CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 22, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Icagen, Inc., a global provider of drug discovery and development services, today announced that it has completed a company name change from XRpro Sciences, Inc. to Icagen, Inc. The Icagen brand was originally re-launched on July 2, 2015 through XRpro Science's acquisition of assets related to the ion channel biology platform from Pfizer Inc. (NYSE: PFE) that had previously been obtained as part of Pfizer's 2011 acquisition of the then publicly traded company, Icagen, Inc.
Icagen services focus on ion channel and transporter drug discovery and development, harnessing its industry leading scientific expertise and extensive portfolio of assays, cell lines and technologies including its proprietary, XRpro® label free technology.
"The full integration of the acquired technology and staff into our existing operations is progressing extremely smoothly," says Richie Cunningham, Chief Executive Officer of the new Icagen, Inc. "We are fully operational at both our Cambridge, MA and Research Triangle Park, NC facilities and have already begun collaborations with several pharmaceutical companies."
"The re-launch of Icagen has been met with favorable interest from the pharmaceutical and biotech research community," says Douglas Krafte, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer of the new Icagen, Inc. "We believe companies are recognizing the experience we bring to the table and that working with Icagen could improve the efficiency and quality of their ion channel and transporter small molecule pipelines."
Icagen also noted the launch of the company's new website, which provides additional information on the company, its technology, and services, at http://www.icagen.com.
About Icagen, Inc.

Why you should cool it on hot yoga
Perfomed in studios heated to 40ºC, it is the trendy yoga designed to open your pores - and your purse.
But a study has found that hot yoga, also known as bikram yoga, is no better for you than doing it at room temperature.
The practice, which was developed in the 1960s, is popular with sports stars David Beckham and Andy Murray, as well as actresses Demi Moore and Anne Hathaway.
Yoga practitioners claim the heat causes blood vessels to dilate, lowering blood pressure, which could protect against heart attacks and strokes.
This might also delay hardening of the arteries, which leads to a heart attack or stroke. Some also claim the heat can help to burn calories faster.
However, a Texas State University experiment that examined the blood vessels of those doing hot yoga and normal yoga found no difference in function. Instead, yoga postures are responsible for better health, and not the temperature.
The study, published in Experimental Physiology, found exercise forces the lining of blood vessels to dilate, and so the benefits are the same as traditional yoga.Daily Mail

John 11 and Psalm 11By: Darrelyn L. TuttThe word "Rhema" is a special and uncommon word reserved for a special utterance. How beautifully it attaches itself to our Savior's words, who gives us life-giving Rhema words daily, hourly, and moment by moment.We weave our "three strand" study format into our communion with Christ in order to become empowered, engaged, and employed for His service.1) PRAYERIlluminating Father,Thou who opened the eyes of the blind,Who cast out demons,Who gavest Thy people bread,Who raised to life the dead;Illuminate the eyes of my soul that I might see.Let the holy and deep provision of Thy pure word sanctify, cleanse, and enlighten me.Be pleased to let Thy holy light pass into me.Be pleased to let Thy blessing be dispersed visibly and forcibly upon me.Bless this child and intersect this day with needul sight, warmth of light, and internal illumination.Amen.-------2) TODAY'S READ:John 11 and Psalm 11The "Oreo" practice of situating the creamy white of the Gospel into the blessed wafers of the Psalm is deliciously addictive and habit forming.Taste and see for yourself.Psalm 11 ---> John 11 ---> Psalm 11-------3) RECORDSelect one truth from each of the chapters and record them together. Ask the Holy Spirit to weave additional passages of His word into you while you're reading, and enjoy an intimately expanding thread of fellowship as He leads you.This is a pleasurable and meaningful practice of intimacy between one's soul and God ... and profoundly personal.Here's the beginning of my thread:"For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; His countenance doth behold the upright."Psalm 11:7"And when He had thus spoken, He cried with a loud voice, 'Lazarus, come forth.' And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and His face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, 'Loose him, and let him go.'"John 11:43-44"For the righteous Lord loveth righteousness; His countenance doth behold the upright."Psalm 11:7-------Additional Threads:Psalm 11:7 ---> Ruth 2:11-12John 11:43-44 ---> Isaiah 61:1-3Psalm 11:7 ---> Psalm 37------Today's Rhema leads to three provoking thoughts. 1) God's eyes are all-seeing and His mind is all-knowing.The realities of His full sovereignty ought to impart comfort to our souls and impact us in concrete and solidifying ways.God's sovereignty is ruling and ordering this very day and all that takes place within it.From peoples and faces, to surprising new places, God's plan is ultimately orchestrating, determining, and delivering our placement and calling.2) The raising of Lazarus from the dead is too marvelous for words;such power avails itself to us in our time of need.The timing of God's empowering acts, while not understood by us, are sufficient testaments to His glory and His ongoing story at work in our lives.His timing and His power can be trusted.3) "Loose him and let him go."John 11:44None but Jesus has the right to speak such words;And none but Jesus has the authority and power to fulfill such words.The truthfulness and force of God's word prevails over, through, and in our lives.It is God's word to restore, redeem, reclaim, and bear witnesss to the resurrection and rebirth of the soul.It is God's work to defend, deliver, and determine the alotment ordained for each of our lives."The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup; Thou maintainest my lot. The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage."Psalm 16:5-6Hallelujah and Amen to lives made whole.Lord, Let Thy blessing fall on me this day.-----

a-amino-b-thiolpropionic acid
There may be benefits that have not yet been proven through research.
A form of cysteine called L-cysteine may help treat arthritis and hardening of the arteries. It may help treat certain lung diseases. These include bronchitis, emphysema, and tuberculosis.
Cysteine may play a role in the normal growth rate of hair. Cysteine may also help reduce the effects of aging on the skin. It may help healing after surgery or burns and protect the skin from radiation injury.
Cysteine may help burn fat and increase muscle mass.
Cysteine is an amino acid important for making protein, and other metabolic functions. It is found in beta-keratin. This is the main protein in nails, skin, and hair. Cysteine is important in the creation of collagen. It affects skin elasticity and texture. Amino acids (AAs) are available as single AAs or in AA combinations. They also come as part of multi-vitamins, proteins, and food supplements. The forms include tablets, fluids, and powders.
By eating enough protein in your diet, you get all of the amino acids you need.
There are no conditions that increase how much cysteine you need.
Using a single amino acid supplement may lead to negative nitrogen balance. This can lessen how well your metabolism works. It can make your kidneys work harder. In children, single amino acid supplements may cause growth problems.
You should not take high doses of single amino acids for long periods of time.
Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should not use cysteine supplements.
You should not use cysteine if you have either of these:
Diabetes. Cysteine may interfere with how insulin works.
Cystinuria. This is a rare genetic condition. It causes cystine build up. Cystine is related to cysteine. This buildup may lead to kidney stones that can block the urinary tract.

In this review
Costs & verdict
Everyday costs, plus how reliable and safe it is
Even the entry-level GT-R comes with six airbags, keyless start, 20in wheels, LED headlights and parking sensors all round as standard, as well as an infotainment system with eleven speakers, DAB radio and SD-based satellite navigation. It's exactly the kind of generous kit offering commonly used to keep a car like this attractive as it gets a bit long-in-the-tooth.
The step-up to mid-level trim looks a bit expensive, given that it only buys Recaro sports seats and a few other bits of cabin trim. The 'Prestige' version is offered with extended black, red, ivory or tan leather for a more luxurious flavour, while the 'Track Edition' comes with forged wheels, a reinforced body and suspension and a carbonfibre spoiler.
The GT-R's complicated twin-clutch gearbox and four-wheel drive system are both a bit more needy than you may expect them to be, with servicing due every 12 months or 9000 miles. Expect to be more familiar with your dealer than even that would imply if you regularly use your car on track. That's not least because track use, or driving with the car's electronic stability controls disengaged, invalidates Nissan's factory warranty until an appointment can be made for a full vehicle inspection, according to the car's handbook.
Residual values on the car should be competitive, with a typical example expected to retain around 50 per cent of its showroom value after three years and 36,000 miles.

Afraid Of God
Contributed by Jeremy Houck on Jun 11, 2005 (message contributor)
Summary: John Calvin wrote, "Men are never duly touched and impressed with a conviction of their insignificance, until they have contrasted themselves with the majesty of God." The more we look at God, the more evil we discover.
Afraid of God
Over the past few weeks on Sunday evenings we have been looking at the Biblical portrait of Jehovah. We have looked at the fact that we were created by God with a holy hunger that only the creator can fill. Then we spent three weeks looking at the qualities we find in the Biblical picture of God.
First we compared God to our Father who provides for us a loving, accepting relationship that draws us to love Him in return.
Next we said that God is like a mother who is fiercely protective and endlessly devoted. And it is His devotion to us that draws us to be devoted to Him.
Then last week we looked at God as a Groom who is chasing His bride. We noticed that there was no beauty found in us until we entered a relationship with God and He made us beautiful.
All of these pictures point to the Nearness that God desires from his children. God is a personal God who comes to dwell among us and live in us. Though it is difficult for adults to believe that he could really be near us, children apparently don't have that problem. A couple of books have published letters children were asked to write to God. They are filled with confidence that God is involved in our lives and that He's an approachable God:
Dear God, Thank you for my baby brother but what I prayed for was a puppy. Joyce
Dear God, I would like to know why all the things you said are in red? Joanne
Dear God, Maybe Cain and Abel would not kill each [other] so much if they had their own rooms. It works with my brother. Larry.
Dear God, Why do so many persons who begin with "I" fight in wars. Iranians. Iracs. Israel. Indians. You name it. Is it just an accident? Maybe you should check on it. It gives all the "I" people a bad name! Best wishes, Ingred.
Special delivery to God, Why not have a few new commandments. How about one that goes - Thou should not have to wash dishes until you are big and older and have a family or two of your own. Think about this, Stephanie.
I often wish that I could have the same boldness to come before God that these children possess. They truly have the understanding that He is one who has chosen to be among us!
A Glimpse of God
But while Scripture describes God as a personal being, as we have noticed over the past 4 weeks, God is also portrayed as one who is completely sovereign. God is awe-inspiring, a being beyond comprehension, who is not made in our image. In one instance He is as close as a brother and then we are reminded of His awesomeness.
Right after describing the confidence we can have in drawing near to God, the writer of Hebrews reminds us: "It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God" (10:31).
Then in Chapter 12 we are admonished to "worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, for our 'God is a consuming fire' " (12:28, 29).
I think that we need to be aware of focusing solely on one biblical picture of God, that excludes the other facets of His character. Although God is approachable, He is not just an extra-strong big brother. He is God, and we should be filled with wonder that we can approach Him.
If you can try to imagine what it would be like for an ant to try to contemplate a human. Even though the ant can see proof of our existence, we are the ones that brought the food to the picnic, they will never be able to comprehend what we know, our strength, or our ways of doing things. That's undoubtedly what happens when humans contemplate God. We can only begin to grasp faint notions of his power, love, and holiness.
Though we might want to see him more clearly, we need to remember that, without exception, those in the Bible who glimpsed the holiness of God were dumbstruck and terrified.
Job, after hearing from the Lord, cried: "I am unworthy - how can I reply to you? ... My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you. Therefore I despise myself and repent in dust and ashes" (Job 40:4; 42:5, 6) .
Habakkuk, after entering the watchtower and waiting for God's answer, was seized by dread: "I heard and my heart pounded, my lips quivered at the sound; decay crept into my bones, and my legs trembled" (Habakkuk 3:16) .
Peter, recognizing the glory of God in the works of Jesus, responds: "Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!" (Luke 5:8) .

Yeager: This is the Friday, August 30, 2019 version of the Market Plus segment. Joining us now, Elaine Kub. Hello, Elaine.
Kub: Hello, Paul.
Yeager: Where do you want to start? Should we start cotton since I ran that out. We have a hurricane, already a category 2, slowing down, worst fears headed towards Central Florida, could affect some southern states, cotton areas. Is that at all being factored into the market right now?
Kub: No, I don't think there's any bullish concern in the cotton market. The cotton chart is one of the grimmest of all the commodities. If that December chart is below 60, which means cotton farmers are not projected to make any profit, they are about 15 points away from any sort of profit, and domestically you'd have a bearish scenario because we have higher cotton acreage this year. And condition ratings, that's like the only crop, I think even including oats and barley and everything, the only crop on the crop progress report every week that is actually ahead of its pace or doing reasonably well. The condition ratings are okay except for some poor ratings in Missouri. But otherwise things look bearish domestically and bearish internationally because of demand. You've even got India doing sort of poorly economically. So there's just really no good lights in the forecast for cotton.
Yeager: Isn't that cheery. Let's continue with the cheery discussions and all of these great questions that came to us via @MarkettoMarket on Twitter or on our Facebook page of @Iowa PBSMarket. Let's start with Parker and I'm going to combine Parker and a couple of questions. Parker was asking about unplanted acres. But he was asking, will the markets ever realize the unplanted acres or that the acres planted in June will not be average yields? Which is similar to a question that Austin was asking about, when are we going to realize that farmers grow corn in adverse conditions and the USDA is historically fairly accurate? The two thoughts kind of the same.
Kub: They are kind of the same and I like Austin's point that corn does really, really well, we are able to grow some very high yields in this country once it gets planted. But I've driven through eastern South Dakota today and there's a lot that never got planted. So you're not going to have good yields there, you're going to have a goose egg. And I think that is one of the things that really haven't been reflected in the USDA tables yet and they will eventually, eventually there will be corrections if not to the planted number then certainly to the harvested number, which honestly I think could be less than 80 million acres by the time this is all said and done because some of it is going to be too late, lots of it is going to get cut for silage and some of it just wasn't there to begin with. But reality is out there, somebody knows, somebody can look at satellite data and see what is and is not there. So the market perhaps knows that and just isn't bidding it up yet and for whatever reason the futures price is still trading based off of the USDA tables and not what I have interpreted as reality out in the Corn Belt.
Yeager: And a lot of people are looking at that reality. This is kind of what I alluded to a while ago in the show, the conspiracy side of things, that there's people looking at satellite data, those who can afford it, large companies, looking at data. Do you believe that's part of the reason for the run up in the basis in the Eastern Corn Belt?
Kub: Certainly. Well and even there we wouldn't even need satellite data to just drive, if you're an elevator operator there or a livestock feeder, a poultry feeder of any kind, you don't need to pay for satellite data, you just drive around and see that the crop is not there. But if you are certainly trading or want to get a bigger picture there are people who have commissioned lots of aerial images, but that's expensive, and there's certainly people who can go to the U.S. geospatial folks and pay for satellite data and see what is and is not there. But this kind of disturbs me because it feels like we shouldn't have to pay for that data, it should be the case that the USDA, that this is why the USDA historically has always given this information away for free evenly, fairly, to everyone at the same time so that the smallest participator in the futures markets, the farmer, is operating at the same time, with the same information as the biggest operators. But this year it feels like only the certain people who can afford to pay for satellite data are getting the information and the stuff that is given away for free at the same time is so suspect as to be unusable.
Yeager: You could argue that the rich get richer because they're the ones who can afford those types of things and those who rely on the government are on the short end. But the market trades more of what USDA reports.
Kub: So it seems.
Yeager: It seems. It seemed this year because how many times have you talked to producers in the last three months, two months, I did not get it in, I couldn't get anything planted and people will say there's nothing reflected in the market to indicate that what is in my back yard is the case across the country.
Kub: Yeah. And a lot of times, listen, a lot of times farmers get backyard-itis and they think yeah, it's terrible where I am, but oh yeah, they're going to grow 200 bushel corn in Northeastern Iowa, which they probably are, it's beautiful in some places where it did get planted. And to Austin's point that yes, farmers, we in the United States grow amazing yields for corn in incredible conditions these past few years. We have proven to ourselves that this is a very resilient crop these days with the technology that is in that seed. That is a problem that happens, backyard-itis, but this year it is different, this is different. This time is different. They always say that.
Yeager: This time it's different, it's always different, I promise I'm changing. All right, let's talk about demand then. Let's get rid of this crop. Jeannine was asking about demand but it's really Phil in Ontario @Agridome on Twitter. He says, the December corn high this year was around June 17th. Can the about to be announced new ethanol initiative from the President help prop up corn demand? Or have the corn market bulls vanished until mid-June of 2020?
Kub: I hope it doesn't take that long and it won't take that long. If the reality that we're seeing and that has been reported is real then by the time, there will be a harvest rally to reflect the bushels that don't show up at the elevator. So Phil has kind of got a two-part question there and he points out that seasonal high on June 17th and, as Phil knows, in a normal year that is the time of year when I expect to see a high. But I don't believe this is a normal year and I'm still bullish. I don't believe that will be the high that we see for that December corn crop, fingers crossed. That's my interpretation. I am bullish.
Yeager: Second part of his question is about ethanol demand. We heard the President, we've had the Renewable Fuel Standard and the small refinery exemptions been in the news the last two weeks, it has been in the amount given by this current administration. But we hear the to be announced. That tends to run the market up for just a little bit and then something settles in. Is that reality? Is that something else?
Kub: It didn't really run the market up very much this week. But it should. If you get some details, actually an idea to build infrastructure to get more E15 pumps out to the actual consumer, that would be a good spur to get more ethanol used in this country. And the small refinery thing was not good and you had great comments from the Iowa Corn Growers Association member in your show previously about that, that was not good and the announcement of it was kind of sneaky and not good. But honestly the actual demand of ethanol, or the production of ethanol, the use of corn to produce ethanol hasn't really fallen off. We didn't just fall off of a cliff because of that. We're actually still seeing above a million barrels a day being produced. So it's not the disaster that we like to say for political reasons, and we should, to pressure the government to keep working on this. But the future going forward of an infrastructure program to get more consumers actually buying E15, that would be fantastic.
Yeager: But it would have to spread farther than the infrastructure that it is and that has been part of the market resistance. Ethanol production is down year over year. We see the Secretary of Ag go to the Farm Progress Show, speak on message on that topic. So it is something that is on the mind of the administration of okay, here's how we can help. So that's what we've seen. We've got a couple of other questions that I want to get to. One of them involves another thing that the administration has done, it's MFP payments. Jonathan, @farmerjon52 on Twitter, he says, how many years of MFP payments will be made until lack of Chinese demand with an ongoing or settled trade war becomes the norm and the ag industry needs to adjust accordingly?
Kub: I have no idea.
Yeager: We don't.
Kub: As long as the trade war persists I suppose. But it seems odd that -- we didn't -- this is not a politics show, we don't need to get into my libertarian beliefs about not being paid not to produce a crop. Direct payments, we didn't like direct payments and we don't like being paid welfare. It would be easier to just be paid a fair market price than to be paid --
Yeager: And I had an argument with somebody about calling it welfare.
Kub: I'm not on message.
Yeager: I understand that and I'm not saying that you are and I'm not saying that I am, but there are people who bristle at that and then who say, well no they're not willingly taking it. They're not.
Kub: I did it. I signed the piece of paper. I'm taking the money because I'm not a very good libertarian. But you do have to file the paperwork, it doesn't just show up in your mailbox, you do have to make the effort and go and sign the piece of paper at the FSA office.
Yeager: Okay, so here's the question. We're going to end with a two-parter, these are two different views of things. This is a chance to show me you're optimistic or your pessimistic side. I've got Steve in Venango, Nebraska. He wants to know, what do I plant next year? But Tim in Crookston, Minnesota wants to know, can I afford to farm next year? Which one is right?
Kub: Well, they're both right. The idea would be to plant something that you think is going to be profitable, right? And there's just not a whole lot out there that you know for sure. Now, the cheeky answer I would want to give is mushrooms or hemp, the mushrooms that you had on your show, something to diversify into a more specialty crop and this is if you are really ambitious and willing to build your own market and become your own processing facility. This idea that this great savior crop is going to come in and help the farm economy, this has happened before in the '80s, the Jerusalem artichokes, did you ever hear about that?
Yeager: I don't remember that.
Kub: Look into that, people planted all these strange crops and there's just no market for them. That's kind of the deal with hemp right now, there's really not enough processors to really make that available unless you yourself are willing to do the processing and do the research to make that happen. So there's not a lot of specialty crops that are a serious answer. Mostly you're stuck with what you have the equipment to plant unless you're willing to make an investment in some sort of a specialty crop. And if your options are corn or soybeans, yeah, I believe a lot of folks are going to turn towards corn if the trade war is still going on when planting season rolls around.
Yeager: You mentioned developing markets for the hemp or the mushrooms or whatever, but that is what trade groups have done for corn and found ethanol and found soybean and found pork and found other markets for it and then it's gone now. Eventually there could be a market for some of those alternatives. That's a whole lot of work. And who is going to write the check for you to do it?
Kub: Right, if you're the one willing to do that then I believe they will be rewarded. But it's probably not feasible for every farmer to make those investments right now and the equipment and the space and the processing facilities they would need.
Yeager: A lot of head shaking. That's a good holiday weekend discussion. That's heavy for a holiday. How about we'll leave it at that? Elaine Kub, thank you so much.
Kub: Thanks, Paul.
Yeager: That's going to do it for Market Plus. And we appreciate Elaine for her insight. And next week we'll be back with Delaney and she will look at how demand for a southwest specialty crop is heating up and Jeff French will join us at the Market to Market table. Until then, thanks for watching, listening or reading. I'm Paul Yeager. Have a great week.

It sounds like light switches and lights are usually wired with 14/2 cable. Is it okay to use 12/2 cable instead? Would I need special switches?
As long as you have a 15A circuit breaker on that circuit, it's OK to use 12/2 NM cable for your lights. Since the maximum current on the circuit will be 15A, you won't need special switches. You should label the wire that it is 15A, not 20A, so that someone else doesn't come along and treat it as a 20A circuit.
- Pro: 12/2 cable is a slightly better conductor of electricity, so you'll have slightly less loss between the service panel and your fixtures.
- Cons: it's more expensive, harder to work with than 14/2 cable, and you may need to use larger junction boxes because the NEC allows fewer 12 gauge conductors than 14 gauge in a given volume box.
You'll probably also find that you won't be able to use the insertion fittings on the back of the switches (but that's OK, IMO, because I always use the screws), and you definitely won't be able to use the electrical nuts that come with your lights, so you'll have to get your own (and making a secure connection might be trickier with 12 gauge).
1The problem of confusing someone who comes along later, alone, would put me off doing it. – flamingpenguin Feb 21 '11 at 13:28
2Niall C. touched on this a little but it will be much more difficult to work with the 12/2 wire than the 14/2. 12/2 is significantly stiffer and harder to pull through walls or other holes. And then it gets hard to bend and fit the 12/2 wire into a box. If you do not need to use 12/2 then don't... it will make the project take much longer. With that said, if you follow @Niall C's advice in his answer then you can use 12/2 (but I would not recommend it). – Jeff Widmer Feb 21 '11 at 15:30
1Not to mention, (at least today, at retail) 12/2 is about 50% more expensive than 14/2. If you have some 12/2 laying around that's one thing, but if you're just trying to buy one type of wire because you need some 12/2 anyways, I would buy what I needed of both, and save the cash and hassle of oversized wire. – gregmac Feb 21 '11 at 19:35
3I just spent all weekend replacing every switch and socket in my mother's house and trust me, any opportunity you get to avoid working with 12/2 conductors in a tiny single gang box - take it. It basically doubles the amount of time it takes me to make up a box. And when you're running 2 or 3 conductors in/out of a box... UGH – kkeilman Feb 23 '11 at 2:18
1If the entire circuit is 12/2 wire, isn't that sufficient to make it a 20A circuit? Why would you need only a 15A circuit breaker then? – BlueRaja - Danny Pflughoeft Aug 12 '13 at 22:28
Yes, it is okay to use 12-2 cable to supply lighting fixtures. The other answer indicates that it even with 12-2 you have to use a 15A breaker for lighting circuits which is not strictly correct.
If the entire circuit is 12AWG (other than fixture wires), then a 20A breaker may be used.
If only part of the circuit is 12AWG while other parts are 14AWG (other than fixture wires), then a 15A breaker must be used because of the allowable ampacity through 14AWG. In general, I would recommend avoiding mixing 14AWG and 12AWG on the same circuit to avoid confusion. If necessary, I would highly recommend labeling the circuit at the breaker with a note explaining the combination of 12AWG and 14AWG wire on the circuit. I think this is the situation Niall C's answer was explaining.
Fixture wires in either case must comply with the requirements listed in 240.5. Note: This is why many lighting fixtures (e.g. ceiling fans, dome lights) and light switches with built-in wires (e.g. combination switch/occupancy sensor, combination switch/timer) have wires smaller than 14AWG.
From the 2014 NEC (NFPA-70):
Note: In the 2011 edition, the text of 210.22 and 210.23 were in a single clause, but essentially said the same thing. These requirements are not new in the 2014 standard.
210.22 Permissible Loads, Individual Branch Circuits. An individual branch circuit shall be permitted to supply any load for which it is rated, but in no case shall the load exceed the branch-circuit ampere rating.
210.23 Permissible Loads, Multiple-Outlet Branch Circuits. In no case shall the load exceed the branch-circuit ampere rating. A branch circuit supplying two or more outlets or receptacles shall supply only the loads specified according to its size as specified in 210.23(A) through (D) and as summarized in 210.24 and Table 210.24.
(A) 15- and 20-Ampere Branch Circuits. A 15- or 20-ampere branch circuit shall be permitted to supply lighting units or other utilization equipment, or a combination of both, and shall comply with 210.23(A)(1) and (A)(2).
Exception: The small-appliance branch circuits, laundry branch circuits, and bathroom branch circuits required in a dwelling unit(s) by 210.11(C)(1), (C)(2), and (C)(3) shall supply only the receptacle outlets specified in that section.
(1) Cord-and-Plug-Connected Equipment Not Fastened in Place. The rating of any one cord-and-plug-connected utilization equipment not fastened in place shall not exceed 80 percent of the branch-circuit ampere rating.
(2) Utilization Equipment Fastened in Place. The total rating of utilization equipment fastened in place, other than luminaires, shall not exceed 50 percent of the branch-circuit ampere rating where lighting units, cord-and-plugconnected utilization equipment not fastened in place, or both, are also supplied.
240.5 Protection of Flexible Cords, Flexible Cables, and Fixture Wires. Flexible cord and flexible cable, including tinsel cord and extension cords, and fixture wires shall be protected against overcurrent by either 240.5(A) or (B).
(A) Ampacities. Flexible cord and flexible cable shall be protected by an overcurrent device in accordance with their ampacity as specified in Table 400.5(A)(1) and Table 400.5(A)(2). Fixture wire shall be protected against overcurrent in accordance with its ampacity as specified in Table 402.5. Supplementary overcurrent protection, as covered in 240.10, shall be permitted to be an acceptable means for providing this protection.

You don't have to be an expert...
Facial massage is one of the best ways to prevent wrinkles, boost lymphatic drainage and plump the skin. And that's just a few of it's well-known benefits. No wonder the technique has been popping up all over our Instagram feeds as the latest addition to a totally holistic beauty regimen. The best news of all? It only adds a couple of minutes to your morning ritual and you can teach yourself to do it at-home.
We've already heard it's praises sung by beauty brands and facialists alike. Take FaceGym for example, their signature facial involves manual kneeding by the therapist, which is combined with their at-home beauty gadget FaceGym Pro that delivers a hit of electrical pulses designed to stimulate muscles. Celebrity facialist Nicola Joss also swears by the practice for lifting and sculpting and is well known for her intimate massage that even goes right inside the walls of your mouth to target the jaw line and droopy jowls.
If you've ever wondered how to do facial massage at-home and whether it really works, take a look at our tips and tricks video with Chinese supermodel Li Xiao Xing who was first discovered as part of a modelling competition aged just 21 and has since risen to international acclaim walking for some of the world's biggest fashion houses.
Want to try it yourself at home? Then keep scrolling for our step-by-step guide to doing your own facial massage, and try these DIY spa products to take your relaxation to the next level.
How to do a facial massage step by step
Prepping the skin
Make sure you prep the skin by cleansing and removing all makeup. You want a clean base for your massage and to remove any build up of dead skin or toxins that have accumulated.
Apply a rich moisturiser or oil
Be generous with your product application as you need plenty of lubrication to massage effectively. Using an hydrating, invigorating moisturiser like Shiseido's Essential Energy Moisturizing Cream, £59, which designed to wake up the skin is best for a morning massage.
Start at the top of the face
Using the padded tips of your fingers begin your massage at the top of your face. Use long sweeping motions to relax and elongate the muscles and stimulate the lymphatic system.
Be gentle around the eyes
You always want to sweep hands from the centre of the face out and upwards to encourage the lifting of the muscles and to work against the force of gravity. Around the eyes the skin is 40% thinner and far more delicate so reduce your pressure in this area. Start your eye massage on either side of the nose and run fingers upwards towards the temples. This helps to keep skin looking fresh and reduces puffiness in the eye area.
Target the jaw line
Next focus on the jaw and the lower half of the face. You always want to start at the centre of the chin, drawing hands upwards towards the ears. Make a peace sign with both hands and bend fingers in half to create bunny ears. Use the pressure between your bent fingers to cradle the jaw and stimulate lax muscles to prevent drooping.
Apply temple pressure
Relieve pressure in the temples and forehead by circling your fingers over your temples three times and press pat the rest of your moisturiser into the skin for maximum hydration.
Extend your massage
Latest Stories
To take your massage to the next level draw your opposite hand to your right ear and swoop across the neck, over the top of the chest to the opposite shoulder blade. This helps to open up the lymphatic system, which will help with drainage. Repeat on the other side by bringing your right hand to your left ear.

Rural schools struggle to recruit, keep teachers
By Erika Alvero
Nyibol Bior, an overworked Longmont teacher, applied last April to the rural Dolores School District hoping for a fresh start. But she balked when a job offer as a special education teacher for the district meant a pay cut and moving to a small town where Bior, a South Sudanese refugee, would stand out.
She turned down the job. But then she changed her mind.
"I didn't go into teaching thinking I was going to make a lot of money," she said. "I just want to make a difference."
Bior's struggle is one shared by many teachers in Colorado, where salaries are among the lowest in the nation and have contributed to a chronic teacher shortage that has forced schools to cut subjects, make classes bigger and never fill some positions. But teacher shortages and low salaries have particularly plagued rural districts like Dolores, where schools can't attract teachers to remote areas without competitive pay.
Bior took a pay cut in exchange for a school where she feels appreciated. But she pays for it by picking up extra coaching and teaching jobs to augment her low salary.
"I'm having to work extra to make ends meet," Bior said.

The 'Natural HUFTECH' plectrum
Before ordering, please make sure to read the shipping page!
This is the natural and 'unfilled' version of this amazing engineering material which still retains its very low coefficient of friction and offers a fantastic grip! It is somehow very similar to UHMWPE but more compact to the tough and offers a much better grip !
Economy of motion + more playing strength = less playing effort!
My plectrums are much thicker than the norm. The idea is to minimise movement and increase the guitarist's hand strength. Less effort is required to play, which is a relief to the player. As a result, he will have less cramping and tenseness, which is very useful for guitarists suffering from osteoarthritis, tendinitis or other muscular problems. Naturally, this is also very interesting for the adventurous guitarist who has none of these problems, because this bio-mechanical phenomenon can help him obtain more precision, strength and speed too!10mm thick.

Preparation time: 2 hours
Cooking time: 1.5 hours
Serves: 6-8
5- to 6-pound leg of lamb, trimmed of excess fat
2 medium sized garlic cloves, peeled and cut lengthwise into paper-thin slivers
1/2 cup brandy
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1.5 Tablespoons salt
2 teaspoons ground black pepper
1/4 cup dry sherry
1/4 cup dry white wine
With the point of a small sharp knife, cut a dozen or more 1-inch-deep slits all over the surface of the leg of lamb and insert a sliver of garlic into each. Place lamb in roasting pan, and wrap in paper towels (or cheesecloth if you wanna be fancy), and drench thoroughly with the brandy. Cover pan with plastic wrap to avoid evaporation. Let marinate at room temperature for 2 hours.
Preheat oven to 450. Mix cumin, salt, and pepper in a small bowl, and combine sherry and wine in another. Unwrap the lamb, and place the leg, fat side up, on a rack in the roasting pan. Press the cumin mixture into the surface of the lamb, coating as evenly as possible.
Roast the lamb in the middle of the oven for 20 minutes. Then reduce the heat to 350, and baste with a tablespoon of the wine mixture. Roast 40-60 minutes longer, or until leg is cooked to taste (meat thermometer should read 130 for rare, 140 for medium, 150 for well done). Baste two or three more times with wine mixture while roasting.
Transfer to heated platter and let roast set for 15 minutes. Serve with mint jelly.

Examining the link between climate, conflict and cross-border migration
Jesus Crespo Cuaresma, Wittgenstein Centre (IIASA, VID/ÖAW, WU)
Raya Muttarak, Wittgenstein Centre (IIASA, VID/ÖAW, WU)
Guy J. Abel, Asian Demographic Research Institute
Recent media headlines, especially those on Europe's migration crisis, often cited climate change-induced conflict in the Middle East and Africa as a major driver of the surge of migrants to Europe in the past couple of years. Establishing scientifically based link between climate change, conflict and migration is however a complex task. This requires a panel data approach accounting for potential confounding factors in order to draw causal inferences on the relationship between climate and conflict. Likewise, the study of the relationship between climate change and migration needs to control for a range of other drivers of migration including social, political, economic and demographic factors. Given the complexity in establishing connections between climate change, conflict and migration, extant empirical studies on the subject are generally organized along the twin axes of climate change and conflict, and climate change and migration. To our knowledge, empirical literature that simultaneously investigates climate change, conflict and migration is scarce. To this end, this paper aims to systematically examine the connection between climate change and conflict and explore how the two factors interplay in influencing cross-border migration. Using gravity-type model and country-fixed effects, we attempt to draw a causal link between climate, conflict and migration. Cross-border migration is estimated based on the UNHCR global bilateral international refugee flows collected annually from 1951-2014. Climatic conditions are measured as rainfall variability, temperature anomalies and natural disaster events at a country-level. We control for demographic, social, economic and political characteristics of countries of origin and destination that drive conflict as well serve as "push" and "pull" factors in determining migration. This study expects to provide a comprehensive overview of climate- and conflict-induced global migration flows and identify origin and destination areas that may need interventions.

In this painting, I have used the scumbling method in the underpainting mostly. The underpainting is executed with acrylics. It helps to establish the foundation for the whole artwork. I have my own way to paint and I am not claiming this is a demo for the Venetian technique of the Renaissance. However, I really think it is close to it, with the difference that for their underpainting, they used tempera.
I have always begun such an elaborate composition with numerous sketches. This is a commissioned artwork for the publication of one of the Upanishads, a Vedic text of ancient India.
Here are the first few steps:

Hyaluronic acid is present naturally in almost all tissues of the human body as one of the most hydrophilic molecules, which is rightly called "natural moisturizer".
Hyaluronic acid gives the skin and joints the cooling hydration they need. It is a carbohydrate (mucopolysaccharide) that is found naturally in all cells of the human body, with its highest concentration in synovial fluid and connective tissue.
A particularly high percentage of hyaluronic acid is contained in cartilage and bone, and it protects the joint cartilage from lesions, maintains the elasticity and plasticity of the tissues.
Also, hyaluronic acid allows the physiological functions and elastic properties of the joints affected by the arthrosis to recover. Relieves pains and facilitates movement in the affected joint.
But hyaluronic acid is especially important for maintaining youthfulness in the skin. It has a powerful anti-aging effect. Maintains the elasticity of the skin and slows the aging process.
Hyaluronic acid is naturally present in almost all tissues of the human body as one of the most hydrophilic molecules, called naturally "natural moisturizer."
Its unique ability is that it retains water, thus providing complete hydration and freshness to the skin. It retains its density, makes it smooth, stretched and youthful.
Contents in 1 table spoon: (15 ml)
Others: purified water, citric acid, natural flavors, potassium sorbate.
Does not contain: GMO; Gluten; Saccharose; Starch; Yeast; Wheat; Cholesterol; fats; Artificial colors; Preservatives; Wheat and maize derivatives; Milk derivatives.

#SandwichEatUp- #21- This N' That Eats- September 2015
Written by Biggie on August 30, 2015
I was told about This N That Eats by food blogger, Eat Local Orlando. He messaged me and said "I thought of you when I found out about This N' That Eats! I think you need to come try it." I did and I new it needed to be an upcoming #SandwichEatUp location. The September #SandwichEatUp will be there- Monday, September 21st at 6:30pm-8:30pm
This N' That Eats is owned by Chef Jason Schofield. He is the former chef at White Wolfe Cafe and traveled to work in NY for a bit and has made his return to the City Beautiful to help feed Orlando Locals.
This N' That Eats opened in July 2015. If you asked Chef Jason to describe This N' That Eats would tell you its a new local eatery featuring global sandwiches, cured meats and cheeses as well as regional single-origin coffees and teas.
I was researching Chef Jason Schofield and came across this CelebrityChef4U video. He is someone that loves food and he uses a phrase he calls "I-Am-ness," getting in touch with that child-like place where fun and exploration are paramount. "I yearn to get to that free-spirited point where you aren't bound by what you can or can't do, and what people say is or isn't traditional."
I enjoyed meeting Jason and tried some of his sandwiches. I think you will enjoy his passion for food and his sandwiches on Sept. 21st from 6:30-8:30pm
BTW- September 20th is my birthday and I would love to celebrate my birthday all of you at my #SandwichEatUp at This N' That Eats.

While Windows is a ubiquitous system packed with incredible features, it is still vulnerable to various problems. For one, you might encounter an error message whenever you turn on your computer. If you notice that GfxUI has stopped working on Windows 7 or Windows 10, don't panic because this issue is easy to fix.
What does it mean when GfxUI has stopped working on Windows 7?
If you are concerned about seeing an error message related to Gfxui.exe, do not be alarmed because it has nothing to do with malware. This is a legitimate file from Intel Corporation, and it is included in the Intel Graphics Properties component. It plays a crucial role in controlling the graphic user interface of Intel's onboard video. This file can be found in various laptops, including Lenovo Thinkpad, HP Pavillion, and Dell.
Usually, when this error shows up, it is caused by a driver problem or issues in security permissions settings. Make sure you try one of our methods below to get rid of it.
Method 1: Turning on Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.
One of the ways you can eliminate the Gfxui.exe error is by turning on the .NET Framework 3.5 feature. Simply follow these instructions:
- Click the Search icon on your taskbar.
- Type "turn windows feature on or off" (no quotes), then hit Enter.
- Look for the .NET Framework 3.5 and make sure that it is selected.
- Restart your PC and check if the problem has been fixed.
- If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can also go to the Microsoft support site and download .NET Framework 3.5. Install the program again and check if the problem persists.
Method 2: Updating your Intel graphics card driver
If the first method did not work for you, it is possible that a missing or outdated Intel Graphics card driver is causing the issue. Updating your drivers can fix the issue, and you can either do it manually or by using a one-click solution like Auslogics Driver Updater. When you opt for the former, you would have to look for the latest and compatible display driver on the support website of Intel. On the other hand, if you do not have the patience, time, and skills to do so, then it would be best to use Auslogics Driver Updater.
Resolve PC Issues with Driver Updater
Unstable PC performance is often caused by outdated or corrupt drivers. Auslogics Driver Updater diagnoses driver issues and lets you update old drivers all at once or one at a time to get your PC running smoother
After downloading and installing the program, you just have to click a button, and it will recognize your system. It will identify problematic drivers and look for the latest manufacturer-recommended versions. Another key thing to remember about Auslogics Driver Updater is that it takes care of all missing and outdated drivers. This means that once the process is complete, your computer will perform faster and more efficiently.
Method 3: Reinstalling your Intel graphics card driver
If you've tried updating your graphics driver and yet the issue persists, you can try performing a clean installation of your Intel display card driver. Just follow the steps below:
- Uninstall your current graphics driver by using Display Driver Uninstaller or a similar program. Do not forget to boot into Safe Mode before removing the driver.
- Make sure you choose the automatic restart option before uninstalling the driver.
- Windows will automatically search for an appropriate display driver for your computer.
- Alternatively, you can use Auslogics Driver Updater to download the latest version of Intel display driver.
Do you think there are easier ways to get rid of the Gfxui.exe error?
We'd love to know your ideas! Don't forget to share them in the comments below!
