I am so pleased that I finally invested in this dehydrator. It was the final (and most expensive!) piece of equipment I needed for my raw food kitchen. I went for the five shelf one as there are only two if us and it is the perfect size. Don't use it every week because when I do
I normally fill it up and let it dehydrate for 24 hours at a time so I then have plenty of gorgeous tasty goodies to last me a couple of weeks or so. Delighted I eventually took the plunge and bought one. The smells that wafts through the house when it's dehydrating is heavenly. Highly recommended. PS the service from UK Juicers is very fast and efficient.

text: There is dessert and there is over-the-top, drool-inducing deliciousness. Enter candy-stuffed, peanut butter-coated, Nutella-drizzled monkey bread. And how did this come about, this crazy-good combo? Let's just say we've got some creative people on our team. And, I mean, who wouldn't want to eat a candy-stuffed monkey bread? We weren't sure if this idea was going to be brilliant or a brilliant flop, but I volunteered to give it a go. Spoiler: Not only does it work, but it's also as glorious as it sounds. Drooling yet? Here's how to make it. Assemble your monkey bread-making ingredients. ¼ cup white sugar 1 teaspoon cinnamon, divided 2 cans flaky layers buttermilk biscuits 16 Fun-Size Candy Bars 3 tablespoons butter ½ cup peanut butter ½ cup brown sugar ¼ cup Nutella Preheat the oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray. In a shallow bowl, mix 1/4 cup sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Set aside. Prepare both your biscuits and candy bars for a mini assembly line. Think small. I cut each biscuit into quarters for a total of 64 biscuit pieces. Then, cut the fun-size candy bars into quarters. I used 16 bars total – a mix of Milk Way, Snickers and 100 Grand Bars. Now wrap the dough around the candy pieces, being sure to seal the top with a firm pinch or twist. Roll the balls of candy-stuffed dough in your pre-mixed cinnamon-sugar. Then place into the prepared Bundt pan. It seems complicated, but if you have all of your ingredients prepared you can wrap, coat in sugar and place in the pan in one swift motion! Next up: The ooey-gooey goodness that holds the whole thing together. Instead of the traditional monkey bread caramel, I uppped the ante with peanut butter sauce! And it turns out it's ridiculously easy to make. Combine ½ cup of peanut butter and 3 tablespoons of butter in a microwavable bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals until melted. Stir in ¼ cup of brown sugar and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon. Pour that delicious-smelling sauce over your monkey bread. Bake that beautiful bread for 20-25 minutes, checking for doneness. The tops should be golden brown but the center will still be slightly jiggly to the touch. That's okay. You're going to let it sit and it will gradually set, cooking a little more as it cools. After running a knife around the edges, I let mine sit for about an hour. Then I flipped it (and miracle of all miracles) it all came out in one piece. Now you could stop there. Or you could keep going and drizzle melted Nutella (about ¼ cup) over the whole thing. Yeah, I went there, and it was ah-mazing. Seconds after this picture was taken, a team of hungry editors tore into this bread as if we hadn't eaten in weeks. (We had been snacking all day.) So whether you have a pile of Halloween candy or you're just bored on a Saturday, you should probably try making this so-crazy-it-works monkey bread.

FDA Guidance for Industry
Dosage Delivery Devices for Orally Ingested OTC Liquid Drug Products
Over-the-Counter (OTC) Dosage Delivery Devices
On May 4, 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a final guidance for industry with the Agency's recommendations for improving dosage delivery devices, such as cups and droppers, for over-the-counter (OTC) (i.e., non-prescription) orally ingested liquid drug products.
This document is intended to provide guidance to firms that are manufacturing, marketing, or distributing orally ingested over-the-counter (OTC) liquid drug products (e.g., elixirs, suspensions, solutions, syrups) that are packaged with dosage delivery devices (e.g., calibrated cups, droppers, syringes, spoons).
Because written, printed, or graphic matter appearing on dosage delivery devices packaged with aTC liquid drug products is considered labeling, such markings on these devices must not be false or misleading and must be clear and consistent with the drug product's directions for use.
- See sections 201 the Federal (m), 502(a) and 502(f)(1) of Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act.)

A few years back, you would have to root your Android device to even take a screenshot and record the Android screen, etc. But thankfully, rooting is not a necessity now; it's more of a luxury. If you are one of the control freaks that want to control each and every aspect of your Android device like removing system applications, controlling processor clock speed and taking a complete backup of all the Operating System, then rooting is for you.
What Exactly Is Rooting?
Doesn't matter which Android device you own, all OEMs put certain restrictions on the device. Like — you can not uninstall system apps, you can not flash a custom ROM, or change CPU clock speed, etc. Now, usually, these restrictions are there for the own good of customers. If you are not sure what you are doing on a rooted Android, chances are you can mess it up pretty badly.
But if you root your device, you gain system level privileges on your Android. It's equivalent to running Windows program as an administrator or using super user command on Linux. If you are still not able to make up your mind, here are ten reasons why you should root your Android.
Now this question comes up from time to time. And the only answer to it is — there is no one way to root Android device. Unlike iPhone, Android are made from difference manufacture and thus they have a different method of rooting it.
But there are two general methods that work in most cases.
1. One-click root method like KingoRoot — This method is the easiest one. All you have to do is; install the app, connect your phone to your computer and run the application. If your device is compatible, the app will root your device in no time. This app works by finding some vulnerability on your device and then using it to Root your Android. But unfortunately, this method on few devices, generally the older one.
2. Flash SU zip from custom recovery – The second method is the most reliable way to root your phone because in this method you will unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery. If you have a custom recovery installed, then rooting is a piece of cake because system partition can be easily modified through custom recovery. But since, every device is made different, the steps to unlock bootloader and installing custom recovery is different for each device.
The best to find, how to root your Android, is by doing a simple Google search with your device model and Android version or watch a couple of video on YouTube.
Note: Rooting your device can void your phone's warranty, proceed at your own risk.
Let's say you have gone through all the complicated process of rooting your phone, now what? How to use these administrative privileges? To utilize all these privileges efficiently & gain full control of your Android you need to use certain applications. And here are some of the best apps that every Root user should install.
Best Root Apps for Android
#1 SuperSU [Free]
The first thing that you need to do after rooting your Android is to install SuperSU. Why? Well, once you root your Android, every ROOT app you install after that, will automatically acquire root access without asking you. And SuperSu fixes this problem.
If you have SuperSU install, apps that require root access will show a popup, asking for permission for ROOT access – which you can grant or deny. And next time you open the same app, it'll remember your preference. It also has a unique feature that lets you completely UNROOT your Android, but before you get all excited, this feature doesn't work on every device.
#2 ROM Manager [Free]
When you buy an Android, it comes with either a stock ROM like in Nexus or TouchWiz in case it's Samsung's phone. But the good thing about Android is, if you are not happy with your current ROM, you can easily flash a different one like CyanogenMod, etc. And apps like ROM Manager, helps you do both i.e. – download a custom ROM and flash it on your device with a press of a button.
You can also use it easily flash a custom recovery (CWM) and take full Nandroid back of your device.
#3 Adaway [Free]
Adaway is an open source ad blocker that modifies the host files of your Android. It can block ads on both – browser and within the app. You can also add certain sites (that you want to support) to the white-lists.
Though make sure you disable the Ad blocking before you uninstall the app, or it'll permanently hide all the ads even though the app is not installed. For obvious reason, the app is not available on Google play store.
Also See: Best Android Apps not on Google Play
#4 Titanium Backup [Free]
Unlike iPhone, Android can not take a full backup of all your data. Yes, there are some 3rd party workarounds, but it still can not create an exact copy of Apps and its data. And well, Titanium backup is the solution here. It can take a full backup of all the apps and their data. You can even automate the backup process and save it to your cloud storage like Dropbox for complete peace of mind.
It also offers other useful features like — uninstall system apps (bloatware), freeze apps and much more. Though, for these extra features, you'll have to get $5 paid version, which is totally worth it, in my opinion.

#5 DiskDigger [Free]
Lets you recover delete files from internal storage. We all have those times when we accidentally deleted something that we didn't want to. And thankfully with apps like DiskDigger, you easily recover deleted files and photos from your internal storage. The app works similar to most data recovery apps for computer i.e. run the app, specify the file type and the folder where you want it to scan. And it'll recover those photos for you which you can either save to your gallery or share online.
The free version works for png, jpg, and mp4. Recovering rest file formats are paid.
#6 Xposed framework [Free]
It is a framework which provides handles to the user for making system changes which allow tweaks and modifications. Xposed contains hundreds of modules which user can download from the application itself. These Xposed modules are likes standalone applications that use Xposed Framework handles to tweak your Android. You get custom ROM features without flashing any ROM. Before you use any modules let me clarify that these modules make changes in your system partition hence, please do some research before installing them.
Some must have Xposed modules for root users.
5.1 Gravity box – tweak every inch of your Android
5.2 X-privacy – deny certain app permission for the app
5.3 Boot Manager – prevent apps from running into startup
#7 BusyBox [Free]
BusyBox is a collection of Unix tools which can be used with Linux kernel to replace conventional commands with smaller no of executables. This application is not directly useful, but many root apps require you to install it so that they can function properly. Basically, it's a collection of a bunch of terminal commands.
After installation, the application will scan for applets that are already present on your device. After the scanning is complete, the screen will show the recommended applet list for your device. After choosing applets, we can hit install to start the applet installation.
#8 Link2SD [Free]
Consider this situation in which you have limited internal storage space on your Android, but you still want to install a game which requires huge disk space. With Link2SD you can use some of the external SD card space as an extended internal storage.
With Link2SD, installed application is sitting in your internal storage, but the application data is in external storage which is quite handy for low storage phones. The best way to use this application is by splitting the external SD storage into two parts and using one of them as extended internal storage.
Related: How to use Link2SD to Expand Internal Memory of Android
#9 Notification OFF [Free]
Suppose you have too many apps on your phone which are constantly notifying you about something, but you don't want to be bothered at your workplace. The conventional way to avoid this problem is to manually disable notifications for each app. Luckily, with Notification OFF you can select multiple apps in a single window for disabling their notifications.
You can also create your own profiles which again can be integrated with Tasker to improve the functionality.

This is an idea that did not so much come to me, as was thrown into my lap when I was half playing puzzles, dress-up, princess and fairy-land and monsters with my three-year-old AND Barefoot Contessa was on TV. (In the background…volume…moderately low). She was doing a show on anniversary foods and featured these lovely mustard roasted potatoes. I stopped drinking imaginary mango-lily-chocolate tea and looked up at the the TV just in time to see her lathering her potatoes in Dijon mustard. I then went back to drinking tea and fighting bad monsters into a cage so Uncle Alex can eat them later (we are currently saving all the monsters we find as Uncle Alex informed Zara the last time he saw her that he eats monsters…so…we have a lot of monsters for you Alex…).
I forgot about the potatoes until about 4, when I was starting to think about making dinner. I knew I was going to be making some sort of chicken salad (since I had made a monstrous roaster on the day that it snowed…which day was that? All of them.) so I wanted something warm to accompany the cold salad. And we always have a lot of potatoes…I remembered Ina talking about them lovingly (which I love her for, as I more often than not talk about food lovingly) and decided that I would make them. But the computer wasn't turned on and my phone was dead. So…I decided to wing it based on the image I had of her…massaging the mustard into her potatoes.
Since I'm a big fan of raclette, I decided I would incorporate cornichons into the mix as well, because there is nothing like getting Z to eat something, than putting baby pickles all over it. I'm also a big fan of easy…which is what this is. The result? Fantastic. All 3 of us loved them, and ate them ALL. I highly recommend you make this, all the time.
This is what you'll need;
1 tbsp olive oil
3 medium potatoes, washed well and sliced in rounds
3 tbsp coarse mustard like dijion
1 medium onion, sliced thinly into half moons
2 cloves garlic, sliced thin
1 tea salt
1 tea pepper
1/2 cup cornichons, sliced in half
Preheat oven to 350 F
On a tin-foil lined baking sheet, add olive oil, onion and sliced potatoes. Salt and pepper and dollop the mustard in the middle. Sprinkle garlic.
Now, don't be shy. Roll up your sleeves and with your newly washed hands, massage all that goodness into your potatoes and onions. Rub them until you can tell that all the mustard has coated all the potatoes. Fabulous. Now pop in the oven for 35-45 minutes, or until potatoes are cooked through.
Once your potatoes are cooked through, add to a serving bowl or plate and stir the cornichons through. This will warm them slightly but not take away their delicious crunch. It will also add a little more salt to the potatoes, and the vinegar from them will give the whole side dish a nice kick.

The RS200 to RS250 models rotary screw air compressor will reduce energy cost by approximately 10 percent for large manufacturing facilities, according to the company statement.
The RS200 to RS250 models are available with the new, single-stage air end, or the two-stage air end that increases airflow by up to 16 percent. The new fixed-speed models are 10 percent more efficient compared to legacy products, while the variable speed option is up to 35 percent more efficient compared to the industry average.
Commenting on the launch, Amar Kāul, Chairman and Managing Director, Ingersoll Rand India said, "Around the world, businesses turn to Ingersoll Rand to redefine reliability and efficiency. The next generation R-series will help our customers do just that by delivering world class efficiency, increase uptime and deliver the right solution for operational excellence.
The new series will enable our customers in India to be more competitive in the global environment by boosting their productivity with a state of the art air end that delivers as much as 15 percent improved efficiency and 16 percent greater airflow capacity. The IE3 premium efficiency motor will help deliver significant energy savings and the optional variable speed drive (VSD) will further decrease energy demands. With the launch of next generation R-Series, we continue to push the edge of innovation to help our customers achieve real business results, including cost reductions and lower total cost of ownership."
Ingersoll Rand has added these models to the next generation R-Series portfolio allowing customers who run 24/7 and rely on large amounts of compressed air to have equipment that is as reliable as their demand. According to internal testing, efficiency and design improvements on some of the high capacity compressors deliver up to Rs 23.4 lakh energy cost savings over a two-year period per compressor compared to previous models.
"The ability for these compressors to deliver outstanding efficiency without compromising reliability meets the increasing demands of industries to increase productivity while reducing energy use," said Kevin Kosobud, Portfolio Leader, Oil Flooded Compressors for Compression Technologies and Services at Ingersoll Rand.
"Our Next-Generation R-Series RS200 to RS250 models help customers increase overall system reliability and decrease their total cost of ownership with new state-of-the-art features and performance enhancements that save them tens of thousands of rupees."
At the core of every Ingersoll Rand Next Generation R-Series compressor is an air end that is specifically designed to improve overall system efficiency. In addition to the enhanced single-stage air end, the RS200 to RS250 models are also available with the new two-stage air end. This two-stage air end is the most efficient air end available today, claims the company statement.
Each compressor comes standard with Progressive Adaptive Control (PAC) Protection, VShield technology, floating coolers and ultra coolant. These features help equipment running efficiently and maximize uptime for facilities that are manufacturing around the clock.
- PAC Protection is an algorithm developed by Ingersoll Rand and is integrated in the controls system within each compressor. The system monitors key performance parameters for when consumable parts are nearing the end of their life, or if operating temperatures are reaching design limits. In these situations, the controls adjust the parameters to keep the machine running without overloading the motor, preventing unnecessary shutdown.
- V-Shield technology safeguards all critical fittings by securing them with o-ring face seals in a method that is largely free from distortion. Leaks are virtually eliminated, meaning performance isn't sacrificed, regardless of how many reconnections are made.
- The floating cooling system from Ingersoll Rand contains heat exchangers with finger-tight connections so they can expand and contract as needed. This new design improves overall system reliability, because welded connections reduce the ability for heat exchangers to expand and contract, which is the number one reason they fail.
- Ultra Coolant is formulated to last up to 8,000 hours, which is twice as long as other rotary lubricants. Ultra Coolant keeps compressors running at peak performance, minimizing downtime and lowering lifecycle costs.
All next generation R-Series air compressors are equipped with Xe-series controllers, which allow easy, intuitive access to, and control of, the compressed air system. The Xe145 controller has built-in performance analysis and graphical trending, as well as built-in sequencing for up to four compressors.

Metaphysical boundaries of machines
This content was COPIED from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
Any ideas or thoughts on this would be appreciated. I've read the textbook and am just overwhelmed with all the information. I'm just not sure how to get started.
Science fiction literature often raises philosophical issues and is a great source for philosophical speculation. This is especially true for the mind/body problem. For example, it is common in science fiction literature to encounter androids. An android is a robot which resembles a human being in appearance and behavior. Examples of androids in science fiction books, television programs or films are numerous (Star Trek, Star Wars, Aleins, Terminator, A.I., I Robot, etc.). In reality many computer scientists are currently working in the area of "artificial intelligence" or machines that can "think for themselves." Many computer scientists believe this is the first step in creating these androids of the future and that in time the distinction between man and machine will be practically erased. These scientists speculate that androids with super-computer brains will have thoughts, beliefs, feelings and desires just like humans. Therefore, some argue, they will also have the same rights, responsibilities, and privileges that all humans have and should be treated as thus. Do you see problems with this view of the future? Do you think machines can ever become persons?
In order to explore this question, let us consider an episode of the popular television series, Star Trek: The Next Generation. I have provided a synopsis.
After reading the synopsis write a substantive response. As you consider your response keep the following questions in mind:
Do you think that artificial intelligence to the level as it is presented in the story will someday be possible? Why or why not?
If AI does become possible, will we have obligations to treat machines "ethically?" Will they have rights? Will turning them off, as Riker does to Data, constitute murder?
What view of the mind/body problem do you think is exhibited by Picard? By Maddox?
Do you think Maddox is right when he claims that Picard is being "irrational and emotional" in his view of Data?
Do you think Picard's argument about slavery is ultimately valid? Why or why not?
Do you agree with the JAG officers final ruling. Why or why not?© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com October 9, 2019, 9:49 pm ad1c9bdddf
Solution Preview
The first thing that comes to mind with your request is that I will probably never watch another episode of Star Trek in the same way ever again. The metaphysical implications in a being such as Data are astronomical, pardon the pun. Yet in reality, I feel that Data has too much credit as a machine. The essence of the argument considers defining that which is human and the inherent rights a human being possesses. The argument purposed is that there is a metaphysical distinction between human beings and fabricated "beings." The essence of metaphysics is to explore beyond the material boundaries of physical being. Metaphysics looks to explore what unifies us as humans since we are distinct as individuals. The human race is composed of people of different sizes, colors, shapes, and so forth. Yet, despite the differentiations, we share a common nature that threads through us all; no ...
Solution Summary
The following considers the metaphysical limitations of machines that could supposedly mimic human functions and emotions.

Brick Veneers
Brick veneers are also known as: old brick feature wall tiles, brick slips, brick tiles
If you're looking to create a natural looking wall without having a full construction project on your hands - we have the products just for you.
Easy to install
All of our brick veneers are single tiles - they're not attached to a panel like some alternatives. But don't let this make you think that it's hard work to install them - it's actually really easy.
We always recommend you use a strong wall tile adhesive to ensure that the veneers stay put on the wall (inside). If you're installing them outside, just make sure the adhesive is suitable for outdoor use (as our tiles are).
As these tiles are slightly heavier than normal ceramic tiles, please make sure the chosen wall is strong enough to support the weight of the finished feature.
9 great colours to choose from
If it's a traditional looking brick wall you're after, the more subtle colours like Beige and Gothic are best suited (Rock is also very popular).
Maybe you want to put a modern twist to the feature wall? Then Graphite and Grey are perfect (White is very popular, especially within kitchens).
Perfectly weatherproof brick veneers
Completely transform the outside of your home with our brick veneers.
Because they're weatherpoof, you're not just limited to creating a feature wall indoors. They're protected from all types of elements, including these:
UV Rays

FE line's new FE20, with Sony's new 2nd gen X-black display (aka XBRITE, some of the nicest laptop displays money can buy), which finally addresses its most typical complaint with an anti-reflective surface layer, and also throws in some extra brightness with a dual lamp backlight; the FJ line's new FJ3 gets a dual layer DVD burner, 1GB DDR2 SDRAM, and a 100GB drive; the SZ series gets the SZ2 with the upgrades are the least exciting, and from what we can tell they'll just have a version with a 2.16GHz T2600 Core Duo chip, which is already available as an upgrade on the Sony Style configurator. Keep an eye out for these in the states sometime in the near future (with different names, of course).

The long, long plane ride from San Francisco to Sydney, Australia produced a jumble of sleep and a half-conscious state of befuddlement and exhaustion.
Flying business class means no lines at the lavatories, an attendant available to provide water (or anything else you may need) anytime, and a suggestion – totally unsolicited – that a Bailey's was just what was needed to induce sleep. The drink proved enjoyable, but I cannot vouch for its effectiveness in producing sleep.
I watched two movies and took another nap. Breakfast was served, the coffee much needed, decent tasting and appreciated.
Landing proceeded smoothly. Suddenly our 15-hour ocean crossing was over. We collected our belongings and shuffled off the plane towards customs. Although lines seemed long, they moved quickly and before we knew it were standing at the baggage carousel awaiting our luggage.
Bags moved up the conveyor belt and fell onto the carousel, travelling around and around until owners pulled them off. We watched and waited. The belt stopped. The carousel kept moving. Our bags never appeared.
That is because our bags were still in San Francisco. A customer service agent worked hard for several minutes feverishly striking a lot of computer keys. She handed us new luggage tags and told us our bags would be on the San Francisco flight leaving 4:00 p.m. Australian time. They would be delivered to our hotel. We received vouchers for $50 a day per person compensation from the airlines.
Hopefully our bags arrive tomorrow. (There is only one flight a day from San Francisco to Sydney.)
But we were finally Down Under, in the Land of Oz, the Southern Hemisphere.
Too exhausted to figure out bus and train routes, we opted for a taxi to the hotel. Fortunately we were able to check in early. A few minutes after 8:00 a.m. we entered our hotel room. Hub immediately collapsed. It would take several hours for him to recover enough to stand up again.
I showered, dressed in my well-worn clothes and, after testing out the Internet service in the lounge (free) and not in the room ($20 a day), went shopping for clean clothes.
Our hotel is ideally located in the heart of Sydney's CBD – downtown business and tourist district. Less than a block away was a pedestrian mall – a brick street with stores on either side at street level, several floors above and a couple of floors below ground. Street performers entertained the crowds. It seemed endless and overwhelming. Apparently Sydneyians love to shop.
It is difficult to find reasonably priced clothes in any big city, and Sydney is a large metropolis. But I persevered and found most of what I needed on sale at Myers, an Australian department store chain. A few items – men's underwear in particular – proved troublesome. No sales and the cheapest pair over $15 Australian/US dollars (the $AU almost equal with the American dollar.).
I returned to the hotel room with our new clothes and immediately changed. I woke hub up and insisted he get out in the fresh air. We walked around and had lunch at an espresso café. Small coffee shops can be found on just about every street in Sydney; little hole-in-the-skyscraper places with a couple of small tables inside and anywhere from one to several outside. Some were strictly takeaway (Australian for take out).
We completed our first walkabout (Aussie for walking around/hiking), getting a feel for this busy, vibrant city, then headed back for naps before dinner. Along the walkabout we found a place with almost reasonably priced men's underwear.
We met my cousin's daughter and her husband for an early dinner. They took us to an 'authentic' Australian pub where the Thursday night dinner special included steak, fresh green beans and roasted potatoes for $15. A bargain anywhere.
After dinner we strolled along the harbor area and got our first glimpse of the famous Sydney Opera House and Harbor Bridge.
We returned to the hotel early, our bodies dragging as they slowly recovered from jet lag, travel exertion and exhaustion.

What a beautiful day today! The sky is blue, the breeze is cooling, the birds are singing and all is well…
No–not really. Just look around you; read the newspaper; watch the television news. There's trouble in "River City" and it starts with "T:" "T" for trials, tribulation, turmoil, tension, and trepidation. Somedays we are so overwhelmed with the struggles of living, we darn near give up. Well, DON'T!
Have you a heart that's weary
Tending a load of care
Are you a soul that's seeking rest
From the burden you bear?
Do you know my Jesus
Do you know my friend
Have you heard he loves you
And that he will abide till the end?
— Instrumental —
Who knows your disappointments
Who hears each time you cry
Who understands your heartaches
Who drys the tears from your eyes.
Do you know my Jesus
Do you know my friend
Have you heard he loves you
And that he will abide till the end?
Have you heard he loves you
And that he will abide till the end?…
~Skeeter Davis
Did you know that Jesus sees your every teardrop? Did you know that Jesus knows your pain? Did you know that Jesus is the best friend you'll ever have?
"Why?" you say.
Because he loves you with a love you've never known. It's a heavenly love. It came down from heaven, and, for over 2,000 years, has spread all over this earth. It comes free of charge, is non-judgmental, is yours for the asking, and you can't out give it ever. It lasts forever too, just like you.
Jesus loves you so much he wanted you to be loved like God created you to be loved. Once you tell him you want his love, he will come into your heart and stay there forever. Each day of your life will be wrapped in his love, protection, joy, and comfort. The world may deal you hardship, but within your spirit is One who can buffer that with such sweet relief. He'll go with you through the valleys and up those mountaintops. He is truly the best friend you'll ever know.
Begin today to know this special person, this superhuman Savior, this wonderful Comforter. Get out your Bible and read about him. Did you know that as you read the Bible, you are being taught by the Holy Spirit? Yes, you are guided and led by the Holy Spirit to the truths that God's Word reveals to anyone that is thirsty and hungry for true love and eternal security.
Ask Jesus to come into your heart.
Seek to know him.
Knock on the door of his heart and he will let you in.
He's really there, waiting for you, ready to love and comfort you. As a little child, open your heart and let him in. Make this the best day of your life.
"Have you heard he loves you…?" Yes, you have.
John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life."

St. Louis Park
St. Louis Park
Saint Louis Park is a city in Hennepin County, Minnesota. The population was 45,250 at the 2010 census It is a first-ring suburb immediately west of Minneapolis. Other adjacent cities include Edina, Golden Valley, Minnetonka, Plymouth, and Hopkins. St. Louis Park gives you great access to the Lakes area of Minneapolis, and also great shopping at West End. The Shops at West End offers a shopping, dining and entertainment experience. With heated indoor parking, as well as ample ramp and street parking you're never far from some of the most unique shops in the Twin Cities. From locally owned boutiques to entertainment to rejuvenation.
St. Louis Park Real Estate
Single Family Homes under $350,000
St. Louis Park is the birthplace or childhood home of movie directors Joel and Ethan Coen, musician Peter Himmelman, New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, Senator Al Franken, songwriter Dan Israel, guitarist Sharon Isbin, writer Pete Hautman, football coach Marc Trestman, and film director Joe Nussbaum. Baseball announcer Halsey Hall also lived there.
History The 1860s village that became St. Louis Park was originally known as Elmwood, which today is a neighborhood inside the city. In August 1886, 31 people signed a petition asking county commissioners to incorporate the Village of St. Louis Park. The petition was officially registered on November 19, 1886.
The name "St. Louis Park" was derived from the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway that ran through the area; the word "Park" was added to avoid confusion with St. Louis, Missouri.
In 1892, lumber baron Thomas Barlow Walker and a group of wealthy Minneapolis industrialists incorporated the Minneapolis Land and Investment Company to focus industrial development in Minneapolis. Walker's company also began developing St. Louis Park for industrial, commercial and residential use.
Generally, development progressed outward from the original village center at the intersection of the Minneapolis and St. Louis Railway with Wooddale Avenue. But Minneapolis soon expanded as far west as France Avenue, and its boundary may have continued to move westward had it not been for St. Louis Park's 1886 incorporation.
By 1893, St. Louis Park's downtown had three hotels, and many newly arrived companies surrounded downtown. Around 1890, the village had more than 600 industrial jobs, mostly associated with agriculture implement manufacturing. The Peavey–Haglin elevator, built 1899–1900, still stands today. The sign painted on it advertises Nordic Ware, the current owner of the structure. The financial panic of 1893 altered developers' plans and put a damper on the village's growth. Walker left St. Louis Park to pursue other business ventures.
In 1899, St. Louis Park became the home to the Peavey–Haglin Experimental Concrete Grain Elevator, the world's first concrete, tubular grain elevator, which provided an alternative to combustible wooden elevators. Despite being nicknamed "Peavey's Folly" and dire predictions that the elevator would burst like a balloon when the grain was drawn off, the experiment worked and concrete elevators have been used ever since.
Suburban boom At the end of World War I, only seven scattered retail stores operated in St. Louis Park because streetcars provided easy access to shopping in Minneapolis. Between 1920 and 1930, the population doubled from 2,281 to 4,710. Vigorous homebuilding occurred in the late 1930s to accommodate the pent-up need created during the Depression. With America's involvement in World War II, however, all development came to a halt.
Explosive growth came after World War II. In 1940, 7,737 people lived in St. Louis Park. By 1955, more than 30,000 new residents had joined them. From 1940 to 1955, growth averaged 6.9 persons moving into St. Louis Park every day. Sixty percent of St. Louis Park's homes were built in a single burst of construction from the late 1940s to the early 1950s.
Residential development was closely followed by commercial developers eager to bring goods and services to these new households. In the late 1940s, Minnesota's first shopping center — the 30,000-square-foot (2,800 m2) Lilac Way — was constructed on the northeast corner of Excelsior Boulevard and Highway 100. (The Lilac Way shopping center was torn down in the late 1980s to make way for redevelopment.) Miracle Mile shopping center, built in 1950, and Knollwood Mall, which opened in 1956, remain open today.
In the late 1940s, a group of 11 former army doctors opened the St. Louis Park Medical Center in a small building on Excelsior Boulevard. The medical center merged with Methodist Hospital and today is Park Nicollet Health Services, part of HealthPartners, the second-largest medical clinic in Minnesota (after Rochester's Mayo Clinic).
During the period between 1950 and 1956, 66 new subdivisions were recorded to make room for 2,700 new homes. In 1953 and 1954, the final two parcels — Kilmer and Shelard Park — were annexed. These parcels (originally in Minnetonka) came to St. Louis Park because it could provide sewer and water service.
From village to city; In 1954, voters approved a home rule charter that gave an overwhelmed St. Louis Park the status of a city. That enabled the city to hire a city manager to assume some of the duties handled by the part-time city council. Several bridges built during that time are now being repaired or destroyed.
Geography According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 10.86 square miles, of which 10.64 square miles is land and 0.22 square miles is water.
Interstate 394, U.S. Highway 169, and Minnesota State Highways 7 and 100 are four of the main routes in Saint Louis Park.
Demographics Population Est. 2015, 48,171. As of the census of 2010, there were 45,250 people, 21,743 households, and 10,459 families residing in the city. The population density was 4,252.8 inhabitants per square mile. There were 23,285 housing units at an average density of 2,188.4 per square mile.
There were 21,743 households of which 22.2% had children under the age of 18 living with them, 35.6% were married couples living together, 9.1% had a female householder with no husband present, 3.4% had a male householder with no wife present, and 51.9% were non-families. 40.1% of all households were made up of individuals and 9.6% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older. The average household size was 2.05 and the average family size was 2.82.
The median age in the city was 35.4 years. 18.5% of residents were under the age of 18; 8.1% were between the ages of 18 and 24; 36.4% were from 25 to 44; 24% were from 45 to 64; and 13% were 65 years of age or older. The gender makeup of the city was 47.8% male and 52.2% female.

This article ran as the Washington Report in the September issue of the ESOP Report. The ESOP Report is the newsletter of The ESOP Association. The ESOP Report newsletter is available to Association members on the website.
People who care about ESOPs, who are members of the Association, who do not wish to take a chance and dismiss, like TV pundits do, talk of 'Congress will never do tax reform' are asking, "What can we do to protect ESOPs and what is the Association doing to protect our ESOP?"
For over 20 years, the answer to the 'what can we do' question has remained the same, and will remain the same — tell your ESOP story directly to an elected official who visits your ESOP company is first and foremost the way to protect your ESOP, and your company.
And what can the Association do revolves around the circle set forth on the left:
In other words, to win for ESOPs, the Association needs members, and needs the number of members to grow. Members are educated by various methods and primarily on how to make their ESOP all it can be, and how to reach as many employee owners as possible. When the company succeeds, because of its success, its performance, its unique ownership culture, then the Association and its members' advocacy work persuading members of Congress to continue a positive policy for ESOP creation and operation is going to succeed.
Fewer members, declining membership means less education on how to create the magic of an ESOP company that has caused elected official after elected official to learn firsthand how positive employee ownership through the ESOP model works. Less education means that the positive impact of an ESOP company dissipates, and macro research on the performance of an ESOP company declines. Fewer magical ESOP companies means fewer high performing ESOP companies as they are not tapping the reservoir of knowledge available at Association meetings and networking. The fewer companies, with not so stellar track records means that the advocacy message becomes less heard, and less impressive.
Sure these big picture messages are supplemented in the challenging times of ESOP cynics trying to denude ESOP tax benefits in the name of a simpler tax code, with lower tax rates. But the Association is not sparing any of its resources in fielding government process experts, who know the nuances of how laws are made — in other words, fielding a team of inside the beltway veterans of legislative campaigns involving tax laws — who provide intelligence that triggers timely, and targeted advocacy messages to key members of Congress by grass roots, high performing ESOP companies.
But never ever think that winning for ESOPs is about how many members the Association has, how many members move their companies to high performance, or how much advocacy messaging is done. Membership without education does not win. Education without advocacy does not win. Advocacy without membership does not win, and the circle of victory can be described back and forth on these three mega traits in as many permutations as can be done with three interconnected elements.
Remember the diagram.

We know that finding the right partner makes everything possible. Today, approximately 50% of Genentech's pipeline and marketed products derive from successful collaborations with companies and institutions from around the world.
Our Partnering team is passionate about creating value for everyone involved – people living with serious diseases, our partners, and the company as a whole.
More than 40 years ago, Genentech was born out of a partnership – a collaboration between our co-founder Herb Boyer and his research colleague, Stanley Cohen, which led to the scientific breakthrough of engineering recombinant human DNA into bacteria. That collaboration laid the foundation for Genentech and the entire biotechnology industry.
Developing partnerships with companies and institutions around the globe that share our passion for advancing science has been one of our key strategies for success. Genentech and Roche combined their operations in 2009, and since then, our research and early development group has continued to embrace the spirit of a start-up, operating as an independent R&D center located in California.

I recently started learning about CW complexes. Although my understanding of them is somewhat nascent, I see that one can deduce a number of useful properties of a space if one can show it is a CW complex. For example, if $X$ is a CW complex, then we can immediately conclude that $X$ is paracompact. While I see the utility of CW complexes, I still do not quite see where the definition of a CW complex comes from. In other words, I don't yet see what motivated the development of CW complexes.
My question is the following:
Are there any sources out there which discuss the historical development of CW complexes and the motivation behind their development?
Note: I am aware that History of Topology by I.M. James contains a chapter entitled "Development of the Concept of a Complex" but I away from my university for the next month and thus do not have access to the book.

Capitalism Happens: Why Unemployment Shouldn't Be a Moral Issue
Last week the government announced the unemployment rate has risen to 9.1 percent, but the nation's problem with unemployment runs a lot deeper than any mere number. Being unemployed is a moral issue in the United States.
Society tends to think if you are unemployed you must have done something wrong. That attitude means Americans have a very fundamental misunderstanding about how capitalism works.
In Sociology: Exploring the Architecture of Everyday Life, David M. Newman writes:
Poverty provides scapegoats for society's institutional problems. The alleged laziness of the jobless poor and the anger aimed at street people and beggars distracts us from the failure of the economic system to adequately address the needs of all citizens.As a result, people don't like talking about being unemployed. If you're out of work, you feel like it's your fault. No matter how angry you may be about it, there is a very deep sense of shame (I speak from experience).
This scapegoating is also evident when we talk about other people not having a job. If someone lost her job, she is treated as having a contagious disease. We try to inoculate ourselves by thinking of all the reasons this can't happen to us: "That industry has been in trouble for a while." "She should have changed jobs when she had a chance." We want to convince ourselves we don't face the same risk factors.
The lies we tell ourselves about unemployment
I read a story recently about hiring managers and what they thought of people who had been laid off in our current economic crunch. There was a general tendency to believe people were laid off on the basis of merit. That the good workers were the ones who still had jobs because managers let the bad performers go first.
This suggests these HR types believe other companies operate on a logical, rational basis that they know isn't the case in their own workplace. If you have any experience with layoffs, regardless of whether you were let go or not, you know they are based on factors that seldom have anything to do with individual performance.
The business of journalism being what it is, I have become something of an expert on layoffs. In one instance a magazine I was working on was shut down even though we were exceeding all expectations. Another magazine owned by the company had screwed up so badly the company had to cut a lot of expenses fast. So the newest publication was shut down. Boom: Out on the street.
Another time, I had to lay off people who I knew were good at their jobs. I've been through four or five layoffs (on one side or the other). That's enough that I no longer think being laid off is a reflection of my worth as a human being. Indeed, at one company where I was laid off, I actually consoled my boss because he was taking the whole thing so personally. I knew it was just numbers.
Unemployment as a moral judgment
With one notable exception, America seems to have viewed unemployment as a moral judgment for much of its history. (I blame the Puritans. Why not?) That exception came 82 years ago. During the Great Depression people came to understand that unemployment is just something that happens. Companies great and terrible went out of business for reasons that had nothing to do with the quality of product or management.
For a while, many Americans stopped thinking capitalism was a fair system, rewarding the hardworking and punishing the indolent. In that interlude a guy with no money wasn't a bum but just another person who got caught in the whirlwind. Not everyone felt that way, but more did than didn't. (See Studs Terkel's Hard Times: An Oral History of The Great Depression for details.)
But then came the war, the post-war boom, the '60s, etc., etc., and we forgot. We returned to thinking rich people were smarter and better than the non-rich. And while we all know people who got to where they are through the sweat of their brow, we all also know people who got there by gaming the system and others who didn't get squat despite working as hard or harder as anyone else.
Not a crime to be poor....
There is an old joke that goes, "It's not illegal to be poor in the U.S., but it might as well be." As a society we do not treat the poor well, to put it mildly. Some places require urine tests for welfare recipients, some require people on welfare or unemployment to go to special classes to learn parenting skills or how to behave in the workplace.
Then we wonder why "these people" have no self-respect. From what we now know of Lehman Brothers et al., don't you think society would have better served by requiring bankers to get drug tests and maybe some education about morality?
I have had educated people tell me homeless people live "that way" because it's easier than getting a job. I think of that every time I see someone pushing a shopping cart of cans and bottles up a street in order to get a nickel for each one. I think of it every time I give someone a few bucks. It reminds me to look them in the eye and ask how he or she is doing. Begging for money has got to suck. It causes most people to stop thinking of you as a person. Either you are a nuisance or something to get away from as fast as possible.
One of the reasons for the Great Recession was forgetting about the Great Depression, what caused it and what happened after. (Google the Glass-Steagal Act and see what you find out.) Probably the biggest thing we forgot is that the invisible hand of the market place distributes goods and services, not justice.
Capitalism happens.

This phrase is from a metaphor where the mustard is something that adds flavor or zest to life, something that is good. Something that cuts the mustard is very good.
The phrase dates at least 1898. From the Decator, Illinois Herald Despatch of 6 April of that year:
John J. Graves, tight but that ha cun't cut the mustard.
Mustard has a long history of being used as a metaphor for something powerful or biting. First in a negative context, as in John Heywood's A Dialogue Conteinyng the Nomber in Effect of All the Prouerbes in the Englishe Tongue (1546):
Where her woordes seemd hony,...Now are they mustard.
And somewhat later in a positive sense. From James Howell's Lexicon Tetraglotton (1659):
As strong as Mustard.
The origin of the cut portion of the phrase is uncertain. It could be a reference to cutting a mustard seed, a very difficult task. Or it could be a conflation with a cut above, to cut the mustard is to be better than mustard.
The phrase is also rendered as to be the mustard and it's very similar to keen as mustard.
Various explanations that it is a corruption of a military phrase to cut muster or that mustard is a difficult crop to harvest have no evidence to support them.

Quilting the big quilt
My quilting station is organised. The quilt is so huge that I am using all of our dining table and the sofa in front of it to drape the thing over and keep it as flat as possible.
I have started in the middle and shoved half of the quilt under the arm of the sewing machine so that I can smooth out any lumps and bumps towards the edges as I go along.
My thread spool is too big to be held tightly on the machine, so I have put it in a cup which is just about as wide as the bottom of the spool. I just rested it on top of the machine and amazingly it stays where it is while I am sewing.
I have a pot to hand to stash the safety pins in as I take them out when I have quilted a section of the quilt and also my trusty rubber gloves with the fingertips cut off to help me glide the quilt smoothly as I free-motion quilt.
I'm all ready to go!
Quilting again
Hurrah! Posh new sewing machine has arrived and I can get on with quilting my first quilt.
Here's a practice piece before I start on the real thing. It's a tiny dolly's quilt that I made for my son.
Notice the low-tech quilting glove solution to help me glide the quilt around as I free-motion quilt.
I'm going to be brave…
I have just quilted this practice piece in a sort of loopy pattern with a couple of points to get back to where I needed to.
The tension was right, so the back looks just the same as the front. I wore washing up gloves, which made it easier to keep the action smooth.
Wish me luck as I take the plunge and start on the real quilt!
Final preparations for quilting
Here's an insight into the jobs I have done in the days between finishing my patchwork quilt top and getting to the point at which I can start quilting.
Turn nine metres of blue vintagey floral fabric into a 2.6 metre square for the back of my quilt.
I did this fairly quickly, not worrying too much about perfect right angles or cutting selveges off. To me, this was one of the most tedious jobs of the whole project. However, I saved time by not caring about seam allowances for once.
Sewing long lines of straight stitches is not what I started a quilt for.
Lay backing fabric on floor (wrong side down) after pressing seams.
You can see that even by moving a sofa and turning a TV unit around, I could not fit the whole thing so that it lay completely flat with space to move around it in my sitting room.
I did consider doing this job in my classroom, as there is nobody at work in the summer except caretakers and seagulls. In the end I decided I would pretend I had enough space at home, even if half of the quilt was on carpet (not ideal for basting with safety pins) and half on the wooden floor (much better for basting).
Lie batting on top of the backing fabric, then quilt top on top to make a 'quilt sandwich'. Pat it down to make sure it is all flat and then baste it with safety pins.
I thought this part was going to take me a really long time and used my son's (precious) one day of the week at nursery to do this. Actually it only took two hours. I worked from the centre to make sure I could smooth any ripples out as I went along.
Check that the basted quilt fits under the arm of my machine.
It does.
Check that the darning foot my husband chiselled so that it would attach to my machine actually works on my machine.
It doesn't.
Look at that enormous space between the foot and the fabric. The needle will bounce up and down uncontrollably and the stitches will be all over the place and non-uniform.
This is a bad thing.
Swap to the very small machine lent to me by a kind friend and check that the quilt also fits under that arm.
It does, much to my surprise! Hooray!
This is a far better machine than mine and should make the quilting entirely hassle-free once I have read the 90-page manual to teach myself how to use it…
Watch lots of quilting tutorial videos and practise different patterns.
Here you can see my frankly laughable first attempts at stipple, pointed stipple, paisley and repeating shells.
I felt I was getting the hang of it as I filled up the last section of my practice quilt sandwich, and was silently congratulating myself on having chosen the right upper thread tension and needle (after snapping three. Yes, three.) to match the thread, when I turned it over and found…
I am utterly confused.
When the upper thread tension was really high (7) the stitches on the back were perfect, but the needles snapped. When the tension was really low (2), the quilting action was smoother and my wrists ached less, but this happened to the thread.
Go to see the experts and look at lots of their perfect quilts.
I went to my first Quilters' Guild event today and the guru there told me to keep the tension low. She checked that I was using the right needles and thread. She gave me lots of confidence about using the stipple pattern and told me how large to scale it and how to practically fit such a big quilt onto a table and around the side of my sewing machine. She invited me along to monthly meetings. She laughed at my little boy's burblings.
I felt I was high and dry and all I needed was to get home, switch on the fancy new machine and start stippling.
Mope around a little longer with an unfinished quilt.
Sadly, the title of this post turns out to be incorrect. I am going to have to make my final final preparations for quilting after even more practice quilt sandwiches.
Admit to everyone that the members of my family are all obsessed by little squares.
My poor two year-old. I have damaged him by taking him along to a Quilters' Guild event. When we got home, he arranged his blocks in his block cart and said, "this is my quilt".
My husband's artwork uses small, colourful squares with lines of poetry on them that can be rearranged by the reader/viewer to create their own poems.
My quilt is is made of hundreds of little squares.
What is to become of us?
Jim jams to match my quilt
I ordered far too much fabric for the quilt back and found that even after I had stitched a 2.6 metre square of it together, I had enough left over to make a pair of pyjama bottoms for myself. I am looking forward to co-ordinating with my patchwork quilt top and also to being able to lie, entirely undetected, on the quilt back.
Some might say that faffing around with floral pyjamas is a waste of time when I have a quilt to, erm, quilt.
I would generally agree.
However, I am having rather a frustrating time getting myself organised for the quilting and have been unable to properly kit my sewing machine out with the correct darning foot. So, while waiting for things to arrive and having basted the quilt top to the batting and quilt back in only a couple of hours after expecting it to take all day, I found I had quite enough time to make a cheeky pair of PJs.
Almost ready to quilt…
All I need now is my 9 metres of backing fabric to arrive, a friend with a really big wooden floor (check) and hundreds of safety pins (check).
Every baby needs a patchwork tortoise
While taking time out from my quilt for making those tremendously tricky decisions mentioned in my last post and finishing off the academic year, one of my greatest friends had a baby. This, of course, meant that I was compelled to make a present or two for the little one. Here's the first:
And here's the second:
Because every baby needs a patchwork tortoise and matching, personalised bunting.
I'll get back to my quilt soon, as soon as my summer holidays start. I know you're all waiting with bated breath for quilting news.
Look what fell out of my quilt
When I pinned all of the patches around the quilt ready to sew as the border, I found I had a gaping hole. This was intensely annoying as I had counted and recounted and then counted again all of the patches as I was making them. I KNEW I hadn't made a mistake. But, as quilting is basically all about counting and ironing, and I am not much good at either, I accepted that I would have to cobble together a replacement patch from my poorly cut leftovers. Then this fell out of the thing while I was sewing the border on.
Perhaps I should use it in my next quilt. Or even build another quilt around it. Maybe I should leave a patch from every quilt I make in future to carry on to the next one, sort of like a quilt version of a chain letter.
Anyway, enough of this procrastinating. I have decisions to make:
1. What shall I use as the batting for the quilt – big, fluffy polyester or thin, dense, warm (expensive) cotton?
2. Am I going to quilt it by hand or by machine? There's no way polyester would fit under the arm of the machine, and I'm not convinced that even cotton will be easy enough to move around. I need to have a practice at quilting something a bit smaller before I let myself loose on this quilt as I have never done anything like this before and I'm not sure how tricky it's going to be to sew straight or loopy free-hand lines on something so big. I don't even have the right feet for my machine yet, although I do have an excellent, Textiles-teaching friend who can source them for me and hopefully show me what to do with them. I like the look of hand-quilting and I am ready with a huge embroidery hoop, but I don't want it take months.
3. Depending on my choice of quilting style, I will need to baste the batting and the quilt back to the quilt top with safety pins or a needle and thread. Both methods are likely to take hours and I have nowhere at home to lay the quilt out for long as it's a small place with a small boy running around it.
4. What fabric am I going to use for the back and the border? I can't decide whether I want to emphasise the bright reds of the quilt or give it a really dark border. I think I need to take the quilt top with me to a fabric shop (and a couple of friends) to hold it up against different options.
These are my conundrums. I enjoy having them. I'll let them fester for a while. But now I'm going to take a day off quilting and watch Andy Murray play his big match. Bet he doesn't give a monkeys about quilting.

Good and Bad Fat
Certain kinds of fat in our diet are essential to good health. And eating the proper type of fat can help our vision too.
The "good" fats are called essential fatty acids (EFAs), and they are necessary in our diet because our body can't produce them on its own. To remain healthy we must get them from the food we eat.
Trans fatty acids and saturated fat are considered "bad" fats. Trans fats are created when liquid oils are turned into solid fats, like shortening and margarine, through a process of emulsification. Saturated fat occurs naturally in meats, dairy products and tropical oils, such as palm and coconut oil. Unfortunately, saturated and trans fats are found in many popular fast food options like baked goods, potato chips, hamburgers, tacos and pizza. Evidence shows the "bad" fats are responsible for raising our cholesterol and making us more susceptible to chronic inflammation.
Two types of EFAs are omega-3 fatty acids (which occur in foods like cold-water fish and flaxseed) and omega-6 fatty acids (found in meat, dairy, eggs, baked goods, cereals, nuts and most vegetable oils). Both are important for good health; however, our Western diet typified by the consumption of large quantities of meat and processed foods, contains a very large amount of omega-6 fatty acids – not to mention all of the saturated and trans fats that come with these foods. The problem with the "good" fats that we eat, therefore, lies in the ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids.

The film unit of Duvvada Jagannadham thanked the audiences at an event yesterday night in Hyderabad. The makers are happy for the response and the collections. Talking about the film and the response they are getting, the actor Allu Arjun and director Harish Shankar reacted in style by bashing out at the negativity around the film.
Allu Arjun said, "The negativity is nothing before me as my positivity supersedes all. I always believe in the work I do and I make sure that I and my films are unaffected by these negative reviews. I get the satisfaction from the love and affection that my fans show me which is enough."
Director Harish Shankar said, "Because of my Attitude, Gabbar Singh happened but it is not because of Gabbar Singh I have attitude. There are a few critics who don't analyse the good and bad of the film but instead write about the attitude of the director. But finally, it is the revenues that matter but not the reviews."

Varicose veins basically are enhancement of veins. Varicose veins are called spider veins. These varicose veins obtain their name from the Latin source of the term called vary meaning complicated. Yes complicated they are because they have significantly more body inside them than required. The varicose veins usually arise due to some genetic problems or due to the fragile veins. There are certainly a number of medical and non-surgical treatments designed for the varicose veins. These varicose veins could be treated creating needed to shop more body than them and push that in to the heart. If they are taking long flights, those who have varicose veins must be especially careful. The reason behind this is not very difficult to comprehend that means because of gravity the body will begin to collect within the lower part of the base and the knee and whilst the long routes mean resting in a crowded room for very long time.
Usually the non-surgical treatments would be the compression socks which use graduated force for your leg. How they work is the fact that you can purchase the clothes on the basis of the quantity of stress you wish to use to the feet. Having said that you can purchase these from specific producers in the place of normal makes but yes you will get these from many online stores. The insurance providers may cover these non-surgical treatments expenses. When they may protect the expense of perhaps things like the compression stockings, you might need to test along with your insurance providers. Insurance providers can usually protect the price of treatment of those bleeding veins. Click to read more symvoulesygeias.com and gain ideas.
Another non-surgical therapy for those varicose veins is closing off the circulation towards the vein. A process called can do that. Sclerotherapy implies that you provide a substance called the sclerosing agent in to the vein that will cause the body to be ended type entering the vein. It is an easy treatment-which can be achieved within the physician's office and there is no requirement for a surgery for this. You will find additional remedies that are just of the medical selection and the insurance providers may not usually cover these. You certainly have to check in the event you want to get yourself treated for varicose veins with your insurance company.
