In a previous blog “How to Save Time and Money by Measuring the Right Amount of Viscosity,” viscosity was described as critical to the conformal coating process. This post will cover some of the technical details related to coating flow rate and the significant potential for savings of both time and money for PCB manufacturers.
For the purpose of this article as it relates to the manufacture of printed circuit boards, the definition of flow rate (cubic centimeters/second) will be as follows: the volume of conformal coating (cc) dispensed in a certain period of time. By multiplying the cycle time (spray time only) per circuit board by the flow rate and price, it is possible to calculate coating cost per board as well.
As stated, the flow rate of a conformal coating is a critical variable. Some of the most basic effects of flow rate changes are detailed below.
- When the flow is too low, the results are
- insufficient PCB component coverage;
- a lack of PCB protection, leading to corrosion; and
- field failures, sparking warranty claims.
- When the flow is too high, consequences include
- excessive coating thickness,
- additional/wasted coating costs,
- contamination and flow into undesired areas,
- cracking and other issues, and
- field failures and warranty claims.
How to get an accurate flow rate:The first step is to find an appropriate method to measure and quantify the rate. The most common and useful way to accomplish this involves a four-part approach.
- Define the flow rate that will result in the desired coating thickness -- usually in cubic centimeters per second.
- When conditions are set, spray the coating into a small container for a defined time -- typically 5 to 30 seconds.
- Weigh the coating within the container (in grams) and divide by the number of seconds and the coating’s specific gravity (sg). The specific gravity can be most often found on the TDS or SDS and is in decimal forms, such as 0.95.
- The resulting number will be the flow rate in cc’s per second.
Once an accurate flow rate has been defined for a given circuit board and cycle time, it is then possible to make regular quality checks on flow rate to assure that your process remains consistent and your application weights and thicknesses are neither too thick nor too thin.
Now that you know how to define and measure flow rate, the next step will be to determine how to control and monitor the flow of the conformal coating in the PCB manufacturing process. Here is where things begin to get interesting because of the need to understand what influences the flow rate within the system.
On a typical selective conformal coating machine, there are a number of methods to prompt the coating to flow from a container to the spray apparatus, including
- gravity feed,
- a pressure vessel with applied adjustable air pressure, or
- a pump with adjustable speed.

Typically, there also will be an installed valve to help with flow adjustment in each of these cases. In basic gravity feed, the aperture of the valve combined with the amount of liquid in the vessel will be the primary influences on the flow. For example, if you open the valve at its maximum capacity, more material is able to pass through it. In reverse, if you close the valve, no material is able to pass through.
Another variable is pot pressure. In a normal air pressurized system, the higher the air pressure in the tank, the more material is pushed out of the container through the system. If the system has a pump, higher pump rpm’s or speed will result in more material being pumped and the flow of the conformal coating increases.
A summary of the main factors that affect flow rate includes
- the amount of liquid in the vessel (gravity feed),
- the air pressure on the pressurized vessel,
- the pump speed,
- the valve setting, and
- the coating’s viscosity.
In each of the above cases, increasing volume, pressure, or pump speed will increase flow rate. On the other hand, viscosity has an inverse relationship to flow rate, and the higher the coating viscosity the lower the flow rate with all other variables constant. By adjusting any one of these variables while holding the others constant it is possible to adjust the flow rate. For example, raising the pressure on the vessel is the most common method of increasing flow, but it can be limited as too high pressure can introduce trapped air and bubbles. If trapped air becomes an issue, it would then be necessary to consider other variables such as the valve opening or even viscosity adjustments.
This article has covered the definition of flow rate, how flow rates can be consistently measured and maintained, as well as the multiple factors that can be used to your advantage to adjust flow rates. If these methods are used consistently as part of quality and process control, the result should be increased efficiency, consistent coating thicknesses, and improved quality among finished products, resulting in decreased warranty returns and rework.

Who are Mettis?
Four different, charismatic personalities from Vilnius, Lithuania who give all their heart in every performance to make it extraordinary. Quality and perfection is very important but also they are not worried to take risks and never plays too safe. This is sometimes even shocking, unexpected experience which makes the performance unforgettable and never boring.
How Mettis became Mettis?
Each member of quartet had to think 20 names which are short, good sounding, meaningful and represents us the best. Mettis is cool don’t you think so?
Metis was an ancient Greek mythological figure, an Oceanid from the second generation of Titans, who was the wife of Zeus and the mother of Athena. She was known for her cunning, her wisdom and her skill.
What is Mettis?
Mettis quartet is more concert ensemble but their activity in 2016 brought them important international accomplishments: 2nd prize at the 8th Bordeaux International String Quartet competition along with special prize for the best performance Durosoir’s string quartet and the victory in IX International V.E.Rimbotti competition in Italy.
How did it begin?
Ensemble was founded in 2012 in Vilnius, Lithuania with the idea to become good concert ensemble. They have studied in Lithuanian academy of music and theatre, along with European Chamber Music Academy (ECMA). The biggest influence quartet got from Hatto Beyerle and Johannes Meissl.
How to listen to Mettis?
Mettis have released their CD with Beethoven and Shostakovich quartets in 2015. Please check our MEDIA SECTION for more! You can also listen for our CD in spotify and deezer platforms!
In the end of 2019 Mettis released their first international label CD with French label LIGIA of Shostakovich and Weinberg piano quintets with maestra Mūza Rubackytė
Mettis quartet have already played performances in such important halls as Wigmore Hall, Berlin Konzerthaus, Laeiszhalle (Hamburg), Gulbenkian (Lisbon), also festivals like Montpellier Radio France, Luberon, Aix-en-Provence and many others. They have played in many European countries, Canada, China, Israel, Panama and USA. Please check our EVENTS for future performances.
Mettis and others?
Mettis quartet collaborates with many different artists: single instrumentalists, quartets, choirs and sometimes even tries themselves in other genres. In 2018 they have played in World music festival in Panama together with Hernan Romero (USA) and Kęstutis Vaiginis (saxophone). In 2019 Mettis with mr. Vaiginis started a jazz project and traveled to China to play in Beijing and Changchun jazz festivals. This project is being developed in 2020 and will be premiered for Lithuanian audience in Vilnius St.Catherine's church on 7th of April.
For 2020-2021 season Mettis big plans are concerts in Italy, Israel, France, Germany, Portugal. Please follow the info!

Rt.com reports: South Dakota’s bill was passed after Mississippi lawmakers approved similar legislation last week. Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves said on Thursday that he would sign the bill, making it law. Idaho last year became the first US state to enact a law barring transgender females from competing in girls’ and women’s sports, but a federal court ruling has held up implementation.
South Dakota and Mississippi were among about two-dozen states that had such legislation pending this year. The bills are advertised as protecting girls and women from unfairly having to compete with biological males.
Among other concerns, parents have raised fears that biological males with physical advantages over girls could stand in the way of their daughters winning college athletic scholarships.
The legislation also reflects efforts by Republicans to push back against Democrats on transgender politics, including President Joe Biden’s Inauguration Day executive order expanding LGBTQ discrimination protections. The order condemned denying children “access to the restroom, the locker room or school sports.”
The political divide was evident on Monday. While Noem, a rising star among conservative Republicans, was touting a bill banning transgender females from female sports, Biden marked International Women’s Day by creating a White House Gender Policy Council and announcing that two female generals would head US combat commands.
Before it was passed on Monday, the bill ran into unlikely opposition from some members of the Republican-dominated legislature. Republican Senator V.J. Smith argued the passage of the bill would be tantamount to a “political statement,” that is bound to be challenged in a federal court.
Opponents of the bill have argued that it’s discriminatory and purports to solve a problem that doesn’t exist. While there is believed to be no transgender females playing in any high schools sports league in the state, instances of transgender females dominating women’s sports have grabbed headlines in the recent years.
For instance, two transgender girls dominated Connecticut high school sprinting championships, leading to lawsuits filed last year by the families of female competitors who said they were deprived of track titles and scholarship opportunities.
In 2018, Rachel McKinnon, a Canadian transgender woman, became a world cycling champion in the 35-44 age bracket, drawing complaints of unfairness from some competitors. McKinnon defended her title the next year, attracting more attention to the cause.

text: We evaluated the results of segmental fixation of the spine with Cotrel- Dubousset instrumentation in ninety-five patients who had adolescent idiopathic scoliosis. The instrumentation was used in an attempt to achieve three-dimensional correction of the scoliosis, maintain lumbar lordosis, create thoracic kyphosis, and avoid the need for a postoperative cast or brace. The patients were followed for twenty-four to sixty-four months (average, thirty-five months). Cotrel-Dubousset instrumentation provided an average correction of the coronal curve of 48 per cent at the time of the most recent follow-up. The normal sagittal curves at the thoracolumbar junction and in the lumbar spine were maintained, and the thoracic kyphosis was increased slightly (average, +7 degrees). Apical translation improved an average of 60 per cent, and apical rotation improved an average of 11 per cent. Forced vital capacity improved an average of 21 per cent, and the one- second forced expiratory volume improved an average of 18 per cent. There were no major neurological deficits. A symptomatic pseudarthrosis developed in one patient. Postoperatively, decompensation of the spine developed in five of the first twenty-six patients who had a Type-II or Type-III curve. This complication was avoided in the last twenty-four patients who had a Type-II or Type-III curve by means of a stricter adherence to the definition of a Type-II curve, and reversal of the bend of the rod and the hooks between the caudal neutral and stable vertebrae. The major advantages of Cotrel- Dubousset instrumentation are the stable fixation that is achieved and the preservation of segmental lumbar lordosis.

Studying gematria has brought me more fulfillment and knowledge about the world we live in than anything that has preceded it. What began as a deep-dive into conspiracy theories turned into an unexpected discovery about our reality that has brought me more peace, understanding, and love for God than I ever thought was possible.
I always told myself I would keep studying this as long as I felt like I was learning and getting closer to the Truth. While I’m still getting closer, there were a few more direct roads I could have taken. In other words, I could have spent less time on a better approach and made it to where I have quicker.
I started this Blog a little less than one year ago, with the intent of increasing the number of stories I could cover and having a better base of documentation for what I had learned. An unintended outcome was a much simpler format for making videos that allowed me to put out an informative video virtually every day. Less than 2 months after I launched my blog, my YouTube channel had been terminated.
I sometimes feel like I let YouTube off the hook by slowing down my video content. Zach has shown that as long as you have a channel, you can still gain a high amount of subscribers, which I’ve failed to do. I have about the same number of subs now as I did when my channel was deleted in February, but credit that partially to YouTube’s evil side, which literally subscribers from my channel on its own volition, without their consent.
Gaining subscribers was never really my goal – creating better, more-digestible content was, and I eventually got better at that as the year went on. I wanted to help point other bright minds to this knowledge in hopes that one day the code can be “cracked”, things can be predicted with ease, and people will stop being fooled by this satanic mainstream media.
I ran a weekly Podcast for several months, but the amount of work I was putting into organizing it didn’t seem worth it. One 2-hour video each week is nice for the subscribers who want everything in one sitting, but it’s by no means the best way to reach new people, which SHOULD really be the goal.
So I began doing a few more live streams, but I was still lumping stories together and creating longer videos that are unappealing to the first-time passerby. I love the dynamic of having people in the Live Chat, but I’m beginning to think it would be better to put out shorter videos like I used to and just do one or two longer videos a week where I can communicate with subscribers.
This format is a bit more conducive to something like Patreon, which I can’t deny thinking about a lot as of late. I don’t love my real job, but I don’t hate it, and it allows me the freedom to produce plenty of content. But is it enough? And is it worth the energy I have to use on it every day? These are things I’ll continue to consider.
This Blog will certainly be seeing fewer posts in the coming year. I never intended to keep up the pace I have for a very long time, but I never plan on terminating this Blog or anything either. I know I’ll always want to make a post from time to time. But in the coming year, I believe I need to focus a little bit more on the “technical” side of gematria – not just improving the website, but doing a better job of making gematria “scientifically” provable, which I believe can be done, but will take a lot of creative work to solve.
Thanks to all of those who have reached out to me since I began this work – if I haven’t responded to you in the past month or two, please don’t fret, I literally have not had my nose in my e-mail much lately. I’ll be cleaning all of this up before the New Year.
Peace and God Bless,


I previously wrote a quick overview of Google’s video advertising endeavors back on April 1st. Now 2 months later Google is powering on and driving more video advertising initiatives off the starting grid.
New Video Advertising Initiatives
- New Video Adsense Formats:
In celebration for a whole year since the start of Adsense video ads, Google is now adding three new members of its click-to-play video advert family: the 728×90 Leaderboard, the 120×600 Skyscraper, and the 160×600 Wide Skyscraper. Previously, video ads were only enabled for the 300×250 Medium Rectangle, the 336×280 Large Rectangle, the 200×200 Small Square, and the 250×250 Square.
- Video Adverts For Publishers (closed beta pilot):
Google has started a closed pilot for select video publishers. The service will allow video publishers and video bloggers to add in-stream adverts to their content. I’m pretty sure this is a continuation of a trial Google started back in December 2006.
- YouTube inline Adverts
They came sooner than expected but static inline adverts have arrived on Google’s little (I mean Giant!) video baby, YouTube.
Other Google Video Ad Initiatives
- Google has introduced video adverts that have appeared on Google videos.
- Google has begun to trial regular TV adverts.
- Google has started the Adsense Video Distribution and Sponsorship Pilot.

Released last week, Anubhav Sinha’s action thriller, Anek, sees Ayushmann Khurrana play an undercover officer on a mission in the Northeast. (The state is unspecified.) During the course of two and a half hours, he begins to question the political strategy of his masters, the Indian government. Anek comes at a time when audiences seem to prefer larger-than-life heroes, men with much machismo. Three of the biggest pan-India hits of the past six months—Pushpa, RRR and KGF: Chapter 2—all seem to prove this assumption. Khurrana, though, has made a career out of playing heroes who are fallible, insecure and oftentimes not very likeable. The actor, for his part, isn’t too fazed by the current box office trend. He tells us, “Mass cinema will never go out of fashion. Every genre has to survive. People do not want reality every single time. They want to escape from it also.”
Looking at the film choices he has made over his decade-long career, it seems clear that Khurrana has arrived at a formula that ensures both survival and success in a highly competitive Hindi film industry. While he will sometimes play to the gallery with a film like Dream Girl (2019), he will often stick to what he calls his “staple genre”, the social comedy—Shubh Mangal Savdhan (2017), Shubh Mangal Zyada Savdhan (2020), Badhaai Ho (2018), Bala (2019) and Chandigarh Kare Aashiqui (2021). Anek is Khurrana’s attempt at doing “cinema for change”. He says, “If you have a certain voice as a director or an actor, it should reflect through your art. If you want to say something, say it through your art.”
Having started off with street theatre in his Chandigarh college, Khurrana is today more watchful than zealous. He says, “You will fall flat on your face if you have to comment on every single issue that you have next to no idea about.” Though he is “very non-confrontational as a person”, he adds he is “confrontational” as an artist. “There’s a dichotomy there,” he says. “I don’t want to be making news with controversy.” By collaborating with Anubhav Sinha—director of several hard-hitting films like Mulk (2018), Article 15 (2019) and Thappad (2020)—Khurrana gets handed an opportunity to showcase his “confrontational” side. He says, “Anek is an intelligent film. The narrative is complex. It deals with the deep politics of the Northeast, so it cannot be your typical potboiler. I get the courage to do a film like this only after doing films like Dream Girl and Bala. I have to strike that balance.”
It is clear that Anek will not be one of Khurrana’s highest grossers. That milestone will for now still belong to Dream Girl, an all-out entertainer which had grossed Rs 139 crore nationwide. Unlike Article 15, the last Sinha-Khurrana collaboration, Anek can be seen struggling hard to keep audiences invested in its cause and its characters. In his attempt to incorporate the many issues that plague the Northeast—insurgency, drug addiction, neglect from the mainland, racial abuse—Sinha bites more than he can chew. The film crumbles under the weight of questions like ‘who is an Indian?’ What we get is a convoluted drama with a lot of conversation and little action. It’s unlikely that Anek will come even close to making the Rs 65 crore the conscientious and compelling Article 15, their last collaboration, did.
For Khurrana, though, the process is the prize. He is proud that his fellow protagonist in the film, Andrea Kevichusa, an actress from Nagaland, was given not only a significant arc by Sinha, but also sufficient screen time. “It is historic [in Hindi cinema],” he says. “In fact, 70 per cent of the cast is from the region. Anubhav has helped pass on the mic to Northeasterners to talk about their struggle.”
Regardless of its fate, Anek demonstrates Khurrana’s eagerness to walk a road less taken. At times, this leads him to an ideal destination—like it did with Sriram Raghavan’s dark comedy Andhadhun (2018)—but sometimes the experimentation doesn’t have the desired effect, as is the case with Anek. One cannot, however, hold against Khurrana, the star, his desire to be different from his peers. “When I do niche films, I make sure my remuneration is such that it has to be a successful venture,” he says. “I’d also love to do more commercial films because the masses enjoy what is easy to relate to and consume.” His directors’ wish-list offers a glimpse of his varied taste—there’s Rohit Shetty there, Zoya Akhtar and also independent filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan (Masaan, 2015).
In his pursuit of the novel, Khurrana is also looking toward streaming. He wants a part that might compare to that of ‘The Professor’ in Money Heist (2017-2021). So, have any offers come his way? “I read 10 scripts a day but most are trash,” he smiles. “In a year, you find two good scripts. It’s a tedious exercise.” But he isn’t complaining. He knows how rewarding even that one script can become.

Tiger Woods may have come up just short in his bid to win the Valspar Championship, but the 14-time major champion is now firmly in the conversation when it comes to predicting the winner of next month's Masters.
Less than six months ago, Woods acknowledged he was not sure whether he would even play professional golf again, as he continued his recovery from a fourth back surgery.
Yet the 42-year-old looked fit and sharp at Palm Harbor as he posted four scores of 70 or better and finished just one shot behind tournament-winner Paul Casey in a dramatic finale.
Although Woods narrowly failed to win a first PGA Tour event since 2013, he is now widely priced as the second-favourite for the first major of 2018, which takes place at Augusta from April 5-8.
Woods has won the Masters on four occasions, albeit most recently in 2005.
We take a look at four reasons why Tiger could once again triumph at Augusta.
40 the new 20-something?! Phil Mickelson, 47, ends drought of 4+ yrs & now well done, hearty congrats @Paul_Casey, 40, on 1st @PGATOUR win since 2009. Fantastic 65 w/ just 21 putts at @ValsparChamp! And well done @TigerWoods! You're getting there my friend. Sure it won't be long!— Jack Nicklaus (@jacknicklaus) March 11, 2018
THE 'TIGER' FACTOR
Woods has not won a major since 2008, while a number of poor outings in unsuccessful previous comebacks from injury have undoubtedly weakened the aura of a player once renowned for his ability to instil fear in his rivals.
Nevertheless, it remains to be seen how young stars such as Justin Thomas, Jon Rahm or Jordan Spieth would react if they found themselves going head-to-head with Woods over the closing holes next month.
The attention surrounding Tiger - from fans on and off the course - is unprecedented, as evidenced by the enormous crowds that followed his every move last week.
If Woods is in contention with nine holes to play at Augusta, the nerve of his fellow competitors would be tested to the extreme.
Tiger has repeatedly shown he can handle that pressure in the past. Can the same be said for his rivals?
The last three Masters champions have all been first-time major-winners, but it is instructive to note how often the same names crop up on leaderboards at Augusta.
Experience can clearly provide a significant advantage when it comes to plotting a successful assault on the only course to host a men's major every year.
Augusta's greens, in particular, are notoriously tough to adapt to, but Woods has conquered them on multiple occasions - his tally of four green jackets surpassed only by Jack Nicklaus.
Even though his last win there came in 2005, Woods has since finished in the top six at the Masters on seven out of nine appearances.
SPIETH AND RORY OUT OF FORM
US PGA Championship winner Thomas would appear to be the form horse as the Masters nears, while the recent performances of world number one Dustin Johnson have been encouraging, if not spectacular.
However, two perennial Masters contenders, Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy, will be hoping to see significant improvements in their respective games before arriving at Augusta.
Spieth - who claimed the green jacket in 2015 before sensationally throwing away the chance to retain his title 12 months later - missed the cut at the Valspar Championship after being grouped with Woods and has yet to finish higher than ninth this year.
And although McIlroy began 2018 strongly, with two top-three finishes on the European Tour, his four subsequent outings in the USA have yielded one 20th-placed finish, a tie for 59th and two missed cuts.
SHORT GAME SHARPNESS
Arguably Woods' lowest hour amid his succession of unhappy comebacks came in January 2015, when he ran up a shocking 82 at the Phoenix Open.
At that point, the standard of Tiger's chipping was the most alarming issue.
Woods had always been famed for his prowess around the greens, but looked to have lost all confidence in his short game in a painful performance.
Happily, a return to full fitness also appears to have enabled Woods to rediscover his golden touch in the scoring zone. His chipping has looked increasingly sharp in 2018 - epitomised by a superb hole-out on Saturday at Palm Harbor.

The Goop Lab: are you ready to go behind the scenes at Gwyneth Paltrow’s brand?
And you thought the jade egg was bonkers! Take a deep breath, says Harriet Walker
She has already appeared on the red carpet in an almost entirely see-through dress this month, and last week she launched a £58 scented candle named This Smells Like My Vagina that swiftly went viral. If Gwyneth Paltrow’s January wasn’t busy enough, this Friday marks the arrival of a Netflix series that goes behind the scenes at her weirdy-woo wellness brand, Goop.
From sex therapy to energy flow via magic mushrooms and psychic mediums, The Goop Lab takes the essence of Paltrow’s website-cum-apothecary — named after her initials and the fact that someone once told her that tech companies with a double-o in their name do well — and distils it into six half-hour slots. It’s the binge-watch algorithm embodied: A-list star, ridiculously attractive supporting

St. Louis Cardinals and Albert Pujols – a response
My colleague Steve Ungrey wrote earlier today about whether or not the St. Louis Cardinals miss first baseman Albert Pujols.
I’d like to respond to that.
The day that Albert Pujols left the Cardinals organization for the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim was a sad day for Cardinal Nation.
It may have been a good day for Pujols’ wallet but the facts are facts: The Cardinals just didn’t have the money to give Pujols for such a lengthy deal, especially when he was on the decline.
It can be said time and time again: the Cardinals don’t draft Michael Wacha or Stephen Piscotty during the 2012 MLB Draft without their preceding moves and decisions.
Well, I suppose they could have but who knows. They were the two players taken with the compensation picks given to the Cardinals for Pujols and this is something that will stay with them for the rest of their respective playing careers.
Entering Tuesday night’s game, Pujols was hitting .265/.333/.552 with a league-leading 23 home runs and 48 RBI during the 2015 season.
With 543 home runs, Pujols now ranks 16th all-time in home runs for his career. Passing Manny Ramirez at 555 career home runs for 14th all-time is doable this season.
The question is whether or not he passes Reggie Jackson‘s 563 career homers. It’s possible that Pujols can hit another 20 home runs. A 40-home run season is not out of the question.

Pujols finished the month of June with 13 home runs, one of his best single-month outputs in some time.
The other day, Hall of Fame baseball writer Rick Hummel wrote that Pujols has punched his Hall of Fame ticket.
This is probably true but I feel that Pujols punched it a few seasons ago. Right now, the future Hall of Famer is only padding his career statistics.
"Reminiscent of some of his greatest months as a Cardinal, Pujols, before the weekend, had slugged 12 homers and driven in 24 runs while batting .333 in the first 22 games of June. Counting the final four games of May, he had 15 homers and 30 RBIs in a 26-game span."
Hummel goes on to make his column about active players and their chances for the Hall of Fame including Miguel Cabrera (no-brainer), Ichiro Suzuki (no-brainer) and David Ortiz (being a DH hurts his chances).
Either way, one thing is clear – the Pujols signing (or lack thereof) altered St. Louis Cardinals history forever.

Miniaturized Power Electronic Interfaces for Ultra-compact Electromechanical Systems
MetadataShow full item record
Advanced and ultra-compact electromechanical (EM) systems, such as kinetic energy harvesting and microrobotic systems are deemed as enabling solutions to provide efficient energy conversion. One of the most critical challenges in such systems is to develop tiny power electronic interfaces (PEIs) capable of addressing power conditioning between EM devices and energy storage units. This dissertation presents technologies and topological solutions toward fabricating miniaturized PEIs to efficiently regulate erratic power/voltage for kinetic energy harvesting and drive high-voltage actuators for microrobotic systems. High-frequency resonant-switching topologies are introduced as power stages of PEIs that allow small footprint of the circuit without suffering from switching losses. Two types of bridgeless resonant ac-dc converters are first introduced and developed to efficiently convert arbitrary input voltages into a regulated dc output voltage. The proposed topologies provide direct ac-dc power conversion with less number of components, in comparison to other resonant topologies. A 5-mm×6-mm, 100-mg, 2-MHz and 650-mW prototype is fabricated for validation of capability of converting very-low ac voltages into a relatively higher voltage. A resonant gate drive circuit is designed and utilized to further reduce gating losses under high-frequency switching and light-load condition. The closed-loop efficiency reaches higher than 70% across wide range of input voltages and output powers. In a multi-channel energy harvesting system, a multi-input bridgeless resonant ac-dc converter is developed to achieve ac-dc conversion, step up voltage and match optimal impedance. Alternating voltage of each energy harvesting channel is stepped up through the switching LC network and then rectified by a freewheeling diode. The optimal electrical impedance can be adjusted through resonance impedance matching and pulse-frequency-modulation (PFM) control. In addition, a six-input standalone prototype is fabricated to address power conditioning for a six-channel wind panel. Furthermore, the concepts of miniaturization are incorporated in the context of microrobots. In a mobile microrobotic system, conventional bulky power supplies and electronics used to drive electroactive polymer (EAP) actuators are not practical as on-board energy sources for microrobots. A bidirectional single-stage resonant dc-dc step-up converter is introduced and developed to efficiently drive high-voltage EAP actuators. The converter utilizes resonant capacitors and a coupled-inductor as a soft-switched LC network to step up low input voltages. The circuit is capable of generating explicit high-voltage actuation signals, with capability of recovering unused energy from EAP actuators. A 4-mm × 8-mm, 100-mg and 600-mW prototype has been designed and fabricated to drive an in-plane gap-closing electrostatic inchworm motor. Experimental validations have been carried out to verify the circuit’s ability to step up voltage from 2 V to 100 V and generate two 1-kHz, 100-V driving voltages at 2-nF capacitive loads.

Before you start a treatment, your doctor will want to know the size of the tumor and how far it has spread in your body, called the stage of the cancer. There are five basic stages, 0 through IV, and a number of sub-stages. Staging is a way for doctors to describe your condition. xanax urine Tamoxifen and raloxifene have been shown to reduce the risk breast cancer, but they can have their own risks and side effects. Tamoxifen and raloxifene are the only drugs that are approved in the US to help lower the risk of breast cancer, although for some women, drugs called aromatase inhibitors might be an option as well. This means that they act against (or block) estrogen (a female hormone) in some tissues of the body, but act like estrogen in others. Estrogen can fuel the growth of breast cancer cells. Tamoxifen can be taken whether or not you have gone through menopause, but raloxifene is only approved for post-menopausal women. Both of these drugs block estrogen in breast cells, which is why they can be useful in lowering breast cancer risk. To lower the risk of breast cancer, these drugs are taken for 5 years. The effect of these drugs on breast cancer risk has varied in different studies. When the results of all the studies are taken together, the overall reduction in risk for these drugs is about 40% (more than a third). These drugs lower the risk of both invasive breast cancer and ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS). Although a medicine that cuts your risk by about 40% sounds like it must be a good thing, what it would really mean for you depends on how high your risk is in the first place (your baseline risk).

Tamoxifen Nolvadex, a hormone therapy drug, is used to treat breast cancers and to lower risk in women at high risk of breast cancer. Read about Tamoxifen side-effects here. Some types of breast cancer are affected by hormones in the blood. ER-positive and PR-positive breast cancer cells have receptors (proteins) that attach to estrogen, which helps them grow. There are different ways to stop estrogen from attaching to these receptors. Hormone therapy is a form of systemic therapy, meaning it reaches cancer cells almost anywhere in the body and not just in the breast. It's recommended for women with hormone receptor-positive (ER-positive and/or PR-positive) breast cancers, and it does not help women whose tumors are hormone receptor-negative (both ER- and PR-negative). Hormone therapy is often used after surgery (as adjuvant therapy) to help reduce the risk of the cancer coming back. Sometimes it is started before surgery (as neoadjuvant therapy) as well. Hormone therapy can also be used to treat cancer that has come back after treatment or that has spread to other parts of the body. It is usually given as an additional treatment following surgery, to reduce the risk of breast cancer returning in the same breast or a new breast cancer developing in either breast, or spreading somewhere else in the body. If you’re going to take tamoxifen as part of your treatment for primary breast cancer, your specialist will tell you when it’s best to start. Tamoxifen can be used to treat primary breast cancer.

New teen hangout balances fun, education
For Shari and Randy Campbell, a dream seven years in the making to provide a safe place for Sumner County high school students to hang out and help prepare them for adulthood has become a reality.
The idea to form a nonprofit organization aimed at accomplishing that goal started in 2007 while the Campbells were raising their two children.
"There are so many programs for kids all the way through middle school and then there is nothing," said Shari Campbell. "So, if you don't go to church or play sports, what do you do?"
The Campbells hope that the Sumner Teen Center will be that answer for local parents and teens by providing a safe, positive environment for students throughout the county to have fun and learn valuable life skills for the future.
Members of the community including county, city, education and business leaders were on hand Thursday for a ribbon-cutting to celebrate the opening of the new 4,000-square-foot facility at 976 Grassland Place in Gallatin. The center, which will open its doors beginning this Tuesday, is free for all Sumner County high school students and eighth-graders going into the ninth grade.
"We've all got kids we worry about, and if we don't do something about it we'll end up paying for it as a community," said Shari Campbell, founder of the nonprofit. "This is a healthy way to prevent that I hope. That's what we're here for."
In addition to being a place to hang out, play games or even enjoy live music, the center will also provide homework help, social and personal skill building, service learning volunteering, interviewing and job search tips as well as strength and passion assessment, among other services aimed to help prepare students for life after graduation.
"We're helping teens create a path to success and helping them determine what that means," said Randy Campbell, who serves as the president of the Sumner Teen Center. "Success doesn't mean the six-figure income and the two houses, it's really about fulfillment in their lives and we want to help them create a path to get there through having fun and being able to engage and explore different careers."
A 'safe haven' for teens
The Sumner Teen Center is not just an asset for student, but parents as well with plans to host monthly forums, topic driven roundtables as well as college/technical school connections and financial aid workshops.
Gallatin parent Patti Garner, who attended Thursday's ribbon cutting with her 11-year-old son Spencer, said the facility also provides a peace of mind for those with children.
"It's an awesome opportunity," Garner said. "It offers a safe haven for these kids to come and it gives them an alternative to some of the bad options that are out there in our community. If you can keep kids busy, occupied and stimulated then you keep them headed in the right direction."
But the nonprofit, non-religious organization can't do it on its own as it needs support from the county as well.
"We are depending on the community to support this," Shari said. "Grants and things come and go, but the businesses that are here paying taxes and private donations, we depend on them."
Shari hopes that by the time the Class of 2015 graduates, the positive impact of the facility and the work of its volunteers will be visualized.
"We want them to walk through their commencement knowing who they are and be confident in stepping out there and going for it," Shari said. "I want them to know where they're going when they get that diploma."

The Satyagrah Mandap near Gandhi Darshan Parisar, Rajghat, came alive with journalists and scholars, who gathered on Thursday to celebrate the setting up of Prabhash Parampara Nyas, a Trust in memory of Prabhash Joshi, late journalist and Chief Editorial Advisor of Jansatta, The Indian Express Group's Hindi daily.
Joshi was a Gandhian, activist and the founder-editor of Jansatta since 1983. He passed away on November 5 last year.
The event was organised to mark the first meeting of the Trust on his birthday, July 15. "He would have been 74 today," said Ashok Maheshwari of Rajkamal Publication.
A month after his demise, 30 friends, led by eminent Hindi critic Namvar Singh, decided to set up the Trust. "The Trust will carry on his work. He brought to light the issue of paid news and organised discussions," Joshi's son Sopan said.
The Trust will provide fellowships to students sharing an interest in subjects that appealed to Joshi, such as cricket. The chairperson of the Trust is Namvar Singh while journalist Ram Bahadur Rai, who runs Pratham Pravakta, is the secretary.
Other prominent names among the trustees are Justice P B Sawant, veteran leader Murli Manohar Joshi, journalists Kuldip Nayar and Rahul Dev, poet Ashok Vajpayee, Jansatta editor Om Thanvi, economist Amit Bhaduri and lyricist Javed Akhtar among others.
"Issues like Naxalism never figured in Delhi dailies. Prabhash Joshi brought them to the fore. He would give lectures in villages and people turned up in hordes to listen to him," said Harivansh, Chief Editor, Parbhat Khabar.
The evening also saw the release of three books by Rajkamal Publications: Ikkisvin Sadi, Pehla Dashak, a collection of essays published in Jansatta from 2000-2009 and Aage Andhi Gali Hai, a collection of essays published in Tehelka and Pratham Pravakta, a Hindi news magazine run by noted Hindi journalist Ram Bahadur Rai.

Nestled in a valley among lush mountains and the cobalt-blue Caribbean Sea, Sandals Saint Vincent and The Grenadines unlocks a new island destination for Sandals Resorts guests. It is scheduled to open on March 27, 2024.
At first glance, the resort looks like a picture postcard from a dream vacation. Is bringing an international, all-inclusive resort to a tropical paradise good for the island’s people and ecology? Sandals’ recent launch in Curacao may provide insight into this critical question.
In anticipation of the Sandals Royal Curacao opening in June of 2022, the resort partnered with AFC Ajax, a soccer team from Amsterdam, and local recycling company Limpi to develop the Future Goals soccer program. Providing nearly 100 goals and more than 600 soccer balls to the island’s children, the program’s focus on recycling, team building, and community has impacted nearly 50 schools across the island.
During the development of the program, Executive Chairman of Sandals Resort International Adam Stewart said, “Curacao is a new island for Sandals and a new opportunity to expand our impact — and ‘football’ is the soul of the Caribbean.”
The soccer goals were made of fishing nets sourced from the ocean and recycled plastic waste. Fishing nets lost at sea, also known as ghost nets, comprise nearly half the world’s “plastic soup” — a term for the accumulation of waste, including plastic, that ends up in the ocean and on the beaches of Curacao.
Stewart continued, “If we can give children the tools to play and in the process teach them about protecting our planet — that is a ‘goal’ in and of itself.” Since its inception in 1981, Sandals Resorts has taken an unparalleled approach to supporting the communities where it operates.
Sandals began its work in Curacao through its philanthropic arm, the Sandals Foundation. The foundation operates under three key pillars: education, environment, and community. Sustainable projects include coral reef restoration, tree and mangrove planting, marine sanctuaries, and beach cleanups. As of June 2022, they have helped rid the planet of over 440 tons of trash.
The Sandals Foundation
“Future Goals brilliantly encapsulates Sandals’ unwavering commitment to empower our islands in the Caribbean,” said Heidi Clarke, Executive Director of the Sandals Foundation. “Enveloping ourselves in the destination was part of the blueprint as we rolled out the plans for Sandals Royal Curacao — and a sign of our promise to generations to come.”
This past year, in particular, the Sandals Foundation focused much of its efforts on food security throughout the Caribbean. Across the world, food security remains a concern, and this is an even greater reality in the Caribbean islands as import-dependent economies are susceptible to international food supply-chain challenges.
Climate change has adversely affected traditional farming practices. To cultivate sustainable futures, the Sandals Foundation is committed to providing the skills and tools to create resilient food supply systems and food forests in local schools and communities by providing essential equipment and training and by investing in climate-smart farming techniques.
Island Inclusive Dining
The resort sought to deliver all-new experiences that drove the customer beyond the resort gates. One such program is Island Inclusive Dining, where qualified guests receive a $250 credit to dine out at select restaurants around Curacao.
Luke Mathot, Sandals’ Vice President of food and beverage product innovation, explains the motivation behind the Island Inclusive Dining initiative by saying, “We want our guests to feel the very magic we felt when picking Curacao as a new home for Sandals — from its landscapes to its flavors to its people — and everyone knows one of the most powerful ways to really understand a destination and its culture is through its food.”
Kome, one of the participating restaurants, states their sustainability practices on their website, “We take our commitment to sustainability seriously, using eco-friendly products and working directly with local farmers and artisans to reduce waste and ensure the freshest, highest quality ingredients for our dishes.”
Luuk Gerritsen, Kome’s General Manager, explains how they manifest this intention by working with as many local suppliers as possible for produce, like Hofi Cas Cora and Zen Farms. They only serve locally caught fish from self-employed fishermen. Most of their cleaning materials are organic and environmentally friendly, and they avoid single-use plastics.
These options aren’t always the cheapest, but the small things add up. “Since its inception, we’ve been a part of this program [Island Inclusive Dining],” says Gerritsen. “It gives us a way to reach the all-inclusive public with a higher spending budget.”
The “Sandals Effect”
Curacao relies heavily on the tourism sector, with 81% of its labor force working within the service industry, according to Country Reports. Increased tourism has an impact on the livelihoods of locals as more visitors provide not only more jobs, but also the opportunity for growth within organizations. As teams grow to support more customers, additional management opportunities arise.
The influx of tourism spending around the island of Curacao is stimulating the economy, and Curacao is on track to make history. In July 2023, a year after the opening of Sandals Royal Curacao, the island experienced its best-performing month so far, setting it on course to achieve a historic milestone of half a million annual visitors. Notably, 2023 also marks the first time stayover arrivals surpassed 300,000 in the first seven months of the year.
The opening of a resort touches almost every part of an island’s economy, from added business for taxi drivers to the supply chain. Many publications have called this the “Sandals Effect” because the company is keen on weaving itself into the community. It impacts the entire island, from youth soccer to job creation, a boost in arrivals, and much more. Judging from the impact in Curacao, Sandals will help keep Saint Vincent and The Grenadines beautiful and bountiful for generations to come.

Some people believe that exercising can help with a hangover, but you may be fatigued after a night out which can lead to dizziness, nausea and dehydration. It is less likely for you to be able to give it your all when your body is already at a low. Read more below!
There’s a common myth that ’sweating it out’ is the best thing for you on a hangover, with many swearing by their morning-after run or HIIT circuit. But how good is it to jump from wine bar to gym floor?
Does a hangover make exercise harder?
Personal trainer Janine George points out that when people experience a hangover they very often also suffer from dizziness, headaches and nausea. “This can make it very challenging to negotiate exercise. As well as having the potential to make some symptoms worse, working out when hungover is likely to restrict you from giving your best and could risk injury.”
“For an intense workout to be sustainable, you need substantial energy reserves and to be hydrated,” adds George. “This is not the case if you are suffering from a hangover.”
Rather, when hungover, “we are physically and mentally fatigued and less coordinated than usual,” says Obayuvana. “People often think they can sweat out the hangover, but the last thing you want to do is push the body to extremes when it is already low.”
Research supports this: a 2020 study published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine found that “hungover participants experienced significantly more exhaustion when performing physical activity at the same level as non-hungover participants.”
But while you might feel worse, does it do any damage? There is not a huge amount of research on this topic, but the general consensus is that your body is working really hard to get rid of toxins that are being broken down in your body. Intense movement adds another chore to its to-do list and is extra stress that your body probably won’t cope well with.
Plus, if you are already lacking in hydration, losing more fluid through sweat is never a good idea.
Can gentle exercise help hangover symptoms?
So sweating it out clearly isn’t the way forward. But Obayuvana explains that more gentle exercise can help alleviate symptoms. “A walk in fresh air or some gentle stretching can feel good when you feel run down,” she says.
This is George’s recommended mode of training for those suffering with a hangover, too. “A walk might be preferable to sitting down all day with the attempt to nurse the symptoms as movement allows your body to reconnect mentally and physically,” she says.
As alcohol is a physical stress on your body, activating your immune response, being gentle to your body is key to improve your hangover symptoms and have the most effective workout.

Crop Rotation for Rice and BananaJanuary 31, 2022
The rái and yellow but not the red varieties of mustard, khesári, the small black variety of peas, Bengal gram and lentils (the small variety) can all be sown as “pigeon crops” with paddy.
The rice is planted in Shrávańa, and then in the last week of Áshvina [[the “pigeon crop” is tossed into the field without tilling the soil or applying fertilizers.]] After the rice has been harvested, the “pigeon crop” remains in the field until maturity.
When “pigeon crops” are grown, only three instead of four paddy crops can be harvested in a year, but mixed crops can be cultivated. For example, cow pea may be planted with áus in the month of Aśádha.
After the áus paddy has been harvested, the cow pea stands alone in the field because it has a maturing period of nine months. During this period a second associate crop should be sown, preferably a fibre crop. In such cases the field will not yield four crops of paddy in a year. Other crops such as green gram, radish, onion and in certain seasons pisciculture do not interfere with four paddy harvests in a year.
The system for reaping four crops of rice per year is as follows. All varieties of paddy should stay one month, or one and a half months in unusual circumstances, in the nursery, and two and a half or three months in the field after being transplanted as seedlings.
The following system should be used for planting paddy:
- Half of Vaeshákha, Jyaeśt́ha, Aśáŕha and half of Shrávańa – áus paddy.
Plough the field six times in water by tractor. Plough four times in the first two days – two times the first day, two times the second day. Leave the field submerged in water for eight more days. Add organic fertilizers and compost. Plough again two more times. On the last ploughing use NPK (nitrogen, potassium and phosphate) fertilizers if appropriate.
While growing áus paddy, the soil should be wet but not waterlogged. Between every two áus plants, one rainy season radish should be sown. Radish may be sown in the áus field for the entire period. In a transplanted áus field, a “pigeon crop” of green gram may be sown. There should be no accumulation of water in the áus field – water should be able to move freely in and out of the field. Green gram is grown for the second two months. Of all the seasonal varieties of rice, áus paddy gives the lowest yield.
In the first week of Shrávańa the áus is harvested. Plough and fertilize the field again as above to prepare for the next crop.
- Half of Shrávańa, Bhádra, Áshvina and half of Kárttika – áman paddy.
No mixed crops can be grown with áman paddy but pisciculture may be cultivated. These fish can be a good animal food for carnivores. Fish such as charamach, koira, guri and rai mach may be produced – that is, small fish, crabs and prawns. For the production of rui or larger fish, a big pond is needed.
During the production of áman paddy there should always be a lot of water in the field. Of all the seasonal varieties of rice, áman paddy gives the highest yield. Its straw is also long and very useful in making mats and other products.
One month before the harvest in Áshvina, the seedlings of early boro paddy should be started. After the harvest, the field should again be prepared as above.
- Half of Kárttika, Agraháyańa, Paośa and half of Mágha – early boro paddy.
There should always be water in the field until the time of harvesting. If there is less rain, big onions or garlic can be planted between two early boro paddy plants. These big onions are the sprouted small onion (chachi piaz or sachi piaz) of the previous period. If there is more rain, pisciculture may be cultivated in the early boro field. In the first week of Mágha, the early boro paddy should be harvested.
Special care must be taken to acquire a big onion type which is a winter crop as they need less water. Green gram requires less water than onions. No “pigeon crop” can be grown with áman paddy because there is too much water in the field.
At this time the big onion seeds are not ready and the small onions cannot be planted under so much water. Care must be taken to ensure that the variety of onion used in the early boro field is the type that always remains above water. Onions need water, being 67% water themselves, but they cannot be inundated.
If irrigation water is not available after áman paddy, then the boro paddy should not be sown, but “pigeon crops” may be sown.
Except for áman paddy, there can be “pigeon crops” in every season. After the harvest, the field should again be prepared and fertilizers applied as above.
Boro paddy gives a medium yield compared to the other seasonal varieties of rice. The straw is fairly long, but animals do not like it. Green gram can be grown as a “pigeon crop” in the second two months of the early boro or late boro rotations.
- Half of Mágha, Phálguna, Caetra and half of Vaeshákha – late boro paddy.
Late boro is transplanted by the 15th of Mágha. Between every two boro plants, one small onion (chachi piaz) should be planted. Small onion is obtained from the seeds of big onion (boro piaz). Small onion takes four to five months to grow and should be developed in the nursery for the first one or two months before being transplanted.
Seeds from the big onions are used to produce small onions, and the onion tubers (kalik) from small onions are used to produce big onions. Big onions are used both as a vegetable and for seed production. If the big onions are to be harvested for marketing, then the stalk should be twisted down while it is green and about to flower. If this is done the onion grows to its maximum size.
Kusum flower can be planted as a boundary plant around the late boro field and can also be harvested. If there is enough water, pisciculture may be practiced with late boro and hot small onions.
All paddy requires clay soil. Where there is water in the field, care must be taken to ensure that the heads of the paddy stalks are not submerged.
The land between banana plants must not remain vacant. The following crops can be planted:
- Áśáŕha to Kárttika – turmeric and black gram.
- Agraháyańa to Mágha – sweet potato or sweet juice potato and winter chilli or winter brinjal.
The seedlings should be quite big.
- Phálguna to Jyaeśt́ha – peanut or ginger under the ground and sesame or soybean above the ground.
The crop rotation for spices should be as follows:
- Second half of Phálguna, Caetra, Vaeshákha and Jyaeśt́ha – ginger with soybean.
- Aśáŕha, Shrávańa, Bhádra, Áshvina and half of Kárttika – turmeric and black gram.
- Late Kárttika, Agraháyańa, Paośa, Mágha – late potato with candani and fenugreek on the mound (with the potatoes) and coriander, anise, and jiira in the canal. Dry and big winter chilli should also be grown in the canal. Big seedlings should be grown so that the plants flower within fifteen days after planting. For one week after planting, the seedlings should be covered with shade to avoid direct sunlight, but in the night they should not be covered.
Sugar crops include the following:
- Sugar cane
Sugar cane is of Indian origin and comes within the grass group. It is a medium-sized grass. The percentage of sugar produced differs from one variety to another.
Traditionally, sugar cane is planted just before winter, but this system is a bit defective. The best season for planting is the early spring in the month of Phálguna. The cuttings must be brought from at least twenty kilometres away, otherwise they will be prone to pests and disease.
If sugar cane is grown, it should be planted along with late boro paddy. In the month of Jyaeśt́ha, after harvesting boro paddy, the plants should be bundled up with the leaves of the sugar cane. The place between two sugar cane plants may be utilized either for green gram, which grows in sixty days, peanuts, or maize of the taller variety. In the month of Aśádha, after removing the grass, the vacancy between two sugar cane plants may be utilized for growing turmeric. Turmeric requires half sunlight and half shade. It will grow well in sugar cane fields. In the month of Kárttika, after harvesting the turmeric, if a place remains between two sugar canes, it may be utilized for producing sweet potato or sweet juice potato.
- Sugar beet
Sugar beet is an all-season crop, but in India it is grown only in the winter season between Áshvina and Phálguna. It may be grown along with potato between two potato plants on the upper portion of the valley, that is, on the mound. The lower portion of the mound may be utilized for growing winter spices. Sugar beet may be produced both with early potato (Áshvina to Agraháyańa) or late potato (Pauśa to Phálguna).
- Sweet potatoes
The space between sweet potatoes can be used to cultivate soybeans, cabbage and winter brinjal. The early variety of sweet potato can be grown from Áshvina to Agraháyańa, and the late variety from Pauśa to Phálguna. Green chilli may also be grown, but green chilli is three year crop. In the first year there is a good crop, in the second year there is a medium crop, and in the third year there is a very low crop. For example, if in the first year the production is taken as 100%, in the second year it will be reduced to 40% and in the third year to only 10% to 15%. So it is best that after the second year the old plants are replaced. Cauliflower should not be planted along with the creeping crops. It requires direct sunlight and the creepers will cover it. Cabbage, because it needs less direct sunlight, can be grown along with the creeping tuber vegetables.
After harvesting late sweet potato, select varieties of arum, along with summer creepers like pumpkin, gourd, bitter gourd, water gourd, cucumber, musk melon, watermelon, spinach, etc. should be planted. From Aśáŕha to Bhádra, the land may be utilized for áus paddy, maize, jute, rainy season brinjal or spinach, rainy season chilli, rainy season beans and rainy season creeping vegetables like pumpkin, gourd, etc. A platform must be used in case of such vegetables. In the winter or summer, a platform may or may not be used.
The crop rotation for sugar crops should be as follows:
- Áshvina to Agraháyańa – The early variety of sweet potato or sweet juice potato.
- Paośa to Phálguń – The late variety of sweet potato or sweet juice potato.
- Caetra to Jyaeśt́ha – Arum associated with summer creeper.
- Áśáŕha to Bhádra – Áus paddy, maize, jute rainy season brinjal and rainy season creeping vegetables.
The crop rotation for jute should be as follows:
- Vaeshákha – The jute seeds are sown in a seed bed.
- Áśáŕha – The seedlings of jute and the seedlings of áus paddy are transplanted. They will both be harvested in Shrávańa.
- After this autumn maize can be planted (a two-month crop) along with soybean or radish. Maize and soybean are both harvested in the end of Áshvina. Radish would be left in the field a little longer before harvesting.
- Winter crops are planted later, and include wheat, winter vegetables and linseed. Linseed is harvested at the end of winter, in Phálguna. After growing linseed, dhaiṋca must be sown for two months and then plowed into the soil as green manure because linseed takes so much out of the soil. In Vaeshákha, jute and áus paddy can start again.
Poor farmers will be benefited if they adopt such a system, and so will society.
Amongst all the types of culture of the physical stratum, agriculture is the best. We must encourage and develop agriculture.
