Tips For Using The FRP Molded Grating Equipment For Making Quality Products Of Rubber and Plastic
Utilizing the most recent routines and innovations is fundamental in the development, vehicles, guard, and other assembling commercial ventures. With weight sparing being the mantra of a naturally minded world, yet with all the characteristics of quality, the utilization of fiber-strengthened polymer mixes or FRP have been discovering more uses in an extensive variety of commercial ventures.
Composites, the Star in Industry
The specialized name for a fiber-strengthened polymer form that discovers use in industry is known as a composite material; they utilize diverse materials like bond, solid, and so forth., and are utilized within the development of structures, scaffolds, tanks, family unit fittings like restroom ledges, and are additionally utilized by the vehicles business to make complete structures of watercraft bodies and hustling autos.
There are numerous organizations around the world, particularly in the Far East which represents considerable authority in making great items with amazing administration previously, then after the fact deals, and a developing customer rundown. A portion of the principle prerequisites of these organizations are the supply of pultrusion bites the dust, sink mold, pole mold, stage mold, FRP stepping stool mold, pillar mold, FRP window outline and so forth.
High Tensile Property with Light Weight
An alternate critical thing supplied by these organizations is fiberglass pultrusion items and FRP or basalt rebar things. At the point when composite materials are fabricated with a consistent cross-area it is called pultrusions. The utilization of a great pultrusion bite the dust is crucial in making pultrusions, and this engineering, however not of any innovative worth, needs to be made with exactness, and must be accomplished with bunches of experience.
Utilizing this sort of innovation makes items that are greatly adaptable and additionally solid, and are utilized as a part of colossal courses from industrial facilities, compound organizations, and offices for animals. It has likewise discovered support in the flight business, where numerous parts are made by this technique, for their properties of light weight and great quality.
Climbing Popularity of FRP in Construction
The development business has been utilizing solid for several years and to add quality to the cement structure, they have been utilizing strengthened steel bars or rebar. Shockingly, it has been discovered that albeit furnishing the structure with great quality they do tend to consume, bringing on the encased solid to split. This could result in the building to debilitate, and may prompt crumple in compelling cases. To keep this, manufacturers now utilize fiber-fortified polymer in the solid, as it doesn't get influenced by salt in the air or the cement, and won't consume.
An alternate prominent utilization is FRP formed grinding gear as it is less unmanageable than utilizing pultrusion for production. Being very impervious to erosion, it has various uses in synthetic or mechanical plants, force plants, wastewater medication plants, and actually anyplace where there is a high movement thickness. Being consumption verification significantly submerged, it has discovered use in submerged structures like scaffolds, swimming pools, runways, and so on. Because of its property of being light yet with a high rigidity than steel, it has been generally grasped by the development business all in all.

Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Trends, Analysis, Growth, and Forecast 2017 - 2025
Diffuse large B-Cell Lymphoma is seeing a rise in its incidence worldwide. As per U.K. Lyphoma Association, Britain lone sees about 4800 cases of this every year. The biggest challenge behind the condition is that it does not discriminate in age. Thus, it can make even children its target. But, it goes without saying that it is the aged demographic that is at a higher risk. Symptoms often include lumps, loass of appetite and tiredness.
As both market players as well as governments hurry to remedy the issue, the market is set to witness a steady CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate). It will improve the market worth and also improve creation of new opportunities.
Some of the most potent factors driving the growth of the Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Market are spelled out below:
Lymphoma is a type of cancer affecting the human lymphatic system, a part of our immune system. The development of lymphoma begins when a type of white bold cell, lymphocytes commence to divide in an uncontrolled manner. Although there are two chief kinds of lymphocytes, T lymphocytes and B lymphocytes, B cells tend to be responsible for most lymphomas. Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) develop from B cells that are abnormal, larger sized cells which are different from healthy, normal B cells. These abnormal cells spread out diffusely all over the tumor, wiping out the lymph node's normal structure.
More than 4,800 people in the U.K. are diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma every year, according to the U.K. Lymphoma Association. The disease can occur at any age, affecting children as well. However, the aged population is at a higher risk of developing diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. Several patients initially notice painless lumps, usually in their neck, groin, or armpit. Apart from this, loss of appetite, itching, and fatigue are also some other common symptoms.
The continuous development of novel treatments and drugs for treating diffuse large B-cell lymphoma via research and development is assisting the growth of the global diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma market. For instance, in May 2017, it was announced that a rare sub-type of DLBCL, primary mediastinal B-cell lymphoma, can be treated through the use of pembrolizumab, a PD-1 inhibitor. An evaluation of 18 participants with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma under KEYNOTE 013 revealed the safety and efficacy of pembrolizumab.
With a noticeable rise in the prevalence of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), the market for DLBCL market is witnessing strong growth across the world. Analysts expect the trend to remain so over the next few years, owing to the increasing number of elderly people, the most prone to DLBCL segment of the overall population.
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common form of non hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and is the main reason behind more than 30% of the newly diagnosed cancer cases in the U.S. alone. The prevalence of this disease is increasing at an alarming rate, which is likely to fuel the demand for DLBCL treatments substantially in the near future, leading to a considerable diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma market growth.
This research report offers a detailed evaluation of the global diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma market on the basis of its current and historical performance. The prominent trends, growth drivers, challenges, opportunities, and the future prospects of this market have also been examined thoroughly while conducting this study. The main objective of this study is to assist the market participants in gaining a clear and deep insight into this market.
The increasing incidence of DLBCL has fueled the demand for efficient therapies for its treatment across the world. With the ever-rising global geriatric population, the scenario is likely to remain more or less similar over the forthcoming years. In addition, the presence of a robust last stage pipeline of drugs ready for clinical trials and the increasing expenditure on healthcare are expected to boost this market tremendously in the years to come.
At present, the most efficient treatment for DLBCL available across the world is combination therapy that includes chemotherapy and monoclonal antibody-based drug Rituxan (rituximab). However, the development of other drugs is also taking place at a swift pace, with many of them being in various late-stage clinical trials. Alisertib (MLN8237), Bortezomib (Velcade), Brentuximab vedotin (Adcetris), Everolimus (Afinitor), Lenalidomide (Revlimid), Panobinostat, and Vorinostat (Zolinza) are some of the key pipelined projects, approval of which will gain advantages for this market in the forthcoming years.
North America, followed by Europe, has surfaced as the leading contributor to the global diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma market, thanks to the high prevalence of DLBCL, rising awareness level of people, and their increased disposable income. However, Asia Pacific is likely to emerge as the most promising regional market in the coming years. The strengthening economy and the improving healthcare infrastructure in this region are expected to act as the key driving force behind the growth of the Asia Pacific diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma market.
Some of the major players operating in diffuse large B-Cell lymphoma market are Amgen, Inc., AstraZeneca plc, Astellas Pharma, Inc., Bristol-Myers Squibb Company, F. Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd., GlaxoSmithKline plc, Gilead Sciences, Inc., Genentech, Inc., Infinity Pharmaceuticals, Inc., MedImmune, LLC, Merck & Co., Inc., Novartis AG and Sanofi.

Chic with an almost Art Deco sensibility, this pair of Gems en Vogue drop earrings are ready to frame your face in exquisite elegance. Crafted from 14K yellow gold, each earring features a textured silhouette leading down to a chrome diopside cabochon. A trio of white diamonds scoots off to one side for an asymmetrical dose of dazzle, while butterfly backs keep the pair in place.
All weights pertaining to gemstones, including diamonds, are minimum weights. Additionally, please note that many gemstones are treated to enhance their beauty. View Gemstone Enhancements and Special Care Requirements for important information.
Yellow Gold
By far the most common color of gold used in jewelry, yellow gold is gold in its natural shade. Yellow gold is usually alloyed with copper and silver to increase the strength of the metal. How yellow the metal is depends upon the content of gold. A 14-karat piece of jewelry will have a brighter yellow hue than a 10-karat piece. Likewise, an 18-karat piece of jewelry will have a deeper yellow than 14-karat gold, and so on.
Gold Karat
Gold's softness and malleability make it a wonderful metal to work with when creating virtually any design in jewelry. But this softness can be a drawback as well. To make it stronger and more durable, gold is usually alloyed, or mixed, with other metals such as copper or silver. The higher a metal's percentage of gold content, the softer and more yellow the jewelry piece. The karat weight system used to measure gold in a piece is the same for all hues, including white and yellow gold.
The word "carat" is Arabic, meaning "bean seed." This is because historically seeds were used to measure weights of gold and precious stones. In the United States, "karat" with a "k" is used to measure gold's purity, while "carat" with a "c" is used in measuring a gemstone's size. The karat mark of gold represents the percentage of pure gold to alloy.
In order to determine the karat weight of a specific item, simply look for the quality mark. Jewelry items will bear the stamp of their karatage based upon the United States or European system of marking. The United States system designates pieces by their karats—24K, 18K, 14K, 10K, etc. The European system designates pieces by their percentage of gold content. For instance, 10K gold is marked "417," denoting 41.7% gold; 14K is marked "585," denoting 58.5% gold; and 18K is marked "750," denoting 75% gold; etc.
Chrome Diopside:
Chrome diopside, also called Russian diopside, offers an intense forest green color. Because it is the most affordable gemstone with a pure, rich green color, many jewelry designers predict chrome diopside will be the world's leading emerald substitute by the end of the decade. It is mostly available in smaller sizes, with the rare larger sizes becoming much more expensive and too dark. A 26.17ct oval cut chrome diopside may be the largest known example of the faceted stone, but there is also a 25.33ct stone that is brighter and more intense in color.
Chrome diopside is relatively soft, with a hardness of 5.5 on the Mohs Scale. Mostly mined in Yakutia and Siberia, the liberalization of the former Soviet Union's economy has made chrome diopside more available, and more popular, than ever before.
Earring Back Types
Butterfly Back: A double looped piece resembling a butterfly that fits over a post. Variations on this design are called push back clasps. The basic post and butterfly back are usually used for stud earrings and lighter weight drop earrings.
Hinged Snap Backs: This clasp features a hinged post that snaps into a groove on the back of the earring. It is commonly found on hoops. Sometimes the hinged post is curved to provide more room to fit around the ear, sometimes called a saddleback.
Hook Backs: This earring backing is simply a long, bent post that fits through the piercing. Hooks have several variations, most notably the shepherd's hook and the French hook. While thin wire hooks reduce the weight of long earrings, making them more comfortable, they aren't as secure as other clasp styles.
Lever Back: A hinged lever snaps shut against the curved post to form a closed loop around the ear lobe. This clasp is very secure and good for large or medium sized styles that drop just below the ear.
Omega: Also called French clips, this clasp has a straight post and a looped lever. The hinged lever closes around the post and is held against the ear with pressure. The omega clasp is the most secure clasp, especially for the larger, heavier earrings.
Screw back: This backing is a slight variation of the standard post and butterfly nut back. Instead of pushing on the back, the nut twists onto the threaded post. A screw back post design is often preferred for expensive diamond stud earrings that require increased security.

Tested out the Osmo over spring break. My son, my husband, and I all tested out the osmo over Spring Break. My son's favorite were the Tangrams. My husband worked hard on his Masterpiece, but he said it was really challenging. I wondered if I thought it was easier because of the years of blind contour drawing practice I have done.

Each week I work with two small groups of students that come to me from our schools autism center. I have two different groups-one includes students from kindergarten to second grade aged, and the other is third through sixth grade aged. These students have a wide variety of abilities, and I have to design lessons that can be adapted to any skill level, from completely hand over hand to completely independent. Since we were already working with cut paper masks this week, we did some mask-making with each of these classes. My student teacher created a bunch of simple paper mask bases in a variety of colors. We supplied construction paper strips of varied sizes and colors, and we demonstrated some simple paper sculpture techniques such as loop, roll, pleat, and fringe. Students then used these techniques to create wacky paper faces. Here are some of the masks from the younger group. Younger students are focusing more on just watching and following step-by-step instructions, but choosing their own materials and colors. Students in the older class break out more and are working more independently. We are still focusing on following directions and motor skills, but these students come up with their own ways of doing things and are able to create more individual artworks. Here is the mask created by the IA and student who were working entirely hand-over-hand. I think we are seeing the IAs creativity more than the student, since this student has limited verbal and fine motor skills, but it is still a very wacky face. And just for good measure, here is April's teacher example. For some reason it reminds me of the Hamburglar

IN our county many elementary art teachers use paint stations at each table to manage tempera paint. I thought the idea of a station where students have access to multiple colors of glaze would be useful, so I created these small glaze trays for each of the tables in my classroom. We use Mayco Stroke & Coat glazes which can be mixed to create a wide variety of tints and shades. Each table receives one glaze tray that contains the twelve most requested colors and a water dish for rinsing their brushes. The tray has a lid that students can use as a palette for mixing. I purchased the trays/storage boxes at the dollar store. The cups inside that hold each color of glaze were also purchased at the dollar store and were originally designed for salad dressing.
On the center table in my room where I usually distribute materials I have a variety of paintbrush sizes available as well as a box that contains one bottle of each color of glaze, in case I need to do refills during class. If I were teaching from a cart I would set these materials up not he top shelf with the empty water dishes, and the bottom shelf would contain the bisqueware that is ready to be glazed in one large tray or copy box lid.All of these small glaze trays fit inside one of my art room cabinets. We just snap the lids on and stack them inside the cabinet for the next use. Over the summer they get dried out a little, but we just refresh them with more glaze and a little water if necessary. Occasionally someone will forget to rinse their brush before switching to a new color. If it isn't a big glob the kids just stir it into the rest of the glaze. If it is a big difference in color (like a blob of black mixed into the white glaze) then I rinse out that cup and refill it, but that only happens once or twice a year. Overall we waste much less glaze using this method instead of paper plates or palettes, and I am able to afford to buy the stroke & coat glaze instead of the budget glaze that is stocked in our county's supply warehouse.
I hope these ceramics tips were useful. If you missed any of the other ceramics posts you can check out the links below:

How You Can Generate More Profit Using Google's Dynamic Search Ads
Here at StoreYa we manage an ads budget of ~$1M per month
using the Traffic
Booster. Advertising on Google
AdWords and competing with the big players out-there can be
hard. This is the reason we decided to share with you in this
post some valuable information that will help you win the
AdWords game!If
you haven't started using AdWords Dynamic Search Ads yet,
you're missing out on heaps of targeted traffic for your online
In a nutshell, Dynamic Search Ads (DSA) are campaigns
that use Google's crawling abilities in order to display to
each target potential shopper an ad that has a custom headline
and that redirects to the most relevant product page within the
retailer's online store.
These campaigns allow eCommerce site owners to gain
traffic through targeted ads to more queries and this way fill
in the gaps for keyword campaigns resulting in more traffic and
better ROIs. The question is – where to start?
If you're new to DSA, then it can seem a little
overwhelming at first. To soften the initial panic, and get
your first campaigns up and running in no time, StoreYa has put
together this comprehensive DSA guide.
How Dynamic Search Ads Work
With Dynamic Search Ads, Google will automatically and
dynamically generate ad headlines and landing page URLs and
match them to relevant customers according to the terms they
seek on Google.
Depending on the structure of your site and it's content,
DSA is designed to help you reach more potential shoppers that
are relevant to your business and offers a host of segment
options based on the products you sell. They do this by pulling
information and details from either your entire website or from
the pages you select for your targeted ads, and therefore it
would work better for site owners that have invested in their
content, have many pages indexed on Google, and have described
their products in detail. Let's go a little further…
Dynamic Search Ad Control
As a DSA advertiser, you have control over your targets,
your bids, your budgets and your ad templates. Plus, you are
able to use negative keywords as you would with normal search
ads to help with optimization. You also have the ability of
excluding certain phrases or words within the content of your
website and/or whole pages, so that if you're out of stock you
can ensure these targets are excluded.
Additionally, when it comes to reporting, DSA gives you a
lot of control. Through the dashboard you are able to view the
people who have searched and clicked on ads, which headlines
were used, and which landing pages they clicked through to. DSA
will also show you which categories on your web store are
performing better than others and what your average conversion
rate is.
How to Optimize Your Dynamic Search Ads
The trick to optimizing your Dynamic Search Ads to ensure
the highest ROIs, is to start wide and then systematically
exclude terms that don't work well — according to the CTR and
conversion rate of these terms — paying close attention to the
target's estimated website coverage. There are a number of ways
online advertisers can optimize the ads. We've broken them down
for you.
DSA Negative Keywords
Because queries are matched to website content instead of
keywords, using negative keywords is the most important
optimization you need to do. If you're new to DSA and launching
your first campaigns, it's important to check your reports
often and thoroughly for queries that are not relevant – i.e
targets that are not relevant, costing you money and yielding
no results – and then eliminating them.
DSA Segmentation
One of the most critical optimization steps is to ensure
you have proper segmentation. When creating your DSA campaigns,
you have three main targeting options: targeting your entire
website, certain categories and specific web pages. Poor
targeting and segmentation can result in a high bounce rate and
low ROIs.
We don't
recommend targeting your entire website as it will give you
less control over the traffic being driven and therefore result
in less targeted traffic. You should only target pages that can
directly convert the customers.
DSA Target Exclusions
As we mentioned, Dynamic Search Ads allow you a certain
amount of control over where ads appear and where traffic is
sent from those ads. You can do this by excluding certain
Dynamic targets from your campaigns or your ad groups. Like
segmentation, using exclusions will help optimize your
campaigns and keep them structured.
Dynamic Search Ad Requirements
To ensure you have success with Dynamic Search Ads, there
are a number of requirements you need to consider. DSA is for
online retailers that have content-rich sites — at least 100
indexed pages on Google, sites that feature a variety of
products and stores with plenty of unique landing pages. This
is because of the way DSA works, linking shopper search
queries, to specific product pages, rather than generic website
pages. Sites with well-optimized title tags and H1 titles will
perform better. On the other hand, DSA will not fit stores that
change their products too often as their page indexing will not
be updated on time.
It is also important that you have enough budget to run
ads with, as well as optimizing capabilities. Like your
traditional AdWords search ads, you should be monitoring your
accounts daily, tweaking where you can for the best conversions
for your spend.
Dynamic Search Ad Pros and Cons
Dynamic Search Ads have a lot of advantages, and a few
disadvantages, over traditional search ads. We've broken them
down into the main pros and cons below:
Automatic UpdatesWhen you make a change to
your website, whether it's to pages or products, your Dynamic
Search Ads will be updated. This is due to Google's
web-crawling algorithms which will recognize the
DSA Keyword CoverageDSA helps ensure no
relevant keywords, however 'long tail' they are, slip through
the cracks. Dynamic Search Ads offer a far wider range of
keywords covered and therefore enables you to capture traffic
that you may not have keyword coverage for with traditional
search ads.
Text FreedomDSA dynamically generates the ad
headline based on the combination of what the user is searching
for and the content from your most relevant landing page. The
dynamic headline is also not restricted to the regular 25
character limit of a regular search ad. The combination of
these two generates a much higher CTR (Click Through Rate) and
therefore a lower CPC (Cost Per Click).
EfficiencyUnlike traditional search ads that
require a lot of creativity in creating the keyword lists,
Dynamic Search Ads do it for you. This really helps as an
advertiser – you need to be cautious and exclude terms on time,
but you're to be sure that you will be targeting any relevant
DSA Cons
BudgetThere is no doubt that Dynamic Search
Ads yield good ROIs, however, if you are not able to optimize
and monitor closely – at least on a daily basis – you are bound
to lose money.
Limited ControlWith Dynamic Search Ads, you're
going to have to put a lot more further into Google's algorithm
tech with regards to targeting than you would have to with
traditional ads. Having said that, since it's launch in 2011,
it has improved immensely and a little less control does not
outweigh the convenience.
We hope this helps you get you closer to your
traffic-driving goals this year. If you have any questions or
want to chat, get in touch with us in the comments

Brazilian Beef Exporters Association - ABIEC is today one of the main examples of the importance and strength of associations in the global context.
Founded in 1979, from a need for exporters of beef to become more performance focused and more aggressive in defending their particular interests, the ABIEC became the main representative of industry in the areas of international trade regulations, health requirements and open markets.
In 1979 Brazil's participation in the global beef market was still nascent, marked by a series of requirements and protectionism.
The creation of ABIEC was a milestone for the industry and the Brazilian economy, since the institution has given voice to its members and facilitated the dialogue with national governments, other international organizations and class.
Besides of defending the members' interests and stimulating technical development, professional and social from enterprises, ABIEC has worked with state and federal governments in implementing health programs (public and animal health) through technical committees.
Brazil has health agreements with several countries and at the same time the production sector and ABIEC accelerated its professionalism, seeking new markets successfully.
In partnership with the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency - ApexBrasil (Apex-Brasil), ABIEC and its associates have participated in international fairs, such as SIAL in Paris (France); Sial China in Shanghai (China), Prodexpo in Moscow (Russia), Gulfood in Dubai (United Arab Emirates), and Anuga in Cologne (Germany), as well as workshops in partnership with Brazilian embassies around the world and to receive authorities and opinion leaders who visit the meat production chain in order to promote Brazilian products abroad.
All partnerships require effort and dedication. To perform all the steps, the results are positive and the achievements a reality.
About fifteen years ago, Brazilian beef was not on the agenda of the issues discussed in international forums. We used to sell just over $ 600 million per year, but today the reality is different. In 2017, Brazil reached approximately US$ 6,3 billion, increasing the value of its exports by more than tenfold.
It is with this heritage that ABIEC will continue to work and fight to strengthen the image of its associates and the country of Brazil in this demanding world Market.

Top 10 Mechanically Augmented Humans
Strictly speaking anyone with a mechanical augmentation that replaces a body part (or becomes a body part) is a cyborg, so why not call this list Top 10 Cyborgs?
Well, there's another list in that somewhere. There are plenty of names to pick out for that one; but this week we're focussing on those who are still (mostly) human. Someone with a few new limbs, maybe a replacement set of eyes, some kind of blood-born technology, so long as they are recognisably human, all essential parts intact. Human+ if you will.
So let us check the specs on some of our modified men and women. Welcome to our Top 10 Mechanically Augmented humans.
Top 10
10) Big Daddy – Bioshock
The Big Daddy of Bioshock are huge, lumbering hulks who stomp around in what appears to be a divers suit. The most impressive part about these beasts are the fact that they are entirely engineered that way; spliced in fact. They weren't always like this, they are the result of a lot of engineering. What's left from the spliced mutations is basically a monstrosity created by the most crazed of humanity.
These behemoths are able to really slow you down at the start of the game, but as you go through, you eventually find what makes them tick. You can generally go through a game without killing one, although where's the fun in an action game where you're not downright murdering things?!
9) Gaige the Mechromancer – Borderlands 2
The first DLC character from the series, 16 year old Gaige's major technological upgrade is the hovering murder-robot Deathtrap she made for a science fair on Eden 5, complete with razor-blades, lasers, and a concussive blast. But while she'd be pretty vulnerable without it, the Deathtrap is nothing without her either.
Following an accident in the construction process, Gaige lost an arm. Being a reasonable engineer, instead of seeking medical attention she saw the opportunity to make an upgrade, replacing her arm with the heavy digistruction module that conjures her hovering bodyguard. That takes a special kind of ingenuity, and gives her scope for a lot more upgrades.
8) Kano – Mortal Kombat
Kano was a member of a crime syndicate called the Black Dragons, who committed many crimes against humanity. He has a metal faceplate, which has a cyberkinetic eye. The eye is able to fire lasers and is basically a laser eye in general. He is a sworn enemy of the Special Forces.
He installed the faceplate mostly due to an altercation with a character from the Special Forces; another character from the franchise known as Jax (who is also a mechanically augmented human). During the battle, Jax injured Kano's eye which forced him to get surgery to replace it. Since his debut back in the early 90's, Kano has always had the faceplate and is easily one of the most recognisable characters of the Mortal Kombat franchise.
7) Batou – Ghost in the Shell
Batou or Bateau (which translates to boat in French) is a huge man who is an incredibly skilled fighter of Section 9. He's one of the main protagonists of the series and is even second in command. It's never great being second, but Batou makes his presence known throughout. He's a light-hearted behemoth of a man who is able to make a joke and bring the tension in the air right down to normal levels once more.
In Japanese however, Batou means horse, which is representative with his tiny, beady little eyes. These aren't just a case of a man squinting all day long, these are actually robotic eyes implanted in his head. Now, there's not too much to say about this, other than the fact this is a massive man who is in an incredibly well known anime and has a distinctive design thanks to those tiny eyes. Such, tiny, undersized, lifeless eyes…
6) Seven of Nine – Star Trek Voyager
Firmly in the minority on this list is someone whose upgrades have been a tremendous burden and a curse, and has sought to remove them in pursuit of greater humanity. Formerly Annika Hansen, and assimilated into the Borg Collective along with her parents at a very young age, Seven of Nine, Tertiary Adjunct of Unimatrix 01 (shortened to Seven of Nine) is freed from the cybernetic hivemind by the crew of Voyager and has many of the "upgrades" are removed over time.
Say what you will about Voyager, Seven of Nine makes for one incredible exploration into what makes us human (that and the holo-doctor is one of the best characters in the whole franchise, shut up, don't argue) and Jeri Ryan's performance balances the cold and humourless machine with the slow exploration and discovery of emotion and experience.
5) Mr Freeze – DC
Unlike most of the members of our list, Freeze is rarely represented as having any mechanical replacements or additions to his body, but without the refrigeration suit that keeps his body below freezing temperature he'd die. Fortunately Viktor Fries is also an ingenious mechanic and scientist, so the suit is also heavily armoured and equipped with a range of cold-themed weaponry and tech.
Perhaps more suited to this list is Nora, whose frozen body is equipped with some heavy duty monitoring equipment while Viktor fights to cure his terminally ill wife. The master cryogenicist has aided many of Gotham's residents in the pursuit of a cure, hero and villain alike, all eventually seem to come begging. While he may be separable from his particular augmentations, there's no doubt that he is next to nothing without them.
4) Tony Stark – Marvel
Much like Fries, Tony's major upgrade is more of a life support machine. Oh sure, everybody remembers the cool suits that deflect bullets, help him fly and shoot frickin' laser beams, but let's not forget that the power supply that's embedded in his chest is keeping him alive. Shrapnel from the blast that changed Stark's life stayed in his blood for years, held in place by the magnet powered by the same Arc reactor that he's since upgraded to power the Iron Man suits.
The same tech has been used in the comics for incredible feats, including hovering cars, and powering the reconstructed Asgard. Tony Stark's greatest asset is also his biggest vulnerability, he starts dying rapidly if the reactor is removed or loses its charge, sadly using the suits drains the power. No wonder he started drinking.
3) Raiden – Metal Gear Solid
Now this is where things get really interesting – See, Raiden, whose real name is Jack (or Jack the Ripper), was a mercenary and a damn good one. He was part of many fights, in which he would often be the winner. Notably wielding swords in favour of guns (Although skilled with a pistol too), Raiden was just a codename behind a rather pivotal member of many different groups and affiliations.
Raiden gains some cookie points here – Although he's often referred to as an android, he was most certainly human to begin with. Through his many battles, he's slowly been 'upgraded' time and time again. As such, he's become less human throughout his many fights and has slowly become more of an android… But he's still very much human at his core.
2) Adam Jensen – Deus Ex Series
When we considered this list Adam Jensen was the face we had in mind, and the benchmark we set for how augmented the character has to be before they're more machine than man. Jensen at least has most of a torso and head, I think there's some organs in there. Anyway…
Former head of security for Sarif Industries who make all of the tech he's been implanted with following his sacrifice for the sake of protecting his company and the woman he loved. Afterwards he's dragged into a world of intrigue, walking between human purists and corporate control of people through augmentation. The game raises some potent questions about what defines humanity, and the incredible power corporatocracy has over us, even today.
Jensen himself features a full set of mechanical limbs, capable of incredible feats of strength, speed, and agility, containing a strong and sharp ceramic blade. Mechanical alterations to his organs and sensory organs make him more durable, accurate, and responsive. While his mechanical upgrades make him a more effective agent, it puts him in a rather vulnerable position when it comes to the matters of morality Deus Ex raises.
1) Edward Elric – Fullmetal Alchemist
Well, anyone who knows anime will know of Edward Elric, who gets our top spot this week. He's clever, he's in fact a bit of a prodigy and he has a spiffy piece of weaponry. One of the most skilled melee fighters of all of the State Alchemists, the older Elric brother is doggedly determined and ultimately one of the most well-rounded of all of the alchemists. However, he does put a lot of heart into his line of work.
He committed the ultimate taboo, by trying to do human transmutation to bring their dead mother back to life. In the process, they created a monstrosity known as a Homunculus. As well as this, Alphonse Elric, Edwards brother, was almost killed in the process, losing his whole body. Edward, who lost his leg for trying to bring their mother back, ends up losing his right arm as well to bind Alphonse's soul to a suit of armour. Horrific backstory and all, Fullmetal is a well deserved title for the boy who endured unimaginable pain, became a dog of the military just so they could understand and ultimately aim to restore their bodies back to their former glory.
The type of metal used in Fullmetal's arm and leg are automail, which is a tough and durable metal, which is incredibly hard to work with. Most people with prosthetics in their world have a much more inferior model than Ed's own. Metal being connected to nerves, but at the end of the day, his limbs are literally functional as real limbs. Except for when they seize up… Although one could argue the point that joints do indeed seize up too. Ah, he's just like new again.
Honourable Mentions
We've now seen the very best enhancements a human can bare, so don't be afraid of a little application gel on the arm. From the eery, down to the very brave, we've finished creating our list of mechanically augmented humans who took every opportunity to ensure they were the best they could be… But here are two more who deserve a mark of respect for their commitment to the cause.
Viktor – League of Legends
Viktor is a sad tale. We recently mentioned Veigar, the Tiny Master of Evil who has a rather fantastic story. Viktor isn't so fantastic – Instead, his is a tale of woe and deceit… And a little bit of insanity. Known as the machine herald, he attended the College of Techmaturgy, a place where he was sure to make his mark. He created Blitzcrank, who he was sure would place him amongst the top of his field.
Of course, things never worked out that way. Instead his credit was stolen by his professor, who also used Viktors research to revive Urgot. Viktor felt betrayed and as such went into a depression. He secluded himself and ended up doing all he could… he ended up augmenting himself as his ultimate test to see how far the human body could go.
Johnny Matheny – Robotic prosthetics user and pioneer for John Hopkins College
Let's be clear, Johnny Matheny is not unique, nor is he the ingenious mind behind the incredible prosthetics he now uses, he's a self proclaimed hillbilly. He's also the one of the closest things we have to a full blown cyborg!
John Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory have grafted his new arm directly to his bone, with an innovative nerve control interface that allow far greater control over his modular arm, and more importantly with far greater comfort. He's one a handful of people trialling the incredible developments that combine medicine and mechanics, new robotic components to replace what we lose in our life.
Other prosthetics being tested right now include functioning eyes that send signals directly into the brain, new implants to effectively cure syndromes like diabetes, and 3D printed replacement parts for hard materials like replacement skull plates.
Oi, put your screwdrivers and wrenches down, this Top 10 list is over. We've searched for the best engineered humans and we seem to have gotten to the bottom of the list. Whilst all of the humans listed are incredibly capable characters, we've once again had to be harsher on some of the bigger names due to what they represent from a technological standpoint. But now, you can help equip us with next week's list.
As always, we love to see what you all have to say about our Top 10 list for the week – So why not have a ponder as to what's the best mechanically engineered human on this list. Do you agree with the Fullmetal Alchemist himself being number one, or do you feel we valued his humanity too much? Do you think we were fair in our assessment of Mr. Freeze? Was there a character we totally forgot and should have put in? As always, leave your comments below, or over on Facebook, Twitter or Reddit.

Can't really add any suggestions… buuuuttt….
I wouldn't consider Freeze a mechanically augmented human. As you mentioned with Jensen, he was the benchmark for being augmented and I don't think Freeze matches that as well as other characters:
-Non of his limbs are mechanical or replaced
-Whilst his suit is essential for his work he can survive without it given certain conditions (and if the universe permits it)
This could also disqualify Stark, though I think if the Bleeding Edge suit is taken into account, then he'd secure the place easily
October 15, 2016 at 5:16 pm
Ah now this is the interesting part: Freeze can't survive much at all without that suit – At least in usual Eartly conditions. With that in mind, he might not be a perfect fit for this list, in that he's able to get out of his machines, the fact he has to rely on it so heavily (lest he dies) implies he's basically augmented to that suit. He's bound to it in order to be alive.
It's a technicality, so I think this was probably our strangest technicality pick for a Top 10.
However, Stark being discounted – He has that battery keeping himself alive in the middle of his chest. He's certainly augmented with machinery. Plus, that pacemaker acts as a way to power his bleeding edge suit. I think he'd definitely stay. Freeze is debatable!

Caelus sanctions Nuna development
The local subsidiary of a Texas-based independent made the decision known in a March 2015 letter to the Alaska Department of Natural Resources. The company said it had made an internal decision to sanction the project back in September 2014, subject to the approval of a royalty modification request, which the state approved earlier this year.
Nuna is a satellite of the Oooguruk unit, a nearshore oil development northwest of the Kuparuk River unit on the North Slope. Caelus acquired both the unit and the satellite when it acquired the Alaska assets of Pioneer Natural Resources Alaska Inc. last year.
The company told state officials it has already "prepared and executed" 16 authorizations for expenditure totaling more than $480 million and intended to prepare another 31 authorizations for expenditure. Altogether, the project will cost more than $800 million.

I, the Honorable; Sovereign:-Benjamin-Douglas-Allan: of the Doolitlles', as Embassador-at-Large for the Kanienkehaka Nation,
Do Hereby, make REQUEST for Inspection of PROOF of DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY from the Kanienkehaka Nation.
If obligation/command/order is made of our people by your people, companies and/or organizations, the burden of proof is on he who makes that assertion/claim.
Do you hold Real-Proof of delegation of authority from the Kanienkehaka Nation?
[[Hypothetically: You can delegate authority to a plumber to fix your pipes because you own the pipes and thus have the ultimate right to do with them as you please. A plumber who works on your pipes without your approval is called a Good Samaritan…or a vandal. A plumber who works on your pipes after you have authorized him to do so is called an agent]]
If you continue to make the determination that you have the authority to make determination on behalf of the Kanienkehaka members without proof of delegation of authority, It can only be seen as VANDALISM and Trespass against the Kanienkehaka Constitution its members and/or way of life and quality of the life of its members.
I pray that, you take the time to address and consider this matter as a serious flaw in your authority as applied to the Kanienkehaka Nation, or to correct this matter with real-evidence for proof of delegation of authority from the Kanienkehaka Nation to make determination on behalf of its members, so that the Kaninkehaka Members may properly inspect then ascertain their obligation if any.
Since time is of the essence we require a prompt response to our concerns and full disclosure of any obligatory contracts.
Within two weeks from receipt of this demand should be sufficient time for you to retrieve any instrument of indebtedness through delegation of authority from the Kanienkehaka Nation, if you require more time; you must request an extension within reason.
Silence can only equate with guilt where there is a legal and moral duty to respond.
With peace, strength and righteousness

Let Me Start: Ending another war?
President Obama will make his first major counterterrorism speech of his second term today. He plans to put limits on the nation's use of unmanned drone strikes that have rankled liberals and libertarians alike. He will also renew his vow to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay. The speech comes one day after the administration formally acknowledged for the first time that four Americans had been killed in drone strikes. And most importantly, it represents a break from the policies of that guided the administration of George W. Bush – policies the Obama administration maintained and in some cases expanded.
Here's Politico's take on why the leaks controversy could linger.
Senator Ted Cruz says he doesn't trust his own party to fix the country's fiscal situation.
Another politician with a sex scandal in his past has his eye on higher office.

Hear... Feel... Think
I'll try to be short, here I'll talk a little about myself, about how we came to this domain, and some history of it. Then I'll have credits for this layout, and under all of that I'll have previews of the old layouts - from all the changes I miss 4 on 22 layouts.
This domain was bought on 29th July 2004, so this summer it will pass 10 years from when I got it. I remember I got it, because I wanted a domain of my own, even if my then boyfriend (now lot of exs behind), offered me a subdomain on his. But we were just braking up, so I didn't want to have any ties with him. I registred it firstly on GoDaddy an then soon after Namecheap opened, I moved it to there. The name was a combination of names I came up but they were all taken. I'm wanted SilverMoon or BloodyMoon, BloodyRed and then it came out SilverBlood. Yeah, stupid, I know.
The bloody owner
There is actually not much to say about the owner. Anyway I'm Saya, it wasn't the first nick name I used, before that I was know as Mokuren or simply Moku online, but then I don't remember why I passed to Saya. Borh on 23rd December 1980, I started early with learning how to move around internet, and started with making pages around 2000, then stopped, then restarted around 2003-2004; and then back when I started more seriously with the fanlistings in 2007, where I improved my coding skills...
Things have changed a little, I am not single anymore; I moved to France to be with my better half and I am working to get also Bonnie, my ferret here too, unfortunatly Clyde died of cancer in September 2015.
I'm not in to the anime anymore as I was years back, still love to read a good manga, or at least, re-read stuff from years ago. And my favorite character stays Yuuko from XXXHOLiC.
This layout was made done by Saya. The fonts are from dafont. The header image is concept art from Final Fantasy XIV. Art by Takahashi Kazuya. Everything related to Final Fantasy XIV on this page is (C) SQUARE ENIX

According to the account, the vote was a landslide, with 138 votes in favor, 41 abstentions and nine votes against the resolution. This act granting Palestinians the title of "non-member observer state" is not full U.N. membership, but allows them access to the International Criminal Court, the World Bank and other international bodies. "The ICC issue is what the Israelis are really worried about," a U.N. official said on condition of anonymity.
According to the book of Revelation, the rebuilding of the temple in Jerusalem will offer a provision to "Gentiles" - which would include Arabs vying for the occupation of the Temple Mount. Revelation 11.1-2 states, "I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, "Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for 42 months."(NIV) Many believe the Jewish temple will be built in such a manner that the Dome of the Rock will be within these outer courts.

Choosing your degree course
You will find opinions vary on the reputation of a particular university. If a university has a 'good' reputation, this does not necessarily mean the department you are applying to does or its reputation is based on the quality of its teaching. League tables published in newspapers vary, since the newspaper editor decides how to award the marks; therefore, they are not objective. For you, the most important criteria are likely to be good teaching (with a style that suits you) and that the department has a high rating for research.
Sources to help you decide:
Unistats is an official website that enables you to compare subjects at universities and colleges in the UK. You can also read what over 177,000 students felt about the quality of their higher education experience. If you register on the site, you will be able to save your own shortlist of subjects and universities/colleges, which is useful if you want to refer back to it later.
The Quality Assurance Agency ( QAA) for higher education have assessed the teaching quality of all higher education institutions and courses across the UK. Their report includes what students thought of their university department and what the drop our rate was. You should refer to the report for any university department you are interested in; it will tell you progression rates as well as what students think of the department.
In 2001, the Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) rated the quality of research undertaken in university departments. This will be repeated in 2008. A high rating (5*) means that the staff publish lots of high quality research papers and are well-known in their field of work. As a student you will benefit as you will have access to high quality research apparatus; however, it may mean that lecturers are more devoted to research than teaching.
The Gocracker website has a full list of UK colleges and universities to give you a snapshot of what it would be like to study in each one. This may be a helpful starting place for your search.
How long?
Bachelor or 'first' degrees usually take three or four years to complete full time. You can also study part time or through flexible learning. Many of the science and maths subjects offer four year degree courses, which may be an advantage, especially if you intend to continue on in research or to do a post-graduate qualification.
Engineering courses are often masters courses lasting four years and some subjects can take longer than four years; for example, medical courses usually take five or six years.
Course content
Each course will contain a number of options and modules, find out what they involve and whether they cover areas that you are interested in and what careers options they might lead on to.
Accredited degrees
Some professions approve or accredit degree courses which can then lead to what is known as 'Chartered Status' or membership of a professional body. Achieving chartered status demonstrates to employers and society at large that you have attained a high level of professionalism. If you're looking to pursue a career in a particular area, check your course is one of those approved by the relevant professional body.

Moss growing in a lawn is usually the result of one or two of several causes. Whatever the specific reason(s), the moss grew there because bare ground was available and grass was not competing for the same area. The challenge is to find out why grass was not growing in the bare spots on your lawn.
Check the pH of the soil with your testing kit, preferrably one that will also test for nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Follow testing instructions, which usually call for taking a soil sample, mixing it with the powder provided, and then with water. Stir well and compare the resulting color with the chart included in the kit. The results will tell you if the soil needs lime or fertilizer.
Remove as much of the moss as possible either by using a chemical such as ammonium sulfate or copper sulfate, or by manually raking up the clumps of moss. Both of these will only temporarily remove the moss if the conditions that allowed it to grow in the first place are not corrected.
Apply the necessary amendments and work them into the soil with a garden rake. Try to scratch the dirt about 1/4 inch deep. If the soil if very compacted, you can start aerating it naturally by adding compost, which will in turn attract earthworms. Punch it into the soil with the tines of a pitchfork.
Improve the light reaching the lawn by removing as many limbs as possible that are blocking the sunlight. Sometimes, just thinning the overhead branches will allow enough sunlight to get through. Call an arborist to remove very large limbs if you do not have the proper tools and training.
Reseed the area by sprinkling the new seed over the bare areas. This is much faster than waiting for the existing lawn to fill in, although it should once the grass growing conditions improve. Add about 1/4 inch of topsoil/potting soil or sand over the area to make sure the grass seed has good soil contact.
Water the area daily until you see the grass seed sprouting and then only once a week. Keep all traffic off the new lawn for about a month to give it a chance to establish a good root system.

Her raspy, guttural growl has been emulated by many, but 42 years after her death, no one could ever replace Janis Lyn Joplin, the fiery Texas blues singer known as much as for her hard partying and manic live shows as her work with Big Brother and the Holding Company. Had Joplin been alive today—on what would have been her 69th birthday—no doubt she'd still be chain-smoking, swilling Jack Daniels and singing the blues.
The next best thing, though, is our Spotify playlist below, featuring 30 of the singer's best tracks. Some you definitely know. Some are lost gems. But all flaunt the distinct imprint of the 1960s' most memorable female vocalist.

Chera silver coin.
CHENNAI: A Chera coin made of silver, with the portrait of a Cheraking wearing a Roman-type bristled-crown helmet, acquired by R. Krishnamurthy, has come into focus for its potential significance. Dr. Krishnamurthy is the Editor of Dinamalar, a Tamil daily.
While the portrait is found on the obverse side of the coin, its reverse shows traces of "bow and arrow," the symbol of the Chera dynasty. The coin is highly corroded but the portrait is clearly visible. It has a diameter of 1.6 cm and weighs 1.8 gm.
Dr. Krishnamurthy procured it a year ago from a coin collector named Veeramani who belongs to Krishnagiri in Dharmapuri district in Tamil Nadu. Mr. Veeramani was said to have obtained it from a gold-panner working on the sands of the Amaravathi riverbed in Karur.
The obverse side of the coin has the portrait of a king, facing left, wearing a Roman-type helmet. With a flat nose and protruding lips, he has a wide and thick ear lobe but wears no ear-ring. The person depicted appears to be elderly.
There is no legend above or around the portrait. There are traces of "bow and arrow," the symbol of the Chera dynasty, on the reverse.
Dr. Krishnamurthy, a numismatist of repute, said: "Probably this coin is an important discovery. The importance is due to the portrait, which may represent a Chera king.
Unlike other Chera silver portrait coins, the king's portrait on this coin faces left."
Earlier, several Sangam Age Chera coins including one with a portrait and the legend "Mak-kotai" and another with the legend "Kuttuvan Kotai" had come to light. These were discovered from the Amaravathi riverbed.
The coin in Dr. Krishnamurthy's possession is more or less similar to these two, which have a portrait with a legend above it. The reverse side is blank.The latest coin points to Romans having had trade contacts with the Chera kings.
Dr. Krishnamurthy said: "There are so many proofs to show that the Romans had trade contacts with the Tamils, especially with the Chera country. From the later part of the first century B.C. there was a big trade contact between Romans and the Chera kings. This [coin] clearly establishes that the Roman soldiers had landed in the Chera country to give protection to the Roman traders who had come there to buy materials. A Chera king with a Roman helmet is important. This especially has bristles."
Dr. Krishnamurthy added: "Praetorian guards wore helmets with bristles.It was generally believed that the Satavahanas were the first indigenous monarchs to issue silver portrait coins. That has been disprovedby the discovery of Mak-kotai and Kuttuvan-Kotai coins belonging to the first century A.D. or a little later. But the coin under consideration may beearlier to the previous portrait coins already published. This coin maybelong to the first century B.C. and may be earlier to Mak-kotai andKuttuvan-Kotai coins."
Silver coins issued by Augustus and Tiberius, the Roman emperors, have over a period of time been discovered in large numbers from the Coimbatore-Karur tract which formed part of the ancient Chera country.

The Nokia Bridge Project was started to help employees leaving the company to pursue an idea on their own. Call this an overgenerous employer or a smart move that promotes the pursuit of technology that are currently not in the list of priority for Nokia, but the Bridge project has helped several good companies to break away from Nokia and start off on their own.
A recent development is the Jolla project, which reportedly received not only the technical help and funding from the Bridge project, but also intellectual property rights in the form of some patents that Nokia currently holds. The news that Nokia gives MeeGo patents to Jolla comes as a surprise to many. However, the fact remains that even if this news is true, some of these patents and rights were the results of the work of the same MeeGo team when they were working on the Nokia N9 project.
On the other hand, Nokia's Mark Durrant, categorically denies that any exchange of patents ever took place. He mentioned that although they are proud of the support given to employees leaving the company and starting on their own, it does not include offering patents owned by the company to any of these businesses that are formed as a result of this project.
In a different note, Jolla's founder Jussi Hurmola has however not given any clear idea as to when we can see some results of the Jolla project in the market. Having said that he has also not denied the possibilities of seeing something before the New Year.

Shallots are basically mild onions; they reproduce by bulb division underground and require the same growing conditions as garlic. When their green shoots show above ground level, they can be cut off and used like chives.
Shallots need to be planted about 20cm apart, and should produce six to ten bulbs per plant. Like garlic they are also planted on the shortest day and harvested on the longest. Prepare them in the same way you would garlic, in a well-ventilated, dry situation. Well-cured shallots will keep for at least nine months.
