Summary of Chapter II
These incidents start one summer when Mrs. Forrester was still a young woman, and Sweet Water was expected to be a great town. While she is arranging roses in a bowl, she sees a group of boys coming to her door with fishing-poles asking to fish in her marsh land. She agrees and then asks Mary, the cook, to make the boys some cookies. They eat their lunch in the cottonwood grove, as Mrs. Forrester in a white dress brings them cookies. She tells the boys she sometimes wades in the marsh. They are feeling very happy that she brought the cookies herself. She is “a very special kind of person” like royalty (p. 21).
The boys lie in the grass and talk about who poisoned Judge Pommeroy’s spaniel. As they speak of him, he shows up: Ivy Peters or “Poison Ivy,” an arrogant and uncouth teenager. He is carrying a gun. One of the boys tells him Mrs. Forrester doesn’t want hunting on the land. Ivy claims he is as good as she is and will do as he likes. He has a face as red as if stung by bees, and he has poisoned other dogs. In fact, he shows his cruelty to the boys by shooting a woodpecker with a sling-shot and then slitting its eyes so it can’t see. The boys watch the woodpecker, now blind, fly against the tree. Niel Herbert, one of the boys, decides to climb the tree and kill the poor bird to put it out of its misery. He falls from the tree and breaks his arm. The boys carry Niel to the house and ask Mrs. Forrester’s help. Ivy bursts into the house, determined to make himself at home, though the other boys stay on the porch in respect. Mrs. Forrester sends Ivy away and phones for the doctor, giving Niel some brandy.
Niel looks wonderingly at the grand house, darkened and quiet. It is so unlike the noise of his house. He feels luxurious in the room, the nicest he has ever seen. Dr. Dennison sets the arm and takes Niel home in his buggy. Niel is Judge Pommeroy’s nephew, but his father is a poor widower with his Cousin Sadie as their sloppy housekeeper. Niel is ashamed of home and identifies rather with his prosperous uncle, the Judge, who is the Forresters’ lawyer and friend.
Commentary on Chapter II
Here is a seminal scene on the Forrester land. The animals and vegetation are protected and appreciated for their beauty. The boys are enjoying an idyllic boyhood summer picnic, and the satanic “Poison Ivy” shows up. He is older and has a gun, and he murders dogs. To impress the boys, he tortures a woodpecker. The narrator says that these are hearty boys and not squeamish, for one is the butcher’s boy, and the others kill game to sell, but they are upset by this meanness.
Niel is so upset, he risks his own neck to put the bird out of misery. A major enmity is revealed in this chapter. The judge’s nephew, twelve-year-old Niel Herbert, a favorite with Mrs. Forrester, cannot stand Ivy Peters and his cruel ways. They hate each other from boyhood.
Even in this group of boys, there are two classes represented. Niel and George Adams are from gentlemen’s families, and their behavior is more refined. The other boys are rougher but good natured: the butcher’s son, the grocer’s twins, Ed Elliot, whose father owns the shoe store, and the tailor’s son. Ivy Peters is also from the lower class but has ambitions of power, and even in this scene tries to assert that power over the Forresters. This is an omen of future conflict.
The other thing of note in this chapter is the way the boys regard Mrs. Forrester. They know she is of a different class, and they get George to speak properly to her. She is kind to them and knows how to put them at ease, and yet they do not try to act familiar, except for Ivy. They are in awe that she knows how to swim when most women do not. This fact, and the image of her pulling off her stockings to wade in the marsh reveal that though she is a lady, she has an unconventional, adventurous, and even sensuous side.
Finally, we come to the character of Niel, who is the narrative sensibility of the story. We see everything through his eyes, and his impressions were Cather’s as she grew up in Red Cloud, Nebraska, the prototype for Sweet Water. Even as a twelve-year-old boy, he is sensitive to suffering and injustice and tries to help the woodpecker. He is also awed by the Forrester house, its grandness, its quiet and dignity, so unlike his own motherless home. He regards Mrs. Forrester as a beautiful lady of a higher order of beings. Though Niel’s father is poor, his own mother came from the Pommeroys, a good family, and he identifies with gentility, not only in lifestyle, but in sensibility.

Happy Friday! Are you loving Tracy’s new set, Summer Garden? I know I am! And, I especially love that the sentiments and images can mix and match with her previous set, Happy Harvest. For today’s card I did just that! I used the sunflowers from Happy Harvest and paired it with the teacup from Summer Garden. They’re stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics and cut out with my circle Nesties. I used some paper from Nook and Pantry and finished it off by folding over a piece of brown crochet trim. It’s normally 1-1/2” which was too wide for my 4-1/2” square card so I just folded it over!
I hope you have a great weekend! It’s supposed to be another scorcher here in NJ! Thanks for stopping by!

A new Irish-based group creating a unique blend of Irish Traditional Music and Old Time American Folk, with hints of funk, jazz, and contemporary music.
The Boxty Gang are the 2016 runners-up of the Michigan Irish Music Initiative and have performed independently in festivals and venues in Ireland, Belgium, Norway, and The USA to date. Most recently, they have showcased successfully on The Danny Kyle Stage in Celtic Connections, Glasgow, to a standing ovation from the crowd.
The group's members hail from far and near and have previously shared stages with acts such as Kieran Hanrahan, The Fureys, The High Kings, Sharon Shannon, Martin Hayes, Seamus Begley, The Kilkennys, Moving Hearts, and many many more.
Their music bares a strong draw to the West of Ireland, and their newly-released debut album, 'West Towards Home' portrays songs old and new about the nostalgia of the past and an enigmatic draw towards Celtic roots. This theme emanates strongly with Irish and Celtic descendants around the world who feel a draw back to their homes and heritage. With this in mind, the group's target audience sits very much amongst celtic cousins scattered near and far throughout the globe.
The group brings together established folk and acoustic musicians from Ireland and Norway for an exciting new project in Folk and Traditional Music, not to be missed!

How do you stop watery diarrhea?
Lifestyle and home remediesDrink plenty of clear liquids, including water, broths and juices.
Add semisolid and low-fiber foods gradually as your bowel movements return to normal.
Avoid certain foods such as dairy products, fatty foods, high-fiber foods or highly seasoned foods for a few days.More items…•Jun 16, 2020.
How can I stop diarrhea fast at home?
Consuming sugar and salt with water helps the intestines to absorb fluids more efficiently. This solution more effectively rehydrates the body after a bout of diarrhea than water alone. Other drinks can also be beneficial. For example, drinking sports drinks can help rehydrate the body and restore potassium and sodium.
Is tea good for diarrhea?
You should drink at least six 8-ounce glasses of fluids each day. Choose fruit juice without pulp, broth, or soda (without caffeine). Chicken broth (without the fat), tea with honey, and sports drinks are also good choices. Instead of drinking liquids with your meals, drink liquids between meals.
How long is too long for diarrhea?
Treating diarrhoea In children, diarrhoea will usually pass within 5 to 7 days and will rarely last longer than 2 weeks. In adults, diarrhoea usually improves within 2 to 4 days, although some infections can last a week or more.
What is the best medicine for diarrhea?
Two types of meds relieve diarrhea in different ways:Loperamide (Imodium) slows the movement of food through your intestines, which lets your body absorb more liquid.Bismuth subsalicylate (Kaopectate, Pepto-Bismol) balances out how fluid moves through your digestive tract.Aug 6, 2019
Does lemon water help diarrhea?
Lemon juice could help patients with Norovirus infections fight off the painful and unpleasant disease, researchers from Heidelberg found. It could also be a good disinfectant during a Norovirus epidemic.
Is Gatorade good for diarrhea?
Try to avoid non-clear liquids such as milk, juices, and sodas, because these can actually make the diarrhea worse. You can replace electrolytes by drinking sports drinks, such as Gatorade or PowerAde, or Pedialyte.
What can you drink to help stop diarrhea?
Give an adult plenty of clear fluid, like fruit juices, soda, sports drinks and clear broth. Avoid milk or milk-based products, alcohol, apple juice, and caffeine while you have diarrhea and for 3 to 5 days after you get better.
What is watery diarrhea a sign of?
Bacteria that cause diarrhea-producing infections include salmonella and E. coli. Contaminated food and fluids are common sources of bacterial infections. Rotavirus, norovirus, and other kinds of viral gastroenteritis, commonly referred to as “stomach flu,” are among the viruses that can cause explosive diarrhea.
Is banana good for diarrhea?
What to eat if you have diarrhea: Eat foods that are high in pectin, such as applesauce, bananas, and yogurt. Pectin, a water-soluble fiber, helps reduce diarrhea. Eat foods that have a lot of potassium, such as fruit juices, sports drinks, potatoes without the skin, and bananas.
Are scrambled eggs good for diarrhea?
Eating When you Have Diarrhea You can bake or broil beef, pork, chicken, fish, or turkey. Cooked eggs are also OK. Use low-fat milk, cheese, or yogurt.
Why is my poop watery and my stomach hurts?
Abdominal pain or cramping may accompany diarrhea. Some of the most common causes include food sensitivities, bacterial or viral infections, and medication or alcohol use. It may also result from stress or chronic conditions, such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Does drinking a lot of water make you poop watery?
When you drink too much water, your kidneys become unable to get rid of the excess liquid, and water starts to collect in the body. This can cause a number of unpleasant symptoms, often including nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. But if you’re ever feeling stressed, this is why you need to drink water.
What can you eat to stop diarrhea?
Here’s another bit of good advice from Mom for treating diarrhea – eat the BRAT diet: bananas, rice (white), applesauce and toast. When your health is good, physicians usually recommend whole-grain, high-fiber foods.
Is it better to stop diarrhea or let it go?
If you suffer from acute diarrhea, it’s best to treat it straight away. By treating diarrhea, your body can start to recover so you can feel better and get on with your day as quickly as possible.
What should I eat if I have watery diarrhea?
Bland foods that may help with diarrhea include:hot cereals, such as oatmeal, cream of wheat, or rice porridge.bananas.applesauce.plain white rice.bread or toast.boiled potatoes.unseasoned crackers.

Also in this week's column: Will robots ever become just like humans? Is there such a thing as frigidity? How does the heart differ from other mechanical pumps? Asked by Andrew Lane of North York, Ontario, Canada It is difficult to imagine a mechanical pump anywhere near as good in operating so well over so long as a human …
Not really answering the question
How the heart works is covered in GCSE biology. Physical differences from a mechanical pump are only half the story.
The heart really differs from other mechanical pumps, in a functional sense, in that the pressure remains very low throughout, and this prevents the blood cells from being destroyed (haemolysis). This is one of the major barriers to replacing the heart with a mechanical alternative.
Pumps which do mimic the low pressure conditions tend to be too large to implant in a patient.
One for the editors?
The atria are filled by blood entering the heart through veins, not arteries. This is quite nicely described here http://www.geocities.com/jw31645/heart-n.html
Veins 'bring' blood to the heart, arteries 'take' blood away.

So I walk into the GunPimp’s this morning and he seems unusually pleased to see me.
“I’ve got something for you”, he smiled. “No one else in the country has them. I have two. I’ll sell you one.”
In my mind I’m thinking “Oh man, how much money can I afford to spend on another gun?”
This is a standard 4-round magazine for my tack-driving CZ550 Varmint Kevlar .308:
And this is the 10-rd. magazine the CZ USA sales manager brought back with him to the US for the GunPimp when told that the Pimp had a customer who very much wanted some ten-round magazines.
And heres how it looks tacticooling my CZ:

text: The past decade has witnessed major advances in our understanding of the mechanism and regulation of nucleo-cytoplasmic transport in vertebrates and yeast (reviewed in Macara, 2001; Ossareh-Nazari et al., 2001; Weis, 2002). This transport occurs through nuclear pore complexes (NPC), large supramolecular structures that span the double membrane of the nuclear envelope (NE). Ions and small molecules less than ~40 kDa can passively diffuse through aqueous channels that cross the NPC, however larger macromolecules (most proteins and ribonucleoprotein complexes) are translocated through the central channel of the NPC in a saturable and sequence-mediated process that is rapid and highly selective (Kuersten et al., 2001; Macara, 2001; Mattaj and Englmeier, 1998). This nucleo-cytoplasmic traffic has evolved to be functionally and mechanistically diversified: beyond being needed for basal replication, transcription and RNA processing, it also serves to regulate the cell cycle, transcriptional activation and repression in response to a variety of physiological and environmental stimuli, circadian rhythms and a number of other processes (Macara, 2001; Ossareh-Nazari et al., 2001; Weis, 2002; Yamamoto and Deng, 1999). The small GTPase Ran, a member of the ras superfamily, is key in this process, both in establishing compartmental identity and in providing directionality to transport.

The Importance of Oxygen for Brain Health and Cognitive Function
Oxygen is essential for life and is crucial for the health and function of our brain. It plays a critical role in maintaining the proper functioning of our body and mind. The brain requires a constant supply of oxygen to perform its various functions, including regulating mood, attention, memory, and more. When our brain does not receive an adequate supply of oxygen, it can result in decreased cognitive function and even serious brain damage.
Studies have shown that supplemental oxygen can have a positive effect on cognitive function and brain health. Increased oxygen levels in the brain can enhance mental clarity, focus, and concentration. It can also help to improve memory and increase overall cognitive performance. In addition, increased oxygen levels have been shown to have a calming effect on the brain, reducing anxiety and improving overall mental wellbeing.
Increased Production of Neurotransmitters
One of the ways that oxygen can improve brain health is by increasing the production of neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that are responsible for transmitting signals between nerve cells in the brain. When neurotransmitter production is increased, it leads to improved brain function, including better memory and increased mental clarity.
Another way that oxygen can improve brain health is by reducing inflammation. Inflammation in the brain can lead to a variety of health problems, including decreased cognitive function and the development of neurological disorders such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. By reducing inflammation in the brain, supplemental oxygen can help to protect against these conditions and promote overall brain health.
It’s important to note that while supplemental oxygen can provide benefits for brain health, it should never be used as a substitute for proper medical care. If you have a medical condition that affects your ability to receive adequate oxygen, it’s important to seek treatment from a doctor. Additionally, if you experience any symptoms of oxygen deprivation, such as dizziness or difficulty breathing, it’s important to seek medical attention immediately.
Enhanced Nutrient Delivery
In addition to increased production of neurotransmitters and reduced inflammation, there are several other important benefits to supplementing with oxygen. One of the most significant benefits is the improved delivery of nutrients to the brain. The brain requires a constant supply of nutrients to perform its various functions, and when the brain does not receive an adequate supply of these nutrients, it can lead to decreased cognitive function. Supplemental oxygen can help to increase blood flow to the brain, which in turn delivers more nutrients and oxygen to the brain, improving its overall function.
Protection from Stress
Supplemental oxygen can also help to protect the brain from damage caused by stress. Stress is a major contributor to decreased brain function and can lead to the development of various neurological disorders. When the brain is under stress, it releases cortisol, which is a hormone that can cause damage to the brain. By supplementing with oxygen, we can help to reduce the effects of cortisol and protect the brain from damage.
In addition to these benefits, supplemental oxygen can also help to improve overall mental and physical performance (internal link here). When the brain receives an adequate supply of oxygen, it can function more efficiently, leading to improved mental clarity, focus, and memory. This can help to increase productivity and improve overall performance, both in the gym and in everyday life.
Increased Quality of Sleep
Finally, supplementing with oxygen can also help to improve sleep quality. Sleep is crucial for the proper functioning of the brain, and when we do not get enough sleep, our cognitive function can be impaired. By supplementing with oxygen, we can improve the quality of our sleep, which in turn can help to improve our overall brain health and cognitive function.
In conclusion, supplementing with oxygen can have a wide range of benefits for brain health and cognitive function. Whether you’re an athlete, busy professional, or simply looking to improve your overall wellbeing, supplemental oxygen can help to provide the benefits you need for optimal health and wellbeing.

President Donald Trump wrapped up his five-nation tour of Asia on Tuesday, claiming to have gained a better grasp of the region geopolitical situation and an improved relationship with the countries’ leaders.
Speaking to the press shortly before boarding the flight that will take him back to Washington D.C., Trump talked about his “tremendously successful” 12-day-long trip briefly recounting the highlights of time in Japan, South Korea, China, Vietnam and the Philippines, the last leg of the journey, which he dubbed “really important” for military purposes.
“It is a strategic location—the most strategic location. And, if you look at it, it's called the most prime piece of real estate from a military standpoint,” the former real estate tycoon said.
A former American colony, the Philippines and the U.S. are bound by the 1951 Mutual Defense Treaty and U.S. troops are deployed across five military facilities in the country. But after President Rodrigo Duterte was elected last year, he said he wanted to rid the country of the presence of foreign troops even if this meant revising existing agreements.
Trump, however, had fond words for his own relationship with his Filipino counterpart, a man he has often been compared to.
Duterte personally ensured his American counterpart was entertained during his visit, serenading Trump with a traditional Filipino love song during a gala dinner in Manila on Sunday, which began: “You are the light of my world, a half of this heart of mine.”
Trump also shared a chuckle when Duterte branded the media reporting on their meeting as “spies” and the Filipino president did not seem to upset that Trump struggled to figure out how to hold his hand during the traditional group handshake at the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) Summit.
“We have a very good relationship. I would actually say probably better than ever before,” Trump told the press discussing his relationship with the Filipino leader.
Duterte infamously called the former U.S. President Barack Obama a “son of a whore” over suggestions the American president would criticize his approach to fighting drug trafficking, which has resulted in the extrajudicial killing of thousands of Filipinos as part of a so-called “war on drugs.” Obama canceled a meeting with Duterte, whom he called “a colorful guy,” planned on the sidelines of the ASEAN Summit in Laos last year.
“The relationship with the past administration was horrible, to use a nice word,” Trump said, before referring to a supposed canceled landing that did not, in fact, occur. “You know what happened. Many of you were there, and you never got to land. The plane came close but it didn't land,” he said.
The topic of humans rights came up “briefly” during the conversation between Trump and Duterte, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said.

Portugal is considering introducing a tax on foods containing high levels of fat and salt, in addition to raising an existing tax on sugary drinks, the country’s health minister has said.
Adalberto Campos Fernandes said in an interview with Portugal’s Lusa news agency the move is under consideration by the government.
A tax on junk food, “similar to the one applying to sugary drinks, will be a priority target”, Campos Fernandes said.
The minister said efforts to curb junk food consumption had already begun with the introduction of vegetarian menus in schools and restrictions on “unhealthy high calorie foods” in vending machines of hospitals. “We will certainly be more aggressive in 2018,” he said.
Meanwhile, existing tax rates on sugary drinks will be “redefined to penalise the most harmful to health”, Campos Fernandes added. He gave no details on what the levels of the new and revised taxes might be, but he pledged to discuss the issue with food industry representatives.
EU commissioner for health and food safety Vytenis Andriukaitis has called for measures such as reformulation, taxation and curbs on marketing and advertising to “reduce accessibility to unhealthy food”.

The Danish forward was clocked doing 104mph in his Porsche back in December, with his case being heard by Newcastle Magistrates on Tuesday.
Although Bendtner was not in attendance, defence lawyer Barry Warburton pleaded the Scandinavian attacker’s case.
“I understand he was going to Newcastle Airport, he was slightly late for a flight and unfortunately he speeded,” Warburton told the court according to The Guardian.
“It was a Saturday morning, there was very little traffic on the road and weather conditions were fine.
“Not withstanding the fact he is in Denmark, he has been absolutely no trouble to anybody. In my respectful submission, your public duty can be discharged by treating him with leniency,” he concluded.
Despite the plea Bendtner’s punishment was upheld, and the player will now not be allowed to drive for almost two months.
This is not the first incident Bendtner has been involved in on the roads, as it is believed that the Dane was lucky to escape serious injury after crashing his Aston Martin back in 2009.

Solar cells fabricated from composites of conjugated polymers with nanostructured metal oxides are gaining interest on account of the stability, low cost and electron transport properties of metal oxides. Zinc oxide (ZnO)/polymer solar cells are promising compared to other metal oxide/polymer combinations, on account of the possibility of low temperature synthesis, as well as the potential for controlling interface morphology through simple processing from solution. Here, we focus on the effect of surface morphology of ZnO films on photovoltaic device performance. We have successfully grown ZnO nanorods standing almost perpendicular to the electrodes on a flat, dense ZnO "backing" layer. We studied structures consisting of a conjugated polymer in contact with three different types of ZnO layer: a flat ZnO backing layer alone; ZnO nanorods on a ZnO backing layer; and ZnO nanoparticles on a ZnO backing layer. We use scanning electron microscopy, steady state and transient absorption spectroscopies and photovoltaic device measurements to study the morphology, charge separation and recombination behaviour and device performance of the three types of structures. We find that charge recombination in the structures containing vertically aligned ZnO nanorods is remarkably slow, with a half life of over 1 ms, over two orders of magnitude slower than for randomly oriented ZnO nanoparticles. A photovoltaic device based on the nanorod structure which has been treated with an ambiphilic dye before deposition of poly(3-hexyl thiophene) (P3HT) polymer shows a power conversion efficiency over four times greater than for a similar device based on the nanoparticle structure. The best ZnO nanorods: P3HT device yields a short circuit current density of 2 mAcm-2 under AM1.5 illumination (100mWcm-2) and peak external quantum efficiency over 14%, resulting in a power conversion efficiency of 0.20%.
This study focuses on systems consisting of high hole-mobility MEHPPV based polymers or a fluorene-bithiophene co-polymer in contact with different nanocrystalline TiO2 films. We use photoluminescence quenching, time of flight mobility measurements and optical spectroscopy to characterize the exciton transport, charge transport and light harvesting properties, respectively, of the polymers, and correlate these material properties with photovoltaic device performance. We find that the polymer properties with greatest influence on device efficiency are the polymer exciton diffusion length and absorption range, followed by the hole mobility. We have also studied the photovoltaic performance of these TiO2/polymer devices as a function of active layer thickness. Device performances are significantly improved by introducing a PEDOT layer between the polymer and the top Au electrode and by reducing the thickness of the active layers. The optimized devices have peak external quantum efficiencies ≈ 40 % at the polymer's maximum absorption wavelength and yield short circuit current densities ≥ 2 mA cm-2 for air mass (AM) 1.5 conditions (100 mW cm-2, 1 sun). The AM 1.5 open circuit voltage reaches 0.64 V and the fill factor 0.43, resulting in an overall power conversion efficiency of 0.58 %.
We study the charge recombination kinetics and photovoltaic performance of composites of poly (9,9-dioctylfluorene-co-bithiophene) polymer with nanocrystalline TiO2. Transient optical spectroscopy confirms that photoexcitation of the polymer leads to electron transfer to the TiO2 and indicates that charge recombination is slow with a half-time of 100 μs to 10ms. Polymer penetration into thick porous TiO2 layers is improved by melt-processing and treatment of the TiO2 surface. We study the photovoltaic characteristics of devices with different layer thickness and interface morphology. Quantum efficiency (QE) of all devices is increased by reducing the TiO2 and polymer layer thickness. Inserting a thin porous TiO2 layer in to a thin bi-layer device increases the QE by a factor of five. The improved device shows peak QE and monochromatic power conversion efficiencies of over 11% and 1% at 440nm respectively. The device produced a short-circuit current density of 300μAcm-2, a fill factor of 0.24 and an open-circuit voltage of 0.8V under AM1.5 illumination. The fill factor is increased from 0.24 to 0.40 by introducing an additional dip-coating layer and overall power conversion efficiency is increased by 50%. However, the device produced degraded current-voltage characteristics. We investigate this using an alternative polymers and different top contact metals.

JD's Market says the U.S. Department of Agriculture has ordered it to pay $29,214 for allowing undercover personnel to buy the items during a compliance check. It filed a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Seattle this week arguing that the fine is excessive and violates the Constitution.
Its attorney, Kenneth Kagan, says the market serves a wide array of African and South Asian customers with food they can't easily find elsewhere in the neighborhood. He says the fine is disproportionate to the offense and would devastate the market.

IRON MAN MARK III
MARVEL LEGENDS (HASBRO)
“Tony Stark takes on the world’s worst villains in the Mark 3 suit: a technological wonder equipped with a variety of stunning enhancements and upgrades.”
Back in the early days of this great Legends review journey, when I still was young and hopeful about Marvel Legends, I discussed the earliest days of the MCU, back when it was just Iron Man. Hasbro didn’t quite have their game down at that point, and while the tie-in figures for Iron Man weren’t bad, there’s certainly some room for updating at this point. I already looked at Iron Monger, but I’m finally circling back around with a look at the title character, sporting his fancy (at the time, anyway) Mark III armor. Let’s have a look at that one!
THE FIGURE ITSELF
Iron Man Mark III is the second-to-last of the five single-packed standard release figures in the Infinity Saga sub-line of Marvel Legends. He’s the second of the two Iron Man offerings as well, and only the third officially Iron Man-branded offering under the Legends banner. He’s based on his appearance in the final third or so of the first film, when Tony’s gotten the armor up and running, but it hasn’t yet taken the beating it would during the battle with Iron Monger. The figure stands 6 1/2 inches tall and he has 33 points of articulation. The articulation scheme marks the really big improvement here. He takes a few pages out of the Mark VII’s book in terms of layout and structure, but also adds in drop hips, a shoulder armor structure similar to the way the Classified Series has been handling them, and just generally a greater range of motion on all of the joints. The Mark VII was pretty great, and this one just does a little bit better than that. His all-new sculpt does quite a nice job of capturing the suit’s design from the movie, properly machined and geometric. As with the VII, the III benefits from a much better scaling to the rest of the Legends line than other MCU Iron Men, which is certainly a plus. Not quite so much a plus on my figure (and hopefully only on my figure) was the big glob of glue on the front of his full helmeted head. I was able to remove it most of the way using a knife, but it was certainly no fun, and it results in my figure looking just a touch rougher than I’d like it to. Beyond that, the QC does seem okay on the figure. His color work is generally pretty decent. I quite like the metallic red plastic, and the application on the gold paint is overall pretty cleanly handled. I also like how they’ve used the printing to do the arc reactor, giving it more of an actual illuminated effect. The Mark III is packed with an alternate head with the mask flipped up, two sets of hands (fists and open for blast), and three swappable plates for the right forearm, allowing for collapsed, rocket launching, and shield. I was genuinely surprised by the lack of any repulser effects, but I’m not unhappy with the selection we got.
THE ME HALF OF THE EQUATION
I fondly remember my Prototype Iron Man from the ’08 line, but, much like Monger, I knew there was definite room for an upgrade. With all the fancy suits that have followed, it can be easy to overlook the Mark III and its importance in the grand scheme of things, but I’m certainly glad Hasbro didn’t, and finally gave us a really good version of the armor.
Thanks to my sponsors over at All Time Toys for setting me up with this figure to review. If you’re looking for cool toys both old and new, please check out their website.

Dental Care for Children with Special Needs
Every child deserves a healthy and happy smile, and this includes children with special needs. While dental care is crucial for everyone, it can be more challenging for parents and caregivers to navigate when a child has special requirements.
However, with the right knowledge and support, maintaining good oral health for children with special needs is entirely achievable. In this article, we will explore the importance of dental care for these children and provide practical tips for ensuring their dental well-being.
Why Dental Care Matters
Oral health is an integral part of overall health, and it’s especially important for children with special needs. These children may face unique challenges, such as sensory sensitivities, communication difficulties, or medical conditions that affect their oral health. Neglecting dental care can lead to various complications, including tooth decay, gum disease, and even systemic health issues.
Tooth decay, for example, can cause pain and discomfort, which may exacerbate behavioral issues in children with special needs. It can also impact their ability to eat, speak, and socialize comfortably. Furthermore, untreated dental problems can result in more significant health issues, affecting the child’s overall quality of life.
Tips for Effective Dental Care
- Begin dental care early. Even before the first tooth erupts, gently clean your child’s gums with a soft cloth or a finger brush. This helps your child become accustomed to the sensation of oral care.
- Schedule regular dental check-ups for your child. Dentists experienced in treating children with special needs can provide tailored care and guidance. These visits allow early detection of dental issues and promote preventive care.
- Many children with special needs may have sensory sensitivities. Talk to your dentist about these sensitivities so they can adapt their approach accordingly. Using softer toothbrushes, offering choices of flavored toothpaste, or allowing your child to hold a mirror during the examination can make the experience more comfortable.
- Visual aids like social stories or visual schedules can help prepare your child for dental visits. These tools can reduce anxiety and make the experience more predictable.
- Establish a consistent oral hygiene routine at home. Brushing teeth should be a part of your child’s daily schedule. Use a timer or a favorite song to make brushing time fun and engaging.
- Be mindful of your child’s diet. Limit sugary snacks and beverages, as these can increase the risk of tooth decay. Opt for tooth-friendly alternatives like fruits and vegetables.
- Some children with special needs may require oral appliances, such as braces or mouthguards. Consult with a dentist who specializes in treating children with special needs to ensure these devices are fitted and maintained correctly.
- If your child is on medication, be aware of its potential side effects on oral health, such as dry mouth. Talk to your dentist about strategies to mitigate these effects.
- Use positive reinforcement techniques to reward your child for good oral hygiene habits. Praise, small rewards, or a favorite activity after dental care can motivate your child to cooperate.
- Be a strong advocate for your child’s dental health. Stay informed, ask questions, and communicate openly with your child’s dental care team. Your proactive involvement can make a significant difference.
In conclusion, dental care is vital for children with special needs to ensure their overall health and well-being. By starting early, seeking specialized care when necessary, and implementing a consistent oral hygiene routine, you can help your child maintain a bright and healthy smile. Remember that patience, understanding, and a supportive dental team are key elements in ensuring the best possible dental care for your child with special needs.

Designed by Stuart Silk Architects in 2018, Yellowstone Residence is a 6,100-sqft (567-sqm) house perched at 8,100 feet (2,470 meters) on a mountainside in the Madison Range of Montana, USA.
The exterior of the house is a composition of core-ten steel and board-formed concrete – materials which metaphorically embrace the harshness of the site and its immediate environment. The building is organized by a massive concrete wall which cleaves the house and extends into the landscape to the north and south. Approached alongside the wall, the entrance is carved between the wall and a faceted perpendicular concrete volume which recalls the boulders strewn about the site. The wall extends thru the living room, where it directs the view across a timbered valley, directly toward the 9,800’ summit of Pioneer Mountain and the sky itself. The core-ten was selected to merge the home with the rocky soil becoming an outgrowth of its site.
One enters the upper floor of this two-story home. The principal spaces are the 15-foot tall living room flanked by the 11-foot tall volumes containing the kitchen/dining room to the west and by the master bedroom suite to the east. The lower floor contains the entertainment room, three guest suites, and a bunk room. To maintain privacy the home is nearly opaque on the entry side of the building except for a tall narrow slot of glass in the faceted concrete and a two-sided projecting corner window that provides views to the north and east from the master bathroom. The two ceiling heights modulates the composition and is a subliminal reminder of the hierarchical structure of the surrounding mountains.

Pennsylvania lawmakers have plenty of abortion proposals to offer the next governor
Pennsylvania’s current abortion law appears to be staying in place for now. Gov. Tom Wolf has repeatedly said he’ll veto any new restrictions on the procedure. It is currently allowed during the first and second trimesters of pregnancy
He’s vetoed three restriction proposals during his tenure. Republican lawmakers who backed them out tacitly admit they’re unwilling to try again before Wolf leaves office in January.
But they have kept up a steady stream of proposals. Friday’s U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning federal abortion protections has renewed conversations around them.
GOP lawmakers have offered seven bills to restrict abortion or public funding for the procedure since the start of last year. Another five from Democrats would expand access.
Under some Republican-backed measures, women would not be able to get abortions after six weeks of pregnancy or solely based on a fetal Down Syndrome diagnosis. Others would change the state constitution to remove any legal right to the procedure.
Maria Gallagher of the anti-abortion group Pennsylvania Pro Life Federation said she supports another idea: increasing public funding for crisis pregnancy centers. The organizations running them encourage women to pursue abortion alternatives like adoption.
Pennsylvania is 1 of 14 states that directly fund such groups, according to a report from women's rights advocacy group The Alliance.
“[We want to] ensure that every woman in Pennsylvania gets help and assistance for her children,” Gallagher said.
“I believe women deserve better than abortion. Abortion does not solve problems. It only creates more problems,” she added.
Rep. Melissa Shusterman (D-Chester) is sponsoring efforts to boost public funding for abortion providers, arguing it would give pregnant women more choices.
“We are funding centers that claim to help with abortion care and they end up being centers that do not offer any medical guidance or procedure for family planning,” Shusterman said.
Currently, women in Pennsylvania can have an abortion before they hit 24 weeks of pregnancy.
State-sponsored health insurance will cover the procedure, but only if the life of the mother is in danger or if a pregnancy resulted from rape or incest.
Most neighboring states have similar protections, but Ohio’s legislature wants a court to lift a stay on legislation banning abortion after six weeks. West Virginia’s state constitution does not offer the right to an abortion.
What happens in 2023 depends on who wins the Governor’s mansion this fall. The Republican candidate, state Sen. Doug Mastriano (R-Franklin), wants abortion banned after six weeks of pregnancy. Democrat Josh Shapiro, the current state Attorney General, would keep the current law in place.
Even if Shapiro wins, some Republicans say they’ll push for installing “sanctity of life” protections in the state constitution.
Two such proposals are currently pending. If lawmakers pass them this year and again next year, voters could weigh in on abortion restrictions as early as the spring.
Melissa Reed, president of Planned Parenthood Keystone, said the group expects 8,500 more people will now start seeking abortion in Pennsylvania. Reed said most of the people will likely come from West Virginia, Ohio and possibly Kentucky.
“We’ve had several people from Texas. People will travel if they have family or friends that they can stay with, “ Reed said.
To prepare for the end of Roe v. Wade, the reproductive health provider has been expanding access at its clinics in Warminster, Bensalem, Wilkes-Barre, Allentown, York and Reading. They are also opening a new site in Lancaster later this year. The group is also providing abortion via telehealth and mailing abortion medication directly to patients.
Allentown Women’s Center, a reproductive health clinic that serves Lehigh Valley, wrote a community Facebook post telling patients that they will continue to provide abortions.
“This decision will make abortion harder or impossible to access for some state residents, and the need for travel would increase the ultimate cost. The biggest call to action at this time is donating to local abortion funds.”
Pennsylvania has 22 abortion providers. Nineteen of them are east of Harrisburg,the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
“We’re devastated and we’re angry about this unjust decision and how it will really harm people across the nation, but we are laser focused on being here for anyone who needs abortion care in Pennsylvania,” Reed said.
Republican state lawmakers
House and Senate Republicans said Friday’s court ruling allows states like Pennsylvania to be the ultimate decider on abortion. While a change isn’t likely anytime soon, the House GOP signaled it stands ready to pursue further restrictions when the time is right.
“This ruling presents a necessary opportunity to examine our existing abortion law, and discussions around possible changes are already underway,” the caucus said in a statement.
Senate Majority Leader Kim Ward (R-Westmoreland) signaled she supports the current constitutional amendment proposals. Both would ban any right to abortion from taking root in state law. West Virginia voters approved a similar move in 2018.
“Pennsylvania’s current law will remain intact until the governor is willing to work with the legislature in a bipartisan manner, or the legislature passes a constitutional amendment that gives the citizens the opportunity to pass a sanctity of life measure via the ballot,” Ward said.
Democratic state lawmakers
Senate Democrats said they were “disheartened” by the ruling, while House Democrats said the decision will “harm women’s access to healthcare.”
“A majority of Pennsylvanians support access to safe health care, but, sadly, the political reality is that Republicans are more worried about the special interests than people,” the Hose Democratic caucus said in a statement.
Senate Democrats added they’re worried other rights that the Supreme Court granted under the 14th Amendment are under threat.
“Instead of stripping women of their rights and opening the door for others to lose fundamental rights as well, Senate Democrats will use our positions to identify real health challenges and solutions for women in this Commonwealth,” they said.
Gov. Tom Wolf
Wolf took aim at “right-wing extremists” in his statement condemning the Supreme Court’s decision.
“Right-wing extremists have been strategically planning to dismantle decades long decisions to further their agendas and divide our country with policies designed to infringe upon our freedoms,” Wolf said. “They have done so one vote at a time, one election at a time across our beloved nation. We cannot allow this to continue.”
The two-term Democrat also suggested those who live in states with more restrictive abortion laws could seek the procedure in Pennsylvania.
“I vow to protect abortion access and reproductive health care in Pennsylvania,” he said. “To women and pregnant people in surrounding states and across the country where this isn’t the case, you are safe here in the commonwealth.”

Friday’s Quotes for the Chicks
A new baby is like the beginning of all things – wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.
Eda J LeShan
In the chicken world, as it is in the human world, sometimes things don’t always go as planned.
We were scheduled to get our 9 ordered chicks next weekend. It was perfect timing, everyone was going to be home, and the weather would have been a week warmer.
I would have been ready.
Last night I got an emergency call from the local feed store. They had been shipped someone else’s chick shipment and currently had 900 chicks who needed to find homes.
Sure thing, always one to come to the aid of one in need, I grabbed my daughters and we headed down. I had ordered Bared Rocks, Buff Orpingtons, and New Hampshire Reds and while they did have the Rocks and Orpingtons, they did not have the Reds.
No problem, we picked out 3 Rocks and 3 Orpingtons (and we used feather sexing to get the girls, so we’ll see in a few weeks how accurate our sexing skills are.) I was going to leave with just the six that I had ordered but then Addy moseyed over to the crate where the Araucana babies were housed.
For those not familiar with the breed, Araucana chicks look exactly like feathered chipmunks.
“Please mom, Pleeeeeeeeeeese.”
What can I say? We now have 3 Araucana’s (actually to be fair, one snuck in that doesn’t really look like her sisters so I guess we’ll have to wait and see on that little one.)
We currently have 9 babies in a nursery. All full of fluff and potential –
And I’m going to be gone this weekend at a conference (see what I mean about plans?)
The kids and Marc have a long list of things they need to do with these chicks which includes playing with them, making sure they have food and water and taking plenty of photos (they’re only small for so long.)
Even though I’ll be gone for a few days and even though we weren’t expecting them yet, it feels so good and so right to have babies in the house once again.
Be safe and see you all next week.

There have been many incidents near the drum section in tanning industries which have been reported. The main objective is to make a cost efficient and reliable safety system for the workers. The percentage of incidents to fatal has to be reduced. We have developed in two phases. The first phase has a safety gate with laser detection.
The system works on laser detection and operates accordingly. There are two levels of safety systems installed in the drum section:
The first level has a metal gate with laser detection and an industrial alarm. When anyone crosses the gate it is detected and warned by the alarm system. The gate can be controlled by an external switch for the purpose of loading and unloading. The safety gate prevents the victim from slipping and gives a support. In the second level there is a laser detection system, with provision to cut down the power to drum immediately when anyone crosses the second level of laser beam.
The industry has provided us a place in their R&D centre and extended all sorts of support in our project and research work. Implementation of safety aspect in wet drum area of TRUKEM, Chennai, is successfully done and appreciated by United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) Expert.

You are right, I missed that part : "Although in the picture above it looks like the Ninja duct goes all the way down to the motherboard, it is actually an inch above it" So I did not understand how the top fan could still cool something. The top fan is sucking some of the air from the duct near the VRMs ?cmthomson wrote:Because the VRM heat builds up in the top back corner and cooks everything.
I find it a bit contradictory to design a duct that fits very closely on the heatsink (rather than taping losely some cardboard) and not sealing it more on the motherboard side to control the airflow until it's out of the case.
Not exactly, I forgot about the VRM obviously, but I also just thought it would have been easier to cool the CPU, the MCH and the graphic card with a single top fan + duct, rather than using two parallel fans. The VRM's heatsink seems close to the case, did you thought about connecting the two with some copper ?Your ducting ideas are based on the assumption that CPU heat is the problem; this is intuitive but not borne out by experiment. The real culprit seems to be the VRM.
That's a very polite way to say I was being off-topic, which is true BTW . It's just your stack of coins in that place, that reminded me of that strange idea I had when I noticed some turbulence behind a fan even though I had cut every mesh or casing.Interesting ideas, do you think they are applicable to fans and air flow this slow?
About the noise tone, I have to thank you for finding out that website, I had great fun trying to guess the speed of a clicking fan by identifying the mechanical noise frequency as well as being able to ascertain that my screen was buzzing at the refresh rate frequency.
EDIT: Neil, Chris starts his article with
Choosing an Intel dual-core makes perfect sense as they are better in video transcoding than AMD's thanks to longer pipelines. Their dual-core have a not so bad performance/price ratio compared to AMD's dual-core when you take that into account. Obviously that's without taking into account the power consumption.I do a lot of transcoding of audio and video on my home computer, and got tired of the system being unusably slow for hours at a stretch.

1 Package of 10 Seeds
A small, deciduous tree native to southern China, Vietnam, Taiwan and southern Japan with beautiful, deep pink, bell-shaped flowers in spring.
It an outstanding ornamental flowering tree for the warm temperate garden in USDA Zones 8 to 10 and considered the best flowering cherry. Germination: Soak in water for 12-24 hours. Cold stratify in slightly moist sand for 90 days. Sow the seeds the following spring once outdoor temperatures rise above 65F (+18C) during the day and 48F (+8C) at night. Or sow indoors in the propagator or pots. Prepare a pot for each seed. Fill 8-inch plastic pots with garden soil taken from the bed where the trees will eventually be planted. Sow one seed in each pot at a depth of 1 inch. Water the seeds to a depth of 3 inches after planting them. Maintain moisture at a 3-inch depth during the germination process. Place the pots outdoors in a sheltered spot where they will be exposed to direct sun in the morning and afternoon. Protect the seeds from direct sunlight during the hottest part of the day since the soil will warm too quickly and dry out. Watch for sprouting one month after sowing. Maintain the same light and moisture conditions provided to the seeds during germination until they grow to 4 inches in height. Plant the seedlings into a sunny, sandy bed at least 75 days before the first frost in autumn, or shelter the seedlings in a cold frame until the following spring if it is too late in the year for planting.

Russia must drop its ban on the Jehovah’s Witnesses, release the 91 members of the group in its jails, and stop prosecuting citizens for belonging to the movement, the European Court of Human Rights ruled Tuesday.
The court also stated that it was illegal for the Russian Federation to ban the group’s books, periodicals and its official website.
Russia pulled out of the Council of Europe, of which the ECHR is a component, in March after it invaded Ukraine. The 46-member Council of Europe is separate from the European Union, of which Russia never had been a member.
The ECHR said Russia has the right to appeal the decision within 90 days, triggering a process that might delay implementation of the ruling’s terms.
With Russia no longer a member of the Council, at war against Ukraine, and regularly threatening Western European nations, the chances of the judgement coming to fruition are slim.
At first allowed to operate publicly following the fall of the former Soviet Union, Russia banned the Witnesses in 2017, calling it an “extremist organization.” The Russian Supreme Court ordered its entities liquidated.

Last November, Secretary of State Antony Blinken designated Russia a “country of particular concern” for human rights violations involving religious groups, including the Witnesses.
The decision, voted 6-1 by judges, also ordered Russia to return confiscated properties or pay adequate compensation. The court ordered the Russians to pay $63.6 million in damages, chiefly for seized property, and $3.7 million in non-pecuniary damages.
The ECHR said Russia’s “forced dissolution” of the Witnesses operations in the country “was not merely the result of a neutral application” of the law, but rather demonstrated “a policy of intolerance by Russian authorities” towards the group.
The human rights tribunal also said individual believers who appealed their convictions were members of a valid religious organization.
The ECHR found that Russian courts “did not identify any word, deed or action by the [Witnesses] which would be motivated or tainted by violence, hatred or discrimination against others.”
Although the Jehovah’s Witnesses profess the teachings and name of Jesus, the Russian Orthodox Church and many other Christian bodies condemn it as heretical for its denial of the Trinity, a doctrine the Witnesses themselves condemn as unbiblical.
Witnesses spokesman Jarrod Lopes said in a statement his co-religionists “around the world are thrilled to hear about today’s comprehensive judgment against Russia. We hope Russia will comply with the Court’s direction to halt the nationwide persecution and to release all 91 Witnesses in prison.”
In a separate action, the ECHR ruled against Lithuania for denying a military-service exemption to Stanislav Teliatnikov, a member of the group. The religion practices non-violence and refuses military service.

I don’t know about you, but I have grown tired of a certain conversation that many of us participate in daily. It goes something like this:
“Hi, how are you?”
“Fine, thanks. And you?”
I doubt that most of us are honestly fine when we tell our peers that we are. We all have things racing through our minds, from paying the bills to getting to our next appointment on time. Daily life can often be so overwhelming that we forget to stop, take a breath and genuinely enjoy a conversation with someone.
Of course, general pleasantries are not the only things we might miss out on while living inside our heads. A quirky comment that might give us the best laugh of the day, a moment where our help might be greatly needed or a chance to sit down and relax with a friend are easily lost when we skim the surface in our interactions with other human beings. Sure, it can be difficult to remove ourselves from the stresses and worries of our own individual lives, but it is important to do so if we want to really live life.
I have been blessed with a passion for working with people who help me remember that living (and enjoying) life is more important than catching your favorite TV shows or taking yet one more trip to the mall. For the past few years, I have been lucky enough to work with some of the most amazing individuals with a wide range of differing abilities. These individuals (people with Autism, Down Syndrome, etc), who frequently have to face adversity, never fail to show me what true happiness is all about. Their ability to enjoy their lives to the fullest and make the most of everything they can is inspiring, and it reminds me that I should be doing the exact same thing.
Thus, my position at Hammer Residences (a non-profit organization aiding the hopes and dreams of individuals with disabilities) has been a perfect match. Each day that I go to work, I am given the opportunity to put aside my worries and enjoy time with four amazing people who never fail to make me smile. Rarely do I encounter the “fine” conversation in all of its superficial variations. No, I spend my time dancing, swimming and visiting the best places in the Twin Cities.
I couldn’t ask for better people with whom to work, people who make me feel genuinely happy and peaceful simply through their enjoyment of our loud, fast-paced and crazy world. Being present in the moment is a gift, and thanks to my friends at Hammer I am able to enjoy this gift on a regular basis.

Griset, Ernest Henry
. McLoughlin Brothers . New York
PZ8.2.A254 1900f (Carlson Fable Collection, BIC bldg)
MetadataShow full item record
This book is almost identical with the McLoughlin Brothers edition I have listed already under the same year with a question mark. In comparison, this book has a different, cream-colored cover. It has the same end papers as the Lien copy of that book. Its paper--and so its illustrations--are far superior to the paper and illustrations in any of those copies. The colored frontispiece illustration of TMCM is present. The book has received a good deal of pencilling from a young hand. Yet again I thought I was picking up an extra copy of a book I already had. Surprise!
