Romain Grosjean has come in for some stick from Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button following the Hungarian Grand Prix...
Romain Grosjean has come in for some stick from Fernando Alonso and Jenson Button following the Hungarian Grand Prix.
The Lotus driver, who started P3 and finished sixth at the Hungaroring, was involved in separate incidents on Sunday with Button, Alonso as well as Felipe Massa.
Grosjean wasn't impressed after he was handed a drive-through penalty for the Massa incident, but Alonso welcomed the punishment after he got away with it on the opening lap.
"We thought that the start was the only opportunity because we were not quick enough. We did not maximise the good start we did," the Spaniard said.
"Grosjean was concentrating on only me, maybe he forgot that we are racing 24 [sic. 22] cars. I was happy that he paid penalty after to compensate a little bit for his aggressiveness."
The Frenchman, though, did apologise to Button after they made contact on Lap 24 and he was handed a 20-second penalty by the stewards after the incident.
Button says there was not much he could've done to avoid the accident.
"I'm going to see the stewards about it, but I think it's pretty straightforward - I couldn't go any more left," the McLaren driver said immediately after the race.
"That's it, really. Unless I'm on the grass, which is not where I want to be when I'm braking for a corner, he had no way of not hitting me. I obviously didn't realise how narrow the circuit was at that corner...
"It could have been a lot worse than it was. It could have ended both of our races. I was quite lucky. I think our cars are robust."

Posted in Our Planet, Our Universe
Nearly eight months ago, NASA launched Curiosity - the latest Mars rover - into space. Set to land on Monday, August 6 at 1:31 a.m. EST, NASA scientists and observers around the world anxiously await to see if Curiosity will able to maneuver the landing process and successfully set down on the Red Planet.
NASA scientists and engineers spend so much time working with the Mars Laboratory rovers that the robots become almost like pets, and just like pets, the rovers get names that often say a lot about their "personalities." The name "Curiosity" explains exactly the nature of this rover's mission, which is to act as a mobile science laboratory on Mars to investigate whether life could ever exist on the planet.
The rover will begin by studying Gale Crater to see if the area contains any of the necessary ingredients that could sustain life. NASA scientists considered 60 different landing sites and spent diligent time analyzing all possibilities before deciding upon Gale Crater as the designated landing location for Curiosity. About as large as Rhode Island, the site was chosen because it provides a variety of interesting places for the rover to explore and is clear of hazards which will help with a safe landing. The rover, which is no larger than a small SUV, will spend the majority of its time examining rocks and soils in the remote areas of Gale Crater.
While Curiosity is not the first rover ever sent to Mars, it will certainly be the most advanced. Like a mobile science laboratory, Curiosity is packed with special instruments and cameras for doing all kinds of studies while on Mars. It is equipped with 17 cameras that will act as the rover's "eyes" helping Curiosity get where it needs to go and investigate objects it comes across. The rover also has 10 science instruments, some of which include the cameras, to do many of the tasks scientists do in a lab. By utilizing such elite equipment and technology, instead of sending the samples back to Earth for humans to analyze, the Curiosity rover will be able to do laboratory tests right from the Mars surface. The tests and research conducted by Curiosity will not only promote the study of life on Mars, but help scientists and engineers plan for future human missions to our planet's nearest neighbor.
Curiosity is planned to explore and operate on Mars for approximately one Martian year. A Martian year is slightly longer because a day on Mars is 39 minutes longer than a day on Earth, so the overall time of the rover's journey on Mars equates to 98 weeks, or 687 days, on Earth. NASA also has two other spacecrafts, the Reconnaissance Orbiter and Mars Odyssey, which will be orbiting Mars to assist with communication back to Earth during the rover's exploration and to help with the overall success of the mission.
Curious about the rover? Follow the Curiosity Rover on Twitter @MarsCuriosity to track the remainder of the trip and to hear the most recent news and striking updates!

How much bandwidth does a SD Netflix stream on a Wii use? I'm guessing it might dynamically change quality but it's worth a shot. I haven't really been able to find anything definite on the interwebs.
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Web Applications Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for power users of web applications. It's 100% free, no registration required.
SD streaming on Netflix seems to pull around 850 MB/Hour. This probably applies to all of the set-top-box Netflix clients including the Wii.
I don't have a good number, as you mentioned it will fluctuate depending on the position within the stream. But what I can tell you is that you need a 1.5 mbps or better connection for it to be "stable" in my experience.
My personal experience is that bandwith usage through the Wii is way higher than through my Laptop (for whatever reason). Maybe the option to dial down picture quality in the settings doesn't get registered through the Wii platform?

From the Archives: Miracles and Science, Part 5
By getting rid of the miracle stories in the Bible, Bultmann and his followers hoped to make the Christian story more palatable to modern man. Although I recognize the emotional weight of this sentiment, I am not convinced that it is an intellectually coherent approach, mainly for reasons of self-consistency.
N.T. Wright and the Resurrection: Reviewing "Surprised by Scripture" (Part 3)
Wright reminds us that robust Christian faith takes evidence on board, but fuses reason with faith, hope and love.
Still Surprised by Easter
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
Does Resurrection Contradict Science?
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
Searching for Motivated Belief: Understanding John Polkinghorne, Part 2
To understand more clearly where Polkinghorne lies on the larger landscape of science and religion, let's consider his approach to the Resurrection. Many contemporary thinkers, including some theologians and clergy, believe that "science" has somehow made it impossible to believe in the Resurrection, the deity of Jesus, and even belief in the transcendent God of the Bible.
Series: Science and the Bible (22 entries)
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
Creator of the Stars at Night
The God who created the cosmos is the God who came to us as a child in Bethlehem.
Series: Surprised by Jack: C.S. Lewis on Mere Christianity, the Bible, and Evolutionary Science (4 entries)
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
Surveying George Murphy's Theology of the Cross
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
Series: Behe, Lenski and the "Edge" of Evolution (5 entries)
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
Willing to be Wrong
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
Series: Decoding ENCODE (8 entries)
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Did David Hume "Banish" Miracles?
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
Series: Divine Action in the World (5 entries)
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.

Towards the end of the last school year, the Tennessee legislature passed the Teacher Protection Academic Freedom Act, a law that became more popularly known as the "Monkey Bill." I was doing research in a Tennessee high school biology classroom the morning that I learned that the bill had passed.
David Lack: Evolutionary Biologist and Devout Christian
Charles Darwin's personal struggles and ultimate rejection of Christianity are well documented, and people are eager to link his loss of faith to his evolutionary theory. David Lack, on the other hand, began his scientific career as an agnostic, but shortly after publishing his famous book on the evolution of "Darwin's finches", he converted to Christianity.
Series: Asa Gray and Charles Darwin Discuss Evolution and Design (5 entries)
Many Christians believe that they face a painful choice-- either life was designed by God or it is an evolutionary product of natural selection. Charles Darwin himself believed in this dichotomy, and people ever since have felt the need to "choose sides". However, looking back at history, we find that one of Darwin's chief scientific colleagues, Asa Gray, did not share this perspective. In this three-part essay, part 1 charts the relationship of Asa Gray and Charles Darwin. Part 2 describes Darwin's struggle with the problem of natural evil and design in nature, and part 3 explores how Asa Gray was able to embrace evolution without rejecting the idea of design.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
Series: Understanding Evolution: the Evolutionary Origins of Irreducible Complexity (6 entries)
One of the challenges for discussing evolution within evangelical Christian circles is that there is widespread confusion about how evolution actually works. In this installment, we examine evidence that proteins in irreducibly complex (IC) systems can form and refine new interactions through gradual mechanisms.

By partnering with Ironclad Performance Wear, 5.11 Tactical Scene One Gloves set new standards for dexterity, fit and durability and provide you with gloves you can depend on.
When operators said they wanted a hard knuckle glove, 5.11 answered the challenge and created 5.11 Tactical Hard Time Gloves. Starting with the excellent fit and performance of the Tac AK2, made with Kevlar fabric, 5.11 added their ergonomic articulated hard knuckle plates. Instead of a single piece covering all four knuckles, two plates flex with your hand, each covering two knuckles and improving your comfort, dexterity, and performance while protecting your knuckles from impact. Tough thermoplastic plates are padded on the hand side and covered with a durable subdued finish TPR laminate on the business side. 5.11 Tactical Hard Time Gloves gives you so much confidence, you will have to resist the temptation to punch the nearest wall when you put them on.

September 4 2015 Latest news:
Peter Walsh
Sunday, August 10, 2014
Motorists are being warned to take extra care, with reports of fallen trees and cable lines, as well as several cars becoming stuck in flooded roads.
Forecasters say the heaviest rain has mostly passed, but now there are strong winds on the way this evening.
The worst of the stormy weather reached the region late this morning, with another swathe of dark clouds and heavy rain passing over from around 3pm.
Torrential rain started to fall in Norwich at about 12.15pm and with wind and heavy rain in out in other parts of the county too it has meant a busy time for emergency services.
Norfolk police control room received a "number of calls about flooding" with places like Larling, Wymondham among those affected, while roads have also been blocked due to fallen cable lines and trees, including one which blocked the northbound A10 carriageway in Kings Lynn, half a mile from the Hardwick roundabout.
Two cars became stuck in flood water in the Wroxham area this afternoon, one in Belaugh Green Lane in Belaugh Green at 4pm, and another in Horning Road West, Hoveton shortly after 3.30pm. Police have closed the road underneath the railway bridge in Belaugh Road, Hoveton, due to flooding.
A police spokeswoman said: "Our advice is to only drive through pockets of water where you can see it's safe to drive through and we would urge caution."
Fire crews were also kept busy, dispatched to attend reports of flooding on Norwich's Prince of Wales Road, as well as Thorpe St Andrew, Emneth near Downham Market and Cromer.
The torrential lunchtime downpour resulted in problems for some businesses in Norwich, including Roccos and Lost on Prince of Wales Road.
Firefighters were called to Roccos at about 12.30pm after the downpour resulted in its basement being flooded, but the venue was able to remain open.
Due to the firefighters strike, which took place between noon and 2pm today, a retained crew were called to deal with the incident.
The crew commander, who did not want to be named, said: "Because of the heavy downpour the drains just couldn't cope with the amount of water that fell in a short period of time."
The commander said they pumped out between four and six inches of water from the basement of Roccos.
While they were dealing with that incident they were contacted by the owners of Lost on Prince of Wales Road who had a similar problem.
The commander said they got the call at about 1.15pm and discovered about six inches of water in the basement which was being pumped out.
The torrential rain brought by the remnants of ex-Hurricane Bertha resulted in flooding at garages in Hellesdon.
But people living in Waldemar Park, off Waldemar Road, said the floods came every single time it rained.
A 39-year-old man, who did not want to be named, had moved to the area in the past three or four months and still had items stored in cardboard boxes in the garage.
He said: "We've still got a lot of boxes and some of them have had the bottoms rotted out of them. One of the neighbours was saying its like this every time it rains."
Douglas Frost, 74, who has lived in the area for the past five years said: "It doesn't have to flood heavy. It just floods every time there's a little bit of rain."
A 36-year-old man, who did not want to be named, said: "Every time it rains its flooded. It's happened several times this year."
Dan Holley, a forecaster for UEA-based Weatherquest, said: "There are one or two showers still around but it's going to be mainly dry with a bit of sunshine.
"Now it's the turn for the wind to pick up a bit as we go through the evening.
"We could see gusts of 30 to 35mph inland and maybe about 40mph on the coast.
"All the trees are in full leaf so it could bring one or two branches down."
He said there had been the potential for a tornado today, and there had been reports of one in the Hull area, but it would need to be confirmed following investigations into the damage.
He said: "There has been some rotation going on in the clouds but it doesn't look like anything dropped down from it in our area."
Tomorrow and Tuesday are also expected to be windy, with the gusts dropping a bit from Wednesday when the weather is expected to be breezy, cooler with temperatures of around 20 to 21C and pockets of sunshine and showers.
The Met Office has issued a yellow 'be aware' warning for the East.
It states: "There is the potential for severe weather over much of the UK during Sunday as a complex depression tracks over the UK. There continues to be a great deal of uncertainty in the forecast but the public should be aware of the risk of flooding due to heavy rain as well as strong winds and large waves, particularly on the coasts of southern England and areas bordering the northern Irish Sea. Given the unseasonable nature of the weather this could be sufficient to disrupt transport and make outdoor activities dangerous.
"This remains a volatile situation, and this alert is likely to be updated as the event unfolds. The public are advised to keep up to date with the latest forecasts and alerts through the weekend."
Great Hockham was one of the first places affected by Bertha, with a tree coming down on the B1111, blocking the road.
Elsewhere, the fire brigade was called to North Pickenham, near Swaffham, where a tree had fallen on telephone wires.
Flash flooding is making driving very difficult in parts of north Norfolk with up to two inches of standing water on many roads, especially around the coast.
Norfolk police said they received a number of calls about flooding and urged drivers to take extra care if they must travel.
Flash floods has been a feature of the summer, with people across Norfolk affected as the drains and rivers have struggled to cope with the high levels of rainfall falling in a short space of time.
The latest warning comes as parts of west Norfolk and south Cambridgeshire continue to clean-up after heavy rain on Friday evening.
Friday night report here

So daisy roots seems as tho your always right how do you explain how my work place has now flooded twice in last 3weeks?! First time was 20minutes of full of water coming through the WHOLE village DOWNhill flooding us & many houses on it's path & once again today it happened again! And your comment about met office not getting things right is aload of bull because this weather WAS forcast & we knew it would rain & be windy! So for someone to say the met office never gets it right clearly hasn't has to endure a flooded property in recent weeks!!!

Flooding in Station Road Wymondham!!! OMG!!!!

Good old Daisy, as po-faced and verbose as usual!

No picture of Cromer Pier being flooded yet then?
Sunday, August 10, 2014
Its great to see there is some firefighters prepared to work through strike action to protect the public of Norfolk.WELL DONE BOYS
Sunday, August 10, 2014
Those photos of the railway bridge at Wymondham are the 'usual' ones, but notice how they appear to have been taken from different viewpoints .. one looking in one direction and the other looking the other way. You must admit that gives us a more balanced view of the situation .. we can better judge the depth of the water, I imagine, and then get stuck.
Sunday, August 10, 2014
The best weather site on the internet is the weather underground ( www. wunderground. com). I've looked at BBC and others and they never get Lowestoft right. This site, which uses their own models, seems to be able to predict down to the hour with a fair degree of accuracy. They had predicted Lowestoft as having moderate rains and wind from Bertha for days now.
Sunday, August 10, 2014
Ex hurricane Bertha didn't stop these lovely wymondham slimming world members joining in race for life today at ketts park, soooo proud of them
Sunday, August 10, 2014
Well said Parkreg, although I doubt your comment will stay up long. Archant are past masters at making a drama out of.... errr...nothing.
Sunday, August 10, 2014
Picking up on the headine - It's not a hurricance and it didn't just hit Norfolk. A good day to stay indoors if you ask me.
Sunday, August 10, 2014
Archant you are pathetic. The photo's are so old they are irrelevant to todays weather, Wymondham railway bridge always floods so that's not news and now you have added a Tornado into the mix just to make a story look good. Rubbish reporting you should be ashamed of yourselves you bunch of drama queens.
Sunday, August 10, 2014
Lumping together the thunderstorms we have been having which were brought by warm air masses from the south or local convectional storms in the heat, with the remnants of Hurricane Bertha is typical of current weather hysteria. I agree about the forecasts-none of them seem truly local and take into account the way rain tracks up river valleys or the Fens and leaves " islands" of lower rain fall. Nor the way it always seems to snow on Swaffham and Docking for instance. The observations sites for Met office web page are Mundesley and Marham, neither of which have weather representative of much of the county-the former being on the coast with coastal showers and fog and warmer temps in winter etc and the latter being an airfield on an open high area on the edge of the Fens is cold in winter and hot in summer. Michael Hunt used to deliver a good local forecast-now we have to pay to get an accurate one.
Sunday, August 10, 2014
Anybody who has lived along the N.Norfolk coast for a while knows that the BBC weather predictions for this area are rubbish. They constantly forecast rain that never gets here

PLANO, Tex. - Stalker Radar announced that CopTrax, its new-generation body-worn and in-car video solution for law enforcement is integrating Google Glass.
Google Glass (styled "GLΛSS") is a wearable computer with an optical head-mounted display that is being developed by Google in the Project Glass research and development project, with the mission of producing a mass-market ubiquitous computer. Google Glass displays information in a smartphone-like hands-free format, that can interact with the Internet via natural language voice commands.
"Google Glass is a natural companion for the CopTrax platform," CopTrax Product Manager, Bill Switzer said. "With Google Glass, CopTrax can seamlessly transition from in-car to out-car settings."
"We believe that the combination of Google's new wearable computer (styled "GLΛSS") paired CopTrax technology will enhance officer safety. It is a privilege and honor to introduce such disruptive technology in order to protect our first responders. The men and women of law enforcement sacrifice themselves for our safety everyday; so it is great to be able to find new ways to protect those who protect us," Switzer said.
CopTrax is in-car video and much more. Instead of a bulky DVR, CopTrax uses the patrol vehicle's laptop to record and stream video through cellular or wireless networks for storage in the Cloud or on a department's servers. Since CopTrax is primarily a software solution, agencies will no longer need to replace in-car video systems every time vehicles are upgraded. CopTrax provides the following functionality:
The CopTrax system embeds geographic positioning data into the video stream. Now, what the officer is seeing, hearing, and where they are seeing it is captured in real-time. CopTrax gives agencies greater situational awareness, better asset coordination, and more accurate event recreation.
The CopTrax System's Command and Control Center is accessible from any Internet connected computer - at the station, the Chief's office, even a computer located at a residence.
The Command and Control Center and Case Management System include the following features:
CopTrax is available through Stalker Radar's network of Regional Sales Managers located in territories around the U.S. For more information, visit the CopTrax web site, CopTrax.net.
Founded in 1977, Applied Concepts, Inc., introduced the first Stalker Radar to the law enforcement industry in 1989. Stalker Radar is the dominant Doppler radar system and continues to lead the industry in technology breakthroughs and product innovations.

Tim Krul returned to action on Saturday but his presence wasn't enough for the Magpies as Stoke won 1-0 at the Britannia.
Mark Hughes will be hoping that the international break will provide enough time for full-back Glenn Johnson to recover from injury with a trip to the Emirates in game week five.
An injury that was supposed to be "minor" when it happened in April has turned into September knee surgery and "months" of further recovery.
A training ground hamstring injury means that Crystal Palace midfielder Joe Ledley was not fit enough to start on Thursday as Wales take on Cyprus in a Euro 2016 qualifying game.
Summer signings Max Gradel and Tyrone Mings have been omitted from the Cherries' 25 man Premier League squad list after the pair suffered serious knee injuries last weekend. Charlie Daniels however - who was also injured during the draw with Leicester – has been included.
Christian Benteke is expected to miss Belgium's Euro qualifier against Bosnia on Thursday after going for a scan following complaints of tenderness in his thigh.
Bryan Oviedo has withdrawn from the Costa Rica squad for the upcoming friendly matches against Brazil and Uruguay.
Summer signing Max Gradel has been ruled out until 2016 after the AFC Bournemouth winger suffered a serious knee injury during Saturdays' draw against Leicester City.
Aaron Lennon has made his loan move to Everton from the second half of last season permanent as he moves to Goodison Park.
Nathan Dyer has seen the writing on the wall left by Andre Ayew and decided that his best course of action is a season-long loan to Leicester City.
Matt Jarvis will look to re-start a floundering career at Carrow Road where he will join a Norwich City attack that could use some help.
Victor Moses is headed out on loan for the third consecutive season with West Ham his destination this season.

Maybe we're overly sentimental, maybe we're closeted clothes hoarders, but we've collected quite a stock of old and used pieces over the years that we just can't toss. And, we can't deny that we feel feelings when wearing them, too. Like a well-worn leather jacket or pair of vintage Chanel flats, the band tee ranks pretty high when it comes to emotional value.
Because, nothing better embodies the memory of your first concert quite like a keepsake T-shirt purchased at one of those overpriced stands. This editor has got a threadbare Goo Goo Dolls top stashed away in her dresser as proof. Quitting them isn't even an option. And, we why should we? Tucked into a midi-skirt or styled casually with dark-rinse skinnies, they're just as versatile as our favorite denim — maybe even more so since we can wear them as pajamas, too. So, join us in this indulgence, and add a new fave just in time for festival season.

Interpretive Handbook
80288 :
Uroporphyrinogen III Synthase (Co-Synthase) (UPG III S), Erythrocytes
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
The porphyrias are a group of inherited disorders resulting from enzyme defects in the heme biosynthetic pathway. Congenital erythropoietic porphyria (CEP) is an extremely rare, autosomal recessive porphyria that typically presents in early infancy. Also known as Gunther disease, CEP results from a deficiency of uroporphyrinogen III (co-) synthase (URO III S). In most cases, the disorder is suggested during the first few days or weeks of life by pink, violet, or brown urinary staining of diapers. Clinical symptoms include hemolytic anemia, hepatosplenomegaly, skin photosensitivity, scarring and blistering, red or brown dental discoloration (erythrodontia), and hypertrichosis (excess body hair). Growth and cognitive developmental delays are commonly observed in individuals with CEP. A few cases of adult-onset CEP have been reported, typically associated with a myelodysplastic syndrome.
The workup of patients with a suspected porphyria is most effective when following a stepwise approach. See Porphyria (Cutaneous) Testing Algorithm in Special Instructions or contact Mayo Medical Laboratories to discuss testing strategies.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Diagnosis of congenital erythropoietic porphyria
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Abnormal results are reported with a detailed interpretation that may include an overview of the results and their significance, a correlation to available clinical information provided with the specimen, differential diagnosis, recommendations for additional testing when indicated and available, and a phone number to reach a laboratory director in case the referring physician has additional questions.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
This test is not useful for ruling out acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) a disorder caused by decreased uroporphyrinogen I synthase (also known as porphobilinogen deaminase). For AIP, order PBGD_ / Porphobilinogen Deaminase (PBGD), Whole Blood.
This test does not reliably distinguish between individuals who are carriers for congenital erythropoietic porphyria (CEP), and are at risk for having an affected child.
If possible, specimens from patients suspected of having CEP should be drawn prior to blood transfusions; uroporphyrinogen (UPG) III synthase activity in transfused erythrocytes can cause false-negative results.
Abstinence from alcohol for at least 24 hours is essential for accurate results. While the effects of alcohol on this enzyme have not yet been determined, alcohol is known to suppress or induce other enzymes in the heme biosynthetic pathway.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Hi, i am wondering if i can use "cutting oil" as a coolant for my bandsaw.
the product that i have is "tap magic pro tap" i ended up with this product because it was the only thing that i could find in less then a 20 litre pail.
my question is: is this product able to mix with water and if so at what ratio? and will it run through my coolant system on my saw?
the saw is a king canada 7" x 12"
thanks in advance.

cutting oil or coolant?
It will gum your saw up.
I went to my local machine shop and bought 1 gallon of coolant, then dilluted it.
Or call kalamazoobandsaws.com they sell there brand of coolant in 1 gallon portions. I have never tried it though.

yes my next idea was to go to the local machine shop. my dad works at a parts store so i figured they could get it at a good cost to me but it appears to be the wrong thing.
so just to be clear cutting fluid and coolant are completly different and if i was to dilute this "pro tap" it wouldent run in my saw?

cutting oil or coolant?
my understanding is you do not want an oil based cutting fluid in ur bandsaw. I have never tried it just been told when i bought my kalamazoo bandsaw.
If you mix water with tapmatic it will suspend and not mix its an oil. Try it in a cup of water.
You can get water soluble coolant here.
I have also heard but don't know for fact & have never tried it myself that you can use auto anti freeze mixed 50/50 with water. Whatever you use it should have rust inhibitors.MM250

ok thanks for the help guys. im going to send the tap magic back with my dad to the parts store and i have a friend that works at a machine shop. i talked to him and they use mobil brand "mobilcut 102" so i convinced him to sell me a gallon of it
and i dont think i would put Automotive antifreeze in it as a coolant... it may work as it does have rust inhibitors and lubricants and it would be the right viscosity but you get the stuff all over your hands and i know antifreeze is toxic. also if it burns it makes horrible fumes
Unless you are cutting a lot of metal or large pieces with long cutting times, why use a coolant at all? I have a 7x12 band saw and cut dry almost of the time. When I used coolant, it was such a mess as the coolant would follow the cutoff piece and drip all over the floor. If I have a piece that will take awhile to cut, I can hit it with a spray bottle of lube or coolantNick

i also noticed that this saw cuts pretty slow compared to some saws i have used in the past. i was hoping i could turn up the speed of it a little bit with the coolant and see if it would cut better.

Quick introduction, 28 years old, serving our great country with the ARMY for the last 6 years and the forseeable 14 . I've been a fin faithful since the original Oilers left Houston and haven't looked back. Ive lurked the site for a while now mooching off the energy for the upcoming season but figure I'd like to be a part of the conversation.
Hoping there's room for me and here's to an underdog season full of success. Cheers.

If I have a time series that exhibits mean reverting properties, does it necessarily mean that the time series is mean stationary?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Quantitative Finance Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for finance professionals and academics. It's 100% free, no registration required.
As pointed out by Brian, the question is vague because generally mean reversion requires a well defined mean. Nevertheless, there are processes which are not mean stationary (mean is not homogenous across observations) for which a concept of mean exists. Let $\mu_t = E(x_t)$. In general you can have $\mu_t \neq \mu_s$ (i.e. violate mean stationarity) but have a well defined long run mean, i.e. the limit
$$\frac1n \sum_{t=1}^n \mu_t \to \bar \mu$$
exists. In such a situation, you can define a concept of mean reversion to the long run mean that applies to non mean stationary processes.
