Cyathula prostrata is distributed from Africa to China and Australia, throughout Southeast Asia and introduced in Central America.
C. prostrata is an annual to perennial herb, which can grow up to a height of 30-50 cm tall. It is an erect or ascending herb with its rooting at the nodes, the stem obtusely quadrangular, thickened above the nodes, often tinged with red, covered with patent and fine hairs.
The leaves arrangement are opposite, simple and rhomboid-obovate to rhomboid-oblong form. The size measures between 1.3-15 cm x 0.7-6.5 cm. The base is contracted or narrowed, rounded, apex triangular, acute to obtuse, entire, ciliate, with margin or blade often tinged red and short petiole.
The inflorescence is erect, elongated raceme, terminal and in highest leaf-axils. The leaflets are densely hairy. The stalk of inflorescence measures 1-12 cm long. The flowers are in small clusters. The stalk of individual flower is short. It is erect before anthesis and reflexed in fruiting. The bracts are ovate and acuminate. There are 2-3 bisexual flowers at the lower clusters and up to 20 red steriles. The hooked awns are towards the apex with fewer sterile flowers. The apex has only solitary bisexual flowers. Its flowers are small with five sepals. The 2.5-3 mm long bisexual flowers are ovate-oblong, sharp and short tipped. The flowers are dull pale green, hairless within and externally clothed with patent long and white hairs. The tepals of sterile flowers measure 1.7-2.5 mm long but without a stalk. The stamens have 5 filaments that unite at base and free parts measure 1 mm long. The ovary is superior and obovoid with 1-celled, its funicle is short and in filiform style. The stigma is capitellate.
The fruit is an ellipsoid utricle, measures 1.5-2 mm long, thin-walled, hairless, 1-seeded and surrounded by stiff perianth. The seed is ovoid or ellipsoidal, measures 1-1.5 mm long and shiny brown. The seedling is with epigeal germination.
C. prostrata is weedy and occurs in shaded localities, along roadsides, in teak forests, secondary forests, often gregariously and from sea level up to 1650 m altitude.

Recent reports suggest that back pain is becoming more common in children. At Medical City Children's Orthopedic and Spine Specialists, our physicians have successfully performed over 5,500 spinal surgeries.
Quality of care is important in the treatment of the back and spine in children and adolescents. We offer the special innovation and critical care level that is needed.
In the past, back pain was considered uncommon in children and adolescents. However, recent reports suggest that back pain is becoming more common in children. The rate of back pain in children increases with increasing age. By the age of 15 years, 20 to 70 percent of children will report some back pain. Although most back pain is not due to an underlying serious problem, this is not always the case, especially in children under 5 years.
The most common cause of back pain is muscular strain, injury, or overuse. True injuries probably cause a lower percentage of pain than overuse. Repetitive running, jumping, conditioning may be more common than acute injuries and a significant number of pediatric and adolescent patients with back pain are sedentary and without known cause of pain. Core muscle imbalance or weakness may contribute to the pain. Less common causes include infection, tumor, trauma, or various deformities such as scoliosis (spinal curvature), kyphosis (round back), spondylolysis (defects or broken area of bone), and spondylolisthesis (slipping of one bone on another).
Back pain can occur at any age and at any location along the back or spine. It is important to check with a pediatric orthopedic physician if your child reports severe or progressively worsening back pain, pain that lasts more than several days, or pain that is associated with other warning signs such as:
The pediatric physicians at Medical City Children's Orthopedic and Spine Specialists will start with a history and a physical exam. With back pain, it is important to see a pediatric orthopedic physician who is familiar with treating the spine and back pain in children. They will ask when the pain began, if it started with a specific injury or activity, and if it is getting better or worse, where the pain is located, when does it seem worse, and if there are any other associated complaints such as fever, weight loss, pain going down the leg, or bowel or bladder changes.
During the physical examination, one of our pediatric physicians will observe or inspect your child, looking for spinal curves, posture, skin changes, walking ability, and symmetry and will palpate or feel each backbone to try to identify areas of pain. Your child will be asked to bend forward, backward, and to the sides. Our pediatric physician will check reflexes and sensation as well as move your child's legs up and down looking for signs of pressure on the nerves exiting the spine and will perform tests to assess flexibility, strength and coordination.
We provide quality of care for back and spine complexities.
"If your child would need surgery, we start early in the process with conditioning the muscles around the bones or fracture areas. We provide pre-surgical treatment which then allows us to perform surgeries much quicker in the OR with less anesthesia and blood loss." Shyam Kishan, MD
After a thorough exam of your child, the doctor may order one of multiple imaging studies or tests. At Medical City Children's Orthopedic and Spine Specialists, we may use an EOS machine where the radiation exposure is very low which is important when taking X-ray exams of children. Treatment of back pain depends on the underlying conditions. Because of the difficulty in finding the source of pain in up to half of children and adolescents, your doctor may recommend rest or therapy after the initial evaluation and X-ray
Muscular strain or overuse (acute or chronic) is the most common cause of back pain in children and adolescents. Core muscle imbalance or weakness may contribute to the pain. Acute strains usually resolve after a period of rest or activity modification. Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications (ibuprofen or naproxen) and ice may help relieve acute symptoms by decreasing swelling. After 4-5 days, warm compresses may be preferred as heat may help relax muscles and decrease muscle spasm. A regular program of low impact walking with a goal of 30-45 minutes a day can help increase conditioning as initial pain improves. Hamstring stretching and abdominal strengthening can help relieve persistent back pain. Many children and adolescents will benefit from a formal physical therapy program to teach them appropriate exercises.
Round back or kyphosis may result in back pain, typically in adolescents. For some, the round back is due to poor posture and can be improved with core exercises. For others, the spine actually has structural changes that can progress and result in deformity. This condition, known as Scheuermann's kyphosis, is characterized by wedge shaped vertebra that collapse anteriorly and result in a hunched or rounded appearance. Surgery may be indicated in severe cases.
Spondylolysis refers to a defect or stress fracture in the posterior spine that can cause low back pain. Activities that require twisting or hyperextension of the back (such as gymnastics, wrestling, diving, football, and hockey) may put increased stress in the low back resulting in trauma to the bone and eventual fracture. Pain is usually worse with back extension rather than bending forward. Tight hamstrings may pull on the pelvis resulting in flattening of the low back or difficulty taking long strides with walking or running. Taking a break from sports and doing exercises focused on hamstring stretching and core strength can help relieve tension in the low back and improve symptoms. A back brace can provide some relief. Surgery is reserved for those cases of severe pain that do not improve with non-operative treatment.
Spondylolisthesis refers to slipping of one vertebra forward with respect to the vertebra below and occurs most often in the lower, or lumbosacral, spine. Defects in the posterior spine allows for this slippage to occur. As the vertebra slips forward, it can injure spinal nerves. Often children/adolescents can participate in full sports with mild slips if pain is minimal. If slips are severe or progressive, surgery may be recommended.
Disk herniation rarely occurs in adolescents, but it is possible during forceful activity such as weightlifting. Unlike adults, children and adolescents still have growth plates on the ends of their vertebrae. That's why it is important that children see a pediatric orthopedic physician who knows how to treat growth plates in children when it comes to spinal injuries. When the disk herniates, or pushes back, the young disk may pull a fragment of this growing bone with it, and this can cause pressure on the nerves or spinal cord. When this occurs, surgery may be necessary to remove the bone fragment.
Infection can affect the vertebral bones or disks of the spine. Infection of the disk space, known as diskitis, tends to affect younger children. In addition to pain, a child with a spine infection may have fever, low back stiffness, and refusal to walk or bend at the waist. Lab tests, our EOS X-ray machine, and/or MRI are useful in making the diagnosis. Treatment usually involves antibiotics.
Tumors, although rare, can occur in the spine of children. Constant or progressively worsening pain, night pain, or pain associated with fever or weight loss should be evaluated by a doctor. Treatment depends on the type of tumor.

Just Had to Blog This
Hey what is up?
If you've kept up with this blog, you know I've been on POF in the past.
I go on time to time, after as much failure I have had on there, time to time is even too much. Nowadays though, part of it is entertainment. Today I was entertained. I looked at a profile, the girl was pretty no doubt. But what killed me was her blurb. She was like "I like bad boys, so you have to be real bad to win me." LOL. WTF? It gets better, she's like "I also love Justin Bieber, if you do win me, just know he comes first." You don't like bad boys, you like pieces of shit!
I have met people who have done bad things, technically bad boys, but are real swell dudes. If she were into those, then I'm cool. But when your definition is based on Biebs, LMAO, he's not a bad boy, he's a clown. The dude tries to be bad, but he is just a spoiled millionaire.
This is enlightening, growing up you always hear girls like bad boys and I've always wanted to be less of a nice guy because of it. But after reading this profile and getting a better understanding of what type of girl digs bad boys…I'm okay with not being one. Lady, it turns out even I'm too good for you. Best of luck with your interest in "bad boys" LOL.

Royal Canadian Air Farce was a comedy troupe consisting of performers Roger Abbott, Don Ferguson, Luba Goy, John Morgan (Rest In Peace), Jessica Holmes, Craig Lauzon, Alan Park and writers Gord Holtam and Rick Olsen. This television series was shown every week on CBC Television where the viewers would hear Air Farce's unique and hilarious blend of topical humor aimed at our country's (and the world's) most newsworthy people and events.
Air Farce began in Montreal, Quebec in 1970. John Morgan and Martin Bronstein founded the improvisational theatre revue, "The Jest Society" and the original members were John Morgan, Martin Bronstein, Patrick Conlon, Gay Claitman and Roger Abbott. But as of January 1971, The Jest Society was John Morgan, Martin Bronstein, Roger Abbott, Don Ferguson and Luba Goy, performing on stage in Toronto and Ottawa.
Dave Broadfoot joined them in 1973, and this group became "The Royal Canadian Air Farce", debuting on CBC Radio on December 9, 1973. The show was recorded live for the first few years at the Curtain Club in Richmond Hill, Ontario then at CBC's Cabbagetown studio theatre in Toronto, and then at theatres all across Canada, and before you know it, the broadcasts were all across the country on CBC Radio, recording 612 original half-hour shows, until May 25, 1997.
"The Royal Canadian Air Farce" first hit television on CBC Television on October 1980, which was a one-hour special. CBC commissioned a 10 week series, which aired from February to April, 1981, while specials were also added in 1982 and 1983.
In 1984, Air Farce was shown as a videotape on a Pay-TV special live in Toronto. The group spent the next eight years taking the radio show on the road to communities from coast to coast, plus extensive concert and theatrical performances across Canada and in the U.S.
On the final night of 1992, Air Farce took a second plunge into television with "1992 Year of the Farce", a satirical New Year's Eve Special which it produced and sold to CBC Television. The group then, began to develop a weekly series starting on October 8, 1993.

A not-so-inside joke among graphic designers is if you say something was "designed by committee", you're disavowing any responsibility for the look of it. There were likely so many hands in the pot, the end result either looks bland and lifeless or like a rainbow run through a meat grinder.
At the same time, designers can't live in a vacuum. We do our best work when inspired by something or someone else. We need to bounce ideas around with others and work from unexpected tangents. I've recently come to the realization that the perfect number of people for collaborating on nicely inspired and effective design work is three. Get three people in a room, no more and no less, and the idea flow and problem-solving seems to be smoothest. The brainstorming doesn't have the chaos of four or more, and you don't have the empty stares and mind searching with just two. With three, everyone's a participant. Nobody can space out in silence.
Wait…[Googling]…there's actually evidence for this?! Studies show that groups of three to five are ideal at problem solving and outperform individuals or groups of two.
So put into practice; let's say, as your company's design diva, you're handed a project from someone who has some idea of what they want to accomplish, but little idea what the end result should look like. You could just run with it and create what you think is a fantastic design, but it may not convey the message coherently. Before expending the time and energy on a design that may be tossed aside, pull a third party into the discussion, even if they aren't associated with the project.
On the other side, if you're color-blind and have tube socks where your right brain should be, but you know your goal, don't just rely on the designer's intuition to execute it. Bring in someone else to round out the perspective. And if you don't have a designer to help, it's common knowledge that three non-designers equal one decent designer. Well, maybe that will be common knowledge after this blog article?
This 'rule of threes' almost guarantees you'll approach a problem from all angles and craft a more effective solution. Having three people feeding each other helps break the creative barrier. The bonus of this rule is you'll have buy-in from three voices, not just one or two, when more hands want to grind the rainbow, so to speak.
Give it a try the next time you're stuck for creative inspiration or need to solve a problem. Drag two others in a room, hash it out, and let us know how it went in the comments below.

"I see grow-ops as one of the single biggest problems we face in our communities -- they do represent a serious threat to public safety," McLellan told Canada's first national conference on the illicit operations. She suggested delegates at the RCMP-hosted event embrace further integration of law-enforcement agencies to better combat large-scale cultivators. McLellan denied the Liberal government's move toward decriminalizing marijuana was counter-productive to the objectives of the conference. "The message, whether it's from me, whether it's from the minister of justice, the minister of health, is that marijuana continues to be illegal in this country, and you're pretty stupid, in most cases, if you smoke it." She further stated "the jury's still out," when it comes to the drug's medicinal effects. - --- MAP posted-by: Larry Seguin

Britney Is Performing On The Jonathan Ross ShowSeptember 21, 2016
Britney will kick off October with a new performance and sit-down on The Jonathan Ross Show.
Britney will kick off October with a new performance and sit-down on The Jonathan Ross Show.
Britney is about to embark on another whirlwind promotional tour to expose new audiences to her recently released album Glory. The pop star is gearing up to perform at the iHeart Radio Music Festival this Saturday (Sep. 24), then will fly overseas to take the stage at the Apple Music Festival on Sep. 27 in London and, according to ThisIsTheLatest, will also hit up The Jonathan Ross Show on Oct. 1.
That performance marks her first televised stint in the U.K. since 2008's Circus era.
The "Love Me Down" singer will also chat with Ross one-on-one.
Actor Alexander Skarsgård is slated for the same episode, which means they could run into each other. Which means they could fall in love. Which means they could have some ridiculously gorgeous children. Which means I'm planning Britney's hypothetical future and I should just stop.
Thoughts? Let us know in Exhale.

The Royal Borough Council invoked its severe weather emergency protocol (SWEP) on Thursday.
The council was set to dicuss its new homelessness strategy at a cabinet meeting on the same evening in a bid to improve the borough's homeless situation.
Website homeless.org.uk states: "Historically, the minimum SWEP response from local authorities was to open provision when there was a forecast of zero degrees, or below zero, for three consecutive nights.
"Every Local Authority should have a Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP) which is used when severe weather is forecast. We recommend that each area agrees a flexible process for triggering and coordinating SWEP, based on empathy for people sleeping rough in severe weather.
"The protocol should be implemented (i.e. accommodation made available) on the first night of the forecast."
However, RBWM decided to implement the protocol on Thursday regardless of weather forecasts, and will keep it in place until spring 2019.
In a message on Twitter, leader of the council Simon Dudley said: "@RBWM will take its new #Homelessness Strategy to Cabinet on Thursday. Irrespective of temperatures we will invoke our Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP) that evening. SWEP will run all winter till Spring 2019 protecting the most vulnerable."

The U.S. fire professionals have set up systems and codes for inspections, occupancy limits, and fire response that continue to save thousands of lives. Of the 1,298,000 fires reported in 2014, there were 3,275 fatalities and 64 firefighters lost their lives in the line of duty.
One of these tragedies occurred on October 7th last year in Hartford, Connecticut where firefighter Kevin Bell died while fighting a house fire. His death was ruled an accident caused by lack of breathable air - a malfunction of the self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health's (NIOSH) preliminary report indicates that one of the alarms on the SCBA that Bell was wearing was not working properly. NIOSH also tested the SCBA of a second firefighter, Jason Martinez, who was seriously injured during the fire, and found that his SCBA air cylinders had not been tested in the past five years, as required by federal law. In April, Connecticut Occupational Safety and Health Administration (Conn-OSHA) issued citations and a $4,000 fine for this violation as well as the department's failure to perform SCBA fit-testing in the past year, also required by fire department regulations.
The SCBA is a critical equipment on which the life of a firefighter may depend. Considering this gravity, there are extensive and detailed rules on how SCBA must perform and all SCBA sold in the U.S. must meet these requirements with certification. The regulations for SCBA are codified in NFPA 1981: Standard on Open-Circuit Self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) for Emergency Services (2013 Edition). In addition to meeting the design and performance requirements, the equipment must adhere to stringent periodic tests. Section 4.4.1 of NFPA 981 states that "All SCBA models that are labelled as compliant with this standard shall undergo recertification on an annual basis." All attachments to the SCBA are also subject to the same test mandates.
SCBA and all equipment that firefighters need to complete their job safely must be ready and fully functional 100% of the time. All of this requires a tedious task: recordkeeping and disciplined testing. With the internet and mobile devices, this process has now become easier than ever. While writing in a ledger does not trigger a warning that an SCBA is due for retesting in four or six weeks, computers provide the active notification for all such tests. Mobile apps make it possible to scan bar codes and update test results where they are performed.
WIth Veoci, fire chiefs can ensure the full functionality of each individual SCBA, every time, while adhering to NFPA standards. In the fast-paced, high-urgency environment of a firehouse, Veoci's cloud-based software organizes and documents regular equipment inspections, maintenance requests, certifications and tests to ensure that every time a firefighter straps on their SCBA, it will work.

Mrs Brown's Boys pulls in up to 9 million viewers – but who the hell is watching it and why?
On Christmas Day 2017, the most watched TV programme wasn't Strictly Come Dancing, EastEnders, or The Great British Bake Off – it was a BBC comedy called Mrs Brown's Boys that is loathed by critics and yet has become a silent smash hit.
Starring Brendan O'Carroll dressed in a frock as the titular Mrs Brown, a foul-mouthed matriarch who can't help but meddle in her children's lives, the show is full of lazy innuendo, slapstick comedy, and has been described as 'end-of-pier trash' and 'the worst comedy ever made'; Metro.co.uk called it 'jaw-droppingly past its sell-by date' when the first episode aired in 2011.
Yet it consistently brings in some of the BBC's highest-ratings; in 2017 it pulled in 6.8 million viewers on Christmas day, and over the past four years each special has had an average over 9 million.
Why? The divide between critics and TV viewers has long been wide, but perhaps never as wide as when it comes to this show.
And perhaps a lot of it is to do with class and generation; as we saw with Brexit, social media and the critical press may be overwhelming liberal and left-wing, but it turns out much of the country is yearning for a return to 'the good old days'.
Roy Collins, 66, is a big fan of the show, and admits it's O'Carroll's straight-talking ways that have him creased every episode.
'I just like the sense of humour, and what he says is what a lot of people would like to say,' says Roy.
'You think, I'd like to say that, it's the straight-talking but he's just thinking what most of us think and he gets away with it. I think that in life now, you can't say anything can you? Everything is either racist or… I don't know.
'But years ago you had Love Thy Neighbour and Alf Garnett and all that – you can't get away with it now.'
Linda Oulton, 54, agrees: 'In a way I suppose we all behave like Mrs Brown and have daily situations like her.'
Based on a radio show and later a play, Mrs Brown's Boys maintains a lot of the theatrical elements, including filming the show live, regular breaking of the fourth wall, and a slightly ramshackle pantomime quality to the episodes.
'I think it's a wind up, and he doesn't take it serious,' adds Roy.
Many of those we spoke to have been watching for years, but for Liz Bowman, 63, it's the Irish connection that drew her in.
'I love the humour and as my mother was Irish, it reflected a lot about her friends,' she said.
'It is different and appealing, and older people like it because of the Irish connection; not many young people have Irish parents, it is more the older generation.'
More: TV
Only Fools And Horses, Morecombe And Wise, and The Two Ronnies are all referenced by fans as other favourite shows, and Linda suggests that 'there aren't many comedies on TV now' that can offer what those did.
'I love the cast; I associate certain characters with people I know and sometimes there's a serious message in there too.'
For Roy, one scene in particular stands out that epitomises his love of the show: 'When Grandad "died" and was at his own funeral, and I keep singing it – "Father Quinn, Father Quinn!"
'That's a brilliant sketch. It's like, "if I died I wonder who would turn up at my funeral?" – Grandad's in his coffin and they say, "does anyone want to say a few words?" and no one wanted to speak and then he 'comes alive', and then the song…. that humour was so good.'

Disney Star Cameron Boyce Honors His Grandmother's Connection to 'The Clinton 12' for Black History Month: 'She Has Chosen to Forgive, but Not Forget'
"She has chosen to forgive, not forget, and she learned from it and has just grown from her experiences," Cameron Boyce says about his grandmother Jo Ann Boyce
Teen star Cameron Boyce's latest role involved no acting at all.
Disney XD and Disney Channel's new Be Inspired short-film series, commemorating Black History Month, is now airing and features the incredible story of Cameron's grandmother, Jo Ann Boyce, who was one of "The Clinton 12."
The U.S. Supreme Court's 1954 ruling in Brown v. Board of Education ordered Clinton High School in Clinton, Tennessee, to desegregate. Two years later – in the fall of 1956 – 12 black teenagers, who became known as "The Clinton 12," attended the first integrated public high school in the South. Before that, Jo Ann and her friends were told to go to school 20 miles away from their home.
"My Nana stuck up for what she believed in and did something amazing," the Descendants star, 16, tells PEOPLE. "Things are going to happen in your life and you're going to face adversity, but if you grow from that and learn from that, you're a better person because of it."
Jo Ann was just 14 years old when she and 11 of her friends courageously walked the hallways of Clinton despite intense backlash from a lot of white residents. In 1958, the school was severely damaged by dynamite explosions, which people assumed were related to the school s desegregation.
Cameras followed Jo Ann, Cameron, his sister and parents to the 12 life-size sculptures of the students in the Green McAdoo Cultural Center in Clinton, Tennessee.
"It was overwhelming. It was emotional," Jo Ann, 74, tells PEOPLE about the experience of going back to Clinton with her family. "I could go back and remember the days that me and my friends walked down that hill together."
"All of us, all of our parents, every single student that walked down the hill with me, all of our parents wanted us to do better, she says. "They wanted us to have better opportunities, so therefore education was number one for them. They told us, 'It may be difficult but you guys go ahead. We are with you.' "
Since the series was released on Feb. 1 (it's now also airing on ABC), Jo Ann says the response has been "overwhelming positive."
"One woman wrote, 'Finally, Finally.' Finally this story that has sort of been hidden in the background is coming out, she says. "I'm hoping that children who are watching will be inspired by this story and will know that things are possible. We just want the world to know that there was a group of young people who were brave enough to face extreme adversity."
Cameron adds, "How could we not bring this up? Giving the Clinton 12 the recognition that they deserve. How could you not be amazed by their bravery?
She has chosen to forgive, not forget, and she learned from it and has just grown from her experiences."

20 March 2018
Many times a day we ask and hear the question, "Are you OK?" but how often do you ask yourself and others, "Are you happy?"
There's a huge difference between being OK and being happy. I don't think we Brits are particularly good at checking in with our happiness levels. We're more in line with 'stiff upper lip' thinking.
Inevitably, we all have down days and we're good at recognising these but what about the good days? Do you remember what triggered a great day? When were you last in a fantastic mood?
When we recognise what drives this positivity, we make it happen more!
Interestingly, just 29% of Brits think that the UK is a happy place to live. The reasons why are all terribly British and certainly raised a smile for me as I read through them. The list includes rudeness, the weather, queues and moaners. Politics was also a popular reason for general unhappiness.
International Happiness Day
Today is International Happiness Day and BBC Radio came into the office to interview myself and some of the team about being happy in the workplace. The interview really got me thinking. It is seen as an unusual thing to promote happiness in the workplace – why is that?
We spend a third of our lives asleep, a third on leisure and a third at work. Why would we not want to make sure that the time we spend at work is filled with fun and happiness too?
It's business owners' responsibility to create a place where people enjoy being for such a huge portion of their lives.
If your job doesn't make you happy, you need to make a change. If you're not happy or passionate about something, you can't be successful at it. It's as simple as that!
So today, when the news is filled with negativity around Russia, Brexit, rhinos and terror, here are some cheerier stories…
- It's the first day of Spring
- A mis-sent text message may have saved a boy's life
- Curious penguins take a selfie video
- You can find inner peace by looking at the nearest dog!

Select Food & Beverage Companies in Maine
Bon Appetit's 2018 Restaurant City of the Year: Portland, Maine
In August 2018, Bon Appetit magazine published an article on its website naming Portland its "2018 Restaurant City of the Year." In May 2019, an article by Devra First, the Boston Globe's restaurant critic and food reporter, suggested 'not to waste a single meal' while in the state's largest city. According to the City Clerk's office, Portland has over 500 food establishments and with 18 breweries, it is on top in the number of breweries per 50,000 population by C+R Research.
Opportunities in Maine
Wild Blueberries
Maine produces between 70 and 100 million pounds (31 – 45 mt) each year, making it the largest producer of wild blueberries in the world. Wild blueberries are smaller but contain twice the antioxidants and eight times the manganese of the bigger varieties.
Maine Lobster
Maine lobster is sustainably harvested and breeds naturally in the cold waters of the Gulf of Maine in the North Atlantic. The state is the U.S.'s leading supplier, typically 80% of of the nation's catch, with 110.8 million pounds (50.3 million kilograms) in 2017.
Other key subsectors – broadly defined as those offering high capacity yield, strong growth potential, specialization, and processing plant opportunities – include:
- Potatoes, frozen fruit, and vegetable-based products
- Beverages including bottled water, as well as specialty alcohol and beer produced by local distilleries and breweries
- Functional foods/nutraceuticals
- Frozen specialty foods and baked goods

It makes us feel worried whenever there is something wrong with our pets as they could not talk and share the things that they want to say due to the fact that they could not speak using our language and they have their own way to communicate with their owners. We are used to seeing our pets to be jolly and have a lot of fun but sometimes, there will be times that they would feel sad or reluctant to play with you because of the feelings that they are feeling or due to the reason that they are sick and they could not express unlike humans who can show signs and symptoms obviously. Dogs and cats may feel hot during the sunny days and cold during the winter seasons, so it is important that when you are planning to have a pet at home, then better to have the heating and cooling Birmingham MI so that they would not carry the burden of being frozen to death due to the very low temperature.
Aside from that you really need to take care of your dogs and give them the necessary attention that they need. It is your obligation to know things about them and be responsible when it comes to the times that they are acting weird or strange and they are doing things that they are not supposed to do.
Your dogs need to drink water the same way like humans need it in order to avoid dehydration and you can keep doing the things that you want during the sunny or hot days of the year. There are times that the pets of yours won't like to drink water but you are noticing them that they are continuously panting, then you should try to wet their tongue or force them to drink some water. Some pet owners are doing some unpleasant things like giving their pets some ice cubes as they are thinking that it will help the dogs to feel better but that is not totally true and helpful as it would shock the whole system and body organs of the dog and it is may cause death as well.
If your dog is outside and staying under the heat of the sun, then you should have the initiative to call them and get them inside of your house or to a place where the sun is not hitting them directly. It is nice if you are living in an airconditioned house as they would easily get better and feel cool after staying here for a few minutes but if you don't have, then a fan would be a good use and alternative here as long as they would feel the cold or cool air. It is nice as well to have a cool type of cloth or towel that you can press to the body of the dog for them to feel nice and wonderful. As a reminder avoid putting ice to the body of the dog.

Food Automation Processing Equipment
As the food industry becomes increasingly automated, food and beverage firms are turning toward industrial-grade processing solutions.
Waunakee, WI , 2018-10-24
Keeping it Clean
Food contamination is a paramount concern to consumers. That's why sanitation and cleanliness in food processing facilities is critical. To maintain clean operations, food equipment requires daily washdowns that includes the gearboxes, motors, and other motion-control machinery. When harsh chemical disinfectants are used, corrosion and eventual failure of that machinery is all too common.
One solution for this problem is to use stainless steel for motor and gearbox enclosures. Although stainless steel is corrosion resistant, it's expensive and heavy. By contrast, aluminum alloys are lighter and far more economical. They're also much better at dissipating heat than stainless steel—which means shorter cool down times before washing.
Unfortunately, aluminum lacks the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Or, at least it did before NORD's NSD TUPH surface conversion came along. Our nsd tupH is an alternative to stainless steel at a fraction of the price. It has been tested for use in the harshest environments and is much lighter in weight for easier mounting and maintenance.
NORD drive systems that power conveyors, mixers, and dispensers have excellent and reliable seals to prevent food contamination that can occur when oils or other materials leak inside of the gearbox. Those seals keep food material and cleaning agents from leaking into the sealed machinery, which can cause premature equipment failure from corrosion. Our sealing technique prevents both the cleanliness and reliability of automated food processing equipment. Our NSD TupH is the best alternative to stainless steel. We have redefined surface protection to help you keep it clean.
NORD Understands That Reliability Means Profitability
Due to the high-volume of food production and processing, an unexpected equipment breakdown can inflict heavy costs. First, there are the immediate costs of lost product on the lines, such as uncapped soda products that could lose carbonation or uncooked batter that has to be baked within a specific time interval for optimal taste and texture. Also, lost value of the product which won't be produced while the equipment is down affects profitability. Finally, the cost of the actual repair or replacement of the failed machinery can be expensive, especially if that equipment is a motor or gearbox, as industrial drive system components typically have a high replacement cost.
Sourcing reliable drive system operations that are corrosion resistant is another challenge. For example, the processing of seafood can expose equipment to direct salt-water splash. The processing of acidic foods can quickly corrode many metals. NORD products offer a better solution than stainless steel or typical surface protectants like paint on rust-prone cast iron.
Large-scale food conveyance, mixing, and agitation create heavy loads on gearboxes, speed reducers, and motors. Drive systems with housings, bearings, gears, and axles expertly designed to handle and mitigate these stresses are just what the food industry needs as it continues the trend of increasing scale and automation. NORD provides a wide range of aluminum and nsd tupH products that can withstand large-scale loads, are reliable, and save you money over time.
Energy Efficiency
Growing automation and scale of food processing facilities bring increasing energy demand. Businesses in this highly competitive industry are turning to higher efficiency drive solutions to keep energy costs from crippling them.
The benefits of higher efficiency motors and gearboxes are two-fold. First, systems that operate in a cooled (refrigerated) environment waste less heat and save on energy costs. Second, more efficient motors have less chance of producing localized heating in a refrigerated area, which could cause food in that area to spoil.
NORD DriveSystems Has The Solution
NORD's high efficiency drive technology has the solution for the food industry. Our products are reliable, tough and more energy efficient to save you time and money.

I've heard that the human body replaces its own cells at such a rate that every seven years we are all, quite literally, completely different beings.
I can believe it. Forget reincarnation – I have come to understand that, during the course of my one short life, I have been several different people.
Not long ago, I was flipping through some old photographs of AIDS activist demonstrations. I was marveling at the otherworldliness of the chicanery – animated, anarchic street theatre – when I came upon a photo of myself at a demonstration.
I could not recall being that person. Oh sure, with a little effort, I could summon the precise coordinates of the place and time. But I could not bring back the temper of the times – the anger, the sense of common purpose and urgency and agency to affect change.
I was bowled over by how disconnected I am from my own past.
I think the gay community has a particular will to forget our history, something akin to a collective repressed memory syndrome. Let's face it – our history's not pretty. It can be depressing to ponder: death, physical and psychological torture and constant battles.
It's psychically burdensome to be always fighting. It's exhausting to be constantly despised and misunderstood and angry. In many ways, we've made big gains in recent years, and I can relate to those of us who want to avoid looking back – to move on and move up.
But our history is also about inspiring transformation. Without it, we lose sight of our potential.
Last year, the Pride committee assisted police in arresting nudists on Pride Day. In our environment of collective amnesia, I can understand the committee's timidity: The tiny group of volunteers felt no choice but to cooperate with a giant municipal institution when it wanted to hold an event in the city.
But with a little historical background, it's a reprehensible development. Toronto Pride celebrations, at least in their current incarnation, began as a resistance to police brutality. Our history shows us that long ago, when we were fewer in numbers and resources and smaller in influence, we fought these same institutions. And we won.
Ditto for the Bijou raids. We could say – and some gay people do – that Bijou patrons were breaking the law and the charges are justified. A little context, please. The role of the police is one of broad social control and not to lay charges for every conceivable offense – otherwise we'd all be in and out of jail, all the time. If we accepted the charges against gay men in 1981 bathhouse raids – and they were technically legitimate charges – we would not have a gay community as we know it today, and Toronto might be a rotten police state.
In our particular era, ignorance of history means we are losing touch with the spirit of gay liberation. The quest for freedom and its associated experimentation and inquisitiveness are being lost to thoughtless acceptance of law and order, and subtler impediments to human fulfillment like shame and conformity.
Answers to basic questions are assumed: Public nudity and public sex are wrong. Laws should always be obeyed and enforced. We should respond to mainstream acceptance with respect for authority.
History says: Oh really?
History is so five minutes ago
Gay liberation has always been about questioning the rules
I've heard that the human body replaces its own cells at such a rate that every seven years we are all, quite literally, completely different beings.

I'm in such a strange situation.
I was born into a homophobic culture, raised to fear the straight society around me. Syria, the land where I was born, is steeped in homophobia, fuelled by Syrian traditional values, laws and the endless preaching of religious clerks.
Together, these elements make the lives of anyone who strays from the straight lines of sexuality and gender a living hell.
Yet, I stand here fighting for the rights of the straight Syrian men who used to terrify me.
When Canada's new Liberal government first announced it would welcome 25,000 Syrian refugees by the end of the year, I rejoiced. I knew that a good percentage of the refugees would likely be lesbian, gay, bisexual or trans. Their arrival here would considerably expand the Syrian gay community in my new home country of Canada.
I dreamt of finding more folks who are like me: people who understand the meaning of being a Syrian refugee coming to a completely different culture, people who speak my language, understand my jokes. I envisioned a future where Syrian gay culture enriches the Canadian mosaic and adds new voices to the gay community in Vancouver, which right now can seem alienating in its overwhelming white-ness.
Then came a new announcement on Nov 24, 2015, naming the groups that will actually be welcomed to Canada. Single mothers, traditional family units and LGBT people made the cut as priorities for the Liberals' refugee resettlement plan. Straight, single men did not.
First I was happy: one step closer to my vision of gay Syrian culture coming to Canada. Then came the realization: the only group of people not prioritized are single, straight, male refugees.
The stereotypically homophobic straight men who used to scare me — who made me hide my sexuality and fear for my life in Syria — are now isolated and rejected from a safe haven, based on their sexuality.
I couldn't help but identify with them. These are people denied basic human rights based on their sexual orientation. The similarity between my situation back in Syria, and their situation now, is striking.
Why were those men denied refuge in Canada? The answer is simple, yet no one seems happy to hear it: The general stereotype of a terrorist is a male, straight, lone Syrian refugee.
This change, of course, follows the horrendous, bloody act of terrorism that shook Paris — an attack perpetrated by neither a Syrian nor a refugee.
Media outlets approached me in the past week to comment on the update to the resettlement plan, volunteering me into a role that I didn't ask to play. I became the spokesperson of the gay Syrian refugee. The expectation was that I would greet the Canadian government's announcement with joy.
I am joyful. I'm bursting with happiness as I hear that more gay folks will find sanctuary in Canada the same way I did.
But I also have to be critical of the world's view of what a terrorist is. I have to be skeptical of what this plan means to the straight Syrian men who equally deserve to escape a war in Syria.
Many young Syrian men have had to escape the country as I did, fearing the Syrian regime would force them into the army and put their lives at risk to do the regime's bidding. Others have fled their homes, forced away from their families, fearing the Islamic State would force them to become soldiers in a terrorist organization.
I support prioritizing the most vulnerable groups in the resettlement plan. I am all for bringing single mothers, LGBT folks and families to Canada to find a new life here.
However, I think that anyone who applies to come to Canada — looking for a bright future away from terrorist organizations, dictatorships and refugee camps — should have the right to come, provided they pass the appropriate screening checks and security measures.
Will these men bring with them the homophobia of home? Possibly. But I would rather stand on the reconciliation side, bridging the gap between them and us, helping them see the right path towards a world without discrimination based on sexual orientation, be it against gay people or straight.

The founder of luxury fragrance brand, Connock London, is next up in our Wonder Woman Wednesday series
Amanda's hard work, coupled with her strong entrepreneurial flare, has inspired her to set up her successful and expanding brand – Connock London.
Connock London exclusively uses natural ingredients in the making of their linen sprays, candles and diffusers. The unique fragrances are ideal for bridal shops looking to scent their boutiques. Shops can then upsell the fragrances to their brides who will be reminded of their special shopping experience every time they use the scent.
The master-mind behind the brand, Amanda, tells us about her fascinating background in business.
With a background in horticulture and biochemistry, my parents Alan and Elizabeth Connock used their 12 years of technical experience in the industry to set up the family business A&E Connock in 1973.
I spent my childhood sampling perfumes, making scented bath salts and creating floral waters in buckets from rose petals and cherry blossoms with my brother and sister. After completing a university degree, I joined the family business where I gained valuable knowledge and experience in sourcing speciality cosmetic ingredients and working with producers from all over the world.
I realised there was an opportunity to create a legacy beyond the family business and to develop products using my experience and family heritage in the world of beauty and fragrance. It was from here that Connock London was born in 2010.
I have three key lessons: Trust your gut instinct, if it does not feel right, don't do it and surround yourself with people you trust and who share your passion. I have also learnt that passion and creativity are essential, however, you will only achieve your goals through hard work.
I am lucky to have lots of inspirational women in my life. My mother is top of the list followed by my sisters and my best friend. Then there's also Tracey Woodward (CEO of Aromatherapy Associates), Nancy Cruickshank (British entrepreneur), Angela Rowley (British entrepreneur) and Charlie McCorry (CEO of Perfect 10 Black Label), who have all helped me to believe in myself and changed my life in different ways.
Making a difference to someone's everyday life through Connock London products gives me the most satisfaction. I received a note recently from a client saying how the Connock London Wonder Balm was the only thing that soothed the very sore eczema around her eyes. In fact, I regularly receive emails from brides thanking me for creating the scent they wore on their wedding day - those moments definitely make it all worth it!
A typical day starts with an early rise at 6am for breakfast with my son Harry, daughter Ava and husband James. E-mails are always flooding in by this point, however, I really try to spend this precious time with my family and not looking at my phone. I arrive at the office in the New Forest for 8.30am and immediately check my e-mails and calendar to prepare for any meetings with the team or externally.
My days can vary a lot which I love, however, typically I am working on new product development, speaking to press, meeting with potential retail partners and working on collaborations and partnerships. I try to always be home to collect the children from preschool, bath and bed time and then I work for a few hours in the evening. I try to fit in some exercise too, especially if I have been in the office all day!
We hope that Amanda's entrepreneurial and motivated outlook has inspired you this Wednesday. If you know a Wonder Woman within or external to our industry, then get in touch with Bridal Buyer's Content Assistant, Sophie, at email@example.com.

Flexible English Language Courses For Living
English for Living
Whatever reason you have for wanting to learn English, we can help you.
You may be in the UK on holiday or, perhaps, you are going to stay here or in another English-speaking country for a longer period, even permanently.
You could have an English-speaking partner, and would like to be able to communicate in their language, or you may just be interested for no other reason that you have always been attracted by the people who speak the language and the culture surrounding them.
You might just be looking to communicate, generally, at a basic level or you could be looking specifically to fully interact with English-speaking in-laws.
Whether you are a complete beginner or have some knowledge of English already, we can create a programme that will correspond to your own individual needs and requirements!
Whatever it is, we are here for you!
Please click a title below for further information:
How it works - View / Hide
We visit you (free of charge and obligation) where you are staying, in your home, or wherever you plan to have your classes take place, to discuss your needs. Following an assessment, we can then propose
- a one-to-one or small group class (Ideally of up to 6 participants although we can cater for larger groups)
- weekly, bi-weekly, semi-intensive or intensive classes, ranging from a single 90 minute class each week, through to a number of hours every day over a shorter period
- ad-hoc maintenance sessions if you already have a sufficiently good level
with these taking place either as
- regular classes on the same day/s and at the same time/s
- classes booked ahead on a diary system or week-by-week to suit you (This option can be less easy for participants to administer if it is a group class)
- a combination of the above
Whatever you choose, all are subject to only 24 hours notice of cancellation, so you can even reschedule your class to allow you to attend that short-notice commitment.
We provide individually created and selected course materials free of charge, so all you need to bring is a pen and paper.
Whilst our teachers are dedicated professionals, our office staff are on-hand to help throughout your course with us – we are just an email or telephone call away!
Why it works - View / Hide
We select our teachers carefully to ensure that you get the maximum return upon your time with us. The principle criteria by which they are chosen are good teaching ability and pleasant and positive personality, with both being required.
As all of our teachers are native-speakers, you receive your language classes from a person who speaks the target language as a mother tongue, enabling you to reproduce the language from its original form.
You have the same teacher* throughout your course, allowing you to maintain a good working relationship and ensuring that the teacher has ongoing, first-hand knowledge of your progress at every class. Should you wish to be exposed to different accents and voices, we can arrange for a periodic change of teacher.
* For intensive and, sometimes, semi-intensive courses, two or more teachers work as a team with you, liaising directly with each other before and after classes. This is to ensure that your class is always fresh and dynamic.
What is achieved - View / Hide
Our tailor-made English language courses for living develop to allow you to:
- exchange introductions, talk about yourself and enquire about others
- travel from place to place
- read menus and order food
- develop general vocabulary and that specifically related to your particular situation
- communicate via the telephone
- understand and respond to emails and other documentation
- understand and be understood by tradesmen and officials
- address day-today aspects of life in the UK
- deal with children's schooling
- assimilate British culture

The psychology of taste
What motivates our food and drink choices
At some point during my 25 years of visiting restaurants three or four times weekly at minimum, I developed a fascination with the psychology of taste. I noticed that, while my palate has always been more adventurous than the average, its preferences can shift fairly dramatically for sustained, if usually temporary, periods of times. Often these differences make no sense on the surface.
I'm not part of this, but a prime example culturally is the recent obsession with Mexican Coca-Cola. Because it's sweetened with cane sugar instead of the demonic high-fructose corn syrup, many claim it tastes better. But blind taste tests say just the opposite. The vast majority of Mexican Coke lovers not only can't tell the difference but actually prefer the American variety. What seems to matter is the heavy glass bottle itself — its "mouth feel." Ignore the phallic shape and generalize the experience to the breast or the baby bottle, if you will. It's yo mama.
I'm not quite so Freudian. But cultural bias — the fashionable — is definitely an important factor in the development of taste. The Coke bottle is an icon of culture-wide nostalgia. It's a psychological antidote to the utter chaos and alienation into which our society has fallen.
Don't for a moment think psychological desire isn't exploited — if not created — by the Coca-Cola Company itself. Coke has long been represented as "the pause that refreshes" and a social invitation to "meet me at the soda fountain." Indeed, "I'd like to buy the world a Coke" to bring about "perfect harmony." Who could resist such magic? No wonder the company is increasingly distributing supercalifragilistic "Mexican Coke" in the USA, knowing fully well it tastes no different.
Comfort is a fantasy of memory and explains most personal taste. For nearly a year now, I've been dining with friends every Friday night. The idea, at least originally, was to get them out of their comfort zone. This was after dining at one of their regular spots — Longhorn, which shocked me with its sheer blandness, relatively high cost, and insipid décor.
Sure enough, they tell me its familiarity and comfort make the place attractive. Bobby, who grew up in the Midwest, generally doesn't like fish in any form, and thus steak and pork are his default choices. (To my great irritation, he was grossed out by my fabulous fried sardines at One Eared Stag.) More generally, Longhorn's decor — the cowboy kitsch of childhood memory — undoubtedly enhances its appeal to the general public.
My friends, all gay, also eat a lot at Roxx. The food is secondary to the comfort of the almost exclusively gay crowd, although Ryan says he always orders a good steak there, too. Culturally, steak remains the definition of luxury.
An example of (abortive) preference for the familiar occurred at Chateau de Saigon, a Vietnamese restaurant. It annoyed the hell out of me that all but one friend ordered from the Chinese section of the menu. Of course, Chinese food prepared by Vietnamese is a far cry from Chinese-American crap, but it was a mentally safer choice for them. Believe me, they sacrificed taste for mild familiarity.
Researchers in part blame the reluctance to depart from the usual on the very natural "aversion response," by which animals avoid the possibly poisonous. A child, for example, may have a naturally aversive response to a somewhat bitter food like Brussels sprouts. The vegetable's widespread hatred — cultural bias — reinforces aversion. Typically, hatred persists until experimentation reveals that slight bitterness no longer instantly repulses and that current recipes taste nothing like the stuff poured out of boil-in-bags.
But the taste-traumatizing memory can also be unrelated to the actual food. A dish eaten while one is seriously ill can become permanently repugnant. Food eaten during great sorrow might also be avoided. And food forced on a child rarely becomes attractive. The effects can be undone but not without effort and education.
Texture also plays a role in aversion. Ryan, the son of German immigrants, is probably the most adventurous eater besides me at our table. But he detests Indian food. Thus his least favorite restaurant we visited was Thali. Why did he hate it? "Because everything tasted like it was dumped in a blender," he said. That produces a texture he calls "gluggy," something like that of gravy once it's become slightly congealed. Likewise, I tend to balk at slimy textures.
Thali was a big problem, too, for others, because of the "hot" spices, which utterly eluded me. This too is an aversion response that many Americans, until recently, weren't interested in reversing. But I've watched my friends frequently express surprise that other supposedly hot cuisines aren't nearly as troublesome as they expected.
Given all of this, it's not surprising that their favorite restaurants have been JCT, No. 246, Cakes & Ale, and Serpas. These are all restaurants I like very much, too. My friends repeatedly rave about the "angry mussels" at JCT, which, interestingly, had a strong serrano zing. But generally these restaurants riff on American classics made with local produce — somewhat experimental comfort food by definition. Dessert-wise a good example of riffed comfort flavors is the salted caramel Ryan loves. And, of course, everyone on the planet must have bacon.
A final aspect of taste that I find fascinating relates to the so-called theory of compensation. (Philosopher Alain de Botton proposes something like this related to visual design.) In this, one's internal state seeks its opposite in the external world. Obviously, anxiety and stress could be behind the taste for comfort food or minimalist dishes. Or the feeling of poverty can make one crave the extravagantly plated or gimmicky (i.e., kitschy), no matter the quality of ingredients. Compensation, perhaps, explains my shifts — and the culture's shifts — in what tastes good or bad from time to time. But who knew the taste for faux Mexican food would extend to Coca-Cola, too?

An enthralling travelogue with a political background
Peace and affluence in Europe can no longer be taken for granted, and the importance of the West as a geopolitical power and point of reference is rapidly shrinking.
Andrea Böhm leaves all certainties behind her and travels to those places beyond the Western world order that might shape the future for all of us. Her re-exploration of the world begins in Venice, the home of Fra Mauro, mapmaker and monk. From there, she moves on to the Mogadishu, Harare and Hargeisa, to Guangzhou (formerly Canton), then on to Baghdad and Basra and finally to the eastern Mediterranean. The common denominator of all the places visited is that the people there are creating their own new world order; they have developed new forms of living together, of survival and running their economy.
Andrea Böhm's gripping reports allow us to see into a world that for most of us will remain hidden forever, even if we have begun to clearly realise that the safety and certainties we have in the West can be over at any time.

my insides
are all torn
to bits
a bloody battlefield
that used to be
my heart
or is that too
the mess of me
in ribbons
& curls
because my voice cannot be heard by the one i have tried & tried to talk to, i have started a work of fiction writing–no pictures. it is still forming in my head, but i have written the first paragraph. loosely based on the abusive relationship i am recovering from. i want to share it with people who might understand. also, i need to get it out of my head…and like i said, the person who needs to hear it the most, just won't listen to it.
also, friendly reminder, there is a link up over yonder (with my pretty face on it) to other fiction pieces i have written & posted on medium.
