COMSOL Multiphysics® Intensive (2 Days)
If you are looking for an intensive introduction to using COMSOL Multiphysics, this is the course for you. During the 2-day COMSOL Multiphysics Intensive Training course, you will develop a strong foundation for your future multiphysics modeling work. We start at an introductory level, leading students through the essential steps needed in all analyses (geometry creation, interactive meshing techniques, model setup, postprocessing, etc.) Then, we move into more advanced topics, such as solution techniques and multiphysics modeling.
To teach this course, we use a combination of guided hands-on training, theoretical and practical lecture, and self-guided hands-on training. The goal is to immerse you in all of the main aspects of using COMSOL Multiphysics, so that you feel comfortable working with the software. You will leave the course feeling confident that you are correctly solving your simulation problems with COMSOL Multiphysics.
Day 1, 9:00am - 5:00pm
Please plan to check in between 8:30 am - 9:00 am.
The course begins with a guided introduction to the graphical user interface (GUI) of the software, so that you learn the key steps in the modeling workflow. In particular, we will walk you through the following:
- The COMSOL Multiphysics GUI – all of the steps from creating a geometry to model setup, meshing, solving, and postprocessing
- Using and understanding the key features of the COMSOL Multiphysics architecture
- Geometry import and geometry creation
- Best practices for meshing geometry
- Mesh and geometry simplification for analysis
- Understanding the theory behind the linear and nonlinear finite element method
Day 2, 9:00am - 5:00pm
Please plan to check in between 8:30 am - 9:00 am.
The second day builds upon the training from the previous day with more examples and lecture that address:
- Practical and theoretical aspects of multiphysics modeling and efficient solution techniques
- The math behind multiphysics finite element methods
- Considerations for coupling different physics together
- Adding equations and couplings to the problems
- Modeling time-dependent, frequency-domain, and eigenvalue problems
- Use of moving and adaptive meshes

Painting & Drawing
Painting and drawing is a way for people to show off their fine art skills. While some people merely view painting and drawing as a hobby, others view it as a means of expression. Some paintings sell for thousands, or even millions of dollars at auction. Drawings receive similar notoriety, especially if they are unique and hard to find... read more
Mosaics provide one of the best platforms to showcase true artistic ability. They allow for ultimate creativity as well, as many different materials are used to create a mosaic. Many mosaics are created without an intended message, and the primary purpose of these is the arrangement of objects to create an aesthetic appeal... read more
While it is true that most art is valued for its originality, printmaking is an essential part of the fine art world. The ability to create multiple images with one print is what makes many of these pieces unique in their own right. There are many different types of printmaking techniques which are utilized... read more

PTSD is categorized according to when symptoms occur and how long they last. There are 3 types of PTSD:
- Acute—symptoms last between 1-3 months after the event
- Chronic—symptoms last more than 3 months after the event
- Delayed onset—symptoms don't appear until at least 6 months after the event
Diagnosis of PTSD is usually based on the following:
Initial Assessment
Your doctor will ask you about your symptoms and medical history. This could be done by a structured interview and/or questionnaire. You will be given a psychological assessment and asked about past trauma. PTSD will be diagnosed if you have the specified symptoms, they last for more than one month, and they result in both emotional distress and disturbed functioning (problems at school, work, and/or in family and peer relationships).
Diagnosis is often based on the criteria outlined in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5), which include the following:
- Exposure to a traumatic event
- Recurrent and intrusive distressing memories of the event
- Repeated vivid and uncontrollable memories
- Emotional numbness
- Physical symptoms of fear triggered by cues in the environment or other physical sensations that dredge up the traumatic event
- Interference with work, school, and/or relationships
Evaluation for Substance Abuse
Using and withdrawing from addictive substances can cause anxiety and other symptoms that resemble PTSD. Your doctor may ask about your use of alcohol and other drugs.
Evaluation of Other Psychiatric Disorders
Other psychiatric disorders often occur with or can be mistaken as PTSD. You may be tested for other psychiatric disorders, such as:
- Alcohol use disorder or drug abuse and dependence
- Depression
- Other anxiety disorders
- Phobias
- Borderline personality disorder
- Schizophrenia

A survey released Monday by Nationwide Financial found 98% of Americans with a spouse, domestic partner or dependent are underinsured to the tune of $1.2 million. According to Nationwide, the average life insurance policy will replace about 16% of the insured's income.
"Too many Americans make the mistake of assuming that simply providing what may appear to be a large lump sum of money for their beneficiaries will be enough to protect them," Eric Henderson, senior vice president of life insurance and annuities for Nationwide Financial, said in a statement. "Instead, they should think about how much of their income the insurance money will replace. If it doesn't replace a high percentage of it, their family faces the risk of financial disruption or a reduced standard of living. It's simple math, and it doesn't add up for 49 out of 50 of those we surveyed."
Henderson added that there are a lot of expenses that come up later in a person's life that could be hard to meet: college, weddings, retirement, health care and long-term care.
Henderson stressed that while income over a number of years may seem more intangible than a car or a house, it's far more important.
"For most of us, the income we will earn before retirement is far more significant to the financial well-being of our family than any material possession," he said. "The cost for enough life insurance to replace this income may be less than you spend to insure your home or car. A lack of understanding of the true cost of life insurance may be part of the reason for such widespread consumer inaction."
About a third of respondents said their biggest reason for purchasing life insurance was to replace their income if they needed it, but just 2% have actually done so. The survey found consumers were willing to pay an average $99 a month on life insurance to keep up their family's standard of living.
However, according to research from LIMRA, consumers tend to overestimate the cost of life insurance by three times, and less than 30% think they can afford enough life insurance to replace their income.
"Advisors and insurance agents may be able to motivate clients by helping them understand the implications of their income replacement gap," Henderson said. "We know that consumers don't respond well to scare tactics, however, they may be relieved to learn that the solution is not as scary as they may expect. Even if they don't feel compelled to buy enough life insurance to replace all of their income, most consumers can afford enough to put a significant dent in their income replacement gap. That's at least a step in the right direction."
About a third of consumers worked with an advisor or agent to determine how much insurance they needed, while 20% just guessed. In spite of that, two-thirds say they are certain they have enough insurance, and 62% either didn't know how long they could maintain their standard of living with insurance benefits, or put that figure at a mere four years.
"Many Americans have the false perception that they have an adequate life insurance plan in place," Henderson said. "When they actually do the math, the true picture may become clearer, and hopefully motivate action."

A blessed Lent to all!
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
In the diaspora, as common as you will find staunch defenders of Eastern and Oriental tradition, maybe more so, I really don't know. For the Maronites, many of these communities were born out of the care of American Roman Catholic prelates, often times growing with Latinizations; these people don't even know what's not their tradition. Peace and God Bless.
No matter how hard we show and discuss and prove how valid experiences, it's not good enough, which should be of no surprise.
I was very sad to see the archives of the Eastern Christianity taken out of public view. I enjoyed going back and reading those threads. Especially the one about Halloween that Father Ambrose contributed. I am still kicking myself for not saving the link to that blog he posted.
What a joy to be welcomed so warmly here by all the admins. and moderators!! Never got any kind of welcome even close to that by the CAF folks. I wonder if that, too, reflects a difference between the Orthodox and RC world-views? Just a (tiny) thought!Thank you all so much!Many blessings,Jeff
Quinault, here is a little gift for you. http://126.96.36.199/search?q=cache:H4x2OmSHIX0J:forums.catholic.com/showthread.php%3Fp%3D2912435+%22fr+ambrose%22+halloween+samhain&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=3&gl=us
Hello,I have seen you (and maybe one or two others) use this phrase of experiences recently. What exactly do you mean by it?
I just posted on CA that I will not accept these either. It appears that the administration is preparing a response on the staff chat, but I can't be sure. It also seems that Joe Monahan is no longer a moderator...
Thank you for bearing with us while we get the new Eastern Catholicism forum up and running. We have received a number of concerns over the past week. Perhaps this is the best place to try and answer at once the key issues that have been raised. So we are speaking in general to all of the members who have voiced concerns and not specifically to the issues raised above.1 - CAF is an expensive site to run. The management, administrative, technical, moderation, and infrastructure costs are significant. It does not pay its own way.2 - In fact, it is only through the good graces of several individuals who are willing to put in long, uncompensated hours, oft-times in the wee hours, that we are able to keep CAF online. Asking them to do even more is not possible. Because of this, situations that increase CAF's costs and administrative time generally must be viewed with a keen eye and a sharp pencil. Hindrances to the smooth functioning of the site increase costs. We believe that keeping our costs low is an important guiding principle for CAF, one that is certainly not unreasonable.3 - That some guests were unwilling to adhere to even basic rules of civility has unfortunately been the case and has had to be dealt with in a strict manner. We believe this too is reasonable and ask you to look at it from our point of view: Would you allow a house guest to remain after he showed disrespect to others and repeatedly mischaracterized, even bad-mouthed, you? Belligerence by parties (on both sides) in the old EC forum had risen to the point where several members (on both sides) had to be suspended or put under review. We cannot and will not discuss individual cases. All that can be said here is that several of the individuals affected (on both sides) have been spinning the situation to put themselves in a favorable light. It does not surprise us to see that belligerence and pride can cloud objectivity, although we regret that the situation has taken such a turn in some quarters.4 - The situation in the old forum had deteriorated to the point where many CAF members felt driven out or were unwilling to venture into that forum because of the behaviors therein. This was clearly an untenable situation necessitating that we act quickly and decisively. That some now see rule enforcement as somehow "unfair" is an indication of just how bad a turn the situation had taken.5 – While it may be obvious, it bears repeating: The purpose of CAF is to serve Catholics and non-Catholics who are willing to come together for discussions while complying with the rules. In order to meet these objectives better, we are simply moving in a new direction, getting "back to basics" if you will. Perhaps this should have been the first step a few years ago. We know many members think so. Given this new direction at CAF we are strictly enforcing the rules and hope that those who enjoy this site will bear with us through the rough patches.6 – The forums are provided to the community at large on an "at will" basis. If the process of changing direction has resulted in shock or hurt feelings, we sympathize and hope in turn that you can sympathize with our position. However, we simply do not have the time and resources to engage in group (let alone one-on-one) consultations. If there are those among you whose needs are no longer being met by CAF, we apologize for the inconvenience and wish you luck in finding a more suitable venue. We trust that most members will work with us to create a safe, pleasant, charitable atmosphere in the new Eastern Catholicism forum and find in it a place that will meet their needs. 7 - While we look for an oversight team appropriate for the new Eastern Catholicism forum, we ask that members bear with us in the interim. We hope to have it in place in very short order (days, not weeks).8 - As noted elsewhere, the old EC forum has been pulled for review. We hope to return reference material to the new EC forum in short order.Thank you again for your patience. It is our hope and prayer that CAF remains a pleasant experience for all its members.
. . . LakaYaRabb is a friend of mine from Steubenville and I can tell you he has no intent on submitting to the western views.
Coder,The reason why we are being so staunch is because the new trend is to deny that our experiences as Eastern and Oriental Christians are not valid, as in is wrong, because it violates some notion that all Eastern and Oriental Catholics are in some romantic unity, or at least right now they should be. I find this unhealthy for dialogue, for it is not being honest at the disunity that does exist, and creating some mass statement like, "well, it should be this otherwise you are not Catholic," doesn't even address the issues.Like I said on CAF, the same issues that separate Orthodoxy exist in the Catholic Communion. The sooner we recognize the fact, and be honest about our positions, we can try and hash out these issues.Peace and God Bless.
He is also a friend of mine. We both used to live at the Trinity East dorm at FUS.
Yes, he has mentioned you Apotheoun. He mentioned that he learned a great deal from you. I just met him this semester.
Yes, I noticed that he is now a "retired" moderator. I sent him a private message just after the crackdown began, but he never responded. He was always fair to me, and I wish him the best.
Indeed! I'm sure, however, that they would say, "It's our web-site and we'll do with it what we want!" And as far as that goes, it's true. But the spirit of what they have done most definitely resembles a book burning.Blessings,Jeff
Hello,Do the moderators and admins welcome everyone on this forum - or just us refugees? It might not be fair to compare this warm welcome to that on CAF as I don't recall there being such a large concentrated influx coming to CAF at any one time.Regardless of the answer, the welcome here is comforting and I am appreciative of it. Thank you OrthodoxChristianity.net
That's too bad. I'm glad to see you, Laka and Yeshua sticking up for Eastern/Oriental Catholicism on the new EC board.
Do the moderators and admins welcome everyone on this forum - or just us refugees?
Hello,I asked the CAF if I could get access to the old archives to save some of my more memorable posts - and those of others. The response I got is:We sympathize with the loss of posts important to you, but unfortunatelydo not have the time and resources necessary to recover them for you.ForumAdmin StaffCatholic Answers Forums(http://forums.catholic.com) Bummer! When will I learn to never put off till tomorrow what you can backup today.
Yes, he was extremely fair to both sides. I always felt there was a lot more freedom to express views. Perhaps that's why he's now "retired." There were a great amount of threads that got out of hand, but I learned so much more from them. He probably got asked to take a break because of the huge freedom. Very few people got banned on the EC's...
I'll second that. I always appreciated Laka, Yeshua and Jimmy's posts. And outside of the mentioned Syriac Fathers , Apothuem.
There was another one from Steubenville, a Chaldean whose name began with an "R," who also made valuable contributions. Is he still around too?
"Retired" is another lie from that board... They PAY their moderators, and Joe, who loved us Orthodox Christians and made sure that the few we had there were protected against the thousands of RC posters who would cheerfully have run us through, had they been given the chance, just as they are now doing to the EC's on the new section... Joe needed the money he was making there - I pray he has found another job... He was fair and protective at the same time, and I loved him, even though I still have the bruises of his ruler across the backs of my cyber-miscreantic hands!He was terminated, and the termination was covered up, along with the rest of what they did...Ghosty, another stand-up guy with whom I profoundly disagreed, but nevertheless utterly respected [he thinks there is no contradiction between the Creed with the Filioque in Latin and the Creed without it in Greek, for instance...] while sympathiizing with the move, because there was heat in the postings from the Orthodox there - eg the MORAL implications to the RC positions were DRAWN, rather than politely ignored - well, Ghosty is fed up and dismayed at what he is seeing them doing, and is about ready to leave - It is the cover-up that won't pass the sniff test that is driving him off... And he was their best poster by far...Arsenios
Hello; brother coder is it ...i liked the way you defended your faith on catholic answers forum ,,you really put up some powerful responses in defense of what you believe,,,keep up the good work ,,,,brother stashko
I feel like I'm in a displaced persons camp.
Oh quitch'er whinin', Isa! I am OVERJOYED to see you here - The theology is proven in deeds [praxis]...We made a gallant foray into their camp and made off with many worthy spoils...And shamed them properly, as they so richly deserved...It would be a lot of fun to invite those in communion with the Pope to come over here to find out about what has been being hidden from them, and about Orthodoxy, should they have questions... I do not know if their board would allow that...I mean, it is as if a Nash Rambler, reliable and slow, got yoked up with an Indy Car... They simply HAD to break off... And there was no way to do it cleanly... And now they are reviewing the whole of Eastern Christianity, before they allow anything to be made available to the list... By their deeds shall they be known...Should we have kept a lower profile and plundered them longer? Maybe... But I sure like the idea of exposing those hiding in the bushes for who they really are, and what they really will do... By their doing it... The only greater joy would be in seeing their repentance from having done it... Arsenios
I have always had the feeling on CA that the Roman west looked down their theological noses at us in the east for some reason. PS, I do miss the voluminous choices of smily faces though. They seemed to convey the feeling of the post. Maybe someone can come up with those animated version of the smily faces sometime? :pumpkin:
Well, we Easterners are unschooled and theologically barbaric...we didn't have the scholastic learning of the West Oh, and I miss those smileys, too!
Oh, and I miss those smileys, too!
Not only that, we are paralyzed, stagnant and stuck in the 8th century.
Your post is most appropriate and makes a lot of sense.JoeS
Yes, wonderfully so!JoeS
hello therei knew something like this would happen, i once told the EO posters on the CAF, that dont entertain conversion procedures asked to them since CAF is a catholic website and a little respect to the website is to be expected. they can use PM instead. However, i was bombarded with hate replies, as though the EO posters owns the website. A little respect could prevented things. Listening is a great virtue.
Quote from: Catholig on November 11, 2007, 11:45:16 PMHey Everyone, I post over at CAF, but came over here from a link on the new Eastern Catholicism forum. I just wanted to suggest - since I never was part of the thing at the Eastern Christianity forum that it would be interesting to post some thread similar to those (with the exception of any personal attacks) on here. I would be interested in seeing these apologetic arguments that are so powerful that no Latin could answer them.Catholig"A" thread? <chuckle>Take a few 'minutes' and peruse the 'Orthodox-Catholic Discussion' boards here. You'll find plenty; IIRC, the "Thou Art Peter' thread was a quite memorable.

The limb is strong, and the enemies don't shoot (well, at least the sane ones don't shoot much)...
8 - As noted elsewhere, the old EC forum has been pulled for review. We hope to return reference material to the new EC forum in short order.
The whole point in this life is NOT to be relevant, at least that is what I was taugh anyway.
And this in a way is reflected in their spirituality of service to the poor, vs our focus on the creation of saints in monastic struggle and prayer... Mother Theresa vs St. Gregory Palamas... Where theology is relegated to the classrooms of Scholasticism, and true spirituality in service to the poor... [Yet look what happened to poor Mother Theresa!]
I have to agree with my brethren that the closure of the Eastern Christianity Forum at CAF is a sad end to a place where dialogue did happen - although it was sometimes hot and heavy. Sadder still is the removal of the archived material from public accessibility. In addition to all of the debate, there were significant numbers of threads that involved no argumentation, but were purely informative and educational. They included whole threads heavy with photos of temples and iconostases that evidenced the heavenly beauty of which the Russian legates spoke on their return from Constantinople. Others were replete with links to all manner of informative sites and texts. The polemics of either side apart, it was a treasure trove of information - pure and simple.These past few days, I've been posting at CAF, something of which I've not done much in a while. But, in looking at the new Eastern Catholicism Forum, it seemed to be populated chiefly by Latin Catholics with little or no knowledge or understanding of the East, and appearing to have as their mission to "out" Eastern Catholics as really being Orthodox in disguise. Thus, I felt compelled to wade in and offer some accurate answers to the genuine queries, the baiting ones, and the outright strange ones. It's not something that I'll do for long, I don't think. It shows every indication of fast becoming the same type of forum that one sees on all the other Latin boards which have an Eastern Catholic forum - a place where the curious will come and innocently ask a question - only to receive an erroneous answer offered with certitude by a Latin Catholic, based on what he "once heard" or "remembers reading". And looking at the few lonely threads regarding Orthodoxy on the Non-Catholic Religions Forum there is too depressing to deserve comment... Many years,Neil
I believe that C Answers found themselves in a quandary. I cannot help but to see myself as an example. ...Peace and blessings to all!Mickey
I believe that C Answers found themselves in a quandary. I cannot help but to see myself as an example. Born and raised Roman Catholic, I canonically switched to the Ruthenian Catholic Church after 35 + years. As a Byzantine Catholic, I was exposed to everything Orthodox. When I found C Answers, I was a staunch defender of Rome and I debated rigorously with the Orthodox members in defence of communion with Rome. At times I had some monumental battles--hi Bob! But as I studied the faith, I slowly came to learn that my arguments were not holding as much water as I had anticipated. After much study, prayer, and discernment I came home to Holy Orthodoxy. Suddenly, I found myself shoulder to shoulder with the same people that I vigorously opposed. The Roman Catholics were not pleased. I received some disconcerting private messages.In short, I discovered that you cannot oppose the truth. Holy Orthodoxy effortlessly answers all Roman Catholic objections. The cause of my conversion was not the Orthodox posters at Catholic Answers. It was the Holy Spirit revealing the truth to my heart. Ironically, I believe that more people may consider Holy Orthodoxy after they witness the oppressive measures that were taken by the moderators. I learned much from my years on that forum. I thank all of my Orthodox and Eastern Catholic brethren for the wonderful information they contributed. And I ask forgiveness for all I may have offended.Special thanks to Arsenios and others who posted the information about the movie "Ostrov". I weep every time I watch it. This movie truly conveys the essence of Holy Orthodoxy!Peace and blessings to all!Mickey
Hi Mickey,Thanks for the beautiful testimonial. Your story seems so much like mine, I feel like we have known each other forever.

Bruxism is chronic, involuntary grinding or clenching of teeth. It usually occurs during sleep, but it may also occur while awake.
The exact cause of bruxism is unknown, but it is believed to be related to:
- Stress and anxiety
- Abnormal alignment of the teeth or jaws
Risk Factors
Bruxism is more common in people aged 40 years and younger. Women aged 27-40 years old are also likely to get bruxism.
Other factors that may increase your chance of bruxism include:
- Chronic stress or anxiety
- Pain
- Aggressive or competitive personality
- Smoking tobacco or drinking caffeinated beverages
- Abuse of drugs or alcohol , especially methamphetamines
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- Family member with bruxism
- Facial or oral trauma
- Use of psychiatric medications, especially antidepressants
- Prior serious head injury
- Complication resulting from a disorder, such as Huntington's or Parkinson's disease
Symptoms may include:
- Grinding sounds during sleep
- Teeth that are sensitive to heat, cold, or brushing
- Tense facial or jaw muscles
- Teeth that are worn down, flattened, fractured, or chipped
- Hairline cracks or wearing of the enamel on some teeth
- Sore teeth
- Swollen gums
- Headache, especially when waking in the morning
- Damage to the inside of the cheek—from biting or chewing
You will be asked about your symptoms and medical history. An examination of your teeth and jaw will be done. With bruxism, teeth will have flattened tips, excessive wear, thin enamel, or sensitivity. X-rays may be done to check for further damage to your teeth or the underlying bone.
Methods of treatment include:
Behavioral or Cognitive Treatment
This method focuses on changing behavior through various techniques, such as:
- Cognitive behavioral therapy
- Biofeedback
- Stress management
- Relaxation therapy or exercises
Orthodontic Treatment
The dentist may advise:
- A protective mouth appliance, such as a night guard. It can absorb the pressure of constant night grinding.
- Correction of misaligned teeth causing bruxism.
Medication is only recommended for short-term use. Medications may include:
- Muscle relaxants before sleep
- Mild sleeping aids
- Injection of botulinum toxin (Botox) into jaw muscle—for severe cases or if other treatments are not working
Bruxism that is not treated may result in gum damage, tooth loss, and jaw-related disorders.
The same methods used to treat bruxism can be used to prevent the condition. In addition, avoid caffeinated drinks at night.
Make sure to see your dentist regularly for check-ups.

Tomorrow is Baked Perfection's one year anniversary. I honestly can not believe that I have been blogging for a year. To be honest with you, I did not think I would make it a year. There were definitely times I was ready to throw in the towel, but then I would get some great comments or a really nice email and it would remind me why I started this blog in the first place. To celebrate my blog reaching the one year mark, I decided I would make a layer cake. Up until this point I had not posted any layer cakes on Baked Perfection. The closest I ever came were cupcakes and the Orange Yogurt Loaf Cake I posted a couple weeks ago. The cake I chose to honor this occasion with was a truly amazing tripe layer Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting and a Chocolate Peanut Butter Glaze. I found it on Smitten Kitchen last year and had actually planed on making it for my birthday last November. I never had the chance to make this cake for my birthday so I knew this was the perfect time to break it out. I decided I would invite some friends over to have a cook out on my apartment's roof top terrace and we would have the cake for dessert. Let me tell you....this cake was amazing! I can not say enough about it. The entire cake was devoured and it actually caused me a little sadness today because I wanted a slice! This cake is rich and will go well with a glass of milk; if you know a chocolate peanut butter cake then this cake is for them. My friends and I loved this cake!
Sour Cream-Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting and Chocolate-Peanut Butter Glaze
recipe from: Sky High: Irresistible Triple-Layer Cakes as seen on: Smitten Kitchen
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/2 cups sugar
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, preferably Dutch process
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup neutral vegetable oil, such as canola, soybean or vegetable blend
1 cup sour cream
1 1/2 cups water
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 eggs
1/2 cup coarsely chopped peanut brittle ( Like Deb, I skipped this)
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottoms and sides of three 8-inch round cakepans. Line the bottom of each pan with a round of parchment or waxed paper and butter the paper.
2. Sift the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt into a large bowl. Whisk to combine them well. Add the oil and sour cream and whisk to blend. Gradually beat in the water. Blend in the vinegar and vanilla. Whisk in the eggs and beat until well blended. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and be sure the batter is well mixed. Divide among the 3 prepared cake pans.
3. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a cake tester or wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out almost clean. Let cool in the pans for about 20 minutes. Invert onto wire racks, carefully peel off the paper liners, and let cool completely. (Like Deb, I put the cake layers in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up before frosting)
4. To frost the cake, place one layer, flat side up, on a cake stand or large serving plate. Spread 2/3 cup cup of the Peanut Butter Frosting evenly over the top. Repeat with the next layer. Place the last layer on top and frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting.
5. To decorate with the Chocolate–Peanut Butter Glaze, put the cake plate on a large baking sheet to catch any drips. Simply pour the glaze over the top of the cake, and using an offset spatula, spread it evenly over the top just to the edges so that it runs down the sides of the cake in long drips. Refrigerate, uncovered, for at least 30 minutes to allow the glaze and frosting to set completely. Remove about 1 hour before serving. Decorate the top with chopped peanut brittle.
Peanut Butter Frosting
Makes about 5 cups
10 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature
5 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
2/3 cup smooth peanut butter, preferably a commercial brand
1. In a large bowl with an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar 1 cup at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition and scraping down the sides of the bowl often. Continue to beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes.
2. Add the peanut butter and beat until thoroughly blended.
Chocolate-Peanut Butter Glaze
Makes about 1 1/2 cups
8 ounces seimsweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 cup half-and-half
1. In the top of d double boiler or in a bowl set over simmering water, combine the chocolate, peanut butter, and corn syrup. Cook, whisking often, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
2. Remove from the heat and whisk in the half-and-half, beating until smooth. Use while still warm.

Live Like a Leaf
A version of this article appears in the January/February 2009 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
January 03, 2009
The Leaf Community is the first sustainable community created in Italy.
In a world of growing economic complexity, where the consumption of goods and resources is quickly increasing, communities need to find sustainable solutions to economic challenges. In order to survive, we have to change the way we think and act. We have to give greater value to the things we consume in everyday life, and we have to recognize and honor the link between human beings and the natural environment. The Leaf Community represents a real change—a place where people and nature meet. The Leaf Community came about because a group of innovators were determined to create a positive relationship between technology and nature. A focus on tradition and innovation characterizes the community—the first eco-sustainable, completely integrated community in Italy, inaugurated on June 25, 2008. It is called the Leaf Community because, like a real leaf, it creates and distributes the energy it needs to live and thrive. In the Leaf Community, energy is captured from the sun, water, air, and earth, and is transformed, stored, and released through a distribution network—just as it is in a leaf. In the Leaf Community, it's possible to live in a zero carbon house, travel in an ...

Principal Proposed Uses
Other Proposed Uses
Muira puama is a bush native to the Brazilian Amazon rain forest. Its bark and roots have been used traditionally for a variety of medicinal purposes, including impotence in men, loss of libido in women, nerve problems (including paralysis and tremor), anxiety, digestive problems, and arthritis.
What is Muira Puama Used for Today?
Explorers brought muira puama to Europe, where it became popular primarily as a treatment for impotence . However, there has been no reliable scientific evaluation of the effectiveness of this herb.
One study is commonly cited as showing that muira puama is more effective for impotence than the drug yohimbine (from the herb yohimbe ). 1 However, this study actually shows nothing at all. It was an open trial , in which all participants took muira puama. The researchers simply compared the benefits seen in this trial to the benefits seen in other trials in which people took yohimbine. From a scientific perspective, this is not permissible. The placebo effect is strong, and varies from study to study. One can assume without even performing the experiment that if men with sexual dysfunction are given a treatment that they believe might help them, they will be helped. To determine whether muira puama is helpful for impotence would require a double-blind , placebo-controlled study. To determine whether it is more effective than yohimbine would require a double-blind study in which some people took muira puama and some took yohimbine. Since no double-blind studies of muira puama have been reported at all, use of this herb has to be regarded as entirely speculative. (For more information on why double-blind studies are essential, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies? )
Weak evidence hints that muira puama may be helpful for enhancing mental function by increasing brain levels of acetylcholine, but this evidence is far too preliminary to indicate effectiveness. 2,3
Muira puama is generally taken in the form of a liquid alcohol extract. Follow label instructions for dosage.
Safety Issues
From what limited evidence that is available, it does not appear that use of muira puama commonly causes significant side effects. However, comprehensive formal safety evaluation has not been conducted. For this reason, muira puama should not be used by pregnant or nursing women, young children, or individuals with severe liver or kidney disease.

Clubfoot is a deformity of the foot that causes the foot to turn inward and downward. The Achilles tendon becomes tight, which pulls the heel upward toward the leg and prevents the foot from being able to sit flat on the ground. A clubfoot is usually smaller than a normal-sized foot.
Clubfoot is caused by a deformity in the development of the muscles, tendons, and bones of the foot. It is present at birth. The cause of clubfoot is unknown. There is some belief that clubfoot can be inherited in some cases. It is not thought to be caused by position in the uterus.
Risk Factors
Clubfoot occurs more often in men than in women. Because the cause of clubfoot is not understood, not many of the risk factors for this condition are known. However, having a family history of clubfoot may increase your chance of developing it.
Symptoms include:
At birth, 1 or both feet that:
- Turn inward and downward, and will not straighten
- Are slightly smaller than normal
- Calf muscle slightly smaller than normal
Clubfoot is easily diagnosed during a physical examination, but an x-ray of the foot will also be taken. The condition can often be diagnosed before birth during an ultrasound examination.
Clubfoot can be corrected, but it is best to start treatment as early as possible—sometimes right after birth. Treatment options include:
With casting, the foot is manually moved into a better position. It is placed in a series of casts. A new cast is put on every week for 5-10 weeks to stretch the soft tissues of the foot and reshape it.
After the initial casting procedure is completed, a brace is used at night and during naps.
More extensive surgery may be done to correct the deformed tendons and muscles in severe cases that do not respond to casting. When necessary, surgery is most commonly done within the first year of life.

The Electoral Commission (EC) has announced that the compilation of the new Voters' register has not been cancelled.
A section of the media had reported that the exercise scheduled for April 25, had been cancelled due to the outbreak of the deadly coronavirus in Ghana.
But the Commission in a statement said plans are far advanced for the successful take-off of the registration process.
However, it said in view of the ban imposed on public gatherings by President Akufo-Addo, a new date for the registration will be announced in due course.

Calcium is the most prevalent mineral in the human body. About 99% of the body's calcium resides in the bones and teeth, and the remaining 1% is found in other body fluids and cells.
Calcium's functions include:
- Builds bones, both in length and strength
- Helps bones remain strong by slowing the rate of bone loss with age
- Helps muscles contract
- Helps regulate the heart beat
- Plays a role in normal nerve function, transfers nerve impulses
- Helps blood clot during bleeding
- Builds healthy teeth (in kids)
Recommended Intake
The Institute of Medicine offers these recommendations:
Calcium Deficiency
In childhood, not getting enough calcium may interfere with growth. A severe deficiency may keep children from reaching their potential adult height. Even a mild deficiency over a lifetime can affect bone density and bone loss, which increases the risk for osteoporosis as an adult.
If you do not consume enough calcium, your body will draw from the storage in your bones in order to supply enough calcium for its other functions: nerve transmission, muscle contraction, heartbeat, and blood clotting.
Symptoms of a calcium deficiency include:
- Intermittent muscle contractions or cramps
- Muscle pain
- Muscle spasms
- Numbness or tingling in the hands and feet
- Rickets in children
- Osteoporosis in adults
Calcium Toxicity
Very large doses over a prolonged period of time may cause kidney stones and poor kidney function. Your body may not absorb other minerals, such as iron, magnesium, and zinc, properly. These problems could occur from consuming too much through a calcium supplement, not from milk or other calcium-rich foods. The tolerable upper intake level (UL) depends on age.
Major Food Sources
Dairy foods—milk, yogurt, and some cheeses—are the best dietary sources of calcium. These foods are also rich in vitamin D, which helps the body absorb calcium.
Absorption of calcium from some other dietary sources is not as great as that from dairy foods. Specifically, dark green vegetables contain oxalates, and grains contain phytates, which can bind with calcium and decrease their absorption.
Read food labels to determine the specific calcium levels of these foods.
Health Implications
Bone Health and Osteoporosis Prevention
Calcium is essential to build and maintain strong bones at all stages of life. Bone growth begins at conception, and bones grow longer and wider until well into the 20s. After this type of growth is complete, bones gain in strength and density as they continue to build up to peak bone mass by about age 30. From this point on, as a natural part of the aging process, bones slowly lose mass. Calcium is essential to slow this natural loss and stave off the onset of osteoporosis—a disease in which bones become fragile and more likely to break.
Tips for Increasing Your Calcium Intake
- When making oatmeal or other hot cereal, use milk instead of water.
- Add powdered milk to hot cereal, casseroles, baked goods, and other hot dishes.
- Make your own salad dressing by combining low-fat plain yogurt with herbs.
- Add tofu (processed with calcium) to soups and pasta sauce.
- If you like fish, eat canned fish with bones on crackers or bread.
- For dessert, try low-fat frozen yogurt, ice cream, or pudding.
- In baked goods, replace half of the fat with plain yogurt.
Taking Supplements
If you are unable to meet your calcium needs through dietary sources, consider a calcium supplement. Some points to remember when choosing and using a calcium supplement include:
- Check the label because the amount of calcium differs among products.
- Avoid supplements with dolomite or bone meal. They may contain lead.
- Check your vitamin D intake, too. This vitamin is essential for absorption of calcium. Milk is a great source of vitamin D, as is sunlight.
- If you take both calcium and iron supplements or a multivitamin with iron, take them at different times of the day. They can impair each other's absorption. This is also true of chromium, manganese, magnesium, and zinc.
- Do not take more than 500 mg of calcium at a time. Taking the calcium with food can help absorption.

Principal Proposed Uses
- Raising Glutathione Levels
Whey is one of the two major classes of protein in milk. (The other is casein, the "curds" of "curds and whey.") Proteins are made of amino acids, and whey contains high levels of the amino acid cysteine. This is the basis for many of its proposed uses. It also contains branched chain amino acids ( BCAAs ). However, while there is no question that whey is a highly digestible and rich protein source, there is no meaningful supporting evidence that it provides any specific health benefits.
When milk is converted into cheese, whey is the liquid that is left behind. There is no specific dietary requirement for whey, as the amino acids it contains are present in a wide variety of other foods, as well.
Therapeutic Uses
There are no well-documented medicinal uses of whey protein.
There is some evidence that whey can raise levels of glutathione . Glutathione is an antioxidant that the body manufactures to defend itself against free radicals. In certain diseases, glutathione levels may fall to below-normal levels. These conditions include cataracts , HIV , liver disease, diabetes , and various types of cancer. 1 This reduction of glutathione might in turn contribute to the symptoms or progression of the disease. To solve this problem, glutathione supplements have been recommended, but glutathione is essentially not absorbed at all when it is taken by mouth. 2 Whey protein may be a better solution. The body uses cysteine to make glutathione, and whey is rich in cysteine. Meaningful preliminary evidence suggests that whey can raise glutathione levels in people with cancer, hepatitis , or HIV . 3-8
However, while these are promising findings, one essential piece of evidence is lacking: there is no evidence as yet that this rise in glutathione produces any meaningful health benefits.
Whey protein has also been proposed as a bodybuilding aid , based partly on its high content of BCAAs . However, there is no more than minimal evidence that whey protein helps accelerate muscle mass development. 9-11 Furthermore, there is little evidence that whey protein is more effective for this purpose than any other protein. For example, one small double-blind study found evidence that both casein and whey protein were more effective than placebo at promoting muscle growth after exercise, but whey was no more effective than the far less expensive casein. 12 However, a single small study did find ergogenic benefits with whey as compared to casein. 32
One study looked at whether whey protein could help women with HIV build muscle mass . 13 Participants were divided into three groups: those who undertook a course of resistance exercise (weight lifting), those who took whey, and those who did both. Resistance exercise alone was just as effective as resistance exercise plus whey, while whey alone was not effective.
Whey contains alpha-lactalbumin, a protein that in turn contains high levels of the amino acid tryptophan. Tryptophan is the body's precursor to serotonin, and is thought to affect mental function. In a small double-blind study, use of alpha-lactalbumin in the evening improved morning alertness , perhaps by enhancing sleep quality. 14 Another small double-blind study found weak evidence that alpha-lactalbumin improved mental function in people sensitive to stress. 15 A third study failed to find that alpha-lactalbumin significantly improved memory in women experiencing premenstrual symptoms . 16
Very weak evidence hints that whey might help prevent cancer or augment the effectiveness of cancer treatment . 17-27
Infant formula based on pre-digested (hydrolyzed) whey protein is somewhat less allergenic than standard infant formula; this might reduce symptoms of colic28 and possibly decrease the risk that the infant will later develop allergies. 29,30
Safety Issues
As a constituent of milk, whey protein is presumed to be a safe substance. People with allergies to milk, however, are likely to be allergic to whey as well (even partially hydrolyzed forms of whey). 31

Prostatitis is inflammation of the prostate. The prostate is a walnut-sized gland in men that surrounds the urethra. It produces a fluid that is part of semen. There are three main types of prostatitis: acute bacterial, chronic bacterial, and chronic non-bacterial.
Acute bacterial prostatitis is the easiest form to treat, but it is also the least common. Symptoms include chills, fever, pain in the lower back and genital area, urinary frequency and urgency (often at night), burning or painful urination, and body aches. Examination of the urine shows white blood cells. Antibiotic treatment is highly successful for this form of prostatitis.
Chronic bacterial prostatitis resembles acute prostatitis, but it is milder and may go on for a long time (months or years). It is believed that chronic bacterial prostatitis is caused by a problem in the prostate that makes the gland a focus for infection. Antibiotic treatment usually relieves symptoms, but they often come back after treatment is stopped.
Chronic non-bacterial prostatitis, also known as chronic pelvic pain syndrome or prostatodynia, is the most common form of prostatitis. Unfortunately, it is also the least understood and the hardest to treat. Symptoms include urinary urgency, urinary frequency (especially at night), pain or burning while urinating, difficulty urinating, lower abdominal pain or pressure, rectal or perineal discomfort, lower back pain, painful ejaculation, and impotence. These symptoms may wax and wane for no obvious reason. Conventional medicine lacks a specific treatment for chronic non-bacterial prostatitis. Supportive treatments may be used, including stool softeners, pain medications, and warm sitz baths.
Proposed Natural Treatments for Prostatitis
Quercetin belongs to a class of water-soluble plant coloring agents called bioflavonoids , which have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Bioflavonoids have been investigated for a wide variety of medical uses. A study published in 1999 suggests that quercetin may be helpful for chronic non-bacterial prostatitis. In this double-blind trial, 30 men with fairly severe chronic non-bacterial prostatitis were given either quercetin (500 mg twice daily) or placebo for a month. 1 The results showed that participants given quercetin improved to a significantly greater extent than those in the placebo group. The greatest gains were seen in reduction of pain.
A special grass pollen extract has also shown promise. In a 6-month, double-blind study of 60 men with non-bacterial prostatitis, use of the grass pollen extract was more effective than placebo. 9 Grass pollen is better known as a treatment for benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) . All the other commonly used natural treatments for this condition have also been suggested for prostatitis. However, while there is reasonably good supporting evidence that some of these help BPH, the evidence regarding their use in prostatitis remains weak. For example, uncontrolled trials and other highly preliminary forms of evidence hint that the herb pygeum might be helpful for prostatitis. 6,7 Also, an open-controlled trial (using a no-treatment group) found indications that saw palmetto might be helpful for prostatitis; 8 however, an open comparative study found the drug finasteride more effective than the herb for this purpose. 2
Interestingly, a combination of herbal extracts (including Serenoa repens (@saw palmetto@), Urtica dioica (@neetle@), @curcumin@ and quercitin) may turn out to be modestly beneficial as additional treatment. In a trial of 143 men with chronic bacterial prostatitis, the preparation enhanced the effectiveness of a two-week course of antibiotic (prulifloxacin in this case). 11
Other herbs and supplements sometimes recommended for prostatitis, but that lack almost any supporting evidence, include bromelain , buchu , couch grass, cranberry , echinacea , eleutherococcus , garlic , goldenseal , lapacho , marshmallow , multivitamin/mineral supplements , pipsissewa, proteolytic enzymes , vitamin C , watermelon seed, and zinc .
Acupuncture and biofeedback have been tried as well. A study involving 89 men with chronic nonbacterial prostatitis, a 10-week trial of acupuncture was modestly more effective than sham (fake) acupuncture at relieving symptoms, both during treatment and for a period of 6 months following treatment. 10 In a randomized trial with 54 men, 7 weeks of acupuncture was associated with pain and symptom improvement compared to standard treatment of a 6-week course of an antibiotic and pain reliever.12
Herbs and Supplements to Use Only With Caution
Various herbs and supplements may interact adversely with drugs used to treat prostatitis. For more information on this potential risk, see the individual drug articles in the Drug Interactions section of this database.

Dart helps developers build fast HTML5 apps for the Web. Currently in Technology Preview (with a Beta release planned for this year), this open source project is building a "batteries included" developer platform that integrates a new language, libraries, an editor, a virtual machine, and a compiler (with JavaScript output).
History and Rationale
Before starting the Dart project, engineers Lars Bak and Kasper Lund were responsible for building V8, the original high-speed JavaScript engine now found in Chrome and used as the underlying technology in node.js. Their experience building high-performance virtual machines (including previous work on Java and Smalltalk VMs) led them to conclude that Web application performance and Web developer productivity could be significantly improved by introducing a new language and runtime for the Web. The result was the Dart project.
The Dart project was initiated to address these issues and to fulfill the needs of developers from all platforms, not just dedicated Web developers. The engineers on the Dart project want to make it easier to meet the new user demands of full-featured, beautiful, 60-FPS Web apps.
The Dart Language
The Dart language is designed for mass adoption, so it should be easy to use for a wide range of developers. It is an object-oriented language with classes, single inheritance, lexical scope, top-level functions, and a familiar syntax as shown in the following example.
class Point { num x, y; Point(this.x, this.y); num distanceTo(Point other) { var dx = x - other.x; var dy = y - other.y; return Math.sqrt(dx * dx + dy * dy); } } main() { var p = new Point(2, 3); var q = new Point(3, 4); print('distance from p to q = ${p.distanceTo(q)}'); }
Listing One: A small sample of Dart code.
The code in this listing includes the following:
Line 3: A constructor with handy sugar for the common "
this.x = x " pattern found in constructors.
Line 5: Omit the type annotation, because the editor can infer the local variable's type.
Line 11: Every Dart program starts with
Line 14: Notice the string interpolation for easy string creation.
While keeping things generally recognizable, Dart also introduces a few features that haven't been seen in a mainstream programming language.
Optional Types
Optional static types are perhaps the most interesting feature of Dart. Instead of the "guilty until proven innocent" experience that you get from mainstream statically typed languages, Dart trusts the developer. Think of Dart's static types as annotations or documentation. Tools such as the editor can use the types to give you early warnings and errors. But you have the option of using
var for dynamically typed variables when types can be inferred or when the developer can't express what they need to with a traditional type annotation. Gilad Bracha has provided more insight into Dart's optional static types.
