Last spot in 'Magic 12' a duel between Nancy and JV?
MANILA, Philippines — Who would secure the last spot to complete the so-called Magic 12 in the senatorial race? At this point, it could be a bout between two reelectionist senators.
This, as only over 240,000 votes sets Nancy Binay apart from JV Ejercito, who were ranked 12th and 13th, respectively, in the data released by the Parish Pastoral Council for Responsible Voting (PPCRV) Tuesday evening.
As of 6:20 p.m., Binay garnered 14,130,611 votes while Ejercito got 13,882,914 votes.
In 2013, both candidates were successful in their senatorial bids with Binay placing 5th and Ejercito placing 11th.
Based on the latest unofficial results, reelectionist senators Cynthia Villar and Grace Poe lead the race with 24,509,114 votes and 21,426,018 votes, respectively.
Former Special Assistant to the President Christopher "Bong" Go (19,874,191 votes), Pia Cayetano (19,156,910 votes), and former Philippine National Police chief Ronald de la Rosa (18,263,881 votes) also retained their ranks in the top five of the senatorial race.
Meanwhile, senatorial candidates in the 6th to 12th slots were Sonny Angara (17,620,407 votes), Lito Lapid (16,476,675 votes), Imee Marcos (15,376,842 votes), Francis Tolentino (14,957,833 votes), Ramon "Bong" Revilla Jr. (14,167,528 votes), Koko Pimentel (14,156,067 votes), and Nancy Binay (14,130,611 votes).

WEFTEC has come and gone. Another year under the bright lights. Bustling as always and man did the Morial Convention Center provide a great stage! The Hunter Crown team always enjoys interacting with the experts in the industry.
Austin Meyermann, President of Hunter Crown, having attended 15 WEFTECs, thought Monday was one of the best days he can remember. Energy was high, traffic seemed very strong, and many companies were eager to share stories about new technology, big wins, and plans for growth.
The Innovation Showcase continues to grow and this year the space felt very dialed in. One improvement could be done for audio since it was difficult to hear some talks/pitches in the convention center.
We do have to mention that the infused water station was an amazing idea and may we say, extremely DELICIOUS after hours of walking from one booth to another! We also tried wine made from recycled water which we believe was a major success.
Lastly, while WEFTEC strongly marketed the environmental impacts and opportunities that exist within the fields of water and wastewater treatment, they also handed badges with sensors that contained a battery. All of the badges were thrown out which basically will result in 23,000 batteries going to the landfill. Can we do a better job of not just talking the talk but also walking the walk? Our focus is water but it's all connected.
We hope everyone had a successful show and we look forward to expanding our budding network in the future.

Hot Cross Buns: fluffy, wholemeal, spiced & vegan recipe
Every year I fiddle and tweak my recipe for Hot Cross Buns - and this year, I think I've hit upon a magical combination of ingredients which not only make these the fluffiest, tastiest wholemeal spiced funs imaginable, but also utilise standard pantry ingredients.
No need for vegan butter or egg replacers here - these buns are moist from extra virgin olive oil, which gives them a fluffy and even texture. I only ever use stoneground, wholemeal organic flours in all my baking and cooking, but I discovered that means a higher proportion of dried yeast is needed compared with baking with processed white flour. Basically, if you double the yeast called for in refined white flour recipes, it's generally about right. The yeast has to work harder to "eat" the wholemeal flours, but the flip side of that is a less doughy and much more satisfying texture than refined white flour baked goods.
My son pronounced these "the tastiest, fluffiest buns ever", but then he's also a little bias. Having been brought up on home made cooking which tends to be of the wholefoods, minimally processed variety, he has developed a keen appreciation for the flavour of simple, good quality ingredients.
This recipe calls for two different types of flours - a "bakers" or strong flour (which just means a naturally higher protein count in the grain, so the gluten develops well & the buns rise beautifully) and a softer spelt flour (which gives the buns their pull-apart texture as it has a lower gluten count in the grain). The mix of both hard and soft flour is often used in sweet yeast baking, whereas savoury bread is better with all hard flour and cakes are better with all soft flour.
Of course, if you haven't these flours in your pantry, just use plain or regular flour. (Which is soft flour.)
The buns are sweet from the dried fruit, and by using an organic orange you can safely eat the zest which is used to give the dough a delicate flavouring. Don't waste the juice of the orange - it's used in the mixture to make the crosses. (You can sub water here if you don't have an orange to hand.)
Fluffy Wholemeal Spelt vegan Hot Cross Buns
1+1/2 cup soy or plant milk of choice
2 tablespoons raw sugar
2 tablespoons dry yeast
300 gm wholemeal bakers (strong) flour
350 gm wholemeal spelt (soft) flour
2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons mixed spice
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 tablespoon raw sugar
½ cup extra virgin olive oil
Grated rind 1 x organic orange (juice the orange to use in the decoration later)
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
2 cups dried fruit (sultanas or a preferred mix)
Place milk in a glass measuring jug and heat to lukewarm in microwave. (Or heat in a small saucepan if you prefer.)
Add 2 tablespoons sugar and dried yeast and stir.
Set aside in a warm corner of the kitchen for 5-10 minutes or until it becomes very fluffy and active.
Meanwhile, place flours, spices and the remaining (1 tablespoon) sugar into the large bowl of a stand mixer with a yeast hook fitted.
Add olive oil, vanilla essence, dried fruit and orange rind to yeast mixture and stir to combine.
Pour yeast mixture into flour mixture and knead on the lowest setting for 8-10 minutes or until the mixture looks elastic.
Cover bowl with a clean tea towel and set aside in a warm spot to rise. (Top of the fridge, a sunny corner, or in an oven with oven light turned on are all good options.) This will take about an hour.
Divide dough into 12 evenly spaced clumps, and roll gently in your hands to make a bun shape.
Place buns quite closely together on a baking sheet lined oven tray. Cover with a clean tea towel, and set aside to prove for about 30 minutes or until they have risen.
Preheat a fan-forced oven to 200 degrees C.
½ cup plain flour
Juice of 1 x orange
Mix flour and enough of the orange juice to get a soft dripping consistency.
Place mixture in a piping bag with a plain nozzle, and pipe crosses over the buns.
Bake the buns in the hot oven for approx 20 - 30 minutes or until they spring back when pressed with a quick finger and are gently golden.
Eat warm or wrap in a clean tea towel to keep fresh for the day.
Happy baking and happy Easter!

Northamptonshire County Council plan to cut £65m unveiled
A council plans to cut spending on agency staff and highways services, while boosting tax receipts, to tackle a £65m funding shortfall.
The "stabilisation plan" published by Northamptonshire County Council aims to save an additional £20m in 2018-19, on top of £45m in cuts already planned.
Government-appointed commissioners have been brought in to oversee the council, which has twice banned new spending.
Council leader Matt Golby said the authority faced "unprecedented times".
Plans to slash £35m had already been announced in the initial budget passed for this year.
But it has since been forecast that the Conservative-run council will go over budget by £30m in 2018-19 as auditors said it was not allowed to use money from the sale of buildings to contribute towards savings.
The authority said reductions of £10m had already been achieved, leaving £20m to be found.
Newly-announced cost-cutting measures include clawing back £6m by increasing the number of people paying council tax.
The authority will be scrapped in 2020 to make way for a new unitary council.
Other plans to make money back include increasing the collection of council tax accounts in arrears and reviewing single person discounts for those no longer entitled to receive them.
Meanwhile, there will be reductions in spending on highways and agency staff, with the latter reducing by 30% in all areas.
Highways spending faces a £350,000 cut this financial year, with a further £150,000 planned to go in 2019-20.
At the Conservative Party Conference, Local Government Secretary James Brokenshire said he recognised "the concerns and uncertainty" the crisis had created.
He said "hard calls "and "difficult decisions" have been made to ensure a "sustainable" future for the county.
By Sam Read, BBC Radio Northampton political reporter
Today the council announced its plans to get back on track - but there are still questions.
Mainly, previous savings targets have not been met so what makes these different?
There is also still a large £35m deficit from last year. The council is asking for special government permission to use money from building sales to wipe that away, but we do not know if that will be granted.
Plus there is a warning of more savings to be made next year in areas like school transport and learning disability care.
There is a lot more that needs sorting before this council is abolished - which is due to happen in 2020.
Mr Golby said: "These are unprecedented times for us and as such we need a robust plan to address the financial challenges we now face.
"The stabilisation plan published today alongside our latest financial reports show how we are now moving firmly towards stabilising our budget position."
The authority's chief executive Theresa Grant added: "We now have a firm set of proposals and new measures which can help us move towards stabilising our budget.
"However, we are of course acutely aware that the challenge to deliver this plan is significant and as such we will now focus all our energy on doing so."
'One of the worst contracts'
The document also sets out problems with a major private finance initiative (PFI) contract.
It reveals four specialist healthcare centres for vulnerable elderly people have only been operating at 30-50% capacity for a number of years.
The contract with Shaw Healthcare was negotiated in 2003 under a Labour administration and is worth almost £200m over 29 years.
The county council says it is paying between £1.5m - £2m per year for the unoccupied beds.
Attempts to improve the occupancy rates have been thwarted by referral criteria under the terms of the contract.
Mr Golby said it was "one of the worst PFI contracts in the country".
The BBC has approached several members of the Labour opposition for comment.

'Speculative Mania.' Bitcoin Is More Likely to Appeal to Criminals Than Consumers, RBA Governor Says
Australia's central bank chief added his voice to growing criticism of Bitcoin, saying the cryptocurrency that's soared above $17,000 is more likely to appeal to criminals than consumers.
"When thought of purely as a payment instrument, it seems more likely to be attractive to those who want to make transactions in the black or illegal economy, rather than everyday transactions," Governor Philip Lowe said in a speech in Sydney Wednesday. "So the current fascination with these currencies feels more like a speculative mania than it has to do with their use as an efficient and convenient form of electronic payment."
Bitcoin has soared more than 1,600 percent this year as people rush to buy the digital currency in the hope it will become a legitimate alternative to gold or traditional money. Lowe joins a string of central bankers globally who have warned of the downside of digital currencies, including his New Zealand counterpart Grant Spencer, who at the weekend said Bitcoin's gains looked "remarkably like a bubble."

"The value of Bitcoin is very volatile, the number of payments that can currently be handled is very low, there are governance problems," said Lowe. "The transaction cost involved in making a payment with Bitcoin is very high and the estimates of the electricity used in the process of mining the coins are staggering."
"In reality these currencies are not being commonly used for everyday payments and, as things currently stand, it is hard to see that changing," he added.
South Korea is convening an emergency meeting on cryptocurrencies, Yonhap News reported Wednesday, without elaborating. Hong Kong's Securities and Futures Commission on Monday reminded investors of the risks associated with Bitcoin futures contracts, citing insufficient liquidity, high price volatility and potential market manipulation.
The European Central Bank has repeatedly warned about the dangers of investing in digital currencies. Vice President Vitor Constancio said in September that bitcoin isn't a currency, but a "tulip" — alluding to the 17th-century bubble in the Netherlands.
Randal Quarles, the Federal Reserve's vice chair for supervision, said earlier this month the Fed has no policy toward regulation of bitcoin but "it certainly is something that is worth thinking about."
The Reserve Bank of Australia chief's speech addressed a subject of increasing interest: does it intend to issue a digital form of the Australian dollar? The short answer is no, Lowe said.
Lowe said the case for adding an electronic form of Australian banknotes to the payments mix has not been established, even if it were technologically feasible. The RBA is in close contact with its peers in other countries on this issue and few see electronic banknotes on the horizon, he said.

Living in Scotland, I sometimes have to remind myself of all the beauty that's just on my doorstep, no flying required! This chilly weekend in late October we went to The Hermitage in Perthshire – known as 'Big Tree Country' – to marvel at the autumn leaves. I think we missed 'peak leaf' by a week but the colours were still stunning; meanwhile the forest itself, with its cascading river, tumbled rocks and hidden nooks, is like something out of a fairytale.

Cryptocurrencies: king's ransom or fool's gold?
Extreme volatility makes products an unreliable store of value – for now
The increasing dominance of technology in our daily lives is finally penetrating the financial industry as well. The growing popularity of algorithmic trading, mobile payment platforms and robo-advisers is just the beginning of the fintech revolution. But perhaps the most radical – and controversial – innovation in today's headlines is cryptocurrencies. History teaches that their success will depend on their stability and reliability as a store of value – and by that measure, most are currently

Risk Factors Associated with an Overactive Bladder
Our susceptibility to diseases and conditions relating to them are a combination of risk factors. The causes can range anywhere from lifestyle to environment, age and genetics. When it comes to overactive bladder, some people are going to pose a higher risk than others. Paying careful and close attention to your lifestyle choices and risk factors may help determine whether you could succumb to certain health conditions. Certain ailments may affect your bladder.
Urinary Tract Infection
The first condition that we should consider is a urinary tract infection, or UTI. A UTI is going to cause an overactive bladder and possible discomfort during urination. It is easily diagnosable and treatable with antibiotics.
The risk for overactive bladder and urinary incontinence increases with age for both men and women. Studies indicate that only 3.4% of men experience problems in the urinary system. This number jumps to a shocking 41.9% past the age of 75. Women are even twice at risk with 8.7% of them between the ages of 40-44 experiencing symptoms, and that number increases to 31.3% for women over 75 years old.
Women are at greater risk for urinary incontinence. Pregnancy, vaginal childbirth and a hysterectomy may lead to vaginal leakage. Menopause is something that all the women will experience eventually, and there's also a possibility that this may disturb healthy bladder function.
Men are less likely to have it at a younger age, but as they grow older, the likelihood of benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH develops. 30% of men in the United States suffer from OAB.
Approximately 50% of men adhere to BPH symptoms by age 60 while 90% do by the time they're 85.
Certain medications may cause the occurrence of overactive bladder and stress incontinence. Steroids, water pills, caffeine and taking medications like antidepressants, narcotics and sedatives can increase your urine production.
A vesical calculus, or bladder stone, is a buildup of minerals that accumulate when the bladder doesn't empty after voiding. If this continues to occur, the minerals convert to crystals, which grow larger over time. Bladder stones cause pain in the lower abdomen and discomfort or pain in the penis. Men over the age of 50 tend to experience bladder stones whereas it is not as common in women. This may cause a change in urine color, a presence of blood, and pain during urination.
It has been reported that more than 300,000 people die annually due to obesity. It is often caused by a sedentary existence and poor diet. Obesity also poses its own risk factors including urinary incontinence. Over 60% of overweight women who are candidates for weight-loss surgery experience incontinence. A higher BMI is going to cause excessive abdominal fat which contributes to stress and urinary incontinence. A reduction in weight has been proven to decrease incontinence.
Nerve Damage
Individuals with nerve damage no longer receive signals that the bladder is full. Nerve damage may be caused by pelvic surgery. This can lead to urine leakage and loss of bladder control.
Neurological Conditions
People who have experienced a stroke or have multiple sclerosis or Parkinson's disease are mostly prone to need bladder-control medication like UriVArx.
Overactive bladder affects millions of people and it may be hard to pinpoint the culprit. Regular check-ups and communication with your doctor will help you treat and recognize any symptoms that may be the source of your discomfort. Seeking treatment for OAB symptoms is always recommended. Lifestyle changes, medication or surgery is often suggested to help lead you to a more comfortable and convenient lifestyle. Sometimes overactive bladder control medication like UriVArx may be helpful. Consult your doctor to find out which bladder-control pills are right for you.

About Us
Who we are, where we've come from and, with your help, what we aim to accomplish
A good-hearted open and transparent grassroots initiative
The Chairman of the Foundation Party Gerald O'Brien (left) and Chris Mendes the Party Leader (right).
We are a group of compassionate well-organised grassroots activists working within our own personal resources seeking to make a positive difference for our local communities and our country.
Between us we've been members of the Conservatives, Labour and UKIP, having been parliamentary candidates, elected Councillors, and in one instance a member of the party's senior management team.
However we have a strongly held view that the major political parties are no longer fit for purpose – either politically, professionally, or both.
The Foundation Party is a long-term project for building a serious platform for clear patriotic principles for like-minded individuals who believe that our country can do so much better.
We will be a party that you can wear on your sleeve and be proud to call home.
With politics so detached from the people, we want to reaffirm the importance of individual freedom, self-governance and democracy.
This means for example promoting the freedom of opportunity for individual self-advancement, free markets for businesses to thrive without excessive government interference, freedom for citizens to more adequately hold politicians to account, and the unrestricted freedom of speech for wide-ranging civilised debate.
We are staunch defenders of free market capitalism and fierce critics of socialism. We believe in reducing our national debt as a priority, and that free markets and free trade are the most effective proven means to create jobs and wealth for society.
Government should be limited and taxes should be relatively low, and as we leave the European Union we have a tremendous opportunity to advance this agenda.
We reject the modern false liberalism which prioritises group identity over individual merit. We value genuine equality of opportunity where properties such as gender and race are actually non-issues, as opposed to sources of virtue signalling and misguided positive discrimination.
Pro-Brexit, we want a free country and a better deal for the people
Meet the Party Leader
Chris Mendes
Chris Mendes, Leader of the Foundation Party
Declaring the major political parties not fit for purpose, Chris feels that the country is desperately missing a party, one that is more patriotic and genuinely at the service of ordinary people rather than themselves, and he is determined to lead a grassroots effort to build it.
Pro-Brexit, Chris believes profoundly in the importance of national self-government and democracy, and like so many, is shocked at the shameless lack of humility on the part of our politicians and the blatant disregard for the people they supposedly represent.
A passionate and action-oriented man, Chris is also a realist and recognises the audaciousness of starting a new political party. But he insists that through the emergence of new parties is ultimately the only way we are going to get a political class that is more in touch with the British people.

The castle for our emblem signifies a devotion to our nation's heritage and a determination to see our strength and confidence restored.
We are called the Foundation Party because we seek to repair much of the foundation of our country that has been severely neglected, and re-assert the distinctly British principles and values that made us a great nation in the first place.
Politicians in recent decades have wilfully chipped away at our traditional constitutional values such as our national independence, right to self-government, liberty, democracy, etc, as well as social and economic pillars such as education and criminal justice. They've taken what they've inherited for granted, introduced misguided idealism and demonstrated neither courage nor leadership in the areas that actually need it.
The Foundation Party is a patriotic party that wishes to reverse regressive political trends that have taken our country backwards, and expressly defend and champion the distinctly British principles that constitute the foundation of a truly prosperous and proud society.
Why a castle and why the "Foundation Party"?
Cap on donations – the party cannot be bought
A fresh new party must get the rules right from the beginning. No individual can donate over £20,000 within a given year.
We have no rich donors and nor do we seek them. The Foundation Party rejects the murky pattern of every major political party where rich individuals make huge donations in return for unjust and undemocratic influence over the party.
We value financial prudence and we will live within our means based on the generous donations that our members and supporters may or may not choose to give over the course of time.

Cambridge, England, United Kingdom
Not vegetarian
Great wine, if you're partial to French bottles
Keenly prepared
Tell us about your first impressions when you arrived.
Relaxed and informal, wide windows bathing the restaurant in light, the Cambridge Chop House is simply a fantastic come-one-come-all bistro opposite King's College serving excellent British comfort food. Solid wood tables add to the comfort factor.
What was the crowd like?
It's a chop house so it's meat eaters and they're here for steak. Mostly. Also roast venison and slow braised ox cheek. Toothpicks provided.
What should we be drinking?
Start with a taster, a decent sparkling wine from Limoux or a chilled Kingston Black apple brandy. The wine list is all French, and even more specifically from one region: Languedoc-Roussillon, with a good selection served by the glass and half-bottle. It's a strong list simply by way of the fact that the region is the largest wine-growing area in the world thus providing a wide variety of wines and diversity of terroir. My red was versatile and easy to drink, and good with the steak, a Cinsault from Domaine La Combe Blanche. I also had a lager from the Calvors brewery in Suffolk which was divine.
Main event: the food. Give us the lowdown—especially what not to miss.
Comfort food is what it's all about here, comfort done well. I went for a Butler steak with wholegrain mustard with chips and was more than satisfied, cooked rare as I like it without complaint. The waiter shows the cut before it's cooked which is always nice. The roasted root vegetable sides are a nice addition. Starter-wise the baked cod cheeks were delicious. It's a pretty traditional menu but when you know how to do something well there's no need to mix it up. I did wish I'd chosen the venison shoulder with haggis mash and red wine gravy but it's for two or four to share and my companion wasn't having any of it, deer apparently being off limits!
And how did the front-of-house folks treat you?
Keen and happy to help, they see a lot of custom through the door but remained enthusiastic. Worth the tip in bundles.
What's the real-real on why we're coming here?
Good to take a full crew of people and be well fed, and family friendly. Also nice for a wine session - the list is really well thought and you can tell the owners have visited the growers the way they talk about the wines.
Got the skinny on this place? Let our editors know!

Voluntary muscles are controlled by the ______ nervous system.Let's know it
Voluntary muscles are controlled by the ______ nervous system…Among the systems that shape the human body (and that of all animals) there is one known as the locomotor apparatus , which is capable of giving consummation to the ability to move that exists in human beings, serving in turn protection for all the rest of the organs of the body , responsible for the vital functions.
voluntary muscles are controlled by the ______ nervous system.
The movement occurs in many ways, being voluntary or involuntary , but it is inevitable for the survival of a species to have the ability to put it into practice and, above all, to control it and be aware of the use of movement.
The locomotor apparatus is composed of various systems, among which appears the nervous system, which provides the generation and modulation of orders for mobility. Fundamentally, it is an apparatus composed of three elements:
Bones : Firm tissue, of very varied shapes but with a very complex internal structure that gives rise to the skeletal system of the body . The framework of the human body is given by the bones, which must have a great capacity to regenerate and reconstitute themselves in case of any problems.
Joints : The point of contact between two bones of the body, constituted by a union formed by a tissue that can be composed of different matter. They provide elasticity and plasticity to the body, besides being lugres of growth.
Muscles : Contractile organs of the human body, composed of a muscle tissue that can contract or expand, according to the impulses coming from the nervous system. With it movements are produced, posture is maintained and joint stability is achieved.
As said, the nervous system plays a central role in the movement of people. The neurons are the primary means through which information is transmitted in the form of electricity to different parts of the body, immediately execute the movement: people are not aware of the transmission of information, because it is thought that the two facts they happen at the same time. However, at this point a fundamental distinction can be made between movements.
What are the voluntary movements?
It happens that different parts of the brain are responsible for ordering the different voluntary movements that the body can perform : to coordinate the objective and movements, the motor cortex first receives different types of information from several lobes of the brain.
What are the involuntary movements?
The involuntary movements are those that are made without the intermediation of the brain , and thus without the explicit and clear will of the animal that performed by, although they are generally designed for the human body.
A part of the nervous system, different from the nucleus that is the central nervous system, is called autonomic nervous system and deals with this kind of actions. For them it is that the body is regulated, and it is maintained in a balance beyond the external impulses.
The autonomic nervous system is divided between the sympathetic system (which fulfills the function of mediating the response of hormonal stress, producing all involuntary movements linked to hormones ) and the parasympathetic system (responsible for the regulation of internal organs).
On the other hand, there is another class of involuntary movements constituted by the reflex acts , which are different because they are originated by the spinal cord: they are involuntary movements but made immediately to an external stimulus.
The following list shows some examples of involuntary type movements:
Withdraw the hand when we burn.
To blink.
Contraction of the bronchi in the lungs.
Dilation of the pupil.
Breathe deeply before entering the water.
Move the leg when there is a blow to the patellar ligament.
Increase or decrease of the heart rate (speed of the heartbeat).
Dilation of the bronchi.
Close your eyes when sneezing.
Stimulation of the sweat glands.
Increase in saliva production during sleep.
Decreased heart rate during sleep.
Parkinson's disease, as a condition, uses involuntary movements.
We recommend you:
Organs of the human body
Neurotransmitters (and their function)
Nervous Tics
Tissue Level
Specialized Cells
Amino acids (and their function)
Human Cells (and their functions)
Somatic Cells
Open Systems
Voluntary and Involuntary Activities
Long, short, flat and irregular bones
What are the Voluntary Movements of the Human Body?
All voluntary movements (walking, writing, speaking, chewing, breathing, sleeping, crying) are possible thanks to the nervous system , an intricate network of neurotransmitters that send and receive electrical signals to or from the brain , where they are processed and transformed into action .
In the specific case of movement, it originates thanks to the contraction of the muscles and the movement of the bones and joints that accompany them.
Breathing is one of the voluntary human movements
With each movement they put into action a group of muscles that allow the movement of the body.
The voluntary movements of the body are carried out basically at the level of the outer part of the body, that is to say, those that realize the muscles that cover the skeleton, called skeletal muscles.
The rest of the internal activity of the body, such as the beating of the heart, the pumping of blood through veins and arteries, the processes of the different systems and internal organs (breathing, digesting, etc.) are not voluntary movements.
How are voluntary movements produced?
Voluntary movements are active because they are activated from the central nervous system (CNS). This system is composed of the brain, the cerebellum and the spinal cord .
In the cortex of the brain reside the nerve impulses-a tiny electric shock that lasts milliseconds and is measured in milli-volts-that travel through the nerves and spinal cord to the skeletal muscle to produce movement.
As a result of this signal, proteins such as actin and myosin are alternately activated and superimposed, producing the excitation of a certain group of muscles and the relaxation or inhibition of the opposite group, thus allowing them to change their length and effect the desired movement. .
This action is clearly visible when, for example, we try to bend an arm or a leg, or in the act of walking or going up and down a ladder.
To the extent that a muscle is stretched to achieve the flexion of the limb, its opposite has to shrink to complete the movement.
The voluntary contractions of the muscles are controlled by the brain, while reflexes and involuntary movements are controlled by the spinal cord.

UGANDA: When Brig. Kasirye Gwanga will salute Gen. David Muhoozi
Brig. Kasirye Gwanga is reported to have snubbed the decoration ceremony at the Army Headquarters today. He reasoned that he didn't want to attend a ceremony where he would be required to salute kids of yesterday like Gen. David Muhoozi who masquerades as army chief.
The Chief of Defence Forces, Gen. David Muhoozi presided over the same ceremony where the recently promoted army Generals were being formally decorated. Brig. Kasirye Gwanga is one such officer who was elevated from Brigadier to Maj. Gen. and then retired. This is the second time he is retiring after he rejoined a few years ago having spent three months in retirement.
Brig. Kasirye Gwanga had been a Corporal in the Uganda Army by the time Iddi Amin was overthrown in 1979. Like all other defeated UA soldiers, he was humiliated with imprisonment by the victorious UNLA where Museveni was the Minister of Defence.
Gwanga was released from detention at the time Museveni was fighting his NRA Bush War. Corporal Kasirye Gwanga detested joining the NRA on account of having been detained by Museveni. Instead he joined the Baganda dominated FEDEMO. At the time of surrendering to NRA's Maj. John Kazoora in Mityana a few months to the fall of Kampala, Brig. Kasirye Gwanga was still a Corporal.
Therefore, Corporal Kasirye Gwanga joined the NRA around the same time recruit David Muhoozi Rubakuba was joining. They were both similarly referred to as Kyamukwese, Trailer etc. by the original NRA fighters to mean they had joined at the time the war was over. The only difference is that Kasirye was being referred to as a FEDEMO and UA while Muhoozi was being referred to as an "intellectual Kurutu".
Brig. Kasirye Gwanga rose through the ranks to attain the rank of Brigadier and his current position of Senior Presidential Advisor because of regional balance and his past role in neutralising the UFM/FEDEMO Baganda fighters who had joined hands with Museveni's NRA. Brig. Kasirye Gwanga is not a poor man by Uganda's standards. However, he can't afford to live without fleecing the army of resources and cash.
He belongs to that category of aged army officers whose motto is 'Nitakufia Jeshini" (I will die in the army) like Hussein Ada, Elly Tumwine and others who treat the military uniform as their holly religious dress code. That is how he was to rejoin the army hardly three months into retirement a few years ago.
Kasirye Gwanga is particular fond of approaching different army departments and officers in influential positions begging for free fuel, cash assistance and other supplies. The likes of Kasirye Gwanga will even go an extra mile by acquiring fatigues resembling military attire from second hand clothing markets like Owino and wear them. Some of them are a real nuisance within military circles. I have no doubt Brig. Kasirye Gwanga did not ask for retirement. He must have been retired against his will thus the protest.
Kasirye Gwanga's retirement must be a calculated move by the army to distance itself from his controversies more especially his statements over the death of Gen. Aronda, the Kasese Massacre and most recently the burning of the tractor. By claiming that Gen. Muhoozi was masquerading as the army chief, Brig. Gwanga is indirectly questioning Museveni's wisdom as the appointing authority. For that reason, the regime is praying for a situation that will make Brig. Gwanga seek Gen. Muhoozi's aid thus WHEN BRIG. KASIRYE GWANGA WILL SALUTE GEN. DAVID MUHOOZI.
Watch the space.

Pretty soon I am buying new clothes. Then new clothes again. And again. Then the dreaded stall or plateau hits. It's hard to stay motivated when you're used to seeing 4-6lbs a week fall off like magic, but I'm in it for the Long haul. I had probably 3 or 4 stalls in the last 20 months, each one took me a different tactic to overcome. Now I like to call them Milestones instead of stalls.
Some cultures and religions have restrictions concerning what foods are acceptable in their diet. For example, only Kosher foods are permitted by Judaism, and Halal foods by Islam. Although Buddhists are generally vegetarians, the practice varies and meat-eating may be permitted depending on the sects.[2] In Hinduism, vegetarianism is the ideal. Jains are strictly vegetarian and consumption of roots is not permitted.
Lots of apps and websites offer keto diet challenges—basically, a blueprint for the keto diet with a fixed starting and ending point (they typically last for a week to a month, though some may be longer). Speaking of apps, plenty of keto-centric ones are right at your fingertips (a.k.a., your smartphone), like the KetoDiet app, which can help you calculate your macros and track your keto diet effectively.
Here's what we do know: The keto diet may be useful in treating symptoms of epilepsy, a seizure disorder. "The use of keto in treating epilepsy has the most evidence," Angelone says. One study conducted by Johns Hopkins Medicine, for example, followed epileptic patients on the keto diet and found that 36 percent of them had a 50 percent reduction in seizures after three months on the diet, and 16 percent were seizure-free. However, experts aren't entirely sure why the keto diet has this affect, she adds.
Variations on the Johns Hopkins protocol are common. The initiation can be performed using outpatient clinics rather than requiring a stay in hospital. Often, no initial fast is used (fasting increases the risk of acidosis, hypoglycaemia, and weight loss). Rather than increasing meal sizes over the three-day initiation, some institutions maintain meal size, but alter the ketogenic ratio from 2:1 to 4:1.[9]
Before starting, ask yourself what is really realistic for you, Mattinson suggests. Then get your doctor's okay. You may also work with a local registered dietitian nutritionist to limit potential nutrient deficiencies and talk about vitamin supplementation, as you won't be eating whole grains, dairy, or fruit, and will eliminate many veggies. "A diet that eliminates entire food groups is a red flag to me. This isn't something to take lightly or dive into headfirst with no medical supervision," she says. https://www.instagram.com/philosophy_of_health/

Object storage is much cheaper per gigabyte than a database, is endlessly extensible, and makes a great choice for storing backups and archived data.
In this blog post I discussed storing time-series data in time-boxed Cloudant databases to allow recent data to be stored and older data to be archived and deleted. Now, this tutorial examines how to query data that is archived and backed up. The examples use data that is backed up to Object Storage using the IBM SQL Query service.
To complete this tutorial, you need the following tools:
This tutorial takes you approximately 45 minutes to complete, if you have already installed the prerequisites.
The following sections walk through getting the data into object storage, exploring the data, and converting the data to the Parquet format.
We're using the official couchbackup tool to extract data from Cloudant. It is a Node.js application and is therefore installed using the npm command-line utility:
npm install -g @cloudant/couchbackup
You can then store our Cloudant URL as an environment variable:
export COUCH_URL="<your Cloudant URL goes here>"
Assuming you are backing up a database called mydb, you invoke couchbackup with the following commands:
# make a shallow backup of the database
couchbackup --db mydb --mode shallow > mydb.txt
Aa file called mydb.txt is created. Each line of that file is an array of JSON documents – one per document in the database:
Your first job is to remove the Design Documents from this file. The IBM SQL Query service is looking for flat JSON documents – those with top-level key values and not embedded objects. You can use the jq tool to filter out documents whose _id field starts with _design:
# remove design documents from the backup file
cat mydb.txt | jq -c 'map(select(._id | startswith("_design") | not))' > mydb2.txt
The above jq command is fed the file containing multiple arrays of objects. For each array, it iterates through each document and excludes those that are design documents. The output is fed to a second text file: mydb2.txt.
The final step is to extract each line of the file (each array of documents) to its own file. Use the split command-line tool:
# split each line of mydb2.txt into its own file
split -l 1 mydb2.txt
# remove the original files
rm mydb.txt mydb2.txt
You should now have a number of files (xaa, xab, xac etc) which can be bulk uploaded into a Cloud Object Storage bucket, in this case into a bucket called mydb.
Now you have your JSON files in Cloud Object Storage, accessing them from IBM Cloud SQL Query is q breeze. You can access the data as if it were a SQL database:
-- explore the data
FROM cos://eu-gb/mydb/ STORED AS JSON
FROM cos://eu-gb/mydb/
The output data is previewed in a table in the web page, which is helpful for exploring the data. Look at the data's column headings and data types, as shown in the the following screen capture:
Before you do any serious data exploration, it's useful to complete one last data conversion: convert the JSON data into "Parquet" format. Parquet is a compressed, column-oriented format that comes from the Hadoop project. Data in this format is ideal for ad-hoc querying as it has a smaller data size and faster query performance.
Converting data to Parquet is a one-off operation that you can complete by running a single Cloud SQL Query statement:
-- convert all data in 'mydb' bucket into Parquet format
-- to be stored in the 'mydbparquet' bucket
FROM cos://eu-gb/mydb/ STORED AS JSON
INTO cos://eu-gb/mydbparquet/ STORED AS PARQUET
This example keeps the raw JSON data and the derived Parquet files in different Cloud Object storage buckets for neatness.
The result of this operation isn't a table of data in the UI. It simply writes its results to the destination bucket. Exploring the bucket in the Cloud Object Storage UI reveals the resultant objects, as shown in the following screen capture:
Notice that the 3.2MB of data is now only occupying 782KB of space as a Parquet file.
You can now direct queries towards the Parquet version of our data:
-- get top 10 populated countries below the equator
SELECT country, SUM(population)
FROM cos://eu-gb/mydbparquet/jobid=59463bdb-cd55-4df3-af7f-fcdf75fcccc8 STORED AS PARQUET
WHERE latitude < 0
You can see the result in the following screen capture:
After you get the hang of exporting Cloudant data to Object storage, converting it to Parquet and analyzing it with Cloud SQL Query, the whole operation can be scripted to run automatically. Your time-boxed Cloudant data can be archived periodically and added to your data lake for analysis.
Cloud SQL Query can do much more than outlined in this tutorial: check out its SQL Reference, Geospatial toolkit and Timeseries functions.

Milky Way over Great Sand Dunes National Park
Great Sand Dunes National Park is home to the tallest sand dunes in North America. These dunes, which rise 750 feet above the flat floor of Colorado's San Luis Valley, are nestled beneath the 14,000-foot peaks of the Sangre de Cristo Range. They're formed by wind scouring sand from the sand sheet to the west and driving it upwards until the wind can carry it no higher and it settles into graceful, towering waves of sand. Understanding the wind's diurnal pattern is the secret to photographing in the dunes. Afternoons are often viciously windy, filling the eyes, nose, mouth, and camera bag of anyone foolish enough to venture into the dune field with fine-grained grit. Mornings, on the other hand, are often blessedly calm. After a windy afternoon and evening, the entire 30-square-mile dune field is covered with freshly fallen sand, creating a sandy wonderland of sinuous dunes with textured flanks.
As marvelous as it is during the day, Great Sand Dunes National Park is even more wonderous at night. The park is one of the best dark-sky locations in Colorado. Often the wind begins to die down after sunset. At the right time of year, at the right time during a clear, moonless night, the Milky Way glows brightly in an ink-black sky. One afternoon during a trip in September 2016, I scouted the foothill dunes nestled beneath the main dune field, looking for a perfectly shaped dune that would work compositionally with the galactic center, the most photogenic part of the Milky Way, at astronomical dusk, when the sky first reaches maximum darkness. I found this untracked dune about half a mile from the road. I hoped that it was far enough off the standard route to the summit of High Dune that it would still be untracked when I returned after dark. My luck held—when I returned after sunset, the dune was still flawless. I set up two lights, one to my left and one to my right, to bring out the texture and shape of the dune, then used focus-stacking to bring everything into sharp focus. This photo remains my favorite image of the Milky Way at Great Sand Dunes National Park.

I offer over 100 images on this site, in four or five sizes each and as many as five different presentations (loose, matted-only, framed, gallery-wrap canvas, and gallery float). It is impossible to keep every size and presentation of every image in stock at all times. Accordingly, most of the items I offer for sale on GlennRandall.com are hand-built one at a time as customers order them. It normally requires between five and ten business days to complete an order, but it may take longer if I am on an extended shoot. Shipping time is in addition to these figures. To get specific information about delivery time for a particular item, please call 303 499-3009 or email me. I will do my best to accommodate rush orders. Thanks for your patience!
All photographic prints, regardless of presentation (loose, matted-only, framed, etc.) are delicate and require careful packaging to be shipped safely. Accordingly, all online purchases will have a 15 percent charge added for shipping and handling. This shipping charge only covers shipments to the continental United States. Please contact me for a quote on shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, or to international destinations. If you would like to pick up your print at my home office in Boulder rather than have it shipped, please call 303 499-3009 (office) or 720 320-7126 (mobile) to complete your purchase and make arrangements for pickup. Alternatively, I can deliver prints in the Denver metro area for $1.00 per mile based on round-trip mileage.
All matted-only and framed prints larger than 24x30 inches, all gallery-wrap canvases and gallery-float prints larger than 30x40, and all framed panoramas wider than 30 inches, are too big to be shipped via FedEx ground and too big to fit in any standard-size art box. While these prints can be shipped, they require a custom-made crate and the cost is exorbitant ($300+). I strongly suggest that all customers who live outside the Denver metro area and who wish to purchase a print larger than the maximums specified above buy the loose version and take it to the custom frame shop of their choosing. Loose prints can be shipped rolled at the standard shipping rate of 15 percent of the retail price. I will gladly provide detailed instructions to the framer on the moulding I use and my preferred method of mounting and framing the piece.
I use elegant hardwood frames on all of my framed prints. The image above right shows the frame I use for the smallest framed size of this image. I use proportionally larger frames with the same color finish for larger prints. The moulding shape will vary, depending on the size. For more information on the frames I recommend for different size prints, please visit my framing page.
I allow returns for a full refund (minus shipping) for 30 days from the date of delivery if you are dissatisfied with the print. You are responsible for the cost of shipping the print back to me, including the cost of insuring it for the full retail value, and the print must arrive in salable condition for a refund to be issued.

Students in Franco-Cité's first ever French First Nations Studies class received a special visit from June Commanda on January 10th. Commanda was invited by a student as an end-of-semester project, to talk about her experience as a former residential school student at a facility located in Spanish, Ontario.
Commanda was brought there at the age of six and stayed for five years, during which she was subjected to inhumane treatment. She recounted that her brother and sister were also brought to the school, and many of the kids there were from Manitoulin Island and Dokis First Nation, forced away from their family as she and her siblings were.
She shared a story about her sister who was punished for throwing up her breakfast, then put in a corner for many hours by a worker for not eating. She and her brother were eventually separated because he had to go to the boys' side of the school, further alienating her from her family.

When it comes to which shopping holiday will save you more—Black Friday vs. Cyber Monday—for years, Black Friday dominated, a tried and true tradition for many deal-saavy families. However, as retailers have rolled out sales on Thanksgiving (and even earlier) and more people have gravitated to online shopping, Cyber Monday has become a big draw for those who want to forgo the early wake-up call and long lines, and shop from the comfort of their couch.
The company has also invested in a number of growing firms, both in the United States and Internationally.[67][68] In 2014, Amazon purchased top level domain .buy in auction for over $4 million.[69][70] The company has invested in brands that offer a wide range of services and products, including Engine Yard, a Ruby-on-Rails platform as a service company,[71] and Living Social, a local deal site.[72]
Currently, individuals can sell goods in some 20 categories, while professional sellers have been approved to sell items in more than 15 additional categories. Individual-approved categories include books, consumer electronics, tools and home improvement, and toys and games. On the other hand, professionals must meet various requirements to sell beauty products, clothing, fine art and wine.
In 2015, Amazon surpassed Walmart as the most valuable retailer in the United States by market capitalization.[11] Amazon is the third most valuable public company in the United States (behind Apple and Microsoft),[12] the largest Internet company by revenue in the world, and after Walmart, the second largest employer in the United States.[13] In 2017, Amazon acquired Whole Foods Market for $13.4 billion, which vastly increased Amazon's presence as a brick-and-mortar retailer.[14] The acquisition was interpreted by some as a direct attempt to challenge Walmart's traditional retail stores.[15]
Barnes & Noble sued Amazon on May 12, 1997, alleging that Amazon's claim to be "the world's largest bookstore" was false because it "...isn't a bookstore at all. It's a book broker." The suit was later settled out of court and Amazon continued to make the same claim.[36] Walmart sued Amazon on October 16, 1998, alleging that Amazon had stolen Walmart's trade secrets by hiring former Walmart executives. Although this suit was also settled out of court, it caused Amazon to implement internal restrictions and the reassignment of the former Walmart executives.[36]
Look at shipping costs. While items may not cost to ship at purchase, how much does it cost to return it in case it wasn't what you're after? "If you have to pay for shipping or return shipping it may be smarter to look elsewhere because the delivery fees could cancel out the savings," says Woroch. "Knowing these details ahead of time is key to saving money and your sanity."
Our Shoprite From Home Department at ShopRite of Chews Landing offers customers a new and convenient way to shop. Instead of shopping the traditional way, in-store, you now have the option to do all your shopping online from the comfort of your own home. That's right! Once you purchase your items, our friendly Zallie's Associates will do all of your shopping for you and have it ready for your scheduled pickup or delivery time. Grocery shopping doesn't get more convenient than this! Try Shoprite from Home today!
In 1999, Amazon first attempted to enter the publishing business by buying a defunct imprint, "Weathervane", and publishing some books "selected with no apparent thought", according to The New Yorker. The imprint quickly vanished again, and as of 2014 Amazon representatives said that they had never heard of it.[37] Also in 1999, Time magazine named Bezos the Person of the Year when it recognized the company's success in popularizing online shopping.[38]
Depending on which options you choose, using an online marketplace like Amazon can make the fulfillment process easier for new and small businesses. Not only can Amazon interact with customers on your behalf, saving you time while protecting your personal and private information, but it can also handle the entire shipping process, including returns. As a result, owners can concentrate on building their businesses.
While Amazon has publicly opposed secret government surveillance, as revealed by Freedom of Information Act requests it has supplied facial recognition support to law enforcement in the form of the "Rekognition" technology and consulting services. Initial testing included the city of Orlando, Florida, and Washington County, Oregon. Amazon offered to connect Washington County with other Amazon government customers interested in Rekognition and a body camera manufacturer. These ventures are opposed by a coalition of civil rights groups with concern that they could lead to expansion of surveillance and be prone to abuse. Specifically, it could automate the identification and tracking of anyone, particularly in the context of potential police body camera integration.[204][205][206] Due to the backlash, the city of Orlando has publicly stated it will no longer use the technology.[207]
A growing number of supermarkets allow their customers to shop online for their groceries, preparing the order for pick-up or delivering it directly to their door. Shopping from home for your grocery store items is a great way to deal with this necessary chore: It's convenient, it's a time saver, and sometimes you can even take advantage of online sales not otherwise accessible.
After locating the product in Amazon's catalog, a seller will be prompted to enter information about its quality. It's important to be as truthful and accurate as possible when describing the item as one of the following: new, used-like new, used-very good, used-good or used-acceptable. You can also provide a note with pertinent details about the item. For example, you can explain that a book is in good condition save a few folded pages.
Amazon runs data centers for its online services and owns generators or purchases electricity corresponding to its consumption, mostly renewable energy.[139] Amazon contracted with Avangrid to build and operate the first wind farm in North Carolina to power Amazon's Virginia data centers. The wind farm was built and began operating in December 2016 despite opposition from President Trump and some North Carolina Republican legislators.[140][141][142][143][144]

In June 2017, Amazon announced that it would acquire Whole Foods, a high-end supermarket chain with over 400 stores, for $13.4 billion.[14][41] The acquisition was seen by media experts as a move to strengthen its physical holdings and challenge Walmart's supremacy as a brick and mortar retailer. This sentiment was heightened by the fact that the announcement coincided with Walmart's purchase of men's apparel company Bonobos.[42] On August 23, 2017, Whole Foods shareholders, as well as the Federal Trade Commission, approved the deal.[43][44]
Though more people shopped in-store and online on Black Friday 2017, Cyber Monday continues to beat Black Friday's online sales. Last year, 81 million consumers shopped on Cyber Monday, bringing in $6.59 billion for retailers. 2017 marked a year-over-year increase of nearly 17 percent and set an all-time record of the most ever spent on the digital holiday.
Associates can access the Amazon catalog directly on their websites by using the Amazon Web Services (AWS) XML service. A new affiliate product, aStore, allows Associates to embed a subset of Amazon products within another website, or linked to another website. In June 2010, Amazon Seller Product Suggestions was launched (rumored to be internally called "Project Genesis") to provide more transparency to sellers by recommending specific products to third-party sellers to sell on Amazon. Products suggested are based on customers' browsing history.[133]
