From Sacramento, California, USA:
My 2 year old son, diagnosed Type 1 four months ago, has been ill with his first virus since diagnosis. Blood sugars have been high (400-500) and he has been showing ketones (small to moderate). His doctor is saying that along with the usual sick day care, he must be given extra insulin to bring down sugars. When on a sliding scale of Ultralente and Humalog, should we be giving them mixed 45 minutes prior to eating to give time to begin working? We were told Humalog is given 15 minutes prior to eating and Ultralente 45 minutes. Should we go ahead and let Humalog start working that far in advance since he is so high? It seems like the two insulins needs conflict.
Without knowing more about what the normal pattern of insulin and its dosage is, what your son's appetite is like and whether he has been vomiting, etc., it would be inappropriate to give any very specific advice. However you need to keep a careful record of how this does get resolved so as to make it easier to deal with the next time he has a sick day and you need to be in touch with the doctor or the diabetes nurse educator by telephone about detailed management.
In regard to the timing of injections, the exact timing of the Ultralente in relation to breakfast is not important as it takes 4 to 6 hours to start to work: it can also be given with the Humalog. Under these conditions I think you might also consider delaying a little to give the Humalog after the meal has begun: it starts to act in a few minutes and in this way you can adjust the dose according to both blood sugar and appetite.
You should initially do blood sugars every 2 hours and measure urine ketones whenever you can because if there are moderate ketones you may have to continue to give more Humalog every two hours (5-10% of total daily insulin). This in turn may involve measuring the Humalog in fractions of a unit using small syringes and BD Ultrafine needles and perhaps a special diluent. You will need to discuss this with your son's diabetes team.
Sometimes the blood sugars will return to normal when the ketones remain moderate and in this case you have to continue to give extra insulin as well as glucose supplements until the ketones go.
It may help you to read Chapter 15 in Understanding Insulin Dependant Diabetes which is on Sick-Day management; you can download it without charge from www.uchsc.edu/misc/diabetes/UIDDM.html

Transit, Astronomical
Object notes Associations
"Broken" transit instrument, made in New York by Stackpole & Brother. Transferred from the U.S. Naval Observatory.
This is one of eight identical instruments built for the United States' expeditions to observe the 1874 Transit of Venus. The objective lens has 6.5 cm clear aperture. This type of instrument was used, with a chronometer, to observe "transit times", i.e. to note the exact time that a star crosses the observer's meridian. The term "broken" transit comes from the use of a mirror (or, in this case, a prism) to change the path of incoming light - to "break" the light path and direct it to a stationary observer's position. This instrument is identical to catalog #327,720, another Stackpole "broken" transit in the Smithsonian collections.

St. Louis Cardinals great Stan Musial receives the Presidential Medal of Freedom today in Washington. D.C. "The Man" has been the face of the organization for over 50 years and we pose the question "when I say Stan, you say _____." Cardinals bloggers share their responses.
"When I say Stan, you say greatest Cardinal of all-time."
"The Man" is the easy answer, and also correct, but truly appreciating Stan Musial and what he has meant to the Cardinal organization is much further reaching than that. Statistically, Musial can be considered one of the top ten players of all-time in Major League Baseball, and that's a pretty storied history. We Cardinal fans all know far more about Stan off the field as well, so to me, when I say "greatest Cardinal of all-time" that embodies not only his exploits on the field, but also those off it both representing the organization and just being the person that he is. Today is a great day for Stan, well deserved. Congrats Mr. Musial!
Nick, Pitchers Hit Eighth
... the greatest Cardinal position player in history. With a name that crosses generations, Stan the Man was iconic for his on the field play as well as his heroic service to the country during WWII. A 24 time All Star and three time National League MVP, Musial was the core of three World Series Championship teams. Ultimately, his name stands tall even among some of the all time Cardinals' greats.
Tim McCullough, www.futureredbirds.net
... I say Cardinal apotheosis. The nation turned its lonely eyes to Joe DiMaggio in the 1960s; Musial has been here all along as the living link across generations of Cardinal fans, spreading goodwill, embodying the ideal of our baseball hero, epitomizing the Cardinal way. He has been so human, so familiar to us -- signing autographs, appearing at every special game at Busch Stadium that he could physically attend, boyishly playing the harmonica -- and yet so incredibly superheroic, a character from a fairy tale walking among us. In the twilight of his life now, his status as exalted yet humble ambassador is preserved and complete. He may be merely a man -- "the man," even -- but he has become godlike for Cardinal fans.
Matt Philip, www.fungoes.net
Cardinals. I mean, really, is anyone else as symbolic of the team as Stan the Man? Not only his amazing work on the field, where he is rightly regarded as one of the best players ever to play the game. He also stands for Cardinal values away from the game as well. He's humble, he's classy, he loves the game and he stays out of the limelight. He's not a greedy guy, he's not a self-promoter, he's worried more about others than he is about himself. It seems to me the Cardinal organization often reflects that, staying away from scandal and helping out in the community. If the club (and, indeed, all of us) spent more time acting like Stan, the world would be a better place.
Daniel Shoptaw, www.cardinal70.com
When you say Stan, I say greatness. Plain and simple, he was and remains the greatest Cardinal ever. Nothing describes him better than the quote from former baseball commissioner Ford C. Frick engraved on the statue of Stan outside Busch Stadium: "Here stands baseball's perfect warrior. Here stands baseball's perfect knight." And nothing demonstrated the regard in which all of Cardinal Nation and even Major League Baseball holds Stan to this day better than Oct. 2, 2010. The respect and honor shown to him that day was incredible, not just by the fans and the Cardinals players, but by the Rockies as well. Greatness indeed.

The phrase "wrought iron furniture" immediately creates an image of romantic elegance and rustic charm, and a wrought iron coffee table can certainly give a country or vintage living room a touch of upscale, antique class. On the other hand, forged iron is equally at home in an industrial motif, and its raw, handcrafted look can provide a stunning counterpoint when used as an element in a contemporary décor.
When you shop for a wrought iron coffee table, it's important to understand that many pieces sold with that description aren't actually made from wrought iron. The phrase is often used to describe the classic style we're all familiar with, but it's really just a description of the way the iron was created.
"Wrought iron" actually means that the metal has been heated and then hand-forged with tools. Most of today's iron, by contrast, is "cast iron" which has been melted and then poured into a mold to harden and cut. That explains why craftsmen are able to shape real wrought iron into the intricate designs associated with the name, and why the finished product is considerably stronger. It's also why wrought iron is usually more expensive.
A wrought iron coffee table most often has a base fashioned from the metal with a glass tabletop. The design is contemporary, and the translucent top shows off the ironwork to best advantage. Wrought iron with straightforward geometric designs or gentle curves gives the piece a modern look, particularly if the coffee table is rectangular or square in shape. If the iron is crafted with elegant scrollwork, intricate leaf patterns or cabriole legs, it contributes an antique or vintage element to the room's overall design, especially if the coffee table is oval or round. Some of these tables incorporate wrought iron into the construction of the top as well.
Of course, a wrought iron base can also be used in conjunction with wood, tile, granite or even marble tabletops. While less commonly seen, each of these wrought iron coffee tables sets a markedly different tone; a wood-and-wrought-iron table can create a feeling of modern country charm, while one with wrought iron and marble is the ultimate in sophisticated design.

Going to law school?
July 13, 2008, 12:52:00 PM »
Alright, so I've always been interested in law, and I'm getting to the end of my degree here. What I want to know is, with my stats, what my options would be? I've talked to my undergrad advisors, but I want a more objective opinion.
I have a honours degree in philosophy from a good canadian school. My average is around a B+; I've taken some practice LSAT's and scored decent. I'm pretty confident that with studying and perhaps some guidance (LSAT program) I could achieve a good LSAT score. However, I wouldn't put it any higher than 158-160 - I'm a pretty good student, but I'm not an 'A' student. I get lots of A's in class, so I know I have potential, but they never materialized into an 'A' GPA average.
Also, for what it's worth, I would have good letters of recommendation. Moreover, I've had good work experience in a bank (I know that really doesn't matter).
I'm not looking to get into the best law schools, but I'm looking to go to law school. Canada to me does not seem like the US in regards to school rankings. To me, it doesn't really seem like going to U of T is a whole lot better then going to Alberta law school, or even Manitoba or something. I'm interested in studying law and practicing it, not making loads of money as a corporate lawyer.
So what should I do? Work at getting my GPA higher? (I haven't officially graduated yet) Work at getting a really good LSAT score? What about a US law school?
I've thought about other graduate programs, like doing an MBA, which is easier to get into. However, my real passion would be law.
I would appreciate any thoughts, help, insight! Thanks!

It's impossible to say what your chances are without you having actually taken the LSAT or posted precisely what your stats are. Keep in mind most Canadian schools drop a certain number of courses in calculating your GPA (U of T takes best three, Osgoode is moving to best two, Western last two, Alberta best two [I think]). Hitting a 158 on the LSAT wouldn't do you any favours either, while scoring over 170 would make life easier.
You are right, though, in saying that Canada is not like the US in terms of school rankings. All of our law schools are publicly funded and they are all good programs.
This site has much more information on Canadian law schools:

I'm Canadian, going to a Canadian uni, but I'm not that well versed in Canadian law schools. I would say that you would probably have a lot more luck getting into a good canadian law school than a good American law school however just because you aren't as likely to be as screwed over by a low LSAC gpa and with a smaller applicant pool, having a 170+ isn't mandatory. I would say though that there is a difference in Canadian law schools say between U of T and a lower ranking school. With going to U of T or Osgoode, you could potentially practice in the states. Not so, with the lower ranked less well known schools. If going to a prestigious school and doing corporate law isn't what you want, I would suggest you go to school based on location of where you would like to practice after since Canada is a very small place at times, and those connections will be important and yes, there isn't a vast difference in terms of quality. I really would say though do not bother applying to American schools unless you intend to practice there. Your stats, taking into consideration your Canadian B+ and a potential 160 on the LSAT, won't get you into a good school and if you want to practice in Canada, it would be a huge waste of money.

UBS Wealth Management Americas has picked up a trio of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management advisors, as Morgan Stanley has snapped up a new advisor from Chase Investment Services.
Michael Bulhack, Mario Ponczek and Douglas Ponczekthe Bulhack-Ponczek Groupjoin UBS in Aventura, Fla. They previously managed $423 million at Morgan Stanley and had $1.6 million in fees and commissions. They have been registered with UBS since Nov. 2, according to their public registration records with FINRA, and report to Erin Borger.
Both Bulhack and Mario Ponczek came to Morgan Stanley through Citigroup, their registration records show, where they had been employed since 1993. Douglas Ponczek, Mario Ponczeks son, had been registered with Morgan Stanley since October 2010.
At the same time, Morgan Stanley has hired Chase advisor Bryan Schon in Bloomfield Hills, Mich. Schon previously oversaw $205 million in client assets and had $1.45 million in fees and commissions. He has been registered with the firm since Nov. 1, according to his public registration records. Schon reports to Morgan Stanley Branch Manager William R. Eastin.
Schons hire comes as Morgan Stanley also recently lured three new advisors to its force from Wells Fargo and Raymond James.
UBS said in its third quarter earnings last week that its advisor headcount rose by 11 to 7,032 in the third quarter. Morgan Stanley posted a total of 16,829 global representatives in its wealth business in the third quarter, which marked a decline of 105 financial advisors, or six one-tenths of one percent, according to the firm.

Finally- the ROOM
And that is all of the pics I am going to post since my camera battery just died right while I was taking pictures,
so my luck. i am really happy with how everything turned out, It is masculine enough for Nate, I love the colors which I think I could accesorize with something other than orange should I feel like a change later on. If you are thinking of a room re-do. Do it. It can be a long process and a bit arduous at times, but it is so great and worth making it a place you love that is really you. Of course there are things that I would still love to do i.e. lamps- but I am waiting for the perfect ones that speak to me- so they may take a while.I would also love something above the headboard, my sis mentioned oars, awesome, but hey, are we ever really done decorating anyway? No. & cheers my friends, may the wind be at your back this lovely Friday.

Important Considerations
Bariatric surgery should not be considered until you and your doctor have explored all other options. The best approach to bariatric surgery calls for a discussion of the following:
Patients who underwent bariatric surgery have significantly reduced rates of developing cancer, cardiovascular diseases, endocrinological disorders, infectious diseases, musculoskeletal disorders, psychiatric disorders, and pulmonary disorders.
Surgical Risks for Gastric Bypass and Gastric Banding
As with any surgery, there may be immediate and long-term complications and risks. Discuss the benefits and risks with your healthcare team.
Possible risks associated with abdominal surgery can include, but are not limited to:

This beautiful woman looks ready to go!
Note how the model's butt, anus, and pussy are in focus but her face is slightly out of focus. This creates a very strong image.
This is a great image. Not only are the 6 women incredibly beautiful and sexy but the pier looks like it is floating over the water and the balance of color between the women, pier, water, and out-of-focus background is superb. Even the choice of models is interesting – they are all brunettes (and very closely shaved).
I don't consider Paris Hilton to be beautiful or sexy! I have already posted a beautiful woman on the site for today so this is an extra. This image, which is everywhere on the web, shows Paris Hilton with her legs spread, going commando and showing off of her shaved pussy to the paparazzi of the world.

Consumer theory and benefit packages
Increasingly, employees are being allowed to choose benefit packages from a menu of items. For instance, workers may be given a package of benefits that includes basic and optional items. Basics might include modest medical coverage, life insurance equal to a year's salary, vacation time based on length of service, and some retirement pay. But then employees can use credits to choose among such additional benefits as full medical coverage, dental and eye care, more vacation time, additional disability income, and higher company payments to the retirement fund.
Using the theory of consumer behavior, how do you think flexible benefit packages would affect an employee's preference between higher wages and more benefits?© BrainMass Inc. brainmass.com August 19, 2018, 7:09 am ad1c9bdddf
Solution Preview
Consumer theory describes how consumers seek to maximize their utility in selecting a variety of different goods. Consumers value different goods at different levels, and so by offering employees a variety of ways to be compensated, employers can retain and attract more employees. Most employees will in general value certain benefits more ...

Experience Docent Led interpretive or cardio hikes of some of the last coastal wilderness in Southern CA.
Dartmoor Loop: This is a strenuous, intermediate hike with a substantial climb from sea level to a ridge in Laguna Coast Wilderness park. Along the way you will enjoy spectacular coastal views, and experience one of the last remaining coastal wildernesses. While not technical, this climb is shadeless and can be arduous and is not for those looking for a leisurely stroll.
Laurel Canyon: This is an easier, intermediate hike in the heart of the Laguna Coast Wilderness Park. It is a loop with a slighter elevation gain than Dartmoor, more shade canopies of Oak and Sycamore groves, and fanatastci views of the area coastal ranges, including Saddleback Mountain to the east, and Catalina island to the west.
Crystal Cove Tidepool: For those looking for an easier stroll, try our 3 mile beach walk along Crystal Cove State Park. Our wilderness docent will show you the tidepools and the many sea creatures that inhabit them, as well as the famous bluffs, and even the historic beach colony.
Other hikes include Crystal Cove, South Laguna, and Laguna Coast Wilderness.

Volunteering at the Center and Day to Day Work
Introduction into daily work at the center- what it is, what to expect, what to wear-
Volunteering at ORC is hard work but it is very rewarding. Know that all the time and work you put in goes directly toward helping birds of prey return to the wild. We know a lot of it is not glamorous but every task is important. Volunteering at the center consists of Animal Care shifts during the week as well and on the weekends. Weekends are also times to get special projects done because we usually have more help on those days. AM shifts are 9:30 AM to 1:30 PM and dependent on the number of patients PM shifts will be added from 2:30 PM to 6:30 PM. Please arrive on time for your shift.
*When you come to the center to volunteer you should wear close toed shoes, work clothes, a water bottle and a snack or lunch. Masks, gloves and other safety wear will be provided to you.
Daily tasks at the center:
-Cleaning all cages, mews, and aviaries
-Checking the rat room
-Assisting supervisors with medicating and caring for patients in the infirmary
-Feeding all birds and animals- education ambassadors and patients
-Doing laundry
-Cleaning perches
-Cleaning the interior of the center- sweeping, wiping down surfaces, cleaning out refrigerators, doing dishes, emptying trash, organizing sheets and towel
-Landscape upkeep- watering plants, and weeding
*Supervisors won't always be there to give you your next task, they might be busy taking phone calls or doing medical exams. When this happens please refer to the daily task board and keep moving with tasks you have been trained to do.
Daily Chores Inside
Rack cleaning 101: A rack is one of the infirmary cages where patients are housed. There are roughly three different sizes of racks depending on size and specie of the bird.
Rack Cleaning 101:
-Remove dirty perches and dirty softie (usually a piece of fleece, t-shirt or towel). Perches go in the dirty perch bin and laundry goes into laundry basket.
-Take out all dirty newspaper and left over food. If there are dirty dishes in the rack take them to the sink, deposit any left over food into the garbage can. When dishes from all the racks are collected, clean all the dishes.
-Spray the inside of the rack with cleaner (usually Simple Green), you should only need 4-5 sprays, birds are extremely sensitive to fumes so be careful with how much cleaner you use. For racks that have housed birds with a verified parasite or contagious condition we will use bleach but use it VERY sparingly.
-Wipe down the inside of the rack removing all feces, there shouldn't be anything left. You also will need to scrub down the rack door.
-Replace newspaper with several layers so the newspaper goes up 6 inches or so up the side of each wall. Add new perch and softie.
-Replace dirty newspaper on the floor with newspaper.
Opossum Care:
-Replace soiled paper with dry newspaper and weigh down with rocks (if in one of the outside cages)
-Remove dirty dishes. When you remove dirty dishes, please dispose of any left over food in the trash and clean all dishes. Do not leave dirty dishes in the sink.
-Clean litter box- you can dispose of waste in outside trash can. More litter is located next to Nugget's cage.
-Check water bowl or bottle and replace kibble.
-Please read laundry instructions on the washer. It's important to separate fleece softies from t-shirts and towels. Shake out all pieces of laundry before putting them in the machine. Use the instructed amount of detergent and bleach. Using too much detergent will damage the washing machine.
Daily Chores outside: cleaning aviaries, flights and mews, rat room, landscape upkeep
-Supervisors will train you to clean outside aviaries which consists of raking up feces, picking up food remnants, checking perches and hackboards and changing waters. *During ant and yellow jacket season it is especially important to make sure all food remnants are removed from hackboards and perches. Left over food will cause ants and bees to swarm and the birds will not eat. ALWAYS RESPECT THE DOUBLE DOOR SYSTEM! Make sure the anterior door is shut before you open the interior one to clean.
-Checking the rat room: At the beginning of every day the rat room needs to be checked. Water bottles and buckets need to be changed or filled, kibble needs to be replenished. Air in the rat room also needs to be turned on. To set air: press POWER and then TIMER- keep pressing timer until the screen reads 7 hours.
-Landscape upkeep: watering plants and weeding is constant task at ORC. When watering please recoil hoses and turn water OFF. When weeding, be sure to wear the thick garden gloves provided- we have a lot of stinging nettle all over the property that will irritate the skin (even through latex and sometimes clothing).
*Feather policy: Possession of native and/or migratory birds or their parts (feathers, eggs, nests, physical artifacts like wings or talons) without a permit is a violation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 (16U.S.C 703-712. Because we are permitted we have education biofacts like wings, talons, and stuffed birds at the center. If you find a feather you must put it into the feather collection bag. Theft of feathers or other artifacts jeopardizes the state and federal permits that allow ORC to operate. Theft of feathers will immediately lead to termination of volunteer status.
Thank you Volunteers!

UB notebook: Oliver works out as punt returner
The University at Buffalo didn't have any live special teams play during Saturday's annual Blue & White Game but senior Branden Oliver, the Bulls top tailback, fielded punts.
The 5-foot-8, 202-pound Oliver will field punts next season in part to jump start the return game, but also to enhance his pro prospects. No returns took place and all punts were fair-caught as Oliver and Devin Campbell took turns fielding punts for both teams.
A windy, cold afternoon at UB Stadium was a good time to break Oliver in as a returner. In the second quarter Oliver, the Blue team tailback, fumbled a punt as part of the White team, giving the Blue team great field position and eventually led to the first touchdown of the game.
"It wasn't on purpose, and I didn't know it was going to happen like that," Oliver said, laughing. "To tell you the truth, I have to get used to the wind up here, this is my first year doing it so I have to get used to that."
Kicker Patrick Clarke connected on 2 of 3 field goals. After missing a 41-yarder in the second quarter, he was good from 20 and 28 yards in the fourth. Punter Tyler Grassman, who punted for both teams, averaged 42.6 yards on 14 punts, including a game-long 60-yarder. Brian Orzechowski, a junior from Lockport, punted three times for an average of 39.5 yards.
The defense showed flashes of what could potentially be one of the best defenses in the Mid-American Conference.
The Blue team, which featured most of the first team starting offense, led 7-0 at the half and was held to just 320 yards of total offense for the game. For Khalil Mack, one of the leaders on the White team, it wasn't good enough.
"I can't say that I'm happy, you can't be satisfied playing this game and you always want to get better," said Mack, who finished with three tackles, a forced fumble and a hurry. "There are certain things that we can improve on but we did a solid job as a group."
White safety Adam Redden (St. Francis) led both teams in tackles with 6.5 and a tackle for a loss, while linemen Dalton Barksdale and Max Perisse paced the Blue team with four tackles. Linebacker John Aubel finished with two sacks and Beau Bachtelle one. Aubel, Bachtelle, Redden, Khalil Mack, Jake Stockman and Kendall Patterson each had tackles for losses. The White team was credited with four breakups while Blue recorded three.
"They really came out with something to prove and I really enjoyed watching the way they handled themselves on the field," Quinn said. "They pursued to the ball very well and wrapped up well. I was really pleased with that side of the football in the first half.
Sophomore Tony Daniel and redshirt freshman Collin Michael battled it out for the third spot at quarterback behind Joe Licata and Alex Zordich and both struggled on Saturday.
Daniel was 3 of 12 for 22 yards while Michael was 2 of 6 for 17 yards. Each was sacked twice.
Quinn said the team will forgo the rotating captain system in favor of returning to four captains for the 2013 season. The players will be determined before the start of the season. The captains on Saturday for the Blue team were Oliver, Fred Lee, Jasen Carlsen and Alex Neutz and for the White were Mack, Colby Way, Beau Bachtelle and Najja Johnson.
Way, a senior defensive end, was named the 1958 Lambert Cup Team Scholarship Award winner at Saturday morning's Champions Breakfast. … Alex Dennison, Andre Davis, Jake Pickett, John Kling, Ron Willoughby, Albert McCoy and James Potts all sat out the spring game because of injuries. … Players report for training camp Aug. 4 and open the season at Ohio State Aug. 31.

Welcome to gradplus.com
We know that the right kind of candidate, equipped and trained, can look forward to a rewarding career in the wastewater industry while playing a crucial role in raising standards.
Sewer modelling is the creation and use of computer models to represent sewer systems. These computer models are built to replicate flows that occur in our sewer networks and are verified against measured flows and known operational problems (e.g. flooding or pollution). The models are then used to develop solutions to these existing problems or to predict impacts on future performance (e.g. climate change or new development).
Drainage Engineers undertake all aspects of this process: collecting data through site surveys (including supervising sub-contractors) û using existing record and survey data to construct the computer model (including manipulating graphical databases) û testing the model against æreal-lifeÆ scenarios û and utilising the model to develop engineering solutions.
This role, therefore, requires attention to detail (to build models accurately and error free); problem-solving skills (to resolve discrepancies between the model predictions and the measured data); creativity and engineering knowledge (to design robust solutions). Reporting back to clients plays a vital part in the process such that the ability to write clear and concise reports is of extreme importance.
Screening is carried out on an ongoing basis using our on-line application form at www.hartfairpro.com. If successful, you will be invited to attend an assessment centre at our HQ in Warwickshire, at which we will identify those graduates with the potential to thrive within the wastewater industry.
Our graduates donÆt make tea and photocopies for twelve months û you will undertake worthwhile and meaningful tasks from day one. To facilitate this, an intensive and comprehensive four-week training course will ensure you have a head start on your peers.
Due to our strict selection process and rigorous training, our graduates are of the highest calibre, well suited to the role of a sewer modeller and equipped with the knowledge, technology, practice, and support to build a successful career in the industry. You will be a valuable asset within the wastewater industry; we will acknowledge this with the generous salary and benefits we provide to our graduates.

Representing the Feed Industry
IFIF represents the global feed industry as an essential participant in the food chain that provides sustainable, safe, nutritious and affordable food for a growing world population.
Given the anticipated growth of the world's population to around 9 billion people by 2050, and the associated higher demand for animal proteins like beef, poultry and fish, it is vital that we can meet this challenge in a sustainable and safe way.
The International Feed Industry Federation (IFIF) represents and promotes the global feed industry as an essential participant in the food chain that provides sustainable, safe, nutritious and affordable food for a growing world population.
IFIF is made up of national and regional feed associations from Africa, Asia Pacific, Europe, North and South America and the Middle East, as well feed related organizations and corporate members from around the globe. Overall, IFIF members represent over 80% of total compound animal feed production worldwide.
IFIF believes that only by working together with all stakeholders in the feed and food chain, including governments, the private sector and non-governmental groups, can we meet the demands of 60% more food, including animal proteins like beef, poultry, fish and dairy products in the future.
Consumer trust and confidence in the safety of the whole food supply chain is vital and IFIF helps to ensure high standards of health and welfare for animals and people, by collaborating with the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE), the Codex Alimentarius Commission and other international bodies to help set international regulatory standards for the whole feed chain and support fair trade.

The condition and action scripts are bits of code used by the game to handle more complicated mechanics than can be expressed by just providing components and results.
The condition script adds restrictions on when a recipe can be crafted. If the expression in the condition evaluates to false, the recipe isn't available.
The action script allows the recipe to handle more complex inputs and outputs. For example, it's used when combining stacks of items to allow stacks of any sizes to be merged together.

The Trade Council in Zagreb can assist you with commercial cases in Kosovo.
Since 2008, Kosovo has been an independent democratic state with a parliamentary system. The country is a potential candidate for EU membership, a process that was accelerated with the signing of the Stabilization Association Agreement with the EU in 2015, in force since 2016.
Despite being a small country with a population of 1.8 million, the Kosovar economy has had a consistently higher growth rate in the post-global financial crisis period than the Western Balkan country average. Kosovo's GDP per capita grew from US$1,088 in 2000 to US$3,641 in 2016.
During 2008–16, real GDP grew on average by 3.4%. Growth was driven primarily by household and government consumption, which contributed 2.8 percentage points to growth, buoyed by sizable remittances and foreign aid flows. Growth is expected to continue to be driven by investment and consumption including investment in the energy sector to build new generation capacity and new donor-financed projects.

Wow! Totally loving this modular shelving system by George & Willy. Made up of cut and finished plywood and dowels the Bang Bang Pegboard is an ingenious storage and display concept. The idea for the system comes from an unlikely, but understandable place. The childhood game of Battleship where players insert pegs into a game board based on positions called out by opposing players.

Slashgear just got their hands on the soon to be released HTC Legend and they have given us an unboxing and a brief demo video to tide us over until its official release. Other than the absence of graphics on the box and a packaged microSD card, this looks like final retail packaging.
The unibody construction continues to look incredibly slick and durable. All reports are that it has a pleasantly soft feel and the brushed aluminum finish saves you from the fingerprint magnet effect. The optical joystick and AMOLED screen are welcome revisions from the original Hero as well. The physical buttons are noted as a bit of a let down with a slightly cheap feel on an otherwise solidly built device.
On the OS side we are looking at Android 2.1, although missing a couple of the niceties of the "full version" seen on the Nexus One. The new Sense UI also makes its official debut here. You are probably familiar with it at this point, but as a reminder it most notably includes the new Leap function which allows you to pinch at the home screen or press the home button for a "helicopter view" of all seven available home screens and the new Friend Stream which tries to give you a single feed view of your social networks.
The Legend should be arriving on European carriers next month, but despite some glimpses through the FCC we still aren't certain of the U.S. release date.
While it won't be the most powerful Android device to hit the market this spring it definitely appears to be one of the best constructed and best looking of the new devices.
So are you Sense fans planning to snap up the Legend or are you holding out for the Desire?


text: Great chapter. Action-packed with some good Lex character moments. I was surprised they showed The Brain and Monsieur Mallah but I'm glad they put a good spin on them. BQM seems to enjoy giving campy villains like Prankster, Psimon and Brain a better take and make them relevant to the overall story. So far, so good. That was obviously The Black Flash after Bart, and as a huge fan of the Speed Force concept, I'm very happy they put that element in. The "Monkey" line was priceless. The art was great. I hope Jimenez draws more chapters than the other rotating artists, because he's just awesome. He draws Clark youthful and serious at the same time, with enough similarity to Tom while still putting his own spin on his looks. As a Smallville fan and DC reader, I'm delighted to see such a great balance between faithfulness to the source and artistic expression. Haunted may turn out to be the best chapter of S11 so far.

Pretty much the only day there is time to make a great breakfast at our house is on Saturday morning. I don't usually plan this in advance. The only time I do that is for a holiday. I'm sure I'll make Poppyseed Bread and Sugar Plumb Bacon for Easter. When I plan for a regular Saturday, it's usually to buy some crusty sourdough in order to make French Toast. My fallback recipes are usually baking powder biscuits, bacon and eggs. I have posted the biscuit recipe on here ages ago. I was looking at the recipes at Williams-Sonoma. They make me wish I had thought of this when I was at the store at 3 instead of at 10:30 p.m. There are many elaborate recipes on their site, but I probably would've picked one of these.
Sour Cream Coffee Cake
Bacon and Cheddar Omelet for 6
(although we only have 2)
French Toast
Don't they all look good? You can find these simple recipes here. What are you having for breakfast on Saturday?

On the first night of my new class, Communication Training, my professor had us take a Myers-Briggs personality test. I was very interested in this activity because I had taken one about 25 years ago and remembered my result was ESFJ. I was able to remember that distinctly because it was around the time I was in library school and the typical librarian is an ISFJ. I was curious if my personality type had changed over the years. My results showed I was now an ISFJ. At first, I attributed that to nearly two decades of working in libraries. But then the thought occurred to me that perhaps it was partly because of my hearing loss. The old extraverted me has had to develop more of the rich inner world of an introvert as it's become increasingly difficult to communicate in social situations. Frankly, it can be more relaxing to stay home and read a book or watch a captioned television show alone than go out with other people and struggle to understand what they are saying.
Another part of our class session involved introducing ourselves and sharing what we hoped to gain from the class. When it was my turn, I stated that I am hard of hearing and am interested in developing a training class for friends and family members of people who experience a hearing loss later in life. The objective of the class would be to learn techniques and strategies to help them improve their communication with their loved one. My teacher was surprised. She asked bluntly, "How would I know that you're hard of hearing?" Her question was brilliant and gave me an opening to explain the concept of invisible disability.
This was easier for me to do because another student speaking before me had shared her situation of being legally blind with a continuing decline in her vision. To look at her one would never guess that. I was pleased when that student immediately invited me to join a campus group that tackles the stigma of disability. My professor checked in with me later when we had moved to another room to be sure I was hearing her. She noted that it must take active listening on my part to keep up which I readily agreed to, admitting it can be tiring.
I did not tell her that earlier in the class session, I had made a false assumption I attribute completely to my hearing loss and not catching all the words that had been said. Seated in my row were two Muslim women wearing hijabs with long-sleeved dresses. Only their faces and hands were visible. I recognized one of them from a previous class and she had greeted me warmly when I came in the classroom. When the teacher was talking to them, I caught her saying the word mother and noticed that she gestured towards the woman seated nearer to me. The teacher responded that they looked more like sisters. So I figured out that one was a mother and the other was her daughter. Then I thought that the woman I knew was the daughter and the other one was her mother because I had heard her say the word mother. But I was not sure I was right. I stole a few more glances at their faces and hands and saw one had a wedding ring and the other did not. I realized that the one sitting closer to me was actually the younger looking one and so must be the daughter. When we had a break, I asked her if she was the daughter and she said yes. I was grateful I had the extra time I needed to process that and figure out their identities correctly. If I had spoken too soon, it would have been very embarrassing for me.

"E. J. Dionne gives us a thoughtful and nuanced exploration of Christianity's contributions to American politics. Critical of the exclusionary politics of both the Left and the Right, he calls for a new bond between religious conservatives and progressives rooted in our shared moral values and inspired by the wonder and awe that give birth to faith."--Susannah Heschel, author of Abraham Geiger and the Jewish Jesus
"E. J. Dionne is my favorite columnist. He is one of America's most insightful social commentators and a persistent articulator of the powerful but neglected vision of the common good that calls both Left and Right to moral accountability. Souled Out is a crucial contribution to the new American discourse on faith and politics."--Jim Wallis, author of God's Politics and president of Sojourners
"E. J. Dionne is this country's single most knowledgeable writer on religion and politics. Approaching this subject so central to the American experiment as a person of faith as well as a seasoned political reporter, Dionne brings an understanding and knowledge to the topic unique in the current debate."--Cokie Roberts, political analyst for ABC News and National Public Radio
"For much of the last decade the notion has been abroad in the land that religion is a conservative influence in American politics. E. J. Dionne, a liberal and a Catholic and one of the wisest of American journalists, challenges this myth. As the country emerges from a dreadful era, Dionne provides a perspective from which to recover the wisdom that religion, like everything else in America, is politically pluralistic."--Andrew Greeley, author of The Catholic Revolution
"E. J. Dionne has a unique voice and special authority as a liberal spokesman on religion and politics in America. Here, he models how to lower the temperature of the public discussion about religion and politics so that real advances in understanding can take place. This book will further cement Dionne's standing as the leading voice in the mounting campaign to revive a broad-based, religiously liberal politics--something that we haven't seen since the days of Martin Luther King Jr."--Richard Wightman Fox, author of Jesus in America
"Any book by E. J. Dionne is a treat, and one about religion is especially to be savored. This is not simply the work of an astute political commentator but of a person of faith who writes gracefully and often prophetically. He has an enviable flair for moving the reader along almost effortlessly and yet making clear and compelling arguments. There are fresh insights here in abundance."--Robert Wuthnow, Princeton University

For the meringues: Preheat the oven to 200 to 250 degrees fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
In a large bowl, beat the egg whites with an electric mixer until frothy. Add the cream of tartar and continue beating until soft peaks form. Lower the speed and gradually beat in the sugar. Add the amaretto and vinegar and beat at medium speed until stiff, glossy peaks form, about 8 minutes longer. Using a large kitchen spoon and your barely damp fingers, shape the meringue into twelve 4x3-inch ovals on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Place on the lowest rack in the oven and bake for about 45 minutes, until golden brown. Cool on wire racks. Store in a tightly closed plastic container at room temperature.
For the Genovese Butter Cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Butter and flour an 8-inch springform pan.
In a large metal bowl, beat the eggs, yolks and sugar with an electric mixer on high speed until tripled in volume, about 7 minutes.
Place the bowl over a saucepan of water, bring the water to a simmer, and whisk for 1 to 2 minutes to warm the eggs slightly. Remove from the heat.
Sift the flour and baking powder together and fold into the egg mixture. Transfer one-eighth of the batter to a small bowl and whisk the melted butter into it. Pour the cake batter into the prepared cake pan.
Bake for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Remove from the oven and cool completely on a wire rack. (The cake can be made a day ahead if tightly wrapped in plastic.)
For the Zabaglione Filling: Make a water bath by filling a large deep pot half-full with water. Combine the yolks, cream sherry, sugar and orange zest in a large bowl (preferably copper, to get more volume). Place the bowl over the water and, while whisking the eggs vigorously, bring the water to a simmer over medium-low heat. Continue whisking for about 5 minutes, or until the mixture thickens and is light and fluffy. Remove the bowl from the heat and let cool. (Leave the water bath over low heat.)
Place the gelatin sheet, if using, in cold water to soften. When soft, squeeze out the excess water, then whisk into the egg mixture. Or, for powdered gelatin, put 2 tablespoons cold water in a small dish and sprinkle the gelatin over the water. Let stand for 1 minute to soften, then whisk into the egg mixture. Return the bowl of egg mixture to the simmering water bath and whisk constantly over medium-low heat until the gelatin is fully dissolved, about 2 minutes. Be careful not to overcook the eggs, as they may curdle, and make sure when whisking to bring all of the mixture up from the bottom of the bowl. Refrigerate until cold, whisking occasionally, then fold in the whipped cream.
For the Cream Frosting: In a medium bowl whip the cream with the sugar, vanilla, and brandy to stiff peaks. Set aside in the refrigerator.
For the Simple Syrup: Over medium heat, dissolve the sugar in 1/4 cup water and the sherry.
To Assemble: Place the cake on a cake stand. With a long sharp knife, trim off the very top (about 1/8 inch) of the cake. To slice the cake into 3 equal rounds, score 2 evenly spaced lines all around the sides of the cake. Cut into the score lines about 1 inch deep all the way around the cake, then make a clean cut all the way through the cake to separate it into three layers. With a very sharp knife, trim off the outer brown edges of each layer.
Place the top layer of cake on a flat serving plate. Place the cake ring around the cake. Dip a pastry brush into the simple syrup and brush it generously onto the cake layer to moisten it. Spread about half of the zabaglione on top. Add the next layer of cake, brush with the syrup, and top with the remaining syrup and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or overnight, to set.
Remove the ring from the cake. Frost the whole cake with the cream frosting, spreading it very evenly and smoothly. (Use a cake comb if you have one.) Sprinkle the amaretti crumbs on top. Dust the tops of the meringues with cocoa, then press them lengthwise into the sides of the cake, spacing them evenly. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to serve, or overnight.

4 Odd Signs The Person You Just Started Dating Is Seriously Bad News
When you just start dating someone it can feel amazing when they pull out all the stops in the beginning. They reek of charm. They shower you with affection and gifts.
All of it seems too good to be true. Before you know it, you're calling your friends, telling them about the amazing person you just met. It all seems perfect, until…
There is a powerful reason why it's so important to take your time in a new relationship.
Psychopaths can be men or women and are evenly distributed 50/50, so keep in mind that I'm referring to both genders. It's important to understand what it feels like when one shows up.
The term love bomb was originally coined by the Moonies, a cult, who used it to mean "a genuine expression of friendship, fellowship, interest or concern." The term was later adopted to describe the techniques that psychopaths use to attract people in their relationships.
Often, it is the absolute only way to tell that something is off with the other person since they are so skilled at keeping on the mask.
What is Love Bombing?
The love bomb is the stage in the beginning of the relationship with a psychopath where the other person pulls out the stops.
The psychopath reeks of charm. They superficially flatter you and make you feel like a million bucks. They might give you gifts or do incredible things for you. They listen and incorporate everything they hear into creating the kind of relationship that you deeply crave. They use things that they learn about you to reflect back a persona that mirrors exactly what you want in a mate.
Why Is Being Love Bombed Is A Red Flag?
Often, the psychopath's charming, over the top loving behavior is your only sign that something is amiss with a new relationship. The feeling of being overwhelmed and distracted by the amount of love and caring attention being heaped upon you feels amazing. This combined with the way that they seem to adore you is really hard to resist.
The psychopath uses this overwhelming attention to hook their partner and gain the upper hand. After all, if someone acted the way the psychopath does in the end of a relationship at the beginning, few people would fall for them in the first place.
Years later, victims of psychopaths still say things like "s/he was so great in the beginning, why can't I get that person back? Was it all not real? I know they love me, they showed me so." The reason why this feels too good to be true is that it was all a dangerous illusion crafted with the sole purpose of gaining their victim's love and trust.
4 Signs You Are Being Love Bombed
1. Over the top statements at inappropriately early times, any time in the first few months.
Things like:
"You're the most amazing person I've ever met."
"I knew you were the one the moment I laid eyes on you."
"You are the best thing that has ever happened to me"
"There is no one in the world as beautiful, handsome, intelligent as you."
Notice the use of absolutes. It isn't normal for healthy, well-adjusted people in the beginning of relationships to talk like this. Consider that they can't really know you that well that early in your relationship.
2. Watch for lots of statements about your similarities.
The nature of psychopaths is that they are chameleons who adopt new masks when they are trying to seduce someone new. They listen a lot and say things that are meant to make you feel exactly alike.
Statements like:
"Wow, I ALSO played that weird sport and was a fan of tuba music."
3. Notice if someone seems to be everything you have ever wanted in a mate.
Space and time are your weapons. Keep a rein on your emotions. If you have that "wow, this seems off" feeling in your gut, always listen and RUN.
4. They Evoke Sympathy
Hearing sob stories?
Psychopaths know that people love to root for the underdog and use it to their advantage. They often hide the fact that they are completely unemployable and are a total parasite with lots of statements about how they are down on their luck and just looking for a big break.
Remember that healthy partners have pride! A healthy person won't bring their skeletons out of the closet right away and walk them around for fear that you will be scared off.
The psychopath knows this and will use their down on their luck stories to make them seem more honest and trust worthy, when in fact they are the opposite.
How to Protect Yourself
Your greatest weapon in any new relationship is time. Never, ever, make big, life-changing decisions in the beginning of a new relationship. Just take your time and see where it goes. If the other person is genuine, they will also want to get to know you and won't mind if it takes a while.
Remember there is never a rush to do anything.
The longer that you are with one of these people, the harder it becomes for them to maintain the mask and keep their lies straight.
From other's reports, it takes three to six months before the mask starts slipping. That is why the beginning of the relationship is such a critical time to take it slow.
Phew. I know all of this sounds scary, but rest assured, psychopaths make up about 1% of the population based on research.
There are tons of great people out there who have never considered making a skin suit.
Remember to always listen to your gut feeling and use space and time to your advantage in a new relationship.

No change today, how exciting. Or not.
Today's picture is from the Sunderland Air Show. It's a Lynx helicopter:
Quite some time ago[1], Amazon launched their Kindle ebook thingy. This looked to be quite a nice thing, apart from the little detail of it only being available in North America, depending on specific phone networks to function, and being pretty much tied to the US amazon.com store.
A bit later, they managed to sort out the networks thingy, and allowed customers in the UK to buy the then latest model. This was better, but it was still tied to the US store, which meant that if you wanted to buy books, you needed to convert all the prices into your local currency to work out if they were reasonable. And there was the problem that with it being a US store, some books you might have wanted to buy electronically were simply not available.
While all this was going on, I had my Sony Reader, a device whose usefulness is still limited by the frankly stupid prices being charged by Waterstones for current books. Hint: if you're charging more for the eBook than Amazon's price for the paperback, I'm not going to be giving you the money. You'd think that was obvious enough, but not to Waterstones, apparently…
Moving along, the Sony Reader is mostly neglected, and I (as I might have hinted) succumbed to the Oooh Shiny! and bought an iPad. I went for the basic 16GB WiFi only model, which works quite nicely for web browsing, email, Sudoku and, would you believe it, reading books. The Apple iBooks thingy is not too bad, but once again it's tied to a store that has slightly odd pricing and (last time I looked) a limited range. But for things like electronic versions of O'Reilly computer books, downloaded in PDF format, the excellent Good Reader application is great. It's a lot easier to prop up the iPad next to the computer when I'm working through something than trying to juggle a very large and thick paperback. Works well.
But there's more – the thing about Amazon is, that despite them bringing out newer and better Kindle hardware, they don't really care about the hardware. What they want is to sell books. They pretty much want to sell every book that gets bought, which is why they make a Kindle app for Windows, Mac OS and the iPad (amongst other things, more to follow, more than likely). Install the app, connect it to your Amazon account and you can browse the site and buy books, which are delivered immediately. This actually beats an actual Kindle, where web browsing is not as shiny, fully coloured or nifty as it is on the iPad.
But it was still tied to the US store, which was a bit naff. However, all that has changed. You can now order a new model Kindle direct from amazon.co.uk (pre-release stocks are all allocated, if you order now, you won't see your new toy before 8 September), and more importantly, the UK Kindle store is open for business.
And it looks like it'll do some quite serious business. Loads of books (over 400,000 right now, and that will grow), and generally priced below Amazon's paperback prices. For instance, currently popular top-selling novels are below £3 each, which combined with the whole immediate free delivery thing finally makes eBooks look like a cost-effective option. And this is, in general, a Good Thing. [2]
So, if you have an iPad already, just get the Kindle app from the App Store and have a look at what you can get. For books with pictures, diagrams or other such things, the iPad app or a computer will be the best option. You lose the ultra crispness and enormous battery life you'll get with the Kindle and its eInk display, but you'll see more stuff. If you want to read books that are wholly or mostly plain text, then an actual Kindle is seriously worth thinking about.
There are two models on offer: the expected one with 3G and WiFi for £149, which will download books from most parts of the world with a mobile signal, at no additional cost, and a WiFi only version at a quite surprisingly low £109, which is cheaper than a Sony, and comes with a keyboard for annotation and the like. If you only want to download books at home, or where you can connect to a WiFi network, or indeed have one of those quite spiffy 3 MiFi dongles[3] you can go for the cheaper model quite happily.
In fact, if I was making a recommendation, I'd say buy the WiFi model and a MiFi, which will let you connect your other toys to the internet when you're travelling or just generally out and about.
See the Kindle Store for all the stuff. If you're using AdBlock, you probably won't see the picture links above, but the text one should work.
Oh, and one reason to consider the Kindle rather than using the app on the device of your choice: newspaper subs can only be delivered to actual Kindles for reasons that weren't specified when I tried to get a sample. If that's relevant to you, you'll be wanting a Kindle.
[1] Waves hand vaguely
[2] eBooks lack the features of "pass on to a friend" and "donate to a charity shop" that physical books have, but also lack the "taking up too much space" and "where did I put that one, it should be on this shelf" features. Overall, so long as the prices are right, that balances out for me.
[3] The newer model, quite apart from looking cooler and being able to keep an informative display on all the time, also works properly with Macs, and doesn't require juggling three buttons to make it work. Nice. I'll probably upgrade mine at some point.
