Florida Defective Auto Glass Attorneys
The glass of a car plays an important role in automobile safety. Not only does it provide necessary visibility for the driver, it also provides strength and stability to the vehicle itself. The windshield and other windows are protective barriers for the driver and passengers, as well as reinforcement for the roof of the vehicle.
If the glass in an automobile is defective or if it is not installed correctly, it can shatter or pop out during a collision, compromising the structural integrity and safety of the vehicle. Unfortunately, when this occurs, drivers and passengers can be very seriously injured.
Types of Auto Glass Defects
A variety of defects in auto glass itself and in its installation can put drivers and their passengers at risk of injury. The following are a few of the most common auto glass issues:
Low-quality glass can shatter easily upon impact, leaving drivers and passengers vulnerable to being ejected from a vehicle and seriously injured. In contrast, laminated glass is designed to resist shattering and thereby potentially prevent serious injuries in a bad accident.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) now requires strong, laminated windshields to help keep occupants safer inside a car, especially in case of a rollover. However, older cars may still have unsafe glass installed.
In addition, some automobile manufacturers continue to use less effective products in side windows and sunroofs. This lower quality glass can shatter during collisions, injuring drivers and passengers and leaving them susceptible to head injuries and partial or complete ejection from the vehicle.
Substandard Laminated Glass
Laminated glass is designed to remain in one piece during impact, perhaps cracking but not shattering. This is because it is created by bonding multiple layers of glass together with a resin called polyvinyl butyral (PVB) that helps keep the glass from breaking apart easily.
Before shattering, laminated glass will bend and flex. However, if the materials or manufacturing process is substandard, defective auto glass may result. Instead of bending and flexing during a collision, this substandard, unsafe glass could break apart and leave automobile occupants vulnerable to serious injuries.
Proper installation of auto glass is also important to the safety of the vehicle. Specific procedures must be followed to prepare the substrate to which the glass adheres and to seat the glass correctly.
If these procedures are not completely followed, the auto glass could pop out during a collision, potentially exposing the automobile’s occupants to very serious injury. An automobile’s windshield, in particular, adds strength and stability to the vehicle’s structure that increases its safety and protects the drivers and passengers.
Common Injuries Associated with Auto Glass Defects
Injuries associated with auto glass defects can be very serious, depending on the nature of the defect and the seriousness of the accident. Lacerations are very common, but more significant injuries related to defective auto glass include:
- Spinal injuries
- Brain injuries
- Intestinal injuries
- Internal bleeding
In addition to the physical injuries listed, victims of defective auto glass may suffer severe emotional trauma, including long-lasting postsecondary traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Getting Help from a Defective Auto Glass Attorney
If you or a family member has suffered an automobile injury involving defective auto glass, it is important to identify the parties responsible for the injury. Automobile manufacturers choose and install the type of glass used in their vehicles, so if they have chosen to use inferior materials, installed defective glass, or improperly installed the auto glass, they should be held accountable for resulting injuries.
Working with a Florida personal injury attorney with successful experience in product liability and auto glass cases is crucial in helping you obtain compensation for your physical and emotional suffering. In addition to obtaining compensatory damages, it may be possible to get punitive damages, which hold the responsible party accountable and discourage future negligence.

Sometimes being rich and famous isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be.
Just ask Ramona Singer.
Well now, the Pinot Grigio-lover is opening up in her memoir Life on the Ramona Coaster about the end of her marriage.
The 58-year-old credits her success as a celebrity as to why her relationship began to crumble.
“It was my success as a celebrity reality star and notoriety that bothered him├óΓé¼┬ª If someone said, ‘Can I take a photo with Ramona?’ or interrupted our conversation at dinner, he would get upset.”‘
Rather than address these concerns, Mr. Singer bottled up his emotions.
“He could have jumped in but he continued to be passive.”
As the media would soon discover, Mario’s dissatisfaction with the New York-native’s fame would soon trigger his infidelity.
The blonde reasons:
“The affair was really a symptom of unhappiness.”
However, cheating should never be excused.
“It’s still betrayal.”
We applaud Ramona for opening up about such a difficult time in her life, and we hope she will be able to move on from this experience.

On the day I read through Valerie Weaver-Zercher’s review of books about the wedding industry, I encountered a young woman at the church reception desk who was breathlessly explaining that she had just secured the Cigar Bar at Ditka’s Restaurant, next door to the church, for her wedding rehearsal party.
The church has traditionally considered Advent a penitential season, a
time for changing one’s mind and re-turning to God. It’s a time for
preparing the way of the Lord, the One who will come to consummate all
things in the rule of God.
The two aspirants to the governor’s mansion in my state ran a race that
often sounded more like an old-fashioned prayer meeting than a
political campaign. Both seem convinced that the key to victory lay in
demonstrating that one was more Christian than the other.
Reading Jeremy Begbie’s article on music in this issue reminded me of one of the biggest mistakes I ever made. I took music theory in college because I knew a little bit about music and thought I could get a good grade with a minimum of effort. How difficult could music theory be? It turned out that I knew a lot less about music than I thought I did.
During almost 20 years of pastoral ministry I have served three
different congregations that experienced such long-term decline and
loss that it seemed as if the “end of the world” was upon us: they had
lost recognition in the community, members, ministries and their
passion for mission. But the loss that was talked about most often was
the loss of financial resources.
Louisville Presbyterian Seminary theology professor Shannon Craigo-Snell and student David Wigger were arrested last month during a protest rally in Ferguson, Missouri. Wigger said his faith fuels his passion for social justice. He said he went to the Moral Monday rally that protested the death of 18-year-old Michael Brown in order to support the leaders in the movement and the local youth who are trying to get justice for the unarmed youth shot by a Ferguson policeman back in August. At a rally with big-name speakers like Cornel West and Jim Wallis, youth leaders stood up and demanded to be heard (WFPL, October 17).

NEW HAVEN, Conn. - Yale cross country star Lindsay Donaldson continues to garner accolades as the season nears its end. She was named to the cross country all-region team by the U.S. Track and Field Cross Country Coaches Association for coming in 2nd (20:45.9) last weekend at the NCAA Northeast Regional Meet.
Donaldson placed 41st last year at the NCAA Cross Country Championship at the LaVern Gibson Championship Course at Indiana State's Wabash Valley Family Sports Center with a time of 20:35.4. She will be looking to improve on this mark when she travels back to Indiana next weekend for the NCAA Championship.

April, 1970. Late at night, a mysterious Caucasian emerges from the rain forest north of Saigon. Unexpectedly he encounters a US Army outpost and is killed. Who was he, and why was he alone deep in the jungle? Military investigator George Tanner must find the answers soon––and survive.
The Man Who Walked Out of the Jungle by Jeff Wallace is for those who love a good novel about war. Instantly, I was taken into a suspenseful tale with a lingering question that caught my curiosity. My intrigued only peaked further as the pages held my attention. The pacing was a bit lagging but other than that, it was good. The Man Who Walked Out of the Jungle by Jeff Wallace is a military thriller that feels real. Action, adventure, and danger all wrapped in one engaging tale. The plot sent me deep into the investigation of why one man was alone in the jungle. Overall, I recommend this novel written by Jeff Wallace to readers everywhere.

Group’s team of regulatory experts has identified and input relevant legislation on single-use plastic beverage containers, cups, and bags across all Canadian provinces.
Last September marked a pivotal moment for Landbell Group’s regulatory tracking services. In addition to coverage of extended producer responsibility (EPR) legislation for batteries and accumulators, electrical and electronic equipment, and packaging, the team expanded its portfolio to include comprehensive tracking of single-use plastics legislation across Europe and Africa.
Since then, the Group’s team of regulatory experts has identified and input relevant legislation on single-use plastic beverage containers, cups, and bags across all Canadian provinces.
Already established at federal level, the Single-use Plastics Prohibition Regulations (SUPPR) officially prohibit the manufacture, import, and sale of these single-use plastic products, therefore, the provinces should follow and adapt their local regulations to the federal law.
Most Canadian provinces have legislation covering plastic bags already in place, with many also implementing regulations covering beverage containers and cups.
Companies currently doing business in Canada, or considering expansion into this market, can now access this valuable information in the Knowledge Database. Find out more information here.
Stay tuned for updates as the team continues to expand its coverage to provide customers with the latest insights on this topic across other regions.


My father was 16 when the joined the Army by lying about his age. He was in Pearl City when the harbor was bombed, and hopped islands across the Pacific with his artillery unit until the war ended in victory on two fronts.
The war was waged with determination, skill, industry, sacrifice, pride and eventually the most destructive weapon ever used in war.
My generation was tasked with stopping the falling dominoes of communism. Politicians dictated strategy, technology and even targets. That war ended with the April 30, 1975, big bug out.
This past week at the National Defense University, President Obama basically declared a unilateral end to the “global war on terror.”
In a 7,000-word speech that covered reducing drone strikes, closing Gitmo and reciting a litany of terrorist attacks, Obama said:
“We cannot use force everywhere that a radical ideology takes root; and in the absence of a strategy that reduces the wellspring of extremism, a perpetual war — through drones or Special Forces or troop deployments — will prove self-defeating, and alter our country in troubling ways.
“So the next element of our strategy involves addressing the underlying grievances and conflicts that feed extremism — from North Africa to South Asia. As we’ve learned this past decade, this is a vast and complex undertaking. We must be humble in our expectation that we can quickly resolve deep-rooted problems like poverty and sectarian hatred.”
Osama bin Laden was the son of a billionaire Saudi construction magnate. Most of the 9/11 hijackers were well educated and well off.
Sectarian hatred, not Islamic hatred? He said “the United States is not at war with Islam.”
He went on to say:
“Our systematic effort to dismantle terrorist organizations must continue. But this war, like all wars, must end. That’s what history advises. That’s what our democracy demands.”
Claiming the “best analogy to the current conflict is the Cold War, which lasted more than 40 years from the Truman Doctrine through the fall of the Soviet Union,” he seemed to forget the never ending war on poverty and war on drugs. He also neglected the point that while a few Islamic terrorists have been killed they have not “fallen,” as Fort Hood, Benghazi, Boston and London attest. Meanwhile, Islamist dominoes are falling from Libya to Egypt to Syria with one despotic regime being replaced by another equally as despotic and hateful of America.
In Vietnam they called it winning the hearts and minds, but nonetheless Obama calls for:
“For what we spent in a month in Iraq at the height of the war, we could be training security forces in Libya, maintaining peace agreements between Israel and its neighbors, feeding the hungry in Yemen, building schools in Pakistan, and creating reservoirs of goodwill that marginalize extremists. That has to be part of our strategy.”
It worked so well before.
Obama seems oblivious to the potential for terrorists to use chemical weapons from Syria or nukes from Iran or North Korea.
Maybe we should just call this Obama’s big bug out. Give them all lawyers and Miranda rights and televise the trials.
On a day on which we pay homage to the veterans of past wars, perhaps we should pay heed to what they did that worked and what failed.

My love of horror started at an early age. From the moment I read Dracula in junior high school, I became fascinated with all things creepy. Maybe it's the allure of danger or the amped up shot of adrenaline. Whatever it is, I love it!
The first horror movie I saw was the original Halloween. Because of the rating, I was too young to see it in the theater, so I had to wait until it came out on television. My mom wouldn't let me watch it, so I had to be sneaky. That movie scared the bajeebees out of me! I remember wanting to look away, but I just couldn't. I had the blanket pulled up to my nose, peering over, wide-eyed.
I couldn't get enough. I was addicted. I watched every horror movie I could find. Eventually, I came up with three horror categories: "Fabulous!" "Fun/Funny/Campy" and "I want that time in my life back."
Some of the original movies I put in the Fabulous category in no particular order (and this list is by no means complete): The Shining, Scream, The Omen, Psycho, Carrie, Black Christmas, When a Stranger Calls, Halloween, No Vacancy, The Exorcist, The Silence of the Lambs, Let Me In, Misery, The Ring (Spoiler Alert! Loved the suspense right up until the goofy thing crawled out of the television, which made me laugh).
Fun/Funny/Campy movies are horror flicks that are fun to watch, but don't really scare me (my daughter says there is something wrong with me, could be...). For me, these include the low budget horror movies, campy horror, and most of the slasher movies. Some of the flicks in this category include: Zombieland (super fun!), Evil Dead 2 and 3, Stake Land, Nightmare on Elm Street series, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Sean of the Dead, An American Werewolf in London, Grindhouse, From Dusk Til Dawn, Fright Night, House on Haunted Hill, The Legend of Hell House, Dawn of the Dead, Drag Me to Hell, The Cabin in the Woods, House of Wax, and the original monster movies like Dracula, The Mummy, Frankenstein, The Blob, The Wolf Man, etc.
Bwahaha! "Yer dead and you don't even know it!" (remake line)
The "I want that time in my life back" AKA "Movies I can't unsee" are neither fabulous nor entertaining. These movies usually include all the gore with no humor or suspense and rely on cheap gimmicks to "startle" viewers, which is not the same as scary. Some movies in this category include The Hills Have Eyes (all of them, just gross), the Paranormal Activities movies (snooze fest), Bubba Ho-Tep (great premise, but even the great Bruce Campbell couldn't save this stinker), Shock Wave (a movie that almost turned me off low budget horror movies, with genetically altered underwater WWII German soldiers we fondly named Gemermen), Christine (I know, John Carpenter. I just couldn't get into a killer car), Leprechaun, the Chucky movies, and I could go on...
I want those 89 minutes of my life back.
Let me know your horror story! What are your favorite horror movies or scenes?

We’re also working to create a landscape that links water security to food security, with a system of abstraction that gives farmers and growers a fair share of water, particularly during times of drought.
And we're promoting our industry’s strong voluntary record in recent years on Nitrate Vulnerable Zones and the control of pesticides around water. Select a specialism below or scroll down for news from across the areas.

"I don’t ever remember wanting to be a photographer. I went to fashion college but couldn’t really sew so ended up studying fashion photography. I worked hard but hated everybody so rarely went to school, choosing instead to hang out in London’s Indie clubs with all the other weirdos. My boyfriend at the time was in a band so I spent a lot of time photographing them at various shows in shit-hole towns around the UK. I was catastrophically shy so I reckon the camera was a good thing for me to hide behind. After the demise of said relationship and his meteoric rise to fame I stopped taking photographs. Devoid of inspiration. I plonked the photos in boxes and they sat idle on various shelves in the many flats and houses I drifted between. For over a decade. On account of a bunch of stuff happening I recently decided to revisit these photos. There’s an innocence and naiveté in the images that precedes the Internet. No filters, no edits, no air-brushing apps. Every image is exactly how it came out the camera, when I could afford to have it developed. I’m currently studying towards a BA in Fine Arts in one of those aforementioned shit-hole towns in the UK. My practice looks at ways of re-imagining archival images through collage and hand drawn illustration. So whilst the subjects may have changed the ethos of the work I create today remains the same. Forever inspired by an anti- establishment Punk attitude of just go do it yourself."

Hip replacements have provided good service and relief to hundreds of thousands of Americans over the last half century. Some of the changes to the basic hip replacement have made the operation safer and more reliable for younger, heavier and more active individuals.
Anterior Approach Hip Replacement:
Phelps orthopedic surgeons offer patients the latest techniques and technology, including Anterior Approach Hip Replacement. With this advanced procedure, surgical entry is from the front. The surgeon is able to work within the natural space between the muscles and does not have to cut any muscles or tendons to reach the hip. The most important muscles for hip function — the gluteal muscles, which attach to the pelvis and femur — are left undisturbed and therefore do not require a healing process.
Compared to standard and mini-incision hip replacement surgeries, the anterior approach has been shown to have fewer postoperative complications, less pain, and quicker recovery. It produces a more fixed hip, less likely to “pop out of the joint” with rigorous exercise or sudden movements. Hip replacement was once reserved for sedentary adults over the age of 60, but the anterior approach is appropriate for younger patients as well.

Anyone involved in community choirs will appreciate this lighthearted parody of the personalities we both encounter and display during rehearsals; from establishing a pecking order amongst ourselves to our complicated relationships with music directors, for better or worse. Stephen Chatman, well familiar with the milieu, and his writing partner Tara Wohlberg exaggerate the dynamic hysterically in this one-act opera, premiered and recorded at the University of British Columbia.
Under the direction of faculty members Nancy Hermiston and Jonathan Girard, the opera ensemble and instrumentalists clearly enjoy quite a lark with the performance, producing dissonant chaos, artless arpeggios and pursuing their own agendas with opinions on repertoire, with a liberal sprinkling of famous musical snippets from favourite pieces that serve as insider jokes for the audience as they recognize quotes from Mozart, Wagner and Philip Glass. Sexual innuendo and double entendre abound as well, in ridiculous manifestations with appearances from characters such as the clown, the diva, the belly dancer and the stutterer. Of course, eventually, out of the cacophony and bad behaviour, conductor “Willy Stroker” patiently coaxes out a harmonious and unified performance with the help of one of his more “visionary” choristers. Simple, unabashed fun and slapstick entertainment.

We propose a methodology for forecasting the systemic impact of financial institutions in interconnected systems. Utilizing a five-year sample including the 2008/9 financial crisis, we demonstrate how the approach can be used for the timely systemic risk monitoring of large European banks and insurance companies. We predict firms’ systemic relevance as the marginal impact of individual downside risks on systemic distress. So-called systemic risk betas account for a company’s position within the network of financial interdependencies, in addition to its balance sheet characteristics and its exposure to general market conditions. Relying only on publicly available daily market data, we determine time-varying systemic risk networks, and forecast the systemic relevance on a quarterly basis. Our empirical findings reveal time-varying risk channels and firms’ specific roles as risk transmitters and/or risk recipients.

Has anyone made their own play dough? I hadn’t, but I was looking for a new project for little miss creative when I saw a recipe for something they called “cloud dough”. It looked so easy, fun and super duper cheap to make, I had to give it a try.
The recipe? Two parts corn starch to one part hair conditioner of choice. I let my little one pick one that was pink and she liked the smell of. Mix until it’s all combined. It will be the roughly consistency of play dough, smell like conditioner, and have a soft fluffy feel to it ( hence the cloud part).
My daughter loves this stuff! She says it is even better than regular
playdough, because it’s soft and makes her hands smell yummy. We keep it in a Ziploc bag between playing. Our first batch kept for several weeks, then we made a second. It takes very little time or money, and scored high points for Mommy. It has kept her busy for hours, and I even let my little guy play with it some, if I am able to stay by them to watch closely.
A fun change up is one we just tried yesterday. I sprinkled a tiny bit of gold glitter on the table and let her roll the
dough in it, then she squished the glitter all up in it. Now she has sparkly cloud dough, which she calls her sparkly fairy dough. 🙂
Updating to share yet another twist on this fun dough we make regularly! 🙂 If you’re like me, and don’t keep dyes around on a regular basis, but do
keep sugar sprinkles for decorating baked goods, this one is for you! My kiddos had been arguing over what dough was whose, so I was brainstorming for a way to differentiate. I reached for the green and red sugar sprinkles in the spice cabinet and mixed a generous amount into each of their batches separately. My girly girl Princess Peachy wound up with a beautiful pink to make her little heart smile, and my dinosaur loving Bambam got a soul satisfying light green. No more fussing!! 🙂
Who wants to whip up a batch of this stuff? It is super simple, inexpensive and smells wonderful! 🙂

Cheese is one of the ingredients that has been beautifully adapted in all areas. The origin of cheese is not known for certain, but it is said that the practice of using cheese was most common in the Roman empire followed by Central Asia and the Middle East. Therefore you should know Is Goat Cheese Lactose Free? Before You Eat It Pay Attention To Your Lactose!
It is a well-known fact that cheese has a variety of varieties. While mozzarella cheese, cheddar, and parmesan are most famous around the world, there are other major types of cheese. One of the talking points in this town is goat’s cheese.
Does Goat Cheese Have Lactose?
Lactose is a sugar found in the milk of mammals – the pet type, the organ of the small intestine where most of the digestion of food and absorption of nutrients produces an enzyme called lactase. Lactase breaks down lactose into two simpler forms of sugar, namely glucose and galactose. The body then absorbs this simpler sugar into the bloodstream.
What goat cheese lactose intolerant?
Lactose intolerance is a condition in which people experience digestive symptoms such as bloating, diarrhea, and gas after eating or drinking milk or dairy products.
Symptoms occur 30 minutes – 2 hours after consuming milk or dairy products. Symptoms range from mild to severe based on the amount of lactose that people eat or drink and the amount a person can tolerate.
If people have lactose intolerance when lactase deficiency and lactose malabsorption causes these digestive symptoms. In people with lactase deficiency, the small intestine produces low lactase levels and is unable to digest much lactose.
In lactose malabsorption, undigested lactose enters the colon. Part of the colon absorbs water from the stool and converts it from a liquid into a solid form. In the colon, bacteria break down lactose that is not digested and create fluids and gases.
Lactose intolerance is a common problem, which identifies lactose-containing products as important to avoid symptoms. While most people know that cow’s milk and products derived from cow’s milk contain a lot of lactose, many people question whether goat’s milk and, by extension, goat’s cheese contains lactose.
Does Goat’s Milk and Cheese Have Lactose?
Goat’s milk is thought to have less lactose than milk from cows. Whether the amount of lactose is low enough to make goat’s milk and cheese made from goat’s milk easier to digest for people with lactose intolerance is still debatable and depends only on the person.
Is there any other reason why goat’s milk is easier to digest that has nothing to do with lactose. Goat’s milk is naturally homogenized, which means small fat clots and remain suspended in milk rather than separating. This makes milk easier for humans to digest. In cow’s milk, fat clots are large enough that they are difficult to digest.
It is important to note that many types of cheese are naturally low in lactose or have an immeasurable amount of lactose, whether it is made with goat, cow’s, or sheep’s milk.
The Relationship Between Lactose and Whey
Most lactose is found in whey, which is a liquid separated from a dense cheese curd during the cheesemaking process. As the cheese ages, it loses more whey. The longer the cheese has aged, the less lactose will remain in the final product.
Cheese with low or immeasurable lactose levels can be found in most cheese shops. These varieties include age gouda, aged cheddar, parmigianoreggiano, grana padano, mimolette, and romano.
Lactose Intolerance and Milk Allergy
Regarding milk allergy, there is a difference between being lactose intolerant and milk allergy. Usually, milk allergy is an allergic reaction to proteins found in dairy products.
If a person is allergic to milk proteins in cow’s milk, it is likely they will be allergic to goat’s milk as well.
Why Not Familiar? Know The Many Benefits of Goat’s Milk Cheese You Know
One of the biggest advantages of consuming goat’s cheese is for lactose-intolerant people. Studies show that the fermentation process involved in making goat’s cheese reduces the amount of lactose present in it and is easier to digest and more satisfying than other varieties of cheese made with cow’s milk.
That makes it a safer option for those who can’t consume cheese because of lactose. It is also rich in other nutrients such as fat, protein, calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Goat cheese is also known as one of the foods that can fight inflation and provide healthy fats.
Not many know goat’s cheese or known as chevre is a cheese made from goat’s milk that has many benefits for the body. So it is very well consumed for all circles, It benefits cheese from goat’s milk that you need to know:
Probiotics are good bacteria that are friendly and beneficial for the health of the body.
Depending on the type of cheese, goat’s cheese contains a wide variety of probiotics including L. acidophilus / L. Plantarum. This probiotic is what is needed to maintain intestinal function in the human digestive system.
Probiotic-rich diets are proven to improve digestive health, reduce inflammation, and boost immunity.
As reported from the Healthline page, goat’s cheese is a good source of probiotics because its high-fat content and hard texture protect the good bacteria in it to get to the digestive system.
Easier to digest than cheese from cow’s milk
The protein structure in goat’s cheese is simpler so it is easier to digest compared to cow’s cheese in the human digestive system. Also, it contains less lactose compared to cow’s milk.
Well, because the lactose content of goat cheese is lower than cow’s cheese, then goat cheese can be the right choice for some people who have impaired in digesting lactose.
The intake of saturated fat and cholesterol of goat’s cheese is lower compared to cheese from cow’s milk. Every 28 grams of goat’s cheese contains 5 grams of fat, while cheddar cheese from cow’s milk contains 9 grams of fat.
Also, goat’s cheese contains half saturated fat which is 3 grams per serving, while compared to cheddar cheese containing 6 grams per serving.
More vitamins and minerals
With the same amount, cheese from goat’s milk contains higher vitamin D, K, thiamine (vitamin B1), and niacin (vitamin B3). Also, goat’s cheese contains higher riboflavin and phosphorus.
The amount of vitamin A in goat’s cheese contains the same amount as cheddar cheese from cow’s milk. All these vitamins and minerals can not be made by the body itself, therefore, vitamins and minerals from these foods and drinks are indispensable to meet the needs of the body.
Goat’s milk contains more short-chain and medium-chain fatty acids than cow’s milk. Goat’s milk contains a type of fatty acid called capric acid and caprylic acid. Fatty acids are a source of energy that can be digested quickly but can increase satiety for longer. It can help you who want to lose weight.
Cheese made goat’s milk has been shown to have anti-inflammatory benefits and can even suppress hunger due to its capric acid content. Also, it is believed that this content can also fight P acne which is a bacteria that causes inflammation and acne.
Is there a negative impact on goat’s cheese?
Eating too much cheese can cause headaches and even migraines due to the presence of tyramine. The high content of sodium, calcium, and saturated fatty acids found in cheese can cause heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
Types of goat’s cheese
There are more than 30 types of cheese available prepared with goat’s milk. The difference between each type of cheese is the main fermentation process, followed by the taste and texture of the cheese. Some of the most famous are blue cheese, Chevre, White Print Goat Cheese, feta cheese, and robiola.
Also, you should know about What is Lamb Meat Called? And What Is The Difference Between Lamb Meat, Mutton Meat. In addition to beef, goat, lamb meat can also be used as another meat option to be consumed.

The taste and texture of goat’s cheese
Also known as Chèvre, which means goat in French, goat’s cheese is made from goat’s milk and is found in a variety of flavors and textures such as soft and mushy, light or sharp, young or mature.
With its popularity and demand increasing by the day, there are also flavors added to make it more flexible. Flavourful fatty acids called decanoic acid to add a different flavor to this cheese and encourage the development of bacteria needed to maintain good gut health.
How to use goat’s cheese?
While goat’s cheese has a variety of varieties, which also means that its use depends largely on the type chosen for use. Some of them melt easily and others don’t. However, there are some common ways to add goat’s cheese to the diet.
You can add goat’s cheese to salads, choose sharp goat’s cheese and you can make amazing tacos. It can also be added to pizza after cooking as a beautiful and healthy topping.
What about the goat cheese lactose-free diet?
Before a diagnosis is established by doctors, people suffering from lactose intolerance are often suspected of being allergic to milk. However, lactose intolerance is not the same as milk allergies. Allergies are reactions that the immune system causes to certain proteins in milk.
Meanwhile, lactose intolerance is the opposite, namely a lack of the enzyme lactase. People who are deficient in lactase enzymes are still likely to consume dairy products with very low lactose content.

The “No Days off” series of Vines from Stephen Curry have been a fun distraction while we await the upcoming 2013-14 season. But that’s not really how Curry gets ready, and this off-season was the first of his career where he could go full throttle without worrying about an injury he’s rehabilitating.
The Sporting News’ DeAntae Prince spent a day with Stephen Curry going through his actual off-season workout rather than a Vine parody of the hard work he puts in every single day.
The one caveat to this summer is Seth’s health. In his previous summer’s off, Curry had been trying to recuperate from ankle problems that limited him to just 23 starts in the 2011-12 season. But a remarkable second half last season, one where he didn’t suffer another ankle injury, means a summer free of rehabilitation.
Here are some of the drills Curry goes through during his three-hour workout that doesn’t include weights at Accelerate Basketball. First, he practices going through basketball motions with a pulleyy attaching weight to his waist to hinder his mobility.
That’s not the end of adding resistance, like a deliberative Harrison Bergeron, to build up Curry’s muscles when a real defender is mugging him before he goes up for a shot.
The trainers at Accelerate Basketball, including Curry’s skills trainer Brandon Payne, hit him with light foam pads to mimic contact while he’s shooting a jumper.
Then come the ball-handling skills that helped Steph dish more dimes last season (6.9 per game) than he ever has over his four-year career.


BANGOR, Maine — The Bates College Bobcats took a six-point halftime lead and then held off the Husson University Eagles for a 71-65 women’s basketball victory Tuesday night at Newman Gym.
The lead seesawed for much of the second half until Bates pulled away for a 62-55 advantage with about six minutes left. Husson’s Victoria McIntyre hit a 3-pointer to cut it to 68-61, but the Bobcats held the Eagles to just four points in the last few minutes to secure the victory.
Bernadette Connors paced Bates (2-1) with 18 points, two assists and three steals. Mollly Brown chipped in with 17 points, Kristin Calvo added 13 and Chelsea Nelson netted 12. Allie Coppola contributed with 9 points and 20 rebounds.
Chandler Guerrette sparked Husson (0-1) with 24 points and four rebounds. McIntyre finished with 19 points, 10 rebounds, two assists and two steals. Stephanie Comstock chipped in with 11 points and four rebounds.
Bates held Husson to a 37.3 percent effort from the floor (25 of 61). Husson had a slight rebounding edge of 43-42.
UNH 84, Thomas 36
At Lundholm Gym in Durham, New Hampshire, Jaleen Smith scored nine first-half points and Tanner Leissner added seven as the Division I Wildcats surged to a 37-14 first-half lead en route to the win over the Division III Terriers of Waterville.
UNH, now 1-1, went mostly with its reserves in the second half and three of them hit double-figure scoring as Frank Okeke and John Edwards each put in 12 points and Ronnel Johnson netted 11.
Levi Barnes sparked Thomas with 12 points, 10 in the first half, and Eric Westbrooks chipped in with eight points.
UNH outrebounded Thomas 51-24.

DC will distribute Splunk software for collecting, indexing and harnessing machine data in Australia through Firewall Systems, its specialist business unit.
This will give Splunk’s Australian reseller network, which is comprised of a small specialised base of partners, access to operational intelligence solutions that provide enterprises with the ability to cope with big data.
DC’s cross-vendor relationships played a role in the formation of the agreement.
“We cover Splunk’s technical supplements across a range of different business units, and we are talking to our vendors a lot about cross-business unit technology transfer, and cross-transfer promotion and solution programs,” DC managing director, Nick Verykios, said.
DC will also represent Splunk as its channel manager, and will act as the enforcement point for its channel program.
“We will be executing on the technology services presales, sales engineering, channel enablement and training, and renewal and license management,” Verykios added.
The distributor will also be managing the vendor’s reseller accreditation program for engineers, as well as offering sales enablement training and technical familiarisations, according to Verykios.
DC is yet to calculate the financial mechanics of the partnership, and is thus uncertain of the potential revenue boost it may generate.
Prior to the agreement, DC had been promoting the Splunk brand to its channel through the back of other relationships with vendors who have existing technology relationships with Splunk.

Dynamo glad to have Hainault back in fold
Starter returns after stint with Canadian Cup team comes to early end
Published 5:30 am, Thursday, June 16, 2011
Andre Hainault's disappointment was still quite fresh when he landed back in Houston on Wednesday morning. Although he's been one of the Dynamo's most valuable players this season, none of his teammates would blame him for wanting to be away from the Bayou City another week.
Until stoppage time Tuesday night against Panama, Hainault and the Canadian national team had all but assured themselves a spot in the Gold Cup quarterfinals. But they were bounced after giving up a late equalizer.
"It's slowly settling in," Hainault said. "Obviously, the way it happened was a big shock. We felt we had done enough to get through. So to have it in the last minute taken away is tough."
Hainault was one of three Dynamo players called up by their respective national teams for the Gold Cup. Center back Jermaine Taylor and midfielder Je-Vaughn Watson helped lead Jamaica to first place in Group B, earning a quarterfinal match Sunday against Group C runner-up the United States for a spot to play in the semifinals Wednesday at Reliant Stadium.
Hainault returned home after a disappointing draw in which the final goal came as a Panamanian practically kicked the ball out of Canada's goalkeeper's hands after a sequence in which Canada had several chances to clear the ball out of danger.
"You feel a little bit bad for Canada for being ever so close to advancing," Dynamo coach Dominic Kinnear said. "But on the Dynamo side of it, knowing Andre is coming back is a big boost for us."
Loss leaves team 'gutted'
The late goal left Hainault and his teammates dejected in a solemn locker room afterward.
"You don't really talk about it," he said. "Everyone's nerves are shot. They're so frustrated.
"You don't sit there and talk about it, because everybody is so gutted from the way it happened."
At training and in games, Hainault is one of the more intense competitors. Teammates and opponents know he's going to fight every 50-50 ball as though the World Cup were riding on it, much to Kinnear's delight.
Of the three players the Dynamo lost during the group stage of the Gold Cup, Hainault was the only starter. When with the team, he has been in the starting lineup for each game. He shifted from left back to center back after Taylor joined the Jamaican national team for a friendly following the MLS season opener.
Taylor returned from national team duty with an injury, and Hainault never relinquished the starting spot when Taylor was healthy enough to play. Hainault has played so well that Taylor has now started more games for the Jamaican nationals at the 2011 Gold Cup (three) than he has for the Dynamo (two).
Kinnear moves players
To compensate for Hainault and Taylor's absence, Kinnear shifted central midfielder Geoff Cameron to center back in the June 4 loss to San Jose. Desperate to instill toughness that had been missing, Kinnear gave veteran Eddie Robinson a start at his old center back spot in Saturday's 2-1 victory over Chivas USA.
Robinson played well and elevated the team's intensity but had to leave in the 55th minute with a left MCL strain that will keep him out at least one game. If Canada had advanced, Kinnear likely would have shifted Cameron back from the midfield.
By tying Canada late to win Group C, Panama did more than just finish ahead of the tournament co-favorite Americans. Panama also sent the Dynamo's most dominant defender back home to prepare for Saturday night's contest against the Columbus Crew in a matchup of teams tied for third in the Eastern Conference.
"Physically, I think I should be fine," Hainault said. "I think we're on that fence where we need things to click and we can go on a run and get some wins. We're showing good intensity. We need to clean up some things on the goals, but I think the defense is jelling."

The human body is comprised of 102 minerals in trace amounts. Trace elements are very important for cell functions. They are vital in biochemical reactions by acting as cofactors for many enzymes, as well as act as centers for stabilizing structures of enzymes and proteins.
They’re also responsible for supporting your blood system and are necessary for the healthy growth of certain hormones. Trace minerals also ensure the proper development of neurological functions and enzymes throughout the body. So how can we make sure we can get all 102 trace minerals? The answer seems to be in Burdock Root which is a root vegetable native to northern Asia and Europe. But is now grows in the United States. Traditionally in Asia it was used medicinally as a cleansing agent.
Powerhouse of antioxidants
Burdock root has multiple types of powerful antioxidants, including quercetin, luteolin, and phenolic acids. Antioxidants protect cells in the body from damage due to free radicals. They can help treat and prevent a number of different health conditions.
Antioxidants can also help to reduce inflammation. One study found that burdock root reduced inflammatory markers in the blood of patients with osteoarthritis (3Trusted Source).
Removes toxins from the blood
One of the most common uses has been to purify the blood by removing toxins from the bloodstream. It also promotes increased circulation in the surface of the skin.
May inhibit some types of cancer
Burdock root may also inhibit certain types of cancer. One big reason it shows promise for naturally fighting cancer is the fact that it contains arctigenin.
Studies explain that arctigenin is a lignan found in certain plants of the Asteraceae family, including greater burdock (Arctium lappa). It has been shown to combat cancer cells by selectively stopping the proliferation of cancer cells and inhibiting the cancer cells’ production of particular proteins (NPAT proteins), hence crippling cancer’s ability to reproduce.
Another study found that arctigenin was a cancer-specific phytochemical that killed human lung cancer cells, human liver cancer cells and human stomach cancer cells.
It can help treat skin issues
Burdock contains plant chemicals known as “polyacetylenes” which have anti-fungal and antibiotic qualities. This is especially useful in cases of acne, helping to fight off acne causing bacteria such as streptococcus.
Burdock Root acts on the blood and circulatory system and contains active compounds such as arctiine and lignans which have matrix-stimulating properties, thus promoting supple and younger looking skin. It can also be beneficial for eczema due to its blood purifying activity. As a natural detoxifier, Burdock Root can also help to clear the body of harmful toxins that can damage the skin.
The lymphatic system is a network of tissues and organs that help rid the body of toxins, waste and other unwanted materials. The primary function of the lymphatic system is to transport lymph, a fluid containing infection-fighting white blood cells, throughout the body. Burdock Root stimulates the lymphatic drainage.
Diuretics can help to stimulate the kidneys, allowing urine to be passed more frequently and in greater quantity – this helps to cleanse the kidneys and can prevent water retention. By increasing the rate of urination, Burdock Root can help to remove waste from the blood and body. It is important to note that if you are dehydrated you should postpone consuming Burdock Root until you are fully hydrated.
Burdock Root is also “diaphoretic”, meaning it increases sweating – another important route via which the body eliminates toxins.
Burdock Root contains inulin, a soluble and prebiotic fibre that helps improve digestion. That makes it an excellent choice for people trying to naturally manage their blood sugar.
Acting as food for healthy gut bacteria, inulin helps regulate inflammation and remove toxins from the body. It also contains mucilage which acts as a protection for the gastric mucosa (the mucous membrane layer of the stomach), helping it to heal – this is especially useful if it has been damaged by acidity or inflammation.
The antioxidants especially help to protect the liver against poisonous substances. The compounds that give it its bitter taste can help stimulate bile production, helping the liver flush away toxins with more speed and ease.
Known for its powerful anti-inflammatory abilities. A study published in the International Journal of Rheumatic Diseases relayed that burdock root tea improved inflammatory status and oxidative stress in patients with knee osteoarthritis, also known as degenerative joint disease.
Helps Treat an Enlarged Spleen
Studies indicate that the spleen is a vital “guardian” organ that we rely on to keep the body free from infections, viruses and all kinds of dangerous pathogens.
An enlarged spleen is a clear warning sign that the immune system is fighting hard to remove threats from the body but failing to do so because it can’t keep up with high demand.
Your spleen is in constant contact with your blood, so as burdock root cleanses your blood, it also cleanses and protects the spleen. It can help the spleen because it improves blood quality as well as liver health, circulation and fights inflammation.
Burdock is considered to be safe, however it should only be obtained from reputable sources and should never be collected in the wild. Burdock resembles plants in the same family as belladonna nightshade, which are highly toxic. They often grow together. There is a risk that burdock preparations may be contaminated with these potentially dangerous herbs. For this reason, you should always purchase burdock root products from established and well-respected companies.
Burdock root is considered safe when consumed as a food, which is done regularly in Asian countries. However, pregnant and nursing women should avoid burdock root, as it may cause damage to the fetus.
If you’re dehydrated, you should not take burdock because the herb’s diuretic effects could make dehydration worse.
If you’re sensitive to the Asteraceae/Compositae plant families, which include ragweed, chrysanthemums, marigolds and daisies, studies reveal that you could possibly experience an allergic reaction to using burdock internally or externally, including dermatitis.
There are no known scientific reports of interactions between burdock and conventional medications. However, you should talk to your doctor before taking burdock if you take diuretics (burdock could make the effect of water pills stronger), diabetes medications (burdock might lower blood sugar, causing hypoglycemia) or blood-thinning medications (burdock can slow blood clotting and, when taken with blood-thinning medications, may increase the risk of bruising and bleeding).
If you’re going to undergo any type of surgery, stop taking burdock root at least two weeks before your surgery date. Burdock might increase the risk of bleeding during and after surgery.
There are no known scientific reports on the pediatric use of burdock, so you should only give burdock to children under the supervision of a doctor.
A typical dosage of Burdock Root Powder is one to two grams of powdered dry root up to three times per day.
Burdock Root can be made into an herbal Tea. Use 1-2 teaspoons per cup of boiling water and steep for 3-10 minutes.
Burdock Root Tincture is traditionally taken 2-3ml, 2-3 times per day or as directed by an Herbal Practitioner.
As a retired registered massage therapist, I’ve always been interested in health. I grew up loving sports so that carried into my adult life in my chosen career paths and in my personal life. I now stay active with weight training, hiking and biking. My professional life has always been in health care. This has inspired me to seek out and adopt a life of natural health and wellness.

The CNN video below shows the damage caused by Irene in the small town of Prattsville, New York. The Catskills town of just over 300 homes was almost entirely underwater when newscasters arrived.
A state police helicopter was needed to rescue over 20 people stranded in the town yesterday, according to CNN.
The town was flooded when a local creek rose over 15 feet in under 12 hours. Greene County Administrator Shaun Groden told CNN that the rainwater spilling off the Catskills sent a volume of water that was greater than Niagara Falls through Prattsville.
According to the Associated Press, continued flooding on bridges and roads has cutoff at least three towns in New York and “some Vermont rivers still haven't reached their peak.” Flooding in Vermont is the worst in a century.
In Bartonsville, Vermont, strong floodwaters carried away a 141-year-old covered bridge as onlookers watched in shock.

Ernst Collin, history of the book, Stolperstein
Book and Paper | German Language and Literature | Library and Information Science | Other German Language and Literature | Other History
Article (in German) provides biographical details about the life of Ernst Collin, son and grandson of Prussian and German court bookbinders, who was one of the leading writers in the field of bookbinding and the history of the book in the period between the World Wars.
On April 1, 2014 two Stolpersteine (Stumbling Blocks) were laid to memorialize Ernst Collin and his wife Else (nee Cronheim) in front of the entrance to their home at Cicerostr 61 in Berlin. Stolpersteine are “monuments created by Gunter Demnig that commemorate victims of the Holocaust. They are small, cobblestone-sized memorials for an individual victim of Nazism – both those who died and survivors – who were consigned by the Nazis to prisons, euthanasia facilities, sterilization clinics, concentration camps, and extermination camps, as well as those who responded to persecution by emigrating or committing suicide.” The “stones” record the name of the individual, their birthday, and their fate.

New York City Councilmember Erik Bottcher has partnered with WIN – the largest provider of shelter and supportive services for homeless families in the city – to expand mental healthcare for families in shelters.
The bill, introduced June 16, will require the city to fund mental health clinicians at every family shelter who will provide parents and children with the support they need.
Nearly two-thirds of homeless New Yorkers are families with children, with an average of 8,400 families with over 14,000 children sleeping in shelters each night this year.
“If a homeless mother had a broken leg, we would all agree she needs care immediately — the city needs to treat mental health the same way,” said Christine C. Quinn, President & CEO of WIN. “From addressing mental health challenges to treating substance abuse, the city has an obligation to step up with the resources our families need and deserve. In and of itself, becoming homeless is a traumatic experience, and with this bill we can improve New Yorkers’ lives while they’re in shelter and help them find the stability they need to move into permanent housing.”
In 2016, NYC deployed social workers to family shelters which provided some help to individuals who were struggling.
However, the high volume of caseloads and some contractual restrictions prevented social workers from providing mental healthcare services on site which stranded parents and children and made it difficult for many to receive reliable care.
Many homeless mothers and children struggle with trauma from domestic violence and eviction and often need mental health support following these events. Parents – women in particular – are also overburdened with trying to find jobs while also managing and maintaining their children’s welfare.
“Mothers in the shelter system must balance their family’s immediate needs — like getting their kids to school and putting food on the table — with longer-term priorities like obtaining mental health care,” Council Member Bottcher said. “Mental health clinics’ long wait times and operating hours that fail to accommodate their schedules further increase roadblocks to appropriate care. Our bill will reduce barriers to care, improve outcomes for families, and support families with children experiencing homelessness in accessing services that meet them where they are.”
In a statement released today, 20 groups urged the city to make providing clinical mental health services at family shelters a priority.
“Families in shelter have all experienced trauma and many also struggle with mental health challenges,” the June 16 statement read. “In our work as shelter providers, mental health providers, and advocates, we see every day that this significant need is going unmet because of the lack of resources. We call on the City Council and the Mayor to remedy this by providing funding for clinical mental health services for adults and children on-site in all shelters serving families with children.”

When walking by 111 N. Holden St. in downtown Warrensburg, a noticeable change is now present. Assorted works of art once decorated the building’s walls, which are now bare, and a “For Lease” sign is on display in the window.
This was the location of the The Gallery Artist Collective, which closed Friday, Feb.2.
The Gallery was the creation of Anne Steinbrunn and Jay Linhardt. Its closing marked the second venture Linhardt was involved with that’s fallen by the wayside within the span of under a year – he was the sound engineer at the The Bay, the Pine Street bar that closed in June. A few days later, the grand opening of The Gallery happened. The Bay was gone, but creative energy in the ‘Burg was still alive and manifesting itself at other locales.
The reason for The Gallery’s closing was financial, Linhardt said he plans to continue to try and help build a more supportive environment for music and the arts.
“Frankly, we couldn’t afford to do it, couldn’t afford the space anymore,” Linhardt explained.
“We didn’t really have much of a choice.”
A few months ago, an online crowdfunding program for The Gallery was started with the aim of securing benefactors.
“One hundred people paying10 bucks a month could have funded it,” Linhardt said.
Linhardt speculates the timing might not have been right for such a facility to prosper locally.
“Maybe next time people will be more supportive,” he said. “When our lease came up at the building, it was the middle of winter, which is a really bad time financially for people.”
“I’m not saying that people didn’t support for a lack of want or desire to. Maybe a lot of people just couldn’t at the time,” Linhardt said.
Linhardt said he thinks the lack of financial support wasn’t due to a lack of want or desire, but rather due to financial limitations among Warrensburg’s population.
“I don’t blame anybody that they couldn’t support financially,” Linhardt declared.
Linhardt now has his eyes on something less costly.
“The next project I’d like to tackle is doing rotating art displays in empty store fronts in Warrensburg,” Linhardt said. “It’s really at no cost to myself or any other organization.”
He admitted the loss of The Gallery and The Bay is depressing for him, but his motivation to carry on in the face of adversity is connected to a belief in a greater cause, the belief that art and music are essential parts of life that benefit society at large.
“A lot of people say you can’t change the world or whatever, and in a lot of cases, that’s true,” Linhardt said. “Not a lot of people go out and do that, but you can go out and change the world on your level. I think the world is pretty bland without art and music.”


Projectiles and Rifling > Rifling Machines
In small arms the projectile of lead is so soft, small, and mouldable, that no serious difficulties are found in causing it to adapt itself to the spirals of the barrel, so as perfectly to take the spin without injury to the spirals; but the case is widely different in great guns. The mass of the projectile must be of rigid material, of iron or steel; either, then, some tertium quid of soft and mouldalde material, like lead, must be adapted to its exterior, that shall at the moment of projection adapt itself to the spirals also, or workmanship the most exquisite and precise must be employed to produce in each shot a rigid piston, perfectly fitting the spirals. Armstrong adopts the former, Whitworth the latter alternative. Lancaster might employ either the one or the other, but did employ (though imperfectly carried out) the second. Simple as are these conditions, when they are brought further into contact with those of continued and actual service, they are found to involve difficulties that have taxed the ingenuity of many minds, and have produced a perfect encyclopaedia of plans for the construction of shot and spirals, none of which can be said as yet to be admittedly perfect.
One of the two great classes of rifled cannon shot, viz., that of hard and soft metal combined, is again subdivisible, into those in which the shot is already by formation nearly adapted to fit the spirals of the gun, and is deformed by the explosion only to such an extent, as shall enable the soft metal quite to fill the windage, &c.; to this belong the French, Italian, and Spanish projectiles, and those of Britten, Jeffery, and the Armstrong shunt gun, with others; and those in which the soft metal, by formation a cylinder or other form larger than the rifled chase, is at the moment of explosion deformed to the full extent of the rifling, and takes the form of the spirals by being forced through them, as wire is passed through the draw plate.
To this latter class the Armstrong projectiles (except those of the shunt gun) belong. These involve breech-loading cannon as a matter of necessity, because by no other means can the projectile, larger in diameter than the chase of the gun, be introduced; and also demand fine spiral groovings, such as those which (called formerly in small arms hair rifling) in the shape of the teeth of a ratchet wheel, characterise the Armstrong guns.
In Figs. 622, 623, 624, are given seven of the more remarkable of the forms of rifle spirals and projectiles that are before the public in this country, being those which in August and September, 1861, were submitted to certain competitive trials at Shoeburyness as to their shooting, and since that to trials as to endurance of the guns, at Woolwich, which as respects some of them are not even yet concluded. Of these, Lancaster’s, Hadden’s, and Scott’s projectiles are wholly of hard material, and amongst these in class would be placed Whitworth’s shot, which is in section where it fits the chase a hexagon, with the angles taken off. The projectiles of Armstrong’s shunt gun, and of the French “canon rayé” have the projections to fit the spirals, partly of hard and partly of soft metal, while Britten’s and Jeffery’s are so coated with soft metal (lead, or an alloy of lead and zinc) that nothing but the latter enters the spirals. The spirals themselves in the gun have been subjected to many modifications in number, size, breadth, depth, form, and amount and nature of twist, very often with more ingenuity than knowledge of guiding principles. To discuss these principles here, and within our space, is impracticable. One or two of the main points, however, are these:- Given the calibre, form, and density of the projectile, and its intended initial velocity, a certain velocity of rotation upon its axis of projection, must be impressed to insure accuracy of flight within given limits, and within given limits of range, and at elevations not greatly removed from horizontal. Then, caeteris paribus, that form of rifle grooving will be the best as respects the gun, that shall enable it best to sustain the equivalent of the work that must be impressed upon the shot to produce rotation, with the least amount of cutting away of material, from the interior of the originally cylindrical chase, and chiefly that shall cut least radially, or in depth, from the thickness of the gun. As respects the shot, it is generally true that in proportion as the preceding condition is approached in the form of the gun, so will the form of the shot be good as respects its flight, so far as aerial resistance due to projections from its surface is concerned.
