Although its influence in the region has been in decline for years, the Russian government is stoking tensions in the Balkans
Russia's Kosovo Fixation
Backed by the US and the EU, the Serbian government is preparing for reconciliation with Kosovo, which declared independence from Serbia in 2008. Serbian authorities wish to accelerate the process of EU integration, which implies a departure from a current policy aimed at hindering the formation of a Kosovan statehood, amongst other things.
Serbia's intention to finalize the "Kosovo issue" is a thorn in the side for the Russian government, which has consistently strived to undermine integration processes in the Balkans. Russia's aim has long been to prevent Serbia from drifting further from its cultural and economic influence. At present, Russia is practically excluded from the Kosovo settlement process. But that has not stopped the Kremlin from influencing the situation through anti-Albanian propaganda and by obstructing Kosovo's integration into international organizations. Fresh attempts to destabilize the region, which is still heavily scarred by ethnic conflict, cannot be ruled out, especially against the backdrop of Russia's current frosty relations with Brussels and Washington.
"The Kosovo issue" has flared up again after the US administration announced that the acceleration of the Balkan states' accession into both the EU and NATO was desirable. Russian attempts to undermine the perception of the region as "a sphere of exclusive Western interests" have also raised a few eyebrows. Serbia and Albania are preparing to enter a decisive stage in their dialogue; expecations are high that it could lead to the normalization of relations. This is one of the EU's key requirements. Both Serbia, which has been conducting accession negotiations since 2014, and its breakaway province (with its own potential candidate status) aspire to become EU member states.
The EU anticipates that Serbia may join by 2025, whereas the Serbian authorities hope to finalize membership negotiations between 2020-2022. Serbia, however, may encounter an impasse on its path towards EU membership should Brussels deem relations with Kosovo to be insufficiently normalized. This would be irrespective of progress made in other areas. Failure to fulfil the provisions of Chapter 35 enough to derail progress. This chapter requires a "comprehensive" normalization of relations between Serbia and Kosovo, and anything short of that could mean the European Commission rules not to open or close other chapters, effectively stalling accession.
Unable to alter the reality in Kosovo - that is, the development of the state with the support of the US and major European countries - Serbia seems willing to make concessions for the sake of EU integration. Speeches made by President Aleksandar Vučić of Serbia over recent months have indicated that agreements based on "painful compromises" are in the offing. "This should be a viable solution that excludes conflict," he said in one speech, "and takes into account that Albanians residing in Kosovo enjoy the support of most Western countries on their way to fulfilling their national idea."
A final settlement on relations between Serbia and Kosovo, who were on opposing sides of a brutal armed conflict in the late 1990s, could make the process of EU integration more predictable. However, overcoming the Kosovan conundrum will be far from easy. Acute differences remain between both sides. There is also a reported lack of progress in actually implementing adopted agreements. And there is one additional factor which clouds the issue: the opacity of Moscow's Balkans policy.
In the past, Moscow participated in the development of the UN Security Council resolution 1244 which played a key role in Kosovo's post-war stabilization. The adoption of this resolution completely deprived the Serbian authorities of military and police control over Kosovo. Russia later became one of the authors of the "Guiding Principles (…) for a settlement of the status of Kosovo". These principles did not allow for the territorial shifts in Kosovo nor a return to the pre-March 1999 situation i.e. as things stood prior to NATO's intervention.
After the UN Security Council failed to settle the Kosovo issue and Western countries switched to the implementation of Ahtisaari's plan on ensuring the independence of Kosovo through an international presence, Moscow was effectively stripped of its leverage. Currently, when Belgrade and Pristina hold talks on the normalization of Kosovo's status via the EU, no role is envisaged for Russia. But this does little to prevent the latter from interfering in the process. Moscow can, and is, impeding Kosovo's integration into the international community by preventing the country from joining the UN, UNESCO and other organizations while persistently discrediting the local political elite.
Should Belgrade refrain from blocking Kosovo's independence as part of normalizing relations with Albania, there will be no need for Moscow to attempt to marginalize the self-declared republic. However, the Kosovo issue is not only just about relations between Russia and Serbia (Moscow positions itself as the main defender of Serbia's territorial integrity). It is also an important element of the Kremlin's confrontation with the West. Russia's authorities are using the Kosovo issue to justify the annexation of Crimea and their policy of undermining the sovereignty of countries in the immediate neighborhood. Moreover, complexities in the post-war settlement in Kosovo are taken advantage of to criticize its "Western patrons" and undermine the credibility of EU and NATO efforts in the Balkans.
Russia's assessment of the situation in Kosovo is harsher and more pessimistic than that of Serbia. In recent months, Moscow has spoken of a "worsening security situation" and threats of "ethnic cleansing against Serbs in the Balkans". At the same time, the Serbian leadership confirms that no murder on ethnic grounds has been committed in Kosovo within the last four years. Pro-Kremlin media releases describe how the US and NATO are attempting to instigate new conflicts in the Balkans while implementing the "great Albanian scenario". Albania is allegedly capable of provoking chaos in the region within a few hours. Apparently, "Great Albania" could be created within the European Union with the assistance of EU member states. According to the Russian media, EU integration will not ensure the Serbs' worst fears never materialize nor will it deliver effective protection. These ungrounded assertions provoke fear and inter-ethnic enmity. Of course, such "hot news" is spreading across the Balkans even without the help of Russian propagandists. Still, the fact that Russia develops information sites and funds disinformation campaigns is par for the course.
Russia has not reacted officially to statements by the President of Serbia on his readiness to reach a final settlement with Kosovan Albanians. Still, the Russian factor influences talks on this issue. Pro-Russian political forces in Serbia call for an end to negotiations with the Kosovan Albanians and for the issue to be referred back to the UN Security Council or else appeal to "freeze the conflict". Following the referendum on the independence of Catalonia, unrecognized by the European Union, a new argument shared by the Kremlin's United Russia has been added to the arguments of Serbian patriots: the EU cannot be regarded as an impartial intermediary to the negotiations between Kosovo and Serbia.
In addition, the idea of "delineating" or "dividing" Kosovo into Serbian and Albanian territories has entered the information space once again. The Serbian Foreign Minister Ivica Dačić, who leads the Serbian socialist party, asserted that Moscow would support this idea should it be presented as Serbia's official position. Dačić should know that issues related to Kosovo's status and territorial changes are not being discussed as part of the current settlement process. The "division" scenario has been simply impossible since NATO troops entered Kosovo in 1999, and the proclamation of Kosovo's independence along with the signing of the Brussels agreement on the principles governing the normalization of relations between Belgrade and Pristina.
Russian diplomats have refrained from making statements on this issue; the proposal on the "division" of Kosovo has lost significance since the agreement on principles which precluded this option on an international level. So Serbian society has been given a false signal about the possibility of arriving at "more favorable solutions" thanks to cooperation with Russia. This is yet another gift to propagandists who peddle the image of a "great superpower" capable of changing the regional reality. In addition, they are trying to flare up tensions in the Balkans and complicate the adoption of important political decisions. The question is whether Russia will limit itself to blatant anti-Balkan and anti-Western propaganda or launch destabilizing actions in Serbia and the north of Kosovo alongside radical groups which have ties to Moscow.
Russia's policy is increasingly perceived by the Balkan states on their way to the EU and NATO as an approach to "disrupt NATO, divide Europe". The region's role might expand against the backdrop of the confrontation between the Kremlin and the West. Yet the problem is, peace-keeping missions in the region are far from being fully successful. Support for anti-Western conservative forces and propaganda which enhances interethnic intolerance, increases levels of distrust between stakeholders involved in post-war reconstruction and reforms are regarded as destabilizing efforts by Moscow's opponents.
In this context, initiatives undertaken by the Russian-Serbian Humanitarian Center in Niš raise concerns. As opponents of Russian influence suspect, the center has non-humanitarian ambitions. The center's fate has become uncertain following accusations that the Russian authorities planned an operation aimed at overthrowing the government of neighboring Montenegro on Serbian territory in 2016.
Today, experts are unable to predict what foreign policy measures Russia will adopt after the 2018 election: will the Kremlin continue to act on impulse in the face of high risks (Georgia, Ukraine or Syria) or will it reduce the level of conflict potential and abandon "secret special operations"? At the same time, no one expects Moscow to stop undermining European and Euro-Atlantic integration. As pro-Kremlin think tanks put it, the Balkans states are front-line targets.

"Three Massachusetts combat veterans have won a court challenge against the state government, which denied them their Welcome Home Bonus money after deployments in Afghanistan because they received "other than honorable" discharges from the military.
Lawyers in the case estimate the Suffolk Superior Court judge's decision could affect about 4,000 veterans in Massachusetts, while two of the plaintiffs said they hope it will also draw more attention to the plight of former service members, including those with post-traumatic stress disorder, who struggle with resuming their lives after returning home.
"When we enlist, we put our lives on the line to protect our country. But when we get out, we're thrown in the back of the line," said Washington Santos, an Army veteran in Revere who served in Afghanistan and is one of the plaintiffs in the case. "There isn't that love or that care for a veteran as there should be."Continue reading the article online (subscription may be required)

Production In Paying Quantities
Essentially all present day oil & gas leases contain habendum clauses that provide for a set primary term. Customarily three to five years, followed by a secondary term in which the lease is perpetuated by the production of oil and gas in paying quantities. Although this clause is commonly used in oil and gas leases, it doesn't have a constant definition. Some courts interpret the language of the habendum clause strictly and require the actual, physical production and marketing of oil or gas for the secondary term to continue, others focus on the capability of production and don't require the actual selling or marketing of oil or gas to preserve the lease. However, Texas has embraced the actual production interpretation.

Says Edmund H. Sears: "The passage has often been regarded as if the chief thing to be considered was the duration of the punishment of the unrighteous, over against the duration of the life of the righteous, and that since both are described by the same word, they are of like duration. That would undoubtedly be so if mere duration or extension by time were expressed at all, or any way involved in the contrast. But that, as I should interpret, is not the meaning of the original word. The element of time, as we measure things, does not enter into it at all. Not duration, but quality[editor's emphasis], is the chief thing involved in this word rendered 'eternal.' .. .The word aion and its derivatives, rendered 'eternal' and 'everlasting,' describe an economy complete in itself, and the duration must depend on the nature of the economy The New Testament, if it reveals anything, reveals the aion —the dispensation that lies next to this, and gathers into it the momentous results of our probation in time. But what lies beyond that in the cycles of a coming eternity, I do not believe has been revealed to the highest angel. Think of that endless Beyond! If every atom of the globe were counted off, and every atom stood for a million years, still we have not apporached a conception of endless duration. And yet sinful and fallible men affirm that their fellow sinners are to be given over to indescribable agonies through those millions of years thus repeated, and even then the clocks of eternity have only struck the morning hour! that the hells of pent-up anguish are to streak eternity with blood in lines parallel forever with the being of God! If Gabriel should come and tell us that we should have a right to believe that the history of the infinite future infolded in the bosom of God, had not been given to Gabriel!"(58)

Hi there,
Massachusetts has had mandated parent education for some years. The course is titled "Understanding the Effect of Divorce on Children" and more information can be found here (PDF).
I have always thought it was a good idea, not everyone gets it, of course, but I think many do. Simple civility and how to keep the kids out of the middle are a great idea for divorcing parents. A colleague sent me this article* which seems to indicate that these requirements have a beneficial effect.
I was also interested to see that the divorce rate is dropping.

The seductive sentient sprouts will probably be a popular choice for players when Guild Wars 2 launches later this year, but not everyone wants to be a nature loving hippie fichus. Some want to be the smartest character in a group. They want to have a role-play reason optimize the living daylights out of their characters. They want to know the science behind everything in Tyria ever. Their naked ambition to prove their superiority drives everything they do. They want to play an Asura.
The Asura are an old race whose recent history has seen them displaced not just from their cities but from the subterranean environment to which they were naturally adapted. Imagine a yeti forced to live in a desert or a human having to live underwater the rest of their lives. In their new less than optimal environment the Asuran intellect has allowed them to rapidly conquer their surroundings. While their location has change the Asuran personality has not. The short reptilian race is still actively curious, narcissistic, and driven to advance themselves as individuals and as a race. Embracing these traits will allow anyone to find their inner Asura.
Active Curiosity: finding your story
For Asura curiosity is an itch, it drives them to not just learn how something works, but why. This itch often manifests as practical experiments and inventions. Want to know how weather works? Design a weather manipulation machine, along the way not only will you learn how weather works, but how to control it as well.
While Arena Net provides three inventions through the personal story feel free to branch out. Much like the Wyld hunt for the Sylvari the experiments ANet hands the player don't have to affect free form role-playing sessions. If you stay with the ANet stories and encounter another Asura who's working on the same experiment you can compare notes or boast about how your flummoxed capacitor has triple the capacity of your counterpart's. In many ways an Asura's project is a reflection of themselves; it displays their genius and desire to change the world as well as their arrogance.
Little Narcissists: Asuran personalities
Arrogance is the personality trait that outsiders most commonly attribute to the Asura. The Asura know they are smarter than 99% of the members or the other sentient races of Tyria and they believe it gives them license to skip explanations. Imagine if you will a brilliant physicist who can also explain advanced concepts in basic terms. As the physicist explains a topic they make decided how deep to take their explanations based on what they think their audience knows. For the physicist this is a silent parsing of data in their head, an Asura does the parsing out loud.
Tessel: So you're saying that I stepped through a hole in time?
Appo: not at all it's more like a pandimensional wormhole creating a convergence in the fourth dimension or 'time' inside of a localized area of space. Of course you wouldn't understand that; so I suppose I could explain the theory behind such forms of travel, but that would take all day and I don't feel like it. Think of it more like you hopped a ride on a passing carriage only instead of going to the next town over you went twenty years into the future.
Tessel: I think that makes sense.
Appo: of course it does, not that the carriage model is at all accurate but if it make someone of your intelligence feel better…
As can be seen above Appo makes no incorrect statements, but also does not attempt to avoid bluntly stating that Tessel cannot possibly understand what he is talking about.
In the past I have categorized Asura as sociopaths, but that is actually inaccurate as what appears to be sociopathy to a human is actually the social norm for the species. This does mean that playing the Asura as a sociopath from human terms may allow you a more consistent portrayal of your character. It is important to distinguish that Asura tend not to be psychopaths they do have a conscience and are capable of feeling guilty, see their apology to the Sylvari.
Snaff, an Asura in the book Edge of Destiny presents an interesting alternative to the typical Asuran personality. Snaff was able to keep his ego in check and occasionally exhibited a selfless attitude in his interactions with other. As the legend of Snaff grows we may see more Asura adopting a less arrogant attitude.cial norm for the species.
Rational Submission: Asuran society
Asuran society is extremely chaotic and yet oddly efficient. Before an Asura is arrogant they are rational and from that rationality springs an Asura's submission to their societal leaders. It may surprise many that a normal Asura's priorities are first to their species second to themselves and third to whatever krewe or family unit they are a part of. ANet has said that an Asura's greatest ambition is the create something that so improves the standing of the Asura species they will likely never be forgotten.
Who are you?
Now that you have some ideas of what an Asura is like in a general sense start brainstorming is you're Asura an elixir master or a golemancer. Are you arrogant or have you begun to see the world through Snaff's eyes. Do you engage the other races or do you prefer the solitude of your lab in rata sum. Feel free to share your Asuran aspirations in the comments.

The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) advised all airport operators and other authorities to take the necessary health and safety measures against Zika virus.
In a memorandum dated February 17, 2016, signed by Director General William Hotchkiss 3rd and based on a bulletin issued by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the CAAP said the Zika virus has been declared a "public health emergency of international concern."
It sent out notices to concerned airport authorities, airline firms and airport medical officials on a Zika virus alert for them to also take precautions to prevent the spread of the virus.
Travelers to other countries were urged to take extra precautions against mosquito bites, through which the Zika virus could be spread.
The World Health Organization (WHO) declared, last February 1, Zika virus as an international health concern. To date, the virus has spread to 33 countries and found indirect evidence of local transmission in six other countries.
"The ICAO is collaborating with the WHO to ensure that the aviation sector play a supporting role in minimizing the risk of spreading the disease internationally and of travelers becoming infected, especially women who may be pregnant," Hotchkiss said.
He added that a basic precaution that may be undertaken by the airlines is disinfection of aircraft to prevent breeding of Zika virus-carrying mosquitoes.
Bureau of Quarantine personnel at the airports have been reminded to stay alert for arriving passengers who may be infected by the Zika virus that makes use of similar transmission routes as dengue fever.
The virus is blamed in South America, in particular, for the birth of children with abnormally small heads and undeveloped brains, a medical condition called microcephaly.

PIQUA — As part of a nationwide effort among community colleges, Edison State Community College is working toward implementing the Guided Pathways to Success initiative to help students complete programs faster through early planning, program mapping, and guidance and support throughout their education.
Dr. Davis Jenkins, a co-author of the groundbreaking book Redesigning America's Community Colleges and a senior research associate at the Community College Research Center (CRCC) at Columbia University's Teachers College, recently visited Edison State to meet with faculty, administration, and staff about Edison State's implementation of the Guided Pathways initiative.
"After a day talking with faculty, staff, administrators, and board members, I think Edison State is well poised to implement clearer pathways to success for their students," said Jenkins. "They've got some of the key pieces in place and faculty and staff seem to be on board and are asking good questions. We at CCRC are looking forward to learning from Edison State as these improvements are put in place."
The guided pathways model is an integrated, institution-wide approach to student success that includes four essential practices: (1) clarification of paths to student end goals through program maps and transfer pathways; (2) helping students choose and enter a pathway bridging K-12 to higher education and assisting students by aligning mathematics and foundational skills with their program of study; (3) helping students stay on their chosen path by providing strong advising along with academic and non-academic supports; and (4) ensuring that students are learning skills and knowledge required for success in employment and further education.
"We were honored to have Dr. Jenkins on our campus to offer his expertise regarding our implementation of the Guided Pathways to Success initiative," said Chris Spradlin, provost at Edison State. "Dr. Jenkins provided a wealth of detailed information, valuable insight, and encouragement that will help us to refine our approach to promoting student success at Edison State."
The announcement was also made that Edison State has been selected as one of six community colleges in Ohio to participate in a research study conducted by the CCRC of the guided pathways project.
Following a two-day site visit in the spring, the CCRC will provide feedback to Edison State, summarizing initial observations about the College's adoption of guided pathways practices as well as suggestions for improving implementation moving forward. Following the conclusion of all six site visits, the CRCC will prepare a comprehensive report that will integrate findings across the institutions.
Edison State is a member of the Student Success Leadership Institute sponsored by the Ohio Association of Community Colleges and the Ohio Department of Higher Education. The Institute is funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and the Great Lakes Higher Education Guaranty Corporation. All 23 of Ohio's community colleges are participating in the Institute through which the Guided Pathways initiative is being developed.

An Australian first: Uni of Adelaide now accredited to train drone pilots
The University of Adelaide has become the first Australian university to offer an accredited training course for commercial drone pilots.
The University of Adelaide has become the first university in Australia to gain accreditation to train students to operate drones and other remotely piloted aircraft. The course will cover all practical and theoretical syllabus to meet the requirements of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority of Australia (CASA) for a commercial drone license.
Students will be able to take full advantage of the university's state of the art infrastructure, equipment and facilities to cover a wide range of study areas including air legislation, aerodynamics, meteorology and fight training for different types of drones
Upon successful completion of the 5-day intensive course participants are issued with a Remote Pilot License certified by CASA. This license allows the operation of drones weighing over 2kg to be used for commercial purposes.
As drone technology evolves, the equipment is increasingly being used in a range of industries with endless possibilities for inventive, exciting applications. The accreditation of this training course is an important step to contribute to Australia's highly skilled workforce as we look toward a future focused on innovation and knowledge-intensive industries.
The first courses are being run for current students and stuff of the University of Adelaide, with open courses scheduled to begin in August. For information on how you can take part, visit uraf.org.

Before you buy an oxygen flow meter, there is something to learn about in advance: your breathing pattern can affect the final oxygen dose you receive from your flow meter.
Many patients receiving oxygen therapy aren't fully aware that various breathing patterns have direct effects on how they set their oxygen flow meter.
Your physician prescribes oxygen at a specific dose, one that is appropriate for your condition. However, even though your doctor has prescribed a set liter flow for you (usually 1–3 liters per minute), many variables affect that liter flow. And some can lead to dramatic shifts in the amount of oxygen you are receiving.
How does this happen? The main problem affecting your therapeutic oxygen level is air dilution.
Therapeutic Oxygen and Air Dilution
First, it is important to note that the air we breathe is not pure oxygen. Only 21% of the air we breathe is made up of oxygen. The rest is made up of nitrogen and some other trace gases. The oxygen in the air is always stable at 21%, so a man-made oxygen concentration system must source anything beyond that.
When we use therapeutic oxygen, we are raising the baseline level of oxygen in the air from 21% to 25%, 40%, or even up to 100%. Here is the reason: During illness and disease, the balance between the oxygen in our bodies and the available oxygen in the atmosphere is thrown off. In the case of pneumonia, portions of the lungs are filled with fluid, so getting enough oxygen into the blood becomes more challenging.
To remain healthy and alive, delivering higher levels of therapeutic oxygen is the only way to get enough into your body when conditions of low blood oxygen (hypoxemia) are present.
However, when more oxygen is introduced into your environment, getting the right concentration depends on your breathing pattern and the available equipment.
How Your Breathing Pattern Dilutes Therapeutic Oxygen
Five main variables affect the amount of oxygen you receive from your oxygen flow meter:
- Mouth-breathing
- Breathing rate
- Breathing depth/speed
- The interval difference between inhaling and exhaling
- Oxygen device
If you are using a nasal cannula, breathing through your mouth leads to increased air dilution, which lowers the amount of oxygen that ends up in your lungs. You will still get the same amount of oxygen that is in the air regularly, but the effect will be like decreasing your oxygen flow meter. If mouth-breathing is unavoidable, an oxygen mask can cover both the nose and the mouth, circumventing the mouth-breathing problem.
The rate of your breathing also affects therapeutic oxygen flow. If you take in more breaths per minute (anything higher than 20 breaths per minute), you are going to dilute the therapeutic oxygen coming in. On the other hand, if you slow down your breathing, you can effectively stabilize the amount of oxygen you are getting from your oxygen flow meter.
The same idea goes for breathing depth. If you take in a deep breath too quickly, you will draw in more air than oxygen, which decreases your therapeutic oxygen level.
The way to avoid this is to take deep breaths slowly. Doing so will allow you to stabilize the amount of oxygen you are breathing in from the oxygen flow meter.
Additionally, the interval difference between inhalation and exhalation also affects your therapeutic oxygen level. Usually, the ratio between inhalation and exhalation is 1:2, which means for every 1-second inhalation, there is at least a 2-second exhalation that follows. If your inhalation and exhalation intervals are the same (such as a 1-second inhalation and 1-second exhalation), then your therapeutic oxygen level will decrease. However, keeping this ratio closer to 1:2 is the best way to stabilize therapeutic oxygen levels.
The final variable that affects the amount of oxygen you get from your oxygen flow meter is the type of oxygen device you are using. I will discuss this in the next section.
Oxygen Devices and Their Effects on Oxygen Flow Meters
Four commonly-used oxygen devices can affect therapeutic oxygen levels differently and are sensitive to your breathing pattern:
- Nasal cannulas
- Reservoir cannulas
- Simple masks
- Nonrebreathing masks
Nasal cannulas are plastic devices that sit inside your nostrils and deliver a low amount of oxygen. These devices are the most comfortable option, but they are sensitive to air dilution.
As discussed above, mouth-breathing bypasses the therapeutic oxygen going into your nostrils and dilutes the air going into your lungs with atmospheric air (at 21% oxygen). To avoid this, the trick with nasal cannulas is to concentrate on breathing through your nose most of the time, but they will work just fine if you are breathing through your mouth slowly and deeply.
Reservoir cannulas look and function just like regular nasal cannulas, but they have a reservoir system that conserves a small volume of oxygen for the next breath. Doing so enriches the initial part of the next breath with oxygen. Reservoir cannulas are still susceptible to mouth-breathing, but the reservoir mitigates some of that air dilution.
Simple masks are plastic face masks that cover your nose and mouth and deliver oxygen from a flow meter. These masks eliminate the mouth-breathing problem and can safely provide a stable amount of therapeutic oxygen. They are, however, still susceptible to the effects of your breathing pattern. The key to using simple masks is to keep your breathing rate slow and also take in deep breaths slowly.
While this next oxygen device is mostly used in acute or emergency situations, the nonrebreather mask is a great option to eliminate the mouth-breathing problem and breathing-pattern variables, particularly when you need a higher concentration of oxygen for a specific medical reason. With these masks, a large reservoir bag fills with oxygen continuously so you can achieve close to pure levels of oxygen. However, you would need an oxygen flow meter that can go as high as 15 liters per minute because this device requires it.
Using pure oxygen can be damaging to your lungs, so you should only use nonrebreather masks, or therapeutic oxygen in general, under the direct supervision of a physician or medical professional.
Final Thoughts
How you breathe, and the oxygen device you choose, affects the oxygen you receive from your oxygen flow meter. Even though you have diligently set your oxygen to 2 liters per minute (or whatever your prescription is), that doesn't mean you will get precisely 2 liters per minute. As we have seen, there are several variables to watch out for, so you can ensure you are receiving enough oxygen from your device.

Hi /a/!
A lot of the anime I've watched were about love in some aspect or another - even Elfen Lied had its moments of omg ^____^, which brought me to wonder if there's any acutal HORROR anime out there. Not just action / thrill ones, but with actual horror themes and creepy artwork.
I realize it might not be as common because of cultural differences, but have any /a/nons some horror anime to recommend?
Picture unrelated as it's a random one from my pictures folder.

Wedding Colours to Suit the Season
Taking inspiration from the seasons, we've picked out the perfect colour schemes to suit every time of year
Should you pick delicate pastels for spring and reach for bold shades of red in winter? We reveal which shades work best in each of the four seasons.
With the first flurry of bright yellow daffodils and pink cherry blossom trees, nothing says romance like the arrival of spring.
Wedding photographer Lisa Cowen says that when the clocks go forward there is a magic hour when the light is so soft and gentle that photographs have a fairytale quality, ideal for the most romantic of days.
Flowers are plentiful at this time of year, and bouquets and button holes in nude shades of ivory and palest cocoa — lifted with splashes of bright pink and vibrant purple — work perfectly. Bridal make-up should follow the same theme with soft, smoky eyes, highlighted by bright lips in coral or fuchsia. Bridal hair works best in understated, natural styles with a simple flower or knot.
In spring, bridesmaids dresses can be shorter, flowing in shades of lemon, lilac and bolder violets, and you can bring seasonal beauty inside with your table decorations, choosing indigo-coloured hydrangeas or simple lilies interspersed with petals and crystals for added springtime sparkle.
Rebekah Roberts from Eternity Bridal says that ivory is a classic colour throughout the year — and in summer you can also reach for beautiful, seasonal shades. Warm blush pinks and champagnes are especially lovely for June and July weddings.
As well as reflecting the warmth of summer in your own choices, there are also summer colours you can turn to when picking out your bridesmaid dresses; the most popular choices are lavender and baby blue.
Summer is the season where floral accessories can add a splash of bright, vibrant colour to your entire wedding party; fuschia and purple draw upon and accentuate the paler shades in your dress and décor. If you're saying 'I do' outdoors, enhance your surroundings with a touch of green — pink roses intertwined with green leaves make a perfect bouquet for natural brides who love to be connected to nature, or weave a bright bloom or two into a softly-constructed hairstyle for an extra touch of summer sizzle.
Everyone loves the russets, auburns and burnt oranges of autumn. The temperature may drop at this time of year, but Mother Nature's most striking colour scheme can inspire every aspect of your wedding. While flattering burgundy and chocolate work with every bridesmaid's skin tone, you could consider plumping for a wedding dress in a deep, autumnal shade too — bright red on daring, fashion-forward brides will always be a talking point.
You'll be spoilt for choice for your bouquet (gerbera and calla lilies are both in season), and you can even put your autumnal colour scheme on the menu; choose pumpkin soup to start and cranberry and apple deserts to finish, both of which bring out the colours and flavours of the season.
And make sure your wedding cake is adorned with marzipan leaves, acorns or chocolate roses. Sarah Edwards adds some serious autumnal wow factor to a classic three-tier design with her delicious 'Autumn Leaves' cake, featuring cascading leaves in gorgeous colours.
Snowfall, candlelight and open fires, there's nothing quite as romantic as walking up the aisle in winter. And you can make the very most of your venue by picking colours that warm up the room and really emphasise the season.
Choose a venue like the fabulous Rookery Manor where guests will be surrounded by views of the beautiful 86-acre garden, which becomes a bewitching winter landscape when the flakes start to fall.
You can even take advantage of a unique ring bearer — have both wedding rings delivered to the altar by a beautiful, trained barn owl for an additional touch of wintry magic.
You can create a cosy look in winter too; warm-up the venue's interior with touches of red, gold and green down the aisle, and add a hint of heat to your bridesmaid dresses with a richly-coloured sash or bow. Classic Christmas colours also work well as table decorations, whether it's a sprig of holly and gold table confetti, or a romantic floral arrangement with red and white roses. If Christmas colours don't appeal, use the snowfall as inspiration; combine silver table crystals with ice blue tones to create an indoor winter wonderland.
