Door Hinges / September 24, 2018 / Laure Lacharite.
This is just figuring the cost of the materials though. To have them installed by a cabinetry professional may cost an additional seventy five to one hundred and fifty dollars. If you cannot locate a soft close part to work with your existing hinges or you are not interested in switching out your hinges to be able to benefit from the new clip-on piece you can purchase a buffer shock absorber that attaches to the cabinet separate from the hinge. Some of these mechanisms get pressed into a hole that is drilled into the cupboard top or bottom. Other styles can be installed using screws. The purchase cost of these parts ranges from three to six dollars each. There will be only one slow-close part that needs to be installed per kitchen or bathroom cabinet door.
Its a fairly easy task to change the hinges on your door but it is somewhat time consuming. This is something that will dramatically change the look of your door and it is something that you definitely want to consider changing. Alright lets go over the different types of hinges that are available. Hinges have holes in them and they usually come in two different amounts of holes - two holes or three holes. The three hole hinges are going to increase the stability of the door. So if your door is heavy than you will want a three holed hinge over the two holed hinge.
Removing a door with a two hole hinge is going to require two helpers so you might want to be sure you have a friend their to hold the door for you as you begin unscrewing it. Another choice you are going to have is whether or not that you want a removable pin or a fixed pin. This is going to depend more on your needs. A removable pin is going to make it easy for you to take the door off the hinges without unscrewing the hinge from the door jamb. You can easily begin shopping online and looking at all of the different designs that there are for door hinges you might actually be amazed at the choices.
By and large one of the most important inventions for everyday use isnt very large at all. Because of cabinet door hinges we are able to store things away behind doors that previously would have been on shelves. Although originally used in 1600 B.C. the Romans adapted the hinge for home use. Flash forward to the American colonies and hinges were used everywhere. Eventually they were outfitted for the doors of wagons heading west most prominently by Charles Hager in St. Louis. He founded the present day Hager Hardware Company and in the 1900s received a patent for the compact butt hinge and the rest as they say is history.

Gerhard continued his uncle's fight for the dukedom of Guelders, supported by King Albert II of Germany. In 1444 he won the Battle of Linnich but was unable to prevail in his fight for Guelders and ultimately sold his claim to Burgundy and acquired Blankenheim-Löwenberg and Heinsberg from Guelders. He was increasingly unable to govern his territories after 1461. His spouse Sophie of Saxe-Lauenburg then wielded regency for him.

'Let them keep it': Trump says U.S. doesn't want China to return drone 'they stole'
U.S. military says it's 'secured an understanding' with China for return of underwater glider
President-elect Donald Trump said Saturday the U.S. should let China keep the U.S. Navy's unmanned underwater glider that it seized in the South China Sea.
Trump tweeted: "We should tell China that we don't want the drone they stole back.- let them keep it!"
- Goodwill visit by Chinese navy draws crowds, questions
- Obama urges Trump to take Russian hacking seriously
- Ivanka Trump could take on 'unprecedented' role as 'first daughter' and close advisor
The drone was seized on Thursday while collecting unclassified scientific data about 92 kilometres northwest of Subic Bay near the Philippines in the South China Sea, which China claims virtually in its entirety, Navy Capt. Jeff Davis, a Pentagon spokesman, said Friday.
"It is ours. It's clearly marked as ours. We would like it back, and we would like this not to happen again," Davis told reporters. He said the drone costs about $150,000 US and is largely commercial, off-the-shelf technology.
Trump blasted China for, as he described it, ripping the research drone out of the water.
We should tell China that we don't want the drone they stole back.- let them keep it!—@realDonaldTrump
China steals United States Navy research drone in international waters - rips it out of water and takes it to China in unprecedented act.—@realDonaldTrump
The USNS Bowditch, which is not a combat ship, was stopped in international waters Thursday afternoon and recovering two of the gliders when a Chinese ship approached, Davis said. The two vessels were within about 450 metres of each other. He said the USNS Bowditch carries some small arms, but that no shots were fired.
According to the Pentagon, as the Chinese ship left with the drone, which is about 3 metres long, its only radio response to the U.S. vessel was, "We are returning to normal operations."
Bonnie Glaser, senior adviser for Asia at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, said the seizure of the glider occurred inside the exclusive economic zone of the Philippines, not China, and appeared to be a violation of international law.
China delineates its South China Sea claims with a roughly drawn sea border known as the "nine-dash line" that runs along the west coast of the Philippines. However, it hasn't explicitly said whether it considers those waters as sovereign territory, and says it doesn't disrupt the passage of other nations' shipping through the area.
The U.S. doesn't take a position on sovereignty claims, but insists on freedom of navigation, including the right of its naval vessels to conduct training and other operations in the sea.
China to return glider after 'unlawful seizure'
Trump's tweet came as the U.S. military said that, through "direct engagement" with the Chinese, it's "secured an understanding" that China's navy will return the underwater glider.
Peter Cook, a spokesman for U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter, said in a statement that the U.S. had registered its objection to what it's calling an "unlawful seizure" of the unmanned submerged device in international waters.
China says its navy seized the glider to ensure the "safe navigation of passing ships."
"In order to prevent this device from posing a danger to the safe navigation of passing ships and personnel, the Chinese lifeboat adopted a professional and responsible attitude in investigating and verifying the device," China's Defense Ministry spokesman Yang Yujun said in a statement on Saturday.
It also accused the U.S. of deploying ships in China's presence to conduct military surveying. "China is resolutely opposed to this and requests the U.S. stop such activities," the statement said.
Relations were already tense between the U.S. and China following Trump's decision to talk by phone with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen on Dec. 2. He later said he did not feel "bound by a one-China policy" regarding the status of Taiwan, unless the U.S. could gain trade or other benefits from China.
China considers the self-governing island its own territory to be recovered by force if it deems necessary.

Pod and stem blight of soybean
Pod and stem blight is caused by the fungus Diaporthe sojae. Pod and stem blight is characterized by black, raised specks that appear in linear rows on mature soybean stems. These specks are fungal reproductive structures known as pycnidia. Pycnidia can also cover pods, but they may not follow the linear pattern seen on stems. These signs are most prevalent from R6 through R8. Linear rows of pycnidia on soybean stem characteristic of pod and stem blight. Image: D. Mueller

The fungal pathogens survive in infested residue and seed. Infection occurs when spores are splashed by rain onto plants in early vegetative growth stages. Pod and stem blight is favored by warm, humid weather when soybean plants are maturing. Also, disease is more severe if harvest is delayed.
Crop rotation and tillage will reduce survival of the causal pathogen. Foliar fungicide can protect quality of seeds if applied near R5, but yield may not be increased. Risk may be reduced by planting a later maturing variety for the region.
For more information see the Pod and Stem Blight and Phomopsis Seed Decay publication.

Following reports that he was arrested on July 31 in connection with the "child support" case reportedly filed by his former partner Johnelline Hickins with whom he has a child, Matt Evans took to social media to express his gratitude to his wife Katrina Fariñas.
In an Instagram post, Matt told his wife, "Nagpapasalamat ako sa Diyos na ikaw napangasawa ko. At nagpapasalamat ako na binigyan mo ako ng tatlong anghel na mahal na mahal ko."
He added, "Anuman pagsubok dumating sa buhay natin, lalaban tayo. Alam ng Diyos at mga taong nakakakilala sa atin ang totoo. Love you."
Meanwhile, Katrina also took to social media recently to defend Matt from the allegations.
She wrote, “Sa lahat na nakakakilala talaga kay Matt, alam na hindi totoo ang bali-balita. Hindi lahat ng nababasa o napapanood ay totoo. Sadyang may mga tao lang talagang hindi makuntento.”
Matt and Katrina got married in 2013.

Telkom announced last week that it will upgrade its 384kbps and 1Mbps ADSL services to 1Mbps and 2Mbps respectively. The company is also planning to increase the price of its entry level (Fast DSL service).
While the ADSL speed increases were expected, many Internet Service Providers (ISPs) were surprised by Telkom’s plans to increase the price of its DSL384 service.
ISPs now have to decide whether they will absorb the entry level DSL price increase, and whether they will bump up their 384kbps and 1Mbps uncapped ADSL users to 1Mbps and 2Mbps respectively (and at what cost).
MWEB ISP CEO Derek Hershaw said that their 384Kbps data-only uncapped ADSL customers were migrated to a 1Mbps product as of 1 June. “At R199-00 per month this product is cheaper than our old 384Kbps product (which was R219-00 per month),” said Hershaw.
MWEB is also planning to introduce a new 2Mbps uncapped ADSL data-only product. “The price of that product is still to be confirmed but it will be more than the current 1Mbps pricing,” said Hershaw.
“For existing 384kbps uncapped customers this means only an extra R10 per month and they receive 3 times the speed. We’ve seen great uptake on the product already,” said Bryant.
Web Africa’s 1Mbps bundled uncapped service will cost R339 per month after the speed upgrades – again an increase of R10 per month.
When it comes to the 1Mbps to 2Mbps upgrades, Web Africa is also ready. “It’s with pleasure that I officially announce our new 2Mbps uncapped data package at R379 per month. As soon as the 2Mbps ADSL lines are available this will be launched,” said Bryant.
“The new 2Mbps ADSL line included will cost an additional R250, which is still below Telkom standard rates.”
“The line will automatically be upgraded from 1Mbps to 2Mbps, at no cost. To take advantage of the new 2Mbps speed, an upgrade option of R190 per month for the uncapped data account will be available for existing 1Mbps data customers,” said Bryant.

We Are Obsessed With Shamaeel Ansari's Turkey Obsession
HELLO! explores why it is that Shamaeel Ansari and Turkey are a match made in heaven!
‘Turkey mania’ has hit Pakistan hard with the actors and actresses from the hit Turkish play ‘Ertugrul’ being the hottest commodities in our entertainment industry these days. But while Pakistani brands are lining up to sign up these Turkish superstars as brand ambassadors, one Pakistani designer is taking inspiration from Turkish culture and paying homage to this great nation in her own work and that is Shamaeel Ansari.
To be fair to Shamaeel, she was doing so long before all things Turkish became everyone’s latest obsession and has shot for a number of her collections in that beautiful country!
Shamaeel has a great personal interest in history in general and as a creative, she finds herself hugely inspired by the history and culture of Turkey and to this end she has done a great deal of research and study into what it is, that makes this great nation unique. Turkey has not only a rich and opulent aesthetic as far as their architecture, textiles, fashion and ceramics are concerned but the country is also home to some of the most picturesque locations in the world and this provides inspiration for some of Shamaeel’s latest work.
Shamaeel takes inspiration from the people, the culture and the locations to weave a beautiful story of a country that is deeply rooted in its glorious past but also has one eye on the future. The lives of the people of this beautiful country straddles the past, present and future and it is this story that Shamaeel Ansari hopes to tell through her work.

Time zones can be tricky. The plan was to depart New York at 11pm local time, sleep through the night, arrive in Copenhagen at noon local time, and get through the day without sleeping so I could manage to sleep through this night.
Instead, I departed New York around 11, read quite a bit from the John Keegan history book I’ve been reading, slept fitfully for two hours, got to my hostel in Copenhagen, and then proceeded to “nap” from 2pm to 8pm. What is it they say about the best laid plans of mice and men?
I had a good day in New York yesterday, having the time to do more than I really was expecting. I was up early, took the train into Manhattan, walked to a diner (called “Trend,” and I highly recommend it), and then spent the afternoon at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
Last time, the only time I’ve been to the Met before this visit, I really only had interest in the paintings from the 17th C. Dutch and the 19th C. impressionists and other famous folks like Caravaggio and Jackson Pollock. This time, I had it in my head that I wasn’t going to be led around the museum by an idea I had about who was most famous. I just wanted to learn about the things I like these days. So I first visited the exhibitions on the ancient Romans and on medieval armor and weaponry.
It was quite a different experience – knowing who Caracalla and Constantine were, recognizing the historical context (the 3rd century crises) and the accomplishments of Aurelian (who defeated numerous invaders and quashed the Palmyrene attempts at forming a separate empire) made all of those bodiless heads a bit more interesting than they’d been on other occasions on which I’ve seen them. Marcus Aurelius’, in particular, is a head I’ll remember. I saw swords as tall as I, body armor from the 15th century German workshops, and dummies dressed as cavalrymen, atop faux horses.
I dipped into the temporary but well known China exhibition only to drop back out of it almost immediately, finding it too congested for my liking. And I did go see the haystacks and the small version of “A Sunday on La Grande Jatte” (the pointillist ladies in the park painting), whose larger comrade has a home in the Art Institute of Chicago. The Met still isn’t my favorite museum, but I have learned a lot each time I’ve visited. The audio guide helps.
Following my visit to the Met, I headed down to the 5th Avenue Apple store, being foolish enough to think I could receive service that very afternoon. Instead, I was met by hundreds of customers, dozens of employees, no one achieving much of anything. I left quickly. I don’t much care for the crowds in that shopping district and was glad to escape back to the Hostel, to the airport, and to my first-class flight to Copenhagen (aboard a Norwegian Airlines Dreamliner!).

The Soldier’s Girl by Sharon Maas
The Soldier’s Girl is a wartime historical fiction. I bought this book after reading a glowing review of it on another book blog. I enjoy this genre, especially the intense fear and danger that resistance members and agents put themselves under.
The story beings in the pre-war years from 1929. Recently widowed, Sibyl’s mother takes her two young daughters to Alsace, France, where they can heal from the horrors of a father who left them with little financial support. They stay with her mother’s school friend at a vineyard for five years until the threat of war draws near.
By 1938, Sibyl is training as a nurse in England. Fluent in French, German and Alsatian, a local French dialect, she is identified as someone who could be trained as a secret agent. The story then takes us to 1943, when Sibyl is given a new identity as well as her own spy circuit. She’s dropped into the isolated Alsace area to meet with, and help coordinate, the local resistance fighters.
I enjoyed learning about the historical fight for ownership of the Alsace region between Germany and France. I was unaware that during the war, Germany claimed the area as its own, forcing the people to rename their streets, towns and even their family names with German ones. I also liked the parts of the book set around the vineyard; they felt very genuine and idyllically French.
Much of the writing is dialogue-led and although it is used to move the story forward, great chunks of detail in dialogue format are never my favourite style of storytelling. I found Sibyl a disappointment; wartimes spies were extraordinarily careful and professional, as they knew that their work was a matter of life and death. However, reacquainted with Jacques, a childhood friend from the vineyard, she breaks her strict training rules of secrecy. Her radio messaging is unrealistic; everything should be in code, but Sibyl speaks to her contact as if she is using the telephone. And I’m afraid I couldn’t believe that her high-ranking German officer ‘sweetheart’ would be so easily led into gossiping and the divulging of intelligence details to a local girl. This could have been so much darker and more edgy.
Overall, the setting was a delight, but the secret agent aspect was let down by unbelievable actions and it weakened the storyline.
View all my reviews on Goodreads
France 1944. An English Nurse. A German Soldier. A tragic love affair …
English girl Sibyl Lake arrives in Colmar, a small French town, surrounded by vineyards and swarming with German soldiers. Trained as a nurse, Sibyl has been recruited as a British Agent to support the French Resistance.
When Sibyl’s work leads her to her childhood sweetheart Jacques, she is overjoyed. But their happy reunion is shortlived as it is not just Jacques’ eye that Sibyl has caught …
Commander Wolfgang von Haagan is very taken with the attractive English stranger, and Sibyl realises that she can help her own country by listening to the secrets of this soldier’s heart. As she grows closer to Wolfgang she gets to know the man behind the uniform and despite her best intentions, soon she is caught in a terrible love triangle.
And when Jacques finds that Sibyl is involved with the enemy, he is determined to prove himself to her with one last act of heroism. An act that will put all of their lives into terrible danger ….
A gripping and heartbreaking story of love behind enemy lines and the overwhelming tragedy of war.

As a new start up, we are excited and honored to be written about. Here is some information about Zestyer and what we do. There is a set of documents at the end to help you write, record, and/or share your thoughts on Zestyer.
Zestyer is a food marketplace. Users can buy food from or sell food to other users. Simply sign up and start selling or ordering. Both the cooking role (chefs) and ordering role (diners), sign in to the same account. You can get to ordering as soon as you sign up. The chef role, or the ability to sell food, is disabled by default. A user needs to apply and be approved to be a chef. Read more about the roles and chef verification (approval to sell) below.
Our mission is to change how we 'do' food. We don't want to keep going back to the same few restaurants over and over just to order the same frozen, prepackaged and flavorless foods again and again. We want to deliver new foods. To give people a taste of different cultures. And, at the same time, let the people of those cultures earn. Why do we buy food from chains? Even the people in charge rarely eat at their own establishment. Zestyer chefs prepare their foods in their own kitchens from the same fresh ingredients you buy at your local store. You won't find a walk-in freezer stuffed with frozen meats, vegetables, and sauces in any of our chefs' kitchens because they're not restaurants. Zestyer is better. Zestyer chefs express themselves with their food. It's not a paycheck, it's a meal. With Zestyer, diners get authentic, delicious meals.
Zestyer has two sides: the users who prepare and sell food and the users who buy food. Both sides are managed through the same account. When you sign up, you get a chef profile and a diner profile. Your diner profile is ready to go as soon as you sign up. Your chef profile is disabled by default. To become a chef, you need to be onboarded. Read more about this below.
Chefs sell food on Zestyer. Chefs are people who are passionate about cooking. Chefs are people who want to work from home and earn money online, doing what they love. We make sure chefs are friendly, responsible, and passionate about delivering diners the utmost service and delicious foods. Becoming a chef is easy, albeit takes some time.
Diners buy food from chefs. Anyone can be a diner. All you have to do is sign up and start ordering. All of our chefs pass a background check and we check in with them regularly to make sure everything is going well. We monitor chefs very closely. If you would feel comfortable ordering from a restaurant, feel comfortable ordering from a Zestyer chef.
Where is Zestyer?
Zestyer currently has a website https://zestyer.com. The website gets all the new features first. The website is currently the only way to be a chef.
Zestyer also has mobile apps for iOS and Android. These apps are for diners. Most actions you can do on the website can be done through the app. We try to make both the iOS and Android apps the same.
Zestyer is currently available in all 50 states of the United States of America, however we focus on key cities. These are displayed on the home page https://zestyer.com.
How it works
Users who sign up get two different profiles: a chef profile and a diner profile. As a diner all you have to do is verify your email and then you can search and view all the foods in your area. When you see something you like, you can order it. We accept all major credit and debit cards.
A charge on the card takes place when the chef confirms the order. Until the diner releases the funds, which is an action on the receipt, Zestyer will hold the funds. Rest assured, if you feel wronged by a chef, they cannot get your payment.
Once an order is place, the chef must confirm it. Once confirmed, a receipt is created for the order. Both the chef and diner can access the receipt and perform actions on the order. This may include chatting with the other party or simply moving the order to the next state.
Once the diner is satisfied with their order, he/she must release the funds. If a diner is unsatisfied, they may dispute the order. A live Zestyer representative will contact both the diner and chef to sort the matter. A maximum of 6 weeks is assigned to every dispute; however we try to get disputes resolved within days.

More on DeadDeath: Jerry D. Baker Death | Killed On US 278 Accident


By Michael D. Shear
In the nearly nine months since President Joe Biden signed into law a series of gun safety measures last summer, scores of Americans have been killed or wounded in mass shootings across the country: in the Illinois suburbs, at a Virginia university, in an LGBTQ nightclub in Colorado and at a dance studio in this Los Angeles suburb.
Throughout that time, Biden has vowed to seek passage of a new ban on assault weapons “come hell or high water.” But the president and his aides have acknowledged there is virtually no chance of that happening in a Congress that remains deeply divided over how to confront the slaughter of its citizens in repeated spasms of gun-related violence.
So Biden traveled Tuesday to Monterey Park, where a gunman killed 11 people in January during Lunar New Year festivities at Star Ballroom Dance Studio, to announce a handful of steps designed to improve enforcement of existing laws that have so far failed to prevent mass shootings in one American community after another.
“Today, I’m announcing another executive order that will accelerate and intensify this work to save lives,” Biden told a small audience in Monterey Park that included family members and victims of the shooting, which terrorized the Asian American community here.
“It’s just common sense,” the president said during the event, which had the somber tone of a memorial to those who died. “Check whether someone is a violent felon, a domestic abuser, before they buy a gun.”
Biden, who spent time meeting privately with relatives of the shooting victims, during his public remarks offered a somber recounting — one by one — of the 11 people who were killed on “a day of festivity and light turned into a day of fear and darkness.”
One had an “infectious smile,” the president noted. Another exuded “kindness, sweetness and generosity.” A third was “a lifelong learner.”
The visit, and the announcement of a new executive order, is Biden’s latest attempt to express his horror over the continued loss of life and to demonstrate his administration’s effort to reduce the chance of another mass shooting.
But the president is constrained by the Second Amendment and a political system that has so far refused to make progress on his demands for universal background checks for gun sales, a ban on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines and the repeal of immunity from liability for gun manufacturers.
He repeated the assault weapons demand on Tuesday, noting that he had advanced the effort in the Senate in 1993 to pass a ban, which expired amid political disagreement a decade later.
“None of this absolves Congress from the responsibility of acting,” he said, his voice rising. “Let’s finish the job. Ban assault weapons. Ban them again. Do it now. Enough. Do something. Do something big.”
Biden’s new executive order is far more modest than that kind of lofty ambition.
It directs the attorney general to make sure gun dealers are complying with existing background check laws. It seeks to improve reporting of guns and ammunition that are lost or stolen while in transit. It calls for better transparency about gun dealers who are cited for firearms violations. And it directs agencies to work with the National Integrated Ballistics Information Network to improve the quality of investigations into gun crimes.
Some gun control advocates praised Biden for the new order. John Feinblatt, president of Everytown for Gun Safety, said the effort to crack down on gun dealers “will significantly expand background checks on gun sales, keep weapons out of the hands of dangerous people and save lives.”
But few advocates think that the steps will bring an end to the country’s routine gun violence.
Jose Sanchez, the mayor of Monterey Park, said he is optimistic that the United States will eventually make bigger changes to seriously confront what he called an “addiction” to guns and gun violence in the country.
He praised Biden for signing the new executive order. But he said it is not enough.
“I don’t want in any way to offend the president,” Sanchez said. “Because I think he’s heading in the right direction. I think he’s listening to what we need. But if I were to advise him, and if I were to be able to sit down with him, I would tell him that after he gets himself reelected, that he needs to focus his next four years on making some serious changes.”
On Tuesday, Biden said he would continue to call on Congress to act.
“In the meantime, my administration will continue to do all that we can, within existing authority, to make our communities safer,” he said in the preamble to the executive order.
Tuesday’s executive order is primarily an effort to make sure federal agencies are putting last year’s law into practice.
David Hogg, a co-founder of March for Our Lives and a survivor of the 2018 shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, said in a statement that he was pleased to see Biden taking action.
“In poll after poll, gun safety is a winning issue in elections,” Hogg wrote. “Americans and young people don’t care about excuses. We care about results.”
Hogg predicted that action on gun safety would win the youth vote in 2024.”
Whether that ends up being true could depend in part on whether the actions Biden announced are seen as playing a role in preventing at least some of the mass shootings that would have occurred without them.
And it will depend on how aggressively gun rights advocates fight back. Several groups issued statements Tuesday vowing to do just that.
“Our elected leaders should be supporting those law-abiding Americans instead of finding more ways to hinder their right to defend themselves,” said Katie Pointer Baney, managing director of government affairs for the U.S. Concealed Carry Association.

An endless supply of a biomolecular system
The biomolecular system of Avivie includes total care for skin, and nutritional supplement of the vibrant and high purity plant raw material. A concentration of bioactive substance and minerals in cosmetics contribute to regeneration and nutrition on a cellular level.
Due to the ability of some elements to stimulate the necessary processes of the body recovery, and having the beneficial effect on the life processes, the number of clients and partners grows exponentially. Today, the Avivie BMS products can be justly considered organic, products that normalize the Biorhythms of the body and revive the innate potential of each cell. You ask, what is the reason of such a success? An international team from Japan and Israel has united the results of Nobel Laureates into their elaboration. A common language for the communication of between scientists was the wish to create innovative means of skin care and nutrients to keep immunity, metabolism and brain activity.
We all know from lessons of biology that the genetic data of human body is the template DNA. Genetic data can carry not only data about skin color and height of the person but also information about when he will grow old. Due to latest scientific discoveries, the scientists said that oldness is just a disease and they can heal it. Scientific studies based on molecular modeling included the methods of studying capacities of protein in every living organism for the opening of the hidden gene youth in every human. Nano-complex (called due to micro-size) of each cell is composed of fine particles including 6 nm lipids and peptides of 2 nm. Precisely their functional part we will analyze in this article. Scientists and beauticians interested in peptides equally because they can transmit information between cells, by reaction of the immune and endocrine systems. Due to peptides, there is an exchange of information between cells, thereby producing a synthesis of new protein molecules — the regeneration. Each human organ has the own group and type of peptides. The most common types used by pharmacists of Avivie Company we will discuss later, but for now a little lesson of Biology.
Lipids are a group of organic compounds that includes lipoids, alcohols, and high molecular weight acids. The cell energy potential is defined by the level of lipids. It implements structural-functional part, being a major component of cell membranes. The feature of lipids is the protective property, fat in this case for the health-insulation of the body. Need to mark that the lipids are a source of the water of combustion.
Let us now return to peptides consisting of residues of two or more amino acids linked together in a chain by amide bonds. They are products of metabolism. Сhain consists of two to twenty amino acids called an oligopeptide if 50 or more amino acids — the protein. We have learned to synthesize these proteins in the laboratory from plants, animals, and humans. A feature of the peptides is that — in the human body they help cells work correctly and restore the lack of protein. If the body does not function properly, or in old age significantly reduces the amount of protein synthesis — it leads to the deterioration of the body and visible defects of organs. The first of symptoms occur on the skin. To restore the missing amount of protein in the body, scientists suggested adding the nutrients like peptides and dipeptides in cosmetics and dietary supplements. Fast and natural absorption by the body provides regenerative properties. It significantly rejuvenates and restores the skin and the organism as a whole. Fast and natural absorption by the body provides regenerative properties. It significantly rejuvenates and restores the skin and the organism as a whole. It is the only powerful ingredient getting into the deepest layers of the skin, notwithstanding the constant disagreements of cosmetologists, who are so accustomed to Botox injections and others fast acting procedures.
You should note that unlike injections of the Beauty, giving immediate effect, peptide-based cosmetics shows the results after a few months of application. However, our products have a function of accumulating. For more rapid restoration of protein in the body, we recommended the contemporaneous use of cosmetics and nutritional supplements. It means that you keep your skin young and healthy for a long time!
Youth genes or molecule of life
Why did we call peptides like that? At first, let we divide their types to understand what borders we can open to us — Avivie scientists. Managed by the scientific research, we discovered that there is the special type of peptide for each type of tissue.
There are regulatory peptides among the most important peptides in a human body. In 1930, American scientist-physiologist proposed the terminology «homeostasis» that characterizes the life processes of the whole organism. It means that the regulatory peptides serve for regulation and toning of your body. Nowadays, experts consider that the most important regulatory peptides are low-molecular oligopeptides, which molecule consists of not more than four amino acids. Their significance is — they do not stimulate the generation of antibodies, so they are harmless to the health and fit for the production of pharmaceuticals. In the following article, you will learn about new types of peptides that are used by pharmacists Avivie.

- "No robot can survive being hit by Lightning Tracks!"
- — Russ Barrow
Lightning Tracks was a tracked robot which competed in the second season of Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors. It lost its first round battle in the US Championship, and therefore its only fight, after suffering from radio reception issues against Destructive Criticism and Run Away.
Lightning Tracks was a tracked, wedge-shaped robot designed to resemble a tank, with a camouflage paint job, wide hinged protective side-panels, and a disposable cardboard turret on top. Its weapons were a series of long steel spikes and a lifting plate powered by linear actuators. The robot's drive system could reverse directions, and the robot was fully invertible.
Specifically for its first-round match against Destructive Criticism, Lightning Tracks was equipped with loose ropes and chains at the rear, to form an entanglement device.
- Carol Grow: "Rumor has it you have a secret weapon, are you willing to tell us about that?"
- Russ Barrow: "Well then it wouldn't be secret!"
- — Team Dark Forces allude to their entanglement device
It had radio issues throughout the match, and moved very sporadically as Destructive Criticism spun its weapon up and struck the sides of Lightning Tracks several times, albeit without sustaining major damage. Run Away pressed the pit release button and drove right over the top of Lightning Tracks and its aerial, where it got stuck on its wedge and tank turret. Destructive Criticism continued to strike both robots, causing serious damage to Lightning Tracks' sides and Run Away's wheel. When Refbot finally separated Lightning Tracks and Run Away, both machines were immobile, but Refbot counted out Lightning Tracks as it had become immobilized first. Lightning Tracks was positioned on the Floor Flipper and was thrown, then it was pitted by Shunt, eliminating it from the competition.
- "We had some transmitter difficulties, I could only give really sporadic signals to the robot on the drive."
- — Russ Barrow

Outside Robot WarsEdit
A version of the robot without the turret and side panels competed in Robotica under the name Dark Track. The team also competed in BattleBots with Dark Steel and Dark Shredder, and earned an Honourable Mention in The Combat Robot Hall of Fame after Robot Wars: Extreme Warriors ended, with the antweight Dark Pounder.
- Lightning Tracks was the only robot to fall in the first round of Extreme Warriors Season 2 and not participate in either one of the side events or Nickelodeon Robot Wars.
- In the official Robot Wars planner, Lightning Tracks was referred to as "Lightning Traxx".

The impact of the location of export processing zones on the local communities: the case study of Athi River
Munyao, Gregory M
MetadataShow full item record
Export Processing Zones (EPZs) not only have an impact on the domestic economy of host countries but also on the local communities where they are located. This study therefore set out to examine and investigate the impact of the location EPZs on the local communities in Athi River Constituency. The study argues that the location of EPZs attracts the establishment of various amenities (initially by the government) as a way of creating an enabling environment for investment for the EPZs. The location of EPZ came with a takeoff package that was non-excludable in nature which benefited the local communities. The study also argues that the creation of an enabling environment in the EPZs caused an influx of population which opened up the area for further development and attracted other communities (service providers) to provide for their emerging demands. The study concludes that the location of EPZs in Athi River largely benefited local communities through the takeoff package of development, through the influx of population due to the presence of the zones in the area, and through the creation of new investment, business and employment opportunities emanating from emerging demands of the local communities.

Olkiluoto 3 nuke plant starts power production
The electricity production of Olkiluoto’s third nuclear power plant (OL3) unit started on Saturday, said the owner of the plant Teollisuuden Voima Oyj (TVO) in a press release.
The plant unit has been connected to the national grid at 12.01 p.m. at a power output of 103 MW.
The OL3 significantly improves Finland’s electricity self-sufficiency and helps in achieving carbon neutrality goals.
During the about four-month test production phase, the OL3 plant unit’s power output will be gradually increased to 1,600 MW.
This output is considerable; approximately 3-4 terawatt hours during the test production phase, which corresponds with about 10 percent of Finland’s electricity demand. The power output varies considerably during test production.
“The start of electricity production has been carefully prepared for, and this is a great demonstration of our expertise. OL3 is a significant addition to clean electricity production in Finland, the share of which will rise to over 90 percent. At the same time, the need for the import of electricity will decrease to below half,” said Senior Vice President of Electricity Production, Marjo Mustonen.
OL3’s regular electricity production starts in July 2022. Once regular electricity production has started, OL3 will produce about 14 percent of Finland’s total electricity consumption.
“The start of electricity production is a central milestone in our joint project with the plant supplier Areva-Siemens. Now, we will continue the test production by gradually increasing the plant unit’s power output and prepare for the start of regular electricity production,” said OL3 Project Director, Jouni Silvennoinen.

Background:Primary cardiac tumors are infrequently, usually benign, and diagnosed incidentally. Among primary cardiac tumors, cardiac hemangiomas are exceptionally rare with only a 1–2% incidence. In most cases, histological diagnosis is made after surgical removal or at autopsy.
Case presentation: A 36-year-old male patient is suffering from several months of bothering night sweats. He has no previous medical history and is not taking medication. After performing various exams, including an electrocardiogram and chest rx-ray that were unremarkable, the patient performed a chest TC scan that shows a large mass at right atrial level (Figure 1). Surprisingly, at transthoracic echocardiography the mass was not visible and moreover the exam was normal. To better visualize the mass, a transesophageal echocardiography was performed, showing a inhomogeneous, round-shape, intracavitary mass of 70×65 mm in size. The mass appear to be fixed, expansive, with no embolic-features and seem to be initially-obstructing the upper-cava blood flow (Figure 2), even the patient was hemodynamically stable. A diagnosis of lymphoma was initially suspected and an Total-body PET-TC was performed, showing that the heart mass was metabolically inactive and an intestinal metabolic active mass. Intestine mass biopsy, made by colonscopy, showed a non-malignous villous adenoma. Before undergoing heart surgery, to understand the nature of the mass, we performed a intracavitary ecocardiography (ICE)-guided percutaneous biopsy. Histologically, the heart tumor was composed of cavernous channels embedded in a loose fibrous stroma, compatible with Cavernous hemangioma. At heart surgery, the mass was localized inside the right atrium, at upper-front level, adhered to a small part of atrial myocardium, and was removed without complications. The right atrium was rebuilt with artificial patch. (Figure 3).
Conclusions: Cavernous cardiac Hemangioma is a rare tumor that may have an atypical clinical presentation. To our knowledge, this is the first case of cardiac hemangioma diagnosed by ICE-guided endomyocardial biopsy.

DIGGING THEIR OWN HOLE- THE MSM PLUMMETS.
The more they attack Fox and the handful of talk radio programs that don't adhere to the government line and are not sufficiently worshipful, the more popular Fox gets.
Meanwhile, CNN and The Times are going down the toilet.
The numbers are HUGE. Check it out: American Thinker has the stats.
It explains the new calls for the "fairness" doctrine. The far left radio network, Air America, after debuting to much fanfare and promotion in the rest of the MSM, crashed and burned.
No one wanted to listen to it. No one was prevented from listening to it.
But that's not good enough. They are working on taking money away from successful stations to create government approved stations. It's not fair that no one wants what they're selling. So, like everything else, they have to steal and cram it down our throats.
On top of that, there are increasing calls for the government to use your money to bail out these failing propaganda organs.
If the press remains free, and people read and watch what they want, they tell us, the free press is in danger of dying!

MEDECOS XIV International Conference
XIII AEET Meeting
"Human-driven scenarios for evolutionary and ecological changes"
Sevilla, Spain, [31st January-4th February 2017]
MEDECOS is an international conference organized by ISOMED, the International Society of Mediterranean Ecology, which aims to meet the scientific community interested in Mediterranean-type ecosystems (MTEs). The AEET is the Spanish ecological society mainly devoted to terrestrial systems. The main focus is on any aspect of the ecology and evolution of Mediterranean ecosystems and their species, from plants to animals and also microorganisms. By joining scientists and students which research focus on MTEs we expect great advance in providing similarities and differences on how MTEs function, change and evolve. A preliminary list of themes will include:
- Comparative ecology and evolution
- Historical biogeography of Mediterranean lineages
- Current species conservation challenges
- Biodiversity: species interactions, networks, communities and phylogenetics
- Evolutionary and ecological drivers of MTEs as biodiversity hotspots
- Ecophysiology and functional traits
- Ecosystem functioning and services: challenges and risks in a changing world
- Consequences of biotic and environmental global changes on MTEs
The origins of MEDECOS date back to March 1971, when an international group of scientists convened in Valdivia, Chile, to discuss their work on Mediterranean-climate ecosystems. MEDECOS has been hosted every 3-4 years in different locations of the five Mediterranean areas of the world (Mediterranean Basin, SW Australia, California, Central Chile and the Cape Region in South Africa). In 2017, MEDECOS will meet in Sevilla, a lively and friendly town in southern Spain, simultaneously with the biennial symposium of the Spanish Association for Terrestrial Ecology (AEET).
During the last day of the conference we will organize two alternative all-day trips, to Doñana National Park and to the Alcornocales Natural Park around the Strait of Gibraltar region. Doñana besides being the largest and more diverse wintering waterfowl areas in Europe, has interesting "monte blanco" and "monte negro" matorral-type vegetation and extremely well preserved mobile coastal dune vegetation. Los Alcornocales is dominated by extensive sclerophyllous cork-oak (Quercus suber), semideciduous oak (Q. canariensis) woodlands and heathlands, with singular endemic and Tertiary relict woody species.

What was Dada art a reaction to?
Dada was an artistic and literary movement that began in Zürich, Switzerland.
It arose as a reaction to World War I and the nationalism that many thought had led to the war..
What is an example of Dada art?
Examples of Famous Dada Artworks Marcel Duchamp’s Bicycle Wheel (1913) Man Ray’s Ingres’s Violin (1924) Hugo Ball’s Sound Poem Karawane (1916) Raoul Hausmann’s Mechanical Head (The Spirit of our Time) (1920)
Why is the Cabaret Voltaire significant?
Through the Cabaret Voltaire, a group of likeminded young artists and writers came together with the common objective of the site becoming a center for artistic entertainment. The Cabaret offered musical and dance performances, as well as poetry and spoken word.
Who was the founder of Dadaism?
Hugo BallIn addition to being anti-war, dada was also anti-bourgeois and had political affinities with the radical left. The founder of dada was a writer, Hugo Ball. In 1916 he started a satirical night-club in Zurich, the Cabaret Voltaire, and a magazine which, wrote Ball, ‘will bear the name ”Dada”. Dada, Dada, Dada, Dada.
What was the Cabaret Voltaire?
Cabaret Voltaire was the name of an artistic nightclub in Zürich, Switzerland. It was founded by Hugo Ball, with his companion Emmy Hennings, in the back room of Holländische Meierei, Spiegelgasse 1, on February 5, 1916, as a cabaret for artistic and political purposes.
What is a Dada poem?
As the first 20th-century conceptual art movement, Dada rejected reason and logic, prizing nonsense, irrationality, and intuition. … A common feature of the dada soirée was the simultaneous poem, consisting of three or more participants speaking, singing, whistling, or bellowing different “poems” at the same time.
Why is it called Dada?
This new, irrational art movement would be named Dada. It got its name, according to Richard Huelsenbeck, a German artist living in Zurich, when he and Ball came upon the word in a French-German dictionary. To Ball, it fit.
What does Dada mean?
: a movement in art and literature based on deliberate irrationality and negation of traditional artistic values also : the art and literature produced by this movement.
How do you make Dada?
To make a Dadaist poem:Take a newspaper.Take a pair of scissors.Choose an article as long as you are planning to make your poem.Cut out the article.Then cut out each of the words that make up this article and put them in a bag.Shake it gently.Then take out the scraps one after the other in the order in which they left the bag.More items…
Why was Dada art created?
Dada was born out of negative reaction to the horrors of the First World War. This international movement was begun by a group of artists and poets associated with the Cabaret Voltaire in Zürich. Dada rejected reason and logic, prizing nonsense, irrationality and intuition.

I THINK I HAVE PROVEN MY POINT THANKS FOR READING XD
No it doesn't! It looks a lot better than Killzone 2. killzone 2 was very good, i enjoyed it and i believe Guerrilla can deliver a better sequel. But c'mon give us a playable demo or something to whet out appetite.By the way, please no obsessive fanboy BS here!
That guy looked like he was fighting back a brutal sneeze the whole time.
So, this wasn't really impressive... Everything that has been done in the game has been done before, and the graphics look EXACTLY the same as Killzone 2.
Bad to the ass!
NOT hands on. Good interview but not hands on. Come on!
Hope we get a beta or demo. I really wanna try out the controls and see how much they improved on it.

"Reflections" takes a hard look at the duality of a person; the contradictions between how they see themselves and how other people see them. "I asked The Good Sin if he could imagine being himself through someone else's eyes," explains Fatal when asked about the inspiration behind the song.

Governments welcome new WHO/UNICEF global immunization strategy that aims to avert millions of deaths
25 May 2005 | Geneva - Governments meeting at the World Health Assembly officially committed to adopting an ambitious new global strategy to fight vaccine-preventable diseases, which kill more than two million people every year, two-thirds of whom are young children 1. The Global Immunization Vision and Strategy (GIVS) was designed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the United Nation's Children's Fund (UNICEF).
"The new Vision and Strategy will enable us to rise to the serious challenges we foresee in the immunization field in the next decade. More people, from infants to seniors, must be protected from more diseases. We will take immunization to new heights, building on solid achievements of the past, and will bring good health to many more," said Dr LEE Jong-wook, Director-General, WHO.
GIVS has three main aims: to immunize more people against more diseases; to introduce a range of newly available vaccines and technologies; and to provide a number of critical health interventions with immunization. GIVS covers the period 2006-2015 and offers a set of strategies from which countries can select and implement those most suited to their specific needs. Vaccination has been one of the most successful and cost-effective public health interventions in history. It has eradicated smallpox, lowered the global incidence of polio by 99% since 1988, and achieved dramatic reductions in illness and death from diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough and measles. In 2003 alone, immunization averted more than two million deaths.
However, immunization is far from universal in many countries, and some countries are slipping back from previously established vaccination coverage levels. In 2003, an estimated 27 million infants and 40 million pregnant women worldwide remained unprotected from vaccine-preventable diseases.
"One in four children is still deprived of lifesaving vaccines that should be within reach," said UNICEF Executive Director Ann M. Veneman. “This new Strategy recognizes that if we are to improve child survival, immunization must be sustained year in and year out."
Child health and survival will be improved through the delivery of a package of key health interventions, such as nutrition and insecticide-treated nets against malaria, at the point of immunization, especially for populations who are hard to reach. The Strategy gives unprecedented attention to such people, who tend to be poor, socially marginalized and/or living in remote or underserved geographical areas such as urban slums and remote rural areas. The goal is for each country to reach 80% immunization coverage in each district by 2010.
Another pillar of GIVS is to ensure access of those at risk in all countries to an unprecedented array of new vaccines and technologies that are already licensed or are at an advanced stage of development. These include vaccines against major killers such as rotavirus, which is responsible for as much as one-fourth of the 1.9 million annual child deaths due to acute diarrhoea and pneumococcal disease which makes up a large proportion of the two million annual deaths from acute respiratory infections.
Over the next ten years, the cost of immunization is expected to rise substantially as countries include the newer and more expensive vaccines in their immunization programmes. Although these vaccines are still cost-effective, affordability will present a barrier to their use, particularly in low-income countries. Strategic partnerships with industry and new approaches to health financing to ensure equitable access to these vaccines are critical.
GIVS urges all stakeholders to increase resources for immunization, ensuring that affordable vaccines and the necessary funds for immunization are available to all countries, including for use in health emergencies and global epidemics. GIVS also calls for every child, adolescent and adult to have equal access to immunization.
With adequate efforts and financial support, by 2015, immunization could be preventing 4-5 million child deaths per year; and would contribute significantly to the Millennium Development Goals, especially the reduction by two-thirds of the under-five child mortality rate. GIVS sets a number of specific immunization goals, such as reducing measles mortality by 90% within the next five years from the 2000 level.
WHO and UNICEF will assist governments in designing, financing and implementing strengthened sustainable national immunization programmes that meet their specific, evidence-based needs. Above all, governments are strongly encouraged to put immunization high on all health agendas.
1WHO estimates that in 2002 2.1 million people died of diseases preventable by vaccines currently recommended by WHO; measles (610 000 deaths), hepatitis B (600 000), Haemophilus influenzae type b (386 000), pertussis or whooping cough (294 000), tetanus (213 000) and others such as yellow fever (36 000), diphtheria and polio. Of the 2.1 million, 1.4 million were children under the age of five.


Integrity Music announces the September 23 global release of Songs of the People, a new album from Prestonwood Worship, the music ministry of the 42,000-member Prestonwood Baptist Church, which has two locations in the Dallas area. The project features all new songs from Prestonwood’s worship team led by Dove Award winning songwriter Michael Neale (“Your Great Name”) along with Prestonwood’s renowned mass choir and special guests Paul Baloche and Michael W. Smith.
The 13-track project, which was produced by Michael Farren (AllAboutWorship/Pocket Full of Rocks), will be available as a physical CD/DVD, a digital album and a digital deluxe album with bonus video content.
“With more than 500 worshipers on stage, we really wanted to capture the power of a unified worshiping army, shattering the darkness with praise,” says Neale of the project. “Having our good friends Michael and Paul join us in writing and leading for this project was a true gift… our prayer is that Songs of the People will be a resource for worshipers around the world to bring their offering to the King.”
According to Neale, twelve different writers came together to craft the tracks for Songs of the People so that the album reflects the move of God within the Prestonwood community, which is one of the largest Southern Baptist congregations in the world.
“I could not be more excited about the songs rising from the hearts of the worshipers at Prestonwood,” says Neale, whose own songs have been recorded by artists including Smith, Natalie Grant, Anthony Evans, Jr. and Phillips, Craig & Dean. “Our people have taken these songs in and are lifting them loudly to the Savior every week.”
“God’s Spirit is moving among us with new songs of adoration and consecration,” adds Dr. Jack Graham, Prestonwood’s Pastor. “They are joyous new songs of praise and gratitude… Christ-exalting and life-changing words and melodies… truly the songs of the people.”
“The Word of God and testimony of Jesus is alive among us,” he continues. “Revival is here. Many are coming to salvation and deliverance.”
Some of the moving testimonies from the Prestonwood congregation are featured alongside the live concert footage on the Songs of the People DVD. Worship resources, including chord charts, for the new songs will be available at WeAreWorship.com and a songbook will be available through Bentwood-Benson.
Prestonwood will celebrate the release of Songs of the People beginning Thursday, September 22 as the church hosts “An Evening With Beth Moore,” sharing new songs throughout the night. Michael Neale will also share the songs on the road as he joins Paul Baloche for “LeadWorship” workshops and special nights of worship in Pennsylvania (Sept. 30-Oct 1) and California (Nov. 11-12). In addition, Dr. Graham and the Prestonwood ministers will share a “Songs of the People” sermon series based on the Psalms throughout the fall.
The complete tracklist for Songs of the People, including featured vocalists, is:
1. Songs Of The People (Michael Neale & Paul Baloche)
2. Your Love Is Our Favorite Song (Michael Neale)
3. Still My Soul Sings (Michael Neale)

The political enlightenment of the West articulated ideals that had no substantial counterpart in the spiritual traditions of Asia according to this event’s featured speaker, Akeel Bilgrami, a leading philosopher and political and cultural commentator. Yet Gandhi, appealing precisely to those traditions, managed to construct a radical political philosophy. In what ways was Gandhi modern despite his explicit opposition to modernity? Is Gandhi relevant to our own time and politics? Dr. Bilgrami presents Gandhi's political philosophy to explore these questions and other contemporary concerns of religion, politics and culture.

I constructed a MRTG/Routers2 configuration template for the Cisco ASA firewall which consists the OIDs (graphs) for the interfaces, CPU, memory, VPNs, connections, ping times, and traceroute hop counts. With only four search-and-replace changes as well as a few further specifications, the whole SNMP monitoring for that firewall is configured.
I am very interested in statistics about the usage of IPv6 on Internet routers and firewalls. The problem is, that most routers/firewalls do not have unique SNMP OIDs for IPv4 and IPv6 traffic, but only the normal incoming/outgoing packet counters per interface. Therefore I am using two independent ethernet ports and cables between my outer router and my first firewall, one for IPv4-only and the other one for IPv6-only traffic. Now I have independent statistics for each protocol and can combine them in one summary graph. (Though I know that this will never be a “best practice” solution…)
Eine sehr praktische Variante, möglichst viele Sensoren übers Netzwerk abzufragen ohne dabei viel basteln zu müssen, ist die Ethernetbox von MessPC. Man kann sie zum Beispiel mit mehreren kombinierten Temperatur/Luftfeuchtigkeits-Sensoren bestücken. Die Auswertung erfolgt am besten über ein zentrales Monitoring-System.
Auf der Homepage von MessPC befindet sich zwar eine kleine Dokumentation für die Verwendung von MRTG, allerdings wird dort ein zusätzliches Skript vorgestellt, was dank der Verwendung von SNMP ja gar nicht nötig ist. Deswegen poste ich hier mein Template von einem MessPC mit zwei Kombisensoren für Temperatur/Luftfeuchtigkeit, welches für die Verwendung mit MRTG und Routers2 gemäß meiner Installation geeignet ist. Mit nur drei Suchen-und-Ersetzen Durchläufen hat man das Template angepasst.
I am always interested in capturing real values via hardware devices in order to generate the appropriate graphs with my monitoring system. Of course, the outside temperature in our city was at the pole position for such a project. Therefore I ordered a few temperature/humidity sensors from PCsensor (via eBay), plugged them via USB on my Raspberry Pi (Raspbian Linux), and queried them via SNMP from my MRTG/Routers2 monitoring server. Here is the whole story:
This post describes how to add a Linux machine to the MRTG/Routers2 monitoring server. First, the host must be able to process SNMP requests. Then, a *.cfg file for MRTG/Routers2 is created by running the “cfgmaker” tool with a host-template. Since a few values are wrong in the cfgmaker file, I also explain how to correct them. Finally, I am adding the mrtg-ping-probe lines to the configuration.
The Multi Router Traffic Grapher (MRTG) can, of course, not only monitor routers via SNMP, but any devices that support the Simple Network Management Protocol, e.g., switches. With the tool “cfgmaker” it is quite easy to add switches with many ports to the monitoring system. However, some subsequent work is needed to have a clean configuration. This blog post presents a step-by-step guide for adding a switch into MRTG/Routers2.
This post shortly explains the process of adding a Cisco router into the monitoring system “MRTG with Routers2” as I explained it here. It gives an example on how SNMP is activated on the router and how the *.cfg file for MRTG/Routers2 is created with the additional values for CPU and memory usage.
I always wanted to monitor my private network with an open source tool. Since I knew some nice statistics, e.g. from the DE-CIX (printed with RRDtool) or from the Uni-Gießen (generated with MRTG), I had the idea of installing such a system by myself. Luckily I found a book from Steve Shipway, called “Using MRTG with RRDtool and Routers2“, which actually disappointed me because it did not offer a complete installation guide but mainly further information about fine-tuning the appropriate tools.
Therefore, I want to show a complete step-by-step installation of all the needed tools in order to monitor a network with MRTG, RRDtool and Routers2. “From scratch” means that there are no prerequisite to this installation guide except a plain Linux server (in my case a Ubuntu Linux) such as presented here. Okay, let’s go: Continue reading MRTG with RRDtool and Routers2 – Installation from Scratch

The Board will conduct an informational workshop on potential regulation of medical marijuana businesses/dispensaries within the unincorporated areas of Marin County. Since 1996, seriously ill Californians have had the right to obtain and use marijuana for medical purposes if approved by a physician. A Board subcommittee of Supervisor Rice and former Supervisor Adams originally made recommendations on the potential regulations on medical marijuana dispensaries, which are illegal in Marin County; Supervisors Arnold and Connolly now serve as the Board subcommittee. Staff has researched regulatory models and the subcommittee interviewed potential medical marijuana providers. The current draft ordinance includes a limitation of one dispensary license in each of three designated zones (north, south, central/west) in Marin. Although the Board will not vote on the matter at this meeting, staff recommends that the Board provide direction to the subcommittee and staff.
The Board conducted the workshop, heard from more than 40 speakers during open time and discussed revisions to the draft ordinance with staff. See the news release about the medical marijuana ordinance workshop.
Need more info? See the staff report about the potential regulation of medical marijuana dispensaries.

N-acetylcysteine is known to impair hemostasis when used for the prevention of perioperative inflammation and ischemia-reperfusion injury.When considering noncardiac surgery, these factors and the need to weigh the risk of hemorrhage against that of thromboembolism must be analyzed on an individual patient basis.

In patients with a drug-eluting coronary stent who require surgery within 12 months of stent placement, continuing aspirin and clopidogrel in the perioperative period is also recommended.Investigators found that, among 39 patients who had been receiving dabigatran and required an urgent procedure were then given idarucizumab, 36 underwent their urgent procedure—with 33 (92%) having normal hemostasis during the event.
Dental management of patients using antithrombotic drugs: critical appraisal of existing guidelines.Substitute intravenous heparin infusion for oral anticoagulant therapy preoperatively to prevent thromboembolic complications in the perioperative period.Postoperatively, the heparin can be restarted when the surgeon agrees that it is safe, usually 6-12 hours postoperatively.The risks of stopping or reducing these medication regimens (i.e., thromboembolism, stroke, MI) far outweigh the consequences of prolonged bleeding, which can be controlled with local measures.
