What happens when you blackout for no reason?
Most unexplained blackouts are caused by syncope Many people, including doctors, assume that blackouts are due to epileptic seizures, but much more commonly they are due to syncope (pronounced sin-co-pee) – a type of blackout which is caused by a problem in the regulation of blood pressure or sometimes with the heart..
What are the causes of sudden fainting?
Fainting can be triggered by a number of factors, including:fear or other emotional trauma.severe pain.a sudden drop in blood pressure.low blood sugar due to diabetes.hyperventilation.dehydration.standing in one position for too long.standing up too quickly.More items…
Is it normal to blackout for a few seconds?
When you faint, you become unconscious for a few seconds. It is also called passing out or blacking out. The medical term for this is syncope. You may feel sick and sweaty first or pass out with no warning at all.
What happens to your brain when you blackout?
During a blackout, an intoxicated person can still function as normal. They may seem articulate because most parts of the brain are alcohol-tolerant. They can still eat, walk, hold conversations, have sex, drive, and get into fights. They just can’t record any of the memories.
Does blacking out damage your brain?
Long-term effects can occur from drinking too much regularly, but again, brain damage is not directly caused by blacking out. A person who drinks heavily for a long time, and may experience frequent blackouts as a result, is more likely to experience general memory loss even if they are not intoxicated.
How long do blackouts last?
A blackout may last from a few minutes to several days. It ends when the body absorbs the alcohol, and the brain is able to form memories again. Sleep helps end blackouts, since rest gives the body time to process the alcohol. Even one blackout can be dangerous.
Can stress cause blackouts?
Psychogenic blackouts: resulting from stress or anxiety. Psychogenic blackouts occur most often in young adults. They may be very difficult to diagnose. ‘Psychogenic’ does not mean that people are ‘putting it on’.
What causes dizziness and blackouts?
Common causes of dizziness include a migraine, medications, and alcohol. It can also be caused by a problem in the inner ear, where balance is regulated. Dizziness is often a result of vertigo as well. The most common cause of vertigo and vertigo-related dizziness is benign positional vertigo (BPV).
Can you blackout and still be awake?
A Blackout is a state of temporary amnesia which occurs during or following the consumption of alcohol (beer, wine, or hard liquor). A person experiencing a blackout is awake and functioning during the time they are having a blackout, but is unable to partially or fully recall events later, when sober.
What mental illness causes blackouts?
In cases of borderline personality disorder, blackout drinking may result when a person intends to do harm upon his or herself. Mental disorders like BPD are treatable for the most part, but drugs and alcohol must be taken out of the equation for treatment to be successful.
What is fainting a sign of?
Many different conditions can cause fainting. These include heart problems such as irregular heart beats, seizures, low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), anemia (a deficiency in healthy oxygen carrying cells), and problems with how the nervous system (the body’s system of nerves) regulates blood pressure.
Can you faint without warning?
Some people feel light-headed or dizzy before they faint. Others may have nausea, sweating, blurred vision or tunnel vision, tingling of lips or fingertips, chest pain, or palpitations. Less often, people faint suddenly, without any warning symptoms.
Can low iron cause fainting?
Anemia: Anemia is a condition that causes a lack of healthy red blood cells or hemoglobin in your blood, which carry oxygen to your organs – including your brain. The hallmark of anemia is tiredness, but it can also cause sufferers to feel faint and dizzy.
Can Vertigo be a sign of something more serious?
Although benign paroxysmal positional vertigo can be bothersome, it’s rarely serious except when it increases the chance of falling. Symptoms may include: dizziness. a sense that you or your surroundings are spinning or moving.
What is a blackout in electricity?
A blackout is the full interruption of power. A brownout occurs when power generation cannot keep up and utilities dim your lights by “throttling” back the power, temporarily reducing system voltage or total capacity to prevent overload.
Should I go to the ER after fainting?
…even if you think it’s just because you haven’t eaten all day. It might be nothing, but it could also signal a heart or circulation problem or even a stroke. “There’s no way to determine the cause on your own,” says emergency physician Dr.
Is dizziness a sign of stroke?
In a small percentage of people, dizziness can be a sign of something more serious. Dizziness could signal that a stroke is occurring. It is not easy for a doctor to know when the dizziness is serious.
What does a blackout feel like?
If you have a blackout, you lose consciousness temporarily. Before that, you might fall down, have blurred-vision, or be confused. Sometimes, people experience memory loss and describe this as a blackout – for example, after they have drunk a lot of alcohol or taken illicit drugs.

Over the past year or so, I have been searching the Bible for better understanding on issues of gender and women’s roles. This book, Is the Bible Good for Women? by Wendy Alsup is one of the latest books on the scene. Just released last month, it is a small book but in my opinion a helpful contribution to the discussion.
Overall, I greatly appreciated the author’s humility and graciousness. She approached a hot-button issue in a calm, helpful way. While she is fully convinced of her opinion, she started off by talking about the need to come to this issue with a heart willing to seek and learn. Personally, I felt she spent half the book setting up an introduction, although I do see why she chose to do.
Wendy starts off by pointing out the scarlet thread that is all throughout the Bible, both Old and New Testament. The scarlet thread that points to Jesus’ and His atoning work. She then moves into the goodness of God for women from the beginning of time at creation. I love the phrase she used a few times, “Personhood preceded womanhood.” Describing the creation of humans, she reiterates how both men and women are equally created in the image of God. Both genders are image bearers. (She also includes a great section debunking the myth that is in the church, purposefully and subconsciously, that marriage is the ultimate goal of a woman.)
Moving forward a few chapters, the author starts to get into specific “problem passages” related to the gender discussion. Her refrain is “let the Bible interpret the Bible.” In a few instances, she detailed several different interpretations before ending with her personal belief, which I appreciated. I learned some interpretations I had not heard before.
While I did not agree with all of her conclusions, the book was thought-provoking. You do leave the book seeing that yes indeed, the Bible is good for women. I did have a couple critiques, however.
In a few instances, I do believe the author unfairly represented the other side of the gender discussion. She made reference to how the other side is merely proof-texting and coming to the discussion looking for verses that support their already made up minds. This does not do justice to the discussion. While there are indeed people like that, there are also scores of people, men and women alike, who are coming humbly to the topic, searching the Scriptures with prayerful hearts, and still arriving at different conclusions.
Secondly, I found it interesting that even while the author said it is best to be careful taking outside historical context into consideration (she posits that the best historical context is that which is found in the Bible….letting the Bible interpret the Bible) and she said that people on the other side are quick to play the historical context card…she herself pulled from extra-biblical historical context in some of her arguments. Personally, I think that there can be great benefit in learning about historical context, even if some of that context comes from outside the Bible.
The final critique is actually more of just a point of confusion. There were several instances where the author referenced certain things but didn’t go into detail on how she arrived at that conclusion. One such instance was when she referenced Junias. There is much debate as to whether Junias was in fact Junias (a woman) or Junia (a man). Most translations, including the translation the author uses, render it Junia. Rather than using Junias as an example of a woman in the Bible, I wish the author had gotten into that a bit more and explained how she came to that conclusion, especially since that is a conclusion different from the translation she uses.
Overall, I appreciated the book. Again, I probably would have taken her points a bit farther, but at the end I do agree with the conclusion: yes, the Bible is good for women. “Is God then a feminist?…If feminism in its purest sense is the quest for justice and equal rights for women, then, yes, God was the first feminist. God created woman in His image and bestowed on her equal dignity with man….By a woman’s mere existence, God has bestowed on her dignity and privileges that transcend race, economic status, and physical ability.” – page 191

Note: I received this book from Blogging for Books for this review.
Hmmm, sounds like an interesting book. I have some pretty strong opinions on this topic 🙂 but I’d say that yes, God is pro-woman and did create man and woman equal, and we’ve done a very good job of skewing that ever since. I think limiting a study to what the Bible says is very, well, limiting. Historical details can provide a lot of information that helps our understanding of the Bible, as most of it is set in a time and cultures very different than our own. It’s my understanding (from various Biblical and historical reading) that how the Bible treats women, and how Jesus treated women, is actually much better than how women were historically treated at the time. 🙂 Thanks for your review! If you’re interested in this topic, I’d also recommend The Privilege of Being a Woman by Alice von Hildebrand. It’s a very small book, so it’s a quick read, but there’s a lot in it. 🙂
I completely agree about historical details! Knowing more of what was going on in that time and culture can shed so much light on things. This book definitely leaned complementarian, although I do think that she pushed the envelope toward a more middle ground. From my study so far I am definitely leaning more egalitarian and in general realizing social justice is a much bigger deal to God than a lot of conservative Christians think. I will definitely check out that book you recommended. I am trying to read things on all sides of the spectrum as I am searching this issue out!

Directed by Nora Twomey. Ireland. 2017. PG-13. 1 hour 34 minutes. Gkids. Digital.
Sat., June 23, 2018 thru Thu., June 28, 2018
Parvana is an 11-year- old girl growing up under the Taliban in Afghanistan in 2001. When her father is wrongfully arrested, Parvana cuts off her hair and dresses like a boy in order to support her family. Working alongside her friend Shauzia, Parvana discovers a new world of freedom–and danger. With undaunted courage, Parvana draws strength from the fantastical stories she invents, as she embarks on a quest to find her father and reunite her family.
“A work of striking beauty and affecting emotional heft enhanced by an Afghan-themed score by Mychael Danna & Jeff Danna, “The Breadwinner” reminds us yet again that the best of animation takes us anywhere at any time and makes us believe.” – Kenneth Turan, The Los Angeles Times
“More imaginative than “Coco,” more soulful than “Moana,” more everything than “Despicable Me 3,” Nora Twomey’s “The Breadwinner” cements Ireland’s Cartoon Saloon as an animation powerhouse worth mentioning alongside the likes of Pixar, Laika, and the great Studio Ghibli. A deeply anguished story that’s told with the same vivid style as Cartoon Saloon’s two previous features, “The Secret of Kells” and “Song of the Sea,” “The Breadwinner” triumphs with a sense of emotional sobriety that strikes far deeper than anything that passes for children’s entertainment in this part of the world — it may be aimed at (older) kids, but it’s certain to hit their parents twice as hard.” – David Ehrlich, IndieWire

Did My Ionic Air Purifier Cause Lung Damage?
Airway damage can occur immediately or slowly, depending on the individual. The most accurate way to diagnose airway damage is with a biopsy and evaluation of the airway cells. That being said, first-line treatment for asthma involves inhaled corticosteroids. This minimizes transformation of good airway cells to bad cells. Therefore early intervention is recommended in asthma to save the integrity of the airway cells.

BSBI hosts Café Scientifique 16.0 titled Exploring the Future of Food with Alternative Proteins
On Tuesday 19 September, the Berlin School of Business and Innovation proudly hosted Café Scientifique 16.0 centred around the theme, ‘The Future of Food: Alternative Proteins as a Multi-Problem Solution and a Unique Opportunity’. This engaging event featured guest speaker Jens Tuider, Chief Strategy Officer at ProVeg International.
Facilitating the insightful discussion was Flavio Andrew Santos, Lecturer and the Café Scientifique Coordinator at BSBI. Participants embarked on a journey to discover more about alternative proteins and how to address the challenges stemming from evolving dietary habits and food systems. They explored innovative approaches to overcome these challenges, discussed the profound implications for sustainability, and uncovered exciting business prospects in this emerging field.
Jens Tuider shared his valuable perspective, emphasising: “The production of high-value fruits and vegetables would provide greater opportunities for smallholders and family farmers and ProVeg International is committed to that!” He further noted, “The food system transformation can become a multi-problem solution for the environment, health, and various sectors and ProVeg is promoting these solutions with our products.”
In an era of rising global demand for sustainable food sources, alternative proteins have emerged as a catalyst for transformation. They not only provide answers to pressing environmental and healthcare challenges but also ignite a culinary revolution, creating a world brimming with healthier, compassionate, and sustainable plant-based options. Café Scientifique events stand as pillars of opportunity for BSBI students, offering them the chance to engage with industry luminaries, express their perspectives, challenge their preconceptions, and gain invaluable insights into the inner workings of global enterprises.

Cilantro -- Coriandrum sativum, also known as coriander or Chinese parsley -- is an herb in the carrot and parsley family with a wide native range that includes parts of Europe, Africa and Asia. All parts of the plant are edible; however, the leaves, usually referred to as cilantro, and seeds, known as the spice coriander, are used most often. Among cilantro's purported benefits is its ability to lower cholesterol levels.
Cilantro may lower cholesterol in diabetics, according to an animal study published in the July 2012 "Journal of Food Science." Cilantro supplementation decreased levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, the bad form of cholesterol, and raised levels of high-density lipoprotein, or HDL, the good form of cholesterol. Antioxidants in cilantro inhibited lipid oxidation -- damaging effects due to accumulated toxins and waste products -- and promoted increased activity of antioxidant enzymes in the liver. Cilantro also exerted significant blood-sugar lowering effects, which can help reduce triglyceride levels. Researchers concluded that cilantro offers potential as a natural means for preventing and treating diabetes.
Cilantro lowered cholesterol levels after a single dose in an animal study published in the September 2011 "Journal of Ethnopharmacology." In the study, doses of 20 milligrams per kilogram of body weight of cilantro seed, or coriander, extract prevented blood sugar from becoming elevated and promoted normal blood sugar levels within six hours. Cilantro extract made cells more responsive to insulin, though insulin levels did not change. In a 30-day portion of the study, both blood sugar levels and insulin levels decreased.
Cholesterol-Lowering and Brain Benefits
Your risk for Alzheimer's disease may decrease, in part, as a result of cilantro's cholesterol-lowering benefits, according to a study published in the January 2011 "Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture." In the animal study, diets supplemented with 5 to 15 percent fresh cilantro for 45 days markedly reduced cholesterol levels. Activity of an enzyme that breaks down a brain-activating neurotransmitter decreased with cilantro supplementation. Additionally, scores on memory tests improved, with greater results occurring as dosage level increased. Researchers concluded that cilantro's cholesterol-lowering benefits, along with other effects, help prevent Alzheimer's disease.
Cilantro adds a burst of fresh flavor as a garnish, in salsas, sprinkled on salads or stirred into soups. You can be creative and add it to omelet fillings, tuna and chicken salad, or blend it into hummus. If you have a home juicer, reserve the stems of fresh cilantro and add them to your favorite vegetable juice blend. Cilantro seed is an important ingredient in traditional Thai foods and in some curry dishes.

Sugar stocks on a streak of profits
Sugar stocks have been on the rise. Analysts are optimistic about the companies’ profits. Brazil’s sugar output decreased by 23% in late March, which resulted in a gain in global prices. At the same time, there are expectations of a rise in exports from India.
India had opened the 2020-21 October-September sugar season with an initial inventory of 10.6 million tonnes. April output is forecast to reach 29.90 million tonnes and an export to touch 6 million tonnes. Furthermore, 8-9 million tonnes of the surplus is expected.
This year, shares of one of the fastest-growing sugar businesses in India, Dalmia Bharat Sugar & Industries, have soared 100%. Meanwhile, Triveni Engineering & Industries shares have gained 92%. Balrampur Chini Mills has hiked by 77%. Also, Dhampur Sugar Mills, DCM Shriram Industries, Bannari Amman Sugars, and Bajaj Hindustan Sugar have made notable improvements.
In a weak market, the sugar industry rallied by around 15-20%.
Indian Sensex started with gains but erased profits soon
Domestic indices had opened higher on Tuesday as investors witnessed a decrease in the number of Covid-19 infections. However, they erased gains soon to trade flat since risks remain high.
So far, the S&P BSE Sensex reached its high of 48,996.53 and a low of 48,521.85. As for Nifty, it has moved between 14,580.15 and 14,723.40.
Manish Hathiramani, proprietary index trader and technical analyst, Deen Dayal Investments, stated that Nifty remains unsure of its direction. Strong support lies at 14,400, which it can not break, and solid resistance level is at 14,700, which it is unable to get past convincingly.
The market is expected to remain resilient, supported by the positive news on the coronavirus pandemic. Based on the latest data, covid-19 infections have dropped steadily in 13 states, including Maharashtra.
This can further support the trade. Quarter 4 results continue to be good across sectors.

Week of gestation: 40 weeks
Equals to month: end of 9th month
Equals to days: 275 to 280 days of gestation
At the 40th week of pregnancy, the baby's development is complete and he is ready to be born. All organs are fully formed, the heart beats approximately 120 to 160 times per minute, and labor can begin at any time.
During this week, the woman may continue to experience symptoms of excessive tiredness and swelling in the hands or feet. In addition, the woman should be aware of the signs of labor, such as rupture of the amniotic sac, regular contractions that increase in intensity and do not improve with body movement, and the presence of vaginal discharge, called a mucous plug.
Up to the 40th week and 6 days, the birth of the baby is considered a full-term delivery. However, it is possible for the baby to be born until the 41st week and 6 days, being called late term, or until 42 weeks or more, being considered post-term.
At the 40th week of pregnancy, the baby's development is complete, all organs are fully formed, the heart beats approximately 120 to 160 times per minute, and the baby is ready to be born.
The baby's skin is smooth, with folds of fat on the legs and arms and there may still be some vernix. The baby may have a lot of hair or very little hair, but it is likely that some will fall out in the first few months after birth.
Muscles and joints are strong and baby reacts to sound and movement, being able to recognize familiar sounds, especially mom and dad's voice.
The nervous system is completely ready and mature enough for the baby to survive outside the womb, but brain cells will continue to multiply for the first few years of the child's life.
The respiratory system is mature and once the umbilical cord is cut, the baby can start breathing on its own.
Baby size and weight
The size of a baby at 40 weeks gestation is about 51.2 centimeters measured from head to toe, and about 36.3 centimeters from head to butt, equivalent to the size of a jackfruit. Baby weight this week is about 3.5 Kg.
Changes in a woman's body
In the 40th week of pregnancy, a woman may have symptoms of tiredness and swelling that, despite being more apparent in the legs and feet, can affect the whole body.
The baby is likely to be born, and the woman should be aware of the signs of labor such as regular contractions every 5 to 10 minutes, which increase in intensity over time, or vaginal discharge with little spots of blood, called a mucous plug, which has a jelly-like consistency and can vary in color from clear to reddish brown.
Another sign that a woman should be aware of is the rupture of the amniotic sac, which can be perceived by the release of a transparent or light yellow and odorless liquid through the vagina, which may come out in small amounts as a drip or come out in large quantities and constantly. Check out other signs of labor.
However, if labor does not start spontaneously until 41 weeks, it is possible that the obstetrician opts for induction of labor, which consists of administering oxytocin into the mother's bloodstream, in the hospital, to stimulate contractions uterus, or perform a cesarean section. See when cesarean is indicated.
In some cases, it is possible for the pregnancy to last up to 42 weeks.
Care during the 40th week
At the 40th week of pregnancy, some precautions are important to help alleviate the discomforts that may arise, such as:
- Excessive tiredness: Resting during the day, if possible, going to bed a little earlier at night, can help reduce fatigue and increase mood;
- Swelling in the legs or feet: not standing too long, and placing your feet higher than your body, supporting your feet when you need to sit, help improve blood circulation in the legs and helps relieve swelling in the legs or feet. However, if the swelling doesn't improve, starts suddenly, or has swelling in your hands and face, you should seek medical help right away, as it could be a sign of preeclampsia. Learn more about preeclampsia and how it is treated;
- Vaginal discharge (mucous plug): losing the mucus plug this week of pregnancy can be a sign that the body is getting ready for labor, and you should if always be communicated. In case the bleeding is intense, the woman presents frequent and regular contractions, rupture of the amniotic sac, or decrease or absence of fetal movements, immediately go to the nearest hospital or maternity ward;
- Contractions: you should inform the obstetrician immediately when contractions start and go to the maternity or hospital. In addition, it is important to breathe slowly and deeply, to better oxygenate the body, to keep moving, because in addition to stimulating dilation, it also relieves pain, especially in standing positions, as they help the baby to descend through the birth canal.;
- Breakage of water: you should report it to the obstetrician immediately and go to the hospital or maternity hospital to get assistance from he alth professionals. When the water breaks, the uterine contractions that mark the beginning of labor are expected to appear in a short time, usually occurring about 5 hours after the water breaks. However, contractions can take up to 48 hours to appear, however, it is advisable to go to the maternity ward after 6 hours of the rupture of the water because this rupture allows microorganisms to enter the uterus, increasing the risk of infections in the woman and the baby.
During the entire pregnancy, it is important to follow medical recommendations, perform prenatal consultations, and continue taking folic acid or supplements and do physical activities recommended by the obstetrician.
In addition, you should drink at least 8 glasses of water a day and have a nutritious and balanced diet, including fresh fruits and vegetables, to ensure the supply of essential nutrients for the baby and help control weight gain during pregnancy. See how to eat during pregnancy.
At the 40th week of pregnancy, the woman should have another prenatal visit so that the obstetrician can assess the woman's blood pressure, weight, uterus height, baby's position, heartbeat and movements of the fetus, for example.
In case the woman has gone into labor, the doctor can do the stress test during the contraction, to evaluate the baby's heartbeat while a contraction is happening and to evaluate the he alth of the placenta, since during a contraction the placenta must be able to maintain the correct blood flow, keeping the baby's heart rhythm.Understand better what stress testing is and how it is done.

Social Isolation, Chronic Inflammation, and Adult Mortality
Yang Yang, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Martha McClintock, University of Chicago
Michael Kozloski, University of Chicago
Health and survival benefits of social embeddedness have been widely documented across social species, but the underlying biophysiological mechanisms have yet to be fully elucidated. This study assessed the process through which social isolation increases the risk of all-cause and chronic disease mortality through inflammatory responses. Using the 18-year mortality follow-up data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (1988–2006), we conducted survival analyses and found evidence that supports the mediation role of inflammation in the social isolation-mortality link. We also found sex and age differences in this relationship. The mortality effects of social isolation are greater for older males and can be attributed in part to their heightened inflammatory responses to social isolation. A high risk fibrinogen level may be particularly important in such responses. Our findings are similar for circulatory disease mortality in older adults and for cancer mortality in middle-aged males.

Coheed and Cambria has always been a fairly odd band, with a seeming identity crisis. The band’s early work was very pop oriented, including catchy hooks and short, to the point songs, followed by a heavier phase, with heavier guitars, solos, lengthier arrangements and a larger sound. Their last release “The Black Rainbow” saw a shift into more electronic influences and ambient production.
With their sixth album, “The Afterman: Ascension”, Coheed and Cambria showcase the most progressive album of their career.
Consisting of nine tracks, the album is underwhelming in length, at only 39 minutes. However, this is only part one of a two part album project, the second of which will come out in a few months. The song arrangements and musicianship is more reminiscent of old school, 70’s prog, in the vein of King Crimson with less distorted guitars.
The addition of new bassist Zach Cooper is noticeable and returning drummer Josh Eppard proves to be a dependable and solid backbone for the band.
“Subtraction” and “Mothers of Men” are the two standout tracks on “The Afterman: Ascension”. Usually, vocalist Claudio Sanchez delivers an annoying performance on the mic, yet this time around his voice is much more tolerable and less cringe worthy, as are the lyrics.


text: Hello, and welcome to my blog! My name is Arielle. I love Jesus, my husband, and our four kids.

Automatic circuits work on the philosophy that some external/automatic switch turns power on and off to a circuit. This can be a photocell or timeclock that controls a set of relays or contactors which allow or disallow current to flow in a circuit.
For those of us that are more visual learners, I've made this show one that can be followed visually. In this episode I draw out on the white-board how switch loops work, and how to wire them.
This episode goes further in depth on how 3-way and 4-way switches work. This is for those visual learners out there that need the logic drawn out so they can see the whole circuit in front of them.

CO2 price for coal-to-gas switch exceeds 2020 forecasts
The carbon price needed to make natural gas-fired electricity generation as profitable as coal-fired generation is 10 times higher than the current and more than four times the price the European Commission forecast for 2020, ICIS analysis shows.
Until profit margins for gas-fired electricity increase, CO2-intensive coal burn – which requires producers to buy more EU allowances (EUAs) – will remain attractive to utilities able to choose which type of plant to switch on.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said last week that boosting the carbon price by back-loading the sale of some of the scheduled supply would re-order where power plants rank in terms of competitiveness. This would improve the economic odds for modern, flexible gas-fired power stations which stand no chance against coal-fired generation at the current low carbon price, she added ( see EDCM 16 October 2013 ).
But ICIS calculations based on Wednesday’s gas, coal, power and CO2 closing prices* show the carbon price would need to be above €48/tonne of CO2 equivalent (tCO2e) to make the switch worthwhile in Germany.
Other estimates vary from €40/tCO2e (consultancy Wood Mackenzie) to €35/tCO2e (energy consultancy Nomisma) and €15-20/tCO2e (agency Fitch Ratings).
All estimates point to a carbon price that the commission does not expect for at least the next 17 years. The commission forecasts EUAs to reach €10/tCO2e by 2020, €14/tCO2e by 2025 and €35/tCO2e only in 2030 ( see EDCM 9 October 2013 ).
There is a range of 2020 price estimates by analysts. Nomisma estimates €13/tCO2e, while ICIS analytics firm Tschach Solutions predicts €8/tCO2e, €9/tCO2e and €24/tCO2e, according to three different scenarios.
This means that even back-loading is not likely to lift carbon prices enough, assuming no change in gas and coal prices. “Even with broad support, the plan is not likely to lift the permit price from its current level... to the €15-20/tCO2e that we believe would be necessary to make natural gas-fired plants competitive with coal-fired plants at current fuel prices,” Fitch said in July after the European Parliament passed back-loading.
Dark spreads premium increasing
The profitability of CO2-intensive coal-fired generation over gas has increased in the last two years on the back of a decline in coal and carbon prices. According to ICIS data, the benchmark coal front year averaged $124/tonne in 2011 while only $90/tonne in 2013 so far. The benchmark carbon front year averaged at €4.5/tCO2e in the year to date, versus €13/tCO2e in 2011.
“Gas-fired plants, which generate roughly 50% less CO2 than coal-fired, have much weaker utilisation rates and cash flows, partly due to high gas prices. Some were temporarily shut down or even decommissioned due to losses,” Fitch Ratings said earlier this year.
Norwegian utility Statkraft, for instance, closed its 510MW Robert Frank natural-gas-fired electricity plant in Germany due to poor profit margins for gas-fired generation ( see sister publication EDEM 8 May 2013 ).
“Producers such as RWE and PGE are better placed in the short term because of their more profitable coal- and lignite-fuelled fleets, while those more reliant on gas, such as E.ON, are more exposed to weaker cash flows,” the agency said.
As the premium of profit margins for coal-fired over gas-fired generators increasingly grew in the year to date, the carbon price needed to incentivise the switch has increased in the year to date, the analysis also shows, rising from €44/tCO2e to €48/tCO2e.
“The more coal is convenient compared to gas, the higher the necessary CO2 price is,” said Nomisma’s carbon analyst Matteo Mazzoni. Silvia Molteni
*For the calculation ICIS used the German front month dirty spark and dark spreads – calculated with a 49.13% efficiency for gas and a 35% efficiency for coal; a carbon utilisation factor of 0.973 for coal plants and of 0.3746 for a gas plant.

MADISON – With news today that the state surplus is estimated to grow to an unprecedented $7.1 billion in the next biennium, CJ Szafir, CEO of IRG Action, issued the following statement:
“The state continues taking in way more than it needs from taxpayers. It’s time to reset how the state taxes and spends, and that starts with transformational income tax reform such as a flat tax or income tax elimination to make sure taxpayers aren’t overtaxed going forward. Families and small businesses would love to have that $7.1 billion back in their pockets.
“It’s also time, with such a surplus, to ensure we have equality in the state between district and charter and private schools. All kids, regardless of where they go to school, should receive equal funding treatment from the state.”

The Xbox Game Pass will be added to Samsung TVs
Microsoft has announced that it will now be possible to play Xbox video games directly from Samsung smart TVs.
Microsoft has slowly made its way as one of the top streaming video game platforms with its Xbox Game Pass which allows gamers to play across a variety of systems, including consoles, desktop computers and any internet-linked devices via the cloud.
According to Phil Spencer, Microsoft Gaming’s chief, the next step of the company is bringing the Xbox Game Pass to smart TVs. An app will even be launched at the end of June across the latest Samsung televisions. Over 100 games will be accessible including “Hades”, “Forza Horizon 5” and “Fortnite”.


The Lakewood Police Department was formed in 2004 and is one of the largest police departments in Washington State. More than 100 paid officers comprise the department along with other specialized units. These include community service, court compliance, and animal control officers. The Lakewood Police Department also receives help from civilian support staff.
Lakewood Police Units
Several units comprise the Lakewood Patrol Specialty Divison. They all work together to ensure public safety beyond patrol response. This includes Patrol, Criminal Investigations, K9 Unit, Marine Unit, and Traffic Unit.
The patrol division is the uniformed division of the police department. Uniformed officers are responsible for:
- Emergency calls
- Calls for service
- Conducting investigations
- Traffic enforcement
- Proactive crime-fighting and community problem solving
Criminal Investigations is a plainclothes unit that oversees:
- Forensic Services
- Major Crimes
- Property Crimes/Robbery
- Special Assault
- Special Operations
Our K9 unit consists of three teams that are also part of the Pierce County Metro K9 Team. Our police dogs are trained specifically for patrol work and drug detection. They are responsible for:
- Tracking wanted suspects
- Conducting building searches
- Detection and seizure of illegal contraband
- Working with Criminal Investigations Special Operations Unit
Our marine unit provides patrol and rescue and recovery services on our numerous lakes. The unit is also a member of the Metro Dive Team, which responds to calls across Pierce County.
This unit focuses on public safety on our roadways with an emphasis on impaired driving and enforces our school zone speed limits. Our officers are part of the regional Pierce County DUI Task Force and the Metro Collision Response Team.
Community Safety Resource Team (CSRT)
The Community Safety Resource Team solves problems in Lakewood’s six neighborhood districts. This can include criminal activity, nuisance properties, dangerous buildings, and illegal business practices. The CSRT is made up of code enforcement and community service officers who work to improve the quality of life in Lakewood.
Led by a police lieutenant, the Community Safety Resource Team has ties with other government departments. These include Community Economic Development and the City Attorney’s Office.
The Community Safety Resource Team aims to promote safety, growth, and development in the Lakewood Community. This is done through customer service, problem-solving, and opening access to community resources. By partnering with the community, the CSRT will use available resources to identify problems and reach a reasonable, timely solution.
The Community Safety Resource Team supports City Council’s goals by:
- Encouraging development in long-neglected parts of the city;
- Increasing public safety;
- Enhancing outreach to the community.
Contact the Community Safety Resource Team:
Sgt. Ken Devaney
- Property Maintenance
- Vehicles on private property
- Business license enforcement
Community Service Officers
Community Service Officers work with other city departments to solve issues within the community. They build relationships with Lakewood residents, landlords, and business owners to identify problems. From there, they conduct research to provide the Community Safety Resource Team with the information they need to solve problems.
Community Service Officers provide support for many city-sponsored events. They also address parking problems, junk vehicles, motor homes, and boats parked in the street.
Code Enforcement Officers
Lakewood’s Code Enforcement Officers deal with laws surrounding buildings and neighborhoods. Specifically, they focus on the health, safety, and appearance of buildings and neighborhoods.
Code Enforcement Officers investigate all complaints. They may also open investigations surrounding compliance with Lakewood Municipal Code.
If you’d like to file a coding complaint, you can do so at City Hall or using MyLakewood311. You may also use the online submission page.
You can file coding complaints by:
Neighborhood Police Officers
Neighborhood Police Officers improve the quality of life in Lakewood neighborhoods. They are different than patrol officers and are not dispatched to 911 calls. Instead, they reduce crime by maintaining relationships with members of the community. Neighborhood Police Officers have the flexibility to focus on long-term problems. This develops the old-fashioned “cop on the beat” familiarity with residents.
These officers volunteer to take on this role and are highly skilled, trained, and motivated. They work closely with the Community Safety Response Team along with other agencies. Local agencies include the Gang Unit, Special Operations Unit, and the Fire Martial. Neighborhood Police Officers also work with State Departments including Corrections, the Liquor and Cannabis Board, and the Department of Health.
Behavioral Health Contact Team
The Behavioral Health Contact Team was formed in 2015 by City Council. Lakewood was the first city in Washington to partner a police officer with a dedicated mental health professional.
This team is a collaborative effort between Lakewood Police and Greater Lakes Mental Health Care. The duo responds to calls involving individuals experiencing mental health complications. Often these individuals rely on police interventions.
The Behavioral Health Contact Team works to provide people with proper help instead of jail or emergency rooms. Their work helps people with mental and medical care, along with finding housing and solutions to personal needs.

Civilian JTF; the transformational protest in Borno State tried to cover that Nigeria as giant African nation experienced security problems and overcome all and therefore Bokoharam crises is not exceptional. Bokoharam sect is an idealistic fanatical group confirming Marxian position that religion is heart of the heartless sigh of the oppressed creature and opium of the people. Corruption fueled Bokoharam insurgency by influencing already existing marginalized youth created by corrupt governance over the years in the state. The CJTF is a reaction to the unwelcomed boasting and undue projection for illusionist realization of utopia shariah state Shakau. The body must be cautious in the operation to avoid killing of lawful ones. That the CJTF is a dangerous time bomb if not automatically recruited as security agents and monitored. There must be death penalty for corruption. Practice of religion must be purely private and all forms of coercion must be treated as terrorism.

Chairman Thomas Sheldon asked that language protecting the town be included in the affordable housing trust's bylaws.
WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass. — The Selectmen on Monday expressed strong support for plans to create an affordable housing trust but asked the Affordable Housing Committee to contemplate some limitations on its powers.
The bylaws as drafted would not require the trustees to seek approval from any other board.
"My concern is these five individuals could make some very profound decisions that could affect the town," said Selectman David Rempell. "My fear is only that if something is done that is not as well vetted as it should be, it would be a calamity to the town."
But Selectman Tom Costley disagreed, saying "I don't think you should appoint people and have them come back for permission for what you told them to do."
In a letter to the Selectmen, the Affordable Housing Committee recommended keeping the board of trustees at the state minimum of five to be appointed by the Selectmen and chosen for expertise in real estate law and development, finance and community housing needs. One member would be a serving selectman; all would have to be Williamstown residents.
But Selectmen queried the reseasoning behind the independence of the board in terms of making decisions and without limits to spending that have been placed on similar boards in the state.
"We felt those were restrictions that would inhibit the purpose of the trust," said Affordable Housing Committee Chairwoman Catherine Yamamoto. "The feeling of the committee is that the while the powers seem broad, the objectives of the [trustees] are so proscribed that the powers are restricted. ... They're there to create affordable housing, nothing else."
The committee would still function, filling in areas that an expanded trustee board or other advisory board might cover, she said, and the new trust would be able to act quickly and flexibily to better pursue the goals laid out in the town's master plan.
Affordable Housing Committee Chairwoman Catherine Yamamoto said her board did not limit the power of the proposed trust to ensure it could fulfill its mission.
But Chairman Thomas Sheldon expressed concern that there would be instances when two people, one of whom may not be the appointed selectman, might make a "momentous decision." He also asked that the committee consider language suggested by town counsel that would limit debt, require a two-thirds vote in some instances and hold the town harmless for any debt or agreement the trust enters into.
"I don't raise these as perfect additions to the proposal before us," said Sheldon. "But it does signify the ability to build in some safeguards, in one way or another, if we're not uniformly content in terms of just letting it run in what terms the statute provides."
Resident Joan Burns told the board she was concerned over eminent domain and other powers the trust might have.
"It's dangerous for the town to abrogate powers and turn them over to an independent committee," she said. "I hope you look into the more dangerous things."
Yamamoto said she would bring the suggested language and other concerns back to her board.
In other business:
► The board appointed Beth Phelps to a three-year term on the Agricultural Commission and Jeff Kennedy as an associate member to the Berkshire Public Health Alliance.
► Approved permits for to Pine Cobble School for a one-day all-alcoholic beverage license on May 5 from 6:30 to 11:30 for the Founders' Day 75th anniversary.
► Renewed Taconic Golf Club Inc. seaonal all-alcholic, background music and common victualler licenses.
► Adopted guidelines for penalties for pouring establishments violating alcohol laws.

Digital Culture & AudioVisual Challenges
Interdisciplinary Creativity in Arts and Technology
Hybrid - Corfu/Online, May 13-14, 2022
Digitization and archival of personal information, such as artefacts, objects of personal value and memoirs, has been gaining ground over the past years. The first reason for this has to do with the abundance of digital, mostly web-based tools, which give users the chance to create collections easily and quickly, hosting them in online services. Omeka (Hardesty, 2014) is a prime example of such a tool, which acts like a Content Management System (CMS), allowing users to concentrate on data modelling (Cole 2002) and description, rather than on the computational and development issues of accessing and presenting the archived information. Besides this, research and good practices on metadata have matured in recent years, providing standardized descriptions for the majority of digital or tangible object types to be preserved (Woodley, 2016). A major aspect of this improvement has been the methodology studied in the context of major Europe-wide projects, such as Europeana (Valtysson, 2012) and Dariah (Constantopoulos et al., 2008); researchers and stakeholders involved in these projects have proposed, used, and tested representations and services which allow for accessing data in diverse, yet isolated archives in a uniform and transparent manner.
In this work, we describe the design methodology and implementation of a publicly available personal archive, using the Omeka tool. This implementation takes advantage of standardized metadata schemata, such as those initiated by the Dublin Core initiative (Weibel et al., 1998), extended to include relevant information on the particular type of objects in this example collection, i.e., teen and young adult literature. A standardized schema has a number of advantages, mainly in terms of interoperability and data aggregation; this allows archival researchers to present the information contained in their archives without the need to build specialized programming interfaces for access and presentation, while content aggregators, such as Europeana, can retrieve information from different archives without the need to adapt their queries along adapting or diverse schemata. In terms of interest as a preservation activity, personal archiving may be important to save one’s memories, which refer mostly to people and occasions associated with a tangible object, which doesn’t have necessarily monetary value. In addition to this, personal archives may be extended with ratings and opinions by other users, resulting in crowdsourced knowledge and beliefs; websites such as Goodreads or IMDB are prime examples of crowdsourced opinions, providing access to non-expert reviews on books and movies, respectively. The fact that these reviews come from non-experts who are not affiliated with publishers or movie studios may be valuable in terms of objectivity. In this paper, we document the theme selection process, followed by the identification of the collection development policy and the relevant and descriptive metadata schemes to be used in the process. Next, we discuss how the Dublin Core scheme was extended and how quality control was enforced to ensure proper presentation and interoperability.

|Título:||Biological activities of extracts of plants grown in Portugal|
Miguel, Maria Graça
|Resumo:||The antioxidant properties of herbs and spices are important in the prevention of several diseases. Extracts from Foeniculum vulgare (Apiaceae), Dittrichia viscosa (Asteraceae), Origanum vulgare, Salvia officinalis, Thymbra capitata, Thymus camphoratus, Thymus carnosus and Thymus mastichina (Lamiaceae) were investigated for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Some extracts were studied for the first time. Deodorized-, organic- and water-solvent extracts of dried and ground plant material were prepared using solvents of different polarity. The antioxidant activity was assessed by the diphenylpycrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical method and scavenging of the superoxide anion radicals through an enzymatic hypoxanthine/xanthine oxidase system. The anti-inflammatory activity was evaluated by inhibition of 5-lipoxygenase. Total phenolic content was quantified by the Folin-Ciocalteu method. S. officinalis extracts were the best in scavenging DPPH radicals and superoxide anion radicals. O. vulgare and T. mastichina extracts were also effective as DPPH and superoxide scavengers, respectively. Deodorized chloroformic extracts from T. mastichina, T. camphoratus, T. carnosus, O. vulgare, F. vulgare and S. officinalis exhibited high ability for inhibiting lipoxygenase. Only in very few cases, a weak-moderate positive correlation was detected between the total phenol content and antioxidant activity. For 5-lipoxygenase inhibition, a negative correlation was detected in the majority of the extracts. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.|
