On October 2, 2014, Jack Porter submitted documentation to the Plan and Zoning Commission to designate the former Downtown YMCA building as a local landmark. City staff recommended denial of the application. The Plan and Zoning Commission voted accordingly.
The City staff recommendation was a disappointing demonstration in historic preservation understanding. While claiming to strike a "balance," they built up a straw man conflict between historic preservation and economic development - and then proceeded to demolish it. All without honestly responding to the question at hand: is the Riverfront YMCA building architecturally and historically significant?
Staff recommends that the "Riverfront YMCA" building at 101 Locust Street not be designated as a local Landmark.
Sure, why is that?
While the building may be eligible for designation, staff believes that the site is the most important feature in light of numerous plans and implementation activities.
Translation: "We've had conversations with people who have lots of money and want a vacant piece of riverfront property. So, even though the building meets the requirements for historical and architectural significance, we're going to go ahead and go with the money."
The overall interest of the City is to insure that development of the site is maximized from an economic and aesthetic standpoint regardless of whether the building is saved or demolished.
Translation: "We don't really know yet what will go in place of the historic building, and honestly don't really care, but we'll just keep going with the money for now. You've heard the saying, 'A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush,' right?"
I've said it before and I'll say it again: This building was built to last hundreds of years. Demolition is a failure of imagination, not of the building itself. I would love to see a creative solution that combines floors to make multi-story units, breaks the facade in a sensitive way to modernize the appearance and add space, and/or finds a compatible use within the existing structure.
There are other examples of YMCA buildings in Des Moines and better examples of Modernist era architecture in Des Moines, such as Scott Chapel (1955) and the dormitories (1957) at Drake University by master architects Eero and Eliel Saarinen.
Even if this were correct (it's not), it still wouldn't mean that the Riverfront YMCA building isn't worth preserving. It's a red herring - perhaps City staff believe that there are a finite number of slots for architecturally significant modernist buildings in Des Moines... and that number is two. Come to think of it, there are better examples of modernist architecture in Europe, why save any of it in the US at all?
Much work has been done to preserve the Civic Center National Register Historic District buildings, such as the World Food Prize Center (local landmark), the Municipal Building and the Police Station. The City has encouraged preservation via the Civic Center Historic District and economic development via the construction of the River Walk.
Again, so what? Have all of the slots for historic preservation have been used up? The question at hand is this: Is the building significant architecturally and/or historically? If so, then it should have additional consideration.
At which point we get to the real "justification" for the staff recommendation.
A continued balance between preservation and redevelopment on the riverfront
is necessary for the River Walk to achieve its potential.
The fundamental error in this statement is the assumption of "balance". Historic preservation is not a "balance" argument at all - as in, "We kept this old building so you get to tear down that one". Historic preservation in urban environments depends on context. The more context that disappears, the less valuable any individual historic building becomes.
Perhaps a new building on the site of the Y will be beautiful and generate lots of tax revenue! The again, it could be a dud. Who knows? One could make exactly the same argument regarding redevelopment of an existing historic structure. There is absolutely nothing preventing full redevelopment of the historic Y with a better relationship to the Riverwalk. We will likely never know.
CJ Stephens made a motion to approve the applicant's request to designate the "Riverfront YMCA" building located at 101 Locust Street as a Local Landmark.
The vote was recorded as 3-8 against, with CJ Stephens, Dann Flaherty and Will Page voting in favor. Greg Jones, John "Jack" Hilmes, Dory Briles, Jann Freed, Christine Pardee, Greg Wattier, Vicki Stogdill, and Tim Fitzgerald voted in opposition.

Quote:And don't fret about that one-year contract. He's still very much under Royals control. He'll hit arbitration this offseason.As for a long-term deal...I'm not sure it's a good idea. Butler's a very good hitter. But he adds little defensive value, and he's not so awesome a hitter to deserve free agent first base money. Your Morneau/Teixeira/Howard sort of money. And the Royals have a lot of prospects coming along who might need that position.

Waterford star Wayne Hutchinson looks set to miss the Munster Hurling Final after breaking a bone in his hand. The injury is expected to take up to six weeks to recover.
Hutchinson injured his hand in Ballygunner's Waterford Championship win over Passage last weekend and X-rays later showed that he had broken the bone. He has now been ruled out Davy Fitzgerald's plans for the provincial decider against Tipperary on Sunday, July 10.
The defender only made his Championship debut in the semi-final against Limerick, where he started at full-back.

Sharpen Your Focus for Consistent Trading and Investing Results
Online Trading Academy
2014-05-21 13:07:19
The goal for most traders is consistent profits, life-long income from speculating in markets. The key word in that sentence is "consistent." Anyone can have profitable trades here and there, but do they produce consistent income and profits from trading? I have a friend who day trades the S&P E-mini and has a very strong winning percentage, but the problem is that he doesn't make consistent income from trading. Sounds crazy, I know, but one loss for him tends to wipe out all the profits (I hope he doesn't read this article).
In the Extended Learning Track (XLT, our Live Trading Rooms), one of the "Odds Enhancers" Online Trading Academy focuses on for every short-term and long-term trading opportunity is the Profit Zone. Without a path for price to move after you enter a position on the chart, you have no trading opportunity. What I look for are supply and demand levels with very little activity between them. There are many supply and demand levels on a chart. Often, there is a very quality supply and demand level on a chart, but if they are too close to each other or there is too much trading activity between them, there is no trade. Typically, I look for opportunities on the chart that offer at least a 3:1 reward to risk to the first target. Often, I looking for more, but this is a safe minimum to make a trade acceptable to take.
DAX Futures Income Trade: May 13, 2014
At this point, you're probably wondering what any of this has to do with the title of the article. Let me explain through a trade I took that my class found in the Extended Learning Track (XLT). This was a trade in the DAX Futures. Notice the supply level on the chart shaded in yellow. The supply level is the origin of a strong decline in price and has with it some very key Odds Enhancers that make it a significant level where banks and institutions are likely selling, where supply greatly exceeds demand. The trade was to bet on a downside move, selling short at the supply level to a novice buyer for a potential move down in price. What made this trade work well are two specific odds enhancers. First was the quality supply level. Second, notice the rally that brought price up to the supply level where I sold short. It was a fast rally, people started buying in a hurry, and price shot up quickly. Notice specifically the two green candles prior to price reaching the supply level. There is no picture of demand in that rally. This means that when price reached the supply level where we sold short, price was likely to fall just as fast as it rallied because there was no significant demand to stop it from falling (no buy orders). Furthermore, you can really anticipate that this is likely to happen when looking at the entire blue shaded area. In this area, notice price moves quick and freely. This is because it's a price range with no significant buy or sell orders in it. When you have a supply or demand zone around areas like this, that means opportunity for price to turn and price to move. The more you can sharpen your focus on these two key odds enhancers, the better your trading results. Let's go over them so that you also can start seeing this picture of opportunity:
Quality Supply and Demand Levels:
To identify market turning points and market moves in advance with a high degree of accuracy, you need to be able to know where institutions and banks are buying and selling in the markets. To accomplish this, you must be able to quantify real supply and demand in a market and most importantly, see this on a price chart. For this, a solid understanding of the Odds Enhancers is key.
A Clear Profit Zone:
Just as it is important to identify strong supply and demand levels on a chart, it is equally important to be able to identify areas on the price chart where there is very little supply or demand. These are the areas where price will move quickly through the blue shaded area on the chart.
Everything you need to see is on the price charts, if you know what you're looking for. If you have been schooled in the theories of conventional technical analysis, you may be blinded by illusions of chart patterns that have you entering markets late, after market moves are well underway. Have no fear, there is a cure. Remove everything from your charts but price and price alone. Next, read some of my articles to begin to learn how to identify real demand and supply on price charts. At the end of the day, all that matters are two simple questions: Where is price going to turn, and where is price going to go? Sharpen your focus to the two odds enhancers that answer that question and your trading and investing life might just change for the better. My hope is that today's little nugget of information helps you achieve the consistency you're looking for.

At long last, the top ten list. Everyone else has already put up their lists, and for the most part we've all moved on to what 2016 has to offer us. But with the Oscars only a week away, and myself actually having some time, now's the perfect time to put this list up. Please note that I finalized this list in mid-January based only on the 2015 films that I had seen up until that point, therefore several films that could have easily made the list are not present here. I shouldn't have to note this, but these is also my personal favorites, not some objective ranking of the best films of the year.
And the top 10 films of 2015 are...
10. Tangerine (dir. Sean Baker)
By now, you've likely heard about this film's gimmick: the entire film was shot on a few iPhones and stars two nonprofessional trans* actors. That alone is a nice piece of trivia, but the film is much more than that. A truly independent production, the film is a raucous, campy, and blustering comedy of friends Sin-Dee (Kitana Kiki Rodriguez) and Alexandra (Mya Taylor) roaming the streets of Los Angeles to find Sin-Dee's cheating boyfriend (James Ransone). From one scene to the next, the energy never lags, thanks to Baker's sun-drenched visuals and standout performances from Rodriguez and Taylor. Tangerine seems destined for a place in the queer and independent film canons.
9. Sicario (dir. Denis Villeneuve)
No American film has ever depicted the cartel wars of the United States-Mexican border quite like Sicario. FBI agent Kate Macer (Emily Blunt) and her partner Reggie (Daniel Kaluuya) are recruited to join a special task force to investigate cartel movements along the border. However, it slowly becomes evident that the unit, led by Matt (Josh Brolin) and Alejandro (Benicio Del Toro), is not exactly what it proclaims to be. Roger Deakins' astonishing cinematography and Villeneuve's tense direction displace the film in a realm of ambiguity. What's not ambiguous, though, is this film's masterful production, with Blunt, Brolin, and Del Toro delivering some of the best performances of their careers and Jóhann Jóhannsson composing one of the year's most haunting scores. More than anything, though, the film is a powerful examination of "the land of wolves" without any easy solutions.
8. Ricki and the Flash (dir. Johnathan Demme)
Demme doesn't get enough credit as a filmmaker. He works mostly as a documentarian, yes, particularly music docs, and his most well-known films have been thrillers such as The Silence of the Lambs (for which he won an Oscar) and The Manchurian Candidate (the 2004 remake). But his narrative films spring to life because he trusts his actors with the material. Take Ricki and the Flash, for example. While most of the marketing focused on Ricki (Meryl Streep) the would-be rock star, the film is, at heart, about a dysfunctional family not exactly trying to put itself back together. That's not a sexy premise, certainly not in a film culture that values flash and cleverness over low-key and straightforward. But this film is an absolute marvel, hinging on Ricki's (in)ability to see beyond herself and her dream - a tension that drives the film in unexpected ways. With a terrific cast and solid musical performances, the film is a triumph of old-fashioned filmmaking done right.
Numbers 7-1 after the jump.

The Entertainment Junkie's Top 10 Films of 2015
Posted by Jason H. at 5:48 PM 1 comment:
Labels: 2015 in Review, Alex Garland, Denis Villeneuve, George Miller, James Ponsoldt, Jonathan Demme, Olivier Assayas, Pete Docter, Ronit Elkabetz, Ronnie Del Carmen, Sean Baker, Tom McCarthy, Top 10 List
The 6th Annual Jarmo Awards
After a bit more of a recess than I expected, it's finally time for the 6th Annual Jarmo Awards! The Jarmos are my personal film awards, selected solely by me, based only on what I had seen from the eligibility year (2015) before I made these decisions. I picked out my winners shortly before the Oscar nominations were announced, and with the ceremony only a week away, now's the perfect time to present them!
Winners, as always, you are free to pick up your awards whenever it is convenient for you. There's bound to be a trophy place somewhere in Boston, so I'll be sure to have something ready for you.
And the winners are...
Winners, as always, you are free to pick up your awards whenever it is convenient for you. There's bound to be a trophy place somewhere in Boston, so I'll be sure to have something ready for you.
And the winners are...
Ronit Elkabetz, Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem
Runner-up: (tie) Kitana Kiki Rodriguez and Mya Taylor, Tangerine
Finalists: Emily Blunt, Sicario; Meryl Streep, Ricki and the Flash; Charlize Theron, Mad Max: Fury Road
Elkabetz is already regarded as one of Israel's finest actors, having won numerous awards in her home country and making a lasting impression on the international scene in films such as Late Marriage (2001) and The Band's Visit (2007). Her performance in Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem should win her even more acclaim. As Viviane, Elkabetz runs the gamut of emotions over the course of her divorce trial, but also subtly evolves the character from conservatively-dressed and oppressed toward liberation and agency. That she does so mostly with glances and half-spoken statements only makes her performance all the more accomplished. Her work is a towering achievement that demands to be seen.
(tie) Jesse Eisenberg and Jason Segel, The End of the Tour
Runner-up: Shameik Moore, Dope
Finalists: Abraham Attah, Beasts of No Nation; Tom Hardy, Mad Max: Fury Road; Mattias Schoenarts, Far from the Madding Crowd
It's impossible to truly separate Eisenberg's and Segel's performances without disrupting what makes them both work so well. As journalist David Lipsky, Eisenberg's drive and curiosity - as well as his willingness to push and misread cues - come across as arrogant and off-putting. Similarly, as author David Foster Wallace, Segel's fluctuations between aw-shucks genteel and prickly withdrawal make him difficult, if still captivating (Segel's never been better). But together, the actors push and pull at each other, making those aforementioned tendencies establish the dynamics of their relationship without unbalancing them. This is a masterful duet that reflects the intelligence and insecurities of both men, and the film needs both of their voices in harmony to work as well as it does. And what magnificent music Eisenberg and Segel make together.
The rest of the winners of cinema's most prestigious awards (that are presented by The Entertainment Junkie) after the jump.

THUNDERHORSEwrote a review of CamelBak Podium Big Chill Water Bottle - 25oz on August 10, 2012
A slightly colder podium?
Same bottle as the regular podium, slightly softer to handle, and keeps liquids marginally colder (Is that worth the price?).
BUT, there are softer *cough* (Specialized Purist) and the nozzle is a nuisance to clean when used with anything other than water, thus reducing the life of the bottle and possible growth spots for mold and funk.

A large percentage of the breast cancers seen today were caused by medical X-rays prescribed decades ago before the long-term effects of radiation were recognized, says a Berkeley expert on radiation effects.
John Gofman, professor emeritus of molecular and cell biology, estimates that at least two-thirds--and probably 75 percent or more--of the 182,000 cases of breast cancer diagnosed each year are due to X-rays received up to 60 years ago for a variety of medical conditions.
Breast cancer today is the most common cancer in women, with one in eight women expected to develop breast cancer in their lifetimes. While often curable in its early stages, it remains the number one cause of cancer death in women aged 20 to 54 years.
"The good news is that a great deal of breast cancer is preventable," Gofman says. "You don't have to buy my estimate of 75 percent--what's important is that my study alerts the medical profession and the public that ionizing radiation may be an important or the dominant cause of breast cancer."
Gofman reached his conclusions after spending more than six months delving into the medical literature on past use of X-rays, concentrating on articles published between 1920 and the 1970s. What he discovered was an era when overzealous doctors X-rayed patients for a broad range of benign ailments, not suspecting it might have consequences decades later.
Most of the uses have fallen from favor, such as routine X-rays during pediatric well-baby exams, X-rays to diagnose and treat enlarged thymus glands, standard X-ray exams of pregnant women to assess whether they can safely deliver vaginally and X-rays to monitor the course of lung collapse therapy for tuberculosis.
But through the 1940s X-rays were commonly used for these and other reasons, with dosages often 50 to 100 times those used today. Even as recently as the 1960s mammograms to detect breast cancer sometimes delivered more than 100 times the maximum allowed radiation dose today.
As a result, adults and many children received repeated doses of ionizing radiation that today would be considered hazardous.
"Though medical X-rays now deliver much lower doses, doctors and patients should not be complacent," Gofman says. Many medical procedures today are monitored with fluoroscopes that deliver small X-ray doses but are left on for a long period of time. Children and adults in intensive care units can receive numerous X-rays over the course of their treatment and even accident victims are X-rayed repeatedly to provide evidence for insurance.
Each X-ray delivers a cumulative dose of ionizing radiation that over a lifetime could increase breast cancer and other cancers, he warns.
"I'm not saying don't do X-rays," Gofman says. "But doctors should think about it as they do a procedure and ask, do I really need to leave that fluoroscope on?"
Gofman published the results of his research this month in a new book "Preventing Breast Cancer: The Story of a Major, Proven, Preventable Cause of this Disease" (Committee for Nuclear Responsibility, Inc., 1995).
Gofman has argued for years that even low levels of radiation can cause cancer, a view that conflicts with the more widely held hypothesis that there is a certain threshold below which radiation is safe.
The conclusions of his new study, however, come from an analysis of moderate to high radiation exposure, he points out. Some routine X-ray treatments 50 years ago delivered up to 400 rads of radiation. By
contrast, today's chest X-rays deliver about 15 thousandths of one rad, while the average yearly dose from natural sources of radiation is one tenth of a rad.
"For the future it's a big issue whether low doses count," Gofman says. "I think one of the most important things medicine can do to prevent breast cancer is work out X-ray procedures that deliver even lower doses."

Acacia concinna herb Shikakai pods use in medicine
February 1 2017
Benefits and review
The beneficial substances in Acacia concinna are extracted from the pods of the shrub. Acacia Concinna grows in abundance in the hot, dry climates of Central Asia and the Far East. The pods of this plant are rich in saponins which are foam forming substances. Acacia concinna is known in Ayurvedic medicine as Shikakai.
J Nat Prod. 2000. Kinmoonosides A-C, three new cytotoxic saponins from the fruits of Acacia concinna, a medicinal plant collected in myanmar. Kinmoonosides A-C showed significant cytotoxicity against human HT-1080 fibrosarcoma cells.
Acacia concinna for hair
The fruit pods, leaves and bark of Acacia Concinna are dried, powdered and made into a paste at home. While this paste does not produce the normal amount of lather that a regular shampoo would, it is a good cleanser.
Vaccine and immune system
Immunological adjuvant activities of saponin extracts from the pods of Acacia concinna.
Int Immunopharmacol. 2006. Kukhetpitakwong R, Hahnvajanawong C, Homchampa P, Leelavatcharamas V, Satra J, Khunkitti W. Department of Pharmaceutical Technology, Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Khon Kaen University, Khon Kaen, Thailand.
Pods of Acacia concinna contain several saponins. In this study, four saponin fractions which were acetone fraction, aqueous fraction, hydromethanolic fraction and methanolic fraction (MAC) were generated and their haemolytic activities and surface activities were determined in comparison with quillaja saponin. In conclusion, the results indicated that MAC at a dose of 40 microg could be used as vaccine adjuvant to increase immune responses.
Constituents and chemicals, substances
Pods of Acacia concinna contain several saponins including kinmoonosides A-C, triterpenoidal prosapogenols named concinnosides A, B, C, D, and E, together with four glycosides, acaciaside, julibroside A1, julibroside A3, albiziasaponin C, and their aglycone, acacic acid lactone. Their interaction with 5htp dietary supplement along with their benefit side effects and dosage need further exploration.

Good to know
The legend says that the city's name comes from Bucur (joy).
First time you can find a sign of the city in 1459 in an edict signed by Vlad Tepes (Dracula).
The best months to visit Bucharest: May, June, September and October.
City full of contrasts
Bucharest is a bridge between East and West. You will see that city is developing but not yet fully recovered from the trauma of the dictatorship. Restorers and builders have refurbished some of the old palaces and redrew streets, developers have built new glass buildings, but many things remain to be done.
The major attractions
I like to walk so for me it was the best option to see and feel the city by walking on foot. Maybe this is not the fastest solution but very convenient to meet some locals.
Palace of Parliament
This if for sure the biggest attraction of Bucharest. Many tourists start their trip from there. You can easily see this building from every corner of the city and with a reason it is a second largest building (after Pentagon) on the world.
Unirii Boulevard
After the terrible earthquake from 1977 Ceausescu wanted to reconstruct Bucharest and take down the famous Champs-Elysees from Paris by building Unirii Boulevard.
Unirii Square
Don't think this place has something to do with unification- It's only a name!
Palace of Justice
It's not necessary to go inside the building because the outside look will give you a beautiful image.
Princely Court Church
The church was built from interchangeable rock with bricks in byzantine style. You can't miss it by going to the city center.
The old Princely Court Museum
The ruins of the old court definitely are worth a visit. It is a place with a historical significance.
Historical center
You can find here everything what you need: good restaurants, historical buildings, clubs, bars, theaters, cinemas and stores. If you like a good quality food take a look in THIS restaurant.
National Bank of Romania
That's an imposing building with an eclectic academic style. You can find there a great collection of national coins.
Stavropoleos Monastery
Some Greek monks built the Church in the 17th century in brancovenesc style.
CEC Palace
The designer was inspired by French architecture borrowing specific elements. It is a first bank where Romanian people could borrow money.
Revolution Square
Important pages were written in this square. Romania was the only country from Eastern Europe that moved to democracy within a violent revolution and in which the communist leaders were executed.
Royal Palace
Not sure if you are aware that Romania was a monarchy in the past. Today in this palace you can find the Museum of Romanian art.
Romanian Athenaeum
This is second symbol of Bucharest and surely it is a architecture gem. There were held unforgettable concerts of famous musicians.
Contacuzino Palace
It is one of the most beautiful building of Bucharest in Art Nouveau style with a luxurious entrance shaded by a giant dome.
My opinion
Bucharest in underestimated destination with a lot of potential. In my opinion it is a perfect city for a short visit. You will find many quality deals, good food, cheap HOTEL's. If you go there in late spring, early summer the ideal weather is guaranteed. Don't listen to skeptical people and just go to spend memorable time.

A group of archeologists from Lincoln, Nebraska will be in Fort Smith next week performing exploratory digs.
Tuesday's dig (July 16) is to make sure a proposed sidewalk construction project can be completed. Archeologists must give the green light since the proposed project is located next to the Commissary Building which is the city's oldest standing structure.
Fort Smith National Park Superintendent Lisa Conard frost says she's excited to see what the investigation could uncover.
"What we can discover and what we might find out in this investigation could tell us about our past and it will definitely be used for our future for information on how we can better tell the story here in Fort Smith," she said.
If the project is approved - the park will construct a sidewalk that overlooks the back door of the Commissary as well as the historic Frisco Depot. It's all part of a bigger project which would open up the Commissary's main interior to visitors.

Install Heating & Cooling Air Conditioners in your Perth Home
Get Your Air-Conditioning Serviced For Cost-Efffective Heating
Reverse cycle air conditioners can heat as well as cool your home or office workplace. A professionally designed and installed reverse cycle air conditioning system, is one of the most efficient ways to heat your home or office using electricity.
During the colder winter months, a reverse cycle air conditioner absorbs heat from the outside/outdoor air to warm the air within the room/rooms of the building. This is a more energy efficient technique than other , conventional heaters which tend to create heat energy. The air conditioning systems have been designed and manufactured to suit cold conditions. The air conditioning systems have a defrost cycle to allow it to function effectively in very cold temperatures.
During the warmer summer months, a reverse cycle air conditioner absorbs heat from within the room/rooms of the building. Then it dissipates the warm air outside the building, leaving the internal temperature cooler.
As electricity prices continue to rise, the costs of air conditioning becomes very relevant. Reverse cycle air conditioning systems have evolved very quickly to ensure that they are energy efficient. Inverter technology plays a very large role and increases the air conditioning systems energy efficiency. Inverter technology is one of the most efficient ways to heat or cool your home or building.
Air conditioning systems which include inverter technology, use advanced fan motors and compressors to operate more efficiently than non-inverter air conditioning systems. Non inverter (conventional fixed speed systems) which operate with an on/off principal operation are less energy efficient. Whereas inverter air conditioning systems gently adjust to ensure that the desired temperature is reached faster. They then steadily maintain the temperature without fluctuations. This provides uninterrupted comfort and more efficient operation. This means that the during very high or low ambient temperatures, an inverter air conditioning system will be able to reach your desired temperature faster. Then operate more efficiently during the extreme weather conditions.

Side Effects of Levalbuterol
In clinical trials of levalbuterol, side effects that were most commonly seen included viral infections, runny nose, and nervousness. Common side effects in children included headaches, sore throat, and fever. Although most people tolerate the drug without problems, you should notify your healthcare provider immediately if serious side effects of levalbuterol occur, such as signs of an allergic reaction, breathing problems that are getting worse, or an irregular heart rhythm.
Side Effects of Levalbuterol: An IntroductionAs with any medicine, side effects are possible with levalbuterol hydrochloride (Xopenex®). However, not everyone who takes it will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate the medication quite well. When side effects do occur, in most cases, they are minor and either require no treatment or can easily be treated by you or your healthcare provider.
(This article covers many, but not all, of the possible side effects with levalbuterol. Your healthcare provider can discuss a more complete list of levalbuterol side effects with you.)
Common Side Effects of LevalbuterolLevalbuterol has been studied thoroughly in clinical trials, in which the side effects of a group of people taking the drug are documented and compared to another group not taking the medicine. As a result, it is possible to see what side effects occur, how often they appear, and how they compare to the group not taking the medicine.
In these studies, the most common levalbuterol side effects in adults and adolescents included:
- Viral infections -- in up to 12.3 percent of people
- An irritated or runny nose -- up to 11.1 percent
- Nervousness -- up to 9.6 percent
- Shakiness (tremors) -- up to 6.8 percent
- A sinus infection -- up to 4.2 percent
- Flu symptoms (such as chills or fever) -- up to 4.2 percent
- Coughing -- up to 4.1 percent.
In children (ages 6 to 11), common side effects included:
- Headaches -- in up to 11.9 percent of children
- A sore throat -- up to 10.4 percent
- An irritated or runny nose -- up to 10.4 percent
- Fever -- up to 9.1 percent
- Asthma that becomes worse -- up to 9.1 percent
- A viral infection -- up to 9 percent
- A rash -- up to 7.5 percent
- Accidental injury -- up to 6.1 percent
- Diarrhea -- up to 6 percent.

The Story
Recently Nicki Minaj sought to return to her alma mater, Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Art and Performing Arts, to give an inspirational talk to the students. The Principal denied her request. Nicki tweeted about her disappointment over not being allowed to speak at the school. She stated that the school had changed her life and she wanted to inspire he current students there.
Naturally a social media backlash began as people spoke out about whether or not qualified as an "appropriate role model" that she speak to students. This same so this cussing came up when P. Diddy was scheduled to speak at Howard University's commencement ceremony (add to that he was given an honorary degree that day as well).
The Problem
In true definition a role model is someone whose behavior, example, or success mirrors that to which others aspire. This means that a role model is not publicly elected not do they volunteer. They are those individuals who influence and inspire others through their own natural presence.
The problem is that we, as a society, have become so obnoxiously grandiose that we presume to be the authorities on everything. The power of social media has given a broader voice to those everyday citizens who twenty years ago may have never been heard. However, this access has deluded us into believing that just because we have an opinion it always matters concretely. I say this to say that while the public opinion (supposedly represented by the media) may have it's opinions and thoughts on who should or should not be a role model, it really doesn't make any difference. Individuals, people, and/or groups choose their role models and nothing anyone else has to say will change that.
To deny a celebrity the opportunity to speak directly to the population for whom they are a role model is controlling and counterproductive. I think this is especially true when it comes to Hip Hop artists because they often occupy a controversial and contradictory space in society (not that they can help it as reality is controversial and contradictory). Giving them an opportunity outside of their art to speak to their fans and supporters would allow them to add dimension and clarification to their messages that may be confusing to younger audiences. And if nothing else it will allow them to see their role models outside of the cameras and lights and assess them with greater understanding.
The Point
The point is that I get so sick of popular opinion seeking to control and dictate people's behavior and thoughts. The strength of that choke hold is growing everyday through opinion, ideology, and legislation. Little battles such as this one is where we are losing the war. We are so tunnel visioned and opinionated that we miss the big picture. The more we allow institutions and systems to appraise our individual value, regulate our behavior and dictate the spaces in which we allowed to move, the more we become commodities and not citizens; prisoners and not people.
I'm not sayin; I'm just sayin,

Science For Kids
As a member, you'll also get unlimited access to over 70,000 classes in math, English, science, history, and extra. We shall, subsequently, sum up the situation by saying that, when atoms are very close together, the forces between them are electromagnetic in nature. But generally an atom can gain or lose an electron to grow to be what's called an ion. Each totally different form of atom makes up a component There are ninety two pure elements and up to 118 while you count in man-made components. If you add another proton, one other electron, and two neutrons, you get an atom of helium (symbol He). What it means to me is that we are creating our own reality and that the solidity of things is just an illusion created by the mind with the complicity of atoms.
Artwork: Molecules are built from atoms: In the early nineteenth century, English chemist John Dalton (1766-1844) realized that atoms join together in easy ratios. In one very well-known sequence of experiments in the early 20th century, a group led by Ernest Rutherford (a New-Zealand-born physicist) fired particles at atoms and watched what happened. I say this as a result of every little thing is made up of atoms which might be 99.9{9174920fe6761dcca8af5c78dfabcc70f111f8f97305a3ed292156e2e75818d3} empty and the stuff that makes up atoms is vitality.
Molecules of ingredient have similar kind of atoms whereas molecules of compound have different type of atoms. However, you have to keep in mind that the atom and its parts are so small that scientists are unable to work instantly with the atom. An electron can change into excited if it is given extra vitality, akin to if it absorbs a photon, or packet of sunshine , or collides with a close-by atom or particle. In 1921 Louis de Broglie said, with none empirical proof, that if waves have matter properties then matter ought to have wave properties. A sodium ion is made when a sodium atom loses an electron and becomes positively charged.
The Particle Adventure : One of the very best simple websites explaining atoms and the world inside them. Atoms are composed of particles referred to as protons , electrons and neutrons Protons carry a positive electrical charge, electrons carry a detrimental electrical charge and neutrons carry no electrical cost in any respect. The first thing to know is that each atom has an atomic nucleus, which is a set of protons and neutrons at the heart of the atom. Atoms which have four electrons in the outer most energy level will have a tendency neither to totally lose nor totally achieve electrons throughout interactions.
While the Bohr atom described above is a nice technique to study concerning the construction of atoms, it isn't probably the most correct way to mannequin them. Unlike these earlier scientists, we can truly see atoms; simply take a look at the picture of sulfur atoms up above! But later his second conclusion was not accepted, as a result of if the electrons revolve in a round motion, they have to spend vitality and finally will fall into the nucleus, which suggests the atoms shall be unstable.

The University of Georgia is holding their annual Journal of Language and Literacy Education (JoLLE) this Saturday, and my co-creator and friend, Nick Thompson, will be presenting on The Teacher Casebook project.
Here's our info on the session in case you are going to be there:
Breakout Sessions 1, Saturday, 9:35 – 10:25 am
The Case for Teacher Case Reports: Connecting Teacher Experiences to Teacher Research
Kyle Jones (Gwinnett County Public Schools) & Nick Thompson (The University of Georgia)
Keywords: Teacher Case Report, Education Research, Teacher Writing, Professional Development
Abstract: Teachers can feel their experiences in classrooms and schools are isolated, unique, or disjointed from the experiences of others. Bringing educators' stories and experiences into an open, public forum, this session introduces participants to teacher case report writing. These cases share teachers' lived experiences in lesson planning, teaching, and relationships, couching these experiences in current education research. Participants will have an opportunity to write their own case and learn more about the ongoing project.

An intuitive standalone program to add stream software capability's (In terms of streaming specific elements contents). Snaz is an object-oriented programmed application written in C#. Snaz is used by thousands of live-streamers all over the world.
Snaz serves as an extension to stream software like OBS, FFSplit, Xsplit or any other software that is capable of importing/reading text from text files. This toolkit will enable you to stream elements that are not integrated by default within most (if not any) streaming software.
The development started out with making one feature that I wanted to use on my own stream. Viewers of mine asked if I could deploy it to the public and suggested more features.
So that's what I did …

Tara mantras are always helpful. I don't know how it works, but it does. :scratches head: :)

Isnt it nice how Tara shows here breasts. Is it ok if i say that? or will you be affended? Tara was experienced by a male Buddha? wasnt it, thats how we know about her. Did Sakyamunni show his penis? Does your daughter or wife show her breasts in public?
- Friday, January 15, 2010 at 10:15:00 AM GMT+8
The teachings of Interdependent Origination and Emptiness and Impermance are certainly needed but i think the Haitians can do with out the footage of Taras breasts.

On the whole, isn't it is better to show one's breasts in public than one's ignorance?

My family is personally impacted by the disaster in Haiti. I can tell you for certain that we need love and compassion, not moralizing by adolescents that giggle when they see a woman's breast.
Lecturing about interdependent origination and impermanence while people are trying to free trapped love ones is beyond the pale. Can't you find some more appropriate occasion for your sectarian proselytizing? Now is not the time.
- Friday, January 15, 2010 at 4:20:00 PM GMT+8
- TENPA said...
Oh, that's just some cult kid. I only let it go through so they could see how foolish they look in print.
So sorry to hear about your situation, Geoff, but please be assured your family is in our prayers, along with all others impacted by this terrible tragedy.
- Friday, January 15, 2010 at 5:05:00 PM GMT+8
@Tenpa, You dont have breasts thats the whole point you are male as were the tour leaders who found Tara.
To not view this nightmare in Haiti through the view of interdependent origination and impermance is ignorance. This is all Tara can show as Buddhasare not a form of monism.

with Xubuntu 16.04-3, kernel 4.10.0-42-generic
Download, forum "PHCTool Downloads", section "Releases" : phctool_0.5.2-2.tar.gz
and from forum "PHC Discussions", topic "phc-intel 0.3.2 and 0.4.0 + dkms for kernel 2.6.27 to 4.14 :
Download cpuinfo.py joined to this topic
Decompact, for example under your $HOME/Download directory.
You should have "0.5.2-2" and "phc-intel-pack-rev24" directories and cpuinfo.py file.
Check : go to phc-intel-pack-rev24/inc
there are all linux kernel supported. At the moment of writing this topic, I use the 4.10
linux kernel (Xubuntu 16.04-3). It is present, but if your version is not listed, I do not know
if Linux-PHC will work...
Let's go
We install Linux-PHC v0.3.2 and some packages we will need.
Open a "terminal" window :
Now, install the following packages with your linux kernel version (uname -a).
Code: Select all
cd Downloads/phc-intel-pack-rev24/
sudo apt install dkms dpkg-dev debhelper stress-ng linux-tools-common cpufrequtils
For me, it is the 4.10.0-42-generic :
To enable the phc-intel module
Code: Select all
sudo apt install linux-tools-4.10.0-42-generic linux-cloud-tools-4.10.0-42-generic
sudo make dkms_mkdeb
sudo dpkg -i phc-intel-dkms_0.3.2_all.deb
# change GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
Code: Select all
sudo mousepad /etc/default/grub
# to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash processor.ignore_ppc=1 cpufreq_driver=phc-intel"
Reboot your computer.
Code: Select all
sudo update-grub
Open a "terminal" window :
If it is ok, Linux-PHC v0.3.2 is installed.
Code: Select all
sudo lsmod | grep phc # You should have "phc_intel". If there is nothing, something does not work...
Now, we install PHCtool. PHCtool is a GUI for Linux-PHC.
It will help us to test the voltages before setting them permanently.
Do not modify/set something, we have not finished...
Code: Select all
cd Downloads
cp cpuinfo.py 0.5.2-2/phctool/inc/libs/
cd 0.5.2-2/phctool
sudo apt install python-gtk2-dev
sudo ./install.sh # (Answer "y")
sudo modprobe msr
sudo ./phctool.sh &
You should have "Name", "CPU Model", "Frequencies" fullfilled.
And Throttling = not available # (for this option, available or not, it is not a problem)
PHC extensions = available
PHC version = 0.3.2:3
MSR extensions = available
Vcc calculation = CPU recognized, calculation available
If everything is ok, close the phctool window, elsewhere something does not work...
So now, we have Linux-PHC et PHCtool GUI installed.
We are going to determine the lowest voltage values.
Open 2 "terminal" windows.
In the first one :
In the PHCTool window, select "Voltages" tab.
Code: Select all
cd Downloads/0.5.2-2/phctool
sudo modprobe msr # Before running phctool, you must load the msr module (one time only is needed).
sudo ./phctool.sh &
We will test the best VIDs for each speedstep. For my configuration (intel P9600), I have
Code: Select all
more /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_available_frequencies
2667000 2666000 2133000 1600000 800000
We begin to test the best VID for the first frequency, for me : 2667000
My cpu P9600 has 2 core, so I have to change frequency for both (if yours has not 2 core, you have to
rewrite the following commands)
In the second "terminal" window, run a cpu stress test :
Code: Select all
sudo bash -c 'for i in {0..1}; do sudo cpufreq-set -c $i -u 2667000 -d 2667000; done'
more /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq # For me, the max frequency is set to 2667000, it is ok
The stress test is running, in the other terminal window, we check the current frequency, it should be to max (for me 2667000)
Code: Select all
stress-ng --cpu 2 --cpu-method matrixprod --metrics-brief --perf -t 500
Now, in PHCTool GUI, we decrease slowly the VID value for the frequency (for me 2667Mhz) and "save",
Code: Select all
sudo more /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/cpuinfo_cur_freq
until it freezes...
Note : the bios defines a minimal VID. If you try to set a VID below, this minimal VID will be used.
To know if your VID >= minimal VID, select "Analysis" tab in the PHCTool GUI and check
When you know the lowest VID to work for a frequency, you repeat A) for the others
(for me 2666000 2133000 1600000)
At the end, do not forget to set the correct min max frequency (for me 2667000 - 800000)
Code: Select all
sudo bash -c 'for i in {0..1}; do sudo cpufreq-set -c $i -u 2667000 -d 800000; done'
more /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_max_freq
more /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_min_freq
Result for Lenovo R500 with intel P9600:
2667000 2666000 2133000 1600000 800000
Default VID 40 32 28 23 17

Make permanently
If you reboot, your settings are cancelled. You can see that with
So, download in your $HOME directory the file joined : .cpu_vid.sh
Code: Select all
more /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/phc_vids
Open it and set your "VID used" (for me : "31 28 21 19 17 " (space at the end is necessary))
In the Xubuntu menu, select "Settings" => "Session and Startup"
Code: Select all
chmod 700 .cpu_vid.sh
In "Application Autostart" add a new item :
Name : CPU-vid
Description : Customized cpu VIDs
Command : bash -c 'sudo -S -s $HOME/.cpu_vid.sh >/dev/null 2>&1 <<< your_sudo_password'
( Replace "your_sudo_password" by your linux password )
For security, you can do
Code: Select all
chmod 600 $HOME/.config/autostart/CPU-vid.desktop
Check if it works...
Open a "terminal" window and after 20 seconds (delay in .cpu_vid.sh)
Code: Select all
more /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/phc_vids
Issue : when the computer come back from a "suspend mode",
sometimes your cpu VIDs are cancelled and the default ones are used
Workaround : download the file (joined) 93phc_vids, open it and set your VIDs.
Then :
Code: Select all
sudo sh -c 'cp 93phc_vids /lib/systemd/system-sleep'
sudo sh -c 'chmod a+rwx /lib/systemd/system-sleep/93phc_vids'

They calculate a car's average speed within the 20mph zone and transmit the data to a processing centre.
The system is seen as an alternative to road humps and will catch drivers who slow down for conventional cameras and then speed up again.
It is being tested in Camden, north London, and Belfast but could be used to develop more 20mph zones.
The London trial, which runs until March 2007, involves two cameras installed at either end of Mansfield Road in Camden, which has a 20mph limit.
Environmentally friendly
A Camden Council spokesman said as this was a trial no penalties were being issued to speeding drivers.
The Specs cameras are synchronised but not physically linked, which avoids the need to dig up the roads between them to lay cables.
"In the future, [the cameras] could open up the possibility of enforcing speed across a residential area using only cameras installed at the entrance and exit junctions," said the council spokesman.
The cameras are also considered to be a more environmentally friendly option, as road humps are believed to push up vehicles' carbon monoxide emissions.
Paul Smith, of the Safe Speed road safety campaign, which believes cameras divert motorists' attention away from the roads, said the scheme would not be as effective as humps or other traffic calming measures.
He said because the cameras were intended to be at the entrance and exit of the zone, cars stopping or travelling within the area would not be monitored.
"As a road safety initiative I give this scheme nought out of 10," he said.
The technology will need Home Office approval - which is expected to be given later this year - before it can be rolled out.

I can't help but feel local elections are akin to a re-shuffling of the deck chairs on the S.S. Titanic.
They actually do little more than divert our attention away from the iceberg looming up on the Starboard side.
As vital as they are to local democracy, it is hard for me to get too excited beyond a private smile when someone I know to be a good councillor (irrespective of their political affiliations) is re-elected.
At least then I can rest assured that, in their particular ward, local people will have a voice and that voice will come from someone who cares and who isn't just trying to climb the greasy pole.
Of course, it isn't just me who struggles to muster much interest in local elections. It's the majority of voters too.
The turnout across Staffordshire varied from the anomaly that is Cheslyn Hay, Essington and Great Wyrley (52 per cent) down to a paltry 21 per cent in Keele, Knutton and Silverdale where Labour's bright young thing Gareth Snell met his Waterloo.
I guess the average turnout was around 30 per cent.
Simply put: The majority of the electorate are even less bothered about voting in these polls than they are at General Election time.
For me, this apathy is by far the greatest threat to our democracy and the biggest issue facing politicians and parties who, by the very nature of the system, live for short-term gain.
The word you often hear after an election is that parties need to 're-engage' with the electorate.
Indeed Labour MP Tristram Hunt used it yesterday in his column in The Sentinel.
The word re-engage is as close as you'll ever get to an apology from your MP, a local party leader, the Prime Minister or his Right Honourable 'Friend' on the other side of the Despatch Box.
It covers a multitude of sins, stops politicians from having to admit they've made any mistakes, and is their way of explaining away the fact that election turnouts have been falling in the UK since the early 1950s.
Until we get a grip of this by impressing upon primary and secondary school children the importance of casting a vote, come hell or high water, then I'm afraid apathy will continue to reign.
Here in Staffordshire, as expected all parties were trying to find crumbs of comfort in the election result which actually meant very little changed.
The Conservatives held on to control of the authority with the slimmest of minorities while Labour enjoyed the typical resurgence of a party in opposition during the mid-term of a government taking unpopular decisions.
The fact is many people do find it impossible to divorce national politics from local politics and thus many a hard-working ward councillor pays the price for what his or her party has or hasn't been doing at Westminster.
As a case in point in our county, poor Lib Dem councillors vanished off the political map – paying the price for their counterparts in the House of Commons selling their souls to the Coalition dream.
Meanwhile Ukip came from nowhere to grab a quite remarkable 24 per cent of the vote (broadly in line with the national picture) – but actually only won two seats as opposed to four the last time around.
It would be very easy to dismiss Ukip as the recipient of this year's protest vote or to try to besmirch the party, as some leading politicians have done, as a haven for fools and extremists.
Yes, there is an element of protest voting going on as regards Ukip – just as there was when the BNP gained a foothold in Stoke-on-Trent.
But I think the message from the electorate is more nuanced than simply being a case of 'anything other than red or blue at the moment'.
At a time of austerity and deep economic uncertainty, I think many people are tired of the spin, point-scoring and yah-boo politics which is the bread and butter of mainstream parties.
I also believe that Ukip has touched a chord with those who are fed up of the Tories, Labour and the Lib-Dems skirting around the important issues of Europe and immigration.
Not so long ago Ukip and its rather eccentric leader were seen as little more than a fringe group.
But last week almost a quarter of those who could be bothered to vote chose to support Ukip.
That's a lot of votes.
Thus one can understand the conviction of Ukip leader Nigel Farage's that his party isn't "just some little pressure group that will go away if someone in No 10 starts singing the same song".
If nothing else perhaps Ukip's populist success will force the mainstream parties to 're-engage' with the public on the issues that really matter to them.
Oops, there's that word again.

Man, there's still one more cursed month before we hit 2017. But until then, I've got updates. Here's a recent commission for evilhero2517 featuring their character Alison working together with Lana to give Kiara a foot massage in the only place that counts. Alison and Lana work in tandem, using their soft feet and toes to help Kiara relieve herself. Soon enough, the pleasure overwhelms her, causing her to shoot a hot load all over their feet. I wonder how they'll clean up this mess. 😀 This one includes various angles and cumshot variants. Enjoy!
