MRI's Black Powder is a popular pre-workout mix that weightlifters use to increase energy, focus and muscle pump, to reduce fatigue and to increase performance in the gym. However, Black Powder can also have side effects. Side effects typically come from one of three sources: caffeine/stimulants, magnesium and nitric oxide production. These can cause a rapid heartrate, nervousness, diarrhea, a drop in blood pressure or vomiting.
Black Powder contains approximately 200 mg of caffeine, or about the equivalent of two cups of coffee per scoop. MRI recommends taking one scoop before a workout because of the caffeine and other stimulants it contains. According to Drug Information Online, those unaccustomed to products that contain caffeine may experience heart palpitations, dizziness, nervousness and irritability. Using the product within four hours of bedtime can also make it difficult to sleep. Depending on your sensitivity to stimulants, you may experience one or more of these side effects. These conditions typically lessen over time and continued use, because your body becomes more accustomed to the stimulants.
Because Black Powder contains magnesium oxide, it is possible to experience diarrhea or simply an urge to go to the bathroom during your workout. Magnesium can be used on its own as a laxative; when it's included in a pre-workout drink, users can experience diarrhea before or even during workouts.
Blood Pressure Drop
Black Powder increases nitric oxide production, which can lead to a drop in blood pressure as nitric oxide relaxes blood vessels. Nitric oxide gives you the pump bodybuilders strive for in the gym, and because blood is being pumped into your muscles during an intense workout, it is possible to become lightheaded or even to faint. It is also important to be careful that you don't cut yourself, because you may bleed more than usual due to the increase in blood flow.
Black Powder may also cause vomiting due to the combination of stimulants, increased nitric oxide and either the lack of a pre-workout meal or a poorly selected one. MRI recommends taking Black Powder on an empty stomach to enhance the nitric oxide effect. But doing this may cause you to vomit during your workout. This can also happen if you eat too close to your workout or select the wrong pre-workout meal. Typically, it's best to eat fast-digesting protein and slower-digesting carbohydrates 45 minutes to one hour pre-workout, according to "Muscle and Fitness" magazine.
Black Powder comes in three different flavors: fruit explosion, blue raspberry and orange burst. MRI recommends mixing one scoop with 8 to 16 oz. of water. Because the company gives a range of liquid to mix the powder with, the strength of flavor will vary. Some people have reported that their dislike for the flavor can be enough to distract from their workout, if the taste continues to linger.

The Primal Wound is a book which is revolutionizing the way we think about adoption. In its application of information about preand perinatal psychology, attachment, bonding, and loss, it clarifies the effects of separation from the birth mother on adopted children. In addition, it gives those children, whose pain has long been unacknowledged or misunderstood, validation for their feelings, as well as explanations for their behavior.
Although difficult to read because of the emotion it evokes in all members of the adoption triad, it nevertheless rings true and can be a great help in acknowledging, understanding, and validating the wounds created by the trauma of separation between mother and child. This understanding can help all members of the triad. It can provide validation for the experiences and feelings of adoptees, who have often felt misunderstood; it can bring solace to birth mothers, who have long been denied the truth of their loss; and it can be a source of information for adoptive parents, so that they can better understand and respond to their children.
Since its original publication in 1993, The Primal Wound has become a classic in adoption literature and is considered the adoptees' bible. The insight which is brought to the experiences of abandonment and loss will contribute not only to the healing of adoptees, adoptive families, and birth parents, but will bring understanding and encouragement to anyone who has ever felt abandoned.
20 Things Adoptive Parents Need To Succeed
By Sherrie Eldridge
In this all-new companion volume to Twenty Things Adopted Kids Wish Their Adoptive Parents Knew, Sherrie Eldridge shifts her focus from the adoptee to parents, offering practical wisdom and advice on creating a loving, nurturing environment for your adopted child.
Speaking from her own experience as an adoptee, Sherrie Eldridge share proven strategies and the moving narrative of nearly 100 adoptive families, helping parents gain a better understand of their children's needs as well as their own. By truly listening to your child, by learning to speak his heart language, you'll learn to connect on an even deeper level, opening the channels of communication—and keeping them open forever. Sherrie Eldridge will help you discover how to:
- Talk candidly with your child about her adoption and her birth family
- Give you tools for sharing negative birth history with courage and compassion.
- Help your child move his "broken life" narrative and develop a healthy identity
- Cope with emotional triggers so that you don't fall apart when your child has a melt down
- Settle the "real parent" question by helping you see the uniqueness of your role.
- Hear what your adopted child can't or won't say but is in his heart—"I love you. I declare you to be a successful adoptive parent."
- Translate your child's adoptee heart language and communicate on a deeper level.
This ground-breaking first book gives voice to the very real concerns of adopted children and offers unique perspectives and unprecedented insight. Now in its eleventh printing, with more than 150,000 copies sold, this book is a classic in adoption literature. It is required reading by many adoption agencies for prospective parents. Adoptive parents also have found a new use for it with defensive teens and adult adoptees. The parent reads the book, makes personal comments in the margins ("I did well here….or, I blew it here") and then sends it to the adult child to read. There are many success stories of opened communication between parents and adoptees.
Sherrie Eldridge will help you:
- Meet the emotional needs that your adopted child has trouble expressing.
- Remove misplaced guilt and love your child without reservation.
- Help your adopted child process loss and grief effectively.
- React wisely when your adopted child exhibits misdirected emotions.
- Increase a sense of closeness between you and your adopted child.
- Initiate conversations with your adopted child that foster the healing process.
- Build your adopted child's individual confidence by celebrating your differences.
- Provide love in ways that your adopted child can receive.
- Value the role of birth parents without feeling insecure.
- Create an environment where your adopted child feels safe.
- Open conversation with a defensive teen or adult adoptee.
- Reduced fear about talking about the birth history, even if it's negative or missing.
- Use to start discussions with your adopted child about their past.
- Enhanced freedom for your child to ask questions about birth parents and the birth experience.
- Deepened sense of connection between you and your adopted child.
- New ways to make your adopted child experience unconditional love.

Honoring Our Confederate Heritage & Virtues
presented by Ultimate Flags LLC
Why keep destroying history
Closeup of textured Confederate flag
It is a tough time for some people because statues are being removed out of fear. There are many confederate statues that mean a lot to many people. There are many differences of opinion among people and when it interferes with other people and the things they create to remember their history, then it will create conflict.
Key Takeaways:
 - Today we are at an unprecedented time in history, or is it a time when we are destroying history?
 - Cities allowed with pride to have these erected as remembrances of sacrifices of our everyday citizens who fought and died for their beliefs.
 - Are we creating a new history for the future to see, or one that will be destroyed because of the beliefs of others?
"As we begin to take away the remembrances of past history and erect new ones, are we recognizing their accomplishments and beliefs at the cost of destroying others."

Numerical Simulation of the Ancient Protiron Structure Model Exposed to Seismic Loading
This article presents the results of a numerical stability analysis of the old stone Protiron structure model in Split exposed to seismic loading. The analysis was performed by open source Y-3D numerical code based on the Combined Finite-Discrete Element Method (FDEM). The FDEM code was extended with a new dissipative contact interaction algorithm in order to overcome the limitation related to energy dissipation under normal contact interaction, which, combined with dry friction, represents a relevant mechanism for energy dissipation in dry-joint masonry structures. The performances of the presented numerical model are demonstrated through the comparison of numerical results with the experimental tests of the Protiron model obtained by the shaking table investigations. The most significant results of the measured displacement vs. time have been numerically reproduced by the presented numerical model which confirms the suitability of the FDEM method for assessing the seismic resistance of dry-joint masonry structures.

Ice hockey work out
Are ice hockey players fit?
Dr. Renda Hawwa points out in a feature on ice hockey that the sport "requires a combination of aerobic and anaerobic fitness," and players can burn anywhere from 400 to 800 calories in an hour. Ice hockey players like to think that their sport is the most demanding on the planet, providing undisputed hockey fitness.
How much do hockey players train?
Two hours of training, or possibly two and a half hours, typically start around 10 a.m., usually five days a week.
What kind of workouts do hockey players do?
1. Hockey Strength Training Arm swings and circles. Trunk rotations, twists and stretches. Walking lunges, prisoner squats and leg swings. Burpees and stride jumps. Medicine ball tosses and cross crawls.
Does hockey build muscle?
The intensity and volume of hockey is often adequate for breaking down the muscle fibers and thus causing an increase in leg and hip muscle size in novice and average players.
Do hockey players lift weights?
Most professional sports players utilize weights in their training, and each phase of that training has different objectives. To reach peak fitness and performance, follow this ice hockey weight training program, which also explains the need for cardio workouts.
What is the hardest sport in the world?
Degree of Difficulty: Sport Rankings
Boxing 8.63 1
Ice Hockey 7.25 2
Football 5.38 3
Why is hockey the hardest sport?
Hockey players need to have skill and agility. They need to have all the moves and skills of basketball, soccer and other sports, but do it all on skates, often backwards. Ice hockey players are the toughest athletes on the planet and have to endure the harshest physical beating to win the Stanley Cup.

It's tough enough to be a professional athlete. Wayne Shelford, Rugby. Kurt Angle, Wrestling. Serena Williams, Tennis. Gordie Howe, Hockey. Alexis Arguello, Boxing. Chuck Bednarik, Football.
How many days off do NHL players get?
four days
How much weight do NHL players lose in a game?
5 to 8 pounds
Is running good for hockey players?
Yes and no. Hockey is an anaerobic sport and long distance running is purely aerobic which gives it very little crossover into the game of hockey once you train it beyond a certain threshold. This is why you see players all the time doing "cardio" and yet still becoming totally exhausted on the ice.
Are squats good for hockey?
Hockey players usually have tight hips from skating, squatting can help increase hip mobility by going to full-depth. Full-depth squats will help you do both of these better by facilitating more muscle fibers being worked, like stated above.
What do hockey players do during intermission?
Every player uses the intermission as an opportunity to rehydrate, either with water or a sports drink. That way, they'll feel refreshed and reenergized for the rest of the game and can continue giving their all out on the ice. Some players will also eat something during their break to help refuel.

Lab-scale experiments were conducted to identify the flow phenomena of water flushed from a low horizontal section into an upward inclined section of a 50 mm tube by oil flow. The process of water displacement by the oil was also simulated by using the volume of fluid (VOF) model implemented in FLUENT. The simulations were found to be in good agreement with the experimental results. The simulation results substantiate the applicability of a simple mechanistic model, which is based on water 'plug formation' for predicting the critical conditions for the onset of water displacement. A parametric study on the effects of the water volume, oil velocity, pipe diameter, inclination angle, physical properties on the simulation results was also carried out.

The resulting map should contain a key for each value of type b, occurring in any set in the original map. The new values (of type
type SetMap k a = Map k (Set a) invertSetMap :: (Ord a, Ord b) => SetMap a b -> SetMap b a
Set a) are all those original keys for which the new key occurred in the value set. Intuitively, if the original set was representing arrows from values of type a to values of type b, this function should reverse all arrows. We can easily implement this function using two nested folds.
That's not pretty at all! I had written quite a bit of this kind of code (and hated it each time), until I finally remembered a fundamental Haskell lesson. Haskell uses lists to simulate iteration and specify other kinds of control flow. In particular list comprehensions are often extremely cheap, since the compiler can automatically remove many or all intermediate lists and generate very efficient code. So let's try again.
invertSetMap sm = M.foldWithKey (\k as r -> S.fold (\a r' -> M.insertWith S.union a (S.singleton k) r') r as) M.empty sm
So much more readable! A quick benchmark also shows that it's slightly faster (a few percent for a very big map). Lesson to take home: If your folds get incomprehensible consider list comprehensions.
invertSetMap sm = M.fromListWith S.union [ (a, S.singleton k) | (k, as) <- M.assocs sm, a <- S.toList as ]

#220 - Haptic Intelligence Technology: A New Sense of Presence Enabled by Haptic Feedback
In past reports, Webrain has focused on the digitization of the human senses of sight, smell, taste, and flavor. This report continues with this topic by examining the challenge of digitizing the sense of touch. For a long time, the term "tactile" has been associated in English with the human sense of touch. When discussing technologies related to this sense, however, there is a growing trend to use the term "haptic."
Webrain examines the latest developments in haptic technology across four categories: surface haptics (and related touchless screens), wearable haptics, handheld haptics, and mid-air haptics. These technologies have a wide range of potential applications, including next-generation interfaces such as kiosks and in-vehicle controls, entertainment such as immersive gaming, and education and training such as vocational training.
The report concludes with a discussion how our social life and social behavior would be affected if haptic technology evolves to enable emotional and sensory communication through the digitized sense of touch.

The Zero-Gravity Treadmill, which invites you to defy gravity, was created by a company called Alter-G for the purpose of rehabilitating athletes and increasing the performance capabilities of non-injured runners while eliminating their chances for injury. A user, when zipped into the environment of the apparatus, can reduce his or her body weight by increments of one percent down to 80 percent; imagine how much easier it would be to run further and faster if your body only felt the impact of 20 percent of your total body weight? The un-weighting process is what makes this treadmill unlike any other training apparatus available to runners and other athletes.
At a price tag of $75,000 to buy a Zero-Gravity Treadmill, most runners do not have one at their disposal. At this time, the FDA has cleared this piece of equipment for use in rehabilitating people with lower body and neurological injuries as well to aid sport specific training programs. Athletes at the highest levels are utilizing the apparatus to enable unheard of performance benefits without the risk of injury. Coaches are using the equipment to get the next level of potential from their runners. Injured athletes are rehabbing on this high-tech innovation.

A test case for pressure field reconstruction from particle image velocimetry (PIV) and Lagrangian particle tracking (LPT) has been developed by constructing a simulated experiment from a zonal detached eddy simulation for an axisymmetric base flow at Mach 0.7. The test case comprises sequences of four subsequent particle images (representing multi-pulse data) as well as continuous time-resolved data which can realistically only be obtained for low-speed flows. Particle images were processed using tomographic PIV processing as well as the LPT algorithm 'Shake-The-Box' (STB). Multiple pressure field reconstruction techniques have subsequently been applied to the PIV results (Eulerian approach, iterative least-square pseudo-tracking, Taylor's hypothesis approach, and instantaneous Vortex-in-Cell) and LPT results (FlowFit, Vortex-in-Cell-plus, Voronoi-based pressure evaluation, and iterative least-square pseudo-tracking). All methods were able to reconstruct the main features of the instantaneous pressure fields, including methods that reconstruct pressure from a single PIV velocity snapshot. Highly accurate reconstructed pressure fields could be obtained using LPT approaches in combination with more advanced techniques. In general, the use of longer series of time-resolved input data, when available, allows more accurate pressure field reconstruction. Noise in the input data typically reduces the accuracy of the reconstructed pressure fields, but none of the techniques proved to be critically sensitive to the amount of noise added in the present test case.

Black Spots On Cats Gums
Posted on
Black pigment can be normal on the nose, lips, and gum tissue. When lentigo first appears in cats, it often pops up on the lips as tiny dots, before spreading to the eyelids, gums, and nose.

Black spots on cats gums. You will notice that the black spots develop on the upper parts of the dog's skin. Ginger and tortie cats often have black staining on mouth and gums, which is quite harmless. This pigmentation is especially common in orange tabby cats.
If this is the case and other are no other symptoms, you have nothing to worry about.

Personally i'd get your cats to the vet for a quick check up. They cause the cats no harm; The darkness on the gums is just freckles.
Is your cat a tortoiseshell, orange tabby, flame point or calico? Any cat that has the genes for red coloring frequently develops black "freckles". As the cat ages, more black pigment is deposited many times around or inside the mouth, eyes and ea.
As the cat ages, the spots will become more widespread and may grow larger. Often, a small cluster of spots will grow together to form a large patch of pigment. Hi again, and you're most welcome;
What diseases can affect the gums? Anecdotal evidence suggests that black tongue most likely is the result. Cat world explains that black spots that appear in a cat's mouth are caused by an increase in the number of melanocytes, or pigment producing cells.
If your cat's gums have recently turned black it probably has an infection, like gum disease or something. Have your cat examined by a veterinarian if these spots are a new finding or other symptoms appear. It is my pleasure to be of help to you and your kitty!
Your cat's gums should also not appear to be swollen. These are benign changes and cosmetic only. A number of people who keep cats are concerned that their cat has black gums.
Here is a veterinarian's guide for gum color in cats. A cats gums are supposed to be a pinkish red color. Unfortunately, unlike lentigo, black spots on the gums that signify periodontal disease are a serious sign that your cat's health is at risk.
Gum disease can affect cats of all stripes. While some cats may have been born with a few black spots on the gums here and there, if a cat's gums are mostly black or brown and are accompanied with bad breath, Flat, black spots can occur on the gums, especially in orange of silver cats.
A healthy cat will have firm pink gums, not an angry red, white, and/or black or brown color. Black tongue in cats can happen with injury, but it is more likely a result of an immune dysfunction which can be caused by yeast overgrowth or more serious infections. All my cats had small black bits around.
Alternatively you can have a quick chat with a vet online now, which is both a cost and time savings. Cats taken from the street often suffer from vitamin deficiencies, and the owners may not immediately understand what is the cause of lethargy and sleepiness of the pet. And part of the roof of his mouth is black too following a similar sort of pattern.
Pellagra in cats is manifested by points on the mucous membranes of the mouth, sometimes by the spots on the tongue, nose and ears. Gum disease, also known as gingivitis, is chronic inflammation of the gums that worsens over time and occurs where the tooth and gum come together, says dr. A few years back my abbie had small black spots around her mouth and was diagnosed with feline acne.
Called age spots, aging can also lead to black spots on the body of your dog. Some cats develop changes throughout their lives which can be completely normal, one of those is ginger cats who develop black spots on their gums and nose. The dog will secret melanin when exposed to the sun for long periods to protect its skin.
Black spots on dog's gums can also mean something is going on with your dog's health, which should be discussed with your vet soon. The ill cat has black dots on tongue. The color of a cat's gums can tell a lot about your pet's health.
Burmeselinda new cat chatter posts: Lentigo is an asymptomatic condition characterized by one (lentigo) or more (lentigines) flat macule(s) on the gums or lips or patch(es) of black skin. A common explanation for black gums in cats is lentigo simplex.
Jules benson, bvsc, and vp of veterinary services at petplan pet insurance. Black gums on a black cat aren't anything to worry about, but any gum changes should be reported to your veterinarian right away. If your cat has black spots on his gums he will mostly like be a ginger cat and will have the condition known as 'orange cat lentigo'.
This is a harmless condition, most commonly associated with older, orange felines. Take it to the vet right away. For some reason, orange cats are also prone to developing harmless freckles (known as lentigo simplex) on their noses, lips, gums and inside their mouths.
The literature does suggest the direct cause of black tongue by a specific agent like an injury or burn; Other causes of pigmentation can be secondary to bleeding/bruising, wounds, burns, and oral masses.

Property Tax Lawyers in Coldwater
Coldwater, Ohio laws require that most owners of real property pay taxes on its value. "Real property" refers to building and land, and objects (like natural resources) that are permanently affixed to the land.
Property tax in Coldwater, Ohio is derived by taking a percentage of the appraised value of the property in question. They are usually collected on an annual or monthly schedule.
Generally, property taxes are not levied by the federal government. This applies to everywhere in the U.S.. Usually, property taxes are imposed by state and local governments.
How Property Tax is Calculated in Coldwater, Ohio
Most often, property taxes in Coldwater, Ohio are simply a set percentage of the property's value. Across the country, state authorities impose a wide range of different tax rates. The highest rates in the country are in the area of 5% of the property's value, and the lowest are less than 1%.
To collect the property tax, the authorities of Coldwater, Ohio have to first determine the value of a particular piece of land.
As you probably know, value is not always objective. For instance, the owners of family heirlooms usually place far more value on them than their objective monetary value. So tax officials have to be careful to only use objective criteria in valuing property for tax purposes.
To that end, the Coldwater, Ohio employees in charge of appraising land look at objective facts to calculate value, like the size of the land and any buildings on it, the way in which the land may legally be used (zoning), and the health of the local real estate market.
How A Coldwater, Ohio Property Tax Attorney Can Help.
Coldwater, Ohio's property tax system is somewhat complicated. Legal disputes arising from property taxes can arise in a number of ways. For instance, the state might accuse a homeowner of failing to pay their property taxes, when they actually have. Conversely, a homeowner might believe that the value of their property was appraised inaccurately, resulting in a higher tax bill.
If you run into any issue with your Coldwater, Ohio property taxes, failing to handle it properly can result in anything from unnecessary inconvenience to large fines and tax penalties. However, with the help of a Coldwater, Ohio tax attorney, your chances of running into a property tax problem can be minimized.

text: The rainbow darter Etheostoma caeruleum is a small fish in the perch family (Percidae) that is adapted to fast-flowing streams in eastern North America. It is relatively sensitive to habitat degradation and is widely used as a sentinel of stream condition. To provide a complementary tool for assessing the integrity of stream ecosystems, 16 highly polymorphic tetranucleotide microsatellite markers were identified for these darters. Between four and 16 loci were found to be useful in five congeneric species. These markers will be useful for characterizing population genetic structure and diversity of rainbow darters and related fishes.

The point to test in container coordinates.
hitTestBuffer
The hit test buffer is used to make the test point "bigger" to compensate for errors and provide smoother hit-testing. For example, if the buffer value is 2, a square with a length of 4 units around the test point will be used to perform the hit-testing. This value is in container coordinates.
Return Value
true if the specified test point is over the thumb; otherwise, false.
Remarks
The automation framework will call HitTest repeatedly to determine if a user input location is over a thumb. For example, to determine if the framework should start dragging a side of a selected object or to start rotating it.

Accommodation, a word that transcends its literal meaning, embodies the essence of comfort, hospitality, and the art of making a temporary space feel like home. In an era where travel is a ubiquitous part of our lives, the significance of accommodation accommodation perisher goes beyond providing shelter; it shapes the way we experience and remember our journeys. This article delves into the multifaceted world of accommodation, exploring its evolution, trends, and the pivotal role it plays in enhancing the overall travel experience.
- The Evolution of Accommodation:
Accommodation has come a long way from the humble inns of yesteryears. Today, it spans a spectrum of options, ranging from traditional hotels and motels to boutique inns, vacation rentals, and futuristic pods. The evolution is not just in terms of aesthetics and amenities but also in the way accommodation providers adapt to the changing preferences of modern travelers.
- Hospitality as an Art Form:
At its core, accommodation is an art form mastered by those in the hospitality industry. The warmth of a welcoming smile, attention to detail, and personalized service can transform a place to stay into a memorable experience. Many establishments go beyond the basics, curating unique offerings such as themed rooms, local experiences, and culinary delights to leave a lasting impression on their guests.
- The Rise of Alternative Accommodations:
The advent of technology has given rise to the sharing economy, changing the landscape of accommodation. Platforms like Airbnb and Vrbo have empowered homeowners to share their spaces with travelers, offering a more personalized and often cost-effective alternative to traditional hotels. This shift has not only expanded options for travelers but also created opportunities for individuals to become hosts.
- Sustainability in Accommodation:
With an increasing awareness of environmental issues, the accommodation industry is embracing sustainability. Green building practices, energy-efficient technologies, and eco-friendly amenities are becoming standard in many accommodations. Travelers are now seeking stays that align with their values, prompting accommodations to implement sustainable practices and contribute to the global effort to reduce environmental impact.
- Technology and Smart Accommodations:
The integration of technology has transformed the way we book, experience, and interact with accommodations. Mobile check-ins, smart room controls, and virtual concierge services have become commonplace, providing convenience and enhancing the overall guest experience. Technology is not just a tool but a facilitator that enables accommodations to stay connected with their guests throughout their stay.
- Adapting to Changing Travel Trends:
The travel landscape is constantly evolving, and accommodations must adapt to changing trends. The rise of remote work has given birth to the concept of "workations," where accommodations cater to individuals seeking a blend of work and leisure. Flexible cancellation policies, wellness amenities, and enhanced hygiene protocols have become pivotal in accommodating the evolving needs of travelers.
Accommodation, once viewed merely as a place to rest, has evolved into a cornerstone of the travel experience. From the charm of boutique hotels to the coziness of vacation rentals, the choices available today cater to the diverse preferences of travelers. As the world continues to change, accommodation providers who understand and embrace the evolving needs of their guests will stand out in an industry that is as much about creating memories as it is about providing a place to stay. In the realm of accommodation, it's not just about four walls; it's about creating a home away from home.

Field and laboratory analyses of pH, alkalinity, and specific conductance from water samples collected from the Columbia aquifer on the Delmarva Peninsula in eastern Maryland were compared to determine if laboratory analyses could be used for making regional water-quality interpretations. Kruskal-Wallis tests of field and laboratory data indicate that the difference between field and laboratory values is usually not enough to affect the outcome of the statistical tests. Thus, laboratory measurements of these constituents may be adequate for making certain regional water-quality interpretations, although they may result in errors if used for geochemical interpretations.

Roads to the Unconscious: A Manual For Understanding Road Drawings
Roads to the Unconscious is a book not only for art therapists, psychologists, social workers, counselors and mental health professionals but for all individuals eager to use the image-making process for self-discovery and personal growth.
The author explains how road drawings are capable of eliciting impromptu imagery that represents the person's origins, the history of his or her life process, experiences to date and intent for the future - even from a single drawing. In addition, the periodic upgrade and reparation of the road can serve as a metaphor for the person's capacity for change and reparation.
Based on psychodynamic principles, the focus is on insight gained through the image-making process. The road drawing technique permits access to inner alleys of the unconscious whereupon the person can familiarize and reintegrate these severed and unfamiliar pathways. This book provides an overview of the theoretical principles and rationale for the road drawing technique, as well as simple directions for administering the task. The author includes illustrations that demonstrate how the technique can be used to elicit graphic representation of the person's "road of life" and serve as a metaphor for the person's capacity for change and restoration.

Parallax is a displacement or difference in the apparent position of an object viewed along two different lines of sight, and is measured by the angle or semi-angle of inclination between those two lines.
In simpler words, parallax is a visual effect you experience when moving. Objects closer to you appear to move past more quickly than objects that are farther away. For example, when riding in a car, if you look out the side window, a tree by the side of the road will move through your field of vision much faster than a barn in the distance behind it. This effect is utilized within software to convey a sense of depth.
The most recent incarnation of the Foursquare iPhone App employs a parallax effect in which information on the screen scrolls on a plane above the map.
This GIFF doesn't do it justice, of course, but a still image wouldn't convey it at all. The effect is purely aesthetic, but it feels good. It's an enjoyable microinteraction.

Win some, lose some
EU pig prices came under pressure as the summer progressed, due to increased supplies on the EU market and, in many countries, the warm weather arrived a bit late to give the usual seasonal 'barbecue boost' to sales of pig meat. Despite disappointing prices, abundant grain supplies continued to exert downward pressure on production costs and helped many producers remain in profit. In Denmark, high levels of weaner exports continued to put pressure on availability of pigs for domestic slaughter.
Although pig prices in most EU countries remained relatively stable during the first half of 2014, the market came under increasing pressure during the summer months. But 'win some, lose some' was the experience of many pig farmers, as declining feed prices led to lower costs of production.
Trading difficulties with Russia affected EU pig meat exports from January, following the outbreak of African Swine Fever within EU borders, but latterly affected other meats, dairy products and produce, which all contributed to market uncertainty.
Although EU pig meat exports to a number of the key markets in SE Asia improved during 2014, especially Japan and China, this is proving insufficient to offset the better than expected EU pig supplies and depressed demand in the early part of the summer. These factors led the Danish Agriculture & Food Council to revise down its price forecasts for the remainder of 2014.
Producers in the UK have faced the additional burden of a stronger £, which has contributed to additional downward pressure on prices.
On the positive side, most EU producers, depending on their buying position in recent months, will have enjoyed the benefits of weakening grain prices. Recent data, published by AHDB/BPEX, showed that the average pig DAPP price, despite the downward movement in recent months, remained comfortably above the average 'cost of production'.
The July pig census in Denmark revealed a small increase in the breeding herd.
However weaner exports from Denmark have continued at high levels for much of this year. According to Statistics Denmark data for the first half of 2014, exports broke through the 5 million barrier. There was a modest increase in exports to the main market in Germany but the Polish market took increasing quantities, following the reduction in sow numbers over the last couple of years.
The high level of weaner exports continued to have a knock-on effect on the availability of pigs for domestic slaughter. In the first seven months of the year, slaughterings fell to 10.8 million head from 11 million in the same period in 2013.
As reported in The PigSite, Danish Crown announced further incentives to its producer members to invest in much needed new capacity for finishing pigs, to help stem the increasing flow of exports.
The new initiative means that Danish Crown's producers, who start up new finisher units, will receive a guaranteed contribution margin per finisher – to an agreed formula based on a calculation by the Danish Pig Research centre. The scheme also includes subsidies for new build units at higher levels than those previously agreed.
"With these measures we want to send out a signal that we believe in the future of finisher production in Denmark," says Asger Krogsgaard, Vice-Chairman of Danish Crown.
"We're putting a safety net under our producers who invest in new units and new jobs, and are offering a firm guarantee of minimum earnings, which they can take along to their banks. It can mean the difference between a yes and a no."
Danish Crown has limited the subsidy to 500,000 finishers. If the scheme proves successful, it will be extended.
"This contribution margin guarantee will not make it more profitable to be a finisher producer in Denmark, but it will hopefully create an opening for finisher producers, who wish to expand but who lack the financial backing and security. If growth and jobs in meat production in Denmark really start to take off, our politicians must deliver better conditions similar to those enjoyed by our competitors in Germany, Sweden and Poland. Until this happens, Danish Crown will do what we can to reverse the trend," says Asger Krogsgaard.
Despite the reduction in slaughterings, the overall level of pig and pig meat exports from Denmark rose in the first half of the year – from 938,000 to 960,000 tonnes. There was a small reduction in shipments to the UK market, but sales to most other key markets increased.
Analysts at Rabobank still predict robust demand on global markets into 2015, as continuing outbreaks of pig diseases, such as Porcine Epidemic Diarrhoea Virus (PEDv) will affect availability of pigs in countries where these occur.

About Lake Iseo - Lago d'Iseo
Lake Iseo or Lago d'Iseo or Sebino is the fourth largest lake in Lombardy, Italy, fed by the Oglio river.
It is in the north of the country in the Val Camonica area, near the cities of Brescia and Bergamo. The lake is almost equally divided between the Provinces of Bergamo and Brescia. This is a heavily industrialised part of the world, but the area remains one of outstanding natural beauty. The road north to Switzerland used to run along the side of the lake, and stories about entire families being swallowed up by the murky waters abound. A much safer road, carved into the side of the mountains, now exists.
In the middle of the lake is Monte Isola (or Montisola), one of three islands of the lake with S. Paolo and Loreto islands.

Plant Inspection Training
TWI offers plant inspector training courses at three competency levels, in modular format, for a clearly defined and structured career path. Each level leads to an internationally recognised CSWIP qualification.
Resources of successful plant operators can be stretched when faced with unforeseen problems or when time-investment is required for long-term planning. TWI plant inspector training courses prepare engineers for these pressures by teaching them how to identify the most cost-effective practical solution using state-of-the-art assessment tools and techniques.
This internationally recognised CSWIP plant inspector certification scheme responds to the critical need of industry to ensure that engineers involved in asset integrity management are suitably qualified to deliver optimised plant inspection and assessment.
CSWIP Plant Inspector - Level 1
CSWIP Plant Inspector - Levels 2/3
These plant inspection courses are designed for plant engineers, welding/NDT inspectors/practitioners, materials and corrosion engineers, and plant inspectors responsible for managing the safety and integrity of ageing process equipment, pipelines, boilers and storage tanks.
The scheme will suit personnel working for manufacturing works (Vendor), inspection organisations, equipment owners and operators, classification societies, insurance companies and safety regulators. The training has three goals:
to ensure inspectors and engineers responsible for assessing plant integrity have the essential tools and skills
to recognise and certify plant inspector competence
to provide a structured career path for continuing professional development of plant integrity practitioners through formal training/certification

These are methods which you can register pre-call and post-call external functions to augment their functionality. People familiar with more esoteric languages may think of these as "method combinations".
This could be used to add optional preconditions, user-extensible callbacks (a-la emacs) or a thread-safety mechanism.
The four exported calls are:
All have the signature (class, methodName, callable), and the callable they take must always have the signature (instance, *args, **kw) unless the particular signature of the method they hook is known.
Hooks should typically not throw exceptions, however, no effort will be made by this module to prevent them from doing so. Pre-hooks will always be called, but post-hooks will only be called if the pre-hooks do not raise any exceptions (they will still be called if the main method raises an exception).

Eucalyptus Gunnii (cider gum)
The full Moon ablaze in the night sky
Beams down on the dead and dying Cider Gums
Their ghostly silhouettes, so white and stark
Now just a reminder of the past
The Central Plateau, the High Country of Tasmania
Is or was home to these magnificent trees
Now there bleached skeletons tell the story
That the environment in which they flourished has changed
Grazed extensively by native and domestic animals
Used by the aboriginals, settlers and trappers
The Cider Gum leaf, was used to make cider
And the sweet scent used to freshen homes
Eucalypts Gunnii (Cider Gum) unique to Tasmania
Once so prevalent and used in a variety of ways
Now standing forlorn, dead and slowly dying
Their limbs and branches bleached white by the sun
Many attempts have been made to re-introduce the gums
But the changing environment and pressure from the wildlife
Has meant that the Cider Gum is facing a loosing battle
For the seasons have changed, not enough rainfall and hot summers
And the snow no longer on the ground for weeks on end
Such a unique and magnificent shade tree, stepped in history
Will soon be a distant memory and extinct
Will be left to the old timers to tell about the Cider Gums
For I have doubts that mother nature can revitalize Eucalyptus Gunnii100_1082


¡Bienvenidos a Chapala Mexican Restaurant!
We're a family business and we first opened our doors in April of 2019 with the hope of bringing authentic and delicious Mexican food made with love to the Denver area. Thank you for coming to dine with us, and we're excited to provide y'all with the best food and service in town!
A brief history of Chapala:
Chapala is a town and municipality in the central Mexican state of Jalisco, located on the north shore of Lake Chapala, Mexico's largest freshwater lake.
Until the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th century, nomadic Amerindian tribes, including the Nahuatl, occupied the Lake Chapala region. They migrated from northwestern Mexico and gave rise to the Aztec civilization. Chapala is named after the last chief of the Nahuatl, Chapalac. Ajijic, the second largest town along the lake's northwestern shore, received its name from the Nahuatl word for "Place where the water springs forth."
Lake Chapala in southeastern Jalisco is Mexico's largest lake, occupying about 1,112 square kilometers (430 square miles). The lake provides critical habitat for several species of migratory birds, including the white pelican.

Create a Continuous Binding Strip for Your Quilt
When making bias strips for your quilt, you can either create one long strip or cut individual strips and then sew them together to get the length you need. You can use either of these methods to produce different types of bias binding.
To end up with a continuous binding strip, follow these steps:
Cut a 44" x 44" square of fabric (with selvages removed) in half diagonally to make two large triangles (see a in the following figure).
The square is cut on-grain at this point.Making a continuous bias strip.
You now have a trapezoid shape with two bias edges (upper and lower).
Decide how wide you need the binding to be, and mark lines on the wrong side of the fabric using a ruler (refer to c in the preceding figure).
Stitch the short ends of the fabric together (right sides facing), off-setting the lines by one strip line to form a funny-looking tube (refer to d in the preceding figure).
Carefully press the seam allowance open.
With scissors, cut the binding in one continuous strip, starting at the offset overhang and cutting along the marked lines.

Pore-Scale Modelling of Fluid-Rock Chemical Interactions in Shale during Hydraulic Fracturing

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review
Abstract
During the hydraulic fracturing process in unconventional shale gas reservoirs, chemical interactions between the hydraulic fracturing fluid (HFF) and the shale rock could result in mineral precipitation and dissolution reactions, potentially influencing the gas transport by dissolving or clogging the fractures. The pore-scale distribution of the minerals, especially the highly reactive ones such as calcite, in the shale matrix can impact the structural evolution of the shale rocks. In the present study, a pore-scale reactive transport model is built to investigate the impact of the pore-scale distribution of calcite on the structural alteration of the shales. The alteration of the shales is caused by the barite precipitation, and the dissolution of calcite and pyrite. The simulation results show that the calcite dissolution leads to a permeability enhancement. The permeability enhancement for the shales with coarser calcite grains is more pronounced than that for the shales with finer grains of calcite. The results also indicate that the extent of the permeability enhancement is even more noticeable if the HFF is injected with a higher velocity. The fluid chemistry analysis indicates that the fluid pH for the shale with the fine grains of calcite is higher than that of the shale with the coarse calcite grains and that the injection of the HFF with a higher flowrate leads to the lower pH values. The calcite dissolution observed in the simulations mainly occurs near the inlet. For the shale with the finer calcite grains, barite precipitation also occurs mostly close to the inlet but for the shale with coarser calcite grains, barite precipitation extends more into the domain. This penetration depth increases when the HFF is injected with a higher velocity. In addition to the effect of the calcite distribution, we also used the pore-scale model to study the effect of the calcite content on the structural evolution of the shales. The results from these simulations showed that a higher calcite content can result in higher pH values, higher permeabilities, and also more barite precipitation in the domain.

The ROI of smart
Comparing energy savings to the falling cost of installing a basic smart management system, smart buildings immediately prove their worth. If a smart system delivered an energy cost saving of 25 percent, with an installation cost of $37,500 annual savings could be $23,000 USD annually, with a payback period of less than two years. More effective and efficient use of power can save money, quickly repaying initial technology expenditure. HVAC and lighting alone can account for about 50 percent of energy use in an average commercial building.
By incorporating smart automation, managers may see decreased energy costs by between 30% and 50%

text: Numerical studies discussing micro gas turbines (MGTs) as a basis for automotive range extenders can be found in literature. A comprehensive set of experimental measurement data for an MGT of adequate size, however, is currently not available. In this work, a test rig and demonstrator based on a 30 kWel liquid fueled MGT is built up. Its major components' performance is characterized by measuring temperature and pressure at inlet and outlet, as well as corresponding fuel and air flows and the exhaust gas composition. A compressor bleed air tapping is installed to characterize the turbo components' off-design behavior. Stationary load points and transient maneuvers are investigated. The presented data provide coherent information on the operational behavior and cycle parameters. This can be used to validate existing numerical investigations. It further provides a foundation to identify the optimization potential of MGT components and will serve as design baseline for subsequent optimization measures to meet the requirements of mobile applications.
