What is a nebuliser?
If you're living with asthma, COPD or another respiratory condition you may have read about nebulisers, or your healthcare professional may have recommend that you use a nebuliser machine. A nebuliser is an electronic device which works by transforming liquid medicine into a fine mist or spray which can then be easily breathed in via a mask or mouthpiece. They are used when a larger dose of medicine needs to be inhaled into the lungs, or when an inhaler alone is proving to be an inadequate form of treatment.
How does a nebuliser work?
These respiratory machines deliver fast and effective treatment to those who need it. The device users a compressor to force oxygen or air through the liquid medicine that sits in the chamber of the machine. This action causes the liquid medication to be turned into a breathable mist. This mist is then drawn into the connecting tube by the person breathing through the mask or mouthpiece alongside the compressor pumping the medication into your lungs.
Nebulisers can be used with an array of medicines from salt water solutions to antibiotics, depending on your own individual needs. They can be used to help clear phlegm and reduce the thickness of mucus so that it can be coughed up a lot easier.
Why would you use a nebuliser?
They're an invaluable device when it comes to treating anyone, however they are especially useful for children who may also be living with a condition such as, asthma or cystic fibrosis. Nebulisers can help with wheezing, breathlessness and feelings of tightness in your chest. You may also be advised to use one to control mucus and phlegm building up.
If your inhaler hasn't worked as expected, you may be advised to use a nebuliser. Or if you have been admitted to hospital due to a flare up, or asthma attack or exacerbated breathlessness.
They are ideal if you are unable to use your handheld inhaler due to an illness or infection, or if you need to take a larger dose on your medication in one breath. The accompanying mask easily fits around your face to deliver the maximum amount of medication or you can use a mouthpiece that is placed between the lips.
What are the benefits of using a nebuliser?
The machine's design means that a large amount of medication can be inhaled by the user in one go which can be more effective. They are also used for longer periods of time to allow for more medicine to flow into the lungs. If your inhaler technique is good and your condition is managed effectively, then you may never need to use a nebuliser.
One of the other main advantages of nebulisers is that they can be portable and compact, depending the type of device available to you. They're designed to be used for both intensive and occasional use depending on your circumstances and needs. Ensure that you speak to your healthcare professional if you are unsure which one is right for you.
What types of nebulisers are available?
Your healthcare practitioner will be able to advise which type of nebuliser is right for you. However, the more common one in today's market is a compressor which uses an aerosol like compressor to turn liquid into mists. The other type available is known as ultrasonic, these work by using high frequency sound waves and vibrations to make liquid medication breathable.
Nebulisers are also separated into categories by whether they are portable or not. Perhaps a smaller portable one, like the Portable Nebuliser is ideal for when you're on the go. Its fast and quiet workings make it a great choice for children and it comes complete with two masks, one for adults and one for children.Perhaps a smaller portable one, would be ideal for when you're on the go. Their fast and quiet workings make portable machines a great choice for children and these models comes complete with two masks, one for adults and one for children.
A more robust and sturdy station design would be good for home use as well. Compact devices provide a high nebulisation time that makes them ideal for treating upper and lower respiratory tract issues. These devices also come with a range of masks and mouthpieces to suit different users, including children.
Can you get a nebuliser on the NHS?
It may be possible for you to receive a nebuliser from the NHS, and in some areas your local respiratory support service can arrange for you to use one of these devices. This may incur a fee, so make sure to check with your healthcare provider what options are available to you. If you cannot get a nebuliser on the NHS you can buy them online, or talk to one of our expert pharmacists in you local store today. However, the medication that you need to use alongside a nebuliser can be provided on a prescription from your doctor. Make sure to discuss this and your needs with your healthcare practitioner.

If you pay rent to a landlord who is also a close relative and you live in the same property then you will not be able to claim housing benefit.
If you pay rent to a landlord who is also a close relative and you do not live in the same property then you may be able to claim housing benefit. However the Council will need to ensure that the tenancy meets all the criteria of a fully commercial arrangement and will probably ask you for more details in support of your claim.
The Council cannot normally pay housing benefit if you are renting from a relative, a property that you previously owned, or if you are paying rent to a former partner/spouse.
If you are unhappy with a decision you can ask us for an explanation and a more detailed breakdown of how your claim has been assessed. This is called a 'statement of reasons'.
If, after receiving a statement of reasons, you want the decision to be looked at again you can ask for it to be reviewed by another benefit officer, not the one who made the original decision. This is called a 'reconsideration'.
If you are still unhappy, you can formally appeal against the decision which will mean it is considered by an independent tribunal organised by the Appeals Service, who are independent of the Council.

Belarus : Drop Lukashenko, not his people
The Belarusian president is set to serve a fourth term after what seems to be another rigged election. Nonetheless, the West should not turn its back on its eastern neighbour, argues Rzeczpospolita.
And so once again a Belarusian presidential election has become a problem for the West. The beating of the incumbent's rivals by the police, clubbing of anti-government protesters, arrests of opposition leaders – all that is hardly doing anything to encourage an opening towards Lukashenko's Belarus. Rather, it looks like a return to those grim times when Alexander Lukashenko was called the "last dictator in Europe".
The results of the Sunday ballot (79.67% for the incumbent) are being called into question in Minsk, with opposition sources estimating Lukashenko's score at half of that reported by government-commissioned exit polls. So what should be our reaction to the official results? Should we reintroduce sanctions against the Belarusian regime, again ban their officials from visiting the West, cut Lukashenko off from the Alpine slopes and get-togethers with Berlusconi? It is easier to say what should be our reaction to the beating of opposition candidate Vladimir Neklyayev – sharp criticism and indignation.
We should not, however, be making hasty emotional decisions. I am not suggesting we should pretend nothing has happened. A lot has happened and we should say this out loud. Explanations have to be demanded about vote counting and police attacks on opposition leaders.
Belarus isn't an easy partner for anyone
The West must not, however, vacillate between sanctions and promises, threaten the regime with a stick one day and offer the carrot on another. Did those offering a bunch of carrots before the elections really expect them to observe democratic standards? Did they expect, for instance, the poll station officials' mentality to change overnight?
Belarus is not the only country east of the EU where election results are, to put it mildly, open to doubt. And the West sees nothing wrong in talking to the other regional leaders and doing business with them. There is a certain country east of the EU where the police attacks an 82-year-old lady (Ludmila Alekseyeva, Russian opposition figure -ed) and this doesn't cause any deterioration in its relations with the West.
Mr Lukashenko has many sins on his conscience and one day his own people will probably force him to account for them. But under his reign, Belarus has strengthened its sovereignty. This isn't an easy partner for anyone. And that isn't going to change.
The West should seriously consider whether to turn its back on Lukashenko. And it certainly shouldn't be turning its back on the Belarusians. Belarus hasn't been irrevocably lost for the Western world yet.

I have updated the Web pages for the weather in Mt. Rainier NP, all of which are links on the table of contents for the photo guide, see second section in list of contents. This includes several revisions to make the information current to this year.
In addition I've added two NRCS SNOTEL snow course sites to the map Web page, the Corral Pass since northeast of the northeast (White River) area of the NP, and the Skate Creek site south of the southwest (Nisqually) area.
The Skate Creek site is a popular road connecting Ashford (highway 706) to Packwood (highway 12) with lots of trails overlooking Mt. Rainier, including the High Rock lookout. The Corral pass is near the Crystal Mountain Ski Resort.
I'll be doing a more thorough walk through and review of the Web pages and working on updating the snowpack data through the 2015 water year. I hope to have add this to the Web pages. Please let me know if you have problems or suggestions with the Web pages.

Historical Parliamentarism: Early Instances, Evolution, and Constitutional Design
Time and place:
Jun 8, 2015 09:00 AM – Jun 9, 2015 05:30 PM, Georg Sverdrup Building, Blindern, Oslo
The "negative" archetype of parliamentarism, where the government remains in power as long as the majority chooses not to remove it, is today based on the experience of only a few countries (for example, the Scandinavian countries), where the principle of assembly confidence took roots over a relatively long period of time and under restricted political competition.
Yet, the expansion of parliamentarism to more countries, coupled with the crises experienced by the older parliamentary systems of Western Europe in the course of the 20th century, has led to the progressive transformation of parliamentarism. Most parliamentary systems were established under considerably more contentious political conditions and included institutional features that were absent in the early models. As a result, a varied range of institutions became standard instruments of "positive" parliamentary design.
In this workshop, we aim to bring together researchers from the social sciences, humanities and constitutional law to discuss the ways in which parliamentary institutions have emerged in different settings. How, when and why did various countries get parliamentary practices or parliamentary constitutions?
The workshop is open with regard to theoretical and methodological approaches, as well as geographical coverage. Paper proposals that approach single case-studies or a small number of cases from a historical perspective are particularly welcome.
Paper proposals, including a brief abstract, should be sent to the organizers. The deadline for proposals is 15 March 2015. There will be no registration fees. Lunches and a workshop dinner will be provided. Unless otherwise agreed, participants are expected to take care of their own travel and accommodation expenses.
All papers will be uploaded to this website. Participants are required to send their papers to the organizers no later than 25 May 2015.

The Importance of Constitutions II: Parliamentarism, Representation and Voting Rights
We are pleased to announce an international workshop on The Importance of Constitutions in Uppsala 16-17 June 2014, a few days before the Swedish midsummer celebrations. A first meeting on the topic was arranged in Istanbul in October 2013. This time too, we invite papers discussing parliamentarism, representation and voting rights from a constitutional perspective. We expect some of the participants from the Istanbul event to join with revised or entirely new papers, but we like to invite other participants as well. We plan for a total number of around 20 participants each day.
The workshop is intended as an arena for presentation of ongoing research. Our aim is to bring together researchers from the humanities, (constitutional) law and social sciences, and the workshop provides an excellent opportunity to develop new research networks across disciplines and faculty borders.
Please contact Jörgen Hermansson (Uppsala University) and Bjørn Erik Rasch(University of Oslo) if you like to propose a paper. The deadline for paper proposals is10 May 2014, but we may accept proposals also after this date. There will be no registration fees. Lunches (Monday and Tuesday), a workshop dinner (Monday) and accommodation will be covered. Unless otherwise agreed, participants are expected to take care of their own travel expenses.

ECPR Standing Group on Parliaments' Conference on 'Parliaments and Parliamentarians – Evolution and Change in Challenging Times'
University of Vienna 26–28 June 2014
Following the Standing Group's very successful inaugural conference on 'Parliaments in Changing Times' in Dublin (2012), we are issuing a call for papers for the second conference, which will take place between 26-28 June 2014 in Vienna. As in Dublin, we are hoping to bring together 60-80 senior and junior scholars in the field to discuss the institutional evolution of parliaments and the adaptation of Members of Parliament to new challenges. The local organiser is Professor Wolfgang C. Müller of Vienna University. Professor Thomas Saalfeld (University of Bamberg) and Professor Matti Wiberg (University of Turku) will support him as academic convenors. A conference website will soon be open on www.leg2014.info
Papers and Panels
We are inviting proposals:
- either for individual papers dealing with the empirical study of contemporary parliaments and legislatures
- or for entire panels consisting of three to four papers in the areas mentioned above
Abstracts of proposed individual papers should be between ca. 150 and 300 words. Proposals for panels should name a panel chair, the names of all proposed participants and abstracts for their individual papers. All proposals should be sent to:
The deadline for proposals is 15 April 2014. The proposals will be accepted or rejected by 30 April 2014.
The registration fee will be 250 Euros and will include a Welcome Reception in the Austrian Parliament, light refreshments in all coffee breaks and the cost of two lunches. You can register online via the University of Vienna's secure website here.
The final deadline for registration and payment of the registration fee is 15 May 2014.
The local organisers have also secured very advantageous deals in various categories as far as quality and cost are concerned. They range from a budget option of 53 Euros to slightly more expensive options at around 100 Euros. All hotels are relatively centrally located or give access to the centre of Vienna through Vienna's excellent public transport network.
Reservations in four alternative hotels can be made using the University of Vienna's secure booking site here.
Please secure your accommodation as soon as possible bearing in mind the deadline for free cancellations, which you will find on the site. The final deadline for hotel bookings via this site is 15 May 2014.
Getting to Vienna by Air
Wolfgang Müller and his team have also secured a 15% discount with Austrian Airlines. The details will be sent to you as soon as you have registered.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to Thomas Saalfeld
2nd GENERAL CONFERENCE OF THE ECPR STANDING GROUP ON PARLIAMENTS
Vienna, 26-28 June 2014
This conference follows the highly successful Inaugural General Conference "Parliaments in Changing Times" hosted by our colleague Shane Martin in Dublin in 2012. The conference is very likely to take place in a central location in Vienna. The local organiser will be Professor Wolfgang C. Müller of Vienna University. With a team of colleagues from the Standing Group, I will be responsible for the programme. Further details will follow very soon. I would like to thank Wolfgang already for playing such a crucial role in providing this public good. Please make sure that you keep your diaries free for those dates!

Panel Abstract
In many countries, incoming governments need to secure the support of a parliamentary majority in a formal vote of investiture in order to take office. In practice, investiture requirements vary a lot. In some cases the entire government (or each government minister separately) must win a confidence vote after the government platform has been presented. Some parliaments elect a candidate for Prime Minister and the actual process of government formation takes place after the vote. The decision rule may be absolute or simple majority, often embedded in an elaborate multi-stage voting procedure. The aim of this workshop is to get a better understanding of what kind of investiture requirements that exist, how the various investiture rules work and what their normative properties and political effects are (e.g., for government composition and durability). We invite theoretical or analytical papers as well as empirical studies. The empirical papers may be single-country studies, comparative or statistical analyses, simulations or experimental research.

Workshop Title: Cohesion, Dissent and Partisan Politics in European Legislatures
Workshop Directors

Daniela Giannetti, firstname.lastname@example.com, BOLOGNA, Università di
There is a rich body of research on legislative politics and legislative behaviour including the study of roll call voting and party cohesion in the United States Congress and the European Parliament where scholars have used a variety of techniques such as roll-call analysis and surveys of party policy preferences based on party manifestos and expert surveys to build important datasets that have made theory building and the testing of hypotheses possible. However, research on legislative politics and behaviour at the level of national parliaments in Europe is much more limited, ad-hoc and disjointed. The objective of this workshop will be to bring together scholars working on legislative parties in European national legislatures and in the European Parliament with a view to examine the conditions under which legislative cohesion (or dissent) are generated by different structural, institutional and strategic incentives (or constraints) operating in different national parliaments and party organizations. This requires examining and measuring different aspects of legislative behaviour such as party affiliations and party switching, partisan preferences, party unity and party cohesion, legislative coalitions, factional affiliations and factional behaviour. This workshop will concentrate on legislative parties in national legislatures across Europe and in the European Parliament. Interested participants are invited to submit theoretical and empirical papers adopting (a) a theoretically informed case study approach, (b) a comparative perspective, (c) explorations of methodological issues such as the merits of applying US based roll call voting models derived from spatial models in Europe.
Legislative Scholars may be interested to note that the Research Programme on Democracy at the University of Oslo is organizing its

Workshop Abstract – Comparing Legislatures Worldwide: Roles, Functions and Performance in Old and New Democracies.
In the last years, there has been a renewed interest in legislatures, their functions and performance. This has been, to a large extent, a consequence of the availability of new data on legislative output (particularly of young democracies) and the proliferation of alternative and sophisticated methodologies that make it possible to assess the dynamic interaction between Executives and legislatures. However, most of these important recent works are single case-studies, or comparative efforts that remain limited to particular geographical areas. The workshop welcomes works that enlarge the comparative perspective and bring together old and new cases from different regions, knowledge on the functioning of legislatures under different institutional settings, and, through this effort, bridge different methodological approaches. The main purpose of this workshop is to discuss empirical work on legislatures under presidential or parliamentary regimes as well as in the case of young and consolidated democracies. Three common themes are proposed: (1) the intervention of legislatures in the lawmaking process and law production;
(2) the performance of oversight activities, in relation to the Executive and the bureaucracy; and
(3) legislative organization, that is, the set of internal factors affecting legislatures' capability to aggregate interests in the decision-making process.
PAPER PROPOSALS: Please send paper proposals fitting one or more or the lines of research as proposed above the sooner the better by email, with a title and abstract including research question, case/s, methodology and prospective results, to: firstname.lastname@example.com and email@example.com

"A farewell match is my right" – Shahid Afridi
These golden words were uttered by Shahid Afridi just a few weeks into his retirement. The underachieving allrounder mustered a prolonged career spanning three decades and went on all media platforms to demand a farewell match. The PCB didn't seem so interested at the time.
However, the tides have turned.
The PCB has made farewell offers to Shahid Afridi but it seems the latter has had change of plans. Shahid Afridi has gone on to social media to inform the world that he wont be accepting the PCB's offer due to 'commitments'. What possibly could be more important than a memorable, and some what deserved farewell match is a complete surprise to us.
Thank you for the meeting and farewell offers @najamsethi. Unfortunately due to my commitments I won't be able to take them 1/2
— Shahid Afridi (@SAfridiOfficial) April 28, 2017
Afridi being Afridi, he goes on to take credit for the farewells being afforded to Misbah & Younis, who have announced their respective retirements at the end of the West Indies tour.
My desire was to set a new trend. I'm very happy that Misbah&Younis are getting proper farewells. I hope this trend will continue in future.
— Shahid Afridi (@SAfridiOfficial) April 28, 2017
Full points to Shahid Afridi for being his contradictory egoistic self for turning down an offer he was literally begging for a few months back. This is apparently a showcase of 'self-respect' for how PCB treated him earlier, further confirming his entitlement complex.
Let's keep our fingers crossed so that we don't see another Afridi press conference announcing his return to international cricket.
The following response best encapsulates the reaction of his followers on twitter:
Lala see my bio pls 💕
How's my header 😍
Want a fav :') please lala !
— -Pesho Afridi 🇵🇰 (@Miss_Pukhtana) April 28, 2017
Simply put, the responses were exactly what you expect from an Afridi fan: 'Love you Lala' message', poems about love, jokes about Pathans, and famous quotes about self-respect. Not one rational, well-thought out reply.
Thank you for engendering a whole generation with the stupid bug, Mr. Afridi.

Pie Problem
If I eat one more piece of pie, I'll die!
If I can't have one more piece of pie, I'll die!
So since it's all decided I must die,
I might as well have one more piece of pie.
The Giving Tree
Once there was a tree…and she loved a little boy.
So begins a story of unforgettable perception, beautifully written and illustrated by the gifted and versatile Shel Silverstein.
Every day the boy would come to the tree to eat her apples, swing from her branches, or slide down her trunk…and the tree was happy. But as the boy grew older he began to want more from the tree, and the tree gave and gave.
Shel Silverstein has created a moving parable for readers of all ages that offers an affecting interpretation of the gift of giving and a serene acceptance of another's capacity to love in return.
The Unicorn
The Unicorn by Shel Silverstein
from the book "Where the Sidewalk Ends" (1974)
A long time ago when the earth was green
There were more kinds of animals than you've ever seen
They'd run around free while the world was being born
But the loveliest of them all was the unicorn
There were…
Green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
The loveliest of them all was the unicorn
Now the Lord saw some sinning, and it gave him pain
And he said, "Stand back, I'm gonna make it rain"
He said, "Hey, brother Noah, I'll tell you what to do
Build me a floating zoo
And take some of them…
Don't you forget my unicorn
Old Noah was there to answer the call
He finished up making the ark just as the rain started to fall
He marched in the animals two by two
And he called out as they went through
"Hey Lord, I got your"…
I just can't see no unicorns
Then Noah looked out through the driving rain
The unicorns were hiding, playing silly games
Kicking and splashing while the rain was pouring
Oh them silly unicorns
There were green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees
Noah cried, "Close the door, for the rain is pouring
And we just can't wait for no unicorns
And then the ark started moving, it drifted with the tide
The unicorns looked up from the rocks and they cried
And the waters came down and started floating them away
That's why you've never seen a unicorn to this day
You'll see…
You're never gonna see no unicorns
Early Birds
Oh, if you're a bird, be an early bird
And catch the worm for your breakfast plate.
If you're a bird, be an early bird—
But if you're a worm, sleep late.
Ickle Me, Pickle Me, Tickle Me Too

Releaf Meds is a premium legal Dispensary Santee. Call us at 760-440-0040.
Santee is a suburban city of San Diego with a population of 57,376. It is situated in San Diego County, California and is ideally located between the mountains of Cleveland National Forest and the Pacific Ocean. A six-lane freeway running from State Route 67 in El Cajon to Interstate 5 in La Jolla connects the city to the coastline by State Route 52. While the City of Santee is considered a part of the East County Region, the city is only 18 freeway miles away from San Diego's premier beaches.
By providing balance to the commercial, residential and retail uses, it has managed to nurture a vibrant local economy. The region once belonged to the Kumeyaay people from the village of Sinyeweche which was situated on the banks of the San Diego River. The synergy of the Metropolitan Transit System trolley station and the Santee Trolley Square shopping complex feeds off by high-density retail and residential businesses and business parks. The Padre Dam Municipal Water District provides water and sewer services in this city. A 7,220-acre open space reserve offering a permanent mountain view for Santee's western flank enhances the city's picturesque setting.
When it comes down to a dispensary, it's generally referring to a store from which certain items or types of items are dispensed, i.e., sold. A premium legal Dispensary Santee is a place through which you can get access to Medical Cannabis/Marijuana/Weed and other related items. These items sold legally under a legal setting are what you're going to have to deal with.
Dispensaries have been around the United States since the early '90s which have increased in number. Depending on the State's regulation for medical marijuana, it will affect the type of dispensary. This happens because of the diverse choice of states' within the country for recreational and medical usage of cannabis.
When you walk into most dispensaries, are going to have many different kinds of flowers, buds, on display for you to see. There may also be a possibility to smell and probably not touch them. The type of Cannabis sold at a premium legal Dispensary Santee will rely on the local laws about the legality of it. You can find dispensaries for medical and recreational use, but once again it will rely on the regulations.
Flowers ranging from indica to hybrids of all sorts to indicas will have results to show the levels of THC, terpenoids, and cannabinoids. Edibles, concentrated products, glass, tinctures, vapes, rolling papers, nails for dabbing, dabbing utensils, tonics, and salves can also be found at a dispensary.
When it comes to finding a premium legal Dispensary Santee, most people will first look on the internet. The internet is ever constant turning user-friendly, which can provide you a vast range of resources to point you in the right direction. From popular search engines such as Google to local website listing directory Yelp, you can get information on dispensaries nearby.
Cannabis smokers conduce to be a pretty close-knit tribe, and for the longest time primarily, the only way to get any information about cannabis was via word of mouth. The internet and legalization may have opened things up a bit, but asking someone with experience is better. You can ask your friends about their favorite dispensaries and see which one can suit you.

The Irony of Flame Retardants in Water: How They Get There
The Irony of Flame Retardants in Water: How They Get ThereNaturepedic mattresses don't contain chemical flame retardants, compounds with suspected connections to human health and developmental problems. Jillian Pritchard Cooke, an interior designer specializing in healthier designs and founder of Wellness Within Your Walls, has connected flame retardants to poor indoor air quality. But what about water quality?
Scientists have been finding chemical flame retardants, particularly PBDEs, in rivers and waterways throughout the world. The question has been why? A recently released peer-review study published Sept. 17, 2014 by the journal Environmental Science & Technology offers some answers.
The report was co-authored by Erika Schreder, science director with the Washington Toxics Coalition, and Mark J. La Guardia, senior environmental research scientist at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. The study examined 20 homes in the Vancouver and Longview areas of Washington state, testing for 22 chemical flame retardants in common household dust. The study found 21 chemical flame retardants in the dust in varying amounts, with 72% of total flame retardant mass made up of chlorinated organophosphate flame retardants, also known as tris. Tris is commonly found in polyurethane foam (used in mattresses, sofas, and other furniture cushioning) and is suspected of being an endocrine disruptor.
Of those 21 flame retardants, the study found that 18 could be detected in laundry wastewater. In other words, the dust appeared to be adhering to clothing and other fabrics there were then washed, with the chemicals then heading to wastewater treatment plants.
By comparing flame retardant levels in wastewater treatment plant influents to estimates based on laundry wastewater levels, the study found that laundry wastewater is likely the primary source of flame retardant chemicals in waterways.
Dust particles are small, so what volume levels of flame retardants are involved? Mass loadings to the Columbia River from each individual treatment plant showed up to approximately 251 pounds per year for the flame retardant chemical TCPP alone. The study found that a single treatment plant along the Columbia River released a combination of three Tris flame retardants at an estimated 384 pounds a year, which the Washington Toxics Coalition estimates to be the equivalent of the flame retardant used to treat 1,088 couches.
With more than 300 wastewater treatment plants in Washington, that adds up (multiple 300 by 384 and you get 115,200 pounds per year as a rough estimate). Research suggests a connection with chlorinated organophosphates and endocrine disruption in fish, but the available research is extremely limited.
The bottom line is that chemical flame retardants commonly found in mattresses and other home furnishings as well as consumer electronics potentially impact more than just people. Studies of the potentially harmful health and developmental effects of these substances must also examine what they mean for the fish and wildlife in and along our rivers and lakes.

Unhackable Cryptography?
A recent article overhyped the release of EverCrypt, a cryptography library created using formal methods to prove security against specific attacks.
The Quanta magazine article sets off a series of "snake-oil" alarm bells. The author's Github README is more measured and accurate, and illustrates what a cool project this really is. But it's not "hacker-proof cryptographic code."

Arrived on the 30th July and took me until at least Sunday 4th to be on the right timezone.
Supermarkets here are terrible. Everything has novelty features, added this or that, less of something else. Nothing is just "milk" or "bread". Farmers' markets are likely to mediate what we cook at home.
Spent the weekend at FOOcamp, which felt rather deep-end for my first weekend here. Lots of interesting people and chat.
Took first pass at looking at flats to buy – modern or edwardian?
Visited Code for America and San Francisco City Hall tech teams.
Have eaten at least 3 grilled cheese products and 2 breakfasts bigger than my head. Will be interesting to see how much heavier I am when we get our stuff off the boat (incl. scales).
Walked ~26 miles.

April 3, 2020 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
24th June 2011
The Chinese government has set itself a target of reducing carbon dioxide emissions per unit of GDP by 40 to 45 per cent from 2005 levels and to use non-fossil fuels for 15 per cent of its energy generation.
Schroders, which runs the global climate change equity fund, says that factory automation and energy efficiency are growing at around 35 per cent.

It takes a lot of time and effort to add value to a home. But it takes no time and no effort to destroy the value of your biggest investment.
After all, it's always easier to destroy something's value than to build something's value.
And if you want to reduce the value of your home by $35,000 or more, it's dead easy. Just don't clean, repair, or replace your gutters for awhile.
In a year or so, your home will start to experience several very costly problems. You'll either have to repair it yourself…or hope that you can sell it to someone for less than you bought it for.
The Foundation
When you don't see to your gutters water goes cascading back towards the foundations of your home. Water erodes the mountains into sand at the beach.
And it erodes your foundation, too, causing big cracks that will allow the home to shift. Once the foundation has cracked the walls start to buckle and the home itself becomes unsafe, so this is not a problem that you will be able to ignore for long.
The cost of foundation repair? Hefty. $10,000 is a reasonable estimate.
Water from dirty gutters tends to rot the wood around window frames, too. There's nothing that turns a home into a chill, damp place faster than water running in through the windows during a rainstorm.
The price of an individual window isn't so terrible…think $700 or so. But if your home has ten windows then you've got $7000 reasons to make sure your gutters become a priority right now.
Water damages siding, too. Siding repairs are no joke either, with the average repair sitting at around $8400.
The damage here is very visible, which means selling your house later may become even more of a challenge.
The Driveway
Gutters are also designed to shunt water away from your driveway. Your driveway is just like your foundation–prone to becoming pitted and cracked over time if water damage is allowed to accumulate.
The cost of repairs? Another $10,000 if you want to replace the whole thing.
Compare the Costs
Getting your gutters cleaned for you is a pittance compared to these costly repairs. Even getting a full, seamless aluminium gutter replacement is not going to stack up to these kinds of costs.
Without seeing your home I can't tell you exactly how much the job would cost. But I can tell you that you'll pay less than you'd pay to fix all of these issues. Do you live in Land O' Lakes, New Port Richey, Brandon, or anywhere else in the Tampa metro area? Then call us for a free estimate and find out just how much sense it makes to maintain great gutters this year.

Tess Holliday is firing back at Piers Morgan for body-shaming her Cosmopolitan cover, saying the British star shouldn't "worry about my fat ass!"
The plus-sized model went off on Twitter on Thursday after she caught wind of Morgan slamming the magazine for using her on the cover.
"To everyone saying I'm a burden to the British health care system, I'm american so you don't have to worry about my fat ass," she wrote. "Worry about what horrible people you are by whining about how me being on the cover of a glossy magazine impacts your small minded life."
This is in direct retaliation to an Instagram post by Morgan.
Sharing Tess' cover, the host slammed the UK's Cosmo for praising the size 22 model at a time he calls an "ever-worsening obesity crisis."
"Apparently we're supposed to view it as a 'huge step forward for body positivity.' What a load of old baloney," he wrote. "This cover is just as dangerous & misguided as celebrating size zero models."
This controversy definitely dampened the excitement for Tess, who posted earlier in the day, "If I saw a body like mine on this magazine when I was a young girl, it would have changed my life ?."

Restaurateur and designer Phil Winser prefers to trust his gut. "Sometimes the best projects are when you just jump in," the co-owner of Silkstone —a multi-tiered hospitality and production company responsible for restaurants The Fat Radish, The Leadbelly, and The East Pole—says. Winser is referring to his new project 58 Gansevoort, a home-for-hire in the Meatpacking District that combines the intimacy of private dinner parties with the amenities of a professional kitchen.
But 'jumping in'—that conviction inherent in a good idea, along with the will to withstand a steep learning curve— has long been Winser's formula for success. It is how he and longtime friend and business partner Ben Towill went from operating a small catering company out of their apartment to becoming two of the most prominent men at the helm of the farm-to-table movement in New York.
While 'jumping in' might be Winser's jumping off point, it is his attention to detail for the dining experience that makes his projects so in-demand. 58 Gansevoort is strategic in its curation: an Explorer's Club for the downtown set, with crocodile skulls and encased butterflies hanging against exposed brick walls. When we meet at the space it is the first taste of spring, and Winser is in the middle of seasonal menu changes. The sense of renewal is palpable: new ingredients, new projects, the future.
58 Gansevoort was a very quick, fun, personal project. I wanted to create a space that we could use for hosting dinners, or that friends and clients could use. It is 100% meant to feel like someone's home. I want the space to feel lived in. It's designed to be used for whatever you want. Chefs can come in and use the space; we're going to start a series for out-of-town chefs who can come here for the week. It is also a place for us to feature some of the brands that we work with—McIntosh, for instance, they make the best sound systems in the world—and have a place for them to show off their stuff.
In a home, everyone always gravitates towards the kitchen. We wanted to play off that, so we built this big kitchen island for people to stand around. And I like the idea that you can come up here and hang out all day or all evening, which has been happening and is really nice. I even take meetings here. But we also ensured that it is functional as a space. Most home kitchens are set up to host small groups, but we've been able to create a professional kitchen here—there is extra space and a back-of-house kitchen and commercial refrigeration and commercial ovens, even if they don't look it. The kitchen works practically as a space, which is the most important thing.
One of the great things about working with food and hospitality is that you can take it anywhere. Traveling for work is an amazing way to get to know an area, like the [Casa Fat Radish pop-up] we did in Brazil. But it can also be somewhere as close as when we did Ruschmeyer's in Montauk, or maybe soon we'll do another project nearby, in a different part of New York State.
I think all inspiration for dishes can come from restaurant experiences while traveling—they're all based on eating and meeting people. That's kind of where I started: I was very bad at learning languages but I always found that communicating through food was an incredible way of understanding people in a culture. You go to someone's house, see how they cook and who they are and what they like to eat. I always bring that back—that and memories.
I recently had one of those favorite food memories in Cuba. I've been going to Havana a lot over the past three years, and recently I went to an Italian restaurant called Le Corte de Principe in Miramar. Out came this huge chef who had run away from Italy like 15 years ago and had set up this incredible restaurant with very old-school cooking. It was 11 a.m. and he had a glass of wine in his hand. There was no menu. You could tell that he is really just doing it for the love it. It was really an amazing experience. Places like that are becoming increasingly rare. So many of my best food memories are ironically never in big, fancy restaurants.
I spent the first part of my life in London and then moved to Oxfordshire. It was really beautiful there, in the Cotswolds. When I was young, I spent holidays either traveling with my father on one of his expeditions or in England. We spent a lot of time in Sussex in the south with my godfather, who was a chef, and his wife, who I think is the greatest chef in the world. She had three boys and they had this farm and vineyard. I feel very grateful for the holidays on the farm down there. British food was a huge part of my childhood. The idea of the bringing everyone together for a Sunday roast was and still is such a part of English culture and of my family—we did it all, and it was very traditional, like in all the books. Beef with Yorkshire pudding and potatoes. Chicken and leeks. Those classic combinations. Love it. Miss it. Now I can't wait for Sunday.
Ben and I met when we were twelve. We lived near each other in England. We would spend a lot of time together while our friends went away on holiday, and we were always hanging out at home. We were BIG fans of Jamie Oliver, and we would cook and bring people over and have parties—it was mostly an excuse to drink underage.
When Ben was 16 he became very sick. We went from being these naughty boys running around at school and during the holidays, to Ben suddenly being stuck in bed for a year, the doctors unable to work out what was wrong. Eventually they discovered that the pH balance in his body had changed. By changing his diet to an alkaline diet, he got better. When you're 16, that's a big thing to go through. That's when he went on to become a chef. He went back to school in Oxford for it, and dedicated his life to it.
There's a lot of red tape in New York now. A lot. One, it's not easy to get a liquor license. It's very, very hard. Two, having enough financials to be able to sign the lease is very hard. And then the amount of time it takes to get through the department of buildings, the health department, and the fire department. Doing construction or changing something can take a year and a half. That time is money. The entry level is very hard. As a result, you're seeing the rise of big restaurant groups taking over. What we did five years ago at the Fat Radish—where it was me and Ben building the restaurant with our own hands from scratch over a year because we had a very cheap lease—well, leases have tripled over the last four years in our area and it's much more strict now. Especially if you want to do quality food in a small space, it can be very difficult to create restaurants at the level that we did.
With 58 Gansevoort in particular, it was never about the end-product. It was just about the journey of doing it, doing it quickly, making it up as we go along, and going through that process, for the love of design. I love hospitality and I love the food side of it, but I'm also really driven by the design. I love seeing it come to life. The dining experience is not just at the table. There are so many other factors that translate to make dining really incredible. You understand the 360-degrees of a space, and everything—from the smell of a space to the way the lights are to where the candles are positioned—matters. The little details are a huge part.
When Silkstone worked with Krug Champagne, we had this idea about luxury: that real luxury is not about private jets and fancy cars and celebrity, it's walking five miles on the beach, and you're hot and you're tired, and you turn around the corner and there's something waiting for you. Whatever it is—luxury is the experience of going through something to get somewhere else. And I love that. Bringing that back to our food, I see that in the people who produce our food, in the farms we work with. The amount of love and effort and hard work that the farmers put in, means that we can use the produce really simply and it will taste amazing.
That's actually where the name Silkstone came from. You see in restaurants this beautiful, sexy theatre; it's very silky. When you're in a restaurant there's this great energy. But when you're working work on farms and you're out at four in the morning for lambing, or during the harvest or in the winter —I remember the freezing cold winter and having to feed the cows—it's an incredibly tough life. It's the same with chefs in the kitchen. When we're eating in a fancy restaurant on a Friday night, we don't think about the guys downstairs who have been there since six in the morning, in this very unsexy, hot environment, men and women working all the time to produce this thing of beauty.
Our cookbook The Fat Radish Kitchen Diaries features all the recipes and experiences that Ben and I have collected since we started. Every dish has a story about where it came from. The book is structured similarly to how we govern our lives: through the seasons. I love season changes. Today, that first nice day. This winter has been a brutal nightmare.
A favorite story from the cookbook comes from how we started the business. We had done a dinner down in the Financial District. It was the first ever dinner that we had done in New York as a company and it was seven courses, very over-the-top, and we did it out of our tiny apartment. It went well, but we made such a mess in the building. By the time we got back to the apartment and sorted everything out it was five or six in the morning, and we forgot that we had an event and catering show the next day. We woke up in the morning freaking out, wondering, 'what are we going to serve?' The only thing we had left in the refrigerator was this simple root vegetable stack, these pressed root vegetables. Do you think we can make a canapé out of this? It was unheard of; it was just some vegetables. We winged it, showed up an hour late, and everyone had their fancy booths and Ben and I just walked up and started serving this thing, and people went crazy over it. One woman who tried it was in charge of all events at the Time Warner Center. A week later Ben and I were presenting at the Time Warner Center in front of 48 event planners, talking about sustainable cooking and the farm-to-table movement. We'll never forget the moment: we had one suit between us, he was wearing the trousers and I was wearing the jacket. Whenever I look at that dish, I always laugh.

8 theatre and performing arts shows to watch in August
It looks like August has an exciting array of theatre picks! Here are eight theatre and arts performances this month not to be missed:
The Silly Little Girl And The Funny Old Tree & The River Of Life
Location: Pentas 2, KLPac
Date: Aug 8-11
It's graduation time for the participants of this year's Theatre For Young People. Under the direction of Mark Beau de Silva and Ho Lee Ching, the 13 ensemble members will be performing in this double bill, based on Kuo Pao Kun's classic tale. The Silly Little Girl And The Funny Old Tree, written in 1987, centres on a girl who is quite fond of an old tree in her schoolyard. To her horror, she discovers that the tree has to make way for a new development. A mission ensues to save the tree. The River Of Life, on the other hand, is inspired by another Kuo work that the ensemble performed in June and will see the young actors question, excavate and design a Kuala Lumpur that is their own. More details: www.klpac.org.
The Storyteller: Because You Are A Woman
Location : Now Theatre, Midfields Square West, Taman Sungei Besi, KL
Date: Aug 16-18
This one-woman show features Amelia Tan, who will be playing three different characters. Each exploring the idea of marriage. In some parts of the modern world, marriage is considered as the biggest life goal in a woman's life. Even with divorces and failed marriages, it is still important for mothers to teach their daughters about getting a good husband and being a good wife. This play explores the validity of this notion through an intergenerational story that looks at the older woman insisting on the younger one to get married despite her imperfect marriage. The play will be performed in Penang Hokkien with English and Mandarin surtitles. FB: The Storyteller: Because You Are A Woman.
Tales From The Scars
Location : Pentas 2, KLPac
Date : Aug 16-18
Penang-based writer/director Fa Abdul returns with another biting, new series of work in Tales From The Scars. The play, which features a series of 10 intimate monologues, made its debut at PenangPac last year. Very much like her Tales From Amma's Kitchen (2018), Fa keeps the stories honest, real and poignant as she explores the many things that leave us scarred and how these scars affect our being, for good or bad. Among other things, the play will seek to address the realities of parental abandonment, parental sacrifice and the unexplored constructs of racism, romance and reawakening. More details: www.klpac.org.
Light (Creative Development Showing)
Location: Indicine, KLPac
Date : Aug 23-29
Many of us would be familiar with the name Francis Light, thanks to our history lessons about Penang. But how many of us know about his son William, who laid out the city of Adelaide? In fact, how much of the Light family story do we actually know? Australian director/writer Thomas Henning collaborates with Malaysia's TerryandTheCuz in this story of two generations of adventurers and how the irreversible impact of their actions, continue to resonate today. One family, crushed between East and West, struggles for identity as history is slowly colonised. Light, which was recently performed at the George Town Festival, questions the way in which our collective past is remembered, and how it perpetuates systemic prejudice today. The show, in creative development stage, features Junji Delfino, Gavin Yap and Arief Hamizan. More details: www.klpac.org.
Music Of Words
Location : Blackbox, DPAC, Petaling Jaya
Date : Aug 23-25
WVC Malaysian Jazz Ensemble returns with a concert series that will feature a wide range of WVC's repertoire each night. On Aug 23, WVC will present its first ballad-based concert, featuring new compositions and old favourites. The next day, it will present original works composed by bandleader Tay Cher Siang, drawing inspiration from his avid connection with Haruki Murakami's works. Lastly, WVC will revisit its If Music Be The Food Of Love, Jazz On! show, which it performed in 2016 to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Shakespeare's death. For this the Bard-inspired show, veteran arts practitioner Lim Soon Heng (of Shakespeare Demystified fame) and London-based actor/singer Aaron Teoh are the guests. More details: www.dpac.com.my.
Location: Shantanand Auditorium, The Temple Of Fine Arts, KL
Date: Aug 24
Damaru Creations, in collaboration with Laasya Arts Academy Malaysia, will be presenting an evening of bharathanatyam performance in an effort to raise funds for the Malaysian Animal Welfare Association (MAWA). Choreographed by Guruvayur Usha Dorai, with music composed by Achyuthan Sashidaran Nair, Nrithyopasa will feature seven dancers from Laasya Arts Academy Malaysia.
Seni Tiga #07: As We Go Along
Location : KongsiKL, Gudang Yee Seng 2, Jalan Klang Lama, KL
Date : Aug 23-24
Seni Tiga is a multidisciplinary collaborative performance project presented by Kongsi Petak, a member of the KongsiKL community focusing on performing arts.
This month's edition features a performance series called As We Go Along, which is inspired by the Klang River that flows parallel to KL's Old Klang Road. The show features multimedia artists Ejin Sha and Max Jala collaborating with multi-talented musician Kent Lee (known for his work in Fast Food Generation and Flica) and contemporary dancer Pexstret Liu. FB: KongsiKL.
Matahari Jangan Tidure, Nanti Hilang Belang
Location : Blackbox, DPAC
Date : Aug 29- Sept 1
After exploring the idea of existentialism in Api, Jangan Lupa Api last year, young director Arief Hamizan returns with an exciting new work. It is part of theatre collective Theatresauce's New Projects series. A fully devised and experimental play Matahari gazes upon a family seeking normalcy in the aftermath of a cataclysmic event. In their newly distorted world of broken televisions and what could possibly be the final ray of sunlight, they struggle to piece together the fragmented ideas of nation, religion and morality that once existed. FB: Matahari Jangan Tidure, Nanti Hilang Belang.

Vegetable Mix - 120 capsules
10 types of pure vegetables - gently concentrated in 120 vegan capsules
Vegetables are an essential component of a healthy and balanced diet. They are rich in vitamins, minerals and secondary plant substances. They also contain high amounts of fibres and only little amounts of fat.
Vegetables, just like fruit, should be consumed several times a day.

The final report of the German National Food Consumption Survey includes the following information regarding this topic: Concerning the vegetable, mushroom and legume consumption (juice excluded), women consume only 129g/day and men 112g/day. If dishes based on vegetables such as salads from cooked and raw vegetables as well as vegetable dishes with sauce or gratinated dishes are included, the amounts almost double (women 243g/day; men 222g/day).
The DGE recommendations for the consumption of 400g vegetables daily are not achieved by 87.4% of the interviewed persons, 88.5% male and 86.3% female.
- proven combination of carrots, parsley, turnips, broccoli, kale, white cabbage, tomato extract, spinach, spirulina and garlic extract
