1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Lightfoot, John
LIGHTFOOT, JOHN (1602-1675), English divine and rabbinical scholar, was the son of Thomas Lightfoot, vicar of Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, and was born at Stoke-upon-Trent on the 29th of March 1602. His education was received at Morton Green near Congleton, Cheshire, and at Christ's College, Cambridge, where he was reckoned the best orator among the undergraduates. After taking his degree he became assistant master at Repton in Derbyshire; after taking orders he was appointed curate of Norton-under-Hales in Shropshire. There he attracted the notice of Sir Rowland Cotton, an amateur Hebraist of some distinction, who made him his domestic chaplain at Bellaport. Shortly after the removal of Sir Rowland to London, Lightfoot, abandoning an intention to go abroad, accepted a charge at Stone in Staffordshire, where he continued for about two years. From Stone he removed to Hornsey, near London, for the sake of reading in the library of Sion College. His first published work, entitled Erubhin, or Miscellanies, Christian and Judaical, penned for recreation at vacant hours, and dedicated to Sir R. Cotton, appeared at London in 1629. In September 1630 he was presented by Sir R. Cotton to the rectory of Ashley in Staffordshire, where he remained until June, 1642, when he went to London, probably to superintend the publication of his next work, A Few and New Observations upon the Book of Genesis: the most of them certain; the rest, probable; all, harmless, strange and rarely heard of before, which appeared at London in that year. Soon after his arrival in London he became minister of St Bartholomew's church, near the Exchange; and in 1643 he was appointed to preach the sermon before the House of Commons on occasion of the public fast of the 29th of March. It was published under the title of Elias Redioivus, the text being Luke i. 17; in it a parallel is drawn between the Baptist's ministry and the work of reformation which in the preacher's judgment was incumbent on the parliament of his own day.
Lightfoot was also one of the original members of the Westminster Assembly; his "]ournal of the Proceedings of the Assembly of Divines from January 1, 1643 to December 31, 1644, " now printed in the thirteenth volume of the 8vo edition of his Works, is a valuable historical source for the brief period to which it relates. He was assiduous in his attendance, and, though frequently standing almost or quite alone, especially in the Erastian controversy, he exercised a material influence on the result of the discussions of the Assembly. In 1643 Lightfoot published A H andful of Gleanings out of the Book of Exodus, and in the same year he was made master of Catharine Hall by the parliamentary visitors of Cambridge, and also, on the recommendation of the Assembly, was promoted to the rectory of Much Munden in Hertfordshire; both appointments he retained until his death. In 1644 was published in London the first instalment of the laborious but never completed work of which the full title runs The Harmony of the Four Evangelists among themselves, and with the Old Testament, with an explanation of the chiefest dzjiculties both in Language and Sense: Part I. From the beginning of the Gospels to the Baptism of our Saviour. The second part From the Baptism of our Saviour to the first Passover after followed in 1647, and the third From the first Passover after our Saviour's Baptism to the second in 16 5o. On the 26th of August 1645 he again preached before the House of Commons on the day of their monthly fast. His text was Rev. xx. 1, 2. After controverting the doctrine of the Millenaries, he urged various practical suggestions for the repression with a strong hand of current blasphemies, for a thorough revision of the authorized version of the Scriptures, for the encouragement of a learned ministry, and for a speedy settlement of the church. In the same year appeared A Commentary upon the Acts of the Apostles, chronical and critical; the Dipziculties of the text explained, and the times of the Story cast into annals. From the beginning of the Book to the end of the Twelfth Chapter. With a brief survey of the contemporary Story of the Jews and Romans (down to the third year of Claudius). In 1647 he published The Harmony, Chronicle, and Order of the Old Testament, which was followed in 1655 by The Harmony, Chronicle, and Order of the New Testament, inscribed to Cromwell. In 1654 Lightfoot had been chosen vice-chancellor of the university of Cambridge, but continued to reside by preference at Munden, in the rectory of which, as well as in the mastership of Catharine Hall, he was confirmed at the Restoration. The remainder of his life was devoted to helping Brian Walton with the Polyglot Bible (1657) and to his own best-known work, the H orae H ebraicae et T almudicae, in which the volume relating to Matthew appeared in 1658, that relating to Mark in 1663, and those relating to 1 Corinthians, John and Luke, in 1664, 1671 and 1674 respectively. While travelling from Cambridge to Ely where he had been collated in 1668 by Sir Orlando Bridgman to a prebendal stall), he caught a severe cold, and died at Ely on the 6th of December 1675. The H orae H ebraicae et Talmudicae impensae in Acta A postolorum et in Ep. S. Pauli ad Romanos were published posthumously.
The Works of Lightfoot were first edited, in 2 vols. fol., by G. Bright and Strype in 1684; the Opera Omnia, cura Joh. Texelii, appeared at Rotterdam in 1686 (2 vols. fol.), and again, edited by J. Leusden, at Franeker in 1699 (3 vols. fol.). A volume of Remains was published at London in 1700. The Hor. Hebr. et Talm. were also edited in Latin by Carpzov (Leipzig, 1675-1679), and again, in English, by Gandelll/ISOxford, 1859). The most complete edition is that of the Whole orks, in 13 vols. 8vo. edited, with a life, by R. Pitman (London, 1822-1825). It includes, besides the works already noticed, numerous sermons, letters and miscellaneous writings; and also The Temple, especially as it stood in the Days of our Saviour (London, 165O).
Sec D. M. Welton, John Lightfoot, the Hebraist (Leipzig, 1878).

|Jar Full Of Christmas
Added on 12/04/2017
|Such quality and quantity at such a low price is only at CBV. Check the prices on other companies' wax melts that are not in holiday shapes, and you can see what a bargain this is. I do not know how much each of the melts weighs, but, for those of us who like plenty of intense scent, they are certainly hefty enough to drop just one into a warmer and let that throw grow. The candle-shaped and bell-shaped melts are perfect 1960's retro chic, and the tree-shaped melts make me wish that CBV offered a "Jar Full of Trees!"
|Deck The Halls
Added on 12/04/2017
|The spruce and ozone notes are soft and natural, and the way that the fruity notes are played off of them is indeed amazing. This is a fresh, predominantly evergreen scent, not resinous or "perfumey," even though it has pine and geranium notes. When I smell this, I think of garland made with spruce boughs and winter berries. Scent throw from the wax melts is excellent, but do not assume that a strong scent throw comes only from a very strong scent; many of CBV's light, fresh or mellow scents have great warm throw, and this is one of them. If you like the natural smell of evergreens, but single-note spruce, pine or balsam candles overwhelm your nose, try Deck the Halls. This would be a good scent to use at Christmas parties and holiday dinners because it is a festive scent that would not compete with the aromas of food. The wax is medium mint green in color.
|Pepperberry Wreath
Added on 11/30/2017
|There are many, many American wax addicts who still miss Winter Garland, a BBW scent which was discontinued a few years ago. If you are one of them, try this scent! Like Winter Garland, Pepperberry Wreath has orange, evergreen, cedar and berry notes, and my nose tells me that the main difference (and it is not a very big one) between the two scents is that Pepperberry Wreath has a musk note. I have been a CBV customer for more than five years, and this is one of my favorite CBV Christmas scents. After only one use, I decided that I will buy this scent again, and it will probably always be one of my all-time favorite Christmas home fragrance scents.
Added on 11/18/2017
|One of my new favorite scents! Highly recommend it. Want it in more scents and want to create a CAS.
|Fair Day
Added on 11/16/2017
|Smells yummy! I cut a small peice (maybe about 1/8 of the scent shot) and i could smell it throughout the enitre downstairs of my house!
|Get Me S'more
Added on 11/14/2017
|I knew this was a risky scent for me since I usually steer clear of anything trying to smell like chocolate, but I love s'mores. To me, it really just smells like a slightly complex tootsie roll. I was hoping to pick up on the graham cracker and marshmallow a little more, and I am a little underwhelmed by this scent. It's not at all unpleasant and the scent throw is amazing--one 16oz permeates my entire downstairs--but it's not my favorite.
|Santa's Whiskers
Added on 11/14/2017
|This one is really yummy, and the description is pretty much spot on. It smells like a sugar/gingerbread cookie hybrid, but without being too sickly sweet. I think the scent throw is a little less than some other Candles By Victoria I've experienced.
|Witch's Brew
Added on 11/14/2017
|I can't believe I waited this long to try this scent. It's juicy, slightly spicy, and complex. I absolutely love this scent.
|Amish Quilt
Added on 11/03/2017
|Being from Lancaster, PA, I can fully attest that this smells like an Amish quilt, and what I picture a country home to smell like in fall. I received a 4oz jar, and upon a cold smell, the subtle clove and allspice. When I burned the candle, the spiciness was still there, however the vanilla balanced it out nicely. Great strong scent, but not overpowering. Definitely a favorite for fall!
|Chai Tea
Added on 11/03/2017
|I received a 4oz jar of the Chai Tea candle. Upon a cold sniff, the candle is light tea and vanilla smell. Burning the candle released a lot more of the scents. My mom isn't a fan of Chai Tea (drinking it), but she really loved the smell of the candle. The candle wasn't very strong, but I was burning the candle in a room that is really open, and was two rooms over. A nice, sensitive scent that might be best in a closed or smaller space. However, I still really love this scent and would buy it again.
|Apples & Oaks
Added on 11/03/2017
|I received Apples & Oaks in the 4oz Mini Sampler Pack, and what a wonderful choice! This was probably one of my favorite scents in the six I chose. On a cold smell, the candle throws a tart apple smell. Upon burning, the tartness of the apple was there, along with a slight woody scent, so it's not overly fruity. I was also able to catch whiffs of the scent when I was burning it two rooms away, so it throws some great scent, but it is not overpowering. Definitely great for an early fall/ autumn scent, and I cannot wait to buy a bigger size!
|Cinnamon Raisin Bread
Added on 11/01/2017
|This is smells so yummy! Makes me hungry when melting this scent! I love CBV bakery and cinnamon scents and this one is another new favorite. Highly recommend this strong comforting scent
|Comfort - Sinful Strawberry Shortcake
Added on 10/31/2017
|A spectacular and splendid strawberry dream! My daughter and I are in awe of this beautiful candle! Smells wonderfully like crust and sweet strawberry cake!
|Bake Shoppe - Banana Coconut Dream
Added on 10/31/2017
|I am in absolute candle heaven! This is the sweetest and tastiest looking and smelling candle ever! Even my husband loves it! Well done Victoria and family! <3 <3
|Grape Soda
Added on 10/27/2017
|This is my absolute favorite scent so far. Super throw, but not overwhelming. Will definitely keep reordering this one :-)
|Pepperberry Wreath
Added on 10/21/2017
|When Salt City went out of business I panicked because it wouldn't be Christmas without their Pepperberry Wreath scent in my house. I contacted Victoria and gave her the description of the scent and my own recollections of it. She completely duplicated the exact scent! I compared it to the SAlt City one I still had a bit of and they're identical! Christmas is saved!
|Vanilla Cedar
Added on 10/18/2017
|Not quite "ski lodge" Cedar-y, but a very strong, pleasant "woodsy" scent
|Mustard Jar Candle - CAS
Added on 10/17/2017
|Perfect burn all the way down with a great throw. Although its double wicked it burns for a good while. It retains the heat and makes for a really clean burn, no wasted wax.
|Leather & Lace
Added on 10/16/2017
|This always stays on my favorites list. It is the perfect blend. I don't know what the 'feminine touch' is... maybe vanilla?? But, it is very pretty. I can't imagine this scent being offensive to anyone. A great unisex scent! I have it in a large cube candle & it is more than 3/4 gone. It is time to definitely replace it with another one. I wouldn't want to be without this scent in a candle.

The previous section explored a variety of mechanisms that might be involved in abrupt climate change. However, because sudden change in the THC stands as the only well-developed theory to explain abrupt climate changes, such as the Younger Dryas and the Dansgaard/Oeschger and Heinrich events, we now investigate this phenomenon in greater detail. This is not intended to imply that other mechanisms in this rapidly evolving field will not be found that could also contribute substantially to abrupt climate change, but only that models for other such mechanisms are not as mature as for THC changes.

I had more bananas I needed to use up and came across Pam's recipe for Banana Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins. It looked so yummy I had to make a batch! I also wanted to include some buttermilk in here so I added some, and I added a half more cup of flour as I wanted to make more than 12 muffins (I got ~20 with these measurements). These came out so delicious and moist. You can really taste the banana and peanut butter. The chocolate chips and the turbinado sugar sprinkling were an added bonus. Fantastic for breakfast or snack in the afternoon —yum!

Grapefruit Rosemary Teacake
I bet I know what you're thinking. Grapefruit and rosemary? Really?!!!? Well, wipe that weird look off your face. It's not as weird as it sounds. Actually, these two ingredients pair nicely together in this teacake. The rosemary is not overpowering and you can really taste the flavor of the grapefruit. What made this really tasty was the glaze. Do not, I repeat, DO NOT skimp on the glaze. It really makes this teacake stand out.
Nutella Brownie Cups
Baking, for the most part, takes up a good few hours of my day. I don't mind it but on the days when I do bake, dinner sometimes can get neglected. We either eat leftovers or something super quick.
Well, today's recipe will have you in and out of the kitchen in less than an hour! And yes, this includes clean-up. Yay! I just love those kinds of recipes, don't you? And you'll still have plenty of time to make dinner.
Cinnamon Ricotta Banana Cake
I finally finished up the last couple of black bananas —yay! They were really ripe but that's OK. The recipe calls for ripe bananas! This cake has all my favorite ingredients —bananas, cinnamon, ricotta, and chocolate chips. I added the pecans in here to give it texture but you can totally leave it out if you are not a nut person.
Had it for dessert after dinner and it was the perfect ending to the meal. Of course, you can have it before dinner or for dinner if you choose to. I won't judge. 🙂
Buttermilk Banana Bread
This morning, I was pleasantly surprised to find that my Haemul Pajeon (Korean Seafood Pancake) was mentioned in The Guardian UK! Thanks to the lovely and talented Claire over at Under the Blue Gum tree for submitting her adaptation of this recipe to tailor towards the 5:2 Diet. If you haven't been to her site, head over there now to check out some of Claire's mouthwatering recipes!
Banana Crumb Cake
It's that time again when I have leftover bananas that's overly ripe and no one here will touch them. They're at the point where they won't last another day. When I peeled it, half of it fell off —that's how overly ripe it was. To be honest, I prefer banana cakes, bread, muffins, etc. over the actual bananas. If you make this you'll see why I prefer to bake with them. This will also be a great addition to your Easter brunch, if you're hosting one. Happy Friday!
Oreo White Chocolate Chip Blondies
My first attempt at making scones yesterday failed miserably. Not only was it unappealing, it was a bit on the dry side. There's something about baking where you have to knead and/or shape the actual dough that frightens me. I'm sure I will eventually take another stab at it but it won't be anytime soon.
So this morning, I was back in the kitchen again. I wanted to bake for Hanna, my Massage Therapist who has been working with me on my back pain issues. She has been such a tremendous help that I wanted to thank her. I was so relieved that these blondies turned out so well! After yesterday's kitchen faux pas, I was a bit worried. So if you're hankering for something sweet and if you like Oreos (who doesn't?), you'll love these!
Blood Orange Buttermilk Chocolate Chip Muffins
I've been missing our breakfast muffins lately so I decided to bake a batch of these. I had a sack of blood oranges I need to use up so expect to see a few more recipes with blood oranges in it. Aren't they pretty? I just LOVE the color!
These muffins turned out really well. I love the texture and the flavor. Orange and chocolate pair so well together. And when you have some tea or coffee with this, it's fabulous! Chris and I couldn't wait 'til morning. We each had one before dinner with our tea. It made our bellies happy. Who says you can't have dessert before dinner? 🙂
Peanut Butter Cup Banana Bread + Giveaway!
I had some ripe bananas I wanted to use up but I didn't want to make just banana bread. I also had some milk and dark chocolate peanut butter cups on hand too. Which makes for a nice jazzed up banana bread! And who doesn't like peanut butter cups?
Biscoff Coffee Cake
I recently discovered Biscoff spread and Biscoff cookies. For those of you who aren't familiar with Biscoff spread or cookies, they are a Speculoos/Speculaas cookie spread made with butter, brown sugar and spices. They taste similar to gingersnaps, and have a consistency like peanut butter. The name Biscoff came from the words BIScuits and COFFee (source: Biscoff.com and Baking Bites).
I recently started drinking more tea and just absolutely love pairing it with Biscoff cookies. Since it's that good, why not bake with it? If you like gingersnaps, you'll love this cookie and spread. And if you love the cookie and spread, you'll love this coffee cake!

I'm not saying i am not expecting the game this year, in fact i do, i only stated that still needs to be confirmed with a name and a date. It won't be the first game, even from Nintendo, getting delayed in similar fashion.

Here are the sales for the relevant 3DS titles:
Pokemon X/Y - 16.37M
Animal Crossing: New Leaf - 12.10M
Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon - 5.75M
On Nintendo's previous handheld, Animal Crossing was bigger than Smash and both Luigi's Mansion and Fire Emblem were individually bigger than Mario Party, so it's strange how confident you are that 2018's lineup has more selling potential than 2019's. Unless you think that Pokemon Let's Go will sell more than Pokemon Gen 8, but I don't think even the most desperate detractors would argue something like that.
I'm very curious: How much do you think 2019's games will have shipped by the end of the year? In particular, Animal Crossing, Pokemon Gen 8, Luigi's Mansion 3, and Fire Emblem: Three Houses.
I don't know how much all thsee games will sell combined, but if you ask me those individually ....let me think....
Just in 2019 (shipment numbers):
Animal Crossing, no more than 10M (more difficult to know because it depends on when it launch)
Pokemon Gen 8 around 12-15M (if it launch in November)
Luigi's Mansion less than 5M but getting close
Fire Emblem just around 2M.
But some of these game depends on when they launch, so it's difficult to know exactly. If i knew the dates i would be more specific.

Central Bank Of Nigeria (2008) estimated that only 2.5% of The loans offered by commercial banks is directed at agriculture. Thus, The Nigerian government has developed other ways to finance Agriculture. These includes:
i. The Nigerian Agricultural Cooperative Bank (NACB)
ii. Farmers Credit Scheme (FCS)
iii. Family Economic Advancement Programme (FEAP),
iv. Women, Youths Empowerment Scheme (WYES).
Oruonye and Musa ( 2012) researched some of the challenges of Microcredit In Nigeria. The research showed some of the problems faced by farmers in Nigeria as regarding the use and access to microcredit. the problems are summarized thus:
1. Amount given is too small
2. High interest rate
3 Defaulting in payment
4 Delay in approval of government loan
The result showed that delay In the approval of loans and high interest rate where the biggest challenges faced by farmers.
Kuye ( 2015) studied the some cassava farmers from south-south Nigeria who were beneficiaries of agric loan from 2012-2014. The result showed that non-repayment of loan by farmers, high default rate, inadequate monitoring and evaluation, illiteracy of farmers and lack of farmers' awareness about bank products (innovation) were among the greatest constraints that hinder loan administration by bank officials in the study area.
His research showed a repayment rate of between 72-85% for small scale farmers and 80-97% for medium scale farmers.
Bankers Farmers (BF) platform seeks to validate Farmers credibility and collateral for loan acquisition from financial institutions while ensuring that both the farmer and the Bank's interest are protected.
BF works on the Principle that farmers who are registered on this platform provide their lands, labour and experience while the banks provide the capital. The proceeds from the farm is now shared in agreed percentages.
It helps spread the risk of loan acquisition: The banks have a higher stake and so employ necessary technology and information to support farmers. The farmers also ( who must have use their Land as collateral) would do their best to protect investments.
It reduces the incidence to loan repayment: Banks would not have to wait for farmers to bring back their money to them after selling their produce but can take their percentage of produce at the end of the harvest season and sell.
It reduces the incidence of loan diversion: Loans can be given in kind, not necessarily cash e.g agricultural inputs. This would reduce the tendency to divert cash.
Better exposure to markets: the banks have higher exposure to technology and information which they can use to find better markets for their farmers. Banks could be in a better position to position platforms that connect buyers to farmers thus acting as middlemen to the farmers. They can run Foodbanks or Cropbanks in addition to money banks where people can source for Produce. This can go a long way to improve the livelihood of farmers.
in Nigeria, banks have been involved in General Insurance, health insurance real estate project as well as other investments. But to grow our economy in a way that it affects the masses, there is need to get more involved in the popular occupation of the masses-agriculture.
The Bankers' Farmer platform seeks to give Banks the opportunity to participate more in agriculture to enable them better protect their investments while ensuring that the capital needed to invest in agriculture is provided.

How to make the most of a wedding fayre
Planning for a wedding starts from the moment you are engaged. With so much to think about, plan, book and buy, the earlier you start the better. If you are not sure where to start when it comes to your big day, then you might want to head to a wedding fayre.
Wedding fayres are held in venues up and down the country. They bring together suppliers of all types, ready to showcase just how they can help you to have the best wedding possible. The only trouble, is how to make the most of these events? Particularly if you are new to them and feel a little overwhelmed by the idea.
To help you, we have put together our guide on how to make the most of a wedding fayre.
Watch the catwalk
If you are still yet to decide on the right type of dress, then heading to the catwalk is a must. Here you will see a number of different dresses, accessories and footwear, as well as gain some inspiration for wedding hair and make up styles. The guys can even get in on the act, as they will often feature groomsmen style too.
Never rush
One of the most important things that you can do is to make sure that you take your time when at a wedding fayre. Depending on the size of the event, there is a good chance that you will spend quite a few hours there and the last thing you will want is to miss a showcase or not talk to a supplier and ask all the questions you want, just because you are in a rush.
Soak up everything
You might think that some parts of the wedding fayre are not going to apply to you, and whilst this is true, it doesn't mean you can miss them out. Sit down and watch that live band, they might give you inspiration on some live music for your big day. Try the different cakes on offer, you never know what you might like until you see it for yourself.
Ask questions
The main point of any wedding fayre is that it gives you a chance to talk to different suppliers. Whilst you may worry about chatting to people, this is your aim. Ask any questions you may have and gain as much information as possible. The last thing you will want to do is head home only to realise you didn't find out as much as you wanted.
Have fun
The best tip that we can give you when it comes to wedding fayre is to have fun. It may sound simple, but so many couples forget to enjoy the entire experience of planning a wedding. Hopefully you will only do it once, so it should be something that you really make an effort to enjoy, each and every step of the way.

Tesla Model 3 Unplugged – Summer edition
This is a follow up to my previous post about monitoring the phantom drain of my Model 3's battery as it sat parked for an extended period of time last winter.
Over 7 weeks this summer I remotely monitored the charge state of my car while I was away on vacation. During this time the state of charge dropped from 85% to 72%, meaning I saw not quite 2% of battery drain per week as the car sat parked in the garage.
The charge state was checked weekly using the Tesla app, thus allowing the car to remain at its low power sleep state for longer durations than during my last experiment when I took daily readings. I believe this explains why the drain was significantly lower this time around.
Car specification: Long Range Rear Wheel Drive Tesla Model 3, firmware version 2019.20.4, Sentry mode disabled.

We help you with the procedures so that you can take advantage of the incentives available
Would you like to benefit from the different incentives offered by public institutions? We will make the process easier for you. How? By doing all the hard work for you. We are aware that when you invest in a foreign country, you may come up against barriers such as the language or lack of knowledge of the country that hinder project viability.
One of the points where lack of knowledge may be most harmful is in applying for incentives and carrying out formalities in order to be able to take advantage of these programmes. If we do not have the advice and support of an expert, we might miss out on subsidies which would otherwise give the financing of our project a boost. Or worse, we might waste time on procedures to take advantage of certain programmes that may not adapt to our characteristics and that we are not going to benefit from.
If you do not want this to happen and what you want is to be able to take advantage of all existing aid programmes, without wasting time, you need to contact us. All you have to do is tell us about your project, detaining its characteristics, and we will take care of the rest.
Incentives brochureWe are here to support your project
We look for subsidy programmes that fit your business
There are many incentives offered by public institutions. They might be programmes promoted by the European Union, by the Spanish Government, by the Basque Government itself or by the Regional Governments of each of the Basque Historical Territories. The subsidy may also vary depending on the type of company incorporated, its size, the sector it belongs to or the type of service provided.
As you can see, the list may be quite long and doing all the work yourself can take a long time and give you headaches. The solution? Let one of our experts take charge of the entire process. After analyzing your project, we will locate all incentives that match the characteristics of your company and will advise you to take advantage of them.
And what about the procedures to apply for incentives
We will also take care of all the formalities for you. Once the aid programmes have been detected, we will ask you to provide us with the information required. Gathering this information will be your only concern. We will take charge of everything else.
Why waste time searching for and processing subsidy programmes? Why risk missing out on financial aid only because you don't know about it? Wouldn't it be better if you only had to worry about taking advantage of each incentive? Think no more about it, contact us now and let this work be done by others.

Consecutive Conundrum (The Obscuriosity Series: #3) by Diamond J
This hand-crafted wooden box with eight square pegs will drive you crazy!
The object is to arrange the pegs (numbers 1-8) such that no consecutive number touches on any connecting line. For example number 1 cannot connect with number 2; number 2 cannot connect with 3 or 1; number 5 cannot connect with 4 or 6; etc. It's an intriguing puzzle that draws people in. It looks easy but once you start rearranging the pegs the complexity of the task reveals itself.
Limited supply.
Measures 4.5" by 3" by 1.5"
I love all things Martin Gardner as he was a mentor and friend. The idea for this conundrum came from his book: The Colossal Book of Short Puzzles and Problems, 2006. Gardner wrote, "This perplexing digit problem, inventor unknown, was passed on to me by L. Vosburg Lyons of New York City (February 1962). There is only one solution but if you try to find it without a logical procedure the task will be difficult. A digital computer running through all possible permutations of the digits finds 40,320 different arrangements possible." I've found there are actually four solutions but each one of those is a mirror of the one true solution.
This wooden puzzle is made of hardwood and built to last a lifetime. The pegs were made square to keep the numbers oriented properly. The numbers are laser engraved, not inked, so they will last. Comes with a base and cover. The cover has the title and instructions laser engraved into the surface. This is something you'll proudly display on your desk. You will also enjoy watching others being perplexed by it.
Made in the USA.

Daring Greatly
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again,
Because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause;
Who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly..."
-Theodore Roosevelt
I'm reading the new book by Brene Brown called, "Daring Greatly: How the courage to be vulnerable transforms the way we live, love, parent and lead" I'm excited about this book because it goes along with a new lesson God has been speaking to me about in the area of vulnerability. For me, vulnerability is weakness. Weakness = not good enough. God is changing that mindset for me.
We'll see how it goes...

The UK's publication on Tuesday of its Green Finance Strategy should be commended. It has taken some time, since the government set up its Green Finance Taskforce in 2016 to investigate this area — but it is important, indeed essential, that government has now unambiguously taken responsibility for driving progress.
Much more cheering than this is a wider change. The UK government, like others, is now responding to the challenge of climate change by moving towards long term planning for the economy. This does not mean boom and bust are a thing of the past, or that governments will no longer be tempted to put short-term urges first.
But the fact that the UK now has a long-term Clean Growth Strategy, a 25 Year Environment Plan, a National Adaptation Plan, and has enshrined in the Climate Change Act the commitment to get to net zero carbon emissions by 2050 means that at last, policymakers are thinking beyond the electoral cycle about how to move the economy in a consistent way towards a sustainable model. This is hugely encouraging.
The Green Finance Strategy is another piece of the puzzle. Its structure is clear, and all its themes are right. It has three parts: Greening Finance, Financing Green (yes, they are different) and Capturing the Opportunity.
Greening Finance is about ensuring environmental risks and opportunities are integrated into mainstream financial decision making, and that markets for green financial products are robust. Financing Green means accelerating finance to deliver the UK's carbon and clean growth targets, as well as international objectives. Capturing the Opportunity is about ensuring the UK finance sector is ahead of the pack.
The Green Finance Strategy will be reviewed and upgraded over time. That is vital. Because at the moment, although it is pointing in the right direction, it does not have nearly enough oomph to be the game changing reform we urgently need.
Many worthy measures are proposed, but most of them mean more talk — albeit better quality talk — rather than immediate action.
At the City of London's third Green Finance Summit on Tuesday, where the Strategy and the UK's new Green Finance Institute were launched, the usual disconnect was visible. All the speakers, from government and the private sector, emphasised the vital need to transition to a sustainable economy. Several said this would involve a complete and unprecedented transformation of society.
All are aware of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's report last year, which laid out the horrifying effects of global warming going beyond 1.5C — a disaster that seems virtually inevitable, since global emissions need to fall by at least 45% in the next 12 years, yet are still rising.
Yet very few of those making investment and lending decisions have adjusted their portfolios to anything like the extent required to shift the economy fast enough.
JP Morgan sponsored the event, and Matthew Arnold, its global head of sustainable finance, was asked why the bank was still criticised for financing fossil fuels. A report in March found that the US firm had provided $195bn of financing to fossil fuels since the Paris Agreement was signed, more than any other bank. The top 33 had provided $1.9tr between them — an average of over $600bn a year.
Arnold was not fazed — he said the bank was "super-big", had cut coal mine financing to less than $1bn a year, and reduced the carbon intensity of its power portfolio by 30%. It was also the biggest green bank, with about $35bn a year of financing.
On the same panel was Steve Waygood, chief responsible investment officer at Aviva Investors and one of the investment industry's thought leaders on sustainability, who has helped design both EU and UK policy. Using an International Energy Agency estimate of $1tr of investment a year to achieve zero carbon, Waygood said that was the equivalent of four times the post-war Marshall Plan and Apollo space programme combined.
If that kind of investment was needed in the private sector, you would expect the finance director to have a plan on how to raise the money, Waygood argued. But "look at the world financial system — there is no finance director. The UN, for all its strengths, isn't yet convening the Marshall Plan for the planet."
Yet the sum required is not huge, compared with the $300tr Waygood quoted for the total value of world capital markets.
Aviva, with £340bn of assets under management (perhaps 0.14% of the world total), has been putting £500m a year into new green infrastructure — about a third of its share of the required $1tr a year.
Thus even the most sophisticated financial institutions, with the best chance of understanding the issues, and which ought to be — perhaps are — leading the way, are still doing only a fraction of what they can see is needed to achieve the financial and economic transition to sustainability.
Either they do not want to change fast enough, or there are barriers stopping them. Either way, the Green Finance Strategy ought to be jolting the system into action.
Instead, the headline announcement in the Strategy is that the government will apply moral suasion to ask all listed companies and large asset owners to report in line with the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures by 2022. The TCFD is a useful and necessary initiative, but it falls far short of grabbing the Old Economy by the arm and frogmarching it to the exit.
The TCFD asks all companies to publish their strategies for dealing with climate change, to help investors move capital away from climate risk and towards opportunities. But will a self-reported assessment of how climate will affect, say, BP, make all that much difference to investors? It is blindingly obvious that, at least for now, financing oil companies is funding climate change. If investors want to stop doing that, they can do so now.
As Mary Robinson, former president of Ireland and UN climate change envoy, said at the Summit: "we need to get out of coal, first of all, but also oil and gas" — adding "we've got to keep faith with the science".
It is still taken as gospel that gas is better than coal, even though evidence is mounting that methane leaks take away much or all of the benefit.
There are reforms to the financial sector that could help. Waygood mentioned reforming Solvency II to encourage insurance companies to invest in infrastructure instead of corporate bonds and shares. An enlightened means of getting savers more connected with the use of their money could unleash a wave of capital for socially useful ends. Above all, clear, long-term national financing plans for the transition would show the private sector where to put its money.
But for the moment, the UK government in its Green Finance Strategy is tiptoeing around the issue with proposals to establish standards and improve disclosures. It's all good, but may in its effects be little better than prevaricating.
If the finance industry will not force the transition on its own, and government is not going to force the finance industry, it is time for the people to force both of them. As Robinson said: "Get angry and get active — get angry with those with responsibility, who aren't taking their responsibility — industry, business should be doing more."

Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals Inc, branded as Jefferson Health, is a multi-state non-profit health system whose flagship hospital is Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in Center City, Philadelphia. The health system's hospitals serve as the teaching hospitals of Thomas Jefferson University. Although two separate entities, Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson Health are combined together under the same leadership that includes a single board of directors[4].
Originally formed in 1825 as the Infirmary of the Jefferson Medical College, the predecessor of the Hospital of Jefferson Medical College, Thomas Jefferson University Hospital serves patients in Philadelphia and the surrounding communities in the Delaware Valley and southern New Jersey.
The Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals system has 957 licensed acute care beds. Services are provided at five locations — the main hospital facility and Jefferson Hospital for Neuroscience, both in Center City Philadelphia; Methodist Hospital in South Philadelphia; Jefferson at the Navy Yard, just past the sports complex; and Jefferson-Voorhees in South Jersey.
Formerly a division of Thomas Jefferson University, the Hospital was separated from the University to become a founding member of the Jefferson Health system in 1995. The Hospital merged with Methodist Hospital as a division of Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals in 1996.[5] In March 2014, the Jefferson Health System was dissolved "in order for (TJUH) to move forward" and "be nimble and agile, but also not be constrained by a corporate relationship that in some respects put some limits on what we could do," according to Stephen K. Klasko, Jefferson's President and Chief Executive of both Thomas Jefferson University and the parent Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals Inc.[6]
For fiscal year ending June 30, 2017, Thomas Jefferson University Hospitals had 937 licensed beds, 41,368 admissions, 1,350,317 outpatient visits, 117,746 emergency room visits, 9,500 full- and part-time employees, 873 house staff, 1,667* medical staff, and 3,265 full- and part-time registered nurses. (*Includes other professional personnel including psychologists, podiatrists, NPs, PAs, CRNAs, etc.) [7]
In July 2017, Thomas Jefferson University and Philadelphia University combined to create the newly named Jefferson (Philadelphia University + Thomas Jefferson University), "creating a national comprehensive university designed to deliver high-impact education and value for students in medicine, science, architecture, design, fashion, textiles, health, business, engineering and more."
Jefferson Health comprises the hospitals of:
- Thomas Jefferson University Hospital
- Jefferson Hospital for Neuroscience
- Jefferson Methodist Hospital
- Abington – Lansdale Hospital
- Abington Hospital (formerly Abington Memorial Hospital)
- Jefferson Bucks Hospital (formerly part of Aria Health)
- Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital
- Jefferson Frankford Hospital (formerly part of Aria Health)
- Jefferson Stratford Hospital
- Jefferson Torresdale Hospital (formerly part of Aria Health)
- Jefferson Washington Township Hospital

Medical milestones and innovations[edit]
- In 1826, Franklin Bache, a professor of chemistry at Thomas Jefferson University, became the first researcher in the United States to conduct organized studies using acupuncture therapy.[15]
- In 1881, William Thomson invented a standard test for color blindness.[16]
- Jacob da Silva Solis-Cohen performed the first successful laryngotomy for vocal cord cancer in 1868. A laryngotomy is a procedure which involves cutting into the larynx in order to assist respiration when the upper part of the airway has been restricted.[17]
- Frank H. Krusen is regarded as the "father" of the physical medicine and rehabilitation field - a branch of medicine that aims to restore functional ability and quality of life to those with physical deficiencies or disabilities.[18]
- John H. Gibbon Jr. conceived and developed the world's first successful heart-lung machine in 1953. The heart-lung machine is a device that temporarily takes over the function of the heart and lungs during surgery. He also performed multiple open heart surgeries which revolutionized heart surgery in the twentieth century.[19]
- George J. Haupt invented the Jefferson Ventilator in 1957 while a resident at Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. Dr. Haupt developed and patented the mechanical ventilator used during surgeries to inflate the patient's lungs and discharge carbon dioxide accumulated in the blood because the patient could not exhale.[20]
- In 1965, Barry B. Goldberg, a professor of Radiology at Jefferson Medical College, was deemed a pioneer in ultrasound technology. Ultrasound imaging is a technique that enables the viewing of several body structures including tendons, muscles, joints, and internal organs.[21]
- In 1972, Norman Lasker, a professor of Medicine at Jefferson Medical College, invented the Jefferson Cycler—the first at-home self-treatment device for dialysis patients. Dialysis is the process of removing waste and excess water from the blood and is used as an artificial replacement for lost kidney function.[22]
- Charles Klieman developed the modern surgical stapler in 1982, as well as the first articulating laparoscopic instrument in 1986. These are scissors that allow surgeons to choose an extremely precise angle of cut.[23]
- On March 19, 2007, Drs. Scott Silvestry and Linda Bogar were the first in Pennsylvania to implant the Jarvik 2000® Heart Assist System to save the life of a cardiac patient.[24]

Is There Equity in Canadian Mental Healthcare?
There is humanity, compassion, and respect throughout Canadian healthcare for people who suffer from mental illness. But the systems of healthcare we have in Canada do not seek success in life for our most vulnerable, voiceless, and who are marginalized by the very nature of their illness. Here is why:
Many Canadians, because there isn't adequate funding for appropriate treatment, do not have access to appropriate mental health care.
Complex decisions for patient care continue to be led by non-specialists in mental health while the same would be alarming if allowed in cardiac, cancer, or even diabetes care.
While mental health research is often the precursor to new cost-effective innovations that are ultimately introduced into the health system, The Canadian Institutes of Health Research devote less than 5% of grant-based funding to mental health research while the burden of mental health stands at more than 10%. (ref.)
In March 2017 Canada's federal government earmarked $5 billion specifically for mental health, bringing funding closer to a level that most in the profession consider absolutely necessary to deal with the scope of needs in our country. This will go a long way to enable equity in our systems but outcomes for people must become the focus if we are ever going to get close to the equitable society many of us dream of for the people we love.
Equity seeks to provide people with what they need to succeed
As I stated in my last post, equality ignores that if our realities are different, than our needs are different. And if our needs are different then how can the same solutions satisfy both of us?!
Equity recognizes that we are all different but living in the same world of varying advantages and disadvantages.
Equity seeks to provide people with what they need to succeed. It is about fairness and it is the only approach for people who can't bear to see others be left behind by factors in life which they did not choose for themselves.
Outcomes are measured in better lives
We don't have a healthcare system to employ people, we have a healthcare system to make life better for Canadians. To remove the impediments of ill health to living better, more empowered lives.
While better lives are the measure that matters, healthcare systems measure delivery of services rather than the positive or negative impact of those services on the lives of patients. With illnesses of the mind that require ongoing, often life-long, treatment this measure of outputs instead of outcomes keeps us focused on the people and resources of the system rather than the people we serve and their experiences of improved health.
We need to work with the information we have. According to the CAMH, Of Canadians aged 15 or older who report having a mental health care need in the past year, one third state that their needs were not fully met and only about half of Canadians experiencing a major depressive episode receive ''potentially adequate care". Somewhere along the way the system ran out of gas and let down more than 33% of Canadians with mental health needs. Would that be a good enough outcome for cardiac care? Cancer treatment?
Let's start with children
What is most disturbing is that an estimated 75% of children with mental disorders do not access specialized treatment services while, in 2013-2014, 5% of Emergency Department visits and 18% of inpatient hospitalizations for children and youth age 5 to 24 in Canada were for a mental disorder. That's a lot of Canadian children.
That means that, in a class of 20 children, 4 children will have mental health needs. But, out of those four, 3 Canadian children will have a mental disorder for which they will not receive the care the need. As a society, are we okay with that?
The vast majority of our population, who we can all agree are the most vulnerable on every measure, go without help at a stage of their life that builds a foundation for the rest of their human experience! Are we okay with that? How do you think this will play out for Canada's future?
The Stigma Makes Sense
How do we fix a stigma problem for illnesses that our very system defines as less important by both its actions and its measures?
Starting with children, mental health needs to be brought from the fringes to the very centre of healthcare in Canada in every way because it addresses the essence of the human experience. We need to create a culture that appreciates how essential and central mental health is to everything else we experience in life and that includes the culture within our healthcare systems.
We end the stigma of mental illnesses not by oversimplifying it but by acknowledging that it is a complex problem that needs a complex solution. It requires adequate funding for appropriate treatment, the right people making the right decisions, and appropriate funding for research. I'll say it again:
Adequate funding for appropriate treatment,
the right people making the right decisions,
appropriate funding for research.
Until that day comes when the above mentioned become a reality, we as a society, will be destined to crawl in the shadows of our ignorance and our understanding of the sufferings of mental illnesses will be limited to one special day, one special week or one special month a year!! And stigma will flourish in the bowels of our communities!
Do you really care? Yes you do. If you didn't care you wouldn't be at the end of this post. This is an important step you are taking in a journey in which we, you and I, are going to walk on together. You care. I care. More to come...

Game 1: Pathfinder Society Scenario #6 Black Waters (GM Joonas Frosen)
"The Pathfinder Society seeks the ancient ruby ring of the salamander and it falls to a team of Pathfinders to find it. Last seen in the Tri-Towers Yard, a once elite academy for the youth of Absalom, the ruby ring is now lost in the Drownyard, all that remains of Tri-Towers after it was destroyed a decade ago in the great quake. The Pathfinders must risk the strange black ichors and salty brine to find their prize—will they risk their very souls as well?"
Game 2: Pathfinder Society Scenario #6-22 Out of Anarchy (GM Tom Oinn)
"Several years ago, rebellion in the seaside town of Pezzack resulted in a Chelish blockade to slowly starve the rioters into submission. Since then few have entered or left, trapping the increasingly desperate citizens with little with which to repair their broken homes and eke out a living. When the Society learns that an important informant still lives in the ruined town, the PCs must smuggle themselves into Pezzack, navigate the devastated urban landscape, and extract their contact—all without igniting a new rebellion and inviting Cheliax's unfettered wrath."
These scenarios are free to play (there is a £3 door fee for the game event) and are suitable for all ages and intended for low level characters. Pregens will be available and the scenarios are new player friendly.

Received: April 26, 2017 | Published: September 28, 2017
Citation: Rani K. Role of antioxidants in prevention of diseases. J Appl Biotechnol Bioeng. 2017;4(1):495-496. DOI: 10.15406/jabb.2017.04.00091
Antioxidants are first line defence system against free radical damage and play very crucial role in maintaining optimum health care. Although, present day research is focused on the potential and miraculous benefits of antioxidant nutrients or supplements in our daily life. It has become the best protection against oxidative stress involve a wide selection of interrelated antioxidants and antioxidant cofactors. In addition, the combination of several suboptimal concentrations of these kinds of detoxifying supplements may also have an additive or even synergistic role to decrease the risk of some of common and lethal diseases which caused due to aging. Adequate intake of antioxidants, such as beta-carotene and vitamin C supplements or some of fruit and vegetables which have been reported as essential antioxidants which play a vital role in decreasing the risk of cancer and coronary heart disease (CHD).
Keywords: antioxidants, vitamin E, beta-carotene, vitamin C, lipoic acid, treatment, inflammatory diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, cardiovascular diseases
Free radicals are responsible for causing pathogenesis of healthy cells to lose their structures and functions to develop various degenerative diseases that caused due to aging such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, cataracts, immune system decline, brain dysfunction as well as illness caused due to pollution, cigarette smoke, drugs, illness, stress. So, many dieticians believe that the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for specific antioxidants may be required to live healthy lifestyle with having well-balanced, wholesome diet and adequate antioxidant supplementation. A balanced diet including plenty of fruit, vegetables, grains, oils and nuts have excellent complement of antioxidants such as vitamin E, beta-carotene, vitamin C and lipoic acid which have their protective effect by decreasing oxidative damage to DNA and by Although, antioxidants are generally regarded as safe compounds, but even at high concentrations, they may generated reactive species which can have a pro-oxidant effect.1 Antioxidant enzymes also have an important role in the detoxification of free radicals such as superoxide dismutase, catalyse, and glutathione peroxidase which scavenge free radicals. Decrease in antioxidant defence system or an overproduction of free radicals results in oxidative stress was found to contribute many aging induced diseases. Therapies based on both antioxidants and antioxidant enzymes can be an effective approach in preventing or treating many diseases.
Antioxidants in cancer prevention
Carcinogenesis starts when a normal cell is transformed into a cancerous cell. A number of phytochemicals such as genistein, tea polyphenols, the soy isoflavone that are present in edible plants, have anticarcinogenic and antimutagenic effects and can interfere with a particular stage in the development of cancer for lowering the risk of developing some cancers particularly of the digestive and respiratory tracts.2 Grape seed proanthocyanidin extract (GSPE) has been shown to have a positive effect against free radicals, oxidative stress and tissue injury.3 The ability of lycopene to scavenge free radicals that can we considered to prevent oxidative damage to DNA, which partly explains its anticarcinogenic activity.4 Omega-3 fatty acids can also helpful in reducing inflammatory mediators and leukotrienes by producing superoxide anions.5
Antioxidants in inflammatory diseases
In rheumatoid arthritis, toxic substances are released from the synovium that cause inflammation of the joint tissues lead to the destruction of cartilage. Antioxidant based treatments may be better therapeutic approach for treating this disease such as introduce the French diet in daily meal.6 Vitamin E-alpha tocopherol, vitamin A and Vitamin B scavenge free radicals to react with lipids and proteins that considered a mild anti-inflammatory effect which consequently protecting lipids in cell membranes from peroxidation.7 Pycnogenol (Procyanidine B3) have a role in preventing many inflammatory diseases and it increases the intracellular synthesis of antioxidant enzymes which scavenges free radicals to reduce the production of peroxides by macrophages to protect the cells and tissues from oxidative stress.8 Lipoic acid is a naturally occurring antioxidant, which has been used clinically for the treatment of oxidant-induced diseases that scavenges free radicals that accelerates glutathione synthesis and modulates the activity of transportation factors such as nuclear factor-kB (NF-kB).9 Green tea, of tea plant, Camellia sinensis, contains polyphenolic compounds have been shown to reduce the inflammation associated with arthritis in mice which contain compounds called, catechins that inhibit the breakdown of proteoglycan and collagen.10
Antioxidants in diabetes mellitus management
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder, in which the beta cells in the pancreas is not release enough insulin lead to hyperglycaemia. The isoflavones genistein and daidzein, are the most active, and are mainly found in soybean and its products that derived from biochanin A and for mononetin which can helpful in diabetes management. As well as, dietary phytoestrogens, including isoflavones and lignans have a beneficial role in both obesity and diabetes due to their positive regulatory actions on glucose and lipid metabolism. Flaxseed has the highest concentration of lignans and they are also found in seeds, whole grains, legumes and vegetables. This lignans was found to have vital role in diabetes management as antioxidant.11
Antioxidants in neurodegenerative disorders
An increased production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species has been shown to contribute to several neurodegenerative disorders that can be prevented by antioxidants intake. Improved memory is reported with the higher levels of carotenoid and tocopherol in individuals, whereas low levels of antioxidants are associated with a greater risk of brain vascular disease, memory loss, and dementia. Resveratrol predominantly found in grapes and red wine may also have a protective effect against Alzheimer's disease.12 Ascorbate can scavenge reactive species and superoxide anion, peroxyl, hydroxyl and peroxynitrite radicals, and lipid hydroperoxides that make catecholamines more stable, preventing them from producing reactive oxygen species.13
Antioxidants toxicity
Antioxidants toxicity especially of three antioxidants, vitamin E, beta-carotene and lipoic acid have been widely studied and evaluated for optimum health care when administrated in patients in the form of intravenous injections or taken orally. At high concentrations of vitamin A, vitamin C and vitamin E can have an undesirable pro-oxidant effect that lead to increased chance of increase in fatal myocardial infarctions. Vitamin E can be metabolised to form quinone derivatives which are toxic to cells and produce oxygen radicals. Beta-carotene is the precursor of vitamin A whose supplementation with beta-carotene increased cancer incidence in smokers and lipoic acid is made from fatty acids and the its R-enantiomer have antioxidant activity, but in the reduced form, dihydrolipoic acid, can also found to demonstrate a pro-oxidant effect.14
So, the review article contributes the useful and instant awareness for depicting the oxidative stress and free radicals induced diseases and their management by introducing clinical implementations of naturally occurring antioxidants or antioxidants supplements to prevent onset of many neurodegenerative disorders and cancers. The antioxidants have a strong potential to be used as most conventional treatments of diseases especially in, inflammatory disease, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer and diabetes. Hence, administration of balanced diet with good supplementation of fruit, vegetables, grains, oils and nuts) that have adequate essential antioxidant such as vitamin A, E, C, lipoic acid etc can be sufficient to improve our body immune system to prevent many neurodegenerative disorders, cardiovascular disease, premature aging, however, genetic and environmental factors may increase the risk of these kind of diseases at any stage.
I would like also to express my cordially appreciation to Amity University Uttar Pradesh, Noida (INDIA).

As of May 6th, our campus is open! But we still need to complete the final phase of civil improvements. This requires us to raise an additional $35k by the end of June. You can read all the details here. Thank you for your support!
As an educational resource and non-profit, CalEarth supports most of its operating costs through our online courses and workshops. But as we face new challenges to bring SuperAdobe mainstream, we need additional help:
Improvements to our Hesperia Campus
We were able to complete the first phase of our improvements and reopen the campus on May 6, 2019. However we still need to raise approximately $35,000 for the remaining improvements by August 2019. We also have plans to expand the campus in future phases to include additional student housing and classrooms.
ICC Testing and SuperAdobe Permitting in San Bernardino County (and beyond)
After years of permitting SuperAdobe structures, the San Bernadino County Buildings Department has requested new testing by the ICC (International Code Council) Evaluation Service before approving any new SuperAdobe structures. This means you cannot legally build with SuperAdobe in San Bernadino county at this time. We are currently working with the ICC and the county to arrange testing of our structures. We estimate the cost will be $30,000-$40,000 to complete the process.
