REAL Housewives of Orange County alum Vicki Gunvalson's daughter Briana is expecting baby number three with her husband Ryan.
Ryan Culberson shared the good news on Friday and revealed his wife-of-nine-years is due this November.
The current father-of-two wrote on Instagram: “With all the bad news going on in the world hopefully this brings a smile to your face (even if it’s behind a mask).
“November can’t come soon enough!” He excitedly revealed alongside a picture of paper clips.
In the photo, the two large paper clips represent the expecting parents and two small ones symbolize sons Troy, 7, and Owen, 5.
A mini clip is also inside one of the larger ones - which is mean to symbolize Briana, 33, and her bun in the oven.
The thrilled grandmother wrote alongside the photo: "Couldn’t be more excited to announce #3 is on its way. Congratulations Briana and Ryan."
Vicki immediately was flooded with congratulatory comments including those in the famous Bravo franchise.
Gretchen Rossi - who starred with Vicki on the OC franchise from seasons four-eight - commented: "Ahhh sooo exciting! Congrats!"
Her fiancé Steve Lodge referenced his large family: “Vicki 3 vs Steve 5. You have some catching up to do Lucy."
The expecting mother - who celebrated her 33rd birthday on Wednesday - is a nurse who has continued working through the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Ryan said in an Instagram from Mar. 17: “I get my wife back tomorrow morning! 4 of the last 5 nights she’s had to work the ER.
“I’m really not jealous of her job but super grateful there’s people that’ll do it! #nursesrule,” he continued.

Earlier this week, Vicki revealed she was forced to postpone her upcoming wedding due to the ongoing virus outbreak.
"I have called off the wedding," the reality star shared on Instagram.
She revealed she wasn't in the "mindset" to celebrate amid the current health crisis.
The TV personality added that the couple is in "no rush to get down the aisle right now."

Cop28: Key Takeaways and the Way Forward
On December 21, 2023, the Center for China and Globalization (CCG) successfully hosted CCG Thought Corner, “COP28: Key Takeaways and the Way Forward”. The event was co-organized by the Global Young Leaders Dialogue (GYLD) program and Global Shapers Beijing II Community and engaged leading experts to discuss avenues towards consensus, collaboration, and concrete action with respect to climate change. Participants in COP28 and other climate experts delivered insightful presentations, engaging in interactive exchanges with over 50 professionals from various fields representing multiple countries.
Dr. Mabel Miao Lu, Co-Founder and Secretary-General of CCG, and the founder of GYLD, in her welcoming address, reiterated CCG’s role in strengthening global governance on climate change, including organizing a side event at the Munich Security Conference (2023) and hosting a climate change roundtable at the 9th China and Globalization Forum (2023), featuring guests such as China’s Special Envoy on Climate Change, the U.S. Ambassador to China, the EU Ambassador to China, the UAE Ambassador to China, and the former UN Deputy Secretary-General.
She also highlighted the GYLD program’s consistent emphasis on climate change in its annual forums, its collaboration with the Embassy of Pakistan in China, and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Dr. Mabel Miao expressed CCG’s commitment to continue these ongoing efforts and expand collaboration with relevant institutions and experts.
Mr. Ma Jun, the founder of the Institute of Public and Environmental Affairs (IPE), fully participated in COP28 this time, engaging as an expert in various international discussions and co-releasing two reports related to China. In his keynote address, he provided a comprehensive review of the COP28, analyzing and looking ahead to important agreements reached during the event, such as the Loss and Damage Fund and the goal to triple renewable energy by 2030. During the interactive session, he shared his thoughts and practices on how to better coordinate efforts to address other environmental challenges and climate change.
Andy Yinan Hu, Director of Corporate Communications at Huawei, shared insights from a private sector perspective on why companies should participate in climate change conferences. He discussed Huawei’s vision and the initiatives undertaken in the field of climate change during COP28. His presentation generated significant interest among the audience, leading to lively interactions on topics such as how small and medium-sized enterprises can engage in actions to address climate change.
Following that CCG invited young experts to discuss their perspectives on COP28 and their outlook for the future from their respective positions. Laurent Arribe, Senior Global Business Development Manager at the Bay Area Council in San Francisco, Marie-Claire Graf, Co-Founder of the Young Negotiators Academy& Sustainability for Business; Olesia Ermakova, Director of Communication for the Global Shapers Beijing II Hub and Climate Reality Leader; Huw Slater, Energy and Climate Specialist, EU-China Project Manager at ClientEarth; Zhu Weiqing, Founder of Shanghai Treasure Carbon New Energy Environment Protection Technology Co., Ltd., and Raymond Aitibasa Atanga, PhD Student, School of Government, UIBE, a climate change researcher participated in the discussion. The event was co-hosted by Zoon Ahmed, a researcher fellow at CCG, and John Zhao, Deputy Director of CCG and Program Manager of the Global Young Leaders Dialogue (GYLD).
Laurent Arribe emphasized the importance of local governments taking practical actions to address climate change and offered recommendations for cooperation between Chinese and American local governments. Marie-Claire Graf shared insights on how to enhance the capacity and opportunities for youth engagement in climate change. Olesia Ermakova shared her first time experience attending the UN climate change conference, suggesting that future events should provide greater opportunities for youth, particularly those most affected by climate change, to participate and voice their opinions. Raymond Aitibasa Atanga discussed how to better assist Global South countries, with a focus on Africa, in achieving energy transition from the perspectives of funding and technology transfer.
Huw Slater and Zhu Weiqing focused on sharing insights in the specialized field of carbon markets. Huw Slater expressed the view that there was no progress in the international carbon market’s product standards at this conference. Zhu Weiqing shared a similar perspective, and she also illustrated the rapid development and vast potential of the Chinese carbon market over the past few years by recounting her experiences attending multiple climate change conferences. She believes that future cooperation among developing countries in the field of carbon markets holds great promise.
The audience and guests engaged in a dynamic Q&A session, highlighting critical perspectives on climate change governance, climate injustice, and the emerging role of youth, enterprises, and think tanks in effective communication and building consensus. Despite the late hour and official conclusion of the event, participants energetically engaged in exchanges and expressed their desire to partake in the next round as soon as possible.

Representatives of the so-called Donetsk People’s Republic (DNR) and the Luhansk People’s Republic (LNR) have declared that they have no intention of allowing their opponents to participate in elections.
The terrorist leaders are demanding approval rights over legislation in the new constitution of Ukraine regarding local elections in particular areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts.
Denis Pushilin, representative of the DNR militants, has declared that political forces with a negative attitude to DNR and LNR will not be allowed to participate in the Donbas elections.
“Political forces that have taken part in aggression or supported aggression against DNR and LNR will not be allowed to participate in elections,” he declared, adding that “In the future Ukrainian law on elections must reflect the laws of LNR and DNR in the elections for local self-government. It is mandatory to have the final text approved by the representatives of the republics.”
Earlier, on February 12 in Minsk, at the conclusion of the negotiations of the “Normandy Four” leaders, the representatives of the so-called “Contact Group” on the Donbas war signed the document ” A complex of measures to fulfill the Minsk agreements.”
The document was signed by Leonid Kuchma from Ukraine, Heidi Tagliavini from OSCE, Mikhail Zubarov from Russia, and also Alexander Zakharchenko and Igor Plotnitsky from the terrorist DNR and LNR.
The forth point of the document states:
“Launch a dialogue, on day one of the withdrawal (of troops), on modalities of local elections in accordance with Ukrainian legislation and the Law of Ukraine ‘On interim local self-government order in certain areas of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions’ as well as on the future regime of these areas based on this law.”

text: Well first let me start off by saying i am a 22 year old male who does not have the best eating habits but my eating habits aren't the worse either. For the last 4 years ive noticed when i work out i am very overcome by nuesea and i feel shaky in my arms and legs. This occurs even after a 5 minute workout. After sitting and relaxing i feel better in about 30 minutes. Ive recently came across hyperthyroidism while on google and i am not trying to self diagnose but i filled out the checklist and i have just about every symptom but hair thinning. My resting pulse is at about 85-90 and i am a constantly anxious person to the point to where my sleep suffers hugely. Even when i am well rested i cant get a grasp on this. My dad has a history of atrial flutter but no history of hyperthyroidism although we both share diagnosed ADHD and anxiety. Last time i worked out my pulse got up to 187 after a mile run. What is your opinion and should i be so worried?

Shell’s M/V Aiviq, equipped with spill response capabilities, departs a Seattle shipyard with Kolluk rig in tow.
(Bloomberg) — Royal Dutch Shell Plc should be barred from drilling in the Beaufort and Chukchi seas because its oil-spill plans are inadequate, Greenpeace Inc. and other environmental groups said in a lawsuit.
Greenpeace, the National Audubon Society and other groups sued the U.S. Interior Department, which approved Shell’s spill- response plans earlier this year, saying the agency violated the Clean Water Act by failing to ensure the plans can address a “worst-case oil spill.”
The approvals for Shell’s response plans should be thrown out, and offshore oil and gas activity blocked, until the Interior Department complies with the law, the groups said in a complaint filed today in federal court in Alaska. The filing couldn’t be confirmed in electronic court records.
Shell’s drilling off Alaska’s north coast will be delayed until August as the company waits for ice to clear and modifies a spill-response vessel to meet U.S. Coast Guard requirements, the company said in July.
Shell, which has spent almost $5 billion in Alaska, plans to drill as many as five wells this year. Shell’s plans to tap resources in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas, estimated to have more than 20 billion barrels of oil, have been targeted by environmental groups and native Alaskans who oppose drilling, citing the risks of an oil spill and air pollution.
Curtis Smith, a spokesman for Shell, said the company is confident the approved spill plans “will withstand legal review.”
“If regulators did not have confidence in every aspect of our oil spill response plans, we would not have the permits that we do and we would not be as close to drilling as we are,” he said.
Adam Fetcher, an Interior Department spokesman, declined to comment on the lawsuit.
The case is Alaska Wilderness League v. Salazar, U.S. District Court, District of Alaska.

“Love can be a verb and a noun, and sometimes an abstract noun” so much for the dictionary description…
Love is quite simply the most powerful creative force, self-healing energy and gift to wellbeing that exists!
Whatever achievements we wish to accomplish, if they are worthy of our precious time and energy, deserve to be invested with a large healthy dose of love. Love for what we are doing turbo-charges the transformational energy permeating right throughout our reality, ensuring any desired changes are massively more likely to manifest.
Love invested in our actions means we are absolutely trusting in what we are doing. Here is something which we are showing to ourselves and the universe truly matters! We are making a resolute commitment to see this all the way through to its conclusion for the long-term awesomeness it brings into our life…
The following exercise will begin the flowering of self-love within your heart. Please be sure to read through all the steps before starting the exercise:
- To plant the smallest acorn of self-love to grow into your inner oak tree of certainty, you need to find somewhere you will not be disturbed for the next twenty minutes. Sit in a relaxing chair or lay down if that feels more comfortable, as you start to concentrate all your attention solely on your breathing. Observe how your body feels, is there any tension anywhere? Gently move your shoulders or any other tense area of your body to release that tightness, as you continue to centre attention completely on your breathing.
- You are going on an inner journey deep into your essence to discover your Happy Point.
- Gently ponder all the many facets making up your uniqueness as the person you are. Relaxing into the sensation, choose to focus on one part of who you are which you feel happy with. And it doesn’t matter how small or seemingly unimportant this single facet may appear to be. One brilliant fraction of all that makes up the whole of you, which works so well for you and always makes you feel at ease within and happy. One selected piece of the myriad of you which sits so beautifully with you that you would never wish to change it in any way.
- Enjoy the warmth of the emotion as you concentrate all your attention entirely on how this wonderful part of you makes you feel when you think to feel deeply about it. Spend at least five minutes keeping the thought, the feeling, central to your feelings.
- Next, you need to apply a colour to that feeling. It does not matter what colour that might be, one which just seems right to your intuition is the perfect choice. This wonderful feeling now imaged together with your Happy Point colour of choice…spend some time strongly visioning this colour as you bask in the warmth of the feeling.
- Let’s see how you can bring that warm feeling into other parts of your life and begin to transform through love. I mean wouldn’t it be amazing to feel this fabulous across the entire spectrum of the rainbow of you? Let’s make this happen…
- Still focussing deeply on the amazing feelings associated with this part of you that feels wonderful, now seen together with the colour this feeling is associated with…slowly begin to re-align your attention to instead think about some other aspect of yourself that you sense needs some definite work. This can be something you dislike in your own reactions to situations or an habitual pattern of thinking you empathically know has outlived its time.
- It is important here to only concentrate on the one area you sense needs work for this session.
- As you ponder how all the emotions associated with this more challenging part of you makes you feel, gradually overlay this feeling with the colour you associated with those beautiful, warm feelings you experienced a few moments ago. All you can now see in your mind is your Happy Point colour. Feel this! You deserve to really feel this!!!
- You can return to your normal waking state when you sense you have done enough for this session.
What is happening here is the start of an inner transformational process. You are self-healing to welcome self-love into your life. Re-programming old issues through healing them once and for all. And feeling far more comfortable in your own skin and accepting of who you are.
We all have choices on which paths to take in life, we are constantly presented with potential directions we can take. And now you possess your own personal map to self-love, take the time to follow it.
We are all perfect at being ourselves, we just need reminding how. Then our higher-self, and through this our connection to source, grows stronger through every day of our life.
Any time we find ourselves facing a challenging situation or tackling a potentially toxic person, if we recall and stay focussed on the colour associated with our Happy Point, we bring love into the situation. And nothing is more empowering than love!
You might even like to reinforce this process further by wearing or keeping the colour you associate with your Happy Point around your immediate environment.
The more you practice this the easier it gets, and a natural part of the process is you experience the beginning of a transformed approach and outlook to life unfolding for you.

The 73 employees were asymptomatic and were declared free from the virus after undergoing self-isolation at the Wisma Atlet COVID-19 Emergency Hospital in Jakarta, chief of the BPKP's law and communication bureau, Eri Satriana, said in a press statement released on Friday.
"As of today, all employees who tested positive (for the virus) have been declared healthy and discharged (from the hospital)," he informed.
He said BPKP took the initiative to conduct swab tests on all employees from July to August, 2020, in collaboration with the State Intelligence Agency (BIN), the Jakarta Health Office, and Pertamina Jaya Hospital.
The move was aimed at protecting the health and safety of auditors who face the risk of contracting COVID-19 while performing their duties in the field, he said.
"Alhamdulillah (Thank God) that we have conducted swab tests on 1,767 employees, most of them auditors, in order to break the chain of COVID-19 transmission, particularly within the BPKP office," he remarked.
The number of confirmed COVID-19 cases was high since the agency had conducted massive contact-tracing of employees suspected of contracting the virus, he informed.
During the contact tracing exercise, the BPKP office was closed for 14 working days in mid-August this year and a work-from-home policy was implemented for 75 percent of its employees, he added.

The B20 was basically a necked up version of the 12.7mm Berezin machine gun. It fired the same ammo as the ShVAK (the "OF" HE-Frag round carried 6.7 grams of HE).Originally Posted by schwarzpanzer
This gun was used on the La7-FNV (approximately 386 deployed durring WWII), commonly refered to as the "3 cannon La-7".
The critical factor of this gun is its very low weight and very high reliability. Jam rates were in the 1:4000 rounds fired catagory and could often be cleared with a recharge (many guns like the Hispano have less than a 50% chance of successfully clearing a jam via gun recharging). The B-20 weighed only 25 kg including mounting hardware. This compares to:
.50 BMG = 30 kg
Hispano II = 50 kg
MG151/20 = 42 kg
MK108 = 44 kg
And none of those weights except the .50 include the mounting hardware, so add about another 20%. And most .50's were mounted in Edgewater recoil mounts and the weights of those are not included (as it is more than just a mount really). The Hispano in particular required a seriously heavy mount as it is not structurally sound on its own.
The B-20 rof was about 800 rpm in the La7 - this was a synchronized installation! Unsynchronized I believe the gun fired at 1150 rpms but I've not found any WWII data to confirm this (post-war it was used in the UBT format in bomber turrets). Muzzel velocity varied from about 770 m/s to about 825 m/s depending on the ammo type, perhaps more in the fixed mounted unsync'd installations. Ammo fit in the same belt links as the 12.7 mm ammo, so belt length was the same, therefore approximately the same number of rounds could be fit in a given gun tray as would fit for a .50 BMG. Eight B-20's could probably be mounted for just a little more cost in weight than six .50's.
So to my thinking, all things considered, the B-20 was the best aircraft gun of WWII. It had enough hitting power to down any target considering its velocity characteristics, RoF, and the number of guns that could be mounted.
As an example, consider an FW190A-8 could have carried 6 of these guns and would have been toting only 75% as much weight as the German armament of 4 x MG151/20's + 2 x MG131's, and it would have had only a little over half as much weight out in the outer guns creating less of an unsprung weight issue (which is bad for roll characteristics and overall manuverability). And the guns would have jammed only about 1/3rd as often as the MG151/20's!
For the weight of 4 Hispano's you could carry at least 10 B-20's! (including the required mounting weight).

Food and cocktails were amazing!
Trestle is a gem and I was so happy to dine there again after getting vaccinated. I had a beautiful meal and loved that the pop-up location offered a full bar. The cocktails were inventive and delightful! The meal and service were of the impeccable caliber I am used to from the team. Overall it was an outstanding experience and I’m excited to return again and again!
Wonderful food, great ambiance, terrific staff- warm and welcoming! We will definately be back with family and friends. We felt covid safe and the tables were appropriately distance from each other. Staff wore masks, and patrons wore masks too when not eating or drinking. Great evening!
Disappointing but excellent service and staff
It was our second dinner in TRESTLE in a month and we were not disappointed. The price/performance ratio is unbeatable and the food is delicious. I truly recommend them.
Trestle is amazing no matter where it is located. You can’t have a better experience in dining in SF at this price point.
The owner, Tai, greeted us warmly at the door and stopped by to chat a couple times throughout the night which was beyond kind. Her bright personality made our dining experience even more delightful. The food was excellent as well.
Menu is still solid - though not necessarily easy for vegetarians who don't want a ton of dairy. The pop up space is certainly a departure from their charming and cozy location pre-COVID. All in all, it's not exactly the same Trestle that we've known and loved, but close enough that we're happy to go back again.
Truly one of the best-kept dining secrets in town, though I doubt that will last. The food is stunning, the setting is lovely, and the crew is wonderful.
We had a fantastic meal, with attentive but not intrusive staff. The bonus pasta course was a highlight and I really recommend.
Food was well prepared, though lacked a bit of creativity.
Service was mediocre, as pacing was way off. We ordered drinks and a supplemental dish and it all came in the following order: Salad and soup first, then bread, then drink, then supplemental dish, followed by our two main dishes probably 15 mins later.
All in all, it was a good value for prefix.
Amazing service, fantastic food and such a cool pop up spot! Highly recommend!
Novel food creations and a welcoming attitude from start to finish. Prepare to be pleasantly supplied
The 3 course meal with the pasta supplement was exceptional to the palate as it was esthetically pleasing on the plate, while service was superior in an elegant space. Every bite of each meal (green garlic soup, falafel salad, trumpet mushroom and asparagus risotto, chicken roulade with bread pudding, roasted salmon, cheesecake, and brownie sundae) was balanced and satisfying. The cocktails were also nicely presented as well as uplifting with equal parts spirits and tastiness. I plan to return for another enjoyable 3 course meal soon!
Given the COVID restrictions our experience was good. We do not live in SF and might try Trestle again but I would not go out of my way to recommend it to friends. Service was good, very helpful and friendly. One or two problems with the food. My husband was served his salmon cold but as soon as he complained he was given a freshly cooked piece of salmon that was delicious. The order of our meal was mixed up... our desserts came out before our main course.. again this was quickly taken care of....
As always, very special.
Food was great, dessert was phoned in.
Great to have trestle back and the team did not disappoint.
Amazing dining experience through and through. Went on 4/7/21. Fine dining experience without the fine dining prices. Amazing service, amazing ambience, amazing food at a price point that won't break the bank.
The only thing difficult is finding the entrance to the parking (and the security actually checks your trunk lol) which is on Pine Street past Montgomery going up the hill.
Everything was really memorable from the hand-written note on our table to help celebrate our anniversary to the sleek club-like atmosphere where they currently are at The Vault, to the escalator with all the tulips in the middle, to the amazing service from beginning to end. Josh was our server. Hostess was extremely friendly as well.
Pro-Tip: they don't automatically serve bread but make sure you ask for it because that's some of the best dang bread I've ever had...basted with butter on both sides and then grilled...crunchy on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth tender on the inside.
We enjoyed every dish they had; though my wife found all of their dishes on the saltier side, I really enjoyed the seasoning on each dish. When we went, we had green garlic soup, salmon, chicken roulade, and a deconstructed cheesecake. We got the supplements of spaghetti carbonara and asparagus risotto for an extra $12 and are glad we did because both had a lot of flavor. All their dishes are very unique and not something we've had before. I love that they change their menu weekly...makes me want to come back for sure.
Amazing restaurant and their new location is much larger and more homy.
Portions were quite small, especially the entree.
I always love Trestle and the new space was a delight! I felt incredibly safe, and I can't wait to come back.
Birthday. Place was very good.
I always love going to Trestle because the food is delicious and I always get something new because of their changing menu. The location was convenient, beautiful and very spacious so I felt safe with all the distancing between tables.
Loved the entire staff and food!
Perfection! This is the best deal for a fabulous dinner in San Francisco. The food is consistently fabulous and innovative.
Great food and service at reasonable prices.
Delicious food and great service! I didn’t feel like I was in a restaurant, it was very intimate.
Fantastic food and service. Could not recommend highly enough.
The menu wasn’t great. The fish was terrible. Not a great scene felt like I was in a hotel lobby.
The team there did a great job of taking care of us. The food was very good - unique combinations and flavorful.
Indoor dining that was socially distanced and the excellent service that Trestle is known for. Food was delicious and I’m excited to return.
Always love going to Trestle. The food is amazing, every time. The service is great. The new pop-up venue has cocktails and they are innovative and delicious.
Trestle has alway been one of the best prix fixe menus around, and its wonderful that they have been able to re-open as Trestle pops up at The Vault.
The room is beautiful, tables are well spaced, there is a full bar with fun and interesting cocktails. Our dinner was excellent, we ordered the full menu (with the pasta course) and couldn't pick a favorite because everything was so delicious. I'm not stating the specific dishes because the menu changes, but you can be sure they will always be good.
The folks there are so nice, knowledgable and professional, you get the feeling that they love food, wine and creating a great night out. I hope everyone will support this amazing place!
Great experience. Loved the food and service. Keeping up!
Three gal pals and I went to Trestle’s new pop up at the Vault to celebrate...and it was WONDERFUL. The group of us range from cautious to moderate on the COVID - comfort scale. This was all of our first time eating indoors in a restaurant since COVID started a year ago.
I have eaten at Trestle’s permanent location many times and always enjoyed the ambiance, service, food, and attention to detail. This experience was no different.
The COVID protocol was exceptional: only four people allowed in a section of the restaurant- we only saw one other set of diners and they were over 15 feet away. The service was excellent and the food as good as I remember.
Highly recommend visiting Trestle in their new pop up at the Vault.
The place is great, elegant and the staff are responsible and care about your safety in Covid. It felt safe we enjoyed our food, and our time there
The atmosphere is affected by the distance between tables. Server was distracted by a patron who monopolized his time with conversation.
Trestle is one of my favorite restaurants and I missed it during COVID 19z
We went to Trestle pop-up at the Vault in SF. We were very pleased with everything—the beautiful three courses (we also added a pasta course), the cocktail, the wine by the glass, the excellent and friendly service, the setting, and the very reasonable price. We can’t wait to visit again. (We are comparing to other first-rate SF restaurants of our exoerience, like Acquerello, Absinthe, A16, and Zuni Cafe.)
Trestle is rated 4.8 stars by 1589 OpenTable diners.
Yes, you can generally book this restaurant by choosing the date, time and party size on OpenTable. Due to local restrictions, this restaurant may not be accepting reservations at the moment.

Government census figures reveal that 320,932 newcomers came to Canada in the past year. That’s the highest number on record. Among them were thousands of Syrian refugees who began arriving in November 2015 and now number over 30,000.
New arrivals for the first half of the past year were up 33 per cent over the previous year. The total population of Canada was of April 1, 2016 was 36,155,487, an increase of 106,966 from January 1, 2016.
Minister wants more immigration
Immigration Minister John McCallum wants to increase the number of immigrants to Canada to offset the rapidly aging population and has said that Canadians support that.
However, a survey conducted for The Globe and Mail in August suggests 39 per cent feel Canada should accept fewer immigrants in 2017, 37 per cent said the levels should be the same and 16 per cent said more newcomers should be accepted.
Foreign-born make up 20 per cent
Statistics Canada found people who are born outside of Canada make up 20.6 per cent of the population and that is the highest proportion among G8 countries.
The government agency also reports:
“Asia (including the Middle East) was Canada’s largest source of immigrants during the past five years, although the share of immigration from Africa, Caribbean, Central and South America increased slightly.
“The vast majority of the foreign-born population lived in four provinces: Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec and Alberta, and most lived in the nation’s largest urban centres.”

We can all easily recall the stuffy nose, watery eyes, scratchy throat, and more that comes with having a cold. If we’re lucky, the virus only hangs on for a couple days before moving on to the next unsuspecting victim, but in some cases, colds can last for a week or more.
Dogs and cats are also susceptible to a variety of contagious illnesses. But as cold and flu season drags on, pet owners may be wondering: Can pets catch colds from humans?
If you’ve cuddled up on the couch with your pet lately and noticed that his breath was less than fresh, it might be time for a pet dental exam. Bad breath is often the first sign of dental disease, a common but preventable condition in pets.
So common, in fact, that it is cited as the most common health problem in pets, according to the American Veterinary Dental College. By the time pets are 4 years of age, over 85% of them have some form of dental disease, whether it be gingivitis or periodontitis. More than bad breath, dental disease can cause significant pain, tooth loss, and even systemic disease of major organs when bacteria from your pet’s mouth enter the bloodstream.
A pet dental exam is the first step in determining the extent of the problem, and normally occurs as a part of your pet’s annual wellness visit. But what exactly happens at a pet dental exam, and what can it show? Blue Valley Animal Hospital is decoding the pet dental exam, here.Continue…

It was a beautiful night in Austin, as Wilco took the stage at Stubb's for the first of a two-night stand. The set list covered their entire career, bringing songs from A.M. through their recent Sky Blue Sky. My favorites included Jesus, Etc., Hate It Here, Heavy Metal Drummer, Outta Mind Outta Site, Misunderstood, Shot in the Arm, I'm the Man Who Loves You, and a rousing Kidsmoke to end the first encore. OK, I have a lot of favorites.
Tweedy had rare, yet choice, comments for the Austin crowd. He said that Austin audiences were the best, and they tell that to lots of audiences, but usually they lie. But, Austin is really the best. "Austin knows how to make a band feel special. Austin knows how to make a band feel pretty." Then later, after a perfectly executed hand-clap, Tweedy declared, "Austin, you are superior in every way." OK, we're suckers for those kinds of compliments, but we'll take them.
Looking forward to more of the same...yet different...tomorrow night.

How Can I Tell if My Eucalyptus Tree in a Pot Is Dead?
A eucalyptus losing leaves in summer and failing to put on new growth are concerning signs, particularly if the plant is growing in a pot. Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus spp.) species, such as the silver dollar tree (Eucalyptus cinerea), are typically grown outdoors as landscape trees within U.S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 8b to 11a, although they can also be grown as potted plants, according to North Carolina State University Cooperative Extension Service. Eucalyptus trees can suffer multiple problems when grown in pots, some of which can cause them to die. Figuring out if a eucalyptus tree is dead or just injured is the first step to bringing it back to health.
Check for life in a eucalyptus tree by gently bending the stems to see if they are pliable and scraping the bark to see if it is green below the surface.
Finding Signs of Life
The earliest and most obvious signs of trouble in eucalyptus plants shows up in their foliage. Eucalyptus trees will die back with hard frost but can return in spring, while eucalyptus plant leaves drying out or falling off in summer is a sign that their growing conditions or care need an upgrade.
If a eucalyptus plant completely loses its leaves, it could mean that the plant has died from poor growing conditions or that it has entered into dormancy due to very dry or hot conditions. Inspect the stems and branches for signs of injury or illness, such as soft spots on the bark or discoloration. If there are no obvious signs of illness or injury, then it's likely that the leaf loss is due to stress.
One of the surest ways of checking for life in a potted eucalyptus tree is to lightly scrape or scratch the bark to see if it is green beneath the outer layer. If the stems are flexible and green beneath the outer layer of bark, then the eucalyptus plant is still alive and may just need to have its growing conditions and care adjusted to bring back its vigor and good looks.
Growing Eucalyptus Plants in Pots
Adjusting the growing conditions of a eucalyptus plant that has lost its leaves takes a little troubleshooting. If the leaves are mainly missing from the tips of the branches, then the leaf loss is likely the result of too little water, while leaves missing from the base of the branches is probably caused by too little light. Eucalyptus trees grow best in full sun, although potted specimens benefit from some light midday shade. Choose a location with good airflow and protection from direct sun during the hottest part of the day.
Another possible culprit for failure in potted eucalyptus trees is a pot that is too small. Eucalyptus plants are actually trees that can grow to 60 feet or more when grown in the ground, and their root systems are extensive. Try repotting the eucalyptus into a larger pot and inspecting the roots to see if they are circling the pot. PennState Extension recommends cutting the roots in several places using a utility knife to encourage lateral growth, which will help the plant produce and maintain new foliage.
Eucalyptus Plant Indoor Care
Eucalyptus plants need a moderate amount of care when grown in pots indoors. Logee's Plants for Home & Garden says that potted eucalyptus plants grow best when their soil goes through wet and dry periods, like the natural cycle of flood and drought they sometimes experience outdoors.
Water deeply whenever the soil feels dry an inch or so beneath the surface, adding water until it runs freely from the base of the pot. Dump out any water that drains into the catch basin beneath the pot because eucalyptus trees can suffer from root problems if left to sit in water for too long. Feed the plant with a balanced fertilizer every month during the summer to promote lush growth.
Pruning will not only help keep a potted eucalyptus down to a manageable size but it can also improve its shape and keep it healthy. Prune in spring after new growth emerges, snipping off any unwanted growth along with any stems or branches that look weak or weedy. Use very sharp, sanitized pruning shears to prevent illness or infection.

Thermistors act as a passive component in a circuit. If a line voltage thermostat is used, system power (in the United States, 120 or 240 volts) is directly switched by the thermostat. IGCSE Physics: Thermal Physics. Newer digital thermostats have no moving parts to measure temperature and instead rely on thermistors or other semiconductor devices such as a resistance thermometer (resistance temperature detector). abdun96. This serves both as "NO" and "NC". A thermostat exerts control by switching heating or cooling devices on or off, or by regulating the flow of a heat transfer fluid as needed, to maintain the correct temperature. (physics) a self-acting apparatus for regulating temperature by the unequal expansion of different metals, liquids, or gases by heat, as in opening or closing the damper of a stove, or the like, as the heat becomes greater or less than is desired. May be used to start a fan when it is becoming hot, i.e. Learn a new word every day. The heating capacity of a heat pump decreases as outdoor temperatures fall. Warren S. Johnson (1847–1911) of Wisconsin patented a bi-metal room thermostat in 1883, and two years later filed a patent for the first multi-zone thermostatic control system. A multiple zoned system can save considerable energy by regulating individual spaces, allowing unused rooms to vary in temperature by turning off the heating and cooling. Definition, Procedure & Reagent 3:28 abdun96. The power through the thermostat is provided by the heating device and may range from millivolts to 240 volts in common North American construction, and is used to control the heating system either directly (electric baseboard heaters and some electric furnaces) or indirectly (all gas, oil and forced hot water systems). Operation of the supplemental heat is controlled by a second stage heating contact in the heat pump thermostat. A ‘thermostat’ is a device to monitor and control the temperature of an area by controlling the heat input, It is formed from two words, meaning heat and control. Purely mechanical control has been localised steam or hot-water radiator bi-metallic thermostats which regulated the individual flow. This function is often referred to as "lockout". Thermostat. These sense the air temperature using the differential expansion of two metals to actuate an on/off switch. The operating temperature is determined by the composition of the wax. Line voltage thermostats are most commonly used for electric space heaters such as a baseboard heater or a direct-wired electric furnace. Most digital thermostats in common residential use in North America and Europe are programmable thermostats, which will typically provide a 30% energy savings if left with their default programs; adjustments to these defaults may increase or reduce energy savings. "1CO" wil also have one contact set, even if it is a switch-over with three terminals. Perhaps the most common example of purely mechanical thermostat technology in use today is the internal combustion engine cooling system thermostat, used to maintain the engine near its optimum operating temperature by regulating the flow of coolant to an air-cooled radiator. Although the thermostat may indicate the system is in defrost and electric heat is activated, the defrost function is not controlled by the thermostat. Residential heat pump thermostats generally have an "O" terminal to energize the reversing valve in cooling. Test your knowledge - and maybe learn something along the way. It often consists of a bimetallic strip that bends as it expands and contracts with temperature, thus breaking and making contact with an electrical power supply 2. a similar device that actuates equipment, such as a sprinkler, when a certain temperature is reached Note that there is no trace of thermostat left except for the temperature. The advantage of the low voltage control system is the ability to operate multiple electromechanical switching devices such as relays, contactors, and sequencers using inherently safe voltage and current levels.   These dummy thermostats are in effect a type of placebo button. If P 1 is the lung pressure, P 0 is the atmospheric pressure, then if the difference is ‘h’ then lung pressure can calculated as follows.. P 1 = P 0 + hρg.. Hysteresis can be controlled with specialized blended mixes of hydrocarbons; tight hysteresis is what most desire, however specialized engineering applications require broader ranges. The SI unit is the joule but the electronvolt is often used in atomic physics laser a source of high-intensity optical, ... esp the atmosphere thermostat a device that maintains a system at a constant temperature. Some programmable thermostats - those that offer simple "millivolt" or "two-wire" modes - will control these systems. Thermostats work on the principle of thermal expansion. Cooling anticipators are generally non-adjustable. Students investigate circuits and their components by building a basic thermostat. The Millivolt system also makes it unnecessary for a special electrical circuit to be run to the water heater or furnace; these systems are often completely self-sufficient and can run without any external electrical power supply. stop the fan when it has become cold enough. In all cases, the manufacturer's instructions should be considered definitive. Thence, to the heater's controller. The tube ends in a chamber sealed by a diaphragm. stop the heater when it has become warm enough. "Wax Pellets"", Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, High efficiency glandless circulating pump, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Thermostat&oldid=998854566, Articles needing additional references from March 2009, All articles needing additional references, Articles with unsourced statements from June 2009, Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License, 24 volt (Return line to appliance; often strapped to Rh and Rc), Temperature Sensor (Usually outdoors on a Heat Pump System), 2nd stage/emergency heating or indicator lights, User programmable (usually for humidifier). A principal use of the bi-metallic thermostat today is in individual electric convection heaters, where control is on/off, based on the local air temperature and the setpoint desired by the user. "NO" stands for "Normally Open". At some outdoor temperature (called the balance point) the ability of the refrigeration system to transfer heat into the building falls below the heating needs of the building. Rep., 2001. This "control air" system responds to the pressure changes (due to temperature) in the control tube to activate heating or cooling when required. A thermostat can often be the main control unit for a heating or cooling system, in applications ranging from ambient air control to automotive coolant control. Electronic thermostats have an electronic equivalent. Any leading number stands for number of contact sets, like "1NO", "1NC" for one contact set with two terminals. A wax pellet driven valve can be analyzed by graphing the wax pellet's hysteresis which consists of two thermal expansion curves; extension (motion) vs. temperature increase, and contraction (motion) vs. temperature decrease. When people do the molecular dynamics(MD) in the canonical ensemble(NVT), a thermostat is introduced to modulate the temperature of a system in some fashion. A wax pellet driven valve can be analyzed through graphing the wax pellet's hysteresis which consists of two thermal expansion curves; extension (motion) vs. temperature increase, and contraction (motion) vs. temperature decrease. The power is supplied by a transformer, and when the thermostat makes contact between the 24 volt power and one or two of the other wires, a relay back at the heating/cooling unit activates the corresponding heat/fan/cool function of the unit(s). For tankless "on demand" water heaters, pilot ignition is preferable because it is faster than hot-surface ignition and more reliable than spark ignition. This reduces the risk of equipment wear from too frequent switching, although it introduces a target system temperature oscillation of a certain magnitude. Their poor efficiency is acceptable in water heaters, since most of the energy "wasted" on the pilot still represents a direct heat gain for the water tank. What made you want to look up thermostat? A cooling anticipator generates a small amount of additional heat to the sensing element while the cooling appliance is not operating. The temperature-sensitive signal may be electronic, as that produced by a thermocouple. Domestic water and steam based central heating systems have traditionally been controlled by bi-metallic strip thermostats, and this is dealt with later in this article. Thermostat definition is - an automatic device for regulating temperature (as by controlling the supply of gas or electricity to a heating apparatus); also : a similar device for actuating fire alarms or for controlling automatic sprinklers. 25 terms. To prevent excessively rapid cycling of the equipment when the temperature is near the setpoint, a thermostat can include some hysteresis. To improve the comfort of the occupants of heated or air-conditioned spaces, bimetal sensor thermostats can include an "anticipator" system to slightly warm the temperature sensor while the heating equipment is operating, or to slightly warm the sensor when the cooling system is not operating. It has been reported that many thermostats in office buildings are non-functional dummy devices, installed to give tenants' employees an illusion of control. The source of the 24 volt AC power is a control transformer installed as part of the heating/cooling equipment. Modeling Thermostats with COMBIN37. In modern vehicles, the vacuum actuators may be operated by small solenoids under the control of a central computer. In scientific literature, these devices are often broadly classified as thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs). May be used to start a heater when it is becoming cold, i.e. Each lesson includes informative graphics, occasional animations and videos, and Check Your Understanding sections that allow the user to practice what is taught. It often consists of a bimetallic strip that bends as it expands and contracts with temperature, thus breaking and making contact with an electrical power supply.  The programmable thermostat article provides basic information on the operation, selection and installation of such a thermostat. n Thermostat (Physics) A device which automatically regulates temperature, or provides a signal used by another device to regulate temperature. The most common types of mechanical thermostats typically use either bimetallic strips or bellows filled with gas. A mechanical heat anticipator is generally adjustable and should be set to the current flowing in the heating control circuit when the system is operating. This type of thermostat operates using a sealed chamber containing a wax pellet that melts and expands at a set temperature. These example sentences are selected automatically from various online news sources to reflect current usage of the word 'thermostat.' Water and steam based central heating systems have traditionally had overall control by wall-mounted bi-metallic strip thermostats. ), n. [thermo- + gr. 15 terms. A variety of thermostat methods are available to add and remove energy from the boundaries of an MD system in a realistic way, approximat- ing the canonical ensemble. HVAC systems with the ability to modulate their output can be combined with thermostats that have a built-in PID controller to achieve smoother operation. Some programmable thermostats are available to control line-voltage systems. Fixed contact screw. Flexible wire.  This is one of the first recorded feedback-controlled devices. With non-zoned (typical residential, one thermostat for the whole house) systems, when the thermostat's R (or Rh) and W terminals are connected, the furnace will go through its start-up procedure and produce heat. Thermostats use different types of sensors to measure the temperature. The thermopile produces sufficient electrical power to drive a low-power gas valve, which under control of one or more thermostat switches, in turn controls the input of fuel to the burner. With zoned systems (some residential, many commercial systems — several thermostats controlling different "zones" in the building), the thermostat will cause small electric motors to open valves or dampers and start the furnace or boiler if it's not already running. For the French cooking oven temperature scale, see, Electrical and analog electronic thermostats, Ignition sequences in modern conventional systems. For the levels to differ the pressure P1 must be greater than P2, hence. How to use thermostat in a sentence. Many thermostats can be paired with smart speakers you may already own—we compiled a list of all the best devices that are compatible with Amazon Echo and Google Home, and our top-rated choice, the Emerson Sensi Touch Wi-Fi Smart Thermostat, made both lists. The electric heat in defrost mode is needed to keep the system from blowing cold air inside the building. thermostat \ther"mo*stat\ (? Delivered to your inbox! Send us feedback. Some residential and many commercial heat pump thermostats use a "B" terminal to energize the reversing valve in heating. Early technologies included mercury thermometers with electrodes inserted directly through the glass, so that when a certain (fixed) temperature was reached the contacts would be closed by the mercury. A thermostatic mixing valve uses a wax pellet to control the mixing of hot and cold water. One of the first industrial uses of the thermostat was in the regulation of the temperature in poultry incubators. , Component which maintains a setpoint temperature, This article is about the temperature regulating device. Thermostats are sometimes used to regulate gas ovens. Example datasheet of current art thermostat, exhibiting lockout functionality : Gas Mark § Other cooking temperature scales, Learn how and when to remove this template message, "Tierie, Gerrit. Heat pumps therefore have a provision for occasional defrost of the outdoor coil. "NC" stands for "Normally Closed". A typical heat pump is fitted with electric heating elements to supplement the refrigeration heat when the outdoor temperature is below this balance point. Bi-metallic sensing is now being superseded by electronic sensors. Every measurement an experimenter makes is uncertain to some degree. The elements are then used in the "reheat" function. Example. 1. Sometimes a thermostat combines both the sensing and control action elements of a controlled system, such as in an automotive thermostat. This is the same as "COR" ("Close on Rise"). A thermostat, when set to "cool", will only turn on when the ambient temperature of the surrounding room is above the set temperature. (General Physics) a device that maintains a system at a constant temperature. In older vehicles the thermostat controls the application of engine vacuum to actuators that control water valves and flappers to direct the flow of air. When correctly adjusted this reduces any excessive hysteresis in the system and reduces the magnitude of temperature variations.  Other thermostat used for process/industrial control where ON/OFF control is not suitable the PID control can also makes sure that the temperature is very stable (for instance, by reducing overshoots by fine tuning PID constants for set value(SV) or maintaining temperature in a band by deploying hysteresis control.). : an electrical resistor making use of a semiconductor whose resistance varies sharply in a known manner with the temperature Examples of thermistor in a Sentence Recent Examples on the Web Most laptops sense heat on a single point where a thermistor is placed.

However, these thermostats are often used to detect the temperature in the zone, even though their controls are disabled. The passenger side tank of the radiator is used as a bypass to the thermostat, flowing through the heater core. This is done by reversing the cycle to the cooling mode, shutting off the outdoor fan, and energizing the electric heating elements. Most also have a clock, and time-of-day and even day-of-week settings for the temperature, used for comfort and energy conservation. Since the heat pump has electric heat elements for supplemental and reheats, the heat pump thermostat provides for use of the electric heat elements should the refrigeration system fail. This is the same as "OOR" ("Open on Rise"). Tide: It is the rise and fall of sea level due to the gravitational forces of the Moon and Sun. A common application is to permit operation of an electric water heater at a temperature hot enough to kill Legionella bacteria (above 60 °C (140 °F)), while the output of the valve produces water that is cool enough to not immediately scald (49 °C (120 °F)). Hysteresis can be controlled with specialized blended mixes of hydrocarbons; tight hysteresis is what most desire, however some applications require broader ranges. ... SEE FULL DEFINITION. This follows the same nomenclature as described in Relay (Force-guided contacts relay) and Switch (Contact terminology). Units with relays will operate millivolt systems, but often make an audible "click" noise when switching on or off. Typically the central system would be switched on when the temperature drops below the setpoint on the thermostat, and switched off when it rises above, with a few degrees of hysteresis to prevent excessive switching. A thermistor is a special type of resistor whose resistance decreases as its temperature increases.. A plot of resistance against temperature for a thermistor is shown above. If the thermostat is too close to the source controlled then the system will tend to "short a cycle", and numerous starts and stops can be annoying and in some cases shorten equipment life. For real problems, it is tedious and time-consuming to simulate the thermostat functionality to regulate the temperature with this procedure. On the other hand, if the temperature of the controlled area falls below the desired degree, then it is advisable to turn the thermostat to "heat". Line voltage thermostats are sometimes used in other applications, such as the control of fan-coil (fan powered from line voltage blowing through a coil of tubing which is either heated or cooled by a larger system) units in large systems using centralized boilers and chillers, or to control circulation pumps in hydronic heating applications. Thermostats are used in any device or system that heats or cools to a setpoint temperature, examples include building heating, central heating, air conditioners, HVAC systems, water heaters, as well as kitchen equipment including ovens and refrigerators and medical and scientific incubators. This is done by energizing a reversing valve (also known as a "4-way" or "change-over" valve). Moving contact attached to the bimetal coil. Thermostat: It is a device used to keep the temperature in some place with in a set range. Transformer: It is a device whose normal use is to transfer electrical energy with a change in voltage between input and output. Increasing the difference between the thermostat setting and the desired temperature therefore does not change the time to achieve the desired temperature. Thermostats are used in any device or system that heats or cools to a setpoint temperature, examples include building heating, central heating, air conditioners, as well as kitchen equipment including ovens and refrigerators and medical and scientific incubators. It is a device that is used to maintain fluctuating temperature and make it constant. abdullahbm17. When in emergency heat, the thermostat makes no attempt to operate the compressor or outdoor fan. The expansion of the chamber operates a rod which opens a valve when the operating temperature is exceeded. The reversing valve, controlled by the thermostat, causes the change-over from heat to cool. Which of the following refers to thin, bending ice, or to the act of running over such ice. Another benefit is that there is still some flow through the radiator if the thermostat fails. Energy, Washington, DC, Tech. Modern thermostat control was developed in the 1830s by Andrew Ure (1778–1857), a Scottish chemist, who invented the bi-metallic thermostat. Cornelis Drebbel. 26 terms. This type of device is generally considered obsolete as pilot lights can waste a surprising amount of gas (in the same way a dripping faucet can waste a large amount of water over an extended period), and are also no longer used on stoves, but are still to be found in many gas water heaters and gas fireplaces. The heat pump is a refrigeration based appliance which reverses refrigerant flow between the indoor and outdoor coils. He invented a mercury thermostat to regulate the temperature of a chicken incubator. The majority of modern heating/cooling/heat pump thermostats operate on low voltage (typically 24 volts AC) control circuits. This covers only devices which both sense and control using purely mechanical means. This principle governs the switching off or on of the electric circuit. Electricity. Electromechanical thermostats use resistance elements as anticipators. During heating, the outdoor coil is operating at a temperature below the outdoor temperature and condensation on the coil may take place. Working of a Thermostat. It could consist of only a temperature sensor and a control switch. Baseboard heaters will especially benefit from a programmable thermostat which is capable of continuous control (as are at least some Honeywell models), effectively controlling the heater like a lamp dimmer, and gradually increasing and decreasing heating to ensure an extremely constant room temperature (continuous control rather than relying on the averaging effects of hysteresis). It is commonly connected to one of these systems, turning it on or … A thermistor is a component whose resistance changes when its temperature changes. Depending on what is being controlled, a forced-air air conditioning thermostat generally has an external switch for heat/off/cool, and another on/auto to turn the blower fan on constantly or only when heating and cooling are running. According to encyclopedia.com, the thermostat definition is, Thermostatis an automatic device that regulates temperature in an enclosed area by controlling heating or refrigerating systems. This function is normally activated by an "E" terminal on the thermostat. There are no standards for wiring color codes, but convention has settled on the following terminal codes and colors. It consists of a gas-filled bulb connected to the control unit by a slender copper tube. Purely mechanical thermostats are used to regulate dampers in some rooftop turbine vents, reducing building heat loss in cool or cold periods. A thermostat is a component which senses the temperature of a physical system and performs actions so that the system's temperature is maintained near a desired setpoint. The control air typically is maintained on "mains" at 15-18 psi (although usually operable up to 20 psi). As nouns the difference between temperature and thermostat is that temperature is (obsolete) the state or condition of being tempered or moderated while thermostat is a device that automatically responds to changes in temperature by activating a heating or cooling … The illustration is the interior of a common two wire heat-only household thermostat, used to regulate a gas-fired heater via an electric gas valve. Electronic thermostats, instead, use a thermistor or other semiconductor sensor that requires amplification and processing to control the heating or cooling equipment.

are the result of an international collaboration of designers and architects under Howard Chen’s design team leadership. Howard Chen has worked closely with renowned Dutch designer Guido De Groot and a group of International consultants to develop a contemporary take on the long range yacht, while capitalizing on builder Jet Tern Marine’s high quality construction and reputation for experience and innovation in the displacement yacht sector. The Selene 128 motor yacht is an ocean trawler. Although the yacht is taking design elements from the new Selene 92 motor yacht, of which the first yachts are currently under construction, the Selene 128 yacht is a true 3 deck displacement motor yacht with a sundeck as 4th deck. The 128 has a modern look and will be the longest yacht in the new range of Selene yachts. Selene Yacht’s concept is simple – to get you there safely and efficiently.

I am fortunate that I have a little disposable income that I can afford to use up on my hobbies now and again. Before the trek earlier this year, I had to invest in some new outdoor clothing. The biggest purchase was a new pair of walking boots – worth their weight in gold as my feet luxuriated in them all the time I was away (well, not all the time otherwise no one would have come near me for the smell).
Then there was the bathroom. Not strictly speaking a luxury or hobby related payment there. And tonight a new lens for my camera. Well, not new – I can’t afford new. But a good quality example from a trusted retailer. It’s a purchase made as a result of seeing some fantastic photos on a friend’s blog (click on the Katylizrichards link over there… no, no, over there… and look at the ‘Rose in the Sunshine’ entry).
When I was in college, I spent a few weeks exploring macro photography but it was mainly testing parameters and depths of field for specific lenses. I decided as part of my push to try new things to give macro another go and seeing Kate’s superb macros was the final straw.
Retail therapy really works.
Nice one !
Yay! thank you very much for the lovely comments! Hope you have lots of fun with your new toy 🙂

La guinguette d'Angèle
Time Out says
Friendly warning! We're working hard to be accurate. But these are unusual times, so please check that venues remain open.
A second detox kitchen from Angèle Ferreux-Maeght, in the 11th.
After her miniscule takeaway on rue Coquillère in the 1st, superfood guru and gluten-free queen Angèle Ferreux-Maeght’s has put down roots in the trendy 11th arrondissement. And this time, the effervescent blonde and her kale chips have gone for an altogether more countrified vibe. With pots of hyacinths, sprigs of lavender, a few garden tables and folding chairs, it could almost be Marie Antoinette’s garden. Today’s dish (the menu changes daily) is a well-balanced lunch box of rice, herb pesto, smoked tofu, turmeric humous, roasted ras-el-hanout carrots and toasted nuts. It’s generous, delicately put together and prompts a fun game of ‘guess the vegetable’. And above all it’s downright satisfying – you won’t be reaching for the cookie jar an hour after finishing this delight.
With spring on the horizon, we can picture it already: a spot of sun on the terrace, carrot, ginger and apple juice in hand and a slice of delicious matcha-iced carrot cake in the other. And if ever the restaurant is full, get lunch to takeaway and sit in the adorable square Gardette, just a few metres away.

Dec. 17, 2014 - Insect forecasting maps for next season in Alberta are being posted online.
Scott Meers, insect management specialist at Alberta Agriculture and Rural Development, says the maps will help producers plan the upcoming year appropriately. The first two maps are up, and focus on wheat midge and wheat stem sawfly.
In the wheat midge survey, there was none found in the Peace region of the province which is a complete reversal of the previous year. Central Alberta has some hot spots with high counts, and southern Alberta has quite low numbers with the exception of some irrigated fields in the Taber/40 Mile area.
In the wheat stem sawfly survey, the numbers are looking extremely low -- the lowest numbers Meers says he has seen in 10 years.
Four other forecasting maps covering cabbage seedpod weevil, pea leaf weevil, bertha armyworm and grasshoppers are scheduled to go live in January.
The maps can be found here.

For the life of me, I can't figure out California government. The state appears to be dominated by Democrats, yet the state government seems to take its plays right out of the right-wing Club for Growth playbook. And the proposition program seems like a recipe for disaster! I can't even tell who the good guys are:
Reporting from Sacramento -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and lawmakers scrambled Wednesday to avert a financial meltdown, and public officials across California braced for annihilating cuts on the day after voters trounced their leaders' rescue plan for the state.
Within two hours of returning from Washington, D.C., the governor huddled behind closed doors with Democratic and Republican legislative leaders to grapple with a projected $21.3-billion budget shortfall for the coming fiscal year and stop state government from running out of money by July.
But the Republican governor delivered at least a bit of good news: Obama administration officials had backed off their threat to rescind $6.8 billion in federal stimulus money.
The hacking of government began quickly, by the hand of a little-known state panel that sets elected state officials' pay. Citing a need for shared sacrifice, the group decided to reduce those salaries by 18% starting next year.
Otherwise, on a bright, clear morning in the capital, the most certain thing was the dark and angry mood of the voters. They had overwhelmingly rejected a package of ballot measures intended to produce about $6 billion through the middle of next year with taxes, borrowing and other means; limit future government spending; and bolster the state's rainy day fund.
Only a measure to punish elected officials by denying them pay raises in deficit years won approval -- easily.
Schwarzenegger, who alienated himself from fellow Republicans in February by reversing his pledge not to raise taxes, took the results as a mandate for the plan he unveiled last week to slash billions from education, healthcare, law enforcement and social programs, and to borrow $2 billion from local governments.

The first global meeting to assess the prospects and risks related to artificial intelligence (AI) and the use of robotics for law enforcement was organised by the Innovation Centre of the International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol) and the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI) through the Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics, according to a WAM report.
The latest robots, virtual communication tools and facial recognition software were on display at the “Interpol Global Complex for Innovation” this week, where many experts gathered to consider the practical law enforcement applications of these new technologies.
Held on 11th and 12th July, the two-day event brought together around 50 law enforcement participants from 13 countries and partners from the private sector and academia, to exchange expertise on the latest developments in AI and robotics, and discuss how these developments can be used by law enforcement agencies to support their activities and identify potential challenges.
The discussion topics ranged from the use of AI for conducting virtual autopsies, as well as crime prediction systems to support police in optimising their resources, behaviour detection tools, techniques to autonomously research, analyse and respond to international mutual legal assistance requests, blockchain-based traceability approaches that respect privacy, and autonomous patrol vehicles.
Technological advances in AI and robotics, from facial recognition to “futurecasting technology,” can have major global implications for police work, both positive and negative. In the hands of criminals, these technologies can pose digital and physical threats while offering new ways for police to combat crime, said the WAM report.
“Innovation is not a matter for the police alone. Strong partnerships between all relevant stakeholders are necessary to ensure that the police can quickly adapt to future challenges and formulate inventive solutions,” said Anita Hazenberg, director of the Innovation Centre.
“I believe that we are taking critical first steps in creating a platform for future-proofing law enforcement,” said Irakli Beridze, representative of the UNICRI Centre for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics.
“Such initiatives will help us prepare for future crime and utilise technological advancements, to develop new and effective law enforcement tools,” he added.

Advances in Materials Research #11: High-Temperature Measurements of Materialsby Hiroyuki Fukuyama
Synopses & Reviews
Thermophysical properties of high-temperature materials are important from both the scientific and engineering points of view. This book includes the latest developments in the measurements of atomic structure, density, surface tension, viscosity, heat capacity, thermal and mass diffusivity, thermal conductivity, emissivity, and electrical conductivity of mainly metallic melts. High-temperature measurements are difficult due to high chemical reactivity and fluidity. Some distinctive inventions on the experimental techniques such as levitation technique combined with microgravity, synchrotron radiation or magnetic field enable high-precision measurements. This book is the perfect choice for specialists and nonspecialists eager to know the cutting-edge details in this field.

Everyone Deals With Worries Now & Then
When those worries start to become persistent, meddling and triggering then you have likely transitioned from a simple worry into a fully functioning anxiety. Anxiety is a mental health disorder that can greatly affect the way you move through the world by limiting your confidence in yourself and amplifying unknown dangers. When attending therapy for anxiety, you will learn how to let go of the fear holding you back and move to healthier coping mechanisms.
Do I Have Anxiety?
For many, symptoms of anxiety fly under their radar because they are so preoccupied with what is going on in their lives. Unless you have constant anxiety attacks, knowing when you are dealing with anxiety versus nervousness is confusing. That is why Room For Change is committed to helping you understand how anxiety plays a role in your life and what tools you can use if you are ever stuck in an anxiety attack. This means being open about what you are experiencing, even if it elicits “negative emotions” from you. Anxiety is not something that can be pushed aside, and the sooner you come to terms with what you are feeling the more confidence you will have in yourself to face those fears head-on. Below are some coming symptoms of someone dealing with anxiety:
- A drastic change in sleeping or eating habits
- Overthinking every scenario or conversation
- Isolating yourself from your support network
- An impending sense of danger even when there is none present
- Physical Manners: Pacing, sweaty hands, constantly cracking bones, fidgeting
- Increase in heart rate and difficulty breathing during anxiety attacks
- Trouble staying in the present moment; wandering mind or dissociating
- Overwhelming feelings of tiredness or exhaustion
Is Therapy Right For Me?
Attending therapy for anxiety can be eye-opening in many ways. To begin, you will come to understand where your anxiety stems from and how those worries have been ingrained in your mind, causing you to have strong reactions. Following vulnerability comes acceptance and progress. Anxiety doesn’t have to be debilitating to your everyday life. There are many grounding techniques that therapy can teach you for instances where your anxiety is overwhelming. At Room For Change, we want to provide you with a variety of resources that are not only personalized to your lifestyle but are also realistic for your degree of anxiety. This means spending individual time with you, digging into why you are anxious without the fear of judgment or criticism.
Ready To Take Back Your Life?
Anxiety attacks can leave you feeling paralyzed with fear, constantly re, lying on your flight or fight mode to take control of your mind and body. Instead of overstimulating your nervous system even further, please reach out to our practice where we can teach you how to move past your anxieties and take back the life you deserve to be living.

Juneteenth: An Important Celebration. Some were able to purchase their freedom and that of their families. Others simply stole away, using the complex network of the Underground Railroad to reach safety, or, during the Civil War, traveled to Union camps where they sought both shelter and ways to aid the Union cause.When did Juneteenth originate?
Juneteenth Juneteenth is an annual holiday which occurs on June 19th and is observed in the United States. The history of Juneteenth can be traced all the way back to June 19th of 1865. While the original reason for why Texas was over two years behind in freeing slaves is lost to the fog of time.What is the history of Juneteenth?
Juneteenth is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States. Dating back to 1865, it was on June 19th that the Union soldiers, led by Major General Gordon Granger, landed at Galveston, Texas with news that the war had ended and that the enslaved were now free.
