Harnessing the vital energy of plant buds for detoxification and rejuvenation
• The uses and healing properties of 34 tree and plant buds, including hawthorn, maple, and lilac
• Catalog of more than 30 common ailments and their remedies
• Resources for obtaining the remedies and preparation guidelines
Gemmotherapy–the medicinal use of plant buds and young shoots–harnesses the healing power of trees and shrubs at the peak of energetic activity in their annual cycle, capturing powerful nutrients, vitamins, plant hormones, and enzymes. Perfect for combatting the unavoidable amount of pollutants we encounter in modern society, gemmotherapy is primarily aimed at draining the body of toxins and acts by gently stimulating and promoting elimination. The potency of these plant “stem cells” also enables gemmotherapy remedies to treat far more ailments than just those for which these plants are prescribed in traditional herbalism. This therapy can be used to treat many common conditions, such as asthma, osteoporosis, kidney stones, and anxiety, and is especially effective at alleviating allergies.
This book describes the gemmotherapeutic uses and healing properties of 34 trees and plants, including hawthorn, maple, lilac, as well as covering the history and biological foundations of gemmotherapy. It contains a catalog of more than 30 ailments with in-depth remedy protocols, a resource section, and detailed information on how gemmotherapy extracts are prepared. An adjunct to both traditional herbalism and homeopathy, gemmotherapy offers an all-natural path to detoxification and healing with no side effects.

WeWork was joined by Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and the City of Atlanta’s Women’s Entrepreneurship Initiative (WEI) 2018 cohort to celebrate the grand opening of its fourth Atlanta location with #LiveFromTerminus.
The Terminus location opened June 1 and this week’s the ribbon cutting ceremony was largely a celebration of Atlanta’s ever-growing entrepreneurship ecosystem.
“We know that Atlanta leads the nation in the number of women-owned businesses,” said Theia Washington Smith, WEI ’s founding Executive Director and Power 25 Honoree in a live interview with Dana Barrett.
“We also want to be the city that helps these businesses stay in business and helps them become job creators.”
“So much of what we are doing in Atlanta has been about us building upon building, upon building.” – Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms. #TBT to yesterday’s #LiveFromTerminus event, with Mayor @KeishaBottoms and entrepreneurs of the 2018 WEI cohort. #WeiAreLive pic.twitter.com/aqbM9yMzAp
— Atlanta WEI (@AtlantaWEI) July 12, 2018
WEI was launched in 2014 under Mayor Kasim Reed to improve Atlanta’s economy and provide women entrepreneurs with the connections and resources needed to grow and sustain their businesses. The 15-month program provides 15 entrepreneurs with access to mentors, office and event space, as well as social and financial capital. Smith says this support from the city has helped more women entrepreneurs establish important connections beyond “their local circle.”
“This helps [to] really expand their outreach and their ability to expand their business capacity,” she said.
This is exactly what Bobby Condon, WeWork’s Southeastern General Manager, says draws the coworking company to various partnerships (such as our upcoming Mimosas and Movemakers Networking Receptions) “where we can help grow entrepreneurs and accelerate that growth and give them a platform– not just locally but globally– to grow. That’s an easy thing for us to get involved in.”
Similarly, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms hopes to continue to support WEI and other initiatives to encourage entrepreneurship communities as the new norm for business.
“It’s about doing things differently. When we think about how businesses have traditionally been successful, we know that the model has been completely shattered. Being here today really represents what the new normal is in terms of doing business and growing your business.”


So Manchester United were a matter of minutes plus a Michael Carrick ice-cream away from a terrible end to 2016. But on the birthday of Sir Alex United rose once more to notch up their fifth straight win. They were in 6th place when this run of victories commenced and now they are happy grazing in, well, 6th. Still, remember when the world got all carried away when Pep won five in a row? That seems like such a long time ago now, almost like a different year. In Fergie’s time, and I don’t mean the last few minutes of a match, United would get any decision going at Old Trafford. Those days are definitely gone as Zlatan had a goal ruled out through sheer stupidity and Martial should have been given a penalty for nearly having his ankle broken after a shot. But, United end 2016 happier than they started it, that’s for sure. The comeback had some people on social media enquiring as to whether it was 1999 all over again. No mate, that was against Bayern in the Champions League final. This was at Old Trafford against a team only just promoted from the Championship.
The league leaders do seem to have the one thing that “proper football” people seem to love, and they have it in abundance. Of course I am talking about character. Lesser teams, or teams with less character, would have folded when Stoke threatened to make a game of it at the Bridge. Conte’s men are hungry and well drilled and surged again to open up the kind of daylight on New Year’s Day that suggests a title is coming their way. As for Stoke’s left back Eric Pieters, Victor Moses sent him so far the other way he has just celebrated New Year in 2011. People can get excited that Chelsea conceded a whole two goals in one game, but there is no sign of a decline here. Move along.
Liverpool and City finished off 2016 with Klopp meeting Pep on, what some people claimed, was a level playing field. I have no idea what kind of pitches they played on in the Bundesliga, but hey. If they mean a level playing field financially, said pundits clearly haven’t looked at the difference between the two clubs spending in the last five years. Anyway, Liverpool won which keeps them “annoyingly” close to Chelsea. If six points back can be classed as annoying, that is. Raheem Sterling fell over in the 37th second and still hasn’t been seen since. Pep has work to do, he might end up turning to Jesus.
Is anyone else finding the new bromance between Big Sam and Arsene a little off-putting? Also, another cause for concern is the size of Allardyce’s head on that Sky Sports graphic. He must struggle with jumpers, that’s all I can say. Arsene said that each defeat left a scar on his heart, so I can’t imagine that the legendary Frenchman carries a donor card with what he’s been through in the last ten years. Still, his heart will have skipped a beat when he saw how Giroud wanted to start his year. Forget Mhki’s scorpion, Oli saw that and raised the stakes somewhat. How so, United fans will probably question? Mhki’s was pulled off after the game was done and dusted. Giroud’s was in the heat of the battle. It’s as simple as that for me. If Arsenal get into a decent run they’ll certainly finish in the European spots.
If my memory serves me correctly, Kane and Alli did something pretty good last January that got some of us all excited about Spurs and the knock on effect for England in the summer. That didn’t work out too well, so I am reserving judgement on what beating Watford 4-1 away from home means to the bigger picture. Spurs played very well against the Mr Hyde version of Watford. Has there been a more inconsistent side recently? Both sides played three at the back which proves the point that it doesn’t really matter what formation you play, if your players are still at their New Year’s Eve party mentally you are going to lose.
Leicester ended 2016 in a way that their fans will appreciate having been used to, well, winning really. Their 1-0 victory over the Hammers pleased Ranieri as it got them to 20 points, which is half of his traditionally favourite number, 40.
It really doesn’t look good for David Moyes and Sunderland. In David’s own words, Sunderland were dire and failed to cope with a side akin to many in the Championship which is where, frankly, Sunderland are likely to be finishing 2017. So they had better come up with a way of beating teams like this, no? Burnley are better when Steven Defour plays and Andre Gray helped himself to a hat-trick.
Who would be crazy enough to take over Swansea, hey? Oh, Paul Clement you say? The latest example of a world class assistant not making a good number one is getting another go having failed quickly at Derby. Having spent a lot of money. Failed at Derby. Gets the Swansea job. Yeah, football right? Imagine failing having spent all that money in any other walk of life and getting a job at a bigger company. He must have mentioned the fact he once coached Ronaldo a couple of times, I reckon. Anyway, he has his work cut out as Swansea’s moral took another gentle tickle in their battering by Bournemouth.
Finally today, China. You know a country’s league still hasn’t quite made it when any bid from a team in said league is referred to as the country making the bid. Confused? “China in bid for Costa!” That’s because nobody knows any of the clubs that are in the league and, honestly, the players couldn’t care less as they are blinded by the pay packets on offer. Carlos Tevez has trained three times as still doesn’t know who he has signed for. Anyway, China clearly feel their league needs a little more theatre as they have made a double swoop for Diego Costa, who looks like he might know a thing or two about eating dogs, and the world’s number one referee, Mark Clattenburg. Please, please take the latter. And his mates. Well, colleagues as I am quietly confident Clatts doesn’t have many mates.


Recent polling shows that almost 30 percent of Clinton supporters and nearly 20 percent of Obama supporters say that if their preferred candidate doesn't win the nomination, they'll vote Republican.
I'd thought that some of the divisions in the Democratic party were largely superficial. Differences on policy positions between Hillary and Obama aren't that significant; hell, some of their own handlers call them "nuanced", which seems code for "once we find out how our candidate is different from their candidate we'll let you know."
Besides that, there seem to have been some obvious attempts to fiddle the Democratic primary results.
The NPR story seems to indicate a deeper division. Makes me wonder if the Democrats will hand the Presidential election to the Republicans, just like they did in 2004.

Duke Lacrosse Rape case Prosecutor Mike Nifong stripped of law license for a clear case of intentional prosecutorial misconduct" that involved "dishonesty, fraud, deceit and misrepresentation."
RALEIGH, N.C. — District Attorney Mike Nifong was disbarred Saturday for his "selfish" rape prosecution of three Duke University lacrosse players — a politically motivated act, his judges said, that he inexplicably allowed to fester for months after it was clear the defendants were innocent.
"This matter has been a fiasco. There's no doubt about it," said F. Lane Williamson, the chairman of the three-member disciplinary committee that stripped the veteran prosecutor of his state law license.
Even Nifong and his attorneys supported the decision, though the veteran prosecutor refused to admit to the end that no crime occurred at a March 2006 lacrosse team party.
The committee said Nif

Berry Ridge Farm
Ann and Ron Branch grew up on family farms in Minnesota. Ann was an active 4-H member and Ron was honored as an FFA District Star Farmer and served as state FFA vice president. The couple met at the University of Minnesota where Ann earned a degree in home economics education and Ron in agriculture.
Ann and Ron purchased the land for their farm in 1984 and built a house a year later. They started selling produce in 1988.
In 1992, the Branches pioneered the use of high tunnels in the farm’s specialty crop operation and now the family has six high tunnels to maximize production on their 11-acre farm. The Branches’ sons, Carl and Eric, began working on the farm when they were young. At age 10 the boys used a Farm Service Agency Youth Loan to build their own high tunnel. Carl is enrolled at the University of Minnesota. Eric graduated from the U of M this spring and begins a graduate program in plant pathology at Cornell this fall.
The Branch family raises a wide variety of produce including strawberries, raspberries, tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, green beans, beets and cut flowers. Over the years, Berry Ridge Farm has hosted University of Minnesota on-farm research.
Ron has served as president of the Minnesota Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association and is involved with other organizers that include the Douglas County Farm Bureau, Douglas County Master Gardeners and he helped organize the Minnesota Farmers Market Association. Ann helps at their local farmers market with demonstrations promoting the fresh produce sold by vendors.

Heart Problems? High Blood Pressure? Angina? Atherosclerosis?
Please help us. We need your input!
Though it has not been confirmed how excess weight plays a role in the exact cause of back pain, it has been observed that individuals who are overweight are likely to develop joint pain, muscle strain, and back pain when compared with their slimmer counterparts.
This article highlights potential weight gain hazards and their implications for developing back pain. We also cover ‘step-by-step’ instructions on how you can make better use of diet, weight loss plans and exercise to tackle your back pain challenge.
Common weight gain problems
Common problems associated with weight gain include:
- Lower back pain
- Joint pain
- Muscle weakness
- Inability to breathe when participating in strenuous activities
- Body image and self-esteem issues
- Postural distortions
An important point to note is that if physical tasks makes you tired/fatigued or contribute to breathing complications, you might avoid participating in exercise altogether. This creates a foundation for the development of different types of back pain in your body.
How obesity leads to back pain
According to the findings of the American Obesity Association, the occurrence of back pain and musculo-skeletal pain are common features amongst about one-third of the obese individuals who are American citizens.
The Association also confirmed the severity of back pain and its link to obesity as more people who are overweight complained that they lack the strength to perform their daily duties.
Weight gain and your spine
Musculoskeletal and joint-related pain are examples of common obesity-related health issues. It is crucial for overweight individuals to start a comprehensive weight loss plan as each added pound is known to bring discomfort to the ligaments and muscles located in the back.
In this case, the spine will feel the impact of excess weight and may shift from it’s neutral alignment into an altered state. As time goes on, your back muscles may weaken, excess stress and pressure is placed on your lower back and you may start to experience back pain throughout the day.
The severe pain often witnessed in the lower back region has a connection with obesity. Individuals who have additional weight in their stomachs can testify as the excess weight pulls the pelvis forward thereby paving the way for lower back pain.
Conditions related to obesity
It is likely that overweight or obese patients may also experience sciatica (nerve pain) from excess weight.
Sciatica can be caused by excess weight or pressure being place on the spinal vertebrae.
There could also be the presence of piriformis syndrome and pinched nerves when additional weight finds its way into the spaces between the bones located in the lower back region.
It is also interesting to know that a patient’s weight plays a major role in the efficiency of back surgery. Overweight patients are more liable to face health complications and contract infections after the completion of their surgery than other patients who are not obese.
It is an excellent idea for those who are obese to shed some weight before going for back surgery as it has the power to hasten the recuperation process after surgery.
Identifying the need for weight loss
Medical doctors often utilize Body Mass Index (BMI) as a tool. The value of your BMI metric may determine if you are carrying too much weight.
Though there has been some discussion about the exact meaning of BMI measurements, a BMI value of 30 is seen as obese. A value of 25 to 29.9 is tagged as overweight.
It is imperative to know the location of the excess fat in and around your body. For example, individuals who have more weight around their midsection region are exposed to health disorders related to obesity like lower back pain.
Weight loss plans
The following approaches to weight loss seem to work for many people:
- The cabbage soup diet
- The 5-2 fasting diet
- The low carb high protein diet
While there is no single answer to tackling weight issues, we do know that increased weight leads to increased changes of health issues such as lower back pain. The extra load your body has to carry results in poor posture, excess stress and pressure, and joint pain.
Being overweight often prevents you from enjoying your favorite activities and from living an active lifestyle. It is advisable to talk with your local G.P. on strategies to help reduce excess weight. For back pain, consider the recommendations of a chiropractor such as The Back Clinic Bexley.

I want to warn you that I am not an expert in traveling, nor do I think myself an expert in anything.
As a National Park Ranger, I have noticed a few things that visitors seem to not know when visiting National Parks. When I meet upset visitors while working I do my best to make them feel better when they leave me. Usually when a visitor is upset it is due to three possible things; they’re tired, hungry/dehydrated, or misinformed. I want you to enjoy our National Parks, because they were set aside for us to enjoy and share with our families and friends. Check out my Support Our Parks page.
Here are some tips (mostly reminders) on ways to make a trip to a National Park a little more enjoyable.
DO SOME RESEARCH: Have you ever checked to see if their were any National Park Service Units near you? There are 401 different National Park Units throughout the Country! Differing from battlefields, monuments, rivers, parkways, recreation areas, lakeshores, and seashores. When you find a park you want to visit, look at their website online.* Find out what you can do, and if certain activities need any tickets or extra fees. When you get to the park, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND stopping and visiting with rangers at a visitor center or Ranger Station. I know some of you may not like talking with us, but it will help you get oriented quickly in the park. The visitor centers are also a great place to get information on specific activities you are interested in doing. With today’s technology getting better and better as the years pass, some places within the parks now have pretty decent cell phone signal. Check out these National Park Apps for more help in doing your park research.
*Here’s a secret tip! Take the first two letters of each word in the park’s name and add it to the end of http://www.nps.gov/
(For Example: Mesa Verde National Park = http://www.nps.gov/meve or Yellowstone National Park = http://www.nps.gov/yell)
KNOW WHAT YOU WANT: Many visitors come up to me and say “Well, what is there to do here? What do you recommend?”. There is nothing wrong with these questions …… if you add more to them. Tell me what you like doing. Do you like hiking and do it often? Do you enjoy wildlife viewing and hope to see certain animals while here? Are you really into plants or birds? Talk with us! We want you to have the best trip possible, and if we don’t know what you like or really hope to do, we can’t guide you in the right direction. If I don’t know you are a big hiker, and enjoy long hikes, me recommending to do a short easy hike won’t make your trip special. This is where doing your research before hand helps, it gives you a direction to start asking questions in. Now don’t worry if you don’t have access to the internet to be able to do research. You can always do it when you enter the Visitor Center.
KEEPING THE MEMORIES: The National Park Service offers many different opportunities for you to learn more about the park. The Junior Ranger Program, the Wilderness Explorer, Geo-Ranger, Junior Paleontologist, and many more! Each park is different, so be sure to ask what the park at the Visitor Center. Most parks shouldn’t object if you as an adult wants to complete the Junior Ranger program. Even if you don’t want to get the badge, it is a great way to have information right at your fingertips! Last summer I did a campfire program on Encouraging a Child-Like Curiosity. There are other ways to keep memories and keepsakes of your visit. From collecting Passport Stamps from each park you visit, magnets, and more! Check out this post from The Long Way Around for more ideas on how you can keep those memories.
GETTING IN: You’re at the entrance of your National Park, and it kinda feels like the entrance fee is expensive. What many people don’t understand about the fee to enter National Parks is the fact that not all parks collect and entrance fee. Only 133 of the Nation’s 401 National Park Units have a fee to enter the park, the parks that do have a fee, 80% of the money collected goes directly to that park for improvements! (New bathrooms, education/visitor centers, roads/trails improvement, park ranger salary, etc) The remaining 20% is then put into a special account for the other 268 parks that do not have an entrance fee. This was put into act by the Federal Recreation Lands Enhancement Act; be sure to check out Sec. 7, which is about page 20. (If you like to read legal mumbo jumbo! As you can tell, I do not!) If you plan on visiting more than 4 National Parks in a year, you should look into purchasing an annual pass for $80. If you are a senior over the age of 62, there is a Senior lifetime pass available for $10. Discounted or free passes are also available for active US Military members and people who have permanent disabilities. Please, check out what the America the Beautiful Federal Recreational Land Passes has to offer!
BE PREPARED: Most National Parks do offer some type of concessions inside the park, especially if it’s a big park. However, you should always be ready with lots of snacks and drinks with you. With all the exploring and sightseeing you will be doing, you’re going to be hungry and thirsty quite often! Bring lots of clothes, for both warm weather, rain, or cold weather. Sunblock, bug spray, and a first aid kit can always come handy as well. One of the saddest parts about visiting National Parks is the pet policy of each park. Be sure to check the rules and regulations when it comes where and when your pet can be. Understand that these restrictions are for the safety of the resources and animals in the park. Most importantly, for the safety of your pet. Also know that you can get a ticket in a National Park or be arrested for criminal behavior! Law Enforcement Rangers are there to protect the resources as well as the visitors and the laws/regulations are there for our safety. Follow the speed limits, stay back the requested distance from animals, and use common sense. Before heading into any park, fill up your gas tank at the last city you drive through. Some of the big parks do have gas stations located inside, but its going to cost ya just a little bit more!
Your plans will change. It’s going to happen, no matter how much you fight it.
There are more and more studies finding a positive correlation to spending time outdoors with our mental and physical health.
However, you won’t feel those positive benefits if you are worried or upset about things. Living in the Free World has some great tips on ways to maximize your fun when visiting a National Park!
Talk with a ranger if you have any questions. Like I said, we want to make sure you have a good visit.

Sep 01, 2021Identity technologies company HID Global says it aims to expand its geographic reach and grow its UHF RFID portfolio, along with hybrid Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, with its recent acquisition of Omni-ID (see HID Global Acquires Omni-ID). By bringing Omni-ID's products and development to HID's Identity Technologies (IDT) business area, the firm is continuing its expansion into identification technologies for people, places and things, according to Marc Bielmann, HID's senior VP and head of ID technologies.
That effort, Bielmann says, helps to extend HID's position as a leading component supplier for RFID and IoT applications. HID's strategy with the acquisition, he explains, is to increase its offering of IoT hardware devices for passive and active tagging, tracking, monitoring and alerting applications. Such applications are expected to serve several markets, including industrial, oil and gas, and transportation, in which rugged UHF RFID solutions are required.
Omni-ID makes RFID tags and Industrial IoT (IIoT) hardware devices The company, launched in 2007 in the United Kingdom, began manufacturing industrial UHF RFID tags directed at the above markets for challenging environments, including those containing heat, wind, dirt or explosives. The firms offers five passive UHF RFID product families: IQ, Flex, Fit, EXO and Adept. Each has different characteristics aimed at addressing a broad range of use cases, from printable on-metal labels to ultra-rugged hard tags. In addition to the passive UHF products, Omni-ID has a growing range of active devices based on BLE and LoRa technologies.
Omni-ID has offices in the United Kingdom, as well as sales headquarters in Rochester, N.Y., with other offices in China and India. In 2020, it began expanding its offerings to include complementary IoT technologies, such as Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and LoRa, along with GPS, according to Tony Kington, Omni-ID's CEO. The firm has also expanded its customer base with a focus in the logistics, industrial, energy and healthcare markets.
As more companies are using RFID technology with sensors, Omni-ID has begun to offer passive UHF temperature sensing to its RFID portfolio. Since last year, the firm has been developing active RFID tags, as well as hybrid technology solutions, in partnership with BLE companies Quuppa and Wirepas, which Kington predicts will complement the HID Location Services offerings.
Omni-ID's 170 employees will continue to operate as part of the unit within the IDT business area. For HID Global, that means additional engineers and key personnel with more than 15 years of RFID experience. In recent years, Omni-ID has seen what it calls significant growth in the logistics sector, with deployment of its UHF tags on returnable transport containers, plastic skids and metal frames that carry products, such as engines or gear boxes, from manufacturing plant to core assembly.
The company's tags are in use on roll cages, such as those from Container Centralen (see Flower and Plant Transporters Leverage RFID to Authenticate, Track Trolleys). "That whole [industrial] sector is very active," Kington says, "and we're seeing percolation outwards into the E.U. and U.S.," as well as in developing countries such as Bangladesh, which is seeing large-sale adoption in logistics and transportation. "It's almost an organic bubbling-up of technology adoption" in the past few years, he states.
In addition, Omni-ID has been addressing momentum in industrial applications within manufacturing sites to manage work-in-progress. The healthcare sector is also using the company's products for asset management at hospitals and clinics, as well as for sample identification and for condition monitoring—for instance, in coolers that store medicines, tissues or food.
Regionally, Kington reports, most new RFID and IoT adoption growth has been in Asia. "Asia Pacific has been incredibly strong for us," he says, while Europe and the United States have seen steady growth. Many products being offered address the same core issues that Omni-ID sought to address at the time of its founding. "The UHF RFID piece [of the IoT equation] is hugely valuable because of is relatively low price, but if you look more broadly, we are very excited about BLE and complementary technologies."
In addition to building BLE or LoRa IoT connectivity into its existing products, Omni-ID will be working closely with HID's IoT Services business unit. Kington describes Omni-ID's offerings as complementary to what HID already provides, stating, "There's very little overlap, so when you put our two portfolios together, there is a huge degree of coverage," in terms of leveraging RFID and other technologies.
With regard to the acquisition, Bielmann says, the combined development and portfolios will help HID to provide a one-stop shop built on the two firms' common technology bases. The companies have created what they call an "RFID powerhouse," Kington says. "It's very exciting to be a part of that," he states. "They [HID] have a broader portfolio and a rich background in LF and HF." As a combined entity, he notes, "In terms of agility, the ability to develop products at speed, and a core base of intellectual property, we're very strong."
Omni-ID's products will add a new offering to HID's IDT product portfolios, Bielmann says, and additional development is expected to follow. "Furthermore," he adds, "products with synergies from both HID and Omni-ID will be rationalized to bring improved features to customers and markets." Omni-ID has several new products that are currently undergoing pilots with customers.
These products, Bielmann reports, include sensor labels with Axon chips, Wirepas's compatible devices that will be released in the fourth quarter of this year, and Omni-ID's Asset+ product that combines LoRa, BLE and GPS. The latter is being tested by early adopters in North America for yard management. Going forward, Kington says, Omni-ID expects to take part in more BLE technology development with HID. "We've already started communicating with [HID's] IoT Services Group," he states, "that focuses on that technology,"

how fast do clown plecos grow
It is the only way in which it can turn out to be successful.eval(ez_write_tag([[300,250],'inlandaquatics_com-leader-3','ezslot_13',113,'0','0'])); Many of the Plecos can’t be bred successfully using artificial methods.

Clown Plecos are referred to numerous as “suckerfish” because of the state of their body and mouth and are regularly sold as green growth eaters despite the fact that a significant number of them eat little green growth. Moreover, don’t forget to include lots of plants in your aquarium. I'm not really a fan of plecos, but I don't mind him if he doesn't get too big. People say keeping two different species of Plecos is a bad idea since they become enraged and sometimes can go out of control. If you plan on starting small, these fish do well in tanks that can hold up to 30 gallons when they’re juveniles. They usually grow to a little over 3 inches and is a brilliant fish to have in your tank.

Tiny Clown Plecos come out of the eggs. By doing this, you can boost up their protein. It can grow up to 3-5 inches in its first year. The caves can be easily made out of PVC pipes. What's the prop that a star took home from 'That '70s Show'? It’s quite obvious, given they only grow … If you ask me how big the caves should be, they must be twice the size of fishes. Be it any disease, treat them as soon as possible and heed all the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Except in some cases where they rarely get aggressive and lock horns with other fishes in order to protect their territories. They are beginning to show some territorial behavior though. The breeding tank of Clown Plecos must have a lot of hiding places to spawn to make their habitat more exciting and ideal. She couldn't remember, but … He was given to me when he was 12 inches long, so I asked his previous owner when she bought him. There maybe some people who will grow up to 6 inches in a few months, but they should take up to a few years in order to reach that length. You should avoid putting them in a tank with more aggressive fish as they are peaceful and can become a target. How do you think about the answers? 6 months? tank. Antibiotics can be used to treat bacterial diseases. They don’t find it comfortable to live in an aquarium that doesn’t have wood, as wood forms their significant appetite along with algae. If he gets too big for your tank, I'd recommend you see if one of your local pet stores will take him from you. Clown Plecos are not highly disease-prone, which is a significant advantage by itself. They will grow pretty fast. The antibiotics you choose must be able to destroy the harmful bacteria without killing the nitrifying bacteria of your filter as they are essential ones. If you could spot patches that are mostly white on your Clown Plecos, then it is evident that it might be a fungal infection. Do not keep them along with big fishes as there are more chances of them being eaten up.eval(ez_write_tag([[300,250],'inlandaquatics_com-leader-1','ezslot_9',110,'0','0'])); If you are looking for a fancy fish that adds radiant and astonishing colors and mood to your tank and stays small till the end, then Clown Pleco is the right choice.

Volume 72 of Hyperion's Romantic Piano Concerto series comes to the rescue of yet another neglected figure. London-born composer, pianist, writer and educator (he was an early Principal of the Royal Academy of Music), Cipriani Potter was encouraged by Beethoven and admired by Wagner. Howard Shelley and his Tasmanian forces give us the first recordings of his Piano Concertos Nos.2 and 4 and Variazioni di bravura on a theme by Rossini.
John Brunning plays a track from his featured Drive Discovery at 6.15pm every weekday.
Claire Jones: This Love
Claire Jones, the former Royal Harpist, returns after starting a family with 15 pieces of music that celebrate one thing, love, in all its forms.
"As I look back over my life experience so far, love has been a vital and central theme all the way through, and I could never have made it through those highs and lows if it weren't for the love of my family. The album, This Love is a celebration of love for one another. In my case, the love of my husband, family, and friends makes my life what it is, as does my love of music. It's this love that has kept me going in the really hard times of the illness I went through, and learning to love myself a little more was at the heart of my recovery from ME/CFS. It feels emotional and honest to be creating an album of the world's most romantic, love inspired classical melodies".
One of Wales' most outstanding classical talents, Claire became a household name in 2011 following her performance at the Royal Wedding for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and she also held the position of Official Harpist to HRH The Prince of Wales 2007-11.
David Mellor picks out his three favourite new releases every week - including his own Album of the Week, a Bargain Boxset and a Bargain Album - bringing you lots of new recordings to explore.

Congratulations to Dana Neel, who will be giving her thesis seminar titled, "ROS1 Fusion Partner Dictates Downstream Signaling Pathway Addiction in a Localization-Dependent Manner." If you can, please come out to support Dana as she finishes up her graduate work!
When: Thursday, December 14th, 4:00pm
Where: Genentech Hall, Room 114, Mission Bay
Dana is doing her graduate work in the Biomedical Sciences program as a member of Trever Bivona's lab.
Abstract: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death in the United States. Receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) fusions are recently described drivers in lung adenocarcinoma that arise from chromosomal rearrangements, resulting in the C-terminal kinase domain of an RTK attached to a variety of N-terminal fusion partners. ROS1 fusions involve several distinct N-terminal partners which lack any unifying protein domains or functions, and the significance of these individual partners on the biology of the fusions remained undefined. Here, we elucidate the importance of N-terminal partners in ROS1 fusions in mediating distinct subcellular localization of the fusions. This localization, in turn, dictates which downstream pathways these fusions are able to engage, which determines signaling pathway dependency in ROS1 fusion-positive cells. Specifically, we find that some ROS1 fusions are present on endosomes and are able to activate the RAS/MAPK pathway, while the most common fusion, CD74-ROS1, is found on the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where it is unable to engage the MAPK pathway. Mislocalization of CD74-ROS1 off of the ER to the endosome results in activation of the MAPK pathway, demonstrating that localization is critical in driving downstream signaling pathway activation. Additionally, we find that cell lines expressing ROS1 fusions that are able to activate the MAPK pathway are dependent on this pathway for survival. We reveal that ROS1 fusions that can activate the MAPK pathway form more aggressive tumors and are less responsive to the targeted ROS1 inhibitor crizotinib in vivo. Currently, the presence of a ROS1 fusion in a tumor is identified using a breakapart FISH assay, which doesn’t identify the fusion partner. Our findings suggest that distinguishing the N-terminal partner in patients could be critical both for predicting tumor aggressiveness and response to targeted therapy, and for identifying what pathway a tumor depends on and thus may reactivate upon development of targeted inhibitor resistance. This could allow for stratification to specific upfront combination therapies to delay or prevent resistance from arising.

In the context of computer vision, three-dimensional (3D) data registration refers to the process of fusing two-dimensional (2D) images, captured by cameras, in order to retrieve 3D coordinates of a scene. A camera captures the visible space as a 2D digital image plane. Inertial sensor (IS) is an electronic device which is able to measure 3D orientation between a rigid body coordinate system and the earth-fixed coordinate system using a combination of magnetometer and accelerometer. In this book, we study the subject of 3D reconstruction of a scene using 2D images of cameras accompanied by 3D orientation provided by inertial sensors. Recovering 3D information is demanded by a variety of applications from different areas including surveillance, human motion and behaviour modelling, virtual-reality, smart-room, health-care, games, teleconferencing, human-robot interaction, medical industries and scene and object understanding.

The APPLES IN STEREO have just confirmed a week-long string of dates opening for THE STROKES in late May, and have confirmed a show at the ATHENS POPFEST in August.
Elephant 6 fans take note: Olivia Tremor Control and Sunshine Fix frontman Bill Doss will be joining the Apples original onstage lineup, playing keyboards and singing backup.
In addition, The Apples in Stereo are completing the recording of their fifth studio LP next month, to be titled NEW MAGNETIC WONDER. Having completed a ten-year run with New York label spinART Records, the band is finalizing a deal with a well-known independent label to release the album, which is slated for early 2007.
Apples frontman Robert Schneider has described the new album as the "poppiest Apples record ever, a futuristic production somewhere between Fun Trick Noisemaker [first Apples LP] and The Electric Light Orchestra [popular 70's group known for lush orchestration and sci-fi subjectmatter]."
In other news, the band's website - applesinstereo.com - is set to unveil a new design by artist Steve Keene. This will be a welcome change for Apples fans, who have long lamented the band's lack of effort regarding their internet presence.

Battle Over Tamiflu
"Battle Over Tamiflu"
Researchers at the University of Oxford said that the vaccination does little to help sick children, and the vaccine's potentially harmful side-effects outweigh the benefits.
The World Health Organization disagrees -- they say that people who are violently ill with the H1N1 virus (including children) should be treated with tamiflu as soon as they can. Even the Food and Drug Administration disagrees with the University of Oxford -- the say the tamiflu vaccine is safe for all children.
The United States Food and Drug Administration as well as the World Health Organization say those people who are experiencing mild flu-like symptoms do not necessarily need to be treated with tamiflu, because as far as research can show, the flu will most likely not worsen, and the symptoms will only reduce.

What I Do With My Furry Friends Before My Next Trip
This post is sponsored by © Nature’s Recipe, LLC., all opinions are my own.
People always ask me what my husband Mike and I do with our dogs when we are traveling. Trust me, I wish I could take them with me every time I go but unfortunately, that’s not possible. If you don’t already know, I have two huge 70-80 pound dogs. Hartley is a 9 year old yellow lab who is the best dog in the entire world and basically speaks English. We also have a 3 year old Pit Bull boxer mix puppy named Griffey (after Ken Griffey Jr). Her full name is Kenzington Griffey Jr. haha. They are both really amazing dogs and we love them so much. You can find more of our pups on their own Instagram with the username @VGBdogs!
Traveling is the best and it’s part of my job. Luckily, I have some amazing parents that have a large fenced in back yard with a nice little waterfall and screened in porch that the dogs love. All I have to say is, “ready for grandma’s,” and the dogs go crazy just whining and spinning in circles by the door. They love it! There is tons of grass for them to run around and my mom throws the ball with them at least 3 times a day. Griffey does perimeter checks on the regular and just loves being outside. Meanwhile, you can usually find Hartley just laying at my mom’s feet on the screened in porch or rolling around in the grass.
I don’t want our dogs to get out of a routine, so on the way, Mike and I always stop at Walmart and grab their dog food for my parents. It fuels the wag! We choose Nature’s Recipe® Grain Free dog food. It’s made with real salmon, chicken, or lamb as the #1 ingredient and the dogs love the options. For 35 years, Nature’s Recipe has been crafting tasty, natural pet food with added vitamins, minerals & nutrients. You can check out their entire grain free portfolio here. Once the dogs hear me scooping up their dog food, they come running. Seeing them gobble up some good dog food makes me so happy!
I recommend packing an entire puppy pack or doggy daycare pack to have ready. We keep their leashes, treats, Nature’s Recipe dog food, toys, balls, more balls, the vet’s number, their personalized blankies and anything else we think they might need. Yes, our dogs are like our kids. Yes, our dogs are spoiled. No, we wouldn’t have it any other way. They deserve it. But our goal is for them to be comfortable while we’re away.
When our dogs get to my parents’ house, they run non-stop and play in their yard. They need a premium dog food that provides the nutrition needed to fuel their big life. It’s grain free and easy-to-digest, plus, there is no corn, wheat, soy, poultry by-product, or artificial flavors or preservatives and that makes me sleep easy while I’m traveling. Natural dog food is the way to go! I can’t imagine feeding my dogs anything less.
When you travel, what do you do with your dogs? What sort of routine do you have them in? Would you be open to trying a new premium grain free dog food for your furry family member? I think making the switch would be totally worth it and good for the pup!

“The LORD has founded Zion, and in her the afflicted of his people find refuge” (14:32). Just like today, in Isaiah’s time people suffered under oppressive regimes. Arrogant dictators “shook kingdoms … made the world like a desert and overthrew its cities … did not let his prisoners go home” (14:16-17). God promised to overthrow the “pompous pride of the ruthless” (13:11) and to raise up His people, Israel, as a righteous safe haven for the world.
“And the firstborn of the poor will graze, and the needy lie down in safety” (14:30). In a troubled world, God’s people are called to offer refuge in His name.

What's next for the 6-0 Buckeyes?
Indiana notched a field goal before the half, but Ohio State got the ball to start the third quarter and wasted little time adding to the lead in front of 104,093 fans at Ohio Stadium.
Haskins found Campbell wide open in the right flat and took full advantage, getting the ball to the speedster and watching him outrun the Hoosier defense for a 71-yard score that gave Ohio State a 35-20 lead.
Indiana hung around, cutting the lead to nine late in the third quarter, but Haskins tossed two more touchdown passes to put the game out of reach.
Haskins tied a school record with six touchdown passes. Kenny Guiton and J.T. Barrett (twice) also threw for six scores in a game for the Buckeyes earlier this decade.
Haskins finished with a career-high 455 yards passing, three shy of Art Schlichter’s Ohio State single-game record set against Florida State in 1981.
The Ohio State quarterback nearly broke a long-standing record for yards in a game.
Campbell finished with nine catches for 142 yards and the two scores. McLaurin, an Indiana native, caught two touchdown passes while Binjimin Victor snagged one, too.
Ohio State finished with 609 total yards.
Cincinnati native Peyton Ramsey had a big day for Indiana. The Elder High School grad completed 26 of 49 passes for 322 yards and three touchdowns.
Pete Werner, Tuf Borland and Dre’Mont Jones had sacks for an Ohio State defense that struggled in the first half but gave up only 89 yards in the second half.
The Buckeyes are 6-0, but big pass plays continue to plague them.

I really consider Bethesda Terrace in Central Parks to be a real NYC hidden gem. On this snowy day, it was going to be the perfect location for a 3 exposure HDR image…I thought I arrived early enough to get an empty shot, but other people had the same exact idea on this day. Everybody likes to come, Central Park when it snows to get photos. Anyway, I waited almost 45 minutes for the location to be empty and decide to take the shot anyway with the one person on the phone.
It was a pretty wonderful day due to fresh snowfall, the city really seemed magical. I moved on from Bethesda Terrace and spent the rest of the day; taking photos at other iconic locations like the:
- Central Park Mall
- Bow Bridge
- Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir

It’s always going to be a bit of an astonishing moment when a horse unseats its rider. Nobody can be sure of what the horse will do from that moment on. While it is the common route for the jockey to get out of the way as fast as possible, horses can continue.
Given horses are pack animals that naturally run together and like running and jumping they will often continue in the race and even make it to the finish line. Other times they have fallen themselves. It’s also the case that riderless horses have caused issues for the remaining runners. All these issues from loose horses are what we will look at here today.
We want to know the different ways that these riderless horses can affect races. Plus, we’ll have some stories on instances where horses have done their own thing. Is it possible that a horse can cross the finish line without their jockey and still win? That’s something else we’ll have a closer look at. Join us as we provide an insight into the outcomes of riderless horses in races.
Can a Riderless Horse Win a Race?
This is quite the enjoyable question to ask. It poses the obvious question of if they win, is there any reason for jockeys? Well, you can look at the example in 2019 at the Preakness event. One racer, Bodexpress, dumped his rider right out of the starting gate. He didn’t stop going, instead running alongside the other horses.
Many questioned whether it could actually go on and win the race without its rider. The answer to that question, according to official rules, is no. Horses are not able to win a race without their jockey, even if they do cross the finish line first.
Jockey John Velazquez ended up thrown from Bodexpress but people weren’t as concerned over him as they were over the horse. Most wanted it to go on and win the whole thing. The horse galloped on the outside of the pack early on in the race. Once the race was over and done, he decided to run around for a little longer, too.
In the end, an outrider caught up to him after giving chase for a short time. Velazquez wasn’t harmed in the incident, as it happens. He commented on the horse not behaving well while in the gate before the starting gun. Yet Twitter users got behind Bodexpress, showing their admiration for him.
The official ruling on that horse was “DNF” (Did Not Finish). This is despite the fact that it did finish the race. Yet this isn’t considered as true when the rider is no longer astride it. A horse cannot win without its jockey.
That rule is in place for various reasons. First, it is to keep things fair between all competitors. It is also a way of keeping the horses themselves safe. For the former rule, there is the necessary condition in place of jockey weight. This is of utmost important, for obvious reasons. To put it in a simple way, as long as a body is on the horse, it is eligible to win. Never was that the ruling taken more literally than in 1923 during a steeplechase.
In February of that year, Frank Hayes rode Sweet Kiss at Belmont Park, New York City. At some point during that race, Hayes suffered a heart attack and passed away. Somehow, he managed to stay in the saddle and Sweet Kiss passed the finish line in first place. The owner and trainer of the horse approached to celebrate, only to discover the jockey was dead. In a macabre turn of events, the horse became known to many as Sweet Kiss of Death!
Chaos on the Racetrack for Other Runners
One of the more frequent outcomes of a horse losing its rider is the chaos for other competitors. Horses without a jockey can often lose their way. Rather than moving off to the side or getting out of the way, they will often wander around in all directions. This can see them meander into oncoming horse traffic. This can cause chaotic and often dangerous situations for other horses and jockeys. For an example of this, we can turn to the 2001 Grand National event.
At the start of the race, there were 40 runners waiting to make it to the finish line. The eventual winner, Richard Guest atop Red Marauder, questioned the running of it. Looking back on it, he believed it was too muddy. “I’ve never run in worse”, he commented. Yet, the outcome could have been very different if more than four horses finished the race.
The Grand National received the go-ahead from officials. This was despite the adverse weather, including high winds. The two joint-favourites to win were Edmond and Moral Support. Yet the race was terrible from the early going. Eight horses had already fallen by the third fence. One of the runners, Paddy’s Return, continued on as a loose horse. It was this horse that caused pandemonium at the Canal Turn. Its presence there brought down several other nearby runners. That took care of nine horses, including Moral Support.
Only 13 horses remained in the race after the Canal Turn. Several more fell on proceeding fences. It was at the 19th fence that a couple of loose horses veered across the ditch. This caused upset for Papillon, Blowing Wind and Brave Highlander. Unsinkable Boxer then refused at the big ditch.
Yet it doesn’t have to be weather problems that causes horses to unseat their riders. Such was the case in November 2022, when Camprond caused chaos at Exeter. In his debut, the horse unseated jockey Aidan Coleman at the first of 15 fences. This didn’t stop Camprond from continuing, though. It leapt over the second fence better, although at the third, it cut in front of Merchant Milan. That horse took the fence at a 45-degree angle as a result. This almost led to its jockey Charlie Price falling from the saddle.
The two horses did a bit of head-butting, with Price steering his horse to the right. This looked like an effort to push Camprond off the course. What seemed like it had worked actually didn’t. Instead, Camprond ran around the next fence and back onto the track. Upon doing so, it ran right into the eventual winner, McFabulous. From there on, the horse continued to cause issues on the next several fences.
It doesn’t even have to be during racing events that a loose horse causes chaos, either. In 2014, a riderless horse caused its own sort of chaos at the Churchill Downs course. The two-year-old animal was an un-raced filly, trained by Dallas Stewart. With other horses and riders on the track in practice, the offending horse ran across the track. It collided with the rail, spilling over onto the opposite side. While managing to get to its feet, video footage showed it running wild up and down the inside. Others in attendance on horseback tried to catch up to it and put a stop to the chaos.
During the horse’s escapade, it damaged the rail, which needed replacing. The horse itself also suffered an injury to its left front leg. It received treatment for this via antibiotics.
You don’t have to look far to find instances of riderless horses causing chaos, either. It has happened many times in races over the years. In most instances, the horses remain on the racecourse, although that isn’t always the case. Some occasions have seen the horses run into other areas!
The Possibility of Crowd Invasions
The races can be a favourite event for the general public to attend. During the day, they get to wear their finest attire, enjoy the races, place a few bets, and so on. Yet it can also be a scene of sheer terror if a horse leaps into the crowd. It has happened on more than one occasion, too.
In fact, in May of 2011, it took place at the Grand Annual Steeplechase in Australia. The event, which occurred at Warrnambool, Victoria saw a panicked horse lose its rider. Confused, it took to leaping over a seven-foot boundary fence. Upon doing so, it landed amongst around 50 spectators in attendance.
Most of the time, the crowds at these events don’t expect to be the ones running. Yet with a rushing horse coming their way, they did exactly that. Amongst the “shocking” screams taking place, people entered into a slight frenzy. Seven people had to go to hospital after the incident, with five released on the same day. An 80-year-old woman and a boy of two remained in hospital but were stable. Witnesses also experienced a girl of four with blood pouring from her neck. Both the horse, Banna Strand, and its jockey remained unhurt.
Several years later, the racecourse at Sandown was the site of a riderless runner. Except this one escaped from the course altogether. On Friday, December 8, anyone driving close to Sandown would have faced an unusual sight. A horse escaped and found itself running into the road nearby.
That horse, Mustmeetalady, was being ridden by James King in an amateur’s race. Unfortunately, the gelding unseated his jockey at the first fence. While its initial route was to continue on with the circuit minus its jockey, things soon changed. Mustmeetalady ended up breaking through two sets of plastic running rails. It also smashed through the boundary of the Sandown racecourse. From there, it found its way to the nearby road. A cricket pitch at West End was its final location, where it was finally caught. This led to Sandown investigating its racecourse setup.
A Riderless Horse from a Head-butt
The final story here surrounds an incident from June of 2022. Jockey William Buick suffered quite the drama at the Derby that year. While in the stalls, he took a smack in the face from one of his rivals’ horses. While waiting for the start of the 14:00 race at Epsom aboard Blue Trail, he was head-butted. That came from the horse next to him, Approachability. Buick, stunned, grabbed a hold of the stall frame to keep his balance.
— Racing TV (@RacingTV) June 4, 2022
Seconds later, the stalls opened, and Buick was still clinging on to the frame. Unfortunately, this meant that Blue Trail set off at top speed, leaving the jockey behind. Medics cleared Buick to ride Nations Pride later in the Derby, despite his dazed status. In that race, he finished in eighth position.
Yet the remaining 13 runners in the 10-furlong race continued on. They had to contend with Blue Trail running loose throughout. It was Swilcan Bridge and jockey Hayley Turner who came out best from the chaos. She navigated the best path to finish first, despite Blue Trail’s veering.
