[Review]Fantasy island evokes the spirit of youthDon’t expect too much from this pre-teen flick if you are a down-to-earth person, as “Nim’s Island” is full of fantasy and imagination.
The island is in the middle of nowhere, inhabited by 11-year-old Nim Rusoe (Abigail Breslin) and her father Jack (Gerard Butler).
Wild animals live with them on this coral island. There’s Fred the iguana, Chica the turtle, Galileo the pelican and Selki the sea lion. They can all sing, dance and communicate with Nim.
Father and daughter live in a secret tree house that they built on the island. They’ve lived there ever since Nim lost her mother when she was young. Nim was told that her mother was swallowed by a whale.
Miracles happen on this island ? Nim defeats a bunch of buccaneer pirates with the help of her wildlife friends.
Then Jack, an oceanographer, gets lost at sea during a heavy storm but he gets back to the island unscathed after being adrift at sea without any food.
While Nim’s dad is lost at sea, Alexandra Rover (Jodie Foster), a big-time writer based in San Francisco, contacts the tree house. Rover created Nim’s favorite adventure character, Alex Rover.
Alexandra wrote Jack an e-mail asking about his research on volcanoes for her upcoming novel. Later, she is the one helping Nim when her dad doesn’t come back to the island.
Casting Jodie Foster as Alexandra is one of film’s flaws, in my opinion.
The actress is more at home playing serious roles rather than over-the-top comic parts.
Well, that’s what the film is all about ? imaginary and fanciful adventures. And trust.
That’s the message that directors Jennifer Flackett and Mark Levin want to communicate, perhaps, especially to those adults who have lost their child-like sense of adventure.
In the film, Jack cries out, “Adventures are all about trust” and “Be the hero of your own life story.”
Besides, even if you usually prefer films that offer more of a slice of contemporary life, there is nothing better than to take off on a refreshing journey to a coral island.
The scenic landscape definitely cools you down in the summer heat.
The film was shot on the Gold Coast and Hinchinbrook Island in Queensland, Australia.
There’s a reason for setting the film Down Under. The film is based on Aussie writer Wendy Orr’s 2001 children’s book of the same title.
Nim’s Island may seem an old-fashioned adventure story, somewhat like Steven Spielberg’s “Hook” (2001), especially when you compare it to modern adventure films like “The Chronicles of Narnia” or “The Lord of the Rings.”
Adventures that take place in Peter Pan’s Neverland are similar to those on Nim’s island: Both stories encourage you to rediscover the spirit of youth.
And how can anyone forget the happily-ever-after endings to fantasies? “The writer [Alexandra], and the scientist [Jack]. That’s how their story began. How does it end, exactly? Nobody knows,” says Nim at the end of the film.

While it is not exactly clear what has caused the substantial sell off in the EURUSD over the past several hours, even with the explicit support of China of all insolvent European states, the news that the German constitutional court in Karlsruhe is about to commence hearing a lawsuit contesting the legality of the Greek bailout is certainly not helping the euro. As Athens News reports, “the suit was filed last July by a group of five Eurosceptics led by economist Joachim Starbatty. According to the plaintiffs, the financial help package for Greece runs contrary to article 125 of the EU Treaty – the so-called no-bailout clause – which does not allow the EU or a member state to undertake the responsibility of covering the debts of another member state.” Explaining his lawsuit to Athens News, Starbatty said that “The German constitutional court will discuss the break of the no-bailout clause, the inflationary bias of purchasing government bonds by the European Central Bank, the danger of uncontrollable financial obligations and the rights of national parliaments of both debtor and creditor countries.” And if there is one thing Germans are never happy to hear about, it is “inflationary bias” of any one thing.
So far the suit had been delayed, however the fact that the hearing is coming just in time for the passage of the second Greek bailout is likely about to ruffle a few feathers. As Anotnis Karampatzos, a law lecturer at the University of Athens says, “Whatever the outcome of this dispute might be, one thing is sure: the verdict of the constitutional court will affect the political scene in Germany as well as in Europe. This is not only because of the great importance of the case itself, but also because of the status of this court, whose decisions are always treated as landmarks in European jurisprudence.”


In this article we analyze some important voltage regulator circuits using discrete components such as transistors, zener diodes, resistors etc. These regulators are highly flexible with their design specifications, and can be customized for generating any level of constant voltage and constant current, as desired.
What is a Regulator
The main function of a DC regulator circuit is to generate a voltage and current that is fixed and constant at a certain specified levels. Thus, a regulator is used in a power supply to keep the output voltage or current within certain fixed limits.
Also Recommended for you: Voltage Regulator Circuits using Transistor and Zener Diode
A perfect power supply would have zero internal resistance (ideal voltage source) or indefinite internal resistance (ideal current source), causing the output voltage or current to be independent of load. These supplies would have to be able to produce endless quantities of power, and these would, obviously, simply exist in theory only.
When a really pure DC supply is required, linear regulators often become useful since they produce lesser noise, ripple, and better control. These regulators are typically three-terminal devices (input, common ground, and output), and therefore only a handful of external components are required (the popular 7800 and 7900 series regulators ICs just require a couple of capacitors of 0.01uF to 1 uF, and only under specific conditions.)
These regulators could literally exhibit far below 1% regulation while also providing considerable current limiting and integrated fault prevention feature. There are also switching regulators and voltage converter ICs that really need very few external capacitors and nothing else. These inexpensive regulators and converters make it feasible and simple to provide discrete circuits with voltages which cannot be supplied through a system's primary power source. Such configurations frequently avoid power supply constraints, allowing greater design freedom.
The most basic regulator employs a two-terminal device such as a zener diode with the characteristic of keeping a constant voltage across it. Figure 1 below depicts the basic circuit.
Zener diodes could be connected in series in any configuration for achieving even higher voltages. A current-limiting (ballast) resistor must be incorporated, as these devices would try to retain constant terminal voltage by pulling whatsoever current is available from the power source.
Efficiency is essential.
The regulating device's impedance might be quite low, and it could rapidly drain catastrophic quantities of current in the absence of a limiting resistor, and get damaged.
Therefore a limiting resistor becomes necessary for a zener diode. Because the regulating component is shunted across the load, this type of zener circuit (Fig. 1) is often called a shunt-type regulator.
This method works extremely well for low-power applications when just a few milliamperes of current are needed and regulation (% change of voltage or current under different loads) of just few percent is enough.
Since the entire current flowing through the limiting resistor is the sum of the load current plus the regulator current required to maintain the voltage, efficiency is often poor, particularly at low loads.
High amounts of current is able to pass through the regulator when the load is disconnected or changed. While this is not an issue for tiny circuits such as an oscillator circuit that draws only a few milliamperes, it can be an issue in a circuit like a tiny digital device that might require around 1 amp at 5 volts.
In some circumstances (LED lights, on-off switches), the system may use less than 50 milliamps in standby mode and 1 amp in active mode. A zener-diode regulator would be highly ineffective in such cases as it will have to pass roughly 1 amp through the zener while the system were idle and therefore not consuming its operational current.
In such scenario if the input voltage was 12 volts, the efficiency of the 12V to 5V regulator might be extremely low due to the presence of a constant load of above 1 amp on the 12 volt supply, even if the load on the 5 volt supply side was small.
This equates to 12 watts or even more heat creation, which is an extremely inefficient condition.
An easy remedy is to employ an active regulator which might not demand so much current to operate.
It should be noted, however, that there will always be some voltage loss across the regulator. Because the regulator circuit is an amplifier, it will itself require some voltage to function.
The pass transistor's base-emitter voltage is 0.6 to 0.7 volts, and there will be some voltage loss in the bias resistors. The input voltage must be consistently at least 2 to 5 volts higher than the highest anticipated output voltage; it must never go below this level or else the output control will be affected.
This minimum voltage must always be maintained under minimal-input-line-voltage situations at full load. Below this threshold, instantaneous changes owing to input-supply ripple, load transients, and so on will result in a loss of regulation ( "drop-out ").
Regulator using Transistor Emitter Follower
In Fig. 2 below, an emitter follower transistor is employed to minimize the current used by the regulator device. The zener diode is receiving 10 or 20 mA. This voltage is applied to the base of the transistor, which is referred to as the "pass" transistor since it is positioned to pass the load current.
This could be a high-power transistor rated to handle many amps of current.
The load current is made up of the collector current, which makes up the bulk of the current, and the base current. The base current is equal to the collector current divided by the transistor's DC gain (or beta, which is normally equal to 50).
Assuming the transistor has a current gain β of 50 and a load current of 1 amp, the collector current can be calculated as given below
Collector current = β/(β+1) = 1 amp or 50/51 amps.
Base current can be calculated using the following formula:
Base Current = 1 /(β +1) or 1/51 amp.
This is somewhat less than 20 milliamperes. Figure 2 above depicts the basic regulator design.
Using a Darlington with Pass Transistor
Figure 3 below illustrates how an auxiliary transistor could be used as an intermediate stage if the pass transistor happens to be a very high current, low hFE device.
The intermediate transistor is configured as a Darlington pair with the pass transistor significantly increase its current gain and also enhance its current transfer ability.
It should be noted that when there is no load, the only current consumed by the circuit is that of the zener diode only.
Creating an Adjustable Regulator
It is also possible to attach a variable resistor or a pot across the zener diode and if you connect the wiper of the pot to the base of the transistor, you can achieve a variable output voltage as depicted in Fig. 4 below.
The issue with this circuit is that it is no better (in fact, somewhat worse) than a zener diode as a regulator. There is no system in place to ensure that the output voltage to the load remains constant.
Furthermore, the base-emitter drop in the pass transistor causes a tiny reduction in output voltage (0.6 to 0.7 volts per transistor typically). If the potentiometer is being used to change the output voltage, you may find an extra loss due to the pot resistance.
This resistance results in a decrease in regulation. The regulator has no way of knowing if the output voltage has dropped. What's truly needed is a means to sense the output voltage, compare it to a set reference, and change the output voltage to the appropriate value automatically.
This necessitates the use of a feedback mechanism to regulate the output voltage. With a few more elements, we'll show you a really simple approach to achieve this.
Regulator with Feedback for Enhancing Output Accuracy
Figure 5 below depicts a very basic feedback regulator wherein the output voltage has some control over its exact level. R1 and R2 form a voltage divider that samples the output voltage and sends it to transistor Q1's base.
The drop across zener diode D1 holds the emitter of Q1 at a set and regulated voltage. The bias current from R3 and the emitter current from Q1 cause this dip.
This drop is generated by R3's bias current and Q1's emitter current.
If the output voltage drops, Q1 would be switched off, allowing less current to flow via bias resistor R4. The collector voltage will increase, enhancing the voltage at the base of pass transistor Q2 and, hence, the emitter of Q2, that tends to be the power supply regulator's output terminal.
This voltage increase will be sent to the base of Q1, compensating for the original dip. The total impact will result in an increased output voltage stability.
100% Perfection is not Possible
This adjustment, however, is not the ideal one. The regulator circuit is a limited gain feedback amplifier. Because the voltage gain is mostly provided by Q1, the circuit could have a net open-loop voltage gain of may be around 20-100, depending on Q1 gain, power supply load, zener diode impedance, and other parameters. Loop gain can be defined as the product of total gain multiplied by the feedback factor.
In this situation, the feedback factor is the ratio R2 /(R1 + R2). Everything else being equal, the greater the loop gain, the better the regulation. In reality, this circuit will offer a 10X or greater enhancement in regulation compared to the earlier circuits. However, t his circuit has certain restrictions, a few of which are as follows:
- In Q1, the output voltage cannot be lower than the zener voltage + the base-emitter loss.
- There is no current limiting or short-circuit protection. Since there will always be a voltage loss across R4, the maximum regulated output voltage is restricted.
- Because the feedback factor R2 /(R1 + R2) declines with increasing output voltage, regulation becomes gradually worse.
- Because part of the bias currents (via R3 and R4) originate from the unregulated side, the output would be impacted by fluctuations in the input voltage, worsening regulation.
These issues could be resolved with circuit adjustments and with the installation of a few additional components. The first problem can be solved by using a low voltage zener diode, even though the best reliable zeners are approximately 5 to 8 volts.
It is feasible to utilize a secondary floating power supply circuit to deliver voltages below (negative) ground and transfer R2 to a negative voltage rather than ground.
Connect a resistance to the input, and the voltage drop across it can work as a function of load current which can influence the regulator output. Extra open-loop gain could be obtained by using additional transistors or an op-amp.
Figure 6 below depicts one way for incorporating current limiting. Resistor R4 is connected in series with a PNP transistor, Q1, which serves as a current source.
This resistor is required to restrict the current sent to D1. At the base of Q1, diodes D2 and D3 generate a very constant voltage which is 1.4 volts lower than the regulator input voltage.
Q1 conducts so long as the voltage drop caused by the pass -transistor collector current is less than around 0.7 volts across sampling resistor R5. As the load current builds, the drop over R5 rises to the extent where it begins to cut off Q1.
R4 can now force the base voltage of pass transistor Q2 to drop, causing the regulator output voltage to decrease. Because this current also biases reference zener diode D1, the reference voltage falls, lowering the output voltage. The current taken from the regulator could thus be limited in this manner.
A 0.7 volt drop across R5 will initiate current limiting, hence R5 should have a value of 0.7 /(Current Limit), or around 0.7 ohms for 1 amp, 0.35 ohms for 2 amps, and so on.
Using an Op Amp
Figure 7 below shows how an op-amp can be introduced to enhance control. Take note that the gain will now increase drastically. Nevertheless, frequency correction will almost certainly be required in certain circumstances, as loop phase shift may produce oscillation under some or all stages of loading.
Although the bias for the op-amp can be supplied from the regulator directly, an additional auxiliary low-power supply is usually desirable.
A negative source may be required for the op-amp, particularly in case the regulator is intended to be adjustable or to swing down to zero volts output, as in a laboratory power supply.
This concludes our article on simple voltage regulator circuits. If you have any queries or modifications related to the above concepts please feel free to comment below for quick replies.
Simple Switchable Voltage Regulator Circuit
Referring to the figure above, it is possible to build a three-step voltage controlled supply by combining three Zener diodes in series with a switch and with a few other readily accessible components.
The power supply can be a 12V or a 15 volts DC.
When switch S1 is set to the 6 volt mode, the 6V DC from the supply source passing via resistor R1 biases input transistor T1. The same 6V is replicated at the circuit output.
Since T1 is configured as an emitter follower, the forward voltage of the transistor base/emitter leads which is 0.6 V will be deducted from the 6V, and the final output will be 6 - 0.6 =5.4 V.
The output is increased by 3 volts when a 3-volt Zener (D2) is introduced to the circuit when the switch S1 is moved to the 9-volt position. By including a second 3 volt Zener, the transistor will be biased at 12 volts when the switch is pushed to the 12 volt position. The circuit's output is filtered by capacitor C1.

Eagles fall 72-45 to Kingdom Prep
Published 12:24 pm, Saturday, November 3, 2012
Injuries and turnovers took their toll on the Eagles Friday night as they dropped their district match-up against the Kingdom Prep Warriors 72-45.
“We ran the ball well in the tight formation,” said Eagle head coach Brent Patton. “But we had some fumbles; they gang tackled us and striped the ball. They were able to capitalize on those turnovers; we couldn’t stop their offense. They did a really good of spreading us out, Kingdom Prep’s spread back did a good job of being patient, and he found the running lanes. He did a real good job of reading our defense and exploiting it.”
Patton also said that losing running back and linebacker Alex Siesmore to an elbow injury in the third quarter really dealt a big blow to the game; especially with an ill David Landtroop and David Rogers and a hurt Jared Matsen, who seemed to have tweaked his back during warm-up.
The Eagles kept up with Kingdom Prep in the first half as they were both tied at 14-14 at the end of the first quarter. In the second, the Warriors outscored the Eagles 20-12 sending Plainview Christian into the locker room down 34-26 at the half.
At the start of the second half, both teams were neck-and-neck as both teams scored 12 points in the third quarter. But the injuries took effect in the fourth as the Warriors put up 26 extra points in the final quarter with Plainview Christian only putting up seven.
The loss drops the Eagles to 1-1 in district and puts them in a must-win situation next Saturday as Plainview heads to El Paso to take on Jesus Chapel. Plainview will have to win to ensure a playoff spot or they will have to hope that they get picked up as one of the state’s wild card teams.
During the game, Eagle David Rogers led the team by scoring 21 points off three touchdown passes by Landtroop. Rogers racked up 85 yards on four receptions, while Eagles Sean Steffens, who found 32 yards on three catches and Sisemore, who had 30 yards on two catches.
Landtroop completed 10-out-of-19 passes for four touchdowns and 153 passing yards. Landtroop also led the team in rushing with two touchdowns and 162 rushing yards on 16 carries. Before the injury, Sisemore gained 74 yards on 10 carries and scored twice, once with a run and once with the pass.
On defense, Landtroop had one interception and two solo tackles while Rogers picked up two sacks.
Next Saturday, the Eagles will make the long trip to El Paso as kick off against Jesus Chapel is scheduled for 2 p.m.

Most bombs for revenge, vandalism
Published 4:00 am, Thursday, April 20, 1995
1995-04-20 04:00:00 PDT CALIFORNIA; UNITED STATES -- By far, most U.S. bombings are acts of personal revenge or vandalism, according to an analysis of 6,574 bombings reported nationally between 1989 and 1993.
Most of the rest involved extortion, labor disputes, insurance fraud and homicides, according to the study by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms.
Only 194 bombings were related to "protests," the study said, and their number remained relatively flat, from 28 in 1989 to 31 in 1993.
The No. 1 target was mailboxes, followed by residences, vehicles, businesses and schools. Federal and state government buildings accounted for 2 percent of all bombings during the period, according to ATF statistics.

The figures include everything from large firecrackers to plastic explosives, but the vast bulk were crude homemade devices like pipe bombs and bottles filled with flammable liquids.
The number of bombing cases in California has increased by 56 percent over the five-year period, according to the study.
California had the highest number of bombings of any state during that period: 3,171. Illinois was second with 1,719, and Florida third with 1,359. Ranked by bombings per person, though, Illinois was first, followed by California, then Florida.
San Francisco Deputy Chief of Police Diarmuid Philpott, who oversees the department's investigative units, said that during the 1960s and 1970s the police had investigated several high-profile bombings of utilities, banks and police stations.
"We've been very lucky that over the past few years we haven't had any terrorist attacks," he said.<


text: The effects of the GABAB receptor agonist baclofen were investigated on food intake in non-deprived CFLP and C57BL/6 mice. In Experiment 1, baclofen (1–8mg /kg) administered i.p. to CFLP mice, produced a dose-related increase in food intake. The 4 and 8mg/kg doses produced significant increases in cumulative feeding when measure 120min after administration (at least P b 0.05, in each case). In Experiment 2, baclofen (1–10mg/kg), administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) to C57BL/6 mice, also produced a dose-related increase in food intake. The 4mg/kg dose of baclofen significantly increased cumulative food intake at 60min (P b 0.05), while the 2 and 4mg/kg doses significantly increased cumulative food intake at 120min (P b 0.01, in each case). The 10mg/kg dose was without effect. These data show that systemic administration of the GABAB agonist baclofen produces an increase in food consumption in two different strains of mice and extend previous observations made in rat to another rodent species.

I recently purchased a 1992 Deville and I'm trying to figure out if it has the optional security system or not. The owner's manual says to test it by rolling down the window and locking the door with the power lock switch. Then unlock the door from the inside and open it with no key in the ignition and the alarm should go off. I tried this and nothing happened. However, I noticed that when the key is in the ON position and the car does the bulb check there is a security light that illuminates. I have a feeling that I have the security system but its broken. Does anyone know anything else I can check to make sure? Thanks.

My first experience with Prague was a little rocky. As soon as I got off the train, a cab driver tried to charge me 50 Euros to drive me 3 miles. I tried some intense haggling and even physically walking away. I eventually got them down to to 40 Euros and made it to my hotel. Once I got out into the city and started walking around though I saw why people love it so much. It really has a unique sort of magic to it.

Kung po or pao prawns is a wonderfully spicy Chinese takeaway favourite that fizzes with Szechuan pepper and is easy to cook at home!
It’s also very quick, it takes around 10 minutes to prepare and all of that can be done in advance, then it takes less than 10 minutes to cook. There ain’t a delivery driver beating that!
Kung Pao Shrimp
I love me a good fakeaway dish, my site is littered with them and good British Chinese dishes are some of my favourites to cook.
My latest offering is a classic British Chinese interpretation of kung po (pao) king prawns.
A delicious stir fry that combines jumbo shrimp in a salty almost sweet sauce loaded with dried chillies, Szechuan pepper and peanuts.
It’s a super quick and simple recipe that shares much in common with my take on Szechuan prawns.
You’ll love this recipe, it’s delicious, and indulgent and will go from your fridge/freezer in right around 20 minutes!
Frequently Asked Questions
What size prawns or shrimp do you use?
You want some big old prawns for this recipe, I use size 8-12 prawns. The sizing refers to how many prawns you get per pound (with the shell and head on).
Can I use frozen prawns?
Absolutely, I only ever use prawns from the freezer and I never defrost them before I am ready to cook either.
I just drop them in a colander and run some cold water over them whilst I prepare the remaining ingredients.
I can’t find toasted peanuts, what’s the best way to toast them?
If I need to toast peanuts I put them in a tray and cook them in an air fryer at 180°C or 350°F for 6-8 minutes giving them a shake every 2 minutes.
You can roast them in the oven but that has a huge energy cost for so little produce. Instead I would toast them in a dry wok, but you need to keep them moving all of the time or they will burn.
Can I sub out the Szechuan pepper with anything else?
No Szechuan pepper is absolutely unique and it has no comparable alternative.
Rice is the obvious thing to serve with these kung po king prawns, and they are pictured here served with my take on egg-fried rice.
But there is plenty of flaovur in that sauce so you could easily get away with plain steamed or boiled rice!
If you want to go full-on British Chinese takeaway style how about some salt and pepper chips?
Don’t forget the prawn crackers and shrimp toast!
I only name-check brands of equipment if I think that they make a material difference to a recipe. But if you have any questions feel free to ask them in the comments section below the recipe.
- Colander or sieve to defrost the prawns if required.
- Weighing scales and or measuring cups and spoons.
- Stirring and serving spoons.
- Chopping board.
- Kitchen knife.
- Kitchen paper.
- A method to toast the peanuts if you do not buy toasted nuts. You can use an air fryer, oven or in the wok.

There are only three shopping days remaining until Christmas Eve! Have you purchased and wrapped all of the presents on your Gift List?
Some of us, of course, confront more difficult challenges than others in choosing appropriate gifts for recipients. But imagine how tough it must be to select a gift for the world’s largest communist nation!
In a sense, that’s exactly what Google may have delivered for the government of China. On December 13th, the internet services giant announced that it will open a center for basic Artificial Intelligence research in Beijing.
So why is this a gift? Because Google’s services, like Facebook’s, are banned in China. And on December 18th, just five days after Google’s announcement, a Chinese official confirmed the ban by declaring:
That’s a question maybe in many people’s minds, why Google, why Facebook are not yet working and operating in China. If they want to come back, we welcome (them). The condition is that they have to abide by Chinese law and regulations. That is the bottom line. And also that they would not do any harm to Chinese national security and national consumers’ interests.
It’s possible, of course, that Google’s decision will help it gain access to the Chinese market in 2018. If that occurs, its AI Center may be perceived in retrospect as a profitable investment in a new business market.
But what if the Chinese government doesn’t open its market to Google next year? Perhaps the center’s Chinese technology specialists will provide valuable developmental expertise to the American firm. And perhaps those same specialists will learn just as much from Google.
At the moment, though, Google has made a commitment to open an advanced research center in a nation that bans its services from its entire domestic economy. Unless Google’s commitment eventually “pays off” in some substantive manner, it isn’t very difficult to characterize its decision as a gift.

It’s an activity that will teach them to pay attention to details, to draw, to recognize patterns and shapes and to make visual judgements. Your child won’t make perfect copies, but their reasonable approximations should be praised. I tried to remind them to copy shapes, colors and sizes. You can make the drawings more or less complicated and build up to actual drawings of flowers, animals or houses. Older kids can get much more complicated versions. Certain drawings will challenge more. My oldest (almost 5) was able to do pretty well copying. My youngest (just 3) struggled more…part of it was her innate desire to do her own thing. It was a fun learning activity for both.

Combined pain medication and stomach protection are dangerous for the intestine
For years, experts have been warning of the health risks from pain relievers. Researchers from Austria have now been able to show that the combined use of certain painkillers and gastric protection drugs damage the intestine. To protect it, another drug is needed.
Pain reliever with dangerous side effects
Health experts repeatedly point out the sometimes drastic side effects of pain relievers. Recently, scientists from Denmark reported a study that showed that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like diclofenac and ibuprofen increase the risk of cardiac arrest. Patients who take such painkillers are often prescribed additional medications for "stomach protection". However, this combination of drugs damages the intestine, as Austrian researchers now report.
Combination with stomach protection damages the intestine
Millions of people in Germany suffer from joint diseases such as osteoarthritis. For many of them, exercise such as cycling or swimming has a soothing effect.
Many patients with inflammatory joint diseases and pain also take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as the well-known active ingredient diclofenac.
Since these drugs attack the gastric mucosa, a proton pump inhibitor is often also recommended as "stomach protection". However, this combination damages the intestine, as Austrian researchers report in the journal "Gastroenterology".
Colonization of the small intestine with unwanted bacteria
In a joint study, clinical pharmacologist Markus Zeitlinger and gastroenterologist Werner Dolak from MedUni Vienna were able to show that this combination of medications can lead to inflammation in the small intestine.
"Anti-rheumatic drugs can lead to inflammation in the entire gastrointestinal tract, and proton pump inhibitors have a negative effect on the bacterial intestinal flora, so that the small intestine can colonize with unwanted bacteria," says a message from the university.
In this way there is an unhealthy influence on the highly individual microbiome that every person has.
Study participants had to take a small camera
In order to arrive at their results, the scientists examined sixty healthy volunteers over a period of fourteen days, during which the drug-related reactions in the intestine were checked by means of imaging capsule endoscopy.
In this process, a small capsule camera is swallowed, which automatically takes pictures on its way through the gastrointestinal tract and sends them to the outside to a portable data recorder.
The images can then be analyzed on the computer and the camera is naturally eliminated.
Antibiotic for bowel protection
The subjects were first examined using capsule endoscopy and then divided into two groups.
The participants in one group were given the active substances diclofenac and omeprazole as stomach protection and in addition the antibiotic rifaximin, which has shown a beneficial effect on bowel protection in animal models.
The other group received a placebo instead of the antibiotic.
Additional antibiotics protect the intestine
According to the researchers, in about a third of the latter group, marked inflammation in the small intestine was found after another two weeks after another capsule endoscopy.
In the first group, the subjects showed significantly less inflammatory changes, and when they were, they were less severe.
As stated in the MedUni Vienna announcement, the study result confirmed the thesis that the additional administration of rifaximin protects the intestine.
The next step is to conduct a study that examines the therapy concept on regular users of anti-rheumatic drugs.
Taking only with a doctor's prescription
However, health experts warn against taking painkillers permanently. The same also applies to proton pump inhibitors (PPI) such as omeprazole.
The German Society for Gastroenterology, Digestive and Metabolic Diseases (DGVS) recently wrote in a press release: "Recently there have been increasing indications that long-term use of PPIs could cause more side effects than previously known."
But: "In some cases, their use as" stomach protection ", ie as prevention of bleeding from the stomach, triggered by the long-term use of certain drugs such as acetylsalicylic acid or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, is sensible and important," said DGVS expert Professor Dr. med. Matthias Ebert.
In principle, such funds should only be taken if the doctor has prescribed them and their administration is really necessary. (ad)

A controversial plan to complete a missing segment of Melrose Drive has been added to a list of projects Oceanside officials will take with them to Washington, D.C., next month in a search for federal funding.
City Manager Peter Weiss said he added Melrose Drive to a list of six other projects because the City Council majority of Jerry Kern, Jack Feller and Gary Felien “made Melrose a priority.”
“They told us to take all actions to move it forward,” Weiss said.
Mayor Jim Wood and Councilwoman Esther Sanchez are against completing Melrose Drive and Sanchez said she’s contacting staffers for U.S. Sens. Barbara Boxer and Dianne Feinstein, urging them to reject the city’s request.
“I don’t think in the 12 years I’ve been on the council, I’ve ever seen the city manager go forward on something so controversial,” Sanchez said. “It makes us look like idiots. What I’m concerned about is it may threaten our other projects.”
Wood said there’s little chance federal officials will give Oceanside money for a project that many people don’t want.
“I don’t think the feds will give them a dime,” Wood said.
He said he, too, worries other city projects could lose funding as a side effect of the fuss over Melrose Drive.
“That may make people mad enough that they won’t give us money for other projects,” Wood said.
Completing Melrose Drive would create a new link between state Routes 78 and 76, and Kern said only a vocal minority of city residents are against it.
“The plan was always to put Melrose through,” Kern said. “All this fighting and fussing, six months after it goes in, people will think it’s been there forever and not one person will complain that we put Melrose in.”
At the same time the city is seeking federal money to complete Melrose Drive, Kern said he’s looking at the possibility of getting the county to chip in.
“It may be something worth exploring in the future, especially if they’re able to give us money,” Kern said.
Although no formal talks have happened, Kern said he discussed the matter informally with county Supervisor Bill Horn at a recent social gathering.
Kern said county help is warranted because a completed Melrose Drive is listed on both the county and city road plans, and building the missing link would require taking a piece of Guajome County Park for the road.
Wood and Sanchez contend that Melrose Drive will never happen because the city would have to acquire up to 14 segments of private property by eminent domain, which requires a four-fifths vote of the council.
Kern said the county could help with that, as well, by acquiring the land for the city, bypassing the need for a supermajority council vote.
Before any of that can happen, Kern said final design work on the road must be finished.
“There’s nothing that’s going to happen on Melrose for at least a year because we have to do the engineering on it,” Kern said. “It’s slow, steady. You just keep pushing forward to get the road in.”
Although Melrose Drive was included in the wish list for federal funding, Weiss said other projects on the list have a higher priority for federal funding.
Most important is continued funding for the annual Army Corps of Engineers dredging of the city harbor estimated at $2.9 million, Weiss said, and $2.6 million to continue removing brush from the San Luis Rey River for flood protection.
Other projects on the list include money for a water reclamation study, a shoreline preservation study and expansion of the city’s Mission Basin water desalting operation.

Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which you shall proclaim to be holy convocations…
I. Commentators generally on this part of Hebrew law have remarked upon THE SOCIAL, POLITICAL, AND COMMERCIAL BENEFITS RESULTING TO THE JEWISH PEOPLE FROM THESE NATIONAL FESTIVALS AND CONVOCATIONS. They served to unite the nation, cemented them together as one people, and prevented the tendency to the formation of separate cliques and conflicting clans or states. These convocations also had great effect upon the internal commerce of the Hebrew people. They furnished facilities for mutual exchanges, and opened the ways of trade and business between the various sections.
II. There was also A DIRECT RELIGIOUS VALUE AND FORETHOUGHT IN THE APPOINTMENT OF THESE FESTIVALS. They prescribed public consociation in worship. Man is a worshipping being. It is not only his duty, but his nature and native instinct to worship. Mere isolated worship, without association in common set services, soon dwindles, flags, degenerates, and corrupts. Neither does it ever reach that majesty and intense inspiration which comes from open congregation in the same great acts of devotion. "As iron sharpeneth iron, so man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend." And just as the multitude of these mutual sharpeners is increased, will their common devotion be deepened and augmented.
III. I propose to speak more particularly of THE TYPICAL RELATIONS OF THESE HOLY FEASTS AND SEASONS. We have in them a system of types, chronologically arranged, to set forth the true course of time — to prefigure the whole history of redemption in its leading outlines from the commencement to the close.
1. The first was the Passover. It was a sort of perpetual commemoration of their deliverance from the oppressor and from death — a standing testimonial that their salvation was by the blood of the Lamb. It was the keynote of the Christian system sounding in the dim depths of remote antiquity. That bondage in Egypt referred to a still deeper and more degrading slavery of the spirit. That redemption was the foreshadow of a far greater deliverance. And that slain lamb and its sprinkled blood pointed to a meeker, purer, and higher Victim, whose body was broken and blood shed for us and for many for the remission of sins.
2. The next was the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which was a sort of continuation of the Passover on the next day. The one refers to what Christ does and is to the believer, and the other refers to what the true believer does in return. The one refers to our redemption by blood and our deliverance from condemnation; the other to our repentance and consecration to a new life of obedience, separated from the leaven of unrighteousness. It is therefore plain why both were thus joined together as one. Redemption is nothing to us if it does not lead us to a purification of ourselves from the filthy ways and associations of the wicked, We can only effectually keep the gospel feast by purging out the old leaven of malice and wickedness. Seven days was this Feast of Unleavened Bread to be kept — a full period of time. We are to "serve God in righteousness and holiness all the days of our life." Our work is not done until the week of our stay in this world ends. We must be faithful until death.
3. Joined with the Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread was the additional service of presenting before God the first sheaf of the barley harvest. "This," says Cumming, "was a beautiful institution, to teach the Israelites that it was not the soil, nor the raindrops, nor the sunbeams, nor the dews, nor the skill of their agriculturists, that they had to thank for their bounteous produce; but that they must rise above the sower and reaper, and see God, the Giver of the golden harvest, and make His praise the keynote to their harvest-home." It was all this, but it had also a deeper and more beautiful meaning. The broad field, sowed with good seed, with its golden ears ripening for the harvest, is Christ's own chosen figure of His kingdom upon earth, and the congregation of His believing children maturing for the garners of eternal life. In that field the chief sheaf is Jesus Christ Himself; for He was in all respects "made like unto His brethren." He is the "firstfruits." He was gathered first, and received into the treasure-house of heaven. It was the Passover time when He came to perfect ripeness. It was during these solemnities that He was "cut off." And when the Spirit of God lifted Him from the sepulchre, and the heavens opened to receive Him, then did the waving of the sheaf of firstfruits have its truest and highest fulfilment. Until this sheaf was thus offered along with the blood of atonement there could be no harvest for us.
4. There was another harvest, and another festival service connected with its opening, fifty days later than the barley harvest. This was the wheat harvest, at which was celebrated the Feast of Weeks, otherwise called Pentecost. The Passover shows us Christ crucified; the sheaf of firstfruits shows us Christ raised from the dead and lifted up to heaven as our forerunner; and the Pentecostal feast, with its two leavened loaves, shows us Christ in the gracious influences of His Spirit wrought into the hearts and lives of those who constitute His earthly Church. This spiritual kneading took its highest and most active form on that memorable Pentecost when the disciples "were all with one accord in one place," and the Holy Spirit came down upon them with gifts of mighty power. Three thousand souls were that day added to the Church, It was a glad and glorious day for Christianity. It was the firstfruits of wheat harvest brought with joyous thanksgiving unto God. But it was only the firstfruits — the earnest of a vast and plenteous harvest of the same kind ripening on the same fields. Thenceforward the world was to be filled with glad reapers gathering in the sheaves, and with labourers kneading the contents of those sheaves into loaves for God. Leaven there needs is in those loaves; but, presented along with the blood of the chief of the flock and herd, they still become acceptable to Him who ordained the service. There was a peculiar requirement connected with these laws for the wheat, harvest well worthy of special attention. The corners of the fields and the gleanings were to be left. This was a beautiful feature in these arrangements. It presents a good lesson, of which we ought never to lose sight. But it was also a type. Of what, I have not seen satisfactorily explained, though the application seems easy. If the wheat harvest refers to the gathering of men from sin to Christianity, and from subjects of Satan to subjects of grace, then the plain indication of this provision is that the entire world, under this present dispensation, shall not be completely converted to God. I believe that the time will come, and that it is largely and fully predicted in the Scriptures, when "all shall know the Lord from the least unto the greatest" — when there will not be a single sinner left upon the earth. But that time will not come until a new dispensation with new instrumentalities shall have been introduced.
5. The next was the Feast of Trumpets. This was held on the first day of the seventh month of the ecclesiastical year, which was the same as the first month of the civil year. It was therefore a new-year festival, and at the same time the feast of introduction to the Sabbatic month. Its chief peculiarity was the continual sounding of trumpets from morning till evening. It was the grand type of the preaching of the gospel. The Feast of Trumpets was, to a great extent, a preliminary of the great Day of Atonement. We have already considered the peculiarities of this solemn day. Its leading thought is contained in its name — at-one-ment — that is, agreement, reconciliation, harmony, and peace with God. The Feast of Trumpets was a call to this at-one-ment. The gospel is an appeal to men to be reconciled to God.
6. Immediately succeeding the great solemnity on the fifteenth day of the month began another remarkable festival called the Feast of Tabernacles. It was to commemorate the forty years of tent life which their fathers led in the wilderness, and pointed, the same as that which it commemorated, to that period of the Christian's career which lies between his deliverance from bondage and his entrance into rest — that is, between his reconciliation to God and his final inheritance of the promises. It celebrates the state of the believer while he yet remains in this present life. This world is not our dwelling-place. We are pilgrims and strangers here, tarrying for a little season in tents and booths which we must soon vacate and leave to decay. "The earthly house of this tabernacle" must "be dissolved." The places that know us now shall soon know us no more. "Seven days" — a full period — were the people of Israel to remain in these temporary tabernacles. And thus shall we be at the inconvenience of a tent life for the full period of our earthly stay. But it was only once in a year that Israel kept the Feast of Tabernacles. And so, when we once leave the flesh, we shall never return to it again. Our future bodies shall be glorified, celestial, spiritual bodies. It is also a precious thought connected with this subject that when the Jews left their tents at the conclusion of the Feast of Tabernacles it was the Sabbath morning. This frail tent life is after all to be rounded off with the calm quiet of a consecrated day that has no night, and to merge into a rest that is never more to end.
(J. A. Seiss, . D. D.)
Parallel VersesKJV: Speak unto the children of Israel, and say unto them, Concerning the feasts of the LORD, which ye shall proclaim to be holy convocations, even these are my feasts.

I love heat. Ripping hot Thai salads, numbing Ma La dishes from China, fiery salsas, dishes from the southern Indian subcontinent that make you sweat. I know not everyone agrees with my tates, and some of you won’t be interested in what’s essentially a fiery hot take on the classic pan simmered dishes like marsala or piccata. But I find this fiery hot pepper chicken a lot of fun – and it’s fast and easy to prepare.
This dish is spicy. And if you want to, it can be made to be very spicy. It’s a quick, tasty dish that can be tweaked to fit with almost any mediterranean cuisine by adding to, or swapping out the oregano. Add a pinch of cinnamon for an eastern mediterranean flavor, or swap out the vinegar for lemon and add cumin and ginger for a more north African bent – even touch it up with a bit of harissa.
The technique is the same as that used for Marsala or Piccata – chicken is pounded flat, dredged in flour, quickly pan fried, and then simmered in a richly flavored sauce. Unlike those dishes – which are wine based – the simmering liquid here is a combination of hot chili infused tomato, chicken stock, and pureed roasted peppers. It delivers a spicy vegetal kick that you can tweak to your own preferences.
Fiery Hot Pepper ChickenCourse: MainCuisine: American, MediterraneanDifficulty: Easy
A quick and spicy chicken simmered in a spicy roasted pepper sauce.
- Working one at a time, place chicken between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a mallet or side of a knife until an even thickness of between ¼ and ½ inch.
- Season the pounded pieces on both sides with salt, and dredge each piece in flour.
- Place on a wire rack on a sheet pan, and refrigerate 15-20 minutes for the flour to hydrate while continuing prep.
- Add the chicken stock, vinegar, and roasted red pepper to the container of a blender and process until smooth.
- Peel and mince the garlic, then add ½ tsp salt and using the side of a knife, crush into a fine paste.
- Finely mince the oregano.
- Add olive oil to a saute pan over medium heat. When the oil begins to shimmer, and working in batches, cook the chicken pieces for approximately 2 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned.
- Set the chicken aside.
- Add tomato paste, chili flake, oregano, and garlic paste to the pan along with the oil and fat that has rendered. Cook for approximately two minutes over medium heat, or until the mixture begins to darken.
- Add the pepper puree/chicken stock mixture to the pan and return to a simmer.
- Return the chicken to the pan and cook at a low simmer for 5-10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked though and the internal temperature has reached 165° F.
- Serve with couscous, pasta, rice pilaf, or any mediterranean style starch.

Split finger is extremely painful condition. Split finger is simply defined as cracks and fissures on your fingertips and fingers. The pain of split fingers is quite discomforting, especially when you do some work with your hands. If there are large fissures and cracks on your fingers, you may find difficulty in writing or even holding a pen; leave alone your household work.
Finding suitable environment, fungus infection sets in the cracks and fissures of your fingertips. The same fungus is responsible for cracks and fissures on your soles and in between your toes, on the ear lobes or on the lips.
Split fingers are commonly seen among old people, housewives, maid servants, and people associated working with dyes and chemicals. Let us know why your fingers get split and how you treat them at home.
What Causes Split Skin On Fingers?
Several reasons contribute for your finger tips to split.
Sudden change in environmental temperature can affect your circulation, more so on your finger tips. If you are exposed to dry cold air during winter and suddenly you put your hands in front of a fire place to feel the heat, the tiny vessels on your fingers may not dilate so soon. This may lead to dryness and loss of elasticity on the finger skin and ultimately they crack. When the cracked fingertips come in contact with fungus during work, it slips in and multiplies. Elderly individuals who have poor blood circulation are more vulnerable to split fingers due to change in temperature.
Some individuals having split fingers have similar problem in their family.
- Hormonal changes during menopause, pregnancy can give rise to cracks and fissure on the finger tips.
- Malnourishment and deficiency of vitamins, especially B vitamins and vitamin A accelerates the process.
- If you are staying in damp place or work in damp surrounding, chances of fungus infection increases. Fungus survives and multiplies in damp places.
- Diseases such as eczema, psoriasis can cause split fingers. Bleeding is often present from the cracks and fissures on your fingers as a result of eczema on the fingers.
- Contact dermatitis: it is very common among females and maid servants who come in contact with detergents and soaps. People working closely with chemicals and petroleum products are also vulnerable to split finger problem.
Home Remedies For Cracked And Split Fingers
- Split fingers bleed easily due to dryness. It is necessary to keep them sufficiently moisturized; readily available petroleum jelly keeps your fingers greasy as well as allows the finger tips to heal.
- An ointment containing natural citronella oil is proven home remedy for treating split finger. This is because citronella oil is an effective fungicidal. Apply it daily at night time before sleeping.
- You can also apply aloe vera gel. It helps to relieve the condition within a week or two.
- Udder cream: yes a cream used for preventing chapping in cattle, especially cows. Udder cream has proven effective in treating split fingers in humans.
- If contact dermatitis is the cause for split fingers, use hand gloves while you are working with irritants that cause your fingertips to split.
- Improve your immunity; it helps to fight the fungus infection. Eat vitamin rich food, eat generously antioxidant rich fruits, avoid smoking, and drinking alcohol.
- Drink enough water so that your skin does not lose its elasticity and it remains well hydrated.

A week and a half ago, at the height of the storm over a proposed ethics code for the country’s professors, Ariel University in the West Bank held an event called “Planning Session in the Vise of Geopolitics – Environmental Planning in Judea and Samaria.” It was held as part of a conference on Judea and Samaria research studies (using the biblical term for the West Bank).
- Americans Disproportionately Leading Charge in Settling West Bank
- Annexing Israel to the Settlements
- Revealed: How Many Settlers Really Live in the West Bank?
The event was held in cooperation with various other bodies, including Ariel University’s architecture school, the Society for the Protection of Nature in Israel and the Kfar Etzion field school. The invitation explained that environmental planning focuses on reducing harm to the environment.
It went on to state: “In Judea and Samaria, due to its security and geopolitical complexity, this planning aspect has been pushed to the sidelines, and the environment and everyone living in it have been paying a heavy price for that.”
Should we laugh or cry at this? Look who’s talking about “planning aspects,” about harm to the environment, about the heavy price being paid by “everyone living in it” (under an occupation that has already lasted 50 years).
Among all the sins and injustices of the occupation, if we are to focus for just a moment on “planning aspects,” then the city of Ariel has been causing harm to the environment and the people living in it by virtue of its very existence and how it was planned – as reflected in reports by the Israeli human rights organization B’Tselem and other sources.
The settlement of Ariel was planned and built in violation of every planning aspect, and no conference can normalize that reality.
Its location as an isolated enclave deep within the West Bank, and its placement as a long, narrow wedge between the Palestinian communities around it, leaves no doubt that the real intent behind its creation was to place limitations on the Palestinian population and to prevent territorial contiguity among these communities.
The existence of an academic institution in Ariel contravenes not only any code of ethics, but also ethics itself. So it doesn’t matter if the faculty that teaches there speaks or does not speak about subjects that are “controversial” – which a proposed university ethics code would bar – or whether or not they express political positions on the right or the left. It will never be ethical.
The existence of Ariel’s school of architecture – a profession that deals directly with the use of space – only adds insult to injury.
In a conversation with graduates of that school about a decade ago, they recounted that throughout their studies they were never spoken to about politics. With an education like that, it’s no wonder that, now they are older and experienced, these architects continue to look the other way, completely separating planning from politics and denying the political implications of their profession.
There is room for an ethics code (in the moral sense) between planning and ethics, which would require the Israeli government to act forthwith to carry out a plan to expand the West Bank Palestinian city of Qalqilyah. It would not be political spin, in order to flaunt it for unreasonable purposes. Instead, it would enable the residents of the Arab city – a city that, in a show of panic, Education Minister Naftali Bennett labeled a “metropolitan area,” where even after the planned expansion only about 80,000 resident would live – to have fairer and more humane lives. At least that.
Even in the immoral context of the occupation, it would only be fit and proper for the architectural community in Israel to draft its own ethics code, through which it would publicly declare its support for the construction plan for Qalqilyah as published – even if, heaven forbid, it would be deemed “controversial.” And we have not said anything daring here.
