Hair removal can be done in various ways. Most people find going to beauty salons not only expensive but also time consuming. They would instead prefer to try home hair removal methods.
Hair on the delicate parts of the body such as face, upper lip, chin and eye brows can be easily removed by using a tweezers. Tweezers are easily available at cosmetic stores and involves plucking out the extra hair growth in the areas. Threading is however a skill and may require the help of a friend who can do it for you. Else it is better left to the beautician.
There are two types of wax available. One is the hot bees wax and the other is the cold wax made of sugars and soy cream. Waxing can be easily done at home. The kits containing the solutions are available at stores. One has to simply apply the wax on the desired area and within a few minutes pull it out using thick cloth strips, which can be sourced from your old wardrobe or purchased as disposable readymade ones available in the stores. The method can be used to remove hair from all parts of the body.
Available as electric and manual versions, epilators perform the same function as waxing but use small metal clasps arranged on a head that rotates and pulls out hair form its roots. This is very easy and quick and the instruments are available in all gadget stores. Good branded ones last for a long time and do not have any replaceable parts.
There are a few gadgets in the market that are sold as home electrolysis and laser kits. But their efficacy is not proven and since these methods require technique in handling, independent and untrained use of such products is questionable. It is advisable to do sufficient research before using such products.

Universal energy generator
The development of power bank is very fast during these two years. Now there are various kinds of power banks sold in digital malls. But as far as I know, the most powerful power bank in the current market is designed with two output ports only. It is enough for personal use, but there should be a one which is specially designed for public use. Faced with such a situation, SINOELE developed a kind of charging station which we called it universal energy generator.
Not the same as power bank, there is no battery inside the universal energy generator, it is a kind of charging station that need a power line to connect it to the socket to get the electricity. Then you can charge your mobile phone via this universal energy generator. The most obvious feature of the universal energy generator is its powerful charging system. With 4 output ports on the top surface, and 2 USB ports near the bottom, it can both charge 6 mobile phones at the same time. The 10 replaceable connectors can match with 95% of the smartphones in the current market, including iPhone. So it will be quite helpful if there is such a universal energy generator in the public place, such as hotel, restaurant, bar, office, or even at home.
If you are a boss who own a hotel, or restaurant, bar, company, I think you should consider to buy it for your customers or workers. As an ordinary consumer, you can also take a look at this universal energy generator, maybe your family will need it.

For the last 10 years or so, the AAHPS/ACLTA Executive has discussed the idea of ACLTA-regulated Accreditation for child life therapy professionals – a process by which we could start to regulate and lift the quality of services nationally.
ACLTA Accreditation is the first truly national benchmark in child life therapy – by members, for members. The Association envisions this process evolving over time, becoming more rigorous, and eventually becoming a registration process (as per other allied health).
Currently Accreditation is under review. The Executive Committee will inform members when a new package is available. If you have further questions please contact firstname.lastname@example.com

Year 6
Having grown up in Birmingham, UK, I went on to university in Nottingham where I received a Bachelor of Honours BA Psychology & Education and QTS.
I spent 4 years working in Nottingham at inner city Primary faculties where I held roles of PSHE and Science coordinator. I had the privilege of teaching children from a number of different backgrounds, cultures and religions. Due to my interest and enjoyment of this diversity, I moved abroad in order to teach and learn from children from across the world.
For 8 years I have been working at Nord Anglia International School, Pudong in Shanghai. During my time there I have taught across the key stages and held various leadership roles helping to shape the way the curriculum is taught throughout the Primary School. These included PSHE, Science and Literacy coordinator. For seven years I have been working in Year 6 at NAIS. Alongside my primary teaching, I have also taught and developed the IB Psychology programme in the school, complemented by my MSc in Applied Psychology. This has been a wonderful opportunity for me; enabling me to develop and strengthen many transferable teaching skills and strategies.
I am excited to once again have the opportunity to focus solely on my primary school teaching. It is here that my true passion lies. The final year of primary is a crucial one for many reasons. It is my belief that developing children's self-confidence and enabling them to reach their full potential is important. I am dedicated to employing a range of pedagogical strategies in order to excite and engage the learners in my classroom as well as embracing technology in order to provide a truly modern learning experience. Efficient, organised, creative and imaginative, I harness these skills and use them to support lessons in order to engage and extend my students learning. Nurturing students, raising the profile of high performance learning and embedding a safe environment in which to learn further contributes to what I offer as a professional. Furthermore, I incorporate collaborative learning strategies as well as student led and independent work.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my first year at NAS Dubai. NAS has given me the opportunity to teach children with inquiring minds in a rich and stimulating environment. The exciting curriculum in Year 6 provides challenging opportunities for all students and I have found that creating a rich learning environment helps to develop students' skills and work towards achieving their maximum potential. I look forward to continuing this with my new students.
In my spare time I enjoy travelling and discovering new places. I have been fortunate enough to work and travel in numerous countries around the world. I enjoy living in Dubai, with my husband, young daughter and pet dog.
I am very much looking forward to meeting my new class and I have no doubt it is going to be an enjoyable and enriching experience.

"We've got to be able to prove the accuracy of our energy-savings predictions to be able to sell home performance."
I'll reject that premise outright. It's just not necessary. I'll go further to suggest that if you're relying on energy-savings alone to drive you're business, you're going to struggle. Unless energy prices shoot up, savings won't make the phone ring. And savings won't make most sales.
That said, the better you can predict energy savings, the better off you are.
Now, let me try to reconcile this.
First, you don't need accurate energy-savings numbers for the simple reason that the driving motivator for most home improvement purchases isn't energy savings. There are a lot of other benefits, from comfort, to reducing ice damming problems, to fixing wet, stinky crawlspaces that people are willing to pay for. Making the daughter's bedroom livable all winter or the home office usable in the summer are often more important than energy savings. (Corollary: if you rely on the cost-effective energy-savings argument alone, you will have much smaller projects. Energy prices are too low to drive deeper saving projects.)
I'll also note that accurate (or precise) savings numbers aren't necessary to establish very robust energy-savings guarantees. Perry Bigelow did this in Chicago back in the late 80s/early 90s on affordably-built new homes.
And note, I do not mean doing this by using any existing modeling tool which can give very precise and wildly inaccurate numbers. Bigelow knew he couldn't precisely dial in the savings numbers, but he could still offer eye-popping guarantees simply by being very conservative in his assumptions. The key here is "conservative". I don't want to hit 95% of my prediction. Or 99%. And 60% won't fly at all. Nor don't I want to fall short of the target half the time. I want to overdeliver 100% of the time—or very close to 100% of the time.
So, on to the second part of the equation. The better you can predict energy savings, the higher you can ratchet up your predictions and the more you can differentiate yourself. The more experience you gain, and the more results you see, the better your internal prediction can before, and the higher your customer-facing guarantee can be.
There are other reasons, outside what is necessary to run your business today, why better savings predictions will be useful. Unlocking financial markets is one of them. But you don't have to wait for that to be successful fixing people's homes today. You do, though, need to stop hiding behind models. And stop hiding behind program requirements to use models. If you want the program cheese, follow the program requirements. But you can sell the benefits your customers want, explain what the program mumbo jumbo means (but only if you choose to participate in a program), and be very clear about what you're going to deliver—and then deliver it–models be damned.

Graciela Romero from War on Want introduces the food sovereignty movement, which puts the people who produce, distribute and consume food at the centre of decisions on food systems and policies, rather than the demands of markets and corporations.
The type of food we eat, how it is produced and who has access to it is mainly decided by big agri-businesses and retailers, whose last concern is the wellbeing of people or the planet we live on. Many people know very little or nothing about where our food comes from, what is in the processed food that we eat daily or at what expense we have seasonal fruits all year around, putting aside how workers and animals are exploited and condemned to horrendous conditions. But turning a blind eye is convenient particularly for companies whose aim is to make profits throughout the entire food chain.
How did food become a trade commodity and an instrument to control, economically and politically, other people and countries?
How is it possible that countries with plenty of natural resources, where agriculture has been their main economic sector, became dependant on imported food and food aid?
Or indeed, how it is possible that in the UK people have to queue for canned food in 'food banks'?
Over decades governments and international financial institutions have paved the way for the disappearance of peasant agriculture and the rise of industrialised and corporate-led food production. Without government regulations to protect the public interest, a lack of policies to guarantee the rights of small-scale producers to access land, water and seeds, and with the enforcement of trade liberalisation at the expense of national food self-sufficiency, corporations and supermarkets have become the most powerful players in town.
The Green Revolution
One of the most dramatic examples in history of how governments colluded with corporations was the implementation of the so-called Green Revolution. "Though credited with saving the world from hunger and increasing yields, the Green Revolution led to the monopolisation of seed and chemical inputs by Northern companies, the loss of 90% of the South's agricultural biodiversity, the global shift to an oil-based agricultural economy, and the displacement of millions of peasants to fragile hillsides, shrinking forests and urban slums. The Green Revolution produced as many hungry people as it saved".(1)
Food overproduction was used as an engine to open up markets in the Global South for the benefit of agro-industries. Food surpluses are a bonanza for agri-businesses and Northern governments, and a death sentence for millions of small farmers all over the world.
As the UN Rapporteur on the Right to Food has expressed: "increasing food production to meet future needs, while necessary, is not sufficient. It will not allow significant progress in combating hunger and malnutrition if it is not combined with higher incomes and improved livelihoods for the poorest".(2)
Time and again expert studies have shown that the amount of food wasted in the world is a scandal that deconstructs any myth about the need for more food production to stop hunger. "The industrial food system discards... between a third and a half of all food that it produces. This is enough to feed the world's hungry six times over".(3) A recent study presented once again the shocking fact that "two billion tonnes of food produced around the world is never consumed by humans".(4) Whilst millions of people go to bed without a meal a day, "in the UK 30% of vegetables are not harvested due to their physical appearance".(5)
If this is the state of affairs, why do advocates of high-input monocultural agricultural systems and genetically modified crops continue to peddle the idea that the solution is to produce more food in the same industrialised way? And who produces and distributes this food? To get an insight into the reality, let's look at some key facts about the ownership of agricultural inputs, food distribution and consumption.
Worldwide the trade of seeds and agrochemicals is controlled by ten companies, including Monsanto, Bayer and Syngenta. The profits from this trade have grown to billions: "in 2010 the world's four largest agrochemical companies and three largest grain traders chalked up profits of around US $20 billion".(6)
The concentration of capital increases dramatically in the food chain from seed trade to harvest trade. Since "financial analysts transformed food into a mathematical formula which became known as the Goldman Sachs Commodity Index…. the prices of cattle, coffee, cocoa, corn and wheat began to rise slowly first then rapidly. Holdings in commodity index funds ballooned from US$13 billion in 2003 to US$ 317 billion by 2008".(7) Unregulated food speculators, banks, hedge funds and pension funds were one of the main drivers of "the price boom which contributed to food crises sparking riots in more than thirty countries and drove the number of world's "food insecure" to more than a billion".(8)
Large supermarkets have consistently destroyed the livelihoods of thousands of small retailers and traditional small-growers markets. In the UK, the Big Four – Tesco, Sainsbury's, Morrisons and Asda – control more than three quarters of the grocery market. Supermarkets' sales of cheap food has meant misery and poverty for workers in the UK and in developing countries. A trade union organiser in the UK stated that "the big four supermarkets are the largest private sector employers in the UK and among the biggest profiteers from [workers'] precarity. Exploitative agencies are hired by exploitative food processing, packaging, manufacturing and logistics companies, supplying major supermarket chains that know about the exploitation but refuse to take responsibility".(9)
There are insidious contradictions and clear conflicts of interest within the global food system that need to be tackled. Around a billion people live in hunger and millions of small-scale farmers, pastoralists, and landless workers have found themselves squeezed by multinational corporations and governments conveniently enthused with neo-liberal policies promoted by international financial institutions.
Government responses to the failure of the food system have been focused on food consumption. In 1996 the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) stated that "food security exists when all people, at all times have physical, social and economic access to sufficient, safe and nutritious food which meets their dietary needs and food preferences for an active and healthy life". This response fails to recognise that hunger is essentially a political problem that can be resolved only by changes in the balance of power. By focusing exclusively on the consumption rather than the distribution and production of food, the food security approach fails to address any of the structural problems that threaten the long-term sustainability of the global food system.
La Via Campesina, the international peasant movement, presented a positive and comprehensive alternative at the World Food Summit organised by the FAO the same year – the Food Sovereignty Framework. The initiative was born out of the struggle of millions of landless people and small-scale farmers in developing countries to maintain their traditional way of producing food, building communities and looking after nature. Food sovereignty was a political alternative to the failed and unsustainable corporate and industrialised global food system.
Food Sovereignty addresses issues of production, distribution and consumption in a holistic manner. It goes beyond hand-outs of food promoted by governments and other champions of the food security approach. Food Sovereignty stems from a perspective of power balance, a deep understanding of the dynamics of gender power imbalance, and advocates for democratisation of international financial institutions, reorganising food trade, ending the globalisation of hunger, ending the privatisation of natural resources and for agroecology as the sustainable way to produce food.
La Via Campesina has grown into a global movement that brings together 150 organisations from 70 countries across the world. It continues to struggle for the realisation and globalisation of food sovereignty. Over the last sixteen years, the food sovereignty framework has expanded its frontiers and attracted people on all fronts. In 2007, at the Nyeleni Food Sovereignty Forum in Mali, a final statement was issued presenting food sovereignty as "the right of peoples to healthy and culturally appropriate food produced through ecologically sound and sustainable methods, and their right to define their own food and agriculture systems".(10)
In 2011, 400 people from 34 European countries gathered at the Nyeleni-European Food Sovereignty Forum in Austria to join the call for food sovereignty.(11) The food sovereignty movement continues to grow in strength and in numbers. In the UK, people from all over Britain gathered at the food sovereignty forum in July 2012 to share ideas and talk about food. Building on the numerous food projects and campaigns already happening from Scotland to Brighton, Wales to Hastings, participants of the forum set the foundations for the food sovereignty movement in the UK.(12)

Practice assignments, guidance on exam techniques, time management workshops, and one-to-one legal skills advice sessions are offered throughout the academic year to prepare you for these assessments.
This module consists of an examination of the major theoretical approaches to public international law and aims to develop knowledge and understanding of the diverse theoretical approaches to public international law and to discern the influence of these approaches on the practical development of public international law.
This module examines the mechanisms by which international law seeks to protect and conserve biological diversity in terms of species and ecosystems, as well as genetic diversity within species.
This module considers how business increasingly conducts its operations with responsibility to its stakeholders and to society at large. It examines the emergence of the business and human rights regime, which forms the basis for addressing both legal developments and voluntary initiatives across a spectrum of business and industry sectors and different types of firms operating both globally and locally.
The module content is diverse and wide-ranging, and draws on case studies in order to foster knowledge about the impacts of business on human rights protection. It considers key issues in the current business and human rights regime, including states' obligation to protect human rights, the corporate responsibility to respect human rights, human rights due diligence and access to remedy for human rights violations by corporations and other business entities.
This module will involve a critical analysis of the conflict of laws rules dealing with issues arising in a commercial context. The module begins with jurisdiction and recognition and enforcement of foreign judgments. The module then deals with choice of law issues in contract and tort.
Because of the growing role of the European Union in this area, the interaction between European and traditional English approaches to commercial conflict of laws issues will be a pervasive theme of the module.
This module builds upon the more conceptual and theoretical inquiries undertaken in Foundations of Criminal Justice by identifying emergent principles in the rapidly developing corpus of international criminal jurisprudence.
Consideration of the contribution of municipal legal systems to the pursuit of criminal justice in the international arena serves as a general introduction to the detailed doctrinal analysis of elements of crimes and defences, rules of evidence and procedure, and sentencing principles which comprises the bulk of the option.
Once identified and elaborated, rules and principles of international criminal law and procedure will be subjected to critical scrutiny, by drawing upon national and comparative legal perspectives, as well as general principles of international humanitarian law and the international law of human rights.
From the history of detention and imprisonment at the post-World War II International Military Tribunals, the course will progress to look at the penal regimes of the contemporary international criminal courts and tribunals, including the ICTY, ICTR, MICT, SCSL and ICC.
You will learn about the systems for and conditions in international remand detention and analyse the complaints and disciplinary procedures and oversight mechanisms operating within these international facilities.
Seminars will be devoted to discussions about the various penalties international criminal courts can impose, and the reasons international judges give for their imposition. You will also learn about life for international prisoners post-conviction, through an exploration of the various systems used to enforce international sentences of imprisonment.
Seminars will look at the degree of control international courts retain over these sentences and their responsibility for international prisoners while they are housed in national prisons. This module will also look at the remedies that should be and are available for international prisoners whose human rights have been violated, and address the question of whether it is necessary, feasible or desirable to create an international prison system.
This module will open with a consideration of the historical origins and philosophical underpinnings of economic and social rights (ESR). Key themes that will be developed throughout the course include perceptions of the nature of such rights and the related question of the extent to which such rights are, and should be, justiciable.
You will evaluate the different ways in which ESR are protected and implemented, both domestically and internationally (for example, by considering international and regional ESR frameworks, the role of NHRI, tribunals and other mechanisms by which ESR are given effect to).
The module will consider litigation and judicial enforcement of ESR in jurisdictions such as South Africa, Argentina, Colombia, India, Ireland, Germany, South Africa, the UK and the United States, as appropriate. Specific substantive ESR will be addressed in dedicated module sessions (for instance, the rights to adequate housing and health).
Ultimately, the module will equip you with the knowledge and understanding necessary to engage in, and critically analyse, the debates surrounding ESR that exist both amongst legal commentators and at a broader societal level.
The module covers articles 2, 3, 5, 6, 8 and 10 of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), together with the procedural provisions of the ECHR.
The module is designed to elucidate those general themes and principles that have emerged from the substantial body of detailed rules regulating the environment in international law, particularly since the 1972 Stockholm conference on the Human Environment. It will consider the extent to which these rules are evolving into a coherent legal regime.
This module explores the European Union's constitutional system and governance structures. We will discuss the unique nature of the EU as an integrated multilevel legal order of European nation states in which, in certain areas, powers have been transferred to federal institutions.
Theories of federalism, functionalism and institutionalism will be explored and notions of the legal and political accountability of the EU as a "system of governance" are a core feature of the module. The use of law as a mechanism for integration, and the role of the courts in such a process, will be examined.
This module covers:
The module covers the following:
This module offers the fundamentals of international commercial arbitration, the most important dispute resolution mechanism for international business transactions.

The module focuses mainly on English law of arbitration which is put in comparative perspective and compared and contrasted especially with the UNCITRAL Model Law on International Commercial Arbitration.
The module examines the role of the law in regulating business and protecting the consumer.
It begins by looking at economic and social theories of regulation, identifying what we seek to achieve through regulating, and why regulation is necessary in a competitive market. Next, it examines how we regulate by identifying and critiquing the techniques of regulation. The module then examines how businesses can be held to account through sanctioning, both under the criminal law and in other ways.
Next, the module looks at the protection of consumers' economic interests (in particular through unfair commercial practices law) and consumers' physical integrity (in particular through product safety law). The module ends by examining the theory and practice of enforcement.
This module explores the strengths and weaknesses of different models of proof in both domesticand international criminal justice systems and the extent to which an international consensus is emerging around the principles of evidence and proof.
An introduction to international criminal law issues, with particular emphasis on institutions (such as Nuremberg and Tokyo IMTs, the ad hoc Tribunals and the International Criminal Court) as well as substantive and procedural aspects of international criminal law.

The global, regional and national mechanisms of human rights protection will be introduced and evaluated. A selection of substantive human rights will be examined and contemporary challenges to human rights protection will be discussed.
This module examines the legal constraints of international and national warfare. It traces the historical and contextual development of the law and focuses upon the principles which govern warfare. During the module, you will also study the mechanisms for the enforcement and the implementation of international humanitarian law.
This module deals with key aspects of the international system for the regulation of foreign investment. The module focuses primarily on issues arising from investor-host state relations under Bilateral Investment Treaties or BITs and some other International Investment Agreements or IIAs but also touches upon international investment contracts, where relevant.
Special attention will be given to the means of regulating investment using such instruments, including standards of treatment and breaches thereof, the taking of foreign property and the settlement of investment disputes by means of arbitration.

A techno-ecological marvel!
New York, NY (PRWEB) April 06, 2015
Some of you may have heard of Neapolitan Express and know it as a mobile pizza-carrying truck, but these trucks are quite different. With 12 so far, they are a techno-ecological marvel; custom made and powered by compressed natural gas and solar panels mounted on the roof. Inside are custom made ovens that can go as high as 1000°, and what they cook in them is really special; all organic ingredients, non-GMO, no sugar added, no fructose corn syrup, and low sodium, creating an extremely tasty and healthful pizza. Is this a contradiction? Tasty and healthful rarely go hand in hand, so let's put it to the test.
From their humble beginnings with their first brick and mortar location uptown on 111th street, and growing in a short time to a second location in the heart of the financial district, Neapolitan Express is taking this town by storm.
Read the full review presented by Tom Mastrianni from "Wine & Dine with Mastro" as he critiques 8 of the offerings which will be unveiled at the newest location on April 7th in the Trump Building at 40 Wall Street. This will be the first time a pizzeria has ever opened on Wall Street and it looks like they hit it right on the money!

text: This morning I went down to Dow's Lake here in Ottawa to see if the tulips had started blooming yet. They are definitely looking promising but need a little more time to reach full gloriousness. The daffodils, however, were stunning and plentiful. Both the yellow and orange/white varieties filled the grassy areas with beauty. If you're in the area, it's definitely worth a visit.

There is always the Duomo, from any angle.
It's hard to get a full view of it from near it.
The Gates of Paradise on the Baptistry are still a draw, even though they're replicas.
You CAN climb the campanile, it's only 400 steps or so, but an ambulance waits to cart you off if you don't make it!
Close up, the cathedral is a riot of red and green marble and, naturally, restoration.

At this point, we were more than ready to switch Raja, the fat cat, to low-carb canned cat food, but which ones? To help with label-reading, I found an easy to use formula that computes the carbohydrate content of wet (and dry) foods. It was in the book: Your Cat: Simple New Secrets to a Longer, Stronger Life by Elizabeth M. Hodgkins, D.V.M.
|How to compare cat foods for their nutrient content and to determine the actual carbohydrates in each type of cat food:
Since no cat food lists the carbohydrate percent, you have to derive it from the "Guaranteed Analysis" percents that must appear on every can or bag of cat food. Ugh, math! Don't worry, it's not difficult.
|Here's how to compute the actual carbohydrate percent in canned cat food:
The guaranteed analysis numbers on canned food typically look like this:
Protein 11%; Fat 2%; Fiber 1.5%; Moisture 78%; Ash 2.5%
There are other vitamins and compounds listed too, but they are in such small amounts that they can be ignored in this computation.
|Notice there is no carbohydrate percent listed. This is typical. But here's a way to figure the carbohydrates from the guaranteed analysis: you simply add up all the guaranteed analysis percents for protein, fat, fiber, moisture and ash and subtract the total from 100%. That gives you the carbohydrate %.
For example, totaling the above percents for a can of cat food, you get 95.
Subtract that from 100 and you get: 100 - 95 = 5% carbohydrate (guaranteed analysis percent)
Wow! 5% carbs sounds really low... where can I buy that canned cat food? Not so fast. Unfortunately, what looks like a lo-carb cat food really isn't! The guaranteed analysis is a relative measurement, and takes into account the high moisture content of wet cat food.
|To get an actual carbohydrate percentage, you have to see what the ingredient percents will be on a "dry matter" basis. That is, with the moisture removed from the equation. Then you can tell what your cat is really eating in a can of food, besides the water. After all, the moisture (water) content is typically 78% in canned cat food! (By the way, that moisture is a GOOD thing! It helps hydrate your kitty for healthy kidney function.)
|Here's how to figure the actual nutrients, including carbs, in that same can of cat food:
- Remember, the guaranteed analysis in our example was:
Protein 11%
Fat 2%
Fiber 1.5%
Moisture 78%
Ash 2.5%
Carbohydrate 5%
- To remove the moisture from the equation, subtract the moisture percent, 78%, from 100% as follows: 100% - 78% = 22%
- Then, divide each of the nutrients in the guaranteed analysis by the 22% you just computed:
For example, if you divide the protein % by 22 you get: 11 / 22 = .5 which equals 50% dry matter protein (just move the decimal point 2 places to the right to get %.) By the way, that's a nice, high protein percent. Very good so far.
- Now let's try to find the actual carbohydrate % in this can of cat food. Remember, it was a mere 5% in the guaranteed analysis, which sounds very low.
But, if you divide 5 by 22 you get .227, which is a whopping 22.7% carbohydrates on a dry matter basis! Wow! Suddenly what we thought was a low-carb canned food is as high in carbs as some dry cat foods. Not good for our cat's diet at all!
I know it's a pain to have to figure all this out especially when you're in the store reading labels, but your cat will lose weight and be much healthier if you do.
To help with your label-reading, here's a shortcut that simplifies the math...
VERY IMPORTANT... This shortcut works ONLY for moisture between 75 - 80% guaranteed analysis and ONLY for canned cat food:
- First, add the Guaranteed Analysis percents for Protein + Fat + Fiber + Moisture + Ash
- If the total is 98% or higher, then actual carbohydrates will be 10% or less, which is what you are looking for.
If the moisture content is NOT in the range of 75% - 80%, then you must use the following 4-Step formula instead of the shortcut:
- Add Guaranteed Analysis Protein% + Fat% + Fiber% + Moisture% + Ash% = Total Guaranteed Analysis % (TGA%)
(ex: Protein 11% + Fat 2% + Fiber 1.5% + Moisture 78% + Ash 2.5% = 95% (TGA%))
- Subtract: 100% - TGA% = Carbohydrate %
(ex: 100% - 95% = 5%)
- Subtract: 100% - Moisture % = Dry Matter Divisor (DMD)
(ex: 100% - 78% = 22 (DMD))
- Carbohydrate % divided by DMD = Actual (dry matter) carbs %
(ex: 5 / 22 = .227 which is 22.7% actual dry matter carbs)
The only foods we want are the ones where dry matter carbs are 10% or less.
Here are some examples of how to compute carbohydrate % for canned and dry cat food:
Wet (canned) food example: Fancy Feast Cod, Sole & Shrimp
|Guaranteed Analysis:
Protein: 13%
Fat: 2%
Fiber: 1.5%
Moisture: 78%
Ash: 3.5%
Total: 98%
|To calculate the Carbohydrate amount on a dry matter basis:
Subtract Total Guaranteed Analysis % from 100%
100% - 98% = 2% carbohydrate
Wait, that's NOT the actual carbs! To compute the actual dry matter carbohydrate percent, subtract the moisture % from 100%
(100% - moisture %) = 100% - 78% = 22%
Then, take 2% (percent of carbs computed) divided by 22% = .09 = 9% carbohydrate.
So on a dry matter basis the amount of carbohydrate in this canned food is 9 percent. Good for your cat!
Dry food example: Science Diet Indoor Cat Mature Adult
|Guaranteed Analysis:
Protein: 29%
Fat: 17.5%
Fiber: 10%
Moisture: 11%
Ash: 2.5%
Total: 70%
|To calculate the Carbohydrate amount on a dry matter basis:
Subtract Total Guaranteed Analysis % from 100%
100% - 70% = 30% carbohydrate
Wait, that's NOT the actual carbs! To compute the actual dry matter carbohydrate percent, subtract the moisture % from 100%
(100% - moisture %) = 100% - 11% = 89%
Then, take 30% (percent of carbs computed) divided by 89% = .337 = 33.7% carbohydrate.
So on a dry matter basis the amount of carbohydrate in this dry food is about 34% percent. Not good for your cat!
NOTE: You don't have to go through all the above calculations when you're shopping for canned cat food. If the Guaranteed Analysis moisture % is 75-80%, then simply use the SHORTCUT above to find low-carb food.
So, armed with the shortcut and the 4 step formula, I'm heading out to find some decent canned foods for Raja.
Coming up... the results of my hours of research at pet food stores.

- M.C. Escher Waterfall 1000 Piece Jigsaw Puzzle
Product Description
Waterfall is a 1000-piece jigsaw puzzle by Maurits Cornelis Escher, one of the world's most famous graphic artists. The artwork shows a physically impossible perpetual motion machine where water from the base of a waterfall appears to run downhill along the path before reaching the top of the waterfall. This lightly colored and highly detailed puzzle has spheres atop the towers, a garden of bizarre, giant plants below the mill and a background that seems to be a climbing expanse of terraced farmland.
M.C. Escher drew over 2000 sketches in his lifetime and is most famous for his so-called impossible constructions showing people and staircases ascending and descending in multiple directions at the same time. In addition to being a graphic artist, Escher also designed tapestries, postage stamps and murals, as well as illustrated books.
Every Buffalo Games jigsaw puzzle is manufactured in the U.S.A. from recycled puzzle board. A precision cutting technique guarantees that every piece will fit soundly with the company's signature Perfect Snap™. A bonus puzzle poster is also included so that you have a handy reference of what the completed puzzle should look like while you put yours together.
- 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle
- Finished size is 26.75 x 19.75 inches
- Includes bonus poster for help in solving
- Manufactured from premium quality materials
- Made in the United States

Safe Care Clean products are comprised solely of plant-based, non-ionic materials including alcohols, soy and cotton seed. The potency of our cleaning product compounds is due to the multiplying effect of completely changing the fingerprint of the root chemistries into very powerful irreversible colloids (suspensions) with very unique properties.
Atomic dirt busting particles.
Safe Care Clean's super cleaning power is thanks to an army of surfactant (surface-active agents) molecules called micelles, found in the colloid. When combined with water, the micelles break water's surface tension (the property that keeps water droplets round), resulting in 'super wet' water. This same action enables the micelles to penetrate grease, oil and related organic soils and hold them in liquid suspension. The micelle cleaning action is similar to an atomic explosion where random interaction of the particles loosens the soil.
Being a solubiliser, our feature product, SC1000™ Aqueous Cleaner is superior to traditional dispersants and emulsifiers. Unlike emulsifiers that encapsulate the oil molecule, SC1000™ simply separates oil molecules into fine droplets. This means grime and dirt can easily be washed away with water and the product is readily biodegradable.
A little bit goes a long way.
SC1000™ Aqueous Cleaner, is so powerful that crude oil will be completely lifted from the cleaning surface using only a small amount of SC1000™. By using less you save money and the environment.
Safe Care Clean products won't damage surfaces
SC1000™ is tough on dirt but gentle on cleaning surfaces. Generally, Safe Care Clean® Safety Solvents are non-reactive with cleaning surfaces including elastomerics such as viton, butyl, nylon, acrylics, HDPE/LDPE, styrenes, urethanes, vinyls and most inorganic paints and coatings.

I suspect that all Brass Tacks are made in ONE Factory. After 9 stores and over 2 DOZEN "brands" and seeing no difference in fit or finish I bought 2 12" sections of 1/16th brass rod and have begun cold forging my own.
They are for a new style of wood Scabbard for some of my miniatures, they incorporate a cold forged brass or copper belt/boot/pocket clip that can also double as a Bail for wearing as a neck knife.

Introduction:California the Golden State, has much to offer.
Disneyland is a California favorite since it first opened on July 17, 1955. It has much to offer from its rides, restaurants, and shopping. Divided up in 7 lands it has something for everybody.
Just a very short trip north of Disneyland is Knott's Berry Farm. Knott's has lots to offer from their famous fried chicken dinner, to their 40 rides. All in an old west ambiance.
Founded by Padre Fermin Lasuen of the Franciscan order on December 4, 1786. It's the only Mission in the California chains of Mission to have 2 bell towers.
Home of the giant Sequoia Sempervirens, an evergreen tree that con live up to 1,800 years. Redwoods can grow to 380 feet. The redwoods cover most of the California cost, but southern California where there is not enough rain to support them.
id the driest area in North America with an average 2.36 inches of rain a year. It nearly covers 3,000 square miles of the California Mojave Desert. Death Valley holds the record for the highest art temperature in the world at 134F on July 10, 1913.
California has it all from big cities, beaches, mountains, forests, and deserts. There is something for everyone in California.
I live in Southern California and have not been to all of these :)

Chapter 5
Goku looked up. He was panting, completely winded and without any strength left to spare. His golden hair shortened and returned to its natural black color. The saiyan hero allowed himself to drop back to the hangar deck of Four Freedoms Plaza.
There he was met by Johnny Storm, Sue Storm-Richards, Ben Grimm, and the Silver Surfer. The four of them were completely awed.
"THAT was AWESOME!" exclaimed the Human Torch. "It was everything I ever imagined it would be like to meet you! You rock soo much!"
"Remind me to never get in a fight with you," commented the Thing. Sue just shook her head.
The Silver Surfer bowed. "Truly, you are a power the universe must reckon with. I never expected a mortal being existed who had a power great enough to physically drive back Galactus as you did. Before today I had never seen any but the gods of the universe do so."
Goku looked at the four apologetically. "I'm sorry, guys. I just couldn't destroy him. Even using every ounce of strength I had it wasn't enough. I'm not even sure if a spirit bomb drawn from all the universe will be enough."
"Don't apologize, Goku," came the voice of Reed Richards. "You may have caused some major damage to this city, but you just might have saved the whole world. You gave me enough time to come up with what I think will keep Galactus from eating us. We all owe you our deepest gratitude."
"Well, that's good," replied Goku. "How will you stop him?"
"With the Ultimate Nullifier," explained Mr. Fantastic. "I've sort of manufactured my own version of it. It will be impossible for Galactus to tell it from the real thing." For Goku's benefit, Mr. Fantastic explained what it was for Goku's benefit.
"Gee, I wish my villains left weapons powerful enough to destroy themselves lying around. Would have made handling Majin Buu a lot easier!"
As Galactus returned, the Silver Surfer brought Reed Richards up with him on his board to face him. Goku rode with Ben Grimm in the Fantasticar. "Stop right there, Galactus. If you attempt to eat our world, we will destroy you. We have your Ultimate Nullifier and will use it in defense of our world!" called Mr. Fantastic.
"WAIT. There is no more need for that," came the imperious voice of Galactus. "I no longer need to devour your world." The great being regarded those before him. He took particular note of the Silver Surfer.
"Goku." The statement of his name from the powerful being was like an invocation. "Inhabitant of another Earth. Your actions this day have saved this world from my hunger." Goku felt a powerful probing of his mind and body. "Your power comes from your spirit. It comes from life. Were your energy of some other source, it is likely that in my extremely weakened and vulnerable condition I would have perished. And with my destruction, the entirety of this universe would have been doomed."
"Doomed?" the saiyan asked in confusion.
"Yes. I am an embodiment of entropy. My existence serves to hold back the primal forces that would tear this universe apart. Yet the cost of my existence is my hunger. So, I must feed. I do not feel remorse for the deaths I have caused, the entire planets I have destroyed. It is what I am. What I MUST be."
The gathered heroes looked on in surprise. Chatting away like this was not at all typical of an encounter with the great Devourer. Even the Silver Surfer found this familiarity to be surprising.
Galactus continued. "It is not my wont to explain myself to anyone. However, Goku, I need you to understand so that you can decide."
"Decide what?" the saiyan asked.
"Decide if you will become my herald." The Surfer turned to look at Goku warningly. He knew what all such service entailed. But before he could say anything, Galactus continued.
"I need you to cooperate with me willingly. For in you, Goku, I can see my own salvation. I need energy to continue to live. I can absorb and manipulate energy of any kind. However, when it comes to sustaining my own life force against the power that drains it, only life energy is compatible. I can use other energies to some extent, but they are inefficient. For that reason it was necessary for me to consume living worlds, for only in that had my hunger been sated for any length of time. Until I faced you."
"When I absorbed your energy, it filled me up. Not only that, but the one in another dimension with which I had become connected was filled as well. With my power restored, I have been freed of that connection. Yet still, your power was great enough to sate my hunger twice over." Galactus paused. "Now, how soon will you again have the strength to do as you just have?"
Goku shrugged. "Well, if I had a senzu bean I wouldn't have to wait. But, I guess after a few good meals I'll be good to go."
"Then, for the sake worlds uncounted, I ask you to accept my offer and become my new herald." Galactus turned his gaze to the Silver Surfer. "For my former servant, it was a solemn and dark duty. His task was to prepare worlds for my coming and destruction. For you, though, Goku," Galactus turned back to regard the saiyan, "I promise it will be a glorious role. While you shall serve to grant me sustenance first and foremost, you shall also serve to announce my coming to many worlds across the cosmos. And at your word I shall come. Not to destroy, but to set right injustice and be a bulwark against chaos."
"Hmm…" Goku mused, "it seems like something I'd like to do. But I have just one question…" Everyone looked at him expectantly. "Do I still get to be called Goku? Grandfather Gohan gave me that name."
Galactus nodded. "Certainly. You shall still be yourself. You will be both Goku and my herald. I make a promise not to interfere with your mind or will so long as serve to sustain me. And I shall be beholden to you as I have never been to any of my former heralds."
"Ok, then. I'll do it!" Goku smiled.
"Then, Goku of Earth. I take you as my Herald." Galactus extended his hand to encompass Goku. "And I impart to you the Power Cosmic!" Great cosmic energy poured from Galactus, a form of energy unfamiliar to Goku. That is, it was unfamiliar to him until his physical form began to rearrange and he began to possess the cosmic awareness that came with his new position.
Everyone gasped.
Son-Goku, hero now of two Earths and countless other planets stood before them an altered being. Where his hair and eyes had been black, they now shone with a silver luster. His outfit was no longer blue, now it shone as if a blend of crystal and metallic material. A curious "G" symbol was emblazoned over the left breast of the outfit.
Goku, herald of Galactus, smiled and extended his hand palm down. "NIMBUS!" he called out. Then, forming below his fingertips, appeared an ethereal cloud of mystic silver. Goku stood on the cloud and it supported him in midair. He could feel the cloud now as an extension of himself.
Galactus bid Goku spend his time on Earth recovering his natural strength. The former Devourer of Worlds returned to his Worldship to make plans. Finally, he could concentrate his powers and energies on accomplishing something more than simply surviving and existing for the purpose of existence. There was much to think on.
After eating a tremendous dinner at the Fantastic Four's expense, Reed Richards offered to help Goku communicate with the people in his own universe. "Oh, right! I almost forgot. Chi-chi would kill me if I didn't tell her where I was going. Again."
With a stable connection back to Goku's universe, Goku contacted his family telepathically.
-Hi guys! Don't worry about me.
-GOKU? What happened? You just disappeared from the World Martial Arts Tournament. Are you okay?
-I'm fine here. I had to fight a guy the size of a moon to stop him from eating the Earth of this universe. But it's taken care of. We're friends now and I'm going to go off with him to see the universe, sort of introducing him. And keeping him from eating more worlds. Everything is ok.
-So, you'll be coming back now?"
-I won't be home right away, and I guess this is going to be a full time job. I already got new clothes for it. And I've got a whole new bunch of techniques to try out! Oh, I've got a new name.
-A new name? You've already got two- Kakkarot and Goku. Why do you need another one?
-The giant who's giving me the job always calls the people he works for this.
You can still call me Goku, but I think if you try and reach me at work in this universe you should use my new name.
-What is it?
-Harold of Galactus

Photonics Center Celebrates Ten Years of Light
in NEWS
The Boston University Photonics Center opened its doors on June 13, 1997, and has since welcomed students, entrepreneurs, professors, researchers and, once, even a penguin.
The center celebrated its 10th anniversary on June 8, with a symposium hosting 140 attendees to look back at the center's construction and growth as well as ahead to a future rich in research, collaboration and entrepreneurialism.
"The Photonics Center is a well-functioning, properly-incentivized, openly collaborative interdisciplinary research center. It is a porous entity that allows people, ideas and projects to flow in and out of it," said BU President Robert Brown. "It is the home of new collaborations in science and technology and of the continuous seamless transition from innovation to commercialization."
Photonics Center Director Thomas Bifano, a professor of manufacturing engineering, spoke about the history and ideals of the center. Before any cement hit the ground, he said, "The vision was to create a center that would contribute new scientific knowledge and technological development to the field of photonics, especially with regard to core problems of importance to defense."
Today, faculty members from seven departments at BU, including all four engineering departments, research topics from medicine to astronomy in the Photonics Center, with more than $17 million in annual funding. The 235,000-square-foot building houses classrooms, specialized optics and precision measurement laboratories, an optoelectronic processing facility and a business incubator.
The first decade delivered on many of the Photonics Center's original goals. Prof. Theodore Moustakas' (ECE) blue LED technology is used around the world. Sophisticated defense tools such as the REDOWL anti-sniper system germinated at the Photonics Center, nurtured by College of Engineering alumnus Socrates Deligeorges (BME '97, '04), president of Bio-Mimetic Systems, the company developing this technology. Researchers have also received recognition for photonics research, including Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering chair Bahaa Saleh's recent Kuwait Prize for his extensive work in optics.
As the Photonics Center advances into new areas including biophotonics, nanophotonics and photonic materials, Bifano said, it continues to focus on values of interdisciplinary education, sustained entrepreneurship, innovation, collaboration and outreach. The last of these qualities, recalled Bifano, resulted in a penguin visiting the center when the New England Aquarium asked for help. The bird had sores on its feet that infrared light could heal, so the penguin visited the Photonics Center to receive its curative IR therapy.
Symposium speakers included entrepreneurs who had developed businesses in the Photonics Center Incubator.
"The whole center is very helpful to entrepreneurial efforts. The key to being successful at the Photonics Center was having access to faculty, students and laboratories," said Doug Adams, who started a company called SOLX to develop a novel glaucoma drug delivery system at the Incubator. He is now president of OccuLogix, the company that acquired SOLX. Small start-up companies need a "long runway" to succeed said Adams, and the Photonics Center provides it. "It's a wonderful place to grow a company," he said.
David A.B. Miller, co-director of the Stanford Photonics Research Center, delivered a lunchtime colloquium in which he discussed trends and opportunities for future photonics research including silicon photonics and nanophotonics. Light holds enormous potential for carrying information, he said, but researchers and industry have yet to take full advantage of this capability.
Additional sessions on bioimaging and photonics materials highlighted some current photonics research at BU — from Amit Meller's work on ultra-fast DNA sequencing to Moustakas' research in solid state lighting.

Hi, I'm Genevive Bjorn, a freelance science journalist and regular contributor to Nature Medicine. My work has appeared in The New York Times, Science, Nature, Dog Fancy, and Hana Hou!, the in-flight magazine of Hawaiian Airlines. I author two popular websites: "3 Minute Vacation" about Hawaii, and TheDailySmell.com dedicated to the sense of smell.
My first job as a writer was with an astronomical observatory based in Hilo, Hawaii. My first freelance reporting assignment was for The Haleakala Times, an independent newspaper based in Maui. I earned a Master's degree in biomedical sciences from the University of Hawaii and a Bachelor's degree in biology and anthropology from Boston University. I was born in southern California, and after living most of her life in Hawaii. I relocated to San Diego in 2010. I enjoy cooking, gardening, hiking with my dogs, photography, reading, surfing and stargazing.
About 18 months ago, my sense of smell got better, a whole lot better. To describe it as a super power is not an exaggeration. The back story can be found in my essay, entitled "The Night My Liver Started Running My Life," published October 19, 2010, in the New York Times Science Times. The stories told here on The Daily Smell are true as reported by my alter-ego super sniffer the Scentinelle, gifted with a super secret power does all the heavy sniffing.
Follow our lively Facebook page about all things olfaction. If you have a keen sense of smell, or know someone who does, and want to share your olfactory adventures, you are invited to join our Facebook group Super Sniffers.
Special thanks to Luana Coonen for her creative inspiration naming this site.

In the past six months, group listening services have become hot destinations on the web. A common thread runs through all of them: listening with your friends is more fun than listening alone.
Avatars and text chat are the standard form of interaction within these apps. What you might be missing is the live experience of enjoying music with friends: bobbing heads to the beat, busting out dance moves and belting out lyrics.
Meet Rolling.FM. Rolling.FM realized that when you're listening to music with friends, you should be able to recreate the live experience. Now, in all of their rooftop listening rooms, you can do just that with Rolling.FM's integration of OpenTok. What Rolling.FM has done really well is incorporate live video in a way that augments the experience, but doesn't distract from the reason the service exists – to listen to music.
