The static rigidity of a rotating spindle in the radial direction is investigated in this research. A magnetic loading device (magnet loader) has been developed for the measurement. The magnet loader, which has coils and iron cores, generates the electromagnetic force and attracts a dummy tool attached to the spindle. However, the eddy current is generated in the dummy tool with the spindle rotation and reduces the attractive force at high spindle speed. In order to understand the magnetic flux and eddy current in the dummy tool, the electromagnetic field analysis by FEM was carried out. Grooves on the attraction surface of the dummy tool were designed to cut the eddy current flow. The dimension of the groove were decided based on the FEM analysis, and the designed tool were manufactured and tested. The test result shows that the designed tool successfully reduces the eddy current and recovers the attractive force. By using the magnet loader and the grooved tool, the spindle rigidity can be measured when the spindle rotates with a speed up to 10,000 min-1.

The inaugural basketball camp at the West Broad Street YMCA with former Harlem Globetrotters Larry “Gator” Rivers, Tyrone “Hollywood” Brown, and Wayne “AB” Clark was a huge success!
Over the three days nearly 55 kids got to learn the basic skills of the game while learning about how to work with others, play well, and love themselves.
“I have been doing this for years and it only gets better every time,” offers Gator. “Every generation of kids can learn through basketball.”
The camp ran from Monday, December 28 through Wednesday December 30. Kids came from all over Savannah and ranged in age from 5 to 15.
“This is the kind of thing we want happening here,” says Tony Welch, volunteer at the Y. “We are recruiting adults from our community to help with these kids.”
The West Broad Street YMCA is starting a series of basketball leagues in January for kids 3 and up, as well as for adults.

PAYING homage to their first official comedic production 10 years ago, comedic and entertainment agency, Goliath and Goliath launched their anniversary tour in July with a sold-out show at The Lyric Theatre in Johannesburg.
This weekend they will have their eyes set on the city of Gqeberha with performances on the September 2 and 3 at the Savoy Theatre.
Many years ago, the Goliaths developed “Awednesday”, a comedy night held the last Wednesday of every month.
It was their first comedy production to grow a cult following. Soon after at a car wash in Florida Johannesburg, ‘Goliath and Goliath’ was born.
Jason, his brother Nicholas, and his sister, Kate, have since created a renowned brand which provides stand-up comedy and corporate entertainment.
The Goliaths have formed a multi-award-winning agency and are pioneers in the comedic space who work with multinational brands, local and international producers and talent.
“COVID–19 directly affected our industry, our business, and the careers of the Goliath comedic trio. As an SME, we feel blessed that we can celebrate 10 years and spread happiness in its purest form, bringing stand-up comedy to a live audience,” said Kate.
The Goliath Tour in Gqeberha on Friday, September 2, at the Savoy Theatre, will feature Jason, Nicholas, Emilio Thobias and Niven Spence while the show on Saturday, September 3, will include Jason, Nicholas, Emilio and Roland Gaspar.
Tickets for the shows are R150 and are available on Webtickets.

Massage therapy has evolved from a perceived luxury to a useful and even crucial part of the treatment of disease, from the hospital to the training room of athletes. Until the last ten years, there was no conclusive evidence that massage actually had a positive effect on athletes. However, thanks to new studies and support from reputable sources, the benefits of massage are being taken seriously. And its benefits are not just for professionals. They extend to anyone who participates in a regular exercise program.
According to the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA), massage can improve performance, reduce pain, prevent injury, encourage concentration, and shorten recovery time. It basically involves two types of responses: a mechanical response resulting from pressure and movement and a reflex response where the nerves respond to the stimulation of a massage.
You may not realize it, but massage has an effect on the cardiovascular system. It dilates blood vessels, which helps them work more efficiently to promote circulation. The manual aid that favors the return of venous blood to the heart improves blood flow, which brings fresh oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and energizes the elimination of waste and toxins. Thanks to the state of relaxation in which you find yourself during and after the massage, your heart rate lowers.
The benefits of massage on the muscular system are more known and expected. One of them is directly related to cardiovascular benefits. Increased and improved blood circulation helps relieve muscle tension, reduce soreness and allow for faster recovery.
Then, relaxed muscles may experience “an increase in range of motion and flexibility,” as explained in a study published in the Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness. Both of these benefits can lead to better athletic performance. In short, massage can help relieve pain, strengthen muscles and promote recovery. Not only is the massage pleasant for the muscle tissues, but it is also beneficial for them.
The sports massage study published in the Journal of Sports Medicine and Physical Fitness points out that athleticism, especially the athleticism required in competitive sports, is not based solely on physical strength.
Tactical maneuvers in cycling or the ability to concentrate on a task (for example, in gymnastics or golf) can also affect performance. Therefore, the psychological effect provided to an athlete by an experience such as massage may be non-physiologically significant. These benefits include reducing stress, tension and anxiety while supporting relaxation by activating the parasympathetic nervous system.
So you get an increase in dopamine and serotonin levels and a reduction in cortisol levels, which are directly related to stress. This state of relaxation and reduced tension promotes concentration, a good thing to have before embarking on a sport, a group exercise class or a competition.
Types of massage for athletes.
As a sportsman or athlete, you will benefit more from a deep massage or sports massage than from a gentle, smelly massage at a spa. However, these types of massage are not always comfortable.
A sports massage often involves a quick massage, stretching, and other approaches, depending on the sport you play. It can be adapted to be used as a pre-workout stretch and opportunity to warm up muscles or used as a post-workout massage designed to reduce soreness and increase flexibility.
Deep tissue massage is commonly suggested by massage therapists because it addresses particular issues you may have, by applying greater pressure to layers of muscle and other deep tissues. Do not expect to be comfortable throughout this massage. It is designed to bring out knots and tension that muscles may be holding. But be ready. Due to the focus on soft tissue pain, either of these types of massage can cause you pain.

Our workshop was established in 1993. For the whole period of company activities over 200 original facilities have been successfully designed and constructed. At the present day we possess both knowledge and huge design experience.
Special place in our work is occupied by designing for private customers
A project of a private country house or interior is always one of the most difficult and interesting tasks for the architecture. Jointly with the customer we live through the idea or concept birth till final implementation of the object. When designing we think about personality of the customer, economics, culture, structures.
As there are not similar people so our projects developed for the particular person are strictly individual and reflect exactly definite set of customer’s wishes. The house project for us is not a slit of drawings but a living body developing through the whole way from a sketch till construction completion when the customer can say confidently: "I am at home!”.
We do not confine ourselves to design of country houses, interior is not less interesting and exciting part of our work, Interior design is always a theater, the theater of two actors - an architect and a customer.
We love our profession and activities in which we engaged. For implementation of our tasks we learn, improve our knowledge and skills and try to be in touch with innovations in the furniture trade, in the world of construction and furnishing materials.
Main principle of work of our workshop – there are no boring orders!

Freshman linebacker Tyre Smith burst from the left side and sprinted at Dubuque quarterback Ben Gultig. No one touched Smith until he was on Gultig. On the other side, fifth-year linebacker Dane Flatter had a similar path to the quarterback and jumped with both arms in the air as Gultig pumped his arm to pass before bringing the ball down.
If Smith hadn’t reached Gultig first, Flatter would have tackled him. As it was, the freshman made a play that will be remembered for the rest of his career, clinching a 28-27 victory on the road in Week 1 on the sack with 42 seconds to play.
“To make that play to win it and finish the game was huge,” coach Jim Collins said Tuesday. “He was so happy to make that play.”
Smith bounced off the field with long strides before celebrating with his teammates on the sideline in Iowa. The sack resulted in a loss of 11 yards. Wittenberg’s offense took over and knelt on the ball. Seconds earlier, another first-time starter, quarterback Max Milton, was watching nervously.
“My heart was beating out of my chest,” Milton said. “(Smith’s) been a stud for us all camp and been a contributor really early.”
Wittenberg trailed 14-0, 21-7 and 27-14. A blocked extra point by Mario Getaw, a junior linebacker, after Dubuque’s fourth touchdown proved to be the difference when Bryce Anderson scored two fourth-quarter touchdowns. He ran for a 1-yard score with 10:52 to play and caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Milton with 2:57 remaining.
On the go-ahead touchdown, Milton rolled right and was under pressure when he found Anderson also breaking right. Anderson bulled into a defender at the goal line to score on 4th-and-3.
Milton completed 26 of 38 passes for 275 yards with one touchdown and one interception.
“To say that it’s what I expected is going to sound a little overconfident,” Collins said, “but there’s a reason he won the job in preseason camp. He did a great job of just distributing the football to the right guys. He got the football there on time and accurately. He did a good job in pressure moments when we got into some situations, especially on fourth down on the 5-yard line there at the end. When he had to make a play, he made it, so it was good to see him have that type of a start to the season.”
Milton is from Carmel, Ind., and had not started a game since his senior year at the Heritage Christian School in Indianapolis.
“It was awesome,” Milton said. “It was a quality win on the road against Dubuque. Opening games are always kind of interesting. You don’t know a ton about the team. Dubuque’s not a super familiar opponent. But I think it spoke to the leadership we have on the team, being able to come back from 14 points down and finding a way to win in the fourth quarter.”
Milton’s top target was Dean Tate, a fifth-year senior from Indianapolis who caught 13 passes for 186 yards. He joins Corey Stump, Zach Culvahouse and Luke Landis on the list of Wittenberg players who have caught 13 or more passes in a game. Stump set the school single-game record of 16 catches in 2015 against Hiram.
Tate played the last three seasons at Ball State and caught three passes for 19 yards in seven games last season. Collins said Courtney Burchett, an associate director of admission, knew Tate when he was in high school, and when Tate put out word that he wanted to play another season, he visited the football offices at Wittenberg. The coaches didn’t hesitate to offer him a spot on the roster.
“He had a good preseason,” Collins said, “but he took it to another level this past Saturday.”
Collins and Milton also credited the offensive line — Henry Birchwell, Ed Bolden, Isaac Grilliot, Andrew McFeeters and Wyatt Osterhage — for not giving up a sack.
“With four new starters, they did a really good job,” Collins said. “You can’t get that football out if you don’t protect the quarterback, They did a good job along with the running backs of protecting the quarterback all day.”
Before the sack by Smith to clinch the victory and the go-ahead touchdown pass by Milton, the play of the day belonged to senior Tyler May, who returned a punt 85 yards for a touchdown with 8:19 left in the third quarter, cutting Dubuque’s lead to 21-14. May broke a tackle just after fielding the punt, raced across the field and then got three key blocks on his way to the end zone.
“The interesting thing was that whole second and third quarter we were going into the wind and did not have great field position,” Collins said. “At that point in the game, we needed something big, and Tyler came up big as well as the whole unit because the whole unit did a great job of blocking.”
Wittenberg gets a week off before playing its second game. It faces Kenyon at 6 p.m. Sept. 16 at Edwards-Maurer Field in the first of eight North Coast Athletic Conference games. Kenyon lost 51-35 at Bluffton on Saturday.
The top five teams in the NCAC preseason poll — DePauw, Wabash, Denison, Ohio Wesleyan and Wittenberg — all won on the road in Week 1.
“It was a good week overall for the North Coast,” Collins said. “We know every week is going to be the type of week where you’ve got to play well. If you don’t play well, you’re going to put yourself behind the eight ball. So we’ve got to keep working and keep getting better and keep developing.”

It’s been awhile. Been doing stuff. Going to write about that too. Sometime. But not now. This post will be about the place in Sri Lanka where I’ve spent so much time, lived in so many places, and taken so many photos of. Mirissa.
Mirissa has both a good and bad effect on me. Or maybe they’re both good, it’s beautiful which I see and I get creatively stimulated by that beauty. What I might consider being a bad influence on me is whenever I get here, I tend to stay, I stop moving and stop wanting to go to the next place. But considering it’s me I’m talking about, that might be a really good thing.
Since I’ve spent so much time here people know me. And when you’re traveling by yourself, like I do, it’s nice when people recognises you at the pharmacy and at the supermarket, you do some catching up on what’s been happening lately and it feels a bit like home.
Another good thing about Mirissa is that there’s great food here! Both at restaurants and in the shops. I mostly eat vegetarian food which I find not to be a problem here, no matter what kind of restaurant I go to there’s a good vegetarian option. You see, I grew up in the forest in the north of Sweden so I have no idea of what to do with seafood and when I spent every winter in India doing yoga I was a vegetarian for eight years.
What surprised me, and made me happy, when I returned to Mirissa is that it looks better than when I left sometime in February 2020. Because yes, the pandemic and lack of tourists has had a visible toll on many places here in Sri Lanka, but that’s not apparent here. Mirissa is actually looking better in many ways, restaurants, shops and hotels have been renovated and developed, not all of course but I can notice the difference.
Oh, and these photos sort of have nothing, or everything, to do with the text. Took them this morning at Parrot Rock which is one of the three surf spots that are within walking distance if you stay here.
So yes; Mirissa I like you and you look better than ever!

The traffic commissioner (TC) for Scotland has refused to grant a licence to a Johnstone operator after finding that a man implicated in a BBC documentary over illegal waste disposal was probably running the business.
PHR Grab Hire was already running on interim authority, but it had applied for a standard international licence. At a Glasgow public inquiry (PI) to consider the application, TC Claire Gilmore heard evidence from the sole director and transport manager
He said he had started the business and he drove a grab hire lorry undertaking utilities work.
McNaught also admitted that his uncle, Eric Morrison snr, was more involved in the business than he had previously suggested.
Morrison had been in a TV programme about waste crime and it involved the Rannoch Road site where the applicant’s operating centre was.
In her written decision, the TC said: “Eric Morrison snr had been filmed in the documentary wearing clothing bearing a ‘PHR Services’ logo and that logo had also been seen elsewhere on-site.
“There were several documents contained in the brief and lodged for the inquiry – including email correspondence about the PHR Grab Hire application and a copy of the company’s headed notepaper – which bore Eric Morrison’s name.”
McNaught said he was supporting his uncle and aunt financially and that invoices for ‘rent’ lodged as part of the PI amounted to financial support for them.
However, the TC said: “It was put to Mr McNaught that the vehicles which had been specified on his licence belonged to Eric Morrison snr; the operating centre was owned by Eric Morrison snr; he was paying significant sums to Eric Morrison snr for the use of the operating centre; Eric Morrison snr carried out, and was paid for, the inspections on the vehicles; and most of the correspondence before me relating to the business had Eric Morrison’s contact details on it.
“Mr McNaught denied that Eric Morrison snr had any involvement in running his business. He conceded, however, that it may look that way, considering the evidence.”
The TC concluded that McNaught’s evidence was implausible and unreliable, and as the firm had also failed to maintain the appropriate financial standing, she refused the application.

The Declaration was signed at the end of a ministerial round table on the second and last day of the Seventy-third Regional Committee Session, hosted by Thailand, and held virtually for the first time due to COVID-19 Pandemic. During the round table, inputs were taken from all the countries on the maintenance of the healthcare amenities in the respective countries and the measures taken for those who were impacted by the Pandemic.
All the countries agreed on the significance to maintain public healthcare facilities and primary health care as a non-negotiable requirement to be established. And it shouldn’t be limited to the affected people of the Pandemic, including even the most vulnerable strata of the population.
WHO Director-General Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Thursday,
“The spread of COVID-19 has impacted almost every community, overwhelmed health systems and disrupted economies and livelihoods with effects reaching far beyond the health sector. It has also disproportionately impacted the most vulnerable. WHO recently surveyed countries to understand better the priorities in the South East Asia Region. At the top of the agenda is maintaining essential health services.”
The Declaration was titled, ‘Collective Response to COVID-19’ and on signing it, WHO South-East Asia Region, Dr Poonam Khetrapal Singh, said
“People’s ordinary health needs do not disappear during such extraordinary events. Health security is not only about building capacity to prevent, prepare for and respond to acute events. It must also be about building capacity to maintain essential health services for the duration of response and into the recovery.”
The Declaration has embarked upon efforts from the countries to sustain essential health services and public health programs during public health emergencies. It has also emphasized the need to strengthen the healthcare system of the respective countries in the face of the Pandemic.
The Countries also agreed to allocate adequate budgets to ensure health as the top priority during and beyond the Pandemic.
Some of the key pointers the countries agreed upon are as follows:
- The need to strengthen digital technologies that capture and show the adequate coverage of outbreaks and share the information for policymaking.
- To ensure occupational health, safety, and well-being of health professionals and other related workers.
- Strengthening the safety of patients and the people through adequate public health and social measures and access to quality personal protective devices.
- Strengthening occupational and environmental safety through medical waste management systems.
- Also, efforts to be put in making biomedical and systems research stronger.
- Need to continue and expand multi-sectoral collaboration
- To strengthen regional collaboration for scaling up capacities for preparedness, surveillance and rapid response, field epidemiology training, supply chain management of medicines and medical supplies
- Also, to focus on regional stockpiling of essential health resources.
Speaking to Health Ministers of the 11 Member States, Dr Khetrapal Singh said, “Continued efforts should be made to keep health workers safe from infection and violence and to provide mental health and psychosocial support.”
“All people, all sectors, all countries and all partners must come together to strengthen the response and build a recovery and future that is more health secure, and in which all people’s health needs are met as a precondition to achieving the sustainable development to which we strive.”
It has become increasingly significant in the light of the Pandemic to become united and strengthen the healthcare amenities to put up a good fight for the disease. It is important that in every country, the health system is given priority and is made accessible to every individual. That’s why the South-East nation members of WHO came together to sign the Declaration as a positive step forward.

Christina Karamperidou, SOEST associate professor of atmospheric sciences, was honored with an Early Career Scientist Award by the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG). Awardees are selected for their outstanding research in Earth and space sciences and for their international research cooperation.
As in the award citation, Karamperidou was chosen by an international committee for her “significant contributions to understanding El Niño spatiotemporal diversity and associated impacts, from paleoclimate to modern times through multidisciplinary international collaborations.”
Karamperidou’s research aims to reveal dynamics of past, present and future climate. She and her research team use climate models—from simple theoretical models to comprehensive Earth System Models—and leverage advanced statistics and machine learning techniques to model and understand the dynamics of climate and its impact on weather risk around the world.
Specifically, she focuses on ENSO dynamics and predictability, extreme events in response to large-scale climate variability and change, paleoclimate modeling, and machine learning applications in environmental science and climate model optimization.
“I am deeply honored for this recognition, and grateful to the nominators, the award committee, and my colleagues and students for their collaboration,” said Karamperidou. “Climate variability in the tropical Pacific, with El Niño being its primary phenomenon, is a major driver of hydroclimate extremes globally, yet many uncertainties still surround its response to climate change. Interdisciplinary research and international collaborations bring together the expertise that is necessary to make significant progress in reducing these uncertainties, and this award recognizes this.”
The IUGG Early Career Scientist Awards 2023 will be formally presented during the Award Ceremony of the IUGG General Assembly 2023 in Berlin, Germany. The IUGG Scientific Program Committee will provide a travel award to the Assembly where Karamperidou has been invited to give a talk about her research.

Title found at these libraries:
Whether Sigmund Freud's theory precludes serious engagement with psychoanalytic theory for those professing faith in the God of the Judeo-Christian tradition has been controversial for years. Coming to terms with Freud's theory has proved difficult for religious believers because of his stance that religious faith is little more than psychological projection. Building on the work of philosopher and theologian Paul Ricoeur, psychoanalyst Ana-Maria Rizzuto, and feminist theorist Judith Van Herik, author Kirk A. Bingaman demonstrates that it is possible and even advantageous for believers to hold their religious faith in dialectical tension with psychoanalysis. Bingaman shows how Freud's critique of religion can enrich and strengthen, rather than destroy, the faith of the believer. What emerges from the author's argument is a creative method for living within the emotional and spiritual tension that develops whenever our belief system is challenged or disrupted.

Homophobic hate crime on the rise across Cambridgeshire as charity warn it is “tip of the iceberg”
- Credit: Archant
There were 85 incidents of homophobic hate crime reported to Cambridgeshire Police in 2016-17, however a charity has warned this is “the tip of an iceberg”.
The latest Home Office figures show the number of hate crimes recorded by the police during the 2016-17 financial year.
In Cambridgeshire there were 85 incidents where gay, lesbian or bisexual people were abused or attacked due to their identity, rising from 43 in 2015-16.
However the charity Stonewall, which campaigns on LGBT+ issues, believes this is just a fraction of the true number of homosexual people who have experienced hate crime.
A Stonewall spokeswoman said: “These worrying statistics are a wake-up call.
You may also want to watch:
“It’s 2018 – lesbian, gay, bi and trans people should feel safe and no one should face hatred simply because of who they are.
“Sadly, the reality is very different. And while some people may suggest this spike is due to increased confidence in reporting, we fear these figures represent just the tip of the iceberg of a rise in hate crimes against LGBT people.”
- 1 Lucky Cambridgeshire neighbours win People's Postcode Lottery
- 2 Drug dealer racially abused police officer
- 3 Person cut out of car after two-vehicle crash
- 4 Crews tackle huge Fens blaze
- 5 Woman has heart attack and dies in ambulance waiting for a hospital bed
- 6 Piled wall will resolve major King's Dyke crossing obstacle
- 7 Photographer, Eleanor, wins highly regarded award
- 8 Tonight's 24 Hours in Police Custody follows brutal Cambridgeshire murder
- 9 Crash driver flees leaving female passenger injured
- 10 'I think I hurt him bad mum' says Murder on the Doorstep killer
The Home Office figures show that over the same period there were 11 incidents of transgender hate crime reported to Cambridgeshire Police.
Stonewall’s spokeswoman commented that according to its research “four in five anti-LGBT hate crimes go unreported, with younger people particularly reluctant to go to the police”.
The research, by YouGov, also shows that trans people are more than twice as likely as to experience hate crime than other members of the LGBT+ community, meaning these figures could be vastly under representative.
The spokeswoman added: “These statistics are the real life consequence of a society where transphobia is everywhere – from the front pages of newspapers, to the gates of the school yard.
“Stonewall works with police services across Britain to ensure all LGBT people feel more confident and comfortable reporting abuse.
“It’s vital we improve confidence in the way the criminal justice system deals with LGBT hate crime.”
The Home Office said in its report that it believes LGBT+ hate crime rises are due to improved reporting, and do not necessarily show genuine increases.
Overall police recorded hate crime increased by 77 per cent in 2016-17, with the vast majority of the incidents classified as racism.

The Telegraph warned last week that Russia may invade the Baltic states. The article, “Putin Could Attack Baltic States Warns Former NATO Chief” detailed Russian President Vladimir Putin’s desire to reach beyond Ukraine into the Baltic states to test the West’s resolve in upholding Article 5 of the nato agreement.
Article 5 states that an attack on one nato member is an attack on all nato members. nato members are bound to collectively respond to the threat. So far, the only time Article 5 has been enacted was following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attack. Had Ukraine been part of nato when attacked last year, all of nato would have been expected to respond with force against Russia. Continue reading

DAUPHIN AND PERRY COUNTIES, Pa. (WHTM) — PennDOT has announced that ramp closures are scheduled for Route 22/322 in Perry County as well as on Route 11/15 in Dauphin County.
PennDOT states that weather permitting, the ramp from Route 11/15 southbound and Route 22/322 eastbound, and the ramp from Route 22/322 eastbound to Route 11/15 southbound will be closed beginning on May 1. This is due to a resurfacing project.
The following detours will be put in place, as quoted in the release from PennDOT:
- Southbound Route 11/15 to eastbound Route 22/322 traffic should take westbound Route 22/322 (Lewistown) to access eastbound Route 22/322 from the Watts Interchange.
- Eastbound Route 22/322 to southbound Route 11/15 traffic should take the off-ramp to Route 11/15 (Selinsgrove/Camp Hill) then keep right to northbound Route 11/15 (Amity Hall), then continue to the ramp to southbound Route 11/15.
The closures are expected to remain in effect until the end of June, so the ramps can be reconstructed. Also included in the project is resurfacing of eastbound and westbound Route 22/322 in Greenwood Township and Millerstown Borough in Perry County. PennDOT says this work extends from the Juniata County line to Owl Hollow Road.
According to PennDOT, work in Dauphin County includes resurfacing on Route 11/15 from the Juniata River bridge to the Perry County line and reconstruction of the eastbound Route 22/322 ramp to southbound Route 11/15, and the southbound Route 11/15 ramp eastbound Route 22/322 in Dauphin County.
Alternating lane restrictions will be in place. PennDOT states there will be no restrictions in place during major holidays and fall Penn State home football games. All ramp work will require closures and detours. Advance notice will be issued before the closures.
Below is a map of where the work will be taking place.

Posted on 02/06/2008 1:17:35 AM PST by neverdem
Researchers have found a correlation between drinking diet soda and metabolic syndrome the collection of risk factors for cardiovascular disease and diabetes that include abdominal obesity, high cholesterol and blood glucose levels and elevated blood pressure.
The scientists gathered dietary information on more than 9,500 men and women ages 45 to 64 and tracked their health for nine years.
But the one-third who ate the most fried food increased their risk by 25 percent compared with the one-third who ate the least, and surprisingly, the risk of developing metabolic syndrome was 34 percent higher among those who drank one can of diet soda a day compared with those who drank none.
This is interesting, said Lyn M. Steffen, an associate professor of epidemiology at the University of Minnesota and a co-author of the paper, which was posted online in the journal Circulation on Jan. 22. Why is it happening? Is it some kind of chemical in the diet soda, or something about the behavior of diet soda drinkers?
(Excerpt) Read more at nytimes.com ...
BTW, a symptom is what a patient complains about. A sign is found from exmaination. Metabolic Syndrome, aka Syndrome X, is defined by labatory and physical testing.
You only drink diet coke if you are fat.
That’s why it’s linked.
I know what I am talking about.
Now where's that shot glass...
I drink diet Coke and I'm not fat, nor did I start drinking it for that reason. I don't like the sugary taste of regular cola.
I have refused ALL “diet” sodas, but I LIKE coke “zero”.
Call me a shill, or what you will. I LIKE Coke Zero, which is far more than I can say FOR what is called “Coke” up here where LEGAL folk pay their OWN way.
Correlation does not equal causation.
I agree it is very possible that people who tend drink diet sodas tend to be people who are overweight and watching their weight.
I like Code Red Mountain Dew.
Doctores and statistics are a very special combination producing the strangest flowers....
...and it’s the tabloids making them bloom.
I’ve weighed a lot and I’ve weighed a little but the one constant in my diet has been what some people claim is an excessive amount of Diet Pepsi.
I have found however that if I watch what I eat and move around a little, I tend to be smaller. It’s just not as much fun.
If I use a sweetner, I use sugar - no chemicals for me, thank you.
“You only drink diet coke if you are fat.”
I have noticed that too. It seems to be without exception.
The person fills his/her face with masses of food but has an order of diet coke on the side.
Yup. Like the diet coke is the thing that’s going to save them from piling on the pounds.
Everything is moderation. A conflicting report on this will be out next month...I’m sick of these so called researchers and their stupid findings. I don’t believe any of it anymore.....
Me too! I love Coke in the little bottle, especially at Christmastime with Santa on it.
In the book “Natural Cures They Don’t Want You To Know About,” the author says that diet drinks are known as liquid crack because of all the chemicals that are used. Also, Aspertame is an “autotoxin” like MSG. He also says that you’re better off drinking the real thing with sugar than the diet drink because diet drinks cause the body to hold on to fat.
I used to drink four cans of soda a day. For the past 8 months, it’s pretty much been H2O for me, and I’ve never felt better.
Sodas are poison, diet or regular.
If you can find anything with real sugar.... High Fructose Corn Syrup has replaced can sugar in nearly every soda and premade food anymore... I personally thing HFCS is responsible for all the health problems and obesity we are seeing more than anything else.
Its the single biggest dietary change that americans have undergone in the last few decades, its replaced real sugar in everything.
I drink Diet Coke and I'm not fat, just pleasingly plump.

These are what we call the 'YMMV items.' Things that some people find in this work. We call them 'your mileage might vary' because not everyone sees these things in the same way. This starts discussions in the trope lists, a thing we don't want. Please use the discussion page if you'd like to discuss any of these items.
Alternative Character Interpretation: While Brainard himself seems to believe otherwise, it isn't too much of a leap to wonder if he might have a genuine undiagnosed memory disorder, especially considering the early scene where he's clearly having trouble recalling that he's even engaged, and that the rehearsal was the previous night.
Designated Hero: Professor Brainard is supposed to be "comically" absent-minded, but just comes off as a self-centered jerk.
Esoteric Happy Ending: The ending with Braniard attending wedding #4 from his lab by video proxy was supposed to be a cute, fitting end to the movie. Didn't quite work for many people.
Fridge Horror: Flubber is a sentient substance capable of flying without effort and of increasing in energy after bouncing. What is the definition of an Eldritch Abomination? According to TV Tropes: "The Eldritch Abomination is a type of creature defined by its disregard for the natural laws of the universe as we understand them."
Also, Brainard uses Flubber to make cars fly. This means that Flubber must be held in the vehicle for years, unable to do anything it wants to, with no socialisation.
Flubber is seen dancing around on the flying car in the last scene. he seems okay.
Fridge Logic: How Weebo can fly before Brainard invents the Flubber hover technology? And why wouldn't this work with cars?
Weebo in general create numerous problems because the technology is so fantastic. Not the least of which is that why, if the professor has basically created an emoting, flying AI with vast uses and abilities, does nobody think to sell her or her technology for the money to save the college? Naturally, the original film did not have this problem - Brainard just had a normal, non-talking dog that he tended to explain stuff to so the audience wouldn't think he just talked to himself for the hell of it.
Dr. Brainard forgot his own wedding three times (at least twice). Even if this was before the age of cell phones with schedule functions, he couldn't invent a wacky reminding machine? Or used a post-it note!? Sure Weebo kept sabotaging his attempts to keep schedule because she loved him, but you think he'd have had more important ways to remember the wedding. Or certainly he could have just made sure someone from the wedding party, like his best man or his parents (or her parents or his friends) just called him or...
Roger Ebert brings up this very topic in his review of the film. Though early in the film, Wilson openly states that he steals all of Brainard's creations and profits off of them, there's still a number of objects in his home that he clearly could have sold on his own (like Weebo!)
It's explained that Brainard has tried but can'treplicate the technology that created Weebo and is his only remaining creation, not stolen by Phillip's rival, Wilson. The only plans to a her, in the form of her "daughter", only appears in a video will after her "death". On the other hand, the idea that he could create life and never replicate it is hard enough to handwave with "Weebo hid it" when he presumably would have written things down by hand.
Informed Wrongness: Despite the fact that Phillip has just blown off a third wedding ceremony due to his absent-mindedness, the movie attempts to make it look like Dr. Reynolds' Tranquil Fury response - and subsequent breaking things off - to his half apology/half "But look at this cool thing I made" exhibition was an emotional overreaction.
Mis-blamed: Some of the particularly obnoxious plot elements, including abandoning Sara at the altar over and over, are carried over unaltered from the original film. Of course, one could still criticize this film for not fixing them in the first place.
Replacement Scrappy: The original film featured the Professor often talking to his non-sentient dog when he needed to infodump on the audience. The remake replaces the dog with Weebo. While she's not exactly a hated character, the existence of a sentient machine completely trumps the invention of Flubber if the audience thinks about it.
Squick: The entire subplot with Weebo's lust for the professor, progressing into creating a sexy female hologram so she can act out her emotions for him physically when he's asleep, and finally the admission at the end of the film that upon her death, she gave Brainard a copy of her design called "our daughter" - with modifications based on both Weebo and him. In case the analogy hasn't bludgeoned you hard enough, Weebo's final thought that allows Brainard to find the file? The word stork.

The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has called on the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to maintain vigilance in order to prevent future recurrences of Ebola virus outbreaks in the country.
The call came as the DR Congo declared an end to the Ebola epidemic crisis which ravaged the north-western Equateur Province since May 8.
In a statement, UNICEF commended the effective joint partner response coordinated by the DR Congolese Ministry of Health to treat the infected and stem the spread of the disease.
The organisation said its teams were deployed to the affected area with the specific mandate of protecting children from the direct and indirect impacts of the Ebola outbreak.
“In coordination with the Ministry of Health, World Health Organization and other partners, UNICEF centered its response on communication and community mobilization activities, water supply and hygiene promotion to prevent the spread of the disease, as well as the provision of psychosocial assistance to families affected by the epidemic.
“It is thanks to the cooperation of all the partners under the coordination of the Government of the DRC, that we’ve been successful in mobilizing communities to adopt behaviors and practices to contain the disease,” said Gianfranco Rotigliano, the UNICEF Representative in the DR Congo.
Rotigliano said the government and its health cluster partners should strengthen in-country disease surveillance systems to prevent future outbreaks. Communication and community engagement efforts were identified as essential to avoiding and controlling new epidemics .
With support from several donors, UNICEF mobilized US$10 million funds for the response to the DR Congo Ebola epidemic. According to the WHO, the just ended outbreak of the Ebola was the ninth to hit the country since the virus was first discovered in 1976.

In 2016, we published an article The ABCs of Snowmelting which stands as an introduction to the world of snow melting. It contains a wealth of information about the types of snow melting systems available and their installation details. We still receive calls daily asking us to clarify the difference between types of snow melting systems. To simplify the subject and help explain it even further, if you want radiant snow-melting you have two options: hydronic or electric.
Hydronic systems get their name from the fact that they use water, well a mixture of water and glycol, as the medium of heat transfer. A heat source, such as a boiler, warms the fluid to a predetermined temperature. A circulating pump will flow the fluid through the system which will consist of tubing, heat exchange panels, or both. The tubing or panels are installed beneath the paved surface. The energy from the warm fluid will transfer into the cooler paved surface and raise its temperature. If the surface is warm enough, the snow will melt and evaporate, or runoff into a drainage system.
Hydronic systems generally have higher first costs due to the mechanical system required for operation. However, they are much more efficient to operate compared to electric systems due to the cost of fuel which depends on the source of heat used. This makes them more suitable for larger areas where higher energy output is needed. Hydronic ThermaPANEL systems can also be used to collect solar energy creating a potential for system payback.
Electric cable systems are much simpler in terms of moving parts. Instead of water flowing through tubing or heat exchange panels, the heat is created from an electric current traveling through resistance cable. The electric current heats up the cable and the energy is transferred into the paved surface through bedding sand.
Electric systems have lower first costs. Electric cable mats can be rolled out and tied into the existing electrical system. Due to the higher cost of electrical energy compared to direct gas or oil these systems are generally much more expensive to operate. Because of this, electrical systems are not practical for large areas. Also, electric systems are much more prone to failure due to wire burnout or damage and are known to cause concrete spalling due to uneven heating.
Pedestal Paver Heating and Cooling
ThermaPANEL hydronic systems are specifically designed to heat and cool pedestal pavers in a variety of construction methods and applications. Recently, electric cable manufacturers have begun laying their cable systems in metal trays to heat pedestal-mounted pavers. These systems still have the advantage of first costs but are more expensive for long-term operation and larger areas. They also lack modularity and ease of repair and the ability to provide comfort cooling.
ThermaPANEL systems allow you easy access to the roof deck below, and the modular design means you get efficient heating and cooling where it’s needed, without sacrificing access to the roof below. ThermaPANEL systems can also cool the paver surface and provide thermal solar energy to heat a pool or spa.


ARISE AFRICA COMMENDS HOn DCN CHIKE OKAFOR AS HE FLAGS OFF FREE MEDICAL TREATMENT AND EMPOWERMENT PROGRAMME.
The Publisher of Arise Africa, Ikechukwu Anyanwu, has expressed satisfaction at the level of representation being pioneered by the member representing his people at Okigwe South Federal constituency in the House of Representatives, Hon Deacon Chike Okafor. He commended the lawmaker as the official flag off of Hon Dcn Okafor\’s free medical/empowerment outreaches and Constituency Briefing, held at Otoko Obowo LGA.
The Governor of Imo State was ably represented by the Secretary to the Government of Imo State Sir George Ezenna Eche, who also thanked the Hon member for what he described as people oriented programs and policies being anchored by him.
He said,if what is being witnessed here today is replicated by others, the State will be better for it.
According to the Imo number one citizen, the initiative to embark on a free medical outreach which is not the first of its kind by Hon Okafor,is a clear testimony to a collaborative effort by my government in improving on the health delivery system in the state which is encapsulated in the building of 27 general hospitals in the state and other primary health care centres,to mention but a few.
Furthermore, in his remark, he urged the youths to use the empowerment materials and equipments to better and advance their means of livelihood.
Earlier in his remarks, Hon Dcn Okafor thanked the Governor for his fatherly care and advice and for deeming it necessary to identify with him and his constituents at this momentous occasion. He said that he is only inspired by the Governor\’s philanthropic gestures and sees him as a role model per excellence.
He thanked his people for the unalloyed confidence and support which they reposed in and continue to give him. He said the health of his people is of great concern to him hence the annual outreach.
He beckoned on the State government to keep including his constituency in the scheme of things.
While also admonishing the youths to continue to support the government of the day in their bid to turn around things for good, he assured them of continued effective representation at the lower chambers of the National Assembly.
He distributed 31 number each of motorcycles, sowing machines,grinding machines etc to be giving to to winning beneficiaries from all the 31 electoral wards of the federal constituency,using the Owelle formula.
Dignitaries from all over the country were I attendance including the Wife of the Governor of Imo State Her Excellency Ugo Nneoma Dr Nkechinyere Rochas Okorocha,represented by the Hon Commissioner for Health Dr Mrs Angela Uwakwem,Hon Minister for Health Prof Isaac Folurunso Adewole,ably represented by the Chief Medical Director, Federal medical centre Owerri Dr Achigbu Kingsley and an array of Hon members from the National Assembly including top government functionaries,too numerous to mention.
Hon Deacon Chike Okafor is the house committee chairman on Primary Health Care Services amongst other committees where he is either a vice chairman or a member, in the House of Representatives,and of the APC extraction.
Congratulations for a successful flag off of this empowerment programme from all of us at Arise Africa

Share media safely
At the heart of social networking is the ability to send photographs and videos. Whether on Snapchat, Instagram or Facebook, our digital children are sharing moments from their lives on a daily basis.
Smartphones have put cameras into the pockets of our young people and, as Digital Parents, it is vital that we play our part in helping our children to use them safely.
For information about the different websites and apps that children and teenagers in Qatar are using to share media (information, images, videos etc.) with their friends, read our Digital Parents’ guide to social networks.
For the remainder of this page, we will take a brief look at some dos and don’ts for Digital Parents to help their children to share media safely. This list is not comprehensive, so refer to the rest of the AmanTECH website and other available resources for more detailed information.
The Vodafone AmanTECH media-sharing checklist for Digital Parents
...ask about the different social networking sites and apps your children are using, and the types of images and videos they are sharing online
…share your wisdom and experience; our digital children may be miles ahead when it comes to technology, but they are still learning about the way the rest of the world works
…find out together about the privacy settings which can limit who is able to view the media they share
…discuss the importance of managing their reputation; what goes online, stays online!
…be aware that social media can have a huge impact on young people’s self-image if they begin to compare themselves negatively to the images they see online
…assume that your children are risking everything online; many young people already have a good understanding of the importance of internet safety through school lessons and initiatives like Safe Space and AmanTECH
…allow discussions about sharing media online to become arguments; it is important that Digital Parents and children are able to talk openly and honestly about this issue, starting at an early age
…presume that parental controls and privacy settings are perfect; it is impossible to completely prevent images being shared more widely than originally intended
Finally, it may be worth making it a condition of your children having access to the internet that you be able to:
Have access to their digital devices’ passcodes
Check to see what they have looked at online by looking at their browser history
Follow their social networking posts yourself
If you do decide that the measures above might be necessary, make sure that you discuss it with your children first and explain the reasons why clearly and in detail.
Trust is a vital part of any Digital Parent’s role in guiding their children safely in the digital world. Put these conditions in place as soon as your children start to use the internet so that, over time, you are able to give your children more freedom as they grow in experience and maturity.


Low bonuses at UBS might be to blame for the firm's losing one of its top tech bankers to Evercore, the investment banking firm founded by Roger Altman.
The former head of software, internet, and enterprise and head of large-cap tech banking at UBS, Eric Mandl, was just hired to be a Senior Managing Director at Evercore.
The loss is a big one for UBS because Mandl works in the tech space, which banks have been fawning over recently because they're hot targets for IPOs.
And Mandl has worked on many tech deals, including acting as: an advisor to IBM on its acquisition of Netezza, financing advisor to Symantec on its inaugural investment grade bond, advisor to IBM on its purchase of iLog SA, advisor to Red Hat on its purchase of Qumranet, advisor to TeleLogic on its sale to IBM, advisor to KKR on its purchase of Flextronics Software Systems, financing advisor to GTCR on its purchase of the auto claims processing business out of ADP, and an advisor to IBM on its purchases of Daksh and PwC.
He's also a bit of a wonder-boy. At the famous Stuyvesant High School, a public school known for pumping out under-privileged math and science geniuses, Mandl stood out.
The editor of the Bio-Med Times was also considered one of the school's computer wizards. And in his spare time, he played a part in a school musical -- and did all of his homework.
His conscientious nighttime study habits impressed everyone:
"I have so many friends who don't have any homework at all," he told a newspaper in 1992.
Today Mandl still multi-tasks. In addition to his job, he's also on the acquisition committee of the Guggenheim, he's a Young Fellow at the Frick, and he's on the Met's Apollo Circle Benefits Committee.
And here's another reason UBS must be bummed to lose him to the stream of bankers flowing from Wall Street banks to smaller firms or hedge funds:
Apparently, he's super nice because he used to be a nerd.

Solar Eclipse 2020: When, where, how to watch 'ring of fire' live online
The solar eclipse would be visible in its annular form in different parts of India allowing stargazers to watch the 'ring of fire' for a minute
India will witness the year's first and the decade's last solar eclipse on SUnday June 21. The eclipse would be visible in its annular form in different parts of the country allowing stargazers to watch the 'ring of fire' for a minute, during the phenomenon. However, some parts of the country including Mumbai will be able to view the eclipse partially.
No, you don't want to miss the last annular #SolarEclipse in India, of this decade— PIB in Maharashtra ðÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ®ðÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ³ (@PIBMumbai) June 16, 2020
The day is ðÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ Sunday, 21st June
To better appreciate the beauty of the celestial phenomenon, do read the special issue of @VigyanPrasar's #Dream2047
What is an annular solar eclipse?
According to a statement by Debi Prasad Duari, the Director of the Kolkata's M P Birla Planetarium, the annular solar eclipse occurs when the sun, moon, and the Earth come in a straight line and almost on the same plane. "At that moment, the moon must be farther away from the Earth in its elliptical orbit and hence, cannot cover the disc of the sun completely, resulting in a narrow band of light around the dark silhouette of the moon, making the ring of fire visible," the statement said.
For the upcoming solar eclipse, the path of the annular solar eclipse will start near Gharsana in Rajasthan around 10:12 am and the phase of annularity will begin around 11:49 am and end at 11:50 am, the statement added.
The annular eclipse will first start from Congo in Africa and move through South Sudan, Ethiopia, Yemen, Oman, Saudi Arabia, the Indian Ocean and Pakistan, before entering India over Rajasthan. The eclipse will then progress towards Tibet, China and Taiwan, before ending at the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
Watch the Solar Eclipse live here:
What is a 'ring of fire'?
The 'ring of fire' is formed when the moon passes in front of the sun, not covering it completely but forming a brilliant ring effect or an annulus, known as the 'ring of fire'. However, Duari said in the statement that the ring of fire for this eclipse will not be as prominent this time as it was on December 26 last year and will be a little narrower.
Ready to witness Ring of Fire?— PIB in Maharashtra ðÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ®ðÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ³ (@PIBMumbai) June 16, 2020
India to witness Annular #SolarEclipse on 21 June 2020
This is the 2nd Solar Eclipse to be seen within 6 months; the earlier one occurred on 26 December 2019
Watch to know the annular path of the #Eclipse https://t.co/ft1CNvGqc2 pic.twitter.com/RggFC9eH9i
The ring of fire will be visible for a minute from places such as Suratgarh and Anupgarh in Rajasthan, Sirsa, Ratia, and Kurukshetra in Haryana, and Dehradun, Chamba, Chamoli, and Joshimath in Uttarakhand.
What is a partial solar eclipse?
A partial solar eclipse occurs when the sun, moon and the Earth does not align properly in a straight line. The phenomenon occurs when the moon moves to cover the sun but is able to cover only a part of the sun's disk, causing the moon to cast an outer part of its shadow on the Earth. From a much wider-region country like India, people can observe the partial solar eclipse of a different magnitude.
On June 21, the partial eclipse will begin in Mumbai from 10 am and end at 1:27 pm, in Kolkata from 10:46 am from 2:17 pm, from 10:20 am to 1:48 pm in New Delhi, from 10:22 am to 1:41 pm in Chennai and between 10.13 am and 1.31 pm in Bengaluru.
How to watch the solar eclipse?
You can go out and watch the partial solar eclipse live from your location with the necessary eye protection such as sun-filter glasses and eclipse glasses. If you want to catch up on the historic 'ring of fire' and the annular solar eclipse, you can watch it on NASA's tracker. As such events are also streamed online on YouTube, you can watch the solar eclipse on channels such as Timeanddate and Slooh.

Many of the WHL’s top players achieve success due in part to their versatility, as most forwards will take a shift from time to time at the center position. But for this article, we are ranking wingers in the Western Hockey League, based on those that have been drafted and/or signed by National Hockey League teams. Read more»
The Minnesota Wild‘s struggles this season cost head coach Mike Yeo his job, but a bigger problem than his decision-making threatens the Wild’s future success. The prospect pool lacks star quality. Though there has been plenty of trade babble, young stars and old come at premium prices. Rather than having a budding home-grown star waiting in the wings, the Wild’s recent run of below-average drafting has meant little flexibility for Chuck Fletcher, as well as an AHL team mired at the bottom of the standings.
Now past the midpoint of the 2015-16 season, a relatively healthy and whole Minnesota Wild team is cooling of late. Offense is down, shots for are down, shots against are up, and points have been lost in the NHL’s new 3-on-3 overtime format. The Wild has dropped four in a row while the rival Chicago Blackhawks are on a 12-game winning streak. Read more»
The Minnesota Wild is a franchise in contention for the Stanley Cup this season and for the foreseeable future, even though it lacks the star power of some other contenders. Its success over seasons past has meant few lottery picks, but the team has also been notably light in drafting from the CHL in the course of its history. After being burned by CHL players from Benoit Pouliot to Colton Gillies to James Sheppard to Tyler Cuma to Zack Phillips to Alexandre Belanger – drafted in 2013 and already out of the system – maybe that aversion is justifiable.
Chuck Fletcher’s name comes up in the discussion for best general manager in the NHL. While his record is not without blemish, and he cannot really claim the title without a championship, the consensus is that he has done a good job of building a contending squad from one that seemed to be running in place. However, some of that success came at the cost of organizational depth. The AHL results have been poor, and misguided drafting takes some blame for the lack of skill in the developmental league.

Existing power stations generating >50MW that opted out of the Large Combustion Plant Directive must close by the end of 2015 or 20,000 hours of operation. The power stations that opted in should install Selective Catalyst Reaction (SCR) units to comply with NOx reduction limits by 2016.
