The limited remedy isn't a. Well then, i'll reveal the reason males exactly who night out transsexuals aren't gay. First of all, the idea needs to be acknowledged that man provides their very own preferences with regards to sexuality and also mental company. Numerous "straight" males aren't since immediately as the saying goes they're, nevertheless which doesn't necessarily get them to gay or perhaps bisexual.

Concussions are a Game-ChangerCenters for Children Clinic Cares for Athletes Experiencing Head Injuries
LOWELL, AR. (Oct. 1, 2012) - It can be hard to watch from the sidelines. But for children who have sustained concussions on the field, court or mat, that's the safest place to be for at least a few days after their injuries, according to Damon Lipinski, PhD, a neuropsychologist in the Sports Concussion Clinic at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS)/Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH) Centers for Children in Lowell.
Dr. Lipinski's clinic specializes in diagnosing concussions and helping young athletes fully recover from these injuries before they get back in the game. He says that 90 percent of kids diagnosed with concussions recover within 14 days and can resume play once fully healed.
Studies show that nearly 4 million concussions occur every year among kids who play sports and take part in other recreational activities. About 5 to 10 percent of athletes involved in contact sports experience a concussion during play.
"Most kids may need to sit out for a game or two - maybe a week of practice - and can return to play without difficulty," said Dr. Lipinski, an assistant professor of Pediatrics in the UAMS College of Medicine. "In those kids, recovery is pretty quick. But the only way to determine when a child is ready to return is not based on time, but resolution of their symptoms."
Some children do take longer to recover, especially if they experienced previous concussions. Treatment by a multidisciplinary clinic like the one at the Centers for Children is important for their long-term recovery as professionals focus on getting the child back to school and sports as quickly and safely as possible. At this clinic, families will benefit from a team that also includes a neurologist, neuropsychologist and social worker who follow athletes until they have fully recovered. The clinic accepts patients Monday through Friday at the UAMS/ACH Centers for Children at 519 Latham Drive in Lowell, AR 72745, and can be reached at (479) 750-0125.
Concussions can affect kids in many ways. These include physical, emotional, cognitive and sleep impairments. By visiting a program trained in diagnosing and treating concussion, families will receive careful evaluation of all possible symptoms, as well as guidance to address concerns. This might include, for example, working closely with the school to provide extra help or support while the child is recovering.
"When a child is concussed, their brain is stressed, and physical and mental activity can slow recovery," Dr. Lipinski said. "This is why it is important to limit physical activity, as well as activities that require a lot of thinking or concentration such as reading. Rest is critical for recovery."
The Sports Concussion Clinic uses a five-step concussion management model based on the best-practices plan developed by the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Sports Medicine Concussion Program. This treatment plan starts with ImPACT baseline testing and progresses to post-injury tests and additional neuropsychological and vestibular testing that determine when it is safe to return to school and athletics.
If a child has suffered a hard hit during a game and appears dazed, confused and clumsy, or experiences vomiting, loss of memory or loss of consciousness, families are encouraged to seek medical attention as quickly as possible. Bear in mind that concussions do not necessarily require direct impact to the head but can also result when the body has been jolted resulting in a rapid movement of the head.
Children with a concussion should never return to sports or recreational activities on the same day as the injury. Second Impact Syndrome, a rare but catastrophic event, can result when an athlete suffers a second concussive injury before fully recovering from the first that results in brain swelling that can lead to permanent brain injury and even death. The Centers for Disease Control provides several tip sheets that will be helpful to families, available at http://www.cdc.gov/concussion/HeadsUp/youth.html
Arkansas Children's Hospital is the only pediatric medical center in Arkansas and one of the largest in the United States serving children. The campus is celebrating 100 years of providing Care, Love and Hope in 2012. Over the past century, ACH has grown to span 29 city blocks and house 370 beds, a staff of approximately 500 physicians, 80 residents in pediatrics and pediatric specialties and more than 4,000 employees. The private, nonprofit healthcare facility boasts an internationally renowned reputation for medical breakthroughs and intensive treatments, unique surgical procedures and forward-thinking medical research - all dedicated to fulfilling our mission of enhancing, sustaining and restoring children's health and development. For more information, visit www.archildrens.org.
UAMS is the state's only comprehensive academic health center, with colleges of Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, Health Professions and Public Health; a graduate school; a hospital; a statewide network of regional centers; and seven institutes: the Winthrop P. Rockefeller Cancer Institute, the Jackson T. Stephens Spine & Neurosciences Institute, the Myeloma Institute for Research and Therapy, the Harvey & Bernice Jones Eye Institute, the Psychiatric Research Institute, the Donald W. Reynolds Institute on Aging and the Translational Research Institute. Named best Little Rock metropolitan area hospital by U.S. News & World Report, it is the only adult Level 1 trauma center in the state. UAMS has more than 2,800 students and 790 medical residents. It is the state's largest public employer with more than 10,000 employees, including about 1,000 physicians and other professionals who provide care to patients at UAMS, Arkansas Children's Hospital, the VA Medical Center and UAMS' Area Health Education Centers throughout the state.

Healthy Eating: Valuable Vitamins
In This Article:
Vitamin B12 works closely with folic acid to form red blood cells. It also helps maintain the nervous system and is essential for the normal functioning of all body cells. Vitamin B12 is necessary in assisting the body to use fat and some amino acids.
A deficiency of vitamin B12 can result in anemia, fatigue, nerve damage, smooth tongue, and very sensitive skin. It is important to know that a deficiency of this vitamin can be hidden, and even progress, if extra folic acid is taken to treat or prevent anemia.
ALERT! Since B12 is found mostly in animal products, strict vegetarians and infants are at risk of developing a B12 deficiency. Including fortified foods and/or dietary supplements daily can help prevent this.
The classic deficiency symptom of vitamin B12 is anemia. This vitamin cannot be absorbed without the help of a substance called the intrinsic factor. Because this intrinsic factor is made in the lining of the stomach, the elderly and people with gastrointestinal disorders may not absorb the vitamin B12 their body needs. There are also people who, for either medical or genetic reasons, are missing this intrinsic factor. This problem can usually be treated with B12 injections. When anemia is caused by a lack of the intrinsic factor, it is called pernicious anemia. When the anemia is caused by poor dietary intake, it is called macrocytic anemia. Because of the body's ability to store vitamin B12, and because of the small amount needed daily, a deficiency can take years to develop. There are no known toxic effects of taking large doses of vitamin B12, but neither is there any scientific evidence that extra vitamin B12 helps boost energy. Vitamin B12 has no established UL.
Foods rich in vitamin B12 include meat, fish, poultry, eggs, milk and other dairy foods, and fortified foods.
Folic Acid (Folacin or Folate)
Folic acid's main role is to maintain the cell's genetic code—DNA, the master plan for cell reproduction. It also works with vitamin B12 to form hemoglobin in red blood cells.
In recent years, folic acid has gained much attention for its role in reducing the risk for neural tube birth defects, such as spina bifida, in newborn babies. The embryo's neural tube is what becomes the spinal cord. It is vital that pregnant women or women of childbearing years consume enough folic acid through food and supplements, especially during the first trimester. Other deficiencies of folic acid include anemia, impaired growth, and abnormal digestive function. Taking too much folic acid through supplements can mask a vitamin B12 deficiency and could interfere with other medications. In the synthetic form—the form used to fortify foods and in supplements—folic acid has a UL of 1,000 mcg per day for adults over eighteen.
Fact: Most enriched-grain products now have to be fortified with folic acid, according to a new FDA regulation. This is to help ensure that women get enough folic acid to help prevent neural tube birth defects during pregnancy.
Foods rich in folic acid include some fruits, such as oranges, as well as leafy vegetables, legumes, liver, wheat germ, some fortified cereals, avocados, and enriched-grain products.
Biotin participates in the metabolism of the macronutrients for energy and helps your body produce energy in the cells. For people who eat a healthy, well-balanced diet, deficiency is not a problem. In the rare cases when deficiency does occur, symptoms include heart abnormalities, loss of appetite, fatigue, depression, and dry skin. Biotin has no known toxic effects and no established UL.
This vitamin is found in a wide variety of foods, such as eggs, liver, yeast breads, cereals, wheat germ, and oatmeal.
Pantothenic Acid
Like biotin, pantothenic acid also participates in the metabolism of the macronutrients for energy and helps your body produce energy in the cells. In addition, pantothenic acid functions in the production of some hormones and neurotransmitters in the brain.
Deficiency is rare in those who eat a healthy, well-balanced diet. When deficiency does occur, symptoms include nausea, fatigue, and difficulty sleeping. The only possible effects of consuming too much pantothenic acid are occasional diarrhea and water retention. Pantothenic acid has no established UL.
Foods rich in pantothenic acid include meat, poultry, fish, whole-grain cereals, legumes, yogurt, sweet potatoes, milk, and eggs.
Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid)
Vitamin C is often associated with warding off the common cold. There is no conclusive data that large doses of vitamin C prevent colds; they may reduce the severity or duration of symptoms, but there is no definitive evidence. Scientific evidence does not suggest taking large doses of vitamin C on a regular basis to boost immunity or to decrease risks for the common cold.
But vitamin C does have some very important functions. Vitamin C produces collagen, a connective tissue that holds muscles, bones, and other tissues together. It also helps form and repair red blood cells, bones, and other tissue; helps protect you from bruising by keeping capillary walls and blood vessels firm; helps keep your gums healthy; helps heal cuts and wounds; and helps keep your immune system strong and healthy. Vitamin C helps your body absorb iron from plant sources, which is not as easily absorbed as iron from animal foods. Vitamin C is one of the very powerful antioxidants. As an antioxidant, vitamin C attacks free radicals in the body's fluids.
Essential: Cigarette smokers need at least twice as much vitamin C as nonsmokers, that is, at least 100 milligrams per day.
Since vitamin C is so widely available in our foods, deficiency is rare. Possible deficiency symptoms include poor wound healing, higher susceptibility to infections, bleeding gums, hemorrhaging, and, in severe cases, scurvy. Scurvy is a disease characterized by bleeding and swollen gums, joint pain, muscle wasting, and bruising.
Because vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin, your body excretes the excess that may be consumed. Very large doses, though, could cause kidney stones, nausea, and diarrhea. The effects of taking large amounts over extended periods of time are not yet known. Vitamin C has a UL set at 2,000 mg per day for adults over eighteen.
Most fruits and vegetables are great sources of vitamin C. These include all citrus fruits, berries, melons, peppers, dark green leafy vegetables, potatoes (especially the skin), and tomatoes.

How can I remove the outline on the
CircleShape below?
CircleShape circle = new CircleShape();
This is what I'm using to draw:
batch.draw(textureRegion, position.x - 1, position.y - 1, 1f, 1f, 2, 2, 1, 1, angle);
I use this to set the body for a Box2d collision but I get a silly circle shape around my texture in
libGdx. My textured sprite (ball) has a circle over the top of it with a line running from center along the radius.
Any ideas on how to remove the overlying circle lines?

Welcome to The Tablescaper.
I am still enjoying Summer to it's fullest, but didn't want to miss the opportunity to join in the WhisperWood Cottage Talent Scouting Party.
So, I dug back into some of my Fall favorites. Click on any of the photos to see the complete post.
I love how Fall can have the softness of white pumpkins…
…and even blue pumpkins!
Or how about just mixing some blue into your Fall table?
Before it gets too chilly,…
…take it outside!
I love mixing up the mustards and paprikas of Fall.
And when you're done with your table…
…remember the other parts of your home that need that touch of Fall (the carpet balls made an appearance on my table and in my entryway).
Your Fall decorations can be as simple as…
…showcasing a gourd upon a candle stick or…
…placing a cloche upon some miniature wonders.
One of my favorite parts of Fall is entertaining.
The crisper days lend themselves to a Soup Party. Cups of all shapes and sizes are clustered around tureens filled with each guest's specialty.
Fall is the perfect time to bring your book club back together and share that summer reading. Interesting store bought offerings…
…make for an enjoyable evening for the hostess.
A bounty of sweets…
…are the perfect way to end an evening.
Little cups of pumpkin mousse allowed guests to have a taste of each offering.
And don't forget, Halloween is just around the corner!
Be sure to visit WhisperWood Cottage for lots of Fall inspiration!
I'm also joining Marty at Tabletop Tuesday.

I'm looking for a mod to D&D 4e which reintroduces spell-research in a balanced way. Are there any of them around, which have been play tested and seem to work without unbalancing things too far?
Sign up
- Anybody can ask a question
- Anybody can answer
- The best answers are voted up and rise to the top
There are no 'rules' the specifically address how a character would 'research' a new spell in 4e.
I would simply ask the player what they were trying to achieve, what type of power or ritual it would be. What affects it would have and the like.
Next I would do a search to see if there was a similar one already in the game. I would do this to help me gauge what level it should be, and if it is balanced. Use your best judgment here in maintaining the balance of the game.
Once I determined all this I would use a skill challenge in the form of a research quest for the character to try to create this new power or ritual. They may need components or advise or books, it would be up to you to establish how hard the SC is and what would be needed. The skill challenge could be a quick set of rolls to determine if there is success and how long it takes or you could run an adventure based around the whole thing.
In addition to @Acedrummer's beautiful answer, there are rituals. Rituals are basically all the spells from previous editions that required more than a standard attack action or round to cast, with a few new goodies added in. In almost all cases, the are more powerful than the regular "power" spells that your wizards can cast, even though they don't do damage for the most part, and in order to acquire them you can have ritual uses do research and other similar things that were options to get spells in the previous editions.
As a side note for rituals: if one does not exist that does what you need, it is far easier to create a ritual than a power/spell and for the most part whatever you create will not horribly unbalance the game.

A research problem on which I am currently working requires a construction in topological dynamics of the following type:
Let $T \colon X \to X$ be a continuous transformation of a compact metric space which contains at least two points, and let $(a_n)$ be an absolutely summable real sequence which is not the zero sequence. When can we guarantee that there exists a continuous function $f \colon X \to \mathbb{C}$ such that $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n f \circ T^n$ is not a constant function?
The above question would seem to amount to a question about the spectral behaviour of the composition operator $U_T \colon C(X) \to C(X)$ defined by $U_Tf(x):=f(T(x))$. It is easy to show that the eigenvalues of $U_T$ form a subgroup of the unit circle. If $U_T$ has an eigenvalue which is not a root of unity then the eigenvalues are dense in the unit circle, so given a fixed sequence $(a_n)$ an easy Fourier analysis argument allows us to choose an eigenfunction $f$ for which $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n f \circ T^n$ is not constant. On the other hand, in some cases where $U_T$ has a root of unity as an eigenvalue, there are sequences such that the series converges to a constant for all $f$: for example, if $X$ contains just two points then the sequence given by $a_1=a_2=1$ and $a_n=0$ for $n \geq 3$ has this property. The case of most interest, then, is that in which $U_T$ has no eigenvalues except $1$ and no eigenfunctions other than the constant function, which is referred to as topological weak mixing. Specifically, I ask:
Is topological weak mixing of $T$ sufficient to guarantee the existence of $f$ in the first question?
This suggests to me the following more general functional-analytic question, which (by considering the action of $U_T$ on the quotient of $C(X)$ modulo the subspace of constant functions) would be sufficient for a positive answer to the above:
Let $L$ be a bounded linear operator acting on an infinite-dimensional Banach space $B$, with the spectrum of $L$ being $\{1\}$ and the norm of $L$ being $1$. When does there exist $x \in B$ such that the sequence $\{L^nx \colon n \geq 0\}$ is $\omega$-linearly independent, i.e. for all nonzero absolutely summable sequences $(a_n)$, the sum $\sum_{n=1}^\infty a_n L^nx$ is nonzero?
Thanks in advance!

STEUBENVILLE - Eastern Gateway Community College is hosting two information sessions on shale gas training.
The event will provide information on entry-level jobs, the training programs offered at the college, program requirements and what is involved in the application process.
Sessions will be held at 1:30 p.m. and 6 p.m. Jan. 17 in the lecture halls on the Jefferson County Campus. The sessions are free and require no registration.
"The gas industry has clearly stated its preference for a local work force and is committed to hiring local employees as fast as workers can be identified and trained," said Trace Joltes, assistant director of work force outreach at Eastern Gateway.
"The biggest challenge to building a well-prepared local work force for the gas industry rests in recruitment and pre-employment training for this industry, especially because of its unique culture. Eastern Gateway will offer recruitment and pre-employment training in high-priority occupations, targeted by the ShaleNET grant, which include derrick operator, rotary drill operator, service unit operator, roustabout, welder/brazer and CDL. Successful graduates of these programs will possess the entry-level skills and aptitudes necessary for successful entrance into the industry."
Eastern Gateway has been working to develop relationships with local oil and gas companies to support the ShaleNET training efforts by making their work sites available to the trainees and committing to interview successful completers as their work force needs dictate, she said.
As a partner to the ShaleNET grant, the college applied for training funding to offer these initial classes for free or at discounted rates. The ShaleNET grant Marcellus ShaleNET, a comprehensive recruitment, training, placement and retention strategy for jobs in the Marcellus shale gas industry - was launched in 2011 with a $4.964 million community-based job training grant from the United States Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. Several community colleges are participating from Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Eastern Gateway is the only college from Ohio participating in this grant program.
Two training programs currently scheduled include:
The required safety course for those interested in preparing for jobs in the oil and gas industry will be offered in January. The PEC Premier Basic Orientation, which provides the student with SafeLand and SafeGulf certification upon completion of this course, is scheduled to be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Jan. 19 and from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Jan. 20. A second session is scheduled for 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Jan. 21. Eastern Gateway's work force development department is the only authorized PEC/Premier Safety Management provider of this training in Ohio.
The Commercial Drivers License program also starts this month. Big Rig Truck Driving School Inc., an Ohio- licensed CDL training provider, and Eastern Gateway have partnered to offer a Class A Basic Truck Driver Training program. The Class A Basic Truck Driving training prepares adults, 18 or older, for entry-level positions as tractor-trailer drivers. This is a 160-hour program. The first class begins Jan. 30.

6 Subtle Ways You're Getting Screwed at the Grocery Store
#3. Charging You for Added Water
Let's say you're on a health kick and you decide it's time to buy some fruits and vegetables. For the sake of this entry, let's say you're not a fan of fresh things and opt for the canned variety. Maybe you're stocking up your bomb/zombie apocalypse shelter -- who are we to judge? So you load your cart with canned peas, carrots and green beans, pay your cashier, head home and get started on the nastiest casserole of all time.
Throw some sardines up in that bitch. You know you want to.
What you probably didn't realize was that the 14 ounces of green beans in that can weren't actually 14 ounces of green beans, but probably nine ounces of beans and five ounces of water, and that the FDA lets manufacturers lump those numbers together into one. Which is a plus -- if you're in the market for green bean flavored water.
Oh, and if you're buying meat? Same thing. Only more disturbing.
Everything above has been dead for weeks.
The Ripoff:
When food manufacturers put their food in a can, they often put a little something else in there to protect it. Sometimes it's brine and sometimes it's syrup, but most of the time it's just plain old water. The tricky part is that when they label the can, they're only required to include the net quantity, which is the combined weight of the food and the water, rather than the drained weight of the food alone. A certain percentage of the net quantity is supposed to be the actual food, but until cans start coming in "clear," most consumers have no idea how much of their food is actually food until they get home.
But let's say you're wise to this canned trickery, and you go for fresh food instead. Good for you. But you're still not home free in the "paying for secret water" department. Especially if you eat something we here at Cracked like to call "meat."
*Contains less than 20 percent beef.*
There is a practice in food production known as plumping, which basically means injecting meat with saltwater. Food manufacturers say the water adds flavor and juiciness to the animal flesh, which may be true. But remember that unlike canned foods, which are usually sold at fixed prices, meat is sold by its weight. And when 15 percent of the chicken you paid for is actually saltwater, you are most definitely getting ripped off.
Replace the water with oil, fat and breading, and suddenly you've got a national treasure.
#2. Expiration Dates (But Not What You Think)
You just bought a whole heap of chicken and are currently siphoning off the water for a tasty drink. And because nothing goes better with chicken broth than cow juice, you grab some milk from the refrigerator. And that's when you notice that the milk is expired, according to the "use by" date on the jug. Even though the milk looks OK, smells OK, maybe even tastes OK, you throw it out. Because who wants to mess with curdled milk clods sloshing around in his stomach?
Pass that shit on to one of the kids. They'll drink anything.
The Ripoff:
Unless your senses tell you the milk has soured, it's probably just fine.
When we said "expiration dates," you probably thought we were going to warn you against grocery stores selling you expired food as fresh. And that does go on. But once we get it home, it's the opposite problem -- throwing away perfectly good food after we bought it, because an arbitrary date says it has "expired." This is a big reason why Americans throw away more than 96 billion pounds of food at different points across the supply chain -- a good part of which is perfectly fine.
Guess which part.
Clearly we're not telling you to eat spoiled meat, or spoiled anything. But in many cases the only thing that goes downhill after the date stamped on the package is taste and texture. So if it tastes fine, it is fine. Has your sour cream separated with that gross layer of liquid on top? Hey, try stirring that shit first.
What you should say when you see a "sell by" date is, "Says who?" Because unless you're buying yourself baby food, the federal government has nothing to do with that expiration date. Neither does any other regulatory body, which is why it's 100 percent legal for crafty grocers to re-label things as they please. And why the USDA actually advises us to use some freaking common sense when it comes to throwing out perfectly good grub rather than going by anything we see stamped on the label.
What most people don't know is that "use by" dates aren't so much an indication of when the food is officially toxic, just when it's starting to lose that not-so-fresh feeling. And stores know that if consumers knew exactly how long food lasted, they would simply stock up on it and not buy any more for months. Sell-by dates mean customers will fall into a pattern of buying goods, meaning the store is able to predict when customers will buy a certain product and adjust stock accordingly.
"You are cattle to us."
NOTE: This does NOT apply to medication -- expired medicine should go in the trash. But expired Fruity Pebbles? Hell, eat it and see what happens.
#1. Tricking You Into Pouring Laundry Detergent Down the Drain
Has this ever happened to you? You're about to put your granny's nighties in the washing machine, but as you measure out the laundry detergent, it spills over, drenching your hand, the machine and your granny's finest silk teddy in gel-like soap. Isn't that the worst?
With today's low textile prices, why wash clothing at all?
After a few dozen mishaps like that, you'll find yourself with nothing but a smidgen of detergent left, and since you have no plans for washing teeny-tiny baby socks, you throw the whole jug out. Congratulations, Mr. Belvedere. You just played right into the detergent manufacturers' hands.
The Ripoff:
Even though detergent companies provide a fill line for consumers to use as a guide as they measure out their soap, that line is practically invisible. For one thing, it's often on the interior of the cup itself, as if you'd be able to see it once you began pouring the liquid. And for another, the line is usually just a raised ridge that's the same color as the cup, so your depth perception has to be eagle-sharp for you to spot it.
And because we can't see that imperceptible line, we tend to overpour our detergent, because who doesn't want extra-clean clothes, right? And detergent makers know that, obviously.
But even if your favorite brand of detergent has a clearly marked measuring cup, there's an excellent chance you're still using way too much detergent to do the job. One appliance repairman even suggests that by using the detergent boxes' recommended doses, you're actually damaging your clothes and your washing machine with too much soap.
The smell and feel of freshly laundered towels is only slightly less addictive than crack.
He suggests that depending on the hardness of their water, most people could get away with using one-eighth to one-half of what the box label says to use. Otherwise, you're just gumming up the works and ruining your Girbauds.
Of course, now the big thing is 2X concentrated detergents, which cost twice as much as the old detergent but come with the claim that you need to use only half as much (it's good for the environment!). Hey, did you notice that the fill caps are the same size as before? There's a new, lower fill line waaaay down there telling you to only fill the cup a third of the way or so. Consumers tend to instead use the amount they've been using their whole lives, thus doubling your waste and the manufacturer's profit.
We're thinking that's not an accident.

Under the new deal, Linde's engineering division will supply four large air separation units (ASUs) for the production of gaseous oxygen. In addition, to treat the synthesis gas generated during this gasification process, Linde will deliver two RECTISOL acid gas removal units to Reliance.
The Linde Group has been awarded a major contract by
Reliance Industries to build several plants to generate and
purify gases in Jamnagar, India, officials said on
Part of the Reliance Group, India's largest private enterprise,
RIL specialises in the energy and petrochemicals industries.
"We are delighted to have this renewed opportunity to build
upon our long-standing relationship with Reliance," said Dr.
Aldo Belloni, an executive board member at Linde.
"Around twenty years ago, we delivered several large-scale
hydrogen plants for Jamnagar. Now we are committed to
contribute to the expansion of one of the world's key
refinery and petrochemical hubs with our air
separation and acid gas removal know-how."
Under the new deal, Linde's engineering division will supply
four large air separation units (ASUs) for the production of
gaseous oxygen. Reliance needs massive streams of oxygen for
its proposed petroleum coke and coal gasification facilities.
In addition, to treat the synthesis gas generated during this
gasification process, Linde will deliver two RECTISOL
acid gas removal units.
Linde will be supplying the license, process design, detail
engineering and procurement services for this project.
Linde will also build two additional ASUs to supply
high-purity oxygen to RIL's ethylene glycol facilities in Jamnagar.

As per RIL bussiness plan half of the purified syngas is used for power generation. This quantity of purified syngas expansion may be used refrigeration requirements of one RECTISOL unit. This comment is as per my experience in association with RECTISOL unit and accepted by the technology supplierAlternatively LINDE can think of one train of aMDEA system for syngas purification as it is relatively cost effective.

marked as duplicate by S. Carnahan♦ Mar 3 '11 at 11:43
This question has been asked before and already has an answer. If those answers do not fully address your question, please ask a new question.
It might be better to split the question into 2 cases and 2 steps.
Step 1: Which homology classes in $X$ can be represented by continuous maps of closed smooth manifolds (ie, which classes are $f_*[M]$ where $f\colon M\to X$ is a map from a closed manifold with fundamental class $[M]\in H_*(M)$)? This is the so-called 'Steenrod representability problem'.
Case 1: In the unoriented case (if you are asking about homology with mod $2$ coefficients) the answer is all of them. See Thom's paper "Quelques propriétés globales des variétés différentiables", or the book "Differentiable periodic maps" by Conner and Floyd.
Case 2: In the oriented case, we are asking which integral homology classes are represented by maps from closed orientable manifolds. The answer is not all of them, but positive multiples of all of them. More precise statements can be found in the papers of Thom ("Sur un problème de Steenrod" and "Quelques propriétés...") and their reviews.
Step 2: Now you have to ask which unoriented and oriented bordism classes contain immersions. To the best of my knowledge, this part is not completely known. But here is a reference to start looking:
Li, Gui Song "On immersions in bordism classes", Math. Ann. 291 (1991), no. 2, 373–382.
Note that in the introduction he quotes a result of Szűcs to the effect that, for any given oriented bordism class of sufficiently high codimension in a manifold, some positive multiple of it contains an immersion.
Update: Sorry to revive this old post, but I just wanted to shamelessly plug an article which arose directly from this question. In http://arxiv.org/abs/1111.0249 (to appear in Bulletin of the LMS) András Szűcs and myself show that in any codimension $k\ge 2$ there exists a closed smooth manifold $N^n$ and a mod $2$ homology class of dimension $n-k$ which cannot be realized by an immersion of a closed manifold. The proof employs explicit obstructions to realizability, involving Bocksteins and Steenrod squares (see Theorem 1.2).

Can anyone help me find a quality side-by-side stroller that is good for jogging or a casual stroll?
5 Answers answer
My only word of advice to you is, that strollers have to be test driven before you buy one. I am not picky and I usually carried my kids or we had an umbrella stroller but I took my best friend stroller shopping and after 8 hours and 6 baby stores, she still couldn't decide. There were too many variables for her:
ease of steering
smoothness of movement
and the list went on.
We have a Twinner Double Jogging Stroller by Baby Jogger. Pros are that it is a lot lighter than a conventional double, very stable. Cons are fixed front wheel/steering, does not break down/fold easily, storage not so hot. Works great for this extremely casual jogger, with two kids in it and a dog off to one side... Can get into the back of my SUV by pulling the front wheel.
We got this primarily because it was so much lighter than the regular strollers that we had been using - jogging was just a bonus. We used it around the neighborhood as well.
Are you stuck on side-by-side or is a two seater length wise ok ? It seems like it might be difficult to run down the sidewalk with a doublewide
Is it possible to program your kids to walk along with you at this age?
It would make stroller shopping easier. AKA no longer needed.
Here is a site that has quite a few to choose from;

As a game master, what strategy/strategies seem to work well for handling players that have spent more time reading through the rule books than you have? While it's helpful at times to have the players point out things you may miss that would ruin the gameplay, having a player that knows the books so well they know enemy stats and can meta-game tend to bring down your morale for running the game.
Sign up

The best advice I've heard comes from the D&D 3.5 DM guide. Basically, if the players taking fun away from the game, talk to the player out of game, and away from the other players. Just be polite and open. If the player is reasonable they will understand.
Start throwing custom-made content at them. Build your own setting, such that there's no possible way for said rules lawyer to already know the stats.
Enlist rules-lawyer as a helper to streamline combat, especially when it's the baddies turn, he could really help move things along.
Determine what kind of rules lawyer you have first.
There's the kind who will cite rules knowledge anytime any rule is not being followed to the letter with no bias. Consider deferring rules questions to this person to make them feel involved. If something is uncertain, rely on making a quick rule call and ask them to help you investigate the matter after the game session.
The other kind will only cite rule knowledge when it is to their advantage. There are many ways to deal with this kind of player but in my experience it is best to discuss the matter with them outside of the game, away from other players. Find out why they are so concerned with getting their way. If they are being disruptive to the group or flow of the game with their behavior, be sure to express that. In my experience this usually results in asking the difficult player to leave the game. Don't give them the chance to rant in front of the group if you can.
One of the holes in all the answers thus far is that they take an adversarial approach to rules lawyers. That will only antagonize him more, which will only exacerbate the problem and build up to a "dude, leave our group you jerk-face" moment. Defuse the hostility and you can go back to being friends again!
What makes a rules lawyer?
Simply put, if you and I agree to play american football, a touchdown is worth 7 points (or 6 plus the extra point kick that most sandlot football does not do). If I score a touchdown and you all of a sudden decide that it's only 3 or 4 points, then I am going to cry foul. I have played in RPGs where as the new guy, I try to do something to be told "that's not possible", yet an established player character does something so similar a few rounds later that I could not tell a difference. "Hey, you said I couldn't do a Spinning Death Attack, but George can do a Twirling Kill Attack!" A player in this situation will do one of two things; either they will leave your group/the rpg community because "those guys screwed me over"; or they will learn that rulebook and everything in it so when they want to do a Twirling Kill Attack/Spinning Death Attack, and the DM says "nope", they can say "Actually, yep. I use [feat], [skill], and [action]".
How to tame a rules lawyer
I'm pretty sure I am considered a rules lawyer, and if a rule is ambiguous, I'll use a CS response or side with the player if I am DMing. If something comes up, and the answer isn't obvious, and the players wishes to use something that breaks the game, we usually don't allow that. And send in a CS response after the session for verification.
As a player I hate incorrect DM rulings, it just ruins the fun of a game if you want to do this cool combo you thought of and put 90% of your feats into, and then the DM says that you can't do it. Then you just become a character that doesn't have feats, which is likely not very fun...
You want rules lawyers because, hey, they know the rules. Let them help you.
What you don't necessarily want is them to know the exact stats and abilities of the enemies they're fighting, unless they've learned them during protracted fights in-game.
The easiest solution is to re-skin or tweak monster stats. Give it a name that's not in any manual, borrow another monster's stats, and change up the weapon and description of the attacks. Now it's a monster they don't know anything about!
My way? I like to play games that don't have so many rules -- FUDGE, Fate, Swords and Wizardry, Labyrinth Lord, etc. If the GM is the final arbiter of play, through the use of "rulings" not rules, then the books don't come into play much and the likelihood you'll get angry at a rules lawyer diminishes.
There's that one rule in there somewhere..
Oh yeah, Rules are used and not used at the DM's discrection.
This extends to changing stats of monsters etc. Just change the names so it must be assumed the stats changed. A "Rat Swarm" changes to a "Hungry Rat Swarm", etc.
If you get a rules lawyer player who seems to enjoy arguing about the rules more than playing the game, start treating him like an actual lawyer.
Be the judge. Say, "You have sixty seconds to make your case and then I'll make a decision." Let him make his case but cut it off at a minute. Then make a decision. He can "appeal" it after the game, if he wants, but he has to accept it for the time being.
Do one of the following:
If they're just trying to be helpful, (i.e. "you are aware that, and maybe you're doing it on purpose but I just want to check" and it is getting annoying, ask them to stop it quietly outside of the game. They're trying to help, and so give them respect for that.
Now, if the person is disrupting the game regularly, holding you to the letter of the books, and complaining about every other ruling that is different from the book -even after you've asked them not to, or to bring up ruling disputes with you after the game- you can do one of two things. If you're feeling nice, just point out the golden rule. All rules are just suggestions and subject to the GMs whim as to when, where, and how they will be used.
Alternatively, and as suggested in both the DXM and Play Dirty (I think Robin's Laws too). Don't give them their character sheet next session. Tell them they must play their character from memory, and any time they miss a bonus or penalty, or misremember the tiniest detail of mechanics for their character they automatically fail the roll. Explain that you are doing this because they are expecting you to know every last word in over 200 pages of rule books, and so this is more than fair because all you are expecting them to do is remember one piece of paper. Then enforce it.
I played with a DM once that asked the guy to show him where in the rule book it was. When the rule-Lawyer brought the book out the DM took the book and threw it into one of the corners of the room.
The rules are there for a reason, that reason is not to take away from the fun of the game. Remember you are the DM you are allowed some leeway.
I personally think you have two choices:
1) either you accept the fact that the game you are going to administer is highly technical and rule-oriented, and you plan accordingly, or 2) you go against the will of the players and propose an adventure more oriented towards interpretation than fighting.
What to choose depends mostly on the kind of players you have. I know people who crave for action and metagaming so deeply that reject anything involving interpretation. Others instead accept the challenge and try a different gamestyle. In any case, I strongly suggest you not to force hands. Nothing kills the mood more than unsatisfied players. If they like lawyer-playing, let them do it.
If you have a single element playing the lawyer, then it depends if he is constructive or disruptive. A constructive lawyer can even spice up the game by providing an unusual twist. A destructive one will just point at mistakes and most likely offend the DM or other players. On this, solving this issue is a matter of diplomacy (real one).
In the old Hong Kong action rpg Feng Shui, there was a simple rule to cover these situations. Essentially it said that if a player took advantage of having read game material, then monsters and opponents would immediately get bonuses and special abilities against that player only.
It's a great rule, but I would recommend being careful with it, as while it fits with the free-wheeling spirit of Feng Shui, it is a bit of a harsh move and isn't appropriate in all games and groups.
The best thing to do is to have a word with the player. Be polite, and let them know that it's your game, and that as game master, at the table your authority is final. If something in the game doesn't match what he's memorised from a rulebook, then he can bring it up after the game, but during play, you are in charge.
If he can't handle this approach, then suggest that he might like to run a game himself.
One of the best parts of DnD 3.5 is the easy ability to add class levels to monsters. So I will frequently throw class levels onto monsters that wouldn't be expected so that there will be things that they can't anticipate everything and plan against it by use of meta-knowledge.
Dealing with rules lawyering not related to that circumstance can be a bit trickier. But personally I don't have a problem with someone pointing out where I'm incorrect in my knowledge or rememberance of a particular rule. If it's bogging down play, though, remember that the DM always has final say on interpretation. Or, at least they should. Just try to be fair about it when there is a dispute.
I had this problem many years ago and have NEVER had a problem with it in almost 20 years. I did one simple thing: I set my D&D campaign (although this could work with any RPG) in my OWN campaign world. Case closed.
This should really stop all rules lawyers arguments. The players are on YOUR territory now and you define the limits and definitions of your world's boundarys. Don't like a spell? It doesn't exist. Trolls immune to fire? They are in your world. Halflings who are paladins? Yes they are. Anytime a player tries to pull a "well, it says in the rulebook..." on you, simply and without malice explain that in the World of Stonerock, or Campaign Medoran, or the Great Underground World of Zeo, that is simply NOT the case and move on.
This isn't saying you don't have to be consistent (for instance, making mummies immune to fire one day, and immune to magic weapons the next). It simply means that the rules exist only as a GUIDELINE to play in your world, and you set the exact parameters. With this in hand, rules lawyering stops cold.
Communication is key though. If you don't explain this to your players right off the bat "Look, I know you are used to the ways things are in Eberron, but it works a lot differently here" then hard feelings can result. However if you explain the differences that the player's character would know (for example, a priest character would know that undead cannot be turned in your world without using holy water along with a holy symbol) then there should be no problems, and they should appreciate the fact you have given the campaign a new twist or two.
At heart, most rules lawyers are control freaks, if you take that control away from them and force them out of their comfort zone, sometimes they will really learn to actually enjoy the game instead of enjoying finding and exploiting the rules. BTW, remember not to confuse rules lawyering with an inventive, intelligent character who simply has unorthodox ideas. The latter can be a real godsend to the game because they keep you the DM on your toes and force YOU out of your comfort zone (and sometimes get the best work out of you!)
One item I stole from the XDM (eXtreme Dungeon Master) guide by Tracy Hickman was a possible solution when you have a player who always seems to know the exact rules and details of their character and seems offended that you aren't as well-informed. Ask to see their character sheet. Then keep it. Tell them that, as an experiment, they're going to play their character only based on what they remember about their character and that trying to claim abilities or HP totals other than what they have will be dealt with. Of course, almost nobody is able to do that, so it makes a point to them that you can only keep so much information in your head at a time, let alone when you have multiple players to keep track of.
It's a fairly extreme thing to do, and obviously not the tack to take if you spring a trap on someone and ask them to roll a Reflex save and they respectfully remind you that they have Danger Sense, so they should have had a skill check first. This is for the guy who can't keep the condescension out of their voice as they tell you that you forget about step 4a in the grappling rules.
Play without rules. Rules are (ok, can be - depending on style the team prefers) for the GM solely and nobody else should care about them.
But it's always about having fun. If he loves rules maybe it's time you offered Your team a boardgame meeting? It might turn out to be more fun for you.
And if You are an ambitious guy that wants to make up stories and rules You can get down to preparing one of the print-and-play boardgames and developing new tiles and extra rules / additional characters etc.
My usual answer to rules lawyering is to remind that player that the DM is basically like god in D&D and everyone knows that if you bother a god enough he'll make a rock fall on you doing 200d6 roll-a-new-character damage. That usually makes the character shut up about it for a while. If not the DM makes us do spot checks anytime we walk near a mountain and points out how a bunch of tank sized rocks seem ready to fall down at any moment on a path leading straight towards the rules lawyer's PC. It usually shuts the guy up for a session.

The Region of Waterloo is undergoing a major public works project that will place Light Rail Transit along the core of two of the major municipalities in the Region: Kitchener and Waterloo. This ambitious project is being sold as an important infrastructure project for the future of a rapidly growing and exciting place to live. I support the idea of it. I see the long term benefits and I think it will help build a better city.
Sadly, even after a decision was made the debate goes on. It will be a highlight of the upcoming municipal election which I fear could get some people elected based on the public's feeling on a particular issue that will be oversimplified and placed into sound bites. LRT is so much bigger than an election cycle or two.
I think there is complex set of reasons why this argument will not end but these are my three big ones:
- Population density and how/why people use their cars is a big risk that is being brushed over. The "field of dreams" argument (build it and they will come) can not be a suitable response! Explain it to people in how they get around now and how it will be better. If you can't there is a problem! Figure out how to manage the problem.
- If you oppose it or question it openly you are shouted down as being against "the future." When a young community leader spoke up at council they tried to discredit him instead of discussing his main point that people won't switch to transit from cars. What are they so worried about? Engage these people and their different views. Adapt! It will make it better.
- A very dynamic and flexible leadership group is needed to ensure the plan can adapt to future realities. One example, it might make more sense to place the GO train in Cambridge. The LRT doesn't get there and a transportation hub is planned for Kitchener — what if you can't likely have a 1 hour train on that line for 20 years but you can next year in Cambridge?
There needs to be less storytelling and more practicality in the discussions. Good leadership tells it like it is and deals with issues head on. This community needs to take on the issues like the crippled transportation infrastructure with Toronto and not sweep potential risks out of view with idealistic statements of what they hope will happen. Also, there needs to be a larger theme of a walkable city that isn't just about tech startups but involves the future of recreation, manufacturing jobs (because the discussion can't ignore the largest employment sector in the region), research, and retail. Make this future more inclusive.
Lets talk big. Talk positive. Include the young leaders and diverse economy into the discussion!
Otherwise, I fear, something that could be so positive for the Region, the Province, and the country might not become a reality.

A couple of people have changed their email addresses these past few months. Even though I updated my address book (adding the new email, deleting the old one), when I type their name it continues to pop up the old email address as well as the new one, and I have to choose which one I want. Both aren't in the contacts, the old one was deleted. Why is it still popping up and how do I get it to stop?
I'm using an iPad.

Marauding elk had been trampling gardens, grazing on lawns and causing car crashes on the twisting country road that winds its way through Stoney Fork.
No more.
Folks here got fed up and, with the approval of wildlife officials, started shooting the cow-sized animals that have multiplied by the thousands throughout Kentucky's mountain region over the past 15 years.
Now wildlife officials will review the initiative to determine whether to continue a special hunting season set up especially for Stoney Fork area property owners. Residents don't want the initiative to end, for fear that the elk will move back into their neighborhoods.
No elk have been struck by vehicles in the area in recent months, which local residents see as proof that shooting them has made the community safer.

An abrupt turn of the steering wheel maneuvered the Jeep off the narrow rutted road. The driver jumped out, grabbed his machete, ran to the nearby trees and hacked down a few mangos. The man sliced through golden skin, revealing fiery orange flesh, so juicy it oozed down his sinewy arms. "Fruit of the island," he said, offering the pieces to his passengers.

Top 10 College Dorm Supplies
Sending your teen off to college can be a stressful and scary time. You want to make sure he or she is properly prepared and has all the essentials for living away from home. Here are some of the top necessities every new or returning college student shouldn't be without!
1 of 12
Computer and TV
A computer and a television should be no-brainers for any college student. A TV/DVD combination will provide hours of entertainment during downtime, but some students these days are skipping TVs and instead streaming TV shows and movies on their computer. A laptop or desktop computer is a must when it's time to grind out papers and projects. Research the best computer for your teen's intended major — a graphic design student may need a different computer than an English literature major. Some dealers offer a free printer with a new computer, which will save your child last-minute runs to the school library printer.

VirtualBox for WebLogic 12c, Coherence 3.7.1, NetBeans 7.1, OEPE 12c and more
By pieter.humphrey on Jan 19, 2012
This blog describes how to install a virtual guest appliance that provides pre-configured Oracle software for our Cloud Application Foundation and more. You can use it as a development sandbox, or as a educational tool -- it contains several hands on lab excercises from the OTN Virtual Developer Day - WebLogic 12c.
- Oracle Linux 5, JDK 1.6 +
- Oracle WebLogic Server 12.1.1
- Oracle Coherence 3.7
- Oracle TopLink 12.1.1
- Hudson 2.2
- Subversion 1.4.2
- Apache Maven 3.0.1
- NetBeans IDE 7.1 RC2
- Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse 12.1.1 / Eclipse 3.7
- Easter Egg: Introductory Labs for Oracle Coherence 3.7
Oracle VM VirtualBox images will be based on Oracle Linux – and this image requires 13GB of disk, (17GB if you keep the source appliance). The one, downloadable appliance, about 4.3 GB, contains all the software you need for the following labs:
Total Oracle WebLogic Server Development with Eclipse, Maven, and Hudson
In this hands-on lab for professional Eclipse Java developers, Oracle product experts discuss the rich set of plug-ins and tooling available in the latest version of Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse to simplify and speed up enterprise Java development with Oracle WebLogic Server 12c. The lab shows you how to configure and use powerful Maven plug-ins from Oracle to develop, build, and deploy with Maven and Hudson for continuous build integration.
Hands on with an end-to-end Java EE6 Application
This hands-on lab builds a typical 3-tier Java EE 6 Web application that retrieves customer information from a database and displays it in a Web page. The application also allows new customers to be added to the database as well. The string-based and type-safe queries are used to query and add rows to the database. Each row in the database table is published as a RESTful resource and is then accessed programmatically. typical design patterns required by a Web application like validation, caching, observer, partial page rendering, and cross-cutting concerns like logging are explained and implemented using different Java EE 6 technologies The development, deployment, and debugging of the application will be performed using NetBeans on WebLogic Server 12c.
Bonus Content:
A Step-By-Step Guide to Oracle Coherence
Develop a simple Java console-based application to access, update and removing simple types of information from a Coherence clustered cache. Then create a simple domain object that can be placed into a Coherence Cache.
Running the Coherence Examples Project in Eclipse
This lab will teach you to setup and work with Coherence projects in Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse, using the coherence examples project as an example. You will learn how to use the Eclipse plug-in create and configure projects, define coherence cache servers, run cache servers, and use overrides and understand security basics. The lab will then walk you coherence specifics from their basic feature examples: data access/loading, the query language, parallel querying, cache event monitoring, operations on cached data. There is also bonus content with take-home exercises on security.
*New 2/3/2012! -- LAB: JPA 2.0 and Object Relational Mapping Basics
This lab will guide you through using Oracle Enterprise Pack for Eclipse (OEPE) 12c and JPA 2.0/ORM. You will create the data model for a Trouble Ticket Tracking System -- a web-based application that manages and maintains lists of tickets submitted for the products of an organization. You will learn to Generate JPA entities from an existing database Schema, generate Entities from Java Classes, define custom associations, use the entity editor, understand persistence.xml configuration and tools, create and implement DAO classes, and finally run some JUNIT tests to ensure they are working correctly.
Please note that this appliance is for testing purposes only, as such it is unsupported and should not to be used in production environment.
- Operating System: Any supported by VirtualBox
- Disk: About 11.6 GB free (+3.8GB for appliance, which can be deleted after import, 7.8 GB for uncompressed image)
- Required Software: Oracle VM VirtualBox 4.1.8 + (but should work fine on 4.1.x)
Step 1. Download and install Oracle VM VirtualBox on your host system.
Step 2. Right-click and use your browser's Save As... to download the files (OTN Login required):
URLs and MD5s for file parts - split into ~700MB chunks for your download convenience:
MD5 of assembled file:
VDD_WLS_labs_2012.ova = c50bfdabdafc7e1f7ebf85422663655f
Step 3. Use your Terminal, command prompt, or shell to assemble these files using the provided scripts. We highly recommend checking MD5 sums on all parts, and on the assembled files before attempting an import.
* For Windows use the script assemble.cmd
* For Linux/Unix use the script assemble.sh
Step 4. Launch VirtualBox and import your VM: File > Import Appliance to launch Appliance Import Wizard. Click Choose... to browse to the directory you re-assembled all the files in and select the VDD_WLS_labs_2012.ova then click Next> to begin importing the virtual machine. It will prompt you to agree to the appropriate developer licenses while importing. You will see 'VDD_WLS_labs_2012' (Powered Off)' when it is finished importing.
Step 5. Test your VM: Once the import has completed, double-click the OTN Developer Days VM. Click OK to close the VirtualBox dialogs. When you get to the Linux 5 screen you can now login. The username and password is oracle/welcome1. Allow the import process to complete; it is ready when you see a terminal window, which you can close. Once you are finished working in the guest VM you can shut it down via System > Shut Down; this will return the guest VM to the Powered Off state.
Review the default memory setting and optimize it for your machine. To do this, right-click your imported VBOX image and choose Settings > System as shown below. Then change the memory setting to be "in the green". This will obviously vary on your system, the Windows machine shown in the screen shot has 8GB RAM.
Step 5. Test your VM: Once the import has completed, double-click the VM to begin. Lab documents and resources are located in folders on the desktop.
Once you are finished working in the guest VM you can shut it down via System > Shut Down; this will return the guest VM to the Powered Off state.
