What is unique about the Niger River?
Interesting Niger River Facts
The Niger has one of the most unusual routes of any of the major rivers in the world. It starts approximately 150 miles from the Atlantic Ocean (240 kilometers). Instead of flowing to the nearby Atlantic Ocean it instead heads inland, away from the sea into the Sahara Desert.
Why is the Niger river called the Oil River?
Oil Rivers, area comprising the delta of the Niger River in modern Nigeria, West Africa. … It was renamed the Niger Coast Protectorate in 1893 and in 1900 was joined to the Nigerian territories administered by the British government. Its name derives from the palm oil that was the chief product of the area.
What is the original name of River Niger?
|Niger River or Fleuve Niger (Joliba, Orimiri, Isa Ber, Oya, gher n gheren)|
|Name origin: Unknown. Likely From Berber for River gher|
|Countries||Guinea, Mali, Niger, Benin, Nigeria|
What does the Niger River empty into?
Why is the Niger river dangerous?
The health hazards become most serious during the rains, which bring flooding and a sharp rise in water-born diseases. Cholera outbreaks are common. Every year hundreds of people die from this severe diarrhoeal disease which is spread through contaminated water.
What animals live in the Niger River?
Many varieties of fish are found in the Niger and its tributaries; the chief food species are catfish, carp, and Nile perch. Other Niger fauna include hippopotamuses, at least three different types of crocodiles (including the much-feared Nile crocodile), and a variety of lizards. There is a rich collection of birds.
What is the shortest river in Africa?
The Niger River flows past the town of Mopti, in Mali. Fishing is an important activity along the length of the river system, especially during the dry season when the deep-sea and coastal fish catch is smallest.
Is Nigeria named after River Niger?
The nations of Nigeria and Niger are named after the river. The people who live along it have a variety of names for it, notably Jeliba in Manding, Isa Ber ("big river" in Songhay), Joliba (a Mandigo word meaning Great River), and Kworra or Quorra.
Where is West Africa's largest river?
The Niger River, with a total length of about 4100 km, is the third-longest river in Africa, after the Nile and the Congo/Zaire Rivers, and the longest and largest river in West Africa.
How did Niger get its name?
The country takes its name from the Niger River, which flows through the southwestern part of its territory. The name Niger derives in turn from the phrase gher n-gheren, meaning "river among rivers," in the Tamashek language.
Which civilization was located at the mouth of the Niger river?
Called the Niger Bend, the middle of the river was a focal point for trade across the western Sahara and a major center of the ancient African kingdom of Mali. Since the early days of civilization in the region, the river has been a source of power also in the constant wars that have battered the region.
Which state is River Niger located in Nigeria?
The River Niger Bridge in Onitsha (also known as the Onitsha Bridge), Anambra State, Nigeria connects southeastern Nigeria with western Nigeria over the Niger River. It is linked to Asaba in Delta State, Nigeria.

How was the Niger River important to civilization in West Africa?
The Niger river provided irrigation and drinking water in the more arid parts of the these empires. The river was a food source providing fish, and other food to the people of the empires. Many civilizations had their beginnings along side a river.
What are the major rivers in West Africa?
Geographically, West Africa is predominantly plains. It also features numerous rivers. Major rivers include the Niger, Senegal, Gambia, and the Kolenté (Great Scarcies).
How many rivers are in Nigeria?
In Nigeria there are eight main river basins, i.e. the Benue, Delta and Cross Rivers, the Imo-Anambra, Hadejia-Chad, Sokoto-Rima, Niger, Owena and Ogun, and Osun Basins.

Getting started with a PhysiCell Virtual Appliance
Note: This is part of a series of "how-to" blog posts to help new users and developers of BioFVM and PhysiCell. This guide is for for users in OSX, Linux, or Windows using the VirtualBox virtualization software to run a PhysiCell virtual appliance.
These instructions should get you up and running without needed to install a compiler, makefile capabilities, or any other software (beyond the virtual machine and the PhysiCell virtual appliance). We note that using the PhysiCell source with your own compiler is still the preferred / ideal way to get started, but the virtual appliance option is a fast way to start even if you're having troubles setting up your development environment.
What's a Virtual Machine? What's a Virtual Appliance?
A virtual machine is a full simulated computer (with its own disk space, operating system, etc.) running on another. They are designed to let a user test on a completely different environment, without affecting the host (main) environment. They also allow a very robust way of taking and reproducing the state of a full working environment.
A virtual appliance is just this: a full image of an installed system (and often its saved state) on a virtual machine, which can easily be installed on a new virtual machine. In this tutorial, you will download our PhysiCell virtual appliance and use its pre-configured compiler and other tools.
What you'll need:
 - VirtualBox: This is a free, cross-platform program to run virtual machines on OSX, Linux, Windows, and other platforms. It is a safe and easy way to install one full operating (a client system) on your main operating system (the host system). For us, this means that we can distribute a fully working Linux environment with a working copy of all the tools you need to compile and run PhysiCell. As of August 1, 2017, this will download Version 5.1.26.
 - PhysiCell Virtual Appliance: This is a single-file distribution of a virtual machine running Alpine Linux, including all key tools needed to compile and run PhysiCell. As of July 31, 2017, this will download PhysiCell 1.2.2 with g++ 6.3.0.
 - A computer with hardware support for virtualization: Your CPU needs to have hardware support for virtualization (almost all of them do now), and it has to be enabled in your BIOS. Consult your computer maker on how to turn this on if you get error messages later.
Main steps:
1) Install VirtualBox.
Double-click / open the VirtualBox download. Go ahead and accept all the default choices. If asked, go ahead and download/install the extensions pack.
2) Import the PhysiCell Virtual Appliance
Go the "File" menu and choose "Import Virtual Appliance". Browse to find the .ova file you just downloaded.
Click on "Next," and import with all the default options. That's it!
3) [Optional] Change settings
You most likely won't need this step, but you can increase/decrease the amount of RAM used for the virtual machine if you select the PhysiCell VM, click the Settings button (orange gear), and choose "System":We set the Virtual Machine to have 4 GB of RAM. If you have a machine with lots of RAM (16 GB or more), you may want to set this to 8 GB.
Also, you can choose how many virtual CPUs to give to your VM:
We selected 4 when we set up the Virtual Appliance, but you should match the number of physical processor cores on your machine. In my case, I have a quad core processor with hyperthreading. This means 4 real cores, 8 virtual cores, so I select 4 here.
4) Start the Virtual Machine and log in
Select the PhysiCell machine, and click the green "start" button. After the virtual machine boots (with the good old LILO boot manager that I've missed), you should see this:
Click the "More ..." button, and log in with username: physicell, password: physicell
5) Test the compiler and run your first simulation
Notice that PhysiCell is already there on the desktop in the PhysiCell folder. Right-click, and choose "open terminal here." You'll already be in the main PhysiCell root directory.
Now, let's compile your first project! Type "make template2D && make" And run your project! Type "./project" and let it go!Go ahead and run either the first few days of the simulation (until about 7200 minutes), then hit <control>-C to cancel out. Or run the whole simulation–that's fine, too.
6) Look at the results
We bundled a few tools to easily look at results. First, ristretto is a very fast image viewer. Let's view the SVG files: As a nice tip, you can press the left and right arrows to advance through the SVG images, or hold the right arrow down to advance through quickly.
Now, let's use ImageMagick to convert the SVG files into JPG file: call "magick mogrify -format jpg snap*.svg"
Next, let's turn those images into a movie. I generally create moves that are 24 frames pers se, so that 1 second of the movie is 1 hour of simulations time. We'll use mencoder, with options below given to help get a good quality vs. size tradeoff:
When you're done, view the movie with mplayer. The options below scale the window to fit within the virtual monitor:
If you want to loop the movie, add "-loop 999" to your command.
7) Get familiar with other tools
Use nano (useage: nano <filename>) to quickly change files at the command line. Hit <control>-O to save your results. Hit <control>-X to exit. <control>-W will search within the file.
Use nedit (useage: nedit <filename> &) to open up one more text files in a graphical editor. This is a good way to edit multiple files at once.
Sometimes, you need to run commands at elevated (admin or root) privileges. Use sudo. Here's an example, searching the Alpine Linux package manager apk for clang:
physicell:~$ sudo apk search gcc
[sudo] password for physicell:
physicell:~$ sudo apk search clang
clang-analyzer-4.0.0-r0
clang-libs-4.0.0-r0
clang-dev-4.0.0-r0
clang-static-4.0.0-r0
emscripten-fastcomp-1.37.10-r0
clang-doc-4.0.0-r0
clang-4.0.0-r0
physicell:~/Desktop/PhysiCell$
If you want to install clang/llvm (as an alternative compiler):
physicell:~$ sudo apk add gcc
[sudo] password for physicell:
physicell:~$ sudo apk search clang
clang-analyzer-4.0.0-r0
clang-libs-4.0.0-r0
clang-dev-4.0.0-r0
clang-static-4.0.0-r0
emscripten-fastcomp-1.37.10-r0
clang-doc-4.0.0-r0
clang-4.0.0-r0
physicell:~/Desktop/PhysiCell$
Notice that it asks for a password: use the password for root (which is physicell).
8) [Optional] Configure a shared folder
Coming soon.
Why both with zipped source, then?
Given that we can get a whole development environment by just downloading and importing a virtual appliance, why
bother with all the setup of a native development environment, like this tutorial (Windows) or this tutorial (Mac)?
One word: performance. In my testing, I still have not found the performance running inside a
virtual machine to match compiling and running directly on your system. So, the Virtual Appliance is a great
option to get up and running quickly while trying things out, but I still recommend setting up natively with
one of the tutorials I linked in the preceding paragraphs.
What's next?
In the coming weeks, we'll post further tutorials on using PhysiCell. In the meantime, have a look at the
PhysiCell project website, and these links as well:

J.M. Ledgard is that rare writer who elevates hard reporting with unexpected language. Of the tallest building in the world, he observes that it is like a "glorious hypodermic needle". About ants, he muses, "As primitives we ate them, they were our crunch, and now they are lodged in our subconscious." As for exploring the depths of the sea, he suggests that unlike space travel, which "offers a sighted journey towards infinity", ocean descent involves "a blind journey towards finitude".
Based in Nairobi as The Economist's East Africa correspondent, he is also a regular contributor to Intelligent Life magazine, with features about Africa's digital revolution (for which he recently won a Diageo Africa business reporting award), ants and E.O. Wilson, and the ocean's eerily remote floor, among others. Given his affection for the unique turn of phrase, It is perhaps unsurprising that he is also a novelist. "Submergence", his second novel, now out from Jonathan Cape, is a story about a British secret agent who is held hostage by jihadist fighters in Somalia; a woman who has become a leading researcher of ocean life; and their brief love affair, memorable and remote. This is a thrilling work, written with a literary, Sebaldian flair.
Here at More Intelligent Life we are fans of Ledgard and excited about his book. For a better sense of what "Submergence" is about, listen to this interview between Ledgard and Fiammetta Rocco, The Economist's books and arts editor:


Local man makes statue for site of 1942 Liberator plane crash
Ireland's worst wartime air crash remembered
Local man makes statue for site of 1942 Liberator plane crash
A local man has made a plaque in honour of the crew and passengers aboard a plane which crashed on the Cooley Mountains in 1942.
Brendan Connolly from the Alphonsus Road made a statute to mark the spot of the crash of the RAF B-24 Liberator and the 15 people who died when it slammed into boggy ground on the side of Slievenaglogh Mountain, in the Rock Marshall Mountains near Jenkinstown during the Second World War.
Brendan also found pieces of what he believes to be parts of the crash, which he had blessed by a priest in StPatrick's Cathedral.
He made a concrete base using bottles of water that he took up the mountain to make the concrete plinth.
A top the plinth he made a concrete cast modelof the Liberator bomber.
Brendan was sponsored by the Greenore Railway Saloon, Quay Sports, Dundalk Plumbing Limited, The Windmall Bar and Lounge, Life Pharmacy, Staunton Office Supplies and Devenney's Print, Stationary and Art Supplies.
The RAF B-24 Liberator crashed into the mountain after getting lost in thick fog while making a trip from Egypt to RAFHurn in Dorset.
The flight crew were told before they reached the half way point in their journey to turn around due to extreme weather conditions.
However - nearing the point of no return - they decided instead to continue on their fateful journey.
Sadly it left its course and running low on fuel, the crew saw the lights of a city which they understood to be Dublin.
The crew decided to attempt a landing at Greencastle Airfield, County Down. However thick mist hampered visibility, resulting in the aircraft crashing into Slieve-na-Gloc and breaking apart on impact.
The alarm was raised by a local man by the name of McKevitt who heard a plane overheard before a loud crash.
After he witnessed the scene he got medical help, and miraculously there were five survivors.
Accounts vary, but ultimately 15 people died as a result of the crash.
Writing in 2006 in the Democrat, former editor and current columnist Peter Kavanagh wrote: "In spite of this, it is my own memory of the times is that many people from Dundalk went out to the scene of the crash in the days and weeks that followedhunting for souvenirs.
"The wreckage of the plane was scattered over a wide area and I recall that at about that time we got a load of turf from the mountain delivered to our homein Dundalk.
"Fuel was very scarce at the point in the war and we burned anything we could get to keep us warm in cold weather.
"Later, when the bottom of the turf pile was reached, my brother found several aeroplane parts, including some heavy ammunition cases, buried in the mould."
David Tolson - a brother of the one of the airmen killed - visited the site with family in 2002.
Brendan statute is not the first memorial on the mountain of course.
Previously Noel Roddy erected a metal plaque near the site.
The plane was one of the three to crash during the war.
A British Hudson bomber crashed killing 3 in 1941 and a P-51 Mustang fighter of the US Army Air Forces crashed in September 1944 killing its pilot.

Study: Pretrial Juvenile Detention Increases Odds of Felony Recidivism by 33%
Jurisdictions use pretrial confinement to ensure that young people who have been accused of an offense attend court hearings. It is the most common use of local detention facilities, accounting for 75% of all admissions.
Yet, a stay in pretrial juvenile detention increases a young person's likelihood of felony recidivism by 33% and misdemeanor recidivism by 11%, according to a new peer-reviewed study published in Crime and Delinquency.
The study, conducted by researchers at the University of Washington and supported by the Annie E. Casey Foundation, looked at how long young people spend in pretrial detention and what impact this has on recidivism. Its findings deliver a clear call for changing the status quo in favor of strategies that avoid detaining young people before their cases are adjudicated.
The researchers found that any pretrial detention stay — regardless of its length — increases the likelihood of recidivism. They also discovered that when a young person spends additional days in detention for pretrial reasons, their risk of recidivism jumps by 1% a day.
"This study affirms what we have long believed — that young people are thrown off course by even a single day in pretrial detention," says Nate Balis, director of the Foundation's Juvenile Justice Strategy Group. "These young people, who are presumed innocent because there has been no determination of guilt, are separated from their families, schools, jobs and communities with lasting consequences."
To assess the impact of pretrial detention, the University of Washington researchers analyzed more than 46,000 juvenile cases across 32 jurisdictions in a northwest state from January 2002 through December 2015.
The study defined recidivism as a recorded court filing by a prosecutor within one year of a young person's initial offense (probation violations were not included in this calculation). This approach revealed a significant correlation between "pretrial detention and both felony and misdemeanor recidivism within one year."
Pretrial detention was associated with higher felony recidivism for youth who had few or no prior arrests. According to the study, detained youth who are at lowest risk for reoffending "will learn deviant behaviors, experience disruption in important protective influences, or be exposed to traumatic experiences when placed in secure care even for a very limited duration."
In addition, the findings did not support the notion that pretrial detention served to dissuade other youth in the community from committing crimes.
"As shown by our Juvenile Detention Alternatives Initiative®, there are more effective and equitable ways than detention to ensure that young people who are arrested — but who present no serious and immediate threat to their communities — will appear in court," Balis says.

The review was started by The European Medicines Agency's (EMA) Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC) at its meeting February 4-7 2013.
The French medicines regulatory agency (ANSM) requested this Europe-wide review, after stating that they would suspend the permission to advertise Diane 35 and its generics for the treatment of acne in France over the next 3 months.
They came upon this decision after analyzing reports from a 20-year period taken from the French national pharmacovigilance database that showed that some people taking Diane 35 and its generics developed:
- venous thromboembolism - the forming of blood clots in the veins
- arterial thromboembolism - the forming of blood clots in the arteries
For several years, these drugs have been approved at the level of individual EU Member Sates, and are taken all across Europe. However, each state decides independently and differently on their usage.
They are approved as a form of birth control (contraceptive) in several countries for women with hormone-related issues, such as:
- alopecia - loss of hair
- hirsutism - excessive growth of hair on the face
Scientists are aware of the low risk of developing venous thromboembolism with these medications; the drug comes with a written warning cautioning patients and doctors anyway.
"European legislation requires that there is a coordinated European approach when a Member State takes regulatory action in relation to a medicine that is authorized in more than one country."
Consequently, all existing data on the benefits and risks of these drugs will be assessed by the PRAC so that they can give a recommendation on whether their marketing authorizations should stay as they currently are, be modified, suspended, or repealed.
The PRAC is putting the interest of all patients in the European Union into consideration, and expect that their decision will be made at the 13-16 May 2013 meeting.
The authors concluded:
"Pending the outcome of the PRAC review, women who are currently taking Diane 35 or one of its generics are advised not to stop the medicine. If a woman has concerns, she can discuss them with her doctor."

One of the largest natural zeolites deposits in Russia. 13,3% of all reserves of natural Zeolites of the Russian Federation are concentrated within the boundaries Tatar-Shatrashan deposits.
Tatar-Shatrashan deposit of zeolite containing rocks was discovered in 1990 during regional searching for agro –crude ore, which were carried out by order of RosKomNedra, by All Union Scientific Research Institute Geolnerud the Party of Geology of phosphatic raw material.
In the 90s were confirmed prospects of deposit and its reserves estimated by further works. The deposit is located in 1,5 km north of the village Tatar Shatrashans in valleys of Bolshaya Yakla river. Zeolite – containing rocks reserves are estimated, by various categories, on 450 ha area in number of more 100 million tons.
Zeolite – containing rocks of Tatar-Shatrashan deposit are like complex multicomponent system of variable composition. General rock – forming components of this system are clinoptilolite, opal – cristobalite – tridymite phase (OCT – phase), clay minerals (montmorillonites) , calcspar and quarts are 90-95% of rocks volume. OCT – phase and montmorillonite together with zeolites are natural sorbents and characterized by physicochemical properties (adsorptive and cation exchange), which are essentially complete and enlarge the spectrum of physicochemical parameters of rock, and ultimately, determine handling abilities, products quality of OJSC "Zeolites of the Volga Region " and its possible application areas.

heartbeatConnectTimeout and heartbeatSocketTimeout can't be used to configure the MongoClient object. Instead, connectTimeout and socketTimeout values are used to configure the heartbeat.
cursorFinalizerEnabled has been removed.
Use a custom prefix
From APIM 3.7, you can use a custom prefix for your collection names. This is useful if you want to use the same databases for APIM and AM, for example.
On a new installation
If you are installing APIM for the first time, you need to update the following two values in the APIM Gateway and APIM API gravitee.yml files:
 - management.mongodb.prefix
 - ratelimit.mongodb.prefix
By default, these values are empty.
Migrating an existing installation
Before running any scripts, you must create a dump of your existing database. You need to repeat these steps on both APIM Gateway and APIM API.
 1. To prefix your collections, you need to rename them. You can use following this script, which renames all the collections by adding a prefix and rateLimitPrefix of your choice.
 2. Update values management.mongodb.prefix and ratelimit.mongodb.prefix in the gravitee.yml file.
Index
You can create an index using the script available from our MongoDB GitHub repository. You must use the correct version of this script for the version of APIM you are running.
If you use a custom prefix for collections, do not forget to set it on the first line of the script.
Security
Sometimes you need to apply specific security constraints and rules to users accessing your database. The following table summarizes how to define fine-grained constraints per collection.

Wayan Swantika of the local archaeology agency says workers digging a drainage basin last week in eastern Denpasar, Bali's capital, at first discovered a large stone about 1 meter (3 feet) underground.
Excavation teams have since uncovered a 57-meter (62-yard) structure that is believed to be the temple's foundation.
The find is still being analyzed, but given the shape and characteristics of the materials used, Swantika says he believes it was built sometime between the 13th and 15th centuries. He added that it is also thought to be the largest ancient temple ever discovered in Bali.

I describe the implementation of this architecture in more detail in this post. It is built on the following premises: ECS Services, load balancers, auto-scaling, etc. Let's go to the ECS console and create a new "Task Definition". A task definition is required for us to run a task in ECS. I did not show a Task Definition in the diagram because a Task is simply an "instance" of Task Definition. To test this, open the Amazon ECS console, select the Amazon ECS cluster that you created, and then choose Tasks, Run New Task. Click on "Task Definition" on the left-hand side menu.

In summary, these methods can be used insert, update or delete database records:
 1. UPDATE
 - load() to load the existing record from the database, passing the primary key of the record
 - bind() to set the new values for the fields
 - check() to perform any validation
 - store() to save the new values to the database
 2. INSERT
 - bind() to set the field values (the previous load() isn't appropriate here)
 - check() to perform any validation
 - store() to save the new record to the database
 3. DELETE
 - load() to load the record
 - delete() to delete it
Sample Module Code[edit]
Below is the code for a simple Joomla module which you can install and run to demonstrate use of the basic Table functionality. If you are unsure about development and installing a Joomla module then following the tutorial at Creating a simple module will help.
In a folder mod_basic_table create the following 3 files:
mod_basic_table.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<extension type="module" version="3.1" client="site" method="upgrade">
 <name>Basic Table demo</name>
 <version>1.0.1</version>
 <description>Code demonstrating basic use of Joomla Table class</description>
 <files>
 <filename module="mod_basic_table">mod_basic_table.php</filename>
 <filename>demomodules.php</filename>
 </files>
</extension>
mod_basic_table.php
<?php
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted Access');
use Joomla\CMS\Factory;
use Joomla\CMS\Table\Table;
$app = Factory::getApplication();
$input = $app->input;
echo "Module id is {$module->id}
";
// Tell Joomla to look in the current (module) directory for our table class file
Table::addIncludePath(__DIR__);
$moduleTable = Table::getInstance('DemoModules', 'Table', array());
if ($moduleTable->load($module->id))
{
 echo "Module title is {$moduleTable->title}
";

 $moduleParams = json_decode($moduleTable->params, true);
 $moduleParams['header_tag'] = 'h2';
 $note = $input->get('demonote', '', "STRING");
 $data = array("note" => $note, "params" => $moduleParams);
 $moduleTable->bind($data);
 $moduleTable->check();
 $moduleTable->store();
}
demomodules.php (our table class)
<?php
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
use Joomla\CMS\Table\Table;
class TableDemoModules extends Table
{

protected $_jsonEncode = array('params');
 function __construct(&$db)
 {
 parent::__construct('#__modules', 'id', $db);
 }

 function check()
 {
 $this->note .= " added via module";
 }
}
Zip up the mod_basic_table directory to create mod_basic_table.zip.
Within your Joomla administrator go to Install Extensions and via the Upload Package File tab select this zip file to install this sample mod_basic_table module.
Make this module visible by editing it (click on it within the Modules page) then:
 1. making its status Published
 2. selecting a position on the page for it to be shown
 3. on the menu assignment tab specify the pages it should appear on
When you visit a site web page then you should see the module in your selected position.
This modules demonstrates reading a record from the modules table then writing an update back to that record in the database.
All the modules are stored in the Joomla modules table, so we find the record which is associated with this basic table module. We do this by accessing the $module variable, which has $module->id property set to the id of the database record. This $module variable is available within the module itself (as is $params, which is why $moduleParams is used instead of $params as the variable set later in the code).
Some notes on the functionality of this module:
 - The module record is loaded from the database record and the title of the module output
 - The module params is json decoded into an associative array and the header tag is then set to 'h2' (which controls how the header title is displayed in the module on the web page)
 - The new note to be written to the module record is read from the demonote parameter in the URL, so you can set this yourself in the URL
 - The new note and params are written back to the database record using bind() and store() commands.
 - The params will be converted back to a json string because of the line protected $_jsonEncode = array('params'); in our table class
 - The check() function in our table class appends a string " added via module" to the note.
You can verify the changes to the database record by viewing the module record within the admin back-end.

 +Commentary:
 +Brahmi/Bacopa is an excellent rejuvenative for the mind and nervous system. It is one of two herbs commonly known as the legendary "Brahmi" of the ancient Ayurvedic texts (the other being Brahmi/Gotu Kola). In Vedic philosophy, Brahman is the name for the universal consciousness. Brahmi is a derivation of Brahman that literally means "energy of universal consciousness". A worthy name for an amazing herb that has been used for centuries to promote memory, intelligence and concentration. Bacopa supports the proper function of the brain and nerves, bringing balance to the nervous system while promoting clarity and awareness. It is also commonly used externally in a base of sesame oil as a special massage oil that calms and soothes the mind and nerves.*

 +BrahmiBotany: Brahmi is a prostate or creeping succulent annual herb, rooting at the nodes with numerous ascending branches. The leaves are oppositely arranged, margin simple, obovate-oblong, and sessile, with small black dots. The flowers are solitary, pale blue or white, borne in the leaf axils on long slender pedicles, giving rise to two-celled, two-valved ovoid capsules that contain numerous tiny seeds. Brahmi is found throughout tropical India in damp, marshy areas (Warrier et al 1994, 235; Kirtikar and Basu 1935, 1816). Brahmi is soometimes found as an ornamental ground cover, and is under cultivation in India and other warm, wet locations.

 + Prabhava: The name Brahmi means 'from Brahma,' the lord of Creation in the Hindu mythos, suggesting that this herb has the ability to faciliate divine consciousness (Srikanthamurthy 2001, 274; Warrier et al 1994, 235; Dash 1991, 101).
 +
 +Constituents: Researchers have isolated numerous glycosidal constituents from Brahmi, including the saponins monnierin and hersaponin, dammarane-type triterpenoid bacosaponins that include bacopasides III, IV, V, bacosides A and B (which upon acid hydrolysis yield the aglycones bacogenins A1-A5) and bacosaponins A, B and C. Other saponin glycosides include the jujubogenin bisdesmosides bacopasaponins D, E and F. Other constituents include a matsutaka alcohol derivative, a phenylethanoid glycoside, luteolin and luteolin-7-glucoside, the alkaloids brahmine, herpestine and a mixture of three bases, D-mannitol, betulic acid, ß-sitosterol, stigmasterol and its esters, heptacosane, octacosane, nonacosane, triacontane, hentriacontane, dotriacontane, nicotine, and 3-formyl-4-hydroxy-2H-pyran. The presence of a-alamine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid and serine has also been reported (Chakravarty et al 2003; Hou et al 2002; Yoganarasimhan 2000, 67; Mahato et al 2000; Garai et al 1996a; Garai et al 1996b; Rastogi et al 1994).
 +
 +Medical research:
 +
 +Memory: Seventy-six adults aged between 40 and 65 years took part in a double-blind randomized placebo control study in which various memory functions were tested and levels of anxiety measured before, during and after the administration of a Brahmi extract. Overall, the results indicated that Brahmi had a significant effect upon the retention of new information, specifically, decreasing the rate at which newly acquired information is forgotten (Roodenrys et al 2002). A double-blind placebo-controlled trial examined the activity of Bacopa monniera in healthy human subjects. B. monniera was shown to significantly improve the speed of visual information processing, learning rate and memory consolidation, and reduce anxiety. Maximal effects were observed after 12 weeks of administration (Stough et al 2001). An alcoholic extract of Bacopa monniera administered in rats subjected to learning performance tests provided better acquisition, improved retention and shortened reaction time than controls (Singh and Dhawan 1982).
 +
 +Dementia: The effect of a standardized extract of B. monniera was observed in scopolamine-induced dementia in mice, and in vitro to determine any anticholinesterase activity. The effect of Bacopa upon experimentally induced dementia was assessed with a passive avoidance test, upon which Bacopa had a significant, beneficial effect when compared to control groups. Bacopa also demonstrated a dose-dependent inhibitory effect on acetylcholinesterase activity, in vitro (Das et al 2002).
 +
 +Addiction and withdrawal: The effect of an alcoholic extract of Bacopa monniera on morphine withdrawal was evaluated in vitro in guinea-pig ileum. After a four minute in vitro exposure to morphine, the addition of naloxone induced a strong contraction. The addition of B. monniera (_PHONE_ microg/ml) 15 minutes before exposure to morphine reduced the naloxone-induced contraction in a dose-dependent manner, suggesting that B. monniera may be effective in reducing withdrawal symptoms induced by morphine (Sumathi et al 2002).
 +
 +Epilepsy: Bacopa monniera was evaluated alone and in combination with phenytoin for its effect on passive-avoidance task, maximal electroshock seizures and locomotor activity in mice. Phenytoin alone was found adversely affected cognitive function whereas Bacopa given along with phenytoin was found to reduce this effect (Vohora et al 2000).
 +
 +Endocrine: The effect of Bacopa monniera (200 mg/kg) upon the regulation of thyroid hormone concentrations in male mice was investigated. Serum T4 concentration was shown to increase by 41% without enhancing hepatic lipid peroxidation with administration of a B. monniera extract (Kar et al 2002).
 +
 +Antioxidant: Adult rats subjected to stress were pretreated with an oral dose of bacosides isolated from Bacopa monniera. Researchers noted an increase in the activity

Goodbye in Spanish = Adiós!
You can pronounce is like = ah-dee-OS!
This is a word that once you use once, whether you're trying to speak Spanish or not, you'll end up using it the rest of your life in your normal language just because it's such a cool word! Saying Goodbye in Spanish is one of the easiest words for your brain to stick with and remember and the action of leaving a person, event, conversation, etc, is such a common everyday event that we just keep thinking of the word over and over. But did you know there are other ways to say goodbye in Spanish? In this lesson we're going to talk about a few different ways to say goodbye in Spanish and also few ways that folks from various countries specifically say goodbye in Spanish. This will help you understand what someone is saying when you're visiting various Spanish speaking countries.
Another really common way to say goodbye in Spanish is also a form of Italian. I actually use this word more than using the word adiós. This words is Chau! Its a great quick way to say goodbye in Spanish and it kinda mixes Italian into it which I like as well. You can always combine the either of those forms of saying bye with including the subject of your conversation:
"señor," "señora," or "señorita" and so on.
But I'm sure you've heard of phrases in Spanish that also mean goodbye in Spanish too, right? Often times you'll here folks say something that doesn't really mean goodbye in Spanish but it means something relational to your health, your luck, or seeing you again in the future. So how do you say all of those? Great question!
One of the most common words you'll here in the Spanish language is the word hasta. Hasta can actually be used to describe directions or a situation or a time that goes "up until" a certain point. You could think of the word hasta as up until. Here are some great examples of how to use the word hasta.
- Hasta mañana. (Until tomorrow.)
- Hasta luego. (Until later.)
- Hasta pronto. (Until soon, see you soon.)
- Hasta entonces. (Until then.)
- Hasta más tarde. (Until later.)
- Hasta siempre. (Until forever. Although well known, this phrase has a very strong connotation of permanence. It might be used when a couple is separated by death). We don't recommend using this phrase much since it might not sound sincere due to its strong meaning.
Another really common phrase that I use a lot, especially if I plan on seeing someone again that day or at a specific event, is the phrase nos vemos. The word "nos" stands for "we" and the word "vemos" if the conjugated form of "ver" which means "to see". Vemos is the conjugation of "us" so the phrase actually means "we see us" referring to a point in the future. I know, it sounds we're when you think about it in English because you're thinking it's missing a few words and things seem out of place. Welcome to Spanish 🙂 Don't think of phrases or sentence structures as wrong but just different and correct in their own way. Your best bet is to just accept it for what it is and then start to use it as much as possible until it sounds natural and your brain accepts it.
Hopefully this articled help you learn a little bit about the different ways to say goodbye in Spanish. If you're wondering about some other simple Spanish phrases, check out my other articles on how to say good morning in Spanish and how to say hello in Spanish.

Tests Suggest 10,000-Year-Old Brit Had Dark Skin, Blue Eyes

Genetic material from a 10,000-year-old skeleton suggests the oldest-known Briton had dark skin and blue eyes.
Scientists from Britain's Natural History Museum and University College London reported the finding Wednesday after studying the remains of an individual known as "Cheddar Man."
The skeleton was discovered over a century ago. It was found inside a large hole in the Cheddar Gorge area of southwest England.
The researchers cut a hole into the skull of the human remains and removed DNA from bone powder.
The letters DNA are short for the term deoxyribonucleic acid. Scientists call it the chemical of life.
DNA is made up of genes. Genes, like letters in words, carry a huge amount of information. They tell cells how to make all the materials for life.
The British scientists say their tests showed Cheddar Man had dark, wavy hair, blue eyes and "dark to black" skin color.
The researchers say the evidence suggests that Europeans' light skin coloring developed much later than experts had thought.
Cheddar Man overturns people's expectations of what kinds of genetic qualities go together, said Tom Booth, who worked on the project.
"It seems that pale eyes entered Europe long before pale skin or blond hair, which didn't come along until after the arrival of farming," he added.
Some experts believe that ancient humans who lived in extreme northern areas may have developed light colored skin. They note light skin is able to take in more sunlight than darker skin. Sunlight is required for the body to produce vitamin D.
Cheddar Man shares genetic similarities with other human remains found in Spain, Hungary and Luxembourg. All those individuals lived in the Mesolithic Period, also known as the Middle Stone Age Period. The group, known as Western Hunter-Gatherers, moved to Europe from the Middle East after the last Ice Age, about 12,000 years ago.
The Associated Press says Cheddar Man is the oldest complete skeleton found in Britain. Human beings had lived on the island off and on for thousands of years before his time, but they disappeared during periodic ice ages.
Cheddar Man would have been one of a very small population of hunter-gatherers in Britain at the time. Scientists, who have been studying his skeleton, say he appears to have had a healthy diet but died in his 20s, possibly through violence.

gerund: This plant is prone to being attacked by insects.
meaning: insects have attacked the plant or like plants before.
BE + past participle: This plant is prone to be attacked by insects.
meaning, the plant will definitely be attacked by insects.

This iconic breakfast is dear to the heart of Sam I Am and millions of others. Use this recipe to prepare Dr. Seuss's famous meal.
Step 1: Make pesto Make pesto by blending the basil, parsley, garlic, pine nuts, cheese, and olive oil into a smooth paste, adding additional oil if it's too thick. Then add salt and pepper to taste.
Step 2: Make toast Warm the bread in the oven or toast it.
Step 3: Cook the ham Add a tablespoon of oil to a skillet and fry the ham for one to two minutes -- until it gets crispy around the edges. Then put it in the oven with the toast.
Step 4: Scramble the eggs Melt a pat of butter in the skillet and scramble the eggs.
TIP: If you prefer, you can cook the eggs sunny side up or poach them. There are as many recipes available for fixing green eggs and ham as Sam I Am suggests in the book.
Step 5: Arrange the plates Take the toast out of the oven or toaster and divide it onto four plates, put two eggs on each piece, and drizzle pesto over the eggs. Add a slice of ham, and sprinkle Parmesan cheese over everything. Garnish the plates with basil leaves.
Step 6: Eat Enjoy your green eggs and ham in a box, with a fox, in a house, or with a mouse. You can eat them here or there -- you can eat them anywhere!
FACT: The Dr. Seuss classic, Green Eggs and Ham, is the result of a challenge issued to the author by his publisher -- to write a book using fewer than 50 words.

The original Scripps marine biological laboratory, 1910
Scripps HistoryA leader and innovator in oceanography and marine technology for 100 years, Scripps Institution of Oceanography began when the right people, the right place, and the right time all converged in San Diego, California, in 1903.
Infinite secrets were awaiting discovery in the oceans, and UC Berkeley zoology professor William Ritter and his students were eager to uncover them. A visionary group of leaders in San Diego believed the West Coast needed a dedicated year-round marine laboratory and that their city was the ideal location. From this fusion of intellect and resources came the nation's first multidisciplinary oceanographic institution, later named Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
Since becoming part of the University of California in 1912, the institution has expanded its scope to include studies of the physics, chemistry, geology, biology, and climate of the Earth.
A century of Scripps science has had an invaluable impact on oceanography, on understanding of the Earth, and on society. More than 300 research programs are under way today in a wide range of scientific areas in 65 countries.

National Archives at Boston
The Navy used similar shipboard firefighting trainers at schools around the world through the Vietnam War era.
An apparently insignificant relic on the shore of a small island in Casco Bay was crucial to successful firefighting efforts on Navy ships in World War II.
In two years of operation, the Chebeague Island school trained some 15,000 sailors.
After the war, the government sold the island to a private investor. The state purchased it in 1972.

REBa2Cu3O7-δ (RE = rare earth, REBCO) thick films with Tcs of 91 K and Jcs over 1 MA/cm2 have successfully been grown on single crystal substrates by liquid phase epitaxy (LPE), with a fast growth rate of 1 μm/min. However, the growth of REBCO thick films on metallic substrate is much more difficult. There is an urgent need to find a suitable metallic substrate and its buffer layers, which can meet the special conditions of the LPE growth. We have developed a new buffer, Nd2CuO4, on surface oxidised Ni tape by a number of liquid-phase processing methods. The Nd2CuO4 buffer layers grown from liquid phase had excellent biaxial texture and a good surface smoothness suitable for subsequent REBCO growth. LPE growth of YBCO on such Nd2CuO4/NiO/Ni substrates showed that dense nucleation of YBCO on Nd2CuO4 was possible without any REBCO seed layer and there was little reaction between the Nd2CuO4 buffer and the high-temperature CuO:BaO solution.

The Evolution of Forklift Design and Its Impact on Construction Sites
In a world where we chase efficiency and safety, the evolution of forklift design speaks volumes about the industry's commitment to progress. Over time, forklifts have evolved with technological advancements and innovative engineering, completely overhauling construction-site function.
Let's dive into the journey of forklift design and examine just how much they've impacted construction sites.
A Starting Base: Where it All Began
Inception of Forklifts
Forklifts came to life around the early 20th century. They were created as a way to solve manual material handling problems in warehouses. Although these machines don't even compare to the sleek ones we have now, they set the groundwork for future designs.
Back in those days, manual labour was normal. The creation of forklifts brought much-needed relief to workers who had to pick up heavy materials by hand. Their simple designs let them be operated by hand and cut out features that we now deem essential in contemporary forklifts. Still, this simple invention marked the birth of something great.
Basic Mechanical Features
Early forklifts had no fancy mechanical features that are standard today. Instead, they had manual controls with limited lifting capacity. Although these limitations make them inferior to what we have now, their introduction significantly lessened manual labour requirements across multiple industries.
The first forklift models were efficient due to their straightforward mechanics and control systems that required human input. Nonetheless, when put up against today's models their lifting capacities are laughable at best. However, even just cutting out some labour already made them indispensable tools in various industries like warehouses and manufacturing plants. Operating these simple machines may have been a small step, but it was one necessary step towards what would change construction sites forever.
Transition to Combustion Engines
Before the middle of the 20th century, forklifts were manually operated machines. However, that would soon change as they embraced combustion engines. This upgrade brought increased power and efficiency, making them more versatile in construction.
Around the mid-20th century, forklifts made their next leap toward becoming the powerful machines they are today. Forgoing manual operation in favour of combustion engines was a no-brainer as it revolutionised how they worked. With this new feature, they gained powers previously unattainable. Forklifts could now carry heavier loads and easily navigate complicated construction sites.
Challenges and Adaptations
Things weren't all sunshine and rainbows when forklifts transitioned to combustion engines though. The new power plants brought challenges relating to emissions and noise levels, which engineers quickly responded to. Things like mufflers and emission control systems quelled some concerns about environmental impact and made them better suited for construction sites.
With great power, comes great noise and emissions. The introduction of combustion engines to forklifts meant that they'd have to tackle the challenges of noise and emissions. Environmental responsibility was a new priority in the industry, so they quickly came up with ways to address these problems.
They created mufflers and emission control systems that helped reduce the negative impacts of forklifts on the ecosystem. Not only did this help the environment, but it made them better for construction sites too. Both noise and emission come in direct conflict with worker productivity on these sites. This period where there were challenges mixed with adaptations is what set up a sustainable future for forklift design.
The Technology Leap: Electric Forklifts
Introduction of Electric Forklifts
Electric forklifts gave construction a cleaner option when they were introduced in the late 20th century. It was also a more sustainable one, which made it ideal given how many practices were shifting towards an eco-friendly approach.
Enhanced Manoeuvrability
With electric forklifts came enhanced manoeuvrability which became a huge selling point to project managers who needed them on construction sites with little space to work with. On top of this benefit, electric forklifts were also loved because they emitted less noise.
Integration of Advanced Controls
Through technological advancements, models started coming out with advanced controls that allowed for smooth and efficient operation by those using them.
Battery Technology Advancements
Enhancements in battery technology extended how long electric forklifts could be used before recharging. This flexibility was key because, before this improvement, users would have to worry about recharging their equipment constantly.
Taking Challenges Head-On: Specialised Forklift Designs
Rough Terrain Forklifts
It's no secret that different projects take place on different types of land, making it hard when you're limited to one type of forklift. Recognising this, manufacturers designed a rough terrain forklift that can handle pretty much any type of surface. This is thanks to its all-terrain capabilities and increased lifting capacities.
Telescopic Handlers
Telescopic handlers, also known as telehandlers, are the hallmark of where forklift design was headed. The extendable booms have to allow them to lift materials high into the air with no trouble at all.
Automated Forklifts
Forklifts are just one of many things automated during this time in human history. This technology has helped eliminate most human errors such as hurting someone or breaking something.
Adapting to Specialised Industries
Every industry within construction faces unique challenges which was why specialised forklift designs began being produced. These designs were made to cater to specific industries within the field.
The Future Unveiled: Sustainability and Smart Technologies
Green Initiatives
Forklifts will probably come out with safety features like collision avoidance systems, automatic braking, and 360-degree cameras. With them, the risk of accidents will be reduced and job site safety will be better than ever.
IoT and Connectivity
The future of forklift design lies in the integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) and connectivity solutions. Smart forklifts equipped with sensors and data analytics capabilities will enable real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance, and enhanced operational efficiency.
Human-Machine Collaboration
The evolution of forklifts is not about replacing human involvement but enhancing collaboration. Future forklifts will focus on ergonomic designs and intuitive interfaces, fostering a seamless partnership between operators and machines for optimised productivity.
Conclusion
The forklifts of tomorrow are being built as we speak. With each passing day, construction sites are becoming more advanced. Helping them get there is this new line of forklifts that's built to be smarter than ever before. After all, they've had to evolve since their main purpose is helping workers meet construction deadlines.
It was clear from the start that a regular old basic material handler wasn't going to cut it if people wanted their buildings finished faster. From there, engineers really made use of technology and have turned forklifts into what they are today: highly specialised pieces of machinery.

Post-Hockey Nutrition Tips for Type 1 Diabetes
by Lisa Miadovnik, MSc.
Refueling after exercise is a hot topic in the health & fitness industry. From chocolate milk to protein bars and supplements, billions of dollars go into creating and marketing these products for post-workout nutrition. A widely-accepted recommendation is to consume a snack rich in simple carbohydrates and protein within 30 minutes of finishing a hockey game, practice, or workout, followed by a nutritious, slow-digesting protein- and carbohydrate-rich meal between 1-2 hours after1. When you factor in the time that hockey games are played at, that could mean eating a meal at 11:00 pm or later! In this article, we will discuss post exercise nutrition and late-night eating for athletes with type 1 diabetes.
Parents and athletes wonder about eating late at night, because it sounds so counterintuitive based on advice for the general population. What needs to be considered is that nutrition for athletes and nutrition for the general population are two very different things. Very little research has been conducted on post-workout nutrition for athletes with type 1 diabetes, in specific. However, the same basic principles should apply for all athletes, whether they have diabetes or not.
Let's look into this a little further;
In the average 60-minute game (3 periods of 20 minutes), a hockey player will only play for a total of about 20 minutes. Each shift lasts about 30-80 seconds, with heart rates reaching or exceeding 90% of their maximum each time2. Just to give some perspective, a 15 year-old would have a maximum heart rate of roughly 205 beats per minute (formula: 220 – age). Their heart rate would likely reach or exceed 185 beats per minute during each shift – that is some hard work being done on the ice!
Working at such high intensity is exhausting and burns up a lot of calories – calories that mostly come from glucose stored inside the muscle (called "muscle glycogen"). In a typical game, a hockey player will use up 60% of the muscle glycogen in their legs3, and burn about 950 calories depending on their size (950-calorie-estimate is based on a 60kg boy playing three 20-minute periods). Whether an athlete eats at 6pm or 11pm after training, and whether their body uses those nutrients to recover while they are awake or while they are sleeping – the most important factor is that the refueling happens. After such physically demanding work, the body needs to be refueled. Eating late at night can pose a bit of a problem for those with type 1 diabetes since it may mean going to bed with a fair amount of nutrients to be absorbed and a lot of insulin on board, which can sometimes cause large changes in blood glucose level unless these two things are balanced perfectly.
For type 1 diabetes, this concept is especially important with the risk of nocturnal hypoglycemia following exercise. As muscles replenish their glycogen stores by taking up glucose from the blood, blood sugar can drop if carbohydrates have not been eaten. If you are hypoglycemic or within a normal blood glucose range, a simple carbohydrate snack should be consumed immediately after games, and a balanced meal of slow-digesting carbohydrate, protein, and fat should be eaten 1-2 hours later. Experts advise to consume in excess of 1 gram of carbohydrate per kg of body weight to optimize glycogen store replenishment5. Usually, some amount of bolus insulin is needed to cover this amount of carbohydrate snack after a game or practice, but typically not the full amount. This should be discussed with your diabetes care team. This strategy should supply the fuel needed for recovery, while preventing hypoglycemia which can persist for up to 48 hours if sufficient carbohydrates are not consumed1.
There are additional factors to keep in mind when it comes to post-hockey eating for type 1 diabetes, such as blood glucose levels and trends. If blood sugars are high after hockey, you may wish to skip the high-carbohydrate snack immediately following exercise (within the 30-minute window) in favor of water, as there is already enough glucose in the blood that is available for your muscles to take up. In this case, the blood sugar will likely drop on its own within an hour or two following hockey (without the need for insulin), but the individual should be monitored to ensure blood glucose levels do not rise further.
Alternatively, the individual experiencing hyperglycemia may wish to take some insulin to help bring their blood glucose down. Some athletes with diabetes have found that a 50% correction bolus post-exercise helps to restore blood glucose levels without promoting hypoglycemia later in the night3 (i.e. taking only half the amount of insulin normally taken to correct a high blood sugar on a typical day). In either case, it is still advisable to eat a slow-digesting meal afterwards to prevent delayed hypoglycemia. In addition, setting a 20% temporary basal reduction at bedtime for about 6 hours helps protect against night time hypoglycemia after vigorous exercise6.
Ultimately, many experts agree that the timing of meals doesn't matter as much as ensuring the total amount of daily calories and nutrients consumed are within range. So the next time you get home late at night after playing a tough game, don't be afraid to eat. You may wish to have a meal of leftovers in the fridge for when you get home (or in the car for the ride home), so that the post-game meal is convenient and preparation time is minimal. By giving yourself the nutrients needed after intense physical activity, your legs will probably feel more refreshed the next day, and you'll have less risk of going hypoglycemic at night as well.

How To Stop Drunk Spins: Does Throwing Up Help?
Anyone who has ever gone overboard during a night out knows the nightmarish feeling of laying down and watching the room spin violently.
It's awful.
I used to spend many a night burying my head under a pillow, willing myself the ability to see straight.
It didn't work.
Mostly I just ran back and forth to the bathroom until the spinning stopped enough that I could reasonably pass out.
But why does it happen? And is there anything you can do about it?
A pixelated, multi-colored woman who appears visibly dizzy has stars above her head and bottles of alcohol in front of her. The title reads "The Truth About The Spins" and the URL reads soberish.co
Does throwing up help the spins?
Why does the room spin after a night of heavy drinking?
The technical term for what you are experiencing is vertigo.
You may also experience light-headedness, loss of balance, difficulty walking, nausea, and vomiting.
It has to do with alcohol's effect on your ears.
The inner ear system plays an integral role in our sense of balance. Alcohol specifically affects three fluid-filled semicircular canals.
The fluid is called endolymph. Inside these canals, we also have a gelatinous structure called the cupula and tiny, hair-like cells called stereocilia.
Incredibly, these tiny little parts play a big role in our ability to get around.
Normally, when we move around, the endolymph moves, which alters the shape of the cupula, and bends the stereocilia.
When the stereocilia bend, they send an electric signal to our brains to help make sense of the movement, helping us to feel balanced.
Alcohol disrupts inner ear balance.
Alcohol also thins your blood.
Thinned blood creates a difference in density between the cupula and endolymph, which changes the structure of the cupula.
This, in turn, bends the stereocilia, which send signals to your brain that says, "Hey, we're rotating!"
Except you're not.
This creates the spinning effect you get when you look up at the ceiling and start questioning your life choices.
Oh, and closing your eyes only makes it worse.
Without those visual clues to help your brain realize that the world is not spinning a mile a minute, the alcohol spins get worse.
the science behind alcohol spins
Does throwing up help the spins?
Somehow we all got it into our heads that making ourselves throw up when we get the spins is a good thing.
It's not.
First, it doesn't work. You might feel temporarily relieved by vomiting, but, at best, you've only eliminated the alcohol from your stomach that hasn't been absorbed into the bloodstream.
The other six rounds are still in your system and have to work their way out naturally.
Risks of throwing up to cure the spins:
Want to enrage a gastroenterologist? Tell them you make yourself throw up after a night of drinking.
To say it is ill-advised would be an understatement.
Self-induced vomiting puts additional strain on your esophagus than throwing up naturally. If done frequently, this can lead to esophageal tears, which cause you to throw up blood.
Vomiting also exposes your esophagus to stomach acid, which can exacerbate and cause inflammation of the esophageal lining, called esophagitis. Chronic esophagitis can lead to cancer of the esophagus.
Third, vomiting increases the risk of having partially digested food stuck in the respiratory tract (pulmonary respiration).
Even more likely, you give yourself a nasty case of heartburn and still have to suffer through the spins.
What can you do to stop the alcohol spins after a night of heavy drinking?
Nothing.
Let me say that again.
Nothing. Zip. Zilch. Nada.
You may read on the internet that you can ground yourself by placing a foot on the floor and focusing on an immobile object, but it doesn't work.
At least, not in any significant way.
Vomiting (we just talked about this) may help lessen the duration of your spins by eliminating the toxins from alcohol sitting in your stomach which has yet to be absorbed into your bloodstream.
However, most of the damage has been done by the time the spins have started. Throwing up is fruitless.
Another suggestion is watching TV to give your eyes (and brain) enough visual stimulation to combat vertigo.
Again, there is no evidence this makes a huge difference.
Ultimately, once you've reached spin levels of heavy drinking, the only way out is through.
You have to let your body do its thing until it passes.
So what CAN you do to prevent the spins?
Don't drink heavily.
The only way to avoid getting the spins is to monitor your alcohol intake and not overdo it.
Remember that binge drinking is considered 4+ drinks on a single occasion for women and 5+ drinks on a single occasion for men.
If you want to avoid the spins, you need to avoid meeting and surpassing those thresholds.
Limit your alcohol intake to moderate levels, or quit drinking altogether.
You don't have to figure this out on your own.

The Series III was designed to detect and track the hot exhaust gases of missiles at launch and during the boost phase. This data would be relayed to ground stations to give up to 30 minutes warning of an attack. A Series III in May 1963 became the first space-based sensor to detect successfully a missile launch. MIDAS was cancelled in the late 1960s, and the more advanced Defense Support Program early warning satellites were launched beginning in 1970. The manufacturer donated this unflown artifact to NASM in 1969.

Amphibians are small vertebrates that need water or a moist environment in order to survive. The species in this group include frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts. All of them can breathe and absorb water through their very thin skin. Amphibians also have special skin glands that are responsible for the production of useful proteins and also help in transport of water, oxygen and carbon dioxide either into or out of the animal. They also help in fighting bacteria or fungal infections and at least one of them is used for defense in each species. To warn their potential predators, it has been observed that the most toxic amphibians are also the brightest in colour. Curare, for example, is found on the skin of colorful poison dart frogs. The larvae are aquatic and free swimming frogs and toads which, at this stage, are called tadpoles. At a certain size, the young develop limbs and lungs. Some of them also lose their tails and eventually hop or climb out of the water as adults and spend the rest of their lives on land. This process is known as metamorphosis. Like reptiles, amphibians are cold-blooded. Because of their special skin, they require very specific living conditions. Too much sun can damage their cells. Too much wind can dry their skin and dehydrate the animal. As a result, amphibians are the first to die off when their habitats are disturbed or contaminated with chemicals like weed killers.
