When we think about eating disorders, one of the first things that comes to mind is body dissatisfaction. It is a key component in the way we understand, diagnose and treat disorders like anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, and its absence is part of how we define avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). While a lot of research has been done on body dissatisfaction, the concept is still relatively elusive to researchers – we simply do not have a full picture of what is going on. Recently, investigators at the University of Louisville tried to get a better sense of what specific aspects of body dissatisfaction were most significant as well as explore the feelings associated with them. The researchers took a closer look at two specific aspects of body dissatisfaction– feelings of fatness and fear of weight gain.
Important Terms Defined
Feelings of fatness are described by 60-100% of individuals with eating disorders. It has been well documented that these feelings are associated with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and other negative symptoms. The presence of these feelings also predicts restrictive eating and eating concerns better than both body dissatisfaction and depression (two ideas that have been highly researched).
You might assume that feelings of fatness track with body weight or size…but this is actually not the case! Feelings of fatness are not correlated with BMI or weight, and this finding sends a strong signal that something else is likely going. What is it that could produce these “feelings of fatness” without the actual objective physical reality of “fatness?” What Levinson and her colleagues suggest is that it is actually the emotional experience of “fatness” that matters the most. They refer to this as the cognitive affectual experience of fatness, and hypothesize that the way that people with some types of eating disorders interpretfatness and feel about perceived fatness acts as a primary driver of this experience.
Fear of weight gain, the second aspect of body dissatisfaction that is focused on in this study, is a hallmark feature of anorexia nervosa and atypical anorexia nervosa. Fear of weight gain has been previously shown to make a unique contribution to eating disorder severity, above and beyond body shape and weight concerns.
Along with body dissatisfaction, eating disorders also tend to track with other cognitive-affective factors, like anxiety and depression. Researchers and practitioners have long held that all of these factors – body dissatisfaction, affect, and mood – are related. This is a central principle in cognitive behavioral therapy, a well-studied and well-established eating disorder treatment. For that reason, researchers in this study felt that it was important to identify the cognitive-affective variables that were related specifically to feelings of fatness and fears of weight gain.
In a group of 168 individuals with eating disorders, a variety of cognitive-affective variables (including negative affect, guilt, shame, fear of negative evaluation, anxiety sensitivity, and depression) were considered as potentially associated with feelings of fatness and fears of weight gain. Researchers also hoped to learn if any of these variables were predictive of feelings of fatness and fears of weight gain.
What did the study find?
- Depression was associated with feelings of fatness, and predicted feelings of fatness more than any other emotional experience.
- Fears of negative evaluation and depression were uniquely associated with fears of weight gain.
- Feelings of shame predicted fear of weight gain.
Why does this matter?
As often happens in scientific studies, some (but not all) of the results surprised the investigators:
- Depression and negative evaluation fears did contribute to feelings of fatness and predicted them over time (expected)
- Shame did predict fear of weight gain (expected)
- Depression also contributed to fear of weight (unexpected)
- Anxiety did not contribute to fear of weight gain(unexpected)
Findings, whether expected or not, often can have clinical implications and always help point us scientists towards their next questions. In this case, the study authors suggest that (1) targeting depression may be a good strategy in eating disorder treatment, especially if patients report feeling fat, and (2) to decrease fears of weight gain in patients with eating disorders, it may be important to address fear of negative evaluation, depression, and shame.
Ultimately, determining the affective states and conditions surrounding feelings of fatness and fear of weight gain is really important, as it will help inform treatment development efforts, and improve our understanding of the drivers and maintaining factors of certain eating disorders.

A political resolution to be signed by over 100 heads of government neared completion in Rio de Janeiro on Monday. But the agreement that was supposed to chart the course of the earth will fail to do so in many significant respects, unless there is a change of heart at the last moment.
Host country Brazil used its stature to ensure the UN Conference on Sustainable Development will not be called a failure. But in the process, various interest groups ensured that there will be little money to help developing countries move towards a greener future. The means of implementing global treaties worked out at the 1992 Earth Summit remain unclear. There will be no specific sustainable development goals (SDG) right now, only an overall statement of intention. And there may not be an agreement to protect life in the high seas. While there is overall agreement on upgrading the UN Environment Programme, there are differences over a significant detail.
But delegates from 193 governments and officials of the UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD) were wearing broad smiles throughout Monday, largely because they had reached agreement over advancing the green economy concept. There is now a hope that national budgets will take the depletion of air, water, soil and minerals into account.
Two of the three economists who have developed the concept – Partha Dasgupta, Amartya Sen and Kenneth Arrow – are Indian. Despite this, developing country governments, including India, have been very uneasy about accepting the idea that all governments should move towards a green economy. They have been worried that this will become a cover for trade protectionism by industrialised countries, which is how they see the aviation fuel cess by the European Union, for example.
But on Monday morning, a senior negotiator for the Group of 77 countries plus China told The Third Pole, “There are now safeguards against trade protectionism written into the agreement draft. So we are satisfied with it.”
The draft was prepared by Brazilian negotiators on Sunday evening and was a compromise between the positions of industrialised and developing countries, according to an Indian official. The main area of disappointment for the developing world was that there was no promise of funding to help them protect biodiversity or adapt to climate change effects, nor any relaxation in the intellectual property rights regime to help them buy solar panels and windmills more cheaply than now. These are among the chief “means of implementation” of the 1992 agreement over which talks have been stuck for months, and they remained stuck on Monday evening. Bureaucrats predicted that they would have to ask presidents and prime ministers to take a decision on this, not something that heads of government like to do.
The many NGOs following the summit were disappointed because Rio+20 would fail to come up with a list of SDGs on the lines of the Millennium Development Goals, nor would there be a timeline. Those crucial details will now have to be worked out by the governments, and the negotiations may be protracted.
Another big worry on Monday was whether the agreement to protect the oceans would go through. It was stuck over the issue of protecting biodiversity in international waters. Although almost all countries want this agreement here and now, delegates from USA, Canada, Japan and Russia had objected to even discussing the point in Rio, according to an observer from the academic think tank, PEW Centre. These delegates said the issue was being discussed in another UN forum, and should be kept there, though it has been hanging fire for years.
The other big uncertainty was the extent to which UNEP will be upgraded. The programme has only 53 member countries right now, and there is agreement that its membership be made universal. But USA and EU do not want UNEP to be called a “specialized agency”, which in UN speak means its recommendations will have more weight, like that of the World Health Organization. This again may be an issue that will have to be resolved by the heads of government.

Disney Visitors Will Enter Pandora This Weekend
Park-goers will get to enter the magical world of Pandora for the first time this weekend. The new land at Disney’s Animal Kingdom opens to the public Saturday.
Visitors will see floating mountains and a bio luminescent forest.
Barry Stuart, writer for ThrillGeek, admits he’s not the biggest Avatar fan; he only saw the movie once. Nonetheless, he was impressed with the Flight of Passage– a simulator ride where you’re riding on the back of a mountain banshee.
“The 3-D in the ride is the best I’ve ever seen in any theme park attraction; it’s stunning,” said Stuart.
Some people call it the next generation of the Soarin’ ride at EPCOT. Stuart also previewed the Na’vi River Journey at Pandora. He said it’s a more relaxing, family ride through a bio luminescent forest.
Stuart said it’s a good addition to take Animal Kingdom to a full-day park, as some people had considered it a half-day park.

- Draw the headlights and other elements to the front and back of the Tesla Model 3.
On the right and left sides, inside the outline of the car you drew earlier, add straight and curved lines of varying lengths, as shown.
- Depict the bumps on the side of the Tesla Model 3.
Now you should draw straight thin lines of different lengths on the side of the car, one small curved line, and also add arcs over the previously drawn car arches.
- Add the car wheels and erase extra lines.
Draw two symmetrical wheels using circles of different diameters, add short lines around them, and also remove unnecessary lines with the eraser.
- Finish drawing the Tesla Model 3 wheels.
Inside the previously drawn circles, add more circles of different diameters, as well as many straight lines of the same length.
- Make the finished drawing more realistic.
Now you can apply hatching of different density to the drawing to indicate dark areas and make your drawing more realistic and voluminous.
This is the end of this simple drawing lesson, with the help of which you learned how to draw a Tesla Model 3 step by step.

Tonight was opening night for You Have the Right to Remain Dead and what an opening it was. For a Friday night during football season with many homecoming games going on, I thought the crowd was a decent size and it is very difficult to fill every seat in the venue. I still cannot say enough how gorgeous and amazing it is to be on the jewel of a stage. Both times I have been in shows at the Huber I have been spoiled.
I thought that among the best moments were some of the sound effects. There are many great effects that heighten the atmosphere of the show and tonight we had the heater going. Not to worry, because I was for a bit. Everyone I talked to in the audience thought the noise was part of the show… including a few friends who had a great time playing “whodunit.” The entire audience seemed to get into the participation act but it could have started a bit sooner. And we were promised that the noise from the heater would be addressed.
Following the show while shedding my costume and persona of Harnell Chesterton, I learned that one of my castmates is a Red Sox fan (I won’t hold that against him). My Yankee coat was hanging on a hangar and Alex noticed it and we each offered our condolences to each other. By the way, the Bombers are up 2-0 in the ALDS after beating the Twins 4-3 in 11 innings.
And I think I have made a new friend who has found out about my sterling personality. the director warned me to watch myself or she would find something to throw at me during the show. What is it that I do… honestly?
I think I have found a new favorite show that will be really hard to leave when Sunday’s matinee is over. I think this will be number 3 replacing Rooster and right behind Donnie and “you-know-who.”
Lets see… 14 hours 52 minutes to go….and counting.

Victor Liong once said, “The Chinese pantry is only ever going to be ginger, spring onion, coriander and whatever’s around.” “You could ginger and shallot a shoe, you know” he said. Maybe so. But as Liong (the founding chef at Lee Ho Fook in Melbourne) notes today, to be a gamechanger, you must disrupt the status quo so it creates another game. And if Flinders Lane is the epicentre for all things iconically Melbourne, then Lee Ho Fook – just a stone throw away on Duckboard Place – is a modern Chinese diner with a sure sense of identity.
In fact, Liong was completely averse to designing his restaurant in the typical Melbourne fashion; concreted floors, blond wood. “I wanted carpet, I wanted dark wood and I didn’t want the customers to see the kitchen at all,” he says with a smile. Like all good things, the diner and its dishes took a few iterations to get its zest right. “We’ve finally transitioned from creating for the sake of art to finding our own little niche,” explains Liong. “Like any kind of musical artist, with the first album all the creativity angst is in one spot and then it just spews out onto a medium. From here it gets cut and re-cut and sampled. You realise that you can put an idea onto a shelf and you can come back to it. Every time you look at it, you’ve got a fresher lens, you’ve experienced a few things and you refine it. And that’s what we did.”
“At the start, we created a massive repertoire and watched how the customer reacted to a certain produce or grower,” he continued, pointing to his European and fine-dining training as inspiration to his Chinese cuisine.
Today Liong is pairing his restaurant’s desserts with a Nespresso coffee; a chocolate mignardises with miso and cherry (“Chocolate and coffee is a very classic combination but to have it all together, it kind of tastes like a black forest”), a Jasmine tea custard with burnt caramel (“Having something creamy like a custard with burnt caramel which is quite bitter will play off well with the coffee”) and a pumpkin seed ice cream with pumpkin jam, kombu and cocoa (“All of those things – nutty, toasty, salty, a little bit bitter, chocolaty – is how you’d describe coffee anyway, right?”).
While Liong serves his customers coffee using Nespresso Professional – at home he uses the Nespresso Vertuo, a revolutionary coffee machine with a new process which involves extracting high quality coffee at the touch of a button. The Vertuo allows for a diverse variety of cup sizes, from espresso to a large mug, for coffee lovers to enjoy their favourite drink, any way they like. “The ability to experience different coffees at different times of the day and in different formats and in different settings is really cool,” says Liong. “And Melbourne is definitely the city for that.”

The plump, glossy larvae of the darkling beetle, nicknamed “superworms” perhaps because of their size, are usually content to munch on wheat bran. But a number of the two-inch-long critters recently found themselves dining on much stranger fare in the service of science: polystyrene, the long-lived plastic packing material known sometimes by the brand name Styrofoam.
What’s more, the larvae that managed to choke down this peculiar feedstock did not, as you might expect, expire. As scientists documented in a paper published on Thursday in the journal Microbial Genomics, they even gained a bit of weight and were able to metamorphose into beetles most of the time, prompting the researchers to check their digestive systems for microbes that could break down the polystyrene. If scientists can understand such microbes’ tool kits, they can devise a better way to recycle this tenacious substance, which, if left on its own, may persist in the environment for hundreds of years or more.
These are not the first insects that have been fed polystyrene in a lab. Mealworms are known for their ability to eat the substance that makes up packing peanuts, among other plastics, said Christian Rinke, a microbiologist at the University of Queensland in Australia and an author of the new paper. Mealworms and superworms alike have been observed consuming polystyrene, and they lose this ability when they’re fed antibiotics. So researchers have concluded that their gut microbiomes are likely to be behind this unusual talent.
The question was, what was in those microbiomes, exactly? To find out, Dr. Rinke and his colleagues grew three groups of superworms in the lab. One group ate bran, one ate blocks of polystyrene and the third ate nothing. (The experiments were temporarily halted by hungry superworms’ tendency to turn cannibal; giving each unfed superworm its own private space allowed the study to continue.)
While bran was obviously much more attractive to the superworms, they were willing to give polystyrene a go. Within 48 hours, the polystyrene group’s feces turned from light brown to white, and their weight crept up very slowly over the course of three weeks.
When the time came for the insects to metamorphose into beetles, those that ate bran completed the transition successfully nearly 93 percent of the time; those that had starved mustered only 10 percent. Strikingly, 66.7 percent of the polystyrene-eating larvae that were given the chance to pupate were successful. They managed to get enough energy from the notoriously indigestible substance to transform.
“Polystyrene is definitely a poor diet,” Dr. Rinke said. But “the worms can survive it — they don’t look sick or anything.”
The researchers sequenced all the DNA they could extract from the guts of the larvae. They were less interested in which specific microbes were present than in what enzymes were being made as the microbes worked to break down polystyrene. They pinpointed a handful of likely candidates — all types of enzymes known for their slicing-and-dicing abilities — that were possibly shearing polystyrene down into smaller pieces.
“The next step will be to express those enzymes in the lab and experimentally verify that they are doing what we think they are,” Dr. Rinke said.
With more details about the conditions these enzymes require and the precise nature of their abilities, Dr. Rinke hopes that an industrial process to recycle packing foam can someday be designed. At the moment, used polystyrene can be processed into certain kinds of building materials to try to keep it out of landfills. However, a much better solution would be a way to break down its components and then build them back into something new, perhaps using microbes that could spin them into fresh bioplastics.
“It would make the whole thing more interesting economically,” he said. “It would create something sought after,.”

Eastern York High grad Danyelle Wolf puts MMA career on hold to chase Olympic boxing dream
- Danyelle Wolf is attempting to qualify for the USA Boxing team for the 2020 Olympics.
- Wolf was a three-time national boxing champion.
- Her 152-pound weight class was added to the 2020 games for the first time.
Danyelle Wolf has never been one to shy away from a challenge.
The Eastern York High School and Millersville University graduate moved to California after college, not knowing exactly which career path she wanted to pursue.
After a standout athletic career in York County, she fell in love with the sport of boxing and became a three-time USA Boxing national champion, despite never touching a boxing glove until she was 25 years old.
After her 152-pound weight class wasn’t added to the 2016 Summer Olympics, the 2002 Eastern graduate decided to transition to mixed-martial arts and start over, after spending years perfecting her boxing craft with the hopes of achieving the Olympic dreams she set for herself in first grade.
So, after she was finally prepared to make her MMA debut following years of training with elite coaches around the world, Wolf decided to add another challenge to her resume — returning to boxing and attempting to qualify for the USA Boxing 2020 Olympic Trials on a month’s notice.
She quickly conquered that challenge and is now just one step away from qualifying for the 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo as a boxer. The next step in her fighting journey starts in just a few days in Louisiana at the Olympic Trials.
A new sport: Once it was clear her weight class wouldn’t be included in the 2016 Olympics, Wolf decided waiting four years with the hopes of qualifying for the 2020 Tokyo Games wasn’t going to work for her. She made the move to start training for an MMA career and quickly got the attention of the top organizations in the sport.
Wolf said she was approached by California-based Bellator MMA to become one of their prominent female fighters after her successful USA Boxing career, but she told them she needed time to learn MMA before she stepped into the ring for real.
“I don’t even know how to kick, I don’t even know how to wrestle, I don’t know anything,” Wolf said she told the promoters at the time. “I need time to develop. I want to be a real martial artist, I don’t want to be just a boxer that gets choked out in the first fight.”
So, her journey to become a well-rounded fighter began.
Fighting around the globe: First, she moved to Orange County, California, to train in Brazilian jiu-jitsu for 10 months. Wolf conquered that discipline and won three competitions, including the 2016 International Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Federation World Championship.
Next, Wolf spent four months in Thailand training in muay thai and kickboxing.
After her time in Thailand, it was back to California to train in wrestling at The Alliance MMA Gym with fighters such as former Ultimate Fighting Championship bantamweight champion Dominick Cruz and Phil Davis, a former Bellator light heavyweight champion and All-America wrestler at Penn State.
Wolf then went to New Zealand to train at City Kickboxing, where current UFC middleweight champion Israel Adesanya trained. Finally, it was time to come home.
The journey challenged Wolf to find a new way to motivate herself to continue after leaving the boxing world she had so much success in and starting at the bottom again in MMA.
“It was a humbling process,” Wolf said. “Being at the top of your game in one sport and then coming into another sport completely at rock bottom and starting over. I was starting all over again and it definitely (took) a mental toll to take it and be disciplined enough to know that you have to be uncomfortable right now. This is all part of the process. You’re going to be in hell for as long as it takes.”
Finding a fight: After all of the time spent training, Wolf finally felt ready for her first MMA fight. She had one issue though, she had to find someone who was willing to fight her.
Finding an amateur MMA fighter willing to step into the cage with someone with her fighting background was difficult, Wolf said. It took some time, but her camp finally found someone willing to fight.
With the highly anticipated debut set, Wolf suffered a blow more devastating than any punch or kick. The injury to her shoulder she had been training around for seven months wasn’t going away.
She decided to have it checked out and the doctor told her she tore her labrum. The fight was off and it was time for the first surgery of her life.
A few weeks later, she was back in the gym throwing punches and kicks with her shoulder in a sling.
Unfinished business: Once she was cleared from her injury and ready to get back into her training camp to prepare for her MMA debut again, Wolf called her original boxing trainer Basheer Abdullah and asked him to help get her boxing skills ready to showcase in her first MMA fight.
Instead, Abdullah reminded her of an opportunity she might be interested in.
He told her that her 152-pound weight class was added to the 2020 Olympic Games and said she needed to attempt to qualify. Wolf told him she knew and that MMA was her focus now. The past three years of training had been building for this fight, but Abdullah didn’t let her off that easy.
“He said, ‘Danyelle, Olympic Trial (qualifiers) are four weeks away,’” Wolf said. “I said, ‘Four weeks away?”
So, she decided to put her MMA career on hold for a little while, despite interest from Bellator and the UFC, and chase the dream she wrote down in her first-grade class.
Wolf said she sparred once in the month leading up to the qualifying event. She stepped back into the ring and won all three fights to claim her spot at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials that will be held from Dec. 7 through Dec. 16 in Lake Charles, Louisiana. She is one of eight boxers in the 152-pound field at the Olympic Trials.
Although she hasn’t been focused on boxing for years, like the other competitors, Wolf said the years training in MMA will help her in the ring.
“I am glad I crossed over to MMA,” Wolf said. “It kept the fire of fighting and learning different martial arts alive and kept it exciting. I think MMA fighters are tougher. You get kneed in the face. You get elbowed in the face. It’s just way more brutal. I feel just unstoppable.”
Wolf’s plan is to eventually get back to MMA after she earns the Olympic gold medal that has seemingly been the only title to elude her. But, now that she’s back in the sport she originally fell in love with years ago, there’s only one thing on her mind — winning.
“Right now, my focus is boxing. That (U.S. Olympic) spot is mine,” Wolf said. “I have always dreamed for the Olympics to add my weight class. Now is my time, now is my opportunity. I am in the best shape of my life.”

Few American novels written this century have endured in th heart and mind as has this one-Ray Bradbury's incomparable masterwork of the dark fantastic. A carnival rolls in sometime after the midnight hour on a chill Midwestern October eve, ushering in Halloween a week before its time. A calliope's shrill siren song beckons to all with a seductive promise of dreams and youth regained. In this season of dying, Cooger & Dark's Pandemonium Shadow Show has come to Green Town, Illinois, to destroy every life touched by its strange and sinister mystery. And two inquisitive boys standing precariously on the brink of adulthood will soon discover the secret of the satanic raree-show's smoke, mazes, and mirrors, as they learn all too well the heavy cost of wishes -- and the stuff of nightmare.
Throughout his life, Bradbury liked to recount the story of meeting a carnival magician, Mr. Electrico, in 1932. At the end of his performance Electrico reached out to the twelve-year-old Bradbury, touched the boy with his sword, and commanded, "Live forever!" Bradbury later said, "I decided that was the greatest idea I had ever heard. I started writing every day. I never stopped."

The hobby of aquarium keeping and tropic fish as pets is fairly recent in the Western World, and took a while to catch on. The keeping of fish in small indoor tanks was only seriously considered in the middle of the last century, when both in Britain and the rest of Europe a considerable interest in the subject developed…
discus fish are among the most popular aquarium freshwater fish in the world. Native from the Amazon River, Wild caught discus fish first started to appeared in the 1920s, discus fish are spread all over the world being part of true industries in Asia, for instance. When they reach adulthood, discus fish are no bigger than eight to ten inches and they make great pets, bringing an excellent array of lively color to your house. Make sure you know everything about the needs of this fish breed before even thinking about keeping them, though discus fish are not very fragile, they still require a lot of care.
- Symphysodon aequifasciatus, which includes Aequifasciatus (Green Discus), Axelrodi (Brown Discus) and Haraldi (Blue Discus)
- Symphysodon Discus, which includes Discus (True Discus or Heckel Discus) and Willischwartzi. These are more difficult fish to maintain.
The Discus has dorsal and anal fins that run together into the caudal fin accentuating their thin circular profile. The originating wild versions have dark horizontal banding. There are usually two predominant colors in intricate woven patterns. Discus have been bred in captivity to produce a wide variation in brilliant colors with names such as cobalt blue, turquoise, red dragon, pigeon blood, royal, marlboro red, snakeskin, ocean green, red-turquoise and blue diamond. Some show varieties command exorbitant prices.
Memelihara diskus ? diskus kan sulit perawatannya !. Banyak para pencinta ikan hias terutama yang ingin mulai memelihara jenis ikan ini mengatakan hal demikian. Padahal tidak sulit dalam memeliharanya, pemeliharaan ikan ini sama halnya dengan memelihara ikan hias pada umumnya. Tidak membutuhkan keahlian khusus dan perawatannya terbilang mudah. Yang perlu kita ketahui adalah bagaimana dan dalam kondisi bagaimana diskus itu bisa hidup dan apa saja yang perlu kita ketahui untuk memulai memelihara ikan ini.

(1) The low gas pressure in a vacuum environment changes the physical process of smelting and facilitates the escape
Under vacuum conditions, the physical properties of the material change and the boiling point decreases. For example, water has a boiling point of 100 ° C at a normal pressure of 1.01 X 105 Pa) and only 97 ° C at a condition of 7.8 X 104 Pa, which varies with the degree of vacuum. The same is true for metals. Zinc boils at 906*0 under normal pressure and boils at more than 800 degrees under vacuum; lead has a boiling point of 1740 ° C at atmospheric pressure and evaporates at 1000 ° C in a vacuum. That is to say, under vacuum conditions, the boiling point of the metal is lowered, which is favorable for vaporization, evaporation and degassing of the metal. Under vacuum conditions, when the metal is melted, the gas originally contained in the metal is released, and the molten metal is quickly separated. Pumped away by a vacuum pump.
The metal is refined under vacuum without forming pores or intermediate inclusions. The vapor formed by a metal or an oxide under vacuum has a small molecular diameter and good dispersibility. In a vacuum, a polyatomic molecule tends to have a smaller atomic molecule, and the formed gas molecule is small, and the particle size is generally 10-. 10m, will not affect the quality of the metal.
(2) In a vacuum environment, the gas is thin, so that the chemical reaction in the smelting process changes, and few gases participate in the reaction.
The chemical reaction of metals in vacuum smelting is complicated. There is a redox reaction, the metal oxide is reduced to a solid or liquid metal, and may also be reduced to a gaseous metal; there is a decomposition reaction, the metal compound is thermally decomposed, and the gas is evolved; there is a synthesis reaction, and the vacuum slag remelting slag reacts with the metal inclusions. A new compound is formed to remove impurities such as sulfur and phosphorus from the metal.
Oxidation does not occur when the metal is heated to a very high temperature in a vacuum, and it is rarely oxidized whether the metal is solid or liquid.
Vacuum conditions can speed up the chemical reaction in the smelting process; reduce the reaction temperature, promote the development of the smelting process, and improve the quality of metallurgical products.
(3) Smelting in a vacuum environment to reduce environmental pollution
The vacuum smelting process basically has no waste water, waste gas and waste residue, and it has little pollution to the environment. Moreover, the vacuum smelting process is short, the land occupation is small, the consumption is small, the benefit is good, and the metal recovery rate is high, which can solve some problems that cannot be solved by atmospheric pressure metallurgy.

Even though I wasn’t more seriously injured when I got clobbered by a car last week, there was a significant, personal loss associated with this accident — my bike. While it may seem a little strange to mourn the demise of an inanimate object, I can’t help but feel a sense of loss relating to my bike.
From the very beginning of the 100 Pedals journey my bike was with me. Every morning for one hundred consecutive days my bike and I rode around the streets sharing the experiences of the sites, the sounds, the bumps, the hills, and various minor cycling “incidents.” I started many days and completed numerous early morning rides with my bike. My bike joined me on my Summer ’12 Tour as I drove and rode across the country, stopping in different cities and celebrating rides with new and old friends along the way. Though my bike didn’t speak to me or greet me with a big hug, smile, or wag of its rear tire – my bike was always there to greet me just the same.
Over the past two years during my 100Pedals journey we traveled over 10,000 miles together. While I alone with nothing but my thoughts, dodging careless drivers, slipping on slick roads, exploring new routes and celebrating adventure my bicycle was my constant companion and partner on my journey.
As I heal physically and celebrate the reality that I am fortunate my injuries were not more serious, I walk into my garage and look at my bike and realize that some things will never be the same. Just like Tom Hanks had Wilson on his journey in the movie “Cast Away“, my bike was that constant partner on my solitary journey.
My bike was only a hunk of carbon fiber, some gears and chains, a pair of rims and tires, handlebars and a seat. But, for over four years, 20,000 plus miles, and 1200 plus hours, that bike was my companion. I received a lot of benefit riding it. I am saddened it won’t be my riding partner on my 100PedalsRide later this spring. It is only a bike, but it was a big part of an important season in my life and I can’t help but mourn the loss of my trusty, reliable, and supportive riding partner. I am disappointed that my riding will have to wait until I heal. I am even more disappointed that my first really cool road bike, my partner on all my journeys, and my steady, silent friend will not recover to be a part of the next exciting chapter in my life.
Thanks buddy — you took me on an incredible journey and I couldn’t have done it without you!!

Feels So Right - Single
Open iTunes to preview, buy, and download music.
Although I LOVE Wertz, I feel this song doesn't measure up to his While We're Becoming EP.
It's is, as most of his music, great summer road trip, windows down tunes but I felt this song is a bit immature.
Good yes, but I suppose I was expecting While We're Becoming caliber.
Feels So Right
Matt Wertz. I really enjoy his music. This song is very cute and sweet!
Easy on the ears, but...
Matt Wertz is seriously one of my favorites of all time - and I was disappointed with the over-produced feel of this song. :/ I hope the rest of the album returns to soulful metaphors and meaningfulness like songs in past albums.

Whispers eddied around her as expected as high tide or a new moon. They ranged in tone from sordidly speculative to pitying. Victoria ignored them as she walked out of the school and down the streets. The whispers faded under the sounds of pedestrians, pigeons, and cars as she walked to the mall. She removed her jacket and folded it so the school crest didn’t show. She kept changing details as she walked. She let her hair down and drew it in front of her face, tucked her locket under her shirt, unbuttoned her cuffs and rolled up her shirt sleeves to the elbow. By the time she got to the mall, she was no longer an elegant academy rose. She’d faded to just another girl out shopping instead of doing homework.
She wandered looking at this and that, occasionally stepping inside for a closer look at one bauble or another until she reached her destination. The letters declaring the name were vibrant red and jagged, music that held little resemblance to what she heard in drawing rooms pulsed through the speakers, and t-shirts with pop culture references and insults lined the walls. It was everything she wasn’t. Well, she’d see about that. She stepped in and bypassed the t-shirts and lanyards covered in cute animals.
She drifted to the back of the store where rainbow leggings and black silk corsets with red ribbons hung on racks. The colors, dark and bold, enticed her. She found a shirt and corset combo in rich purple and cream. Steampunk Victorian. She gathered it, a matching skirt, a pair of stockings, and a pair of black boots and practically fled to the dressing room.
What was she doing? With all the whispers and speculation, changing so drastically would spark seven different kinds of speculation. Not to mention what her friends would think. Victoria sank down on the excuse for a dressing room bench. She fought to take deep breaths. It was okay. No one here knew here. She didn’t have to buy it. She didn’t have to wear it if she did buy it. But to do something she wanted that wasn’t allowed. She didn’t care if it was typical or expected or overly dramatic. No one knew her better than she did, right? She took another breath and tried on the outfit.
She didn’t recognize the girl in the mirror, the proper set of her shoulders and lift of her chin didn’t look lady like on her, they looked like a challenge. It wasn’t her, but it was part of her, she could see it if she looked long enough. She took another wavering look before changing back into her uniform. But on a glance in the mirror, she didn’t see the same girl either. She looked away quickly. She seemed more real than she felt just then.
Before she could think too much more, she bought the clothes and boots and disguised the boxes. She started her walk home. She may not wear them, but they would remind her as the days went on and the whispers turned to questions or accusations or disgust that the girl in the mirror had more than one mask. She still had time to figure out which was which.

Yes, this is still The Kitchen Tutor blog and not an agricultural information site 🙂 I was looking at my blog and thought it needed a touch of what’s going on with food around here outside. The header is a shot of my jalapeno collection… I love jalapenos and they grow like crazy in our soil so I planted a lot of them!
The background is an extreme close up of my herb garden. I’m not very tech savvy so I couldn’t figure out how to make them look normal… maybe I shouldn’t have said anything and led you to believe that’s just how great we can grow things here in Iowa 🙂
Anywho… that’s what you’re looking at!!

Noninvasive ventilation has been used as a replacement for invasive ventilation, and its flexibility also allows it to be a valuable complement in patient management. ventilators, Its use in acute respiratory failure is well accepted and widespread. It is the focus of this review. tesla ventilators, The role of noninvasive ventilation in those with chronic respiratory failure is not as clear and remains to be defined.
Non-invasive ventilation (NIV) is the delivery of oxygen (ventilation support) via a face mask and therefore eliminating the need of an endotracheal airway. what is a ventilator machine, NIV achieves comparative physiological benefits to conventional mechanical ventilation by reducing the work of breathing and improving gas exchange.
The intervention is recognised as an effective treatment for respiratory failure in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, hospital scrubs near me, cardiogenic pulmonary oedema and other respiratory conditions without complications such as respiratory muscle weakness, upper airway trauma, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and sinusitis.

Macmahon profits just $2m on sale
- From: AAP
- December 24, 2012
MINING contractor Macmahon Holdings expects to make just $2 million on the sale of its construction business to Leighton Holdings due to $12 million in redundancy costs.
Macmahon announced earlier in December it would sell its construction activities to become a dedicated full service mining contractor.
After recent adjustments for new work and projects, Macmahon said its deal with Leighton would be worth $20 million, and produce proceeds of $14 million after transferring employee liabilities to Leighton.
But Macmahon expects to incur $12 million in restructure and redundancy costs associated with staff that will not be transferred to Leighton.
The company has not said how many employees will lose their jobs.
"This is a significant day for the company as we refocus the business on our successful full service mining operations," chief executive Ross Carroll said in a statement on Monday.
The effective date of the sale will be December 31, but shareholder approval is still required, and a meeting is expected to be held in February.
Macmahon shares were steady at 23.5 cents at 1014 AEDT.

The rate of cremation is going up collectively in the U.S., but funeral services are very localized. What’s common in one area of the country can be rare in another. Funeral services are regulated on a state-level, which also affects the options that are available.
States With the Highest Cremation Rates
Where are people more likely to be cremated than buried? It turns out cremation rates are much higher than average on a whole in the western part of the country. According to the latest cremation statistics from the Cremation Association of North America, the states below have the highest rates of cremation.
The state with the highest cremation rate is Nevada. Many people are surprised to find that over 80% of people are cremated.
Oregon is another West Coast state with a high cremation rate. Currently 78.9% of Oregon residents choose cremation.
In a state that has approved composting as an alternative to cremation and burial, it’s not surprising to find cremation is more common than burial in Washington. The state’s 2020 cremation rate was 76.7%.
Over on the other side of the U.S. the cremation rate is almost as high in areas of New England. Maine has the 4th highest cremation rate in the country. Currently, 78.2% of Maine’s residents choose cremation over burial.
Right next to Maine in New Hampshire 76.9% of people choose cremation.
States With the Lowest Cremation Rate
On the other end of the spectrum are the states where burial is still the most common. The south is by far where you’re still more likely to see burial than cremation.
In Mississippi just over a quarter of people are cremated. The cremation rate in 2020 was 27.9%.
Like other areas of the South, the Christian religion is a top factor in which funeral services a person chooses. Only 32.6% of Alabama residents choose cremation in 2020.
Cremation is on the rise in Kentucky largely because of the increasing burial prices, but the state is still low on the list. Just over a third of people (35.1%) opt for cremation.
Despite burial concerns related to flooding in some areas, Louisiana has one of the highest burial rates in the country. Only 37.1% of people choose to get cremated in Louisiana.
In Utah, the Mormon religion heavily influences the funeral services that many people choose. In this state the cremation rate is
It’s worth noting that cremation is becoming more common, even in the states where rates are the lowest. For example, in 2013 the cremation rate in Mississippi was only 18%, and in Alabama it was just 22%.

INVISUTM 7007 waterborne adhesive from Dow addresses label recycling demands while expanding the possibilities of label performance. INVISUTM 7007 performs like currently available high-performing general purpose filmic label (GPFL) adhesives, while allowing for better recycling. As shown in testing trials, the adhesive allows for polyolefin-based (PE, PP) filmic labels to be separated during recycling in the washing step and to produce pure flakes for new materials.
INVISUTM 7007 received recognition from the Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR) as meeting or exceeding its critical guidance protocol for the recycling of clear PET articles with filmic labels and closures. APR’s Critical Guidance Recognition is a widely accepted recyclability assessment for plastics packaging and is granted to companies whose products solve challenges in sustainable package design.
“Converters need reliable label solutions for efficient adhesion and high-speed production, while recyclers want as pure recycling outcomes as possible to increase their yields,” said David Keely, application technology leader, Adhesives at Dow Packaging & Specialty Plastics. “When more applications are being made recyclable and better recycling outcomes are achieved, recycling rates will increase, fewer fossil fuels be needed, and everyone will benefit.”

Besides the miles of beaches and the ocean blue, one of the prettiest destinations in Myrtle Beach is the Brookgreen Gardens, with acres of beautiful flowers, a zoo full of animals and tours to help you navigate everything there is to take in. Along with these scenes and attractions, and as the weather becomes chillier and you hear Christmas carols on the radio, Brookgreen has a special way of putting people in the Christmas spirit.
Every weekend in December, Brookgreen Gardens hosts their annual Nights of a Thousand Candles. During this celebration, candles and lights illuminate the grounds creating a totally different experience than if you were to attend during the day. As you stroll through the gardens with a complementary cup of hot cider and hear the sounds of the holiday from different groups of local carolers and choirs, you’ll find new sources of wonder around every corner. With each part of the grounds you walk through, you will be struck with a different sort of amazement and joy.
Along with the illuminated gardens, Brookgreen also features unique exhibits and a centerpiece tree that is special to that year’s celebration. This year’s tree is an enormous 80-foot China fir that will be decorated with well over 70,000 lights and a varying amount of flowers and ornaments. Each night, it is lit up promptly at 5:45 in the most ceremonial fashion and is sure to be one of the highlights of the season! This year’s exhibit will be prominently featured in Anne’s garden and is a wonderful outdoor display of glass flowers and trees for a unique take on the already gorgeous greenery that Brookgreen is known for. All of the art exhibited will be done by Conway Glass, a small, family-operated and owned company located in the charming town of Conway, South Carolina. They hand-blow all of their glass and dedicate so much time to making this a highly memorable display. You definitely do not want to miss the towering China fir Christmas tree and elaborate glass art display this holiday season!
All these wondrous wintry sights and sounds draw large crowds of locals and tourists alike, so it’s important to purchase a ticket in advance online and arrive early to the gardens. Brookgreen recommends coming early on a Thursday evening to beat the weekend crowd. Arriving early means you get to watch as gardeners start lighting each candle, bringing the holiday spirit to life!
Whether you put your Christmas decorations up early or you wait until the last minute to get in the holiday spirit, Brookgreen Gardens is the perfect place to spend a relaxing evening in merry Myrtle Beach.

We all want the best of the best, so let us point out the hottest comics and collectibles released each week. We spotlight our favorite comics that we know are money-well-spent, new books that look cool, and any toys we can't wait to play with.
Check out our picks, then take to the comments to let us know what looks good to you!
Batman #41 - $3.99
By writer Scott Snyder & artist Greg Capullo | DC Comics
New Batman! New Bat-armor! New haircut! There’s a whole lot of “new” in this issue and it’s got us cautiously excited for this different direction for the beloved Batman series. Batman is more than just pointy ears and a chest symbol, so this new guy has a lot to prove.
And yes, we all know that Bruce Wayne will eventually return, but watching someone else take up the mantle is a tradition of superhero comics, so we’re eager to see Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s take on it for Batman. Snyder’s star-making hit was his run on Detective Comics where Dick Grayson was Batman, so it’s clear the guy knows what he’s doing when it comes to passing on the mantle.
Earth 2: Society #1 - $2.99
By writer Daniel H. Wilson & artist Jorge Jimenez | DC Comics
If one new Batman wasn’t enough for you, then here, have another. With Earth 2 destroyed by Darkseid and then Convergence creating a new planet for the survivors, we’re getting an Earth 2 relaunch with the subtitle “Society.” The dream is that the added subtitle means that the series will hearken back to the Justice Society of America glory days, so that’s why we’re pumped to see the continued adventures of Alan Scott, Jay Garrick and the rest. And of course, the new Batman, whose identity we won’t spoil if you don’t already know.
Harley Quinn #17 - $3.99
By writers Amanda Conner, Jimmy Palmiotti & artist Chad Hardin | DC Comics
Leave it to Harley Quinn to spoof another DC comic on her first issue back on the stands. Although we’re not mad at it -- by doing her version of We Are...Robin and creating the Gang of Harleys, we’re getting all sorts of new Harleys, like Carli Quinn, Harley Queen, and even the male Harvey Quinn. This story sounds ludicrous and insane, which is precisely why we can’t wait to read it.
Birthright #8 - $2.99
By writer Joshua Williamson & artist Andrei Bressan | Image Comics
The concept of Birthright was thrilling from the start, but there was no way to predict the big cliffhanger at the end of issue #7 when a certain someone showed up pregnant and on the hunt for Mikey Rhodes. This is the story about what happens after your standard epic fantasy quest -- and it’s cinematic art filled with brutal action and brilliant character designs is a prime selling point.


Picture of new Dragon armored vehicle
These vehicles will be produced at the Alcala de Guadaira factory assembly line
Technology programs for the Wheeled Combat Vehicle (WCV) 8x8 support the development of this new Spanish combat vehicle, for which five prototypes have been manufactured at the factory. Since design and performance are quite defined, the idea is to carry out test-firing with the first two demonstrators in early July.
This program, with a first-phase budget of €2.1 billion, will create at least 650 direct jobs and about 1,000 indirect jobs, and also give a considerable boost to the supply chain. The defense industry generates quality employment and uses avant-garde technology. The contract for manufacture of these vehicles includes the serial production of 348 vehicles, which are to be delivered in the first quarter of 2022. After this phase, there should follow a second and third manufacturing phase, followed by a life cycle entailing a workload of at least 40 years. This is a major project.

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge
And Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau, thy firstborn; I have done according as thou didst command me; arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
2 Kings 10:19
Now, therefore, call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let no one be lacking, for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whoever is lacking shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty to the intent that he might destroy those that served Baal.
Are ye to speak iniquity for God? Are ye to speak deceitfully for him?
Have we not all one father? has not one God created us? why do we despise each man his brother by breaking the covenant of our fathers?
For if the truth of God has more abounded through my lie unto his glory, why even so am I also judged as a sinner?
2 Corinthians 4:7
But we have this treasure in clay vessels that the excellency of the virtue may be of God, and not of us.
1 Thessalonians 4:6
that no one oppress and defraud his brother in any matter because the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified.

In his own words:
WHY DO YOU VOLUNTEER?
I ask myself, “How can we make a difference?” Tomorrow is not promised to
anybody. What can we do today to inspire
someone else; to let them know we care?
WHY SERVE VETERANS?
I’ve always had great respect for our vet-
erans – we have our freedoms because of
them. But sometimes they come back and feel forgotten. I just
wanted to make sure they knew their sacrifices matter.
WHAT’S ESPECIALLY REWARDING?
With each of us doing a little, collectively we’re able to accomplish a lot. It’s not just one person, it’s many, many members
from different lodges that make these events successful. When
I take on these projects, I think to myself, “We can’t fail our
veterans,” and they always come together.
