The Marginal Child throughout the Life Cycle: Evidence from Early Law Variation
Elizabeth O. Ananat, Duke University
Joanna Lahey, Texas A&M University
Do "wanted" children live longer? Our paper examines this question, motivated by recent research on the post-Roe vs. Wade "marginal child" as well as by the Barker hypothesis, which states that early insults to health (in the womb and the perinatal period) reduce life expectancy in adulthood. We test whether wanted children live longer by using legal changes in 19th century birth control and abortion laws. We first demonstrate that limiting access to birth control and abortion increased female fertility in the 19th century. Next, we demonstrate that these laws are not related to other things that might predict either fertility or child longevity. Finally, we use this exogenous variation in the population of marginal (plausibly unwanted) children to demonstrate that, consistent with both the Barker and marginal child hypotheses, children born to women less able to restrict their fertility are less likely to survive through their 60s and 70s.

Why do we need to know about the soil? I asked, when I was first learning about wine. Because the composition of the soil can determine which grape grows best in the vineyard. The type of soil also helps decide the irrigation method needed in the vineyard. For example limestone, or calcareous soils are somewhat compact. Their origin from the erosion and sedimentation of rivers, these soils are rich in calcium carbonate, and provide excellent […]Continue readingMore Tag

DO Montsant on the Precipice: Vinyes Domènech
As I stand on the path that leads from the tasting room through the vineyard to the edge of a precipice at Vinyes Domènech the Latin phrase in situ comes to mind. Literally, the phrase translates to "on-site." To the archeologist, an artifact in situ is one that he or she unearths and records at the original site of the culture that created it. When discovered not in situ, the artifact is considered out of […]Continue readingMore Tag
Cowboys, Chaps and World Class Chardonnay
What do you pair with a $79 Chardonnay? I asked, Joe, who does nearly all of the cooking for us here at Another Wine Blog? Fish Stew, he says. Now I am not a big fan of stew, fish or otherwise. It is probably a completely irrational bias from my childhood. Stew was what you had when you either did not have anything in the house to make a proper meal, or could not afford […]Continue readingMore Tag

A mortgage is a loan used by a buyer to acquire a home. A mortgage is usually issued for the purchase of a home, but it can also be obtained for home renovation or investment.
A mortgage is essentially a mortgage. The lender grants the loan and uses the apartment as collateral for the loan. The lender thus reserves the right to housing if, for any reason, the debtor fails to fulfill its obligations.
In Finland, mortgages are mainly granted by large commercial banks. Banks provide mortgages to individuals or companies looking to buy an apartment or property.
The characteristics of a home loan, such as loan size, loan length, interest rate, loan repayment method and other characteristics may vary considerably.
For many people, buying a home is not only a dream, but also the biggest and most important purchase decision. Renting a home is a very typical form of living before buying a first home. So why is a mortgage worthwhile?
When you rent, you pay for the apartment to the owner. If, on the other hand, you take out a mortgage and buy your own home, you repay the loan and raise capital for yourself.
In many cases, the monthly cost of housing can also be lower than the rent. If the repayment of the mortgage and the housing fee charged by the housing association are less than the rent, buying a home is an economically viable decision.
Since borrowing is one of the biggest decisions in life, you should plan carefully. There are many different, many aspects of home loans that you should be aware of.
In principle, most retail customers can get a home loan as long as the income level is high enough and there is no major disruption in credit information. Banks pay attention to how well the borrower has handled their finances in the past.
Banks are most sympathetic to customers who have a stable and ongoing employment relationship. However, this is not always a prerequisite for a loan if the assets and solvency are otherwise demonstrable.
Because the bank always makes a loan decision on a case-by-case basis, it is a good idea to prepare your loan negotiations carefully. Often the lender wants detailed information about the applicant's finances.
It is a good idea to reserve information on your income, assets and liabilities for the conference. Your bank will also check your credit information, so if you have any notes, you should be prepared to find out. Often, small debts that are a few years old are not a barrier to getting a loan.
Whenever you apply for a mortgage, the financier wants to know the applicant's current obligations. So, when you collect information on your existing loans, it is easier for your bank to make a valuation.
The bank is also interested in the applicant's funds. For example, if you own a portion of a property, summer home or plot of land, this can have a positive effect on your loan application. Equity holdings and securities holdings are also worth exploring.
Loan Negotiation Checklist, What to Include?
You must go through the loan negotiations before making a home offer. This allows the bank to make a loan commitment, a decision about how much they are willing to finance your purchase. The loan promise does not obligate you to take out a loan yet.
In general, the bank requires about 10-20% self-financing. So if you want to buy a home that costs € 200,000, you should have at least € 20,000 in cash or assets. Often banks have a handy mortgage calculator that makes it easy to rotate numbers. If the amount in question is not yet in your account, your bank may require you to save some time.
Like other loans, the mortgage is also paid interest. The interest rate is determined by the lender and tied to the loan amount. Mortgages granted in Finland and elsewhere in Europe are tied to a general interest rate, such as Good Finance. Good Finance is the common reference rate for the euro countries, on the basis of which banks lend money to each other.
The mortgage borrower becomes familiar with the Good Finance interest rate and is usually used as a reference rate when borrowing. Often a loan is linked to a 12-month Good Finance, but one, three or six month interest rates can also be used, which means that the interest rate of the loan is reviewed more frequently.
In addition to the Good Finance rate, the bank adds its own margin to the interest rate. This varies from customer to customer. Banks determine the level of risk for each customer and each item, and charge a loan margin based on these.
So the mortgage rate always depends on your personal situation and your finances. When considering a mortgage, it is advisable to calculate the costs accurately, for example, using a loan calculator.
The mortgage interest rate is either floating or fixed. The interest rate on a floating rate mortgage consists of a marginal rate and a reference rate. The interest rate on a fixed rate mortgage, on turn, is fixed and does not change over time. Next, we'll tell you more about the floating rate mortgage rate, starting with the loan margin.

I'd like to offer my tenants in a 3-story apartment building with paid wifi service(monthly flat fee). There are 10 rooms on each floor. The law in my country requires an authentication server to keep a 90-day log. I already have a 6Mbps ADSL wired connection in my home (located right next to the apartment building) and plan to upgrade it to the maximum speed my ISP can offer. Could someone please recommend a plan which include a list of hardware and software required and how to go about setting it up.
The following is just my opinion so don't get me wrong and take this personally......
Why would you bother?
I doubt you can charge enough to make it worth your time to expend the money necessary to buy all the equipment as well as configuring and deploying it. Even if you know how to configure and deploy the equipment it's still going to take a significant amount of time. If you don't know how, then you have to hire someone to do it for you and that's not cheap.
Then there's the day-to-day upkeep and administration. There's also those 4:00 am calls from tenants going, "My internet isn't working, fix it" and you have to get out of bed right then and there and get it fixed since they're paying you for it.
It's a whole basket of worms I personally would not consider opening if they (the tenants) can just as easily pay for their own internet. If they do it, then they, and their ISP, a're responsible for everything and you can sleep all night through, every night.
As a person who know about these things, I also wouldn't want wireless. Were I your tenant, I'd say, "No thank you, wireless sucks, I'll pay for my own internet so I'm not stuck using wimpy wireless"
Truthfully, you're trying to turn yourself into an ISP, ergo the requirement for logging, and you're trying to reinvent the wheel. In order to recoup the cost, you'd have to charge so much your tenants will also say, "No thank you" to your service since they'll likely be able to get it much cheaper from an ISP.........likely the same one you use now.
It matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate;
I am the captain of my soul.
***William Henley***
Thank you for responding. I appreciate your advice. However, the situation regarding apartment rental in my country is a bit different than those in the States. Here, a typical apartment does not have in-room phone line hook up and even if there's one it would be something like in the hotel where all lines are connected to a single switch. So, most apartment buildings here offer some sort of internet service to their tenants and it's considered a competitive disadvantage not to have one. Plus, a typical lease agreement usually runs for 3 months so installation of a new phone service by tenants is very rare. In summary, there are more reasons for me to offer my tenants some sort of internet connection than otherwise.

I am not sure if it still true today that the Batangas adobo is cooked this way. In fact I have to modify the recipe to adjust to my cooking preference. This version of adobo do not use soy sauce, annatto or atsuete is used instead. The recipe call for beef meat, heart and liver, and pork meat. Below is a copy of the original recipe taken from the book. I would like to give credits to the book author Nora Daza and publishers, National Book Store, if you are interested of having that book go visit any of their branch.
1/2 kilo beef, cut into large cubes
200 gram beef heart, cut into large cubes
100 gm beef liver, cut into large cubes
1/2 kilo pork, cut into large cubes
1/2 cup white vinegar
1 head garlic, crushed
1 tbsp. salt
1/2 tsp. peppercorns
2-3 pieces bay leaves
2 tsp annatto, atsuete powder
cooking oil
In a sauce pan put in the beef meat and hearth, pour enough water up to 1" above the meat. Add in the vinegar, half of the garlic, bay leaves, salt and peppercorns. Bring to a boil and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, add more water as necessary. Add in the pork, beef liver and annatto powder diluted in 1/2 cup of water, simmer for another 20 to 30 minutes or until tender, again add more water as necessary. Remove the meat from the pan and let drain, reserved the liquid, keep aside. In a frying pan heat generous amount of cooking oil, fry the remaining garlic until fragrant, remove from the frying pan and keep aside. On the same frying pan fry the meat including the heart and liver in batches until all side are seared. When done return the fried meats and garlic to the sauce pan and continue to simmer until the remaining liquid has turned to oily sauce, correct saltiness as required. Serve with a lot of rice.

Starting his day through a cloud of smoke and a pint of strawberry milk, Phaze begins to write his inconceivable lyrics through glazed eyes. His flowing rhymes lacing the creamy beats showing off his unparalleled talent.
Today we put focus on lyrical genius Phaze. Best known as the front man of the Piff Gang, a renowned 10-man rap group from London. This assembly of talent have been one of the most talked about hip-hop collectives of 2014, and we wanted to share Verena Stefanie Grotto's exclusive series with the songwriter and soul of the group.
Having come together just over 2 years ago; the collective have already revolutionized UK hip-hop. Modernizing it with their recognisable thick torpid sound and languid stream of lyrics, instantly differentiating them from anyone before. Their most well-known track 'middle finger' - released in late 2013 - started out as Phaze's solo piece, but further developed into a Piff Gang track, with an amalgamation of the members unique talents transforming it into their biggest hit yet.
Verena and Phaze have worked together on numerous occasions, and she is certainly no stranger to working with rap artists and musicians. She has the amazing ability to capture their spirit in a natural and beautiful manner. Styled by Zoe Stevan, in fellow rap artists, Pharrell Williams label, Billionaires Boys Club, he looks relaxed going about his daily routine. Whether he's in a quirky pizza shirt or eating his fruit loops in a camouflaged hoody- he looks effortless.
Now frontman Phaze is working on some solo tracks, soon to be released to the world, 'Now I'm in the game on the ball', he's ready to step out and show of his talent. You can't distort the dream.

Barren, Mitchell D., 2nd Lieutenant
4th Fleet, 4th Fleet Security Forces (FSF)
Dear Dad,
FleetCom eventually gave in to authorizing an air strike on the GFI position. They took their time coming to that conclusions and while they were waiting, there were several more casualties, including a member of my team. He is going to live, but his time working recon and being on special assignment are over.
It infuriates me that he was wounded during an operation that I strongly opposed. I followed orders, but I did not do so without first trying my best to convince my chain of command that it was unlikely that my team could get that close to the installation without being spotted.
They wanted us to spot for an artillery strike. Given the location, I advised that an artillery strike would be wise, but then they informed me that they wanted to do pinpoint artillery strikes in an effort to preserve as much of the installation as possible. It went beyond grasping at straws but the officer in command refused to listen.
The problem is the location of the installation. It is in a valley and much of it was underground. There wasn't much on the actual service to target with any kind of pinpoint accuracy and to approach it from any direction on foot in a way that would provide a good line of sight was basically suicide.
The reason none of our ground attacks have been successful is the position is very easily defended and doesn't require much. We made our approach as cautiously and carefully as possible but that wasn't enough. Before we got within 600 meters of the GFI position, we came under heavy fire and my point man was struck.
We never made it closer than that. The incoming fire that followed intensified and we had to pull him clear. We managed to get him back to cover before we called for a medevac and they took over from there. It was a complete waste of time and now my team is a man down.
After that incident, I pulled some of the commanders aside and was finally able to convince them that there wasn't going to be any reasonable strategy for preserving this installation. An air strike was called and our aircraft leveled everything within the valley. There was no further resistance after that.
My man was in critical condition for a few hours but they managed to stabilize him in time to ensure that he will likely make a full recovery. It won't be anytime soon, but he will eventually be able to return to active duty.
We are currently wrapping up on this world but things are going to be difficult from here on. My team will continue operating but one member less. We are en route back to Outpost 86 for another refuel and refit. I also demanded that my team get a little bit of downtime.
I am planning on spending some time with Russell but I would also like a chance to see my lady friend again. We haven't had much opportunity the last few times I was back there due to the current operational tempo but hopefully I will be able to see her this time around.
Command asked if I wanted to pull another member from the outpost to replace my down team member but I rejected the offer. We had a good thing going and I feel like it would be smarter to not add new blood into the mix. We have trained and served together as a team for the last several months and I don't want to jeopardize our cohesion by adding someone new into the mix.
Do you think I am making the right call with that one? I could use some advice. I feel like it is the smart choice and I am concerned that adding someone new, regardless of how well trained or experienced, would alter the flow and connection that my team currently has. I am trying to make the decision from a leadership standpoint but as a member of the team, I know how I would feel about adding a new member.
I will write again when we touch down at the Outpost. Take care. I miss you all dearly.

The paradigm shift in surgical education is from time-based training (e.g., 5 years of surgical residency, and then graduate with a subjective agreement by experts of the surgeon's basic training) to the new objective, criterion-, or proficiency-based training. The earlier model of mentoring (supplemented by knowledge acquisition and testing: lectures followed by written tests) resulted in a subjective assessment of performance, especially of technical procedural skills. The 1980s and 1990s saw the emergence of clinical problem-based learning, standardized patients for the Objective Structured Clinical Exam (OSCE), and the Objective Structured Assessment of Technical Skills (OSATS) [6] and McGill Inanimate System for Training and Evaluation of Laparoscopic Skills (MISTELS) [7]. Along with the recent validation studies on virtual reality surgical simulators such as the Minimally Invasive Surgical Training - Virtual Reality (MIST-VR) [8], a new benchmark in surgical training has been set: objective assessment based upon expert-derived criterion for proficiency. This is the paradigm shift. Following the lead of the Royal Colleges of Surgeons in establishing standardized curriculum in basic skills in training and evaluation, the American Council of Graduate Medical Education and the American Board of Medical Specialties in the United States have added the dimension of an increased rigor by defining the components of competency to be achieved through such structured curricula with objective performance metrics. Although still in transition, the training of a surgeon is on a path of objectively documented acquisition of skills to a predefined level of proficiency in formal laboratory setting (rather than on patients), complimented with continuous evaluation during training and throughout the clinical career.
To the practicing surgeon, the phrase life-long learning takes on greater significance—no longer is it exclusively a professional obligation internalized in every surgeon when the Hippocratic Oath is taken; it is now a regulation that will be continuously monitored and evaluated. It is necessary to adapt to this new environment of mandatory training for any (new) procedures, of continuous learning with assessment, and of auditing surgical practice performance for acceptable outcomes. Failure to adapt will result in loss of surgical practice privileges.

After 7 Years, This Indian Short Film Has Been Selected For World's Oldest Running Short Film Festival
Short films have seen an unprecedented rise in popularity over the last few years. With a wider audience to reach, we've seen more mainstream short-films coming from bigger production houses.
Rammat-Gammat is one such short-film.
Rammat-Gammat is a simple tale of friendship with complex characters.
It is a story of two small boys in rural Gujarat – a rich boy from upper caste and a poor boy from the lower caste whose friendship is stretched to the breaking point when one of them is gifted a pair of golden yellow football studs, which will take him away from his friend and out of the village.
The 18 minutes narrative short film introduces two young boys, Shivam Math and Yash Patel in the lead roles. First time actors, both the boys from Gujarat are passionate and excellent football players, representing their cities at the state level. The film also features Swati Das (Hindi Medium, Bombay Talkies) in a significant role.
Oberhausen is known as world's oldest running short film festival and "short film mecca" for the sheer reputation among the filmmakers and industry for its bold and high quality short films and a thriving short film market.
Oberhausen is credited to discover the works of some of legendary filmmakers like Wim Wenders, Roman Polanski, Martin Scorsese, Werner Herzog, Andrea Arnold to name a few.

National Lottery operator Camelot has handed Revolver

three agencies.
It is understood Camelot favoured a smaller agency for the
This is the first time the company has taken on a nationwide consumer
shop since parting company with MacLaurin in June 2000.
The appointment is seen by industry insiders as an attempt to improve
coverage of jackpot wins, having seen favourable coverage of payouts
become dwarfed by adverse comment on payments to the firm's directors.
The most recent controversy focused on board members receiving £3.7m in pay rises despite sales falling 2.1 per cent in the past
Revolver joint MDs Martin Ballantine and Simon Hesketh lead the account,
reporting to Jacquie Wilson, head of consumer PR at Watford-based
The agency will focus on strategic planning of campaigns looking to
promote the group's full range of games, including The National Lottery
itself, as well as the Thunderball and Lottery Extra draws, and the
array of Instant scratchcards.
The six-strong Revolver team will work alongside Camelot's in-house PR
team as well as its retained regional agency Harrison Cowley.
The operator continues to work with HC, which handles regional
promotional activity through offices nationwide, and has supported
Camelot since the inception of the National Lottery in 1994.
Camelot was awarded a renewed licence to operate the lottery after
successfully taking the Lottery Commission to the High Court to review
its decision to exclude Camelot from the bidding process in favour of

The budget low-fare-high-fee airline Ryanair has hit out at a new aviation tax proposal from the Dutch government.
The airline headed by the aggressive Michael O'Leary, which claims to be Europe's greenest, cleanest airline, condemned the Dutch Government's proposed National Aviation Tax, scheduled for a possible introduction during 2021. The levy applies to passengers on direct flights to the Netherlands.
The tax exempts transfer passengers at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, which is the home base of KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. Ryanair fire the assertion that the exemption is a form of state aid to the airline. The budget carrier didn't stop there, it further attacked KLM claiming that it operated older, half empty, less fuel-efficient aircraft than Ryanair and "the new tax rewards KLM's environmental inefficiency!" In typical Ryanair fashion, the truth isn't something they always use in communicating with passengers, KLM's load Factor for April was 90.1% which, is less than 6% below Ryanair's reported load factor for April, not exactly half empty by any interpretation.
But Ryanair doesn't just condemn KLM or the Dutch government, it also criticises anyone who doesn't fly with them and chooses to fly with KLM instead, asserting they are "environmentally inefficient.".
Ryanair's Kenny Jacobs said: "This Dutch Aviation Tax has nothing to do with the environment, it's just another state subsidy to KLM. If the Dutch Government are serious about the environment then it should apply environmental taxes to the biggest polluter which is those passengers taking 2 connecting flights at Schiphol on older aircraft, and instead, levy lower taxes on environmentally efficient airlines carrying passengers on direct flights on newer aircraft to/from the Netherlands".

Old-Fashioned Wedding Etiquette We Thankfully Don't Do Anymore
As Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's wedding approaches, guests are probably brushing off their top hats and rehearsing which fork goes with which course, in case they accidentally hit the Queen with an oyster. But while the etiquette of a British royal wedding is traditional and often spectacularly strict — guests are not allowed to speak to the Queen unless she speaks to them, or offer to shake her hand — other aspects of wedding etiquette from the past have thankfully fallen by the wayside. For us non-royals, what you're supposed to do at a wedding can be murky territory, but it's nothing compared to bonkers old-fashioned wedding etiquette that, blessedly, is no longer a thing.
Of course, Meghan and Harry have the added etiquette challenge of being nice to the paparazzi while also keeping out curious intruders. According to Mrs. Desmond Humphreys, writing about etiquette in New York in 1910, public fervor around celebrity weddings is nothing new. One wedding on Fifth Avenue, she wrote, drew record crowds of thousands, "all seething, struggling, fighting, shrieking, under the pouring rain, and crowding the muddy street in order to see — what? A commonplace young man and woman get in and out of a motor car." Perhaps that bit of history will comfort Meghan and Harry as they wave at the crowds — but they'll probably also be grateful that they don't have to stop eating the delicious wedding cake for fear of looking "sexually improper." Here are six pieces of wedding etiquette you won't believe used to happen.
1. Nobody Can Talk To The Bride Until Her Parents Do
Florence Hartley's Lady's Book Of Etiquette from 1872 has all kinds of Victorian-era rules and regulations about the proper behavior of wedding guests, brides and grooms; bridesmaids, for instance, aren't allowed to wear orange flowers, according to Hartley, for reasons that aren't ever made clear. But one of her edicts is pretty remarkable: "After the ceremony is over," she says, "the parents of the bride speak to her first; then her near relatives, and not until then the other members of the company."
It's possible that the groom is now a "near relative," but Hartley doesn't really make that clear; it's entirely possible that, in proper etiquette, he's too busy lighting cigars with his Victorian male friends to talk to his new wife at all.
2. Engaged People Have To Pretend They're Just Friends
Cecil Hartley, who, astonishingly, appears not to be related to Florence, published The Gentleman's Book Of Etiquette and Manual of Politeness in Boston in 1873, and he doesn't seem to have a good opinion of women in any area of wedding etiquette. When it comes to paying for things, for instance, he recommends that the bride "should endeavor to understand what is going on." He also has some ideas about how engaged couples should behave in public, and they're not much fun.
"The devotions of two engaged persons," he says, "should be reserved for the tete-a-tete, and women are generally at fault when it is otherwise. They like to exhibit their conquest; they cannot dispense with attentions; they forget that the demonstration of any peculiar condition of things in society must make someone uncomfortable; the young lady is uncomfortable because she is not equally happy; the young man detests what he calls nonsense; the old think there is a time for such things." He adds, "True feeling, and a lady-like consideration for others, are a point in which the present generation essentially fails."
3. Brides Can't Eat Too Much Or They'll Look "Loose"
Want to get your relatives tutting at your 19th century wedding? Be ethusiastic about the meal in front of you after the exhausting business of getting married. While weddings in the 1800s had a lot of oddities, they were particularly peculiar about food.
Historian Claire Stewart, in As Long As We Both Shall Eat, explains, "A display of appetite by women... was considered an indication of loose sexuality, with food consumption linked to a lack of control." Obviously, this is bullsh*t, but so were many of the common mores of the 19th century.
4.You Get A Glove! And You Get A Glove! Everybody Get A Glove!
An anonymous handbook of etiquette published in London in the 1870s has a lot of gems about proper fashionable weddings and how to behave yourself at one. But it's in its judgement of past trends that it gets really interesting. According to the author, the groom "must wear white kid gloves" to the altar, as must the bride. But, it adds, that's where it stops; "the bride may send white gloves to the bridesmaids, but etiquette no longer requires that gloves should be given to all the guests."
By "all the guests" the author really does mean everybody, from groomsmen to all the relatives and acquaintances who show up to gawk at the new couple. Considering that kid gloves were not cheap, this sort of wedding favor likely got expensive really fast, hence why this tradition had been done away with by the time this book came out.
5. Super-Stringent Veil Rules
At weddings these days, the bride wears the veil (or goes without), and nobody else does. Seems easy, right? In the 19th century things weren't quite that simple. Dunbar's Complete Handbook of Etiquette, from 1834, was a classic of the time, and according to Dunbar veil etiquette was a thing.
The bride herself, Dunbar noted, had to wear either a "long veil of white tulle reaching to the feet" or one "of costliest lace." Not only that, bridesmaids had to wear them too. But there were restrictions. Veils were only for the young; "widows and ladies of middle age," the book notes, "are married in bonnets," and there's no choice about that either way.
6. Being Just Married Is A Secret
This gem comes from Clara de Chatelain's Bridal Etiquette of 1856, but it's echoed in numerous other conduct books: telling anybody you just got married is a faux pas on the same level as anyone but the bride wearing white. At the time, wedded couples generally left immediately after the wedding for their "wedding tour" or honeymoon, so the bride would change during the reception. And then, Chatelain says, they should stop talking about it altogether.
"Good taste points out that all bridal attributes should now be entirely discarded," de Chatelain intones. "We cannot imagine what gratification a young couple — really fond of each other — can derive from proclaiming to the inhabitants of the towns they pass through [...] that they have pledged their vows the same morning. If, however, this kind of notoriety be pleasing to them, by all means, et them set all the little boys in the street hurrahing in a shrill key, and all the chambermaids peeping through the windows," she snorts. She also notes that hiring "the white satin bridal chamber" at a hotel is "vulgar," so keep that one under your hat, too.

Congratulations to Bronwen and Tom who got married last weekend.
It was a great day at a beautiful venue in the Gower.
There were big beautiful smiles all Day.!
What a WoW day!!
Bronwen Morgan has gained a post graduate qualification in General Dental practice. (MJDS), but more importantly she has now become a mum to Jack and is marrying her long term partner Tom in the summer
Cerys Davies has recently joined the practice , shortly after which she got married, there must be something in the water!! Cerys has also recently obtained a post graduate qualification of MJDS, she is planning to share some of her skills by spending time later in the year in Ghana, offering dental care to those who need it.
Warren Davies , not to be outdone ,has earned a Masters degree in Dental implantology, one of the first dentists in Wales to have achieved this level of qualification in this area of dentistry.
Recent legislation has characterized tooth whitening a form of 'dental treatment' and therefore should be carried out by a dental health care professional.
This is only available to people over 18 years old. This is a very easy procedure and safe when used in conjunction with well-fitting dental mouth guard made by your dentist.
Some people have sensitivity with this procedure but can easily be managed with commonly found sensitive tooth pastes. Ask my staff about our 20% discounts on our tooth whitening rates.!!
I would like to wish Cerys the best of luck as she is going to Ghana to help a group of dental professionals set up a charity dental clinic. She's giving up her holiday for this! Sounds like hard work!Apparently there is 1 dentist for 20,000 people . Big problem!
Cancer awareness-
This is very much part of your oral health assessment. Oral cancer has a strong link with smoking and drinking, however Oro-pharyngeal carcinoma in the young is on the increase typically in 25-50 year old healthy nonsmokers! http://www.oralcancerfoundation.org/hpv/hpv-oral-cancer-facts.php
The culprit is a very common virus(HPV 16-18) .Your dentist is aware of this , if you have a persistent ulcer or lump in the neck or mouth which last for over 3 weeks ,please see your dentist who can advise you on the correct procedure. Early diagnosis is very important in the successful cure of this disease.
This virus is very common and many people have been exposed to this virus and have no or very mild symptoms and recover normally.
However there is a significant minority who are susceptible to the viruses inducing genetic change and causing a carcinoma. Your dentist can look out for these changes and if necessary refer you to have treatment and a total cure! This cure is dependent on being diagnosed early so a regular dental checkup can help.
Two of the most common diseases of our time affect our mouths-Dental Decay and Periodontal disease.
Dental decay affects the hard tissues (teeth) in the mouth in most of us,it is caused by sugar in our diet .The more frequently sugar is consumed the more likely you are to develop tooth decay. Sugary drinks are one of the main culprits , this includes ALL fizzy drinks and Isotonic drinks, lucozade PowerAde etc ., Even diet fizzy drinks are bad as they are acidic- as acidic as the car battery acid (pH 2-3)
Healthy drinks are water, tea and coffee without sugar (artificial sweeteners are
ok) milk and sugar free squash. Most of ALL other drinks are bad for our teeth!
Drink sensibly and stop your lower your risk of tooth decay!
Orthodontics in Hywell DDa health authority has changed dramatically over the last 5 years or so.
All teenagers wishing to have NHS funded treatment must fall into a certain category (called IOTN ) http://teethgeek.com/iotn-orthodontics-in-the-nhs/
Once patients have been determined to fall within the NHS eligibility criteria for treatment. ALL patients in Carmarthen and Pembroke will only be offered orthodontic treatment in 1 practice in Carmarthen where there is a 3-4 year waiting time !
I have been carrying out orthodontic treatment for over 20 years and I am able to offer this service immediately at the practice. Unfortunately I am no longer able to offer this on the NHS but am able to offer a monthly payment plan from £110- a month (for 18 months). For more details contact Yvonne .

Council Listing
NMA Councils
"Reach out and touch!"
NMA councils are geographic "collections" of chapters which join together to strengthen their individual operations. A council is designed to be an extension of our individual chapters through which local chapters band together to share experiences, provide officer training, network among their NMA colleagues, and serve as a planning and organization center for the area. The NMA Council Brochure sums it all up succinctly: "Development through interchange and growth through cooperation."
Councils provide opportunities for chapter officers and members to work together with other chapter leaders in their geographic area. Some councils meet every month while others meet every other month or quarterly. Each Council has its own Constitution and Bylaws that governs the operation of the council. Note: Each Council Constitution and Bylaws contains some unique characteristics that are specific to the purpose of the council. An NMA Council's chief function is to provide the tools and enable chapter leaders to provide those opportunities to their members.
Membership in a council requires chapter affiliation unless that council has provisions for individual membership. Some councils do allow individual membership.
If a council does not exist in your area and you are interested in forming a council, contact NMA Headquarters.

Yesterday a new website was launched by care and support
minister Normal Lamb allowing people to compare local adult social
care services.
The Adult Social Care Outcomes site brings together existing
data into one location to allow service users to find out more
about care services in their council area, and compare options.
On the website, individuals can select their local authority, or
type in a postcode, to find out how carers and service users rate
local services. Ratings cover areas including quality of life,
satisfaction with services, and safety.
The site, designed to help people hold their council to account
through rating services, has also been designed to provide people
with the information they need to make informed decisions about the
services they choose - an important part of supporting the up-take
of personal budgets.
Lamb said the Department of Health had worked with the Health
and Social Care Information Centre to launch the search tool.
'We want people to be able to hold their council to account if
it fails to deliver good results from adult social care services,
such as helping people to live independently or giving them genuine
choice and control over their care and support.
'We want everyone to get better care and I hope this website
will help to drive improvement across all local authorities so that
this is a reality.'

Aimee Robinson went to the launch of the new Gered Mankowitz exhibition, The Jimi Hendrix Experience, at White Cloth Gallery …
As a Jimmy Hendrix fan and photography lover I immediately jumped at the chance to review Gered Mankowitz's exhibition 'The Jimmy Hendrix experience' at White Cloth Gallery, and I was not disappointed.
White Cloth Gallery welcomes you in, away from the hustle and bustle of the street, with dim lighting and warmth that creates a homely feel. Naturally, as a student, I was more than happy to be greeted by a bar full of friendly staff, and an excellent menu (although the cocktails weren't quite on level with my student budget).
As I was filming the exhibition for a side project I was a little worried about being allowed to take a camera in, but the gallery, which describes itself as "a pioneering vision to support the artistic community…(and) encourage creativity", is true to its vision, unlike so many other places I've visited. I was greeted by Peter Dench, the gallery's co-creative director who was more than happy to answer any questions I had and gave me a brief, but thorough, overview of the evening.
Mankowitz's pictures were displayed in Gallery Two, a white-bricked space, which amidst the calm of the gallery still paid homage to its urban location. Fairy lights dotted about the place, twisting amongst the standing tables, added an almost magical feel to the event and for me heightened the aesthetics of the evening.
As for Mankowitz's work, personally I found it exciting and edgy, far from what I had expected. The photographer originally shot on black and white film, enhancing many of the pieces with colour in the editing process. This divided opinion – as one budding photographer told me "I love the photos, and the composition is brilliant, but I don't like the added colour on some of the pieces".
Despite this, throughout all of the work one thing is consistent- the capturing of Hendrix's emotion. The photographs show a lot of Hendrix's personality, something that for fans is truly exciting. Mankowitz described it as "looking at the man behind the musician", and I don't think there is a better way of summing it up.
The evening was accompanied by music from the Leeds based band Happy Daggers, a disco influenced rock 'n' soul four piece who livened up the evening. I expected to hear the obvious Hendrix tribute act at the exhibition, but was pleasantly surprised by the band, who managed to set the mood with upbeat music perfect for the occasion.
Aside from the Hendrix exhibition the gallery is also showcasing a unique collection by Slim Aarons in gallery one, which is definitely worth checking out while you're there. His photography is uplifting and summery, which is a wonderful contrast to the not yet spring weather we are experiencing in Leeds at the minute.
Overall I think the exhibition is really worth checking out, whether a fan of photography, Hendrix or just the 60s rock scene in general. The exhibition is running from to March 5th until May 5th and all of the displayed pieces are for sale- with 5% of the cost going towards helping the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

10 How To Make Weight Loss Plan For Your Small Kids – Almost 66% of this U.S. aggregate are overweight. Truth be told, 17 percent are stout, with the rate tripling from 1971 to 2011. Worst of every one of, these people are being presented to an entire host of medical problems that were beforehand very uncommon in this gathering. Who am I discussing? Youngsters, obviously, which is the reason it's so essential to figure out how to get in shape for kids.
Today, one out of five adolescents matured 6– 19 are hefty. And keeping in mind that there are bunches of general wellbeing proposals gliding around about how to best manage this issue — which influences youngsters physically as well as inwardly — there's one remaining over the pack: getting guardians included and figuring out how to get more fit for kids. What's the most ideal approach to do that? Concentrating on guardians, not kids, amid youth heftiness treatment.
It may sound nonsensical. All things considered, if youngsters are the ones with the medical issue, doesn't it bode well to have them go to treatment gatherings? In any case, an ongoing report distributed in the Journal of the American Medical Association Pediatrics found that there was no distinction in weight reduction results when just guardians went to the treatment versus guardians and youngsters together. Having the guardians genuinely is the most ideal route in the trip of how to get more fit for kids.
The Epidemic of Overweight Children
Specialists point to numerous reasons prompting an ascent in youth weight, as natural components, way of life inclinations and social conditions. What's more, however weight is for the most part thought to be the consequence of an excessive number of calories and fat, specialists are presently indicating the high measure of sugar in pop and squeezes, bigger bit sizes, and an abatement in physical action as contributing variables to heftiness.
How is stoutness in kids estimated at any rate? Right now, weight file, or BMI diagram, is utilized to choose if a kid is overweight or fat. Kids with BMIs at or higher than the 85th percentile however beneath the 95th percentile are viewed as overweight; BMIs at or over the 95th percentile are viewed as large.
Any weight going from the fifth percentile to not as much as the 85th percentile is viewed as a typical or solid weight. BMIs are stacked against youth of a similar age and sex, since a tyke's body organization changes a considerable amount as he or she ages.
While utilizing BMI may have some exactness issues, the quantity of kids who aren't at a sound weight is worrisome. What's particularly intriguing about overweight and corpulent youngsters is that it's a generally new marvel. Despite the fact that there have dependably been youngsters who measure more than their associates, it's just over the most recent four decades or with the goal that rates have soar in youngsters.
In the vicinity of 1976 and 1980, for instance, 5 percent of preschool youngsters ages 2– 5 were hefty. By 2007– 2008, that number of large youngsters totaled 10.4 percent. What's more, from 1976– 1980, around 6.5 percent of kids matured 6-11 were large. In 2007– 2008 in any case, that number shot up to 19.6 percent.
The repercussions of youngsters being overweight and large aren't simply high numbers on the scale, obviously. The two conditions realize genuine wellbeing results. These youngsters will probably be overweight or fat as grown-ups, which we know is a hazard factor for cardiovascular and different sicknesses. Indeed, type 2 diabetes, which used to be for all intents and purposes unbelievable in kids, is currently being analyzed at disturbing rates.
Kids who are stout additionally will probably have hypertension and cholesterol, breathing issues like asthma, joint issues, greasy liver sickness, and indigestion.
And afterward, obviously, there are the impacts that rise above the physical. Discouragement and a sentiment of low personal satisfaction are more typical in youngsters who are stout. And youngsters who are fat will probably be tormented more than their normal weight peers, regardless of how great their social aptitudes are.
Step by step instructions to Lose Weight for Kids: Parents Are the Key
It's obvious that helping youngsters who are overweight and stout is a solid choice, and the new examination reveals some insight into a successful method to do that. The inquiry specialists needed to answer was whether there was a distinction in how effective kids were shedding pounds when they went to family-based weight reduction treatment (FBT) as opposed to having simply parent-based treatment, or PBT.
Through the span of a half year, 150 overweight or hefty youngsters ages 8– 12 and their folks partook in the investigation. All through a half year, FBT and PBT sessions were given in 20 one-hour aggregate gatherings and 30-minute social training sessions. The substance conveyed at the two sessions was the same with the exception of that, at a few, the kids were absent.
The principle measure to see whether youngsters' essence had any kind of effect was by estimating their weight reduction at various interims after treatment. The investigation additionally took a gander at different measures, for example, if guardians likewise shed pounds, regardless of whether youngsters and guardians occupied with more physical movement, and if guardians changed the way they encouraged the kids.
In the wake of assessing the families for over two years, it turned out to be evident that youngsters weren't vital at gatherings and still shed pounds if just guardians went to. Auxiliary results, similar to parent weight reduction and physical movement, didn't endure if youngsters were absent either. It appears somewhat odd —wouldn't it bode well that children would lose more weight on the off chance that they were available at the treatment gatherings than if they skipped them?
This examination drives home the way that, with regards to youngsters' wellbeing, guardians are the main thrust behind it. A youthful kid isn't setting up his or her own suppers and perusing nourishment marks, however guardians are (or ought to be!).
So it bodes well that when the guardians were instructed on weight reduction strategies, the youngsters still received the rewards, regardless of whether they were there to get notification from the specialists or not. At the point when guardians set the solid tips in motion, the youngsters shed pounds — thus did the guardians. In this way, in case you're thinking about how to get thinner for kids, it starts with the guardians.
Guardians are the No. 1 apparatus against kids being overweight or hefty. In any case, what would you be able to do to guarantee your children are getting the sustenance they require without scarring them for life all the while? Here are 10 different ways to help your family — in light of the fact that this is a family undertaking! — shed pounds. Take after these 10 hints for how to get in shape for kids.
1. Pick a Food Lifestyle that Works
Nourishment, not work out, is key for weight reduction. Certain eating methodologies can help get more fit and build up adhering to a good diet designs. Obviously, when I say slim down, I simply mean the kind of sustenance and not an insane "eat three seeds per day" eat less carbs. That is on account of we need to worry to kids that eating for wellbeing isn't simply something you do to lose beats on a scale or to look a specific way. It's tied in with filling our bodies and putting forth a valiant effort, not hopping on craze weight control plans for here and now picks up.
The Mediterranean eating routine, which underscores natural products, veggies, sound fats like olive oil, fish and entire grains can be an awesome place to begin. Children are for the most part comfortable with a large portion of these nourishments, however here they become the overwhelming focus. The Mediterranean eating regimen additionally helps watch our bodies against coronary illness and other weight related medical problems like compose 2 diabetes and metabolic complexities.
In the event that gluten is an issue with your tyke, following a without gluten eating routine could be the appropriate response. A special reward of decreasing or taking out gluten in your eating regimen is that it naturally kicks a great deal of undesirable sustenances to the control, for example, refined sugars like white bread and pasta, white and entire grain flours, rice, and that's only the tip of the iceberg.
Be that as it may, as individuals disregard gluten to an ever increasing extent, there are without gluten "low quality nourishments" springing up. In the event that you expect that you'll simply be supplanting one undesirable sustenance with another, Paleo may be a decent choice. A Paleo eating routine spotlights on proteins, vegetables, and sound fats like avocado and coconut oil, while maintaining a strategic distance from grains, dairy, refined sugars and vegetables. While it can feel prohibitive at the outset, a considerable measure of the mystery about "would i be able to eat this?" is taken out.
2. Say Goodbye to Processed Foods and Added Sugars
No doubt, nonetheless, your whole family will see medical advantages when you cut out — or if nothing else cut back — on handled sustenances and additional sugar. You ought to promptly dispose of refined sugars, as these are unfilled calories with zero nourishing worth.
Next, it's an ideal opportunity to begin removing those snacks you thought were solid. Those "low-fat" treats? They're brimming with sugar and other abnormal fixings to give them season. Seasoned yogurts? These are pressed with sugar, regularly in excess of a genuine sweet. Organic product juices? Except if they're 100 percent juice, they regularly have extra nasties included. Premade plate of mixed greens dressings? The fixings list on a portion of those is strangely long!
Your most logical option is to make your own sound treats. That route, you're responsible for what's going into your tyke's body.
3. Cook at Home
This can be a genuine test for occupied families. Between work, school, homework, exercises and plain old life, it can feel like there's simply no opportunity to cook. In any case, this is a standout amongst the most essential things you can do to enable your tyke to get in shape. A home-cooked feast implies youngsters eat something nutritious with the suitable serving size.
Kitchen hacking can help. On the end of the week, you can make a couple of suppers without a moment's delay and serve those consistently. Think stew or soup in a slow cooker, a broiled chicken in the broiler, and a curry on the stove. The soup and curry can be served consistently, while the chicken can be added to a plate of mixed greens, utilized as a part of lettuce wraps or served nearby broiler heated potatoes.
Breakfast for supper is dependably a hit, as well! Cereal sweetened with nectar and crisp natural product makes a pleasant supper, as do pumpkin blueberry hotcakes or eggs mixed with veggies and presented with a cut of entire wheat toast.
4. Go ahead
On the off chance that your youngster appreciates sports, marking him or her up to play after school is a simple method to get your child moving. Shockingly better, getting dynamic with them is an extraordinary method to energize physical movement and hang out. You can go on strolls together, go for a run, do YouTube yoga practices or hit the nearby pool. They'll see that being dynamic doesn't simply mean rec center class or exhausting "activities."
5. Give Kids A chance to quit Eating When They're Full
A large number of us experienced childhood in a period when we were compelled to complete off everything on our plates, regardless of whether we were as yet eager or not. Yet, even children get some distance from drain when they've had enough. Likewise, if your youngster says he or she isn't excessively eager or tops off before completing the process of everything, don't drive him or her to eat more.
6. Get Kids in the Kitchen
Children are significantly more prone to eat something on the off chance that they took part in making it. Make the kitchen a family-accommodating zone. Give your children a chance to wash or hack veggies or do essential cooking undertakings like sautéing onions or bubbling water. Give them a chance to have their say in what formulas the family ought to eat amid the week, and after that have them assist. In the event that you require a few thoughts on what to make together, these sound snacks for children should help.
7. Serve New Foods Several Times
It takes many strives for our palates to adjust to new sustenances. So when you're presenting another fixing, similar to kale or quinoa, don't be disheartened if your kid doesn't care for it instantly. Make the new nourishment a piece of, not the premise of, the whole feast, and let your kid give it a shot. On the off chance that he or she doesn't care for it, don't drive him or her to eat it, however keep serving it. In the end, your child could conceivably come around.
8. Try not to Demonize Foods
You're not going to have the capacity to control each and every thing your child eats. There will be visits to companions' homes, birthday parties and after-school occasions, particularly as they get more established. It's imperative not to make any nutrition type out to be the most noticeably awful thing ever. You don't need youngsters feeling regretful or like they fizzled on the off chance that they have a treat once in a while. Rather, center around having them see how they feel after they eat certain sustenances and understanding that a few nourishments are for unique events or eaten sparingly.
9. Focus on Portion Sizes
Until they're at any rate young people, kids ought to be given "child estimated" partitions. Sound Children has simple to-take after suggestions on the amount of every nutrition class youngsters ought to be served. Obviously, youngsters' needs will shift in view of their movement, sex, and so forth. Begin by serving a littler segment. On the off chance that children are as yet ravenous, they can get a second serving, as opposed to beginning with two servings worth of nourishment.
10. Make It a Family Affair
There's nothing more humiliating than having a tyke eat one supper while every other person eats something else. So make getting in shape and good dieting something the whole family is improving the situation everybody's prosperity. Continue enticing nourishments out of the house. Load the ice chest with washed, cut-up bits of products of the soil. Make adhering to a good diet an ordinary family event, and children will stick to this same pattern!

What if Musaylimah was the Messenger and Muhammad was al-Kadhab, the Great Liar?
Have you ever created a whole universe from a single, pivotal moment? Followed the alternate path that could have happened, branch by branch by branch? Until you found yourself lost somewhere so different to the world that you have always known only to discover that it is somehow inhabited by familiar characters and ideas, foibles, weaknesses and triumphs? It is populated with similar glories and tragedies and by the same love and loss, the same smiles and the same tears?
Welcome then, to the Kingdom of Hindh.
Imagine if you can, that during the Battle of Yamama, Musaylimah had been accepted as the Messenger of the one and only God, whom he came to call Al-Lan, "The One Who is Never". What if Musaylimah had been viewed as the Perfect Man and Muhammad had become known as al-Kadhab, the Great Liar?
What if Khalid ibn Walid, the Drawn Sword of God had been defeated by Musaylimah and then had switched his allegiance to this humble and fearsome magician. What if all Musulman around the world had grown up revering Musaylimah instead of Muhammad? How different would our journey have been? Would it have been richer, more wonderful, more amazing, industrious, evolutionary? How would life have unfolded for Hindh and all its people?
For it was Musaylimah whose insight held him to these words, "...at the time of prayer, one may turn his face to whatever side he chooses, provided it be with this intention: I address myself to thee, who hath neither side nor figure....why should it be permitted to make a Kiblah of a house?"
Why indeed?
The Kingdom of Hindh Tales are an attempt to describe how events transpired after Musaylimah was recognised as the Envoy of The Most Benevolent Al-Lan, the One True God. Some of it is conjecture on the part of the author, some of it is blasphemy, some of it satire, some of it is pure fiction.
And the rest? Well the rest is history.

I've finally reached the age where I can look back and see how far I've come. Both in writing, and in the way I think.
I never understood when writers said they hated looking at old work. My first stories were full of imaginative worlds, and intense characters, and great moments that I cherished reading again and again. Why would I ever not enjoy these moments? Well. That day has finally come. And It's not that I don't enjoy my old stories, it's that everything I was naive or outright wrong about now jumps out at me.
I want to share a few embarrassing examples. Why? Because we all have room to grow, and here's some proof.
A few weeks ago, I read through a novel I had written in my early 20's. I hadn't read any of this story in about 3 years. I found lines of narrative and structures of plot suddenly leaping out in ways I had never intended.
For example, there were several moments when I had been unintentionally racist. The narrative stereotyped a non-white race, both in a positive light and negative. I had added characters as "tropes" instead of "people" and I think I know better now. I think recognizing what I did wrong is a huge step toward doing it right next time. We should all strive to show everyone's humanity first and foremost in characterization.
Another example from the same book is a plot line where a character coerces another to sleep with them. It's dubious consent at the least, and borderline rape if taken at face value, and I was seriously shocked by this scene and the subsequent reactions of other characters. I knew what I was writing six years ago and what it meant. But it comes across completely differently than I intended. Because the reader never sees the victim's POV, the reader only sees the perpetrator feeling victimized at all of the other characters blowing up at them. I don't even think I need to explain why this is all wrong. You definitely will not find me making this sort of mistake today.
My last example is from my upcoming debut, Y Negative. In the early versions of this novel, the main character's injections gave him scars akin to something like a heroin addiction. I did this scientific error intentionally, as I wanted his scars to be symbolic of his will to survive. But early betas pointed out the error, and I realized very quickly that it wasn't conveying what I wanted it to. Wisely, I decided it wasn't worth keeping. That MC has lost the majority of the scars he had in draft one, but that's okay. He didn't need those scars to show his weakness, or his strength. His characterization shows the reader those things.
The moral of the story here is not to be wary of everything you write or anything like that – it's to give your writing some space before you show it to other people, so you can look at it objectively. It's to show it to betas before you try to shop it. And most importantly, strive every day to be better about the way you view the world and the people in it. It's really easy to be unintentionally racist, or unintentionally sexist, or to ignore facts for want of "artistic value". But we should always strive to be better than yesterday. Don't feel bad if you're wrong, or if your point didn't get across. We're all learning together to be better people to each other. I'm thankful that I can look back and see what I did wrong, because it tells me how far I've come.
And it hints at how far I still have to grow.
Thanks for reading.

How to Choose a Treadmill for Walking
How do we choose the best treadmills for walking? Here are a few criteria that we consider. By keeping these points in mind as you shop, you can make a good choice. You can learn more about what to look for by reading any of our treadmill reviews or our treadmill buyers' guide.
As mentioned above, walkers (compared with runners) can generally spend less on a treadmill and still be satisfied. Especially during online sales events you can expect to find a high quality option for $1000 or less. Often you can get a $1000 treadmill for walkers that carries 1 year warranty. Keep in mind that the more motor power you choose though, the more you can also jog or run on the treadmill without straining the machine.
The industry standard for home treadmill motors is 2.0 CHP. All of the treadmills on our "best treadmills for walkers" list above have at least 2.0 CHP, but really this standard is more than sufficient for most walkers. Since horsepower adds to the overall machine cost, walkers with not-so-high fitness budgets can typically get away with treadmills with 2.5 CHP instead. Staying with higher power is a good idea, however, if one of the regular users weighs more than 200 pounds or if the machine will be used heavily.
Once reserved for high-end treadmills, an automated incline is now standard on treadmills in most price classes. In our reviews treadmills with inclines have an advantage because they add variety and challenge to workouts. Walking on an incline, you can burn just as many calories as runners do on a flat track! Incline training also adds a cardio challenge and supports great muscle definition. Included among our best treadmills for walkers is an incline trainer. With a maximum angle of 40% it doubles the max incline of the best traditional treadmills.
Workout programming varies significantly from brand to brand. While some treadmills provide about six workout programs including manual mode, others provide dozens. Additionally some of the best treadmills for sale this year have wireless connections for building upon preloaded workout options. With these models a trainee can download new workouts and/or automatically track workout statistics and sync the data with mobile apps. Some brands allow for workout expansion with virtual reality workout videos featuring the sights and sounds of scenic destinations.
Some extras you can expect on the best treadmills for walkers are iPod compatibility, a secure holder for a tablet computer, a cooling fan and a water bottle holder. The more you spend, the more likely you can own a walkers' treadmill that performs well and also has special electronic perks Examples are a touchscreen and a built-in web browser.

Roger Daltrey's autobiography, Thanks A Lot Mr. Kibblewhite: My Story, is set for publication in the U.S. on October 23rd. In the book, Daltrey takes a serious look at his admittedly happy-go-lucky life, which amazingly has produced eight children -- three of which he didn't know about until after his 50th birthday. The title of Daltrey's memoir name-checks his "draconian headmaster" who expelled Daltrey from high school, leading him to reach his true potential as a musician fronting the Who.
During a chat with The Mirror, Daltrey recalled opening a letter on his 50th birthday containing a photo from a woman he knew at first sight -- not to mention from the copy of the enclosed birth certificate -- was his daughter. Daltrey is thrilled at the surprise children who have popped up in recent years, explaining, "They all came into my life after my 50th birthday. It was great -- it's all worked out. They stay in touch and they're close, so that's great. I've tried to do my best about a situation that couldn't change because it happened a long time ago."
In the new autobiography, Daltrey speaks frankly at how the allure of pursuing a life with the Who on the road took precedent over his first wife, Jackie and his oldest son Simon, who's now 55. Daltrey told the paper that although his actions in the short run were pretty brutal, he had his eye on the prize -- for all involved: "In my head, what was going on was, "If I can make this work, I can look after everyone in my family -- Jackie, Simon my son, Mum, Dad, everyone. I can give them all a better life. And that's what happened. But to do what I had to do was very, very hard. And I had to be a s*** to do it. I'm very close to Simon now. Jackie married again and had two other kids. The whole tribe of us used to go on holiday together." In addition to an unnamed daughter and son, Daltrey's other out of wedlock child is 50-year-old son Mathias, whose mother is model Elisabeth Aronsson.
Much has been made of Daltrey's 47-year "open marriage" to wife Heather Taylor -- an American model who famously was the inspiration for Jimi Hendrix's "Foxey Lady." The couple has three children -- Rosie, 46; Willow, 43; and Jamie, 37. Daltrey said that it was Heather who was able to make the relationship work and last through the decades, saying, "Heather is amazing. To find a woman who understood what this business was like, who I was and who we were, and to accept that and still want to be with me when I came home was a gift from the universe. Whether that's an open marriage or just a matter of being honest with her, because I was never going to be the perfect husband in that sense. So when I come back off tours, we don't talk about it. She accepted that. And you can criticize it, you can say whatever. But all I can say is, whatever we did it worked because we've been together for 50 years and I'm starting to like it."
Although he's in no way forgotten the band's incredible history, Roger Daltrey recognizes that the Who remains very much a part of the now -- both in terms of the business and a still growing legion of fans: "It's nice to have survived, because we did lose a lot of friends on the way. It is extraordinary -- and (to) still able to be able to draw an audience that in some ways is, y'know -- to what young bands kind of draw -- is enormous; thanks to things, like CSI and our songs being on there and other bands picking up Who music and saying that it influenced them. Their fans come and see us and they say: 'Woo, this is something different.' I mean, it's true, Who music is very different from most rock n' roll that's out there."AUDIO: ROGER DALTREY ON ENGAGING YOUNG FANS

I can't seem to get away from hearing people talk about probiotics. Friends who take daily probiotic supplements claim their digestion and immune system are stronger as a result. Others say these supplements also help with weight loss and mood. Sounds fabulous, but are the claims true?
What are Probiotics?
Probiotics, meaning "for life" (as opposed to antibiotics), refer to the "good" bacteria that are either the same as or very similar to the bacteria that are already in your body. A large complex community of these bacteria reside in your lower digestive tract and help keep your gut healthy. The trillions of bacteria in your intestines actually outnumber the number of cells in your entire body.
Current research shows the good bacteria in the intestine are more important for well-being than ever realized before, and keeping a balance between the good and the bad is important to maintain optimal health. "Bad" bacteria refers to the infectious kind, which is generally treated with antibiotics.
Beneficial probiotics can be obtained through food, which is the best place to start. Dietary sources include some yogurts, cheeses and other dairy products such as lactobacillus milk or kefir. (Note: make sure your yogurt is made from "live cultures" and sorry, no, frozen yogurt does not work as a probiotic.) They can also be found naturally in sauerkraut and kimchi, a traditional Korean food created by fermenting vegetables with probiotic lactic acid bacteria..
Alternatively, you can take a dietary probiotic supplement, which are available in tablet, capsule, powder, or liquid form. Lactobacillus species, Bifidobacteria, Saccharomyces boulardii and Bacillus coagulants are the beneficial bacteria most commonly used in over the counter probiotic supplement products. Some yeasts, such as Saccharmyces, can also act as probiotics. Here's the catch – each type — and each strain of each type — can work in different ways. And all probiotic supplements are not created equal; the dose can vary in addition to the strain.
Do I Need to Take a Probiotic Dietary Supplement?
With all these benefits, why don't we all take probiotic supplements? I which I could provide a definitive answer. But, here's what I know.
Probiotics are a big and rapidly growing business and are among the most popular dietary supplements. These over the counter products may contain a single strain or many strains of probiotics, and the number of organisms in a daily dose can range from 1 billion to more than 250 billion. The FDA regulates these products, but does so as a food, not a drug. Manufacturers therefore can claim anything they want on their label and are not required to prove safety or effectiveness. Some labels confidently boast they contain unique probiotics and/or combinations of strains that promote the best possible health — and charge you a premium price for them.
We know all probiotics are not the same, nor do they all have the same effect in the body. The Lactobacilli, for instance, live in our digestive, urinary and genital systems, while Bifidobacteria normally live in the intestines as lactic acid bacteria. You want to make sure if you take a supplement you are taking one that is most likely to benefit you. If you decide to purchase a probiotic, try to find the following information on the label:
- The genus, species, and strain of the probiotic (Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG, for example)
- The number of organisms that will be alive by the use-by date
- The dose
- The company name and contact information
If you can't find this information on the label, you may be able to find it on the company's website. While you're there, look for studies that back up the product's health claims.
Are there side effects to taking probiotic supplements?
Probiotics are safe in the amounts you normally find in food. In general, the majority of healthy adults can safely add foods or dietary supplements containing probiotics to their diets. A possible side effect might be gas (flatulence), which generally subsides after a few days. If you are lactose intolerant and trying to get your probiotics from dairy products, you can experience stomach discomfort. In that case, consider a dairy-free probiotic supplement. Some sources state a degree of sun-sensitivity is a side effect of taking probiotics. As per Dr. Paul Tobowlowsky, creator and lecturer for the Biology in the News course for the SAIL program at Collin College, "Probiotic supplements are not likely to be harmful, but the data proving them beneficial on a daily basis is still lacking."
The Bottom Line?
Ask your doctor for their opinion before taking probiotic supplements. Dr. Tobowlowsky recommends probiotic supplements after a round of antibiotics, which kill both infectious and healthy bacteria. When healthy bacteria are eliminated, harmful bacteria flourishes, possibly causing diarrhea or other gastrointestinal issues. The probiotics will replenish the beneficial bacteria. He went on to say "However, I don't recommend taking daily probiotic supplements for patients who don't have digestive issues-why treat a non-problem?"
Not everyone agrees. In my opinion, more research is necessary to truly understand the widespread benefits and possible side affects of different probiotic strains. For now, as someone who does not like to take more pills on a regular basis than I absolutely need, the advice to take probiotics only after a round of antibiotics, and not daily, sounds good to me. What's your opinion? Leave it in the comments below – we'd love to hear from you.

Fertiliser production –
Climate-neutral hydrogen for ammonia production
Hydrogen is an important raw material in the industry. For example, it is used in large quantities for the production of ammonia (NH3), which is used worldwide for the production of fertiliser, among other applications.
To date, the hydrogen required for this purpose has mainly been produced conventionally with the aid of steam reforming from fossil fuels with the associated CO2 emissions.
Due to climate change and the associated growing interest in CO2 reduction however, the focus is on the search for environment- and climate-friendly energy for the industry, particularly for green hydrogen for ammonia production.
The new plasmalysis technology of our Plasmalyzer makes this goal achievable.
The high efficiency of our Plasmalyzers and the low investment and hydrogen production costs allow us to advance the green hydrogen production for the industry - and to take a step towards a green future.
If you are interested in the pioneering results of our new technology, please contact us.

I get the feeling that this is an under-appreciated tool in Logos. However, I love it. It's one of the more thoughtful linguistically robust tools that logos has.
I was looking at δίδωμι in Ephesians (reading Mike Aubrey's chapter in Linguistics & Biblical Exegesis where he mentions Paul Danove's work). I wanted to check to see what Ephesians 1:22 was tagged in the case frame analysis.
It was tagged as Agent-Theme-Benefactive. Great. However, κεφαλὴν is highlighted as a dark blue and as the benefactive when τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ should be (unless I'm totally missing something here).
From what I have seen in other threads, this might be something connected to the underlying syntax data and that fact that we have object-complement with αὐτὸν and κεφαλὴν. Not sure. Just wanted to point it out.
I love this resource. Don't disregard this, please! :)
I figured it would probably be helpful to have a screenshot.
Thank you, Ryan. It is so nice to see someone else appreciating one of my favorite linguistic features.
Orthodox Bishop Hilarion Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."
Ryan Robinson:It was tagged as Agent-Theme-Benefactive. Great. However, κεφαλὴν is highlighted as a dark blue and as the benefactive when τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ should be (unless I'm totally missing something here).
Interesting, looking at the Clause Participants section throws some light on this.
So the idea behind the tagging seems to be that God has acted in moving Jesus to a place of authority and rule. So the focus is on Jesus and not on the church.
Not sure which is right but I do like this tagging!
This is interesting.
I see what you're saying. However, to think of the benefactive (The person or thing for which an action is performed or for which something exists or happens) in the text, it almost certainly isn't κεφαλὴν but τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ. Even in Aubrey's chapter where he talks about this, he says the following:
"If one decides that sense 1a is correct, then the only option for the dative τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ (tē ekklēsia) is an indirect object with the semantic role of recipient."
Although he uses a different term, recipient and benefactive are clearly in the same semantic range. Oh, and sense 1a is the following in the book:
"Transference, Active, Ditransitive (Agent, Theme, Goal+dat), give"
Again, a little discrepancy in that you have the Agent-Theme-Goal frame in his chapter rather than Agent-Theme-Benefactive in his analysis (reminder, Mike Aubrey did a majority of this analysis per the documentation). Oh, and in Danove's representation of things when you have a term or abbreviation with a + then another abbreviation it functions like the @ in a morph search in logos. In other words, "Goal+dat" means the goal is in the dative case.
Another interesting point is that Paul Danove in his lexicon takes it as sense 2 mentioned in the book:
"Effect, Active, Transitive (Agent, Patient), give forth, produce"
But that's a rabbit trail.
I am still in the place after looking at all this in thinking that τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ is supposed to be the benefactive and something in the tagging is off.
All fair points - and I'm far from an expert in this area, just find it fascinating!
Is it relevant at all that Jesus and Ruler are tagged as the object with the church as an indirect object?
Ryan Robinson:I am still in the place after looking at all this in thinking that τῇ ἐκκλησίᾳ is supposed to be the benefactive and something in the tagging is off.
You are probably right
Graham Criddle:
Is it relevant at all that Jesus and Ruler are tagged as the object with the church as an indirect object?
Yeah. I originally thought there might be a tagging error in the semantic data (Semantic Roles) because of the syntax data (Grammatical roles). I think I have seen in previous a previous post(s) that the syntax data has messed with the semantic data somehow.
Report it as a data error - when I am working Logos hard, I average finding about 6 errors an hour.
Hi Ryan:
We are glad that you are interacting with the semantic role data, and thank you for pointing this out. You are correct that the tagging is off and that the church should be the Benefactive here. I am working on getting this updated.
Thanks Jeremy!
Just to point out, you have the same thing going on in 2 Thessalonians 3:9 because of the double accusative. I'm guessing you would have checked this. But, I thought i'd throw it out there in case it was missed.
