Aerostar Drone Solutions has developed a procedure for utilizing UAV’s to help locate potential areas of CUI (Corrosion Under Insulation).
CUI accounts for approximately 40% of all corrosion related costs in North America. This type of corrosion is typically caused by moisture becoming trapped beneath process insulation. If left undetected this could lead to catastrophic failures on process piping, surface pipelines, tanks and pressure vessels. Conventional methods for detection typically rely on historical failures and insulation removal in suspected areas.
Aerostar’s UAV technology incorporates Thermal/IR technology to find areas where the insulation has become degraded due to moisture being trapped. These areas can then be investigated further to help determine if CUI has started and perform NDT to identify the extent of it. This helps our customers eliminate the guessing at where they could be at risk for CUI. Aerostar has performed this type of inspection for many of our customers and was the first in North America to utilize UAV technology for CUI detection.
In addition, as part of this inspection Aerostar can help provide an assessment on the current condition of the insulation allowing for our customers to plan and budget for replacement in the future. This is particularly beneficial for Surface Pipelines in SAGD Operations.
Some examples of CUI detection are shown below.
Insulation Breakdown on Tank Walls
Insulation Degradation on a Tank Roof
Varying Degrees of Insulation Degradation on Surface Pipelines
Aerostar Drone Solutions is one of the leading UAV Inspection companies in North America servicing the Oil & Gas and Petrochemical Industries. All our UAV Pilots have Advanced UAV Certification by Transport Canada and Part 107 Certification by the FAA in the United States.

Join the historic first lap of the One Ocean Expedition, Statsraad Lehmkuhl's very first circumnavigation of the globe! After a grand departure from Arendal, Norway, we set sail for sunny Spain. Everyone can sail with us - no previous experience is required!
Sailing and sunbathing
For eight days you can enjoy sailing and sunbathing on an exciting ocean voyage to the beautiful city of La Coruña on the northwest coast of Spain. The journey takes us over the North Sea, through the English Channel and across the Bay of Biscay to La Coruña.
It´s a wonderful experience sailing south towards Southern Europe! The ship and the people fall into their own rhythm out at sea. We sail the ship together and we share all the great nature experiences with each other. Without internet coverage, the voyage is also a delightful "detox" from everyday focus on smartphones and constant availability.
As we sail south, the climate becomes milder and the temperature rises. And the further south, the more comfortable the temperature becomes - remember to bring sunscreen!
La Coruña offers it´s visitors lovely beaches, historical sites and a wonderful taste of the Spanish food culture.
Everyone is welcome
Everyone is welcome on the Statsraad Lehmkuhl, regardless of age and previous sailing experiences. You do not have to worry if this is your first encounter with a tall ship! Our skilled and friendly permanent crew will teach you how to participate in sailing maneuvers, mend the helm, set the sail, pull the ropes, climb the rigging (voluntary) and many other skills.
As a trainee on Norway´s biggest sailing ship, you will become an important part of the crew on board. In fact, without the efforts of our trainees, it is not possible to sail a large ship such as Statsraad Lehmkuhl!
In addition to fantastic nature experiences, the extraordinary surroundings and the activities on board provide a sense of achievement quite out of the ordinary.
A unique unity
Surrounded by the sea, a unique unity is created on board that becomes part of you, even long after the journey is over. We do our watches together, eat our meals together, take care of one another and sleep side by side in hammocks, as sailors have done for centuries. Cut off from the rest of the world, it´s not just the excitement of rig climbing and the thrill of sailing that make an impression. It´s the people, the interaction and the relationships that are created between them that often make the strongest impression. Many of the friendships created aboard lasts for life.
An environmentally friendly adventure
An adventure with Statsraad Lehmkuhl is an environmentally friendly way of travelling, since nearly 70% of our voyages are completed under sail each year. And with our newly installed revolutionary hybrid battery solution, Statsraad Lehmkuhl is becoming the world´s most environmentally friendly sailing ship in its class.
The ship Statsraad Lehmkuhl
Statsraad Lehmkuhl was built in Germany in 1914 and is one of the largest, oldest and fastest tall ships in the world. She has served as a training vessel under the Norwegian flag for a century, and we take pride in keeping her in top condition. Sailing this magnificent ship is truly a unique experience. The very special atmosphere and feelings of friendship, seamenship and teamwork guarantee you memories for life.
PS: Recommendation for the voyage: Lie on your back out on deck in the evening and look up at the starry sky. Out on the ocean, with no other disturbing light, the stars come out in a very special way. Accompanied only by the sounds of the sails and the creaking of the ship, these are truly moments of magic!
Welcome on board as the first trainees on Statsraad Lehmkuhl´s only circumnavigation of the world!

The roads were perfectly tarred. The markers were perfectly aligned. Street lights were light exotic lamps spread out equidistant along every street, never failing to light up at twilight. Speed limits were spelt out and adhered to. The lawns were a perfect green, tempting you to lie on them and bathe in the sun if only it was actually up there. Well, it was indeed up there, very far away, hidden away by the thick clouds, its effect completely quelled by the chilling breeze.
The apartments were well managed, regularly cleaned. Everything was paid for, nothing free. Even the smiles from security men and receptionists were “part of the service”. After all, they were taught to make sure the “customer” was always happy. The customer paid for the smiles like he paid for everything else. The sound-proof walls were sealed; making the streets like half-ghost-towns. Once in a while, a car passed by, a fellow or two walked by. You could not have imagined the amount of noise within the walls of that mall we so often went to. You could not have guessed the number of people in the fourteen story apartment building.
Everyone minded their own business – European Hellenization of Africa. The community was swallowed up by individuality. Those who were nice to you were almost always paid to be nice to you. Often, you were the payer and you were at their shop. I mused about how many lonely, depressed and unhappy some folks could be, locked up behind sealed walls and sound-proof walls in their lavishly furnished apartments. I mused about how many of the “love pairs” I ever so often saw were merely make-belief relationships fighting the loneliness deep in their souls, attempting to find meaning in physical intimacy alone.
You see, humans were created to need family, and community. Some seeks to replace that need with gadgets or social media, keeping people far away enough not to hurt you but close enough to meet your own need for attention. The people around you are your cook, your cleaner, tablet, cell phone, computer and possibly your pet. The people that accompany you are your car and your driver, behind sealed glasses rushing early to spend eight to twelve hours daily with other lonely souls at work. It becomes obvious that the living things closest to you are often paid to be close to you. The 21st Century City.


Samsung became the third largest smartphone SoC vendor globally in 2019
Qualcomm has been the dominant player in the smartphone SoC vendor market for much of the last decade. MediaTek has long performed the role of providing cheaper SoCs in the smartphone market. Samsung and Huawei’s HiSilicon, on the other hand, make custom SoCs that are intended for use in their own smartphones. Samsung System LSI’s Exynos SoCs were used only by Samsung Mobile’s phones, for example, while HiSilicon’s Kirin chips are used in Huawei and Honor phones. In 2019, this equation changed as Samsung System LSI started selling Exynos chips to other vendors such as Motorola and Vivo. This has helped the company achieve the position of being the third largest smartphone application processor (AP) vendor globally in 2019, according to a report by Counterpoint Research.
Counterpoint Research has released its latest quarterly handset report. According to the report, Samsung Electronics and HiSilicon were the only vendors among the top smartphone SoC vendors to see positive share growth in 2019, while Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Apple all saw declines.
Qualcomm remained the top vendor of application processors, despite suffering a 1.6% decline through the year. It still accounts for one-third of smartphone AP shipments in 2019. Its shares exceeded 30% in all markets except Middle East & Africa (MEA), where lower demand for high-end phones tempered demand for Qualcomm chips in comparison to other markets. This is because Qualcomm’s chips are traditionally more expensive than MediaTek’s chips, for instance.
MediaTek also saw a slight decline in its market share in 2019, while maintaining its second-place position. It had strong performance in markets like MEA, India, and Southeast Asia, with the demand being driven by low-to-mid-end phones. The company achieved one-quarter market share of global smartphone AP sales.
Huawei (HiSilicon), on the other hand, saw its market share decline in many markets outside China due to the US trade ban. Ironically, the company was able to offset these issues by “significantly expanding presence and share” in its domestic market of China.
Samsung performed particularly well in Europe, India, and Latin America, and its market share increased in other regions such as North America as well. Counterpoint Research notes that competition between these AP vendors intensified in 2019, as the focus was getting the balance right between processing speeds and price. Samsung’s share increased by 2.2% year-over-year in a declining market. However, the company outsourced some of its A-series smartphone manufacturing to Chinese ODMs since the last year, and Counterpoint says this will drive some share gains for Qualcomm and MediaTek. Also, the rising proliferation of 5G phones in the US and China will increase Samsung’s dependence on Qualcomm chips in its flagship and high-tier phones in these regions. (Currently, the company relies on Snapdragon chips for the North American/Chinese/Japanese/South Korean/Latin American variants of the Galaxy S20 series, which are sold only in a 5G configuration. The Exynos 990 global variants are further bifurcated into 5G and 4G variants.)
Counterpoint further noted that Samsung is horizontally scaling with an aim to sell its 5G SoCs to Chinese brands this year, in order to help drive Exynos chip volumes in 2020. (The Vivo X30 and X30 Pro feature the company’s upper-tier Exynos 980 SoC, for example.) Samsung is also increasingly adopting its Exynos chips across its own portfolio designed and manufactured in-house for global regions except for the US/Japan/China. Therefore, the company estimates Samsung’s overall share of the smartphone application processor market to grow further in 2020.
5G will be an important part of the story as well. 5G integrated chips with support for sub-6GHz networks will start to factor in as a competitive advantage, according to Counterpoint. Examples of such chips include the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765, MediaTek Dimensity 1000/L, and the MediaTek Dimensity 800. These chips reduce power consumption by reducing the need for an external 5G modem, and they also take up less space within the phone. Counterpoint estimates the cheapest 5G phone to be powered by an integrated 5G chip to go to sub-$300 prices in the second half of 2020, as vendors from HiSilicon, Qualcomm, MediaTek, Samsung, and even Unisoc are all pushing. In the premium segment, however, discrete 5G modem solutions will continue to be seen in the upcoming 5G iPhones as well as the Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 + X55 modem-powered flagship Android phones.

As part of the Litter Strategy for England, the Government has established the independent Voluntary and Economic Incentives working group. In autumn last year this working group held a call for evidence on measures to reduce littering of drinks containers and promote recycling. This included seeking evidence on the costs, benefits and impacts of deposit and reward and return schemes. The working group analysed responses to this call for evidence and provided advice to Ministers on potential incentives for drinks containers, including plastic bottles this month., Ministers are now considering the working group’s report.
The Waste and Resources Action Programme and industry led Consistency Framework has a vision that all households in England are able to recycle the same core set of materials, including plastic bottles. The waste hierarchy places prevention at the top as it offers the best outcome for the environment, followed by preparing for reuse, recycling, other recovery (which includes energy from waste, via incineration) and then disposal. Landfill should only be considered as a last resort.
The Litter Strategy sets out our aim to clean up the country and deliver a substantial reduction in litter and littering within a generation. The Litter Strategy brings together communities, businesses, charities and schools to bring about real change by focusing on three key themes: education and awareness, improving enforcement, and better cleaning and access to bins. A copy of the Litter Strategy can be found at www.gov.uk/government/publications/litter-strategy-for-england.
As marine litter is a transboundary problem we work with other countries to address it, particularly through the Oslo and Paris Conventions for the Protection of the Marine Environment of the North-East Atlantic, G7, G20 and the UN Environment Programme.

The University Grants Commission (UGC) Chairman, Jagadesh Kumar said that an announcement regarding the National Digital University will be made soon.
According to Kumar, currently the online programmes provide a window of opportunity to many students who are unable to join physically in a college or University. Similarly, there is a steady increase in the number of enrolments in online programmes.
“However, this will pick up further once we announce the National Digital University together with flexible online education regulations,” tweeted Kumar.
The UGC chairman further said that there is a need to take advantage of modern digital technologies to prepare engaging digital content and reach out to students using growing internet availability. This needs to be done at an affordable cost so that students can access high quality education and become skilful and knowledgeable.
Earlier, the UGC released an important public notice advising students and public not to be misled by advertisements for online PhD programmes offered by EduTech Companies in collaboration with Foreign Educational Institutes.
Sharing statistics, the UGC chairman said 66 Higher Educational Institutions are recognised/entitled to offer 371 programmes out of which Central, deemed to be university, state, private universities offer 21, 166, 112 and 72 programmes respectively.
Around 72,400 students including both Indians and foreign nationals are currently enrolled in 345 programmes offered by universities across the country. This is a 179 per cent jump from last year's 25,905 students, said Kumar. There has been 20,37,676 students enrolled across 86 HEIs and 1078 programmes as compared to 14,38,101 students in the last academic year.
This will enable the students to become more employable in the emerging job market and has the added advantage of increasing the gross enrolment ratio. pic.twitter.com/upYVYNbWcy— Mamidala Jagadesh Kumar (@mamidala90) October 28, 2022

The wedding at the beautiful Millhouse in Slane, Co Meath, was planned in 2021. One of my favourite wedding venues in Co Meath. An Exclusive Georgian Manor House in less than an hour’s drive from Dublin. The Millhouse Wedding Venue is an enchanting and idyllic location nestled in the heart of the beautiful countryside in County Meath, Ireland.
Eimear had reached out to me less than a year before the wedding day to check my availability. Luckily, I was available and could not have asked for better individuals to photograph. Eimear was such sunshine and so much energy that the day went in a glimpse, full of positivity, happy smiles, and few tears.
The manicured lawns and beautiful backdrops of rustic Millhouse give endless photo opportunities, and as far as the overall flow of the day, for guests and the newlyweds, the venue is perfectly designed to have your best day ever being a closed gate where you and your loved ones can have a celebration in style.
Morning preparations were nice and dynamic, where the bride was already getting her makeup and hair done while the groom was making his way to the venue, to get ready.
The couple wanted to do first look before the ceremony as the wedding ceremony was not until 2:30pm and this was also an opportunity to get some photos done before the cemeony, so that we spend less time after the ceremony for taking photos and more time at the reception with guests.
The ceremony, as usual, was fantastic and full of happy emotions. After the ceremony, Confetti exit was organised using organic flower petals
Bridal Portraits, photos
For the bridal portraits, and bride and groom photos, we went around the Millhouse Wedding Venue and took advantage of the picturesque locations around the property.
The wedding reception at the Millhouse was outside and inside, where wedding guests could enjoy Live music and drinks. The Evening music was provided by Mixtape wedding band
Wedding Venue Information
To ensure a seamless experience, the venue also provides professional wedding coordinators who work closely with their couples to bring their dream weddings to life. The wedding venue encapsulates romance and elegance with a touch of rustic architecture.

"And not draining right."
Whenever the washing machine would drain, the downstairs toilet would bubble and burble.
So, this morning we called the plumber (Southwest Plumbing) and told them our tale of woe, and they came out a little before noon to fix it. Which involved snaking the drain via an access pipe that is in our front foundation bed. We used to wonder what that pipe sticking up out of the ground was for. It turns out that probably all of yesterday while I was doing laundry, soapy water was overflowing into the foundation bed. I was inside and didn't notice. The pipe was capped. No, the pipe used to be capped. When we went outside this morning with the plumber to check it out, the cap was on the ground beside the pipe, where the water welling up into the bed had forced it.
But snaking that pipe didn't help. The snake went backwards into the pipes under the house, in our crawlspace, which shook the house, instead of out toward the street, where the plug was.
So the plumber went into the crawlspace under the house, through a small munchkin-size door under our back porch. He had two snakes, one that was quite long, and another smaller one that was about 50 feet, which is long enough to get to the street from the front of our house. He couldn't fit the larger, longer one through the access door into the crawlspace. And it turned out the clean-out was, like, welded shut or something. So he had to install a new cleanout under the house in the crawlspace. And he snaked the pipes out to the street from there.
But it still didn't work. The pipes weren't draining. He needed to dig that access pipe up (the one in my foundation bed) and see where it went. And what was wrong with it. And why it wasn't draining.
That's how I ended up with a hole in the ground, surrounded by Caution tape.
And a big pile of dirt on tarps.
And dug-up shrubs.
And some buried perennials.
And some lovely lawn art painted on the grass. Fortunately, they all start with the word "No." As in "No PSE" (Puget Sound Energy) "No C.B.L." (City of Bonney Lake) Meaning it's ok to dig to China there.
Aren't they pretty colors? I like color in the garden, but I prefer that it come from flowers or foliage.
They're coming back tomorrow. And they're bringing a camera to stick down in the pipe.
Fun, fun, fun!

According to the data released by China Securities Journal before the end of October this year, the value of the stock market was over There are 12,079 accounts with a value of 100 million yuan, an increase of 1,010 from the end of last month. This is also the first time that the data has rebounded after four consecutive months of decline. However, judging from other data, in the rebound since October, not much OTC funds entered the market, and more of the game of stock funds.
According to data from China Securities Journal, there were 12,079 accounts with a stock market value of over 100 million yuan at the end of October, which has returned to the level at the end of July. Generally speaking, there are three possible reasons for the rebound in the data. One is the market rise, the second is the increase of stock funds, and the third is the entry of over-the-counter funds.
However, other relevant data show that the October rebound may be more of an over-the-counter capital game. First look at the bank-securities transfer data. According to the statistics of the Investor Protection Fund, the net outflow of bank-securities transfers in October was 143.5 billion yuan, continuing the net outflow from August to September.
Moreover, the stock margin does not seem to be bought. The margin balance at the end of October was 21203 trillion yuan, higher than the 1980.7 billion yuan at the end of September.
Secondly, the data released by the Fund Association on the 18th showed that the scale of public funds (stock hybrid funds) that invested in A shares was 2.56 trillion yuan in October, an increase of 253.9 billion yuan from September, an increase of 11% from the previous month. It is basically the same as the 10.80% increase in the Shanghai Stock Exchange Index in October, which means that the funds to enter the market from the fund channel are also very limited.
In October, one of the more obvious incremental funds is the two financing funds. At the end of October, the financing balance of the two cities was 1030.17 billion yuan, an increase of 126.12 billion yuan from the 904.05 billion yuan at the end of September. However, this incremental figure is not as good as the net outflow of margin for the month (143.5 billion).
However, since November, over-the-counter funds have begun to show signs of entry. Last week (November 9-13), a net inflow of securities margin was 35.1 billion yuan, ending two consecutive weeks of net outflow. In November, a total net inflow of 27.8 billion yuan. The balance of the two financings has also increased to 119.447 billion yuan on the 17th, an increase of 164.3 billion yuan from the end of October.
Shen Wan Hongyuan Strategy Analyst Wang Sheng believes that the current incremental capital is mainly It comes from asset allocation institutions such as bank asset management and insurance, and at the same time, it has driven private equity funds to break through neutral positions and continue to increase positions (a considerable number of private equity near the liquidation line seize deterministic opportunities to increase positions is an important reason). Incremental funds are relatively rational, and the willingness to chase high is not strong. Therefore, the current market characteristics are different from the market characteristics of public funds that tend to continue to increase their positions and strengthen the trend when they obtain incremental funds.
28,000 large households have returned to the stock market
Since June, the stock market has plummeted. Investors have no choice but to withdraw. A large number of large households worth tens of millions or even more than 100 million have faded out . Today, investors are on the way back again. Statistics from the China Securities Depository and Clearing Corporation show that compared with the end of September, the number of large households holding a stock market value of more than 5 million yuan increased by about 28,000, of which there were 397 more super large households with a market value of more than 100 million yuan.
The number of large households increased by 24% from the previous month
Entering October, the A-share market will end the monthly K-line with 4 consecutive Yin Situation, ushered in a long-lost rebound, China SettlementThe newly released October statistical monthly report shows that the average closing point of the Shanghai Composite Index that month was 3342.48 points, an increase of 214.48 points from the previous month, an increase of 6.86%, and the average closing point of the Shenzhen Composite Index was 1948.76 points, an increase of 13.76% from the previous month. The average daily trading volume and value of the Shanghai and Shenzhen stock exchanges both increased significantly. Among them, the average daily trading value of the Shanghai stock market increased by 34.25% from the previous month. The average daily turnover in Shenzhen Stock Exchange increased by 69.88% month-on-month.
The data also showed that in October, 1.0642 million new investors entered the market in the two cities. The asset scale of investor accounts turned from negative to positive month-on-month. The number of large and super large households with a market value of more than 5 million yuan has rebounded significantly.
According to the distribution of investor market value at the end of October, the number of large investors with a circulating market value of more than 5 million yuan has increased significantly. The number of individual investors ranging from 5 million to 10 million yuan is 90,722, and 4,393 are institutional investors; in the range of 10 million to 100 million yuan, there are 49,075 individual investors and 10,816 institutional investors; individual investors with more than 100 million yuan 3843 and 8,236 institutional investors. From the perspective of large investors who can represent the trend of retail investors, the total number of listed value of 5 million yuan that month reached 143,640. This data represents an increase of 27,841, or 24%, from 115,799 at the end of September.
Compared with September, the number of individual investor accounts in the market value range of 5 million yuan to 10 million yuan increased by 17,410, and the market value range of 10 million yuan to 100 million yuan increased by 10,034. Super large households with a market value of more than 100 million yuan This has increased by 397.
There are still 100,000 large households diving
According to the statistical reports of China Clearing in each month of this year, in May this year, the number of large and super large households in the two cities The number has reached its peak, and the number of accounts with a market value of more than 5 million yuan is as high as 238,770. The decline began in June, with the largest decline in July—the number of accounts with a market value of more than 5 million yuan plummeted from 209,656 at the end of June to 152,513 at the end of July. The decline reached 27% that month, and 57,143 super accounts disappeared.
In the following two months, the number of large households continued to decrease, with 125,472 at the end of August and 115,799 at the end of September. Based on this calculation, in the four months since June, as many as 122,971 super accounts have faded out of the stock market. Even with 143,640 in October, compared with the peak in May, the number of large accounts still differs by 95,130.
Market analysts believe that these big players may take the initiative to close their hands, or their market value may shrink and fall back to the middle. Although the market rebounded in October, the previous heavy losses left big investors with lingering fears, and most of the funds are still waiting to see.
QFII only opened one account in October
Compared with individual investors, institutional investors entered the market more hesitantly in October, the 46th consecutive There are QFIIs that have newly opened A-share accounts every month, and only one new account was opened in October.
ChinaClear's October statistics monthly report shows that the number of A-share accounts opened by institutions such as public placement, special account, private placement, QFII, RQFII, etc. all declined compared with September. Among them, the number of public fund account openings has been declining in the second half of the year. The number of newly opened accounts from July to October was 1,571, 1,201, 925, and 785, respectively. Although QFII has opened a new A-share account for 46 consecutive months, it only opened a new A-share account in the Shenzhen Stock Exchange in October, indicating that the account opening enthusiasm is not high. In addition, the Social Security Fund did not open new A-share accounts in October, 12 new RQFIIs, 34 new enterprise annuities, 49 new insurance, and 142 new trusts. (Beijing Youth Daily, Qi Yanbing)

The following Topics and Sub-Topics are covered in this chapter and are available on MSVgo:
One of the most important facets of a person’s existence is their health. Being unable to carry out usual day-to-day tasks due to a lack of wellbeing or fitness can hinder you from living a normal life.
An illness is an irregular condition that affects an individual. There are also psychiatric disorders characterized by a pathological mechanism and a set of symptoms.
Any illness has a cause. However, some illnesses are impossible to detect due to their perplexing signs. Autoimmune, viral, cancerous, digestive, sexually transmitted, and other disorders are possible. Antibiotics, other drugs, and surgical procedures may all be used to treat them.
Antibiotics are components that stop bacteria from using their biochemical mechanisms to induce disease. However, these are ineffective against viral infections since viruses depend on the host’s biochemical pathways.
When we feel something is wrong in our organs or organ systems, it could mean that we are ill or have a disorder. Our body’s natural working is disturbed as a result of this. When we have an illness, our bodies send us clues. These are called symptoms. Headache, cold, cough and nausea are some of the typical symptoms.
There are two groups of diseases:
These are those that last for only a limited duration, such as a few days or a few weeks. Chickenpox, typhoid and the common cold are a few examples of acute illness.
These are those that last for an extended period, or sometimes for the rest of a person’s life? Cancer and HIV are a few examples.
Diseases may have a variety of immediate causes:
Here are a few suggestions for leading a safe and disease-free life:
When we get ill, we follow a set of procedures to cure the illness. An illness may be treated in one of two ways:
Reduce the disease’s effects: Medicines are provided to alleviate discomfort or lower the temperature. To put it another way, symptomatic therapy may lessen the severity of a disease, but it may not completely cure it. Since certain illnesses, such as the common cold, do not have a remedy, managing the effects will relieve the pain or infection to some degree.
Kill the disease: Using antibiotics that can destroy bacteria and kill the disease’s source. Each microbe goes through a unique biochemical life process that aids in its survival. Certain medications that block these biochemical pathways may aid in the killing of the disease-causing microorganism. Antibiotics are useful in this situation.
In this chapter, we learned about the reasons behind falling ill. We learned about different types of diseases. We gathered knowledge on how to treat and prevent diseases.
1. Why do we fall ill class 9 Ncert?
Immediate and contributory factors are the two primary causes of illness. The species that invade our bodies and trigger illness are the immediate cause. Viruses, protozoa, and viruses, for example. Contributory causes: These are the reasons that allow these species to invade our bodies—for example, contaminated food or water.
2. Why do we fall ill principles of treatment?
To lessen the impact of illness, we provide care that alleviates symptoms. For example, we may use pain relievers, anti-inflammatory drugs and bed rest to alleviate fever.
3. What is the major drawback of principles of treatment?
The only disadvantage of the treatment theory is that treatment can vary where specific signs and symptoms are not present, resulting in a variety of side effects.
4. What is the first principle of treatment?
The ideals of treatment are to lessen the symptoms, thereby reducing the effects of the disease.
5. What are the principles of the prevention of diseases?
MSVgo is your one-stop solution for learning Why do we Fall Ill? It helps you learn through simple, interactive, and explanatory visualizations. Just try it for yourself once, and we’re sure you will enjoy this interactive mode of learning.

Meeting a rebel commander in Aleppo
Since the conflict in Syria began 18 months ago, more and more civilians have been drawn into the fighting - and in Aleppo I met a businessman whose experience of torture in custody has turned him into a determined rebel commander.
"The question shouldn't be 'Were we tortured?' it should be 'When weren't we?'"
Dr Abdul Raouf used to be part of Aleppo's successful and wealthy business elite.
But as the Syrian revolution started to grip the country he turned his attention to politics, meeting secretly with others to call for change.
That was when he was arrested.
I met three members of his secret group on the outskirts of Aleppo this week.
Syria's second city has gone from being a bystander in a growing protest movement, to the key battleground in a vicious civil war.
What drives these men is the six months they spent in the hands of the feared Air Force Intelligence unit.
"Let's start with Al Khazouk," says Dr Raouf.
He went on to describe this particular form of torture, which involved having a stick forced into him.
The other men nodded."Every Syrian knows what Al Khazouk is," they agreed.
He then demonstrated having electrical wires attached to his chest and genitals. He talked about the beatings, having his ribs broken.
These methods appear to be so frighteningly common that the way they described them was almost casual.
In fact, between swirls of smoke from the doctor's pipe, the men joked and chuckled while telling the most horrific stories.
But at one point he lost his temper, jabbing the air with his finger, crying, "Wallahi" - "I swear to God".
He was describing being forced to watch a woman prisoner being raped in front of him and being told by the guards, "We'll do this to your wife unless you tell us what we want to know."
Dr Raouf said that before they were arrested, the group had long discussions about whether they should get some sticks to defend themselves during protests.
"But when we were released, we decided to buy every weapon we could afford," he said.
Today the civil protest movement has become a civil war in which as many as 30,000 people have been killed, according to opposition activists.
The violence has continued to escalate with September being the bloodiest month so far. Desperate times have bred desperate men.
We were sitting in front of one rebel base in the south when a fighter jet roared overhead.
We went around the back of the building to try to film the plane.
Several fighters were gathered there and they eyed us suspiciously.
"Who are you? What are you doing here?" they asked.
This was a tight-knit group that kept itself apart from the others.
Some had long beards and flowing robes, a few appeared to be foreigners and they were clearly unhappy to see foreign journalists.
We were escorted back to the front of the building where we were told we should not film the men, not even talk to them.
We discovered later that this was Jabhat al-Nusra, a radical group of armed jihadis suspected by some of having links to al-Qaeda. They claim to have carried out a number of large-scale bombings across Syria.
There are no reliable figures for how many members they have, nor how many extremists and foreign jihadis have entered Syria altogether.
Some estimate they make up as much as 10% of rebel fighters in Aleppo.
In reality there are probably just a few hundred of them but they operate in the most dangerous areas. They use the uncompromising tactics of militant groups elsewhere and their numbers are growing.
While we were in Aleppo there was a series of massive co-ordinated bomb attacks against government buildings that left dozens of people dead and many more injured. Jabhat al-Nusra said they did it.
"The Islamist groups are helping us get our rights while the West is just watching," says Dr Raouf.
He has made a pact with the militants and believes they will accept a secular, democratic government and lay down their weapons when the conflict is over.
Some may be sceptical of that.
The doctor then left to visit his men on the frontlines.
Commanders on both sides are now actively targeted for assassination and what he did not know was that someone was tracking his vehicle. Someone wanted him dead.
As he drove on to an open stretch of road, a fighter jet moved in and opened fire on his car leaving him badly wounded.
The West chose not to arm the Syrian opposition for fear of the consequences.
But in many ways the worst of what it sought to avoid has come to pass anyway - massive displacement of civilians, spiralling violence, a significant loss of life, a radicalised opposition and an influx of foreign fighters.
Moderate voices face increased competition.
And the longer it has gone on, the bloodier and more extreme the conflict has become and the greater the threat it poses to an already fragile region.

The Governor of the Russian capital states that cases of a relapse of coronavirus have been detected in citizens vaccinated with Sputink-V. This weakens the position of the vaccine, since, according to scientists, immunity must be maintained for at least 2 years.
The statement by the Governor of Moscow is troubling, as what is happening speaks of the resistance of the Sputnik-V vaccine to the Indian strain of coronavirus. Sergei Sobyanin said that cases of the reappearance of coronavirus in citizens who have undergone a full vaccination cycle have been identified in Moscow:
“Unlike the Wuhan strain, in order to protect someone from the Indian strain, the level of immunity must be doubled. Those citizens who did not get sick with the previous strain of the “Wuhan” coronavirus can get sick. We are faced with patients, many of whom are vaccinated. There are not many diseases, but their immunity is reduced, so many citizens should probably get vaccinated. “
The public acknowledgment by the metropolitan governor of the short duration of antibodies is fully consistent with the opinion of Alexander Ginzburg, director of the Gamaleya Institute, which developed Sputnik-V. He talks about the need to control the level of antibodies in order to undergo a second vaccination if necessary.
The Indian strain weakens the strong position of the Russian vaccine Sputink-V, since, according to scientists, immunity has been maintained for at least two years.
Meanwhile, the process of testing the Sputnik V preparation continues. Francesco Vaya, director of the Italian research institute Spallanzani, believes the EU medical authorities will approve it in July, RIA Novosti reported.
The vaccine is now undergoing a gradual review by the EMA (European Medicines Agency). Vaya believes that “July could be an adequate date to give an answer to the request of the Russian Foundation – the more vaccines we have, the better.”

Hardeep Matharu is the Editor of Byline Times
Veteran investigative journalist joins a growing chorus of criticism of the public service broadcaster.
The Conservative Party deceived in plain sight when it changed its press office Twitter account name during last night's Leader's Debate to "factcheckUK". Voters must remain vigilant to all attempts to mislead.
After 18 years, and with an important role in Parliament's landmark fake news inquiry, a veteran Labour MP diagnoses the real echo chamber in politics.


PLANS to reduce the speed limit on a main road running through a village look to go ahead.
Proposals have been put forward to make the A18 through Althorpe a 40mph zone after residents raised concerns about speeding motorists.
Councillor John Briggs met with Isle MP Andrew Percy on Friday to try and drive forward the reduced speed limit.
And now it is hoped the new limit will come into force in the spring.
Coun Briggs said: “The parish councillors and residents told us they wanted the section of the A18 at Althorpe making into a 40mph zone.
“We promised we would deliver this and I am pleased that, subject to the outcome of consultation, this should be put in place by March of next year.”
He said: “It is really important we get this reduction for this route because a lot of villagers do cross here but, of course, reducing the speed limit is only one part of dealing with this problem.
“We need drivers to take a lot more care when passing through and I’m pleased to have been able to work with Councillor John Briggs to support residents who have been calling for this reduction.”
A 450 metre stretch of the road which includes a sharp bend is set to be reduced from the current 60mph.
A North Lincolnshire Counci; spokesman said the move had followed a review of all A and B roads across the county and was not as a result of accidents, .She added it was hoped a public consultation would start in the next few weeks and new road markings, red surfacing and traffic islands, all designed to make the road appear narrower to drivers, were expected to be included in the plans.

Okay, so I’m still working on those other reviews I mentioned in my last post. What can I say; it’s hard being a husband, father, and blogger. But last weekend, I saw The Conjuring and wrote it up for MoviefiedNYC. James Wan is one of my favorite directors, and if you’re like me, you need to see his latest. Trust me. Am I the only one who finds it a little strange that he’s doing the next Fast & Furious movie? WTF? Anyways, hit the jump once again for an excerpt and link to the full review.
There are a small number of directors without a blemish on their record, and James Wan is one of them. Just look at his output: Saw, Dead Silence, Death Sentence, and Insidious were all made within a six-year period, and I can now confidently add a new entry to the unbroken chain of awesome Wan leaves in his wake. The Conjuring is his masterwork, and as of right now, it stands as one of the best horror movies I’ve seen in quite some time. In no small feat, it takes an often-used premise and breathes new life into it through technical mastery and a gift for simply scaring the shit out of me.
If you’re still on the fence about going to see it, then let me assure you: it’s better than that other ghost movie with Lili Taylor.
That one is just no good. No good at all.


Turks ask whereabouts of missing $128 bln during Erdogan live broadcast
Hundreds of Turkish citizens asked where a missing $128 billion in central bank funds went during a live broadcast by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Saturday.
Social media users following Erdoğan’s live address over Youtube flooded the comment section with questions about the money’s whereabouts, Duvar news site reported, with some users simply sharing the numeric figure in the comments.
The number of likes and dislikes the video received was hidden, Duvar said. Government officials previously blocked the amount of dislikes from being seen on an Erdogan address last year when they disabled the comment section of an address to students when many used it to express their dissatisfaction with his government.
For weeks, the main opposition People’s Republican Party (CHP) has been waging a campaign centered on answering where the missing $128 billion in foreign reserves from the Turkish central bank went. The ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and President Erdogan angrily reject the CHP’s badgering over the funds. Authorities have gone so far as to dispatch police to CHP officers nationwide to remove banners asking what happened to the money.
Erdoğan hit back over the criticism on Wednesday, saying significant foreign currency transactions were necessary due to the COVID-19 pandemic and global economic downturn. Similar measures would be taken again if necessary, he said.
Critics say the vast sum of money was spent by the Treasury and Finance Ministry in a desperate effort to save the value of the lira under the tenure of Erdoğan’s son-in-law, Berat Albayrak. No foreign currency reserves had been sold since Albayrak left office in November, Bloomberg News reported, citing new Treasury and Finance Minister Lütfi Elvan.
Elvan has failed to meet a constitutional obligation to answer parliamentary questions about the foreign exchange transactions, the main opposition Republican People’s Party (CHP) has said.
Political pressure to explain the reserve losses has mounted after Erdoğan sacked former finance minister Naci Ağbal as governor of the central bank in March. Ağbal, appointed in early November, sought to investigate the depletion of the reserves, making Erdoğan uncomfortable and contributing to his dismissal.

I teach at a community college in Virginia, but I am originally from the west coast. I have a young daughter whose lust for life makes my life busy but fulfilling.
I love traveling and talking to people about their travels. My favorite city (worldwide, so far) is London, and my favorite U.S. city is Boston. My favorite country I've vacationed in is Thailand. The food is delicious, and the people were amazingly friendly.
Some of my favorite TV shows include Doctor Who, Downton Abbey, Sherlock, Supernatural, AKA Jessica Jones, Daredevil, and Arrow.
Some of my favorite drinks are tea (black or green, not too big on herbal), milkshakes, horchata, and water.
I love sewing, but I consider myself a novice. I have made most of my daughter's Halloween costumes to date, because as she puts it, she wants to be "unique." (Oh, the pressure!)
I also like doing paper crafts, but again, I consider myself a novice. I wish I had someone sit me down to show me the many tricks of the trade, like dyeing paper, and other nifty tricks.
I enjoy knitting, and not to sound like a broken record, but I do indeed consider myself a novice, though I learned over a decade ago. I usually knit scarves, hats, or dishcloths.
Some of my favorite colors are usually variations of reds and purples.

New in America, Duval-Leroy is set to make a splash with its bold, artistic “Paris” bottle, silk-screened by artist Leroy Neiman. A 40/60 Chardonnay/Pinot blend, it carries scents of honeysuckle, hazelnut and vanilla into a fresh, flavorful and persistent middle. Hints of mint and even mint julep roll around the tongue, keeping the flavors lively and interesting.

How to make a fold over elastic headband
You will need
16mm FOE Elastic and the following lengths depending on your size you are making your headbands.
Cut your fold over elastic to length and heat seal your ends with a lighter or candle. Becareful not to touch the flame, you just want to put the elastic close enough to melt the edge a little.
Overlap your ends about 1cm and sew together you can machine or hand sew.
I machine sew with a zig zag stitch. Or you can hot glue and press together.
Take a small lenght of FOE elastic to make a interchangable headband. Seal the ends. Put a dab of hot glue on the back of the headband and glue the sealed end.
Rap strip around the headband so it sits flat and cut it to length and seal the end and put a dap of hot glue on the back and glue down.
You now have a interchangable headband. You can add a fabric flower, or ribbon hair bow.

This is a favorite of ours for spring and fall menus. It is an easy and delicious way of adding color and texture to your menu — and veggies to your diet!
Feel free to boil the beets instead of roasting them. They have a slightly better flavor roasted. However, boiling them will allow you to use the remaining water (edible by-product — score!) to make a batch of pickled eggs.
Reserve the beet stems and greens to make Sauteed Beet Greens
2 – 2 1/2 lbs beets (about 6-8 or two bunches)
1 Tablespoon fresh lemon juice
3 Tablespoons olive oil
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1 clove garlic, grated
2 Tablespoons mint, chopped
Salt and Pepper, to taste
6 ounces baby spinach
1 1/2 ounces sliced almonds, toasted
1 1/2 ounces goat cheese
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
2. Wash the beets, wrap them in aluminum foil, place them on a baking sheet, and roast for one hour or until tender. Allow beets to cool until they can be handled safely.
3. Remove beets from foil, slip the skins off, and dice.
4. Place lemon juice, garlic, and cumin in a bowl. Whisk in olive oil slowly to allow emulsion to form. Salt and pepper to taste. Pour over beets and toss to combine.
5. Place beets over a bed of spinach greens. Top with crumbled goat cheese, mint, and toasted almond slices,

What is spearmint tea?
Spearmint tea is obtained by brewing the leaves of the spearmint plant (Mentha spicata). The plant itself is native to much of Europe and Asia as well as parts of North America and grows to a height of about 60 centimetres (two feet). Herbal spearmint tea has a distinct sweet minty flavour and is often compared to peppermint tea. While both teas are similar, there is a difference in taste as well as some differentiation in the benefits available from the two teas.
Organic spearmint tea is simply spearmint tea that has been obtained from spearmint grown and harvested organically without the aid of GMOs, synthetic chemicals or pesticides
In any case peppermint tea is a pleasant tasting refreshing drink enjoyed by many.
Spearmint tea benefits
There is little doubt that drinking spearmint tea has health benefits, however it's not to be considered to be a magic pill. Drinking it will provide you with the following benefits.
Can aid digestion
Can help freshen breath - not just due to the fresh minty flavour but also due to its antibacterial properties which help to kill bacteria in the mouth and prevent halitosis
May help irritable bowel sufferers
May help reduce the incidence of acne - while it will not eliminate the problem studies have shown that regular use does indeed reduce the occurrence of acne lesions
Spearmint is also thought to improve respiratory health and circulation
Where to buy spearmint tea
If you’ve been searching for a refreshing healthy drink that adds some variety to your life, then spearmint tea could be for you. You can buy organic tea online today at the Buy Organics Online website. We have a range of spearmint tea products that have been sourced from the most reputable and ethically responsible suppliers within the organic tea industry.

We report on the effect of sample non-uniformity on the results of Hall-effect measurements. False positive Hall coefficients were obtained from an evidently n-type ZnO single crystal, although four electrodes with low contact resistance were made and the Van der Pauw parameter for this electrode configuration was close to 1.00. Further position-sensitive characterization revealed that the false positive Hall coefficient was due to non-uniform electrical properties of the sample. To demonstrate a false positive sign of the Hall coefficient due to sample non-uniformity, we devised a model structure made from evident n-type ZnO thin film and successfully reproduced a false positive Hall coefficient from n-type ZnO.

Several recent reports have indicated that the Tanzania trading sector is prepared to open its doors and allow more import goods into the country from within the East African Community (EAC), thus supporting the trading bloc’s pursuit of a free market.
According to these reports, the Tanzania Food and Drugs Authority (TFDA) has been directed by the Tanzania Bureau of Standards (TBS), the country’s standards regulator, to allow goods into the country that have been cleared as fit for consumption by several different national quality bodies of the EAC member states.
As a result of this decision by the TBS, goods that have been manufactured within the EAC will be allowed to be traded freely in Tanzania as long as they have been issued standardization marks by the national quality regulators of the countries of origin.
Until recently, Tanzania has been the only EAC country which has required addition testing on imported goods that have already been certified as safe by their countries of origin; without this test, the goods would not allowed entry into the country for trading or other purposes.
Prior to this decision, several manufacturers had expressed concern that, while the TBS was typically fairly lenient on the import of goods from within the region, the TFDA, which works under the TBS, has been especially strict on food- and drug-related products, thus the decision to relax market entry rules has is receiving a warm welcome from traders in the EAC region.
“Our members who have been complaining that TFDA subjects their exports to unnecessary delays through further tests can now breathe a sigh of relief following the directive,” says statement from the Kenya Association of Manufacturers (KAM).
In addition to the relief felt by some of the EAC member countries, the business community is also advising that the implementation of the new system proceed with caution in order to protect itself from potential profiteers.
As reported by the Daily Monitor, Vimal Shah, the KAM national chairman has indicated that increased cross-border surveillance system and cooperation among national standards as well as quality bodies will be necessary and should be employed in order to guarantee that the regional market does not become saturated with substandard goods from counterfeiters, who are looking to take advantage of relaxed rules.
“It is very easy for clever individuals to invent their own way of printing the marks in one country and pass them off as the authorized standardization mark if the national standards bodies to not work together in,” he said.

Intellectual property and GDPR implications
This article has been updated as of March 25th to include a link to the Tribe Tech Podcast which covers the key issues discussed below. You can listen to the podcast here: https://audioboom.com/posts/7533987-business-after-coronavirus
It is important that organisations remember that the decisions they make now will have consequences beyond the immediate situation. Taking a step back and assessing the long-term impact of decisions can be tricky when dealing with a crisis, but it is essential for the future health of the organisation.
Following the steps below will help to ensure that your business survives in the short term and thrives in the long term.
1. When asking staff to work remotely from home, or otherwise minimise face-to-face work, in addition to the employment law aspects (which our employment team can assist with if required) there are key issues around data protection and data security.
To help, we are providing free privacy impact assessment (PIA) templates where you are rolling out remote working. For businesses that have not sorted their GDPR fundamentals, we still recommend you still complete a PIA but, to help on your journey to compliance, we are also providing a free data mapping tool and guidance note.
2. When using online platforms for the first time, it is really important to check the terms and conditions.
Many platforms are not secure and could put you in breach of your legal obligations when it comes to data protection. This applies especially to tools that are used to store or share content or enable teams to communicate. Remember that you should not be using services that share or store data outside the EEA and that you should only use data where you have identified a valid lawful basis to do so.
3. Many businesses are starting to deliver their services digitally.
It is crucial that when you start sharing content digitally, you remember your long-term business goals. When sharing content through platforms you agree to abide by their terms and conditions. Often, this involves making your content available in ways that are contrary to your business goals. For example, a training company that decides to deliver its services digitally may lose its ability to control the IP in their courses, or a document sharing platform may invalidate any confidentiality for any documents shared through it.
4. Most cybersecurity breaches are still down to human error.
Many people will find themselves working from home for the first time. For some, this will be a stressful time. This, combined with increased isolation, meaning that people may be less able to ask colleagues for a second opinion, increases the risks that people will fall foul of cybersecurity scams, such as phishing exercises. Ensuring employees know to ask if in doubt is really important but consider also refreshing cybersecurity training.
5. In situations like this, your terms and conditions and brand protection come into their own.
Make sure that you understand your terms and conditions, especially provisions relating to force majeure, refunds, termination, cancellation or cessation of services and the provision of digital content (where relevant). Remember that the law offers consumers key protections and you need to respect those. Your terms should be clear and comprehendible to all and set out the ground rules for your business. Expect also for your brand to come in the firing line if consumers feel that your decisions are having a negative impact on them. Make sure your trademark registrations are up-to-date and you have a PR policy in place.
We will be continuing to share updates as the situation around COVID-19 evolves. You can find the contingency plans that we have put in place, along with further advice, here.View Article

December Blog Hop Challenge over at Papertrey Ink is to make an all white card, pops of color or neutrals are ok but the focus is to be white. Well I just love all white cards so I decided to play this month. I had to make a few more Christmas cards so I decided to bring out he In the Meadows dies and the Hill dies and create this card. I looked through all my card stock and DP's to find whites and the options I had were fun. First off is the card base which is Papertrey Ink's Rustic White, the hills are Papertrey's Linen Vellum. The boy on the sled is Neenah Esse Pearl card stock. The trees were cut from some scraps of DP that I bought last year to make wedding cards with and I don't remember who's it is, to bad since it is gorgeous. The only color I used was a Copic marker C01 to color the edges of the hills. I love the textures and different shades of white on this card.
Hope you like it and thanks for stopping by.
