Risk Identification of In-Vehicle Information System Operation Based on Traffic Environment Complexity
In order to reduce driver distraction and its traffic safety problems caused by the operation of in-vehicle information systems, carried out IVIS (In-vehicle information system) operation risk identification based on different traffic environment conditions. In this chapter, on the basis of traffic environment complexity definition, designed the driving distraction experiments under different traffic conditions, the vehicle, road video scene, and driving conditions data were collected in the experiment in which forty participants interacted with an IVIS while driving. Combined with IVIS operation time and the traffic environment information, build operation risk identification model, determined the safety risks of different IVIS operations. The IVIS operation suggestions under different environment are presented. Results show that the model can accurately identify the safety risks of the IVIS operating under different environmental conditions. When traffic environment complexity is higher, some vehicle information system operations need to be warned or banned. Potential applications of this chapter include the strategy of driving behavior intervention and the evaluation of driver distraction.

Effect of Dentures on Digestion
With millions of denture wearers in Britain and around the world, understanding the problems that arise from denture wear is important, particularly in relation to an individual's digestion.
Issues with Denture WearA number of studies and reports suggest a range of problems that can occur with denture wear. Sometimes, this is directly stemming from the fit of the dentures and can be improved with regular checkups to assess the fit. Other times, a person simply won't get used to denture wear, finds their digestion and other parts of their life suffer, and chooses a permanent solution such as dental implants.
Dentures and GaggingFor some denture wearers, they may experience a gagging sensation due to the presence of a foreign object in their mouth. With more time wearing dentures, this can go away but may be very unpleasant in the initial days. Unfortunately, it tends to be very much a psychological issue, which makes it difficult to treat if it continues.
Dentures and Sense of TasteParticularly where someone receives upper dentures, their sense of taste may be affected. Some denture wearers find that they experience a reduced sense of taste, which can then affect healthy food choices.
From Chewing to DigestionContrary to what some people believe, digestion actually begins in the mouth. With reduced chewing action for denture wearers, they may not effectively get saliva flowing at that first important step in digestion. This can reduce the absorption and metabolism of key nutrients.
This contrasts to the initial gagging and excess saliva that can be a challenge for new denture wearers. Later on, if poor food choices occur, saliva flow can be reduced.
Food Choices and DigestionDenture wearers do not have the chewing capacity and strength that come with natural teeth or dental implants. This often leads to softer food choices that can be high in fats, sugar and calories.
Low fiber intake from a diet that is low in fruits and vegetables can be a problem, leading to constipation. In that same light, insufficient vitamins and minerals due to avoidance of meats and 'chewier' foods can be an additional issue.
Other Digestive IssuesAnother problem associated with denture wear is aerophagia, which is excessive swallowing of air. Many of us feel bloated once in a while from this happening. But with denture wearers, this can become extreme, leading to a severely distended stomach, pain and poor digestion.
Enjoying Food and a Healthy Digestive SystemWith so many people wearing dentures, it is important that we continue to investigate how this affects digestion and other systems in the body. Often, the problems relate to a poor denture fit and can be somewhat improved with better fitting dentures.
Permanent Solutions or Dentures?Others will find that issues are persistent and may want to consider a permanent solution such as dental implants, which avoid the problems above as they look and function as real teeth would in the mouth. Whatever choice you make, be sure to consider all options, with the aim of choosing the one that helps you enjoy food and a healthy, functioning digestive system.

Got my full set of dentures from THE US Veterans affairs.2 sets, horrible fit, confidence, and bite strength severely compromised.Would NEVER recommend dentures for any one.Keep your teeth if you can.Implants, while expensive, are worth it; buy a good used car, save.This is a nightmare!Some welcome for a 'hero.

@Bunty - you never think about the problems that dentures can cause. You've completely put me off having any even after suffering decades of mercury fillings when dentists would fill your teeth whether you needed a filling or not! My dad had dentures, they took all his teeth out aged 23 (even through they were perfect film star teeth). Apparently, they did that back then for no reason. He suffered all of his life. Could never say the word 'curtains' without his teeth shooting out! I can't remember whether they complained about the stuff they couldn't eat back then - I don't remeber if they did. When you think about it though, they are not the easiest things to negotiate, especially if you have both an upper and a lower set. They may just be too loose and you should keep going back to your dentist. Maybe they have lost the ability to make a good set, now they don't need to make them so frequently any more. I hope you manage to sort your problem out.

Hi, I have had partial dentures for 18 months and can't cope, at all, with them!Theyfall out, bouncing about and I can't eat with them!I use a denture fixative, it doesn't work for long.If I could afford it i would go for implants. Getting very down about dentures.When i was a child many people had dentures and seldom had trouble.As a young girl in St John's Ambulance I did voluntary work at an old peoples hospital.Cleaned patients dentures and served up meals so I know how well dentures use to work in the 1950's! Was surprised when the dentist told me I would need to use a fixative with my dentures! Have upset stomach, feeling sick due to being unable to digest my food - this is exacerbated by vertigo! I seldom leave home, do my shopping on line and feel better not meeting people.I went to a pensioner Christmas dinner last year and nibbled at the meal before giving up and making excuses for not being hungry.At that time I was still persevering with the dentures, now I have given up! NHS dentists are rare, I feel that I have a good dentist who has a very good reputation among local people. In the 1980's I had treatment at the Dental Hospital in Mile End Road, London.Was happy to be treated by students and had root canal treatment on several teeth.I'm on pension credits and can't afford implants or private treatment. I've had 70 + years of good teeth which is great!Some of us were not meant to have dentures and can't cope with them. Still surprised at how people got on so well with dentures when I was young and now I find so many people with denture problems!My diet is simple yogurt, bananas, tea, some chocolate biscuits and anything that can be sucked.Shan't get fat and no longer crave anything different to eat. Thanks for reading!

I had dental transplants done 2 yrs ago.....lower only....I have had to have them refitted twice with new sockets.....at the moment they are working very well.. A question I have is that the information I get is that the digestive juices will be increased from the gums,but the gums are totally enclosed under the implant so how do the juices assist digestion... I can eat everything but I feel that I am bloated ....maybe experiencing " aerophagia"....what can I do .....thanks...ches.....

Round 34: A Sad Little Lion Recruit
So… I had a super lazy weekend. I had a great Saturday roaming around and watching movies too late… which led me to be super tired on Sunday. But, I had a good day today (after I remembered that I didn't have to work). I listened a lot of Mumford and Sons today and consequently I drew a picture of the first song of theirs I had ever heard on the radio, Little Lion Man (beware, there is an f-bomb in there). I'm going to try coloring him on the computer. If anything good comes out of that, you can be sure I'll post it on here. ^^V

Experience is Everything
The Harman flagship in New York City. Image © Chris Payne
Today experience, as opposed to ownership, status, or image, is everything, and retailers are experimenting with new ways to attract consumers.
Brands are increasingly setting products apart by offering a premium level of service formerly reserved for the upscale market. The resulting "luxury for the masses" trend makes quality and brand names more accessible and affordable.
As part of the trend towards more luxurious offerings, traditional packaging, often an afterthought for merchandisers and tossed aside by consumers after a purchase, is giving way to more modern approaches. Sustainable and multifunctional packaging is the rise.
Retail centers are evolving as well, as the combination of micro-markets, cashless payments and augmented reality gives developers the power to bring the mall experience to any location in a fraction of the space.
And while new technology is causing consumers to increasingly favor virtual transactions, physical stores remain essential. Not only are brick and mortar retailers attracting customers by enhancing the brand experience across both online and offline channels, but online retailers are seeking to create physical presence for their brands. Watching brands innovate so that they can better integrate the online and offline worlds into a single, holistic experience is truly exciting.

Waters Corporation today introduced its Waters Biopharmaceutical System Solution at WCBP, the 15th Symposium on the Interface of Regulatory and Analytical Sciences for Biotechnology Health Products in Washington, DC, USA.
The new system brings together UPLC/MS characterization technology with UNIFI™Scientific Information System, an industry first comprehensive software solution that uniquely unites all aspects of biotherapeutic analyses and workflows for high-resolution analytics across the development process continuum.
The combination of UltraPerformance Liquid Chromatography, mass spectrometry, and bioinformatics technologies results in efficient flow of data and information and conforms to biopharmaceutical quality guidelines and regulations.
The Biopharmaceutical System Solution includes:
* ACQUITY UPLC H-Class Bio System featuring a bio-inert flow path and quaternary solvent management with Auto•Blend Plus Technology, for flexibility in executing high-resolution bioseparations.
* Waters Peptide and Protein Separation Technology Columns engineered with the selectivity to leverage the characteristics of biomolecules and QC-tested to ensure consistent results.
* Xevo G2 Tof Mass Spectrometer, the most sensitive exact-mass quantitative and qualitative benchtop MS system designed with Engineered Simplicity.
* UNIFI Scientific Information System, an interactive workflow-driven data platform for flexible instrument control, advanced data processing and mining and comprehensive reporting, with GxP laboratory compatibility that enables routine deployment throughout your organization.
"Waters is now the first company to offer biopharmaceutical scientists a total system for protein characterization using high-end mass spectrometry that supports good manufacturing practices regulations (GMP) that biopharmaceutical companies are required to comply with," said Jeff Mazzeo, Director of Biopharmaceutical Business Operations for Waters Division. "In addition to being able to operate in a GxP compliant environment, the new Biopharmaceutical System allows customers to extract and share the maximum amount of information. For example, when a scientist develops a peptide map in the discovery laboratory, all of the methods and reports generated can be shared with colleagues down the line in the quality control (QC) laboratory leading to significant productivity gains. UNIFI is the common platform that allows customers to share information in a much more efficient manner than previously possible."
Focused on task-specific workflow design, the Biopharmaceutical System features automated data processing and simplified results validation. Leveraging UNIFI's architecture, the intuitive user interface can be configured for the roles and capabilities of the scientists throughout an organization. Critical to biopharmaceutical organizations is reliance on an analytical system that supports GMP and compliance tools, such as electronic signatures and user authentication, all with underlying secure database technology. Lastly, this Biopharmaceutical System is scalable to use as a workstation with the ability to expand to workgroup and enterprise deployments.
With the scalability and flexibility built into the system, customers can anticipate the following benefits from the biopharmaceutical system:
* Implementing proven UPLC, exact-mass Tof MS, and bioinformatics technologies purposely built for biotherapeutic analysis, the system
addresses protein characterization needs today and laboratories' growth plans for the future.
* Streamlining analytics by standardizing workflows across laboratories, and expedite development decisions and regulatory filings with efficient information synthesis is designed to increase productivity.
* With the versatility to meet the needs of multiple users in a diverse analytical organization, the UNIFI-based platform enables easier transfer of information between departments, so therapeutics can efficiently move from non-regulated investigations to compliant analyses.
* Because customers ultimately know best how to meet their regulatory compliance requirements; the system provides a configurable tool to enable customers to deploy analytical technologies with the greatest efficiency.

No call. Eventually named them and told them I was dropping their Pest company and could be dropping their weed services way too if the contract was up, simply because they refused to receive back to me and check out and solve some concerns. THey did not appear to head and mentioned "ok, sounds good". This sucks, simply because I really liked the man that normally sprayed (house owners son, not the creepy guy that asks personalized concerns and demonstrates up unannounced), and now should seek the services of A different firm I know nothing at all about to begin the procedure about and correct the issues that Preventative has neglected. I hope you all have a better ending than I do.

Quite Permit down. Preventative has become my pest control company for over 6 yrs. They've got performed my weed control on and off for 3 a long time. In the final six months their high-quality continues to be terrible. The main five one/two several years I'd no problems, Under no circumstances wanted a respray or experienced any issues. Now It can be not merely frequent issues, but their customer care is struggling. I called and asked to get Tyler get in touch with me back (suppose to get a manager). Hardly ever bought a contact. Identified as yet again and had them personally go away him a Be aware, and possess him contact me back.
These release unstable chemical substances that attract males. Pheromone traps can detect the arrival of pests or alert foresters to outbreaks. For instance, the spruce budworm, a damaging pest of spruce and balsam fir, is monitored applying pheromone traps in Canadian forests for several a long time.[22] In some regions, such as New Brunswick, regions of forest are sprayed with pesticide to control the budworm populace and prevent the problems triggered for the duration of outbreaks.[23]
Cancelled deal, they arrived out sprayed our home once more and billed the charge card on file. They reported "we apologize for that miscommunication but We'll must get paid for the last time we sprayed". Unbelievable... oh Nevertheless they ended up gracious adequate not to demand us $one hundred twenty to terminate our contract that they couldn't preserve they finish up on.

I became a state Licensed pest control technician, realized all about bugs, productive methods to treat difficulties, and about lots of chemicals and how to securely utilize them. Very long several hours but very good shell out.
Forest pests present a major dilemma because what is preventive pest control it is not easy to accessibility the Cover and watch pest populations. Additionally, forestry pests including bark beetles, retained less than control by organic enemies within their native variety, can be transported significant distances in Slice timber to locations in which they may have no normal predators, enabling them to trigger in depth economic harm.[21] Pheromone traps are already applied to monitor pest populations from the Cover.
I've been employing Preventive for at least six years. I like their well timed response After i see a difficulty that desires taking care of (the West facet can do it same working day which is one area I skipped when I moved for the East side). Most extraordinary to me is the fact my new home arrived with one of those metallic outdoor sheds.

text: Josh Dolezal's beginnings in fencing were pretty humble. In fact, as a youth, it didn't look like Josh would go into athletics at all. "Dad, I am not a sports kid," Josh told his father, Brian. "Don't push me." But in seventh grade, Josh saw a movie that had a fencing scene, and his curiosity was piqued. "I think I would like to try fencing," he told his parents. When his mother, Bernadette, found out about Indiana Fencing Academy in Mishawaka, not only was an interest born, but years later, it's turned out ---- a star. Now, Dolezal, a sophomore at St. Joseph's High School, not only has five national titles to his credit, but has qualified for the U.S. 17-under Cadet World Fencing Championships in Turkey on April 12. "It's just amazing," said the low-key Josh, of South Bend. "I always wanted to make (the national team). It was my goal for this year. "It just seemed I was down so far going into the first Denver tourney, I was like 'I am done.'æ" But you put this 6-foot-3, 170-pounder in a fencing uniform and the laid-back Josh seems to disappear. It was at the competition in Denver, where he emerged from the pack to place himself in the top three in the rankings for the year, then survive a second tourney there to maintain his position. "I am tall but I am fast and people don't really expect it," he said. "They expect taller people to be slower. So I am good at catching a lot of people off guard." He credits his coach, former Notre Dame assistant coach Zoltan Dudas, who coached him at the Indiana Fencing Academy and is now the head coach at Princeton University, with developing him. "When I was first starting, he would go and try to get me to do something, I would get frustrated and try to give up," Josh said. "But he never let me, and we just kept going." It wasn't easy back then, as the losses piled up. Instead of making points back then with his epee, he was getting them. "It was hard losing in the beginning," he recalled. "It was hard losing all the time." His father thought Josh's interest may last only a few weeks, but gradually he developed a love for the sport. "He kept going back and going back and he and Zoli hit it off," Brian said. "And he kept getting better and better and better." Josh said he loved the challenge. "It was so hard and physically and mentally tough and so much fun," he said. It helped to have a coach who knew how to get the best out of him. "He has this ability to kind of understand what you need to hear at a moment," Josh said of Dudas, who still coaches him, even if at times it's from afar. "So he's just great at leaving me alone when I am kind of upset and just need to be by myself. "We just communicate really well. I think that's just a quality that a lot of students don't have with their coaches." One of those things communicated was the mental game, which Dudas stresses. "I am always thinking about what you can do better and how you can improve," Josh said. "Because even if you are ahead you still need to realize what's going on and everything." Close matches sometimes come down to the final point. And the mental edge amid the pressure, is sometimes what wins out. "I think it's just that I am a lot mentally tougher than a lot of people," Josh said. "Even if I am behind it doesn't mean I am out. I can still come back." Indeed the sport, which requires you to hit with the tip of your sword to score, requires pinpoint precision and quick thinking. "You have a minute left and you have to think of everything you know about this one person and you have to think how are they going to react to something," Josh related. "You want to think of everything you know and to the best of your knowledge what you think is going to work. It's always a really big gamble." So far, the financial gamble on a difficult sport that requires travel has paid off for the Dolezals. Brian, a teacher at St. Joseph's, says participating and succeeding in such a sport can be challenging with the dollars, but he's happy to do it for his son. "It's worth it to me," Brian said. "If anybody does something and has a taste of success, you just want that in everything you do in your life, and you don't like settling for anything. "So I can't really deprive Josh of that. He's got goals and he's meeting them. I will do everything I can to help him meet that." The investment of time and money could result in a college scholarship in a few years. Dudas seems sold on Josh's ability, and that was before he made the team for the Cadet World Championships. Dudas said a year ago that Dolezal might have reached last year's NCAA fencing tournament finals had he been in college. "He's dedicated and very talented," Dudas said at the time. "He's got pretty quick reflexes and very good ability to analyze the action. He's a very, very talented kid." And soon, in Turkey, the world will be his stage.Staff writer Jim Meenan: email@example.com (574) 235-6342

iPerceptions Inc. (TSX-V: IPE), a leading provider of web-focused Voice of Customer analytics, released its Hospitality & Tourism Industry Report for Q1 2010. The report analyzes real-time feedback from more than 180,000 people visiting nearly 300 hospitality and tourism sites to identify the most important issues and trends facing this unique industry.
As the first quarter of 2010 shows early signs of economic recovery, the hospitality and tourism industry is in a position to benefit from a renewed determination to travel. However, as a new economic landscape unfolds, brands need to evaluate potential changes in the consumer mindset when it comes to travel priorities, and adjust their online (and offline) strategies accordingly.
Historically, Q1 is a low travel period. Fewer visitors come to make a reservation and more come to research and compare rates. Moreover, those who do come to make a reservation are less likely to actually do so. A mere 63% of bookers (those who come to make a reservation) completed a booking in Q1 2010, which is down from 71% in Q4 2009.
High price perception is the leading cause of reservation abandonment, with about a third of bookers citing "price" as a barrier to task completion. Unfortunately, as marketers, price is often a broader issue to tackle. A more manageable issue is that of site usability and functionality, which causes 19% of bookers to abandon their reservation.
"A convenient, hassle-free way to book a reservation can have a tremendous impact on booking conversion" said Claude Guay, president and CEO of iPerceptions. "Not only do we see a large share of visitors abandon their reservation because of functionality and technical problems, but our studies indicate that site responsiveness [which refers to features such as speed, page errors, page flow, etc.] plays the strongest role in visitors overall level of site satisfaction."
Other important opportunities for marketers include:
• Bolstering brand perceptions, so that they remain front and center as visitors evaluate their options
• Increasing exposure and highlighting the benefits of their rewards program
• Leveraging social media, as an alternative platform to listen to and engage customers and create brand buzz
• Incorporating mobile broadband technologies and applications, to offer convenient access to their customers and broaden their brand presence
Data contained in the Hospitality & Tourism Industry Report for Q1 2010 represents aggregated information obtained from iPerceptions' enterprise solution webValidator™ and free 4Q surveys deployed on the websites of many leading hospitality brands. The full report can be found on the iPerceptions website at:http://www.iperceptions.com/resource-center/

The single was unveiled earlier today and will appear on The Dream's fifth studio album 'IV Play,' due out later this year.
Kelly and The Dream will also perform the single live on tonight's episode of 'The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.'
And in another bit of Kelly news, the brown skin beauty will indeed be joining the U.S. version of 'X Factor.' How do we know this? Well, the official Twitter page for The Midland Theatre sent out a tweet earlier today saying the entire joint tour between Kelly and The Dream had been cancelled due to an X Factor scheduling conflict involving Kelly.
So, there you have it. Kelly will once again put her musical career on hold to participate in yet another failing TV music competition.
Sound familiar…?

A Black Lampshade Finds New Home
Posted 04/06/2011on:
How can a black lampshade be so brilliant? When it's adorned with lacquer red and bright white Odoriko dancers, swimming with cherry blossom and glittering gold petals. It works very well indeed here, in a customer's very lovely dining room.
A black lampshade?
Posted 27/02/2011on:
Surely not? But this is super nice. Black background, littered with gold petals. Serene salmon pink and dark red Japanese Odoriko dancers float among petite cherry blossom. Divine.

Read the Review Transcript: Hi. I'm Emily. I just got off of the Salomon Q 102 Stellas. And these were stellar. They're great skis. Really, really fun if you're the type of person that likes to ski in some fresh snow. Definitely something that you can shovel around in the crud as well but when you're ready to lay over in edge they definitely have it. It definitely will hold for you. Give you a really nice good carve on the frontside. The tips got a little bit chattery when you're on that harder pack snow but that can be expected with something that's got as much lift as this does but that's what's going to make this ski so great for you in the powder and in that fresh snow if that's what you like to hunt out. Also, it looks pretty solid so it's definitely a ski you can be confident having it on your feet. So, if you're an advanced to an expert women's skier who likes to search out that fresh snow and rip it hard on the frontside, this is going to be a great ski for ya.

Wind blows fiercely as rain clouds fill the sky waiting to feed the earth. The young trees bend with the wind as the sturdy old ones stand steady as their branches wave and leaves dance to the music of the wind. Its howling and changing things up as I sit within the protective walls of my home. It reminds me of those "trees" in my life that have provided an example of what it means to be steady, trusting, knowing without a shadow of a doubt everything is in perfect order, regardless of the seeming "destructive" forces.
Life is changing, and with that change comes movement. I am grateful for the sturdy "Trees" in my life that helped me learn to how to be flexible, trusting, and remember that if I keep my roots firmly planted in knowing there is a "master gardener" in control, absolutely everything in life is in order! How grateful I am for the tree's in my life .... now its my turn to be a Tree for someone else!
After preparing the update to, This Moon, Weaves the Web has my heart dreaming! I am reminded how very blessed we are to have the ability to dream - and to actually see it come true. Over the years I have heard others tell me what a dreamer I am, and, you know, while his/her's words were said with a "pie in the sky" voice, I am grateful to have been seen!

19 Action News has the story of Marc Garofoli, a bailiff for Cuyahoga County Probate Judge Anthony Russo, and his arrest for DUI last night.
It's your run-of-the-mill DUI case for the most part: a cop spotted Garofoli weaving and speeding on I-480, pulled him over, and went through the field sobriety test.
The hilarious part? Garofoli pulling the "Do you know who I am?" routine because he works for a judge.
His lame attempt to get out of the arrest after the jump.
According to the police report, Garofoli asked the officer, "I don't get any professional courtesy? I work for a judge. This is political."
In another statement, Garofoli allegedly says, "I sponsor the Cleveland Police and Fire. I own a bar in Cleveland" and asked "You drive in Cuyahoga County or Cleveland?"
When the officer asked if that was a threat, he said, "You go to the county."
Absolutely shocked that didn't work.

Bridlington Tourist Information 01482 391634
Bringing Bridlington Information to You
Withernsea 30 Miles from Bridlington
With miles of sandy beaches and plenty of family entertainment, Withernsea is perfect for a relaxing day at the seaside, and enjoys the atmosphere of a smaller, more traditional resort. Withernsea provides plenty of entertainment for everyone on and off the beach, including a market area which is open several days a week, and the Valley Gardens, a beautifully landscaped open space with seating, children's playgrounds and a stage which, in the main season, along with the seafront, is the platform for a host of free open air concerts, events and activities. An entertainments programme for the season is available from any Tourist Information Centre.
In the town centre, the Lighthouse Museum features RNLI, HM Coastguard exhibits, a lovely garden and tea room, a local history room and a memorial to the 1950s film star Kay Kendall. This local girl brought a touch of glamour to Withernsea. She married Rex Harrison shortly before her tragic death in 1959 at the age of just 32, and after a string of high profile affairs with minor royalty and co-stars. Climb the 144 steps up the 127 ft lighthouse tower for breathtaking views over the town, out to sea, along the coast and across the flat landscape of Holderness.
The Pier Towers on the promenade are the last surviving part of the once proud 19th century pier. The splendid beach provides plenty of enjoyment for all.
The Pavilion Leisure Centre boasts excellent facilities, both wet and dry, with its superb swimming pool, gym, sauna, sports hall and squash courts.
The habitual shoppers can benefit from the excellent selection of shops in Queen Street and around the town. The Withernsea Market provides the usual varied array of stalls.
Like many seaside resorts, Withernsea has a wide promenade which reaches north and south from Pier Towers. The Pier Towers have been refurbished.
What seaside resort would be complete without the amusement arcades and Withernsea is certainly no let down. A good selection is available ranging from the 'one armed bandits' to the latest video game technology and from bowling alleys to children's adventure playgrounds.
Eating out provides many options as the friendly pubs, restaurant cafes and takeaways spoil you for choice.
Tourist attractions are in abundance both inland and coastal. Surrounding Withernsea are numerous interesting villages in a patchwork of open countryside, including the historic town of Hedon, Hornsea with its excellent Freeport shopping complex and beautiful mere, the famous Spurn Point with its bird sanctuary, and the fascinating Fort Paull.
The £700,000 Millennium Green and Children's Play Park located off Station Road, Withernsea were officially opened in 2010. The project has been funded through the Department for Children, Schools and Families under the Play Pathfinder Scheme.
The park boasts various equipment for children such as swings, slides and climbing apparatus along with other facilities, including a changing room and toilet. Young people will also be able to take part in making crafts, playing energetic games, playing in the sand pit, or helping to grow vegetables.
Children are free to come and go, although under eights need adult supervision.

1) Script Title: Ultimate Fade-in slideshow
2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...nslideshow.htm
3) Describe problem:
Dear all, I have a question about my website. I installed 5 ultimate fade in slideshows on the index page of my website.
When I load my page the content doesn't load all in once but you really see all the slideshows showing up one after each other (sometimes even four show up and one of them after a long time of waiting)
Does anyone now what the problem can be and how I can solve it? I really want all the slideshows to load in once. I do have a fast internet connection so that can't be the problem.
Thanks in advance

Not only did the collision damage the overpass, debris was left on the roadway leading to the closure of both lanes of Highway 6.
By 4 a.m., both northbound lanes and one southbound lane of Highway 6 had reopened. However, the overpass remained closed.
No one was hurt.

Over 1,200 respond to university strategic plan online survey in first month
Posted October 4, 2016
In order to receive input from the LSU campus community on the university's new strategic plan, an on-line survey was developed and posted on June 15, 2016. In the first month, over 1,200 faculty, staff and students responded to the survey adding their ideas to the process.
"Over 1,200 respondents during the first month of the on-line survey is a fantastic number especially given the fact that many of our faculty and students are off campus enjoying their summer vacation," stated Provost Richard J. Koubek. "We believe this is a testament to the passion and dedication our campus community feels toward the university and we look for additional input when we welcome everyone back to campus in August."
The results from LSU's on-line survey will be combined with information from the focus groups comprised of faculty, staff and students, as well as alumni and business leaders. All of the information will come together to help formulate the goals and objectives utilized to develop the overall plan.
The survey will remain available until September 1, 2016 and you can gain access via this website or your My LSU portal. We ask that you take ten minutes to participate and join your fellow Tigers in helping shape our vision for the next ten years. Your opinions are important to our future.

China Central Television, in its national evening newscast, also said the Beijing leadership expressed to Kim Jong Il that the concerns of both sides in the nuclear standoff — the United States and North Korea — should be resolved simultaneously.
State television showed Wu Bangguo, the second-highest Chinese Communist Party leader and head of his country's legislature, meeting with a smiling Kim in Pyongyang. Wu is on a three-day "goodwill" visit to the North at a pivotal time when China is trying to make sure the six-nation summit reconvenes.
"Both sides agreed in principle that the six-way talks should continue," CCTV's anchorwoman said as footage of the two ran. "China and North Korea support the idea of a peaceful resolution to the North Korean issue through dialogue."
The United States demands that North Korea dismantle its nuclear program immediately. Pyongyang says it would do so only if Washington agrees — in writing — not to attack the North and resumes the humanitarian aid needed for North Korea's starving population.
A spokesman who answered the phone at the press section of China's Foreign Ministry said he had nothing to add to the CCTV report.
The presence in the Chinese delegation of Vice Foreign Minister Wang Yi, China's point man on North Korean affairs, lent credence to speculation that there might be motion in the nuclear issue during the trip. But if recent weeks are any indication, the North's apparent agreement to join the summit again could change quickly.
After the six nations — the two Koreas, China, the United States, Japan and Russia — met for the first time in Beijing in August, the North said it would join them again. However, it backtracked hours after the parley adjourned and has gone back and forth in the weeks since.
Earlier Thursday, China's official Xinhua News Agency quoted Wu as saying that "adherence to dialogue should be the correct direction" to end the standoff — a dispute China has positioned itself to help solve, if not mediate outright.
"We want to hold this round of six-party talks as soon as possible," Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zhang Qiyue said at a regular briefing in Beijing.
The dispute began a year ago when the United States said North Korea admitted to a secret nuclear program. In the ensuing months, Washington demanded the program be scrapped and Pyongyang refused, saying only the nonaggression treaty and aid could change its mind.
At home, China used its state-controlled propaganda machine Thursday to drive home its long-held point — that dialogue, and not any rash action, will solve the dispute.
"Neighbors work together for peace," the newspaper China Daily said on its front page. Most every Chinese-language newspaper stressed the need for more talks.
China, Pyongyang's most powerful ally, has struggled to balance its duty to its neighbor with what a nuclear-armed North might mean for Chinese security — and the Chinese economy.
Wu, invited by the North, is the highest-level Chinese official to publicly travel to the insular nation since 2001, when then-President Jiang Zemin paid a state visit.
Pyongyang is believed already to have one or two atomic bombs, and recently said it extracted plutonium from 8,000 spent nuclear fuel rods to build more. Two weeks ago, it threatened to test a bomb.

traffic etiquette
16 July 2009 Leave a comment
I hate when people do not know traffic etiquette and rules. The yellow lights (the option just before headlights) is not for driving around with, they are parking lights, are you driving and parked at the same time I do not think so. Turn signal, suppose to be engaged prior to braking not immediately before turning. If you know your your exit is coming up within the next mile or two then go ahead and move over or if the lane you are end becomes a turn only lane in the next mile or so and you are not turning then do not stay in that lane. By simply driving like you know how will increase your happiness and the others around as well. (watch for updates as I remember additional mistakes)

Often used as a preservative, parabens are a hot topic amongst beauty insiders. There is evidence that might link them to breast cancer, but it's important to remember the FDA has declared them safe in cosmetics.
Parabens are a class of widely used preservatives in cosmetic and pharmaceutical products. Chemically, they are a series of parahydroxybenzoates or esters of parahydroxybenzoic acid (also known as 4-hydroxybenzoic acid). Parabens are effective preservatives in many types of formulas. These compounds, and their salts, are used primarily for their bactericidal and fungicidal properties. They can be found in shampoos, commercial moisturizers, shaving gels, personal lubricants, topical/parenteral pharmaceuticals, spray tanning solution, makeup, and toothpaste. They are also used as food additives.
Their efficacy as preservatives, in combination with their low cost, the long history of their use, and the inefficacy of some natural alternatives like grapefruit seed extract (GSE), probably explains why parabens are so commonplace. No effective direct links between parabens and cancer have been established.

There's much discussion among the youth sports pundits about whether travel ball is good for young athletes. But from what I can tell, it's not going away any time soon.
If your child is entrenched in the world of travel sports, then your weekends are not your own and there is a very good chance that your Mother's Day will be spent in a gym sitting on hard bleachers or outside in a chair on the sidelines.

Nothing can replace these value.

I had a beautiful watch that was given to me once. It broke the next day. The lady was so upset with me that she didn't speak to me again. She thought I was one who didn't care for my things. She didn't even know me. But to this day it still pains me because I loved that gift.

I didn't even know her either....she was my friend's older friend.

Anyway since then I've wanted to get a watch. i am not sure if I can or should. I just want.

I am always one to value my things until they are no more. Because I was rarely in host of things belong only to me.

I'm so sorry about all your valuables and memories being stolen.

There, we were not allowed to have locks on our dorm rooms. My major love back then was music -- I still love it today. I used to spend hours in my room listening to cassettes. These were the days before CDs and online digital music. I built up a large collection of music that I really loved. One afternoon I came back to my room and found it had all been stolen. It was not really worth that much money, but it was more about the time and effort I had put into it. I think whoever stole it just did it to hurt me. I never did find out who it was, but I'm sure it was someone I knew. When I think about it 30 years later, it still burns me up. But all material things are replaceable. People have lost things much more important, like their health or loved ones, that can never be replaced. I feel sorry for whoever has to steal from others in order to make their own lives somehow better.Stud email@example.com

New research gives tantalizing clues to the potential of blueberries in reducing risk factors for cardiovascular disease and metabolic syndrome. The effect is thought to be due to the high level of naturally occurring antioxidants called phytochemicals contained in blueberries.
Researchers studied the effect blueberries had when added to the diet of rats. After 90 days, rats that received a blueberry-enriched diet had less abdominal fat, lower triglycerides, lower cholesterol, and improved fasting glucose and insulin sensitivity.
The benefits of eating fruits and vegetables are undisputed, but modern research keeps showing us just how they help you to optimize your health.
Berries are some of the most nutritious foods on the planet. In the case of blueberries, naturally occurring phytochemicals such as anthocyanins can do wonders to normalize and improve your health. And berries, in general, are also high in fiber and relatively low in sugar, so they won't stimulate severe insulin swings if eaten in moderation.
Berries are best eaten in their raw, natural state, as heating and freezing can damage antioxidants. However, some antioxidants will remain even after heating or freezing.
The Blue Wonder Berry
Blueberries contain vitamins A and C, zinc, potassium, iron, calcium and magnesium, and are high in fiber and low in calories. Additionally, researchers at the USDA Human Nutrition Center (HNRCA) have ranked blueberries number one in antioxidant activity when compared to 40 other fresh fruits and vegetables, so there are many reasons for adding blueberries to your diet.
They are associated with numerous health benefits, including natural protection against:
- Brain damage from strokes
And, according to the latest research presented in the article above, blueberries may also offer protection against metabolic syndrome (which can lead to diabetes), the accumulation of abdominal fat, and reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease.
These findings strengthen previous discoveries of the berry's powerful impact on cardiovascular health.
Because in addition to anthocyanin – which gives the berry its deep blue color -- blueberries also contain an antioxidant compound called pterostilbene, which has been found to reduce cholesterol as well as prescription drugs. (It shares similar qualities to another cholesterol-reducing antioxidant, resveratrol, which is found in both grapes and red wine.)
As an interesting side note, another unusual way to benefit from blueberries is to add them to your ground beef before cooking (ideally at low temperatures) as they help prevent cancer-causing heterocyclic amines (HCA) from forming in the meat.
How Blueberries Protect Against Metabolic Syndrome
Metabolic syndrome -- also sometimes referred to as pre-diabetes -- is a conglomerate of health problems that include high amounts of abdominal fat, high blood pressure, elevated blood sugar, and high triglycerides. When combined, these conditions increase your risk of cardiovascular disease, heart attacks, strokes and diabetes.
In this latest study, rats that consumed blueberry-enriched powder as two percent of their diet had less abdominal fat, lower triglycerides, lower cholesterol, and improved fasting glucose and insulin sensitivity after 90 days, compared to the control group.
Additionally, they found that blueberry intake affected genes related to fat-burning and storage. And when they looked at muscle tissue, they saw alterations in genes related to glucose uptake.
This is interesting as another recent study concluded that metabolic syndrome is likely not caused primarily by abdominal fat, as previously thought, but rather by insulin resistance in your skeletal muscle, which leads to changes in energy storage – which in turn leads to metabolic syndrome.
Insulin resistance is clearly a key factor in metabolic syndrome, and as I've stated on countless occasions, the prescription for insulin resistance is diet and exercise.
It's good to know that eating something as delicious as blueberries can actually help improve your insulin sensitivity.
The Two Best Prescriptions Against Belly Fat and Diabetes
Exercise is your number one ally here, both for shedding unwanted body fat and normalizing your insulin levels.
It can also help you sleep better, which turns out to be another important factor if you want to avoid excess pounds around your midsection. In my recent article 4 Ways to Shed Belly Fat, I explain the little-known connection between your sleeping habits and your body's ability to shed abdominal fat.
Keep in mind that when you're exercising to achieve weight loss, you'll want to focus on weight bearing exercises, as muscle burns calories quite efficiently. In my experience, non-weight bearing exercises, like swimming and bicycling, are not as efficient or effective for weight loss. You'll typically need to exercise four times as long in these activities to receive the same benefit of running or using an elliptical machine, or performing other aerobic activities.
And, to really maximize your weight loss efforts, make sure you include high-intensity interval exercises and strength training in your program.
When it comes to diet, you'll clearly want to stay away from any foods that raise your insulin levels, namely grains and sugars, and of course, processed foods.
But in addition to that, perhaps the most effective way of making sure you're eating the optimal diet for you is to determine your specific nutritional type. Because what's healthy for others may not necessarily be healthy for you, and vice-versa.
When battling either belly fat or diabetes – or both -- remember that controlling your insulin levels is as important to optimizing your weight as it is to protecting you against diseases like diabetes.
Because as your insulin levels increase, your body starts to store carbohydrates as fat while at the same time not releasing stored fat. This makes it impossible for you to use your own stored body fat for energy. So excess refined and processed carbohydrates in your diet (such as breads and pasta) not only make you gain weight, they make sure you keep that weight on.
By cutting grains and sugars from your diet, combined with a regular exercise program, you can significantly improve your chances of successful weight loss, and effectively protect yourself against diabetes and a whole host of other diseases.

Yeah, it was pretty wild. You were losing, losing, losing.... and suddenly you won.

Went and picked up a 2yo filly tonight (Edie). She's going to spend a few weeks as part of the team and see what the grown-up horses do with their days. Hope to get her along to some shows and other little outings as well.
Annoyingly the truck broke down on the way home (well, luckily in my driveway!). The mechanics are onto it (it was a repair I had done a few months ago by a different mechanic and obviously it wasn't done right.. so will have to sort that out). Anyway, it should be running again on Tuesday - but means most of the shows this weekend won't be possible for us!

Birth of the Audio Pod Chronicles
Today I created a new podcast, named Audio Pod Chronicles. The first episode, a review of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness and thoughts about the final days of the Ramble, can be found here.
The Mile High Pod Chronicles will continue to be found here and will contain only videos, which has been the trend in recent months.
I was reluctant to separate the audio and video feeds, but it makes sense to me. There are many places you can't watch a video podcast, such as while driving or jogging. So it seems logical that videos should have their own feeds, and an audio podcast shouldn't mix things up with video. Plus, I wanted to experiment with libsyn, the premier podcast hosting service, as part of my ongoing work with the Philanthropic Initiative. The libsyn signup was very smooth, except that I can't seem to hear my podcast on the Mac using Firefox or Flock, my favorite browsers. Enough geekery.
Darlene and I hid out in Bellingham as a wild rain storm moved through the area. Tomorrow we will drive to Ocean Park, Maine, and on Monday return the Southwind to its rightful owner in Westbrook.
