The diet of the elderly should contain a variety of foods. This is often a challenge because of past experience, eccentric likes and dislikes, economics, and the state of health of the teeth and oral cavity. Good teeth or dentures are very important to a healthy diet. Sometimes, whole food groups may be omitted because of inability to chew them. If chewing is a problem, more fresh vegetable juices should be drunk; pureed foods, particularly vegetables, and cooled whole-grain cereals will add a lot of nutrition. Even balanced protein-nutrient drinks may be better than not eating. All of these foods add water content to the diet as well.
Sufficient fluids and fiber are crucial to any elder's diet. Fluids are important to prevent constipation and dry skin. Keeping everything moving in the tissues, circulatory system, and intestinal tract is a vital part of feeling good. Stagnation due to poor flow and dehydration can shut us down physiologically and psychologically. Good flow on all levels is essential to regaining health and staying well. Fluid intake should be enough to produce three to four pints of urine a day. More water, herbal teas, juices, and soups, as well as fresh fruits and vegetables (all water-content foods) will help.
The older body usually uses fewer calories, while the percentage of body fat may rise. Problems of both underweight and overweight occur commonly in the elderly and are often harder to correct at this time of life. At this age, a little (5–10 pounds) excess weight is probably healthier than being underweight. Being too heavy, though, is hard on the bones; in addition, obesity increases the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer. The three health monitors we do not wish to let rise too much as we age are blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and weight. To maintain weight, it is wise to eat a diet containing the calories required for our ideal weight at ages 25–30. A nutritionist, dietitian, or doctor should be able to help with calculation of these caloric needs.
Remember, though, those calories need to contain nutrients. Some meats and dairy products may be used to obtain appropriate amounts of protein and vitamin B12. Supplemental amino acids with good levels of methionine and lysine are helpful for protein building when protein food intake or energy is low, since they may be more easily utilized as they do not need to go through digestion. It is important to include plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables (raw and steamed, and even vegetable juices and soups), and the whole-grain cereals and legumes. These high-nutrient foods contain some calcium and other nutrients that are helpful to bone health.
Older people who are not currently on a wholesome diet can make a slow transition over one or two months to more natural foods. This means a reduction of refined foods, canned and packaged foods, and devitalized foods. It may be helpful to make these changes gradually, so as to allay the threat of upheaval. Though it is more difficult to change our ways as we age, these positive changes are still possible and very helpful. Remember, if we eat vital foods, we will be vital!
Think of a few people in their 60s, 70s, or 80s. What do you think has led to their degeneration or to their health and vitality? What are you planning for your anti–aging program? Have you already begun?
Avoiding overeating and underactivity is important, because this nondynamic duo can be disastrous. Likewise, a poor appetite can result from lack of exercise with poor utilization and circulation of previously obtained nutrients. Exercise is necessary at all stages of life, and it is no different for the elderly. Not only will it improve the appetite and the desire for better foods, it may significantly improve our attitude toward life. Exercise is a key to bone health, helping prevent osteoporosis. It will also improve other functions—digestion, assimilation, and circulation, as well as muscle tone. Walking, swimming, and dancing are probably the best all-around exercises for older folks, though any may be suitable depending on past history and present condition. If you are not exercising regularly, it is wise to build up endurance slowly to a good active program. It will help in all walks of life.
Often there may not be as much enthusiasm for good nutrition, exercise, and life in general in the elderly. When the body is not working as well, it is not as much fun to take it out for a spin. That is why it is so important to care for ourselves well in earlier years so that we can maintain our vitality and spirit. Creating more support programs for the elderly, plus training programs for those who care for the elderly, will help our society and each of us in our later years.
Loneliness and isolation from family and other loved ones are common for the elderly. Death of a spouse may leave the remaining partner without the enthusiasm or capability to care for him or herself. Encouraging and supporting these folks to attend group or community meals and find new friends can make a big difference. Sharing meals and visiting with relatives may have a special meaning and be a primary encouragement to living. Extended family and local community meetings and meals, especially if they have good food, can be very supportive to many elderly people. Engaging one another in exercise activities, such as walking, hikes, or classes, will help in socializing with peers and boosting morale. Interactive, nurturing therapies, such as counseling or massage, can be very helpful at reducing resistances and enhancing physical energy and flexibility. Our society also needs to learn better how to incorporate this growing age group (in years and in numbers of people) into the functioning community. Connecting our elderly people with the support or care of young children, I believe, is an ideal approach. Young children and elderly people often seem to have a special magic together.
For single people who cook mainly for themselves, here are some suggestions to economize, be practical, and still eat well. Sharing cooking and meals with a friend or two will allow easier preparation, easier shopping, and reduced costs, especially if the friends take turns shopping and cooking. The more people that food is prepared for, the lower the cost per person. If you are cooking just for yourself, buy smaller quantities of food and prepare simpler meals. With many foods, it is wiser to make extra portions, enough for a day or two. Soups, grains, and casseroles will refrigerate well and can be used over two or three days. Meat dishes and other foods can be packaged in individual meal sizes and frozen for later use. If the appetite is not too good, it is still wise to eat regularly, with smaller, nutritious meals. Many quick-fix foods should be on hand; eggs, yogurt, and instant whole-grain cereals are some examples. Nutritional yeast and molasses can be used in blender fruit drinks, with or without milk, a raw egg, and a piece or two of fruit such as banana or pear (if this is supported by the digestion; it's not perfect food combining).
Prune juice and bran are common laxative foods to help keep the elimination regular and avoid the problem of constipation. A morning or evening drink made with 4–6 ounces of prune juice, 2–4 ounces of water, a quarter or half lemon, and 2 tablespoons of wheat or oat bran should do the trick.
Overall, good nutrition is a vital part of any senior's health plan—one of the best buys in the health insurance market. Maintaining regular activity and exercise is equally important. Drinking plenty of pure water, avoiding processed and chemical foods, and eating lots of fiber foods, such as the fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, are basic nutritional guidelines for staying healthy. Avoiding or minimizing the use of unnecessary pharmaceutical medications and other drugs, such as nicotine, caffeine, and alcohol, is also important. Most of the above suggestions will help to prevent or slow the aging process. Additional antioxidant nutrients are also a good idea. Many of these free-radical scavengers are included in this program (they are further discussed in the Anti-Aging program in Chapter 16).
There are many herbs that may be helpful to aging people, including ginseng root, Gingko biloba, and gotu kola leaf. Ginseng has long been used in the Orient to relieve fatigue and strengthen people. Known as the "longevity" herb, it is used regularly by elderly Chinese men and women to slow the aging process. Ginseng tea bags, powder, or concentrate can be used in hot water to make tea and a couple of cups drunk daily. One or two capsules of powdered ginseng root can be taken twice daily to give a feeling of greater strength. Raw pieces of the hard root can be sucked or chewed, but this is not as potent as the tea. Be aware that excessive use of ginseng root can elevate the blood pressure (as can licorice root) and possibly irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa. The trace mineral germanium has been found to be in high concentration in ginseng. Gingko biloba, another popular oriental herb from the leaves of an ancient tree, has been more recently used in this country to help with circulatory problems, senility, and hearing disorders.
Gotu kola herb is more popular in India, where it also has an ancient tradition. It acts as a brain stimulant, strengthening the memory and other mental powers. Gotu kola can be taken as a tea or in capsules, by itself or with other herbs. In Western medicine, a drug that has been fairly popular among the elderly population (as well as with young men who want to appear alert and quick-witted) is hydergine. It is a cerebral stimulant that improves memory and mental clarity, with very few side effects. It is now used very commonly in people with senility and poor memory.
Among elderly men, prostate enlargement affecting urine flow and possibly leading to prostate surgery is very common. A swelling of the fibromuscular prostate gland can result from such factors as a high-protein, high-fat diet and insufficient activity, both physical and sexual. A diet that is low in chemicals, fried foods, and fats in general and high in fresh foods with good liquid and nutrient content will help things to move better and keep the prostate healthy. Regular exercise and stretching, especially yoga-type inverted positions, and maintaining some sexual activity also offer preventive benefits. Nutrients such as vitamins A, C, and E and other antioxidants, especially zinc, may be helpful in reducing or preventing prostate problems. Herbs such as saw palmetto berries, corn silk tea, parsley, ginger root, marshmallow root, juniper berries, and uva ursi have also been helpful to many men with prostate problems. An encapsulated formula with some of these herbs taken three times daily or a tea drunk two or three times daily could be tried for a month or two. Refer to an herbal text for further information on these and other herbs related to the prostate or the aging process.
Most people in their later years would be helped by an easy-to-digest, well-balanced vitamin and mineral formula for nutritional insurance. There are very few people over 60 who do not have some symptoms of early chronic illness—the body degenerates slowly, blood vessels get clogged, senses may diminish, and digestion and assimilation may weaken. So it is wise to use a nutritional supplement to ensure the best chance for the body to get plenty of what it needs for proper functioning. Many of the nutrients offer some protection against inflammation, regulate blood clotting, improve immune function, and improve fat metabolism by helping the body to handle cholesterol and triglycerides. Several high-quality powdered and encapsulated general formulas, which are easier to digest and assimilate, are available from companies such as Nutricology in San Leandro, California; DeBuren International in Mill Valley, California; Karuna Corporation in Novato, California; and TwinLab, in Ronkonkoma, New York. There are many others; check your local health food store or pharmacy.
As with the other programs, the nutrient ranges in the table here are from minimum needs, which may be obtained through diet and/or a basic daily supplement, to optimum insurance levels, which may require higher-dose formulas or even vitamin injections. For the elderly, because of poor digestive function, a powdered general formula taken a few times daily will improve the chances of absorbing sufficient amounts of many important, though hard-to-assimilate nutrients. Many seniors are also helped by digestive aids such as extra hydrochloric acid prior to meals and pancreatic enzymes in between meals to improve the breakdown of food. Some of the formulas I mentioned above, such as DeBuren's Optimum I and II, also contain these digestive aids to help the nutrients be better utilized.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why should we choose Rydell Studios for our wedding?
We absolutely love what we do! Our work has meaning and that's the sole purpose for why we do it. To be a part of and capture what we know will be one of the best days of your lives is an incredible honor. Typically, on the day of you'll see us smiling as we know you'll look back on the very footage we're capturing and treasure it as time goes by. We take pride in our work and know it's something you'll always have.
How do you interact with us during the day?
Our style is very observatory. We like to capture the day as it unfolds from little moments of children playing to reactions of those watching the main events happening. Occasionally, at opportune moments throughout the day we may ask how you're feeling, but typically you will be so busy the day of that you may hardly notice us!
What are the guest interviews offered in the Platinum Package?
Throughout the day when possible and during the reception we provide your guests with the opportunity to say something special. Many people will congratulate you, share stories, and offer words of wisdom as a newlywed couple that you will remember for years to come.
Will you attend our rehearsal?
If your wedding is located within 20-30 minutes of Hazleton and our schedule allows for it, we will most likely attend your rehearsal. This allows us to develop a "game plan" for the big day to know who the key players are (bridal party/parents, etc) and to figure out the best placement of our cameras at the ceremony. Some churches may have strict rules about where we can be the day of so the sooner we know this the better! It's also a great way for us all to become a little familiar with each other before the big day.
Do you have lighting equipment to accommodate a more dimly-lit event?
Yes, we do have lighting equipment if necessary. Our cameras and lenses also allow us to capture events in less than optimal lighting situations. See our videos for examples.
What kind of equipment do you typically bring with you on the day-of?
We carry two Canon HDSLR (HD) cameras, Panasonic HVX, multiple lenses, tripods, monopod, shotgun mic, vocal microphone, and a wireless lavaliere mic to capture the vows.
Do you give access to your raw footage?
We believe we do such a great job editing that it's just more fun for you to see the finished video! For this reason, raw footage is not available. The final DVD consists of the best footage – let us do the hard work!
Do you require a minimum number of hours to book?
Yes. Our packages start at a minimum of 6 hours.
How far can you travel?
We service the greater Philadelphia and surrounding areas including Lehigh Valley and the Poconos, but we'll go pretty much anywhere if the price is right. We do charge a $250 travel fee for weddings being held more than a two hour's drive from Hazleton to cover gas, mileage, and our time spent traveling.
How much do we need to put down to reserve our wedding date when we sign our contract?
A deposit of $200 is required to book your wedding date with us. The deposit is non-refundable and comes out of your total.
What is the booking process?
After sending you our handy contract form we'll email you back and forth to get the ball rolling. We'll usually try to schedule a meeting with you in person (if you are located within 20-30 minutes of Hazleton) and/or a skype meeting to get to know you both as a couple. We do limit the amount of weddings we book each year since this allows us to provide a more personalized, boutique service by having the time to get to know our clients. For this reason, we are selective with whom we book.
How long does it take for the client to get the final video?
Usually final videos are delivered within 3 months of your event, but never longer than 6 months, depending on our editing schedule. We take pride in our work and make sure that your wedding video is perfect before we send it out. Here's an idea of what we're actually doing on the post-side of things: Media Import, Transcoding, Tagging and Organizing footage from multiple cameras, Planning, Cutting/Editing, Syncing multiple sources of audio and video, Review & Corrections, Color Grading & Stylizing, Export compression for DVD, Testing, Interactive DVD menu design & creation, DVD label creation (for DVDs and cases), DVD Burning/Testing as well as Packaging & Shipping. These steps also don't include the time invested in order to make the best possible creative choices.
What does the personalized DVD mean?
We take into account the colors and fonts used in your wedding and incorporate that into the design of our cases, DVDs, and menus. In order to assure the highest quality, we mail out the master DVD to a company in Florida to have them professionally printed. This process takes a little longer, but we believe it's worth the wait!
Example DVD Case:

|Nationality, Immigration and Asylum Bill
Angela Eagle: My hon. Friend's position is not necessarily as incompatible with the Government's as she believes. This is an enabling power. I realise that the Committee must have a certain amount of trust that the Government will not use it tomorrow. We are taking a broad power that enables us at some time in the future, as the system evolves and if it seems appropriate, to cut off this option. We do not intend to do so immediately. We could focus on particular communities, as my hon. Friend suggested, before we even consider using the enabling power. Indeed, we would have to come back to Parliament to trigger it.
My hon. Friend's points are not necessarily incompatible with the clause, but there would have to be some trust that sudden decisions would not be taken at Government level that would rule out some of her important suggestions—namely, whether we could improve contact with particular communities and whether reporting would deal with tracking the asylum claims of those on cash only support.
Mr. Allan: I have a great deal of sympathy with the points made by the hon. Member for Regent's Park and Kensington, North (Ms Buck) about the effect on communities already here. Is it the Minister's intention
Column Number: 201to prevent new people from taking the cash only option or to withdraw it from those already claiming it? That is an important distinction.
Angela Eagle: We do not want to introduce the enabling power overnight for everyone. If we decided to move towards it in the future, we would have to consider the practicalities. The first step would be to remove cash only support from all asylum seekers coming through at the time, and then to consider whether we wished to withdraw it gradually from those who have already taken advantage of it. The hon. Gentleman will know that we still have the remnants of the interim scheme, where decisions tend to be about practical administrative doability rather than policy neatness.
Mr. Parmjit Dhanda (Gloucester): Does the withdrawal of the support only option apply only to centres such as London or also to dispersal areas? I have had representations from a refugee organisation in Gloucestershire, which says that many people there receive support only.
Angela Eagle: We know from the figures I gave earlier that 70 per cent of those involved in choosing the cash only option—that is what we must call it now that the vouchers have gone—live in Greater London, and 30 per cent live elsewhere, although I cannot give my hon. Friend a rundown of precisely where. The clause allows us to remove all cash only options and require people either to be dispersed if they require assistance from NASS or to go into accommodation centres.
At the beginning of this process, ahead of the pilot, we do not know how the accommodation centre proposals will develop. We must have the flexibility to change the old system to make it compatible with new developments. It is an enabling power that would in theory remove all other options, but as I said to the hon. Member for Sheffield, Hallam, if we choose to use it, we will consider carefully how to implement it. It would be sensible to introduce it for all new asylum claims.
Mr. Dhanda: Are we talking about removing cash only support for people already in dispersal areas such as Gloucestershire?
Angela Eagle: I have had a figure put in front of me, which I will read out to the Committee in case it is helpful. The number of people given cash only support in the south-west region in December last year was 350—I hope that Gloucester is in the south-west region. I hope that that gives my hon. Friend an idea of the numbers involved. The problem is far greater in central London, and we need to consider the effect of the provision on dispersal. Were we to exercise the power fully, it would end cash only support, but as I hope I have made clear, we do not intend to do that immediately. Were we to decide to trigger it, we would consider the practicalities of doing so.
Mr. Allan: I am interested in what the Minister says about adopting a pragmatic approach. I hope that she is sincere in that, because I suspect that from a pragmatic perspective the withdrawal of the cash only option will prove counter-productive, for many of the reasons given by the hon. Member for Regent's Park
Column Number: 202and Kensington, North. I fear that the withdrawal of the cash only option would not disperse the 17,000 asylum seekers in London who are receiving it: it would merely leave them in London, but poorer. I hope that the Minister will consider seriously whether that would be the net result before proceeding with the provision.
The other valid concern, which was raised by the hon. Member for Gloucester (Mr. Dhanda), is the possibility that the 350 asylum seekers receiving cash only support in Gloucestershire might want to be supported by larger communities in London if cash only support were withdrawn. They may be able to live in Gloucestershire under the cash only option because they are staying with a Chinese or a Sri Lankan family, for example, but that might no longer be sustainable if the support were withdrawn. They might not want another accommodation option and might withdraw back to London. All those issues need to be looked at before proceeding down the route of the clause, which is fraught with difficulties.
The Minister referred to savings delivered elsewhere, which was a great phrase in the Immigration and Asylum Act 1999. There is always a perception that savings will materialise from one part of the system to enable us to put more into another part. The Government admitted in the proceedings of the previous Act that while the NASS accommodation options would be much more expensive than the benefits system, they would give an overall net saving because the time scales would be reduced: asylum seekers would use them for only a few months rather than for long periods. That has not happened.
Mr. Neil Gerrard (Walthamstow): Is it not logical that there will not be savings, because the only way that the power could be introduced would be for NASS accommodation centres to offer accommodation to every asylum seeker? NASS would have to provide at least 17,000 more places, because otherwise we would cut off assistance for people who do not have any other means of support.
Mr. Allan: The hon. Gentleman is entirely right. Thinking it through, if the assumption is that there would still be savings with the more expensive option of NASS accommodation for asylum seekers when they arrive in the country, because the time scale would be shorter, giving an individual a cash only option with a shorter time scale would be cheaper still. Overall savings are possible, although I am sceptical. Until I see savings materialise from the 1999 Act, I will not predict savings from this legislation. It would always be cheaper to go for the cash only option. It stands to reason, as we can see the figures.
Angela Eagle: Does the hon. Gentleman agree that there would be far less reason to trigger the powers if we could reach the stage where reporting was working effectively, and if we could demonstrate that cash only asylum claims were dealt with as quickly as those in accommodation centres? We have yet to trial accommodation centres, and we may be able to make real savings and take speedy and effective decisions. I certainly hope so. It is wise to have the power to phase out other parts of previous systems in favour of more effective ones. I do not yet know
Column Number: 203whether there is potential in accommodation centres for achieving that. The pilot will show that. However, he must admit that having the power to respond appropriately is reasonable at this juncture.
Mr. Allan: I appreciate the Minister's reasonable and rational clarification. She appears to be suggesting that there may be no need to withdraw the option if the reporting arrangements work and the claims can be processed reasonably quickly, and if we can therefore deal with the clustering of asylum seekers who are taking the option. That is helpful, if that is what she is saying. However, there is a fear that the Government would be cutting their nose off to spite their face if they withdrew this option, which may be cheaper and better for asylum seekers, in order to answer criticisms about dispersal and to try to speed up the process. We fear that that would be a blunt instrument, and would not work.
However, I appreciate the tone of the Minister's response and her assurance that this is an enabling power and that the Government will carefully consider the circumstances. I do not wish to press the matter to a vote, although we will continue to examine carefully how the Government take the debate forward. I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Clause 34 ordered to stand part of the Bill.

Website Offers Portal For American Businesses To Partner With Netherlands Food Industry
Staying connected to the biggest food-related news coming out of the Netherlands is easier than ever. By logging onto HollandFoodPartner.com, American businesses are able to access a portal to the Dutch food industry.
The agro-food industry is the largest contributor to the Dutch economy, responsible for 10 percent of the Dutch gross domestic product (GDP) and 21 percent of the country's exports. The value of Dutch agro-food exports to the U.S. is more than $2 billion.
The entire food chain is present in the Netherlands, from new seed and ingredient development to processing and packaging. This large community of industrial and academic players has led to a dynamic, research-intensive sector that has spurred many new innovations focused on sustainable production and foods with additional health benefits.
Additionally, the Dutch food sector works hard to increase animal welfare and food safety, as well as to understand better the interaction between behavior and nutrition. Examples of some of these exciting new developments are featured on HollandFoodPartner.com, which provides U.S. businesses with investment opportunities, trade information and the latest developments in food and nutrition research in the Netherlands.
"The Netherlands has a vibrant agricultural sector, second only to the US in terms of exports around the world," says Ambassador Rudolf Bekink. "HollandFoodPartner.com is a great tool for business leaders to learn more about the Dutch agri-food industry and find promising investment opportunities to launch or expand their operations in the Netherlands."
The website highlights food-related developments out of the Netherlands, including:
- How the Netherlands is a leader in sustainable agriculture and environmentally friendly and energy-efficient greenhouses.
- The creation of sensor tags to track food while in transit to reduce waste.
- Ongoing research into how mealworms can provide the world's growing population with a good source of protein.
- Business transactions that allow Dutch companies to continue growing revenues to supply food for a growing world.
The website is a partnership between the Royal Netherlands Embassy and the Netherlands Foreign Investment Agency. Holland Food Partner is also on Facebook, and Twitter.

Oregon State Trooper shot; suspect charged with Attempted Aggravated Murder
CRESWELL, Ore. (KVAL) - A 30-year-old man faces accusations he shot an Oregon State Police trooper Tuesday afternoon.
Deputies arrested Edward Paul Dungan, 30, on charges of Attempted Aggravated Murder, Unlawful Use of a Weapon, and Unauthorized Use of a Motor Vehicle.
He was arraigned Wednesday on those and additional charges of Attempting to Elude Police and Reckless Driving.
The trooper got shot while investigating a possible stolen car around 1:20 p.m. on Highway 99 near England Road, south of Creswell.
The trooper has been identified as Gerald Ellis, a Senior Trooper assigned to the Springfield Area Command Patrol Division. He has been with Oregon State Police for 8 years.
"As with all law enforcement involved deadly force events, we are unable to provide further details while the Interagency Deadly Force Investigation Team investigates the incident," the Lane County Sheriff's Office said. "Any future information will come from the District Attorney's Office at the conclusion of the investigation."
Deadly Force Investigations
Investigations into the use of deadly force by law enforcement in Oregon are governed under Senate Bill 111, passed by the 2007 Oregon Legislature.
Lane County adopted guidelines under the law in 2008.
After a law enforcement officer uses deadly force, the county's Interagency Deadly Force Investigation Team must follow the state-approved protocols.
At a minimum that includes:
- Conducting eyewitness interviews
- Collecting evidence
- Documenting the scene
- Performing background interviews with the officers involved.

Media Advisory
APTA Hosts Media Conference Call June 4
As the demand for public transit continues to increase while governments face tightened budgets, a series of questions need to be answered. What are the first quarter public transit ridership results for 2012 and what does that mean in terms of ridership trends? As Congress begins Conference Committee negotiations to pass a multi-year surface transportation bill, how should this ridership trend impact those discussions? How can public transit systems help ensure our communities remain sustainable? What are the current state and the prospect for future growth of high-speed rail in the United States?
These questions, and others, will be addressed during an exclusive media call hosted by APTA President Michael Melaniphy, featuring Gary Thomas, DART President/Executive Director and Chairman of APTA, Joseph Szabo, Federal Railroad Administrator; and Therese McMillan, Deputy Administrator.
This informative, on-the-record call will help to kick off APTA's 2012 Rail Conference in Dallas, TX from June 3-6. The conference addresses all of the pressing challenges facing rail and transit today – including how to integrate transportation and sustainability, as well as how best to implement high-speed rail plans in order to generate a return on investment.

Reports High Gold Recovery Rate from Namdini Project Metallurgy
- 99% gold recovered from oxide samples
- 95% gold recovered from transition samples
- 84% gold recovered from fresh samples
- These high gold recovery rates indicate favourable metallurgy
The primary purpose of the cyanide leach test work was to establish what level of gold could be recovered by a simple cyanidation leach process.
Each sample selected was thoroughly mixed by passing the entire sample three times through the riffle splitter, then splitting off a ~2.0 kg sample.
The samples were weighed, labelled and bagged individually and sent to the SGS Laboratory, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso for Bottle Roll (BLEG) cyanide leach tests. Each entire sample was pulverised to a fineness with 91% passing through a 75 micron mesh. Each sample was assayed by Fire Assay in triplicate by the FAA505 method.
A 2,000 gm pulverised sample was then bottle rolled for 24 hours in a cyanide mixture and compared with the fire assays to obtain estimates of recoveries.

SOURCE: MAHLE International GmbH
February 04, 2010 08:05 ET
STUTTGART, GERMANY--(Marketwire - February 4, 2010) - The supervisory boards of MAHLE GmbH and
BEHR GmbH & Co. KG agreed upon the acquisition of 60 percent of the shares
in BEHR Industry GmbH & Co. KG by the MAHLE Group.
In 2008, the industry division of BEHR Group achieved sales of
approximately 206 million euros and currently employs around 900 employees
in five locations in Germany and the USA. Its main products are cooling and
air conditioning systems for railway and special vehicles, buses, ships,
construction and agricultural machinery, the aviation industry, and
stationary heavy duty engines for power generation. In future, BEHR
Industry will operate under the name Mahle Behr Industry.
MAHLE intends to integrate the company Mahle Behr Industry into its
existing industrial activities for large engines and industrial filtration.
It is planned to bundle these activities in a new business unit "MAHLE
Industry" with an annual sales volume of approximately 500 million euros.
Behr will not participate in the existing industrial activities of MAHLE in
the areas of large engines and industrial filtration.
The acquisition of the majority share in BEHR Industry by MAHLE is still
subject to approval by the antitrust authorities. Both parties have agreed
not to disclose the purchase price.
Prof. Dr. Heinz K. Junker, Chairman of the Management Board of the MAHLE
Group, commented: "With its products in the area of thermal management,
BEHR Industry is an ideal addition to the portfolio of our own industrial
activities for large engines and stationary filtration. Like in the
automotive sector, filtration and cooling are closely connected. By
cross-selling effects and penetrating new business fields such as renewable
energies or decentralized power generation, we see substantial growth
potential for a new business unit MAHLE Industry, coupled with synergy
effects. Furthermore, we aim to focus our industrial activities more
intensively to international growth outside Europe."
Dr. Markus Flik, CEO of the BEHR Group, added: "With MAHLE, we found a
partner for our industrial business who is interested in a long-term
development of these activities and who will promote its further growth. It
is strategically important for BEHR to maintain access to attractive growth
markets in the cooling and air conditioning business outside the automotive
Apart from the majority acquisition of BEHR Industry, MAHLE and BEHR are
currently considering the possibilities of a further strategic cooperation
in the automotive sector. Both companies consider the areas of thermal
management and mechatronics to be of high importance for growth markets. A
cooperation would open synergy potentials and further enhance the systems
know-how in the automotive business for both supplier companies.
The MAHLE Group is one of the 30 largest companies in the automotive supply
industry worldwide. As a leading manufacturer of components and systems for
the combustion engine and related products, MAHLE ranks among the top 3
systems suppliers for piston systems, cylinder components, valve train
systems, air management systems, and liquid management systems. In 2008,
MAHLE employed around 45,000 people at over 100 production plants and eight
research and development centers and achieved sales of over 5 billion
More information at www.mahle.com
Behr GmbH & Co. KG, Stuttgart, is a systems partner for the international
automobile industry. A specialist for automotive air conditioning and
engine cooling systems, the Behr Group is one of the world's leading
manufacturers and suppliers of original equipment for passenger and
commercial vehicles. Group sales in the 2008 business year came to around
3.3 billion euros. Behr employs approximately 17,000 staff at 17
development locations, 28 production sites and 12 joint ventures worldwide.
In 1990, BEHR Industry GmbH was turned into an independent subsidiary of
the BEHR Group. The company with headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany,
specializes in cooling and air conditioning systems for railway and special
vehicles, buses, ships, construction and agricultural machinery, the
aviation industry, and stationary heavy duty engines for power generation.
In 2008, Behr Industry attained worldwide sales of around 206 million euros

Drivers on East Kellogg can expect delays for the next six weeks starting Monday while lanes are closed so additional traffic cameras, sensors and message signs are installed.
The eastbound and westbound left lanes will be closed on Kellogg between Woodlawn and Rock Road so the work can be done, the Kansas Department of Transportation said.
More than 50,000 vehicles use that section of Kellogg daily so congestion is expected, especially during commute times, KDOT said.
Two electronic message signs will be installed – one for each direction of traffic – to alert drivers with travel information. Two more traffic cameras and sensors also will be installed on each side of Rock Road as part of the $678,000 project, the state agency said.
The sensors are used to monitor vehicle speeds and volume, KDOT spokesman Tom Hein said.
During the winter, additional cameras and senors will be installed on West Kellogg, between Maize and Ridge roads, and on I-135 south of Harry. No lane closures will be necessary for that work, Hein said.
Currently, the major highways in Wichita have 35 cameras, 45 traffic sensors and 21 message signs.

2003 Honda Civic Hybrid
By on 5/24/11 | Alexandria, VA
168,000 miles averaging 49 mpg (mostly highway). Second set of tires about ready for replacement. Original plugs, brakes, etc.; only change the fluids regularly. Last summer replaced the a/c compressor which I run year round. Check engine and IMA lights come on when the temperature drops but go away when it warms up. Dealer can't figure it out! If/when the battery dies, I'll see how long I can run it on just the 4 cylinders. Should still get over 30 mpg.
2003 Honda Civic Hybrid
By on 5/3/11 | Staten Island, NY
My 2003 Civic Hybrid is great. I get around 42 - 43 MPG. I drive quite fast and don't even try to get high miles on it. Most of my driving is on the highway. The car is great and at 130,000 miles the maintenance has been excellent except for 1 thing. The transmission died just after the warrenty expired. Honda covered 3/4 of the cost. Other than that the car has 0 rust and is in great overall condition. Engine runs smooth and the AC still pumps. Much better than my 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee which was falling apart just under 90,000 miles.

By on 6/11/09 | Ft Mitchell, KY
Bought for $13,900.00 in 2005 with 27,000 mi. now at 100,000 and I am surprised at the amount of depreciation (dealer said $2500.00) Blue book at around $3300 (could be the high mileage) . Car has been average to good in terms of mpg (38 - 49 mpg) but varies wildly. Sensitive to gas quality (I can tell when I get a bad tank). Am about to spend $2000 to replace the O2 , front struts,and cat converter! Car is ok but i miss my 87 civic 5-door which I bought used - drove for 15 years and logged 300,000 miles!

Saul Williams: 'Volcanic Sunlight' is latest album
Pardon the old saw, but in truth, Saul Williams is a poet and he knows it. He can catch a wave of inspiration and unleash a heightened flow like the best, and likewise, much of his life gets sucked into the creative vortex. No exception: His teenage daughter Saturn, who shrieks along with Williams on the feisty ska-punky "Girls on Saturn," on his latest album, "Volcanic Sunlight."
"That song is really about the girls in this world and the influence and effect of women in my life," Williams says from New Orleans on his 40th leap-year birthday ("I'm 10 years old today!"). "How they're so responsible for so many aspects of who I am, how I look, how I rhyme, how things sound - and not only girls but mothers and sisters and in this case my daughter. I'm a parent, so I feel like if kids are going to listen to me I'm going to say more than 'Shake that a-.' "
Williams definitely sails beyond your average party anthem on the woefully neglected "Volcanic Sunlight." Musically, the man rides a ecstatic wave of driving beats on what might be his most pop outing yet. And it's hard to believe songs like opener "Look to the Sun" with Williams' infectious, urgent chant of "I look to the sun/But I follow the moon" over an inexorable snare, stabbing hook and cowbell hasn't made a bigger splash. Or that the moodily romantic, trip-hop-tinged "Rocket" didn't take off at Williams dreamy urging, "I'm in space and the darkness knows my face/Every stratus states its case/And an angel takes her place/And we take off like a rocket in your heart/Every ending has its start."
If 2007's Trent Reznor-produced, online cult phenom "The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust" marked the showiest musical moment so far for Williams - best known by some for his lead role in the 1998 film "Slam" - then "Volcanic Sunlight" shines a spot on a more positive, approachable performer. At the time he wrote it, Williams remembers, "I felt wonderful and wanted to document that time of feeling wonderful with songs about feeling wonderful. I thought it was super fun to be writing without anger. That was the challenge: I have used music to channel a lot of anger and angst, especially with 'Niggy Tardust.' But I wanted to document a more holistic idea of who I am.
"My friends don't think of me as an angry politicized poet, but people who encounter my work might. I wanted to add light to the picture."
He latched onto the sound of polyrhythmic drums and classical horns and began popping music into a file on his computer tagged "Volcanic Sunlight."
"I was thinking of the rise of the underground, and the source that comes from within as opposed to above, unlike those who look for God outside and in the sky as opposed to the source that's within each of us," he says. The history of Rome's catacombs and the oracles who harnessed geological power wound their way into the concept, as did the underground of Paris, Williams' current home. "I like the idea of a volcano as a source of the energy, something that looks dormant but actually contains this violence inside that releases when the time comes."
Yet even while Williams continues to bubble with ambitious projects - including his lead turn in the new film "Aujourd'hui" and "Chorus," his forthcoming "literary mix-tape" of a book that weaves together 100 poems by 100 living poets - he continues to reach out, for the surface. Since "Slam," he muses, "I had the idea of breaking poetry away from the underground. The goal is always to reach the mainstream to effect change."

Sorting Out a Tight Oscar Race
Why the remaining race is so tight
How did "Saving Mr. Banks" get shafted? Where was "Inside Llewyn Davis," or early critics' favorite "Fruitvale Station"? What about Tom Hanks as Walt Disney in "Mr. Banks" or for the title role in "Captain Phillips"? How can a beloved star such as Robert Redford be ignored for a powerhouse performance like "All Is Lost?"
In the wake of Thursday's Oscar nominations, veteran voters and awards marketers say the reason was simple—too many good movies. In any other year,...

Haunted hotel rooms to book for Halloween
- Published
Forget state-of-the-art sound systems and White Company toiletries, these hotel rooms come with their own resident ghosts. From the shadowy apparition of a jilted bride to the sound of long-gone children's laughter, disappearing pillows and even a phantom cat (yes, really), these places boast more supernatural activity than an entire series of Most Haunted. To guarantee a fright this Halloween, check out our selection of haunted hotels and their most haunted rooms - to book right now...
Room 18, The Castle Hotel - Conwy
This North Wales hotel boasts the unlikely attraction of a phantom cat - so if you hear something go thud in the night, don't be alarmed (it's just the ghost of Felix). A ghoulish chambermaid also roams the corridors; she was refused her death wish for her body to be returned to the nearby island of Anglesey and has plagued the hotel ever since. Room 18 is her favourite spot.
Room 333, The Langham - London
Room 333 at The Langham just off Oxford Street is infamous and seems to attract a steady stream of ghostly apparitions. This 1865 hotel used to be the headquarters for the BBC and in 1973, a BBC Radio announcer, Alexander Gordon, reported waking up to see a man dressed in Victorian evening wear floating towards him, "arms outstretched, eyes staring emptily." Other BBC staff, and later guests at the hotel, reported similar sightings; and in each one, the man's legs were cut off by the floor boards, accounting for the fact that the hotel's boards have been raised since Victorian times to make way for central heating pipes.
Room 15, The Swan Hotel - Suffolk
A bride spurned at the altar has taken to frequenting the rooms of this 15th Century abode. She was the housekeeper of this one-time coaching inn, so legend goes, and fell pregnant out of wedlock. The father was persuaded to marry her, only to change his mind on the wedding day. She hung herself in room 15 and has been seen by guests ever since.
The Lodge, Samlesbury Hall - Lancashire
Book into The Lodge, a six-room outhouse, to get a front row seat to all the ghostly action going down at Samlesbury Hall. The manor's most popular ghost is "white lady" Dorothy Southworth, whose ill-fated lover was killed by her brothers in the house before she was sent to a convent abroad and died of a broken heart.
Other visitors include a decapitated priest murdered during the Reformation (a blood stain is said to reappear now and again by the fireplace), the ghost of one of the previous owners, Joseph Harrison, who killed himself there in 1878 and the shadowy outline of a mother dragging a child.
The Stour Corridor, Ettington Park Hotel - Stratford-upon-Avon
Shadowy apparitions abound in this neo-Gothic mansion, which was chosen by film director Robert Wise as the location for 1963 horror flick The Haunting. A barefoot Edwardian lady likes to hang out in the bay window of the Great Drawing Room and the sound of non-existent billiard balls can be heard echoing around the library. For a truly spine-chilling experience, head to The Stour Corridor, where you may spot the ghosts of two children who drowned in the Stour River in the early 1800s.
Room 10, The Bell Hotel - Thetford
The sound of children playing in empty rooms, rattling keys in the night and the ghost of a hooded monk... this 15th century inn is no stranger to supernatural activity and is a popular draw for paranormal investigators. Landlord Elizabeth Radcliffe was murdered here in the 19th Century, after being pushed through the window of room 10. The hooded monk is another regular; he's thought to belong to a Priory that owned the Bell during the 1400s.
Room Three, Jamaica Inn - Cornwall
Daphne du Maurier took inspiration from this inn for her chilling novel of the same name and it's not hard to see why. Set in a remote spot in the heart of Bodmin Moor, the 1547 building is prime ghost territory, attracting smugglers and lost souls from the area's colourful past. Footsteps, voices speaking in unknown dialects and photographs with orbs have all been recorded. The bar and room four are apparently popular with resident spirits, but it's room three that has a particularly "oppressive" atmosphere - so much so, that some guests are said to prefer sleeping in their cars.
Tower Suite, Danesfield House Hotel - Marlow-on-Thames
As dusk falls over the gardens of this imposing Buckinghamshire hotel, the Grey Lady of Danesfield Park materialises around the spot where Danesfield Chapel once stood. Dressed in the robes of the Roman Sisterhood and with a lantern in hand, she is seen to wander over to Medmenham Gate before vanishing into thin air. Grab a front row view of this ghostly going-on from the four-poster bed of the Tower Suite, with sweeping views over the front lawn.
Lady Mary's Room, Dalmahoy - Edinburgh
This Marriott Hotel & Country Club is a 16th Century manor and once the home of the second daughter of the 8th Earl of Morton, Lady Mary Douglas. Lady Mary was murdered by her husband and her picture hangs above the four poster bed in the room she is said to haunt (her own room at the time). Spooky.
The Prince Philip Suite, Prince Rupert Hotel - Shrewsbury
This ancient hotel is littered with apparitions particularly in room six, where a jilted bride resides. Spurned after her groom abandoned her on her wedding night, so the tale goes, she hung herself - and guests here have reported seeing the grim outline of her corpse on the wall. Other sightings include figures wandering the stairs and disappearing into walls and pillows that vanish in the night (watch out for that). Room six attracted so much activity that the hotel eventually changed it into a conference room, re-naming it The Prince Philip Suite.

Multimodal tests of cerebrovascular reactivity in migraine: a transcranial Doppler study
- 44 Downloads
- Citations
Altered cerebral vasoreactivity (CVR) has been implicated in migraine. To test this hypothesis, we studied CVR as measured by transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) in 11 migraineurs and 12 healthy controls of similar age. Mean flow velocities (MFV) in the middle cerebral artery (MCA) were recorded during a cognitive and two motor tasks. MFV in the posterior cerebral artery (PCA) were measured during photic stimulation and observation of complex images. The increase of MFV in the MCA during the cognitive task was greater in migraineurs than in controls (9.1% vs 5.0% ;P = 0.06). The increase of MFV in both tests for PCA reactivity was significantly greater in migraineurs than in controls: 17.4% vs 9.9% for photic stimulation (P < 0.05) and 20.3% vs 10.2% for observation of complex images (P<0.05). Owing to overlap of individual results, the discriminative value of both tests was unsatisfactory. The variability of flow velocities as measured by standard deviations of MFV was significantly greater in migraineurs than in controls during all tests of PCA vasoreactivity. Differences in CVR between migraineurs and normal controls may be detected by TCD testing, in particular in the PCA territory. For individual diagnostic purposes, CVR tests proved to be insufficient.

Economic Development
Economic Development is viewed as a vital element in keeping the Wairoa District alive and thriving, both now and into the future. WDC works closely with the community to develop ideas and assist in turning thoughts into reality. This happens on many levels – from small community initiatives to large scale plans involving multiple entities.
Economic Development Strategy
To help guide the way, WDC has created an Economic Development strategy that identifies seven key, inter-related themes.
Four of the themes are enablers, meaning that while they do not generate wealth in their own right, they are an essential component in facilitating and supporting local development and growth.
These themes are:
- Infrastructure
- Planning
- Regulation
- Life
The remaining three themes represent wealth-creating opportunities with the potential to add genuine value in economic terms to the district.
These themes are:
- Land
- Business
- Visitors
To find out more about how these themes have been developed into a strategy, click here.
Matariki - Hawke's Bay Regional Economic Development Stratgegy
The Wairoa District Council is working alongside with iwi and hapu, the business sector, central government agencies and other local authorities in our region on this strategy and the actions resulting out of it. The aim is to grow jobs across the region, increase household incomes and raise Hawke's Bays economic performance up into the top quarter of New Zealand regions.
To achieve these aims, the strategy sets out the steps needed to help existing businesses who want to grow to do so, attract new business, promote great new ideas, attract skilled migrants to work in the areas in which we need more people and plan major public projects that benefit the whole region.
'Every household and every whānau is actively engaged in, contributing to and benefiting from, a thriving Hawke's Bay economy.'
'Ko te kainga, ko te whānau te pūtake; he tau-utuutu te hononga ko te ōhanga o te matau a māui e pakari nei.' - Matariki REDs

Wairoa Waterfront Enhancement Plan
The Wairoa River is an important part of Wairoa's identity.
Over time invasive species, deforestation, and people accessing the river edge have caused erosion along many sections of the river which in some cases has increased sediment deposition in some areas.
Now is the time to take action and reinvigorate Wairoa, to reinforce the importance of the Wairoa River to the Wairoa community, and strengthen its banks, protecting them from further erosion, and teaching new generations of the importance of bank stabilisations in order to safeguard this river. This plan, created by the Hawke's Bay Regional Council after submissions from Upstream Wairoa looks at the opportunities for the Wairoa river and township, and develops concepts and planting applications to allow these opportunities to become a reality.
There have been a number of developments regarding the regeneration of the waterfront area, these include the Sir James Carroll Walkway and signage and the Marine Parade vegetation clearance. The Wairoa Waterfront Enhancement Plan has been a work in progress and builds on the work already being considered around the Wairoa River Waterfront. The Wairoa District Council and Upstream Wairoa will work alongside the Hawke's Bay Regional Council to ensure all appropriate community consultation and engagement activities will be undertaken.

Naomi Watts Discusses Looking in the Mirror & Thinking She Needs Plastic Surgery
Naomi Watts go for high fashion on the cover of Town & Country magazine's September 2014 issue, on newsstands August 12.
Here's what the 45-year-old actress had to share with the mag:
On the pressure to get plastic surgery: "I'm really just feeling my way. This being an industry town, that self-consciousness just pervades. There are days when I feel victorious that I have, you know, gotten this far [without plastic surgery]. But there are a million days when I look in the mirror and think, 'I'm going to do it.'"
On accepting a role in Divergent: "I'd rather be a character actress and have longevity – as much of it as I can – than kid myself into believing I'm always going to be a leading lady, you know?"
On hating auditions: "I'm an anxious person, and I hate being put in a position where I'm being tested. If I feel safe, I can be me, but if I don't feel safe, I try to please."
FYI: Naomi is wearing a Rochas dress on the cover.

moving to nepal (Kathmandu)
Hi there - I'm new in the forum. My wife Uma and I are thinking of moving to Nepal for a long time. We were interested in a small town. Pokhara was suggested. We're very interested in a shift of lifestyle...still living in Los Angeles, Ca. Any ideas or or suggestions are MOST welcome. Thanks very much in advance for any responses.
