Eucalyptus Oil: Using eucalyptus oil for fever February 03 2014
A fever can accompany a virus or an infection, and refers to a symptom rather than a
specific illness. Basically , it's the body's reaction to and means of fighting an "invasion" of
infection or illness. In response, the body produces excess heat, which stimulates white
blood cells to produce antibodies that fight the invading microbes. Some bacteria and
viruses can only tolerate a narrow temperature range, so heat can help to kill them or at
least inhibit their reproduction.
Eucalyptus essential oil (eucalyptus radiata) is known for its antiviral, anti-inflammatory,
and antiseptic propertie and can provide effective relief for a fever. This is because it is
considered to be a vasodilator, meaning that it helps to widen blood vessels and as a result,
blood circulates more effectively throughout the body. This translates to an increase in
blood flow that can be very beneficial, especially during a time when the body's immune
response generates a fever due to an invasion on the system.
Place 1-3 drops of eucalyptus oil on a cotton ball and apply to the temples. Eucalyptus oil can also be applied directly to the temples one drop at a time. Repeat every hour until fever breaks.
Add 5-10 drops of eucalyptus oil to 2 cups of warm water. Soak cotton cloths or washcloths in the mixture, wrap them around legs and arms, and cover with dry cloths.
Place 15-20 drops in 1 cup of cool water. Soak a soft washcloth in the mixture and gently place to cover the area. Hold it onto the forehead and repeat as necessary.
For a low-grade fever (100-102 degrees Fahrenheit), add 15-50 drops of eucalyptus oil to a warm bath. Combined with the benefits of the oil, the heat of the water encourages the body to work efficiently in fighting whatever it is that has caused an immune response. For additional benefits, Epsom salts can be added to the water as well.
Our essential oils blend BOOM contains eucalyptus oil as well as several other beneficial oils. This can be used instead of eucalyptus for its other qualities as well.
This information is for educational purposes only, and is not intended to prescribe,
treat, prevent, or diagnose any disease or condition. As always, before you begin any
sort of regimen using essential oils, please consult with your physician, naturopath, or
aromatherapist before doing so. The use of oils can be very empowering and effective in the treatment of a variety of ailments. However, use your own discretion; the medical community is there to help us when oils can't.

Today, with God's Help, I understood what meditation is.
I always thought that I don't meditate. The idea of sitting and doing nothing but thinking a thought over and over or doing "visualizations" makes me feel uncomfortable. I would worry about the people who are suffering while I sat there and tried to commune with God.
And then, this morning, as I woke I suddenly understood that I have been doing meditation for years. I just didn't recognize it as such.
Every day I think the same thought, every day and all the day and night long: What can I do to make this world better? Whom can I help today? What do I need to do and know to alleviate someone's suffering.
That *is* my meditation. That is my repetitive thought.
We don't have to be sitting and meaning to meditate to meditate.
Every thought we think repetitively is a meditation. Everything we say over and over again and think over and over again and do over and over again is a meditation.
If our deeds, our words, our thoughts are Holy and loving, God's light is revealed to us whether we ask for it or not, whether we meant to meditate or not. Enlightenment is a BY-PRODUCT , not the goal of living a Holy life.
If our repetitive thoughts are dark or meaningless or selfish, by the same process, God will endarken us.

Following weeks of political crisis and falling rupee, which dropped to record levels, the Sri Lankan prime minister today announced a plan to obtain US$ 1.9 billion from 'international sources' to stabilise the currency.
The bulk of this will be obtained from international money markets, Ranil Wickremesinghe said, whilst, US$ 500 million will obtained from Chinese and Japanese bonds, and US$ 400 million from the Central Bank of India via a SAARC currency swap.
"Devaluation of the Sri Lankan rupee results in high cost of imported raw materials. This in turn results in high cost of production," Wickremesinghe was quoted by the Daily Mirror as saying.
"Stabilising the rupee should be our priority. We have taken several steps in this direction and had already begun discussions with several countries," he added.
"We also intend to bring down the cost of living," he said.
"We had to face serious challenges in the economic front this year. Sri Lanka's debt services will be highest in 2019. The total foreign debt service this year will be US dollars 5,900 million. Sri Lanka will have to settle the highest debt installment of dollars 2,600 million on January 14 this year."
"The government planned to settle debts causing minimum burden to the people. We took several steps in this regard including developing the domestic economy, enhancing exports and increasing investments. We also took steps to stabilize the external economy. Our plans were shattered by the political crisis which took place on October 26. The economic growth slowed down, Sri Lanka lost its high financial ratings and the country could not borrow from any donor agency. It will take some time for the country to regain what it lost during the political crisis. We lost investor confidence and it should be restored. We have to show the world that there is political stability in our country."
"Sri Lankan rupee was devalued by 3.8 percent during the 51-day political crisis. A sum of USD 312.9 million had gone out of the country from October 26 and December 16 last year in the form of treasury bonds and USD 29.8 million in the form of treasury bills. In addition, Sri Lanka's foreign reserves have gone down by USD 1 billion dollars during the 51-day crisis. We are ready to overcome all challenges that come our way. We will stabilize the economy just like the way we brought in political stability from the turmoil."

Elizabeth Warren's DNA test: What it can and can't tell us
After years of mockery from President Donald Trump, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass. –– likely anticipating a run for president –– has released a DNA report on her Native American roots.
Trump ridiculed Warren with the nickname Pocahontas since at least 2016. As we've noted before, that goes back to a time in the mid 1980s when Warren first indicated on law school faculty forms that she had Native American ancestry.
No documents supported that, and Trump once said she had as much Native American blood as he did, and he had none. At a July 5 rally in Montana, he challenged her to take a DNA test.
"I will give you a million dollars to your favorite charity, paid for by Trump, if you take the test and it shows you're an Indian," Trump said.
Trump now denies saying that, but in any event, Warren did get tested and the results did find Native American ancestry. We asked four experts to review her report and they all found it credible.
In the technical terms of the researcher who analyzed Warren's DNA, Carlos Bustamante, professor of biomedical data science at Stanford University, said "the results strongly support the existence of an unadmixed Native American ancestor in the individual's pedigree, likely in the range of 6-10 generations ago."
In years, that would be anytime from 150 to 250 years ago, perhaps as far back as 1700.
Bustamante said that the analyst working with the DNA sample didn't know it was Warren's when running the test.
When we looked into Warren's ancestry in 2017, we could find no genealogical or historical evidence to support the claim that she had Native American ancestry. This report changes that.
We asked several top biological anthropologists to assess Bustamante's methods. They all said they are sound.
"I have read the DNA test report closely, and think that the analysis described therein was conducted properly," said Theodore Schurr at the University of Pennsylvania.
"These are among the most robust methods today," said Deborah Bolnick at the University of Connecticut and past president of the American Association of Anthropological Genetics.
Bustamante found five DNA segments that he could say with 99 percent certainty were of Native American origin.
"Native Americans arose as a distinct population in Siberia some 17,000 to 23,000 years ago and then spread into the Americas around 16,000 years ago," Schurr said. "Indigenous populations share a common genomic make-up."
After six to 10 generations, that DNA would be very dilute, which was consistent with Bustamante's finding that 95 percent of Warren's DNA was European.
Researchers told us the test results fit with Warren's account of her Native American ties. Warren has said that she was told her great-great-great-grandmother was Cherokee.
That doesn't mean the woman was pure Cherokee. Counting back the generations, that woman would have been born roughly in the middle of the 1800s. By then there was plenty of mixing of different groups. What followed, however, was unpredictable.
"Different families and groups interacted in different ways with European settlers in the region," Bolnick said. "When there was intermarriage, the offspring sometimes became part of indigenous communities, and sometimes they identified with non-indigenous groups."
Tribal identity, she said, is more cultural than biological. On top of that, tribes don't have unique DNA.
"There are not genetic markers that are specific to tribal nations," Bolnick said. "The genetic patterns don't map on to tribal groups that we recognize today."
According to Schurr, the most that can safely be said is that Warren's test results "may reflect a genetic contribution from a tribe living in what is now the United States."
The DNA test can't prove every part of Warren's family story, but the researchers we reached said it is consistent with her account.

Former Grand Prix driver Patrick Nève will be celebrating his 62nd birthday today!
Born into a wealthy Belgian family in Liege, Patrick – whose full name is (wait for it!) Patrick Marie Ghislain Pierre Simon Stanislas Nève de Mévergnies – contested in 14 Formula 1 Grands Prix between 1976 and 1978 without scoring a championship point.
A one-time pupil at Jim Russell's racing school, Nève later worked there as an instructor to finance his own racing career. Plenty of practice in the school's Merlyn was enough to see him win the STP Formula Ford title in 1974.
He graduated to Formula 3 in 1975, doing well enough to earn a test with Brabham and a Grand Prix debut at the 1976 Belgian Grand Prix with RAM.
He followed this up with a few more non-championship outings before Emilio de Villota replaced him, but Nève later had a one-off outing with Ensign before the year was out.
Third place in the 1977 International Trophy Formula 2 race at Silverstone behind the wheel of a works March helped him secure funding from Belgium's Belle-Vue brewery and a drive with the post-Wolf Williams team.
With the team running a March 761, Nève performed reasonably well, peaking with seventh at Monza.
But the relationship fell apart after the Canadian Grand Prix, and Nève was unable to secure a permanent berth with another team.
Nève later raced in sports cars and touring cars, competing at Le Mans as well as being a regular competitor in the Belgian touring Car Championship and the Spa 24 Hours enduro.

For men however, the act of carrying women's clothing in public is one thing of an act of defiance. I'm just going to list the choices you may have for some essential clothing elements here, plus info on different phrases. In Western societies, skirts , clothes and high-heeled sneakers are often seen as women's clothing, whereas neckties are normally seen as men's clothing. Clothes made of fabrics that breathe assist pull moisture away out of your body and permit it to evaporate. Shop for summer season cotton outfits in number of colours to epitomize fashionable elegance and funky aptitude. In the event you wish to re-use the pattern, or wish to attempt a couple of measurement, trace the sample dimension you need onto other items of paper before you start. Body lice is an indicator of clothes-sporting, since most humans have sparse physique hair, and lice thus require human clothing to survive.
One other essential thing (if not a very powerful factor) to look for when choosing material for your clothing tasks is the weight. The very fact is we have now for thus many generations been brought as much as consider elements of human habits, that men are this and lady are that. Channel Kim Okay. in a tribal summer season dress with a crossbody bag for a day of buying.
Clothing performs a spread of social and cultural capabilities, such as individual, occupational and gender differentiation, and social standing. They're a good suggestion too if you're nervous about making the 'real' clothes item out of dearer cloth right away. Though tolerated by most, a male donning female clothing remains within the realm of perversion. Your measurement might not be available and chances are you'll want to mix and match tops and bottoms. Nonetheless, summer season t-shirts can all the time be layered all through the winter so it's not a bad concept to grab a few bargains. Selecting summer time garments fabrics and colours is step one towards gearing up for summer.
In scorching climates, clothes gives protection from sunburn or wind harm, while in cold climates its thermal insulation properties are usually extra vital. Aesthetics are shaped by what we are used to. If more males had been brave sufficient to defy the cultural conventions and wear girls's garments we'd see attitudes change. When women first wore trousers, males accused them of being ugly and unfeminine too, now there are only a few ladies who don't personal a pair. Many stores will begin to mark down swimwear in early summer season and really not often does a good selection make it to clearance racks at the finish of the season.
Male garments are sometimes extra sensible (that is, they'll operate nicely beneath a wide variety of situations), however a wider vary of clothing types are available for females. In the event you're purchasing online, take your measurements and discuss with the sizing charts available for a lot of objects on In case you go to the shop, strive clothes on to make sure they're comfortable and don't limit motion. The very best thing about your go-to summer time costume, is that it can be occasion ready instantly! But another option throughout summer time can be to wear materials made from cotton and polyester mix with an even bigger proportion of cotton. Used, unwearable clothing can be used for quilts , rags , rugs , bandages , and plenty of other household uses.

Teide last erupted in 1909 from the El Chinyero vent, on the Santiago Ridge. Historical volcanic activity on the island is associated with vents on the Santiago or northwest rift (Boca Cangrejo in 1492, Montañas Negras in 1706, Narices del Teide or Chahorra in 1798 and El Chinyero in 1909) and the Cordillera Dorsal or northeast rift (Fasnia in 1704, Siete Fuentes and Arafo in 1705). The 1706 Montañas Negras eruption destroyed the town and principal port of Garachico, as well as several smaller villages.
Historical activity associated with the Teide and Pico Viejo stratovolcanoes occurred in 1798 from the Narices del Teide on the western flank of Pico Viejo. Eruptive material from Pico Viejo, Montaña Teide and Montaña Blanca partially fills the Las Cañadas caldera. The last explosive eruption involving the central volcanic centre was from Montaña Blanca around 2000 years ago. The last eruption within the Las Cañadas caldera occurred in 1798 from the Narices del Teide or Chahorra (Teide's Nostrils) on the western flank of Pico Viejo. The eruption was predominantly strombolian in style and most of the lava was ʻAʻā. This lava is visible beside the Vilaflor–Chio road.
Christopher Columbus reported seeing "a great fire in the Orotava Valley" as he sailed past Tenerife on his voyage to discover the New World in 1492. This was interpreted as indicating that he had witnessed an eruption there. Radiometric dating of possible lavas indicates that in 1492 no eruption occurred in the Orotava Valley, but one did occur from the Boca Cangrejo vent.
The last summit eruption from Teide occurred about the year 850 CE, and this eruption produced the "Lavas Negras" or "Black Lavas" that cover much of the flanks of the volcano.
About 150,000 years ago, a much larger explosive eruption occurred, probably of Volcanic Explosivity Index 5. It created the Las Cañadas caldera, a large caldera at about 2,000 m above sea level, around 16 km (9.9 mi) from east to west and 9 km (5.6 mi) from north to south. At Guajara, on the south side of the structure, the internal walls rise as almost sheer cliffs from 2,100 to 2,715 m (6,890 to 8,907 ft). The 3,718 m (12,198 ft) summit of Teide itself, and its sister stratovolcano Pico Viejo (3,134 m (10,282 ft)), are both situated in the northern half of the caldera and are derived from eruptions later than this prehistoric explosion.

digital solutions to improve democracy
Africa's Largest Volunteer Driven Open Data Platform.
openAFRICA aims to be largest independent repository of open data on the African continent.
openAFRICA is not a government portal. It is instead a grassroots initiative, maintained by Code for Africa as a public service. The platform is therefore available as a free resource for ordinary citizens, civil society organisations, civic activists, the media, and government agencies.
You can upload your data to openAFRICA to either store it, or to make it available to a wider public. You can also download data already on openAFRICA for re-use in your own projects. We are happy to help you both upload / re-use data.
Much of the data on openAFRICA has been 'liberated' by pioneering organisations, volunteers or activists. It is therefore an eclectic collection that is far from comprehensive. You will, however, find datasets here that are difficult to access elsewhere. If there is crucial data that you can't find here or elsewhere, ask and we might be able to help you liberate it
All of the data on openAFRICA is intended to be 'actionable'. The data is meant to help you change the world. We therefore want you to analyse it, visualise it, share it, and build tools or services with it.
openAFRICA runs with support from Code for Africa, the World Bank and Google.

Money Stress: Is It A Disorder Issue?
Why is "money" at the top of the stress list? The immediate response is "because we don't have enough of it!" But in many ways, the reverse might be more accurate: We get stressed because we have to deal with so much of it, and so often. Even Americans who consider themselves less than wealthy have many decisions and transactions involving money every day, for almost everything. Because it is inextricably intertwined with almost every part of our lives, money significantly influences our sense of well-being. If we mess up with money, it messes with our contentment. And it's not hard to mess up.
A Comprehensive Balance Sheet For Personal Finance
An Internet search for "personal finance software" shows there's no shortage of technology available to help you establish financial order. Just about every program will aggregate your data, balance your checkbook, communicate with your financial institutions, and produce reports, charts, and graphs. But data is meaningless without an interpretative framework. There must be a model that gives meaning to the numbers, evaluates success or failure, and provides guidance for future decisions. Using a comprehensive balance sheet program is a "lifestyle change." It's not a 30-day plan to regain your financial shape that only comes into play when things have gotten out of hand. You should expect an adjustment period, but over time, this new approach should be more organized yet less time-intensive. When you are fully engaged in the process, the result is a "living" balance sheet, one that gives relevant real-time feedback, keeps you focused financially, and helps free you to enjoy the passions and pleasures in your life.
A Moat Around a Pup Tent
A moat and a pup tent are two things we normally don't associate with each other. The pairing is almost an oxymoron (like "jumbo shrimp"), and the mental image brought to mind seems ridiculous, because for most of us, a moat belongs around a castle, not a pup tent. But by the time you finish this article, a moat and a pup tent may be permanently – and logically – linked in your consciousness. You're about to experience the power of context.
"Shocking" Probabilities For Future Retirees
For example, when the weatherman says there is a "chance of precipitation," how high does it have to be for you to grab your umbrella? 50 percent? 70 percent? If recent information regarding retirement in the United States represents a coming trend, it may be wise to make sure some financial umbrellas are on hand. Given the possibilities/probabilities of longer lives that include retirement shocks, it should prompt both retirees and those on the cusp of retirement (and their children) to consider protective financial measures. Is your retirement protected?
A Primer on Progressive Taxation
One of the ongoing discussions regarding tax-favored accumulation is whether it is better for savers to incur taxes on the "seed" or the "harvest." Some tax-favored vehicles, such as Roth IRAs, require after-tax deposits (the seed), in exchange for tax-free growth and distributions. Other qualified retirement plans (like IRAs and 401(k)s) offer pre-tax deposits but impose tax on the distribution (the harvest). Which approach is better? Understanding of the history and dynamics of the progressive income tax in the United States can be helpful in making a decision.
Maximizing Your Good Fortune Through Financial Intelligence
The research has been done. The numbers have been crunched. The conclusions are clear, and they are discouraging. Americans are in bad shape: we don't save enough; we have too much debt; we aren't adequately prepared for retirement. And, oh yeah…we're fat, too. At least that's what can be concluded from surveys about the "average" American. But what does "average" really mean? And does it apply to you?

Avoid this common hazard of being in the hospital
By: Beverly Merz, Executive Editor, Harvard Women's Health Watch My mother was lucid and alert when she was hospitalized for pneumonia. But by the middle of the first night, she was wondering how she had ended up at a "hotel" that allowed strangers to enter her room at all hours. The second night, she wandered into the corridor, slipped, and fractured a hip. She didn't leave the hospital alive.

It's finally time to take a look at Grand Seiko's highly-anticipated Peacock SBGJ227! The SBGJ227 has combined a very special dial with their most sophisticated mechanical movement, so there's a lot to discuss here.
Of course, the first thing we have to examine is this amazing dial, from which the Peacock derives its name. In GS' advertisements, it's shown as a very bright green, but in real life, it actually has a lot of blue to it, depending on the lighting. It seems that the brighter and more direct the light, the greener it gets, but there were many instances where I found the watch to actually appear blue. I don't think that's any accident. Google peacock feathers and you'll note that most green feathers also have blue areas.
The texture is also subtler and more dynamic than the stock photos would lead you to believe. Up close, we can see that this mesmerizing effect is the result of guilloche finishing combined with alternating raised and depressed areas, creating a slight sunburst effect.
This texture, intriguingly, all but disappears in many angles and less direct lighting. The dial is at once textured, yet incredibly smooth and glossy. It's easily one of the most dynamic dials Grand Seiko has ever created, seemingly transforming both texture and color based on the environment it's placed in. It's this characteristic that makes GSes so difficult to photograph, because no single photograph can capture how they appear in real life.
As is often the case with green Grand Seikos, gold accents are used for contrast against the backdrop.
I would hesitate to describe the SBGJ227's dial as dark--it's somewhere in between--but Grand Seiko has opted to use their brushed dauphine hands to increase legibility nonetheless, creating a bright outline thanks to their polished angular edges. Thankfully, GS has avoided the use of lume here, which would unnecessarily obscure the beautiful finishing.
It's also a GMT watch, hence the matte gold GMT hand, which points to a 24 hour chapter ring. Like all Grand Seiko GMTs, this is a "true GMT" complication, as the hour hand is independent.
As a result, the date is changed by moving the hour hand as opposed to a conventional quickset. The date on the SBGJ227 is a brushed silver ring, which, when combined with the applied date frame, gives the date the feeling of just being another hour marker, integrating surprisingly well on the green dial.
This angle is one of few that shows both its smooth, highly glossy character (note the reflection of the minutes hand) yet simultaneously shows its "peacock" texture. It also illustrates some of the bluer hues that you'll encounter while wearing the watch in the real world.
Opinions on the "2.0" dials have been mixed, even from myself, but the SBGJ227 has a much more balanced approach with a gold GMT offsetting the gold GS above.
The 40mm case is a bit more conventional than the dial, with GS' popular and time-tested alternating brushed and polished sections. 40mm is my personal favorite size for Grand Seikos (the GS I'm wearing as I type this is also 40mm).
The crown screws down for your usual 100 meters of water resistance, should you decide you need to swim in your Grand Seiko for some reason. As per thickness, my measurement came in slightly under Grand Seiko's 14.4mm, which is, frankly, a little thicker than I'd like. That is the inevitable consequence of adding a complication, however, so you're trading a bit of thickness for the GMT functionality.
Perhaps the most interesting aspect of the case is the finishing of the ends of the lugs, which is quite complex.
I've always wanted to show people the subtle watermark on the crystal. Unfortunately, my photography has never been sufficient to show it. Thankfully, I was able to adequately capture it this time with the camera and, through the magic of Photoshop, make it visible for everyone. Now that you've seen where it is, see if you can spot it in the following non-enhanced images.
The SBGJ227 is powered by the 9S86, the highest-end mechanical movement Grand Seiko produces and the direct rival to the 9R66 spring drive.
While the spring drive has somewhat become synonymous with Grand Seiko these days, traditionally speaking, it's the Hi-Beat that the brand is best known for. It was the pioneering Grand Seiko Hi-Beats of the late 1960s that allowed Seiko to compete successfully in chronometer trials and created the legend that is GS. For traditionalists, then, the 9S85 and 9S86 are clearly the movements to choose.
Like all contemporary Grand Seiko mechanical movements, the 9S86 is adjusted to six positions rather than the usual five found in Swiss chronometers.
The key to the 9S86, as opposed to the more affordable 9S66, is found here, the 36,000 BPH escapement. This amazing watch beats 10 times per second, creating a supremely smooth seconds hand and a very stable movement.
Like all mechanical Grand Seikos, a regulator/smooth balance combination is utilized. This simple, but effective, design is shared by its only large-volume 36,000 BPH contemporary, the Zenith El Primero. The advantage of the regulator is that the watch can have its rate altered very easily down the road.
Here's the balance wheel, the other half of that equation. Also note the Spron 610 hairspring, made from a special cobalt-nickel alloy. It took five years to develop the hairspring used in the 9S85 and 9S86 alone.
Of course, beating 25% faster than almost all other modern watches isn't free, so the power reserve of the 9S86 is 55 hours, compared to 72 for the 9S66. Still, when you keep in mind that the vast majority of watches today have a 40 hour power reserve, and those aren't even high-frequency, 55 starts to sound pretty good.
A movement cannot, or at least, should not, be reduced to mere engineering, but should also be examined aesthetically. The 9S86 is a very unique looking movement, thanks to its "Tokyo stripes," GS' take on Switzerland's Côtes de Genève. They're most easily differentiated from their Swiss competitors by their diagonal layout, but they also have an intriguing multichromatic quality to them when viewed in very bright light.
That finishing is probably best appreciated on the beautiful rotor, which has been somewhat skeletonized to less obscure the movement behind it. As pretty as it is, I'd absolutely love to see a manual-winding Hi-Beat (9S84, I suppose it would be called). Still, the SBGJ227 is a sports watch with a screw down crown, so the automatic makes sense here.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of great things about the 9S86 that I can't show you here, being hidden by other components, like the skeletonized pallet fork, or invisible to the naked eye, like the MEMS manufacturing technology, capable of achieving 0.001 MM precision. You can't see them, but they are in there, making your watch better.
So that's the SBGJ227, the aptly-named Peacock. Do you beat yourself up for missing out on the ultra-popular green-dialed SBGJ005? Well, you probably should, but you don't have to repeat that mistake. The SBGJ227 is, in my opinion, significantly better looking than the SBGJ005. I like both its texture and its color more.
Grand Seiko must have learned its lesson from that quickly-sold out watch, as there are 700 of these Peacocks compared to 600 SBGJ005s. Better yet, the SBGJ227 is not only prettier, but more affordable too, priced at $6,500 compared to $7,250 for the SGBJ005. Is it the best of the SBGJ series? Well, yes. It is. The SBGJ001/201 is a close second, but this is pretty clearly the one to get.

Gimme a break: Next Android called 'Kit Kat'FULL ARTICLE LINK - http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57601119-93/gimme-a-break-next-android-called-kit-kat/ (http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57601119-93/gimme-a-break-next-android-called-kit-kat/)
The next version of Android will be called Kit Kat, as in the Nestle chocolate wafers, and comes with a contest to win Android and Google Play swag.
by Seth Rosenblatt | September 3, 2013 10:22 AM PDT
Google has announced that the upcoming version of its Android mobile operating system will be called Kit Kat, licensing the name from Nestle.
Android chief Sundar Pichai, in a Google+ post, revealed that Android has passed 1 billion activations and noted the Kit Kat branding of Android 4.4. This is the first time that Google had gone with a branded name for Android, which in the past have been generics like "Eclair" and "Jelly Bean."
Google says that the idea for branding Android 4.4 was developed internally, and that no money was spent either by Google or Nestle on the deal, according to a BBC report.
Google chose to change the "K" release of Android to Kit Kat from Key Lime Pie in part because, "we realized that very few people actually know the taste of a Key lime pie," said John Lagerling, Android's director of global partnerships. The flavor of Kit Kats, he said, is more familiar to programmers than Key lime pie, which happens to be the official Florida state pie.
The deal, which will involve Nestle shipping more than 50 million Android-branded Kit Kats across 19 countries, was finalized at a secret meeting earlier this year at Barcelona's Mobile World Congress. In an age of news leaks, the deal was kept secret by both companies, despite the fact that packaging production began more than two months ago.
According to the official Android Kit Kat site, there will be opportunities to win Android swag when you purchase soon-to-be-released Android-branded Kit Kats, including a Nexus 7 and Google Play credit.

Being single is such an interesting space to be in....on one hand you are free to do whatever you want to. if you decide that you want to move to the tip of chile to run an eco-hotel catering to drunk germans then that's what you do with out having to ask or consider the effect it will have on anyone else. on the other hand it sucks realizing that most of your friends and all the men you have ever loved, been involved with, slept with what have you are coupled and possibly procreating like freaking rabbits while you go home to an empty bed. the good and the bad, there are days when the freedom is something i want to bathe in and other days where i would give anything to have to factor another person into my decisions.
i firmly believe that we as people are fundamentally created for relationships (with a lover as well as other forms such as friendships, family, ect) yet what happens when the specific area of romantic relationships is and has been lacking for years? what to do with that longing and desire for connection. the wisdom and practicality in me says that waiting for the right relationship is good and anyway we really don't need a distraction right now. in turn the other side of me is screaming that she would like some freaking human contact...what's that line of carries from the la/train episode of "sex & the city" "I just want to feel the weight of a man on top of me". sleeping alone sucks, as well as sleeping with someone can if i recall (yes it really has been that long). so what's the remedy there is only so much chocolate/alcohol/ (insert form of numbing) before you are so frustrated you just want to hit someone or something.
there is no answer just being present with what you are feeling and not let it conquer your brain and take control. neither a hijacked or obsessive brain will be a salve for this place. if i ever find a solution i'll let you know for sure it is not moving back into your parent's house and working all the time. maybe it is just being and forgetting about everything except for what you are working for.

MS Dhoni retired from Test cricket Tuesday after the third Test against Australia ended in a draw in Melbourne. Virat Kohli will lead the Indian team as captain in the final Test match against Australia in Sydney. India have already lost the four match Test series.
The announcement came as a surprise to cricket fans as Dhoni made no mention of his decision during the match or at the post match press conference. It was only after the PC that the Board of Control for Cricket in India sent a press release revealing Dhoni's decision.
The release cited "strain of playing all formats of cricket" as the reason behind Dhoni's sudden decision.
The press release stated: "One of India's greatest Test captains under whose leadership India became the No. 1 team in the test rankings, MS Dhoni, has decided to retire from Test cricket citing the strain of playing all formats of cricket," the board said. "BCCI, while respecting the decision of MS Dhoni to retire from Test cricket, wishes to thank him for his enormous contribution to Test cricket and the laurels that he has brought to India. Virat Kohli will be the captain of the Indian team for the fourth and final Test against Australia to be played in Sydney."
Soon after the announcement, batting legend Sachin Tendulkar tweeted, "Well done on a wonderful career in test cricket @msdhoni. Always enjoyed playing together. Next target 2015 WC my friend!!"
Although 2014 has not been a very fruitful year for MS Dhoni – he averaged 33 in 17 innings this year and suffered from fitness issues – MS has been the most successful captain of the Indian cricket team. India have won 27 Tests out of 60 under Dhoni's captaincy and enjoyed No 1 Test ranking position from 2009 till the tour of England in 2011. Dhoni has scored most runs (3454) than other India captains, holds the record of highest individual score (224) by an Indian skipper or wicket-keeper, most dismissals and catches by an Indian wicket-keeper.
Dhoni has also played more number of matches than any other cricketer since 2008 after he took over as captain of Team India. He not only led the Men in Blue in all three formats of cricket but also the Chennai Super Kings IPL franchise and played in the Champions League T20. The former captain has played whopping 398 matches since the start of 2008.

Frequently Solved Problems
How can I give my sales team better leads?expand_less
Many marketers focus on building high-volume lead lists, which create more work (and headaches) for the sales team. Sales spends more effort on no- or low-quality leads, which takes their time away from building meaningful relationships with high-potential customers. The solution is to focus on lead quality rather than quantity. By aligning digital marketing efforts with sales goals, Tenlo is able to capture only high-value leads and drive them through the sales pipeline faster.
How can I do more with my CRM data?expand_less
CRM data gives digital marketers the insights we need to more accurately target buyers and their influencers throughout the sales process. By delivering relevant and informative content, we help prospective B2B and CPG customers make purchase decisions faster, which helps the sales team improve their close rates.
Why isn't our sales team converting more leads into actual customers?expand_less
More than likely, the leads are lower quality and not in the market to buy. But there's an easy way to fix that. Rather than building a high-volume lead list, we focus on capturing fewer, high-quality sales leads. Then, we use pipeline marketing to help the sales team quickly move these prospects through the sales funnel to close more sales and do it faster.
Why aren't my marketing technologies working?expand_less
Martech isn't an easy-button solution. Each technology in your stack must be designed to solve a specific pain point or provide an identified opportunity for measurable improvement. Without a clear reason for buying martech, it won't be adopted within your company. Tenlo offers technology change management services to help businesses integrate technology with their digital marketing strategy.
How do I drive more traffic to our website?expand_less
More customers than ever research on their own before ever talking to a salesperson. That's what makes your website so important. During integrated planning, we determine the best tactics, such as paid search, email and SEO to drive more paid and organic traffic to your website. However, marketers often neglect the site structure itself. Through experience strategy, we set your website up for success by making it easy for visitors to quickly find the information they're looking for and need to make a purchase decision.
Which marketing channels are most effective for my business?expand_less
Every business is different, so we believe you should have your own custom channel plan. To determine your right digital marketing channels, we use a "Test > Optimize > Scale" approach. We use small, rapid tests to determine which channels are most effective to reach your ideal customers.

Huskies ready to get back to work (video)
SOUTHINGTON -- As Geno Auriemma made his way toward his office for the first time since leading the United States to the FIBA World Championship title, senior point guard Lorin Dixon was waiting.
However, before giving her coach a hearty welcome home embrace, Dixon had a better greeting for Auriemma -- a stinging barb meant for the king of the caustic one-liners.
"I got home, I went to the office the other day and saw Lorin Dixon and she said 'hey, you still coach here?'" Auriemma said with a laugh at the Aqua Turf where the 2009-10 national champion Huskies held a championship celebration dinner. "I said 'I'll let you know after the next workout.'"
Auriemma and All-American Maya Moore returned to campus earlier this week both elated and weary after helping the United States win back the world title. Both Auriemma and Moore wiped away any lingering bouts of jet lag as the opportunity reflect on a magical 2009-10 season gave both the teacher and pupil an added jolt of adrenaline.
"When you hang out with the pros, you begin to realize how special college is and how special we have it here to have this support," Moore said. "You come in as a freshman and you don't realize ... I am very appreciative of everybody here knowing this is my last year, you realize how special it is to have a group that cares that much about not only basketball but women's basketball here at UConn. This is my last go around for everything, I want to enjoy it."
Thursday night was all about reveling in the accomplishments of the Huskies' seventh national championship. Rebecca Lobo, a star on UConn's first national championship squad, was the master of ceremonies, Tina Charles returned from her stint as a member of the gold-medal winning U.S. team at the World Championships to take part in the festivities and there were 720 people in attendance for an event up from 660 a year ago.
"It means a lot for everybody to come back, we got to see everybody, have a lot of fun and get to mingle with a lot of different people out there," UConn junior guard Tiffany Hayes said. "The fans that came to show their appreciation.
"A lot of people are going to celebrate at our dinner. We are pretty much focused on the season coming in, we want to celebrate this with the five seniors that we lost last year. It is going to be their last one so we'll make it (a good one) for them but at the same time we want (to focus) on (this year)."
Although the returning UConn players have long since turned their attention to the upcoming season, there was a sense of closure at the championship dinner before the Huskies go through the final several days of individual workouts leading up to the first official practice on Oct. 16.
"I think you want to put an end to it," Auriemma said. "You want the whole championship thing to be set aside before the season starts so this is a good opportunity to do that. You want the freshmen to see 'this is what we do at Connecticut. This is how it is.' You come here and the expectation level is you'd better be good enough to be standing at that podium talking about your team at some point. A night like tonight sends a lot of messages."
The messages, including the fact that any talk of winning streaks like UConn's current Division I women's basketball record 78-game run, is little more than idle chatter hasn't been lost on the five freshmen.
"We don't bring it up that much," UConn freshman guard Lauren Engeln said. "We don't talk about the streak really."
What the freshmen will be talking about in the coming days are UConn's notorious challenging practices which are often tougher than the games Connecticut plays.
"I am looking forward to next Saturday's practice because I really want to see ...," Auriemma said. "There are going to be a couple of times when I just look out there, kind of smile and say 'man, that is not how it looked three weeks ago (when he was coaching the U.S. national team).'"

XX Manal
By October 2015 I had lost an amazing 20 kgs and looked and felt great! I even fitted into a dress that I had made when I was 24 years old and hadn't worn in 15 years. In 2016 I was turning 40 and knew I wanted to approach the next decade of my life fit and fabulous. I decided on a bootylicious goal to run a marathon. I saw a nutritionist who helped work out how to fuel my body for distance running and engaged a running coach. I not only ran and completed two marathons in 4 months but I had the time of my life doing it! All those cold dark mornings training in Winter and the sacrifices were worth everything in the long 'run' - pun intended!
At the start of this year I decided I wanted to tweak things and focus on becoming a better runner through increasing my strength. I was thin and fit but didn't have the muscle or strength I wanted. I noticed a post on Instagram and instantly was attracted to Manal's huge friendly smile and impressive credentials. I knew she was the new trainer for me!
I commenced training in March this year with Manal and have gone from not being able to do more than 5 push ups in a row to doing 3 sets of 30! I have increased my strength and confidence and only three weeks ago completed the Husky half marathon and took five minutes off my time. I am now without a doubt the fittest I have ever been in my life.
Manal is an extremely dedicated and an inspirational coach and a woman who really knows how to get the best out of people and it shows in the results! She is genuinely interested in her clients and their goals and takes a very personal approach to being a PT. I look forward to my sessions with her as I know she is pushing me to my absolute limits and making me realise that I have so much more grit and determination than I ever knew. I am so looking forward to working with Manal to smash my next marathon in Maui in January 2018!
I now believe that through a healthy and fit lifestyle I have managed to juggle my career, be a good wife and mother of young twins and to live my life the absolute full and be the best version of me....for MYSELF!! NEVER GIVE UP! xx
Zucchini Bake
I love the versatility of zucchini and as a vegetarian I have many versions of this recipe on hand. Ready within the hour and amazing hot or cold. This particular recipe is from the
Heathly Life
website. Enjoy xx
Eat Clean Cheesy Zucchini Bake
Makes 4-6 servings
2 medium-sized zucchini, cut in slices
2 medium-sized yellow squash, cut in slices
2 T chopped fresh basil
2 T sliced green onion
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
3/4 tsp. garlic powder
1/2 cup Mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup coarsely grated Parmesan
salt and fresh ground black pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 170C. Spray an 8″ x 8″ baking dish with non-stick spray. Wash the squash and cut in slices. Wash basil, dry with paper towels and finely chop. Slice green onions.
Combine the sliced squash, chopped basil, sliced green onions, dried thyme, garlic powder, and 1/4 cup Mozzarella cheese and stir together until the veggies are coated with cheese and the herbs are well-distributed. Season with salt and fresh ground black pepper. Put the mixture in the baking dish and bake uncovered for about 25-30 minutes.
When the zucchini is nearly cooked through, take the casserole dish out of the oven and sprinkle over the remaining 1/4 cup of grated cheese and 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Put the dish back in the oven and bake 10-15 minutes longer, or until the cheese is melted and nicely browned and zucchini is fully cooked. Serve hot.
Running Festival wrap up
I've raced a lot this year, Parkruns, Sydney Striders 10km monthly series, various half marathons, but I always set an annual target race to aim for. This year it was the Blackmores Half Marathon, September 17, my 25th race of the year. Why this one? It's in our beautiful home city, temperature is usually perfect - not too hot, not too cold - a spring race, yipee!! I can't say training was specific to this race as there's always a race to train for, so my weekly km's remain at an average of 50. What's differed? Cross training and diet. As a trainer I know that if you want something to change you need to make changes. So for the 3rd time this year I've dragged my clients along with me down the sugar free road. September has been sugar free (as was February and June) and somehow the easiest transition of the 3 attempts. I've also upped the intensity of my crosstraining - challenging boxing and muay thai sessions with actual fighters... yep it's mouthguard training!! So my aim was sub 100 minutes. I came in at a very satisfying 99mins 31 secs.
Focusing on the next goal always keeps me hungry to achieve, makes me wake up at crazy times to train and keeps me honest. Having a fit community of like-minded people to bounce ideas off also helps with motivation. I feel so fortunate that I am able to get to do this, when so many others can't.
Need help with a goal? Send me a message and let's get a plan sorted. You can do this too!
Manal xx
Siobhan's 10km race
"In a moment of madness, I decided to enter the Blackmores Sydney Bridge Run. In my horror I realised it was now a 10km run. I knew I could run a slow 5km but did not know whether I could finish a 10km run. With only 5 weeks notice, Manal outlined a practical program to help me prepare for the run. With her advice, I gently upped my running distance on a weekly basis by running 90 seconds with 30 seconds walk - then when I hit the 10km distance, we worked on increasing the run time and decreasing the walk time. On the day of the run, I was able to jog the 10km without stopping once and felt so strong at the end. Thank you Manal for the constant support and encouragement!"
So proud of Siobhan's determination and "can do" attitude. What an absolute star!!
Siobhan's 5 week plan went roughly like this:
Week 1
: 90 sec run/ 30 sec walk - 5km, 2 - 3 times per week plus cross training
Week 2 :
2 min run/ 30 sec walk - 6km, 2 - 3 times per week plus cross training
Week 3:
3 min run/ 30 sec walk - 7km, 2 - 3 times per week plus cross training
Week 4:
3 min run/ 15 sec walk - 8km & 9km, 2 - 3 times per week plus cross training
Week 5:
continual run - 10km, 2 times per week plus cross training
Race day!!

The first period of the INTERREG VB Alpine Space project S3-4AlpClusters has been mainly concerned with the role of clusters in the implementation of the Smart Specialization Strategies (S3) of the 11 participating regions. The first activities of the project aimed at getting a deeper understanding of the regional S3 and related policymaking within the partner regions and initiating mutual policy learning. Led by the lead partner HES-SO//FR HEIA-FR, Fribourg and the work package leaders VDI/VDE GmbH, Berlin and Anteja ECG, Ljubljana, a StressTest report on the role of clusters in the implementation process of S3 was produced for each participating region based on an online survey of the regional stakeholders, consisting inter alia of regional clusters and policymakers concerned with regional development and innovation policy. Drawing on these results, the policy implications were summarized in an additional policy report. Furthermore, an ongoing series of Entrepreneurial Discovery Workshops was launched under the lead of Dominique Foray (EPFL), Gerd Meier zu Köcker (VDI/VDE GmbH) and Michael Keller (HES-SO//FR HEIA-FR), where new ideas for Smart Specialization are being discussed in the participating regions in a bottom-up approach involving participants from regional firms, clusters, policymakers and representatives of the regional research and innovation-system. The results of the first workshops nourished the further analysis of the opportunities represented by synergies in regional S3, which were summarized in a report on strategic Alpine Space topics for interregional cooperation. The achieved results can be downloaded from the project website and will be a keystone for the elaboration of a joint transnational cluster action plan and a fully synchronized scheme, scheduled to be published in autumn. In addition to the publication of these first reports, the project regularly updated its stakeholders and the public through press releases and short films on its Youtube channel.
First results: download here.

"Let's run!" she whispers grazing his ear right before she starts to turn away from him.
He barely has a moment to understand that she's escaping from his grip. 'Crap' he thought as he steadied himself to trek forward, couple steps behind her.
She was running just under her maximum, breathing in through her nose and out through her lips, barely having any more oxygen in her lungs to have a conversation. But he didn't mind that she wasn't talking. He paced himself enough to keep running behind her. Watching her.
She was draped in a long cream color slip dress. It was only long for her just because she was petite. Although the dress was fitted throughout her body, clinging to her hips. Her short black waves of hair bounced with each step she took, without realizing he was matching her steps as well.
He barely had time to realize where they were and where they were heading. He didn't mind though, he trusted her more than she trusted him. He knew that.
His breathing steadied, and he had a moment to look around. They were on the streets, running. The sound of people talking, going places late at night. Clubs and bars open with semi drunk people wandering the streets. He could hear the cars driving past him, but he only heard breathing slamming into his brain and his heart thumping against his chest. The back of his throat started to burn, and he started to swallow his over produced saliva. 'How is she still managing?' he wondered.
He didn't realize she was scared. The fear was consuming her and her only goal was to run. She trusted no one. But he followed.

Eric Vidrine, PD, FIACP, FACA
Founding Pharmacist, Co-Owner
CEO, President
Eric Vidrine is PAP's co-founder, co-owner, CEO and president. Like co-founder David Mayer, he believes his job is to ensure delivery on PAP's promise of high-quality service and products. His role in that effort is overseeing the company's investment in human and capital resources that today make PAP one of the Gulf states' leading compounding pharmacies in the eyes of customers and peers. When PAP opened its $2.5 million facility in early 2013, "We were not trying to make a big statement on how far we've come. On the contrary, the investment we made is about the future. It is about maintaining the strong relationships we have built with patients and prescribers since 1998."
Eric says PAP's most valuable assets are the relationships it shares with its staff, its patients and its loyal prescribers. "The strength of those relationships is trust," he says, "and that trust is based upon the quality of our product and service and our ability to deliver on promises." Eric was raised in Lafayette. In 1994 he earned his Bachelor of Science degree in Pharmacy from Northeast Louisiana University (now University of Louisiana at Monroe). The year 2018 marked his 30th anniversary with wife Shannon. They have two children, Blair and Emily, a daughter-in-law, Victoria and a grandson, Luke. He co-founded PAP in 1998.

My son turned five this spring and we just signed on for another year at our preschool. That's a dangerous statement to make on the playground. For some reason, the age at which to send your child to kindergarten has become just as factious as our current political climate. The parties fall along two lines: send them young and get the edge or wait a bit and ease them in. Our son has special needs that are currently being well taken care of in his inclusive preschool, which puts us firmly in the "easing in" camp.
We are nice and cozy where we are and public kindergarten will still be there in a year. Many of his friends are already cruising the school supply aisles with their moms in search of the perfect first-day-of-school backpack and pencil case. I'm waiting to see if "Moana" will beat "Frozen" in the lunchbox department. If you're on the fence about whether to go or stay, here are a few questions to ask yourself about the great kindergarten debate.
1 | Is my child physically ready?
Kindergarten means structure. Kindergarten means lesson plans and goals and homework and targeted skill sets and the first step on the path to academia. It also means sitting in place for long periods of time and short or non-existent naps. It means acting like a big kid and staying in your seat and staying quiet when the teacher is talking and everyone else is trying to learn.
All of this requires a certain level of physical maturity, of self-discipline. The Washington Post, in an article on the benefits of delaying kindergarten until age seven, reports that "many early childhood experts have expressed concern about forcing very young children to sit and do academic work, arguing that kids learn best through structured play." Every kid has a different stillness threshold. Only you, as the parent, knows if your child is physically ready to tackle the full academic day at age five, six, or seven.
2 | Is my child mentally ready?
Ask me this on a Monday morning and I'll give you a different answer than I would on Friday evening before bedtime. Mental readiness is key in considering whether your child is ready for the big leap – and I don't mean knowing his numbers and letters and first reader books. I mean attention span. I mean the ability to listen to someone talk for more than two minutes without drifting off mentally and physically.
Children and goldfish have probably the same length of concentration. Some kids just might be really attentive goldfish. In a Danish survey, "The Gift of Time: School Starting Age and Mental Health" experts found that a one-year delay in the beginning of school, "dramatically reduces inattention/hyperactivity." You know how long your child can focus. If the focus is there, kindergarten is calling, but it's okay if it needs to wait. Sometimes we just need to do a few more laps in the pond.
3 | Is my current schooling situation doing the priming?
Because my son is receiving physical and occupational therapies at his preschool as well as getting the peer interaction that is such a benefit of formal schooling, we are staying put a little longer. If your child is in preschool, consider the kind of preparations he or she is already receiving. Many are now laying a lot of the groundwork for you. They are practicing the patience and lengthening that attention span and teaching peer-to-peer interaction. Sharing is caring. Wait your turn. Play nice with others. All the old adages.
If your child is already used to the routine and would feel left behind when all the friends go off to school, then you know it's time fill out that paperwork. If the backpack and thermos have already been selected, then you know what to do. The transition has to come in stages. So ask yourself, are we, at home and at preschool, already taking those small steps that will, in fact, be one giant leap for our family? If so, you're ready to rock the kindergarten circuit.
4 | Is my kindergarten the new first grade?
Do your research. If you're off to public school, find out what school your child is zoned for and dig like a reporter. Ask neighborhood parents. Ask your kid's older friends. Ask your mom group or ask your Facebook group (if you dare) and get the general consensus on the school. Is it known for its vigorous academia? What is its educational philosophy?
In an article, "Is Kindergarten the New First Grade?" that appeared in the American Educational Research Association, recent studies have shown that "accountability pressures have trickled down into the early elementary grades and that kindergarten today is characterized by a heightened focus on academic skills and a reduction in opportunities for play." This means that "they devoted more time to advanced literacy and math content, teacher-directed instruction, and assessment and substantially less time to art, music, science, and child-selected activities." So is your child's kindergarten actually first grade in disguise? If so, refer back to question #4 and ask yourself again, is my child prepared?
5 | Am I ready to ease on out of the first round of childhood?
This one's a question that no study, no data, no expert but you can answer. Kindergarten signifies the end of an era, the launching of those early years off into the sunset as you send your child on to newer adventures. It means bus rides and carpools and packed lunches and snow days. It means school friends and parent-teacher conferences and a new time schedule, with bells. "Extracurricular" will now take up residence in your vocabulary.
No longer will you be the parent with the kid at the park at 10 a.m. on a Wednesday. It's a mindset shift. If you need to hug yourself a little right now, it's okay. All good things must come to an end to make way for better things. Kindergarten will bring your child one step closer to independence, and independence is a good thing. Just think how good it felt when you crossed the potty training finish line. This is the beginning of a new race, but you're the only one who can decide when to begin.
So, if you are tuning into the great kindergarten debate and don't know which side to throw your votes behind, quiz yourself in these five areas, and answer honestly. Don't be bullied by one side or the other. You are the best advocate and expert on your family. You get to play by your own rules because you made them, the people and the rules, and you will judge in the best interest of all parties.

Experimental and numerical effects of active afterheater addition on the growth of langatate (La3Ga5.5Ta0.5O14) crystals by the Czochralski method
The Czochralski (Cz) technique under an argon/oxygen atmosphere has been used to grow 35 mm diameter La3Ga5.5Ta0.5O14 langatate (LGT) crystals along the Z-axis. Addition of an afterheater is proposed to improve the growth and crystal properties. Two furnace configurations, without and with an afterheater, are investigated experimentally and numerically. A global model for the entire furnace was used in investigating the mechanism of flow, heat transfer, melt–crystal interface shape and 3-d thermal stress considering the crystal anisotropy. Addition of the afterheater changes considerably the thermal field in the growth atmosphere. A decrease of 56% of the maximum von Mises stress and 30% of the interface convexity are found through the use of the afterheater. Experimentally, a more stable growth has been achieved and this resulted in a good quality crystal.
