Xpansul - Benthos
For our 10th release we have one of our in-house artists, XPANSUL, delivering his first solo release on vinyl in a long time. Three tracks completed by two "digital only" bonus tracks.
On BENTHOS, Xpansul takes his distinctive Techno sound to the next level, exploring new ways whilst digging deep into his roots, resulting in an exciting and mature sound.
The drums are rougher, the grooves dirtier and the main dish, the synths, are carefully designed to express the emotions that inspired these tracks: restlessness and claustrophobia on BLUE VERTIGO, melancholy on OXYGEN TOXICITY, euphoria and anger on BLACKOUT and the burden of impatience on THE BENDS. To close the EP, OXYGEN TOXICITY HELIOX MIX, a dj friendly version of the original that results on a very emotional peak time Techno track.

The tournament namesake was there and forever accounted for.
Randy Crosby, the man of the hour and the local fishing legend, was even more important than the largemouth bass in Saturday’s fishing tournament on West Point Lake. And on that day the tournament of choice was the Randy Crosby Benefit Fishing Tournament.
“This is a great thing. There’s nothing like it, and I like to see people having fun,” said Crosby, who has spent 25 years on West Point Lake as a fishing guide, a good friend and a nature lover.
Crosby was back in his element at the tournament host site at Highland Marina. And Crosby, 64 years young, was the happiest man on the fishing planet.
“It’s good to know I have this many friends. I like seeing the ospreys and the eagles. And I like catching fish. That is my calling. It means more to me than anything,” said Crosby. “I like going out on West Point Lake in the morning and seeing the sun come up. That is one of the prettiest sights. Anybody who sees that and doesn’t believe in God has something wrong with them.”
As for Saturday, Crosby was back on his favorite lake to shake some hands, see some friends and soak up the winning outdoors atmosphere.
Crosby, who is fighting a serious neurological malady (he can’t walk anymore), used this day of fishing and kind words as a muchneeded medicine.
“This is a blessing. I’m going to walk again, and I’m glad to back at the lake. This is good therapy,” said Crosby, who watched the tournament weigh in and awards presentation intently.
One of Crosby’s fishing disciples, Charlie Williams of LaGrange, won the tournament with 17.04 pounds of largemouth bass. Williams won a standing ovation and $1,000. Williams was the second most popular man at the tournament behind Randy Crosby.
“I got my fish on jigs and in shallow water. I’ve been in fishing tournaments since I was as young as that little girl (over there),” said Williams. “I had one fish break my rod. The tournament was awesome, but you have to do your homework.”
Almost as ready for the fishing as Williams just happened to be the team of Danny Kee of LaGrange and Dennis Gaddy of Hogansville. They took home second place and $550 with 14.15 pounds of bass. The fish were released.
More fish were readily available out on West Point Lake. Randy Campbell and Tim McClendon shared a third place finish with a total weight of 14.03 pounds of fish. Campbell and Mc-Clendon received $350 of prize money.
Tyler O’Neal of Zebulon caught the “Big Bass” of the tournament. O’Neal reeled in 5.10 pounds of largemouth bass, a West Point Lake heavy eater.
“He almost snatched the rod out of my hand, and he got wrapped up in a tree. I was reeling, and he was pulling,” said O’Neal.
Randy Crosby totally approved.

Access Ventures purchased and renovated an abandoned repair shop and turned it into a co-working space. We organized volunteers and provided contract work for people in the neighborhood to assist with its renovation. Initially, the vision was an office for Access Ventures with expanded space for the community, but quickly demand for The Park and a growing Access Ventures team shifted the function of the space to a full-time shared workspace in 2016. Access Ventures employs a Community Manager to oversee the community and the operations of The Park.

Trip Machine Laboratories is a long running hardcore label from my hometown area of Rockland County NY. The label was founded by an old friend of mine Chris W who played/plays in the NY hardcore band Atlas Shrugged . If memory serves Chris started the label to release the first Atlast Shrugged 7" and then things just took off from there.
Trip Machine Laboratories has released a slew of good records over the years and below I am going to give you a quick breakdown of a few of their most recent releases. So read, listen and support...
Living Hell are one tight motherfing hardcore band whose aural assault brings bands like Converge and Integrity to mind. Overall the music combines tight crisp full speed ahead hardcore with moments of thick/heavy slow to mid tempo passages all the while maintaining an impressive amount of hate and disgust. Living Hell are definitely worth your time if you are a fan of this style of metal tinged hardcore.
Living Hell - Blessed Are The Dead
Living Laser approaches hardcore music from a bit of a different angle than most bands, but if I had to draw comparisons to any other currently active bands I would say that Living Laser would be right at home touring with bands like the Omegas or Double Negative. The Living Laser's music moves along at a impressively tight quick pace with interesting time changes and solos popping up seemingly out of nowhere. The vocals are delivered in clean manner and help give the music that little something that makes them stand out from the pack...good stuff and highly recommended.
Living Laser - Fact Eraser
Most Precious Blood - 7" of this Brooklyn NY bands 2000 demo tape pressed to vinyl. These guys play straight up pissed off modern hardcore that worms it's way into your brain and awakens your inner demons.
Incendiary / Unrestrained splits 7" - Incendiary play modern hardcore with one foot in the 90's hardcore sound. Unrestrained stradle the same line as Incendiary but the music is a bit more metallic sounding to my ear and it possess some nice memorable riffing, dare I say the music is catchy.
Chris tells me he is about to step up the online distro at Trip Machine Laboratories so stop by the label distro and pick up some records...Dave G.

Feed Efficiency: Improving feed efficiency through increased production and feed utilization results in a higher level of phosphorous (P) exported off the farm. Advances in Dairy Technology Research has shown improving FE can reduce methane production by as much as 17% in dairy and nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium by as much as 20% excreted in manure.
Economic Advantage: It is estimated that feed costs represent as much as 50% of the cost of milk production consequently the profitability of the milk shipped per cow will definitely be affected by feed efficiency. A simple measure of feed efficiency in dairy production is the kilograms (lbs.) of daily milk produced per kilograms (lbs.) of daily dry matter (DM) consumed.
Proven Results: An intensive investigation of the three major ways of storing silage was undertaken at the USDA Forage Research Centre. The study confirmed that haylage stored in an O2 limiting storage experiences less dry matter loss than haylage stored in bags and bunkers. Although the chemical composition of the 3 AS was similar, feeding AS from the O2-limited tower silo elicited positive production responses.
Yields of 3.5% fat-corrected milk and fat were increased 1.7 kg/day and 150g/day and milk fat content was increased 0.3% when cows were fed diets based on AS from the O2-limiting silo compared with the other 2 silages. The responses in milk fat were paralleled by an average increase in acid detergent fibre digestibility of 270 g/day for cows fed AS from the O2-limiting tower silo. This study has indicated that the Harvestore oxygen limited (AS) provided a 7% higher feed efficiency over the bunker (AS) and 8% higher feed efficiency over the bag (AS).
J Dairy Sci.90:4793-4804
It should be noted that this advantage was not gained at the expense of loss in body condition (BW).

Coffee is being liked by all over the world and millions of people are buying coffee online every day. Coffee beans may seem the same with its look or structure. But, there are several types of coffee beans, harvested and grown in the different region of the world, which gives a unique flavour and taste.
Let’s see some of the most popular Coffee beans in the world.
One of the greatest producers of Arabica beans is Ethiopia, and it is playing a pivotal role in Ethiopia’s economy. It is also known as Arabian coffee. Arabica, soft taste with a little essence of bitterness, slightly acidic in nature, and a pinch of chocolate, nuts and caramel, gives a unique taste of coffee. Although, it grows at the highest altitudes, which creates difficulty for farmers and obviously increases the cost. Limu, Sidamo, Harar and Yirgacheffe beans are the varieties of Arabica coffee beans. Arabica coffee beans come from Coffee Arabica plant. It grows in the humid climate, and a little shady area or simply we can say a subtropical area.
- Arabica coffee is produced in the following countries:
- Costa Rica
- Here are some of the facts about Arabica beans.
- It contains less caffeine
- Its flavour is more acidic
- The higher amount of sugar
- More expensive than robusta
Robusta is mostly produced by Vietnam. It grows from the plant named Coffea Canephora. It occupies the second place among the most popular coffee, after Arabica coffee. It tastes little bitter, grain-type-flavour, strong and harsh in taste as it contains twice the amount of caffeine and is less sweet than Arabica.
- The producers of Robusta coffee beans are:
- Facts about Robusta beans
- It takes almost 2 years to produce the fruit.
- It contains twice the amount of caffeine.
- It tastes more bitter than other coffee, as it contains a high amount of caffeine.
- Although it took 2 years to produce fruit, its amount of fruits production is the highest.

It is grown at the Blue Mountains of Jamaica. It tastes bitter, soft touch of sweetness and floral aroma. Little costly, but it never going to disappoint you. It grows at the highest altitudes of blue mountain. The cool and shiny weather of Jamaica gives another level of flavour.
- Facts about Jamaica Coffee
- Jamaica produces two types of coffee: Blue Mountain and High Mountain Coffee.

- High Mountains Coffee beans harvested at the lowest elevations of Blue Mountains of Jamaica.
- Both taste excellent, Blue Mountain taste little smooth, sweet and little acidic. While High Mountain coffee has mild bitterness, chocolatey and smooth.
However, a list of popular coffee is yet not finished, we tried our best to introduce you to the most popular coffee. But, there are more such as Turkish Coffee, Irish coffee, and many more.

By offering Hastee Pay companies profit from the improved recruitment , increased productivity, employee engagement & better retention of their staff. Our extensive market research has demonstrated that one in four people in the UK struggle to concentrate at work while thinking about their finances, one in five have wasted working hours dealing with repayments. Employers who have on-boarded Hastee Pay have reported increased retention and this ties in with our research which found that almost half (45%) of the working population would be more likely to stay with an employer who offers flexible payment. In addition, companies can set hard rules and preferences to encourage and reward productive behaviour, such as only giving staff access to their earnings for days they turn up to work on time, thus driving punctuality.

This article originally appeared in the March 24, 2016 issue of the Indianapolis Recorder Newspaper.
Anyone who knows me knows about my longstanding love/hate relationship with our city’s public transit system. There are days when I get to the bus stop and it’s running on schedule, the bus driver is pleasant, and I make it to where I need to be on time with no issues. Then there are those days — days when the bus is embarrassingly late and I have to either cancel plans or dish out cash for an Uber. There are those days when I am passed by a driver who didn’t see me waiting, because my stop has no street lights. I could go on and on about those days, but the good news is that IndyGo is working to make sure those days become a thing of the past.
IndyGo has rolled out the 2021 Marion County Transit Plan, which will begin implementing the long-term regional Indy Connect plan. The Marion County Transit Plan seeks to provide an overall 70-percent increase in service, shorter wait times, more frequency and other improvements. Currently only 16 percent of Indianapolis households living in poverty have access to a frequent (15 minute wait or shorter) IndyGo route. The number of households with access to a frequent route is even lower among Indianapolis’ minority population, at just 14 percent. The plan proposes to increase by 2021 the number of households with access to frequent service to 47 percent and 39 percent, respectively. Currently, there are only 140,057 jobs within a half-mile of a frequent transit route; by 2021, that number will be more than 230,000.
The plan could be funded by a new tax, which could be on the ballot this November. In 2014, the state legislature authorized a new dedicated funding source for transit via referendum in some central Indiana counties, including Marion County. Implementation of the plan requires the passage of a 0.25 percent income tax by Marion County residents, which is 25 cents on $100 of income. The referendum process is underway. The City-County Council called the question and sent it to committee. If the committee approves the proposal, it will come back to the full council. If the council approves it, the referendum will show up on the ballot this November, where it must pass with majority support. If voters approve the new tax, it will come back to council for final enactment, as it is not a binding referendum — meaning even with the majority of voter support, it will still need to receive a final approval from the City-County Council.
If you would like to learn more about public transit, there are a number of ways to get up to speed. There will be an event held at the Avondale Meadows YMCA on March 30 and another on March 31 at the Urban League at 6 p.m. both days. I’d also encourage you to visit indygo.net/transitplan to read up on the plan for yourself.
Last week, I had the opportunity to attend one of these informational events at the Hi-Fi in Fountain Square, where a panel made up of a group of young professionals discussed the future of transit. When the panel was asked how many of them had used IndyGo, most of them revealed they had only used the service once or not at all. I instantly chalked it up as an unfortunate gaffe on the part of the event organizers. It even seemed a bit counterproductive.
Jarrett Walker, a public transit consultant and author who has been very instrumental in the creation of IndyGo’s new transit plan, was on the panel as well. He shared that he understood why most of the people who were up there had never used the service. It is not very convenient and, frankly, not worth the trouble for people who have other options. He waxed poetic about what more efficient public transit means for those seeking better access to professional opportunities and social experiences. Then I understood why everyone — the apathetic, passionate, uninterested, etc. — needs to be discussing transit more. Better public transit means that one day, hopefully, Indianapolis will become a true metropolis.
Throughout my experience with the service, I have lodged my share of complaints in person and via social media. Most, if not all, of them have been addressed directly by a member of their staff. I do recognize my privilege as a member of the media, so I’m sure that had at least a little bit to do with it. I also recognize my financial privilege. I am by no means rich, but I could afford a vehicle if I chose to have one, and I can afford to use services like Uber, Lyft or Yellow Cab when I need to. A growing number of Indianapolis residents do not have these privileges.
It is quite obvious to me that improved public transit is more than just a good idea. It is something that we need to put collective energy and effort behind. Mobility should not be a luxury for the privileged among us. It should be available to all.

Changing the Conversation on Cancer Diagnosis in Dogs
Dr. Angelo Marco, DVM and Dr. Andi Flory, DVM join host Laura Reeves for an exciting conversation about advances in early cancer detection. PetDx’s OncoK9 test is able to “identify a biomarker of cancer that comes from cancer cells” from a simple blood draw, according to Dr. Flory.
[caption id="attachment_10009" align="alignleft" width="308"] Dr. Andi Flory, DVM, Chief Medical Officer at PetDX.[/caption]
Flory, Chief Medical Officer at PetDx, said the OncoK9 test has the potential to revolutionize our ability to detect cancer in patients, potentially even before they start to show signs and symptoms.
While the blood test identifies a variety of cancers, it is most successful at finding the “big three:” Lymphoma, hemangiosarcoma and osteosarcoma.
“Those big three,” Flory said, “that detection rate is really high. It's 85% and those are the most aggressive cancers that we see in dogs. So the fact that we have the potential to identify those really aggressive cancers sooner, it's just amazing.
“The way that would kind of work, is if you think about dogs that are at high risk of cancer because of they're getting older, for example, we know that the risk of cancer increases with age. Or because of their breed. You're certainly aware there are some breeds that just get a lot of cancer, unfortunately. If we think about testing those individuals as a screening test, like as an annual test before they're showing any clinical signs you know while they're still healthy. If we can identify cancer while they're still feeling good, then we may have a better chance of controlling it longer term.
“I think about the cases that we get almost universally when we discover hemangiosarcoma. It's because the tumor is bleeding or it's already spread and the metastatic lesions are bleeding and that often results in a middle of the night visit to the emergency room. It's a snap decision. Maybe your dog looked normal that morning and then all of a sudden you're in the ER being told your dog has a tumor on the spleen and it's bleeding and we need to do emergency surgery and we need to do a blood transfusion and there's really only one decision that you can make right now. It's shocking. It’s traumatic. It's painful for the dog. It's all of those things and it happens so unexpectedly and it's so emotional.”
[caption id="attachment_10010" align="alignright" width="293"] Dr. Angelo Marco, DVM and his Border Terrier at Palm Springs Kennel Club.[/caption]
“The important thing to know,” Marco said, “is that when we see a cancer signal on this test, it's an indication of malignant tumor cells in the body right now. It's not something that they were cured of five years ago and it's not a predisposition test, so it's not something that is predicting, it is something that is there in the body right now. So that really highlights the importance of going forward on that “cancer hunt” to find where is this cancer signal is coming from.”
Be sure to listen to today’s episode in full and visit PetDx for additional information.

You’ll see a lot of comedian Joel Creasey and drag queen Courtney Act over the next few months. They are this year’s Adelaide Fringe ambassadors and have been tasked with spruiking our city. We caught up with Joel for a stroll down Rundle Mall.
“I’m in charge now,” he says. “This city is mine. I can knight people and perform beheadings. And I get to do it with Courtney Act who I love. She looks like me with a wig on. Two skinny, hungry blonde queens are your Adelaide Fringe ambassadors.”
It’s a big deal for the funny bone tickler. His show Blonde Bombshell will be performed at the Corona Theatre in the Garden of Unearthly Delights from 5 to 11 March.
“I’m thrilled. I’m from Perth and I love Adelaide because I feel like we have a bit of an alliance against Melbourne and Sydney. Adelaide people are up for a laugh and a good time and they’re great audiences. Also, Maggie Beer is here. WHat more could you want? I have tonnes of verjuice in my pantry.”

As a former Securities and Exchange Commission senior trial counsel who has dealt with his share of emergencies resulting from investment fund implosions, I have been monitoring the conflagration devouring Archegos Capital Management over the last few days. I joined the SEC in the aftermath of the financial crisis and tend to view large-scale collapses through that lens. I am focused on two issues: First, was the fact that Archegos was a family office a factor in the collapse, and does that collapse justify greater regulatory scrutiny of family offices? Second, does this collapse present the archetypical regulatory nightmare: previously unperceived interconnected risks that threaten multiple financial institutions, as well as the smooth functioning of the market at large?

Peanut Butter Banana Muffings | Better Baking
I’ve noticed that the average Peanut Butter Banana Muffins recipe is deceptively deemed as “healthy”. But often muffins are filled with processed ingredients and too much sugar. Our Peanut Butter Banana Muffins are a healthy alternative that crushes any competition! Nutritious enough for breakfast, yet decadent enough for dessert. These homemade baked goods are made with only simple and nourishing ingredients. Bananas have so much more to offer than their natural sources of potassium.
Our Peanut Butter Banana Muffins also contain vitamins and fiber and provide moisture and natural sweetness to these flavorful, fluffy treats. Combining peanut butter with mashed banana not only adds an extra hint of sweetness, but it also provides a wholesome source of heart-healthy fats that promote satiety. We love including calcium-rich skyr to this mixture because it creates a fluffy muffin with muscle-building protein.
Our muffins are also made with gluten-free flour, giving them the nutritional benefits of whole wheat flour with a light texture and mild flavor. You have a seriously yummy muffin once you combine with the mashed bananas, smooth peanut butter, and creamy skyr.
We also add ground flaxseed to our batter for brain-boosting omega-3s and additional fiber. When baked, these muffins are light and fluffy in every moist, never-dry bite. These Peanut Butter Banana Muffins are naturally sweetened, cinnamon-spiced, and packed with peanut buttery flavor. They make for the perfect nutrient-dense portable snack.
Nutrient Booster: Peanut Butter
Peanut butter is one of the world’s most popular spreads, and for good reason. Not only is peanut butter scrumptious, but it’s a great source of protein, fiber, and essential vitamins and minerals, such as magnesium, potassium, and zinc. Peanut butter is comprised of about 25% protein, making it an ideal plant-based protein source. Protein is essential for building and repairing muscles.
Peanut Butter also contains significant amounts of healthy fats, specifically oleic acid, which helps improve insulin sensitivity and manage blood sugar levels. It also is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are anti-inflammatory and associated with a reduced risk of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. A high intake of nuts may also reduce the risk of mortality from heart disease and improve heart health.
It’s easy to enjoy the health benefits of peanut butter. You can spread it on bread, add it to smoothies, stir it in yogurt or oatmeal or use it as a dip for fresh fruit. Of course it’s also great for baked goods, like our Peanut Butter Banana Muffins.
Master Your Muffin
Be the master of your own muffin. While our Peanut Butter Banana Muffins are deliciously healthy as-they-are, there are numerous ways to add new flavor combinations.
Blueberries, dried fruit, shredded coconut, or PASCHA chocolate chips are great add in ideas. If you’re craving a crunch, choose mix-ins that bring some bite to these muffins like chopped nuts and seeds, including our favorite, SuperSeedz pumpkin seeds. Toppings are a great way to add some extra texture and visual appeal. Frost your muffins with our Cashew Cream or our Chocolate Hazelnut Spread for a boost of nutrition in every sweet bite. Perfect for on-the-go breakfasts or handheld snacks, these muffins are loaded with wholesome goodness and lack nothing but gluten.

Protecting the Rights of Consumers
For Over 25 Years
Edelman Combs Latturner & Goodwin, LLC
Debt buyers Encore Capital Group, Inc., Midland Funding LLC, Midland Credit Management, Inc., and Atlantic Credit and Finance, Inc., ("Midland companies") have entered into a $12 million settlement with the Massachusetts Attorney General. They will pay a $4.5 million fine, cease collection on $7.5 million in uncollected debts, and comply with various restrictions on their collection activities.
The Attorney General alleged that the Midland companies dunned on timebarred debts without providing the disclosures required by 940 C.M.R. 7.07(24) for such debts.
The Attorney General also alleged that the Midland companies failed to comply with verification requirements under state law. 940 C.M.R 7.08(2) states that “it shall constitute an unfair or deceptive act or practice for a creditor to fail to provide to a debtor or an attorney for a debtor the following within five business days after the initial communication with a debtor in connection with the collection of a debt, unless the following information is contained in the initial communication or the debtor has paid the debt: (a) The amount of the debt; (b) The name of the creditor to whom the debt is owed; (c) A statement that unless the debtor, within 30 days after receipt of the notice, disputes the validity of the debt, or any portion thereof, the debt will be assumed to be valid by the creditor; and (d) A statement that if the debtor notifies the creditor in writing within 30 days after receipt of this notice that the debt, or any portion thereof is disputed, the creditor will obtain verification of the debt and provide the debtor, or an attorney for the debtor, additional materials described in 940 C.M.R 7.08(2).”
Under 940 C.M.R 7.08(2), if the debtor disputes the debt in writing, the person seeking to collect must provide (a) All documents, including electronic records or images, which bear the signature of the debtor and which concern the debt being collected; (b) A ledger, account card, account statement copy, or similar record, whether paper or electronic, which reflects the date and amount of payments, credits, balances, and charges concerning the debt, including but not limited to interest, fees, charges or expenses incidental to the principal obligation which the creditor is expressly authorized to collect by the agreement creating the debt or permitted to collect by law; (c) The name and address of the original creditor, if different from the collecting creditor; and (d) A copy of any judgment against the debtor.” All collection efforts must stop until the person seeking to collect “has made reasonable efforts to obtain the necessary information and provide this information to the debtor.”
The Massachusetts Attorney General alleged that the Midland companies did not provide the statement required under 940 C.M.R. 7.08 and did not obtain certain account level documentation when it acquired many of the debts, including documentation provided to the debtor by the prior owners of the debts, complete transactional histories of the debts, and copies of any final judgments awarded to the seller. They also allegedly entered into agreements to purchase debts that did not require the seller to provide this account level documentation, and that limited the seller’s responsibility for the accuracy and validity of the debts.
Another allegation by the Attorney General was that the Midland companies failed to comply with 940 C.M.R. 7.04(l)(f), which prohibits a Debt Collector from initiating more than two telephone calls to a Debtor’s residence, cellular telephone, or other personal telephone in a seven-day period. Outbound calls that do not reach a consumer, or where no message is left for the consumer, are included as “initiating” a communication with any debtor via telephone pursuant to 940 C.M.R. 7.04(f). The Midland companies did not count “outgoing calls where its collectors did not reach a consumer, or decided not to leave a message on an answering machine” within its call frequency limits.
Finally, the Attorney General alleged that the Midland companies collected or attempted to collect against exempt income of the debtors.

Democrats Are Ecstatic About The Biden-Harris Win; Republicans' Reaction Is Mixed
Democrats and Republicans are reacting to news that former Vice President Joe Biden and California Sen. Kamala Harris were elected to the White House on Saturday, narrowly defeating President Trump in an election that hinged on several swing states.
Elated Democratic politicians congratulated the pair. Rep. Joe Kennedy said he would connect Trump with Americans who could help him pack, and Sen. Chuck Schumer, the Senate minority leader, tweeted that "the long dark night in America is over, and a new dawn is coming." He joined a large crowd celebrating Biden's victory in Brooklyn's Grand Army Plaza.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said that a "record-shattering 75 million" votes for Biden and Harris is "a historic victory that has handed Democrats a mandate for action."
Sen. Cory Booker said, "I feel like our ancestors are rejoicing. For the first time, a Black and South Asian woman has been elected Vice President of the United States."
Former President Jimmy Carter congratulated Biden and Harris, saying he and his wife are "proud of their well-run campaign and look forward to seeing the positive change they bring to our nation."
Sen. Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., tweeted that while she is celebrating, she recognizes that "a lot of people aren't."
"So many Trump voters are also working families and believed that he would improve their lives," Duckworth said. "We must see that they are hurting and fight attempts to divide us as we work to rebuild our beloved nation."
Some Republicans said they are committed to working with the new administration, including Michigan Rep. Fred Upton, who tweeted that he plans to work to "come together, bridge divisions, and focus on solutions."
Cindy McCain, the widow of Sen. John McCain, tweeted that "Joe will unify the country toward a better future."
Sen. Mitt Romney also offered his congratulations to Biden and Harris, tweeting that they are "people of good will and admirable character."
Several Republican senators are urging voters and party donors to "Keep the Senate red" — a key GOP goal now, with two runoff races looming in Georgia that are crucial to deciding control of the Senate.
"A Democratic majority in the Senate would cinch the radical agenda of the left," Sen. John Cornyn tweeted. "They must be stopped on January 5th in Georgia."
Other Republicans either contested the election results or have not spoken out. Texas Republican Rep.Brian Babin tweeted that "the fight isn't over."
Democrats in 2016:— Rep. Jim Jordan (@Jim_Jordan) November 7, 2020
“Russia interfered in the election. We will not accept the integrity of the results!”
Democrats in 2020:
“How dare you raise questions about election integrity!”
Rep. Jim Jordan accused Democrats of using a double standard, noting that many of Hillary Clinton's supporters questioned the integrity of Trump's win in 2016. Trump has baselessly accused Democrats of manipulating the 2020 vote.
"No matter what the media tells you, this is NOT over," Rep. Doug Collins tweeted.
Nebraska Rep. Don Bacon, on the other hand, told NPR on Saturday that the "handwriting is on the wall" for Trump's loss. He said that once the president's court battles have played out, Trump should "proceed graciously."

[Ed. – It would certainly simplify things.]
Officers may never defend themselves against lethal force if their attacker is a minority. They should simply accept being shot or stabbed as penance for their alleged racism.
In Lancaster, an officer responded to a domestic violence call at a residence where a man had stabbed four people last year. As the officer approached the house, a female escaped out the front door. A man – the suspect from the previous slashings – then emerged and ran at the officer, brandishing a knife over his head. The officer shot him, as the officer was by all appearances legally authorized to do, to stop the threat of deadly force. Twenty-seven-year-old Ricardo Munoz died from the officer’s gunfire.

Taking a deep breath within the Adams Brands Manufacturing plant of Warner-Lambert Canada fills the lungs and sinuses with the unmistakable aroma only a gum and candy plant can produce. It's a wonderful smell but the sugar dust that creates it can prove unpleasant for coding equipment.
Prior to increasing the size of its individual gum pieces and creating a new 8-pack the Scarborough Ontario plant used a pad-stamping process on the gum's paper overwrap. "We used metal characters positioned onto a wheel that actually stamped a code onto the pack" explains Norm Medeiros manager of manufacturing engineering for Warner-Lambert Canada. "It wasn't a very effective process.
"When we made the changes we wanted to upgrade our coding method" he continues. "We couldn't go with ink-jet printing though because our new flow wrappers create a heat seal along a common area that's used to create two side-by-side packs simultaneously. The ink may have melted and caused code smudging. We needed a quality code that would work with our wrapping equipment." Enter a company called Directed Energy Inc. (Irvine CA).
In October '94 Domino Amjet (Gurnee IL) acquired the technology and proprietary rights to a laser coder product line from DEI. DEI manufactured a carbon dioxide laser coder known as Digital Direct Coder that Warner-Lambert Canada opted to use in May '94. "When we purchased our first machines we had a lot of headaches" admits Tony Lapolla project engineer/plant automation.
"The sugar dust that is part of our plant's environment caused difficulties on the sensitive circuitry and wiring" he continues. "We're aware that any machine start-up will have its share of difficulties but we had so many. For example our laser tubes lost power due to CO2 leakage. We also had numerous RF-module faults that occurred due to electronic issues and sugar dust. Furthermore we had to bring a PC to each machine to input code dates for specific products. This was very cumbersome for operators to perform. We needed a network solution."
The overall coding solution as it turned out began to take
shape when Domino Amjet maker of ink-jet coding equipment purchased DEI. The acquisition moves the vendor into what has become a growing and competitive market.
When Domino Amjet took over "it began to solve a lot of the problems that DEI would have eventually gotten to" says Lapolla. "Right away they found a leakage in the laser tubes and corrected it. As we resolved our problems we began to add more coders. We currently run eight units all installed on the Klockner Ho/oonsel Tevopharm flow wrapping machines."
How they work
Each coder used by Warner-Lambert Canada uses seven identical laser tube assemblies that are arrayed to provide a dot-matrix character format. The entire process is electronic using computer software. No mask or electro-mechanical scanning hardware is required. And since the CO2 is sealed the tubes last for years.
The lasers used by Warner-Lambert Canada are twin-line lasers. This means the laser marks two dates as opposed to one. At the end of each laser head assembly are two mirrors; one is a stationary mirror. The other is mounted to the shaft of a motor. The second mirror rotates 21° from one point to the next. As the printed gum wrap unwinds from the flow wrapper the rotating mirror is positioned at its first point and ready to mark the first date. At this point the laser pulses on and off to generate the appropriate code. As the web continues to move the mirror is rotated 21° to the second position where the laser again pulses on and off to complete the second code. The end result is identical codes for the images printed opposite one another on the web to allow two-up filling and sealing (see related story).
The process has been improved considerably since Warner-Lambert Canada first began laser coding. "We used to use a photoeye to pick up a registration mark for each pack to initiate the coding process" Lapolla notes. "But we had problems with the package colors and web movement so the process was inconsistent. Also the photoeye remained in a fixed position which could be problematic for purposes of shifting the position of the date on the web. Instead we hooked up the input signal for the laser to an electronic cam. This allowed us to rotate the firing position at 360 degrees so we can adjust to the position of the registration mark and pinpoint the laser's firing."
Lapolla says Warner-Lambert is still fine-tuning the entire process. "We designed software that lets us individually program each coder from a single computer. We still need to develop a better method of cleaning the sugar dust from the mirror on the laser" he admits "but we're making progress on that by implementing vacuum and air blowing systems on the face of the mirror. The entire system is based on electronics. There's little wear with the lasers and virtually no clean-up issues compared with our old pad-printing method. And the quality is far beyond anything else we've had. It's exactly what we needed."

Things I liked: For the price it works great. Installed on my Crosman Vigilante with great results. Easy installation on the weaver rail. Adjustments are tight and hold. Shot over 200 rounds with no POI movement.
Things I would have changed: Would like a lens cover.
Things I liked: This thing is great! I mounted it to my Browning Buckmark .177 cal pistol and what a fantastic improvement! The gun itself is very accurate but when I added the green dot site I was hitting everything I aimed at! Cans and chalk sticks at 35-40 feet! This will really improve your shooting and make it a lot more fun. The dot has 2 brightness levels. You may need to set it to 2 outdoors. Excellent in low light and outdoors.
Things I would have changed: Nothing...
What others should know: If you want to improve your shooting and have some fun get one of these! You'll love it!
Things I liked: Not much to say but surprisingly this works I like the green dot that's about it. You ask me is it accurate I will say yes, airsoft definitely. Clamps well will not wiggle
Things I would have changed: I would change materials the front of the sight hovers over the rail witch you could push up/down left/right a little so a metal case would make a huge difference. I would make it more professional and and not cheap it looks fake. And for the price add some icons and or colors also
What others should know: I would have gotten a better one for this price spending a little more would have made me happier I have a D&W 8" revolver and its all metal looks nice until I put this cheap plastic dot sight I wanted to cry lol when I first seen it looks and feels cheap but amazingly it works if you are going for looks choose another but if u want a good cheap one go for this one. Mine is a little unbalanced horizontally/vertically feels like I'm not shooting straight but I'm way better with this sight compared to iron sights I can hit bullsey at 35 yards very easy with this sight. I never shoot without it cheap and good

Kaplan City Councilman Richard LeBlanc has died after a brief illness.
Mayor Mike Kloesel confirmed that LeBlanc died Thursday afternoon at a Lafayette hospital.
"He fought a courageous battle, and he was optimistic until the end," Kloesel said.
Arrangements are incomplete at this time.
Kloesel said he is meeting with the city’s attorney today to lay out the steps that must be taken to appoint a temporary replacement. Under state law, the city only has a few days to appoint someone or the vacancy will be filled by the Governor’s Office. A special election also must be called to elect a permanent replacement.
This is a developing story; we will update information as it is received.

Mid July this summer we at last visited the Giant Trees. Sequoia Park and Kings Canyon are both connected, they are on the same entrance ticket, but you can’t see both of them in one day. So we had to land from the heights of the Sequoia Park at the end of the first day and go back up the next day to see Kings Canyon. The point is that it is hard to find a place to sleep in between them . As I noticed visitors mostly camp there. There are several lodges inside the parks, but to pay $350 for a night is not in our practice. And when you land from the Sierras there – there are maybe 2-3 motels on the way, not good at all, therefore they have vacancies. And then nothing, a long stretch of driving with orchards, with towns who serve the orchards – and no motels hotels, very strange…the closest city came out to be Fresno, though with the help of people from supermarket we managed to find a Best Western somewhere in between those orchard – little town jungles. So this is my introduction to the Giant Tree impressions…Some facts impress more than others…:-)
But here is everything from the beginning. We drove through Las Vegas, then towards Bakersfield. California’s attention to renewable energy sources impresses:
After a night in Bakersfield we headed towards Sierra Nevada foothills from the West side and started rising towards Sequoias on Rt.198 :
The mountains are in haze and they say that partially it is because of the smog that is brought by winds from San JoaquinValley and partially from the humidity in the air in summer. they sau to see clear views you have to come in early spring. The road up the mountains is narrow and winding which you can expect. The views are beautiful Part of the road was being fixed, so we had to wait and meanwhile we thought that we already reached the Giant Tree grove:
But we haven’t. Those trees were something else, not sequoias yet. Sequoias grow very high – between 5000-7000 feet elevation, which is 1500-2100m in human language. They don’t grow grow on sea level as their cousins Redwoods, as well as they have other differences with redwoods, which i didn’t know before going to the park. Redwoods are a little taller, their trunks are not so massive and they die by 1200 years younger. Whereas sequoias are much more massive, they reach 100 m in height (311 ft) and 14m in diameter (40 ft) and they live up to 3200 years old! That is something…
They outlive many forest fires because of the structure of their bark – it is thick and feels like tissue paper, soft and airy, and though fires sometimes burn holes in them – the heat still doesn’t get the deeper layers. Their wood and bark have some chemicals that make them resistant to fungi and bacteria. Luckily.
And when you think – there are some 75 groves left in all… and all of them are on the West slope of Sierras, where the moisture comes from far away ocean to humidify its branches and the streams of the mountains feed them with water of which they need a lot.
From the Giant Forest Museum we took a shuttle to Moro Rock. Again there was a confusion. The next stop was Crescent Meadow and we planned to see the views from there and return to Moro Rock and climb it/ No way. the shuttle takes you to the Rock, then to meadows and back to the museum…So we did two rounds until we managed to climb the Rock, but on the way we saw this creature:
I felt good we were in the bus not on our feet – because mama bear could be close by.
Moro Rock was impressive, reminded me of Angel’s Landing in Zion NP, only more comfortable steps for climbing it. So the same as on Angel’s Landing I was scared to death to reach the top :-):
Thanks God Andrei reached the top and could enjoy the views of Sierra Nevada mountains:
Next stop was at Big Trees trail – sequoias grow usually around a little pond formed in a hollow of a big stone by some streams. they need water. Those ponds usually are not ponds any more, but a swamp or wet meadow. And therefore sequoia groves look like a circle:
The main cause of sequoias deaths is toppling. They have shallow root system and strong winds can uproot them:
The insides of the fallen trees are attractive:
Some more images of the Giant Trees. the biggest of them is General Sherman tree, but we saw it only from far away – too many people were crowding around it.
So much for this park, it took us a while to find a place to sleep that night as I have mentioned. Next Blog will be about Kings canyon.

open mike spots of London, as our songs became more and more complex, we found
ourselves outcast for daring to play songs longer than three minutes and
refusing to worship at the feet of Punk (yes, there are still people out there
who believe that being able to play your instrument is a bad thing!).
As a result, we
put our acoustic guitars back in their cases and struck out on our own as a full
electric band. Occasionally, I sneak back into the odd acoustic club and attempt
to play Close To The Edge but I'm out on my ear before I get past the opening
section. Bloody tossers!
Could you take us through the debut album?
Ah well as mentioned above, the songs on the debut album came together as simple
attempt to push beyond the three minute format.
However, in order
to encourage as much creativity as possible, we also chose to steer clear of
some of the traditional progressive comfort zones and decided to forgo keyboards
in favour of using guitar synths.
There are many
people who can perform a mini-moog solo much better than us so we thought, why
re-invent the wheel? We've also used spoken word passages (courtesy of our
lyricist Rob Ramsay), which is a bit of forgotten art in prog. I don't think
anyone has attempted it seriously since Marillion's 'Script For A Jester's
When it came to
recording the album, we had no money to hire a professional recording facility,
so we built our own studio from scratch in an abandoned loft.
There was a lot of
work involved but it has enabled us to develop ideas without having to run up
huge studio bills. We dubbed the space 'The Crow's Nest' and it has become our
base of operations for all things Tinyfish related.
How did the band feel about getting into the 'Classic Rock' top albums of the
year list? How have the reviews been generally towards your album?
We were over the moon about it! We are a new band and had no idea that we would
figure in the poll at all, so to make it into their top 15 was a nice surprise.
So far, the reviews have been very positive.
Personally I never
fear the bad reviews because at least the person writing had a reaction. It's
the lukewarm commentary I feel bad about because it means we didn't emotionally
connect with the guy or girl giving us a spin.
Any good rock 'n' roll tales to tell?
I guess being invited on stage to help out in a raffle while the members of Pain
Of Salvation stood ready to play at the side of the stage, sticks in the mind.
The bemused looks on their faces at the tableau before made me laugh as such a
thing could only happen in England.
What have been the live highlights so far for the band and who ideally, would
you like to tour with & why?
Playing at the 2007 Summers End Festival was great as it was the moment I felt
we had really arrived on the UK Progressive scene. Everything just came together
for us that day. The crowd were incredibly into it, and as the festival was the
last date of our tour, we really opened the throttle and gave them everything we
As for who we'd
like to tour with, I guess that high on the wish list would be either King
Crimson or Marillion. Both bands have forged very recognisable sonic
personalities and never rest on their creative laurels. Playing alongside my
brother Jem Godfrey (of Frost) at some point in the future might be fun too.
How do you view the internet and downloads? How has the internet helped get
your music out there?
The internet has been nothing but good news for us. Tinyfish was born in the age
of downloading and as such we have known no other environment.
We've made a
concerted effort to be a net friendly band. Our music is available in many
places for download (iTunes, CDBaby, etc) and being a small, mobile, intelligent
unit, we survive very well.
The giant record
companies are the moribund dinosaurs and bands like us are the small furry
rodents who will scamper happily amongst their bones, once they are gone.
How easy/hard is it to get gigs and have you seen any upswing in interest in
Tinyfish and in more general terms, the rock/progressive live music scene?
I think that booking gigs depends how creative you are willing to be. True
enough, there are less places to play than there were 10 years ago but as the
number of regular venues decline, I believe that you'll see more weekend or all
day 'festival' shows, driven by enthusiastic fans and musicians which will
combine a number of similar groups to make a gig more of an event.
As for interest in
Tinyfish, yes, 2007 was very good to us. We've had a number of offers from prog
labels to sign with them and had the opportunity to play alongside some
fantastic acts over the past 6 months. Roll on 2008.
What other bands out there would the band members recommend and why?
Oh, top of my list right now is a band called Touchstone, we are very lucky to
be playing with them on the 2nd of Feb at The Peel in London. They have some
great material and are a fantastic live act.
Message for your fans...
Just a huge and happy wave of thanks. Our fans have been incredibly supportive
since we arrived on the scene. Some of them have travelled from as far as the US
and mainland Europe to see us play which is quite humbling, not to mention the
hardcore Tinyfish fans who turn up to all our gigs, no matter where we play.
They know the lyrics better than I do!

Unclear institutional frameworks undermine progress in improving services, and ongoing decentralization reforms often reduce clarity further. This research sought to identify key challenges for the institutional arrangements for urban sanitation in decentralizing contexts, in Kenya and elsewhere, and to propose possible responses.
Key informant interviews and literature review were used in a problem‐driven analysis, drawing from three comparative case studies: South Africa, Indonesia and Tamil Nadu State. The analysis builds upon research on institutional effectiveness—co‐operation, collaboration and co‐ordination—rooted in game theory and elaborated in the 2017 World Development Report.
Three key problems in Kenya are identified: overlaps and competition around sector leadership at national and devolved levels; weak incentives for county governments to commit policy attention and finance, despite devolution; and limited regulatory oversight. In response, we identify a range of options for urban sanitation policy‐makers: (a) to engage non‐sectoral authorities in co‐ordinating multi‐sectoral issues across all levels of government; (b) to encourage political commitment to pro‐poor sanitation services at decentralized levels; and (c) to use incentive‐based and risk‐based approaches to regulate decentralized entities and strengthen local capacity for monitoring and enforcement.
The research was funded by the Urban Sanitation Research Initiative – a programme managed by Water & Sanitation for the Urban Poor and funded by UK aid from the UK government.

Second mosquito sample from Cedar Park positive for West Nile, city says
A mosquito sample taken in Cedar Park has tested positive for the West Nile virus, city officials said on Tuesday.
The sample was collected in the southwest part of the city, near Cypress Creek Road and Sun Chase Boulevard, which is near to several neighborhoods and Elizabeth Milburn Park.
It is the second sample taken from the same location to test positive for the virus this year, officials said.
City officials are urging area residents to be extra vigilant, and to take proactive measures to prevent mosquito bites, especially during rainy weather.
Mosquitoes are known to breed in stagnant water.
Public health officials ask that people drain all standing water, use EPA-approved insect repellent and dress in long sleeves and pants when outdoors.
No human cases of West Nile virus have been reported in Williamson County this year, state health officials said.
Travis County has seen three confirmed cases this summer.

In 1955, Swyer first described two phenotypic women with
gonadal dysgenesis without the stigma of Turner syndrome
(46 XY pure gonadal dysgenesis, now known as Swyer syndrome). The chance of tumor development in Swyer syndrome is 20e30%. The most common tumor described is bilateral gonadoblastoma, but also seen are dysgerminoma and even embryonal carcinoma. Five percent of dysgerminomas are discovered in patients who are phenotypically females with abnormal gonads and 46 XY karyotye.

Speaking of polls (below), here’s another test for the national Dems.
A majority of Americans initially support a controversial National Security Agency program to collect information on telephone calls made in the United States in an effort to identify and investigate potential terrorist threats, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll.
The new survey found that 63 percent of Americans said they found the NSA program to be an acceptable way to investigate terrorism, including 44 percent who strongly endorsed the effort. Another 35 percent said the program was unacceptable, which included 24 percent who strongly objected to it.
Who wants to bet that the Dems back off, afraid that it’s a losing issue? But here’s another result from the poll: Half–51 percent–approved of the way President Bush was handling privacy matters.
That indicates a much more divided electorate. Digging more into the data, we learn that only 41% “strongly support” the NSA’s collection of call data. Twenty-two percent support the effort “somewhat.” I call them persuadable. And I call Bush’s command of this issue tenuous, at best.
And what’s missing from the data: How many of the respondents are likely voters? If you don’t care that the government is spying on you, how much do you care about the government at all. And if you don’t care, you don’t vote.
Between now and Nov. 2008 is plenty of time for true leaders to make the argument that the war on religious fundamentalism (terror is just the a tactic) is a much about selling democracy to Muslims who see our Iraq effort as a war on their religion. What are we selling? That democracy is about government collecting records of your phone calls? What’s next? Your bank account records? Your medical records? (Credit Joe Scarborough for asking these questions last night.) And what safeguards are there that this data won’t be shared, compromised or stolen?
What do we expect of our government? How do we balance protecting ourselves and protecting our privacy? Raising these questions alone is the first step Dems should take. Initiating the dialogue is what leaders do.
UPDATE: And is Bush really a leaderwith any political capital left?

To highlight the offensiveness to liberty that democracy and majority rule is, just ask yourself how many decisions in your life would you like to be made democratically. How about what car you drive, where you live, whom you marry, whether you have turkey or ham for Thanksgiving dinner?
If those decisions were made through a democratic process, the average person would see it as tyranny and not personal liberty. Is it no less tyranny for the democratic process to determine whether you purchase health insurance or set aside money for retirement?
Both for ourselves, and our fellow man around the globe, we should be advocating liberty, not the democracy that we’ve become where a roguish Congress does anything upon which they can muster a majority vote.

Systemic necrotizing vasculitis affecting medium-sized
arteries. The cutaneous form of PAN is associated with streptococcal
infection and seems to be a little more frequent in children.
Ulcerations and necrosis of the skin in a patient with polyarteritis
Periarteritis Nodosa; Kussmaul's Disease; Necrotizing Arteritis
First described in 1866 by Kussmaul and Meier. They identified a
condition that consisted of “focal, inflammatory, artery nodules”.
Onset is generally between the ages of 40 and 50 but may also
occur at any age. The male-to-female ratio is 3:1. The cause and the true incidence
The cause remains unknown; however, the variety of
pathologic features suggests multiple pathogenic mechanisms. Spontaneously occurring
polyarteritis nodosa occurs in hyperimmunized human volunteers, in animals with
experimental serum sickness, and in patients developing hypersensitivity reactions.
Drugs (e.g., sulfonamides, penicillin, iodide, thiouracil, bismuth, thiazides,
guanethidine, methamphetamine), vaccines, bacterial infections (e.g., streptococcal,
staphylococcal), and viral infections (e.g., serum hepatitis, influenza, HIV) have been
associated with disease onset. Segmental, necrotizing inflammation of media and
adventitia characterizes the lesion. The pathologic process most commonly occurs at
points of vessel bifurcation, beginning in the media and extending into the intima and
adventitia of medium-sized arteries, often disrupting the internal elastic lamellae.
Early endothelial lesions contain polymorphonuclears and occasionally eosinophils; later
lymphocytes and plasma cells can be seen. Immunoglobulin, complement components, and
fibrinogen are deposited in the lesions, but their significance is unclear. Intimal
proliferation with secondary thrombosis and occlusion leads to organ and tissue
infarction. Weakening of the muscular vessel wall may cause small aneurysms and arterial
dissection. Healing can result in nodular fibrosis of the adventitia.
Histologically, it is a necrotizing angiitis of small
and medium-size vessels whose manifestations are weight loss, fever,
asthenia, peripheral neuropathy, renal involvement, musculoskeletal and
cutaneous manifestations, hypertension, gastrointestinal (GI) tract involvement, cardiac
failure, and cerebral infarcts.
Attacks of fever and cutaneous rash that
occasionally progress to gangrene and amputation of distal portions of toes
and fingers. The cutaneous PAN is usually restricted to the musculoskeletal
system and skin. Clinical findings can range from isolated cutaneous
findings to widespread multisystemic involvement (kidney, heart, liver). The
illness may present as ischemic colitis. Cardiac failure may be caused by
pericardial thickening or by histological changes of the myocardium and
atrioventricular valves, or by myocardial infarction. Cardiac involvement
may lead to cerebral infarction coming from the lesions of the endocardium
or the valves. Often associated with hypertension and eosinophilia. The
unique coexistence of polyarteritis nodosa, antiphospholipid antibodies
(aPL), and perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (p-ANCA) is
described. Disseminated intravascular coagulation may complicate the
illness. Treatment includes high-dose corticosteroids, often in combination
with cytotoxic or immunosuppressive agents such as cyclophosphamide or

The present study investigated predictors of research productivity and science-related career goals in a sample of graduate students in counseling psychology. It was hypothesized that Holland personality and perceptions of the research training environment (RTE) influence interest in research and research self-efficacy. These latter two variables, in turn, were hypothesized to influence research productivity and career goals. It was further hypothesized that the students' gender and year in the doctoral program would contribute to this causal model as additional predictor variables. A sample of 287 graduate students (representing a response rate of 55%) from 15 randomly selected APA-accredited counseling psychology doctoral programs was surveyed by mail to test these hypotheses;The structural equation modeling procedure revealed that career goals and research productivity could be predicted by the aforementioned factors. As hypothesized, Holland personality was directly related to research interest, such that students with Investigative interests were more interested in research. The causal model also suggested that a favorable RTE leads to interest in research, both directly and via research self-efficacy. As predicted, gender was directly related to research self-efficacy, such that men reported greater research self-efficacy than women. Year in doctoral program was positively, directly related to both research productivity and research self-efficacy. Career goals were strongly predicted by research interest, and research productivity was ultimately predicted by a combination of year in program, research interest, career goals, and research self-efficacy. This model provided a very good fit to the data;The present findings have implications for theories and applications of research training. The present study may contribute to theories of research training by presenting a comprehensive examination of all of the major factors previously investigated in the literature as predictors of research productivity and science-related career goals within the context of a causal model. The present model may also aid graduate training programs by helping to identify points in the students' development as researchers at which different aspects of research training are most important, potentially leading to program interventions designed to help students become scientists.

a quick and healthy weight loss method
Chinese food cooking method boiled vegetables diet: for five days in a row, eat in the morning, eat boiled vegetables at noon, eat very full, there are tofu, mushrooms, fungus, fans. only eat one orange at night.
Low-fat vegetable oil for low-fat, sugar-free nutrition: For four hours before going to bed, do not eat. If you find it in the menu, you can find similar food.
In addition to DIY, you can directly purchase the quantity if it is not indicated, then it is a bowl or a cup (small size selection). If the beverage is not indicated, use low-calorie, low-fat and sugar-free (hot and cold).
If you want to eat meat or meatballs without roasting, you would rather use roast than to fry!
When picking ground meat, it is best to replace the beef with chicken.
Compared with pork, beef and other meats, chicken meat has the characteristics of low fat and low heat, and the meat is more refreshing and tender.
Using any cooking method, it can produce delicious food with a variety of accessories, and it is rich in nutrients, and it can almost become the first choice for dieters to take animal protein.
Breakfast is normal, do not eat greasy, such as eating a banana, only 8 calories can fill the stomach in an instant, more people do not eat breakfast recently, and the source of vitality for one day, is breakfast, so haveBananas that are immediate and lasting for energy are the best food for breakfast.
In addition, because bananas are low-speed foods, even those who are losing weight can eat without worry.
Snacks Choose carrots, green peppers, gherkins, broccoli, and celery, which are cut into strips of vegetables and fruits. They can be used as snacks and placed in the refrigerator for consumption.
This kind of cleansing snack is very important. Losing weight is not to disrupt your life, so you must squeeze out the time to lose weight. As long as you add some small snacks to lose weight, you can easily stay slim.figure!
After dinner, I will not eat anything. I usually eat the stomach at the company during the daytime. I can only work overtime when I work overtime. After going home at night, even my mother has a rich dinner, for the slim body.Be sure to hold back and not eat!
Drink plenty of water, drink 8 glasses of water a day at least 8 cups a day can really reduce the sense of drought, wash away the excesses in the body, keep the metabolism and smooth, the whole person is a lot easier, much faster, naturally slim down.
Have an indulgent diet once a week to give yourself a chance to indulge yourself once a week, eat a chocolate cake or a box of ice cream, so as not to accumulate too long, it will lead to hindrance or the outbreak of appetite.
Take a diet meal at noon and stick to a diet meal at noon, drink a box of skim milk, eat an egg, and an apple.
In the morning and evening, the principle of eating seven points is normal, and sweets are forbidden.
The oil intake is well controlled and naturally there is no excess meat.
