The Democratic candidates are stepping up their campaigns to woo the voters of New Hampshire, battling it out on the airwaves with advertisements that hammer at the Republicans' management of the economy.
Gov. Bill Clinton of Arkansas continued his theme of help for the "forgotten middle class" with a second commercial that began appearing on television in New Hampshire today.
In the 30-second advertisement, newspapers bearing headlines about the pay increase for Senators and tax breaks for the wealthy are superimposed on a photograph of the White House at night. The image is a reminder of the vote by Congress for a $23,200-a-year pay raise for senators in the dead of night last July, and it sends a subtle message that the White House supported it. Hitting Hard on Taxes
Then comes Governor Clinton talking directly into the camera: "For 12 years the politicians in Washington have raised their pay, cut taxes on the rich and raised taxes on the middle class. That's wrong."
And he is not the only Democratic candidate with whom television viewers in New Hampshire are becoming acquainted.Continue reading the main story
Senator Tom Harkin of Iowa also began appearing in New Hamsphire today in one of two commercials his campaign has produced. The second is to be broadcast on Friday.
Mr. Harkin's commercials, produced by Ken Swope, a media consultant who worked on some of the advertisements for Michael S. Dukakis in the 1988 primary campaign, blend patriotic images and a sharp partisan edge.
One features Mr. Harkin in shirt sleeves at a rally, American flags flapping behind him. "Let's put this country to work," he tells the audience. And in contrast to the Republican message of trickle-down economics, Mr. Harkin suggests: "Let's put it in at the bottom, let it percolate up for a while."
Senator Bob Kerrey of Nebraska joined the advertising fray last Friday. He shifts from talking about his record in the Vietnam War to a discussion of health care and he assails President Bush for his recent trip to Japan to "beg for a few concessions."
Paul E. Tsongas, the former Senator from Massachusetts, has appeared in two commercials. The first shows him swimming laps, with an announcer saying that Mr. Tsongas has confounded the naysayers throughout his political career.
In the second, Mr. Tsongas talks of his accomplishments as a Senator, including his role in winning Congressional approval for a bailout of the Chrysler Corporation.
No political commercials have appeared for Edmund G. Brown Jr., the former Governor of California. He is relying on radio and on an "800" telephone number to carry his message and to raise money.Continue reading the main story

A lot of people were excited about the look and feel of Crysis for the PC. The problem is, most of us couldn’t afford to upgrade our PC’s to play the game. No need to worry though as they have hinted that Crysis will be making an appearance on your PlayStation 3 console.
According to Crytek insiders, the game is going to be a port of the PC version and will include extra game modes and features that the PC version lacks. You could sort of call it an upgrade of the original.
Due to technical reasons, Crysis is not being developed for the XBOX 360. This does nothing but re-inforce the belief that the PS3 is the better console in the long run. We eagerly await more details on this huge title that could only possibly be rivaled by Killzone 2.
*updated*-changed a word so people don’t assume it’s 100% fact yet.

The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Alcohol and Drug Abuse
Studies Show Alcohol and Drug Abuse Are on the Rise During COVID-19 Pandemic
Recent studies have shown the stress and isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic have led to a marked increase in alcohol and drug abuse. The pandemic has removed or restricted many healthy coping mechanisms that usually help recovering addicts and alcoholics to maintain their sobriety. Precautions intended to protect community health also may be contributing to many overdoses, including fatal ones.
Substance Abuse in COVID Time
Addiction experts say COVID-19 has led to substance abuse increases for several reasons:
- Social isolation: The pandemic has increased susceptibility to substance abuse, addiction, and relapse, according to one report. Social distancing shut down many of the personal connections that are crucial for substance abuse recovery. Many of those in recovery need actual interaction with other people, which online therapy and support groups don’t provide. Once they relapse, users are more likely to overdose if they’re alone; and with no one to help them when they do, death is more likely.
- Stress: Financial worries caused by job losses or reductions in work hours add to the emotional struggles felt by many trying to manage drug abuse and alcohol abuse. Concerns about contracting COVID-19 also are taking an emotional toll. Many former substance abusers may relapse when they lose loved ones, especially if the deceased had been part of their support network.
- Lowered self-esteem: Job loss doesn’t just hurt financially. Some will turn to drugs or alcohol to soothe feelings of poor self-worth. Others will drink or use drugs out of boredom. Being stuck at home with little social interaction adds to the temptation to drink or use drugs to have something to do.
- Reduced support: Many clinics and community-based organizations decreased their services in the early days of the pandemic, either because they were receiving less financial support or a desire to protect workers from infection with COVID-19.
Isolation may be the most significant factor in the rise in substance abuse. Experts say even short periods of isolation can negatively impact emotional well-being, often causing anxiety, depression, and sleep disorders. It adds to the struggle of dealing with those conditions by removing the most healthy means of coping with the stress of isolation.
Overdoses on the Rise
As people have turned to drugs to cope with the stress and isolation required in the pandemic, overdoses are also rising.
According to the American Medical Association (AMA), more than 40 states have seen increases in opioid-related deaths, citing data from national, state, and local public health agencies, law enforcement, emergency medical services, hospitals, treatment centers, research journals, and other sources.
“The AMA is greatly concerned by an increasing number of reports from national, state and local media suggesting increases in opioid- and other drug-related mortality — particularly from illicitly manufactured fentanyl and fentanyl analogs,” the medical association said in the report.
Substance Abuse Rehab at Muse Treatment
The substance abuse professionals at Muse Treatment understand that isolation can be dangerous to someone struggling with an abuse disorder – as hazardous as supplying them with cases of liquor or bags of drugs.
Connecting with other people is an essential element of long-term recovery. Muse Treatment offers group therapy is in both residential and outpatient programs. Community-based assistance like 12-Step programs is another critical tool for long-term recovery.

A juror from the trial over a Florida teen's death after a loud-music argument says most of the panel wanted a murder conviction and that race wasn't a factor in deliberations.
A juror from the trial over a Florida teen’s death after a loud-music argument says most of the panel wanted a murder conviction and that race wasn’t a factor in deliberations.
In a Tuesday night interview with ABC News (http://abcn.ws/1huG5ES ), the woman says only two jurors initially believed 47-year-old Michael Dunn was justified in the 2012 shooting outside a Jacksonville convenience store. Dunn is white; 17-year-old Jordan Davis of Marietta, Ga., was black.
She says an eventual 9-3 deadlock left jurors unable to reach a decision Saturday. They voted to convict Dunn of three counts of attempted murder over shooting at Davis’ friends, also in the SUV with the music playing.
She says the nine jurors were split among first-degree, second-degree and manslaughter verdicts.

In response, the Democratic grassroots released the addresses, names, children’s schools, and children’s names of the two officials.
Under the pressure of these threats, the officials were forced to give their assent to the vote in Detroit, despite the compelling evidence that the vote was conducted and counted improperly.
Thankfully the pressure of the mob has backfired, as now the officials have signed sworn affidavits testifying to the threats and intimidation.
Joe Biden’s campaign took another gut punch today after the Far Left threatened the children of election officials – resulting in the officials refusing to certify the results for Detroit.
This puts the whole State of Michigan’s 16 electoral college votes up for grabs.
Sickeningly, the threats also came from a Democratic state politician, who told a female Republican election official to “think about your kids” and named their school, amid an intense stand-off on Tuesday night that closely resembled a Chinese communist struggle session.
It came around three hours after an unprecedented two-two deadlock along party lines drew praise from the President and the head of the Michigan Republican Party, but outrage from Democrats, including Governor Gretchen Whitmer and Attorney-General Dana Nesssel.

At the nautics trade fair in Düsseldorf the Salona 37 was declared European ship of the year in the category of sailers till 12m in 2007 and also ship of the year 2007 according to the choice of the magazine Sailing World in the category Cruiser/Racer.
The Salona 37 adheres to the idea of recognisable forerunners. The board with its big cockpit, a removable stern thwart and an anchoring system provided with high-quality board equipment allows excellent pleasure in sailing. There are three different interior designs which offer the possibility of choosing among specific needs. An optimized strutcture of the ship allows maximal firmness and minimal weight at the same time. In other words, all stresses and strains of the keel and the steel ropes are directly taken over by the inox structure which is integrated in the ship's bottom and sides. Such a concept allows excellent sailing performances together with high comfort and the functionality of the interior.

Design and implementation of active filter for data implemented with resistors, capacitors, amplifiers or following analysis decides which filter type that is. Active rc filters utilize op-amps together with resistors and capacitors and are fabricated using discrete, thick film and thin-film technologies the performance of these filters is limited by. Passive linear electronic analogue filters are those filters which can be described with linear differential equations (linear) they are composed of capacitors, inductors and, sometimes, resistors (passive) and are designed to operate on continuously varying (analogue) signals. Google has not performed a legal analysis and makes no representation as to the accuracy of the date listed) of resistors, capacitors, and operational amplifiers. Homework assignment 09 question 1 continuous time filters use resistors and capacitors in conjunction with amplifiers a sensitivity analysis of the filter.

Impedance voltage-mode universal biquadratic filters each because grounded capacitor can be implemented grounded capacitors and resistors, which are. An open filter resistor results in an abnormally high dc voltage at the input to the filter and no voltage at the output of the filter leaky capacitors or filter resistors that have lost their effectiveness, or filter resistors that have decreased in value, result in an excessive ripple amplitude in the output of the supply.
The filter circuit can be constructed by the combination of components like capacitors, resistors, and inductors inductor is used for its property that it allows only dc components to pass and blocks ac.

A resistor-capacitor circuit (rc circuit), or rc filter or rc network, is an electric circuit composed of resistors and capacitors driven by a voltage or current source a first order rc circuit is composed of one resistor and one capacitor and is the simplest type of rc circuit. Nalog filters, that is continuous-time filters, or filters that can be implemented with resistors, capacitors, inductors, specialized elements or devices, etc, have enjoyed a long history of use in electrical engineering. With fixed resistors and capacitors this filter is implemented with two resistors using digital potentiometers to design low-pass adjustable filters.

Since second order high pass and low pass filters are the same circuits except that the positions of the resistors and capacitors are interchanged, the design and frequency scaling procedures for the high pass filter are exactly the same as those for the previous low pass filter. Since this is far superior to what can be achieved with the absolute value of resistors or capacitors, it is a key consideration in using sc filters here is the transient analysis of the circuit and its fourier spectrum.

To simplify the analysis of the op-amp circuits, we further make the following assumptions: containing resistors and capacitors and the analysis of the circuit. Although one can design an adequate switched-capacitor version of the biquad by making a resistor-by-resistor replacement in the standard rc biquad filter, such an implementation has been found to have unacceptably wide capacitance spreads, especially when higher filter q's are sought [2.


October is celebrated as International Walk to School Month and the Public Health Agency (PHA) is encouraging parents to do the school run on foot and start to feel the benefits for both them and their children.
Statistics show almost three-fifths (59%) of primary school pupils are driven to or from school by car, while only 31% walk, 10% travel by bus and 1% cycle.
Among post-primary pupils, almost half (46%) travel to or from school by bus, 30% are driven by car and 22% of pupils walk to/from school, while 2% take the train.
Local schools, if you are taking part in the initiative why not send us your pictures, email firstname.lastname@example.org, or email@example.com.
The PHA, along with the Department for Regional Development, also has in place an Active Schools Travel programme. The programme works with Sustrans NI to enable more pupils to walk, cycle or scoot to school rather than taking a lift in the car with their parents.

Wide linear and proximity sensors application in packaging machinery to detect the presence and position of various components is estimated to traction the devices demand over the forecast period.
The global industry is segmented on the basis of the application which includes military, aerospace, automotive, electronics & semiconductors and packaging. Automotive segment was the major contributor to the market demand followed by consumer electronics.
Developing technology in the field of robotics coupled with automated manufacturing services in packaging segment is expected to provide significant market development opportunities in the near future.
Asia-Pacific lead the market and is anticipated to continue its dominance over the forecast period. The major factor for its major share is the electronic appliances manufacturing especially in the countries including China, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.
In addition, automobile manufacturing in Asia Pacific is a significant contributor to the industry demand. Regional demand was followed by North America and Europe mainly on account of military applications coupled with manufacturing automation.
Free trade agreements have helped regions including South America to undertake outsourcing manufacturing activities for North America. This has resulted in significant manufacturing and components assembling in countries including Mexico and Brazil.
Africa is expected to show a slow growth on account of lack of significant application industries including automotive and electric & electronic. Middle East is expected to develop at significant rates owing to increasing vehicle consumption rates.
Key players in the global market Sensata technologies, Honeywell International, Sick AG, and Heidenhain. Merger and acquisition play an important part in expanding the product portfolio. Sensata Technologies acquired Custom sensors in December 2015 in order to increase their portfolio.
Further, companies focus on research and development to introduce new types of devices in the industry to have a competitive advantage. Honeywell introduced their product which was capable of sensing noncontact angular positions.

According to the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, the average period from therapy discovery to Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval is 14 years and costs $1 billion. Clinical research organizations (CROs) and contract development and manufacturing organizations (CDMOs) are growing because the increasing price of developing, testing, manufacturing, and marketing therapies has made it more important that pharmaceutical companies speed the process along with fewer failures. Rather than doing all the clinical trial work or manufacturing work in-house, more healthcare companies are turning to CROs and CDMOs to reduce overhead and expedite bringing therapies to market.

Mumbai: In an attempt to promote an environment-friendly commute, Congress corporator Asif Zakaria has floated the idea of a cycling track to connect Carter Road and Mahim Beach. The proposed 6.4kilometre-long track will run parallel to the 1.2kilometre-long Carter Road promenade on the western side of Bandra.
Zakaria met municipal commissioner Praveen Pardeshi to pitch the idea. The ward officers of Bandra west (HW) and Mahim west (G/north) were also present at the meeting.
“The municipal commissioner reviewed the plan and gave his nod to the idea as the cycling track will encourage an environment-friendly commute and frequent access,” said Zakaria.
Recently, the civic body completed beautification of the Bandra promenade. The garden adjoining Bandra Fort too has been revamped. The civic body has also written to the Archaeological Survey of India for a 'no-objection certificate', to carry out beautification work at the fort.
Beautification of the Mahim and Worli forts are also on the anvil.
Meanwhile, the cycle track project is in the planning stage, and an architect's design is ready. With this new cycling track, the civic body plans to connect the Bandra promenade with Mahim creek.
“The proposed track is designed so as to encourage eco-friendly mobilisation, as it is close to several heritage sites. The track will boost to tourism as well,” said Alan Abraham, the planner and architect of the proposed track.
“We have also designed a plan to connect Chimbai village with Carter Road and the Bandstand. The 600-metre road bridge will be like a walkaway over the creek,” added Abraham.
However, the BMC has not set a deadline for the project. A senior civic body official said, while the commissioner wants to develop the idea, an call is yet to be taken officially.
“The commissioner is in favour of the project and would like to get it rolling at the earliest. However, a deadline is yet to be set,” said the official.

CLAIM: A Twitter user, on Wednesday posted a video in which Kaduna State Governor, Nasir El-Rufai purportedly declared that northerners would not vote for the presidential candidate of the All Progressive Congress (APC) Bola Tinubu, because he was not from the north.
Former Lagos State governor and presidential candidate of the APC, Bola Tinubu flagged off his presidential campaign in Jos, the Plateau State capital, on Tuesday, November 14.
The mega rally was attended by bigwigs within the party, including President Muhammedu Buhari, the party’s National Chairman, Abdullahi Adamu, Senate President Ahmed Lawan, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Femi Gbajabiamila, all APC Governors, members of the party’s National Working Committee, ministers, and former governors, among others.
Meanwhile, a video clip which is being circulated on social media, captures El-Rufai saying “Asiwaju Tinubu is not a Northerner, Arewa people will not vote for him”
The video was posted here
and here and the posts have gained hundreds of likes and retweets.
Short video clips are often misleading, as they may not capture the message contained in the full video from which they are extracted.
Ripples Nigeria found the full broadcast of the rally uploaded by TVC News on its YouTube Channel. The video is three hours long.
In the three-hour long video, state governors and some other major stakeholders in the party were called to the podium to extol the party’s presidential flag bearers, Tinubu and Kashim Shettima. Most of the nothern governors spoke in the Hausa Language.
On his part, El-Rufai urged the people to vote for Tinubu because the Yorubas voted for Buhari in 2015 and 2019. He stated that the opposition party had said Tinubu should not be voted in the north because he is not a Northerner. However, the governor urged them to vote for Tinubu as gratitude to the Yoruba people who voted for Buhari.
Below is an English translation of his admonition:
“The PDP in their campaigns are telling northerners that Tinubu is not a northerner and as such he should not be voted. I, therefore, call on the northerners not to be deceived by such a campaign.
“When Buhari contested in 2015 and 2019, Tinubu and Yoruba in the southern part of the country, voted for him and he won. For that, there is no reason why the northerners should not vote for Tinubu.”
El-Rufai never said that northerners would not vote for Tinubu because he is not from the North. He only mimicked what was allegedly said by the opposition party.
The circulated clip was cut from a longer video and does not carry the governor’s full message.

Earlier this year a coalition of more than 60 environmental, labor, community and academic groups called for a moratorium of up to two years on new warehouse development in Southern California’s Inland Empire, demanding in an open letter to Gov. Gavin Newsom that the governor declare the market’s one billion square foot warehouse sprawl a “public health emergency.”
According to a white paper the groups referenced in their letter, the logistics traffic from Inland Empire’s growing network of more than 4,000 warehouses generates more than 200 million truck trips annually—at a rate of more than 600K per day—spewing more than 15 billion pounds of carbon dioxide, 30 billion pounds of nitrous oxide and 300K pounds of diesel particulate matter annually into the nation’s most polluted air.
While this pushback to warehouse development is most common in California, protests have been springing up in communities across the country as local residents tire of the truck traffic and pollution these facilities tend to attract.
More research has emerged from the Environmental Defense Fund that supports these objections. In particular, locals are wary of the diesel fuel trucks use, which may affect the health of nearby residents and employees, especially those of Color or low wealth, the EDF said in a new report.
Following are four useful questions to help understand what’s needed to make the vital warehouse segment safer and more appealing to all:
How Widespread is the Concern?
More than 15 million people live within a half-mile of a warehouse in 10 states. Those who live in Black, Latino, Asian and American Indian communities as well as areas of low wealth are disproportionately exposed to this pollution.
Another reason for concern is the expectation that whatever is needed should be delivered as fast as possible. Or as Aileen Nowlan, EDF’s U.S. Policy Director, Global Clean Air Initiative, explains, “As corporations taught consumers to expect just-in-time products and delivery, warehouses have moved closer to people’s homes in more communities than ever before, bringing harmful air pollution from trucks with them,” she says, adding, “It’s important to understand who is bearing the brunt of health burdens associated with living close to heavy truck traffic in order to develop and implement smart, targeted policies that protect public health and reduce emissions.”
Where are Burdens Greater?
EDF researchers combined warehouse industry data with a Geospatial information System (GIS) application known as Proximity Mapping, which applies areal apportionment to estimate the characteristics of populations living near specific facilities and pollution sources, using the U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey 5-Year estimates. Among the findings of the 10 states EDF analyzed were that about 17,600 warehouses are located within 10 states; more than 1 million children under age 5 live within a half-mile of warehouses; warehouse proliferation doesn’t spread the risk evenly. In some states like Illinois, Massachusetts and Colorado, the concentration of Black and Latino residents living near warehouses is nearly double the state average.
What is the Challenge of Air Pollution From Diesel Trucks?
While warehouses contribute to the economy through construction and other employment jobs, the trucks used to deliver goods daily—and often multiple times a day—may bring with them air pollution, whether moving or idling. These pollutants may be linked to health issues such as a risk of developing childhood asthma, heart disease, adverse birth outcomes such as low weight, cognitive decline and strokes.
What Affordable Solutions are Available?
The report cites several potential changes that can help such as increased air quality monitoring to provide a better understanding of air pollution around warehouses and a switch to investments in zero-emission transporting. Another useful change would be a database of current and proposed warehouses to make changes in existing ones and improve locations of future facilities by communities helping to plan better.
Third, zero-emissions options are possible for delivery vans, yard trucks and regional haul trucks. Already, manufacturers are investing billions to expand zero-emissions for long-haul trucking.
Fourth, EPA’s recently proposed tailpipe regulation was designed to ensure that up to half of new urban delivery and freight vehicles sold by 2032 will be zero-emitting vehicles. “Communities deserve to know more about the businesses that operate near their homes and schools, especially if they pose a health threat,” Nowlan says. “Solutions exist today to reduce truck-related air pollution and protect public health.”

This has been a sobering week for Britain’s once mighty steel industry. The problems that have led to Tata’s decision to sell its loss-making UK operations have been building for decades, and as politicians take pot shots over who could have done more to save the industry in recent years, it’s worth remembering just how much it has declined.
Forty years ago, there were more than 300,000 steel workers. Today, less than 10 per cent of those jobs remain. The brutal reality is that the number is now set to decline even further.
For those affected in Port Talbot and further afield, the demise is a tragedy. When job losses of such a scale are concentrated in one industry or in such a short space of time, the political instinct to “do something” can be overwhelming.
Indeed, Jeremy Corbyn and his shadow chancellor John McDonnell have found an issue that connects with the very reasons why they came into politics: support for workers, a belief in industrial Britain and a fight-back against the forces of globalisation.
Their calls to nationalise the steel industry are understandable and sincere. They are also wrong. An industry in terminal decline cannot be sustained by indefinite government subsidy. Using taxpayers’ money to keep an unviable sector on perpetual life-support is not a credible policy, and the government knows it.
Business secretary Sajid Javid has said previously that the government cannot control the price of steel, and David Cameron correctly recognises that “nationalisation is not the answer”. But there is a role for government in ensuring that the people affected are supported throughout the difficulties of the coming months and years.
Redundancy pay, community support and retraining will all be expensive – but not as expensive (and certainly more effective) than open-ended industrial welfare. Britain’s steel industry does not exist in a vacuum, and cheap steel imports have brought benefits to the country as well this week’s high-profile costs.
Arguments about the strategic interest of steel are not without merit, and elements of the industry and its skills base should be secured, but sooner rather than later the discussion must move away from saving the industry and towards saving the people who have worked in it.

Longtime Lebanon Police Detective John Wetzel pleaded not guilty in Warren County to charges of domestic violence, aggravated menacing and using a firearm while intoxicated, according to court records.
Wetzel, 41, was arrested on Aug. 11 after Clearcreek Twp. and Springboro police responded to a 911 call at 9:29 p.m. from his wife at their home.
His wife accused him of threatening to kill her and her boyfriend after she returned home from a weekend trip. Wetzel admitted to the wife’s accusations, according to the police report.
“He admitted to drinking most of the day and again he advised he was just mad and would not actually kill his wife or her boyfriend,” according to the report.
Wetzel is to undergo in-patient treatment, while awaiting trial, according to an on-line court filing in the case. The entry indicates a monitor of his location and alcohol use is to be replaced when he comes out of treatment.
The type of treatment was not indicated. Court officials declined to elaborate since treatment is a medical issue.
Wetzel not-guilty plea was entered by attorney John Smith. He could not be reached.
Wetzel is scheduled to return Sept. 9 to Warren County Court to face the misdemeanor charges.
No one was injured during the incident. Police seized a shotgun Wetzel pulled from a dresser drawer, according to the report.
“At that point, Mr. Wetzel opened his top dresser drawer, pulled out a shotgun and racked a round into the chamber. Mrs. Wetzel stated that she has ‘never been so afraid in her life’ and she dialed 911,” according to the report.
Wetzel was booked into the county jail, but released Aug. 12 on a “signature bond.”
A temporary protection order remains in effect. The Warren County Prosecutor’s Office declined to suggest a bond, indicating it would be seeking a special prosecutor.
Mason City Prosecutor Bethany Bennett is handling the prosecution. She was unsure about the treatment entry and declined further comment.
Lebanon Police Chief Jeff Mitchell said Wetzel, recognized as Officer of the Year in 2016 by the local Rotary Club, has been placed on administrative leave and relieved of his duties while the case is pending.

An estimated 91.6 million gallons of untreated sewage and stormwater spilled into the Willamette River last weekend, according to the Portland Bureau of Environmental Services.
A record-setting rainstorm Saturday flooded the city's underground network of pipes that combine sewage and stormwater.
Seven outfalls spilled untreated water into the Willamette on Saturday and Sunday. In all, the overflows lasted nearly 8 hours, on and off, over the weekend.
City officials on Tuesday lifted a 48-hour advisory to avoid contact with Willamette.
The sewage overflow marked Portland's 11th since completion of the $1.4 billion Big Pipe project in November 2011.
Before the project, Portland averaged about 50 spills each year. Now, officials expect no more than four overflows between Nov. 1 and April 30 and one every third summer.

L-Tyrosine Plus Powder
L-phenylalanine is an essential amino acid which can be converted to L-tyrosine by a complex biochemical process which takes place in the liver. L-tyrosine can be converted by neurons in the brain to dopamine and norepinephrine (noradrenaline), hormones which are depleted by stress, overwork and certain drugs. By replenishing norepinephrine in the brain, mental energy levels are enhanced and a feeling of contentment often occurs. Because of the liver conversion necessary for L-phenylalanine to have these effects, L-tyrosine is often faster acting. In addition, the conversion step from L-tyrosine to norepinephrine may be enhanced if the cofactors (vitamins B6 and C) are included.
Cells in the adrenal medulla synthesize and secrete norepinephrine and epinephrine. Since both norepinephrine and epinephrine can cause smooth muscle (arterial) contraction, care with blood pressure should be taken when supplementing L-phenylalanine or L-tyrosine.
L-tyrosine is also a precursor of two thyroid hormones. D-phenylalanine is unique among amino acids because the D-form (normally not found in life) has biological activity that is different from its L-stereoisomer. D, L-phenylalanine is a 50/50 mixture of the two stereoisomers.

text: Antique American Flat Woven Ingrain Rug / Textile, Country Of origin: America, Circa Date: Early 20th Century – Ingrain textiles and rugs are American classics that were inspired by English rugs of a similar variety. Though they were often coarsely textured for the purpose of being used as decorative rugs and floor covering, they became renowned for their strong use of bold, radiant and happy colors. The repeating patterns used throughout these antique American rugs also made the coloring system that much more recognizable, and such effects are visible in this masterpiece. In this antique Ingrain rug, an earthy color palette lends power and grounding to the composition of the flat woven kilim like rug itself. The darker foreground outlines allow individuals to observe the various patterns as they rise against the backdrop, resulting in an almost engraved effect that resonates throughout the entirety of this beautiful antique American flat woven Ingrain rug.

This fun little robot is a test bed to see if the Mindsensors PFMate and SumoEyes will work with leJOS on the EV3. Good news is that both sensors work perfectly with the current 0.5.0-alpha build of leJOS!
The Mindsensors PFMate allows you to control Lego Technic Power Functions Motors by sending IR commands to the power functions receiver. Each receiver has two motor output ports (labeled A and B in the code) and a receiver can be listening on one of four channels (1-4). Thus you can independently control up to 8 Power Functions motors from a single PFMate which should accommodate up to the largest robots. LeJOS for the NXT provided a PFMate class that allowed you to communicate with the PFMate in Java. I tested this class in the 0.5.0-alpha build of leJOS for EV3 and it works perfectly.
NOTE: Despite what is shown on the Mindsensors website the PFMate will work with leJOS!
I also tested the Mindsensors SumoEyes on the EV3. The SumoEyes is a three zone obstacle detector that tells you if an obstacle was detected to the left, right or centre of the centre. The detection is not very accurate, but its handy to have a single sensor that takes the place of two or more Ultrasonic sensors on a single port. leJOS provides the SumoEyesSensor class to interface with the SumoEyes. I discovered that on the EV3 the value returned from the SumoEyes for “No Obstacle” is 1022 and not 1023 as in the class code.
The code is presented as four class files in this handy zip FirstRover.zip which you can unzip and import directly into Eclipse. I used a subsumption class which allows me to build incremental behaviours in layers in the robot code. It’s good way to incrementally test and develop your code.
- PFRover.java – the main rover Java class file that starts the subsumption arbitrator running.
- Driving.java – the subsumption behaviour for driving the robot.
- CollisionDetection.java – the subsumption behaviour for detecting collisions using the SumoEyes.
- ButtonWatch.java – a subsumption behaviour to detect collisions using the SumoEyes.

4 Reasons Daylight Is Essential to Improving Health
The global population is suffering from a lack of exposure to daylight and an over-exposure to artificial light. Architects can have a positive impact on the lives of staff, clients, patients and families.
We have learnt a lot since the discovery that daylight helps prevent and treat children with rickets(*1). Understanding daylight is the first step towards designing healthy architecture. Integrating natural light into work and living spaces counter-acts any lack of opportunity to get outside.
Here are the top four reasons why daylight is essential for building design.
1: Psychological and Physiological
Lack of exposure to natural light results in increases to:
- Poor sleep;
- Low metabolism;
- Reproductive health concerns;
- Cognitive difficulties;
- Neurodevelopment issues;
- Cancer, and;
- Heart disease(*2).
How does sunlight make us ‘feel’ good?
When exposed to UVB sunlight, we experience a boost of beta-endorphins. Nerve cells in the brain and spinal column excrete beta-endorphins. They are ‘feel-good’ chemicals, anti-inflammatories and pain relievers.
2. Cardiovascular Function
Heart disease is the leading cause of mortality in Australia, New Zealand, Great Britain and America(*3-6). A free preventative is available from the sun. UVB rays open arteries, reduce cholesterol, blood pressure and hypertension(*1, 2, 7).
What architectural applications improve cardiovascular function?
High-quality polycarbonate that blocks harmful UV radiation (replacing that doesn’t block 100% of UVB rays).
3. Quality Sleep and Mental Health
The crucial factor for maintaining sleep patterns and quality sleep is through daily exposure to natural light above 1000 lux and reducing artificial lighting(*2). Natural light promotes the healthy synthesis of melatonin. Every night, Melatonin sends signals to various ‘clock genes’ that together, maintain the circadian time structure (CTS). Additionally, Melatonin protects and strengthens the nervous system(*2).
4. Strong Bones
UVB is absorbed by skin tissue and then circulated throughout the body. It’s structure changes as it interacts with other organs, tissues and cells to become a type of vitamin D known as 1,25(OH)2D(*1, 2). This vitamin D increases calcium absorption, antioxidant production and repairs and regulates DNA(*1). Its high level of calcium absorption improves bone strength and helps with diseases such as osteoporosis(*8).
The challenge for architects is finding products which protect from harsh UV rays while allowing natural light in. Incorporating natural light into existing and new building envelopes is achievable with the right products.
MK Lawyers Surpass Wellbeing and Health Goals for Their Staff and Clients
Design Example – Macpherson Kelley (MK) Lawyers
MK Lawyers now have a wonderful working environment for their 100 staff in Dandenong, Melbourne. A huge skylight containing varying Danpalon® polycarbonate panels feature as the centrepiece on the top level. It radiates natural light to create a comfortable internal ambience and reduces the need to use artificial lighting. The skylight was a significant contributor to MK Lawyers achieving their goal of increasing worker and client wellbeing and comfort.
A lack of daylight in living and work environments can impact mental and physical health. Danpalon® glazing panels protect from over-exposure heat and harmful UV radiation while providing high natural light levels.
Together, we can improve health and wellbeing through innovative designs and applications.
