The projected population age 65 and older in Iowa in the year 2030. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, this age group will constitute 22.4 percent of the state's total population at that time. In 2000 Iowa ranked fourth in the percentage of population age 65 and older. In 2030, it is projected that Iowa will rank 12th.
The estimated number of people age 65 and over in Iowa on July 1, 2009. This age group accounted for 14.8 percent of the total population.
The number of people age 65 and over in Polk County, making it the largest population of this age group in any Iowa county in 2009.
Percentage of Iowans age 65 and over in 2009 who were born in Iowa. The percentage of all Iowans born in the state was 72.6 percent.
The number of people age 65 and over who moved into Iowa between 2008 and 2009. This represented 6.2 percent of all of the people who moved into the state during that time.
Median 2009 income of households with members 65 and over. The median income for all households in Iowa in 2008 was $48,044.

We're getting older, maybe older before our time. That is a good thing for developers as they try to accommodate the needs of an aging population and keep a fairly dormant construction industry alive as the country digs out of the Great Recession. A Pella company is getting credit for setting a standard in senior living communities that others are observing as they try to tap into what experts predict will be the hottest market in real estate for the next 20 years.
Josh Cowman goes through his paces every day knowing that someone is looking over his shoulder. He's just fine with that.
Cowman is president of development for Pella-based Ewing Land Development & Services LLC, which has established itself as a trendsetter in Greater Des Moines for its senior living projects.
The company is introducing senior co-ops at Vintage Hills retirement communities it is building in Ankeny's Prairie Trail and Indianola's Summercrest Hills developments. Ewing recently acquired the Rice Elementary School property in Beaverdale, where it plans another co-op.
Ewing was the first contractor to enter the Indianola development, and it has a "vision" that could lead to the first workable project for what has been a troublesome piece of development property at the former Rice school site.
That vision stems from the fact that we are getting older in a big way. Over the next 20 years, the number of people age 65 and older in Iowa is expected to increase 49 percent. And that age is 10 years beyond the minimum to enter most senior living communities.
Maybe we're getting older before our time, but whatever the case, Ewing has identified a market segment made up of active 55 and "better" retirees who want to live in a place of their own, minus all the troublesome maintenance responsibilities.
The target is middle- to upper-income individuals who can purchase a share in a cooperative – typically at an entry point that is well below market rates for single-family homes, townhouses and condominiums – then pay a monthly fee.
The master mortgage is held by the cooperative, so the people who buy individual units – which can have up to three bedrooms and a roomy 1,700 square feet – do not have to put up personal guarantees for development costs. A share, however, can run $50,000 to $110,000.
Ewing also has turned the table on its more standard senior living centers – standard is a bit of an understatement, given the amenities such as theaters, grocery stores and lively town centers that are part of the developments – by waiving entry fees and endowments.
Other developers are curious about Ewing's game plan as they consider entering the senior housing market.
Cowman acknowledges that the company is being watched.
There's a need
"There's a definite need in the Des Moines area," Cowman said.
Market studies that were conducted for the Iowa Finance Authority before it approved tax credits for recent low-income senior housing developments found that there are waiting lists for some senior housing centers in the area and estimate that those under construction could fill up in a relatively short time.
Tax credits amount to the government's way of bringing private equity into a project, primarily to provide gap financing between the developer's equity, leverage and final construction costs.
But banks are showing indications that they are more inclined to make loans for the development of senior housing as opposed to other commercial and residential projects, according to national studies and Steve Niebuhr, senior vice president for Hubbell Realty Co.
Hubbell is the construction manager for a low-income senior housing apartment building on Army Post Road and is building its own senior townhouse development in Johnston.
The company, which in recent years has turned other developers' failures into success stories, is considering adding a senior living component to its mixed-use developments. Niebuhr is studying Ewing as he also studies the market.
"We're studying them to understand the market, to learn what's going on," Niebuhr said.
Some of what is happening is self-evident: The population is aging. Less evident is that banks seem more inclined to lend on senior living projects than on other commercial and residential projects.
"I think financing is fairly easy to come by; lenders seem interested," said Niebuhr, whose company is the construction manager for Fort Des Moines Senior Living, which is under construction on Army Post Road, and will complete the Cottages at Johnston Commons later this year.
A focus on seniors
Ewing develops residential and commercial properties as well, but its work in senior housing defines the company and the mission of its founder, Jeff Ewing, a former banker who "took a leap of faith" 12 years ago to focus on senior housing, Cowman said.
That leap resulted from a personal experience. Ewing's grandfather was paralyzed at age 36 and lived in a nursing home for the remainder of his life. The fact that his grandmother and grandfather could not live together under one roof left an impression on the younger Ewing, Cowman said.
"He thought there had to be a better way," Cowman said. "That's what we are founded on, and that continues to be our passion."
The idea was to provide a place where elderly couples could live together in a little more luxury than could be provided in a small room with thin walls and tile floors.
In the last 12 years, Ewing has built and managed retirement communities in Pella, Indianola and Waukee. The company sold a senior center in Newton shortly after it was completed.
If Ewing does anything that could be called speculative construction, it is that the projects in Ankeny and Indianola started with assisted living apartments and memory care units. Those fill up as the need arises, Cowman said.
A memory care unit was completed last year at Ewing's The Village at Legacy Pointe in Waukee, a 75-acre complex made up of independent and assisted living apartments, a nursing center, a town center – complete with antique automobiles to remind residents of the good old days – and townhouses for sale. The Village features a movie theater, a general store, a post office and restaurant-style dining.
These features have become something of a template for Ewing projects. Vintage Hills retirement centers also will contain independent and assisted living units, memory care units and units for seniors who require skilled nursing care.
Cowman said the company's model has been adapted to changing lifestyles, with an emphasis placed on keeping families together and providing an inviting atmosphere for visitors.
Learning along the way
Jeff Ewing "knew that his grandmother could live under the same roof with his grandpa. Now we have multiple levels of care all under the same roof," Cowman said. "We have learned as we have gone along.
"The town center is one of those (changes). It's modeled to look like Main Street USA. There is a theater with a big marquee. Independent living is another change. It's a choice for seniors who have no needs for special care. It's just ... that they don't want to deal with maintenance anymore."
After those changes, Ewing brought cooperative senior housing into play.
Cowman said the company studied a model first established in Minnesota, where a member-controlled senior cooperative was established in 1976.
The cooperatives offer tax advantages such as mortgage interest and property tax deductions.
And they are democratic, controlled by boards and committees, said Shona Schmall, the company's regional cooperative director.
The Vintage Hills Cooperative in Indianola is not under construction, but it is 86 percent reserved after less than a year of marketing, Schmall said.
The share price for the Indianola units will run $68,000 to $73,000, 40 to 50 percent of the total value, with monthly payments starting at about $700.
"If we were at market value in Indianola, our prices would be $140,000 to $230,000," Schmall said.
The company has not launched its marketing campaign for the Ankeny cooperative, but has three units reserved and has received inquiries from another 15 to 20 people, Schmall said.
Cowman noted that inquiries also are coming in from people who are about to turn 55 – the minimum age for living in the cooperative – as they consider returning to Greater Des Moines to be near grandchildren.

It is definitely in my top list of foundation and it was only £34 which I think is such a good price considering it is Chanel AND also the quality of the product is beyond! I actually can't express how perfect this is on my skin. I recommend this product to everyone and anyone.
If you have dry skin and want that lovely dewy finish which looks HD, then this is the makeup you need. Any type of skin can wear this foundation (oily,normal etc.)Even though it gives a really good medium coverage, it looks quite natural and it really gives a flawless even skin tone.
I use shade 20, as I have a yellow undertone and I prefer yellowy foundations, just because they look healthy and warm on the skin, but the only thing with Chanel foundations that I have noticed is that they don't have a lot of shades compared to say MAC or Bobbi Brown, but what I can tell you is that Chanel have put a lot of thought in there foundation formula!
It's a fluid texture which contains moisturiser, so you uncomfy dry people this will ensure that your skin is comfortable.
Us dry people need looking after
It is a pump bottle and one|two pumps max is enough for an application, this foundation will last you such a long time, i have had this foundation for 6 months and I use it regular and I am no where near half a bottle yet. All this just proves it's an amazing makeup item!
Please by this now and au'revoir babys!

How many of you have had this experience? There's been no time to get to the gym in the last month or so. So finally when there is time, you (consciously or subcounsciously) "make up" for lost time. The next day…OUCH, you feel like you've been hit by a truck!
This is a common scenario for most of us. New exercisers often "overdo" at first because they are unaware of the impact of sudden and intense activity on the body and its need for adjustment.
Regular and experienced exercisers often forget that fitness slowly declines when stopped for more than a couple of weeks. The body needs to readjust to the demands placed on it. For me, it's just plain old ego…I don't want to admit to myself that I have lost any of my fitness!
"Overdoing" is just one of the many ways that we can hurt ourselves when we are using our bodies vigorously. Aside from the obvious twisted ankle (acute injury), there are many injuries that happen insidiously (tendonitis, arthritis etc.). Now before I scare you away from exercise, its worth mentioning that most of these injuries happen just as often in sedentary people because of lack of exercise.
So, the real point of this article is to give you some guidelines to help you avoid exercise/sports injuries whether you are a newbie or an experienced exerciser/sports participant:
• Wear proper shoes for the particular sport or activity.
• Always were protective gear for the sports you are involved in. Helmets are not just for kids!
• Comfortable clothes that you can move in are always good, but special outfits for the sport are not usually required unless you like them or for a team.
• Start out slowly if you are new to the sport or exercise OR you haven't done it in more than 2 weeks.
• Warm up BEFORE stretching. This is important. Muscles are tight when cold and stretching them can injure them. What is a good warm up? A slower version of the activity you are going to do is good. For example, walk for 5 minutes before you begin running. If you are going to throw a ball, gentle arm circles and other movements for several minutes will warm up the shoulder and elbow joints.
• Stretch often. Stretching can be performed after warm-up, but I find it to be the most efficient when I am finished with the activity or when there's a break in the activity. The muscles are warm and most receptive. Always be careful not to overstretch.
• Take lessons or training if you are new to the activity. This ensures that you are moving in such a way to not only perform well (win!) but also not injure yourself. I have personal experience with this: I decided to run a marathon. I trained myself but just couldn't accomplish the distances I needed to get there. Then, I had coaching for my running style which I was told was a speed style, not distance style. I thought running was something we all do naturally and all that's needed to run was to run! Since that coaching, I have completed many marathons.
• Add new activities or exercises carefully. The body needs time to adapt.
• Drink LOTS of fluid (water is usually best) before during and after your activity, especially in hot weather. A good guide for this is 500ml of liquid every 15 minutes during the activity. It's not nearly as good for the body to drink only before and after, drink during as well. You will find your performance to be much better!
• Apply the 10% rule. This is a great rule of thumb. Increase your time OR intensity level by a maximum of 10% per week. If you are running, increase either distance by 10% per week or speed by 10% per week – but not both in the same week. If you are weight lifting, increase the number of times you lift the weight (repetitions) by 10% maximum or the amount of weight by 10% maximum per week.
• If you are already working with injuries, talk to your physical therapist or personal trainer about what to do that works and doesn't work with your body and situation.
Listen to your body! If you are tired, rest! If you have pain beyond muscle soreness or swelling, see a doctor.

Prime-time plans for Fox News' Kelly
Wed., July 3, 2013
Megyn Kelly is moving to prime time. The longtime anchor of the popular Fox News daytime show "America Live" will get an evening show when she returns from maternity leave, the network said.
What Fox News didn't say is what Kelly's show will be and where it will air. Fox News has long-term deals in place with its other prime-time stars, including Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity.
There has been speculation that Kelly may take the slot on Fox News that is currently held by Greta Van Susteren. However, on Tuesday Van Susteren said on her blog she has a long-term contract "and it is for a show in 'prime time.' "
Kelly's presence on Fox News has moved beyond daytime over the past few years. She frequently appears on O'Reilly's show and co-anchored the network's 2012 election coverage, where she famously took Karl Rove to task for criticizing the network's decision to call Ohio for President Barack Obama.
Collector selling images of Kate Moss
Few people have been photographed more often than Kate Moss, and some of the most famous images of the supermodel are going under the hammer at a Christie's auction this fall.
The sale, announced today, includes a shot of Moss encased in bronze glitter by Allen Jones and images by well-known photographers including Annie Leibovitz, Bruce Weber, Mario Testino, Sam Taylor-Wood and Irving Penn.
The works, collectively valued at about $1.5 million, have been assembled by German collector Gert Elfering. He called Moss a "living icon."
Hallmark won't renew Osmond's show
Hallmark Channel and Marie Osmond are parting ways. In a statement Tuesday, the TV channel said it won't renew Osmond's talk show, "Marie," for a second season.
The show's producer and distributor, Associated Television International, said that "Marie" was going into syndication as originally intended. A fall 2014 launch is planned, the company said.
Hallmark said it wants to go in a different direction in daytime: It's decided that so-called lifestyle shows offering how-to tips are a better option on TV and online.
Osmond will find a competitive field, which currently includes veteran Ellen DeGeneres and newcomers Katie Couric and Steve Harvey. New and repeat episodes of "Marie" will air on Hallmark through September.
Jazz musician Pete Fountain is 83. Actor Michael Cole ("The Mod Squad") is 68. Talk show host Montel Williams is 57. Actor Tom Cruise is 51. Actress-singer Audra McDonald is 43. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is 42.

SARASOTA, Fla. - Two of the Orioles' top young pitchers were pitching at the same time today on adjacent fields in minor league games against Tampa Bay at Twin Lakes Park.
Chris Tillman gave up one run and one hit over three innings, throwing 46 pitches, 30 for strikes in the Triple-A game. He walked one and fanned four.
Dylan Bundy gave up a homer on the first pitch he threw against the Rays' Double-A team and gave up another run in his second inning, allowing two during his three-inning, 46-pitch outing.
Tillman missed some time at camp with an abdominal strain, but he said he felt fine today and that is no longer an issue.
"Felt good. It was a good step in the right direction. Physically felt good and my pitches are coming along. From the first to the third inning, it came along real well," Tillman said.
This being a minor league game, some innings end early and some may get extended beyond three outs pending the pitch count. For instance, Tillman faced just three batters, getting only one out and gave up an RBI double in a 15-pitch first. But he faced four batters in the third. He retired all seven hitters he faced over the last two innings, three on strikeouts and he looked pretty sharp doing so.
"It started out shaky, but got better as I went. I finished real well, where I wanted to be," he said.
He did admit his curveball was shaky at times today and he is still looking for more consistency with that pitch.
"That breaking ball has been behind the whole spring," Tillman said. "I've just been kind of babying it. Needed to throw some for first-pitch strikes in that last inning and I did. Felt good about it at the end."
He is not feeling pain or discomfort anymore from the abdominal strain.
"Nothing right now. I felt good," he said. "For the past week, I haven't felt it. I feel like I am good to go and will get back on a normal schedule now.
"I don't think I am too far behind. I think that's why I threw on two days' rest today to get back on schedule," he said. "I think that was the main part of it. I think I will be back on a normal five-day schedule now from what I've been told."
Bundy's outing was a struggle for him early on as he threw balls on six of 14 pitches, with one walk, in the first inning and on seven of 19 pitches in his second frame. He gave up that leadoff homer and a long sac fly along with a pair of singles in his second inning.
"First two innings I was leaving the ball up on all the pitches," Bundy said. "Change-up was down most of the day. First pitch, home run. It was right down the middle. Just trying to get ahead on the count. You don't see that very often."
This was Bundy's first outing since he was optioned to Double-A Bowie by the Orioles. Was it a bit of letdown, pitching in front of just a few fans here after pitching in major league spring games?
"No, not too bad," he said. "I got to throw 20 more pitches in the 'pen. Getting my pitch count up was kind of a big deal today. Wanted to do that so I can throw (more) next week.
"Third inning was better, I was really pounding the bottom half of the zone, especially with my curveball. Threw it a lot more for strikes in that inning. It is nice going more than two innings now, I can get the feel of pitches and work through some stuff."
Bundy was asked if he could be limited to shorter outings of five innings or so early this season so he has more available innings late in the year, kind of like how the organization handled his 2012 season.
"They haven't really said too much to me about it, I'm sure they will," he said. "I don't know what the goal is totally. Hopefully 160 (innings), but I doubt it."

What is the point of view in Summer of My German Soldier?
- print Print
- list Cite
Bette Greene's Summer of My German Soldier is told from the immature point of view of Patty Bergen, the narrator and protagonist of the story. Patty is only twelve years old, but her desire to grow up and be considered an adult is strong: She explains early in the story that she actually became a teenager when she turned 10 ("tenteen") and has been a teen for two years. A lonely girl with no real close friends, she immediately falls for the handsome young German prisoner, Anton Reiker, when he comes to her father's store. When she sees him running in a ditch following his escape, she makes the irrational decision to hide him in her father's garage--a Jewish girl hiding a Nazi soldier. She feels love for Anton, despite their obvious age differences, and she dreams of joining him in Germany after the war.
But Patty's world comes crashing down after Anton leaves and she is found by authorities to have helped him escape. When she learns of Anton's death, she reveals all. She is eventually sent to a juvenile facility, where she will spend the next six months. For Patty, the time inside gives her a chance to reflect upon her actions and prepare for her new life when she is released. She realizes it will be a hard road for her, having "to tread water" on her own. And she knows, as she states in the final line of the novel, that

western blot gamma interferon - weak signal & denaturation (Mar/28/2009 )
i want to make a western blot of gamma-interferon in order to estimatate glycosylation pattern of it. That is non glycosylated form has a MW of 17 kDa, monoglycosylated 20 kDa and biglycosylated 25 kDa. I have found old laboratory notebook with the western blot I would like to make. But my signal is very weak. After optimisation of transfer condition, I obtained something like this.
The bands have a molecular wheight slightly more than 25 kDa. I hesitate if this is the biglycosylated form of if it is a dimer. In the former western, I was able to distinct the three form with the dimer form. However, the insensity was to low to interpret this.
So the problems are:
-the unrepetability
-the weak signal
-the denaturation (if the sample is denaturated, why are dimers observed?)
-the continuous band between the sample. (on the photo, you can see that the intensity is higher between the lane than in the lane).
thank you very much for all advices.
I forgot my experimental conditions.
warm denaturation 10 minutes
transfer with 25 V , 20 minutes. I try also 10, 30, 40, 80 minutes. 20 and 40 minutes is done with 1 and 2 membrane. Transfert buffer is methanol 20% and SDS 0,5%
Blocage buffer : TBS-tween + 5% milk
Fisrt antibody is diluted 1000x with tween + 0,5% milk (producers propose 50 000x)
Second antibody is diluted 3000x.
Dillution and washing with TBS (I'll try PBS).
#1. Do a negative control. If you are using antibodies for the first time and even the 100th time, use a cell line that should give you a negative result. This shows antibody specificity.
#2. Aside from some old lab book, why do you think you get multiple bands for IFN-gamma?
Are there examples of this in the literature?
For example, this paper shows a IFN-gamma Western and it appears as a single band.
British Journal of Cancer (2007) 97, 420–425. Li, Zhang et. al
Expression of interferon- gamma in human adrenal gland and kidney tumours
I have partly resolved my problem. There was an insufficient transfer of the protein.
I'm working with cells cultivated in suspension that have been transfected with the IFN gene. Cells in culture have not the same glycosylation pattern than living tissue. You can look at this paper
Fortification of a protein-free cell culture medium with plant peptones improves cultivation and productivity of an interferon-gamma-producing CHO cell line - Burteau et al, 2003, In vitro.
There is several bands.
Well, good luck.
I looked at that paper and they indeed get multiple bands.
I am not sure if these are due to the antibody being of poor quality.
Alos, the antibody they use from Pierce has not been published to recognize IFN-gamma
by Western. I am dubious about the glycosylation of this protein leading to multiple bands and it not merely being an artifact of a crappy antibody.
It's interesting that Pierce has about 10 references for ELISA assays and not even 1 for a Western for this antibody.
Hopefully I'm wrong....

15. Chris Pennell (Worcester Warriors)
It's not a fashionable opinion, but in terms of performances in the Premiership, Pennell pips Mike Brown to this spot in our team. He has stood head and shoulders above every other Worcester player this season – without him they would have been relegated months ago. Topping too many stats to mention here, he was always a threat and always willing, and the Premiership will be a poorer place without him. As well as Brown, Nick Abendanon deserves a mention.
14. David Strettle (Saracens)
Second top try scorer this year, Strettle has been the main beneficiary of Sarries' continually expanding game. They have been the most dangerous attacking side, and the Saracens wing has been on hand to provide some superb finishes.
13. Vereniki Goneva (Leicester Tigers)
Has flitted between 13 and wing, but when there was a Tuilagi-sized hole here at the beginning of the season, Goneva turned into Tigers' go-to man. He is probably the most exciting player in the Premiership for his ability to do the unexpected, and is just a nightmare to defend against – his 13 tries, more than anyone else, attest to that. George Pisi and Marcelo Bosch deserve mentions, too.
12. Luther Burrell (Northampton Saints)
What a season it's been for Burrell. Simply insatiable in the early rounds of the Premiership, the clamour for his inclusion for England during the autumn eventually saw him rewarded in the Six Nations. When in a Northampton shirt, he has been a consistent source of go forward ball in the midfield, and has scored some excellent tries to boot. Plenty more to come.
11. Semesa Rokoduguni (Bath Rugby)
A bit of a wildcard this one, as 'Roko' hasn't always found himself starting, but from an outsider's perspective it's hard to see why. On his day he plays in a similar way to Goneva – plenty of raw pace but a dangerous sidestep and a healthy dose of bulk, which he has added this season. Scored some scintillating tries early on, and it would be great to see him tour New Zealand. Mention to Chris Ashton, who has been revitalised at Saracens this year.
10. George Ford (Bath Rugby)
Some questioned it, but the move from Leicester has been an unqualified success. As undisputed first choice Ford has thrived, and not just at the stuff we all knew he could do well – run and distribute. His place kicking has improved markedly (he is the season's top points scorerer), while tactically he has learned the astuteness that comes only from increased game time. Danny Cipriani has also been superb and came very close to getting in the team.
9. Danny Care (Harlequins)
When not away on England duty, Care has lit up the Premiership. He has been a key reason for Quins' late charge into the play-offs, injecting more tempo into games than any other player across the competition. Has added more control to his game too. Mention to Exeter's Dave Lewis, who looks to be fulfilling a lot of his early talent down in Devon.
1. Joe Marler (Harlequins)
This has been the season that Marler has left his critics behind – undoubtedly helped by the new scrummaging rules, his excellent technique has come to the fore, as he has proved for both Quins and England. He has also carried with typical menace, not to mention given some hilarious interviews. Mention to England teammate Mako Vunipola who has come on leaps and bounds for Sarries, too.
2. Schalk Brits (Saracens)
So difficult to leave out Dave Ward, but if Brits was English then he would have received just as many column inches as the Quins man this season, you sense. Saracens' South African does things that no other hooker can – he has the pace, handling and vision of a back, while not letting any of that compromise his set-piece effectiveness.
3. Logovi'i Mulipola (Leicester Tigers)
Is there a more entertaining player to watch than Mulipola? Probably not. With Castro gone and Cole injured for large swathes of the season, Mulipola has had to adapt to life as a tighthead – and he has done so with aplomb. He's comfortably the most destructive ball carrying prop in the league, so much so that the Tigers have started employing him as a regular runner from deep.
4. Michael Paterson (Sale Sharks)
Probably the signing of the season, Sale's Anglo-qualified Kiwi has been a revelation at the heart of a gritty pack. That quality is essentially what has seen them into Europe next season – they may not have the star names of some of those below them, but Paterson has typified their hard working attitude. Scored a couple of decent tries, too. Mention to Exeter duo Dean Mumm and Damina Welch, who have former an impressive partnership.
5. Ed Slater (Leicester Tigers)
Slater's performances have been influential, but it is his leadership that has been most important to the Tigers this year. When he took over the captaincy from Toby Flood the team were in crisis, but come the end of the season and he has steered them safely to third place, even pushing for a home semi-final, something which looked impossible back at the turn of the year. Mention to Steve Borthwick who has also been a leader of men this year.
6. Dan Braid (Sale Sharks)
The rolling maul has been a huge weapon, and Braid has been the beneficiary to finish the top try-scoring forward. Like Paterson, he has been a key cog in influencing Sale's attitude on the pitch, which has been so markedly improved from their torrid campaign last season. Has one of the highest workrates in the league.
7. Jacques Burger (Saracens)
Burger puts his head in places nobody should have to. His tour de force in the Heineken Cup semi-final was one of the performances of the season in any competition, but he has been doing likewise for most of the Premiership season too. Leader of the self-styled Saracens wolf pack. Mention to Chris Robshaw and Julian Salvi, who have also been influential.
8. Samu Manoa (Northampton Saints)
The man mountain has had another unbeatable season at the heart of the Saints pack. It is not just his size that makes him difficult to bring down – for such a big guy he has excellent footwork, which means tacklers are often off balance when trying to bring him down. Whether in the engine room or at the base of the scrum, he has been causing headaches for defences all season long.
Breakdown: 3 – Saracens, Leicester 2 – Bath, Sale, Harlequins, Northampton 1 – Worcester

President Obama is about to steal the spotlight from GOP frontrunner Donald Trump, right after he racked up some big wins last night in yesterday's primaries.
As predicted, President Obama will move ahead this week with nominated his pick to replace the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. This morning, President Obama tweeted confirmation of this, using his new @SCOTUSnom Twitter handle, which the administration created to make announcement related to his the president's SCOTUS pick.
"Today, I will announce the person whom I believe is eminently qualified to sit on the Supreme Court." —@POTUS: https://t.co/utX9DUPsyf
— SCOTUS Nomination (@SCOTUSnom) March 16, 2016
Via The New York Times:
President Obama will announce on Wednesday his choice to fill the Supreme Court vacancy created by the death of Justice Antonin Scalia, even in the face of Republican vows not to consider his nominee, Mr. Obama said in an email to supporters sent from the White House.
The president, in a move that could shape the nation's highest court for a generation, will present his nominee during a Rose Garden ceremony at the White House, officials said. It is expected to kick off a monthslong political stalemate and to become a searing issue on the campaign trail.
"As president, it is both my constitutional duty to nominate a justice and one of the most important decisions that I — or any president — will make," Mr. Obama said in the email. "In putting forward a nominee today, I am fulfilling my constitutional duty. I'm doing my job. I hope that our senators will do their jobs, and move quickly to consider my nominee."
Mr. Obama will announce his choice at 11 a.m.
As Republicans have vowed to not consider the president's nominee in this election year, Obama's choice to go ahead with his nomination is bound to add another layer of powerful fuel to an already heated election cycle.
Are you ready?

Hi Rajan, > I can write an XMLSchema for Liquids, but how do I enforce that > elements with water & milk as attribute values are present every > time an instanc document is created of the schema. I'm afraid that you can't in XML Schema. If your instance document used 'water' and 'milk' as the *names* of the elements: <FoodItems> <water><qty>100</qty></water> <milk><qty>50</qty></milk> <coke><qty>10</qty></coke> </FoodItems> Then you could represent the constraint in XML Schema. However, to get the kind of constraint you want, you need to state that a content model holds elements that share the same name but are of different types, and that's explicitly disallowed in XML Schema. You are better off using RELAX NG or Schematron to articulate this kind of constraint. Cheers, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/Received on Thursday, 24 January 2002 05:58:10 UTC

Lorazepam is used most often to deal with anxiety, muscle spasms, or even insomnia.

Often an intervention is the catalyst that convinces them into agreeing to enter a recovery program. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse, an intervention can significantly increase the chances that an addict will enter and complete treatment and stay clean. Read more

Text of the Poem
(Poetry for Students)
As in an illuminated page, whose busy edges
have taken over. As in jasmine starred
onto the vine-dense walls, stands of phlox,
and oranges, the flesh of each chilled turgid.
By herself the sleepwalking girl arranged
them: the paper airplanes now wrecked
on the vines, sodden, crumpled into blooms
which are mistaken all morning for blooms.
The paint curls out of the tubes like ointments.
In his first looking there is too much hurry. 10
Dandelions, irises smelling of candles.
Two clouds like legs on the bathwater sky.
Drawn out of the background green, getting
the light before everything else, the almond
tree comes forward in a white cumulus, 15
as though the spring had not allowed leaves.
Last night she asked what temperature arctic
water could be that beings remained in it.
Then the question brought to the blood
inside her cat, the pillow of heat on a chair. 20
His glimpse smudged. As in: it's about time
I made you dizzy. Here are pink grasses,
shrubs incandesced to lace, tapestry
slopes absorbing figures and birds and deer.
Nothing is lean. The lilacs have prospered
into bundles, the tulips fattened hearts.
Pelts of nasturtiums, the thicket the color of
pigeon: gray netted over the blueberry lodes.
Then the girl's scream, her finger stirring
the emerald tadpole-water, the sound 30
breaking into his glimpse for an instant
then subsiding to become a part of the picture.
Not the icy killing water. But the lives there,
persisting aloft. Like the wasps held in
by a shut flower at dusk, by morning released, 35
dusty as miners, into the restored volumes.

(WBIR - Rhea County) The parts are in place and ready to assemble the new reactor at the TVA Watts Bar nuclear power plant.
TVA expects assembly of the Watts Bar 2 reactor to begin in the next few days. The assembly is a combination of extremely heavy equipment that requires delicate surgical precision.
WBIR toured the construction site and vessel that will house the reactor on Thursday morning. TVA says 90 percent of total construction of the project is now complete.
When it is finished, Watts Bar 2 will be the first nuclear reactor to go online in the United States in the 21st century. Right now TVA estimates the reactor will be operational by December 2015.
The last reactor to go online in the U.S. is the reactor that is already operational at Watts Bar. The Watts Bar 1 reactor went online in 1996.
The utility has spent decades getting to this point with several delays and a budget that ballooned to twice the original estimate. As of now TVA says the project will cost around $4.2 billion, although the utility issues that estimate with the caveat that the price could range anywhere between $4 billion and $4.5 billion.
Once the reactor is assembled, it will go through test after test to ensure there are no problems with what amounts to a $4 billion nuclear pressure cooker.
"Nuclear power construction and testing is very complex. It's not something that we cut corners on," said Michael Skaggs, the Senior Vice President for TVA who oversees Watts Bar operations and construction.
Skaggs said the tests will be done with water to pressurize the primary systems to 110 percent of the normal operation pressure. Water is used because no actual nuclear fuel can be loaded into the reactor until the NRC issues an operating license for the reactor. Earlier this month, TVA filled the new reactor vessel with 185,000 gallons of water in just over 23 minutes.
TVA said the new reactor will benefit from lessons learned during operation of Watts Bar Unit 1. The project has also implemented lessons learned from the Fukushima nuclear crisis in Japan.
TVA built a huge 47-ton concrete building that is waterproof, tornado-proof, and earthquake-proof to house and protect all of the backup generators that provide emergency electricity at the Watts Bar Nuclear Power Plant.

Viggo Mortensen Offered 'Last Voyage of the Demeter'; Kingsley & Rapace Still Attached?
- By
- 7 Comments
Filmmaker Neil Marshall (Dog Soldiers, Centurion) is attached to direct The Last Voyage of the Demeter. The project details Dracula's journey from Transylvania to England, as told from the perspective of the (doomed) passengers aboard the eponymous sea vessel. Bragi F. Schut (Season of the Witch) wrote the script more than eight years ago, well before Hollywood became infected with its current Dracula movie epidemic.
Last Voyage of the Demeter changed hands several times prior to Marshall being hired on. David Slade (Eclipse) was the last director onboard prior to Marshall; during Slade's term, the cast was to include Oscar-winner Ben Kingsley, and Prometheus star, Noomi Rapace.
Bloody Disgusting has it on good authority that Oscar-nominee Viggo Mortensen has been offered a lead role in Last Voyage of the Demeter (not that of Dracula); the site has also been informed that Kingsley remains attached to portray the Demeter's captain in the film. Rapace is reported as "maybe" still onboard as the project's female lead (a character named Anna Billington), though her involvement may ultimately come down to scheduling. If Ridley Scott's Prometheus sequel comes together sooner, rather than later, that could force Rapace to skip on Demeter (more on that as the story develops).
Mortensen being broached with an offer to appear in Last Voyage of the Demeter doesn't guarantee his involvement. Last year, the actor was heavily rumored to sign on for either Snow White and the Huntsman or the Superman: Man of Steel reboot (where he would've played General Zod), but neither scenario panned out. There's also been discussion of late about how Mortensen's next move could be to reunite with director David Cronenberg, on either Maps to the Stars or a sequel to Eastern Promises (maybe both). It's possible that the chance to work with Marshall – along with a cast which includes Kingsley and Rapace – could be enough to entice Mortensen to sign on for Last Voyage of the Demeter instead.
The Dracula film is also a very different beast than the aforementioned big-budget flicks. Schut's script was most recently reworked by Lowell Cauffiel, author of the best-selling, true crime novels Eye of the Beholder and House of Secrets. However, Last Voyage of the Demeter is still described as a lean, mean horror-thriller, where the members of the Demeter crew are hunted down by the famous vampire, one by one – trapped within the confines of a rickety old ship, separated from civilization by the vast ocean. It's a setup which recalls such titles as Alien and Marshall's acclaimed cult-horror film, The Descent (hence, the director's involvement reads as a blessing).
Look for more updates on The Last Voyage of the Demeter in the foreseeable future.

Arsenal, Manchester United and City target Angel Di Maria coy over Real Madrid future
ANGEL DI MARIA has refused to rule out a move away from Real Madrid this summer, with Arsenal, Manchester United and City harbouring a strong interest in him.
The aforementioned Premier League clubs have apparently all made concrete bids as they seek to strengthen their respective squads in the summer.
The 26-year-old winger, who was named Man of the Match in the Champions League final win over Atletico, has been urged to stay at the Bernebeu by Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlo Ancelotti.
But Di Maria concedes he may not have a choice in where he ends up in the summer.
"I am not going to lie, I know that there are clubs that want to sign me and can match Real Madrid's demands. But that's up to my representatives and the club," Di Maria told Marca.
I am not thinking about my future now. We will see what Madrid have in mind
"I will stay if the club wants me to stay.
"I am not thinking about my future now. We will see what Madrid have in mind, whether they want me to stay or leave.
"I am happy at Madrid. I had a great season and always had everybody's support. But sometimes you don't have a choice, even when you want to stay yourself."

(NAPSI)-By designing a holiday greeting card about children's dreams of peace, two children are sharing their hopes of peace with children around the world.
The two grand prize winners of the 11th annual Pier 1/UNICEF Greeting Card Contest won for their interpretive illustrations of "Children's Dreams of Peace." These designs were produced as UNICEF greeting cards and are on sale now through the holiday season exclusively at Pier 1 imports stores and at www.pier1.com. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the sale of these cards is donated to the U.S. Fund for UNICEF.
Seven-year-old Nicholas Rakestraw of Fort Worth, Texas, won for the seven and under category, and eight-year-old Renuka Chandani Lovett of Lagunitas, California, won for the eight to 13-year-old category.
"It was a difficult decision with so many impressive drawings to choose from this year," said Charles J. Lyons, president of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF. "With all the talk about the impact of recent worldwide events on children, these illustrations represent a level of awareness and feeling that words can't often express."
"Renuka and Nicholas should be very proud that the money raised from the sale of these cards will go to help children in need throughout the world," said Marvin J. Girouard, chairman and CEO of Pier 1.
Renuka's creation depicts a little girl holding a candle and making a wish on a magical flower; the design created by Nicholas is a happy patchwork quilt of peace in which to blanket the world.
Submissions for this year's contest were collected during the month of March, to coincide with National Art Month.
The submissions were part of an enthusiastic response to the new and timely theme of "Children's Dreams of Peace," which encouraged young people in the U.S. to share their hopes of peace for children around the world.
The largest retailer of UNICEF greeting cards, Pier 1 has raised more than $15 million from the sale of the cards since 1985.
Children and adults alike can help UNICEF do even more for the world's children by buying UNICEF cards all year round by visiting http://www.unicefusa.org/cards.
Funds from the sale of cards support UNICEF programs that provide lifesaving medicines, vaccines, nutritious foods, primary education, clean water and sanitation and emergency relief for millions of children and women in more than 160 countries and territories.

Retailers structure their shelving and racks to make shopping as easy as possible for customers. That idea translates to garage sales as well. The harder your customers must work to find the right size of clothes, the less likely they are to spend the time and part with their money. A well-designed clothes rack, even if makeshift, displays the clothes conveniently on hangers, allowing customers to browse quickly and easily with their fingertips.
Place two 6-foot stepladders about 3 feet apart with the bucket-holder extensions facing outward. Remove the head of a mop or broom by unscrewing it or sawing through the broomstick at the end. Lay the broomstick between the stepladders, moving the ladders closer together or farther apart as necessary to fit the broomstick. The broomstick should rest on the step with the bucket holder. Use duct tape to hold it in place, then hang your clothes on the broomstick. One of the advantages of this makeshift clothes rack is that you can use the ladder steps to display other items, such as hats or shoes. If you don't have or can't borrow ladders, use the backs of two tall chairs, such as dining chairs. Stack bricks or phone books on the seats to keep the chairs from falling under the weight of the clothes.
Screw an eye hook into the wood on each side of your garage door opening about five or six feet from the ground. Slide a length of 2-inch-diameter PVC pipe over a clothesline, then tie the clothesline to the eye hooks. The pipe helps keep the clothesline from sagging in the middle and bunching the clothes together. Shorten the pipe if necessary by sawing off one end; if you know the width of your garage opening when you buy the pipe, you can ask the home improvement store staff to make the cut for you at the store for a small fee. Hang your clothes on the hanging rack. If you're not selling long dresses, you might have room for a second clothes line below the first one.
Secure a tension shower rod between two solid surfaces if you have two that are close enough. You can find inexpensive shower rods in lengths up to 6 or 7 feet. You can attach them between two tree trunks or between a porch column and the side of the house, if you have a solid exterior such as brick; don't try this on vinyl siding, as the tension rod can dent the siding. If you have an exterior walk-through door leading out from your garage, open the door and use that space to hang your tension rod. Keep the rod five to six feet off the ground. This type of clothes rack leaves no holes in your garage door frame like the eye hooks do. If you place the top rack at about six feet high, you will have room for a second rack below it, about three feet off the ground.
- If you have a chain-link fence near your sale area, you can hook the tops of the clothes hangers through the links to display the clothes.

Rohit Bal PRIVE

Rohit Bal Store, Emporio New Delhi Rohit Bal's PRIVE collection reflects intricately crafted and heavily embellished garments. There is an subtle thread of Indian motifs and textile craft techniques which form the integral part of his garments. To showcase these garments instead of providing a neutral minimalistic backdrop we chose to create an elaborately detailed space with embellishments. The layout of the store is generated from temples and traditional courtyard structures. Centrally placed Salon space makes the retail space structured around two segregated sections for the women's wear and men's wear in the store. The brief for the store required for the men's section to be secluded. The store uses layering and a play of raw and elaborately detailed elements to build a rich, mysterious and warm space. Temple tops are used as sculptural elements to frame the display hanging details. The walls and the ceilings are finished in a pewter colour with flamed metal hanging details brought down from the existing ceiling. To take an advantage of the height ceiling already available the services were moved along left length of the store. This low-height space embellished in woven fabric with a lotus motif from Rohit Bal's studio provides for the main circulation passage in the store. The "lotus' motif developed and used extensively in their garments by Rohit Bal's studio have been interpreted in various forms in the store. The flooring is rendered in a blue pigmented cement with the lotus inserted as a bras inlay. Display podiums and furniture in the store is detailed with lapis lazuli stone inlay in dark wood. The central structure and the façade is detailed with suspended cnc cut lotus motif jaalis in rusted metal. The jaali provides an enclosure for the Salon. The Salon space is lit with is a blown glass chandelier which was designed for the store and was executed by local craftsmen. The chandelier forms are an extension of the cast brass sculptures laid out in the main browsing space grounding the multiple elements in the store. Suspended trays, which hold narrow beam QR 111 lamps, provide drama to the store's principal color story of dull gold and dark metal grays. Tall leaning mirrors and vertical wall cladding with mirrors in the circulation space break up the structure and provide glimpses of the store from varied view points.

Villa Croix-Valmer in France by Jo Coenen Architects & Urbanists
October 3rd, 2012 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Jo Coenen Architects & Urbanists
Everything about this villa, which has been virtually dug into a steep slope on the south coast of France, is aimed at joie de vivre: the enjoyment of the climate, the calm, and the view of the sea. An essential feature of this design is the large floating roof, resting on walls on both sides and at the rear. This roof demarcates the locus, sets it off from the surroundings, and orientates the view. It overhangs the whole building, a sculptural two-storey volume. Both the actual living quarters (first floor) and the children's rooms (ground floor) are largely fitted with glass sliding partitions, and each has its own terrace.
A meandering footpath to the beach below forms part of the design, just as the wall that follows this footpath is an extension of one of the walls that support the roof. Water plays a part in this design too. The ground floor swimming pool is supplied by an artificial waterfall that emerges beside the upper storey.

Working with Dreams in Psychotherapy
Guilford Press, May 3, 1996 - Psychology - 262 pages
This accessible guide to dream interpretation is designed to help clinicians incorporate work with dreams more effectively into therapy. The author integrates psychodynamic, experiential, and humanistic theories into a comprehensive model based on the premises that dreams are personal and reflect waking life; that the meaning of dreams is best understood in a collaborative effort between client and therapist; and that both cognitions and emotions are important in this process. Based on the latest theory and research on sleep, dreaming, and cognition, and backed up by clinical work with both individuals and groups, the book contains numerous case examples. An appendix features a reproducible self-guided manual on dream interpretation, suitable for distribution to clients, which features step-by-step instructions and worksheets. This book will be of value to clinicians working in many different modalities, as well as researchers interested in dream interpretation.

I onced watched a couple of moles crawling into their borough.
From my angle, all I could see was mole-asses.
http://www.cbc.ca/news/offbeat/story/20 … -1010.html
On a news forum today, reporting on steamy ads for molasses, there was this unusual use of borough for burrow. It turns out that they are from the same root words, along with bury.
Keep an eye out for tiny Middle Eastern eateries all over New York City's burrows
http://www.googobits.com/articles/p2-42 … n-nyc.html
I suspect that these are malaprops, though it's conceivable that some see a parallel.
Here's the example I just stumbled upon (from an online chat-list for fans of the European band Faust):
I tried my New York friends but the few I have left there are all in the outer burrows struggling with kids and jobs in small apartments.
I agree that it may possibly be an eggcorn to some who may think of boroughs/burrows as cozy and/or dirty holes that people crawl home to, but I have no idea whether anyone has ever assumed that meaning, as opposed to just making a simple malaprop.

You have a computer that boots linux. When you put the spare drive in it, it boots windows. Can you select which drive to boot from a bios menu? What interface (IDE, SATA, SCSI, etc)? if IDE, is the Debian disk the master on first controller (hda)? Do you have any debian install media? Can you boot it and get to a command line? Check dmesg to determine the device name for the new drive. Then: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/[new_drive] bs=512 count=1024 Should clear enough of the beginning of the drive that the BIOS should find nothing to boot. You should then be able to boot the computer normally. Then use cfdisk and partition the drive as you like. See the debian-reference for some details. Also, the Installation Manual. Doug.

Just put your DVM across the output using the ac volts scale. The reading should be quite low low milliamp range. It is not a catch all test but will detect if you have a severe hum issue, it won't catch oscillation though unless you use an osciliscope. It also wouldn't hurt to check them vs. ground on the DC scale in case the secondary is shorted.
I used the big edcor's on my tubelab SE and am very pleased with them as well.

Alright, I finally got the chassis done, the stupid metal top plate drilled, and everything installed. I am going through the awesome step-by-step checkout that Ty put together and already hit a snag; on pin 2 of the 12AT7 I'm getting a resistance of 0 instead of the 220K I'm supposed to. On pin 7 of the 12AT7 I do get the 220K reading.
Being an idiot, I went ahead with the rest of the checkout and everything looked good until it came time to plug it in and check the filament voltage on the 12AT7. I went ahead and plugged it in (with the power strip as George suggests as well as having my meter clipped on so I don't have to touch it) and flipped the switch. It made a strange noise, I got a little spark where the power switch meets the mounting plate its attached to and then nothing. I unplugged everything and checked the fuse and it was still intact but I am hesitant to proceed further.
I've checked all my wiring and everything looks good. Also, I can't find anything that burned or popped underneath "the hood" so I think everything is okay. I'm a little worried about the spark at the power switch which makes me think I've got a grounding issue there. The power switch, input jacks, and binding posts are attached to a metal plate that is screwed to the wooden chassis. The input jacks and binding posts are all grounded to my star ground; do I need to ground the switch as well?
I had everything working on the breadboard before I put it in the chassis so I'm pretty sure the board is put together correctly... Any advice is appreciated.

It does sound like something is wrong with the switch or the wiring. Do you have any pictures of the area?
Also, it sounds like you might have a short at the tube socket but that alone should not do any harm other than making that channel silent. However I'd inspect for other shorts.

Sorry for the delay. Here's the link for the pictures I took, please advise if you need to see anything else.

I can't find anything that looks like a short on the 12AT7 but maybe I'm blind. Seeing where the switches are mounted, do I need to ground that plate and the switches as well? As mentioned above, the RCA's and binding posts are both attached to the star ground.

Also, is it possible to toast a power switch? I'm using a pretty beefy NKK switch rated for 2A and 250V; also, I've got the fuse placed in between the switch and the PT. After the little spark I got last night my switch feels a little weird; almost like its easier to switch into the on position than the off position (kind of like the breakers in your circuit box at home). Now, I may just be paranoid and imagining things...

Alright, I've been thinking about this some more. I think the spark I saw where the power switch touches the metal plate it is mounted to ruined the switch as now I get no power anywhere in the amp. So, I think I need to add one more ground wire that grounds all the switches on the rear plate to the star ground. I'm guessing I also need to replace the power switch. Does anyone know a simple way to test if the switch is fried? Does it sound like I'm on the right track?
I'm guessing none of that has anything to do with my my reading of 0 or 1 at pin two of the 12AT7 so I'm still open to suggestions there.

It looks like you have the switch mis-wired. When you threw it, it shorted the mains. With a typical switch, the center terminals are the common and the ends are the two poles. Toggle switches throw opposite of the handle. You have a DPST switch. In the pictiure, when you throw the switch, the white wire with the brown stripe is connected to the white wire with the red stripe. The white wire with the blue stripe is connected to the spade crimp terminal. BTW, if those are wires from an network cable, you need to replace them with something of a larger gauge wire.
The fuse should be the first thing from the power cord socket, then to the switch. You want the fuse on the hot side of the power socket. This is usually marked with an "H" or an "L". Also, you really should mount that fuse holder to something. The adhesive on electrical tape has a habit of "melting" off when heated. Tube amps run warm, so I would avoid using it and use heat shrink instead.
I am surprise those wires survived and I suspect that one of them is actually open or that you blew the filter inside the power socket.

Also, you definitely want to ground that plate.

I'll also pull the board and see if I can find the short; the frustrating thing is that it worked on the breadboard, just not in the chassis!

OK, I redid all the wiring (correctly this time) between the IEC and the switch with some 12 gauge wire, grounded the rear panel to the star ground, switched the fuse so that it sits between the IEC and the switch and still no juice running (I've been checking the 6.3V pins on the tubes).
After all that I switched to a new switch and still nothing. Is there anyway to test the toggle or the IEC socket itself to see if I wrecked them? I really don't want to place another order to Digikey if I can help it. I'm assuming everything on the board is okay because I can't see or smell anything wrong there and I'm also hoping that all the transformers are OK (a quick spark on first plug in shouldn't kill anything expensive, right?).
Any advice?

Actually, Betta fish are tropical fish that do require a steady temperature of 76 to 86 degrees, with the ideal temperature range at 78 to 82 degrees. Betta fish that are exposed to cold water can suffer from loss of immune response, loss of color, and illness. In addition to the lack of heating capable in these tanks, there is no easy way to change the water and maintain water quality. Clear water is not a sign of clean water. Ammonia is the # 1 killer of fish. It is an invisible chemical released through fish exhale, poop, and uneaten food. If the tank is not going to be wired for filtration, then it should have more frequent water changes in order to ensure water quality. Overall, these tanks do not benefit the animal and are more akin to keeping a dog locked in a tiny cage for it whole live. The animal can survive but it will not thrive.
The vodka bottle design is particularly terrible for the fish. This is animal cruelty.
Betta Fish Awareness Day Betta Fish Awareness Day (BFAD) is a betta fish care awareness group dedicated to educating people on proper betta fish care, aiming to end intentional and accidental cruelty and abuse.

Lead sulphate may be dissolved by boiling with ammonium acetate.
Thus the chrome tannage is reversible in solutions of ammonium or potassium oxalate and of ammonium acetate.
Actually sodium phosphate does not strip, and indeed reduces the stripping power of ammonium acetate.
To determine the presence of lead some of the powder was extracted with ammonium acetate solution.
Qualitative tests showed the presence of lead and sulphate in the ammonium acetate solution.
Ammonium sulphide blackens it, and it is coluble in solution of ammonium acetate, which distinguishes it from barium sulphate.
It is standardized by dissolving a weighed amount of lead sulphate in ammonium acetate and proceeding as described above.
