Is 15v the absolute maximum Voltage? Can't seem to find absolute max in the datasheet.
Product SEN-10724 about 7 years ago
Hi! I'm planning to use this with a 5v system, do I need to use some level conversion for this or is it just Plug'n'Play ? :)
Product GPS-10921 about 7 years ago
I think the last part of the description here is incorrect. It sais that it has an integrated power supply and external SPI flash, which I don't see in the schematic. Looks like it's just copied from the venus logger.

We've all heard the horror stories: someone electrocuted in their home after a freak accident. It might have been bad wiring or just bad luck, but in either case, every one of these stories points to the same basic statement with applies to everyone, no matter what their age or level of experience: if you're going to be dealing with electricity, you need to know what you're doing – and that means not just the simple things, but a good overview of everything that is related.
Go to any library and you'll be able to find a book about how to wire a plug or how to re-wire things in the home. There's no doubt that these manuals are important and serve as a great basic level of instruction: for the amateur they can save money where there is none, and allow virtually anyone to fix the basic things. But there comes a point in any manual when the information stops and the questions begin. And that's why signing up to do courses is absolutely vital for anyone who is considering this challenging but rewarding career.
Another reason these courses matter is more critical: let's say you're looking to become the kind of electrician who works in large buildings and deals with the electricity supply running through countless floors of offices. In this case, you need to understand the implications of your actions, because re-wiring a house is very much different to starting work on a London office building. More to the point, with electricity being used by so many people, the stakes are higher and you'll need a sound understanding of what to watch out for.
Working with other electricians is obviously also important; while many electricians work on their own, in some circumstances they may need to work not only with electricians, but with builders, plumbers and joiners. All these people will be relying on electricity to do their jobs, so in some ways the electrician carries more responsibility than he or she may at first be aware of.
Aside from the safety aspects of working as an electrician, technology is moving all the time and learning from the internet – or even from someone who has been an electrician for many years – simply isn't enough. Neither will be able to show you how the most modern techniques actually work in a modern working environment, whereas these courses happen in places which are legally required to keep on top of the latest advances.
The result of learning from these qualified instructors is efficiency, safety and discipline. By learning step-by-step the right way to do things, you also won't pick up bad habits that will be difficult to shake-off as the years go by. Instead, you'll be acquiring knowledge which means you'll always be up-to-date with the latest guidelines. Rules which keep everyone safe as they go about their work, beginning with YOU!

Tandem 2.0
Get fluent together. Practice languages, anytime, anywhere.
#3 Product of the DayOctober 16, 2016
You need to become a Contributor to join the discussion.
William S HuxleyHunter@williamshuxley · Multidisciplinary Designer
If you're learning a new language, this app provides a great way to put into practice what you've learning using Duolingo, Rosetta Stone and the like.
Hi Product Hunt! This is Arnd from Tandem. We are building a free, global language learning community that empowers everyone, everywhere to speak like a native. There are a lot of excellent apps to learn the basics of a new language - vocabulary, basic grammar and listening comprehension. But to master a new language, you have to speak it! We want Tandem to be the fastest, cheapest and most engaging way way to become proficient in any language, by speaking with amazing people. Tandem is a members only app, and we value our community more than anything else. When learning a language online, its important to trust your language exchange partner to get the best results. We get that, and we're working hard to ensure that there are no fake accounts, that our members are interested in cultural exchange, language learning, and are generally nice people. :) That's why we ask new members to fill out a small questionnaire, use your real name and age, and upload a real picture before you get access to the Tandem community. It's easier to start a chat or jump into a video call if you know who you're talking to from the start! It might take a few hours to get accepted if everything is right with your profile. If you haven't heard from us within 24h - let us know at email@example.com. To cut the queue, use this invite code, specially for Product Hunters: QY1PH
Paweł Kuna@codecalm · Owner at codecalm.net
OMG you are awesome! After 30 minutes I talk with 4 people from 3 countries in 2 languages only with 1 app ;) Thanks a lot for it!
Elizabeth S Hunker@elizabethhunker · elizabeth.ai
A noble effort. I'll test this with my sis in Spain. @sshilko @cycaha @leducbao @tobiasdickmeis @williamshuxley
Evan Kimbrell@evankimbrell · Founder, Sprintkick
Id love to see something like this focused not just on language learning but retention. You'd be amazed how well you can keep your learned language skills if you just talked to someone 5 minutes a day
@evankimbrell, thanks for your note - good point. We have designed Tandem to give members a high degree of freedom, so that people can reach pretty different goals using the Tandem method, e.g. learning from scratch, preparing for a semester abroad, brushing up old skills or practicing for an interview... At the moment we are working to provide more and more guidance (for example using game mechanics) to support some of the most common use cases. And retention is an important one.

Trump postpones decision on business dealings
David Jackson and Fredreka Schouten , USA TODAY 7:32 p.m. EST December 12, 2016
WASHINGTON — Donald Trump is postponing a news conference designed to announce plans on how to handle his business interests amid concerns that they pose conflict of interest problems for his presidency, Trump transition officials said Monday.
While Trump had said he would speak to the matter on Thursday, aides said he will now wait until January to outline how he would pass control of his company to others.
"The announcement has been rescheduled for next month," transition spokesman Hope Hicks said.

Even if he does build it it will be the biggest waste of money ever Seeing most illegals enter the states legally and 40% by plane.

He should have thought of that before setting a date for this news conference. Must be a pretty convoluted outline if he had to postpone it.
It's already built, a lot of it anyway. Like ES said, plenty of wall already built around towns like Juarez which is a complete #hole, over run with murder, drugs, prostitution.
Now, what is the biggest waste of money:
1. People collecting welfare doing nothing or,
2. People building a wall, earning income and slowing down illegal aliens like in Juarez that are a bunch of criminals for the most part.

So he set up the news conference knowing all along that he was going to postpone it? Seems like a real genuine guy. Not.

When considering the impact of BIPV on green construction, it's important to clarify the following terminology of the photovoltaics industry applications::
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) estimates BIPV and BAPV applications have the potential to generate up to half the electricity in this country; that includes photovoltaic (PV) modules installed in BIPV curtain walls, window walls, sunscreens, skylights, and related products.
PV modules essentially have the same structural and thermal performance as monolithic glass, spandrel glass and insulating glass. In fact, PV modules can actually replace these conventional glass applications; new technology has developed transparent PV modules, which improve the energy efficiency of a building while generating electricity and providing an aesthetically appealing appearance.
Fast Facts
Here are some impressive growth statistics from the photovoltaics industry in the United States:
Since 2010 the U.S. PV market had a compounded growth rate of 58%.
The same level of growth hasn't happened for the glass and glazing industry; during the recession years, building construction fell to the lowest level since World War II. However, the U.S. non-residential BIPV segment is positioned for major traction for several very important reasons.
The average cost of solar panels has declined 70% since the beginning of 2009, according to the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. As materials become more easily accessible and more widely used, the market will likely force those costs down even further over time.
Grid Parity
Grid parity is when PV electricity is equal to or cheaper than grid power from utilities. Gird parity is occurring throughout our country because utility rates have increased every year for the past twenty years. Plus, there is increasing pressure on carbon reduction rates. Fewer power plants are being built as a result of higher construction costs, as well as the lengthy delays encountered due to demanding environmental impact studies. The state of California, for one, is counting on installing more solar power, rather than building more power plants, to meet the future needs of its utilities. In fact, most of the United States is expected to reach grid parity by 2020.
The Department of Energy has set a goal for 100 percent of new commercial buildings to be "Net-Zero" energy buildings by 2025. In other words, new buildings will have to produce at least as much energy as they use. One obvious solution is adopting BIPV fenestration applications, which can reduce a building's energy consumption to the required "Net-Zero" rating.
News Flash
In the true spirit of its western pioneering history, The City of San Francisco passed an ordinance that, beginning January 2017, all new commercial buildings with ten floors or less must install solar PV modules. The U.S. Green Building Council has endorsed this move, and predicts that other cities will soon follow San Francisco's lead.
The United States is expected to keep its lead as the fastest growing major PV market in the world. This is partly due to the new technology in transparent PV modules, which, due to their appealing aesthetics over "black and blue" modules, will help drive more architects to adopt and incorporate BIPV solutions into their design portfolios,
However, certain obstacles must be overcome if BIPV is to reach mainstream acceptance; the solutions themselves must meet a unique combination of attractive aesthetics, design flexibility, transparency and glare control, high power density, and high performing glass. Plus, BIPV must provide a fast investment payback in order to turn building façades into feasible generating assets.
BIPV should be one of the first considerations of any architect designing a green building today. The construction industry has a major opportunity to unlock the solar power potential in a building's façade. Additionally, the glass and solar industries will reap the benefits of widespread acceptance and adoption of BIPV solutions.

Bamboo is such a versatile plant. Other than being the favorite food of pandas, it is a raw material for flooring and making furniture. But did you know that it can also be turned into bedding fabric? It's true and it's just as soft as Egyptian cotton or silk, but way more affordable.
Here are some important reasons you should buy bamboo sheets:
Naturally Antibacterial and Hypoallergenic
Bamboo has fibers that are naturally resistant to bacteria, mold, and mildew. This is why it's ideal for people with sensitive skin or those suffering from skin allergies.
Does Not Require a Lot of Care
Bamboo sheets are not as high maintenance as some other bedding materials. They are machine washable as long as you use mild soap and gentle cycle. The best part is, its fibers have a natural resistance to odor, so the sheets don't require a lot of washing.
Durable and Soft
Bamboo sheets can withstand years of washing without much wear because of the strong fibers. While they are extremely durable, they are still unbelievably soft. They are even being compared to silk.
Environmentally Friendly
Bamboo plants don't need chemicals, pesticides, or any artificial fertilizer to grow. On top of that, they grow fast and are renewable without the need for replanting, which gives manufacturers highly sustainable resources. Only the top part of the stalks are harvested, leaving the roots untouched so they can still grow and be harvested in just three years. Bamboo sheets are also biodegradable.
Thermo-Regulating in Nature
Bamboo sheets have great ventilation and wicking properties because the inner fibers are naturally non-porous, making them extra absorbent and breathable. These sheets also have great thermo-regulating properties, which can keep you warm during the cold season and cool when the weather is hot.
Bamboo sheets are affordable, as they can be produced in large quantities and in just a short period. This is because bamboo plants grow fast.
When you buy bamboo sheets, you need to check the label carefully. Tencel bamboo is the most environmentally friendly type. On the other hand, bamboo rayon sheets are very soft, but the manufacturing process involves the use of toxic chemicals. Bamboo linen is another great option, but it requires more maintenance.

Ask most smart, liberal-identifying people about how they know climate change is real and they'll tell you point blank: science.
Ask the same intelligent, rational people why they believe in evolution, and—again—they'll say science, most likely while rolling their eyes.
Ask this group of I Love F*cking Science fans (and Neil deGrasse Tyson groupies) if they would support scientific advances to help feed the world and they'd exclaim: YES, OF COURSE!
But ask if the same good-hearted (and "LIKE" minded) individuals if they support genetically modified foods (also known as GMOs) and they'll scream, shout and share in horror: NOOOOOOOOO!
And that's despite the fact that a vast majority of scientists (including NdGT) believe that GMOs are safe. Or that the editors of Scientific American strongly advocate for the continued development of this "immensely beneficial technology."
The Canadian developers of the Arctic apple—a genetically modified apple that the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved for sale last week—vastly underestimate the opposition they'll face when launching their new (and wholly harmless) product.
Because rather than increasing yields to feed growing populations or reducing the use of pesticides, the Arctic offers a cosmetic and rather benign benefit: It cleverly "silences" the enzymatic browning of apples once they're cut.
I can already see the torches and pitchforks of villagers outside my office window: This Frankenfood is in for a helluva' fight. Hopefully one that doesn't slow, or even halt, the development of GMO foods that can help feed the world.
Why do I think so? Because the personal values of purity, naturalness and goodness trump science when it comes to the food we put in our mouths. And that rational people act as irrationally as anyone else, regardless of the scientific facts.
For strategic communicators, that's critical food for thought.

Hi all,
In my application there is a requirement to use the
wxDatePickerCtrl wxwidget. When I am using this widget I am unable to get the date which is
selected from the datePicker widget.
For example:
If I select 17th July 2017 in the datePicker Widget,
the correct date is displayed in the text area. But when I
click anywhere out of the area, it gets updated back to the
current date with some garbage value such as Monday1517October201717. Is there any solution or
work-around for this problem?

By: Frances Molina
The setting is Harlem 2025. Holographic butterflies hover above a colorful bedroom scene where four women, each adorned in neon and glitter, sleep beside one another. The record begins, a sort of techno pop lullaby, poorly produced but catchy all the same. The four women stir and awaken, giggling and chatting with other over their retro cellphones and Tamagotchi toys. The girl at the center of the group, blue butterfly clips in her hair and diamonds around her eyes, starts to sing along to the melody. She pouts the words with a practiced cool, breaking every once and awhile to smile and laugh with her friends. This is Princess Nokia. I fell in love.
The next time I saw Princess Nokia it was the premiere of her video for "Tomboy," a record released in 2016, nearly two years after "Nokia." Here was a more mature but distinctly similar woman: bare-faced, dressed in baggy street clothes, standing at the center of an inner-city basketball court, flanked by her friends. The beat of the music is mid-tempo, almost militant, with the fierce growl of car engines murmuring somewhere in the background. The beat breaks with the sound of a blade slicing the air and you hear her shout, with a voice full of bravado: "Who that is, hoe?/ That girl is a tomboy, that girl is a tomboy, that girl is a tomboy!"
I fell in love all over again.
Princess Nokia aka Destiny Frasqueri is a poet, a mystic, a model and a rapper. Like many of our great contemporary prophets of art and culture, she was born and bred in New York City. As a young girl, she had already mastered the streets and subway lines that shuttled her back and forth between Spanish Harlem and the Lower East Side. In interviews, Destiny is quite candid about her childhood and her past, even the ugliest parts. She speaks honestly about her time in foster care, in abusive households, and toxic relationships; about finding herself as a woman, as a black and brown feminist, dealing with drug abuse and depression.
You can hear the faint melodies of this pain in her music, the sadness and the loneliness of a poor brown kid from the Bronx who found shelter in her comic books and fantasy worlds. But it is an unapologetically joyful and fiercely feminist energy that invigorates both her voice and her sound. This energy is most vividly experienced with her debut album 1992, released in 2016, a body of music that celebrates her past, her present, and her future.
To clarify, 1992 is only her debut EP. In the last three years, Destiny has produced a number of records and mixtapes including Metallic Butterfly and Honeysuckle. She was recording and performing under the stage name Wavvy Spice back in 2012 when she released "Bitch I'm Posh," the club track that would officially put her on the music map. Record labels immediately clamored to sign her and - according to Destiny - to try to commodify the vibe of yet another young internet artist. In her FADER documentary, she described the pressure she felt after this initial exposure as a "nightmare." Since then, she has been determined to remain an independent artist, a choice she feels has empowered her "DIY approach."
This choice to remain independent has also given her the freedom to pursue her own side projects such as her podcast, "Smart Girl Club." The podcast started as an afternoon radio slot, a place where Destiny could talk openly about what interested her: feminism, holistic health and beauty, curandismo (a traditionally indigenous system of healing), magic, poetry, music, and her community in New York. It was developed as a "safe space for brown women to be radical." When 1992 took off and she started touring across America and Europe, she transferred her podcasts over to her Soundcloud page, making them widely available to her growing fanbase of listeners. It was one of these podcasts that introduced me to "urban feminism," the concept that arguably serves as the artistic foundation of her music and her art.
Her album 1992 is a declaration of urban feminism, a branch of feminism she fashioned from her experiences growing up in poverty. She defines urban feminism as "a tangible form of feminism that is accessible to inner-city ghetto women, who do not have access to the institutionalized forms of feminism;" a movement built for the "oppressed ghetto woman" who "believes she deserves to be free." Destiny developed the concept of urban feminism, she says, "because there were no black girls in the Riot Grrrl documentary".
As a girl growing up in the '90s, she connected with the politics of third wave feminism, but was bothered by the obvious lack of inclusion. Urban feminism was her attempt at trying to bridge the gap between two worlds: the radical feminist politics she loved and the reality of life in the ghetto she lived. 1992 could arguably be called a collection of Riot Grrrl anthems for women and queer people of color, who can now find safety and acceptance in a radical space that was not intended for them. But make no mistake: there is a little something for everyone on this album. This is music for the black and brown feminist and for the working woman; for the NYC tough kids and for the self-proclaimed brujas; for the losers, the nerds, and the loners.
I asked a few of my friends to talk about how Princess Nokia and her music has impacted them as young feminists, artists, and women of color. This is what they had to say:
"In her song "Tomboy," the chorus "My little titties and my fat belly" really speaks to me. Growing up I had extreme body dysmorphia and people would comment on my small chest and large stomach. Obviously at this age, I've grown to the point where I don't let people get to me and can fend for myself. Now whenever someone says something about me, it just rolls off my shoulders. I love how sure of herself Princess Nokia is. She doesn't give a fuck." – Isabella Lemos
"I first heard Destiny's music this past summer when my friend introduced me to "Tomboy" and then to "Apple Pie." At first, I was a little bit thrown off because "Tomboy" is so in your face and wonderful and I didn't know how to react to it – but I knew that I loved it. One of my favorite things about Destiny is that she is so unapologetic and accepting of WOC, which I really need right now…I don't think I can articulate how helpful she has been to me. I also really love her spiritual beliefs. She's made me more interested to practice curandismo and brujeria as a means to learn about my indigenous heritage. She is the source of all that is good in this world." - Pamela Del Valle
As for myself, I would have to agree with Pamela. I don't know if I can articulate all that I love and admire about Destiny Frasqueri or the incredible impact of her music. These few paragraphs, composed with love and respect, are for now the very least I can do to say thank you to Princess Nokia.
Currently, Destiny is currently touring Europe and will return to the United States to perform at FYF Fest and the 2017 Afropunk festival. For more updates and fire selfies, follow her on Instagram @princessnokia. To listen to 1992 and Smart Girl Club Radio, click here.

This is in response to a query from Cynthia about transitioning to natural hair for her and her daughter. I will do another article specifically on children's hair later. My first contribution to Zed Hair is based on seven years of being natural - a thrilling, fascinating and sometimes frustrating journey and this is what I have learned.
Relaxed hair in not easier – we're just accustomed to it. Take a good look at what relaxing entails – oils, creams, burns, the expense and especially the long term effects to our hair and scalp such as thinning and breaking and I'm sure you're agree it's more complex than we believe.
Natural hair will grow without any help - avoid the temptation to complicate it. Many of the websites offer complex hair care methods that question the term "natural." If you want to know about natural – ask

A sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease, obesity, and diabetes. This phenomenon is supported by recent studies suggesting a chronic, low-grade inflammation status. Endotoxin derived from gut flora may be key to the development of inflammation by stimulating the secretion of inflammatory factors. This study aimed to examine plasma inflammatory markers and endotoxin levels in individuals with a sedentary lifestyle and/or in highly trained subjects at rest. Methods: Fourteen male subjects (sedentary lifestyle n = 7; highly trained subjects n = 7) were recruited. Blood samples were collected after an overnight fast (~12 h). The plasmatic endotoxin, plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1), monocyte chemotactic protein-1 (MCP1), ICAM/CD54, VCAM/CD106 and lipid profile levels were determined.
Endotoxinemia was lower in the highly trained subject group relative to the sedentary subjects (p < 0.002). In addition, we observed a positive correlation between endotoxin and PAI-1 (r = 0.85, p < 0.0001), endotoxin and total cholesterol (r = 0.65; p < 0.01), endotoxin and LDL-c (r = 0.55; p < 0.049) and endotoxin and TG levels (r = 0.90; p < 0.0001). The plasma levels of MCP-1, ICAM/CD54 and VCAM/CD106 did not differ.
These results indicate that a lifestyle associated with high-intensity and high-volume exercise induces favorable changes in chronic low-grade inflammation markers and may reduce the risk for diseases such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular diseases.

A sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of developing cardiovascular disease and diabetes [1, 2], as well as many other diseases that are linked to inflammatory markers in the plasma [3]. In previous work, we showed that sedentary subjects present a favorable state that leads to hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia together with high levels of plasminogen activator inhibitor type-1 (PAI-1). On the other hand, the performance of highly trained athletes and a large amount of exercise significantly reduced the possibility of risk for cardiovascular diseases [4].
In recent years, it has been hypothesized that the microbial ecology in humans could be an important factor in energy homeostasis (i.e., obesity, diabetes, fatty liver) [5–10]. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which is also referred to as endotoxin, has been implicated as potentially important in this respect - as it is a potent inducer of inflammation. Under normal circumstances, only small amounts of endotoxin will cross from the intestinal lumen into the systemic circulation, and the absorbed endotoxin will be rapidly removed by monocytes, particularly resident Kupffer cells within the liver. However, emerging evidence indicates that a chronic, low-level elevation of endotoxin may play a role in insulin-resistant states and obesity [6, 7].
Leuwer et al. [8] have shown that endotoxinemia leads to major increases in inflammatory adipokine (TNF-α, IL-6, and MCP-1) gene expression in the white adipose tissue of mice. Indeed, previous studies in human adipose tissue have demonstrated that both states of obesity and T2DM induce an up-regulation of inflammatory genes [7].
Whereas limited data have been presented on the increased levels of endotoxin in pathological conditions such as obesity, diabetes and fatty liver, to date, no studies have compared sedentary and highly trained subjects. Therefore, the objective of the present study was to correlate the plasma levels of endotoxin and inflammatory markers (MCP-1, ICAM/CD54, and VCAM/CD106) between sedentary and highly trained subjects. We hypothesized that individuals that performed large amounts of exercise (moderate/high intensity and long duration) would demonstrate lower levels of endotoxin and inflammatory markers compared to sedentary subjects.
Fourteen healthy, non-smoking men participated in this study. The subjects were sedentary (n = 7) [age 28.6 (6.9) years, height 174.0 (0.04) cm, weight 75.6 (10.2) kg] or highly trained athletes in cycling (n = 7) [age 29.8 (5.7) years, height 177.0 (0.06) cm, weight 74.7 (4.4) kg]. The physical and training characteristics of both groups have been described previously by Lira et al. [4]. The benefits and risks were explained before written consent was obtained. The study procedures were previously approved by the Ethics Committee of the Federal University of São Paulo. The non-inclusion criteria were as follows: identified genetic, metabolic or endocrine disease, previous drug utilization, or non-exercise. The athletes avoided exercise for 48 h.
Blood sampling and analysis
A catheter was inserted in a brachial vein to collect venous blood samples. The blood samples (10 ml) were immediately transferred into two 5-ml vacutainer tubes (Becton Dickinson, BD, Juiz de Fora, MG, Brazil) containing EDTA for plasma separation. The tubes were centrifuged at 3000 × g for 15 minutes at 4°C, and plasma samples were stored at -80°C until analysis. Triglycerides and total cholesterol were assessed using commercial enzymatic kits (Labtest®, São Paulo, Brazil). LDL cholesterol was calculated according to Friedewald et al. [11]. PAI-1, MCP1, ICAM/CD54 and VCAM/CD106 were assessed using commercial kits (R&D systems Europe, Ltd. Abingdon Science Park, Abingdon, OX14 3NB, United Kingdom). Some of results obtained for the lipoprotein profiles and characteristics of the subjects have been described previously by our group [4].
Measurement of circulating endotoxin levels
Plasma endotoxin was assayed using a chromogenic limulus amoebocyte lysate (LAL) test, which is a quantitative test for Gram-negative bacterial endotoxin (Cambrex, Charles City, Iowa, USA). Gram-negative bacterial endotoxin catalyzes the activation of a proenzyme in the LAL. The initial rate of activation is directly determined by the concentration of endotoxin. The activated enzyme catalyzes the splitting of p-nitroaniline (pNA) from the colorless substrate Ac-lle-Glu-Ala-Arg-pNA. The pNA released was measured photometrically at 405-410 nm following termination of the reaction. The correlation between the absorbance and the endotoxin concentration is linear in the range of 0.1-1.0 EU/ml. For the purposes of this study, all samples were run in duplicate within the same plate; therefore, no interassay variability was observed.
To assess the recovery of endotoxin within the assay, known concentrations of recombinant endotoxin (0.25 and 1.00 EU/ml) were added to diluted plasma to determine whether the expected concentration correlated closely with the actual observed value and whether there were any variations due to reactivity with plasma contents. Lyophilized endotoxin (E. coli origin) was used to generate a standard curve with the chromogenic LAL test kit from Cambrex according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Statistical analyses
The distribution of the data was previously checked using Bartlett's test for equal variances, and the data are reported as the means ± standard deviations. The differences in plasma parameters among the groups were assessed using the unpaired t-test. The Pearson correlation coefficient was calculated to assess the relationship between variables. The analysis was carried out using GraphPad Prism (version 5.00) software, and the significance level was set at p < 0.05.

The results of the present study indicate that endotoxin levels may be associated with the lifestyle of the subject. Highly trained subjects that performed large amounts of exercise demonstrated lower levels of plasmatic endotoxin than did the subjects with a sedentary lifestyle. In addition, the plasma PAI-1, total cholesterol, LDL-c and TG concentrations were positively correlated with endotoxin levels. Previous studies have demonstrated that endotoxin levels are elevated in some conditions, such as obesity, diabetes and cardiovascular and fatty liver diseases.
Systemic low-level inflammation has been suggested to be a cause and a consequence of pathological processes associated with the production of local pro-inflammatory molecules functioning as an important biological driver [12]. In the present study, we discovered no differences in the levels of MCP-1, ICAM/CD54 or VCAM/CD106 between sedentary lifestyle and highly trained subjects. Although the subjects with a sedentary lifestyle exhibited higher levels of endotoxin when compared to highly trained subjects, they might have had a low grade of inflammation. Therefore, they might not have presented high levels of MCP-1, ICAM/CD54 or VCAM/CD106, and a progressive, long-term increase in inflammatory factors could lead to the development of obesity, diabetes, and fatty liver. Pedersen [13] described that physical inactivity leads to an accumulation of visceral fat and, consequently, to activation of a network of inflammatory pathways that promote the development of insulin resistance, atherosclerosis, neurodegeneration, and tumor growth, thereby leading to the development of diseases associated with the "diseasome of physical inactivity".
The data presented herein demonstrate for the first time that highly trained subjects show lower endotoxin levels compared to sedentary subjects.
Creely et al. [7] found that circulating serum endotoxin is higher in type 2 diabetes patients than in lean healthy subjects, and endotoxin can activate the innate immune pathway in isolated abdominal adipocytes to stimulate the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines. The present authors suggested a role for endotoxin in initiating the subclinical inflammation observed in these conditions. In high-fat diet animal models, Cani et al. [6] observed that metabolic concentrations of plasma endotoxin/LPS are a sufficient molecular mechanism for triggering the high-fat diet-induced metabolic diseases obesity and diabetes. In a recent paper, Harte et al. [10] showed that patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) were characterized by a significant increase in circulating levels of endotoxin. These results were independent of the diabetic status of the patient, and therefore, the authors suggest that endotoxin levels may represent an important early marker of potential liver abnormalities.
Many studies [14–16] have demonstrated the benefits of exercise training, which leads to an anti-inflammatory state in obese rat and human models. Bradley et al. [17] reported that voluntary exercise in diet-induced obese mice reduced adiposity despite continuous consumption of a high-fat diet. In addition, exercise resulted in a normalization of insulin sensitivity and decreased adipose tissue inflammation (reduced IKK-β gene expression) in these animals. These data demonstrated the positive role of exercise training in preventing the development of some diseases, such as obesity, diabetes, and fatty liver.
The protective effect of regular exercise against diseases associated with chronic inflammation may be, to some extent, ascribed to an anti-inflammatory effect that reinforces anti-inflammatory responses. Indeed, it has been suggested and demonstrated by Pedersen's group that cytokines and other peptides are expressed and released by contracting muscle fibers, and they function in a paracrine or endocrine manner and are classified as "myokines" [13]. In a previous study [18], we have shown that adipose tissue also functions as a source of anti-inflammatory factors such as interleukin-10 (IL-10) in chronic exercised rats.
Starkie et al. [19] demonstrated that intravenous endotoxin infusion induces a two to three-fold increase in plasma TNF-α levels. However, when subjects adopted an acute exercise protocol (75% VO2max), the production of TNF-α elicited by low-grade endotoxemia was inhibited in humans. Consistent with the data described above, Chen et al. [20] found that chronically exercised rats exhibited minor pathological changes in the heart, liver, and lung after endotoxemia.
Another factor of interest in the present study was the correlation between the lipid profiles and endotoxin levels. These interrelations may contribute to the development of cardiovascular diseases and fatty liver. Alvarez and Ramos [21] observed that patients hospitalized for various reasons who developed sepsis during their stay showed altered lipoprotein profiles (such as hypertriglyceridemia), and this change was reversed to normal levels following recovery from infections. Using an animal model, Feingold et al. [22] observed that the administration of a high dose of endotoxin (50 μg/100 g body weight) did not increase hepatic fatty acid synthesis or peripheral lipolysis, and furthermore, hepatic triglyceride secretion was not stimulated. Thus, a low dose of endotoxin (10 ng/100 g body weight) produces hypertriglyceridemia by increasing hepatic lipoprotein production, whereas a high dose of endotoxin produces hypertriglyceridemia by decreasing lipoprotein catabolism. In a recent paper, our group demonstrated that sedentary subjects exhibited higher lipoprotein and PAI-1 levels when compared with highly trained subjects [4]. These dysfunctions may contribute to the appearance of diseases.
The limitations of this study include the relatively small numbers of subjects in each of the groups and the lack of subjects with cardiovascular and other diseases.
In summary, our results indicate that sedentary subjects present a favorable state that leads to hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia accompanied by high endotoxin levels. In contrast, the performance of highly trained subjects and large amounts of exercise significantly reduced the possibility of risk for cardiovascular diseases.

North Dakota education thrives despite oil bust
During the oil boom, state departments thrived off increased tax money and schools received more than enough funding. However, during the economic downturn, states that depended too heavily on oil taxes, such as Oklahoma, struggle to fund their education systems.

That's what Johnson & Wales University and Roger Williams Law School have teamed up to offer. The two universities announced a new articulation agreement on Thursday, which would allow students to enter law school after their junior year of college.
The program, available to students in JWU's liberal studies major, provides a Bachelor of Science upon successful completion of the first year of law school at RWU. The universities are touting it as "the first agreement of its kind between a Rhode Island university and RWU Law."
JWU officials say the agreement is in keeping with their "pragmatic, professional approach to education," pointing out it will save students a full year of undergraduate tuition. It may also help RWU fill more seats in the law school, which saw a drop in applications during the Recession.
The downward trend was felt at law schools across the country, but RWU took an unusual step to lower tuition in 2014. RWU officials have said they kept law school classes smaller, rather than lower the bar for acceptance.

Thank you for all of your lovely comments over the past few days. They've warmed my heart.
Lots of love,
How fabulous! I love toad stools! I have they all about the house some crochet ones hanging from my pot rack, even some in mason jar candle holders.Fun in a box!ReplyDelete
I was fortunate to have the first month's Little Box of Crochet, where I was able to make these wonderful toadstools :)
I have them in pride of place on a shelf in my living room, and they are one of the first things visitors see when they come in - I've had some great compliments about them :)
Thank you for designing such wonderful things :)
Suprisingly cute, yet realisticReplyDelete
that looks yummy, your hands are genious. I wonder if I can make one, tooReplyDelete
Hi Kate,
Impressive designs. "Little Box of Crochets" is the perfect gift for my Granny. I will surprise her by presenting it on her birthday. :)

Seven riders set out for Jodrell Bank via Rudyard and Rushton Spencer. Ade M was leading and providing advice on riding as a group, this being a club ride after all and we are getting in to some bad habits. We stuck together and supported each other. We turned off the main road and headed to North Rode and Marton before reaching Tremlow Green and Goostrey. We turned right here to head to Jodrell bank and admired a new small, housing estate while trying not to think about how much a home there would cost. The bike shed and the garden fence was crowded with bikes which was a nice sight but we managed to find space while Ant A took advantage of the confusion to rush to the till. Riders were amused by the large plates and tiny flapjacks offered.
As we rode out we heard a motor bike fall over and the group discussed the potential cost. The group was asked to stick together and NOT RIDE OFF! With this in mind, we set off back and were passed by a Morgan three wheel road run group which put a smile on our faces with a mixture of Jap and Norton engines on display. We waved to the drivers and carried on. When riding on the main road, we were peeped at by a few Euro box drivers which was a sad change from the classic car drivers. We turned off and headed to Siydington but two riders failed to note the turn and so carried on so it was decided to carry on. We rode on to Gawsworth where a stop was made to take off layers as it was warming up but no complaints from us after such a cold Winter. We decided to ride over the main Mac road and continue to Sutton Lane Ends where riders spotted a house sign informing people it was The Old Poor House while the house next door had a sign informing us that it was Still The Poor House!. Chris E was having problems with a noisy front wheel bearing but we suspected it sounded more like a electric motor! Another stop was made to remove more layers and we rode in to Wincle and back on to the main Mac road to head back to Leek. Here the pace picked up and it was every rider for himself. Myself and Ade M struggled to move up but we passed riders to gain the front and I was leading but then Ade M rushed pass in a blur and I was laughing too much to attack. We re-grouped at the car park and to our surprise Rob turned up in his car and told us where the missing riders had got to. It was a great, forty seven mile ride and thanks to Ade M for leading and advising.

Although lift-like technologies have existed since ancient times, the history of the modern China Passenger Lift doesn't really begin until the 19th century. That's when the first proper skyscrapers were constructed, and it's no accident that elevator patents began to appear around that time.
The elevator facilitates better mobility between the floors of your home or mansion, enabling you and the elderly members of your family to be independent while also helping transport stuff such as laundry or heavy items up and down the floors. Beyond the utility factor, the home elevator adds value to your home and even accentuates the interiors.
"Designer" is a popular and sophisticated version of a lift home. This model is suitable for those who want to design the interiors of the elevator. This is to improve the interior of their elevators according to your taste with decorations. The standard design has walls and roof of birch veneer, solid wood railing, recess for the lights with white trim bezels, car operating on the panel brushed bronze, finished without a word plus a door of scissors. Group times in Accordion-style gates with other up gradations are also possible. Melamine finish that offers a selection of natural wood grain finish oak or white are some specific architectural design interior finishing options that are available among others. There are multiple options for finished plastic laminate that provide not only a magnificent durable surface, but also a beautiful environment in the elevator inside.
Aside from the appearance, custom elevators give your home or small building more convenience. For moving and lifting objects from one floor to the next, an elevator lets you move furniture and other large items without the stairs. Carrying large items, from televisions to sofas, on your own or with another person is a fall hazard, and moving these items by elevator eliminates that. Additionally, an elevator can make a building more accessible. Although more features may be needed, an elevator large enough to fit a wheelchair allows the inside of a building to be handicap accessible.

Construction on Mantra Epping, a new $70 million hotel development in one of Melbourne"s fastest growing areas, is now underway following the sod-turning ceremony on the 3 November 2017.
Minister for Industry and Employment Ben Carroll and Parliamentary Secretary for Tourism and Major Events Danielle Green today helped turn the first sod on the new Mantra Epping Hotel which will create more than 400 new jobs.
"Mantra Epping Hotel will be a state-of-the-art development, supporting jobs and tourism in a growing part of our city.
This is a welcome jobs boost for a community impacted by the recent closure of car manufacturing"
said Minister for Industry and Employment Ben Carroll.
Developed by Too Build and to be operated by Mantra Group when it opens in mid-2019, the 214-room, four-star hotel has been designed to capitalise on both the history of the northern suburbs and the unique attributes of Epping today.
Too Build Managing Director Ian Wilson said there would be 300 jobs during construction and 120 ongoing jobs at the hotel.
Occupying a prime corner position at 250 Cooper Street within the prestigious Northpoint Enterprise Park at Epping, Melbourne"s fastest growing expansion corridor just 18km north of the CBD, the two-wing hotel has been designed by leading architect Peddle Thorp and Bruce Henderson Interiors.
One of Australia"s largest construction companies, Hacer Group, has been engaged to complete the project build.
Mantra Group Chief Executive Officer Bob East said the Group is thrilled to partner with Too Build, a developer who is in total alignment with Mantra"s commitment to quality.
The 214-room hotel will feature a café and restaurant, bespoke brewhouse, conference and meeting facilities, gymnasium, as well as an open car park with 143 marked bays and secure bicycle storage.
"This new development will be a prime tourism destination in Melbourne's north and contribute significantly to the region's growing visitor economy." said Parliamentary Secretary for Tourism and Major Events Danielle Green.

Me and McGee, Rockabilly Shoegaze, Starrgaze, and the Return of the Rave Hoover
Glasvegas - It's My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry
There used to be a time when Alan McGee had direct access to the money in my pocket. From about 1988 onwards, he'd sign a band and I'd worship them and buy all of their records. It was a mutually beneficial relationship - he got rich, took Scarface quantities of nose-up and went mad, and I filled my shelves with quality music. It was inevitable that this relationship would eventually sour, but it would perhaps be churlish of me to suggest that his talent spotting radar became wonkier than the façade of a Gaudi building when he stopped taking the drugs. But I'm not sure how else to pinpoint the staggering decline in McGee's signings since the Super Furry Animals put pen to blotting paper in 1996. I would probably be more on the money in recognising that his recent unintelligible stream-of-consciousness internet rants against the evils of the music industry have intensified in vitriol since he stopped having hits. I think we all know that it ain't like it used to be, but that's what progress is all about. So Poptones has gone down the shitter – deal with it. Labels like Domino and Warp still seem to be thriving and they aren't in the pockets of the majors.
So, to the point – it's been a while since me and Alan agreed on anything, but it finally seems like the old boy's ears might be starting to function again as he was one of the first to champion the excellent new Glasgow band, Glasvegas, in one of the aforementioned rants last year. As always, McGee is looking for the new Beatles/Pistols/Oasis, but it's heartening to hear that Glasvegas's dominant influences come from outside of that triumvirate's domineering sphere. The Dalmarnock-based four-piece marry classic 1950s songwriting, in the vein of hits like Del Shannon's 'Runaway', to a tornado of white noise, creating a sort of rockabilly shoegaze sound, with lead singer James Allan crooning in his thick, Glaswegian accent.
You could easily imagine The Ronettes recording the band's second single, 'Daddy's Gone', which is due for release on a limited edition 7" and download through Sane Man Recordings on November 5th 2007. It's got that whole Spector/Wall of Sound thing going on, in a heartbreaking tale of the pain caused by an absent father. On the flip side it's tissues at the ready again with 'Flowers and Football Tops', inspired by a mother who lost her son to a senseless murder, and eerily prescient following the recent death of Rhys Jones in Liverpool. 'Flowers…' opens with a shimmering wall of guitar distortion, before Moe Tucker-esque drum thuds and Allan's soulful vocal kick in, bizarrely recalling John Travolta singing 'Sandy' in 'Grease' on the chorus. This is a good thing – trust me. I'm not so sure about the ending, when Allan intones 'You Are My Sunshine' over Slowdive guitars – mawkish or moving? I can't decide.
I'm posting a home demo of a track called 'It's My Own Cheating Heart That Makes Me Cry', a belting tune that shows Allan's got a bit in common with Alex Turner, with the way he crams too many words into one line, upsetting the lyrical rhythm of the song but making you listen twice as hard to what he's saying. In this case, he brilliantly riffs on the trials of being a teenager - "The ecstasy doesnae work it makes you worse, I'm feeling so guilty about the things I said to my Ma when I was 10 year old" and "I think my missus has fucked every guy she looks at" - themes relevant back in the1950s that still resonate today.
A final word on McGee - his recent decision as manager of the Charlatans to give away the new single for free because "nobody buys CDs anymore" smacks of a publicity stunt rather than a magnanimous gesture. Plus, how are new bands like Glasvegas who are just starting out and need some sort of traditional music industry model to be intact (i.e. sell records / downloads – make money) supposed to survive if bands with an established following and plenty of cash decide to start giving everything away for free?

Alan McGee waxes lyrical on his Guardian blog
Ringo Deathstarr - Swirly
Ringo Deathstarr are exactly the sort of band McGee would have signed back in 1991 and I would have fallen head over heels in love with. Their excellent moniker suggests they'd be happy sharing the bill with Napalm Death, but they are in fact a corking four-piece from Texas who recall the glory years of Jesus and Mary Chain, My Bloody Valentine and Drop Nineteens. I absolutely love them, and listening to this EP made me feel 17 all over again; the distorted mess of gorgeous, fuzzy guitars and buried vocals replicating the confusion that reigned in my nascent, addled mind at that time. I'm posting 'Swirly', with that groaning, 'warped tape' guitar sound that Kevin Shields perfected on 'Loveless'. It clocks in at a measly 2 minutes but should go on forever. I guess the hard of heart could dismiss this out of hand for being rather derivative but seeing as how shoegazing didn't really get a fair crack of the whip the first time round, it deserves a second coming, and bands like Ringo Deathstarr should be at the forefront of the scene.
Ringo Deathstarr's self-titled five-track debut was released by the ever-wonderful SVC Records, the digital label offshoot of the Spoilt Victorian Child blog. It's available now from them for a measly £2, but is also getting a hardcopy CD release on October 29th 2007, as well as being available through iTunes and other digital download sites. The band is supporting The Dandy Warhols on a couple of dates in Texas at the end of October and seem destined for very big things indeed.

Colder - To the Music (Optimo Espacio Mix)
All the hipster blogs have already posted Optimo's AWESOME remix of Colder's 'Into the Music' weeks ago, so I was having second thoughts about sticking it up. But it's so fucking good I had to do it, even if it simply serves to demonstrate how slow I am to get onto things. At first it seems the Scottish duo of Twitch and Wilkes are turning in a fairly standard rework of Marc Nguyen Tan's glacial Parisian-cool take on Joy Division, but then somebody locates the rave hoover in the cupboard under the stairs and gives it some proper welly, the likes of which these ears haven't heard since Human Resource used a similar appliance to suck my sorry ass onto the dancefloor back in 1991. Fan-fucking-tastic.
This remix is part of a 4-track 12" entitled 'I Hate… Remixes' released on Process Recordings, a companion to the forthcoming 'I Hate Music - A Compilation of Output Recordings 1996-2006' 3CD box-set. Both hit the shelves in November.

Human Resource - Dominator (Beltram Mix)
And seeing as I've been away for so long and in celebration of the return of the rave hoover, here's Joey Beltram's belting remix of Human Resource's 'Dominator'. I won't leave it so long again I promise. x

This week's question at Booking Through Thursday:
All other things (like price and storage space) being equal, given a choice in a perfect world, would you rather have paperbacks in your library? Or hardcovers? And why?
At the risk of being considered shallow in my love of books, I confess the tactile element of bookish-ness is very important to me. How does the book feel in my hand – is the spine narrow and elegant, or thick and cumbersome? Is the cover slick and glossy to touch, or smooth and muted? Does the book fall open easily, welcoming me back inside, or is it reluctant to stay open, it's pages coyly turning inward?
I love hard-covered books – a stack of them piled high on my table says, "here is wonderful, serious reading to be done, words of great importance are sheltered in these firm walls, rich, delicious words are at home here in this lovely vessel."
A library room, floor to ceiling shelves lined with hardcover books…
