Off-Season Tourists and the Cultural Offer of a Mass-Tourism Destination: The Case of Rimini
This paper assesses the potential implications on off-season tourism of enhancing the cultural offer of Rimini, a popular Italian seaside holiday destination. Rimini, a city of about 130,000 people hosts a total of around 12 million overnight stays, 10 million of which are concentrated in the summer months. In the last twenty years or so, Rimini has been undergoing a policy of deseasoning, which mainly pivots around business tourism (a new fair quarter and important conference venues have been built) and cultural tourism (the city has been investing on both its cultural heritage and art exhibitions). This assessment is carried out through discrete choice experiments submitted to a sample of about 800 off-season tourists, that is, tourists who visited Rimini outside the summer months. Since tourism can be viewed as a composite good, which overall utility depends on the arrangement of the component characteristics, the choice experiments allow to disentangle the importance and the willingness to pay of tourists for different levels of the holiday's characteristics. The choice model incorporates as attributes a number of possible changes to actual tourism features (which are also the subject of public debate), including them in hypothetical alternative "holiday packages". The conditional logit analysis of the choice experiments can highlight the potential synergies and trade-offs between cultural and business tourism. Moreover, the methodology and the structure of the questionnaire allow a partial comparison of our findings with results stemming from two previous studies carried out in Rimini, respectively on summer tourists and on residents. Such comparison highlights synergies and trade-offs between off-season tourists, summer tourists, and residents.

Tiruchirapalli, Apr 3: The Rs 616 crore comprehensive water supply scheme for supplying water to five municipalities, 11 town panchayats and 3,163 rural habitations in Pudukkottai, Sivaganga and Ramanathapuram districts, is going on in full swing and is expected to be operationalised during the first quarter of next year.
Tamil Nadu Water Supply and Drainage Board (TWAD) sources told UNI here today that the scheme would benefit the present population of 15.75 lakh people in the districts and the projected population of 19.75 lakh by the year 2036.
The sources said it was proposed to draw 100 MLD of sub-surface water from river Cauvery through four collector wells, being erected at Kadiyakurichi and Mutharasanallur villages on the south bank of the river, on the Tiruchirapalli-Karur National Highway, near here.
The water pumped out of these collector wells would be again pumped up to Alavayal sump near Ponnamaravathi in Pudukkottai district and thereafter it would be gravitated to the proposed beneficiary sumps up to Rameswaram and Sayalkudi in Ramanathapuram district. The water would then be distributed to the public through a network of existing and proposed service reservoirs, they added.

Sci fi/Fantasy image byElinor Kettle
Queen Araminthë of the Dewr-Syrddau was blessed with three children whereas most had none. She had two twin sons and one young daughter. Her sons were named Rhedyn and Neithdar and were as different as most twins were alike. Neithdar had a reputation for wisdom and a constant want for knowledge that endeared him to most elders he met, whereas Rhedyn kept himself to himself, preferring to explore and garner his own knowledge from experience. In looks they were as different as in personality. Neithdar had honey coloured skin and raven black hair, his eyes were a deep chestnut that glowed a fierce red in the light. To cut quite a long story short, this is Neithdar; future ruler of the Dewr-Syddau (an elf like race who inhabit the ice continent Syllraen, the closest landmass to Stromguard where Kai lives) and the one being able to control the renegade Rhedyn. I'm in the process of colouring this in, though my colouring skills wont do justice to how I'd like this picture to turn out. Any CC will be appreciated, thanks!

Cloak of Magic by SA Rule
Cloak of Magic is the first book in the Shaihen Heritage series by SA Rule.
Somewhere along the line where human nature meets human imagination, myths are created. Somewhere in that space lives the spirit that created and sustains Shahaios, the Fair Land.
One man embodies the gifts of the spirit. A man all too susceptible to the human flaws that lie beneath the cloak of magic.
The journey of self-discovery for Kierce, heir to the Lord High Magician, and Caras, heir to the chief of Oreath, is inextricably bound up with the history of their land. The survival of their self-sufficient agrarian culture is threatened by the might of the sophisticated Empire of the Sacred Union, and neither Kierce's cunning nor Caras's courage may be enough to save the Fair Land.
Cloak of Magic is an impressive debut novel; a book of satisfying depth featuring characters worthy of empathy and a story that weaves and turns in a way conducive to the heightening and retaining of the reader's interest. You will find that the best fantasy novels are always strong on characterisation and this is certainly the case here. Central to the story is Kierce, heir to the Lord High Magician and a charismatic, yet flawed man. He contains hidden power and the destiny of the land he loves will rest on how he can harness that power. Strong supporting players surround Kierce; there is his childhood friend Caras, a rock of a man, trustworthy, loyal and single minded. King Rainur, the King's wife Cathva, the Imperial Commander Hiren and Orlii complete an impressive list of memorable characters that the reader will find easily identifiable.
"Caras liked his way through life clearly marked, and changes to come at a measured pace. The worst disruption to his world so far had been the loss of his parents to a fever epidemic when he had barely attained adulthood, and that was a grief shared by many other in the Holding."
Cloak of Magic: Chapter 12 – Arhaios
The characters constantly evolve as the story progresses, some go from unpleasant to likeable and then right back to unpleasant again. These are, as has already been mentioned, very well built characters that are described skilfully using a third person narrative that allows the reader to experience their inner thoughts and emotions.
The setting of Shehaios and the Empire are described in vibrant detail, the Empire being reminiscent in places of Rome in its pomp. The author's love of history and folklore shine through and help produce and refreshing and involving story that can be favourably compared to Gemmell and Feist.
This is the first book in a series. The foundations set within Cloak of Magic are solid and have left ample room for growth. Sometimes, after having read the first book in a series, there is a sense of obligation to read the entire series to completion less the time and effort invested be wasted. This is not the case with Cloak of Magic; you find that you actually WANT to find out what happens to these characters that now have a life of their own. Highly recommended for fans of epic fantasy and sword and sorcery books.
Sue Rule lives in Edenbridge, Kent. She has been writing bits of the fictional history of Shehaios since she first dreamed up the world and its rather prosaic magic in the early 1970's.
The Shaihen Heritage grew out of Sue's love of history and folklore and tracks the fictional history of an imagined world which is not unlike our own. The name "she-haios" means "the home of the spirit of life" and the people who live there have an intuitive understanding of that mysterious force which created mankind and the world we all live in.

Introduce the values and principles of democracy and the formation and roles of our government with these civic-minded picture books, informational titles, and poetry.
Children are often referred to as the future leaders of our country. This truism has led to a tradition of teaching students the basic principles of the U.S. government so that they can make informed decisions as adults. Unfortunately, the instructional time previously reserved for teaching social studies has been severely reduced due to an overriding emphasis on instruction in reading and math. If this trend continues, new generations of students are at risk of becoming citizens with little knowledge of the people, history, and democratic values of the United States.
Educators, parents, and community groups are searching for creative ways to promote students' interest in democratic principles and political procedures. One effective method for accomplishing this goal is to encourage young people to explore compelling books about American history and government. It is equally important for adults to be available to answer questions, engage children in discussions about what they are reading, and direct them to additional resources as their interest in American democracy grows. As children read freely, they may be introduced to a wider scope and a deeper understanding of topics than could be achieved through the traditional social studies curriculum.
The following bibliography includes titles for elementary- and middle-school students that cover social studies concepts typically found in national and state content standards, including the values and principles of democracy, the formation and responsibilities of governing bodies, and the roles and responsibilities of citizens.
In Defense of Liberty: The Story of America's Bill of Rights. By Russell Freedman. 2003. illus. 196p. Holiday, $24.95 (9780823415854). 342.73. Gr. 5–10.
In his signature clear, conversational prose, Freedman presents the history of the Bill of Rights, including each amendment's origins, as well as contemporary interpretations and conflicts. A must for classroom discussion, this title closes with source notes and an annotated bibliography that will help students with further research.
A Time for Freedom. By Lynne Cheney. 2005. 304p. illus. Simon & Schuster, $15.95 (9781416909255); Aladdin, paper, $8.99 (9781416949152). 973. Gr. 5–8.
In more than 300 pages, Cheney, author and wife of the former vice president, follows the chronology of our country, beginning with its early exploration and concluding with September 11, 2001, a day that will forever be remembered in the history of our nation. Brief descriptions of historical events are given, along with more in-depth discussions of significant political and cultural moments. The book can be read cover to cover, or the detailed index can be used to locate specific dates and events.
Unite or Die: How Thirteen States Became a Nation. By Jacqueline Jules. Illus. by Jef Czekaj. 2009. 48p. Charlesbridge, paper, $7.95 (9781580891905). 973.3. Gr. 3–6.
With a clever stage-play format featuring cartoonlike characters representing the original colonies, this book explains the process by which our country was forged into a nation based on the principles in the Constitution. The text provides information about the conflicts and compromises of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, while the play's amusing dialogue is delivered in speech bubbles.
Landmarks and Locations
America Is . . . By Louise Borden. Illus. by Stacey Schuett. 2002. 40p. Simon & Schuster/Margaret K. McElderry, $18.99 (9780689839009); paper, $7.99 (9781416902867). 811. Gr. 2–4.
America is defined here in multiple ways through poetry and pictures. The U.S. is described according to its places, people, and events, from the past to the present. The words to the Pledge of Allegiance and the national anthem are also included, along with a map of the U.S.
Capital. By Lynn Curlee. Illus. by the author. 2003. 48p. Atheneum, paper, $22.99 (9781416918011). 975.3. Gr. 2–5.
Readers will feel as if they are on a field trip to Washington, D.C., as they read about five of the most recognizable buildings in our capital city: the U.S. Capitol, the White House, the Washington Monument, and the Lincoln and Jefferson Memorials. A chronicle of building construction, history, and interesting trivia accompanies Curlee's faithfully detailed acrylic art.
Home to Me: Poems across America. Ed. by Lee Bennett Hopkins. Illus. by Stephen Alcorn. 2002. 48p. Orchard, o.p. 811.008. Gr. 2–5.
This collection of 15 poems about life in America is written by those who know it best. The commissioned works represent diverse geographical regions as seen by those who reside there. Illustrations by Alcorn serve as a common thread woven through this landscape of poetry.
Our Liberty Bell. By Henry Jonas Magaziner. Illus. by John O'Brien. 2007. 32p. Holiday, $15.95 (9780823418923). 974.8. Gr. 2–4.
This attractive picture book traces the history of the Liberty Bell, including its importance as a national symbol even after it cracked and traveled across the U.S. in the late 1800s to help reunify the country, as well as its significance for abolitionists, suffragists, and civil rights leaders throughout history.
Tour America: A Journey through Poems and Art. By Diane Siebert. Illus. by Stephen T. Johnson. 2006. 64p. Chronicle, o.p. 811. Gr. 3–6.
This mixed-media picture book merges visual representations of U.S. locales with poetry, offering a unique perspective on sights around the country. Poems include couplets, humorous rhymes, and reflective pieces that match the moods of the accompanying illustrations, which are executed in watercolor, oil, acrylic, pastel, collage, and photography.
Patriotic Symbols
America: A Patriotic Primer. By Lynne Cheney. Illus. by Robin Preiss Glasser. 2002. 40p. Simon & Schuster, $16.95 (9780689851926). 178.3. Gr. 2–4.
Cheney offers readers a view of America with an ABC book featuring a wide range of symbols associated with our country. E is for equality, P for patriotism, and V for valor. Detailed illustrations and facts make this a book to enjoy again and again. Follow this title with the team's Our 50 States: A Family Adventure across America (2006), which offers a fact-filled trip across the United States. Glasser's cartoonlike illustrations share a wide array of information about each of the 50 states as a family of five write letters home about what they see and learn on their journey from Massachusetts to Hawaii.
Happy Birthday, America! By Marsha Wilson Chall. Illus. by Guy Porfirio. 2000. 32p. HarperCollins, $17.99 (9780688130510). PreS–Gr. 2.
The Fourth of July in America often means parades and picnics to commemorate the birth of our country. The characters in this story celebrate together with a seed-spitting contest, a game of checkers, and swimming in the lake before watching fireworks in the summer sky. Porfirio's illustrations capture both the joy and the solemnity of the holiday.
I Pledge Allegiance. By Bill Martin Jr. and Michael Sampson. Illus. by Chris Raschka. 2002. 40p. Candlewick, $15.99 (9780763616489); paper, $7.99 (9780763625276). 323.6. K–Gr. 4.
Although it is written for young children, Americans of all ages will learn from this book. The talented writers and illustrator bring the Pledge of Allegiance to life in such a way that readers will remember the meaning of its words for a lifetime. Learning activities for teachers and parents are also included.
D Is for Democracy: A Citizen's Alphabet. By Elissa Grodin. Illus. by Victor Juhasz. 2004. 40p. Sleeping Bear, $16.95 (9781585362349); paper, $7.95 (9781585363285). 320.973. Gr. 5–8.
This ABC book focuses on the features of our government that define it as a democracy. A term, a rhyming verse, a related illustration, and a detailed explanation of the topic are provided for each letter of the alphabet. This colorfully illustrated picture book informs the reader and provides a good introduction to the rights, freedoms, and responsibilities we enjoy as Americans. Following a similar format, Grodin's Everyone Counts: A Citizen's Number Book (2006) recounts America's unique history, beginning with 1 document (the Constitution) and ending with 100 senators (2 from each state).
Our Supreme Court: A History with 14 Activities. By Richard Panchyk. 2006. 208p. illus. Chicago Review, paper, $16.95 (9781556526077). Also available as an e-book edition. 347.73. Gr. 7–10.
Featuring drawings, portraits, and photos, these eight chapters tell the story of the laws of our land, from free speech to civil and property rights. Students can look up specific cases or browse to learn how this branch of the U.S. government operates. Readers can also learn how new technology affects change in laws, such as the ability to record television programs, or perform the featured activities related to Supreme Court decisions.
Understanding the U.S. Constitution. By Sally Isaacs. 2009. 32p. illus. Crabtree, lib. ed., $26.60 (9780778743736); paper, $8.95 (9780778743781). 320.973. Gr. 3–6.
Although it reads like a social studies textbook, Isaacs' work provides a succinct chronology of events surrounding our nation's most historic documents. The important issues decided by delegates at the Constitutional Convention, the acceptance of the Constitution, and the system of checks and balances between the three branches of government are described for the reader. Supplementary information includes a time line, related reading, and a glossary.
The U.S. Constitution and You. By Syl Sobel. 2001. 48p. illus. Barron's, paper, $6.95 (9780764117077). 342.73. Gr. 3–6.
This easy-to-read guide provides an overview of the Constitution, including its history and framers. The three branches of government are explained with an emphasis on the power of the people in our democratic republic. Examples and reasons are given for the need to amend the original Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and a glossary explains terms used. Combine this title with Sobel's How the U. S. Government Works (1999), which explains the basic structure of American government and includes an illustrated glossary that reinforces concepts and terminology.
VOTE! By Eileen Christelow. Illus. by the author. 2003. 48p. Clarion, $16 (9780618247547). 324.973. Gr. 2–5.
This accessible introduction to voting follows candidates through a mayoral election, from political rallies and fund-raisers to a successful recount. Along the way, all the pertinent questions are asked and answered: What is voting? Why doesn't everyone vote? The art includes humorous asides by canine commentators, who help explain the action and add extra bits of information.
We the Kids: The Preamble to the Constitution of the United States. By David Catrow. Illus. by the author. 2002. 32p. Dial, $16.99 (9780803725539); Puffin, paper, $6.99 (9780142402764). 342.73. PreS–Gr. 2.
The assignment of memorizing the preamble to the Constitution will be much easier for students when it is introduced in a picture-book format. Illustrations of three children and a precocious dog are provided for each concept expressed in this historic document. Catrow also includes a description of the U.S. Constitution as well as a glossary of terms.
Grace for President. By Kelly DiPucchio. Illus. by LeUyen Pham. 2008. 40p. Hyperion, $15.99 (9780786839193). Gr. 1–3.
Grace is shocked that no women appear on the poster of U.S. presidents hanging on the classroom wall, and the revelation spurs her into running in a class election. Grace and her opponent, Thomas, have different campaign styles, and in the end, she prevails. The true strength of this charmingly illustrated story is its clear explanation of the electoral college and how it works.
If I Ran for President. By Catherine Stier. Illus. by Lynne Avril. 2007. 32p. Albert Whitman, $15.95 (9780807535431). 324.70973. Gr. 3–5.
This candidate's view of a presidential campaign takes readers from initial questions—"Am I the best person for the job? Am I ready to work VERY, VERY, VERY hard for my country? Do lots of people believe in me, and will they help me run for office?"—to the first day in the Oval Office. Children will come away with a better understanding of the complex election process and, just maybe, an enduring respect for it.
Make Your Own President. By Linda McKnight and Amy Pastan. 2006. 56p. illus. HarperCollins, paper, $14.95 (9780060891770). 973.09. PreS–Gr. 2.
This unique book explores the countenances, contributions, and quotes of 24 U.S. presidents. Portraits or photos of each face are divided into five sections, allowing the reader to mix and match the features of these leaders. The back side of each flip card includes a biography of and memorable quote by the featured president.
Our Country's Presidents: All You Need to Know about the Presidents, from George Washington to Barack Obama. By Ann Bausum. 2005; revised 2009. 216p. illus. National Geographic, $24.95 (9781426303753); lib. ed., $35.90 (9781426303760). 973. Gr. 3–6.
This recent revision includes all 44 presidents elected to date. An introduction to the duties they have had in common as commander in chief are punctuated with unique facts about each individual, including nicknames, important dates, length of term in office, and more. Important to every American, these historical facts are accompanied by full-page depictions of each U.S. president's portrait.
Presidents' Day. By Anne Rockwell. Illus. by Lizzy Rockwell. 2008. 40p. HarperCollins, $16.99 (9780060501945); paper, $6.99 (9780060501969). PreS–Gr. 2.
A lively, diverse classroom planning a Presidents' Day celebration sets the stage for sharing facts about the four widely regarded faces that appear on Mount Rushmore. During the play, four characters share facts about Washington, Lincoln, Jefferson, and Roosevelt. The book concludes with the class holding its own election.
So You Want to Be President? By Judith St. George. Illus. by David Small. 2000; revised 2004. 56p. Philomel, $17.99 (9780399243172). 973. Gr. 3–6.
Trivia is interwoven into this humorously illustrated look at past commanders in chief. Commonalities are pointed out, such as popular first names of presidents (James and John), as well as differences (size, age, personality, education, previous jobs held). The one thing all U.S. presidents have in common is repeating the same 35 words when taking the oath of office.
What Presidents Are Made Of. By Hanoch Piven. Illus. by the author. 2004. 40p. Atheneum, $18.99 (9780689868801); paper, $6.99 (9781442444331). 973. Gr. 2–4.
The personal pastimes and unique qualities of notable presidents are highlighted here in text and multimedia collage portraits featuring three-dimensional objects. Items used in each collage relate to the president portrayed, including a musket for Andrew Jackson's mouth, a peanut for Jimmy Carter's nose, and jelly beans for Ronald Reagan's eyes. A time line with official portraits of each president from George Washington to George W. Bush is also included.

Diver Numbers
CAGE - cerebral arterial gas embolism Air trapped in lung may expand and burst into arterial system via pulmonary veins – goes to brain Massive bubble load may cross to pulmonary veins through lungs – goes to brain Presents with rapid onset neurological symptoms Patients often recover, then deteriorate
Decompression illness Bubbles form in tissue/blood from dissolved N 2 on ascent if time / depth of dive was too great, and ascent is too fast DCI can be avoided by very slow ascent (but this is sometimes too slow to be practical) Bubbles damage vessels and tissue Variable presentation - pain, weakness, feeling 'off colour', breathlessness
16 DECOMPRESSION ILLNESS - evolution of bubbles from dissolved nitrogen Air breathed at greater pressure during dive Gas solubility increased at greater pressure N 2 absorbed into blood and tissues Amount of gas depends on time and depth N 2 solubility declines during ascent (as pressure decreases) Bubble formation - tissues and blood
17 RISK FACTORS FOR DCI Too deep / too long – exceed table limits Rapid ascent Omitted decompression Repetitive diving (multiple ascents) "Bounce dives" Flying after diving – no flying for 24 hours Age
RISK FACTORS FOR DCI 2 Inter-current illness, cold, working hard, etc. Panic Gear Failure Poor planing
Bubbles tissues venous blood (some bubble formation) lungs * off-gasarteries organs
Tissue bubbles Mechanical effects –compression –stretch myelin sheaths, bone, spinal cord, tendon, etc Biochemical –activation of complement –coagulation –kinins
Effects Reduced microcirculation –ischaemia (haemorrhagic or thrombotic) –vessel permeability –oedema –inflammation
22 DECOMPRESSION ILLNESS - presentation of disease Marked variation, from mild constitutional symptoms to paralysis Most cases apparent within 24 hours Only 50% have objective signs Worst cases are early onset with progressive neurological symptoms Diving may not reflect severity Neurology may not "make sense"
Classification Decompression sickness –Type I - musculoskeletal, skin, lymphatic, constitutional –Type II - neurological, cardiorespiratory, vestibular Arterial gas embolism Barotrauma Little diagnostic or prognostic significance
Current classification Decompression illness –acute or chronic –static, progressive, relapsing, spontaneously resolving –organ system involved (cutaneous, cerebral, spinal, musculoskeletal, lymphatic, etc) –+/- barotrauma
Differentiating between pathological processes Decompression illness - due to inert gas load and bubble evolution…. Barotrauma Other diving-related illness
Depth-time profile gives indication of inert gas load Pattern of dive - no. and speed of ascents, etc Time of onset of symptoms Symptom evolution Signs Making a diagnosis
Cerebral emboli - CAGE Usually rapid onset on surfacing Loss of consciousness or fitting Victims may drown Spontaneous recovery of consciousness Apparent resolution, then deterioration
Symptom frequency Symptoms after diving are common, DCI is not Pain 40% Altered sensation 20% Dizziness8% Fatigue, headache, weakness5% Nausea, SOB3% Altered LOC2% Rash< 1%
29 DECOMPRESSION ILLNESS classical vs typical patients THE 'CLASSICAL' PATIENT Exceeds time / depth Rapid onset of pain Followed soon after by weakness and sensory changes Presents early THE 'TYPICAL' PATIENT Borderline time / depth Initially well Later, migratory aches, feels "off colour" and tired Seeks help several days after diving
30 DECOMPRESSION ILLNESS - presentation by system
Assessing a diver A, B, C and if conscious and talking – start oxygen @ 4L/minute, take blood pressure and pulse RECORD EVERYTHING – TIME, etc Dive profile – depth, time, gas, any events When did they first notice symptoms? What were they? What has happened to the symptoms since? How do they feel now? When did they last pass urine?
32 DECOMPRESSION ILLNESS - evaluation in first aid BRIEF HISTORYBRIEF EXAMINATION Depth(s) / time(s)Vital signs Number of ascentsChest Nature of ascentsNeurological Nature of dive Symptoms Temporal relation of symptoms to dive
Be suspicious if there is any history of altered consciousness, even if transient – this might be CAGE, which is serious Refer for treatment diving emergency services D.E.S. number (09) 4458454
D.E.S. service Available 24/7 Call will be answered by Navy Hospital staff - get basic details Give contact number Experienced doctor & consultant on call Response: –advice on initial management –transfer immediately (St John coordinate) OR –assess at local hospital OR –review next day
35 DECOMPRESSION ILLNESS - steps in DCI first aid ABCs Position Oxygen Fluids Evaluate Contact D.E.S. Evacuate
36 DECOMPRESSION ILLNESS - positioning in first aid CURRENT ADVICE Horizontal Recovery position if LOC is decreased Previous advice was head down THE CASE AGAINST HEAD DOWN Difficulty Oral fluid administration Increase ICP and cerebral oedema Arterialisation of venous bubbles
37 DECOMPRESSION ILLNESS - oxygen in first aid
38 DECOMPRESSION ILLNESS - IV fluids in first aid
Adjunctive treatments Possible benefit: –NSAIDs (oral, IM) –lignocaine (IV infusion) Of no benefit: –heparin or other anticoagulants –steroids
40 DECOMPRESSION ILLNESS - evacuation in first aid Not always necessary Advice from D.E.S. is usually sought first Minimise altitude – either road, or fixed wing at normal atmospheric pressure (1 ATA), or rotary (but <300m) Maintain oxygen administration Maintain horizontal posture in acute cases Avoid pain relief No entonox
Helicopter vs fixed wing HELICOPTER Noisy Poor access to patient Unpressurised Ideal for short coastal distances Good for isolated areas, boats FIXED WING Quieter Better access May be pressurised Ideal for long haul over high country Limited if no strip
Summary: initial management CPR if necessary Oxygen - 100% if possible (need rebreather) Lie flat Get advice Rehydration (fluid balance) –oral or IV crystalloid –1L stat, 1L 4-6 hrly Evacuate for recompression NSAIDs if needed
Recompression treatment Recompress diver to depth –can use oxygen or oxygen-helium bubble compression increase diffusion gradient so gas leaves bubble counter effects of pulmonary AV shunting deliver high oxygen tensions to damaged tissue
Recompression therapy 18m 30min 9m 1hr 2hrs surface (0m) = air 'breaks' to reduce oxygen toxicity (and for convenience, comfort, etc)

Very Vanilla Baked Donuts
I felt like doing a bit of baking the other day, but I wasn't really feeling cakes, cupcakes, or really any of the things I usually make, so I decided to go back to something I play around with a bit last year, donuts. After a bit of Pinterest research I can up with a simple recipe for Vanilla Glazed Baked Donuts. Which seemed pretty straight up and perfect to me.
For the Donuts
- For the Donuts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter melted
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup+1 1/2 tablespoon skim milk (full fat milk works too)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (I used vanilla paste instead since I wanted a stronger punch of vanilla)
For the Glaze:
- 1/2 cup) powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 small pinch salt
- 1 or 2 tablespoons milk
- Optional: food coloring and sprinkles
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Spray a donut pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder and salt.
In a small bowl, whisk together egg, milk, butter and vanilla extract.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir together until no flour bits remain and all the ingredients are well combined. Try not to over-mix the batter.
Use a large ziplock bag, cut a corner off the bottom of the bag and pipe the batter into each donut cavity, filling 3 ∕ 4 of the way full.
Place the pan in the oven and bake for 8 to 10 minutes.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan before inverting onto a wire rack to cool completely.
While the donuts cool, make the glaze.
In a medium bowl whisk together the powdered sugar, vanilla extract and salt.
Add 1 tablespoon of milk, and whisk to combine. If the glaze is too thick, add additional milk, 1/2 teaspoon at a time until the desired consistency is reached.
Add food coloring if you wish.
Once the donuts are completely cool, dip them into the vanilla glaze. Return to the wire rack and sprinkle with sprinkles. Allow the glaze to set for about 30 minutes before stacking or serving.
- These donuts were just solidly okay, well, I think they are only okay, Andy ate three and declared he'd eat the rest before letting me throw them away. I had the same issue with them as I had with the other donut recipes, they aren't anywhere as good as what I can buy somewhere else. It's a little disheartening. Is there some donut magic rule that I am missing?
- As you can see in the "ingredients", I substituted vanilla paste for the extract called for. I think the paste has a stronger richer flavor, and I think it added a bit more depth to the overall donut. I will probably use it in my glaze as well next time.
- Be very careful not to over mix. I forgot the butter and had to add it in after the mix had come together and just those few extra stirs made for a noticeably more toothsome product.

Apple Pecan Cake
This past weekend I finally crossed of #8 on my 30 before 31 list! I completed my 12th recipe from cookbooks I already owned. It actually turned out to be a more difficult challenge than I'd anticipated: I am much more inclined to check out what is in my pantry then bake accordingly than I am to go buy all of the ingredients and then have a set bake day. Regardless, I did it, going out on one of my favorite recipes of this whole thing, a quick and easy Apple Pecan Cake.
- I made a couple of changes to the basic recipe to really bring this cake home. First of all, I used brown sugar instead of white for that rich molasses-y taste that pairs so well with apples. Next I cut out the allspice (since I don't really care for it) and doubled the cinnamon. I also added a tablespoon of vanilla extract, I don't know that it made much of a difference, but…..it's what I did.
- The mix was a bit unusual, so much apple! You couldn't really pour it into the plan, you had to plop it out in chunks and press it as level as a possible so that it can bake evenly.
- I bake pretty regularly, but this recipe got the most enthusiastic response out of Andy that I've seen in a while. He ate four pieces the day I baked it. Clearly I need to add this to my regular rotation.
I am putting in a little extra effort these days to get as many items crossed off as I can, although there will be a couple that I know I won't be achieving. Keep your fingers crossed for me!

Death by Chocolate Cheesecake
I love watching recipe videos; I can spend hours on sites like Tasty or Delish. I think about how I could rediscover my passion for cooking, become the next Martha Steward and make all the things. This ambition inevitably gets derailed somewhere between watching the video and getting up to go to the grocery store. Christmas day my brother in law and his girlfriend came down to stay with Andy and I for a few days, and we agreed that we'd all enjoy a bit of holiday baking. When the idea of cheesecake came up, I hit Pinterest and quickly located the Death by Chocolate recipe I had pinned and Facebooked a couple of weeks ago. After watching the video, they agreed to give it a shot, and spoiler, we kind of killed it 🙂
Cookie Crust
- 24 whole Oreo cookies
- 6 tbsp. melted butter
- Pinch kosher salt
Chocolate Cheesecake
- 4 (8-oz.) packages of cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 3/4 c. granulated sugar
- 1/2 c. packed light brown sugar
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 c. cocoa powder
- 9 oz. bittersweet chocolate, chopped and melted
- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
Chocolate Ganache
- 1 1/2 c. chocolate chips
- 3/4 c. heavy cream
- Chocolate shavings, for garnish
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and position an oven rack in the middle of the oven.
- Make crust: In a large Ziploc bag or a food processor fitted with a metal blade, crush or blend Oreos until fine crumbs form. Transfer to a bowl and pour in melted butter. Add salt and stir until crumbs are completely coated and moist.
- Make cheesecake: In a large bowl using a hand mixer (or in the bowl of a stand mixer using the paddle attachment), beat cream cheese, sugars, cocoa powder and salt until smooth. Add eggs one a time, beating well between each addition. Fold in melted chocolate.
- Coat a 9″ springform pan with cooking spray and press Oreo mixture into pan and 1/3 of the way up the sides, packing tightly. Pour cheesecake filling over crust.
- Bake until cheesecake is only slightly jiggly in the center, 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. (If you want to use a water bath to ensure cheesecake top does not crack, wrap the outside of the pan in aluminum foil and place in a baking dish. Place on oven rack and pour in enough boiling water to reach halfway up the pan. Follow baking instructions.) If using a water bath, remove pan from water and unwrap foil. Refrigerate cheesecake until totally chilled, at least 4 hours and up to overnight.
- Make ganache: Place chocolate chips in a medium, heatproof bowl and set aside. Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat. When bubbles begin to break the surface around the edges of the pan, turn off the heat. Pour the hot cream over chocolate chips, whisking constantly until the sauce is smooth.
- Pour ganache on top of the cheesecake. Garnish with chocolate shavings. Return to the refrigerate for about 10 more minutes to let the ganache set.
- I neglected to really read the actual recipe until after we'd already started baking, but I was a little annoyed with the "refrigerate at least 4 hours and up to overnight" part. The video implies immediate cheesecake gratification, and we had to wait: so lame. Other than that, this is a really great recipe and I can't think of a single thing I'd do differently. 9 out of 10 to be sure.

Cinnamon-Streusel Cider Muffins
I seem to always find myself at a loss when it comes to cooking breakfast for Christmas morning. I mean, I want it to be something special, but then again I don't want to spend hours in the kitchen while everyone else is hanging out and getting their Christmas on. First world problems, right? Since I have yet to come up with a brilliant solution to the dilemma this year, I have been browsing through my cookbooks and looking for something that looks good. After flipping through The Muffin Book, I noticed a recipe that was not only seasonally inspired, but that I already had the ingredients for. Win win, right?
- Be super careful not to over mix your batter; I got a bit carried away, and my muffins were a little more toothsome than I would have liked. You know, sometimes the holiday music moves you and you're not paying attention the way you should be.
- I did not have enough batter to complete my dozen muffins, I had to go back and make an additional half batch to fill my muffin tins to the desired level. So either take that dozen down to 8 or increase your batter recipe accordingly.
- All in all, these were decent muffins. They puffed up and turned a lovely golden brown. For my personal taste, the next time I make these the batter will include cinnamon and maybe a splash of vanilla, just for funsies.
I haven't decided whether this will be on the Christmas morning menu yet, but considering how easy it was to whip up I'd say with a few tweaks we definitely have a contender.

-----Original Message-----A few of the list members serve the oil/gas industry. Large storage tanks, say 150' diameter, are commonly used to store products. Among other things, the design of the tank foundations, depends on the level of tank settlement.

Subject: Foundation for large tanks
Typically, three types of tank settlement are addressed. Total settlement, differential settlement between the tank center and the circumference and the differential settlement along the circumference. Maximum settlement occurs at the center of the tank.
Problems can arise in the wall or bottom plate of the tank or at the nozzle connections if the settlement is "large". In floating roof tanks, the operation of the roof itself may be affected if the settlement issue is not adequately addressed in the design stage. So, what is a "large" settlement?
I have not come across any prescription for limiting any of the above three in the API codes, which commonly govern tank design for the gas/oil industry. Nevertheless, common sense suggests there must be threshold values to each of the above parameter for settlements.
What has been the experience of the list members? What performance criteria should be included in a typical geotechnical specification associated with developing a foundation design?

Habitat Protection
To reduce environmental impacts, PacifiCorp has programs addressing wildlife protection, wetlands preservation, reducing hydroelectric facilities' impact on fish, plant relicensing, and bird interactions with power lines and wind turbines. The company also uses award-winning land reclamation techniques to restore habitat after completing mining operations.
Wildlife management
In Washington, PacifiCorp is concluding its 22-year-old Merwin Wildlife Habitat Management Program. This program is now part of an expanded 10,300-acre Lewis River Wildlife Habitat Management Program, providing additional protection and enhancement for fish and wildlife and an extensive geographic information system database. The GIS maps provide site-specific information on sensitive habitats and species.
PacifiCorp has managed forest habitat for developing old-growth Douglas fir forests and for improving habitat structures and forage for wildlife in second-growth strands. Cooperative studies regarding bald eagles on the Lewis River have led to habitat protection that now provides nesting habitat for up to 11 pairs of eagles.
The company was also a prime sponsor of the Oregon Biodiversity Project, a multiyear effort administered by Defenders of Wildlife and other groups. The project used GIS mapping to identify key conservation areas for flora and fauna, and created a database to help direct development and avoid conflict between economical and environmental interests.
To preserve land for future generations, PacifiCorp worked with Bridgerland Audubon Society and The Nature Conservancy on a conservation easement for approximately 500 acres of Bear River bottomlands near Trenton, Utah.
Wetlands preservation
In Utah's Cache County, the Cutler Marsh and its surrounding lands are managed by PacifiCorp to protect and enhance flora and fauna. The company also provides recreational opportunities – canoeing, hunting, fishing and bird-watching – and such traditional agricultural land uses as grazing and storage. PacifiCorp manages the hydro project and associated lands for the Cutler project area and has received recognition from the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources and the Bridgerland Audubon Society for the Cutler Wetlands Maze, an area of the marsh known for its sensitive wildlife habitat.
Fish management
PacifiCorp is determined to reduce the impacts of hydroelectric dams, particularly on migratory fish such as salmon and steelhead trout. The company has taken a proactive approach to endangered species protection in the Northwest.
On Washington's Lewis River, the company is operating a unique floating surface collector at Swift Dam to help juvenille fish migrate around the dams to the lower river where they can continue their swim to the Pacific Ocean. The facility is only the third of its kind in the world.
On the North Umpqua River in southern Oregon, PacifiCorp constructed an innovative new fish passage facility that is helping steelhead and salmon reach spawning habitat that has been blocked for 60 years.
Land reclamation and preservation
PacifiCorp's staff has developed a nationally recognized land reclamation program. Employees of PacifiCorp subsidiary Glenrock Coal Company restored 4,600 acres of land mined for more than 40 years to its original state, completing reclamation of the Dave Johnston Mine in Wyoming in 2005. The Bridger Coal Company also successfully reclaimed a site at the jointly owned Jim Bridger Mine in Wyoming, which now provides forage for wild horses.
In 2001, Glenrock Coal Company was awarded the State of Wyoming's Excellence in Surface Mining award and received an Excellence in Surface Coal Mining and Reclamation award from the U.S. Department of the Interior's Office of Surface Mining.
As part of decommissioning its Powerdale hydro project along the Hood River in Oregon, PacifiCorp donated 400 acres surrounding the project. The lands will be used for conservation and recreation purposes.

I recently had my pre-op appt. and was told by my PS that I could not get 425 cc moderate plus silicone like I was hoping for because they would be too wide for my frame. I could only go as big as 400 cc, or go with a 425 cc high profile instead. I had already had it in my head that HP means big, round, implants that sit high up on the chest. I want a nice sloping, tear drop shape from the side, and thought that was only possible with MP. I'm so conflicted now...please help! (-:

Achieving a natural looking tear drop shape with high profile implants
If you are looking for nice sloping tear drop shape then the lower profile implant shape is what you should be getting. However, you may not be able to get the volume that you wanted. It's a very common conflict, choosing between size and shape. Most of the time, it's a compromise. Another option to consider is the anatomically shaped silicone gel implant. Go back to your surgeon and see if you are a candidate for this type of implant.
Best Wishes,
Stewart Wang, MD FACS, Wang Plastic Surgery
High profile implants
High profile implants are good in some patients especially for narrower patients. Best to see in person.
Implant Profiles
You are at a crossroad in the decision making process. You 'had it in your head' about what size (and profile) you wanted, but without the benefit of the expertise of a plastic surgeon's examination. If you are looking for a very gentle slope to the upper pole, then you and your surgeon should talk about the flattest profile possible in an implant whose diameter best fits your chest wall, and ignore the volume.
Most surgeons have been bullied into accommodating women's size request while still trying to adhere to some part of dimensional planning, so they often recommend a high profile implant in an attempt to satisfy both. However, this can lead to significant problems, some that will necessitate a reoperation.
Don't push this surgeon into a corner, or go to another that cares not, and will give you exactly what you ask for so you don't walk out his door too. Please understand that breast augmentation has limitations.
Best of luck!

Effect of high profile implants on breast augmentation
In general a higher profile implant will tend to thrust the upper portion of the breast forward. This is particularity true it the implant is not under the pec muscle. There may be a tradeoff between size and shape. The newer "gummy bear" implants have an anatomical shape and might be worth consideration. They are not yet available in all shapes and sizes. As always, a careful discussion with a highly experienced surgeon gives the best chance of a happy outcome.
Breast Implants and Implant Shapes
Yes, It is totally possible to get the look you are desiring with High Profile implants. I have found these implants can give excellent and natural shape, as long as you are not picking too big. This will be more dependent on your soft tissue coverage. This means how much breast tissue and muscle you have to "hide" the implabt. If you have enough tissue to hide the implant, you will get a natural look. However, if you have too little tissue, you will look round and faker.
Your doctor can help you with this decision.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!
Dr. Chris Saunders
Do high profile implants look natural?
Thank you for your question. While high profile implants are used in some cases, I believe that they tend to create a more rounded and less natural look. The increased projection with the high profile implants makes the breast look more implanted with a bit of a superior shelf. Some women like that look, but it doesn't sound like it would meet your desires based on your description.
The question that I would have for you is about your desire to use a 425cc implant. To achieve the natural look that you describe, it would be best to match the implant width to your chest width. The projection could then be chosen to meet your expectations, with the volume being almost disregarded. I am sure that your plastic surgeon can help you with this.
This approach will give you a natural result that meets your expectations.
Best of luck with your augmentation.
Jeff Rockmore
The volume of the breast implant is not as important as you believe it to be. The shape is important.You are better off going with the correct sizing or correct width
Using appropriate implant sizes for the best result
There is really not much difference between a 400 and a 425 cc implant. You are looking at less than 2 tablespoonful. Discuss your concerns with your plastic surgeon. He is attempting to keep your implants within a certain range that is appropriate for your size and shape. The only other alternative would be to use a formed shaped implant. These are implants that can vary the height and width. In the US these types of implants are only marketed by Sientra.
Possible to Achieve a Natural Looking Result With High Profile Implants?
The short answer is yes, one can achieve natural looking results with a high profile implant, but that is not the only consideration, as a variety of factors can impact how natural of look one has following augmentation. For example, if one chooses an implant that is too wide for their frame, the implant can extend too far out past the chest wall, and that looks unnatural as well.
Big, round, implants that sit high on the chest wall are more often the result of improper implant positioning, overly large implants, implants place on top of the muscle, or even capsular contracture. So it is not simply a matter of that look being caused by an HP implant.
Also, it is important to distinguish between HP Saline implants and HP Gel implants. Each manufacturer is different. In most cases, the HP saline implants are way too high profile and in my experience rarely look good on anybody. I think this is why HP implants have gotten a bad name. In fact, HP gel implants have approximately the same profile as moderate profile saline implants, hence they are not overly "high profile", In your case, changing from a moderate plus to a high profile implant may only mean a few millimeters in difference in dimension. and if the implant is being place under the muscle there may be little difference in overall appearance.
I suggest you return to your surgeon for some further discussion and clarification of your goals to come with an acceptable plan.
