The winning numbers were: 25, 37, 39, 61 and 62. The Powerball was 11 with a Power Play of 3X.
While no one hit Wednesday’s $50 million jackpot, a second-prize ticket matching five numbers but not the Powerball was sold in California.
It’s valued at $7,054,356 as California lottery prizes vary depending on ticket sales and number of winners. They differ from the fixed second prizes - usually $1 million - offered in other participating states.
In New Jersey, a $50,000 ticket was purchased at ShopRite in the Lanoka Harbor section of Lacey. It matched four numbers plus the Powerball.
Wednesday’s winning numbers were: 10, 12, 15, 19 and 56. The Powerball drawn was 19 with a Power Play of 2X.
The Powerball jackpot was last won on Feb. 13 when someone who bought a ticket in Pontiac, Michigan won the $70 million prize.
The odds of hitting the Powerball jackpot are 292,201,388 to 1. A player who buys a $2 ticket has about a 1 in 11,688,053 chance to match five numbers and win at least $1 million, while there’s about a 1 in 913,129 shot of winning the third prize of at least $50,000.
Powerball is played on Wednesday and Saturday in 45 states, Washington D.C., the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.

Well, things just got interesting.
The Commanders have added to their quarterback room, selecting North Carolina's Sam Howell with the 144th overall pick -- the first choice of the fifth round.
A three-year starter for the Tar Heels, Howell was once considered a top quarterback prospect a couple of seasons ago. However, UNC lost a bunch of its top playmakers prior to last season, which Howell followed up with a disappointing 2021 campaign. Couple that with concerns about his mechanics and touch led Howell to slide into the fifth round.
Production at the college level was not a concern for Howell. The now 21-year-old earned the Tar Heels starting job as a true freshman in 2019 and instantly made an impact. Over his three-year career, Howell threw for over 10,000 yards with 92 touchdown passes and just 23 interceptions.
"Sam Howell to me, if you look at what he did in college, so productive," ESPN draft analyst Todd McShay said. "I think he throws the best deep ball of any quarterback in this class. The touch, the teardrop that he’s able to drop in between defenders and hit his wide receivers in stride."

Howell won't compete for Washington's starting job, as Ron Rivera has made it clear that belongs to Carson Wentz. But the North Carolina product could initially compete with Taylor Heinicke for the team's backup job, too.
It's also worth noting that Howell will reunite with wide receiver Dyami Brown, the Commanders third-round selection in 2021. Howell and Brown played together for two seasons in Chapel Hill and Brown topped the 1,000-yard mark in both of those years.

Whey Protein Vs Collagen Protein : Why Collagen Is The Best Protein Supplement
By Tyler Woodward
Whey protein lines the shelves of vitamin stores, supermarkets, and gyms. Is whey really the be-all end-all of protein supplements? Does Whey Protein truly beat Collagen? Here is the best breakdown of whey protein vs collagen protein...
To get to the bottom of this question, we’ve got to start at the root.
- What's The Point Of A Supplement?
- What Is Whey Protein?
- The Proclaimed Benefits Of Whey
- The Benefits Of Collagen
What’s The Point Of A Supplement?:
Dietary supplements are substances that are designed to “supplement” your diet, meaning fill in the gaps of any missing nutrients that you’re not consuming through food. By viewing supplements in this light, you can determine which supplements will provide you with the biggest bang for your buck. This will in turn help you make better decisions to suit your needs.
What Is Whey?:
Whey protein is a form of protein that naturally exists in dairy. Whey makes up about 20% of the protein in milk. It is mainly a byproduct of the dairy industry that naturally occurs when producing cheese. Whey protein came into existence as a means of selling what had previously been a waste product of cheese production.

The Proclaimed Benefits Of Whey:
1. Whey Is A Complete Protein -
Whey protein is a complete protein meaning that it contains all 9 essential amino acids. While many argue this as one of the primary benefits of whey compared to other forms of protein, I’d argue that it's also one of its weaknesses. If the purpose of supplements are to fill in the gaps of your diet, then you would want a protein that accomplishes this. While whey does contain all 9 essential amino acids, so do meat, eggs & dairy, all of which contain numerous amounts of vitamins and minerals that are not found in a protein supplement.
Collagen protein on the other hand is mostly composed of glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline. These key amino acids are largely missing from our diet today because most people only consume muscle meats. Muscle meats have a very similar amino acid profile to whey protein. They contain all 9 essential amino acids and are particularly high in tryptophan and methionine (just like whey). Collagenous tissue like animal skin, joints and certain organs are much richer in glycine, proline and hydroxyproline. This helps to balance out the amino acids from muscle meat.
Technically, glycine, proline, and hydroxyproline are non-essential amino acids. Your body is capable of producing them if it has adequate energy and supply of the essential amino acids. Yet, even if these conditions are met your body does not naturally produce enough glycine or proline to meet its requirements. This is why we must also consume some of these in our diet.
Our ancestors likely ate a “nose-to-tail” diet meaning they consumed every part of the animal. This is extremely beneficial from a nutritional standpoint because animals as a whole have a balanced nutritional profile, a range of all the necessary vitamins, minerals, and amino acids. When you only consume one part of the animal you’re setting yourself up for a dietary imbalance in certain nutrients, too much of some nutrients and not enough of others. If you’re not going to start consuming a nose-to-tail diet, then a collagen supplement is your next best bet for balancing out your amino acids.
2. Whey Is Better For Building Muscle -
Whey protein has been touted by bodybuilders for years as a holy grail for building muscle, but does this actually hold true? A fast-absorbing protein, whey protein digested very quickly and reaches the bloodstream relatively fast compared to other proteins. Because of this whey protein is more insulinogenic, as it causes a larger amount of insulin to be released. After a workout your body is extremely sensitive, meaning it needs less insulin to shuttle more carbs and amino acids (protein) into the cell to be used as energy. Since whey causes a larger amount of insulin to be released, it negates the benefit of the post-workout insulin sensitivity.
The biggest benefit of whey for muscle-building is its high quantity of the BCAAs (Branch-Chain Amino Acids) which are necessary for muscle building and for signaling to the body to begin muscle protein synthesis. This is where collagen protein lacks in regards to muscle building, but casein protein (the other 80% of protein in milk) is also a great source of the BCAA’s and the other essential amino acids. Casein has the added benefit of being a slow-absorbing protein, so it has a relatively slower release of insulin compared to Whey. Although whey is absorbed faster the overall muscle building benefits compared casein protein have been shown to be the same
Because collagen lacks these specific amino acids that are necessary for building muscle, whey and casein technically reign superior in this regard. Although collagen on its own does not stimulate muscle protein synthesis, in combination with the other proteins it has been shown to just as effective. For these reasons I like to consume collagen with whey and casein as the ultimate muscle building. cocktail
Remember, both casein and whey protein are in milk, so when you consume milk post-workout you’re getting a bit of both the fast-absorbing whey, the slow-absorbing casein protein. Instead of adding in a whey or casein protein supplement and doubling down, adding in a collagen supplement helps to balance out the amino acids from milk. Glycine, the predominant amino acid in collagen, also has a number of additional benefits in relation to muscle-building including:
- Increases Insulin Sensitivity (allowing the cell to take in more carbs and protein to create more energy)
- Precursor To Creatine
- May be Anti-Catabolic (potentially helping to inhibit further protein breakdown post-workout)
- Provides Nutrients Required To Rebuild Your Joints (Collagenous Tissue)
For these reasons, my post-workout of choice is the Thermo Chocolate Milk recipe. Combining all of the benefits of the whey and casein in milk, resupplying your body with the sugar that it burned mid-workout with the added benefits of both glycine and magnesium.

The Benefits Of Collagen:
No article comparing whey & collagen would be complete without mentioning all of the benefits of collagen. Collagen and glycine consumption have been associated with:
- Improved Sleep Quality
- Decreased Liver Damage From Alcohol Consumption
- Protection Against Muscle Loss
- Decreased Joint Pain
- Improved Hair & Skin Health
- Necessary To Produce Glutathione (The body’s main antioxidant)

Awhile back, a survey was conducted by Pew that wanted to answer the question of how Americans viewed themselves. Are they better off than, say, a decade ago? Do Americans consider themselves wealthy? Struggling? Poverty ridden? The study, conducted by several economic analysts associated with Pew, revealed more of us believe we’re lower class from a financial aspect. The way we see money, credit and the future of our children is revealing. Here’s a bit of what they found.
One of the most interesting aspects is found in the number of Americans who say they are in the lower-middle or lower class. That number has increased in three short years from around 25% to 33%. Those who are younger than thirty believe they’re in the lower class than ever before. And, it’s most whites and Hispanics who believe this. For blacks, the numbers are a bit more stable from three years ago. Now, around the same number of races – around a third of each – believe they are lower class in terms of finances.
Wondering about politics? If you’re a Democrat, you are more likely to believe you’re in the lower class than your Republican counterparts. Interestingly, more Republicans believe they’re rising in financial class. A full 85% of Americans who say they’re in the lower class – whether they’re Republican or Democrat – say they are cutting back their spending in significant ways. Meanwhile, 62% of those in the middle class as well as 41% of those who say they are upper class have cut back on their respective spending habits. Those in the lower class report they’re more often unhappy, too.
As they look to their own future and that of their children, many in the lower class see their prospects dimming. About three-quarters (77%) say it’s harder now to get ahead than it was 10 years ago. Only half (51%) say that hard work brings success, a view expressed by overwhelming majorities of those in the middle (67%) and upper classes (71%). While the expectation that each new generation will surpass their parents is a central tenet of the American Dream, those lower classes are significantly more likely than middle or upper-class adults to believe their children will have a worse standard of living than they do.
Other findings –
The share of college graduates who place themselves in the lower class grew from 12% to 17%.
Roughly a third of all men (34%) and women (31%) say they are in the lower class, an eight-and seven-percentage point increase from 2008.
One question posed to the participants included where they would place their families in terms of class during their childhoods. The findings revealed than slightly more than 60% say they were raised in the lower class. This suggests few believe they’ve left the lower class based on where they rank themselves today. Approximately 12% say they grew up in upper-class families and are still in the upper class.
But what about the finances? How do people see themselves today than, say, five or ten years ago? Here’s what the study found.
Those who say they are in the lower class are far more likely to face financial difficulties. They’re also less likely to own credit cards and bank accounts. Only 11% of those in the lower class say they’ve not faced late payments on installment loans, credit cards (those who have them) and rent. They’re also much more likely to have cut back significantly in their spending. They struggle to make payments on medical bills, as well. More in the lower class have faced layoffs than those in upper classes. Middle class adults are three times as likely and upper class adults five times as likely to have escaped these types of financial problems. Not only that, but 35% in the lower class faced at least four or all five of the problems specified in the survey. Only 10% of middle-class adults and just 3% of the upper class.
Close to 85% of people in the lower class cut back their household spending, compared with 62% of the middle class and 41% of the upper class. Slightly more than six in ten lower-class adults had trouble paying their bills, more than twice the rate of the middle class or the upper class. Meanwhile, half of those in the lower class had difficulty paying for medical care for themselves or their families. Meanwhile, 20% of those in the middle class and 10% in the upper class faced similar problems making their medical payments.
Finally, there are differences that also emerged when it comes to housing. Close to 90% of homeowners in all classes say they are happy with their homes, but only 60% of renters feel the same. Three quarters of whites who say they are lower class are satisfied with their housing and 65% and 69% of Hispanics and blacks, respectively, say the same.

It can take years to a lifetime for an artisan to develop the necessary skills to craft an exceptional piece of work. In any body of work, the smallest detail can mean the biggest difference both aesthetically and in function. We pay attention to those details with the utmost care when it comes to our furniture. We believe this is where true value and quality begins.
In a world where more and more furniture products have become disposable after only a few years of use, we strive to create enduring products that will last for generations to come. We understand that our environment is impacted by what products we choose to consume, and we want to provide a quality, alternative choice to those who are committed in doing their part in sustaining the environment.
Each and every piece at Savannah Collections manifests our dedication to long-lasting, quality products. Using solid Mahogany or Walnut wood, our artisans implement only the highest standard of carpentry methods. We incorporate time-honored woodworking techniques with advanced technology to create masterful pieces that are not only durable, but beautifully timeless.
All of our solid hardwood are treated with a kiln-drying process using state-of-the-art German equipment. This process eliminates moisture from the wood, protecting it from warping due to humidity and ensuring a longer lifespan.
Joinery, or the advanced carpentry technique of interlocking two separate pieces of wood together, is another mark of fine craftsmanship. In place of glue, nails or other mechanical fasteners, wood pieces are meticulously hand cut to self-locking shapes, so that there are no gaps or movement between any joints. This requires a high level of accuracy to ensure a snug fit, and secures the pieces together so that it is near impossible to separate. This feature can be found throughout our shelves, drawers and cabinets.
From our carefully selected range of finishes to the exquisite designs of Turkish wooden veneer inlays, you’ll find a painstaking attention to detail that embraces everyday elegance and impeccably tailored design. Our chosen materials and fabrics are texturally and visually pleasing to the senses: European silk, Italian marble-top tables, nailhead-studded headboards and button-tufted chairs exude a luxurious ambiance that can transform any room in your home.
These are just a few features Savannah Collections offer. We understand that today’s conscious consumer desires products that go beyond fleeting trends. Timeless, enduring quality – now that’s something to hold on to.

Analysis of State and Federal Spending on Infrastructure
Infrastructure is all around us, it allows us to subsist. It’s easy to take for granted, too. Infrastructure is embedded in our lives: the roads we drive, the pipes that deliver us water, the airports we travel through. Turns out, the state of American infrastructure is in constant flux (sometimes dramatically so) and always a point of spirited debate. That debate becomes particularly interesting when infrastructure is compared state to state.
For this analysis, we defined infrastructure as the physical and organizational structures that support the operation of a society. That definition is fundamentally and necessarily broad because the infrastructure has a wide footprint. As of 2013, 14.5 million workers—11 percent of the U.S. workforce—called themselves employees of infrastructure.
On the one hand, that’s a lot of people. On the other, it’s small—considering how much help our infrastructure actually needs. Take our surface transportation systems, for example. As of 2015, deficiencies in American transportation infrastructure cost households and businesses nearly $147 billion a year. And $36 billion of that comprises—no surprise—travel delays. According to U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx, each year Americans spend a combined 600,000 years stuck in traffic. Talk about road rage.
Is there anything to be done? Well, generally, when a state invests a lot of money in its infrastructure, the federal government does too. And more money for infrastructure, logically, leads to improvements.
The states that invest the most in infrastructure include Texas, Florida, Ohio, Illinois, California, and New York. Still, likely due to their population size, cities in these states—Chicago, New York, Miami, San Francisco, and LA—remain some of the most congested in the country.
The states that spend the least? Hawaii, New Hampshire, Maine, Vermont, Delaware, Wyoming, North Dakota, and Rhode Island are all at the bottom of the spending spectrum. And yet, in terms of traffic, only Hawaii—with Honolulu—finds itself a victim of truly heinous traffic congestion.
So what about when states are ranked differently—say, by infrastructure spending per capita, to reflect fluctuations in population? We calculated infrastructure spending per capita—from the states themselves, and from the federal government—and tracked the results. States like Texas, Utah, Ohio, and California spend a lot on infrastructure themselves but do not receive commensurate funding from the federal government.
Conversely, states like Georgia, Missouri, New Jersey, and Rhode Island have the opposite problem: They receive, relative to other states, plenty of federal infrastructure funding, but do not dole out state funding for infrastructure to the same degree.
With many states struggling with funding discrepancies, the future of infrastructure may be faulty. According to experts, if the current infrastructure investment gap—what is invested vs. what needs to be invested—is not closed, the US economy will lose nearly $4 trillion in GDP by 2025.

I'm teaching a fall color class tomorrow in a park without woodland color. Instead the prairie will be the star of the show. This brings home the difference between a hobby and a job. The hobbyist, which is me most of the time, could change location to find maple color. Tomorrow I do not have this luxury. Permits were obtained months ago, students are signed up, and liability issues prevent us from jumping in a van to search for color. I almost forgot, I am supposed to photograph the students having fun photographing the color. What a difference between working and playing!

PEORIA, Ill., March 5, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Michele Sullivan, President, Caterpillar Foundation, and leader of the company's social innovation initiatives, has been named to the Diplomatic Courier's list of 100 top global women representing the most important industries women have made an impact on worldwide. Every year, to celebrate International Women's Day, the Diplomatic Courier honors the Top Global Women who have worked to improve the world. While some may be famous and others are not so well known, all of them are deserving of this honor, and much more. Hosted by the global affairs magazine, the women will be honored on International Women's Day 2014, March 5 and 6, in Washington, D.C.
Sullivan, who is the first woman president in Caterpillar Foundation history, and a 26-year veteran of the company, has grown the foundation from Peoria-focused initiatives to an entirely new outreach on a global scale. In 2013 under Sullivan's direction, Caterpillar Foundation pledged $200 million over the next several years to aid in ending the cycle of poverty by investing in girls and women around the world.
"We are thrilled to recognize Michele L. Sullivan as one of Diplomatic Courier's 2014 Top Global Women," said Ana Caranci Rold, editor, Diplomatic Courier, whose staff works year-round to select the women to be featured in a special March edition. "Michele's leadership in the areas of environmental sustainability, access to education and basic human needs on behalf of Caterpillar's Foundation certainly has set her apart from her peers and makes her a natural leader for this honor."
Among Caterpillar Foundation's key benefactors in this investment are the United Nations Foundation, and The ONE Campaign. Both are intrinsically involved in issues affecting women and girls. The ONE Campaign, founded by Bono, is a global advocacy and campaigning organization with nearly 4 million members taking action in the fight against extreme poverty. "I've had the pleasure of getting to know Michele over the last year and cannot be more impressed with her vision, leadership, and tenacity to position Caterpillar as one of the world's leading corporate social innovators, particularly through investments in programs that will benefit women and girls," said Michael Elliot, President & CEO of The ONE Campaign. "Everyone at The ONE Campaign is excited about our growing partnership and congratulates Michele on this very deserving honor."
The United Nations Foundation, created by Ted Turner, helps the UN tackle issues including climate change, global health, women's empowerment, and poverty eradication. Its partnership with Caterpillar Foundation brings together two forces sharing the same goal of solving problems and improving lives. "Michele Sullivan, as the first female President of the Caterpillar Foundation, has emerged in the past two years as a strong leader and voice on partnerships for impact," said Kathy Calvin, President and Chief Executive Officer, United Nations Foundation. "Under her guidance, the Caterpillar Foundation is investing in programs that show great promise, particularly in the area of empowering girls and women globally. As a partner, the UN Foundation knows first-hand the value of Michele's leadership, and we congratulate her on this well-deserved honor."
Sullivan's editorial about her work and Caterpillar Foundation's efforts, along with profiles and interviews of the Top 100 Global Women will appear in the Diplomatic Courier's annual International Women's Day special edition published this month.
Caterpillar Inc. supports the philanthropic efforts of the Caterpillar Foundation. Founded in 1952, the Caterpillar Foundation has contributed more than $550 million to help make sustainable progress possible around the world by providing program support to alleviate poverty with an emphasis on girls and women.

We are a hungry nation. We are hungry for success, for honor, for wealth, and for…food. Yes, the United States—still the wealthiest nation on planet Earth—is struggling to feed millions of its own citizens.
The controversy surrounding the plans for a hotel on campus have attracted a much larger audience than the University Senate had originally anticipated. The Town Hall meeting held Friday, December 4, had more attendees than could fit in the originally scheduled SAC 302. The SAC auditorium held over 150 members of the university and surrounding community, many of them outspoken in their opinion on the new Hotel’s plans.
“I can’t believe I even ate that,” she said. “I know it’s bad, but we really don’t have a choice.”
Backfish’s concerns echo those of fellow Stony Brook students – many feel that the food on campus is both disgusting and expensive, but they have no choice but to eat it.
Its song is nothing worthy of a lineage, but its wail drowns out all the others. And it sings its tune everywhere, all the time. This creature I speak of, is Top 40. And it needs to die right now.

text: Kitco News talks to Gary Wagner about gold demand in the aftermath of the Chinese Lunar New Year and looks at what could happen to the markets given that Janet Yellen will testify, for the first time as the new Chairwoman, in front of the House Financial Services Committee Tuesday and then infront of the Senate on Wednesday. Wagner says that the end of the Lunar New Year in China may have an effect on the gold market but if it does, it will affect the markets 'very slightly.' Looking over at the U.S., Wagner says everyone will be closely listening to Yellen's speech to find any clues of how she may handler her new position. "My sense is that she's going to want everyone to see a very transparent and smooth transition from Bernanke to herself," he says. "So, I would look for, if anything, a vote of confidence in terms of stability to be her overall theme and for her to reiterate that the Fed is on course and doing what they had planned to do." Watch now for more on Wagner's analysis on the gold market and what bullish signs he may be looking at. Kitco News, February 10, 2014.

ELYRIA — Timothy Loyer was sentenced to seven years in prison after beating and choking a woman who witnesses believed was dying.
Loyer, 35, of Lorain, pleaded guilty in Lorain County Common Pleas Court Judge Christopher Rothgery’s courtroom to attempted murder, felonious assault, domestic violence and two counts of abduction.
Loyer had originally been charged with felonious assault and domestic violence against a 34-year-old Elyria woman.
Officers responded to 833 Highland Park Blvd. at 11 p.m. April 12 after a 911 call in which a woman was screaming for help.
According to an Elyria police report, officers saw a woman screaming and pointing to the residence. They entered and proceeded to the basement where they found Loyer on his knees on top of a woman on the floor.
Loyer told officers he was “only trying to help her because she fainted,” the report stated. Officers detained Loyer while police investigated.
The woman motionless and unresponsive. According to the report, her face was swollen and purple with blood droplets around her nose and mouth. They also observed strangulation marks on her entire neck, the report said.
The woman also “was gargling in an attempt to breathe,” the report said. Officers stayed with her and attempted to revive her until an ambulance arrived.
A witness said everyone at the home was having a good time, but the victim wanted to leave when she discovered that Loyer had been drinking. The victim then went with Loyer to the basement of the home to find clothes for her son. That’s when the assault took place, police said.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine the critical failure factors (CFFs) linked to various types of process improvement (PI) projects such as Kaizen, Lean, Six Sigma, Lean Six Sigma and Agile. Proposing a mitigation framework accordingly is also an aim of this study. Design/methodology/approach: This research undertakes a systematic literature review of 49 papers that were relevant to the scope of the study and that were published in four prominent databases, including Google Scholar, Scopus, Web of Science and EBSCO. Findings: Further analysis identifies 39 factors that contribute to the failure of PI projects. Among these factors, significant emphasis is placed on issues such as “resistance to cultural change,” “insufficient support from top management,” “inadequate training and education,” “poor communication” and “lack of resources,” as primary causes of PI project failures. To address and overcome the PI project failures, the authors propose a framework for failure mitigation based on change management models. The authors present future research directions that aim to enhance both the theoretical understanding and practical aspects of PI project failures. Practical implications: Through this study, researchers and project managers can benefit from well-structured guidelines and invaluable insights that will help them identify and address potential failures, leading to successful implementation and sustainable improvements within organizations. Originality/value: To the best of the author’s knowledge, this paper is the first study of its kind to examine the CFFs of five PI methodologies and introduces a novel approach derived from change management theory as a solution to minimize the risk associated with PI failure.

EPayLater and Goodbox partners to offer 'Buy now Pay later' experience to customers
Bangalore, 22nd August, 2017: With an aim to make grocery purchases more accessible from your nearest friendly store or other local businesses, ePayLater and Goodbox have joined hands to offer “Buy now Pay Later” service to customers.
With this service, customers can enjoy the classic and convenientexperience of making purchases from their favorite stores and settling bills ata later date. Eligible customers get an option to snooze payment with justclick of a button and thereby save time waiting in payment queue or goingthrough hassles of traditional payment methods like credit cards.
Commenting on this development, Atishay Kumar, ProductHead and CTO of ePayLater said, “ePayLater does away with thehassles of traditional payment channels which involve punching in lengthy carddetails, multiple page redirects and authentications and offers a completelyfrictionless checkout experience. Customers will have 14 days from the date ofpurchase and can pay anytime during the period, instead of having to pay at thetime of making purchase. Even better, they can club multiple purchases in asingle aggregated payment. At the moment, this service covers grocery and foodordering, but will soon be extended to Bill payments as well”.
Abey Zachariah, CEO of Goodbox resonated, “This istransformational in many ways. Goodbox has already created a hyper-localplatform that has helped thousands of small merchants sell to customers in theirvicinity through digital channels. ePayLater on Goodbox enables customers topurchase multiple times from local businesses within a certain limit andpay within 14 day of purchase date. The one click payment approval isby far the smoothest on our platform and unlike wallets, one doesn’t need toload it upfront. The local merchant doesn’t need to worry about the financialrisk in extending credit to customers now on as he is assured of payments onpurchases”

The planet Earth will never disappear, but there is no guarantee that its inhabitants will survive if they break the laws of the universe. They are unaware that a strict observer closely monitors their thoughts.
This terrible fate is revealed to a young woman who has a strange type of syndrome that makes her a being of exceptional intelligence. She knows humans have fallen under the control of their own corrupted technology, which is plotting to empty their minds and make them slaves of irrationality. And to do this, she must trust those who could be considered a threat.
Society could disappear under the tyranny of a corporation that monopolizes the manufacturing of a new product called "celuloidal-fon" with deadly applications. Time is running out and humans are preparing to destroy each other for fun or out of fear, following false slogans of patriotism from those behind the murderous designs.
The girl must counteract the manipulative power of destructive digital technology using the benefactor side, brought from the unthinkable dimension, and thus create an artificial neurological network that unites all human thoughts in one direction. Evil should not triumph, otherwise, humans would disappear and be swallowed by a natural apocalyptic hole that is hidden in the planet waiting for the Observer's orders.
If the mission is successful, Earthlings will be eternal and nothing will stop them until they reach the Seventh Dimension.
But there is something beyond this maze, where the lights of the stars of the universe are extinguished in perpetual darkness, and the Observer is the only one who can reveal this mystery.

11. Recommendations for future research
The estimates of the total annual costs of soil erosion in Scotland have been calculated from land uses based on LCM 2007. Land use would be more accurate if based on LCM2015, but this dataset was not available to the team.
No information on current use of soil erosion mitigation measures in the case study catchments (or in Scotland as a whole) was available at the time of the project. If the type (Appendix 11) and location of soil erosion mitigation measures were known, this would improve the accuracy of the estimate of total costs of soil erosion in Scotland. Installation and maintenance of these measures would add to the costs of soil erosion (i.e. costs of controlling soil erosion). However, by controlling soil erosion rates and probabilities (and on-site and off-site impacts), these measures would also reduce the associated costs of these impacts. This identifies another gap in knowledge: how effective those mitigation works would be in controlling soil erosion. It is likely their effectiveness would vary over space and time (Maetens, Poesen and Vanmaercke, 2012; Rickson, 2014). This needs to be better understood if this additional information is to be incorporated into models estimating the total costs of soil erosion. Given the predicted increase in soil erosion rates due to climate change (Boardman et al., 1990; Boardman and Favis-Mortlock, 2001; Hough, Towers and Aalders, 2010; IPCC, 2019; Mullan, 2013a, 2013b; Favis-Mortlock and Mullan, 2011; Nearing, Jetten and Stone, 2005; Nearing, Pruski and O’Neal, 2004), the environmental and economic need for soil erosion mitigation measures is likely to increase.
The current analysis has included organo-mineral soils and peats into one ‘soil erosion risk class’. It is recognised that most soils in this category are organo mineral soils, but have been given the same erosion risk class as peats. The results may be different if these 2 soil types were separated (see Section 10.4).
The present study is likely to have underestimated some off-site costs. The figures do not include the costs of P in watercourses (only in freshwater lakes / lochs). This is on the assumption that most P is moved with the sediment and becomes a cost when deposited in still waters (i.e. lakes). The load and concentration of P in rivers and canals is not accounted for (although N is included). Further investigation of the loads, concentrations and impacts of P in watercourses would improve the costs estimates associated with soil erosion.
Better understanding of the partitioning, loads, concentration and impacts of soil carbon losses (including DOC and POC), that are specifically associated with soil erosion would improve the accuracy and reliability of the estimates. Similarly, the present study found no data on methane or nitrous oxide emissions specifically linked to soil erosion, yet these will have environmental and economic impacts, and associated costs.
Future soil research should explore the annual costs of other soil degradation processes (e.g. soil compaction, loss of soil organic matter, loss of soil biodiversity), as was attempted by Graves et al. (2011) for England and Wales. The correlations, trade-offs and synergies amongst different soil degradation processes (e.g. soil erosion and loss of organic matter, compaction and loss of biodiversity) and their economic and other effects should be recognised, particularly where these are cumulative and integrated. Similarly, the multiple beneficial effects of mitigation measures should also be recognised (e.g. measures that control soil compaction will also reduce erosion risk).
The links between soil quality and ecosystem services are best developed for provisioning (mainly agricultural production) and regulating services (water quality, GHG emissions and flooding). Information to reflect the contribution of soils to supporting cultural services, such as landscape, biodiversity, recreation and heritage is less developed. The condition of soils can make a difference to the quality of important and highly valued habitats. They are important in the preservation of archaeological artefacts. They affect the condition of footpaths that provide access to the countryside, and the visual appearance of landscapes. The extent to which this affects the value of services has not been explored to any great extent to date, and has not been developed here. It is recommended that the cultural dimension of soils are assessed to provide a more complete assessment of soil value.

It goes without saying the discussion as to the "usefulness" of poetry has been going on for some time now. I might venture to say we could look all the way back to the Greeks and find the kind of criticism of the entire discipline that, in a nutshell, goes something like this: Poetry is useless.
But if you really believe that you wouldn't be reading this. And if it were really true--that poetry is, indeed, useless and therefore pointless-- how is it that poetry has been around all these thousands of years?
The corollary to the "useless-pointless" discussion is the ideas that poetry and poetry readings are "boring."
I could say here how I have given reading all over the United States--and have attended readings given all over the country--and I always look into the faces of the audience. I do not see bored, restless people who choose to spend their time in useless and pointless endeavors because of some deep seated need to waste a Friday night or Saturday afternoon--or what have you...
no, I see people who look like they need something that only the poetic experience can give them.
I will, admit, however, that I often see confused people. Those who have not been taught how to attend a poetry reading. Those who don't know what to expect or how to act. Those who may have been embarrassed or shamed by some ill educated junior high school teacher who --as Billy Collins has so famously written--insisted the class "torture a meaning" out of of a poem. Or worse--this mythological teacher we have all encountered at some point in our lives--the one we had to learn how to survive with all the courage of one of Victor Hugo's character's in Les Miserables--forced us to scan a poem but never taught us how find joy in the reading and hearing of a poem.
But I digress. As usual.
Here's how to attend a poetry reading in order to enjoy it.
1) Forget what people tell you about poetry. It is the first and most profound of the "People's Art." Therefore you have a right to be there. So relax and let the poetry wash over you.
2) Poetry readings are not created equal. Like all public performances--are sometimes great experiences, sometimes not so much. Understand that. After a while and with some experience, you will know if a poet is giving a reading that is phoned in or if the poet is simply not a gifted reader. Or if the poet reads so theatrically that the reading obscured obvious flaws in the writing. Or if the poet transports you--and the entire audience--to another dimension. Then you will know the word "good" will never, ever be enough to describe an experience like that.
3) Come prepared. When you are familiar with a poem or a poet, the experience of a reading becomes so much deeper. Try to read a few poems before you attend. Don't worry if you "get" the poems. Just read one or two and then see what happens inside you when you hear the poet read the same poems.
4) There is an etiquette to follow at poetry readings--just like at football games, pool halls, the symphony and public debates; there is an "understanding" on how to behave. Typically, audience members do not applaud after each poem is read. It is traditional to only applaud at the end of the reading. Think of this as listening to the symphony--the whole is greater than its parts. I have, however, seen a few poets who do not want this kind of response to their work. They like it when the audience seems to not be able to contain themselves. Okay, then, Go with it. However, I just have to say, I don't like this practice as it is encouraged by such poets as I think it diminishes the performance. I find it distracting, unnecessary and a bit too much.
5) Which brings me to the next point--a good poetry reading is a performance. No eating while the poet is reading. No texting. No passing notes. Behave yourself. The poems speak to one another and you need to be quiet, sit still and hear the "conversation." Really, be polite. Or don't come at all.
6) Poetry readings get better the more you attend and your understanding of the art form grows. This will happen.
7) After a reading, buy a book. Or buy a book beforehand. Support the poetry. Support the art form. Most poets do not make any money from their books. In fact, it often costs the poet money to promote his or her books. So, if you think poetry is an important part of the human experience, try and buy a book if at all possible.
8) After the reading, the poet will be in a kind of post-reading fog. So when you get your book signed by the poet, remember to be kind....write your name on a piece of paper so the poet doesn't have to think about how to spell it.
9) After-the reading, do not shove your own poetry into the hands of the poet who has just
given his or her all to the crowd. This is not about you or your work.
If you have only come to the poet's reading because there is an open mic reading, that is fine. But think about how this poet might teach you something about poetry. Really, you should consider this a free lesson in how to write poetry. (or, in some cases, how not to write poetry). Be respectful. Be open. If you like the poet's work, consider writing a brief review on Amazon.
10) There is simply nothing like participating in a great poetry reading. Nothing. Next time you go, bring some friends.

What is normal eating and exercise behavior in young adolescents and what are normal adolescent thoughts about eating and body shape and weight?
The unrealistic body and beauty expectation, forced on the common man tampers with their original self. Pictures in magazines and banners are edited to perfection but still considered to be true. They set high bars for beauty causing the population to mold themselves into pictured states.
There are prominent cases in which people underwent severe dieting, which was basically starvation and dismissal of food. We have constructed a very harmful idea of dieting in the minds and that thought has been planted so strongly that it is difficult to uproot. According to people, dieting means cutting down on all food. It means depriving your body of important nutrients and all the essential nutrients required for the proper functioning of the body. What was described was not dieting, but starvation.
Dieting in simple words means that one person is restricting the number of calories and nutrients. Dieting means eating cautiously all your nutrients but not compromising on your health.
Starving yourself is a completely different matter. It is sometimes triggered by the person’s body due to various factors like the urge to lose weight, illness, self-comparison, and much more. It risks the person suffering from an eating disorder. A person may have risk factors for an eating disorder, but never develop one, while others appear to develop eating disorders in the absence of known risk factors.
Restricting the intake of food or maintaining low weight which leads to vomiting, nausea, disliking tablets has no positive effect on the body which people try to induce. It will only prepare the body for further problems and restrict their energy to do any kind of work.
Whenever there is a health condition, you are usually put on a specific kind of diet. This is because every condition requires different treatment and different patterns of eating to cure it. For example, when the person is operated on, he/she cannot digest certain foods. Therefore the diets are modified such that they are able to cure themselves more quickly.
Improving the self-esteem of school students, encouraging communication, and helping students to be supportive of each other may prevent some young women from developing eating disorders. Only when we normalize all body and beauty types, will we be able to say all the people from harming their bodies. Regular skipping of food and a decrease in the eating amount should be taken seriously.
Consult a dietician if necessary because not eating food is not the solution to stay fit, regulating what we eat is what is right. Get a prescribed balanced dieting chart for weight loss according to your body, suitable for only you.

Arsenic is a proven potent killing agent. It has been termed as the biggest natural calamity in known human history of the world. Ground water contamination by As has been reported in 20 countries of the world encompassing all the continents  but the extent of ground water contamination in Bangladesh is by far the most severe as it covers almost 80% of the country with about 50% of the population at exposure risk of different degrees and the source is mainly geogenic  .
About 40% of total arable land in Bangladesh is now under irrigation facilities and more than 60% of this irrigation is met from groundwater, most of which is contaminated with As to variable extent  . As arsenic contaminated groundwater is being used for irrigation purpose, there is a risk of soil accumulation as well as possible creeping of this toxic element to the food chain through plant uptake and animal consumption  . It may cause hazards both in soil environment and in crop quality. Normal level of As in soils is 4 - 8 mg As/kg, but in areas where As contaminated ground water is used for irrigation, the soil As level can reach up to 58 mg As/kg  .
On the other hand, Zn is an essential micronutrient element for plants  . It is reported to involve in some important plant metabolic processes like enzyme activation, especially carbonic anhydrase and enolase  , protein production  , growth hormone (especially auxin) formation and chlorophyll formation  , pollination by pollen tube formation    and pigment formation for photosynthesis  .
As a micronutrient element, Zn is known to interact with some other elements. Some well known interactions are Zn-N   , Zn-Fe  , Zn-Mn  , Zn-Cu, Zn-B  and mostly Zn-P which causes “P” induced Zn deficiency  . As arsenic (As) and phosphorus (P) are in the same group of periodic table (Group VA) and Zn and P bear an antagonistic relationship, it is assumed that Zn is to show antagonism with As i.e., Zn is expected to depress arsenic (As) concentration in soils as well as in plants. To substantiate the hypothesis, a plant culture experiment was made where kalmishak (Ipomoea aquatica) was used as the test plants as it is an available fast growing and widely consumed leafy vegetable.
2. Materials and Methods
Composite soil samples, collected from the surface (0 - 15 cm) of the field of Bangladesh Jute Research Institute (BJRI) of Manikgonj district (23˚52'60''N and 90˚02'12''E), were air-dried, ground and divided into two parts. The first part was passed through a 0.5mm sieve and used for analyzing some physical and chemical parameters of the soil. The soil had a pH of 6.52, silt loam texture, 0.87% organic carbon, 0.09% total nitrogen, 0.10 meq% available potassium, 3.03 mg available phosphorus and 11.17 mg available sulfur/ kg soil. Diethylene-triamine-penta-Acetic acid (DTPA) extractable Zn content of the soil was 1.89 mg/kg and water extractable As content was below the detection limit (0.02 mg/L) of the atomic absorption spectrophotometer (AAS).
Another part of the soil was passed through a 5 mm sieve and put into 48 earthen pots each having 2 kg soils for the pot experimentation. To ensure the optimum growth of Kalmi, the test plant species, Nitrogen (N), Phosphorous (P) and Potassium (K) fertilizers were added at a rate of 260 kg Urea/ha, i.e. 0.259 g/2 kg soil; 188 kg TSP/ha, i.e. 0.188 g/2 kg soil and 98.5 kg MP/ha, i.e. 0.099 g/2 kg soil respectively  .
The experiment was conducted by following a factorial experiment. Four different doses of Zn (0, 1, 2 and 3 mg/L) and of As (0, 0.5, 1 and 2 mg/L) were selected as treatments. The different rates of Zn were supplied as 300 ml ZnCl2 solution during pot preparation and the doses of As was applied with daily irrigation water. Arsenic solution was prepared by dissolving 80% Na-meta arsenite and 20% Na-arsenate and application of As doses were started after 10 days of germination of Kalmi. The control treatments did not receive either Zn or As. The plants of these pots were irrigated with As free tap water.
Kalmi plants were harvested by uprooting them after 45 days of their growth. Then, after washing and weighing for fresh weight, the samples were cut, oven dried and sieved with 0.2 mm sieve and digested with concentrated nitric acid for further chemical analysis. On the other hand, soil samples, collected from pots after harvesting of plants, were air dried, ground and sieved through a 0.5 mm sieve and extracted with DTPA and distilled water for the analysis of Zn and As respectively.
All the data in the present experiment were statistically analyzed by using Microsoft Excel and MINITAB (version 17) packages. The results of experiment were statistically evaluated in the form of one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).
3. Results and Discussion
The fresh and dry matter yields of Kalmi as affected by the various combinations of As and Zn treatments are shown in Table 1 and Table 2. The values presented in the tables are averages of three individual replications. There were 5 plants in each pot and the results presented here are in g/100 plant basis.
Table 1 shows that the highest amount of fresh matter was obtained for the treatment combination of As0.5Zn0 and the minimum amount was produced for the treatment As0.5Zn3.
On the other hand, as for the dry matter production, As0.5Zn3 treatment produced the maximum while the minimum amount was obtained for the As2Zn1 treatment (Table 2). The table also shows that at zero Zn application and zero As application the fresh matter yield was low. With the increase of As dose to 0.5 mg/L, yield was increased and attained the highest value. It could be due to the

Table 2. Dry weight (g/100 plants) production of Kalmi (Ipomoea aquatica) plants at different combinations of As and Zn.
fact that at low concentration of As, the P availability or Fe availability was favored which caused this yield increase. Similar observations were found at low concentration of an antagonistic or otherwise not essential element favor growth with Na for a different crop  . It needs to be further mentioned that the fresh matter yield was better than control for all the other treatments.
The analysis of variance (ANOVA) test indicated that the effect of elevated dose of Zn (3 mg/L), on both fresh and dry matter production of Kalmi, over different rates of As application was significant (P value = 0.010 for fresh weight and P value = 0.030 for dry weight production), whereas the effect of other doses of Zn (1 and 2 mg/L) on different levels of As was found to be not significant. On the other hand, when Zn was absent, the dry matter production showed a significant increase with increasing As in the soil indicating the fact that the soil lacked sufficient Zn supply (P value = 0.034).
The results (Table 1 and Table 2) clearly indicate that the higher doses of As caused reduction of yield of Kalmi plants, especially when the dry matter production was reduced. It may be due to the harmful impact of As on plant metabolism as As was also reported as a well-known metabolic inhibitor  . Supporting this hypothesis, it was also reported that the higher concentrations of As interfere with metabolic processes and inhibit plant growth, sometimes leading to death  . Growth reduction of several plants due to higher doses of arsenic was also reported by  . Lower biomass production of plants resulting lower synthesis and lower pigment concentration due to increasing levels of As in plant-soil environment was also reported by  .
Water extractable As in soils and plant As concentration for different combinations As-Zn treatments are shown (Figures 1-4).
It is to be noted that the control treatment where no Zn was added, showed the maximum concentration of As both for soils and plants, but with the increase in Zn level, As was found to be decreased. However, a slight increase in the concentration of As, found in native soil in an absolute control treatment (As0Zn0), was found which could be due to the solubilization of some of the total As by the root exudates (usually the organic acids), or it could have been added as an impurity from the P-fertilizer used.

Figure 4. (a) 2 mg/L of As in soils; (b) As in plants 2 mg/L of As in soil with different levels of Zn. with different levels of Zn.
With regard to increasing doses of Zn fertilization, it was recorded that the As availability was countered indicating an interacting effect between Zn and As. Higher doses of Zn was found to decrease the mobility of As (Figure 1(a), Figure 2(a), Figure 3(a) and Figure 4(a)) in soils as well as the plant Zn concentration (Figure 1(b), Figure 2(b), Figure 3(b) and Figure 4(b)) under the present experimental condition.
One of the causes of such decrease might be the precipitation or fixation of As as Zn-arsenate, which makes it less mobile and unavailable to plants  .
(Insoluble and unavailable to the plant)
This tends to indicate that Zn could alleviate As accumulation in plants. As per the free-ion activity model (FIAM)  , the uptake of As by kalmi plants was reduced as the free-ion activity or availability of that element was reduced from the surrounding soil solution which is similar to the findings of  .
This observation also corroborates to the findings that of a similar trend for As-Zn interaction in a submerged soil  . Correspondingly, it was reported that the toxicity of arsenic may be reduced by applying sulfates of zinc, iron and aluminum to the soil  . An increase in arsenic concentration was correlated with decreasing application of graded levels of Zn as Zn-sulfate was also reported  .
All the values of water extractable As in soils and plant uptake of As were found to be highly significant (P value < 0.001).
It is evident from the result of the experiment that, higher doses of Zn fertilizers were found to suppress As availability in soils as well as the plant As contents. In this experiment, it was found that among all the doses, the maximum dose of Zn (3 mg/L) had the maximum antagonistic effect on As as it reduced the soil extractable As concentration from 0.25 to 0.18 mg/kg and the plant As concentrations from 9.85 to 7.51 mg/kg dry weight for the maximum Zn dose (3 mg/L).
On that note, it can be suggested that Zn fertilizers, especially ZnCl2, can be used to reduce As toxicity from soils as well as to reduce plant As contents, but of course within the critical limit value of Zn for plants.

Many scientists think an Earth-like planet is our best bet for finding alien life, but new research may have just turned that assumption on its head. A paper published Oct. 5 in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface suggests that planets with little to no atmosphere or sunlight might also be able to support life thanks to cosmic rays.
Cosmic rays are beams of high-speed particles flying through space at nearly the speed of light, according to NASA. For planets that are wandering through space without a star to orbit, cosmic rays could provide enough high-energy radiation to power underground colonies that don't receive much sunlight or atmospheric protection.
The idea is modeled after a bacteria called Desulforudis audaxviator that lives underground on Earth, according to Popular Science. Radioactive elements like uranium break up water molecules into food for the bacteria. Cosmic rays could do the same thing for underground microbes on other planets, according to the new research.
"For this mechanism to work, the planetary object should have a thin or no atmosphere at all so that more energy from cosmic rays is available in subsurface environments," study author Dimitra Atri, an astrobiologist at the Blue Marble Space Institute of Science, said in an email. "Atmosphere acts as a shield and reduces the energy reaching below the surface. For example, the Martian subsurface receives about 1,000 times more energy from cosmic rays than the Earth."
Does this mean we should widen our search for alien life?
The short answer is yes, according to Atri.
"Yes, since this is an additional energy source that life could use (which has been overlooked before), it is possible that life might exist on planets that are very different from us," Atri said.
Only a handful of known planets outside our solar system are similar to Earth. This new research suggests we shouldn't necessarily limit our search to those worlds.
Scientists are already working on ways to send space probes beyond our solar system to investigate other planets.

It may be shrinking quickly in your rear-view mirror, but we hope your summer break was restful and gave you the chance to relax away from the stresses of work.
We recognise that the business of looking after other people’s health is one that is full of distinct and often reoccurring challenges. Doctors deal with workplace demands that few other professionals encounter; heavy workloads, fear of misdiagnosis, compassion fatigue, presenteeism, emotional exhaustion, lack of collegial support and shift-work strain, just to name some. These demands often lead to high-levels of anxiety and/or depression among health professionals, as well as impacting on their physical health.
And yet, despite caring so well for others, doctors are less likely to care for their own health.
This year we’d really like to change that.
Your health is our #1 priority and we’d love it to be yours too. Start 2018 off on the right foot by booking a health-check.
Doctors know more than most that early detection through screening and GP health checks can drastically reduce the incidence of diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and skin cancer.
By having regular health-checks and building a relationship with your own physician, evidence-based preventative healthcare gains can be made. If you work in a GP practice, or even if you are filling one of our locum doctor jobs, show that you value the notion of doctors taking care of their own health by eschewing those ad-hoc ‘corridor consultations’ with busy colleagues. If you are in contact with junior doctors, modelling self-care behaviour can go a long way to lifting the culture and attitudes of a practice by actively demonstrating that self-care is important.
We need to take care of one another.
So please, call your own independent doctor today if you haven’t had a health check up in the past year.


The developers of the RM25 billion Penang Global City Centre (PGCC) project have been telling us how green and carbon-free their project is going to be.
But what they didn’t tell us is they actually wanted to cram in as much as they could into the Turf Club land to maximise profits. In fact, they wanted a density that would have made it twice the density of Hong Kong!
Somehow, the PGCC’s Teheran-born architect, Nasrine Seraji, managed to convince the developers that no one would want to live there if they went ahead with their original plan.
Even so, it looks like the PGCC could end up with 33 tower blocks of over 40 storeys each. That is still massive.
And isn’t there going to be any social housing – low and low-medium cost housing – in the Turf Club site itself?
