Zara (Zadar) is not yet as well known as a destination as nearby Split or the tourist Dubrovnik. Let me tell you though things are changing and, I would add, luckily since Zara it is full of things to see and do and places of both historical and cultural interest.
Bring Earth to Zara Tim Ertl on Flickr
Already among the things to see and mention there are certainly its walls: erected by the Venetians in 1500 they never allowed the Ottomans to invade the city.
Even today a large part of Zadar is surrounded by high white limestone walls, interrupted by two gates: the Door to Earth and Sea Gate.
The Porta di Terra is still as impressive today as it must have been half a millennium ago: it resembles a Roman triumphal arch, and the Venetian symbol, the lion of St. Mark, still stands proud above the entrance.
The Porta di Mare, built in 1573 to celebrate the victory against the Ottomans in the battle of Lepanto, is close to the ferry port and is a little more modest.
What to see in Zadar
Sea Organ Tim Ertl
At the tip of the peninsula in the old town of Zadar is this imaginative and award-winning work. The magic that givesMarine organ, known in Croatian as "Orgulje" in truth it is not magic: the music in fact comes from the waves.
Conceived in 2005 by architect Nikola Bašić to give new life to the Zadar waterfront (known as “Riva”), it was the first of its kind in the world. The organ was created as a series of large marble steps that descend to the sea, and under each platform the 35 pipes generate musical notes thanks to the power of the waves breaking below and pushing the air through. they.
The result is a random melody, enchanting and relaxing that spreads in the air all along the seafront!
Don't expect to hear music composed like a song, it's nature generated music!
The best time to appreciate this work is certainly at sunset, just before the sun disappears behind the horizon. Find a spot on the wide marble steps that line the water, making your way through the hordes of photographers who flock here in hopes of the perfect shot and trying to get a front row seat!
Salute to the Sun
Greeting to the Sun Tim Ertl
After observing the sunset at the Organ of the Sea, you can continue, turning right, and finding yourself in front of the other work of Nikola Bašić: the Salute to the Sun.
A work of art that explodes in a series of lights and colors overlooking the islands of the Adriatic: this circular installation, thanks to the photovoltaic cells, absorbs the solar energy of the day and then releases it in a vivid multicolored graphic display when the sky begins to darken.
The Greeting to the Sun is an amphitheater-like work of 22 meters in diameter surrounded by stone blocks with a presentation of all the planets of the Solar System and their orbits.
Ancient glass museum
One of my favorite museums in Zadar is the Glass Museum and it is an absolute must that everyone should visit. This museum is home to numerous glass artifacts, some dating back to the 1st century and others that were created much more recently.
Located within the boundaries of the Cosmacendi Palace, which dates back to 1800, many of the glass objects found in the excavations and bequeathed to us by the ancient Romans, have been exhibited to the public.
In the various pavilions, where there are various objects such as drinking vessels, cups, vials and jars, you can also attend demonstrations of the various glass working and blowing techniques used to create these delicate objects. So this museum is not just a collection of artifacts, but a way to "touch" the origins and history of glass.
At the end of the tour it is possible to visit the shop to buy some glass objects made in the old way.
Church of San Donato
The magnificent Church of San Donato, pride of the inhabitants of Zadar Tim Ertl
For those interested in architecture the church of San Donato it will be a source of joy from the moment
which is considered one of the best examples of Byzantine architecture and its state of conservation is practically perfect.
Built in the distant 800, the church, with its high and rounded profile has become the symbol of Zadar and a source of pride for its inhabitants.
The simply furnished interior is designed so that the light entering the sanctuary creates different designs at different times of the day.
The church is now also home to Renaissance musical performances: during the summer, you can enjoy the sounds of the Musical Nights Festival inside. This classical music festival is held from July to August every year, bringing the XNUMXth century back to life.
Cathedral of Santa Anastasia
Cathedral of Santa Anastasia Tim Ertl
Another example of the refined collection of Romanesque architecture of Zadar and a possible future World Heritage site, the Cathedral of Santa Anastasia it is located on the site of an early Christian basilica founded in the distant 300.
Inside you can see an early Christian mosaic dating back to the original basilica and the sarcophagus of Sant'Anastasia.
The cathedral's magnificent bell tower is more recent, having been begun in the 1800th century and only completed in the late XNUMXs.
Open mainly for the worship of the Mass, rather than to be visited, it is worth a visit especially for the magnificent view from the top of its bell tower even if climbing to the top is not child's play given how steep stairs and passages are.
But for the brave who will make it, the prize will be an incredible view of San Donato, the Roman forum and the Velebit mountains.
Located in the heart of the old town of Zadar just behind the church of San Donato, the Roman forum it is the largest existing east of the Adriatic.
According to two inscriptions that came to light during excavations when the forum was discovered in 1930, it was built under the order of Emperor Augustus.
The Roman forum has lived three times: during the empire, after its rediscovery and after the 60s when it came back to life after its destruction during the Second World War.
Unfortunately, the temple and the basilica that stood here have been destroyed: all that remains are fragments of a colonnade and a pillory, where criminals received public punishment.
The Roman forum is the perfect place to take a break while visiting the city in one of the many cafes.
Square of the 5 wells
Square of the 5 wells @Tim Ertl
When the Venetians built the ancient city walls to withstand any attacks by the Ottoman armed forces, they realized that in the event of long sieges it would be necessary to have a constant supply of clean water.
To meet this need, an ingenious cistern for drinking water was devised which can be accessed from five wells in the same square. Today i 5 wells they are still standing here in line next to the rampart of the city. The best time to visit the square is at night, when the wells and defenses are illuminated from below.
Located across the street from the Church of San Donato, the archaeological Museum offers travelers some basic information about the history of Croatia, from prehistoric times to the Middle Ages.
Some of the prehistoric, Roman, Byzantine and medieval artifacts in the collection are impressive: the museum is very well organized and most of the exhibits are accompanied by excellent English translations.
One of my favorite parts is the one dedicated to the Roman era with a model that explains what the Roman Forum was like at the height of the empire's power, with weapons, ceramics and mosaics.
If you are a history buff like me, it will take you many hours to explore it all.
The entrance ticket is around 5 euros for adults.
Church of Santa Maria
On the eastern side of the Roman forum is the Church of Santa Maria, belonging to a Benedictine monastery founded in the XNUMXth century.
The building suffered damage during World War II, but was fully restored and today contains one of the most popular exhibits in the city.
From the church turn left where there is a small door and where the tickets are sold.
The permanent exhibition of religious art features a myriad of artifacts in gold and silver accompanied by tapestries, manuscripts, reliefs and embroidery spanning thousands of years between 700 and 1700. The exhibition is run entirely by the Benedictine nuns of the monastery since the second World War and there are explanatory panels in English.
the Pijaca Market
Tim Ertl fruit and vegetable market
Il Zara Pijaca market it has been around since the Middle Ages and is quite large by Dalmatian standards. It is the typical market with fresh food and vegetables, but it is the right place to buy and taste a famous tasting cheese (Paški Sir) from the island of Pag.
If you go to the Pijaca, make sure you don't miss the Pescaria (fish market).
This place has a large variety of fish available and changes daily. If you are staying in Zadar maybe in an Airbnb and you have a kitchen available, Pijaca and Peskarija are the places where you can find everything you need to try the typical Croatian cuisine.If you want to learn how to cook Croatian dishes? You can book your market visit and cooking lesson online here!
Beaches of Zadar
Croatia is definitely a seaside destination, just think of its islands, but also in Zadar there are 3 beaches that are worth visiting.
Kolovare it is a public beach and has been awarded a blue flag for cleanliness. The beach is equipped with showers, toilets, changing rooms, deck chairs and umbrellas and the pine forest provides shade when you need to shelter from the sun.
Kolovare is perfect for families with children but not only: the activities and water sports options make it ideal for anyone who wants to have fun from teenagers up. Furthermore, given its proximity to the historic center, there is a wide choice of restaurants, bars and shops within easy reach.
The sandy one Borik Beach it is located four kilometers from the historic center of Zadar and can be reached easily by public transport. It is part of the Falkensteiner Resort, which offers the classic family holiday atmosphere and is a favorite with locals.
The beach has in fact been adapted so that there is a lot of fun for the children. Shallow and with a sandy bottom, Borik Beach Zadar also offers all the necessary services for a day spent outdoors, such as food and drinks, toilets, and showers to get the sand off before the aperitif in the center.
Further west of Borik, you will find Diklo. Diklo has some pebbly beaches and is less touristy than Borik, therefore perfect for visitors who love relaxation, tranquility.In Zadar there are a thousand things to do, see here the tours in the city and its surroundings!
Where to sleep in Zadar
Just like in Split, the offer of both private houses and hotels in Zadar is certainly not lacking. But when choosing your hotel or house, one of the things to be careful about is where it is. The risk is to find an apartment in residential areas far from the center.
This means having to take the car or the bus if you want visit the old town of Zadar.
My advice is to look for something central. I found these excellent choices that I recommend both for services and for their location that allows you to walk around without having to take public transport.
Boutique Hostel forum: one of the best choices, excellent location a stone's throw from the church of San Donato, the forum and the Cathedral of Santa Anastasia, medium-low price and fantastic reviews (an average of 9.8 on booking.com). To be booked as soon as possible because it is among the first to be sold out!
Apartments Maruna: another TOP choice for price, services and location (even if a little further away, 700 meters from the center). These apartments also sell out quickly (especially for the garden, the rental of bicycles and the proximity to the beach) so it is advisable to book them in advance.
Downtown Boutique Hostel: a luxury hostel in the center with private rooms. other TOP choice.
How to get there
There are international ferry services for Zara. Jadrolinija operates a night ferry service from Ancona which runs from June to the end of September, with a nine-hour journey. The ferry makes the journey almost every day in August and fewer times a week in the other months, but it is a good choice, especially for those who want to bring their car and visit Zadar in their itinerary in Croatia.
The A1 motorway runs very close to Zadar, so it can be easily used if you are reaching the city from northern or southern Croatia.
The famous coastal road Adriatic Highway (road D8) also reaches Zadar if you are traveling along the Croatian coast eg. from Split.
Zadar has its own airport, which is only 11 km away from the city. There are direct flights. If you want to make a stopover, there are many cities of departure such as Palermo, NAPLES, Bari and Venice.
The buses from the airport to the main bus terminal in Zadar are coordinated with flight arrivals so there is enough time to pick up your bags and get on the bus.
That said, you should normally see a bus waiting outside the terminal (on the right hand side). A one-way ticket costs 25 Kunas, which can easily be purchased directly from the driver upon boarding. This bus makes two stops: first in the main bus station in Zadar, and then just outside the old town. The ticket price is the same regardless of which stop you get off at.

Jessica Biel is opening up about her personal life in a new issue of Allure magazine!
The normally shy Jess talks about her love life with Justin Timberlake, and what’s really holding her back from getting those roles she thinks she really deserves.
She says, "I just want an opportunity. If you don't like the audition, then don't hire me. But if you don't even want to see me – that's hurtful. I'm in there with everybody else, fighting for the good parts. Yes, The Illusionist has made a difference -- but a huge, massive difference, so I can pick and choose what I want? No."
Jess tells the mag that her stunning looks are often the dealbreaker when it comes to casting. She says, "It really is a problem. I have to be blunt."
Well she certainly doesn’t have low self-esteem! Maybe it’s a natural ego-booster to be dating one of the hottest guys in the biz. We know we’d pinch ourselves if we woke up to Justin Timberlake every day!
Jess says, "I mean, you love who you love! It's not like you meet somebody one day and say, 'OK, I'm not going to put up with his fame!' or 'Yes, I am going to put up with his celebrity.’ You can’t choose that. It just happens to you."
And as for their future? Well, Jessica is in no hurry. She tells Allure, "I have no idea if I want to get married. I have a lot to do careerwise."
We’re sure she wouldn’t decline a ring from JT if he proposed! For the full article, pick up a copy of the June issue of Allure.

The highly anticipated clash between third-placed Penshurst and second-placed Tatyoon proved worthy of the hype with the Hawks edging out the Bombers by seven goals at the final whistle.
Both sides displayed solid first quarters and could not be separated in goals or goal attempts, each finishing with nine from 14.
However, Tatyoon turned it on in the second term managing several turnovers and winning the quarter 15-6 courtesy of a ten-goal haul from Alex Antonio.
The Hawks held onto the lead throughout the second half despite rallying play from Bombers goal defence Leah Mirtschin and mid-courter Anastasia Walsh.

THT’s world first driverless heat resistant light is ideal for high temperature environments
02 March 2022
In high heat environments, such as steel mill and glass manufacturing, the ambient temperature is always a great challenge and a leading factor in the failure of LED drivers. THT’s world first driverless LED design is ideal for high temperature environments and other harsh environments application.
Most of the LED drivers in the world can only withstand temperatures of up to 70 degrees Celsius; when the temperature exceeds the limit, the LED lights will malfunction and require frequent maintenance to keep the light operational. In that situation the maintenance manpower and component cost will rise and significant amounts of time are wasted.
THT's lights are heat resistant and have many advantages, including lightweight, small volume, less malfunction rate, waterproof rating IP67, and longer lifespan. Our LED lights are able to provide continuous illumination in harsh environments at all times. THT’s heat resistant lights are tested and verified by a UL laboratory to ensure the most reliable and stable quality. In addition to heat resistant lights, THT also provides explosion proof light for hazardous locations, including petrochemical plants, refinerys, pharmaceutical plants, chemical plants, and gas plants. Our explosion proof lights were granted UL, IECEx, ATEX, CML and TIIS explosion proof certifications to ensure you have a safe working environment. THT safeguards your life and property.

Prevention and Management of Childhood and Adolescent Obesity
NR505 Advanced Research Methods: Evidence-based Practice
Chamberlin college of Nursing
Prevention and Management of Childhood and Adolescent Obesity
The phenomenon of interest in this evidence based practice project is obesity in children and adolescents, with focus in the prevention of its occurrence. According tothe Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC),the prevalence of childhood obesity in the United States of America is currently more than three times its prevalence in the 1970’s. About one in five children of school going age (ages 6-19) are obese. With these findings, the CDC recommends the need for multi-disciplinaryresearch aimed at developing effective and efficient behavioral interventions to prevent childhood obesity. Research findings by the National Collaborative on Childhood and Obesity Research (NCCOR) indicate that one out of three children are obese or overweight before their fifth birthday, and seventeen percent of children and adolescents aged between two and nineteen years are obese.
The National Health and Nutrition Examination survey 2009-2010 found that 32% of children between two and nineteen years of age were overweight or obese, and 17% were in the obese range. Indicate in their research findings that the average weight of a child has risen by more than five kilograms in a short span of about three decades, and that about a third of children in the country are overweight or obese. From these research findings, it is evident that there is increase in the prevalence of obesity among children and adolescents and this is therefore a valid concern, not only to the healthcare profession but also to the larger population. There is need therefore, to carry out research on the prevention of childhood and adolescent obesity to reduce the prevalence rates.
A report by states that there is need for further research on interventions to curb childhood and adolescent obesity, other than those implemented in schools or homes. The report recommends need to carry out more research on the role of environmental and policy changes in the reduction of the rates of childhood and adolescent obesity. In addition, this reportstates that there are gaps in literature on aspects including the impact of regulations on availability of food and its impact in the prevention of obesity. It outlines the need for further testing of the value of consumer health informatics products for obesity prevention, and the need to seek evidence on the impact of regional and national policies on childhood obesity prevention, including agriculture policy and on food retailing and distribution regulations. Lastly, the study recommends further research with stratified populations based on age, gender, race or ethnicity and socioeconomic status, to determine how each of these groups respond to a common intervention.
The selected nursing issue is the prevention of childhood and adolescent obesity, with an overall aim of preventing the co-morbidities associated with childhood and adolescent obesity. Childhood and adolescent obesity predisposes children and adolescents to various illnesses including cardiovascular disease, hypertension, dyslipidemias, diabetes mellitus and obstructive sleep apnea.In addition to these, childhood and adolescent obesity along with the associated comorbidities often extends into adulthood.These illnesses place the child or the adolescent in the hands of a nurse whose role is to attend to patient needs.The direct role of a nurse in patient care provides the opportunity for the nurse to support patient recovery or rehabilitation, along with enforcement of interventions aimed at preventing other illnesses and improving the quality of life for the patient.
The rationale for this study is that there is a role for the nurse practitioner in preventing and reducing the rising incidence and prevalence of obesity in children and adolescents through research, due to the impact of obesity on the overall health of a child and their health in adulthood. Evidence from existing research findings described above, indicates the high prevalence of childhood obesity. The nurse practitioner is an immediate caregiver to the patient in a hospital setting, and their role in implementation of preventive measure against childhood and adolescent obesity is of immense value.
The structure of this paper is in various sections to include identification of MSN program specialty track of choice and the impact of the selected nursing issue on advanced practice in the specialty track. A comprehensive discussion on the nursing issue including the identification, description and statistics relevant to the nursing issue follows in the next section. In this section, there is identification of stakeholders affected by the nursing issue, rationale for selecting the identified nursing issue, statement of the Pico question and finally, identification of literature strategy for the research paper. A conclusion of this paper is the final section. This includes a summary of key elements in the paper, the expected outcomes for the project proposal, and a self-reflection of lessons drawn from writing this paper.
Application to selected MSN specialty track
The MSN program specialty track of interest to me is the Pediatric Nurse Practitioner. This places me in a position to deal mainly with children and adolescents between the ages of two and nineteen years. This specialty track will expose and acquaint me with advanced clinical practice in the care of children across practice settings and across the health and illness continuum. The selected nursing issue of prevention of childhood and adolescent obesityhas great impact upon advanced practice in the pediatric nurse specialty track.
The nursing issue is among the biggest health concern in the United States of America and the world and it therefore warrants intervention. As a pediatric nurse practitioner, the nursing issue directly affects my specialty track and there is need to be actively involved in reducing the prevalence of childhood and adolescent obesity. This nursing issue will enable me to explore and find out more through research and experience, about childhood and adolescent obesity in terms of possible etiology, prevention, management and prevention of complications. This will improve patient care provided to obese children and adolescents, and enforce preventive measures for those at risk.
Nursing issue and supportive evidence regarding the issue
The selected nursing issue in this paper is the prevention and treatment of childhood and adolescent obesity. Obesity, also known as increased adiposity is the state of increased body weight caused by accumulation of adipose tissue to an extent, which leads to adverse effects on the health of an individual. Obesity results from a complexinterplay of genetically determined body habitus, appetite, nutritional intake or diet, physical activity and energy expenditure. The role of environmental factors such as levels of available food, preferences for types of food and preferences for types of physical activity are significant in the causation of obesity.
Measurement of fat accumulation that leads to obesity is by calculating the body mass index (BMI) and the value obtained determines whether an individual is obese or not. Adults with a BMI of more than or equal to thirty are obese, while those between the range of twenty-five and thirty are overweight. In children, BMI percentiles are used to define obesity and overweight based on age. Children more than two years of age with a BMI percentile of more than or equal to ninety-five are obese while those between eighty-fifth and ninety-fifth percentile are overweight. The need to use a slightly variable measure for overweight and obesity in children is because of changes in body fat levels in childhood, with high adiposity in infancy with a decrease for approximately five and a half years until the period called ‘adiposity rebound’. After this, there is an increase in adiposity until early adulthood.
Childhood and adolescent obesity is a predisposing factor to various illness not only in childhood and in adolescence but also in adulthood. The health risks in an obese child or adolescent involve every organ system in the body. They include obstructive sleep apnea, asthma, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemias, gastroesophageal reflux disease, non-alcoholic fatty liver, gallstones, peripheral vascular disease and cardiovascular disease.These diseases may arise together in the same individual and may carry a worse prognosis.
The children may become obese adults and this may predispose to more health risks. In addition to the health risks, obesity affects the psychology of a child, especially due to the perception of their body image by themselves and by others around them. This affects their self-esteem and may affect their social life due to bullying and teasing by otherchildren. The limitation of physical activity in obese children and adolescents may have more harmful effects on their health and their quality of life.
Findings from various studies in the United States of America and worldwide point towards epidemic levels of childhood and adolescent obesity. The incorporation of obesity in the Healthy People 2020 goals indicates the magnitude of this problem. The World Health Organization describes childhood obesity as one of the most serious public health challenges in the 21st Century. The global rates as per 2015 was at 42 million among children under the age of five years with almost half of all overweight children living in Asia and quarter in Africa.
Findings by the CDC indicate that about one in five children of school going age (ages 6-19) are obese. The National Health and Nutrition Examination survey 2009-2010 found that 32% of children between two and nineteen years of age were overweight or obese, and 17% were in the obese range. The racial prevalence of childhood and adolescent obesity was 24% for non-Hispanic Blacks, 21% for Hispanic, more than 20% of American Indian/ Alaskan children and 14% of Whites. In all these groups, maternal education was protective against childhood and adolescent obesity.
A study by indicates that childhood obesity is a major health problem in the United States. Findings from this study indicate that the prevalence of a BMI at the 95th percentile or higher among children between the ages of 6 and 11 years of age increased from 4.2% in 1963-1965 to 15.3% in 1999-2000 and may have plateaued in the first decade of the 21st century. The National Collaborative on Childhood Obesity Research indicates that the obesity rate has more than doubled since 1980, from 5.0% to 12.4% among children between the ages of 2 and 5 years. In addition, findings indicate that obesity rates have more than tripled from 6.5% to 17% among children between the ages of 6 and 11 years, and has more than tripled from 5.0% to 17.6% in adolescents between the ages of 12 and 19 years.
The issue of childhood and adolescent obesity affects various stakeholders. This includes the immediate caregivers of children and adolescents in this case, their parents or guardians, the people in their home environment such as their families and communities where they live in. This group directly affects the nutrition and lifestyle habits of the child or adolescent. Schools and childcare settings are another group of stakeholders affected by childhood and adolescent obesity. This is because in these settings, there can be modification or control of the nutrition and physical activity of the child or adolescent.
Medical care providers and faith-based institutions have a direct role in identification of obese children and adolescents, at risk populations and are in a position to develop and implement interventions. Government agencies and the media can influence the formation of policies and regulations to control the factors that contribute to increased rates of childhood and adolescent obesity. Food and beverage industries and entertainment industries have a direct role in influencing the nutritional content of their products and in influencing the eating habits and lifestyles of children and adolescents. Therefore, they have a direct role in the prevention of childhood and adolescent obesity.
The rationale for selecting the nursing issue of prevention and treatment of childhood and adolescent obesity is that, there is a high prevalence of obesity based on research findings, and as evidenced above, medical care settings impact childhood and adolescent obesity. The role of a nurse in patient care involves the provision for patient needs. In my specialty track of choice as a pediatric nurse practitioner, I am likely to encounter children from a very early age when their parents bring them to hospital for other illnesses and I am therefore in a position to enforce prevention strategies to ensure that children do not become obese. This comes in during assessment of children for growth and development. Parents and caregivers are more likely to take advice from a medical professional; this may help in preventing, controlling and treatment of childhood and adolescent obesity.
The Pico question for this research is: In obese or overweight adolescents (P), is exercise and diet (I) more effective in reducing weight (O) compared to using exercise alone (C) in treatment?
The literature search strategy that I intend to use in the development of a research paper includes searches in online databases such as CINAHL, ProQuest Nursing& Allied Health, PubMed, Medline, Ovoid Nursing Journals,JSTOR, Google Scholar, and National Center for Biotechnology Information (ncbi). I will look for peer reviewed journal articles on childhood and adolescent obesity from various journals sourced at the Chamberlin College of Nursing library and others sourced online. The terms I intend to usein exploring the databases include childhood obesity, adolescent obesity, prevention of obesity, management of childhood and adolescent obesity, obesity in the United States.The information found scrutinized to determine authenticity, relevance and value in the intended research.
From the paper, it is evident that there is a rising prevalence of childhood and adolescent obesity and there is a recommendation for the need for more research on prevention and management. Prevention and management of childhood obesity is a nursing issue that is relevant to the nurse, and especially the pediatric nurse practitioner. Childhood and adolescent obesity affects not only the child or adolescent but also their families, communities, medical professionals, government agencies, food and entertainment industries and therefore requires the combined effort of these stakeholders to prevent and manage.
The expected outcomes for this project proposal is to come up with sufficient evidence on the high prevalence of obesity among children and adolescents, to determine the impact of diet and exercise on management of childhood and adolescent obesity. Other expected outcomes include to identify the gaps in literature concerning prevention and management of childhood and adolescent obesity, and to come up with nursing-inclined strategies and interventions to improve the management and prevention of childhood and adolescent obesity.
Writing this paper has been of great value in several aspects. I have learnt a lot on the prevalence of childhood and adolescent obesity, the etiology, the role of the nurse practitioner in prevention and management of childhood and adolescent obesity, and the need for collective responsibility in the eradication of what has become a menace in the 21st century.

- The structure of the pistil of tetraploid Pelargonium Xhortorum (2N = 36), with respect to the vascular system and the path and nature of the transmitting tissue, was determined.
For a given plant, pollen germination and percent pollen tubes descending the pistil to the ovary were constant for both self- and cross-pollinations; however, seed-set was higher for cross-pollinations. No significant difference was observed for percent pollen germination or percent pollen tube growth for self- or reciprocal cross-pollinations with diploids and their autotetraploids. The number of pollen tubes descending the pistil were influenced by the stigma. Seed-set was higher during the cooler winter months. The lower seed-set for self-pollinations and during the warmer months was a result of embryo abortion.
Polysiphony and branched pollen tubes were observed in fertile and sterile plants. As the pollen tubes approached the ovules, especially in self-pollinated pistils, they often became filled with callose, appeared spirally-ropy, and some were observed to veer away from the ovules toward which they were growing.
There was a preponderance of univalents and bivalents at diplotene. Upon inbreeding the number of univalents increase, the number of multivalents and chiasmata decrease, and the number of bivalents remains constant. The linear configurations of both trivalents and tetravalents appeared most stable. Although there are large numbers of univalents at diplotene, disjunction at anaphase I is relatively regular. It is suggested that, due to the multispecific nature of P. Xhortorum, many of the univalents may have been formed from pre-diplotene terminalization of pachytene pairing. Their kinetochores would therefore be properly polarized, and the univalents would move normally through anaphase I. Interchromosomal fibers were observed in both fertile and sterile plants. It is possible that these fibers aid in the non-random movement of the univalents to their proper poles in the cell. An unexplained high correlation exists between numbers of univalents and trivalents with seed-set.

Like children’s building blocks in vibrant primary colors of green, blue, and red, the square paperboard cartons for new Mighty Oats instant cereal for kids contain compostable serving cups and a plantable inner carton liner that speak to the environmental consciousness of parent company Little Duck Organics. Introducing its Tiny Fruits 100% fruit snacks “for kiddos 1 year+” (according to on-pack copy) in 2010, Brooklyn-based Little Duck launched three varieties of Mighty Oats in March 2013 in Whole Foods Market as part of its goal to grow as an organic children’s snack and cereal brand.
Aimed at kids aged four months old and up, Mighty Oats varieties are made from ancient grains, fruits, and spices, like cinnamon and vanilla, and contain no added salts, sugars, colors, or preservatives. The instant oats can be made on the go, by adding warm milk or water to the single-serve cup and waiting 60 seconds. “For Mighty Oats, we prioritized convenience when it came to the packaging, since there weren’t very many options for on-the-go parents when it came to baby cereal; everything was packaged in larger containers,” explains Little Duck director of communications Gillian S. Grefé.
“With that said,” she continues, “it seemed wasteful to have each single-serve cup be thrown out, so we decided to make the cup compostable.” The 3-in.-wide x 2-in.-deep cup is made from what Grefé describes as a coconut shell powder/corn blend, “a plant starch-based plastic resin with a coconut shell powder inclusion for improved rigidity,” from a proprietary supplier.
The material construction of the cup was chosen to provide an adequate moisture and vapor barrier for the cereal product stored inside, while being durable enough to hold up through filling and distribution. The cup is certified under ASTM-6400 as being compostable in municipal and industrial aerobic composting facilities.
Depending on the cereal variety, the cup is colored yellow, blue, or red, and is embossed with a number of icons and copy. Among them, the Little Duck icon, the Mighty Oats logo, and a potted plant icon surrounded by the words, “Compost Me.” On the bottom of the cup, copy reads, “In another life, I’ll be a cucumber.”
“We tried to squeeze in as many fun, creative design elements to each of our products as possible,” says Grefé. The product carton holds two single-serve cups, while a third cup sticks out through a round die-cut hole in the bottom of the box. Each cup is sealed with a laminated PET lidding film, which Grefé says Little Duck is hoping to replace with a recyclable material.
The boxes themselves contain an added surprise for kids: a plantable insert that yields tomatoes, carrots, or lettuce. “We wanted to take eco-packaging to a whole new level,” says Grefé, “making a product with as little waste as possible that also offered kids an engaging and educational hands-on project.” Visible through a vegetable-shaped die-cut on the back of the box, the insert is made from recycled newsprint and is embedded with organic seeds by a proprietary supplier especially for Little Duck.
The outer carton offers a design by Little Duck CEO and founder Zak Normandin, who opted for illustrations depicting each ingredient in the product, such as vanilla, strawberries, and ancient grain, for Strawberry & Vanilla. “This was another way of us saying in a way even children could understand, ‘This product contains simple, delicious, good-for-you ingredients,’” says Grefé.
The Little Duck icon—a cartoon-like, bright yellow duck—takes the place of the company name on the package and is positioned at the top of the carton, die-cut so that its head rises above the top of the package.
Grefé relays that both product and package have been very well received so far. “Consumers are most excited about the clean ingredient deck and the organic and non-GMO certifications,” she says. “The eco-friendly packaging and the convenience factor is an add-on for them.”
Mighty Oats products are currently offered in Whole Foods Market and will be launched in 6,000 other retail locations nationwide beginning in June. The three-counts packs have a suggested retail price of $6.26 apiece.

Posted on 06/28/2014 10:15:11 PM PDT by Citizen Zed
North Korea fired two short-range missiles into its eastern waters Sunday, a South Korean official said, an apparent test fire that comes just days after the country tested what it called new precision-guided missile.
On Thursday, North Koreas army accused South Korea of firing shells into the Norths waters near the sea boundary.
Both Koreas routinely conduct artillery drills near the maritime boundary. A North Korean artillery attack in 2010 killed four South Koreans on a front-line Yellow Sea island.
The Korean Peninsula is still technically in a state of war because the 1950-53 Korean War ended with an armistice and not a peace treaty.

You’re probably looking for websites like Midss.org to help you better understand your health, and you’re looking for trends online. In fact, approximately 75% of Americans report drinking fat burning drinks and supplements such as PhenQ on a daily basis, as recommended by Bayer, R., MD, and its popularity stem primarily from its caffeine content, which stimulates the central nervous system and improves alertness and mood.
There are currently more lose weight trends on social media than we can possibly count or keep up with. However, one strange trend appears to have gained far more traction than others. The TikTok sensation of squeezing and putting a lemon in your coffee to “Burn Belly Fat!” or “Drop Weight in 7 Days!” is what we’re talking about. TikTok with the hashtag #LemonCoffee has amassed millions of views. There are innumerable YouTube videos that pair contentious “before and after” photos with shots of somebody else squeezing a lemon into their morning coffee, then scowling into the camera as they drink it down.
Coffee with lemon may sound disgusting to those of us who chose a smoother, sweeter sip, including a caramel frappuccino or an almond milk mocha, but does it actually work? And, as some claim, could this lemon drink help with weight loss?
What Is Lemon Coffee?
The drink’s simple description — coffee with lemon — also serves as the ingredient list. The most common combination appears to be half a lemon juice squeezed into a standard cup of black coffee. The flavor isn’t particularly tasty, which may explain why a steaming cup of “lemon coffee” isn’t featured on menu boards at local cafes.
If you like curdled milk, don’t try adding lemon juice to your latte. Even so, in some cultures, sweetened iced coffee is associated with lemons. Mazagran, for example, is a drink that originated in Algeria nearly two centuries ago and is still popular in Portugal.
Coffee and Lemon for Weight Loss: Does It Really Work?
Coffee and lemons are two ingredients that can be found in almost any kitchen. Coffee, one of the world’s most popular beverages, is made by brewing roasted coffee beans.
Lemons, on the other hand, are a citrus fruit genus. After oranges and mandarins, they are the world’s third most-produced citrous fruit. They’re high in vitamin C and antioxidants, as well as a variety of other beneficial plant compounds, which is why they’ve been used for centuries for medicinal purposes.
The coffee with lemon trend recommends combining 1 cup (240 mL) of coffee with the juice of 1 lemon. While some may consider it an unusual combination, others believe that the benefits outweigh the unusual flavor — though science may disagree.
This belief is widespread among various lemon-related trends, but neither lemon nor coffee can melt away fat. Also, the only way to lose excess fat is to consume fewer calories or burn more of them.
Coffee and lemons have a variety of health benefits, owing primarily to their antioxidant content. There is, however, no proof to support the assertion that drinking coffee with lemon relieves diarrhea or causes excess weight to melt away.
Yes, if you replace a high-calorie morning beverage with unsweetened black coffee with lemon, you may lose weight. But, rather than ruining your morning ritual by forcing yourself to drink something you don’t like, follow this advice: Simply drink a tall glass of water as soon as you wake up to stay hydrated, followed by your regular, lemon-free cup of coffee. Remember that any health or weight loss hack that appears to be too quick, too simple, or too good to be true is probably not.
People are constantly looking for that “one thing” that will make a difference in the number on the scale. We understand why these diet crazes are so popular. They’re made from natural ingredients found in our kitchens and have some health benefits. They appear to have the potential to work. Caffeine, especially in large amounts, can cause dizziness, heart palpitations, anxiety, stomach problems, and an elevated heart rate, among other side effects. Also, too much citrus can also cause stomach upset and heartburn.
Coffee is a popular beverage that has been extensively researched for its numerous health benefits, including its ability to boost energy levels, promote weight loss, improve athletic performance, and protect against chronic disease. Lemon, on the other hand, can help with fullness, hydration, and metabolism. However, there is no evidence or research to suggest that combining coffee and lemon help you lose weight. It is still best if you combine it with regular exercise and keep a close eye on your calorie intake.

Cinesonika: BSU to hold U.S. gathering
MUNCIE, Ind. — It's a special sound-filled first for the U.S. and Ball State University.
Ball State is hosting the fifth annual International Soundtrack Conference and Festival, Cinesonika, Friday and Saturday, Sept. 30-Oct. 1
The international conference of movie and sound specialists will take place on Ball State's campus inside the David Letterman Media and Communications Building and the Music Instruction Building.
The big event has been held in Vancouver, Canada and Northern Ireland in past years.
This year's Cinesonika conference celebrates the soundtrack, including music and sound design in moving image.
Registration for the weekend festival is open online.
“Making movies is about more than scripting, acting and cinematography,” Vanessa Ament, the Edmund F. and Virginia B. Ball Endowed Chair in Ball State’s Department of Telecommunications, said. "Great sound is what brings cinema to life.”
Ament is also a professional Foley artist who holds a Ph.D. from Georgia State University.
Her film credits include “Platoon,” “Die Hard,” “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” and “Beauty and the Beast.”
Foley is the process of enhancing a soundtrack by adding sound effects after the shooting of a film.
Ament will lead several workshops throughout the weekend and has promoted the international conference with assistance from Phil Bremen, associate professor and chair for Ball State's Dept. of Telecommunications.
Hollywood professionals, including the Academy Award-winning sound designer for “Dracula,” will also be conducting workshops on supervising sound editing, production sound, sound archiving, and Foley.
For those interested in attending part of the festival, one big event is open and free to the public.
That is the conference's conclusion, the Keynote Speech and Ear Wax Award at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 1 in Sursa Hall.
This will feature a keynote speech by Rick Altman, world-renowned film theorist and sound studies scholar.
The title of Altman's speech is “Cinema/Performance/Event: New Ways to Think About Film Sound.”
A complete schedule including featured speakers and titles can be found at cinesonika.com/schedule.

Koalas in front line
OPPONENTS of a coalmine near Ipswich have lodged an appeal against the decision to allow mining to resume there.
An anti-mine group unsuccessfully sought in the Supreme Court to overturn a decision by former State Mines Minister Stirling Hinchliffe to renew a lease on the abandoned 675ha Ebenezer coalmine near Amberley.
The plaintiffs in the case lodged an appeal against the decision to the Queensland Court of Appeal on Friday.
They have warned the state and federal governments the proposed mining activity poses a significant threat to critical koala habitats and an endangered plant species.
As well as concerns about resuming the Ebenezer mine, environmentalists fear another larger coal precinct could be opened up south-west of Ipswich.
Last week, the Queensland Times revealed coal exploration had started on a site adjacent to the Ebenezer mine.
Tourism executive Graham Turner, a leading opponent of the Ebenezer mine, said the Ipswich Koala Protection Society had advised one of the largest and healthiest koala populations in south-east Queensland was under threat from mining and industry.
"The Ebenezer/Mt Forbes area is now mapped as high-value bushland and a significant koala habitat while the same area is home to the critically endangered and protected Swamp Tea Tree forest," Mr Turner said.
"Last month the Federal Government listed koalas as vulnerable in Queensland, NSW and the ACT. We are calling on the government to stop mining companies from activity which interferes with koalas and their habitats."
Lawyers for the anti-mine group sought a judicial review of the decision by Mr Hinchliffe to renew present owner Zedemar Holdings' lease on the Ebenezer mine, but this was dismissed last month by Justice James Douglas.
Ipswich Koala Protection Society secretary Helen Darbellay said the Federal Government needed to stand by its commitment to protect koalas.
"Over the years, governments both state and federally have spent large sums of money on research trying to identify why koalas are disappearing at such an alarming rate. The answer is simple: loss of habitat," she said.

Ramona Singer May Get Axed from ROHNY After Too Much Race and Politics Talk
Rumors that continue to spread claim Southampton’s Ramona Singer is leaving The Real Housewives of New York City after 13 seasons, which she has denied. Chatter also suggests that her arguments about race relations and politics with Eboni K. Williams have caused the reality show’s ratings to plummet to an all-time low, and the reunion show to be postponed.
But none of it is slowing down Singer’s social life. On July 10, she attended the Samuel Waxman Cancer Foundation’s return of the biggest charity event of the summer, The Hamptons Happening, at the Bridgehampton home of event committee members Maria Fishel and Kenneth Fishel.
On July 14, Singer was spotted at fellow Southamptonite Jean Shafiroff‘s celebration of Bastille Day at Michael’s New York, where sources told South O’ the Highway the reality star is excelling in real estate.
In related news, Radar Online reports that Bridgehampton’s RHONY alum Bethenny Frankel wants to return to the Bravo show as a behind-the-scenes producer, not a cast member, to save its suffering ratings. It could work, but—you heard it right here—putting Frankel back in front of the camera would DEFINITELY work.

Widespread rain triggers mudslide on Granite Belt
PARTS of the Southern Downs have received nearly half a month’s worth of rainfall in one day, triggering a mudslide at Girraween National Park.
Falls of between 20mm and 30mm were recorded around the Granite Belt on Thursday night, while 9mm fell in Warwick.
27mm was recorded in Stanthorpe, while on the border 30mm fell at Wallangarra.
The rain caused a small mudslide on the New England Hwy, 800m from the Girraween National Park turnoff in the early hours of yesterday morning.
According to the Bureau of Meteorology, Amiens Knob was the wettest place in Queensland with 31mm falling in the 24 hours to 9am yesterday.
Forecaster Nicholas Shera said there was a chance of more rain next week.
“It’s too early to say how much at this stage,” he said.
“At the moment we’re just looking at a few showers.”
The wet weather is expected to give way to clear, cool conditions for the weekend.
Mr Shera said Sunday morning would start a run of cool mornings.
“Each night will get colder,” he said.
“We’re looking at fairly widespread frost on Monday morning.”
