Blown Away By The Quality Of This AMP
I just purchased this Power Amplifier from HI FI Gear for £795 & I can't begin to tell you how impressed I am with this model. I have an old pair of B&W floor standing Speakers DM 604 S3, they are a nightmare to power. My old NAD power amp gave up the ghost 2 years ago & I have had no amp for 2 years, I finally found a mid range power amp with the muscle to power my B&W Pair with plenty of muscle left in reserve. These 250 watts at 8 ohms effortlessly power the most stubborn of speakers. I just matched them with the Audiolab 8200 CDQ that I got for an amazing price of £875 from Vickers Hi Fi, they Complement each other perfectly. At the moment I am streaming music from my pc connected to my sony Bravia TV via HDMI ,connected to the Audiolab CDQ via spidif fiber optic ,connected to the Rotel Rb 1572 connected to the B&W DM 406 S3 speakers. I am amazed just how good Google play actually sounds when powered properly. I played a CD of Madonna's True Confessions on the Audiolab CDQ, the speakers started eat into the floor the bass was amazing the true flow was brilliant. The CDQ has no BASS, No TONE, No TREBLE, the sound you get out of the CD is how it was supposed to sound. I streamed the Crystal Method Album Tweekend through Google-play, the quality of the stream-Sound, made Madonna sound like a rank amateur. I am a very happy bunny, ;) Streaming movies or just watching TV with this amp & Preamp set up is an absolute joy. Sound quality over Bluray will blow you away,forget surround sound amps they suck, go for this instead you won't be disappointed.

Weight loss, in the context of medicine, health, or physical fitness, refers to a reduction of the total body mass, due to a mean loss of fluid, body fat or adipose tissue or lean mass, namely bone mineral deposits, muscle, tendon, and other connective tissue. Weight loss can either occur unintentionally due to malnourishment or an underlying disease or arise from a conscious effort to improve an actual or perceived overweight or obese state. "Unexplained" weight loss that is not caused by reduction in calorific intake or exercise is called cachexia and may be a symptom of a serious medical condition. Intentional weight loss is commonly referred to as slimming.

But you'll lose the most fat by doing HIIT, or high-intensity interval training. This training technique involves working at full throttle for short intervals -- typically 10 seconds to a minute -- then recovering at a slow pace or resting for a minute or two. It increases your metabolism after a workout, since your muscles need to work hard to get "back to normal." HIIT also burns more belly fat than traditional, steady-pace cardio, according to Penn State University.
When researchers in Brazil studied 13,000 people over a three-year period, they found that men with the highest levels of inflammatory agents in their body were also the most likely to gain weight. And periodontal disease, which is caused by poor oral health care, is one of the most common sources of inflammation. Brushing twice a day, flossing, and making regular trips to the dentist are the best ways to prevent the disease. Hate flossing? Studies show that a dose of Listerine may be just as effective at reducing levels of inflammatory bacteria within the mouth.
You don’t have to hop on the Paleo train and ride it all the way to the station, but increasing your intake of protein and reducing your intake of carbs is one of the fastest ways to lose belly fat without additional exercise. Protein helps to balance blood sugar and lower levels of insulin, a hormone that signals your body to store fat, especially around your midsection. For healthier carb alternatives, skip the white bread and pasta in favor of whole-grain complex carbs, seasonal fruits, root vegetables, and squashes. Here are more foods that are proven to flatten your belly.
Estrogen often shows as Moobs for men and fatty thighs (thunder thighs) for Women. There are ways you can solve this problem but you must understand what is the problem and what is the symptom. A lot of it comes down to chemicals, heavy metals and toxins we expose ourselves to. For example: non organic meat and antibiotics fed to animals or even air pollution. Other examples are deodorants and sprays, birth-control pills, plastic and bacteria in water.
The efficacy of Nutrisystem boils down to portion control. A tiny tray of frozen tuna casserole doesn’t provide a lot of nutrients or satisfaction, but if that’s all you have for dinner, you’re keeping calorie count low. We entered in a couple Nutrisystem meals and found their point count to be mid-high, between 7 and 9. Ultimately, tiny amounts of not-wholesome foods doesn’t teach you to eat well.
First of all thank you very much for your valuable comment. I am sure you do agree that the Mediterranean diet and Dash diet are not considered as ‘fad diets’ but they are among the healthiest diets to follow with many benefits besides weight loss. As far as the other 3 diets is concerned (17 day diet, slim-fast and dukan diet), they are included in the list because they are better than other commercial diets in many aspects and if followed for a SHORT period of time can generate results.
But the information that researchers are unearthing about the differences in the way that men and women lose weight inspires hope that the next generation of weight-loss advice will be more tailored and effective than the generic tips that have gotten Americans no closer to sliding into their dream jeans. (More than a quarter of Americans are obese, according to a May Gallup poll, a number that has been ticking upward for years). Although experts have long insisted that losing weight is simply a matter of burning more calories than you consume, they now say that it’s much more complicated than that.
There is plenty that you can do to get even more out of your walks. Stephanie Cyr began her 102-pound weight loss journey by walking for an hour each night—but there was a catch. "I mapped out a 3-mile course that took me through the hills in my neighborhood," she says. Live in a flat area? Alternate 1 minute of super-fast walking with 1 minute of slower walking for a calorie-torching interval routine.
Yes, you read that right. Simply walking can go a long way toward helping you shed belly fat, says Sahmura Gonzalez, a master trainer at Crunch in New York City. "It seems so simple, but 45-60 min of brisk walking every day can do wonders for your metabolism," says Gonzalez. "Plus, it ensures that you don't over-train, which can lead to an over-production of cortisol—a stress hormone that's been shown to contribute to belly fat." In fact, if your walking workout helps you unwind after a stressful day or work through emotions that might otherwise rile you up and stress you out, there's a chance it'll help you lower cortisol levels, which in turn can keep belly fat in check, says Gonzalez. And brisk walking is an effective way to drop pounds—including the belly fat that's hiding your abdominal muscles. "One hour of rapid walking a day can lead to 1 pound of fat loss a week," says Gonzalez. "That is significant!" (Discover how you can lose up to six times more weight with Prevention's walking plan.)
Watching that extra junk around your trunk turn your body into a full-blown Buddha belly puts you at an increased risk for heart disease, diabetes, and early death. Luckily, losing the weight doesn’t have to take forever; with these 22 belly fat-fighting tips, you can shave two inches off your waistline in as little as two weeks. Think your age will stand in the way of your weight loss? The 20 Ways to Lose Your Belly When You’re Older will help folks of any age get on track to their best body ever.
A 2012 study in the Journal of Functional Foods found that people who drank one and a half cups of green tea enriched with a total of 609 milligrams of catechins (a group of antioxidants that have been shown to help burn fat cells) every day for 12 weeks lost almost 16 times as much visceral fat as those who consumed green tea without the added antioxidants. To achieve similar results with store-bought green tea, you’ll need to brew two to four cups daily (many varieties can contain 160 to 470 milligrams of catechins per cup).
A 2018 study among more than 600 adults who were tracked for a year concluded that while there are different paths to weight loss, the advice to limit added sugars and refined grains, add more veggies to your plate, and eat more whole foods — in other words, focusing on the quality of your diet — is the way to go. People who followed this advice lost weight without worrying about calories.
You have to treat the body as a complete system and play within the rules. That’s part of the magic in the BellyProof program. We aim beyond giving you the best way to achieve results, but also to educate you on what works and what doesn’t. Because the fastest way to lose belly fat can never be about short-cuts. It’s about doing things right and milking every angle in your benefit.
Women’s challenge with weight loss also comes down to nature. Nature wants to preserve a woman’s ability to bear children. When you’re in a calorie deficit, it can interfere with your fertility, so your body fights weight loss to prevent jeopardizing your reproductive capacity. So don’t cut more than 1,000 calories a day or eat fewer than 1,200 calories daily.
You can’t skimp on sleep. Losing weight for good calls for a total lifestyle change -- and that includes getting more Zs. Missing the recommended seven to nine hours of shut-eye has been linked repeatedly with increased obesity rates. “When you don’t sleep enough, it certainly affects your brain,” explained Dr. Arad. “What we’ve learned is that people who don’t sleep well are making poor choices — eating more unhealthy diets, and they are obviously more fatigued, so they become less physically active.” In fact, people who sleep six hours or fewer per night on average consume about 300 extra calories the following day.
Removing saturated fat (the kind found most often in animal products like meat) and replacing it with monounsaturated fat in moderation is undoubtedly a good thing. It helps lower LDL “bad” cholesterol and the chance of heart attack and stroke. So it’s a good approach for anyone with diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or heart disease.
Since insulin sensitivity is at its highest in the first two weeks of the menstrual cycle, and carb intake is free to be at its highest, exercise can be more aerobic (long, moderate heart-rate-elevating cardio exercises). It is at this time that you can do your best high performance cardio training. Here you can challenge yourself with longer-term exercises that may be more “stressful” for your body, like long bike rides, tabata sprints, night-long dance sessions, and the like. It is at this time in your cycle that your body can handle the most aerobic stress.
Support your weight loss and exercise program by getting between 1.2 and 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram (or 0.55 and 0.73 grams per pound) of your body weight, recommends research published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition in 2013. For a 200-pound woman, this would suggest you aim for 110 to 146 grams of protein daily, split up among three to five meals.
Most people are not aware that leptin plays an enormously important role in the development of obesity. Leptin is a hormone produced by your fat cells that is just as important as insulin in determining your risk for type 2 diabetes and other chronic diseases. It also impacts how much you eat and how much fat you burn, and leptin resistance specifically causes your body to produce and accumulate visceral fat around your midline. So how do you become leptin resistant? In short, by:
Then, there’s biochemistry. In women, ghrelin — the “I’m hungry” hormone — spikes after a workout, while leptin — which tells the brain ‘I’m full!’ — plummets, according to a 2009 study in the American Journal of Physiology — Regulatory, Integral and Comparable Physiology. Not so in men. So post-workout, women tend to eat more, which puts them at risk to gain weight. Men don’t experience this same hormonal fluctuation.
Similar to the CICO diet, the Body Reset has gained popularity via social media, and there isn’t any definitive research that suggests the approach is safe and effective. Celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak created the plan, which is essentially a three-phase liquid diet comprised of smoothies and moderate exercise. While U.S. News notes you may lose weight on the diet, it may be tough to stick with, and isn’t safe for people with diabetes and heart disease. (38)
However, this approach has had limited long-term success. First of all, few people can continue for weeks, let alone months and years, using will power to limit calorie intake when they are hungry much of the time. Indeed, it is clear this strategy usually fails because while more Americans are going on diet and exercise programs, there has been a steady rise in the average American’s body mass index (BMI). Today, roughly two-thirds of adults are overweight or obese, childhood obesity has more than doubled in the past 30 years, and adolescent obesity has tripled.
Curcumin is an anti-inflammatory component extracted from the herb turmeric. With a few capsules a day, or by adding the pungent spice to your food, curcumin supports a healthy inflammatory response by mediating several inflammatory processes in your body. Research has shown curcumin supports a healthy metabolism and is a great ingredient to add to any recipe to cure your belly fat. To get the maximum benefit of curcumin, look for a turmeric extract that contains at least 95 percent curcumin.
Engaging in cardiovascular exercise more 250 minutes a week can lead to significant weight loss, reports the American College of Sports Medicine. In 2013, the journal Plos One published a review of research -- which asserted that even without major dietary changes -- engaging in moderate or high intensity aerobic training can reduce visceral fat in overweight men and women after 12 weeks. This doesn't mean that you can get away with not changing your diet -- this result demonstrates the power of physical activity.
^ Mann, T; Tomiyama, AJ; Westling, E; Lew, AM; Samuels, B; Chatman, J (April 2007). "Medicare's search for effective obesity treatments: diets are not the answer". The American Psychologist. 62 (3): 220–33. CiteSeerX 10.1.1.666.7484. doi:10.1037/0003-066x.62.3.220. PMID 17469900. In sum, there is little support for the notion that diets ["severely restricting one’s calorie intake"] lead to lasting weight loss or health benefits.
3. Be realistic about which habits need to go. "When I was heavy, I'd eat French fries every single day, plus carbs at almost every meal—like a sandwich for lunch or bread with pasta for dinner. A diet so heavy in fried food and carbs just isn't conducive to weight loss. To lose the weight, I went from three large meals a day to six small meals, mostly made of fresh vegetable salads with lean meats and nuts. And no more bread!"
If you haven't used your gym's rowing machine, you're missing out on one of the best pieces of cardio and strength equipment. Working your quads, glutes, hamstrings, core, arms, and back, you get a total-body workout that'll have you pouring sweat. Contrary to what most people think, the power of rowing mostly comes from your legs—not your arms. Engaging your quads and glutes, you drive your legs back to pull the handle towards your chest. Follow these pro tips to perfect your rowing form.
Not all carbs are created equal. A study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that dieters who eat whole grains lose more belly fat than those who consume refined grains. How does it work? Whole grain foods are high in fiber, which help maintain low insulin levels. Research from the University of Kuopio in Finland suggests that low levels of insulin may shrink fat cells.
I made this for the first time tonight. I used my Ninja blender. I peeled and cut the cucumber. I hand squeezed the lemon and removed the seeds. I used actual aloe vera plant and skinned it leaving only the gel. I grated ginger with a basic cheese grater and threw in some cilantro that I had in the freezer (you can freeze your kale, fresh spinach, mint etc for your future smoothies!) I blended everything up with the 1/2 cup of water until it was a nice liquid. Perfect and easy. I think it is pretty tart and I would like a bit of honey or stevia to balance that out. I’ll try a half teaspoon tomorrow. I wouldn’t suggest making this a super sweet drink. Think of it as more of a health juice with a purpose. 🙂
This is a typical problem for anyone with abdominal fat (visceral fat). When a body part is cold to the touch, it often indicates restrictive blood flow. In belly fat, it’s to and from the abdominal tissue. Especially in contrast to subcutaneous fat. Blood supply to a fat tissue you want to get rid of is a key ingredient. This is often the reason why people manage to lose fat everywhere, expect for stubborn areas. No circulation means no oxygen and growth hormone where you need them.
Satisfying your sweet tooth doesn't require a refined sugar-packed snack. The key is retraining your taste buds to recognize naturally sweet foods, like fruit. "To curb my hankering for treats, I eat mangoes," says Tamyala Ezell, who lost 105 pounds by making over her eating habits and working out three times a week. "They have a natural sweetness that does the trick. Plus, they're low in calories and high in fiber." Another example? "I top berries, nectarines, and cherries with homemade whipped cream, nuts, and dark chocolate," says Goetke.
The good news is that you already own the best tool for shedding that bad-news belly fat: your bike. The key is performing a variety of workouts that build your fat-burning engine, rev your metabolism and the production of fat-burning hormones, suppress your appetite, and help you burn more fat and calories all day long. Yep, your bike can do all that. Here’s how.
Eat polyunsaturated fats. While saturated fat leads to the body's retention of visceral fat, causing abdominal girth and excessive weight gain, studies have shown that a diet high in polyunsaturated fat helps promote the production of muscle mass instead of body fat. Polyunsaturated fats can also help reduce cholesterol levels in the body, lowering the risk of stroke and heart disease. Sources of polyunsaturated fats include:
You can blame biology for your sweet tooth. We’re hardwired to have a preference for sweets, and this drive is universal and begins early on, according to research on the subject. Sugar makes food taste good, so food companies add it to everything from breads to soups to salad dressings to cereals, yogurts and more. This adds up to way too much sugar!
A 2012 study also showed that people on a low-carb diet burned 300 more calories a day – while resting! According to one of the Harvard professors behind the study this advantage “would equal the number of calories typically burned in an hour of moderate-intensity physical activity”. Imagine that: an entire bonus hour of exercise every day, without actually exercising. A later, even larger and more carefully conducted study confirmed the effect, with different groups of people on low-carb diets burning an average of between 200 and almost 500 extra calories per day.

'He did not deserve it,' Golding says sorry to Terrelonge over homophobic comments
Opposition spokesman on finance Mark Golding has taken to social media site Facebook apologising to St Catherine East Central MP Alando Terrelonge for homophobic comments he made against his fellow legislator.
"He did not deserve it," Golding said in the post.
Yesterday, the People's National Party (PNP) hierarchy denounced comments made by senior members at a constituency meeting in St Catherine East Central on Sunday saying it would not endorse any form of discrimination.
Other PNP members Horace Dalley and Dr Dayton Campbell also made controversial comments.
According to Golding, his disparaging comments happened in a moment of "platform intoxication".
"I regret getting caught up in the hoopla of a political meeting and indulging in that unworthy form of political discourse," Golding said in his public apology to Terrelonge.
He said he was sorry particularly because Terrelonge has always treated him with respect and decency and since personally, he advocated for everyone to be treated with respect and decency.
What the PNP members said:
… PNP straight, we nuh bend up, bend up.
Terrelonge, when him see the straightness of the man who's coming against him, will be wobbling and quaking.
Dr Dayton Campbell
The little fake Rastaman weh name Terrelonge ..., all me hear him talking about is toxic masculinity. Me ask him, ‘A wah dat?’ Every day him get up, him deh pon ‘toxic masculinity’, and I don’t know what is that.

Next month, on 6th April 2022 the much-anticipated changes to modernise divorce laws are coming into effect. The legislative reforms under ‘The Divorce, Dissolution and Separation Act 2020’ aim to reduce conflict amongst couples ending their marriage or civil partnership. This blog shares what to expect from the changes.
Going through a divorce or legal separation is never easy and can be overwhelming. However, it is always recommended to try and resolve matters where possible, without involving the courts, which may trigger acrimony or aggravate an already acrimonious situation further. This is one of the reasons we are supporters of family mediation, which we know can help separating couples to move forward with their lives, in a way that works best for their family. In this article, we’ve shared some key benefits of family mediation to consider.

12 Healthy Meal Plans for Less Than $10 a Day
Eating well can be a challenge. Between work, family, and social functions, it's hard to maintain a healthy diet while avoiding those tasty indulgences loaded with empty calories. Some of us turn to experts for guidance, but there are so many conflicting opinions about what is actually healthy, and new fad diets seem to come along every week. To make matters worse, food marketed as healthy is often more expensive, leading consumers to believe that they need to spend more to eat well. In truth, healthy food is often cheaper, especially when you prepare your own meals and avoid prepackaged items. Cheapism.com pulled together 12 complete meal plans with healthy, nutritious food for less than $10 a day.
This quick and satisfying smoothie is a go-to breakfast for the budget and health conscious.

The following interview was conducted to Merveille Charles Kakule Saliboko, a member of the Young Peace Journalists from Butembo, North Kivu province, DRC. He tells us why he chose to become a Young Peace Journalist for Pax Christi Internationaland explains from his own perspective the importance of such project.
Name: Merveille Charles Kakule Saliboko
Age: 26 years old
Hobbies: Communications, journalism, blogging writing, traveling
This interview has been made to Merveille Charles Kakule Saliboko, a young peace journalist based in Butembo, North Kivu, in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Merveille is also a journalist, blogger, and works in communications for certain organisations. He writes for print, online press, and radio on topics relating to peace, agriculture, the environment, and sustainable development in the African Great Lakes region since 2010. His passion is to tell the stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things, marginalized people, people displaced by war and waiting for the return of peace in their respective hometowns.
Why did you decide to take Pax Christi International training?
In March 2016, I published an article on people fleeing the massacres of Beni, article published in the French magazine Afrique Agriculture. This article was awarded by AJVPD Tupashe Amani in collaboration with the MONUSCO public information section as part of the Amani Presse Peace Journalism Awards in North Kivu in May of the same year. The Young Peace Journalists initiative is timely, to enable me to sustain this peace journalism experience serving refugees, displaced persons, asylum seekers …
How did you hear about it?
My cousin Kennedy Wema, who is a journalist (president of Syfia International and Reporters Without Borders correspondent in the DRC), took part in a Pax Christi International activity held in late 2016 in South Africa. Knowing that I had won a peace journalism award and knowing my concern to make this world better through peace journalism, he invited me to apply by sending me the phone number by email.
Why did you choose to interview these people?
It seemed interesting to me to better understand the situation that the orphaned child victims of the Beni massacres go through on a daily basis, when they fled, how their life goes in the community that welcomes them (here the school) and how the teachers understand the behavior of these children: how do these teachers “adapt” to the victims? Are they prepared to deal with the unpredictable cases of these traumatized victims? Are these victims sufficiently integrated? These are the questions that I wanted from the start to have answers for, to better present this situation to the rest of the world.
As for the second interview (to be published soon), I also proceeded with a questioning: the decision of the Prime Minister was made, was it followed? What is the current situation of Rwandan refugees living in Congo-Brazza? Are they stateless? What was the level of their integration into the local community (they have just spent 20 years in this country, for many of them!)? Questions that allow me to identify the situation of these people, in light of the cessation clause of the refugee status put forward by Rwanda since the end of 2017 that only Congo-Brazza has decided to apply.
Is migration a hot topic in your country?
This is a subject that is on the lips especially in the province of North Kivu where I live. Tribal communities are wary of each other especially towards the Rwandophone populations. They are rightly or wrongly accused of being at the root of the conflicts in the region. Recently, there was even a petition to demand the split of North Kivu, a petition initiated by the Rwandophones (Hutu and Tutsi). The same approach was initiated in South Kivu. In both cases, the other communities spoke with one voice, and initiate a counter-petition for the territorial unit of said provinces. In an amalgam, some people even say that the killings in Beni are perpetrated by Hutu who want to go to Ituri (there were also massacres not long ago, by the same people according to these sources). Looking for land to cultivate. This situation had even hampered the free movement of people from Goma (capital of the province) to Butembo (economic lung): thus, in mid-2016, two innocent women from Goma were stoned and burnt alive in Butembo. I had denounced this situation on my Facebook account, giving the true identity of these victims, the reason for their trips (family or business): here too, the youth had become aware. Given the relative prosperity of the Butembo region, there is no feeling of emigration. It is above all the internal migrations (mentioned above) that are all the rage.
How many interviews have been conducted up to now?
For the moment, a paper has been published. It’s a compilation of five interviews created with victims of the massacres of Beni, in the Nord-Kivu province in the east of the DRC. In the second interview, we see a human rights activist from The Congo, who tells us about the situation of Rwandan refugees in this country: what they endure, in light of the recent decision of the Congolese Prime Minister Clément Mouamba, to apply the secession clause of the refugee statute (as requested by the Rwandan government). This interview will be published next 29th of June.
What has changed?
It is difficult at the present time to quantify the changes in the communities that have been affected by the publications. Still, the article on the victims of the massacres sparked a wave of solidarity in the comments in the various Facebook groups where I shared the link. More awareness was born.As for the article on Rwandan refugees living in Congo-Brazza, we are waiting for the publication to have an impact. I hope that this will be the beginning of an awareness of the situation of those people we hardly talk about, except for the rare moments when the “officials” of the United Nations (UNHCR), Rwanda and Congo decide to talk about it.
What did it bring you personally?
I got out of it a lot of things. First, a practical training on peace journalism (I parachuted in this area by winning a prize following an article published in the “agricultural” sense). I needed to be equipped to cope better with the various situations in the region in which I live: I am convinced that peace in the world begins with me. I also met other young people, peace-loving like me.

Air Quality in Production Facilities
The development and evolution of Food Safety Plans for each individual food production facility has included the implementation and the upgrading of environmental monitoring programs (EMP). The goal of an EMP is to gauge and monitor the presence of microorganisms within the manufacturing site. This includes the testing of food contact and non-food contact surfaces with particular focus on high traffic areas, niche harborage sites, worn structural sites and wet areas where condensation may have occurred. The sampling for a standard EMP predominantly focuses on surfaces (e.g. belts, floors, drains, floor-wall junctures, doors, posts, bins, pallets, etc.). In addition to testing surfaces in a standard EMP, it is pivotal to consider the role of air quality.
The management of air quality can mitigate the incidental introduction of yeast, mold and bacteria in the production stream or in finished product, post-processing but pre-packaging. Standard sanitation procedures are designed with the treatment of processing equipment and the physical area within the production area in mind. However, if there were a contamination event within an air handling system, re-introduction and contamination of the production area would occur while the air handling system is running. As such, insight into the quality of air and managing the direction of air flow is pivotal for Food Safety and Food Quality Plans at any manufacturing site. This is important insight to have as it can allow for the prevention of product contamination as well as allow for the troubleshooting and halting of any on-going contamination events associated with poor air quality due to microbial presence, first indicated by spoiled packages.
When considering air quality at a production facility, one of the first steps to take is to assess what the quality is. This can be performed several different ways, dependent on available resources. The two most popular and easiest to perform are Sedimentation and Impactor systems. Sedimentation applies to the natural downward settling of air particles over time. A petri dish containing agar and a medium consisting of nutrients beneficial to the target (i.e. yeast, mold, bacteria) is prepared and then placed at a location within the production facility. Due to natural gravitational forces, as mentioned, air particles will settle onto the petri dish. The Sedimentation method is very economical and can be performed very easily as it only requires preparation and placement of opened petri dishes at predetermined sites. However, this method is passive and relies on the settling of particles which occurs at a different rate from one collection event to the next. Larger particles would, of course, settle faster and thus there is a systematic bias as well. Additionally, it is impossible to calibrate amongst all events as the volume of air and settled particles is not consistent from event to event. The Impactor system method is more precise but requires the purchase or rental of specialized equipment. The Impactor system employs a mechanical sampler that uses a jet or vacuum to draw in air streams at a known rate and thus volume. The air that is mechanically collected is then directly applied onto a petri dish within the Impactor system. This allows for the operator to normalize across sampling events and standardize as to how much air volume is collected, based on the jet or vacuum setting. There are drawbacks for this approach which include the purchasing or rental of an Impactor system, manually moving the apparatus and finding room for placement on the production floor and cleaning of the unit to remove any chance of re-contamination from prior events. Despite the pros and cons of the Sedimentation and Impactor systems, both allow for the gleaning of air quality data, specifically if microorganisms are present and at what concentration. Following collection, the petri dish samples are incubated and the concentration of the target microorganism is enumerated.
In addition to measuring and observing the presence of microorganisms, additional steps can and should be taken to further minimize the potential for product contamination. This includes, but is not limited to, two approaches. The first approach is the use and upkeep of a proper HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) and filtration system for the air moving throughout the plant. The HVAC system allows for the management of temperature and humidity within the production facility as well as air flow direction and pressurization. By controlling the temperature and humidity, microbial growth is mitigated as long as the temperature is kept lower than that considered ideal for most microorganisms. In controlling the humidity, moisture control is in place. To this end, by managing the humidity and air moisture, reaching the dew point can be prevented or lowered. The dew point is a value at which moisture condenses out of the air from a gaseous state to a liquid state, and onto a surface. A decrease in available moisture is related to microbial viability and growth. Additionally, a high air moisture level can affect measurement techniques as a more dense moisture state would alter collection. The second approach to managing further spread and contamination of product is the use of air pressure gradients. Such gradients will prevent cross-contamination between the raw ingredient area, production area, packaging and warehouse storage. A gradient is established due to the kinetics of a higher air pressure state flowing into a lower air pressure state without any bi-directional flow. In applying this, one can take advantage of air flow directions to have air flowing outward from the room where post-processed product is being packaged and sealed, and toward other areas of the plant. This approach utilizes a positive air pressure condition, where all ambient air flows out of the room without reintroduction other than at the point of filtration and entering. Furthermore, this air pressure condition can be utilized such that air from within the plant flows backwards through the process flow to the point of raw ingredient storage. The air pressures of rooms throughout the facility are a function of a properly operating HVAC system. This air gradient direction will mitigate the contamination of airborne microorganisms from the raw ingredient areas into finished product solely from the air. While keeping the positive air pressure in mind, it is also important to investigate any potential for negative air pressure states for the facility. This is more frequently observed in older facilities with a large number of exhaust fans or less than ideal placement of an exhaust unit. A negative air pressure state would allow for any ambient air from outside the area to flow into the plant from the outside, introducing air containing water, dust, microorganisms and other debris. Any time that un-filtered air is introduced into the production area without prior filtration, the chance for contamination is increased.
Overall, it is important to understand the state of air flow and quality within each production facility. In measuring, at predetermined frequencies, the QA/QC staff can maintain a pulse on the presence of yeast, mold, and bacteria that are airborne and translocating throughout the facility. Furthermore, by understanding the management and flow of the air, preventive measures can be put in place (i.e. air flow gradients) to minimize product contamination. By minimizing product contamination, the goal of providing a safe and high quality product to the consumer is attained without the presence of harmful microorganisms or microorganisms that could lead to spoilage.

Posted on 09/07/2010 4:13:44 PM PDT by nickcarraway
A billionaire has pledged to donate his entire fortune to charity after his death, becoming the first in China to do so.
Chen Guangbiao, chairman of Jiangsu Huangpu Renewable Resources Utilisation, took the decision to give up his mammoth wealth on a charity call made by Microsoft founder Bill Gates and investment baron Warren Buffett.
Chen said in an open letter to Gates and Buffett posted on his company website on Sunday that he would donate his entire fortune of more than five billion yuan ($735 million) to charity when he dies, the China Daily reported Tuesday.
Since they launched the 'Giving Pledge Campaign' in June this year, Gates and Buffett have so far successfully convinced 40 US billionaires to donate at least half of their wealth, worth $125 billion, to charity.
Gates is also the founder of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
The duo are scheduled to travel to China in late September for a philanthropic gathering with the Chinese businessmen and industrialists. Fifty Chinese, including Chen, are reported to have received an invitation to a banquet during the pair's visit to Beijing on September 29.
In his letter, 42-year-old Chen said he was "greatly moved" by the duo's commitment to charity and "pleased to accept the invitation".
He said his decision to part with his fortune was intended to serve as a "gift" to the business magnates during their trip to China.
Chen's announcement has come amid the widespread belief that many of the Chinese billionaires who have been invited to the banquet are reluctant to accept the invitation out of concern over being lobbied to make charity promises.
Ye Lei, the Chinese director of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, last week denied the rumour that the duo aim to persuade Chinese billionaires to part with their fortunes.
What charity, specifically?
And I don’t think it can be called “parting with your wealth” if you keep it until you die.
I want Oprah to donate all her wealth. (to me)
Hey batta batta..
Why wait until they die?
A true charitable act would be to donate while still living and making some sacrifice in their own lives.
n't have pockets.
I don’t believe this.
Well, if you are Egyptian, you take your wealth, and cats, to the afterlife with you.
It's "charity" all righty, you betcha.
The parable of the rich fool?
That’s my pre-lookup guess - now I’ll go get the Bible.
Well, I was wrong ...
The “rich young man,” not “the rich fool,” although they both were foolish. “You fool, this night your soul will be required of you, and the things you have, whose will they be?”
Not that leaving your wealth to charity when you die is a bad thing, but it’s not Christian love. God could provide for everyone’s needs; charity is as much about our being willing to give, to the point that it affects us, as it is about the needs of the recipients.
That’s a hard question, actually. I like my catz, but do I really want them in the afterlife? They’re kind of a nuisance, especially when they hop on the baby while he’s asleep and yell “Meow!” in his ear.
. . .
Chen said in an open letter to Gates and Buffett posted on his company website on Sunday that he would donate his entire fortune of more than five billion yuan ($735 million) to charity when he dies
I'm shocked - you mean that you can join the billionaires' club if you only have $735 million?
What happened to "standards"?
Maybe he's a billionaire in yuan, but that's hardly the same. I'm easily a billionaire in nanodollars...
Many of these people in the West would have to donate their funds into charitable trusts, anyway, to avoid taxes (think: The Ford Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, etc.)
The question then becomes, who will be appointed trustees to administer these large sums, and what will be their goals?
By giving away one’s wealth after death to charity, isn’t the act depriving one’s progeny of the benefit, thus making the act a sacrifice?
Methinks it is prideful shallowness to look for faults in others’ acts of generosity.
How would you like to donate to the Human Fund?? Or the I want to be a Billionaire fund??? LOL

I am wondering if there is a design pattern for such problem:
Let's say we are building a web shop for a doors and windows manufacturer, where customer has a catalog (list) of products, from which he can choose some and customize them, before placing an order.
Each product has it's properties defined, like name, price, description. Obviously, the customer is not allowed to change any of these properties. But there is a space to customize the product. When he chooses a window, then he can choose it's colour, dimensions, perhaps a color of glass and choose some additional features. When he chooses doors, then he can choose a color, dimension, but also a type of the lock.
First idea that came to my mind is:
- Create products definitions classes (WindowDefintion, DoorsDefinition), which hold information about the name, price, description. These are listed in a catalog
- Create product instances classes (Window, Doors), which hold reference to the product, but also add customizable fields, which are specific to certain instance.
Disadvantages are perhaps silly, because it is mostly about creating a definition class for each instance class, but this involves more doubled amount of database tables and repositiories as well. I was just wondering if there is some other solution?
This example is not the case. I am using it to ease understanding of the problem. In the case, products don't have a good common generalization, which a Product would give in this case (good for having name, description and price properties).

MANCHESTER United survived a scare to overcome Stoke City and maintain their place in the Premier League’s top four on a largely difficult night for London clubs.
Goals from midfielders Marouane Fellaini and Juan Mata earned United a 2-1 win – their fourth victory in succession – despite Steven Nzonzi briefly equalising.
They had to hang on in the closing stages, however, as goalkeeper David de Gea and then emergency full-back Ashley Young thwarted former United striker Mame Biram Diouf.
The result kept Louis van Gaal’s charges a point in front of West Ham, the only of the capital’s sides to claim victory last night.
QPR’s miserable away form continued as they failed to pick up their first points on the road in a 2-0 defeat at Swansea.
Rangers held out until 12 minutes from time when midfielder Ki Sung-Yeung’s strike put the home side ahead. Former Hoops winger Wayne Routledge made the points safe and nudged QPR down to 19th with a long-range effort as Swansea climbed to sixth.
Crystal Palace’s relegation worries also deepened as a toothless display condemned them to a 1-0 defeat at home to Aston Villa.
Belgium striker Christian Benteke’s solo goal – his first since March following an achilles injury – earned Villa their first win in 10 attempts.
Newcastle striker Papiss Cisse struck just after half-time to draw 1-1 at Burnley. The goal denied the Clarets, who led through George Boyd, a third win in four games.

Paving the way for cheaper medicines for children with ADHD
Campaign expected to help lower costs for families following research
For families with children diagnosed with ADHD, the first question usually is how and where they can get help if their loved one needs it. The number of Irish children presenting with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder is on the increase, but not due to a rise in the prevalence of the condition.
Associated stigma with ADHD down through the years and a failure by clinicians to properly diagnose it mean many children, some at this stage young adults, are only presenting with symptoms now.
Treating children early with medication can help any long term effects, contend clinicians. Nonetheless, a new study involving Professor Fiona McNicholas, Professor of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at UCD School of Medicine and consultant at Our Lady’s Hospital for Sick Children in Crumlin, throws light on the surprising fact that only a small amount of children are availing of free medication under a state-funded scheme. A public campaign is now needed to ensure there is a greater take up of the free ADHD medication to ensure better outcomes for children, especially as they approach adolescence. But changes must minimise cost implications for the state.
“We have reasonable data in that long term, effective treatment of ADHD has benefits in terms of a child not engaging in criminality or a child having a better educational outcome, having a better record of going to a job and maintaining a job, having fewer interpersonal difficulties, these are all the long term negative sequela of ADHD. “The sense is that those who have a treatment have a better outcome than those who have not been treated. The argument would be that you are swapping one cost for another”. The research looked at the discrepancies in entitlements of Irish children to free ADHD medication and how, after a decision by the Ombudsman, all children with ADHD can now avail of free medication. The study looked at the cost implications for the state and the implications of universal coverage under the long term illness (LTI) scheme for under 16s.
Professor McNicholas explained how, while it was internationally accepted that 5% of children had ADHD, that there was no concrete data on the numbers of children in Ireland who have the condition and are taking the medication. There was also a period of confusion in 2013 after negative public discussion around ADHD and a perception that some children were only entitled to such medication outside of the LTI scheme.
“That created a disparity and an inequity amongst families with a member who had the condition,” explained Professor McNicholas. The confusion was clarified by the Ombudsman who wrote to the Government and declared it was unsatisfactory that there was such inequity around the issue. The research group accessed data on those drawing down medication under the scheme. It discovered that the number of children with ADHD taking medication on the LTI scheme was “very small”.
In fact, €107,894 (4.4%) of the €2.4m the state spent on ADHD medicines was under the LTI scheme in 2011. But this study concludes that, given demand and applications for free ADHD medicines, this is likely to rise significantly now under the LTI scheme. There could now be a €8.4m bill for ADHD medicines, based on current prescribing patterns.
But why has there been such a limited take up by families under the scheme to date? “Given there was confusion and a wish to remove ADHD, it is understandable how clinicians filling in forms may have been influenced by what their old managers on health boards were saying,” added Professor McNicholas. Professor McNicholas, has said that a campaign is needed to ensure the take up of ADHD medication increases. “In addition, there’s certainly stigma around mental health problems and even pursuing free medication. For some families, they already feel blamed for their children’s misbehaviour and feel unentitled to free medication,” she explained
“The reality going forward is medication costs shouldn’t be a barrier to effective treatment.”
GPs will help destigmatise ADHD and will be trained to do so while campaign groups have also been contacted. Clinicians are sufficiently aware of the costs of drugs and should be encouraged to consider prescribing less expensive drugs if equal efficacy is established. “The NHS [in Britain] have started to do on a larger scale where they are recommending and in some cases restricting stocking of medications to ones that are less expensive.” ADHD medication here on average now costs €100 a month per family for each child.
Professor McNicholas has also received EU funding for research into the transition between child and adult mental healthcare, including young people with ADHD.
The MILESTONE project gave €6m to eight countries, including €350,000 to Ireland. Professor McNicholas and Dr Lesley O’Hara of UCD School of Medicine are leading the research. This separate project aims to map the gap in child to adult services across Europe.
“There’s a huge gap of young people at the age of 18 needing mental health services but not actually going from one service to another. Children with ADHD and eating disorders are less likely to be referred,” concluded Professor McNicholas.
This story first appeared in the summer 2016 edition of UCD Today, the university magazine.

Jennifer Ashley’s New York Times bestselling Shifters Unbound series continues as a shifter and a human are faced with the unexpected, undeniable pull of a bond.
As the military liaison between the human Shifter Bureau and Shiftertown, Walker is often stuck trying to appease both sides—and angering both. So when bear-Shifter Rebecca is captured taking a run in a restricted area, Walker comes up with a compromise: if Rebecca helps him find a missing woman—thought to have been abducted by a Shifter—she won’t be charged and executed.
As a bear used to roaming for miles, Rebecca hates being confined, distrusts anything involving humans, and—worst of all—the strong and handsome Walker starts triggering her mating need. They have no choice but to work together but both Walker and Rebecca find it hard not to mix business with pleasure…
I really enjoy this series, who doesn’t love a good shifter story? This is novella length book about Walker Danielson (Human, military liaison between the human Shifter Bureau and Shiftertown) and Rebecca (an alpha bear-shifter). Both the characters have been previously part of the other books in the series as secondary characters. Though it’s a novella we get to see their relationship develop and learn more about them as characters. I really liked them both, they were both head strong if a little stubborn at times but they respected and cared about each other . They also had great chemistry and really enjoyed teasing/annoying each other. I think it’s pretty difficult to write the story between a female who is an alpha and a shifter and the male is human and do both characters justice. Ms. Ashley did a good job on that front without making their relationship look unbalanced and the characters, jerks. The book also introduced a newer plotline to the series which I’m forward to read more about.
I think the book can work as a standalone but we do some of their earlier interactions in the other books which made me look forward to this book. It may not be my personal favourite novella in the series but it was a good edition to the series. Happy Reading!

After she journeyed from northern Finland to Greenland, Iida was assigned to a case study called Erfalik Lodge. The lodge was located two hours by boat from Sisimiut, and typical guests are luxury tourists who visit for the fly-fishing grounds nearby. The aims of the case study were to examine the sanitation system, improve the greywater treatment, and evaluate the potential for renewable energy on-site.
Here is her account of the case study and the implications for her future work in Finland:
Visiting Erfalik Lodge helped us see the requirements and limitations of the location. The on-site visit also helped us find local materials that can be used to address these issues. We were able to spend the night at Erfalik Lodge, and we had the opportunity to interview employees and owners to understand their views on different problems. This also allowed us to map out what kind of methods they have already tried and what kind of solutions they expect from us.
The lectures we listened to before and during the trip helped us understand how the Arctic must consider different factors in the planning phase than elsewhere in Europe. In the Arctic, permafrost is quite close to the surface, and this permafrost makes it difficult to implement many underground structures. The climate is very cold and the winter season is long, which should be taken into account when planning different options.
This experience gave me a lot of good lessons that I can also apply in Finland. Even though it is not as cold in Finland and permafrost is not a limiting factor in construction, there is still frost here in winter and the temperature can drop very low. In addition, there are many isolated cottages in Finland that are not connected to the municipal water supply network.
The summer course in Sisimiut was an unforgettable and valuable experience that I will remember for the rest of my life. It was fortunate to meet so many amazing people and hear their views and experiences from all over the world. The whole course was organized really well and networking was made easy.
