It increases your stitches and

A yo creates a hole in the work. The key with yo is that if you want to maintain the same amount of stitches in the piece, you'll have to decrease by 1 st for every YO. YO can also be used to make button-holes.

Community Awareness of Health Problems Associated with Gas Flaring and Programme to Mitigate
Journal of Complementary and Alternative Medical Research,
Background: Gas flaring, which occurs as part oil and gas operations results in release of gaseous toxins into the environment thus has a negative impact on the host communities including fauna, flora and humans. Previous studies focused mainly on the contribution of gas flaring to environmental pollution but not on human health. This article assesses disease prevention and treatment programs for ill-health associated with gas flaring.
Methodology: This research followed a mixed method approach of quantitative and qualitative analysis. Qualitative data comprised open-ended questions that sought the thematic views of community on how the companies liaise with either community and/or government, and what they would want the companies to provide to alleviate the health effects of gas flaring. Chi square and correlations were used on quantitative data to determine agreements and statistically significant differences of responses by participants from the questions that were set on Likert scales. Outcome: Chi-square showed statistically significant difference (X2 = z76, p < 0.017), when distribution of responses to Question-1 (Benefit of oil company to the community) and Question-4 (Oil companies awareness of potential health problems in the community) were compared. Therefore, the null hypothesis is rejected i.e. there is association between variables and awareness of prevalent ill-health due to gas flaring are responded to with preventive and treatment programs.
Conclusion: This notes that there is a relationship between awareness of health problems and intervention and also a lack of capacity among the communities’ low-mid social class to appropriately dialogue with the government for change.
- Community awareness
- gas flare
- human health
- negative impact

That's the verdict of former Reds star Stan Collymore in the wake of his old side's stumbling start to the season.
Liverpool came into the 2017/18 campaign with great optimism that they could win their first ever Premier League title.
But they've suffered the same issues at the back that stopped them from progressing last term and have so far conceded 12 top-flight goals.
Liverpool take on fierce rivals Manchester United on Saturday in a game which may have a huge impact on their title hopes.
“Under Jurgen Klopp they are great in attack but bang-average at the back”Former Liverpool star Stan Collymore sounds off
Collymore says the defensive frailty that could cost them against Jose Mourinho's men is nothing new though.
Writing for the Mirror, Collymore explained: "In the Sir Alex Ferguson era, United had a great goalkeeper, great defenders, great midfielders and great attackers — and they mopped up.
"At Liverpool, even then, we had better attacking options than we did in defence.
"You’d probably have to go back to the days when Kenny Dalglish was a player to find a time when Liverpool were great at the back and great up top.
"Under Gerard Houllier and Rafa Benitez, they were good at the back and average up front, Steven Gerrard and Fernando Torres aside.
"And under Jurgen Klopp they are great in attack but bang-average at the back.
"It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out that teams need balance if they are going to compete for Premier League titles, and it will be evident again at Anfield on Saturday when Manchester United visit."
Liverpool are seventh going into this Saturday's encounter (12.30pm kick-off), seven points adrift of early leaders Manchester City and second-place United.
They can end the weekend as high as third providing they win and results elsewhere go their way.

Guess what? Hanukkah is just one week away, so I'm posting the projects as I finish them in hopes that you'll still have some time to join in on the fun. And I think we all need to give a big round of applause to my husband (and children) for their patience during this slightly crazy crafting marathon....because believe me, it's not pretty!
So, phew, I've finally completed a least one major project with my three little ones, this being the first Chanukiah to make it through the gluing assembly line, with two more to go. And I have to say this was a huge success, from applying glitter glue to the aluminum foil boxes, to covering the cardboard tube candles with glitter. My boys (5 and 7) each felt a huge sense of accomplishment, and I know they're going to be so proud when they see how it looks all glued together!
- a box that holds a roll of aluminum foil or saran wrap, for the base, or improvise....
- cardboard tube for the candles...I used a thicker smaller tube than a toilet paper tube, the kind of tube that one would find in the middle of a huge roll of thick aluminum foil....(yes, I've been saving mine since Pesach!)
- some heavy metallic gold cardstock/cardboard (or improvise or course...cover some paper with metallic gold contact paper etc.)
- heavy aluminum foil, I cut apart a recycled aluminum pan
- silver glitter
- gold sequins
- glitter glue/"tulip" in a few colors
- a few bottle caps for the feet
- hot glue
- Open your cardboard box so that it's flat. Draw a design on the box with pencil. We left the area where the candles would sit blank, but you can plan ahead and decorate that too if you know the sizes of your "candles" Older children should be encouraged to draw the design themselves, but for my boys I knew they'd enjoy the project more if I gave them something to trace.
- Have the kids trace the design with glitter glue, in a few colors, and set aside to dry.
- Cut the cardboard tube into sections, for candles 3" high and for the shamash, 5" high.
- Brush on watered down glue, and coat with glitter by sprinkling the glitter over the tube and turning the tube as you go. Do this over a plate so use can re-use the glitter that falls.
- Cut out flame shapes from gold cardboard, apply lines of glue, and have kids apply sequins.
- Now.....when everything is dry, heat up the glue gun and start assembling! First glue the box closed so that it's a box once again. Glue at least three bottle caps to the bottom for feet. Then glue the candles to the box. Okay we're almost there! Cut circles of heavy aluminum foil about 1/4" bit larger than the tubes all around, and glue those to the tops of the tubes. Then with scissors make slits in the circle and fold down over the tube to form a cap. Using a knife carefully make slits in the aluminum foil caps, and insert flames.
- Sit down and gaze upon your beautiful creation! If you like, kid's can add their flames as Chanukah progresses.

To the Editor: Seizures are a well-documented risk of therapy with clozapine (1). Several anticonvulsants, including valproic acid, phenytoin, and carbamazepine, have been shown to be helpful in the prevention and treatment of these seizures (1). Gabapentin is a relatively new antiepileptic drug with a benign side effect profile and a lack of significant pharmacokinetic interactions (2)). We report the case of an adolescent who experienced seizures with clozapine and was successfully treated with clozapine several years later with the use of gabapentin as a prophylaxis.
Aaron, a 15-year-old boy, was seen for treatment of childhood-onset schizophrenia that had been refractory to pharmacotherapy with mesoridazine, thioridazine, fluphenazine, and haloperidol. There was no personal or family history of seizures. After a medication washout, Aaron began treatment with clozapine. After 4 weeks, when his dose had reached 400 mg/day and he was showing signs of improvement, right-sided myoclonic jerks (multiple, involuntary right arm and shoulder movements with the appearance of punching the air) were noted.
The next day Aaron experienced a 3-minute tonic-clonic seizure followed by a period of postictal confusion. An EEG showed bihemispheric epileptiform activity. His clozapine dose was halved, and treatment with phenytoin was initiated. The development of eosinophilia and an erythematous rash on the dorsum of his hands after 2 days curtailed this treatment; thrombocytopenia curtailed treatment with valproic acid. Clozapine was eventually discontinued after 2 months at a very low dose (25 mg/day) because of continued epileptiform activity on Aaron’s EEGs despite treatment with phenobarbital.
At age 19, despite treatment with risperidone (4 mg/day), a high dose of olanzapine (60 mg/day), and augmentation with haloperidol (2 mg/day), Aaron remained severely disabled by positive and negative symptoms and was admitted for treatment with clozapine. Although he had been taking clonazepam (2 mg/day) for 2 years for anxiety and behavioral disturbances, additional antiepileptic prophylaxis was felt to be essential, given his previous seizure.
Gabapentin was considered the most appropriate anticonvulsant for Allen after consideration of its benign side effect profile, its lack of significant drug interactions (2), and his previous adverse reactions to other anticonvulsants. Gabapentin treatment was begun, Aaron’s olanzapine dose was tapered, and clozapine treatment was slowly reintroduced. After 2 months, Aaron was discharged while receiving 2100 mg/day of gabapentin, 300 mg/day of clozapine, 25 mg/day of olanzapine, and 2 mg/day of clonazepam. After 3 months of clozapine therapy, Aaron showed significant improvement, and there was no evidence of recurrent seizure activity, either clinically or on EEGs.
We describe a patient who had seizures with clozapine, was previously intolerant of traditional anticonvulsants, and was treated successfully with clozapine and gabapentin without showing any recurrence of seizures. Gabapentin should be considered for the treatment of clozapine-induced seizures and/or as a prophylaxis for patients taking clozapine who are at increased risk for seizures, especially patients whose best previous clinical response was to clozapine.

Ekta Kapoor had a treat for fans when she announced that Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan will be introducing Anurag and Prerna in a special promo. Well, the video is out and looks magical. Shah Rukh looks dapper in black as he describes the two lovers like the tracks of a train that do not meet but run parallel to each other. As we know, it is the classic tale of unrequited love where the two love each other deeply but cannot live with each other. In the promo, Parth Samthaan as Anurag looks like a rather sober staid fellow while Erica Fernandes is absolutely stunning as Prerna. We see her as the typical Indian girl in a mustard salwar kameez and later in a black one. The scene with the backdrop of the Howrah Bridge is rather breathtaking. Kasautii Zindagii Kay will air on Star Plus from September 25, which is a Tuesday. (Also Read: Dear Ekta Kapoor, fans are NOT happy with Parth Samthaan’s look as Anurag Basu in Kasautii Zindagii Kay 2)
Shweta Tiwari said a few days back that Palak was approached for the role of Prerna but her daughter was not eager to do a daily soap right now. However, Ekta refuted it saying that she wasn’t aware of Palak being approached. Hina Khan as Komolika will make an entry on the show in October. This is Erica’s second daily soap after Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi. Stay tuned to BL for more updates!

Eminem doesn’t do commercials, but will he guest star on Empire?!
Producer Brian Grazer stopped by Good Morning America today (April 7) to talk about his new book, A Curious Mind: The Secret to a Bigger Life and, of course, the chat eventually turned to his hit FOX show, which broke records during its first season.
“Eminem, I know, loves our show. I produced 8 Mile. I’m going to beg him to get on our show. He and Oprah Winfrey. Somehow I’m going to get one or both of them on our show,” Grazer said, according to HipHop DX. His company, Imagine TV, produces the show.
Show co-creator and director Lee Daniels already expressed interest in Oprah being on the show and actually confirmed it earlier this month, along with a cameo from her Selma costar, Common.
Empire has quickly established itself as not only a network project that’s breaking boundaries, but one that isn’t shy about bringing on some high-profile guest stars.
In one season alone, the show saw visits from Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Hudson, Sway, Raven Symone, Rita Ora, Courtney Love, and Estelle.

India took care of an objective of 184 in Dharamsala, flying to their eleventh back to back T20I win and taking an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series against Sri Lanka. Shreyas Iyer shone with an innings of 74* off 44 balls while Ravindra Jadeja commended his re-visitation of No.5 with a 18-ball 45*, taking India home with 2.5 overs in excess. All that removed a touch of sheen from Dasun Shanaka’s 19-ball 47* prior in the evening yet Sri Lanka would realize that they required more from their bowlers on the evening.
The defining moment of the chase
It didn’t watch simple out there against Sri Lanka’s pacers right off the bat. Dushmantha Chameera picked Rohit Sharma’s wicket in the first over while at the opposite end, Lahiru Kumara hit Ishan Kishan on the head protector and before long had his number as well. Truth be told, after Ishan chipped directly to cover, just 12 runs fell off the 18 balls. Indeed, even Iyer took a gander adrift against the speed before he observed solace in Binura Fernando’s bowling, picking three sequential limits which looking back was the defining moment.
How great was Iyer?
By and by, awesome. He got through India’s drought after Ishan’s wicket with two or three straight sixes against the left-arm twist of Praveen Jayawickrama. He appeared as though he was batting on a very surprising pitch than what Samson appeared to be on, the last option battling for timing at 17 off 19 balls. That is when Samson likewise broke free, trucking into Lahiru Kumara with a four and three sixes prior to being gotten one-gave at sneak past Fernando. Iyer, however, kept at it and took his group over the line, hitting 6 fours and 4 sixes all the while.
The advancement of Jadeja…
Shocked. Particularly on the grounds that Venkatesh Iyer was additionally in the line-up and needs prepping. Yet, Jadeja didn’t squander a conveyance at the wrinkle, in a real sense getting off the imprint with a limit off his first ball. He then, at that point, attacked Chameera in the sixteenth over, hitting a most extreme and three limits to truly rush India’s pursuit. With Samson and Jadeja both coming to the party, 70 runs came in four overs from overs 13 to 16 and that was that.
Sri Lanka’s slow start…
On what obviously resembled a decent pitch, Sri Lanka’s powerplay count of 32 doubtlessly was shouting for additional. The silver lining was that they hadn’t lost a wicket yet the strain to split free ultimately up to speed in the center overs, when three wickets fell inside three overs. Ravindra Jadeja previously got Danushka Gunathilaka captured at long-on, Yuzvendra Chahal then, at that point, stuck Charith Asalanka lbw before Harshal Patel got Kamil Mishara chipping to cover.
How did Sri Lanka get to 183 then?
Things looked much direr when their senior hitter Dinesh Chandimal chipped a more slow ball from Jasprit Bumrah to cover. Sri Lanka were 111/4 after 16 overs, and India looked way ahead in the game by then. Chahal had quite recently wrapped up his spell for 1-27 yet Harshal Patel, bowling the seventeenth and the twentieth overs yielded 19 and 23, getting done with figures of 1-52. However, that is when commander Dasun Shanaka shot his direction to a 19-ball 47 not out. 72 runs came in the last four overs.
Shanaka’s captains knock..
Shanaka hit 2 fours and 5 sixes, hitting the gas pedal and overwhelming India a little. He heated up with two or three sixes against Patel prior to trucking into Bhuvneshwar and afterward Patel again in the last finished. It helped that for the huge part, Shanaka had opener Pathum Nissanka playing the ideal foil, getting a consistent 75 off 53 and getting the essential limits from the opposite end.
Brief Score : Sri Lanka 183/5 in 20 overs (Nissanka 75, Shanaka 47*; Bumrah 1-24) lost to India 186/3 in 17.1 overs (Iyer 74*, Jadeja 45*; Kumara 2-31) by 7 wickets.


Commission Draft Communication on European Green Deal leaked
A Draft Communication on the European Green Deal was leaked during the last week of November. According to the leaked document, the Commission seems to already have defined a number of precise dates for proposals.
The document is entitled “Designing a set of deeply transformative policies” and features a number of detailed actions to be put forward, covering virtually the entirety of the EU’s legislative spectrum.
As regards chemicals, the Commission will adopt a strategy on sustainable chemicals accompanied with a package of regulatory measures taken by 2021. On ecodesign, the Commission expected to take initiative towards a new ecodesign working plan by 2020.

Delivery is scheduled to be finalized in 2014. No dollar value for the deal was disclosed.
“Last year we announced an order to the world’s largest solar power plant in the US for the same unique solution”, said Lars Renström, President and CEO of the Alfa Laval Group. “This order confirms the unmatched energy efficiency of our Alfa Laval Packinox heat exchangers for this innovative application.”
The Alfa Laval Packinox heat exchangers, specifically developed for this application, will be the heart of the thermal storage system where heat from solar power is stored in molten salt, thereby enabling electricity production even on rainy days or at night.
The solution will allow the plant to operate for additional hours on stored energy, in this case an additional 3 hours (from 12 to 15 hours) which is a 25 percent efficiency increase compared to normal daytime solar power production.

1-Butanol can be considered as a good fuel additive, which can be used at high pressures. Therefore, the knowledge of high-pressure thermophysical properties is crucial for this application. In this paper, new experimental data on the speed of sound in 1-butanol in the temperature range from 293 to 318 K and at pressures up to 101 MPa are reported. The speed of sound at a frequency of 2 MHz was measured at atmospheric and high pressures using two measuring sets operating on the principle of the pulse–echo–overlap method. The measurement uncertainties were estimated to be better than ±0.5 m·s−1
and ± 1 m·s−1
at atmospheric and high pressures, respectively. Additionally, the density was measured under atmospheric pressure in the temperature range from 293 to 318 K using a vibrating tube densimeter Anton Paar DMA 5000. Using the experimental results, the density and isobaric and isochoric heat capacities, isentropic and isothermal compressibilities, isobaric thermal expansion, and internal pressure were calculated at temperatures from 293 to 318 K and at pressures up to 100 MPa.

Head of the DKI Jakarta Bina Marga Service, Hari Nugroho, stated that the construction and widening of the sidewalks are not the culprits of traffic jams. In principle, sidewalk widening is necessary to maintain lane consistency.
“No (widening the sidewalk is the culprit for the traffic jam). So we have to understand, we are making the sidewalk to be consistent with road lanes,” said Hari Nugroho when confirmed, Friday (18/11/2022).
Hari gave an example, in the Cikini area for example. Prior to the sidewalk revitalization, the road lanes were inconsistent. This condition causes traffic congestion in the area.
“Like Cikini, it’s 2.5. Yes, we are consistent with only 2. But the rest is half as a sidewalk. It’s good. It’s still 2 lanes, instead of 2 it’s fat. It’s better 2 but it fits and gets sidewalks,” he explained.
In addition, the construction of sidewalks can prevent narrowing of the lane (bottle neck) due to lane inconsistencies that lead to congestion. He also guaranteed that this activity would not interfere with road needs.
“No. Actually, we just made the bottleneck, three, three. Two, two. So why are we thinking about making the roads smaller, no? Indeed, we are thinking that in the future, in a global city, we will prioritize sidewalks,” he said.
“(For example) from 4 to 3, it’s a bottle neck. We’ll make it consistent with all 3,” he added.
In 2023, his party has budgeted Rp 171 billion for the construction of sidewalks. Later, the sidewalk design will be a complete street.
“Complete Street means yes, at least 3-4 meters. Then we use complete street, yes palai bolar or guiding block or something else,” he said.
The construction of sidewalks is focused on a number of areas, including Jalan Mangga Besar, Gunung Sahari Raya, the area around the Jakarta International Stadium (JIS). Then, Mangga Dua Raya, Matraman Raya, part of the Daan Mogot road, Mas Mansyur North segment. In addition, the sidewalks on a number of roads will be equipped with bicycle lanes.
“Our own bicycle path is like the one in Pecenongan Juanda, that’s there. Mas Mansyur also has a bicycle lane, so we build a bicycle lane, the sidewalk is almost 2.2 kilometers long. In essence, if the sidewalk is possible, we will build a bicycle lane ,” he added.
As previously reported, the Chairperson of Commission D DPRD DKI Jakarta Ida Mahmudah views that an in-depth study of sidewalk construction needs to be carried out so as not to cause traffic jams. The reason, he said, is that many sidewalk widening projects in Jakarta actually reduce road volume.
“Our emphasis is that there must be a concept that making sidewalks can be effective and not create traffic jams,” said Ida Mahmudah in a written statement, Thursday (17/11/2022).
The PDIP politician said that the budget for the construction of hundreds of billions of rupiah for sidewalks would be allocated to support a number of integrated transportation areas. After they were all awakened, he reminded that the DKI Satpol PP should carry out the sidewalk monitoring function.
“This is one of Commission D’s recommendations that Bina Marga must work together with Satpol PP to put things in order. So return the sidewalks to their original function. I will convey this at the Banggar meeting later,” he explained.

Kerala Plum Cake Pressure Cooker Method
Recipe Cuisine: Indian | Recipe Category: Plum Cake/Bake
Prep Time: 20 mins | Cook time: 40-50 mins | Serves: 4-6
||3/4 cup + 4 tsp
|Olive Oil/Butter/Cooking Oil
||3/4 cup + 2tsp
1. Take all the spices and keep it aside.. First I’m in the preparation of Caramelized Sugar, It took some time to cool, and we need the ingredients in room temperature.. so here i clearly showed the pictures for caramelizing the sugar.. The reason i sharing the caramelization is atfirst i had lot of doubts in making a perfect caramelized sugar.. Heat a Kadai to good enough hot.. Put the 4 tsp of sugar to the hot Kadai..
2. In the mean time take the 3/4 cup of sugar in a mixer and Add all the spices. and powder this..set aside for later use..
3. Coming to caramelization.. Slowly the sugar starts to melt in the heat Kadai.. I gave 20 seconds gap for each shot.. so don’t low the flame.. Keep melting.. keep melting… In the mean time Heat the water and boil it set aside..
4. Here you go.. It gets melted and and with in few seconds the color will go brown..
5. There the caramelization ends.. Once you saw the melted sugar like this , Add in the Hot boiled water to the caramelized sugar.. the reason of why i use the Hot boiled water here means.. Caramelized Sugar will go crystalized soon, So adding Boiled water Helps to dissolve the sugar easily..
6. Here is the chopped Cherries, Broken cashews, Raisins and Tutti fruity, add all these list to the pan and boil this for 3-4 mins in medium flame. this step helps the cashews and dry fruits to make soft easily..
7. Here All done and switch of the flame.. Drain out the Sugar water Separately.. keep under the fan for few mins to make them cool..
8. Once the Fruit get cooled Dust with some APF/Maida/Flour and set aside.. this Dusting helps the Fruits to sink to the bottom.. Now All done, Take a mixing bowl, Crack open a Egg and beat them well, Once done then crack open the second egg and beat them well..beat till they raise the foam..
9. Here is the Second whipped Egg, Now the third one and beat Like the Same previous step..
10. Add in the Olive oil/Butter/Sunflower Oil, And beat them well.. And Add in the Vanilla Essence and beat them again..
11. Now add the Caramelized sugar Water to the Egg ix and beat them well.. see the Beautiful color after the mix..
12. Now sieve the Maida/APF/Flour, Baking Powder, Baking Soda to the Egg mix.. And fold gently.. Im repeating Don’t beat the flour Just food very very gently then only you’ll get the super soft moist cake.. Now the dusted Fruits.. Again fold them Gently..
13. I should put this on top, I’m Sorry to paste the pic here.. preheat the pressure cooker for 10-15 without weight by placing a stand or tiffin box lid in the bottom..
14. Grease the Baking pan with oil/Butter and gently transfer the folded batter to the pan..
15. Use a Kitchen Gloves or Holder to place the Baking pan inside the Preheated cooker.. Make sure the cooker is hot enough and careful careful you might hurt your hands in this step..
16. Put the Flame to medium, and close the Cooker with out weight.. And bake the cake for 40-45 mins.. Keep a alarm, don’t forget to check after 45 mins.. Pretty indication, which i noted in baking in Pressure cooker, you’ll get a Nice cake smell after 45 mins.. once the aroma released then you are ready to open..
17. How to confirm the cake is done or not.. take a big tooth pick or kebab stick, Drop it slowly in the Mid of the Cake, if the stick comes out Clean then the cake is perfectly done.. if not.. Put the lid again and bake it for few minutes…
- Make sure All the ingredients are in Room Temperature..
- Here i baked a 650 grams of cake in 5 liter pressure cooker..
- Check the Baking ban with pressure cooker before you start the mission.
- No Need to use the cooker Weight, Gasket also a optional to use..
- Put flame in medium, don’t put the flame in low or high.. if the flame is low.. it take more more time to cook.. if the flame is High, the heat spread very fast and cake might burn..the timing here i mentioned for medium flame..
- Grind the spices along with sugar,so that the spices will powder evenly..
- The egg should foam up and raise, This is Trick for fluffy sponge cake..
- If you add the Caramelized water after the batter fold, the cake will be hard, so add it as wise in the procedure..
- Here the Dry fruits and nuts are cooked well so that you’ll get the softness and avoid the step of soaking the fruits and nuts in apple juice for 10-15 days..
- I don’t have orange rind in hands so i skipped int he recipe.. if you had then add two tsp on the folding the fruits with the batter…

SAUEZM expands its work with Norwegian tour operators to develop international tourism
The experts of the SAUEZM enterprises, with the support of the Norwegian-Ukrainian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, presented the tourism potential of the exclusion zone to tour operators from Norway. In particular, they demonstrated the available visit routes, plans to improve the tourist infrastructure and develop the access system to the exclusion zone.
«Over the past 5 years, the number of the tourists has increased tenfold and continues to grow. The vast majority are foreigners. That is why it is important for us to expand our cooperation with the foreign tourist operators so that as many people as possible could visit the exclusion zone and receive the quality and truthful information about Chornobyl», - said the director of SE «COTIS» Volodymyr Kukharev.
The presentation elicited the welcoming response from Norwegian tour operators and the willingness to cooperate. As was noted in the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the attracting international tour operators to Ukraine was an important area of the work. Such cooperation helps to spread the knowledge about our country all over the world and allows to make the process of the visits organization as comfortable as possible for the tourists and organizers.

On November 10, the Tower Hill upper school joined almost 3000 other schools in the annual “Mix It Up Day.” During assembly, the Diversity Club showed two clips from the show What Would You Do?. This series recreates common, yet horrific, situations with actors and secretly films how the bystanders react. The shows played involved racism in shopping and Southern prejudice towards Muslims. Students were confronted with the ethical question: would they have aided the people who were publicly abused?
The second part of “Mix It Up Day” involved discussion at lunch. Students were assigned tables, where they sat with people of other grades and interests. Diversity Club members facilitated the discussion at each table. Students shared their thoughts about the What Would You Do? video clips and divulged their personal experiences. The goal of the exercise was to promote friendships between grades and groups in Tower Hill School and to foster the discussion of issues of race, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation.

A primary motivation of using factor analysis in this study was to characterize the multidimensional aspect of impulsivity. As hypothesized, the PCA yielded a multi-factorial solution, identifying five factors that together predicted nearly 70% of the total variance, with a good inter-consistency among factors. Even though preliminary, the results of our supplementary factor analyses ensured that that each subsample separately yielded a similar factor structure to that found in the overall sample. In general, the ordering of factors across subsamples was slightly different. The only noteworthy difference in factor structure was that Factor 4 was somewhat mutable, exchanging some scales (Zuckerman versus BIS/BAS Behavioral Inhibition) with Factors 1 and 2 depending on which specific subsample is examined. Overall, the factor analysis findings suggest different relationships between behavioral discounting of rewards and self-reported measures in different groups. Self-reported behavioral inhibition is more closely linked with behavioral discounting of rewards in control subjects and sensation-seeking with behavioral discounting of rewards in the ARA group. These findings are intriguing and suggestive of a between-group difference in self-perception measures as they relate to behavioral measures of discounting of monetary rewards. However, we caution against over-interpreting these findings, as the similarities among factor structures greatly outweigh the differences, and the relatively small sizes of the subgroups raise questions about the stability of any observed differences.
There have been numerous previous attempts to clarify the factorial nature of impulsivity (Caseras 2003
; Miller et al 2004
; Quilty 2004
; Reynolds, et al. 2006
; Whiteside and Lynam 2003
). Although a valid criticism of this literature is that different results are obtained depending on which tests are selected to examine, a surprising degree of convergence has emerged on certain key theoretical issues. For example, one central theoretical prediction that continues to be validated across studies derived from Gray's influential theory of personality (Carver and White 1994
), is the finding that scales measuring inhibitory influences on behavior (e.g., Gray's BIS from the BIS/BAS) remain empirically distinct from scales that measure activation, reward, approach, or similar conceptualizations, which are related to different definitions of impulsivity. Our data found the BAS subscales of the BIS/BAS loaded together onto factor 1, which we labeled “Self-Reported Behavioral Activation.” In contrast, the BIS subscale from the BIS/BAS joined scores from the Reynolds EDT measuring delay discounting on factor 4. Although in some studies, tasks theoretically consistent with BAS function are found to be less homogenous in factor structure than BIS indicators (Caseras 2003
), several studies have found that BAS subscales from the BIS/BAS often load together (Miller et al 2004
; Quilty 2004
). Miller and colleagues reported that all three BAS factors loaded onto a single factor, although in that analysis dual-factor loadings were permitted and certain BAS indicators were also linked to other impulsivity factors. Similarly, Quilty performed a confirmatory factor analysis to show that numerous measures thought to measure the Behavioral Activation System did indeed correlate highly with a latent BAS factor. Interestingly, in that study scores which are often conceptualized as ‘impulsive’ such as the Zuckerman SSS and the BIS-11 were found to better represent a separate factor. This is exactly the same as found in our analysis, where all three BIS-11 subscores loaded onto their own factor with the SSS summary score, which we termed “Self-Reported Impulsivity.” These findings reinforce the validity of a primary distinction between inhibition versus activation/reward influences on behavioral tendencies, and extend this understanding to group with varying levels of involvement with substance disorder.
Another area of convergence highlighted by our findings is the separation of reward-based conceptualizations of impulsivity versus those that denote failures in response inhibition/prevention, inability to resist urges, or failure to think through the consequences of actions. This study found that the SPSRQ Sensitivity to Punishment and Sensitivity to Reward indices loaded onto a separate category compared to either domain of the BIS/BAS. This is noteworthy because the SPSRQ was developed in the context of Gray's BIS/BAS theory (Torrubia, et al. 2001
), but instead seems to capture a unique dimension of personality. In our study, both measurements of SPSRQ that reflect desire for reward or fear of punishment were related to scores on the Padua scale of compulsivity. One possible interpretation is that this reflects a tendency towards behavior that is strongly influenced by external influences, regardless of source. If accurate, this might account for the dissociation of this scale from more conventional indices of either the behavioral activation or inhibition systems postulated by Gray, or reconceptualized by Corr as the Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (Corr 2004
), in which the BIS is proposed to specifically mediate conflict between the BIS/BAS. Dysfunction of neural systems thought to underlie conflict resolution have become increasingly of interest to neuroimaging researchers of substance disorder (Franken, et al. 2006
; Goldstein and Volkow 2002
; Jentsch and Taylor 1999
; Kaufman, et al. 2003
). Such research may soon help us better understand relationships among this impulsivity factor found here, theories of impulsivity, and neurobiological dysfunction.
Another important dimension of our results involves the relationship between self-report and laboratory-based measurements of impulsivity. We initially predicted that our results would be in line with other well-conducted studies that found no relationships between self-report and laboratory measures (e.g., Reynolds et al 2006
). However, our results were not entirely consistent with this hypothesis. The BART measure did emerge as a single factor and was orthogonal to all other measures. In contrast, our other computer based task – the EDT – loaded onto a factor with the BIS scale. This is contrary to the report of Reynolds et al. (2006)
, in which the EDT and BART grouped under a single factor dimension that they named “impulsive decision making.” One possible reason for the difference might be that the Reynolds study used a sample on average 10 years younger than ours. As such, it could have been more prone to “methodology effects,” perhaps in part due to maturational differences on tasks conceptually similar to these instruments. Another possibility is the utilization of a different set of behavioral and computer based tasks in the study to measure impulsivity.
The primary value in these findings is to extend an emerging conceptualization of the relationship among indicators of impulsivity to samples defined by their involvement with substance misuse. We took care to utilize instruments commonly employed in the substance disorder field in the hopes that the current results can aid in the interpretation of future research about either the risk or consequences of substance disorder relative to impulsivity. This point is not trivial, as numerous factors are known to bear on the risk for onset of substance abuse (e.g., exposure to drug, age at first use, peer/social influences, plus major “protective” factors such as stable family structure, engagement in extracurricular activities). Analogously, many studies show the deleterious effects of addiction on brain structure and optimal function (Magalhaes 2005
; Spampinato, et al. 2005
). Therefore, it is notable that a coherent multidimensional factor structure, largely in agreement with previous studies, emerges in a sample chosen for its heterogeneity. On the one hand, this supports the conceptualization of impulsivity as both a determinant of, and consequence of substance disorder. On the other hand, the results have important implications for future study of the relationship between substance disorder and different aspects of impulsivity. Several recent studies have supported the idea that impulsive behavior is related to substance abuse (Bickel et al. 1999
; Fillmore and Rush 2002
; Lejuez et al. 2003
; Madden et al. 1997
; Reynolds et al. 2004
) .However, there is no clear consensus between these studies on the role of impulsivity in substance abuse. We also found that even though multiple raw behavioral variables initially served to differentiate the groups, the factor structure between the two groups remained almost the same with minor changes that were consistent with our initial hypothesis. Congruent with previous studies that showed variables such as Zuckerman sensation seeking, SPSRQ and BIS-11 to predict successfully higher impulsivity or other related physiological behaviors in at-risk/addicted groups (Brunelle, et al. 2004
; Moeller, et al. 2002
; Petry 2001
), reports that the factor constructs “Self-Reported Compulsivity and Reward/Punishment Sensitivity” (SPSRQ, Padua) and “Self-Reported Impulsivity” (BIS-11, Zuckerman sensation seeking) successfully discriminated our two study groups. As expected, the ARA groups score higher on each of the factor scores with respect to their controls counterpart. A dual-factor conceptualization of impulsivity has been proposed numerous times and supported by increasing amounts of evidence (Caseras 2003
; Dawe and Loxton 2004
; Patton, et al. 1995
; Reynolds 2006
; Reynolds et al 2006
; Whiteside and Lynam 2003
). Our multidimensional results are largely consistent with previous studies that show drug abusers or subjects genetically at-risk of addiction score higher than non-users on self-report measures of impulsivity, sensation seeking and inattention (Conrod, et al. 1997
; de Wit and Richards 2004
; Slater 2003
; Zuckerman, et al. 1990
). This study therefore utilizes a useful data-analytic technique to take an important step forward in relating the role of specific impulsivity related self-report and behavioral measurements that might be sensitive to substance abuse variables.
Even though we included several behavioral measures, future research could add other types of impulsivity assessments (especially more laboratory/computer-based tasks such as Go/No-Go, Stop Task etc.: Newman, et al. 1985
; Reynolds, et al. 2008
) to capture all relevant domains. Several potential caveats are noted. First, there was a relatively unfavorable case-to-variable ratio in the within-group sample that limited our ability to analyze further sub-groups of interest in the ARA sample (i.e. examining alcoholic and recovering alcoholics or former versus current drug users, etc.). Second, because the temptation exists with factor analysis to ‘invent’ personality dimensions based on the arbitrary results of the approach, we tried to be judicious in naming the factors that emerged from our analysis. Rather than add to a debate on the exact composition of each dimension, we instead chose to discuss how our general findings coincide with emerging theoretically-meaningful findings from the pool of similar studies that have been conducted in the past several years. We believe this is by far the most useful point to make about this type of study. We also note that the inclusion of “Self-Reported” or “Behavioral” terminology in factor naming reflects the still incompletely understood relationships between these two types of methodological approaches to measuring impulsivity. Indeed, a question often raised in characterizing impulsivity is whether it reflects traits that are fairly stable over time, or are transient and sensitive to environmental influences. Self-report measures of impulsivity are often purported to measure the former while the latter is captured more by laboratory tasks. However, even this distinction has been brought into question with studies that find self-rating of impulsive personality traits vary depending on severity of acute psychopathology or similar contextual factors (e.g., Corruble, et al. 2003
; Corruble, et al. 1999
). However, it is encouraging that separate instruments did consistently load onto their own factors. Indeed, only the BART task was left isolated from other measures. This reinforces the multidimensional nature of impulsivity and how impulsivity in relation to substance disorder risk/consequence shares aspects among several commonly-used indicators. We were not able to fully analyze separate subgroups. However, several theorists have proposed that impulsivity is a shared liability to all forms of substance disorder (Lane, et al. 2003
; Logue, et al. 1992
; Paine, et al. 2003
; Richards, et al. 1999
), so we feel our results are meaningful. Finally, we recognize our choice of Varimax rotation imposes constraints on the solution, an alternative factor analytic approaches could find somewhat different results.
In summary, we provide a useful extension to previous studies and further reveal the multidimensional construct of impulsivity measures, with meaningful associations between various self-report and laboratory measures in a cohort of healthy controls and ARA subjects. In addition, we also demonstrate the differences in the underlying constructs of impulsivity between the two groups. We believe that this would allow researchers to investigate the physiological systems underlying the behaviors and in turn help in developing targeted treatments for impulsivity related pathological behaviors.

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (/ / STE-fə-nee jurr-mə-NAH-tə; born March 28, 1986), known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is an American singer and songwriter. Born and raised in New York City, she primarily studied at the Convent of the Sacred Heart and briefly attended New York University's Tisch School of the Arts before withdrawing to focus on her musical career. She began performing in the rock music scene of Manhattan's Lower East Side, and was signed with Streamline Records by the end of 2007. During her employment as a songwriter for the record company, her vocal abilities captured the attention of recording artist Akon, who signed her to his label Kon Live Distribution.
Lady Gaga came to prominence as a recording artist following the release of her debut album The Fame (2008), which was a critical and commercial success that topped charts around the world and included the international number-one singles "Just Dance" and "Poker Face". After embarking on the The Fame Ball Tour, she followed the album with The Fame Monster (2009), which spawned the worldwide hit singles "Bad Romance", "Telephone" and "Alejandro". The album's success allowed her to embark on the eighteen-month long Monster Ball Tour, which later became one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time. Her most recent album Born This Way (2011) topped the charts of most major markets and generated more international chart-topping singles, including "Born This Way", "Judas" and "The Edge of Glory". Besides her musical career, she involves herself with humanitarian causes and LGBT activism.


I assume your question implies that the coolant level drops below the low mark after operating the engine and the coolant system was full prior?
If the coolant has recently been replaced, perhaps the mechanic forgot to "burp" the system to remove all trapped air. Coolant then exits via the overflow tube during operation of the engine.
That occurred on my rig after a shop did the coolant change. After three months of engine shutdowns and top offs due to "low coolant" I bled the system and the problem stopped. (Use coolant bleeder valve and run front dash heater.)
Pull the oil dipstick and see if any coolant is present in the oil.
Otherwise, a pinhole leak in the plumbing could cause the coolant to disappear.

I’ve had this shade sitting around in my collection for what seems like forever. Before my pastel phase I went through a sunset pinky-orange phase, which was when I picked this up. It’s a duochrome foil that goes from pink to orange with a hint of gold… What’s not to love?! 🙂
Sally Hansen Lustre Shine in Lava was part of a collection that Sally Hansen put out in 2012, and it’s a collection they’ve kept available in stores through the past year (so if you want to go out and pick this up it isn’t too late!). The whole line is made up of duochromes, though this was the only one that jumped out at me and so was the only one I picked up at the time. In real life this comes across to my eyes as a pink foil with orange duochrome flashes, but with my lighting set-up you can see the opposite came through in my pictures. Ah well, it’s still stunning!
My only issue with this polish was that the first coat took some work to get it to stick to my nail… The first coat wanted to go on very thin, and I had to do a wee bit of gooping to get the first layer down. From that point on it was fine though, and what you see here is four coats (though three would probably be good, I just had a bit of streaking on one nail with three).
I think this is one of those polishes that would work well in summer when you’re at the beach, but that seems a bit bright and garish for the winter… But maybe that’s just me! 🙂 What do you think? Year-round shade, or keep it to the warmer months? I’m curious to hear what you think!
Thanks for visiting, lovelies!! xx

The most sinful thing I can think of just now is deep fried oreos. We first had them at the Three River's Arts Festival a few years ago. The oreos are dipped in batter, sort of like a funnel cake batter or a donut batter, and deep fried. The cookie is softened to a cake-like center, while the creme melts completely and is absorbed into the surroundings. This place dusted the innocuous looking packets of chocolate decadence with powdered sugar. They're hot and chewy and dry all at once, an explosion of comforting flavors.
Darling Husband and I were discussing them the other day, then coincidentally ran into a deep fried oreo vendor at the Erie Festival of the Arts. These ones were not dusted in sugar, and seemed less melty than the previous, but were still scrumptious. What a fun little surprise.
Of course, you always find yummy (if overpriced) food at these festivals. Run by middle aged people seemingly impervious to the volcanic heat of fryers on asphalt in the July sun, (themselves assisted by their giggly teenaged children) these stalls are a tower of flashy canvas signs stretched over metal pipe frames. They often have samples of their wares sitting out for people to see for themselves if this is the stall from which they will buy their sausage in a bun.
Many of these vendors sell sausage and pepper sandwiches, also cheese steaks, chicken on a stick, mountains of fries or fried potato chips, blooming onions, fried rice, funnel cakes, lemonade--what Darling Husband and I affectionately call "carney food." We've recently been seeing more pita/gyro options as well. This year we tried a pita stuffed with trendy mixed salad greens, grilled shrimp, feta cheese, tomatoes, dried cranberries, cucumbers and a creamy yogurt based dressing. Or was it a vidalia onion dressing? Either way, creamy. The whole sandwich was quite refreshing.
Coming up is the Greek Festival, which is my hands-down favorite of the summer. The food is made by all these little old Greek ladies from the church, and is so incredible that I was really concerned last year that I would go into labor and miss it. I made people promise to bring me spanikopita and moussaka to the hospital if that were the case. Fortunately, I was able to go myself (big as a house, hot as anything, being beat up by a scrunched baby girl and beset by contractions, but loving it).
Summer food, though, is such a thrill for me. Maybe it's the associations with relaxing, long, sunshine filled evenings. Summer is a time of get togethers and friends, of relaxed curfews and bedtimes, of not having to wear a coat or shoes, of going to the beach and the zoo and the park and lots and lots of picnics. I love picnics. I love to eat outside, regardless of the occasion: in a restaurant, on the porch, in a pavilion, whatever. Coffee on a sunny summer morning, taken on the porch. Ahhh, I feel relaxed just thinking these things.
The grill, a summer powerhouse, gives distinctive and wonderful flavor to everything. Almost everything tastes better grilled! Meats, veggies, fruits... we do corn, chicken wings, pizza, even clams. And of course, the ubiquitous classics (oldies but goodies-they stick around for a reason!) the burgers and hot dogs.
This weekend promises picnics galore, as everyone celebrates our country's Independence in different ways. For my part, I adore fireworks. Especially with a tummy full of picnic food.

While Rainey is homosexual, the ballet stated most of its male dancers are straight. “There’s no obvious cause why sexual orientation should be associated with how masculine or feminine one is, but it’s in our species. And it most likely has to do with the causes of sexual orientation and early results of hormones on the brain,” Bailey mentioned.
Some blood centres in Spain and Italy have taken the approach of asking about safe intercourse practices or monogamy, however those international locations have totally different blood methods than Canada’s. In these countries, physicians interview particular person donors and could possibly perform individual well being assessments.
The issue has so far been before a number of federal appeals courts with a combination of outcomes. Several explanations have been initially suggested, including older age of the mom or the daddy, and the social interactions between a number of boys raised in the same family. However, the massive variety of studies confirming this phenomenon, based mostly on huge numbers of topics, allowed partial regression strategies to reject these interpretations. For instance, older organic brothers raised apart nonetheless affect the chances of the proband being homosexual, while older step-brothers living in the same home appear to haven’t any effect. The FBO impact on sexual orientation can be associated with a decreased body and mind weight at delivery, additional suggesting that the developmental process triggered by older brothers begins prenatally . Twenty years in the past, Ray Blanchard and Anthony Bogaert demonstrated that the probability of a boy growing up to be homosexual increases for each older brother born to the identical mother, the so-called fraternal start order impact.
This won’t sound like a giant deal – after all it’s only a phrase used to establish a large group of individuals, right? But herein lies the problem, because after carrying out my latest analysis, which involved over 600 LGBT individuals from throughout the UK, I’m undecided that community is a really suitable word for such a diverse group of people.
Fear of, contempt of, or discrimination against homosexuals or homosexuality, normally based mostly on adverse stereotypes of homosexuality. Young people interviewed by Human Rights Watch for this report used a variety of terms to describe same-sex attraction and gender variance.
They feel comfy about being drawn to somebody of the identical gender. For many LGBT people, it may possibly feel like everybody is anticipated to be straight. Because of this, some homosexual and lesbian teens may really feel different from their friends when the heterosexual people round them start speaking about romantic feelings, dating, and sex. Let’s first be clear that regardless of the origins of our sexual orientation, there’s a unanimous opinion that homosexual “conversion therapy” ought to be rejected. The gender id of individuals whose sex assigned at birth doesn’t conform to their recognized or lived gender. A transgender particular person usually adopts, or would prefer to adopt, a gender expression in consonance with their gender id however could or could not desire to permanently alter their bodily characteristics to conform to their gender id.
This reaction is strengthened by the wrong perception that homosexual cues never stimulate heterosexuals. One further complicating think about all this is that some obsessive thinkers mistake feelings of hysteria for emotions of sexual arousal. The two are actually physiologically similar in some ways.
Women, by contrast, we give more room to be sexually fluid, as the sizeable literature on the subject attests. While I had already ready a response for this very moment, I quickly realized three things.
Someone isn’t going to turn round and say, “You know what? You’re right. I’ve thought about it and I was completely influenced by that homosexual character in that show. It’s simply that guy in that show will get to wear all the good hats.” I also can let you know that actively not talking to your son or daughter during an especially sensitive and weak second is the simplest method to make a human being feel like the loneliest particular person on the earth. I awkwardly moved around the house, alone with my very own ideas. If you’ve a toddler who is popping out to you, I wouldn’t recommend this. It’s not comforting to immediately be made to feel like you’ve carried out something incorrect. “Homosexual orientation doesn’t increase in frequency with social tolerance, though its expression could achieve this,” they write. Blanchard believes that this phenomenon grows stronger with every boy a woman bears.
One, that this would be the first of many instances I must come out. (It isn’t like you come out once, and then everybody is aware of.) Two, popping out is tense.
Maybe it’s towards your religion to be gay, however what’s more important? If it is your religion, possibly what happened to me next goes to be a blessing in your LGBTQ child, who wants to be themself however would not have the environment to thrive. My dad and mom could not handle it, and on a selection of events I was requested by my dad, “are you sure?” Again, not recommended. When someone is coming out — compelled or willingly — they’re sure.
In 1985, only 24% of American respondents mentioned that they had a gay friend, relative or co-worker — in 2013, that number was at 75%. “It doesn’t appear to matter as much whether or not people consider that gay individuals are born that means as it does that they simply know someone who’s currently gay,” Allen concludes. ninety two (finding that the “gay propaganda” laws violate the right to freedom from discrimination). On January 18, 2016, a court in Murmansk, in northwestern Russia, fined Sergei Alekseenko, an LGBT rights activist, for violating the “gay propaganda” ban. Alekseenko is the former director of Maximum, a gaggle in Murmansk that supplied legal and psychosocial help to LGBT individuals.
He’d somewhat discover another place on the sexual/romantic continuum, some location that matches him more comfortably. Talking to them, I discovered that in essentially the most common sense, a mostly straight young man is sexually and/or romantically distinctive; we’d say that he’s fluid or versatile, supposedly uncharacteristic of male sexuality. Traditionally, our understanding has been that if you’re male and have even a slight attraction to the same intercourse, then you should be homosexual. Even if this isn’t instantly apparent, we inform males, it will turn out to be so once you come to terms along with your true self and exit your “phase” of bicuriosity or questioning.
My Administration can be working to promote and protect LGBTQ+ human rights abroad. LGBTQ+ rights are human rights, which is why my Administration has reaffirmed America’s dedication to supporting these on the entrance lines of the equality and democracy actions around the globe, usually at great danger.
Her writing covers points regarding social justice, hashish, and health. Our Foundational Curriculum is a designed to create a Safe Zone a hundred and one overview workshop. We suggest this workshop for all audiences – gay, straight, queer, allied, and anyplace in between those classes. While a few of it might be old info for some, we consider that everybody, regardless of their knowledge degree, will get one thing out of the experience.
It’s fully normal to have questions because these areas are very advanced. Each person’s emotions and experiences with these matters are unique. It feels like you’re nervous about how your dad and mom might react when you come out, since you come from a religious household. Many dad and mom go through their own course of when their youngster comes out, and sadly some react much less favorably than others. If you feel like coming out to your mother and father will put your security at risk – like when you fear they might kick you out, or begin treating you very badly because of your id – then that’s an necessary factor to remember.
Grandparents Threatened To Both Assist Transgender Grandchild Or Be Reduce Off
“It’s that you just’re obsessive about fashion, and that you tan so much and that you just color your hair,” they stated. “Not all homosexual males are superstylish. Not all straight men are dangerous dressers,” he said. To encourage thoughtful and respectful conversations, first and last names will appear with each submission to CBC/Radio-Canada’s online communities (except in kids and youth-oriented communities). This doesn’t need to be a repeating sample for the LGBTQ group, but it is very a lot, to various degrees, a preferred story arc within the LGBTQ expertise. Being there for someone coming out shouldn’t be this troublesome.
Continue to publicly name on the Russian authorities to repeal the “gay propaganda” legislation. Bullying can take many types, together with stares, appears, whispers, threats and violence. If you’re being bullied since you’re homosexual, lesbian or bisexual, inform free gay porn someone you belief. This could possibly be a teacher, good friend, your parents, or a helpline. Some people do not perceive that being homosexual, lesbian or bisexual is normal.
But gaps will stay, corresponding to why some firstborn sons are gay, why some identical twins of homosexual sons are straight, and why women are gay, to call only a few.
