Decline of Unions
What happened to American labor unions? Last week came news that the share of America's workforce that's unionized hit a 97-year low. A mere 11.3% of workers now belong to a union, and a great chunk of those are in the shrinking public sector. In the private sector, unionization fell to an abysmal 6.6%, down from a peak of 35% during the 1950s.

Top Definition
Word spun by people from Nepal to describe the maximum of anything. The word is combined from the English word "Last" and Nepali expression of craziness, "aiii". It is still unknown of a person to first spin the word, but is believed to be first spoken by a comedy person. It can be used to denote any kind of expression, ranging from hotness of a girl to level of drunkenness or the amount of food or the quality of food taken. It is helpful for people who are bored and dont want to pronounce any real words which might lead to more boredom. The most interersting part of this word is that, it can denote the first or excellency or Last. It still remains as probably the most used word in Nepali language. While saying the word, a speaker is supposed to say the word Lastai and act like he just saw an alien with a twist of someone "pachaki hanning" from behind. This is mostly used by guys. for eg. Lastaiiiiiiiiiiii
That girl from last night bitched out, so I texted her saying " You are lastai joker".
You make me laugh, You are lastai comedy.
Girl, you got lastai nice body, can I be your firstai?

One of my favourite parks. Really beautiful and peaceful, hoever, the mansion wa a let down. Redbridge seem to have invested a lot of money on publicity for Valentine's mansion, my only wish is that it lived up to the hype. Sadly for the most of the last century this building was converted to council offices - and it shows. You basically go from one empty room to another with sparse exhibits in each and no joined up thinking. In one bedroom (contains a bed and writing desk) there is a photo showing what the pencil marks the builder made - why not preserve it and cover with perspex? They have clear plastic chairs everywhere - why not have period pieces? There is currently a Belgian refugee exhibition in one room which has a lot of potential. It would have been great if this room didn't look like an office with a temporary hoarding with a piece of broken achitrave on one side. If only every room was like the kitchen area which has been perfectly preserved/recreated. Very sad and needs investment and exhibits. 4 stars for the park and 2 stars for the museum.

The American Soldier Collection 3: Amazing Grace (Siren Publishing Menage Everlasting)by Dixie Lynn Dwyer
[Siren Menage Everlasting: Erotic Menage a Quatre Romance, M/F/M/M, HEA] Two years have passed since Grace Thompson left her home and her family in Houston. One of her three brothers, Peter, convinces her to return home for her cousin Jamie's wedding. Reluctantly she gives in. Things seems wonderful and everyone is happy to see her. A few days after her arrival, news spreads that a serial killer is on the loose and government officials believe it is the same individual who killed Clara, Grace's sister, years ago. Grace is thrust into the arms of a special investigator, an ex-marine who is hired out by law enforcement and the government to solve difficult crimes and hunt down the killer. Sandman Sandstone and his two brothers, Big Jay and Duke, are ex-military and involved in law enforcement and investigation in some way. When they help keep Grace in protective custody, she manages to snag their hearts, which they thought were cold and dead. As they work on exploring a menage relationship with her, she becomes the high target of the killer that even Sandman and his team can not capture. Will the killer get to Grace, or perhaps force her to come to him as he begins to go after her loved ones, luring her into his trap? Note: There is no sexual relationship or touching for titillation between or among siblings. ** A Siren Erotic Romance

Awesome Series. Just can't get enough of this author. The characters are so well planned out and believable. What a concept? I can't say enough good things about this book, this author and this series. You will not be disappointed.
A good game of cat and mouse. The killer lays in wait until the one he wants returns. Love the suspense!
This book is amazingly good,,it will keep you guessing until the very end. The heroine of the story returns home to attend her best friends wedding. She'd moved to Europe after a family tragedy. But, soon after her returns she has to deal with intimidation, threats and murder. With her life in danger, she's place in protected custody. And her (3) bodyguards are drop dead gorgeous (are they ever not gorgeous). Meanwhile, the killer is looking for her. Will her men be able to protect her? Will the killer find her? And the biggest question of them all - who is the killer??? With everyone's individual jobs and commitments will they be able to find a way to live happily ever after? If you are a fan of Linda Howard or Julie Garwood this book is a must read. The story will stand toe to toe with either of these authors. GET THIS BOOK - I GUARANTEE YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED ..IT IS FIRST RATE.
Dixie does it again. I will not write a synopsis of the book, just read it for yourself. I really truly enjoyed this book. Well worth the money spent.
Each book has been 5 stars. I've liked each better then the last. Great murder mystery.
can't wait for the next one

One of the notable characteristics of partially or totally fluorinated polymers is their relative low susceptibility to burning and the low level of smoke generated in such situations as compared with other polymers. This characteristic has been utilized in the wire and cable industry, among others, and more specifically in plenum cable constructions and fiber optic cable applications.
Polyvinylidene fluoride homopolymers as well as co-and terpolymers of vinylidene fluoride (PVDF) with other fluorinated monomers such as hexafluoropropylene and tetrafluoroethylene are being used in such applications. Examples of such materials are the various PVDF grades supplied by Pennwalt for these uses under the trademark KYNAR. Other polyfluorinated resins for such applications include fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) resin and ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer resin (ECTFE).
Fluoropolymers have LOI (Limiting Oxygen Index) values ranging from the 40's to 90's, as determined by ASTM D-2863. The higher index numbers are achieved by the least flammable polymers. Polyvinylidene fluoride based resins have LOI values in the lower end of that range. In fluoropolymer cable constructions, where both the primary insulation or protective layer and jacket material are composed of fluoropolymer, smoke density and flame spread have generally not been a problem. Such cables are described for example in U.S. Pat. No. 4,401,845. However, is some cable applications and especially in hybrid cable constructions using non-fluoropolymer primary insulation on wires or fiber optic strands in combination with the fluoropolymer jacket encasements, smoke density and/or flame spread problems may occur. Therefore, reducing the smoke density and flame spread properties of the fluorinated polymers and especially PVDF based polymers without significant change in processing properties or in physical properties is a desirable goal. The cable constructions would then exhibit a greater tolerance to the inclusion of non-fluorinated components.
The use of siliceous materials has been reported in patents and other open literature for flame retardation and smoke suppression in various applications such as in polymer foam, fabrics, and building products. Examples of smoke and flame retardation in wire and cable applications include U.S. Pat. No. 4,456,654 disclosing the use of calcium silicate, magnesium silicate and hydrated alumina fillers with an elastomer. U.S. Pat. No. 4,225,649 discloses an aqueous emulsion composition which contains several ingredients including clay. U.S. Pat. No. 4,327,001 discloses cross linked polyolefin jacketing relying mainly on magnesium silicate and alumina hydrate for low smoke characteristics. The addition of molybdates to PVDF has been disclosed for flame and smoke suppression in French Patent Application 2,534,264, but molybdates are relatively expensive.
According to U.S. Pat. No. 3,510,429 a layer of vinylidene polymer containing 2 to 70% by weight of a nonflammable, energy reflective light colored pigment, protects personnel and articles from short term intense thermal radiation such as from an atomic explosion. Among the examples of suitable reflective pigments is aluminum silicate. Dense white smoke evolution is said to occur and aid in the dissipation and attenuation of the intense thermal energy.
I have now found that certain aluminum silicates impart excellent flame and smoke retardant properties to fluorocarbon polymers, which properties are unexpectedly superior when compared to those provided by the use of other siliceous materials.
In accordance with this invention there is provided a low smoke and flame retardant cable construction comprising a bundle of electrical conductors or fiber optic strands encased in a polymer jacket which comprises a fluorinated polymer composition having dispersed therein from about 0.2 to about 5.0 percent by weight of said composition of calcined or hydrated aluminum silicate.
Also provided is a low smoke and flame retardant compositon comprising a vinylidene fluoride polymer having dispersed therein from about 0.2 to about 1.2 percent by weight of said composition of calcined or hydrated aluminum silicate.
FIG. 1 is an elevational side view, with parts broken away, of an embodiment of a cable construction of the invention.
The electrical cable embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIG. 1 generally comprises a plurality of individual electrical conductors 13 of, for example, copper or aluminum which each have a layer 15 of polymer so that they are electrically insulated from one another. These wires are twisted into a bundle 17 and the bundle 17 is held together to form core 18 by sheath 19. Sheath 19 can be a polymer film such as Mylar� polyester film tape, a resin impregnated tape material such as E-glass cloth impregnated with polytetrafluroethylene (Fluoroglass), or other conventional wire wrapping materials. The insulating layer 15 can be of materials which are conventionally used for primary wire insulation such as silicon rubber, or polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, chlorinated polyethylene, polyamides and fluoropolymers. Jacket 21 can be formed by extrusion using a cross head from a fluorinated polymer, preferably polyvinylidene fluoride, containing hydrous or calcined aluminum silicate.
In a fiber optic embodiment the wires could be replaced by glass optical fiber strands. A typical construction is to wrap a ground of six glass fiber optic strands around another glass strand or a coated steel wire or core, protect the group with a plastic coating and then make a cylindrical cable by combining a number of such groups and surrounding the combined groups of fibers with the fluoropolymer jacket 21.
"Fluorinated polymers" as used herein include, for example, vinylidene fluoride polymers, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), fluorinated ethylene-propylene polymers, ethylene-chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymers, perfluoroalkoxy polymers (PFA), and ethylene-tetrafluoroethylene copolymers.
The term "vinylidene fluoride polymer" includes normally solid, high molecular weight homopolymers and copolymers within its meaning. Such copolymers include those containing at least 50 mole percent of vinylidene fluoride copolymerized with at least one comonomer selected from the group consisting of tetrafluoroethylene, trifluoroethylene, chlorotrifluoroethylene, hexafluoropropene, vinyl fluoride, pentafluoropropene, and any other monomer that would readily copolymerize with vinylidene fluoride. Particularly preferred are copolymers composed of from at least about 70 and up to 99 mole percent vinylidene fluoride, and correspondingly from 1 to 30 percent tetrafluoroethylene; about 70 to 99 percent vinylidene fluoride and 1 to 30 percent hexafluoropropene; and about 70 to 99 mole percent vinylidene fluoride and 1 to 30 mole percent trifluoroethylene.
The cable jacket 21 is formed from compositions of fluorinated polymers having dispersed therein an amount (generally from about 0.2 to about 5.0 percent by weight of composition) of calcined or hydrated aluminum silicate (Al2 O3.2SiO2.nH2 O where n=0 to 2) which is effective to improve the smoke and flame retardant properties of the composition.
Aluminum silicates for use in the invention should be relatively pure (preferably about 95 weight percent aluminum silicate. Those materials derived from kaolin clay and marketed as pigments and extenders, for example, by Englehard under the trademark Santinone� and by Burgess Pigment Company are suitable.
Up to about 5 percent by weight of composition of other additives can also be used in the compositions such as color reducers (ZnO), U.V. stabilizers, antioxidants, lubricants (graphite), plasticzers, surface modifiers, coloring agents (dyes or pigments), fillers, reinforcements (glass, carbon, mineral and synthetic fibers) and other fire retardants. The preferred compositions for use in the cables of the invention comprise a blend of about 93.8 to 99.75 percent by weight vinylidene fluoride polymer, about 0.2 to about 1.2 percent by weight calcined or hydrous aluminum silicate and a combined amount of up to about 5.0 (preferably 0.05 to 5.0) percent by weight zinc oxide and/or polytetrafluoroethylene. Including PTFE improves the surface gloss on the cable jackets. Because the aluminum silicate lowers the impact strength of the vinylidene fluoride polymer, where it is necessary to maintain the impact strength of the polymer at or above about 6 ft lbs./in, the amount of aluminum silicate must be kept to about 1.2% by weight or less.
To further enhance the low smoke and flame spread properties of the cables, the primary insulating layers 15 can also be formed of the fluorinated polymer-aluminum silicate compositions.
The additives can be blended with the fluorinated polymers using conventional polymer milling and mixing equipment so as to provide a good dispersion of the additives in the base polymer. A Brabender Plasticorder mixer was used in the following examples to prepare samples of the compositions from a powder/powder blend of additive(s) and base polymer for smoke and flame testing.
The invention is further illustrated by the following examples which demonstrate the enhanced low smoke and flame spread properties both of the aluminum silicate containing compositions and the cable structures prepared therefrom.
Compositions were prepared by making a powder blend of vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (88/12 by weight) with 2.5 percent by weight of composition of either hydrous (Al2 O3.2SiO2.2H2 O) or calcined aluminum silicate (n=o) by low-intensive blending, mixing the blends in a Brabender mixer for 5 minutes at a temperature of 225� C. and an agitator speed of 50 r.p.m. After mixing, approximately 0.05 inch thick plaques were made by compression molding at about 1000 psi for 3 minutes at 230� C. and quenched by inclusion between room temperature metal plates. One inch square samples for burn testing according to ASTM D2843 to determine the Smoke Index were cut from the plaques. The standard ASTM D2843 procedure was modified in that the chamber used had no exit sign, the sample and a natural gas flame were placed off center toward the light source side of the chamber and there was no temperature compensation for the electric eye. Five 1�1�0.05 inch squares were stacked in order to provide the standard 1�1�0.25 inch sample size.
The meaurements were made by measuring the lowest transmission of light through the chamber as a percentage of the initial smokeless chamber transmission. These numbers were converted to an optical density by the following formula: Optical density=log (100/transmission). The Calculated Optical Density is the "Smoke Index". The results of the Smoke Index Determination on the samples, compared with a control sample of copolymer alone, are given in Table 1.
The limiting oxygen index (LOI), which is a measure of the amount of oxygen needed to support combustion of the compositions, was determined according to ASTM D2863 except that 0.06 inch thick samples were molded and used instead of the standard 0.125 inch thick samples. The results of the LOI determinations along with the pure copolymer control are given in Table 1.
According to the results reported in Table 1 the compositions which contain aluminum silicate provide an order of magnitude decrease in the Smoke Index compared to the control and an approximate doubling of the LOI.
TABLE 1______________________________________Vinylidene Fluoride - HexafluoropropyleneCopolymer (88/12)Example Wt % Aluminum Silicate Smoke Index LOI______________________________________Control 0 .77 371 2.5 (hydrous) .06 782 2.5 (calcined) .06 82______________________________________
A number of siliceous materials were tested at 2.5 weight percent level including fumed silica, amorphous silica, calcium silicate, calcium metasilicate, barium silicate, mica and talc. The Smoke Index results ranged from 0.92 for barium silicate to 0.52 for mica compared with 0.77 for the control. The aluminum silicate additives used in the invention, therefore, provide an unexpectedly superior result compared to other siliceous materials. The aluminum silicates have the advantage over materials such as molybdates of being inexpensive and readily available. The excellent low smoke and flame spread properties make the compositions especially useful in electrical wire and cable insulation and jacketing for plenum wire installations.
Samples for Smoke Index determination were prepared according to the process described in Examples 1 and 2 except that a vinylidene fluoride homopolymer containing 1 wt percent polytetrafluoroethylene to improve surface gloss was used. The Smoke Index of the polymer composition was improved by an order of magnitude using the aluminum silicate additives as shown by the results in Table 2.

Samples for Smoke Index determination were prepared from a vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer (88/12) containing varying amounts of either hydrous or calcined aluminum silicate (from 0.33 to 2.00 weight percent) and from 0.33 to 2.0 percent zinc oxide which was added to give improved color. The zinc oxide by itself produces a nominal improvement to the Smoke Index.

The results in Table 3 again demonstrate the significant reduction in the Smoke Index which is achieved by the presence of aluminum silicate in the compositions.
Samples were prepared according to the process described in Examples 1 and 2. As additives in the (88/12) vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene copolymer were included, in addition to aluminum silicate, an alkyl aryl phosphate flame retardant plasticizer (Santiciser� 141 Monsanto) (Example 25) antimony oxide (Examples 26 and 27) and calcium carbonate (Examples 28 and 29). The Smoke Index results are given in Table 4.

A telephone cable construction containing 100 pairs of conductors was manufactured by the following steps:
1. Copper wire of 24 AWG was coated by pressure extrusion with a 8 mil thick layer of a vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoroprepylene copolymer (88/12 by weight) containing 0.9 percent by weight of calcined aluminum silicate.
2. Two insulated wires made by Step 1 were twisted together to form a pair of conductors and 100 pairs of such conductors were then twisted together to form a bundle having a total of 200 conductors.
3. The bundle formed in Step 2 was then wrapped with a glass tape (E-glass cloth impregnated with polytetrafluoroethylene resin 0.025 inch thick and 11/2 inches wide).
4. The core formed in Step 3 was jacketed by tubing extrusion with a 40 mil thick layer of the same copolymer and aluminum silicate composition used for the primary wire insulation in Step 1.
A telephone cable construction containing 100 pairs of conductors was formed as in Example 30 except that the primary insulation in Step 1 was formed of polyvinylidene fluoride homopolymer without any aluminum silicate. The cable jacket was formed as in Example 30 from a vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoroethylene copolymer (88/12 by weight) containing 0.9 percent by weight of calcined aluminum silicate.
Two samples each of the cables prepared in Examples 30 and 31 were tested by a modified Steiner Tunnel test UL 910 (ASTM E84). The Steiner Tunnel test was modified to adapt the UL 910 test procedure to adequately test cables. The standard flame and draft conditions were used (240 fpm in the direction of flame growth and a 300,000 Btu/hr 41/2foot long methane igniting flame). The duration of the test was chosen as 20 minutes and the sample cables were supported on a 12 inch wide cable rack in the zone of maximum temperature and heat concentration in a single layer which completely filled the rack width. The maximum flame spread was recorded rather than a flame spread factor. The smoke development was monitored by a photometer system in the test furnace exhaust duct and the optical smoke density was calculated from the light attenuation values. The results are given in Table 5 below:
TABLE 5______________________________________ OpticalCable No. of Maximum Smoke DensityConstruction Cables Flame Spread (ft) Peak Average______________________________________Ex 30#1 15 2.0 0.14 0.03#2 15 3.0 0.08 0.03Ex 31#1 15 2.0 0.06 0.02#2 15 2.5 0.05 0.01UL Standard Filled Rack 5.0 0.50 0.15(Maximum)______________________________________
The results reported in Table 5 demonstrate that the cables of the invention give flame spread and smoke densities well within the Underwriters Laboratories standard.

Oh *hugs* OP. I have only just had my traumatic birth so I'm not a lot of help but I definitely agree with posters who have suggesting seeing someone. I have just started and while it doesn't happen overnight, it's nice to have someone to vent to, someone I don't know personally.
I have also had two traumatic ectopics with a hospital and I complained after negligence on their part (so bad I could sue... But not sure I can handle it) and they wouldn't even offer an apology. Not a single word. They wouldn't even give me my hospital records without jumping through hoops! It blows my mind women go through this everyday, and hospitals and drs think it's ok
If you ever need to vent please feel free to PM me. Like I said, sometimes it's nice to have someone just listen. Sometimes you don't want to be told it's ok, you just want to let it all out and get it off your chest xx

Congrats to Essner
CONGRATULATIONS to Cape Girardeau's Danny Essner for winning the Rush Limbaugh award. He is a nice man but at the same time willing to take on entrenched, often hostile interests in fighting for the overall well-being of the community. I am thinking particularly of his unceasing efforts to help bring the casino to Cape Girardeau.
Tax warning
HERE is a caution for small businessmen who fill out their own Form 9-40 federal unemployment tax. The state of Missouri borrowed money for unemployment from the federal government and has not paid it back. Because of that, all small businesses have to pay a surcharge to the federal government and pay extra. It's on a different form. You've got find it and schedule a Form 9-40. You better talk to your accountant and see whether it applies. I don't know whether we have to pay it or not, but be careful.
Cape Splash
I believe it would be good if Cape Girardeau would give some thought of adding a wave at the Cape Splash Family Aquatic Center. That would encourage some that go to the other parks to stay here in Cape Girardeau. If they didn't have the expense of gas, they could use Cape Splash more often. Hopefully the weather will be more normal this coming summer and it can get back to full swing like it did the first year. I believe this could be a win-win deal.
Excellent program
THE Theatre and Dance Extravaganza was absolutely sensational. Such talent in that department. Many of those students have bright futures as actors, and we get to watch them grow in our backyard. Thank you to the faculty in the Department of Theatre and Dance. You have one of the top programs at Southeast. Everyone needs to go see "The Pajama Game" at the River Campus when it opens in late February. You simply won't believe this is being produced in Cape Girardeau.
Truck weights
REPUBLICANS are pushing a new bill for the highways to repair them. But they are also going to allow bigger and heavier trucks. States could permit trucks weighing up to 97,000 pounds -- and in some cases as much as 126,000 pounds -- on interstate highways under the bill. The current limit is 80,000 pounds in most states. Increased weight limits are supported by the trucking industry but opposed by safety advocates. The bigger trucks will destroy the highways faster than they can be repaired.
Insider trading
THEY are talking about passing a bill to stop inside trading by Congress and the Senate. Now Rep. Eric Cantor wants to include the executive branch, as if the people there would be the ones to watch. They can pass a bill but it will do no good. The greedy members of Congress will only pass on the inside trading information to their many friends who are millionaires and billionaires. They will still get kickbacks and their big political contributions.
Broadway parking
I hope Cape Girardeau officials look at the parking problem in the 300 and 400 block of Broadway. I understand 150 state employees have given up a second parking lot to the casino people, so the majority of them have moved to both sides of the street of Broadway, which is taking up parking spaces for the businesses. The state only has one parking lot now, which is full with the overflow parking on both sides of Broadway. If the city restricts parking on the north side of Broadway, then a big parking problem is only going to get worse. Both sides of Broadway need to be available for parking.
Branson shows
I wish they'd show TV shows from the shows in Branson, Mo.
Shorter session
A Missouri senator called for the legislative session to end about two months early to save money. That is a wonderful idea if they are also giving up that two months' pay. If not, then it will be more costly and give them more vacation time. I doubt if they will be giving up anything, as they are too greedy and always trying to figure out how to get more. They should be raising the taxes on the millionaires and billionaires, but they won't as they are benefiting from them.
Deer add beauty
DEER add beauty and grace to this old town. You never see deer going by your house and throwing beer bottles in your yard or littering the parks. The most destructive force in Cape Girardeau is the people who live here.

text: Mohenjo-Daro, archaeological site of the Indus Valley, or Harappān, civilization (2500?-1700 bc), south of Lārkāna, Pakistan. Excavated in the 1920s by the British archaeologist Sir John Marshall (1876-1958), Mohenjo-Daro covers more than 80 hectares (200 acres) and consists of two mounds separated by an unoccupied area. A major city and commercial center during the Bronze Age, it is the largest Indus Valley settlement. The small western mound, or "citadel," has several public buildings, which may have been surrounded by a wall. Early excavators took these buildings for a granary, assembly hall, college, and public bath, but later studies have cast doubt on that conclusion. The larger eastern mound consists of large blocks of brick buildings, separated by streets and housing the inhabitants' residences and workshops. Both mounds yielded an abundance of Harappān artifacts.

- 150g • 5oz strong white
- bread flour
- 150g • 5oz strong wholemeal bread flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 1 x 7g-10g sachet dried yeast
- 175ml • 6fl oz lukewarm water
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tbsp melted butter
- egg wash (1 egg beaten with
- 2 tbsp water)
- 1 x 250g camembert
★ Day 1 Mix together all the ingredients for the filling and leave to soak overnight at room temperature. If you don't have time, soak for a couple of hours while the dough is proving.
★ Day 2 Sift the flours together with the salt, combining well to remove any lumps. Dissolve the yeast in the lukewarm water. Add the yeasty water to the centre of the flour and gradually draw in the flour from the edges. Start to knead. The dough should not be too sticky. Sprinkle it with a little flour if it is.
★ Leave to prove in a warm place for 1½ hours, covered with a damp cloth.
★ Turn the dough out and cut into 4 equal parts (around 125g • 4½ oz each). Place 2 parts back into the bowl and combine with the apple mixture, squelching it altogether with your fingers. Set aside.
★ Use the other 2 parts of dough for the outside of the loaves. Roll them out into thin rectangular 'skins' about 2mm • scant ⅛ in thick (about 18cm x 22cm • 7in x 8½ in). Brush edges with melted butter. Place half of the apple/dough mixture in the middle of one of the 'skins' of dough. Pat down to make an even layer of about 2cm • ¾ in, leaving enough space on each side to fold over. Fold in the sides and place on a baking tray, with the folds underneath. Repeat for second loaf.
★ Brush with melted butter and egg wash. Poke all over with a fork. Prove for 30 minutes in a warm place.
★ Bake for 30-35 minutes at 180C fan (200C/gas 6), no preheating required. The loaves should have a rich brown colour.
★ Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 5 minutes on a wire rack. The bread keeps well for a week or can be frozen.
★ When ready to serve, bake the camembert. Preheat the oven to 180C fan (200C/gas 6). Keep the camembert in the box but remove the paper. Score around the top of the camembert. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is oozy.
★ Meanwhile, slice the apple bread and toast to your liking. Serve with the warm camembert.

Kidney - External Macro Anatomy
Kidney Anatomy Cortex
Kidney - Internal Macro Anatomy Base Medulla Papillae Column
Nephron Renal Corpuscle Renal Tubule
Renal Corpuscle Renal corpuscle – Site of fluid filtration – 2 components glomerulus – group of capillary loops – fed by afferent arteriole – removed by efferent arteriole glomerular (Bowman's) capsule – double walled epithelial cup – outer wall (parietal layer) separated from inner wall (visceral layer) by capsular (Bowman's) space
Nephron Renal tubule - where filtered fluid passes from capsule – proximal convoluted tubule (PCT) – distal convoluted tubule (DCT) – loop of Henle (nephron loop) – short connecting tubules – collecting ducts – merge to papillary duct then to minor calyx 30 pap ducts/papillae
Nephron Cortical vs. juxtamedullary nephrons – Name depends on length of LofH – 15-20% have long loops and reabsorptive capabilities
Renal Corpuscle Histology Each nephron portion has distinctive features Histology of Glomerular filter – Three layers of tissue – From inside to out prevents movement of progressively smaller particles
Renal Corpuscle Histology 1) Endothelium of glomerulus – Single layer of endothelium w/ fenestrations – Restricts RBC movement
Renal Corpuscle Histology 2) Basement membrane of glomerulus – Between endothelium and visceral layer of glom capsule – Prevents large protein movement
Renal Corpuscle Histology 3) Filtration slits in podocytes – Podocytes specialized epithelium of visceral layer footlike extensions w/ slits between extensions – Restrict medium-sized proteins
Renal Corpuscle Histology
Tubule Histology In general, tubule is a single layer of epithelial cells on basement membrane PCT – cuboidal w/ brush border of microvilli on apical border – surface area for reabsorption
Tubule Histology Descending loop of Henle, beginning of ascending loop – simple squamous epithelium – only permeable to water Remainder of ascending loop – cuboidal to low columnar epithelium – only permeable to ions
Tubule Histology DCT, collecting ducts - cuboidal w/ some modifications in late DCT collecting ducts – principal cells – intercalated cells
Tubule Histology – Macula Densa special cells in this area monitor Na + Cl - content in blood able to work w/ JG cells – Both work together to regulate BP – Juxtaglomerular (JG) cells modified smooth muscle secrete vasoconstrictors Juxtaglomerular apparatus (JGA) – Ascending LofH contacts afferent arteriole
Renal Blood Supply Important in italics – Renal artery 20-25% of resting CO 1200 ml/min – Segmental arteries – Interlobar arteries - through columns – Arcuate arteries – Interlobular arteries
Renal Blood Supply Important in Italics – Afferent arterioles - each renal corpuscle receives 1 – Glomerular caps – Efferent arterioles - drain blood from glomerulus – Peritubular caps - around PCT and DCT – Vasa recta - long loop from efferent arteriole around LofH
Renal Blood Supply Important in italics – Interlobular veins – Arcuate veins – Interlobar veins – Segmental veins – Renal veins - exits hilus
Renal Nerve Supply Nerves from renal plexus of SNS Vasomotor nerves that accompany renal arteries and branches – What is the role of SNS stimulation on renal blood flow? – Fight or flight – Decrease flow
The Final Common Pathway Ureter – extension of kidney pelvis – enter bladder medially from posterior Histology - 3 layers – mucosa mucous membrane w/ transitional epithelium secrete mucous – muscularis - smooth inner longitudinal outer circular – serosa
The Final Common Pathway Urinary bladder – hollow muscular organ – generally smaller in females due to uterus – retroperitoneally in pelvic cavity posteriorly to pelvic symphysis – freely movable Structure - trigone
The Final Common Pathway Histology – mucosa - mucous membrane of transitional epithelium and underlying lamina propria – muscularis detrusor muscle 3 layers of inner longitudinal, mid circular, outer longitudinal around opening to urethra – circular fibers form internal urethral sphincter – lower is external urethral sphincter - skeletal muscle for control – serosa - peritoneum
The Final Common Pathway
Urethra – small tube from floor of bladder to exterior of body females fairly straight path out through vagina males passes through the prostate gland – histology female three coats – inner mucous, intermediate thin layer of spongy tissue w/ plexus of veins – outer muscular coat continuous w/ bladder male two layers – inner mucous membrane – outer submucous tissue connects w/ structures that it passes

London cop and compulsive gambler Harry Clayton is on the verge of losing everything. On the night when his huge debts are to be called in, he meets the enigmatic Eve, who gives him a mysterious bracelet said to endow the wearer with immense luck. Harry's fortunes suddenly begin to shift, but he also soon finds himself sucked into a sinister crime wave sweeping through the city.
Golding's game enters its terrifying final phase. Can Harry save his family and himself?
Just when he is getting close, a shocking turn of events sees Harry thrown right into the dragon's lair. With his half-brother Rich in mortal danger, Harry realises too late who is really pulling the strings.
Harry is distraught when a devastating murder impacts him personally. Suri and Orwell take the case but, convinced that they have it all wrong, Harry takes things into his own hands, invoking the bracelet and breaking the rules.
When a young man dies fleeing for his life, Harry and Suri are forced to tread carefully as they are thrown into a world of wealthy foreign students with dangerous and powerful connections.
There are whispers of ritual sacrifice when a mutilated body is found at City Hall's newest development site. Convinced that there is more to it than that, Harry puts Suri's life at risk.
Behaving strangely after mysteriously going AWOL, Harry is called in to investigate the murder of a members' club owner in Shoreditch. The team have a prime suspect but Harry has his own ideas about who is responsible.
There's a whiff of conspiracy when a woman is mysteriously kidnapped from her office in the City. Harry and Suri must pull out all the stops if they are to track her down before it's too late.
Harry is drawn into the case of a robbery at Hatton Garden as he starts to realise that his good luck comes at a price.
Harry's lucky bracelet is put to the ultimate test as he hunts for the man behind casino boss Freddy Lau's death.
The life of troubled London cop, D.I. Harry Clayton, takes an unexpected turn when a mysterious woman gives him a bracelet that seems to allow him to control luck. Will he use it to bring a killer to justice or win at the casino?

Aztlan and Viet Nam by George Mariscal
Book DescriptionShowcasing over sixty short stories, poems, speeches, and articles, "Aztlan and Viet Nam" is the first anthology of Mexican American writings about the U.S. war in Southeast Asia. The words are startlingly frank, moving, and immensely powerful, as they call to our attention an important and neglected part of U.S. history. Gathered from many little-known sources, the works reflect both the soldiers' experience and the antiwar movement at home. Taken together, they illustrate the contradictions faced by the traditionally patriotic Mexican American community, and show us the war and the grassroots opposition to it from a new perspective - one that goes beyond the familiar dichotomy of black and white America. George Mariscal offers critical introductions and provides historical background by identifying specific issues which have not been widely discussed in relation to the war, noting, for example, the potential for Chicano soldiers to recognize their own ethnic and class identities in those of the Vietnamese people. Drawing upon interviews with key participants in the National Chicano Moratorium Committee, Mariscal analyzes the antiwar movement, the Catholic Church, traditional Mexican American groups, and an emerging feminist consciousness among Chicanas. Also included are personal accounts: Norma Elia Cantu's remembrance of her brother who died in combat, Barbara Renaud Gonzalez's evocative poem about Chicanas on the homefront, Alberto Rios' and Naomi Helena Quinonez's moving poetry about the Wall, and the recollections of Abelardo Delgado and others on the August 29, 1970 Moratorium.

Rishi Kapoor on Raj Kapoor's alleged affairs: Rishi Kapoor describes Nargis, who is featured in the logo of the Kapoor-owned RK Studios, as Raj Kapoor's 'in-house heroine'
The two, who have apparently split, however, ensured that they did not come face-to-face. Only after RK, who was endorsing a two-wheeler, left the venue that Kat arrived for the promotional activities for a high-end vehicle
Ranbir is an over sensitive person and actor; his friends say she can help him develop that necessary immunity from flop films and critics. Her perseverance, professionalism and work discipline will only help the RK brand
Here's a view of the legendary Holi parties held at the RK studios when Raj Kapoor was alive
Deepika was at Michael Kors' show while Priyanka attended Prabal Guruang's
Madhur Bhandarkar hosted a housewarming party on November 30
It's Shah Rukh Khan's birthday today. At 51, the actor continues to rule our hearts as the Badshah of Bollywood and King of Romance. Shah Rukh's last year's birthday resolution was that from the age of 50-55, he wants to do '15 very nice films'. Dear Zindagi, how much we love this resolution of his! As Shah Rukh turns a year older today, here's a pictorial look at his filmy life and career so far.
Happy anniversary, Shah Rukh Khan and Gauri Khan!

Erik' Cause is a 501(c)(3) non-profit charitable organization dedicated to spreading awareness to a diversity of communities about the dangers of pass-out activities most commonly known as "The Choking Game"
Our purpose is to save kids' lives and keep families from having to endure the devastation of losing a child to these preventable "pass-out" activities. We do this by promoting skills-based education that teaches kids and families the dangers of pass-out activities. We also reinforce skills for kids on how to resist peer pressure as well as provide parents ways to talk with their children about these topics that are frequently challenging to approach.
Studies show that 75% of kids surveyed have heard of some of some form of pass-out games (most commonly known as The Choking Game) and that 20-32% of kids admit to having participated in these activities. However, 82% of those who have participated report they were unaware of any dangers associated with these activities. Documented incidences of choking game incidents, injuries and deaths are on the rise.
We offer a non-graphic, skills-based educational curriculum to teach students and parents about the potential for injury and death from these seemingly innocent activities along with ways to reinforce vital skills that kids need to stand up to peer pressure. We also provide parents with ways to broach discussion with their children about these topics. Our educational program is standardized so that it can be easily replicated by different presenters, thus providing schools and communities with a simple-to-use tool that can be easily replicated from class-to-class or assembly-to assembly.
A multitude of diverse professionals as well as parents and kids provided valuable input as we created our program. Piloted in Santa Monica, CA, is was successfully used with a Los Angeles Unified School District middle school and is also being well-received in other parts of the country. While our program is geared for children ages 9-16, it can be tailored for high school students as well as elementary school children. We provide support and training to communities to help get the program started and are also happy to come and present the trainings as well.
Our ultimate goal is for this issue to have the national exposure and dialogue it deserves - the way bullying is finally coming to light. Meanwhile, kids are still dying - approximately one child every week across the US and Europe (by very conservative estimates). Even more are injured. Unfortunately, too many choking game deaths are mislabeled as suicides and many injuries go unreported altogether.
Erik was a normal, active, bright and curious 6th grader - an "A" student, boy scout and athlete who had focused plans and dreams for his future. He learned about this from a schoolmate the day before he tried it at home and died. There were no warning signs because he had only just learned of it. Had we known about it's dangers, he never would have attempted to "play" it and would be alive today.
Erik's dream was to be a soldier - he wanted to save lives. Our mission is to honor his legacy by saving the lives of other kids and to keep families from experiencing this type of devastating loss.
Please explore our website, look at our material, share your story with us, tell a friend, share with others, join our cause and save kids' lives!

Spacious apartment, great location with free wifi
Our second hoilday in the 3 bedroomed apartment. The apartments are basic, but with a lovely cool and traditional feel and extremely spacious. Ideal for our party including adult children who can have their own room and bathroom and wifi too!. A third toilet inside the front entrance hall is ideal for nipping up from the pool. Great location close to the beach and pine walk, tons of outside space including two huge balconies, only narrowly missing out on 5 stars because of a lack of outside furniture to enjoy the upper balcony. Booking was easy and the agent extremely helpful. We can't wait to return next year!!
Activity and Interests
The beautiful Pine Walk beach is located only 50metres away. The beach has sunbeds and umbrellas for hire and water sports are available.
Palma airport is only a 40 minute drive away. Puerto Pollensa can be reached by taxi (approx 70 euros each way, we can book this for you), bus (either public or transfer service) or hire car.
Just a couple of minutes by foot to the centre of Puerto Pollensa along the sea front. There is a good choice of shops and restaurants all close to the apartment. Both Pollensa and Alcudia old towns can easily be reached by bike (can be hired locally), car or bus (10 minutes).
Further Details:
The sedate holiday resort of Puerto Pollensa stretches along a sheltered horseshoe-shaped bay lined with sandy beaches, set against the backdrop of the Boquer mountain range on the north coast of Mallorca. The resort has grown up around the scenic fishing port that serves the picturesque old Roman town of Pollensa, situated a few miles inland. Described as a laid bake resort Puerto Pollensa attracts families and couples. Cafes, restaurants and tourist shops line the promenade along with some elegant hotels, which overlook the wide sandy beach and the bay, dotted with the colourful sails of yachts. Puerto Pollensa is very adequately supplied with shops and boutiques catering to the tourist trade and holidaymakers will enjoy a spot of shopping. In addition the local markets delight shoppers in Mallorca, and one of the liveliest and biggest takes place every Sunday in the church square in the Pollensa old town. Market day in Puerto Pollensa itself is Wednesdays, when stalls are set up in the Church Square. Puerto Pollensa is renowned for hosting some of the best fish restaurants on Mallorca. While this is undoubtedly so, there is also a wide selection of restaurants catering to all tastes, from the best of British to pizza, Chinese, the local tapas and even Indian.Puerto Pollensa offers a wide range of restaurants, shops and pavement cafes. Catering for all tastes and budgets. Puerto Pollensa offers all the usual watersports enjoyed by holidaymakers. Glass bottom boat trips are available. There are also opportunities for hiking along walking trails in the surrounding hills and scenic mountains. Sightseeing in the port itself and the neighbouring old town, particularly on foot, is an interesting option. Excursions to the lighthouse at Cap Formentor, along a hair-raising but beautiful drive, are popular, also trips to other places of interest on Mallorca. Generally, though, most visitors come to Puerto Pollensa purely for relaxation on the magnificent beaches.

Arctic by Richard Vaughan
Book DescriptionThe Arctic surrounds the North Pole. Russia, whose shores stretch approximately half way round the northern hemisphere, takes the lion's share in the territory but the United States, Canada and Denmark have their stakes too. Those who inhabit the densely packed ice, however, remain largely unconcerned by national claims and political boundaries. Today the Arctic, neither a continent nor a nation, has become one of the last contested lands on earth. Richard Vaughan focuses on the human inhabitants of the Arctic and their struggle for existence in one of the most inhospitable areas of the world from the Stone Age to the present day. He looks at the impact of European, American and Russian exploration on the lives of the indigenous peoples; the attempts to forge trade routes - including those by sixteenth-century explorer Willem Barentsz and by Henry Hudson - and the exploitation of the region by the West and Russia, including the effects of the whaling industry, fur trading, ivory trading and the mining of coal and the drilling of oil. Fully revised and updated, this book confirms the richness and diversity of the Arctic's history, culture, wildlife and landscape and looks at its future.

John the Fearless, Paperback (January 2003)
The aims and personality of the second duke are illuminated, and the development of the Burgundian state during his ducal reign (1404-1419) charted. His supposed 'infernal pact' with the English and his assassination are examined; his activities in France are studied, as he exploited French resources for the benefit of Burgundy.
Charles the Bold, Paperback (January 2003)
Erudite but highly readable... An attractive and timely repackaging of an unrivalled classic of Burgundian studies. MEDIUM AEVUM
Philip the Good, Paperback (January 2003)» View all books by Richard Vaughan
Philip, who ruled from 1419 to 1467, was one of the most powerful and influential rulers of the fifteenth century. Forced into an alliance with the English, he soon found that he held the balance of power between England and France - reflected in the final crucial phase of the Hundred Years War.

USD/JPY Forecast September 12, 2016, Technical Analysis
Daily Forex Reports | by FX Empire | Sunday, 11 September 2016 01:34 UTCThe USD/JPY pair had a slightly positive session on Friday, as we continue to grind to the upside. With this being the case, it's very likely that the market will try to reach towards the 104 level, but given enough time in there will be quite a bit of volatility as well. I believe it's a market that you can only buy, because quite frankly there is a massive amount of support just below. On top of that, we have the Bank of Japan is willing to work against the value the Japanese yen, so I'm bullish but I also recognize that it's choppy ahead.
