New York Times reporters and editors are highlighting great stories from around the web. You can receive What We're reading by email, and let us know how you like it at email@example.com.
Facebook Rules
From ProPublica: — On Tuesday, Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook now has two billion monthly users. He also recently issued a new mission statement: "To give people the power to build community and bring the world closer together." That power is largely influenced by how those two billion people can express themselves via text, images and video in their posts. In this investigation, Julia Angwin and Hannes Grassegger reveal the secret guidelines that Facebook's moderators use to distinguish between hate speech and political expression, and shed light on the rules' shortcomings. — Cynthia Collins, editor, social media
Lots to Talk About
From The New York Times: More partisan writing you shouldn't miss. Writers from the left, right and center react to the Supreme Court's decision on the travel ban, the health care bill and more. — Anna Dubenko, senior digital strategist
From Longreads: Two weeks at a migrant shelter in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, yielded stories of dashed hopes, trauma and horror, as well as a picture of a priest trying to help. "The strange thing is that migrants exist, but at the same time they do not exist, because they have no identification papers," he says, "and therefore everyone does whatever they want to them." (In English or Spanish.) — Fernanda Santos, Phoenix Bureau chief
Escape to Africa
From Guernica: Nina Simone, the singer and pianist who blended jazz, gospel, blues and so many other styles she seemed to defy classification, spent three years living in Liberia during the mid-1970s. This story vividly recalls her time there, a period in which she barely recorded or performed but most certainly socialized. Liberia brought Simone "release, a lick of freedom" from the United States' oppressive racial climate but, in the end, "hadn't nourished her work." — Randy Archibold, deputy sports editor
'Even the Devil Has Left'
From The Atavist: You might not think to ask what happens to ISIS soldiers who are killed. The writer, a fellow news assistant, did, and he takes readers on a dark journey behind the Mosul front line where victory and defiance take precedent, and the treatment of the dead flies directly in the face of tradition. — Remy Tumin, news assistant
Second Skin
From Bloomberg Businessweek: A company in Iceland is pioneering a treatment that uses dried and processed fish skin to heal human wounds. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the treatment last year. Once processed, "one gram of fish skin is worth more than a gram of gold," says the company's chairman. — Patrick Boehler, briefings
The Year of the Tick
From Slate: This year, the risk of Lyme disease is expected to be high, especially if you live in the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic or Midwest. This writer, who has covered the tick beat for Nature and Scientific American and even started a tick Facebook group, "Tick Talk," tells why. She also offers five strategies to protect your family. — Lynda Richardson, senior staff editor, Travel
The First Big Thing
The Wall St. Journal: A fun trip back in time with Joanna Stern as she tries to make it through a whole day with an original iPhone from 2007. If you owned one of these marvels, the video might make you nostalgic. If you waited for a 3G or a 4 before you finally kicked your BlackBerry habit, it'll make you feel glad you were patient. — Michael Roston, senior staff editor, Science

MEEKER | Pioneers Healthcare Foundation (PHF) would like to thank the Meeker community for their generous support, sponsorships and donations. PHF was formed in 2010 with a clear mission to support Pioneer Medical Center by raising money to enhance rural healthcare. This community's steadfast support had made a direct impact on expanding and enhancing local healthcare services. PHF maximizes local dollars raised through donations and fundraising events by using them as matching or base funds for larger grant applications. In 2018, PHF raised over $160,000 through sponsorships, donations and grants. These dollars were put to work through the following programs and purchases:
Your dollars have been put to work in several areas:
Meals On Wheels–On average Meals on Wheels serves 10 meals a day, Monday thru Friday to area residents. With the help of volunteers, our aging, ill or disabled receive a nutritious meal at home. The service is free but many of our recipients make weekly donations to cover help defer costs. Meals on Wheels (MOW) costs approximately $20,000 to operate every year. In 2018 almost 3,000 Meals were delivered to community members.
Chest Compression Machine—A Chest Compression Machine is an important piece of equipment for use in the emergency department. It offers a rhythmic chest pump. For a person to offer manual chest compression is a very physical task and often you have to switch people. A Chest Compression Machine is much more consistent.
EKG Machine and Ventilator Machine—Pioneers Medical Center uses both pieces of equipment in the emergency department and hospital rooms. The EKG machine helps diagnose cardiac ailments. And the Ventilator treats a variety of respiratory issues.
Infusion Program–In 2018 PMC finished the installation of the chronic disease infusion care equipment and staff training. This helps PMC to give I/V treatments for patients suffering for low iron, Multiple Sclerosis, Crohn's Disease, Rheumatoid Arthritis and more.
Chemical Analyzer which has allow Pioneers to expand its on-site lab capacity.
Meeker Streaker Transportation offers free rides for medical appointments and local errands for residents who are unable to drive.
"We are proud to be able to support PMC, its providers and its patients" says Trina Zagar-Brown, Chairwoman for Pioneers Healthcare Foundation. "Our mission is to enhance and strengthen our local healthcare system. Pioneers does a great job identifying and meeting the needs of our community and our job is to raise money to to support PMC's mission. Every dollar raised by PHF helps save Pioneers Hospital money, maintain costs, expand and enhace services."
"The landscape of rural healthcare is changing daily, and often it is challenging to keep up with new technology to better serve our patients," says Pioneers Medical Center Chief Nursing Officer, Karen Iacuone. "The support from Pioneers Healthcare Foundation helps us to better invest in the patient care needs specific to our community."
Additionally, PHF continues to offer scholarships for students studying healthcare related careers, and mammography cancer screenings to low income and uninsured residents.
Pioneers Healthcare Foundation would like to thank our many generous sponsors in 2018.

Crockpot BBQ Baby Back Ribs
I don't know about you, but after a while we get bored of eating the same old things for dinner every night. Seems like its a steady rotation between some type of tomato sauce pasta, baked chicken and pizza... So last Friday before going grocery shopping I decided to sit down and try to find some newer recipes.
Mark and I LOVE ribs, but I've never made them at home because a.) I had no idea how too and b.) they're usually a little more expensive then the frozen chicken breasts we buy. But when I saw a recipe on pinterest for ribs done in the crockpot, and it seemed pretty darn easy, I decided to splurge and buy some ribs. It turns out - ribs at the grocery store last friday were buy 1 get 1 free! I ended up getting 2 racks of ribs for only $10 a piece. I was excited.
I made them Monday - the day I don't get off work until 7 - so it was the perfect time to let them sit in the crockpot all day and be ready to eat when I got home. I was nervous about how they were going to taste, but we were pleasantly surprised! I mean, they weren't Frankie's good (our favorite rib place in town) but they were fall off the bone tender and pretty flavorful!
I've list the Recipe below and also a link to the original blog where I found it.
2.5 tbsp Light brown sugar (or dark if you don't have it)
1 tsp Salt
1 tsp Pepper
1.5 tbsp Paprika
1/2 tsp Chili powder
1 cup BBQ sauce - I didn't really measure this, I just poured some on! (We like to use Sweet Baby Rays!)
2-2.5 lb pork [baby back] ribs
- Mix all of the dry ingredients in a bowl - making sure to mash up the brown sugar so it isn't clumpy
- Cut your ribs in half, leave the membranes on to keep them together,
- Rub the dry mix on the ribs - front and back
- Stick the ribs in the crockpot with the top thicker part towards the outside of the crockpot and the thicker side down.
- Pour your BBQ sauce all over the ribs
- Stick the lid on and wait 6-8 hours
In the original blog post she includes a second step where you broil the ribs in the oven and use the sauce from the crockpot to baste the ribs in. We skipped this step on Monday night and ate them right out of the crockpot and they were delicious. But if you're curious about the next step and want to take your ribs to the next level - check out the original recipe here at Take it from Mama!
Otherwise, enjoy the ribs! :)

Old Fart - I definitely saw your military 39 Chevy, but it's hood was open and it was surrounded by people both times I saw it. Since I could not readily determine who's it was to have the hood put down, I did not take it.

So this is my last pirate mani. I actually wore this for the Pirates premiere this whole weekend because I work at a movie theater so it suited the occasion. When I think of pirates, I think of treasure and skulls so I wanted to incorporate that into this mani. I used China Glaze in Passion for the base color. I used Sally Hansen Xtreme Wear in Black Out for the sponged tips. I could've done some more sponging to make the tips look cleaner, but I was kind of rushing because I had to get ready for work. I stamped using BM 211 in Konad black. Now that pirates week is over for me, I can finally try out all my Sally Hansen Crackle Overcoat polishes!

Investment policy
The sub-fund aims to achieve the highest possible capital growth. The sub-fund mainly invests in equities and equity-like securities. The sub-fund may also hold cash. The sub-fund invests in a portfolio of stocks in companies with high profit growth and high profitability that are based and/or conduct the majority of their business activity in emerging markets. The sub-fund can use derivatives for hedging purposes and to efficiently manage the portfolio. The currency of this class is continually hedged against the sub-fund's main currency. This hedging does not necessarily cover all currency risks. It entails costs which in turn reduce the share class' return. The portfolio manager can make investments for the sub-fund at his or her own discretion within the predefined investment limits. Any income generated will be reinvested and included in the value of your shares. The charges for buying and selling securities are paid by the sub-fund. They are payable in addition to the charges listed and reduce the sub-fund's return. You can redeem shares in the sub-fund on any working day. The only exceptions are on public holidays in Luxembourg or if a large number of stock exchanges and markets in which the sub-fund invests are closed.
1 Fund means «Undertaking for collective Investment». Undertaking for collective Investment is a general term used for different undertakings collecting money from the public and whose activity consists in managing an investment portfolio. The fund notion contains as well collective investment schemes in the form of an investment company (such as the Sicav or Sicafi) as the contractual funds (such as the Mutual Fund) and their sub-funds.

GREENWICH — Entering Tuesday's game against FCIAC boys soccer rival Trumbull, Greenwich had yielded only four goals all season, yet thanks to Tiago Frazao, the Eagles didn't follow the same pattern as the Cardinals' previous foes.
Frazao recorded a hat trick for Trumbull, which used a four-goal first half to continue its late-season surge.
Behind the offensive efforts of Frazao and senior Justin Horvath, Trumbull topped Greenwich for the first time since the 2011 season, posting a 4-1 win at rainy Cardinal Stadium.
"I wasn't expecting to come here to play to a 4-1 win," Eagles coach Silverio Vitiello said. "We try to approach every game the same way, but this does mean something extra to us, because we haven't beaten these guys since 2011, they have had our number."
Included in Greenwich's unbeaten streak against Trumbull prior to Tuesday's matchup was a tie between the squads in the 2016 FCIAC Tournament final and a victory by the Cardinals over the Eagles in the 2017 conference title game.
"For today, we took advantage of our chances," Vitiello said. "We were more opportunistic than they were, so it's a good win and we move on from there."
With the triumph, Trumbull raised its record to 8-2-4 and upped its point total to 28 points in the FCIAC West Division — good for second place. Greenwich, which went into the game in second place in the West Division with 26 points, has a record of 8-3-2.
"We just got caught ball watching and we were not winning enough first balls," said Cardinals coach Kurt Putnam, who noted his squad utilized a 3-5-2 system, instead of a 4-4-2, or 4-5-1. "It's a learning experience. We tried to do something that would be beneficial to the team and it didn't work."
Frazao scored the game's first goal in the 12th minute. Gathering a pass from Horvath, Frazao worked his past the a defender and found himself in a 1-on-1 situation with GHS senior goalie Padraig Colligan. Frazao was able to knock a shot by Colligan, who slid out of the goal to retrieve the ball.
"To get a win against them for the first time since 2011 is very important," Frazao said. "Especially for FCIACs, we want to try and get a home game."
Greenwich knotted the score at 1-1 in the 15th minute. In his first game back from a shoulder injury, senior Francisco Liguori converted a shot after receiving a pass from junior Matias Lew.
The visitors quickly responded, with Horvath booting a shot from 25 yards inside the right post. Frazao gave the Eagles a two-goal lead, scoring on a header off a pass from senior David Tucker. Completing his hat trick late in the opening half, Frazao put the Cards in a 4-1 hole.
"That last goal was a special one, it was my first high school hat trick," Frazao said. "The angle was too tight, so I faked a shot to create a tap in."
Colligan made four saves in the first half and senior Aidan Munoz played in goal during the second half for the Cardinals.
Goalie Nicholas Grassi, a senior, stopped three shots for Trumbull, which was paced defensively by junior Carrigan Cullinan and Matheus Martins.
Frazao's three goals gives him 13 for the season.
"Tiago has been doing that all season for us," Vitiello said.
"Greenwich had only conceded four goals this season and we scored four in the first half, which is a great accomplishment for us," Horvath said. "We are very versatile with our scoring, with two wingers who are fast and solid midfielders."
Liguori sustained a shoulder injury in the Greenwich rugby team's state championship game this past May and made his return on Tuesday.
"It feels great to be back," Liguori said. "I've been a part of this program for four years. These are the kids I grew up with back in my youth soccer days. It's nice to be back helping the team."
Liguori spent six months in physical therapy recovering from his shoulder injury.
"Physical therapy helped my mental state, now I need to work on my physical state and I have to get in shape to play 80 minutes."
Said Putnam: "It's nice to have Francisco back. He gives us a physical presence, an edge and he's going to score goals."
Trumbull hosts Bridgeport Central on Thursday. Greenwich plays visiting Trinity Catholic on Thursday.
"We started off the season a little bit slow and were a little back in the standings, but we played four teams in front of us the past week or so and we have gotten results, which is very important," Frazao said.
Records: Trumbull 8-2-4; Greenwich 8-3-2; Goals: T – Tiago Frazao 3, Justin Horvath; G – Francisco Liguori; Assists: T – Horvath, David Tucker, Brendan Phelan; G – Matias Lew; Goalies: T – Nicholas Grassi (3 saves); G – Padraig Colligan (5 saves), Aidan Munoz (2 saves).

Making Sense of the Flyers' Final Roster
The Philadelphia Flyers have put the finishing touches on the roster for the upcoming 2016-17 season. Training camp saw standouts like Travis Konecny and Ivan Provorov finally make the NHL roster. Ron Hextall said on Monday that the two youngsters were here to stay. While the performance of the young defenseman and forward are encouraging signs for the team, training camp also saw the roster become depleted in various ways. The Flyers will have to start the season far from full strength. The newly acquired depth will be tested early.
Let's start by looking at who the Flyers will be missing. Both defenseman Michael Del Zotto and forward Scott Laughton will need time because of lower body injuries sustained in camp (Del Zotto is expected to miss 4-5 weeks while Laughton's injury will sideline him for 3-4 weeks.) Defenseman Brandon Manning was also injured, but he returned to practice on Monday and is expected to be ready when the Flyers start their season on Friday in Los Angeles.
The team will also be without forward Brayden Schenn, who will serve a three game suspension to begin the year for his hit on T.J. Oshie in last year's playoff series. While the Flyers knew that Schenn would miss three games, the suspension of Radko Gudas further complicates their wishes for a strong start. In the team's final preseason game on Saturday, Gudas hit Bruin's forward Austin Czarnik up high along the boards. As a result, Gudas was suspended for the first six games of the regular season, the league announced Monday. He was suspended three games last season for an illegal hit as well. Gudas is a repeat offender, meaning that if he crosses the line again this season, a lengthy absence is assured.
Clearly the Flyers will be a weaker team to begin this season than they would prefer. With that being said, let's examine who is available for Friday night in L.A.
Forwards: Claude Giroux, Jake Voracek, Wayne Simmonds, Sean Couturier, Travis Konecny, Pierre-Edouard Bellemare, Nick Cousins, Dale Weise, Michael Raffl, Chris VandeVelde, Matt Read, Roman Lyubimov and Boyd Gordon. (Laughton and Schenn will be scratches)
Defensemen: Shayne Gostisbehere, Mark Streit, Andrew MacDonald, Brandon Manning, Ivan Provorov, Nick Schultz (Gudas, Del Zotto, and Mark Alt will be scratches)
Goalies: Steve Mason, Michal Neuvirth
Some notes about this roster:
- There are 15 forwards there, obviously more than the team would need. When Laughton and Schenn return, I would imagine that Chris VandeVelde would be waived or sent down to the Phantoms. Other than that, it's hard to say who the team would scratch with everyone available. Dale Weise and Boyd Gordon were both free agent signings meant to fill certain roles in the bottom six. Konecny and Raffl seem to be safe in middle or top six forward roles. Newcomer Roman Lyubimov seems to have adjusted well to North American ice, and being just 24 years old you would expect his game to grow as he settles into a role. Matt Read could be a candidate to sit in the press box (or to be traded) if he doesn't pick up his offense from last year. Nick Cousins had a strong finish to last season, but spent much of camp in a battle with Jordan Weal. If he is unable to replicate that success this year, he is another possible scratch.
- To me it would seem that there are four defenseman that the Flyers would like to play every night: Gostisbehere, Streit, Provorov, and MacDonald (Del Zotto and Gudas fall under that category as well, but I'm focusing more on the start of the season which these two defensemen will miss for different reasons). Brandon Manning and Nick Schultz are serviceable, but largely replaceable bottom-pairing defensemen. Unless they are extremely impressive in the absence of Gudas and Del Zotto, look for them to sit in the press box. MacDonald has not been particularly impressive during his tenure in Philadelphia and there is evidence that his play bogs down the advanced metrics of his teammates. But MacDonald seems to be determined to improve his play, and head coach Dave Hakstol took notice during training camp.
- "Mac has had a really good camp," Hakstol said last week. "Whether he has been on right side or left side or whatever partner he was with, I think he has had an excellent camp…he's been versatile, which is a key strength of our team."
- Goaltending doesn't have anywhere near as much turmoil as the other positions do. Steve Mason has looked sharp in the preseason and recently became a father. If 'Dad Strength' really is a thing, Mason could be better than ever. Look for another strong year from Mase. Neuvirth also looks sharp. He played for the Czech Republic at the World Cup of Hockey, and while the team wasn't successful, Neuvirth showed his usual flashes of brilliance that lend confidence heading into the year. The combination of Mason and Neuvirth should once again be a strength for Philadelphia.
So now, let's try to project the possible line combinations.
Forward lines
Michael Raffl – Claude Giroux – Wayne Simmonds
Travis Konecny – Sean Couturier – Jake Voracek
Pierre-Edouard Bellemare – Nick Cousins – Dale Weise
Roman Lyubimov – Body Gordon – Matt Read
(Scratches: Laughton, Schenn, VandeVelde)
Defense pairings
Ivan Provorov – Mark Streit
Nick Schultz – Shayne Gostisbehere
Andrew MacDonald – Brandon Manning
(Scratches: Del Zotto, Gudas, Alt)
Steve Mason
Michal Neuvirth
The Flyers have taken to separating Giroux and Voracek at even strength – at least this preseason. Simmonds is a physical presence that can bury passes from Giroux and surprise you at times with his skill set. Raffl has played on the left of Giroux before, so he can be a stop-gap for Schenn's three game absence. Looking forward, Schenn/Giroux/Simmonds is a skilled and versatile first line.
Voracek and Konecny are easily the two most skilled wingers with whom Sean Couturier has ever played. Konecny had a team leading six points in the preseason and didn't look out of place in the slightest amongst NHL competition. He's young, but skilled enough to keep up and possibly even elevate the play of the second line.
Bellemare was impressive for team Europe at the World Cup last month, and I'd expect the team to try to get more offense out of him this year. Alongside Cousins and Weise, the third line is responsible in every zone and should be able to provide a modest improvement in depth scoring from a year ago. Bellemare might drop a line when Laughton returns, but for the time being he can play here.
Boyd Gordon was brought in for this exact role. He'll be a defensively responsible fourth line center that can win face-offs and allow the Flyers to deploy Sean Couturier more in the neutral and offensive zones. Read could move up in the lines if his offense returns, but for now he's best suited in a checking role. VandeVelde doesn't have a place above the fourth line and will likely be scratched when Schenn returns. When Scott Laughton returns, he may simply take the place of the least productive forward. It could be Read, Lyubimov, or even Nick Cousins. But for now, it's hard to definitely say.
As for the defense, things become a little harder to predict. We've seen Provorov paired with a lot of players this preseason, but his play with Mark Streit has been steady and appears to have stuck. Streit is 38, so having a young pair of legs who can move the puck well gives the Flyers a versatile and responsible first pairing.
Gostisbehere is the best puck mover on the team, so while he is on the second pairing here, expect a lot of ice time for last year's Calder trophy finalist. Pairing him with Schultz or MacDonald will likely be temporary until Gudas returns. Ghost has even seen time with Provorov in the preseason. He is versatile enough to play with anyone, so we probably won't see a definitive pairing be established until the rest of the team is at full strength.
MacDonald, Schultz, and Manning are all serviceable, but only one will stay in the lineup once Gudas and Del Zotto return. The early part of the season will be a competition among the three for earning playing time for the rest of the year.
Steve Mason is the starting goalie until proven otherwise. Staying healthy has always been a problem for Michal Neuvirth, so he's comfortable as a backup (albeit one of the best in hockey).
Training camp was an up and down time for the Flyers. Through injuries and suspensions, they enter the season with a different roster than expected, but one that is still talented enough to build on past success and return to the playoffs. The infusion of young talent gives fans reason for excitement and could potentially elevate them past last year's first round playoff exit. This year is off to a bumpy start, but hockey is finally back. Time to sit back and enjoy the ride.

Broiler farming is one of all business which gave high profits. That's because all the body parts of broiler chickens can be process to some options like culinary, ornament, paint, and sports. The high profit calls all beginners to start this business. This business is not always guarantee for high profit, but also it has its own challenge. As we know that broiler chickens are susceptible to diseases. The disease is not only caused by external factors like virus or bacteria but also caused by internal factors like the genetic and the growth process. That's should be main point for beginners who started the broiler farming.
The beginners should highlight the information tips and some regulations of broiler farming. It will help them to monitoring the farm movement. Also, it is important for beginners to choose the high quality broiler chicks to rising for. Learn it directly to senior farmer also needed for beginners to gain the information and some secret tips.
To give you general information to start broiler farming, here is guide for beginners to start broiler farming
1. Location
The best location for this business is the place which far from settlement. You better considering the comfortable of your neighbor. The broiler farming produces stink which can ruin the smell. Pick the location which isn't around by settlement but not over far from your house. You can choose the location between rice fields or free space land. It is better if the location is far from settlement, nearly by your house and available with water source.
2. The access
It is important for you to pay attention over the access to your farm. Bad access can impact your business too. Your partner maybe don't want to be your partner anymore because they hard to access your farm. Even you give them low price, it is be plus point if you treat your partner with nice access to make their job easier. Besides, bad access also impact to your broiler chickens, for example potholes. When the rain is come, the water will fill the potholes. The potholes will trigger some diseases by its puddle.
3. The cage and air circulation
Besides the cage should be near with water source, you must take the regulations to start the business. It is better to make the cage position is stretching from east to west. Install some lamps to light the cage in the night and helps the chicks warm. The location which is far from settlement with none any building around the cage is profitable to air circulation. The wind will get in and out regularly. It makes the broiler chickens get fresh air to reduce the hot temperature. You are also makes and manage the litter and insulation. Don't forget to give a place to eat and drink for chickens.
4. Selection broiler chicks
Choose healthy chicks which active move, no defects, fat, have good or shiny feathers, clean nose condition, have sharp or not glazed eyes, and choose the chicks that have a clean hole.
5. The food
To meet the nutritional need of broiler chickens, you must pay attention to the content that contained in the feed so that the chicken produced is healthier and has and ideal height. Choose the foods that contain carbohydrates, vitamins, protein, minerals, and fat. The type of feed used in chicken farm usually consists of 2 types, namely factory feed or homemade feed. For factory feed types are usually divided into 2 stages:
- Enlargement stage
At this stage, broiler chickens are still between 1-20 days old. In order for the broiler chicken enlargement process to go according to what we expect then use feed with a minimum 23% protein to support growth and development because at this age chickens will experience very fast growth.
- Fattening stage
The fattening stage is the stage when the chickens are over the age of 20 days old. At this age, the broiler chicken needs less protein which is around 20%, besides protein, the broiler chicken also need carbohydrates, fats, minerals, and vitamins to gain the weight.
6. Vaccination
Giving vaccines to broiler chicken is the first step that must be taken to prevent the entry of the disease into the chicken. Vaccine is a weakened or already disabling microorganism that causes pain or is immunogenic which means it can stimulate or stimulate immune formation in the body. In the process id administering vaccines or what is known as vaccination can be done by mixing vaccines with drinking water, drop vaccination, and injection vaccination. Before vaccinating, there are a number of things that you need to be considered, here is the following explanation:
- Good vaccine storage method
Keep the vaccine in the refrigerator with temperatures between 2-8 C. Do store it in the freezer section. Avoid vaccine from heat and sunlight directly. Keep out of reach of children. If the vaccine will be transported to a place that is quite far away, place it in a place that has goo insulation properties to the temperature in the outside environment. The right container is a thermos or stereo foam box, don't forget to put ice in the container.
- Situation and condition that need to be considered before administering the vaccine
Look over the type of vaccine to be used, dosage. You better see the expiration table and the time to give the vaccine must be right. Before giving a vaccine, make sure the chicken is healthy. Avoid vaccination during weather or hot temperatures. The maximum temperature allowed is 29 C. as much as possible stay away from using metal containers, it is recommended to use plastic containers. Use new, clean, and fresh water which is free of chlorine, disinfecting, and has a pH between 6,5 – 7,5. Vaccine sites and vaccinations must be cleaned immediately after use. Wash using running water without any additional chlorine and disinfectant. After vaccination, you should immediately give supplements or multivitamins so that the chicken is not easily stressed.
7. Treatment
- First week (1-7 days0
Move the chicks to the heater then give warm drinking water and sugar (day 1). For day 2 and so on you can use ordinary water. Give the initial feed for chicks in the form of small gains or crumbles. The amount of the feed given is at least 13 grams per head or 1,3 kilograms for the needs of 100 chickens. Whereas, the first vaccination will be carry out on the 4th day.
- Second week (8-14 days)
In the second week, it still requires supervision but it is lighter than the first week. The temperature can be lowered. Feed needed in the second week is 33 grams per chickens or 3,3 kilograms per 100 chickens.
- Third week (15-21 days)
During the daytime, the heater can be turned off. The amount of feed needed is 48 grams per chicken. The second vaccination is carried out again this week, especially towards the end of the week or near the 21st day.
- Fourth week (22-28 days)
Heaters can be removed, because at this age chicken feathers have started for dense and enough to warm his body. The feed needed is 65 grams per chicken.
- Fifth week (29-35 days)
The amount of feed needed is more, which is 88 grams per chicken. Before the age of 35 days, do a sampling body weight again. The ideal body weight is 1,8 -2 kilograms.
- Sixth week (36-42 days)
At this age, the chicken is ready for harvest. The floor must be kept dry and always maintain the cleanliness of the cage.

Voting has now closed you'll have the chance to decide the ultimate iconic brand via a live vote at our spectacular Diamond Anniversary Dinner in London, 27 November.
Cool Britannia gained momentum as The Labour Party won a landslide victory in the General Election led by a fresh-faced Tony Blair. With a 179 seat majority, it was Labour's first General Election victory since 1974.
It was also the year of the car. Audi won The Marketing Society Award for Excellence as brand of the year with record breaking levels of sales, profits and market share. Sticking with its memorable 80s strapline, "Vorsprung durch Technik" and struggling from the recession, Audi took a long, hard look at its brand and overhauled everything – launching new models, establishing an Audi dealer network, revamping its after-sales service and rolling out a large marketing campaign.
Meanwhile Audi's sister company Volkswagen reaped awards for a raft of successful ads from Snowplough to Lamp post and the strapline, "If only everything was as reliable…"
New Labour's victory is regarded by some as one of the most brand savvy political projects in British history. Set to the soundtrack of D:Ream's 'Things can only get better', New Labour took a step to the right to broaden its appeal to Middle England.
The political party adopted modern marketing methods grooming and grilling potential voters like consumers. During the 1997 New Labour campaign the party ran around six focus groups a week.
Two successful slogans were introduced this year. L'Oreal told us we deserved to spend lots of money on haircare products, "Because I'm worth it" and French Connection's cheeky acronym 'fcuk' was fully exploited by the clothes retailer.
Award-winning ad campaigns came from Nike's 'Good versus Evil' starring Eric Cantona that also ran in 1996. Then the BBC persuaded Lou Reed and an astonishing line-up of world class performers including David Bowie, Elton John, Tom Jones and Bono to sing 'Perfect Day.' It was later released as a single for Children in Need, reaching number one and selling over one million copies.

Just 1% of British parents who were eligible to take parental leave in 2018 did so (Huffington Post, 4/5/19). That's according to data from the Trades Union Congress (TUC).
A new study indicated that only 9,200 new parents took up the shared leave in 2018 – just 1% of those eligible to it.If this were an election, parental leave lost – big. People "voted with their feet" and either remained at work or weren't there to begin with and therefore didn't need leave to care for their newborn.
So, are British parents simply unconcerned with their kids, or is something else at work?
The Trades Union Congress (TUC) said the take-up was poor because the scheme's low payment of £145 a week made it unaffordable for most fathers…
Fathers in insecure jobs such as agency work or those on zero-hours contracts are not eligible, as well as self-employed men and women, said the TUC.It's interesting how the article linked-to moves from "parental" leave to "fathers." It makes it hard to figure out how many fathers took leave and how many mothers did. But whatever the case, 9,200 in a whole year isn't many. And the TUC knows why. The simple fact is that parental leave is parental leave in name only if parents, particularly dads, can't afford to take it.
Here in the U.S., data demonstrate that, when men become fathers, they tend to start spending more time at work earning to cover the family's needs. My guess is that British dads do much the same. So when Parliament tells fathers that, in order to bond with their child, they need to take a huge cut in pay, many of them simply can't. With another mouth to feed and Mom likely wanting to (and for a while needing to) take time off work, taking a pay cut isn't in the cards for the great majority of men.
Our friend Dr. Anna Machin made the same point quite forcefully in her book The Life of Dad. She called current family leave laws "unworkable" due to "a lack of financial backing."
She goes on:
One of the starkest representations of the gulf that still exists between maternity and paternity rights is the fact that only ninety-two of the world's 196 countries have statutory paternity leave and in half of these this is limited to three weeks or less. This is in contrast to the global right to maternity leave. It is hard not to view these statistics as evidence of society's continuing belief that dads just aren't that relevant in the childcare story.Here in the U.S. this may all sound a bit arcane, given that we have no federally-guaranteed right to parental leave. Still, Machin makes a salient point; we assume that fathers aren't interested in their kids and then "prove" the point by providing them a form of leave that's financially impossible for them to utilize. We can then say "See? We were right all along. Fathers just aren't that interested in their kids."
Machin also cites the experience the Province of Quebec had when, in 2006, it initiated non-transferrable (i.e. for individual parents only) and well-funded paternity leave. The result was a 250% increase in fathers' usage of leave.
Machin adds:
It is only with adequately funded, non-transferrable paternity leave that fathers will be empowered to becoming more involved in the home, caring for their children and contributing to domestic life.I would add that mothers becoming willing to give up their hegemony over childcare is at least as important as paternity leave to creating an even balance between mothers and fathers in domestic and work life. Again, there's no parental leave in this country, save that provided voluntarily by individual employers, but the ratio of stay-at-home mothers to stay-at-home fathers is still about 30:1. Psychologists study maternal gatekeeping because mothers sometimes stand between Dad and his child.
And most importantly, our laws and courts routinely sideline fathers when Mom and Dad separate or divorce. It's far too much to ask men to dive into parenting wholeheartedly knowing that their marriage can end at any time and their time with their children will be reduced to occasional visits.
In short, there's more to increased paternal investment in children than laws on paternity leave. But those laws are part of the picture that we're attempting to paint with oh so much pushback from those who oppose even modest improvements to kids' relationships with their dads.

I've had another review for my second published novel, Calvus. It can be found on amazon.com. Text is as follows:
Wow, well when I decided to take a chance on Calvus I had no idea what a thrill ride I was about to let myself in for. It is a fascinating crime/thriller. British police procedural with a plot line that has implications that date back thousands of years. I guess if I had to make a comparison with a more widely known writer I would say Dan Brown, but to be honest I enjoyed this way more than The DaVince Code. The writing is tight but pacy and despite the complex subject matter you're never confused as to what is going on as the exposition is dealt out in manageable bite sized chunks. I loved it, and look forward to reading more by Darryl Greer.

The Eucentric Position
The eucentric position is the horizontal center of the objective lens. The sample must be set to this position. To do this the entire sample holder is raised or lowered.
TEMs are set up so that magnification, camera length, and correct focus are set to this reference position. When the sample height (in the Z-direction) is set at the eucentric position, one can tilt the sample around its axis without the image of the sample moving across the projection screen.
The eucentric height can be set by adjusting the objective lens current to a specific known setting for a specific voltage (e.g. 80kV, 100kV or 200kV), and then raising or lowering the Z-height until the image is in focus. The "wobbler" button can be used as a focus aid where one brings the vibrating split image together into one static image.
Alternatively, if the objective lens current is not known for the correct sample height, the sample Z-height is raised or lowered until, when tilted, the axis of the sample remains centered.
This is how the beam path looks when set up for selected area diffraction (SAD) and the sample height is incorrectly set (left) and correctly set (right). Observe what happens to the magnification and focus.

Mr. Clingsworth announces a most shocking discovery!
Fabric softeners reduce the amount of static electricity in clothes!
In a recent study on fabric softener, scientists learned that static electricity is an imbalance of electric charge: a lack or overabundance of electrons on the surface of the material.
This typically occurs by "tribocharging"
when two materials are brought into contact and then separated!
(electrons are exchanged by the materials, leaving one with a positive charge and the other with a negative charge).
Friction between the two materials can increase this charge-separation process.
Otherwise known as a give and take relationship.
Under normal atmospheric conditions, fibers such as cotton and wool have a relatively high moisture content, which makes them slightly conductive.
This prevents the charge separation from occurring by allowing static electricity to be conducted away!
However, synthetic materials have a high surface electrical resistance particularly when humidity is low - it's this that prevents the charge from dissipating.
In the end, scientists discovered that it was the layer of fabric softener that reduces the electrical resistance of the surface of the fabrics!
The moral of the story:
If you're ever having trouble with your relationship, just add fabric softener!
It brings things (and people) together!
If you're ever having trouble with your relationship, just add fabric softener!
It brings things (and people) together!
