Composition is primarily illustrative in nature. Language essay writing is not any exclusion. Writing this sort of composition is not a simple occupation. Creating a detailed composition might be abundant and satisfying expertise, but it might also feel relatively complicated. The perfect idea which you have to concentrate up on initially, is the intention of writing this composition. Because you are able to notice, there's simply no limit to the amount of topics you may possibly choose for a detailed essay. Besides the institution suggestion, they should place their heads to compose the incredibly important essay to get admittance to faculty. Your satirical article may make additional brownie points with a suitable name. The decision is the stage where the writer restates the primary thought of the specified illustrative essay.
You can't afford to improve dissertation in the centre of an essay out.
Browsing through the web for additional ideas www.bestessay.website may also be beneficial in creating down the illustrative composition. As you begin on your own illustrative article, it is essential for you to identify precisely what you should explain. After eventually picking a subject to speak about, make note of all of the cursors which have to be contained within the illustrative composition. The essay is entirely nicely arranged. This kind of article also needs to be nicely organized. The advent of an essay is actually where the writer ushers within the essential notion helping the essay. It should contain the general idea of the whole descriptive essay.

Ben thank you for your help with this but I have now resolved the issue.
I simply changed over to a new OS (WIN 10). So somehow the problem was associated with the previous OS (Win 7).
LIghtwave now working OK.
Ben thank you for your help with this but I have now resolved the issue.
I simply changed over to a new OS (WIN 10). So somehow the problem was associated with the previous OS (Win 7).
LIghtwave now working OK.
Definitely not an OS problem. I'm experiencing this as well on Windows 10. Tools just stop working. I have to restart LW. They then work for awhile and stop. I'm also using LW 2019.1.4
Now it won't work at all even when I restart LW. I tried re-installing, but that didn't help.
Initially it appeared that Lightwave was working after I installed Windows 10 but I am afraid the problem has returned. So you are correct it is not an OS problem. This is just so frustrating. Now it is impossible to do any work at all.
Pleased that I am not the only one with the problem. What I could do with is some real help from Newtek.
Are you guys sure it is nothing graphics driver related? The oddest thing is that it appears only after a while. Has by chance windows or your graphics driver had updates after the install of LW? Have you tried to revert your system to an earlier restore point? Maybe it is just an very odd combination of drivers that might cause this. just a thought...
Fishhead, thanks for the suggestion- good thought, so I have uninstalled my graphics card (Nvidia GeForce GTX 970) and did a clean re-install using latest driver. Unfortunately problem still exists.
(I didn't roll back to previous driver because the problem started with the previous driver in use)
I was using the program (with WIN 7) with no problems earlier in the year but took a break of 3-4 months without using LIghtwave. When I came back to use it the problem started immediately. So I have now installed WIN 10, did a clean re-install of Lightwave downloaded from the Newtek website and problem is still there.
Also, the same problem appears in Layout. That is the nav buttons do not work and the tools will not work either. The image is basically frozen.
Interesting that pdrake has essentially the same issue, except it appears he can get some work done intermittantly, whereas in my case the problem is perpetual.
Don't know what else to try at this stage and problem makes Lightwave unuseable. Going slowly crazy with this. Open to any thoughts.
Try re-installing another copy of Lightwave into another folder on your hard drive.
BEFORE you start Lightwave create a Preferences folder in the same location as Layout/Modeler etc.
Start Lightwave, it should create completely new configs in this Prefs folder.

Hi Mark
Thanks for your thoughts on this.
Very early on when the problem first appeared it seemed to me that it might have something to do with the Preferences of Config files.
In order to rule those out I did a complete install of a new OS (WIN 10). I then installed Lightwave (latest version) and made no changes to the prefs.
So Lightwave "straight out of the box" with a newly installed OS had exactly the same problem. If there was some sort of corruption with either the prefs or configs this would now be fixed.
Does this make sense?
I am wondering if it is somehow related to the graphics card (see previous post). Just now I disabled the card and opened Lightwave. Problem still exists, even with my graphics card disabled.
Any other thoughts gratefully received .
I did a reinstall of my graphics driver. Still having this problem.
I'm using an Quadro M5000 with driver V 391.25 which was downloaded from Nvidea's site, not the windows driver.
Make sure LW is actually using your NVidia card by right-clicking the Modeler executable (or a shortcut to it) and selecting the NVidia processor as its default:
If you bring up the NVidia Control Panel, you can enable the option to "Display GPU Activity Icon in Notification Area":
This causes an icon to be added in the "System Tray", which shows rainbow-colored when the NVidia card is being used by at least one program:
If you click the NVidia icon, it will show the program(s) which are currently using the NVidia GPU:
Thanks for going to the trouble with the screen shots. I explored what you have suggested and it appears the graphics card is working OK.
What I have found today FINALLY is that I have now narrowed the problem down to this:
The only way I can work on an object already created is to close Modeler and click on the already saved object. Modeler opens and the saved file now works fine
with all tools and nav buttons working correctly. If I then save the object Modeler essentially freezes again. So again I have to close Modeler and restart it by clicking on the saved object.
I have started a new thread on this now that I have narrowed the problem down.
Hopefully someone can help.
Could this be a Hub problem? Maybe Modeler is locking up waiting for some sort of response from the Hub which is being blocked somehow?
Try running Modeler with the "-0" command line argument to disable using the Hub.
Could you please tell me how to use the "-0" command line argument. I apologise for the ignorance.
Skip to the section titled "Running without the Hub".

Yesterday, I went to the bookstore to get work done. Being a book worm, I couldn't leave without buying a book.
I decided on Seneca's "On The Happy Life" (De Vita Beata).
While I didn't buy the book for business advice, I found a wealth of money-making wisdom in there.
I want to share one piece with you.
Let me paraphrase.
"Humans are not like lions, whose power is limited by a cage. Human impact is often greatest in a limited space."
See, I'm a copywriter—that's a fairly confined space to operate in. I *could* have greater impact by focusing on a type of copy or type of client. And I'm working on that.
But there are many freelancers who try to do *everything*. They'll do web design, manage your PPC campaigns, help you with SEO and create your new logo.
But if I need a website, I'll hit up a web designer.
For a logo, I'll find a logo designer.
And… you get the deal.
I know there's a discussion to be had here and many disagree and hate specialization.
There's something to be said against specialization. But that's for another post.

Story via Save Our American Republic.
"I have lived on the border my whole life. People have no idea what goes on down here. Cartels or smugglers will buy a warehouse on the Mexican side and tunnel through to the American side.
The tunnels are very sophisticated with rails and ventilation. Some operate for years before they are discovered. Tons of drugs and thousands of illegals have passed through the tunnels undetected."
Full story at Save Our American Republic. Posted here on 12/15/18. See "open borders, illegal immigrants, illegal immigration".
This article was composed from comments posted this week by SOAR.
Today, on the border, Angel Families gathered at the San Ysidro Land Port of Entry to show support for President Trump, and raise awareness of Americans victimized by illegal immigrants.
Meanwhile, the caravan marched on the U.S. consulate in Tijuana, demanding $50,000 in reparations for each immigrant.
Self-described Social Justice Warriors, quoting the Bible and holding signs that read, "No person is illegal", also marched to the Tijuana border, but were handcuffed by the Border Patrol for violating the security zone.
Last week, a Nicaraguan woman dug a hole under the fence and passed her baby through to a female relative on the other side. The woman and child were immediately apprehended by customs officers.
Another woman climbed over an older portion of the fence and was taken to a hospital because she was in labor. Trump has to…

Magic is damaged, and a team of heroes rises up to tackle the problems of the DCU in Justice League Dark #1 from DC Comics.
Justice League Dark #1
Writer: James Tynion IV
Pencils: Alvaro Martinez Bueno
Inks: Raul Fernandez
Letterer: Rob Leigh
Cover Art: Alvaro Martinez Bueno
Variant Cover: Greg Capullo, Jonathan Glapion, FCO Plascencia
Publisher: DC Comics
Cover Price: $3.99
Previously in JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK: Recent events in the DCU (Justice League: No Justice, Dark Nights: Metal) have left magic in a damaged state. Magic users who at one time had total control of their spells are now endangering people by using even the most trivial spell. In an effort to solve the problem, the Justice League has authorized a Justice League Dark to be created to confront the mystery and fix magic. It's up to Wonder Woman to gather that team.
It is turning out to be more difficult than she realized.
Our story begins with the bewitching stage sorceress, Zatanna, in the process of opening her act at the very theater her father, Zatara, once owned. She explains the unwritten rules of agreement between the magician and their audience to the reader, and even as she does, a simple trick goes horribly wrong. An unnamable horror from some dark realm emerges and attacks the unsuspecting audience. Wonder Woman, aware of the problems with magic, arrives and assists Zatanna in fighting back the beast, but it becomes quickly evident that Zatanna's spells are no longer reliable. This isn't the first time Wonder Woman has approached her about assisting in investigating the problem of the world's magic, and it apparently is not the first time Zatanna has turned her down on joining her Justice League Dark. Zatanna is convinced that the problem with magic must be handled by magic-users, and so she goes to a meeting of the magic community where they plan to discuss the matter. While she decides if she wants to walk in, she is met by a certain English mage/con-man who, well, I'm not really sure what Constantine was doing, other than making an appearance and trying to show that he was going to watch out for number one.
While Zatanna joins in on the meeting of the magic community, and in the process catches what seems to be a spy in their midst, Wonder Woman has traveled to The Oblivion Bar, in an effort to recruit more of the community to her side. But since the death of The Nightmaster, the bar has fallen on hard times. The only people there are Bobo, The Detective Chimp, and Traci Thirteen. Bobo takes up Wonder Woman's cause and the two leave for the Justice League Dark's headquarters where they meet and other "member" of the team. Before the end of the issue, the fledgling "team" is attacked, and circumstances force some who had turned down Wonder Woman's offer to reconsider.
James Tynion IV (Detective Comics, The Woods) attempts to take the idea of a magic team of heroes and solidify it into a Justice League of Magic. I realize that this was done before in the first Justice League Dark series which ran from 2011 through 2015, but this time is a little different. Tynion has grounded this team with a mainstream hero in the form of Wonder Woman, and that just feels a little odd. In previous series, there would be involvement from the mainstream heroes, but ultimately it was the duty of the mystics to get the job done. Here, the magic community is almost in denial and a hero is trying to goad them into action, with little result. That said, Tynion has included Detective Chimp and a rather peculiar Kirk Langstrom. Detective Chimp is a pleasure to read as he is a tragic character and seems to know it. He refuses to take advantage of his tragedy and that serves to endear him to the reader even more and make his plight that much more tragic. This interpretation of Kirk Langstrom is unique as well. I am not sure how long he has been in the state he appears here, but this appearance makes me want to know more about the character. And the bowtie, I love me some bowties.
The art work in this issue is served up with pencils by Alvaro Martinez Bueno (Robin War, Batman Eternal) and inks by Raul Fernandez (Detective Comics, Mystique). To be honest, it is a mixed bag. While the interpretations of Man-Bat & Swamp Thing are spectacular and worth the price of admission in and of themselves, the anatomy of many characters was plagued with problems. The colors by Brandon Anderson seemed to fix some of these issues, or at least attempt to, but even then the placement of colors to the original line work and shadow lines caused for some odd effects and flat surfaces. However, these are minor issues, and overall the book has solid art with nice details and panel construction.
Despite some issues, both in the writing and the art, Justice League Dark looks like it will most likely evolve into a must buy. Right now, there are just a few issues you may want to know about going it. However, the portrayal of several characters, Detective Chimp and Kirk Langstrom especially, is a treat and worth your time. Hopefully, the rest of the book will catch up with them.

A Jóság Tava
The history of Reiki – Dr. Hayashi – Mrs. Takata
The history of Reiki originates from the end of the XIX. century. However, very little of this version of the Reiki story is documented. All of the histories of Reiki come from the verbal stories passed with little or no hard evidence of Reiki. Everything started at a small christian university in Kyoto.
At the Doshisha Seminary a priest was preparing for his service. He was the teacher of a boy who asked him if he believed the Bible as it is one day. He answered "Yes". Then he asked if he believed in the miracles which Jesus did (healing, walking on water etc) without having experienced it. Being a Christian he answered "Yes". Then he asked if unquestioning faith is enough to believe.
It seems to be. You have created your opinion about things through your life that gives you sense of safety and self-confidence. In contrast with it we are at the beginning of our lives and we have to meditate about a lot of things. We would like to see such miracles with our very eyes. We do not only want to read about things like this but we would like to live it through.

Sprouts will feature
natural, organic foods
Store will open near I-29 and 64th St.
by Valerie Verkamp
Landmark assistant editor
Sprouts Farmers Market will host a grand opening on Wednesday, April 22 in the Village at Burlington Creek near I-29 and 64th Street in southern Platte County.
On the morning of the grand opening, the first 200 customers in line will receive 20 percent off their entire purchase.
But the offers don't end there. Every 15th customer in line will receive a coupon packet with special offers. All customers who shop the day of the grand opening will receive a free reusable bag and can take advantage of a number of dollar deals, which will be offered throughout the week.
The unique grocery store experience that consumers will encounter at Sprouts is said to mirror that of an old-fashioned indoor farmers market. Fresh produce, dairy, meat and seafood are displayed in a luminously lit 27,000 square foot store.
Consumers will find barrels loaded with 300 bulk food items strategically arranged inside the store. Wholesome gains, nuts, and sweets are among the items sold in bins.
"Consumers can buy as much as they want or as little as they need," said Janet Little, director of nutrition at Sprouts Farmers Market.
Consumers will find products sold throughout the store that have either been grown or produced locally. Little said buyers work hand-in-hand with local growers to offer a variety of local foods, especially seasonal crops.
For those looking for a quick meal on the go, Sprouts serves several grab'n 'go meals, including sushi and rotisserie chicken. Little says deli sandwiches are "one of the best value items for your buck."
Little said Sprouts Farmers Market encourages community members to practice healthier eating habits.
"Sprouts puts a lot of emphasis on educating our consumers," said Little. "At 10 a.m. on May 2, Sprouts will offer an in-store lecture about burning the belly fat and toning the belly." The event is hosted by a homeopathic doctor.
An array of fresh organic and gluten-free products can also be found at the fastest-growing retailer sweeping a 12-state area. Today, there are 200 stores, with the largest concentration located in the southwest region of the country.
Recently, Sprouts opened a store in Liberty, just off Highway 152.
Sprouts Farmers Market, located at 6061 NW 64th Street, is expected to employ a team of 100 people. Daily hours of operation are from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Sprouts opened its first store 13 years ago in Chandler, Arizona. They employ 18,000 people nationwide. Currently, Sprouts has three warehouse distribution centers. They are located in Glendale, AZ., Grand Prairie, TX, and Colton, CA.
In April of 2011, Sprouts merged with Henry's Farmers Market and Sun Harvest Farms. Just one year later, Sprouts merged with Sunflower Farmers Markets.
Sprouts' tagline states, "It is healthy living for less."

Every one knows wasabi, this green paste very hot eaten usually with sushi. Actually wasabi is a plant and the green paste is obtained from the stem, peeled and grated. In spring, the leaves of wasabi can be eaten. It's a delicate vibrant green leaf that is better slightly steamed or boiled and that accomodates very well rice and Japanese dishes.
I cooked it in a vegan version of a Japanese meal, with miso and sesame eggplants, pickled vegetables, rice with cereals and the wasabi leaves just steamed and served with ponzu.

Sub-zero temperatures, snow blizzards and a land of seemingly endless ice. It takes a lot to be able to survive on the Antarctic continent, but penguins know how and they sure do it in style. So today, we celebrate these super cool animals with some super cool snaps.
Recently, WWF's Antarctic Program Lead, Chris Johnson, went on an expedition down south, braving all of the above, to take these amazing photos that show the importance of protecting this beautiful and natural landscape.
Come behind-the-scenes with him as we explore the frosty homes of Antarctic penguins.
Rockin' It - GENTOO PENGUIN
Gentoo penguins are one of the few Antarctic species thriving under the rapid warming conditions in the region. Climate change means sea ice is decreasing rapidly. As a result, populations of the ice-adapted Adélie are generally declining, whereas populations of the ice-averse gentoo penguin are increasing.
Fly in - fly out - A SKUA AND A GENTOO PENGUIN
A skua surprises a gentoo penguin on the ice. The penguin is right to be wary as skuas feed on gentoo penguin eggs.
Just passing through - GENTOO PENGUIN AMONG SOUTHERN ELEPHANT SEAL
A gentoo penguin waddles (cautiously) amongst a colony of southern elephant seals.
Nearly camouflaged - CHINSTRAP PENGUIN
Antarctic marine life live in one of the most extreme environments on the planet.
To make matters worse, increasing pressure to grow commercial krill fishing along the Antarctic Peninsula would continue to upset the delicate natural balance.
Go with the flow - SOUTHERN GIANT PETREL
A southern giant petrel soars high in the sky. Big wingspan and a huge bill, they remind me of albatross or mollyhawks.
Hangers on - HUMPBACK WHALE
Feeding humpback whales filled Fournier Bay, Antarctica Peninsula.
Cool nap - WEDDELL SEAL
Weddell seals are incredibly placid, sedentary animals. I was able to approach this individual to take this photo without any apparent stress at all.
Me with WWF-Australia CEO Dermot O'Gorman high above the glacier in Neko Harbour, Antarctica Peninsula. For me, there is no place like it on Earth.
WWF is calling for 30% of the seas surrounding Antarctica to be protected by 2030. The Antarctic Peninsula and its amazing wildlife is under increasing pressure from climate change, krill fishing and a growing tourism industry.
Antarctic icebergs come in different colours - blue, jade green, white, yellow, even striped with multicolour. Blue bergs are frozen fresh water. Made from thousands of years of snow falling on the plateau.
WWF is using new technologies to better understand where whales feed. Help protect these Antarctic giants before it's too late and take action.

Klais Organ
Through the gifts and hard work of many people, our sanctuary is blessed with a custom pipe organ, built in the traditional style by Johannes Klais Orgelbau GmbH & Co., in Bonn, Germany. The organ was built at Klais' German workshop in 1985, disassembled and shipped to the United States, then reassembled on site in 1986. After 30 years of use, the organ underwent restoration. Click here for pictures of the restoration process.
For the organ enthusiast, read below details of our Klais organ and its builders:
The Organ
The organ's 29 voices are comprised of 42 ranks, for a total of 2,163 pipes, controlled by 29 draw knob stop controls.
The pipes are made of a variety of woods and different alloys of tin and lead, with generous amounts of tin being used. The various materials directly influence the kind of tone the pipes are intended to produce. All pipes are hand made and were voiced in the Christ Church Sanctuary by an artist voicer to fit its particular acoustics and musical needs. The pipes vary in size from approximately sixteen feet in length, with a diameter large enough to encompass a basketball, to less than one half inch long with the diameter of a thin soda straw.
Each organ division exhibits a useful balance of the four categories of tone normally found in the modern organ: Principal, flute, string, and reed. In order to further exploit the tonal ingredients a very few voices are made playable in both the Great and Pedal divisions.
The instrument is built with "tracker" action, that is, the keys are directly linked mechanically to the pipe valves of each division so that the player literally feels a greater sense of intimacy with and control of her instrument. The console itself is detached from the main case so as to give the organist a better perception of the balance of sound being produced. The organ and console cases are made of solid oak, lightly stained. The organ case supports the windchests and principal mechanical parts of the organ without the use of a separate building frame.
The carved pipe screens or shades are made of wood and are covered with 22 carat gold leaf.
The Builder
The Bonn organ building firm Johannes Klais KG was founded in 1882 by master organ builder Johannes Klais, Sr. (1852-1925). Born not far from Bonn, he served his apprenticeship principally with Koulen in Strasburg. Study trips took him through South Germany, Switzerland, and France.
At first Johannes Klais, Sr., built sliderchests exclusively, with mechanical key and stop actions. Following the trend of the times he changed over in 1894 to cone-valve chests with mechanical key actions, and in 1897 changed again to building such chests with pneumatic action. He designed his organ cases himself in neo-romantic and neo-gothic style. They were made by his own specially employed artist cabinet makers and wood carvers.
Johannes, called Hans Klais (1890-1956), the only son of Johannes Klais, Sr., in 1921 took over the direction of the organization. Hans Klais learned organbuilding with his father. Hans completed a four year study of psychology, the psychology of sound, and art history. His study trips took him into many countries, but primarily to France where he became especially well acquainted with the magnificent organs of Aristide Cavaille-Coll.
In the 1940s the grandson of the founder, Johannes Gerhard, called Hans Gerd Klais, trained with his father in organ building, taking over management of the company in 1965. Hans Gerd became a member of the board of the Gesellschafter der Orgelfreunde (Society of Friends of the Organ), a board member of the Bund Deutscher Orgelbaumeister (Association of German Master Organbuilders), and was received into the Deutschherrenbund (Knights of the Teutonic Order). Under his direction, our pipe organ was designed and built.
Philipp Klais, the great-grandson of the founder, having grown up in the midst of the workshops, studied in Alsace, in Germany, and overseas. For some years he worked closely with his father, before he took over in 1995. Phillip works together with a young team, bringing fresh ideas and hands-on experience. The fourth Klais generation continues the commitment to build instruments of character and of high tonal and aesthetic standards.
Organ Terminology
Tracker Action – A purely mechanical action between keys and pipe valves, controlled mostly by the acceleration, velocity, and mass of the hand and fingers of the player.
Swell – The top keyboard of a two manual organ.
Great – The bottom keyboard of a two manual organ.
Swell Box – An enclosure of wood, concrete, or metal for the purpose of permitting the organist to control loudness by means of a swell pedal that opens and closes a set of venetian shutters in front of the pipes.
Rank of Pipes – A single row of pipes controlled by a stop.
Timbre – This is tone quality in its widest sense.
Swell Stop List:
- Gedeckt 8′ – A flute rank of metal pipes. The tone is not intense or loud. It blends well with softer stops such as strings or other flutes.
- Salicional 8′ – A string rank of metal pipes. It is the most common string stop on an organ.
- Voix Celeste 8′ – A string rank of metal pipes tuned slightly sharp to give an undulating effect with the salicional rank and a blending effect with the flute ranks.
- Blockflote 4′ – A metal flute rank used with other flutes or higher tonal combination.
- Principal 4′ – a metal rank of pipes, of softer foundation stop.
- Octavin 2′ – A foundation rank of metal pipes at the 2 foot level.
- Terz – A metal rank of foundation pipes that speak three notes above the key depressed, e.g. Middle C would sound at E.
- Nazard 2 2/3 – Another metal rank of pipes important for vitality of sound and most of all – unity of sound. It speaks at the notes one octave and a fifth above the keys struck. There is no practical limit to the varieties of effect that the Nazard can give to the organ's tone.
- Dulcian – An imitative Reed, in timbre a reedy but not piercing tone. It is equally useful on manuals and pedals. It might be called a device for emphasis as well as an adjunct to the less bright flute tones of the organ. It is heard in Baroque as well as Classical organs of all sizes.
- Hautboise Orchestral Oboe 8′ – a rank of metal reed pipes, used in solo melodies.
- Scharff – A metal rank (mixture) of pipes with a sharp effect on the ear. This rank adds brilliance and is to be used with reeds or louder flutes.

First off, let me say that all the pictures I have of Judah's birthday party suck. I thought I was being all smart by not using the flash and messing up the colors of the pictures. But what I was really doing was taking 327 blurry pictures. Okay, maybe not 327. But a lot of blurry pictures. So that's my 'no you're not going blind these pictures just suck' disclaimer.
You might remember that the theme we chose for Judah's birthday party was 'Planes, Trains & Automobiles' and I showed you here what some of my ideas were. These were all
stolen fromPinterest original ideas.
As for the day of the party, we had a couple cousins spend the night with us the night before, so we had to get a couple shots of all the boys in their Batman pajamas. Don't they look cute?? Then the girls wanted in there, too. Not technically superheroes, but don't try and tell Eden that. The train was made by my dad and his wife back in November for use at my younger sister's twins' birthday party. (Confused yet?) Dad's been storing it since then and we got some more use out of it!
As soon as our guests walked in, they saw our 'Baggage Claim' table. These little favors were just cheap-o paper lunch sacks with red, yellow, and green dots glued to the front. Each bag held a toy car, boat, individual-sized M&M package, car tattoos and a little bottle of bubbles. Yes, that traffic cone is the only transportation-related décor on that buffet. And no, I still haven't done anything about those cords. : )
And here is our Goodie Train. I tried a couple of different things to get this to work, starting out by wrapping cardstock around the plastic containers and gluing it on at the top edge. That did not work. At all. Then I had the genius idea to use wrapping paper! I had just picked up this heavyweight wrapping paper at TJ Maxx in the last few weeks and decided it was perfect. Add on the black wheels and signs and you've got yourself a snack train! I used an empty Goldfish box for the engine and added some cotton batting for smoke. (Mr. Bug was
dumb kind enough to point out that nobody uses steam engines anymore, which earned him a death stare big kiss.)
More blurry photography, this time the 'Lumber Car' holding pretzel rods and the 'Refrigerated Car' full of fruit and dip.
And it tastes good, too!
One last thing I did that I'm really glad I made time for was this picture collage of The Boy. It was so neat to be able to look at all these snippets of him changing from a tiny infant to the little man I know now. Such a beautiful boy!
And there you have it! Judah's Planes, Trains & Automobiles Birthday Party Extravaganza! I've got to say it was really hard for me to get myself to start working on this one but I had so much fun making this day special for my little boy!

Huffington Post / 27 June 2018
Enough trees to fill 44 football fields were lost from tropical forests every minute of every day during 2017 as the world racked up its second worst year for global tree cover loss, according to new data from the University of Maryland published by the World Resources Institute.
The worst year was 2016, when a strong El Niño ― a weather event that causes both droughts and floods ― was in play. Even so, fire, chainsaws and disaster erased about 37 million acres (58,000 square miles) of tropical forest in 2017, an area larger than Bangladesh.
The scale of the devastation left WRI experts scrambling for metaphors to convey the "total inadequacy" of the current conservation picture.

- How We Review Cookware Sets
- Overview of Material Types
"What you want to look for are quality sets that emphasize even cooking, quality materials, and versatility in its usage"
What Is a Cookware Set?
Cookware sets consist of several pieces of pots and pan sets bundled together with similar look and design. Many are 10-14 piece sets and can range in cost and quality. As with most things, it is best to find the right price point for the best value and that is our goal with this comprehensive cookware set guide.
There are several brands out there that you can choose from that are typical of what I would call the "Wal-Mart Brand". These include brands such as T-Fal, who I would recommend you avoid.
Be mindful when making your purchasing decision that you do not opt for a cheaper set that will cause grief down the line. Rarely do we have the opportunity to make a purchase that is expected to last 5, 10, 20 years. This is one of those times.
So take my experience as a 20-year chef in both high end and mom-and-pop shops on which sets to choose. There is a set for everyone.

All-Clad is a favorite of mine for several reasons. One, it is an American Made product that is focused on high-quality products. It is always the dream of the chef to have these types of high-quality products in the kitchen but due to price, it is usually left for consumer buyers. All-clad pots and pans is a set to get if you're looking to impress.
All-clad pots and pans are a buy-it-once product that you will pass on down. It has a 5-ply design made from 100% American stainless steel. It is layered alternately with aluminum and stainless steel, providing an unmatched conductive and even heating product. It has a lifetime warranty and safe for up to 500'F. This is my choice if I were buying a cookware set in 2019.

What Makes It Great
Owning copper pans and copper pots are the desire of many chefs and home cooks alike. They suffer from some drawbacks. Too heavy to use in a commercial kitchen. Too expensive to keep on hand. Too soft to handle the heavy duty. There are only a few reasons why one would choose the best copper cookware set and that is for show. Now, don't get me wrong. Nothing beats the conductivity and even heating of copper cookware. But with the alternatives available, it is hard to justify unless the flash is your game.
The Fleischer & Wolf Copper set is one of the best copper cookware sets available right now and that is due to a few reasons. One, it has a triple-ply core of copper, aluminum and stainless steel. This means it is a heavy bottomed, high conducting and high-quality cookware set. The copper is not just for show. It provides fantastic heat dispersion and is a dream to cook with – especially on a gas stove. The hammered aesthetic is beautiful and is backed by durable stainless steel to bolster strength and longevity. If you are dead set on getting a copper cookware set, this is your model. Others options are just too ambiguous and often are copper for show only with aluminum or pure stainless steel bottoms. This has the best of both worlds and is a good brand name to rely on.
Product Summary
- Copper, Aluminum, Stainless steel core
- Triple Ply
- Beautiful design
- Excellent conductivity
How We Review Our Cookware Sets
Durability means different things to different people. To us, it means how long we expect it to function as intended. Long term use without the need for repairs, replacement or warranty is important. Cookware needs to be useful for many applications such as stove-to-oven use, high heat, and cleaning resistant. Although material plays a big role in these things, quality and durability impact a much larger scale.
The design of the product is important due to how difficult it is to the manufacturer. It can also say what compromises happened to keep a specific design, and how well it can conduct heat. Engineering and design, in this case, are interchangeable.
Getting the best bang for your buck can be difficult when choosing the right cookware set. Some cookware set prices are very low which can lead us to ask why. Some products priced high can be questionable. You may not know if you will utilize or need all the features it offers.
Price is important to consider. Too low and you risk a substandard product. Too high and you may overpay for features you don't need. Our recommendations take this into careful consideration. Use an approach that offers the best quality for the lowest price. Are there cheaper options? Of course, but the compromises may outweigh the savings.
Try to balance your own price tolerance with your needs accordingly. I typically use a buy-it-once approach to these types of purchases, and I encourage you to as well.
Types of Cookware Materials
Stainless Steel
Stainless steel conducts and retains heat poorly. It is a hard, durable metal which makes up for some of its shortcomings. Stainless steel is great for holding foods and for low-temperature cooking. This helps where hot spots or scorching are not problems. Many essential kitchen tools guides include stainless steel pots and pans. Stainless steel pots and pans can be had with aluminum or copper bonded bottoms or with an aluminum layered core. Such cookware gives the rapid, uniform heat conductivity of copper and aluminum. It also gives the strength and durability of stainless steel.
Cast Iron
Cast-iron cookware distributes heat evenly and holds high temperatures very well. Use it often in griddles and large skillets. Although inexpensive, cast iron is heavy and brittle. If using in a commercial kitchen, keep it properly conditioned and dry to prevent rust.
Glass retains heat well but conducts heat poorly. It does not react with foods. Tempered glass is suitable for microwave cooking, as long as it does not have any metal on it. If you are in a commercial kitchen, you will want to avoid glass. These are not an essential kitchen tool as much as they are essential for a home chef. Thorough cleaning and total shut down occurs if glass breaks in a commercial kitchen.
Use ceramics, including earthenware, porcelain, and stoneware. Using them primarily for baking dishes, casseroles, and baking stones. This is because they conduct heat uniformly and hold temperatures well. Ceramics are nonreactive, inexpensive and suitable for microwave use. Cermicas are easily chipped or cracked and should not be used over direct flame. Quick temperature changes can cause the ceramic cookware to crack or shatter.
Plastic containers are used frequently for food storage or service. They cannot be used for heating or cooking, except in a microwave oven.
Do not use pans lined with enamel for commercial cooking. In many areas, their use in commercial kitchens is prohibited by law. The enamel can chip or crack easily, providing areas for bacteria to grow. Also, chemicals used to bond the enamel to the cookware can cause food poisoning if ingested.
Non-stick Coatings
Without affecting a metal's ability to conduct heat, a plastic known as Teflon and Silverstone may be applied to many types of cookware. It provides a slippery, nonreactive finish that prevents food from sticking and allows the use of less fat in cooking.
Do not use non-stick cookware on high heat and be mindful not to use metal utensils as it can scratch or chip the coating.

To Latch Or Not To Latch
Hello again fellas! I have a little question/observation. I am fairly new to the wonders of plc programming. I probably started self study at work and at home about two years ago almost exclusively on AB rslogix and feel that I have become fairly proficient at discrete type programming. I have yet to venture into analog or pid stuff yet but I will save that for another time.
What I have noticed during my studies is for reasons unknown to myself until just recently, is I have always favored latching outputs, bits etc using a branch as opposed to the OTL and OTU instructions. Recently while troubleshooting a program at work that had many otl and otu instructions I think it has dawned on me as to why they were never popular with me. The reason is troubleshooting. My feeble mind finds it very distracting to have to jump back and forth in the program finding all the latches and unlatches for a particular output.
Now for my questions.... Which method do you seasoned guys prefer? and also do other manufactures programming software contain their own versions of the OTL and OTU instructions? I can't stay here tonight but I look forward to reading your replies Tomorrow.
good night gentlemen! And happy Halloween!

I don't have a problem with either method. Each has their pluses and minuses.
If your code is really modular then handling latch/unlatch is pretty straight forward and really easy to troubleshoot.
As in the case for any PLC programming, careful planning (organization) rules the day.
There will be plenty of others that say NO! NO! NEVER USE LATCH/UNLATCH!
Those are guys that have been burned by their own inadequate planning.
Latch & Unlatch are reasonable tools to use... otherwise... why do they exist?
It boils down to careful usage and organization... just like anything else in programming.
|October 29th, 2004, 07:37 PM
And you're not doing it wrong, either. The use of latches is, in a lot of cases, the preference of the programmer. Now, there are times when one is more sensible than the other, and some instances where one is necessary. But the beauty of programming is you can basically program in a signature style all your own. As you program more you'll start to notice where the differences I mentioned above come into play.

To Latch Or Not To Latch
I vote to latch, it always starts out simple and ends up complicated anyway. banghead zzzzz

I use both methods. As Terry stated, each one has their advantages/disadvantages.
When I use latch and unlatch, I try to keep them on adjacent rungs, so you don't run into the troubleshooting headaches that you mention.
|October 29th, 2004, 08:00 PM
Now that I've had time to think about it, I don't thinks I likes latch and unlatch.
I think if I need a latch, I will just use a holding contact like in the relay logic days.
But then, I still think relays have a future.
|October 29th, 2004, 08:54 PM
Eric hit it right on the head....the key to OTL and OTU are keeping them in the same proximity in the code for a given coil, preferrably in adjacent rungs...some people claim OTL and OTU is a little more spaghetti like, but I disagree....I use them when I can, don't be afraid to if you have well thought out code.

Though in RSlogix, the right-click find all button reduces the headache significantly.
(Not a RSL pom pom, its just that I do most of my programming with it and haven't used much else lately)
|October 29th, 2004, 09:36 PM
When I use them (seldom), I like them on adjacent rungs.
I think some guys will keep then distant just to confuse people or for job security.

I'm pretty much like everyone else, I use both; and I keep the latch/unlatches together. The latch & unlatch command is really a set and clear function. Many other programming interfaces have these commands, I know Tisoft does, and Foxboro DCS has the set/clear function also.
|October 30th, 2004, 07:10 AM
I use latch&Unlatch with AB because that the only option AB offer for retentive relaye when the power is go off&on.
I dont like to use latch&Unlatch even it "make sense"
You need to write your code in a way you can easily see when you latch certain bit and where you unlatch.
You also need to unlatch all when the power go on or under certain conditions.

I typically use latches on occasion, but I try to avoid over-using them.
Some of my customers specify that latches are forbidden in their code (I believe it's in a DaimlerChrysler spec. somewhere). I suspect that they do that for troubleshooting/readability reasons.

I avoid latching and unlatching coils, and resetting bits through other kinds of manipulation. That is for the very reason you identify - troubleshooting is simplified. A holding contact is much more obvious, and you can more easily keep track of what is going on and why things are behaving the way they are.
I do occassionally use them, but only when it represents a significant advantage in the logic (which is seldom) and then I comment the heck out of the code and try to keep them in close proximity in the code.

but dont forget the SAFETY issue ...
Greetings to all,
besides all of the other aspects of to latch or not to latch being discussed here, one EXTREMELY important characteristic of latches which has not been specifically mentioned is the retentive nature of these beasts ...
these guys did mention something about the subject in passing ...
from Rube in post #3:
suppose that programmer Sam likes the seal-in type of construction ... and Sam has programmed the saw in the figure below ...
suppose that programmer Greg likes the latch/unlatch type of construction as his personal favorite ... and Greg has programmed the grinder in the figure below ...
and both machines having been working fine for a very long time now ... the start buttons start ... the stop buttons stop ... the boss is making money ... what more could we ask for? ...
now suppose that while the saw and the grinder are both happily running along, the electrical power to the building suddenly dies ... naturally all of the machinery comes to a halt ... the question is, folks: what is going to happen when the power eventually comes back on? ...
well, the saw motor will NOT start back up automatically ... BUT (and heres the punch-line) ... the grinder motor WILL start back up just as soon as the power comes back on ... and that could be a BIG safety issue ...
now ... I know that Im going to get a bunch of posts saying stuff like: well you should have OTHER things (mechanical interlocks, etc., etc., etc.) to prevent the grinder from coming back on ... Im not going to debate all of that ... the major point here, folks, is that there are some BIG differences between the way seal-in constructions and latch/unlatch constructions behave ... the example above is meant to demonstrate that concept in an easy-to-visualize way ...
the book says that the latches are retentive but doesnt do much in the way of explaining (from a safety standpoint) just what the term retentive means ... basically it means that you can write a program using latches and unlatches which will perform flawlessly in the shop ... and work perfectly when you commission the machine ... and function faultlessly when the customer accepts the machine and puts it into use ... BUT ... if you havent adequately considered the retentive nature of the latch/unlatch construction, then you could conceivably have a ticking time-bomb on your hands ...
now I know that some people dont like latches ... and some even flatly refuse to use them at all ... but now lets go one step further and think about this next angle ...
suppose that we use a Recirculation Pump for our next example ... suppose that this particular recirculation pump is necessary to keep our nuclear reactor cool ... now if we were to unwisely use the seal-in approach to program its control, then every time the electrical power flickered, someone would need to go over and press the start button to bring the pump back on again ... so this would be a natural place to use a latch/unlatch construction ... because the latches are retentive ... they retain their ON status when the processor is power-cycled ... so a latched-on construction would definitely be a better (SAFER) way to program our recirculation pump ...
and please, folks, dont jump on my case about how to REALLY control a nuclear power plant ... we all know that Im just trying to come up with some interesting examples to illustrate these programming concepts ...
next ... a basically true story ... suppose that a customer has programmed his lumber mill using seal-in rungs to help the processor remember where the logs are located ... so when a log moves past Limit Switch A, he seals-in bit B3/22 ... this means there is a log in position A ... when the log moves past Limit Switch B, he unseals bit B3/22 ... this means that Position A is empty and ready for the hydraulic ram to feed in another log ... now suppose that the ram has just shoved a log into Position A ... so bit B3/22 is set (1) ... but then the power to the plant flickers ... what happens to B3/22? ... since hes using a seal-in rung construction, B3/22 gets reset (0) ... oops! ... the PLC thinks that Position A is empty ... the hydraulic ram shoves in an extra log and does about $4,000 damage to the saw ...
this would have been a good place to have used a latched-on type rung construction ...
and so in summation ... in addition to all of the perfectly valid keep the controls together and latches and unlatches are neater than seal-ins and seal-ins are easier to troubleshoot arguments, there ARE some important SAFETY issues to consider when deciding whether to latch or not to latch ...
finally ... for those who want to dig even deeper into this subject, much of what Ive included here (and much more) can be found in this previous thread about pre-scan ... for inquiring minds, it might make for some interesting reading ...

Solved! Go to Solution.

Hi, I have the bthomebub4, plus some spare sky wireless boosters. I am trying to enable the sky boosters onto the BT broadband at home.
Reason, the BThub seems to have a really poor range in the house and has created a number of black spots (more than the sky hub)
What I have done: connected the sky wireless boosters to BT home hub via Ethernet and attempted a WPS connection. This does not work, wifi light on sky booster does not come on and it will not work wirelessly
Tried to manually set up connection to laptop and does not enable me to connect to skywirelessbosster.local page. It just hangs.
odd results: with sky booster connected to BT hub via Ethernet, I can see it as a wireless connection and able to connect to it. Strange thing, Internet seems faster connected to sky booster than directly to BT Hub.
Hope that is enough information for someone to help, but please fire more questions if needed.
Based on what you have posted it looks as if you are not following the SKY Wireless Booster (SWB) setup manual.
Download this from the Sky website.
You should not be connecting the SWB to the hub via ethernet.
Do not use WPS to setup the SWB.
Reset the SWB first and then setup manually.
To manually setup the SWB you need to connect the SWB to a laptop with an ethernet cable.
You should then be able to connect to the SWB.local page.
Follow the manual for further instructions.
Report progress please.
A pdf manual can be downloaded at: http://storage.sky.com/prod/helpcentre/manuals/skybroadband/SB601_Wireless_Booster_Set-Up_Guide_Upda...
When setting up the SWB using a laptop connected by ethernet, it says (on page 11) to "Ensure that the green and amber lights on the back of your Wireless Booster are on or flashing. If neither green or amber lights are on, please turn off the Wi-Fi on your computer/laptop."

Further update ...
1. Reset wireless booster again
2. Connected to a laptop via Ethernet
3. Tried to load page "skywirelessbooster.local"
4. Now get a logon page asking for a password, I used "sky" as the password
5. Page then hangs and eventually says "page timed out: http://skywirelessbooster.local/main.html"
If you have done things correctly then the "password" is the wireless key of the Home HUb 4.
Did you get a list of Wireless Networks ?
OK, so attempts today, so for clarity this is the logon page i am trying to get past -hope the image below is shown.
the only password that does not generate an "incorrect password" is when I type "sky" as the password. I have tried the BTbtoadhand network and admin password but to no avail.
I am still connecting directly to a laptop via Ethernet, as advised by an earlier post not to use WPS. At the moment i do do get to see a list of networks
this page is displayed after i type "skywirelessbooster.local" in the address bar
This was posted on another web site (by a sky user!) - with some edits by me - you probably need steps 3-5:
1. connect your booster to your lap top or computer then plug in mains
2. type http://skywirelessbooster.local in your browser bar the page should be there
3. if not, on the back of your booster reset with small pin push in and hold untill power and net lights start to flash then stop wait for power button to turn white
4. then type in address again and you will find this will work
5. find the name of your wireless network click on and then put your password and click connect

The dry sunny weather has been great for everyone but not the gardens. The weather gurus are suggesting our winning weather streak will break over the next few days. You could pout or stamp your foot … or head to the cinema and take in a summer blockbuster or quirky indie. It can't rain nonstop so plan some outdoor time as well – a hike, a game of tennis and maybe a picnic.
Since the weather may be steamy, a picnic is a great idea!
Toast up some pita and slice some veggies and serve them with my tasty Feta Walnut Spread. Add a glass of wine and a few Spicy Olives.
You'll want a nice salad for the main course. Try my latest creation – Grilled Shrimp & Vegetable Salad. (I've set the recipe up for a romantic dinner for two with lots of leftover veggies and Salsa Verde. If you're feeling more social than romantic, just add some more shrimp. You should have enough veggies and salsa for six people.) You can keep it lean with shrimp and vegetables or add a spoonful of my Couscous with Dried Fruit and Pine Nuts.
When it comes to dessert, there are still strawberries at the local farm stand. How about some berries with my delicious Lavender Infused White Chocolate Crème!
Thundershowers or not, have a great weekend and bon appétit!
What are your plans for the weekend? I'd love to hear from you! Let's get a conversation going.

Juvenile Great-crested Grebe
The weather for this morning's walk was super, being warm (16 degrees) and sunny on arrival, and rising to 20 degrees by the time we left. As a result, there was a great deal of insect activity around the site with 4 species of butterfly, 4 species of moth seen along with several bumblebees, 2 species of damselfly and 1 species of dragonfly. The butterflies were: Small Tortoiseshell (2), Large White (3), Meadow Brown (20+) and Small Skipper (1).
Small Tortoiseshell
Moths seen were: Large Yellow Underwing (1), Silver Y (2), Brown China Mark (1) and caterpillars of Cinnabar Moth.
Cinnabar Moth caterpillars
Damselflies seen were: Common Blue (10+) and Blue-tailed (1 male). The Common Blues were the most numerous, and included males, one pair "in tandem" and at least 2 "teneral" or newly emerged individuals, lacking the colour of the mature damselflies.

Biogen to Acquire NightStar Therapeutics' Ophthalmology Therapies for $800m
Biogen has announced it will acquire Nightstar Therapeutics for around $800m, providing the pharma giant with a pipeline of gene therapy candidates for ophthalmology. The deal is set to be complete by the middle of 2019.
The acquisition of Nightstar gives Biogen the small company's lead asset, NSR-REP1, a treatment for treatment of rare and degenerative, X-linked inherited retinal disorder choroideremia (CHM). Currently there are no treatments for CHM. NSR-REP1 is comprised of an AAV vector administered by subretinal injection, and provides a functioning CHM gene and expression of the REP-1 protein to restore membrane trafficking.
Nightstar additionally has in its pipeline an AAV-based treatment for X-linked retinitis pigmentosa (XLRP), another rare inherited retinal disease which affects males and currently has no approved treatments.

Sterling, stocks rise after UK construction survey
[LONDON] Sterling and Britain's blue chip stock index rose to a day's high on Friday after a survey showed the downturn in the construction sector was easing, boosting expectations that the economy is holding up well after the Brexit vote.
The Markit/CIPS UK Construction Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) rose to 49.2 from 45.9 in July, still below the 50 mark dividing growth and contraction but beating all forecasts in a Reuters poll.
Sterling rose to a high of US$1.3295, up from around US$1.3275 before the survey was released. It hit a four-week high of US$1.3318 on Thursday. The euro weakened to a day's low of 84.16 pence, having traded at 84.29 pence beforehand.
Britain's blue-chip FTSE 100 index was last quoted 0.5 per cent higher.
The construction PMI followed data on Thursday that showed the British manufacturing sector staging one of its sharpest rebounds on record. The Markit/CIPS manufacturing PMI jumped to a 10-month high of 53.3 in August, recovering from the three-year low it hit in July.

Entropy-type conditions for Riemann solvers at nodes
Mauro Garavello and Benedetto Piccoli
This paper deals with conservation laws on networks, represented by graphs. Entropy-type conditions are considered to determine dynamics at nodes. Since entropy dispersion is a local concept, we consider a network composed by a single node $J$ with $n$ incoming and $m$ outgoing arcs. We extend at $J$ the classical Kružkov entropy obtaining two conditions, denoted by (E1) and (E2), the first requiring entropy condition for all Kružkov entropies, the second only for the value corresponding to a sonic point. First we show that in the case $n \ne m$, no Riemann solver can satisfy the strongest condition. Then we characterize all the Riemann solvers at $J$ satisfying the strongest condition (E1), in the case of nodes with at most two incoming and two outgoing arcs. Finally we focus three different Riemann solvers, introduced in previous papers. In particular, we show that the Riemann solver introduced for data networks is the only one always satisfying (E2).

Body shaming and snide comments are not helpful especially from one woman to another. We should be better encouragers. That said, when a woman is this size she is not making healthy choices. A friend (not a stranger) should privately express concern to her for her heart health as well as the many cancer risks she could be in for.Delete
I think she looks really nice and I like the skirt.ReplyDelete
The only point I would make is that her make-up looks quite heavy/ dark in some pictures.

Glad you posted this engagement of Sophie. Many times it is hard to find pictures of her engagements. I really like this outfit. I usually do not care for the longer skirt, but it works here with the longer turtleneck. Thank you Anon 10:14 for the information regarding the gold threads in the skirt. I bet it is really pretty.ReplyDelete

I am confused by her outfit - turtleneck at a reception where she is hosting (it's not like she was coming from the cold outside)? I don't think that counts as a fashion statement. And the skirt may be Temperley, but it still doesn't make it remarkable nor interesting. In combination with the turtle neck - it's not even a good casual Friday look. Sometimes I just believe these royal ladies try too hard - whether it is so that they look more "approachable" or to show they can re-wear; whatever it was that compelled Sophie to show up like this - it's a complete miss for me. Disappointing, I usually like her style a lot. I guess we all have our misses.ReplyDelete
Gilberte Lambrechts debe ser Miss Universo. Hace unos días atacaba a Letizia por delgada y hoy a esta Sra rubia por gorda. Qué vergüenza.ReplyDelete
I don't care for the skirt Sophie is wearing . Add that turtleneck and I wonder what kind of fashion this event is about. I won't comment on the some of the other ladies outfits....ReplyDelete

Daily intake of walnuts can reduce cardiovascular diseases, impair prostate cancer risk and improve male fertility; this was said by Medical experts in Lagos on Wednesday.
The medical experts highlighted to newsmen that seasonal fruits are very beneficial when consumed because they contain health benefits that could reduce infertility in persons who eat them.
Rains Hospital's gynaecologist, Dr. Oriola Idris said infertility and sub-fertility is a burden to a lot of individuals that affects a whole lot of persons in unknowing ways.
"Walnuts are part of foods that can enhance men's fertility; other seasonal fruits are also packed with a lot of health benefits.
"It contains high antioxidant content along with numerous micro-nutrients that may boost male fertility.
"The nuts have vital nutrients such as plant-based Omega-3 fatty acid known as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is necessary for the improvement of reproductive health in men.
"Consuming a high amount of ALA derived from walnuts has been linked to a reduction of aneuploidy occurrence or the abnormal production of sperm cell chromosomes.
"Being a rich source of a-linolenic acid, a natural plant source of Omega-3, eating about 75 grammes of walnuts daily can help improve sperm quality, sperm vitality, motility and morphology," he said.
Emphasis on walnuts health benefits was also highlighted by a nutrition biochemist Mrs Remi Esunrunoso. She indicated that people should also develop the habit of eating always because of its numerous health benefits.
She said that a daily consumption of walnuts for a three months period can substantially increase sperm count and male fertility.
"We know that walnut is a seasonal fruit, but it is usually available in the market all the year round.
"Studies have shown that this fruit can reduce many sicknesses in the body.
"Walnuts contain many variants of Vitamin B: Folate at 115 mcg, B6 at 600 mcg and thiamin at 400 mcg.
"Walnuts are also high in manganese, selenium, potassium, magnesium, calcium and phytosterols. That is why they can cure many cardiovascular diseases.
"Walnuts may help to reduce not only the risk of prostate cancer, but breast cancer as well.
"Walnuts also contain the amino acid l-arginine, which offers multiple vascular benefits to people with heart disease, or those who have increased risk of heart diseases due to multiple cardiac risk factors.
"Walnuts contain several unique and powerful antioxidants that are available in only a few commonly eaten foods.
"It also helps in weight control and offers support for brain development and type 2 diabetes.
