Section 4: The Twenty-fifth Amendment, The Obama Wars
Section 4: The Twenty-fifth Amendment, The Obama Wars
“The breakdown of the Obama administration and the internecine political warfare within the Executive Office of the President has gone aloft. The President is losing it through his Obama wars.”
On March 28, 2011 our Commander in Chief, President Obama, spoke to the nation, the world and too the rebels of insurgence against powers to be of Arab Dictatorship rule, in a televised address from Washington, D.C. At the beginning of his speech, he praised our forces for “going after Al Qaeda all across the globe.”Then, President Obama, continued to give defense of our troops in its role against Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi and in support of the Libyan ( Al Qaeda ) rebels. On hand clearly does not know what the other is doing, much like a large bureaucracy or that of say, an insurance company. One office has not a clue billing, what the other, receiving, is doing and they are both in the same building. Been there, done that; you know what I mean! Our Foreign policy is going to hell in a hand-basket! As riots began in January, it was clear that real democracy was not at play, as countries such as Tunisia’s moderate Islamist dictatorship was overthrown and the replacement government is of a more hard-line Islamist dictatorship, relaxing but certain economic rules to solidify its power. Then Egypt played its hand in the uprising game. Egypt is no more a democracy than my Dodge 94 pickup truck is an economic miser on gasoline consumption, no matter what color I paint it!
The military administration, (Dictatorship in name) of Egypt, this go around, has ruled the country since I was one years old, the 1954 coup. Since that overthrow, the administration has undergone three figurehead; Nasser, Sadat and now Mubarak. Mubarak began losing control as Twitter and the tweeters, along with Face Book followers, along with his changing military, forced him from office in favor of a constitutional reform that will in the end leave the military in power with a new figurehead ; possibly the Muslim Brotherhood.
Not exactly a democracy of political and international direction but of a lynch mob in favor of destroying its arch enemy, Israeli! What did President Obama say about this?
We are waiting for an answer and why are we aiding and abiding our enemy?
Now we are flying blind in Libya, aiding those who would see our children dead and their children dead but they are under a tyrannic rule, just another dictatorship gone a muck, where the violence against the demonstrators is much akin to another name not yet forgotten but conquered, Saddam Hussein. The problem here is that in Libya, the revolt is backed and supported by Al Qaeda!
Are we not at war in Afghanistan and Iraq against Al Qaeda operatives, I must be confused because here we are at war with them Afghanistan and Iraq but in Libya, we are leading the charge against Gaddafi, the US is actively aiding and abetting the Al Qaeda in a take-over of the country. Whose side are we on? Is everybody afraid to ask or say what is really on the Countries mind?
Again, do we know where our priorities lie? A ship commander and executive officer at Sasebo Naval Base were relieved of command due to a loss of confidence, in January of 2009. Cmdr. John Zuhowski was relieved that Thursday of command of the USS Tortuga, an amphibious assault ship, by Rear Adm. Richard Landolt, of Commander Task Force 76, according to a news release. Lt. Cmdr. Dennis Burke, the ship’s executive officer, was also relieved, the statement said. If a Commander in the Navy loses his station for “ loss of confidence,” what of a Commander in Chief who cannot tell to whom is the enemy?
This is ludicrous, our Commander in Chief is having his cake and eating it too. An analogy would be our plight against Hitlers Germany in WWII. On the Russian Front we are aiding German forces but in the European theater we are fighting him tooth and nail! Has this man lost his mind? Does he have the ability to lead? Questions such as these need to be addressed if we as a country of the free world are to survive, as our economy dwindles and we pay for more bombs and missiles. Section 4 of the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution needs to be addressed. Section 4 is the only part of the amendment never to have been invoked. It allows the Vice President, together with a majority of either "the principal officers of the executive departments" (i.e., the Cabinet) or of "such other body as Congress may by law provide", to declare the President disabled by submitting a written declaration to the President pro tempore and the Speaker of the House of Representatives. Section 4 is meant to be invoked if the President's incapacitation prevents him from discharging the duties of his office and to provide a written declaration to that effect. The President may resume exercising the Presidential duties by sending a written declaration to the President pro tempore and the Speaker of the House.
Should the Vice President and Cabinet remain unsatisfied with the President's condition, they may within four days of the President's declaration submit another declaration that the President is incapacitated. The Congress must then assemble within 48 hours if not in session. Within 21 days of assembling or of receiving the second declaration by the Vice President and the Cabinet, a two-thirds vote of each House of Congress is required to affirm the President as unfit. Upon this finding by the Congress, Section 4 states that the Vice President would "continue" to be Acting President. Should the Congress resolve the issue in favor of the President, or if the Congress makes no decision within the 21 days allotted, then the President would "resume" discharging all of the powers and duties of his office. The use of the words "continue" and "resume" imply that the Vice President remains Acting President while Congress deliberates.
However, the President may again submit a written declaration of recovery to the President pro tempore and the Speaker of the House. That declaration could be responded to by the Acting President and the Cabinet in the same way as stated earlier. The allotted 21-day Congressional procedure would start again.
But we are getting ahead of ourselves because, there is more, like this is not enough?
One the leaders of the rebellion fighting now in Libya, Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi, left Libya to fight against U.S. Forces in 2002 in Afghanistan and later, he was known to have recruited jihads to fight against the US troops in Iraq, teaching them how to make an IUD and Kill Americans! He is now, one of a handful of terrorists from Iraq, Al Qaeda terrorists, fighting on the front lines in Ajdabiya, Libya.
Enemies today, friends tomorrow, are we are still sending body bags home from Iraq and Afghanistan?
President Barack Obama justifies the attacks on Libya by stating that the US government was “confronted by a looming humanitarian crisis”.If this is true, then why were we not using US forces in Egypt in response to the massacres of Coptic Christians by Egyptian military under the cover of the general demonstrations? Ted Koppel's comment, the day before Obama gave his why we are here speech stated, on 'MEET THE PRESS', "The question hasn't yet been answered as to why it is that Libya, of all the countries in that region, has won the humanitarian defense sweepstakes of 2011." My question, is the President of sound mind and body? How can Abdel-Hakim al-Hasidi be of our Allie, no matter what the situation? Has Al Qaeda opened its arms and we are now friends and if so, why are we still in military operations against them everywhere else in the world?
During the same episode of 'MEET THE PRESS', US Defense Secretary Robert Gates answered a question of is Libya of “our vital interest”, to which his responds was “I don't think it's a vital interest for the United States." On another note, to which I would think would be of a vital interest would be that of Syria! They too are in a critical meltdown and if a coalition against the powers to be there were assaulted, it could remove Iran’s strongest ally in the world. Therefore cutting off supply lines, a strategic move, of the Hizbullah terrorist organization in Lebanon, as well, damaging Hamas in Gaza.
That would be a smart play, a power move and one sending a message around the world, bringing more freedom to the Palestinian people within its territory! We would then be coming to the defense of Israel, or other Christian or the other minorities in the Middle East. A savior, an Allie! Instead, we are providing aid to the enemy. We are allowing for Al Qaeda and the Muslim Brotherhood to gain power, while giving recognition and prominence unto the Iran-Syria-Hezbollah-Hamas axis to terror, sowing the seeds for a Holy War against Israeli and a Pandora's Box as again, like Custard with the 7th Calvary, are encircled, taken by surprise and lead into a war to which we fueled in the first place. Our Liberties and Freedoms are at stake as long as we let the Pied Piper of 2011 lead us in to oblivion; if impeachment proceedings are but to harsh in saving our country, then let our Vice President, Joe Biden, take the bull by the horns and invoke section 4 of the 25th Amendment, putting an end to the Obama Wars and save America before America is no more!

We can honestly say that Kassiopi is a pretty harbour-side town, still dominated by the impressive ruins of its huge Byzantine fortress. Of course we wanted to see it with our own eyes, but we had some trouble to find our way towards it. Finally we found the path opposite of the church of Panaghia Kassiopitissa (Church of the Slessed Virgin Kassopitras) which took us to the ruined Byzantine fortress. It's abandoned to the whims of nature and the entrance is almost hidden by wild flowers.
The castle was built in the 14th century by the Angevin conquerors of Corfu. It was built to protect the town and its port and was guarding the sea route from Corfu to the opposite coast. The Venetians finally overran the castle and in revenge razed it almost to the ground, for fear of it falling into enemy hands. Finally the Venetians used the building material to reinforce the castle of the town of Corfu. But it's still worth visiting the remains of the vast walls and gatehouse, because it lead us to a vantage point offering spectacular views over Kassiopi's bay and up to Mount Pantokrator.
For us a funny fact was that once we were exploring the crumbling walls of this ruin Iris still had the half-demolished Byzantine fort of Gardiki in mind. She therefore looked all around for a goat! Unlucky for her we didn't find one and just enjoyed the views we had at this historical hillside overlooking the town.
Village of Kassiopi.
Situated at the north east side of the island. It is a 17 km drive from the capital of Corfu, Corfu Town.
Perithia is a deserted village. It is located high up, off the main road between Kassiopi and Acharavi. It's about 5 km from Kasssiopi and then follow the road up to new Perithia, this is not far, turn left at the fork in the road, you will see the signs, go through the new village. Perithia was built in Byzantine times around the 14th century when people fled their coastal homes in fear of the pirates raiding there coastal villages. Over 1,500 people lived in Perithia. As tourism developed, down on the coast, more of the village inhabitants and families moved down to the 'new' coastal resorts Today there are six people who live in the old village throughout the whole year.
This beach is a little bit of a treck but if you like beaches that are not heaving with people its worth the 20 min's it takes to get there.I ts a little difficult to explain how to get there but i will try. If you go to Kassiopi harbour from the road, keep going untill you can go no farther. There is a little dirt track that takes you inland through trees for about 10 min's, then the track turns back towards the sea and then to the beach. I have not got a clue what this beach is called but we was there for 2 weeks and the most that ever came to this beach was 10.
Kassiopi and the surrounding areas are a mass of Olive trees.
Corfu is a very 'green' island so these trees thrive with all the warm sunshine and occasional downpour!
I found myself taking lots of early evening walks through the groves as it was too hot to walk during the day.
Just before the harvest one can see lots of nets being laid out at the foot of the trees, so watch your step and dont get caught up in them!
As well as Olive trees, lemon trees grow very well in Corfu. Look up into the branches and see the size of their fruits, some are HUGE!
Always seek permission before trespassing on someones land or take a guided walk instead.

Measuring the Hall effect in nanowires
Researchers at Lund University in Sweden have succeeded in measuring the Hall effect in nanowires for the first time – a feat that was thought impossible until now. The new measurements will help fine tune the electronic properties of these technologically important materials and might perhaps even help in the development of a new generation of nanowire-based devices.
The classic Hall effect occurs when an electric current flows through a conductor in a magnetic field. If the current and magnetic field are at right angles to each other, the Lorentz force deflects the electrons to one side and a Hall voltage builds up in the direction that is at right angles to both the current and the magnetic field. This Hall voltage can provide invaluable information about a material’s fundamental electronic properties, such as doping and carrier mobility.
Researchers have been studying semiconducting nanowires for the last decade or so because these materials could be ideal for making efficient light-emitting diodes and photovoltaic energy-harvesting devices. However, before such applications become possible, the electronic properties of these materials needs to be analysed in detail – something that has not proved easy because of the shape and the 2D dimensional nature of nanowires.
A team led by Lars Samuelson has now developed a new way to embed a nanowire in a thin polymer film. The simple set-up allows the researchers to deposit multiple electrical contacts along the nanowire for subsequent Hall effect measurements. “Nanowires are difficult to characterize electrically, but our new technique enables us to determine both the electron density and electron mobility in a single measurement and also with high spatial resolution (on the 100 nm scale),” explained team member Kristian Storm. “The experiments will hopefully allow us to fine tune the electronic properties of nanowires and so take research on these materials into its next stage.”
A total of eight metal electrodes for sourcing currents and reading voltages were deposited onto the nanowire shell by a technique called metal evaporation. By sourcing a current through terminals AH (see figure) while simultaneously applying a magnetic field perpendicular to the sample surface, the Lund team was able to measure the Hall voltage across the nanowire shell between terminals BC, DE and FG.
The researchers made their measurements on hexagonal indium phosphide p-type core, n-type shell zinc-blende nanowires that had been grown by metal–organic vapour phase epitaxy on InP substrates. These materials are thought to be ideal for photovoltaic and infrared LED applications. But the good news is that, because the measurement technique is a general one, it is not limited to a specific material or nanowire system and might be used to study a wide range of semiconducting wires, says Samuelson.
“Such measurements – combined with nano-optical characterization techniques, like micro-photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence, as well as structural studies using scanning probe microscopy – mean that researchers now have a complete toolbox (or nanowire-facet characterization platform, as we like to call it) at their disposal for analysing nanowires,” he told nanotechweb.org.
The research is described in Nature Nanotechnology.

Deloitte, the business advisory firm, has increased revenue by £340m in the year ended 31 May 2017, from £3,040m to £3,380m.
This is the seventh consecutive year of revenue growth and the second consecutive year of double-digit growth.
Growth in the firm’s North West practice was at a similar rate to that seen nationally, driven through increased activity with listed companies.
Total income was up 20 per cent in the last year across FTSE 100 and AIM-listed companies.
Likewise, the North West’s increased focus on international growth markets has been another highlight over the last 12 months.
The region has carried out more work in overseas territories such as the US and Europe, as well as emerging markets such as China, India and Japan. This has generated a 15 per cent rise in revenue for the north west.
From a services perspective each of the North West practice’s principal divisions grew successfully with particular growth in Tax.
Richard Bell, managing partner UK Regions at Deloitte, said: "Our regional markets are home to some of the UK’s most successful and well-known businesses – many of whom we are proud to have as Deloitte clients.
"We are dedicated to making our North West business the best it possibly can be for our clients, our people and society.
"This attitude has made the North West practice one of the firm’s largest and most influential, that is committed to serving a network of clients that are driving growth across the UK, Europe and beyond.”
Commenting on the performance of the UK firm as a whole, David Sproul, senior partner and chief executive of Deloitte, said: “This is a good performance in a complex and uncertain market which has been impacted by Brexit and the elections in the US and UK.
"Our Consulting and Audit and Risk Advisory businesses both grew by double-digits.
"Consulting has continued to see significant demand for technology-enabled business transformation and there has been further strong growth in Deloitte Digital, our creative digital consultancy."

Michael Weinzettl invites you to look at cover candidates for our next Special - 200 Best Ad Photographers Worldwide.
Next week the latest instalment of our bi-annual 200 Best Ad Photographers Worldwide is finally going to the printers. Counting 520 pages of awesome images, it is not only the heftiest Photography book we’ve ever produced but the biggest Special in general.
The only thing yet to be done is to interview the brilliant and highly respected ad creative Dave Dye, Head of Art and Design at JWT London, and one of the members of the jury responsible for the selection of work featured - from what initially were 8,400 submissions from photographers all over the world.
And of course there is the question of the cover. I've decided I won’t bother you with voting for one this time, but I thought it might be interesting for you to see which candidates are in the running. This will also give you a – if tiny – glimpse into what awaits you in our upcoming 200 Best Ad Photographers book.
Number one is an excerpt from an image by a Prague-based photographer.
Goran Tacevski's work featured a total of 17 times in Lürzer’s Archive magazine as well as a couple of previous 200 Best Photographers Specials.
The second cover option is by South African photographer Beatrice Heydiri.
Beatrice has been represented in previous volumes of 200 Best Ad Photographers and is justly famous for her portraits of children.
Number three is what is basically the only still-life image among our cover options:
It’s by Manchester-based photographer Paul Moffat for The Senator Group, which is the largest British manufacturer of business furniture for corporate, office, public sector, hospitality and retail.
The next contender for the cover is taken from an image for Ballantine’s Scotch whisky. It’s by a young photographer named Benjamin Von Wong and one that made headlines earlier this year for the sheer audacity of the way it was created – one hundred feet below the surface of an ancient sinkhole in Tulum, Mexico, with a team of 13 divers.
And the mystical white cloud near the model is not the result of some digital trickery but in fact a toxic layer of hydrogen sulfide halfway down the sinkhole.
Next up is a Japanese contender for the cover spot.
it’s by Nachiro Tsukada and commissioned by the OMDR agency in Tokyo for the client Union Corporation.
The next two cover options happen to be by the same photographer (something I was not aware of when I selected them) – Canadian Philip Rostron. The first is from a campaign by FCB, Toronto, and one that featured in Archive magazine Vol. 4/2014. It's for PFLAG, an NGO committed to advancing equality and full societal affirmation of LGBTQ people.
Philip’s second shot at the cover position comes from a campaign by the Zulu Alpha Kilo agency in Toronto for a charity that leads the development of the sport of Blind Hockey and provides children and youth with the opportunity to learn to skate and try Blind Hockey.
The final one – and perhaps my favorite at the moment – is an image by Spanish Zurich-based Juventino Mateo Leon, whose work was also included in our previous 200 Best Ad Photographers issue.
I love the reference to the late Leigh Bowery, an Australian performance artist considered to be a hugely influential figure in the 1980s and 1990s London and New York City art and fashion circles.
And that’s it at the moment: Although I’m not asking for your vote this time around, we would love your comments and suggestions. Share them below!

text: Our thoughts and prayers go out to Dylan Harju and his family. We love you Dylan. On February 13th while having a routine practice session for upcoming shows Dylan Harju had a flip over rotate and pushed away from the sled right before impact. In what appeared to be a best case scenario get off he was knocked unconscious, was unresponsive and taken by ambulance to Regions Hospital in St Paul, MN. It was discovered he had suffered some head trauma with swelling and some bleeding in his brain. At this time the doctors are monitoring his condition and feel that surgery can be avoided. Dylan has been in the ICU on a sedative IV since the accident and although he is fully able to breath on his own has been placed on a ventilator to help take any added stress off of his body. All of Dylan’s vitals are great and he has no other physical injuries. There is no timetable for recovery at this point but they are expecting him to come too within a week or two. Brain injuries are very tricky and we have been told it will be a lengthy stay no matter what.


The company behind Doogee is not relenting as it continues to release phones regularly. This is true as in the case of Doogee X90L which has now hit the smartphone shops in this month of March 2019. The phone came much later, toward the end of the month.

The people of Antigua and Barbuda were settling down for a long night as they await the results of Wednesday’s general election that Prime Minister Gaston Browne called more than a year ahead of the constitutional deadline.
The 168 polling stations closed at 6.00 pm (local time) after a 12 hour period allowing for the eligible 51,258 voters to cast their ballots.
While there are seven political parties and five independents vying for control of the 17-seat Parliament, political observers say the contest is a straight fight between the ruling Antigua and Barbuda labour Party (ABLP) and the main opposition United Progressive Party (UPP).
He said he was not unduly worried by the turnout and that based on the support base of the Labour Party, he is expecting young voters to turn out in numbers.
“As I said to you they may think there is no rush because there’s unlikely to be a change in government and I believe they will take their time,” he said, indicating however that the party had been working to make sure all supporters cast their ballots.
For his part, UPP leader, Harold Lovell, who is leading the party into a general election for the first time, said while the voting process has been “very smooth in some constituencies it appears the process has been slow (but) I am now worried.
He brushed aside suggestions that a low poll would favour the incumbent, adding “I think in our circumstances the base for the UPP has shown they are highly energised and the people who are saying they are not going to vote are primarily ABLP supporters.
“I think it is early to make any prediction as to what a low voter turnout would be,” he said.
In the 2014 general election, the ABLP won 14 of the 17 seats with the remainder going to the UPP.
There were no major hiccups during the polling period but the Antigua and Barbuda Electoral Commission (ABEC) Chairman Nathaniel “Paddy” James has said the population will have a long wait before the results are known..
“The problem is that we have not yet been able to convince the politicians to change the system of counting ballot boxes at a central location in each constituency,” James said
He said the politicians “would rather stand up there when the boxes come to see each box as it’s counted, rather than get the information from a second-hand source”.
Following the closure of the polling stations, each box from each polling station must be transported under police guard to a central location within each constituency and the Returning Officer for that district must conduct the count of all constituency boxes one by one.
Prime Minister Browne told the Caribbean Media Corporation (CMC) that he agrees the system is “archaic.
“Absolutely the present system is archaic and it is one of our priorities going into the new term,’ Browne said, adding that there is also need to make some changes to the electoral process “but because of the early poll a number of things had to be derailed.
“But I am pretty sure that will start immediately and certainly by the next general elections a number of these inefficient processes will be updated,” he said, hinting at the changes to the counting process and boundary changes.

A very petite and delicate looking resin pendant filled with a tiny nebula of crushed white opal.
Handmade with a silver bail, this necklace is a delicate statement piece, great for yourself or as a gift for a discerning nature (or pet) lover.
This pendant may be small, but she certainly packs a punch! So shiny and shimmery, especially in the sunlight!
Pendant measures 7/8" tall and 5/8" wide (20x10mm), one of my most petite pendants.
Comes on sterling silver 18" chain.
*All of my resin jewelry pieces are painstakingly hand crafted my myself. No two pieces of jewelry will ever be the same, due to both the nature of handmade items and the fact that the internal elements are all natural. I use jewelry-grade clear resin, which prevents the flowers, feathers and leaves from fading once they are encased. Each piece is cured, filed, sanded and polished. I attach all silver bails by hand, and inspect each piece of jewelry before stringing them upon a beautiful sterling silver chain.

ZHU, BOYE (2022) Design and Application of Probes to Understand Peroxisomal Localisation of BODIPYs. Doctoral thesis, Durham University.
|PDF - Accepted Version
BODIPYs (4,4-difluoro-4-bora-3a,4a-diaza-s-indacene) constitute an important class of fluorophores. The excellent qualities of BODIPY comprise relatively high fluorescence quantum yields and molar absorption coefficients, narrow emission bandwidths, high elevated stability towards chemicals and light, and the extra feature of excitation/emission wavelengths in the visible region.
Previous work in our group generated a small set of BODIPY fluorophores, including one, nitro-BODIPY, 1,3,5,7‐tetramethyl-8‐(4‐nitrophenyl)‐BODIPY, that is intrinsically non-fluorescent but upon incubation of cells with this compound, fluorescence is observed at the target site. The target site in plant cells was identified as peroxisomes, as verified by co-localization with an SKL-FP construct (peroxisome-specific carboxyl-terminal targeting sequence fluorescent proteins). It is key to future applications to be able to understand how this is occurring at a molecular level.
These objectives are challenged by a lack of knowledge of this protein target and the physicochemical profile of nitro-BODIPY. This leads to the specific aims of this project which are: 1. To develop a ‘toolbox’ of analogues that enable multicolour visualisation. 2. To confirm the nature of the binding process between nitro-BODIPY and the target protein and to determine its reversibility. 3. To identify the target protein of nitro-BODIPY in plant peroxisomes.
Therefore, a family of red-shifted nitro-BODIPY probes were synthesised. Most of them showed selectivity towards plant peroxisomes and their emission wavelength could reach to a maximum of around 700 nm. Water-soluble probes were prepared and proved to exhibit selective labelling towards plant peroxisomes as well. In addition, a group of dual-fluorophore probes (nitro-BODIPY probes with a second fluorophore including Rhodamine B, Cy5, dansyl and NBD) were developed to determine whether nitro-BODIPY only localizes at peroxisome or somewhere else. Although several dual-fluorophore probes showed selective labelling of the peroxisome, the reporter function of the second fluorophore in all probes was challenged by various degrees of FRET. Finally, a photoaffinity labelling probe (nitro-BODIPY core attatched with a benzophenone photoaffinity group) was prepared to determine the target proteins of nitro-BODIPY in plant peroxisomes. Several potential protein targets of nitro-BODIPY in plant peroxisomes were detected by this photoaffinity labelling probe via SDS-PAGE technique.

gay men, parenting intention, perceived social support, gender-role conflict
Parenting intention plays a fundamental role in one’s decision to become a parent. Higher levels of parenting intention indicate a higher likelihood of becoming a parent. For gay men, this process can be increasingly complex. There are a substantial number of factors that could play a role in a gay man’s decision to parent. Gay identity might play a role in the parenting intentions of gay men, as it has been found that loosely related constructs such as internalized heterosexism or outness do impact this decision. Perceived social support has been found to have both positive and deleterious effects on this decision-making process for gay men. More broadly, many gay men fear that becoming a father could reduce their individuality from the heterosexual community (Mallon, 2004). Furthermore, gender-role conflict has been found to impact parenting motivation in this population. This study measured the relationships between gay identity, perceived social support, and gender-role conflict on parenting intention in childless gay men. It was hypothesized that there would be a difference in gay men’s stated intention to parent depending on their stage of gay identity development when associated with perceived social support and gender-role conflict. A sample size of 165 gay men determined that significant results were found only with gender-role conflict. Men who suffer consequences associated with non-erotic touch with other men such as hugging were associated with being unsure of having children or intending to have children. Additionally, when gender-role conflict scores and gay identity were included in the model, having a gay identity in lower stages was associated with decreased odds of intending to have a child, compared to those in stage 6. The findings of this study suggest that the decision to become a parent is a complex process for gay men, and that gender-role conflict does explain some of that complexity.

The photography featured on the high-end deck was supplied by director Van Styles, who was also instrumental in setting up Akira's deal with the company. SK8MAFIA's many products are released through Blitz Distribution, the global giant known for distributing lines by Tony Hawk and other industry leaders.
"They are a great company that is 100 percent true to skateboarding and I respect that,” Styles said. “Coming from a skateboarding background myself, the opportunity to have one of my photos on a board sold worldwide is really an honor. The team they've assembled is sick and to be able to have this opportunity with a brand like this is a great thing."
He also said that he believes the company found the ideal model to launch what is planned to be a series of adult boards.
"Asa is quickly and steadily building her name and reputation as an amazing porn actress,” Styles said. “I figured it would be great for Sk8MAFIA to get a board with such a fast rising star. Plus I know Asa loves the skateboard community and would really be into this."
Akira and Styles are quick to point out that the boards will benefit from international releasing through Blitz Distribution, the same company that helps keep skateboard legend Tony Hawk's decks in shops worldwide.
"I'm excited to be working with one of the true leaders in the skateboarding community," Akira said.
Styles adds, "the thing I love most is that we're doing this with a real skateboard company whose goods are sold across the globe in skateboarding shops. This is not some guy putting porn girls on a skate deck that might get sold in a couple stores locally.
"From the design to the distribution, this is the real deal and I look forward to doing more projects like this with Sk8MAFIA."

Delhi HC to pass order on plea by Congress in tax demand case today
A petition was filed by the Congress party against the Income Tax department's notice for the recovery of outstanding dues exceeding Rs 100 crore
The Delhi High Court will pronounce its verdict on Wednesday on a petition by the Congress challenging an order of the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal which refused to stay a notice issued by the Income Tax department for recovery of outstanding dues of more than Rs 100 crore.
A bench of Justices Yashwant Varma and Purushaindra Kumar Kaurav is scheduled to deliver the order at 2:15 PM.
The bench had reserved its order on Tuesday after hearing the submissions on behalf of the Congress and the I-T department.
The Congress approached the high court after the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal (ITAT) on 8 March dismissed the party's application seeking a stay on the 13 February notice of the I-T department initiating recovery proceedings against it.
The assessing officer had raised a tax demand of more than Rs 100 crore for the assessment year 2018-19 when the income was assessed to be more than Rs 199 crore.
The counsel for the Congress had urged the court to grant it some protection otherwise the party would collapse.
He had said notification for the Lok Sabha elections is expected in the next few days and the party is under tremendous pressure as its bank accounts have been frozen.
The bench had told the senior lawyer that though the demand was raised in 2021, the party took no steps to address the issue. It had said it was a “badly handled matter” and somebody from the Congress office went off to sleep right from 2021.
“Merely because someone chose to wake up and put you on notice in February will not change those facts,” the bench had said.
The I-T Department’s counsel had submitted that though the Congress was given the option of paying 20 per cent of the demand way back in 2021, it was not done. If the assessee does not avail the facility of depositing 20 per cent of the demand when offered, the entire amount becomes recoverable, he had said.
The I-T department’s counsel had informed the court that the original tax demand stood at Rs 102 crore and with interest it became Rs 135.06 crore. He said Rs 65.94 crore stands recovered now.
Before the ITAT, the counsel for the Congress had contended that the initiation of recovery proceedings under Section 226 (3) of the Income Tax Act on February 13 is so timed that the assessee would not be left with enough resources to contest the parliamentary elections.
The tribunal had dismissed the stay application saying, "… we do not find that the recovery notice under Section 226(3) of the Act issued by the assessing officer on February 13, 2024 is lacking in bona fides, so as to require us to intervene."
The party had earlier said the I-T tribunal order freezing its funds was "an attack on democracy" as it had come just ahead of the Lok Sabha elections.

A few photos from our lovely holiday to the beautiful Norfolk countryside with a few classic cars, trains and buses thrown in to amuse both my toddler and his grandfather.
Just a few photos from our family trip to the very beautiful Lake District.
So we’ve just arrived back from a family holiday in Devon. We stayed in a lovely holiday home – The Granary at Buckland Court, Goveton. It was in the middle of the Devon countryside, so no phone signal. Jacob loved crawling around a whole new house and spending time with his grandad for a week.
On day one we made a mildly terrifying but worth it journey to Overbeck’s. If you should ever visit this particular National Trust property I’d say walk there if you can. Parking is limited and the roads are narrow, once there however the views and gardens are stunning.
It’s a great place for families with a lovely cafe and plenty of places for little ones to explore.
In one of the terraced gardens we happened upon the statue ‘First Flight’ by Albert Bruce Joy from the 1900s. It almost floats amongst beds of brightly coloured flowers and is quite striking when seen against a wonderfully bright blue summer sky.
One of the main events of our holiday was a ride on a steam train (Jacob’s first). My dad is an enthusiast so it was hard to tell who was more excited as we walked out onto the platform to see the engine that would take us from Paignton to Kingswear.
Beaches & Butterflies
On our most sunny day we went to Hope Cove which is a truly outstandingly beautiful stretch of beach.
This was followed up with a trip to the The Butterfly Farm and Otter Sanctuary in Buckfastleigh. I think Jamie and Jacob enjoyed seeing the otters being fed best, but I thoroughly enjoyed wondering round the butterfly house taking photos.

Transforming the FinTech Sector: The Empowering Influence of AI Chatbots Allison Kennedy
Fintech Chatbots establish efficient customer support by resolving a variety of finance-related queries and transactional discrepancies. In 2022, chatbots are no longer an innovation but rather a must-have for businesses that count on interaction with customers, including financial institutions. AI-driven chatbots can simulate human conversations, solve clients’ issues in a matter of seconds, and undertake routine tasks, allowing human staff to carry out more complicated and important matters. Fintech chatbots can assist customers with all types of digital transactions across the globe.
This is because finance bots will send them reminders for bills and notifications for the balance. The users can also use this feature to set credit card payment reminders and build their score easier. Bots in finance help to improve spending habits for your customers and some awkward conversations about missing payments for your reps. Unlike other offerings on this list, Cleo isn’t affiliated with a bank and never touches users’ actual money — it just processes the information they provide and returns advice almost instantly.
Can computer personalities Be human personalities?
In comparison, a human agent can only concentrate on one request at a time. While bots take over the simple service queries, they take some weight off your agents’ shoulders. And the best part is, you won’t lose on customer satisfaction as bots can deliver personalized service to your customers. Billed as the first natural language chatbot from a U.S. bank, Eno went through an internal beta period to “teach” the AI before launching in 2017.
It frees up valuable resources and enabling Capital One more strategic initiatives. Eno additionally offers customers immediate, individualized support, enhancing their overall user experience and raising customer satisfaction. The Internet is forcing the financial firms to adopt technology on a larger scale and firms who do that are jumping ahead of the others in acquiring customers while retaining the old ones.
Advantages Of Utilizing Chatbots
As the fintech industry expands, the need for clear regulations and standards becomes increasingly crucial. These regulations and standards serve to guarantee that fintech software development services deliver secure and dependable solutions to financial institutions. Ensure safeguarding of customer data and the fintech solutions meet the necessary performance, security, and privacy standards. The responsible use of customer data is also crucial to building trust with customers. This includes ensuring that customer data is only used for the purpose for which it was collected and that customers are informed of how their data is being used. Artificial intelligence development services and financial institutions need to be transparent and upfront about their data practices in order to build customer trust and confidence in the use of AI chatbots.
Not minding security can lead to potential breaches that can jeopardize the financial assets of users. A chatbot create invoices and help with different kinds of payments and transfers. Millions of people are comfortable enough using virtual assistants to execute tasks on their devices, so chances are good your users would appreciate similar functionality (voice or text) with your bot. When necessary, well-designed finance chatbots transfer discussions to a person. For assuring customer pleasure, it is essential to get the chatbot-human handoff perfect.
What’s the future of AI in the Customer Service Industry?
Eventually, it will enhance better customer engagement and offer seamless customer service. Merely speaking, the development of the FinTech chatbot app offers all crucial information to the workers via Q&A format. Just like it, internal chatbots have a single information source that legal teams can verify to ensure whether it is accurate or not. Alternatively, financial services are also open for disbursal of loans through a feature called the AI-based CX platform.
Integrate and transact across 30+ messaging channels using Gupshup’s single API for messaging. Across verticals, thousands of large and small businesses in emerging markets use our services to build conversational experiences across marketing, sales, and support. If you too want to introduce conversational messaging solutions for a successful customer journey, book a demo with us.
Integrating Video With Your App?
It is quite hard for bank employees to figure it out as they would need to dig through tons of information and do in-depth analysis. But it could be easily handled by a chatbot and can solve the riddle in seconds by chatting with the person. The next chatbot can offer a specific banking service or product that can lead Mr. Royan and Mt Virgil to purchase a new service or product, and most importantly leave them satisfied. Introduced by the AI research company OpenAI, ChatGPT is an elaborately trained model that interacts with humans conversationally. The dialogue format makes it possible for ChatGPT to answer follow-up questions, admit its mistakes, challenge incorrect premises, and reject inappropriate requests.

Over the weekend of July 5-7, the first Soul Food Festival was held at Dream Field Farms & Pumpkin Patch located in Fitzpatrick, Alabama. The 3-day event was sponsored by a local organization, Chilly’s Ice Cool Band Foundation and D.I.V.I.N.E. Performing Arts Group of Akron, Ohio. Chilly’s Ice Cool Band Foundation and D.I.V.I.N.E. Performing Arts Group provided dynamic, star-studded entertainment that showcased the epitome of creative arts in sound and motion.
On Friday, July 5, families arrived at the festival and found much to keep them engaged. Children rode the cow train; fed the animals at the petting zoo; tossed beanbags, and played horseshoes.
Other activities available for the children included zip lining and canoeing. Attendees seemed to have felt safe around the water because security from Murray’s Protection Team helped parents keep an eye on the little ones.
The opportunity to shop, for T-shirts, hats, jewelry, handbags, and steel art, was made available by onsite vendors. Concessions served barbecue pulled pork sandwiches, chips, nachos, hotdogs, and hamburgers with other side dishes upon request. The beverage stand housed water, soda, ice cream and other snack items as well. There was plenty to eat and drink to beat the heat.
Later in the afternoon, the barn doors opened at 7:00 p.m. for some boot-scooting boogie moves. Mobile DJ Bubba Culpepper from Bama Country 98.9-WBAM, Montgomery, AL delivered a wide variety of music to produce an energy-filled barn dance and hoe down. The dance began at 8:00 p.m. and concluded at 10:00 p.m.
Although the barn was not full of bodies, the dancers that were present kept the rhythm of the evening rocking the night away. Laughter swelled inside the barn walls as attendees interacted and exchanged dance moves to the Cotton-eyed Joe. Lines were formed to do the Cha, Cha Slide Remix, Cupid Shuffle, Cowboy Boogie, and other line dance favorites.
Saturday, July 6, jumped off at 2:00 p.m. with some fun for the children, again. Chewing and chatting took place as attendees enjoyed a Day on the Green.
Activities were open to everyone. Adults, and the younger folk alike, rode the cow train all around the barnyard with raised arms and loud chuckles.
Around 3:00 p.m., jazz invaded the air as Skylar Saufley, Columbus, GA, started off the set singing and playing all original pieces. His new look only complemented his original blues complete with harmonica. Commissioner Don Larkins recorded Skylar live on Facebook.
Although the lineup of musicians and singers was impressive and spectacular, Alabama Chilly (Councilman Stan Cook) filled in all transitional times with his rich, sultry sounds of music and vivacious vocals. Finger-snapping, toe-tapping, hand waving onlookers were captivated by his stage presence.
Following Alabama Chilly was a legend. James Jackson, Columbus, GA, jazzed things up even more with his electric guitar. He played flawlessly as the audience continued to engage with his high-quality jazz renditions. They rocked, swayed, and raised a hand or two.
American Idol’s Jessica Meuse, went live at 7:00 p.m. She sang several songs from various genres, but one in particular supported the purpose of this event. Jessica sang Landslide written by Stevie Nicks. A line in the chorus of the song suggests that some people might be afraid of changing. Jessica demonstrated a boldness to make a difference in the world through her music.
Leading into the final acts of the show, Cathy Love, 80, made a special appearance. She was saucy and sexy on stage. Love sashayed around the stage in her golden heels, and a flowing teal-flared summer top that draped over her stage-appropriate black spandex shorts. Her smooth copper-toned skin looked youthful and radiant. Love sang some oldies but goodies like, When Something is Wrong With My Baby, Knock on Wood, and I Didn’t Want to Say Goodbye. Her youthful vibrancy left the audience in awe.
Alabama Chilly, featuring Tootie Malone, rendered the final act of the evening. The two of them closed down the Soul Food Festival singing Alabama Chilly’s original song, Uptown.
Sunday, July 7, detonated the Gospel Explosion with a blast! Due to extremely hot temperatures, the scheduled outdoor program was moved into the barn.
Following a soul-searching devotion by some volunteers from the audience, ensemble Ladies of Unity, soloists Betty Adams, representatives from Calvary Baptist Church and Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church sang songs of hope.
The first motivational/inspirational messenger was Rev. Savannah Fitzpatrick, Back to God Ministries. Her message was entitled, Divine Love.
Following the first message was soloist Glenn Person and more songs from the Mt. Zion group, which led into the second motivational/inspirational messenger, Rev. Gene Bridgman, Eastside Baptist Church. He spoke about Our Great High Priest.
Glenn Person and Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church Mass Choir sang before the final messenger spoke.
The last motivational/inspirational messenger was Rev. Roosevelt Grant, Bethlehem Missionary Baptist Church. His topic asked, “What is in Your Heart?”
A free-will offering was lifted following each messenger.
To end the program, final remarks were made by Rev. J. N. Robbins of Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church.
Highlights from the long weekend festivities have left many attendees with much to talk about with friends and family.
Among the comments voiced about the Soul Food Festival. Volunteer Carolyn Sullins-Pace shared, “Man, I would have gladly paid to get into this festival! It has been a wonderful experience just seeing people coming together to celebrate.”
L. C. Woodard stated, “This festival was good for Union Springs. I desired to see more people, but I enjoyed everything. If you have anything like this again, I will be there.”
Travelers from St. Petersburg, Florida, Terry and Sharon Gariano said, “We thought this event was well organized and inviting.”
Countess Williams, age 8, noted what she liked about the festival as well. “It was fun being with the other kids. We rode the cow train, went on the zip-line and tire swing. I would come back again because It was fun watching the artist make statues, too.”
Pastor Gene Bridgman, indicated that he is “looking forward to doing this again before too long”.
The Soul Food Festival has evoked positive responses from community members. Several have offered suggestions for the Soul Food Festival plans for next year.

On January 7, 2023, police in Kahawa Sukari detained a guy who tried to scam a petro station attendant out of Sh3,000 by altering a Mpesa message.
On Saturday, January 7, 2023, Mr. Nicholas Maina, a mechanic employed in Githurai 45, Kiambu County, filled petro valued at Sh300.
Later that evening, he returned to the petro station and spoke with the attendant while displaying a Sh3000 Mpesa payment.Mr. Nicholas Maina then wanted a refund.
In an amateur video going round on socials, the man is captured narrating that he could not alter the Mpesa message to steal from the attendant.
“I am not drunk as we talk, the vehicle is mine and trust me I have never ever stolen from anyone,” he is captured saying.
Mr. Maina instructed him to head straight to the fuel station and seek a refund, claiming that someone had assisted him in editing the message.
The individual claimed that Mr. Njoroge visited him in Githurai when they came up with their scheme to obtain the funds.
The attendant is then heard asking the suspect whether he was the one who had in the past conned him Sh7,000.
“I have never stolen from anyone, in fact, I usually feel very pained when someone steals from another,” he is captured saying.
Mr Maina said he would not repeat that mistake again, but the gathered mob did not listen. They tell him Sh3,000 is such a little amount that it would have cost him his life.

Manufacturer: Universal Studios Home Entertainment Brand: Family Model: 4941270
4 Times the Laughs! Enjoy 4 funny films the whole family can enjoy in the Family Comedy Quadruple Feature including Kindergarten Cop, Problem Child, Kicking & Screaming and Major Payne. Kindergarten Cop Arnold Schwarzenegger made a successful transition to comedy with this 1990 box-office hit directed by Ivan Reitman. Arnold plays an undercover cop whose attempt to locate a little boy and his mother leads him to a small-town kindergarten class, where he poses as a teacher while continuing his investigation. He's also trying to catch a vicious drug dealer (Richard Tyson), whose ex-wife and son are the pair that Arnold's trying to rescue from impending danger. The scenes featuring Arnold and a classroom full of kindergartners are a real hoot, and Pamela Reed offers enjoyable support as Schwarzenegger's police partner, while Penelope Ann Miller (as another teacher) provides a low-key romantic interest and Carroll Baker steals her scenes as the villain's domineering mother. These familiar elements combine to make this a surprisingly lively and entertaining comedy-thriller, but parents are advised to heed the PG-13 rating: there are a lot of funny kids in the movie, but it's still a police thriller, with a violent climax that's not suitable for young viewers. --Jeff Shannon Kicking and Screaming Will Ferrell is at his full, frenzied power as Phil Weston, a married, uncoordinated would-be sportsman with an uncoordinated would-be sportsman son--and an unresolved relationship with h...

Ozone is generated during any high-voltage, high-frequency discharge. The ozone is easily neutralised using standard ozone filter systems.
The improved adhesion strength can easily be measured either through contact-angle measurement or by using dyne inks. Dyne inks are available from Tantec. Look for the DyneTEC.
The mN/m level (or dyne level) reflects the surface wettability – the higher the mN/m level, the better the wettability/adhesion. As reference de-ionised water is 73mN/m at 20oC. (mN/m is mili Newton per Meter)
Tantec specialises in the development and manufacture of both standard and customised corona treatment equipment for almost any given application. (list of common applications)
In most cases, the corona equipment is integrated into the existing production equipment.
Almost all commonly used base materials are easily treated. The material list includes mateials such as :
|Cross Linked Polymers||PC||ABS||PS|
Yes. Metal surfaces can be treated by using special insulated electrodes or the PlasmaTEC treatment nozzles. Treatment of Metal surfaces is often a matter of both cleaning and surface activation. Often Stainless steel surfaces are treated with either Ceramic Corona Electrodes or PlasmaTEC nozzles to ensure max. wettability and cleaning before bonding etc.

Eysenhardtia polystachya is widely used in folk medicine as an anti-rheumatic and analgesic
agent, but no systematic study of its effects on several markers associated with rheumatoid
arthritis and its ethnomedical use as analgesic agent has been performed. We evaluated the
anti-arthritic and antinociceptive properties of an ethanolic extract of E. polystachya (EE) bark
and its rich-flavonoids fractions in murine models. The EE was administered orally at doses of
25, 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg/day, and its fractions at 25 mg/kg/day in all animal models. Antiarthritic
activity was evaluated using a complete Freund´s adjuvant (CFA)-induced rheumatoid
arthritis model in rats. The severity of arthritis was evaluated by changes in paw oedema,
body weight, arthritic index, radiological scores, histological assessment of synovial joints,
erythrocyte sedimentation rate, haematocrit, haemoglobin, serum rheumatoid factor, serum
C-reactive protein and serum levels of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1β, IL-6, TNF-α,
IL-18, IFN-γ, GM-CSF, and anti-inflammatory cytokines IL-4, IL-10, IL-13. Antinociceptive
activity was evaluated using an acetic acid-induced abdominal contraction test and a hot-plate
test in mice. EE and its rich-flavonoids fractions inhibited secondary inflammatory reactions,
diminished the specific histopathological alterations in the joint capsule and reduced the serum
concentrations of the pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-6, TNF-α, and GM-CSF in arthritic rats.
EE also reduced the number of writhes produced by acetic acid and increased the response time
on the hot plate for mice. Our findings support the use of Eysenhardtia polystachya bark for the
treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and pain management.

52 | ASPIRE , Winter 2010 A A S H T O L R F D Slab-on-Beam Bridge Live Load Distribution Factors T h e s l a b - o n - b e a m b r i d g e l i v e l o a d distribution factors of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications were originally developed by Imbsen & Associates Inc., through N a t i o n a l C o o p e r a t i v e H i g h wa y Re s e a r c h Program (NCHRP) Project 12-26, Distribution of Wheel Loads on Highway Bridges. Originally, this project resulted in an AASHTO guide specification (which is now out-of-print) for use with the AASHTO Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges. Subsequently, the original developers adapted the distribution factors for inclusion in the LRFD Specifications. The major differences between the factors in the guide specifications and those of the LRFD Specifications are twofold. Each set of factors reflects the different multiple-presence factors of the two bridge specifications. Second, the LRFD Specifications deals with vehicle or lane loads while the Standard Specifications deals with wheel loads. By itself, this difference in the treatment of loads would result in a difference of a factor of two. An examination of the live load distribution factors for slab-on-beam bridges demonstrates the enhanced sophistication of the LRFD distribution factors in comparison with the original factors of the Standard Specifications. The multiple-lane, liv e load distribution factor, g, of the Standard Specifications for the interior beam of a slab-on-beam bridge is: g S = 5 5 . in terms of wheel loads, or: g S = 11 in terms of vehicle or lane loads of the LRFD Specifications , where S equals the girder spacing. These factors are used for both moment and shear, and are very simple and easy to apply, yet they have been demonstrated to be conservative in some cases while unconservative in others. The LRFD multiple-lane distribution factor for moment of an interior girder of a slab-on-beam bridge, from LRFD Table 220.127.116.11.2b-1 is: g S S L K Lt g S = + 0 075 9 5 12 0 6 0 2 3 . . . . 0 1 . in terms of vehicle or lane loads, where S equals the girder spacing, L equals the span length, K g represents the longitudinal stiffness, and t s equals the slab thickness. A different distribution factor equation is used for shear. Obviously, the LRFD distribution-factor equation is more complicated, yet each term of the equation reflects more accuracy in determining live load distribution. The first term of the product, (S/9.5), 0.6 represents the traditional distribution factor illustrating the strong dependency on girder spacing. The next term of the product, (S/L), 0.2 reflects the aspect ratio of the girder spacing divided by length of the bridge. The wider the spacing relative to the bridge length, the less distribution of load or the higher the distribution factor. The final term of the product represents the longitudinal stiffness of the bridge divided by its transverse stiffness. The stiffer the bridge is in the longitudinal direction relative to its stiffness in the transverse direction, again the less distribution of load or the higher the distribution factor. Clearly, the more complex live load distribution equations provide opportunities to capture load-distribution effects beyond those of the traditional simple equations. The presentation of live load distribution factors in LRFD Article 18.104.22.168 is based upon several tables. Table 22.214.171.124.1-1 summarizes the various bridge and girder types for which live load distribution is defined in the specifications. Subsequent tables are keyed to the types included in this table. Tables 126.96.36.199.2b-1 and 188.8.131.52.2d-1 specify live load distribution factors for moment of interior and exterior girders, respectively. Reduction factors based upon skew angle are given for distribution factors for moment in Table 184.108.40.206.2e-1. Tables 220.127.116.11.3a-1 and 18.104.22.168.3b-1 specify live load distribution factors for shear of interior and exterior girders, respectively. Finally, correction factors for load distribution factors for support shear of the obtuse corner are given in Table 22.214.171.124.3c-1. by Dr. Dennis R.

Could Breastfeeding Reduce Your Risk of Endometriosis?
Breastfeeding isn't just good for your baby: Research suggests the act can lower a woman's risk of heart attack, postmenopausal osteoporosis, obesity and more. Now, we may be able to add endometriosis to that list: A new study finds a link between breastfeeding and decreased risk of the chronic disorder.
Endometriosis can cause painful periods and intercourse, and it affects about 10 percent of women in the United States. Until now, there haven't been many scientifically proven ways to reduce endometriosis risk—but according to research published in the The British Medical Journal (BMJ), women who breastfeed for a greater duration have lower chances of being diagnosed with the condition.
The researchers studied a group composed of thousands of women for over 20 years—and 3,296 of those women were surgically diagnosed with endometriosis. They also observed data collected from the Nurses' Health Study, which began in 1989.
A relationship between breastfeeding habits and endometriosis risk emerged: The researchers found that for every three months a woman nursed, her endometriosis risk declined by 8 percent. Among mothers who exclusively breastfed, the drop was 14 percent for every three months of breastfeeding. Nursing multiple children also showed a positive effect, as it added to the total number of months each woman spent breastfeeding—women who nursed exclusively for at least 18 months had a 30 percent reduction in risk.
The researchers behind this study aren't quite sure how this link works. While they initially theorized that postpartum amenorrhea (the absence of menstrual periods in the postpartum period) may be at the root, they realized that this is only part of the equation, and that other mechanisms likely contributed to this link. While this study only included women who were diagnosed with endometriosis in the postpartum period, researchers are curious as to whether breastfeeding could reduce symptoms in those who were diagnosed before getting pregnant.

“We found that women who breastfed for a greater duration were less likely to be diagnosed with endometriosis. Given the chronic nature of endometriosis and that very few modifiable risk factors are currently known, breastfeeding may be an important modifiable behavior to reduce the risk of endometriosis among women after pregnancy," said corresponding author Leslie Farland, according to a Brigham and Women's Hospital release. “Our work has important implications for advising women who are looking to lower their risk of endometriosis. We hope that future research will illuminate whether breastfeeding could help lessen the symptoms of endometriosis among women who have already been diagnosed.”

This Voyager 2 image of the Uranian rings delta, gamma, eta, beta and alpha (from top) was taken Jan. 23, 1986. The spacecraft was 1.12 million kilometers (690,000 miles) away when its narrow-angle camera obtained this clear-filter view. This image illustrates the broad outer component and narrow inner component of the eta ring, which orbits Uranus at a radius of some 47,000 km (29,000 mi). The broad component is considerably more transparent than the dense, narrow inner eta component, as well as the other narrow rings shown. Resolution here is about 10 km (6 mi). The Voyager project is managed for NASA by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

Rosalyn Landor’s versatile voice animates the myriad characters that inhabit Mary Poppins’s enchanted world when the much-loved nanny returns to the Banks’s residence. Jane’s and Michael’s lives ride a line between fantasy and reality when a clever china cat figurine and a marble statue of a boy come to life and teach them the value of appreciation. Landor adds an air of pomposity to her British accent in her portrayal of the detached Mr. Banks while Mrs. Banks’s uncertainty on how to handle her children is conveyed in Landor’s high, fluctuating tones. Meanwhile, Mary Poppins’s cool confidence comes through in Landor’s steady pacing and precise pronunciation, which also highlight Poppins’s dry humor and enigmatic character.

In a multi-link arrangement, the lower arms experiences roughly double the cornering force of the upper arms. The lower camber arm in all modern BMW's also supports the spring and shock adding the weight of the car and dampening forces.
Approximately 43% of all the springs force is applied at the subframe end of the lower arm. This can result in excessive and problematic deflection in the factory rubber bush this replaces as well as the subframe bushings in E8X/E9X's. This issue compounds dramatically when increasing spring rates.
By using a bearing mounted arm you eliminate unwanted bushing flex providing far more consistent camber & toe geometry when cornering, under power & braking while allowing the spring and shock to precisely react to the wheels motion for a more controlled and predictable ride overall.
We consider this a must have for any E8X/E9X/F8X BMW.
The ball joint we use in this product is identical to and made by the the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM=LEMFÖRDER) as the ball joint at the other end of the arm pressed into the upright. Being a sealed and lubricated bearing experiencing less force, we intend it to last many years of operation.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) -- New York's third annual youth deer hunt will take place over the Columbus Day weekend.
The state Department of Environmental Conservation says seasoned hunters can take the opportunity to serve as mentors to younger generations during the weekend.
During the hunt, 14- and 15-year old junior hunters may take a deer of either sex with a firearm when accompanied by a licensed and experienced adult mentor.
About 15,000 to 20,000 eligible junior hunters are expected to participate in the 2014 youth deer hunt. In the past two years, an estimated 60 percent of eligible junior hunters participated and DEC estimated that they took more than 1,400 deer.
