Elements reducing the steel propensity to corrosion or elements changing the more dangerous corrosion form to less dangerous (for example, the intergranular corrosion transition in uniform one) specially introduced in steel composition during alloying.
Chromium, nickel, aluminum and silicon separately or together in various proportions often introduce into steel. These elements presence in sufficient quantities makes the steel resistant in water, in humid atmosphere, in many acids and alkalis solutions and in dry gases atmosphere at high temperatures. Erosion resistance increases in steels with a high carbon content. Energosteel company uses such high-carbon steel, alloyed with chromium, manganese and silicon for the grinding balls fifth hardness group production (DSTU 3499-97 / DSTU 8538: 2015).
Energosteel Company uses steel, specially developed our specialists together with hot-rolled round products suppliers for production grinding balls the 3-rd and 4-th hardness groups (DSTU 3499-97 / DSTU 8538: 2015). These steels contain a certain number of alloying elements (silicon, chromium, manganese, vanadium, molybdenum, titanium), that change the metal mechanical properties in micro volumes simultaneously increasing the corrosion resistance.

The perfect reading spot is different for everyone. Take a look at these six libraries to learn more about how the people in these homes crafted their reading retreats.
15 Book Nooks and the Stories They Want You to Read
Ramsay Gourd Home, original photo on Houzz
1. Personalized fabric in a red reading room. A couple fell in love with a fabric pattern. The only problem: It had a safari theme, which didn't fit in their Vermont farmhouse. The couple asked Ramsay Gourd if he could make it more Vermont-y, and he did. He swapped out African animals and foliage for maple trees and farm animals. He then used the fabric to cover the sofa, two chairs, window seat cushions and window treatments.
To make this space into a library, Gourd added built-in shelves to display the couple's books, family portraits and artwork. The couple then filled the shelves themselves, ensuring each book had personal meaning.

2. A reading room with lake views. The homeowners turned to the original architect, Don Welch, when they sought to remodel and add on to their lakeside home. As part of the home transformation, they realized they could turn one of the original bedrooms into a library-office.
Welch used cherry and maple wood for the bookcases and incorporated a ladder made by the homeowner into the space. While housing the extensive book collection took a lot of space, Welch also wanted to create places for the homeowners to read, relax and take in their views.

3. A library fit for a snake. The designers at Laura U tackled five challenges during the creation of this luxurious library. The first was building a proper snake habitat for the homeowners' pet snake, Princess. The designers worked with Aquarium Design Group to install the proper snake equipment, such as heating lamps, ventilation and locks. Next, they worked on the other four challenges: creating privacy, integrating functional cabinets, making an elegant space and balancing colors.
The final design resulted in a library where the homeowners can curl up in their aubergine space with the latest issue of Snake Fancy magazine and rest easy knowing their snake has a comfortable, safe home.

4. A display of favorite objects. Interior designer Dona Rosene transformed an unused, catchall room into a peaceful library. She designed floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, which now house the homeowner's collections. On some shelves you'll find stacks of favorite books, and on others you'll find family heirlooms and collections, such as one of the homeowner's antique baskets.
In addition to the shelves, Rosene added two seating areas: one for lounging and the other for enjoying the views. The homeowners spend many mornings at the second spot, chatting and eating breakfast.
Hamilburg Interiors, original photo on Houzz
5. Blue hues in a multiuse parlor. Homeowner and designer Amy Mitchell of Home Glow Design teamed up with Dena Hamilburg of Hamilburg Interiors to turn her narrow parlor into a library and music room. They demolished the former built-in bookcase and installed new floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, complete with a window seat. This gave Mitchell the perfect place to display her antique books and heirlooms.
For the music room, they moved Mitchell's grand piano to the other end of the parlor to create a piano practice space. They painted all the woodwork and walls the same color to help unite the two separate spaces.
Small Space? Opt for a Love Seat
Crowell + Co. Interiors, original photo on Houzz
6. A colorful book collection. High ceilings and a massive bookshelf required a creative solution from Hannah Crowell of Crowell + Co. Interiors. She had started to buy nice art books but quickly realized that it would cost too much to fill all the shelves using that method. So she turned to Strand and purchased 500 feet of books. She bought an array of colors and then organized them all in an ombré pattern, which took about 14 hours.
The rest of the room has a Hollywood glamorous style, from the blue velvet chesterfield sofa to the noir dome chairs. The backdrop to the scene is Cornforth White paint from Farrow & Ball, which Crowell calls the "perfect light gray."

Wales Team vs. Ireland
Written by GTFM Newsdesk on 3rd February 2016
Wales' team to face reigning RBS 6 Nations champions Ireland in Dublin on Sunday includes starts for Rob Evans, Tom James and Justin Tipuric.
Tipuric starts the game at the Aviva Stadium at openside flanker with captain Sam Warburton at blindside and Taulupe Faletau at number eight, completing an all-British and Irish Lions back-row.
In the front-row Evans starts at loose-head and will earn his fourth cap in his third match against Ireland.
In the back-line James, who last played for Wales in the autumn of 2010, and made his debut back in 2007, will win his 10th cap on the wing. James will form a new look back-three alongside Gareth Anscombe and George North. Anscombe, who made his international debut against Ireland last August, will make his first RBS 6 Nations start as he lines up at full-back.
Jonathan Davies returns to the side from injury for the first time since last year's Six Nations and he is named alongside Jamie Roberts in midfield to reform Wales' most capped centre pairing.
Dan Biggar and Gareth Davies are the half-backs and they line-up together for the fifth consecutive match.
In the pack Evans is joined in the front-row by Ospreys hooker Scott Baldwin and Scarlets prop Samson Lee.
Luke Charteris and Alun Wyn Jones continue their partnership in the second row.
On the bench Ken Owens, Gethin Jenkins and Tomas Francis provide the front-row cover with Bradley Davies and Dan Lydiate rounding off the forward contingent. Davies will win his 50th cap if he takes to the field in Dublin. Lloyd Williams, Rhys Priestland and Alex Cuthbert provide the backline cover.

Is it over? If so, what's next?
The process of expanding into love, as we've been covering it for the past several weeks, does not always mean that the relationship continues.
Some couples will find, after one or both of them have awakened and gone through the renegotiating process, that compromise was not possible, or that . . .

After three games during LSU's quest for a national championship, the Tigers had already established themselves as a dominant offense. While Justin Jefferson was off to another red hot start, the glaring improvements in production weren't just from Ja'Marr Chase.
It was Terrace Marshall. While Chase and Jefferson would go on to break program and SEC records, it was actually Marshall that looked like he was on pace for an historic season. Through those three games, Marshall hauled in 16 receptions for 229 yards and six touchdowns.
For comparisons, Chase had 10 receptions for 168 yards and one touchdown while Jefferson added 19 receptions for 387 yards and four touchdowns. It was Marshall's redzone threat that made him a danger all season long. But the injury bug reared it's ugly head for the sophomore.
A fractured foot suffered in a win over Vanderbilt knocked Marshall out for four weeks. The injury wasn't the first or even a second for Marshall. As a senior in high school, a devastating leg injury forced him to miss the rest of his high school career and hindered his freshman campaign at LSU in 2018.
Marshall would return from the foot fracture in 2019 against Auburn and still put up some pretty fantastic numbers, finishing the season with 46 receptions for 671 yards and 13 touchdowns.
"He's a fighter," junior safety JaCoby Stevens said after the win over Auburn. "Anybody who had those injuries could have gave up and made excuses not to play or do the things he's doing now. He keeps fighting back and making plays."
"I was happy to see him out there getting his courage back, showing that he's ready again," Chase added.
As the stats show, Marshall made the most out of his return from injury. For those who with struggle with math, nearly one out of every four receptions Marshall brought in went for a touchdown.

An introduction to Key to Awareness
Key to Awareness is a process that enables you to become aware and more present. This process enables you to have a greater choice in your life, rather then acting out of habitual responses (which leave you thinking and feeling like you have no choice in your life).
Key to Awareness is divided into two parts. The first part is becoming more aware of your thought, emotion, thought patterns and emotional patterns and how this effects your actions.
The second part is about processing the energy in your body that is caused by your thought and emotion and thus releasing it.
Key to Awareness is not just a mental or an emotional process, it includes being present in your body where you can be in total awareness.
What is different about Key to Awareness is that you become aware that each thought has an accompanying emotion and vice-a-versa. Practising Key to Awareness enables you to consciously choose each action and with practise you become so aware your actions flow through you, effortlessly.
What I mean by awareness is that I am allowing myself to be aware of what is happening inside of me, in my body and mind, and what is happening around me and I am accepting and acknowledging it. I am being nonjudgmental and allowing love and life to flow through me. This is very similar to what is called "mindfulness".
Learning Key to Awareness
You can learn Key to Awareness and gain support in one to one sessions with myself, or in groups (see courses for more information) or by yourself through reading the manual (see below).
Key to Awareness can help with:
…and many more…
Origins of Key to Awareness
Key to Awareness is a process that I have developed myself from 10 years of working with thousands of clients, obtaining a degree in Psychology, working in a psychiatric unit for young people, and studying and following many different spiritual paths.
I know this works
I use this process everyday to keep me aware and my energy flowing freely and clearly. I have helped many people become more aware by sharing this process with them.
Open your life to endless possibilities with Key to Awareness
"Thank you so much for your Intuition Day. Brilliant! …I learned some valuable stuff about myself, especially how I use my energy and the effect it can have on others!
My sense of wellbeing has increased and some old areas of tension have definitely begun to ease… Very interesting!"
Jenni Jepson, Bungay, UK
"Thank you for the mini workshop, on intuition, you provided for my Development Group.
I was particularly impressed by your technique for grounding people… it is believable because you can actually feel it working – unlike some visualisation techniques."
Margaret Pett, Reiki Master / Teacher, Dunstable, UK.
The Intuition workshop is part of the Key to Awareness Course; it can be taken on its own or as part of the Key to Awareness Course (see courses).

You've likely heard them at yoga–you know that crisp gong sound that a teacher will start or end the class with? That's made by a singing bowl, and it's a small but mighty healing tool that's been used in alternative healing practices for thousands of years. These instruments look like normal metal bowls, but when struck or made to 'sing' with a mallet, they'll give off a sound and frequency that can invoke a deep meditative and peaceful state, and balance out the chakras.
Hence, why sound baths – or, gatherings where people bask in the sound and vibration of singing bowls being played, are majorly trending in wellness right now. You can take the power into your own hands, of course, and if you're looking for a supplement to ground you into your meditation practice or post-work or morning ritual, get you a singing bowl! We talked to Shanti Bowl Founder / Owner Jessica for the inside scoop on what to look for when you shop for a singing bowl.
Edit Seven: How did you discover / fall in love with singing bowls?
Shanti Bowl: My mother in law had one at her place, my boyfriend and I were visiting and we were just sort of playing it, and as you know, if you're into singing bowls, it can take a few tries to be able to play the bowl and we just had fun playing with it all weekend and trying to get it to play and the satisfaction of getting it to sing when you've never done it before is fun, and we just fell in love with it.
Then Ben wanted to get one, which led us to this business. We were looking online and we couldn't find anything where we live in Vancouver, so we had trouble finding something that was high-quality, an affordable price, wasn't shipping from somewhere that was going to make for a lot of shipping fees. So, because we couldn't find that online existing already, we just decided to create it ourselves.
E7: What do the different sizes / materials of singing bowls have to do with their effect? And what should one look for when shopping for a singing bowl?
SB: It depends on the person and what they're looking for in a singing bowl, but if they're a beginner, there are a couple things to consider; the first being size. We recommend getting a medium size singing bowl, one you can hold in your hand, or take with you somewhere if you want, or display around you house, and a medium size bowl also produces a nice note. Ones that are larger or smaller would produce notes that are different.
If it's larger, it won't be very portable. That's something to consider if you're adding to your collection. But the bowls on our site are medium size, 5.5 inches in diameter, and that's just a nice neutral size to start with.
For the material, we're big proponents of the bowls being handmade. There certainly are machine-made bowls out on the market, not to say that that's bad, but I think the handmade quality of a bowl is nice and you sort of see that in the craftsmanship and it produces a different note and vibration, especially when you're using it in your hand. The ones that are made by machines, those can sound a little more pitchy, they're not as warm of a note as handmade. That's my preference. I think handmade bowls are a nicer sound and aesthetic, and its nice to know you have something in your home that's handmade, traditionally.
Traditionally, the bowls are made out of a combination of metals, a 5-metal alloy – copper, zinc, iron, and traces of gold and silver. That's the traditional material that was used for making singing bowls and they're still doing that today which is considered the best material for it – this is how singing bowls have been used for hundreds of thousands of years. It's kind of cool to know you're using the same materials that were used traditionally.
E7: How do you suggest people use a singing bowl on their own?
SB: How I use the bowl and how I recommend using the bowl is, I often just sit on a yoga mat or a carpet or even my couch, and put the bowl in my hand and you can strike the side of the bowl and that produces a nice sound which you'll feel it in your hand I find that really soothing and it helps me to relax. The sound and the vibration of the bowl and the combination of that definitely does have an effect on your mental state and it does help to calm and relax you.
So striking the side of the bowl is one way to do it, if you've never played before that's how you can start. But you can also circle the bowl with a mallet, which produces what we call singing, which – as long as you keep circling it with a mallet, it produces a sing song effect. And again that produces vibrations that when you're using it in your hand, you can feel going up your arm.
I mean, I do that sometimes just if I'm sitting with my boyfriend and we're talking we just do that and it's fun, or, you could say, OK this is going to be my meditation practice for the next 5, 10, 15 minutes where I'm just playing the bowl. Just hearing that sound and being in a quiet, mindful state could be a meditation practice in and of itself.
E7: Do you have a daily ritual you like to do with the bowls?
SB: For me, it depends on the day, but I try to use the singing bowl for 5 minutes before I go to bed. I do use it throughout the day if I'm feeling anxious or a little stressed out about something. I find that the sound and the vibration do really speak to me, so if I've had a stressful day I might use it to take a 5 minute break and play the bowl, it's also a fun thing to do as well, just in-between emails for example.
And if I do yoga, I mostly go to yoga classes and my teachers will use singing bowls as a prompt to start and finish the meditation and I really like that. I don't practice on my own, but that's a nice idea as well – start your yoga practice by striking the owl and end it or your meditation sequence use the bowl as a cue for that as well. That's a soothing way to start and end a class.

After a missed filing deadline made it seem certain that Costa Mesa's proposed charter would not go to voters before November, city officials announced late Monday plans to pay $154,000 to conduct a separate election on the day of the June primary.
At a special meeting scheduled for Tuesday evening, the Costa Mesa City Council will vote on whether to hire Anaheim-based Martin & Chapman Co. to administer the charter election. In addition to the consulting firm's fee, taxpayers would also pay an unspecified amount to the Orange County registrar of voters if the council approves the proposal.
Approval is all but assured, given the clear preference by the four-member council majority to place the charter proposal before voters as soon as possible. The charter push is the latest incarnation of the ideologically driven council's effort to outsource a majority of city services.
City leaders say they need to move forward in June rather than November so the city can save money on road improvements scheduled for summer. The savings, they say, would come because the charter would allow the city to pay workers less than state-mandated prevailing wages.
One high-profile opponent of the council majority called this latest maneuver "a colossal waste of taxpayer dollars."
"It's going to confuse the voters, and it's wrong," said Katrina Foley, a school district trustee and former councilwoman.
If the parallel vote is approved, Costa Mesa voters will have to sign in twice when they go to the polls on election day — once for the regular ballot and again to vote on the charter.
"They're trying to circumvent the court's ruling, the rule of law," Foley said, referring to the recent court decisions on the June election. "Apparently we're only a rule-of-law city when the rule of law suits a particular City Council's political ideology."
City spokesman Bill Lobdell declined to respond to Foley's rule-of-law accusations.
This new effort comes after two courts denied the city's request to put the charter proposal on June's ballot despite missing the filing deadline.
City Clerk Julie Folcik was placed on administrative leave while the city investigates the circumstances surrounding the missed deadline. Community members have said that Folcik is being made a scapegoat for the mishap.
Registrar of Voters Neal Kelley said this might be the first privately administered parallel election in Orange County, although it has happened in Los Angeles County and other parts of the state.
Voters would go to the same polling places to vote on the charter and the regular ballot, but Martin & Chapman would provide ballot counting machines for the charter vote and employees to operate them.
A charter is essentially a local constitution that gives a city government greater authority over some local affairs. Under a new state law passed after the city of Bell salary scandal, charter votes must be scheduled for June primary and November general elections.
The city announced Tuesday's election proposal at about 4:50 p.m. Monday, about 10 minutes before City Hall closed for the day and about 40 minutes before the deadline to notify the public.
Lobdell said the last-minute announcement occurred because the city didn't know whether the staff report on the issue would be ready.
Asked whether the city could have held the meeting on Wednesday or Thursday to allow residents more time for planning and research, Lobdell acknowledged that possibility, but he said it wouldn't have mattered in the end.
"There's no one that follows this who would not know what's going on," he said.
Tuesday's meeting will be held at 5:30 p.m. at Costa Mesa City Hall, 77 Fair Dr.

Announcement of National Faith HIV & AIDS Awareness Day
As U.S. religious leaders, faith-based and other organizations acting in the HIV/AIDS response, we join in support and observance of the first National Faith HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (NFHAAD) on August 27, 2017. We, individuals from the Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Jew, Hindu, Baha'i and Buddhist faiths, seek to engage faith communities to work together for HIV/AIDS education, prevention, treatment, care and support, and to reduce and eliminate stigma and discrimination. Our mission is supported by events across the country and by numerous social media platforms.
While many faith traditions may include laws and teachings forbidding traditionally stigmatized behaviors, such as extramarital sex and substance use that can put people at risk for acquiring HIV, most faiths also emphasize forgiveness, mercy, and grace in reconciling human frailty with religious and spiritual teachings.
We must accept, support, and care for our faith community members regardless of their histories and their current struggles. Many faith communities have been and are at the forefront of the response to HIV/AIDS in a variety of ways. They are a vital part of providing HIV/AIDS services, especially in hard-to-reach areas, and at times when government and other community-based organizations were slow to act in the early days of the epidemic.
Along with NFHAAD efforts in Washington, DC, Ambassadors have been selected to lead events across the nation in cities that have high incidence and prevalence rates of HIV and AIDS. The targeted cities are New York City, NY; Washington, DC; Baltimore, MD; Los Angeles, CA; New Orleans, LA; Houston, TX; Atlanta, GA; Miami, FL; Baton Rouge, LA; Memphis, TN; Charlotte, NC; Columbia, SC; Jackson, MS; Philadelphia, PA; Detroit, MI; Cleveland, OH and Chicago IL. Advised by a steering committee comprised of leaders from across the nation, the Ambassadors will engage religious leaders of their cities, and rally the local community to make the day a success.
The main event in Washington, DC will begin with an interfaith prayer at The White House, followed by a Prayer Walk to Freedom Plaza where we will conclude with a rally. We chose the White House as our starting point for NFHAAD to show unity in the face of this Administration's troubling anti-HIV policies. As people of faith, one of our core tenants is to care for the sick and provide ways to foster good health and strengthen well-being.
This obligation is more important now than ever as 40% of people living with HIV rely on Medicaid for their treatment and care. The persistent attempts by this Administration to repeal the Affordable Care Act coupled with the proposed budget cuts to Medicaid and welfare programs for the poor will significantly impact people living with HIV, stripping away their healthcare and vital social services necessary to maintain good health. These acts would reverse the progress that has been made towards getting to zero; therefore it is incumbent upon people of faith to provide support for our community members in need during this tumultuous time of uncertainty, beginning with prayer at the White House.
During the rally at Freedom Plaza there will be remarks from prominent faith leaders, networking, free HIV Testing and more. The evening before, a high level reception will take place at the Human Rights Campaign.
You are invited to join us as we rally faith communities to work towards creating safe spaces for all individuals living with HIV without judgement and stigma.
United We Are Stronger. Together We Are Powerful. One Day. Each Year. Until We Find A Cure.

Near Foligno, Gnocchi Take the Stage
Unusual July rainy weather did not keep us away from the gnocchi sagra (a village food festival) in San Giovanni Profiamma near Foligno.
I'd never seen the interior of the 12th-c. Romanesque church there and was hoping it would be open for an evening Mass that late July Sunday. Pause in the rain when we arrived there…but the church was closed.
Across the road, cars were starting to pull into the parking near the sports field, site of the sagra. People headed to the food tents, holding umbrellas.
The tables outside (usually full) were empty and wet….
…..but inside, hungry villagers – and not only! – feasted at some of the long plank tables:
We joined the short line where food orders were taken quickly (rain on a sagra night is good fortune!). The menu enticed:
As this sagra starred gnocchi, I ordered the tris di gnocchi or homemade potato dumplings served with three different sauces: one with goose meat, one with fava beans and one with Montefalco's famous red wine, Sagrantino:
That gnocchi goodness was served up by a young volunteer, Giulia:
Those buonissimi gnocchi were the same choice of another couple at our table, Alessandra and Menolo. Pino ordered one of his favorites dishes, pork shank with roasted potatoes:
While we had waited for our orders, I'd wandered to cooking area of the tent asking if I could possibly take some photographs in the kitchen. All the volunteer cooks were delighted to be in a photo…..
– and many urged me not to miss Nunziata, "la regina dell'oca" ("the queen of the goose")
As she sliced up the roast geese for one of the second courses, Nunziata chatted happily about her many years volunteering at this ten-day sagra which has been animating S. Giovanni Profiamma every July for twenty-six years.
At an adjacent table, bruschette toppings were in the making, including one I'd never tried: con cipolle (with onions).
Diced white onions are simmered in olive oil with bay leaf
….and then spooned onto toasted bread:
Nearby, Nadia was rolling out that Umbrian flat bread, la torta, which would be filled with grilled sausages as an antipasto.
Luigi helped in grilling the sausages over the fires behind the kitchen and then he split them for the torta slices:
I met the full "grilling squad" outside the kitchen area:
All the team was most welcoming, offering me tastes of the skewered lamb tidbits, arrosticini. Signor Franceso even insisted I take a couple to Pino out in the dining area:
When it started to drizzle, plastic bags covered heads and the grilling never stopped:
Another creative "grilling headress" which caught my eye was paper towel under a red baseball cap: to absorb the sweat on long hot nights over the grill…..
….and what an array of tasty Umbria specialties on that grill….
….and near the sizzling meats, bread was being toasted for the various bruschette:
Mille grazie to all of you who volunteered to cook up or serve up Umbrian goodness for ten nights (most of them, hot, hot ones!): Francesco, Massimiliano and Tommaso on the grilling squad….
……Anna-Rita picking up orders in the kitchen to serve at the tables……
……and young Yuri on the grilling squad
….and Agnese serving at table..
….. and Rebecca (age 10), too, who told me she that no, she certainly was not the youngest one of all: "There's a girl here working whose only eight – two years younger than me!"
….and each of you – no matter the age – worked with such passione to make this a sagra to remember.

So nice! I love Gnocchi!! This certainly looks like an amazing get together full of fun, friends and food! Yum! I also noticed Crescia on the menu! My grandmother used to make this Easter Bread when I was a kid. LOVE IT!
After seeing your pictures, I am so hungry.
Going to a sagra = one of my fav things to do in Italy!!! And if It's with you (and gnocchi, let's admit It), It's even better 😀
Wow Annie, This sagra looks like a total blast! Italians are so good at food and at sharing it all with one another. Those tortas? on that beautiful little girl's plate with grilled sausage look like cheese crisps (the food of choice of young kids in the southwest). Are those made with the pasta you showed being rolled out? I'd love a recipe!
We loved our time with you and Pino. This is a great way to prolong our too short but savory experience!
Mary…had tossed this…but yes, a winner of a sagra!

PositiveTip for
Supplements to Prevent Fractures?
Posted by Fred Hardinge on
Supplementation with calcium and/or vitamin D did not reduce fracture risk in older adults.
Contrary to current opinion, a systematic review of 33 randomized trials in about 50,000 community-living adults over 50 years old found no benefit for supplementation of vitamin D and/or calcium. This study strongly supports the U.S. Preventive Services Taskforce in not recommending calcium or vitamin D supplementation in this population.
PositiveTip: Get your vitamin D from adequate sun exposure, exercise daily, and include plenty of calcium rich foods in your diet.
PositiveTip for
CVD Risk and Calcium Intake
Posted by Fred Hardinge on
Dietary and supplemental calcium intake below 2500 mg daily OK.
Inconsistent evidence has suggested there might be an association between calcium supplementation and increased risk for cardiovascular disease. A multi-center, meta-analysis of 4 randomized trials and 27 observational studies has found moderate-quality evidence suggesting that calcium intake (with or without Vitamin D) from food or supplements does not raise the risk of CVD in healthy adults.
PositiveTip: Dietary sources of calcium are preferred over supplemental calcium, and every person needs an adequate intake. Are you getting enough?
PositiveTip for
Calcium Underfire
Posted by Fred Hardinge on
Researchers puzzled by recommendations for universal calcium supplementation.
Increased calcium intake from either supplements or dietary sources may not be as effective in supporting bone mineral density (BMD) or reducing fracture risk as once thought. Researchers found increased calcium intake resulted in only small increases in BMD in 14,000 people over 50, but the changes were so small they would not be clinically significant. Another study revealed increased calcium intake in over 45,000 individuals did not reduce fracture risk.
PositiveTip: Eating a wholesome, natural diet combined with physical activity may be the best way to support bone health and prevent fractures.
PositiveTip for
High Supplemental Calcium Dangerous?
Posted by Fred Hardinge on
Ca supplements increased risk of CVD in men.
Many older adults take calcium supplements to improve bone health. The AARP Diet and Health Study with 390,000 older adults assessed calcium supplements, calcium-containing antacids and multivitamins at baseline. About 50% of men and 70% of women supplemented calcium, and the average dietary intake of calcium for both was 700 mg. During 12 years of follow-up men who supplemented at least 1000 mg of calcium daily experienced 20% higher risk for cardiovascular disease than those who did not supplement. This increase was not found in women.
PositiveTip: Men and women should eat a healthful diet of calcium-containing vegetables, legumes and low-fat dairy products( if they choose) rather than supplements.
PositiveTip for
Calcium Supplement Caution
Posted by Fred Hardinge on
Use of calcium supplements may increase risk of heart attack.
German researchers have found that calcium supplements are associated with almost double the risk for a heart attack, compared to those who did not supplement. Nearly 24,000 residents aged 35 to 64 were followed for 11 years. Those who took calcium supplements had a 1.88 increase in risk for heart attack. Calcium from dietary sources did not increase risk.
PositiveTip: Calcium supplements should only be taken with caution. It is best to get this nutrient from a balanced diet.
PositiveTip for
High Calcium Intake May Actually Increase Risk of Hip Fractures
Posted by Galen Bosley on
High Calcium Intake May Actually Increase Risk of Hip Fractures
A newly published Swedish study of over 61,000 women who were followed for more than 19 years provides the strongest evidence to date that high calcium intake is not beneficial for preventing bone fractures. The exceptions are women with very low amounts of calcium and vitamin D in their diet. Women in the top 25 percent of calcium intake showed no reduced risk of fractures or osteoporosis. Instead, they actually showed a 19 percent increase in hip fractures. The lowest fracture risk was found in women with total calcium intake of about 800 mg per day.
Cardiac Risks from Calcium Supplements
Posted by Elvin Adams on
Millions of women take calcium supplements. The U.S Government recommends 1200 mg intake of calcium per day for men and women over the age of 50.
Recent research, just published in the British Medical Journal, show that calcium supplements actually have no beneficial effect on bone density and are actually harmful because they increase the risk of heart attacks.
Scientists at the University of Auckland in New Zealand analyzed 11 calcium supplement studies (without Vitamin D), with more than 12,000 participants. The risk of heart attacks among those taking supplements was 31% higher than those not taking them.

The Ultimate DND 5e Fighter Class Guide for Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition
What class should I play in Dungeons and Dragons? What's a great class for a beginner in Dungeons and Dragons 5e? What's the best build for fighters in 5e? Read below for the best guide on the fighter class in DND5E.
"Scars" used under license by Armiche Lora Sánchez. Check out their work here
If you've chosen to play a fighter in D&D 5E, you may wonder what skills, feats, and class features you can use to help your party the most. That's what we'll cover in this guide.
Fighters are one of the oldest Dungeons and Dragons classes. They were present even in "Men and Magic," the very first version of the rules. They are the best at fighting with weapons and armor.
Fighters are not great at sneaking around, casting spells, or healing. But when it comes to beating down their opponents in melee combat, they excel like no other class.
This guide will explain what we've found to be the most powerful options when creating and playing a fighter.
Fighter builds
A fighter's primary goal is to be good at damaging their enemies with weapons. Most fighters use a two-handed melee weapon or a one-handed weapon with a shield. Either way, most of these weapons use Strength for attack rolls. For a traditional fighter build, put your highest ability roll into strength.
Another option is to create a fighter that uses ranged or finesse weapons, such as crossbows, rapiers, scimitars, or shortswords. These weapons are lighter, and do not require high strength to use effectively. Because of this, they use Dex instead of Str for attack rolls. If you plan on playing this type of fighter, put your highest roll into Dex instead of Str.
Constitution is important for any D&D character. The higher your constitution, the more hit points you will gain as you level. This will improve your ability to survive long fights. Put your second-highest roll into Con.
Wisdom is another important ability score for all D&D characters. If you have low Wis, you may often fall victim to magic spells and other types of mental manipulation that your foes may try to dominate you with. And Wisdom is important for succeeding at perception rolls, which happens often in D&D. Put your third-highest roll into Wis.
If you chose a traditional high-Str fighter build, dump your bad rolls into Dex, Cha, and Int. If you chose a finesse or ranged weapon fighter build, dump your bad rolls into Str, Cha, and Int.
Best races for a fighter
You can play a fighter as any race. But some races are ideally suited for a life of combat. Here is a list of the best races for a fighter.
Dwarf - All dwarves get + 2 Con. This is great for a fighter, but Mountain Dwarf is especially good for the class with +2 Con and +2 Str. Dwarven Resilience also provides resistance to poison, which is useful for any class
Dragonborn - Dragonborns get + 2 Str. In addition, they have a Breath Weapon attack that damages all enemies within an area of effect. Since fighters often struggle when combatting multiple enemies, this ability shores up a weakness and helps to make the fighter stronger
Half-orc - All half-orcs get +2 Str and +1 Con, which makes them perfectly suited to be fighters. They also get Relentless Endurance and Savage Attacks. These abilities increase half-orcs' survivability and crit damage
Elf - If you are playing a ranged or finesse weapon fighter, Elf is a great choice. Elves get + 2 Dex. Wood Elves are an especially nice pick, since they have a speed bonus from Fleet of Foot and are better at hiding thanks to Mask of The Wild
Martial archetypes
When you reach level 3, you'll be able to choose a martial archetype. Here are some tips on how to decide which archetype to pick. We'll also discuss the best features of each archetype.
This archetype is best for players who don't want to make a lot of complicated combat decisions each round. Improved Critical will let you critical hit on 19 or 20 instead of just 20.
At level 7, Remarkable Athlete lets you add your proficiency bonus to any Str, Con, or Dex check, including initiative rolls. This can help you win initiative in many cases that you otherwise wouldn't. It's also useful for many other Str, Con, and Dex checks.
If you choose Champion as your archetype, just swing your weapon each round to do as much damage as possible. It's that simple.
Battle Master
This archetype gives you access to Battle Maneuvers, which opens up more complexity during combat. If you choose this archetype, Combat Superiority will give you three Maneuvers and four Superiority Dice at level 3. You can expend a superiority die to use any of your maneuvers.
Use Trip Attack to add 1d8 to your attack roll and knock your foe prone if they fails their saving throw. Use Riposte to make a reaction attack against a creature that misses its attack against you, and add 1d8 damage to your attack.
Make a Menacing Attack to do 1d8 extra damage and make your opponent afraid of you if he fails their saving throw.
Eldritch Knight
This is a hybrid fighter/mage specialization. At level 3, spellcasting allows you to learn 2 cantrips from the Wizard spell list and gives you 2 1st-level spell slots.
Use Shield to gain +5 AC and Acid Splash to damage more than one enemy at a time.
Thunderwave is also a powerful spell for Eldritch Knight fighters. It does 2d8 thunder damage in a 15 ft. cube surrounding you for each victim that fails its saving throw and half damage to each victim that makes the save. It also pushes each victim 10 ft. away if it fails its roll.
Eldritch Knight is a great choice if you want to play a fighter, but want some spellcasting abilities as well.
Best class features for a fighter
As a fighter, you will have access to many features unique to your class. But out of these features, only a few will be so good that you will find yourself using them time and again. Here are some of the best fighter class features.
Fighting Style
At level 1, you can choose a fighting style to specialize in. If you want to use ranged weapons, choose Archery to get + 2 bonus on attack rolls. If you want to use a sword and shield, choose Dueling to get + 2 bonus to damage rolls.
For fighting with two-handed weapons, choose Great Weapon Fighting to let you reroll 1s and 2s on damage - as long as you are willing to keep the second roll.
These are the most powerful fighting styles.
Action Surge
At level 2, this gives you one extra action per short rest. It is extremely useful for finishing off a wounded enemy.
Extra attack
The name says it all. As a fighter, your damage comes from your weapon. The more attacks you get, the more damage you do. You get this feature at level 5, and it scales further at levels 11 and 20.
As you gain levels, increasing your primary ability through Ability Score Improvement will usually make you a better fighter than taking feats will. But if your primary stat is already at 20, here are the best feats for a fighter.
Shield Master
If you use a sword and shield, this will give you a variety of benefits. You can knock a foe back with your shield or use your shield's AC to help with Dex saving throws. If an effect would make you take half damage on a Dex save, you can use your shield to protect yourself on a successful save, reducing the damage to zero instead of half.
If you use ranged weapons, take this feat to prevent attacks at long range from imposing disadvantage, ignore half cover and three-quarters cover, and allow you to take a -5 attack roll penalty in exchange for a +10 to your damage roll. These are all great benefits for ranged weapons users
Lets you increase an ability score by 1 and gain proficiency in saving throws using the chosen ability. Many fighters have low Wisdom, making it easy for them to be dominated by magic and psychological manipulation. Use this feat to increase your Wisdom and help you make more saving throws in these situations
Great Weapon Master
If you use two-handed weapons, choose this feat to give you a bonus action anytime you get a critical hit or kill an opponent. You can also use this to take a -5 attack roll penalty in exchange for + 10 to your damage roll
Crossbow Expert
Another great feat for ranged weapons fighters, although it can only be used specifically with a crossbow. As long as you have a loaded hand crossbow, this lets you make a bonus attack with it anytime you make an attack with a one-handed weapon.
This alone makes it worth taking. But it also lets you ignore the loading quality of crossbows you are proficient with and prevents disadvantage from being imposed if a creature is within five feet of you, making it an even greater choice.
Best fighter skills
Fighters will mostly rely on their class features and feats to accomplish things in the game. However, there are a few skills that can be useful for fighters.
- Athletics can help you shove or grapple your opponent, as well as avoid having these things done to you
- Perception can help you find clues and avoid dangerous situations - it is a basic skill that is useful for any class
- If your Charisma isn't awful, take Intimidation to help get information out of NPCs.
**Xanathar's Class Updates**
Arcane Archer (Xanathar's Guide to Everything)
This is an old favorite of mine that they've made beautifully simple and easy to play in 5e. Just firing arrows can get boring in combat, why not shoot arrows around corners or ones that explode with magical power? Pick this up if you want to play an archer with a few tricks up their sleeve.
Cavalier (Xanathar's Guide to Everything)
A lot of people pass this up because they can't count on having a mount all the time, thankfully 5e cavaliers are just damn good sword and board fighters regardless. Cavaliers force duels, gain bonuses for wielding sword and shield, and yes, are also good at charging people down on a mount. Grab this if you want your fighter to shout, "I challenge you to a duel" at every combat.
Samurai (Xanathar's Guide to Everything)
The core of this archetype is the "fighting spirit" which just lets you choose to gain advantage on your next swing and temporary hit points 3 times a day. You're also a friggin samurai! You get a bonus skill and some rather useful diplomatic abilities, but that fighting spirit and the inherent cool factor is the main reason to pick this one up, it's so good!
These are the best ways to maximize the power of a fighter in D&D 5E.
Fighters are often perceived as a "boring" class. They usually can't cast spells or heal, and they don't have cool rogue abilities like Supreme Sneak and Assassinate.
But as this guide has shown, they do have many options that can be used to flesh them out. You can play a Battle Master crossbow expert, an Elkdritch Knight who combines sword-and-shield fighting with AoE spells, a heavy-weapons fighter who uses Trip Attack to stun their opponents, and many other unique builds.
Regardless of which options you choose, we hope this guide to fighter-maximization has helped you. Comment below if you have any questions - or if you have other ideas for powerful fighter builds.

Giant Trap has been placed to collect the littered plastic from the Pacific Ocean
Multimillion dollars floating trap has been deployed into the Pacific Ocean to gathered up the littered plastic heaps from ocean's water. This large boom trap was deployed on Saturday from San Francisco bay.
This 20 million dollars worth structure which is nearly 2000 feet long was made in collaboration by the funding from Ocean Cleanup which is a nonprofit organization. The company's goal is to rid the ocean's water from 150,000 pounds of plastic in its first year of being deployed. The company has plans to clean up at least half of Ocean's garbage patches by deploying more than dozens of other booms like this.
The Great Pacific Garbage Patch consists of huge garbage floating in between California and Hawaii that contains at least 1.8 trillion pieces of scattered garbage out of which 87000 tons is only plastic.
24 years old Boyan Slat; the founder of Ocean cleanup and the inventor behind this amazing new garbage cleaning invention told media about the boom. He said that boom is to be deployed only for testing this month, if everything goes according to plan it will be deployed 1400 miles offshore near the garbage patch.
The boom's cleanup system works in this manner. After being detached from towing vessels it will swim to form a U shape. After that current of waves and winds will propel it to move forward and trap in the plastic like a Pac Man. This captured plastic will be then sent to land for proper sorting and recycling.
The impenetrable skirt of the boom is only 10 feet long which will allow the marine life to swim under pass it slowly.
Mr. Slat has also shown worry whether it is possible to clean half of the garbage in the coming five years or not. However, Mr. Slat is very optimistic about this new system even if they have not conducted enough testing on it.

Auditing and Remediation
Once the Policy and Standards were in place the next step was to identify the auditing process, prioritize the websites, perform the audits, and develop a remediation plan for each.
A two prong approach is necessary to find accessibility violations:
1. Automated tools – which will catch about half of the violations and,
2. Manual testing – which is necessary to catch violations such as:
a. Inconsistent navigation.
b. Illogical tab order.
c. Site not working for screen readers.
d. Keyboard traps.
e. Links not making sense out of context.
f. That dynamic screen context works with accessibility tools.
Automated Tools
We chose to use the aXe DevTools extension on FireFox. It's free yet gives highly detailed analysis of violations and how to remedy them.
To mimic screen reader output we chose to use the Fangs Screen Reader Emulator extension on FireFox. This free tool displays the written output as one of the most popular screen readers on Windows would read it – the Jaws Screen Reader. Written output is easier to show to developers to help them understand issues than having them listen to a screen reader, which they may not be able to understand. (Note that the Fang extension appears to no longer be supported.)

There are many initiatives which facilitate the integration of foreigners into their local community and which are designed to promote understanding, communication and community spirit. These schemes are often created and run by community minded individuals, whose only aim is to create a more tolerant environment based on understanding and friendship.
The aim of this part of the Community section is to enable those who are running or trying to create such schemes to publicise their activities and encourage others in the area to become involved. None of the schemes included here are run by afpop, although afpop Members are involved in many of them. The schemes are listed in Câmara areas only for ease of reference only and this does not mean that they are run or funded by any Câmara.

Output Factory Server for InDesign Adds Page Size To Output File Names
Zevrix Solutions has announced the release of Output Factory Server 2.0.18, a feature update to company's output automation tool for Adobe InDesign. Output Factory Server automates InDesign production workflow by processing files from watched hot folders. The software offloads printing and exporting from InDesign to a central system leaving operator workstations free from the output process.
The new version lets users add InDesign page dimensions to the variable names of exported output files. The update adds three new tokens: page width, page height, and measurement units, which gives users the complete flexibility in choosing the desired page size format for the output file name. In addition, the new version improves the reliability of AppleScript and JavaScript scripts integration in printing workflows.
"Output Factory Server is an extremely useful utility for a busy production facility or advertising agency", writes David Creamer in Layers magazine. "The setup process is simple and users experience is very straightforward. It can save lots of time – which equates to money."
Output Factory Server is intended to run on a dedicated machine and serve unlimited users on a network via watched hot folders. Users can create hot folders for different output targets such as hi-res PDF, large format printing, Flash files and so on. The app offers the following key features:
* Output InDesign files automatically from hot folders
* Supports print, PDF, PostScript, TIFF, EPUB and other formats
* Output to multiple formats from a single hot folder
* Automatic email notifications on errors and other events
* Layer versioning
* Run custom scripts
* Variable output file names
* Automatic preflighting
Pricing and Availability:
Output Factory Server 2.0.18 can be purchased from Zevrix web site for $699.95 (USD), as well as from authorized resellers. Trial is also available for download. The upgrade to version 2 is $350 for the licensed users of Output Factory Server 1.x and BatchOutput Server. Output Factory Server requires macOS 10.7-10.13 and Adobe InDesign CS5-CC 2018.

NZ dollar rides higher on Powell's dovish testimony
By Rebecca Howard
July 11 (BusinessDesk) - The New Zealand dollar continued to tick higher after dovish comments by US Federal Reserve chair Jerome Powell increased the prospects of deeper rate cuts there at the end of the month.
The kiwi was trading at 66.67 US cents at 5pm in Wellington from 66.41 cents at 8am. The trade-weighted index was at 72.85 from 72.71.
Powell emphasized trade tensions and concerns over the strength of the global economy in his half-yearly testimony before the US House Financial Services Committee. He also said low inflation may prove even more persistent than currently expected.
Markets immediately moved to price-in a 30 percent chance of a 50 basis-point rate cut at the end of July. A 25-basis point cut remains fully priced.
Imre Speizer, market strategist at Westpac, said the kiwi took an "abrupt jump higher" when Powell began talking and then nudged higher when Asian markets began trading.
Powell is also due to present testimony to the Senate Banking Committee overnight. The prepared remarks will be the same but there is also a question and answer session.
Speizer said that gives Powell another opportunity to reiterate the message or to walk it back should he choose to do so, although that would be unusual.
Investors will also be keeping a close eye on US consumer price index data for June, due tonight. Economists surveyed by the Wall Street Journal expect the CPI to be flat in June from May and up 1.6 percent from a year earlier, underscoring the Fed's concerns about weak inflation pressures.
The next major event for the kiwi dollar will be domestic inflation data, due next Tuesday. ASB Bank is forecasting that annual inflation will be 1.7 percent in the second quarter but notes that "risks to our pick are tilted to the downside."
The kiwi traded at 95.54 Australian cents from 95.42 cents this morning. It was at 53.18 British pence from 53.09, at 59.12 euro cents from 59.00, at 71.95 yen from 72.00, and at 4.5763 Chinese yuan from 4.5613.
The New Zealand two-year swap rate was at 1.3123 percent from 1.3242 late yesterday, while the 10-year swap rate was at 1.7450 percent from 1.7400 percent.
