what pins The programming USB-jtag port and 8 pin JTAG header is connected to FPGA?
Hello Everyone,
I have many FPGA development/platform boards that can be programmed/configured by the USB-JTAG port available and also has a JTAG 8 pin connector too.
1) why do we have two when we can program and get debug signals using same USB-JTAG port(It can be done in ZYBO(zynq board) ?
I read many docs for this and understood that each FPGA has a TAP controller to communicate via JTAG. here i have plenty of questions that are not clear to me .
1) Does this TAP controller work for both programming and debugging ? if yes then then how it decides to program or debug ?
2) which one will be connected to TAP controller FPGA pins, USB-JTAG or 8 pin JTAG header ?
3) There are other programming options like master SPI & BPI and slave too and also like QSPI/SD. they should be connected to FPGA pins on the PCB. I saw in a doc(UG470) for the signals for them and saw like they share most of FPGA pins(like JTAG signals) and additionally have there own dedicated signals too on FPGA. my question is how switching between the connections of QSPI/SD/JTAG happens near the FPGA to receive programming info depending upon mode pins.

Re: what pins The programming USB-jtag port and 8 pin JTAG header is connected to FPG
The questions need to be answered specifically for FPGA family and dev board. A few general points though:
The JTAG port of a FPGA can have different functions. Generic functions available with every FPGA are boundary scan and volatile configuration, also non-volatile configuration of flash based FPGA. Other functions (programming of connected memory, debug functions like Chipscope/Signaltap) are provided by software.
Dev boards with on board USB-to-JTAG bridge respectively vendor specific JTAG adapter may provide an additional native JTAG port, e.g. to allow connection of other JTAG tools incompatible with the on-board adapter. In this case, a mux switches the FPGA JTAG port between both interfaces.
Although programming of configuration memory, e.g. SPI flash, can be conveniently performed through FPGA JTAG functions, it may be desirable to have direct access to the SPI interface by an external connector.

"Women hold a tremendous amount of power to change things. Why do you think Satan approached the woman in the garden?"
What is being passed down, woman to woman in our culture, in the church? I submit to you that the message is often inaccurate and powerfully destructive. Women, what you believe is what you teach; and what you teach helps shape the next generation.

STOCKTON - With nearly six minutes left during halftime on Tuesday, the St. Mary's High girls basketball team sat on the bench waiting to warm up.
STOCKTON - With nearly six minutes left during halftime on Tuesday, the St. Mary's High girls basketball team sat on the bench waiting to warm up.
Rather than conferencing in the locker room to discuss possible second-half adjustments, the Rams waited for their cheerleaders to finish their routine.
There just wasn't anything to talk about.
The No. 1 Rams, the defending Sac-Joaquin Section Division III champions who have advanced to the NorCal finals the past two years, cruised past No. 16 Livingston in the opening round of the Division III section playoffs with a 99-15 win at Morelli Gym.
St. Mary's (24-3) will host No. 9 Sonora, a 53-45 winner over No. 8 Foothill, at 7 p.m. Thursday.
The Rams did most of their damage in the first half, they did it largely with reserves and they did it without star junior Afure Jemerigbe, who missed her third consecutive game with an ankle injury. She is expected to be in uniform Thursday.
Annissa Garcia led St. Mary's with 24 points - all scored in the first half - and her seven rebounds shared team-high honors with Kendall Kenyon and Regina Camera. Sarah Norcup scored 15 points behind five 3-pointers, Alle Moreno had 12 and Sabrina Visperas scored nine.
Chelsea Gray spent her limited first-half minutes setting up the offense rather than boosting her scoring numbers. She finished with nine assists, three steals and six points.
The win was the 16th in a row for this year's team, and the program's ninth consecutive victory in the Sac-Joaquin Section playoffs dating to 2007.
"I try to get everyone involved and work on the things I need to work on," Gray said. "Scoring's not all (of my game)."
Moreno, who also had five steals and five assists, likened the first-round game to a practice.
"We practice the press," Moreno said." We practice the things we need to work on - our zone, man-to-man (defense) - just the little things we'll need down the road."
Said St. Mary's coach Tom Gonsalves: "My No. 1 priority was to try and get some conditioning in. The starters actually played longer in the first quarter than they normally would have because I knew they wouldn't play afterward. So I wanted to get them exhausted."
With the starters on the floor throughout the first quarter, Livingston (13-13) was overmatched.
It took less than two minutes for the Rams to build a double-digit lead, less than four minutes to jump in front 22-0, and St. Mary's didn't allow a point until Tara Lao made a 3-pointer for the Wolves with the Rams leading 33-0 with 1:19 left in the first quarter.
The longest stretch St. Mary's went in the first half without scoring was 1 minute, 27 seconds, and that was in the closing minutes of the second quarter. The second-longest "drought" was 42 seconds. With St. Mary's leading 72-3, the Wolves scored five of their eight first-half points in the final minute.
Lao, Gaby Carranza and Consuelo Hernandez all finished with three points. Nobody had more for Livingston.

40.Subordinate clauses of adverbial positions.
Adverbial clauses are usually classified according to their meaning, that is, according to the relation they bear to the main clause. They differ from nominal and attributive clauses in that they are introduced by conjunctions with a more distinct meaning. Some types of adverbial clauses may be introduced by at least a dozen different conjunctions (as for instance adverbial clauses of time). On the other hand, many of the conjunctions are used to introduce more than one kind of clause (as, since, that, when, now that). In some cases the meanings and functions of the conjunction are so numerous that it is really difficult to say what the basic meaning of the conjunction is, as its function depends on the meaning of the clauses and their relationship.
Conditional clauses may be joined asyndetically, though they have link-inversion in this case. Here the meaning and function of the clause can be inferred only from the meaning of the subordinate and the main clause.
An adverbial clause may qualify the whole main clause, the verbal predicate or any verbal part, and also parts expressed by an adjective or adverb. Its position therefore varies: it may be initial, medial, or final -depending on the position of the part of the sentence it refers to and on the general structure of the main clause.
Women are very shy when they are expressing their emotions.
One day, because the days were so short, he decided to give up algebra and geometry).
Types of adverbial clauses
§ 164. According to their semantics we distinguish adverbial clauses of place, time, manner, comparison, condition, concession, purpose, cause, result.
The complex sentence with an adverbial clause of place
§ 165. An adverbial clause of place defines the place or the direction of the action expressed in the principal clause. It may be introduced by one of the following conjunctions: where, whence, wherever, everywhere (that) and conjunctive adverbs with prepositions. A clause introduced by wherever can express direction as well as position.
He was standing where he always had stood, on the rug before the living-room fire.
From where he stood he could see nothing.
Wherever they came people greeted them enthusiastically.
Why can't we go where it's warm?
He took a chair whence he could see the street.
The complex sentence with an adverbial clause of time
§ 166. An adverbial clause of time characterizes the action expressed in the main clause from the temporal point of view. The action may be expressed by a finite or non-finite form of the verb.
An adverbial clause of time may be introduced by conjunctions: as, as soon as, as long as, when, whenever, while, now that, till, until, after, before, since; recently formed conjunctions and phrasal conjunctions: the time (that), the day (that), the moment, the instant, next time, every (each) time, directly, immediately, instantly, once.
Every conjunction in the above list imparts a particular shade of meaning to the temporal relation - priority, simultaneity, succession of actions, the beginning or the end of the action, repetition, coincidence of two actions, gradual development of a process, etc. These temporal relations can be illustrated by the following examples:
When a Forsyte was engaged, married, or born, the Forsytes were present. Whenever there was a pause, he gently asked again. (The conjunctions when and whenever introduce clauses expressing repetition.)
As they stood up Ivory clapped him on the shoulder (The clause denotes the moment when the action of the principal clause takes place.)
The conjunctions till and until introduce clauses which fix the end of the action in the main clause if the latter contains no negation, as in:
She resolved to wait till Clym came to look for her.
If the time reference in the subordinate clause with till or until is to a commencement point, the main clause is always negative. For example:
He did not say a word till he was asked.
They did not marry until she was forty.
The boy did not start to read until he went to school.
Corresponding sentences with affirmative main clauses are impossible unless, the conjunction before is used.
*He said a word till he was asked>He said some words before he was asked.
*They married until she was forty >They married before she was forty.
The conjunction since may introduce a clause which indicates the beginning of a period of time continuing until now or until some time in the past. In the first case the present perfect is used in the principal clause, in the second the past perfect. In a temporal clause the past indefinite tense is used in both cases. For example:
I have only seen him once since I left school.
She had been such of a companion to him since she was three years old.
If the actions expressed in both clauses are durative and still continuing, the present perfect tense is used in both the clauses, as in:
Since we have been friends we have never quarrelled.
Conjunctions of recent formation have mainly been formed from nouns denoting time, although some are formed from adverbs denoting time. They are the time, the moment, the instant, immediately, directly and others. Most of them are used to introduce subordinate clauses denoting the exact moment of the action in the main clause or the quick succession of the actions in both clauses.
We'll be married the very moment we find a house.
Immediately he had lain down and closed his eyes, his consciousness went racing on without him.
Directly he saw me, he slipped back into the room.
Some of the temporal conjunctions are not confined to clauses of time. Thus as may be used to join clauses of cause, manner, concession, comparison and also to introduce parenthetic clauses. The conjunction since may introduce clauses of reason. The conjunctions when and while may express adversative relations, in which case they can hardly be considered subordinating conjunctions. When can introduce a clause containing a new piece of information, not prepared for by the preceding narrative, and thus indicates a quick succession of actions. The conjunction whenever generally expresses temporal relations, but the idea of time often mingles with that of concession.
At the sound of that knock she jumped up, when the brass candlestick clattered to the floor. (The conjunction when expresses the quick succession of actions.)
She left the room in the pursuit of her duties, when no duty could have taken her away if she had wished to stay.
His life has been mined for him, when he is but one-and-twenty.
(In the last two sentences the conjunction when expresses a concessive relation.)
The complex sentence with an adverbial clause of manner
§ 167. Adverbial clauses of manner characterize actions, states, qualities, circumstances. Therefore they may have different reference. The most common conjunctions to introduce them are as and the way.
Adverbial clauses of manner may have different reference:
I. Adverbial clauses of manner may modify the predicate of the main clause by attributing some quality to it.
I'm sorry I talked the way I did at lunch.
She cooks the turkey exactly as my mother did.
He could do it as no one else could have done.
II. They may refer to attributes or predicatives characterizing a state or quality of a person or non-person.
Astonished, as one could be in such circumstances, he didn't give a sign of it.
He was puzzled by the situation, as one could easily be in his place.
III. They may refer to an adverbial modifier, giving additional information or explanation concerning it.
He said it with contempt, as a grown-up serious man should treat such views.
In the second and the third case the connection between the clauses is rather loose, and the subordinate clause is generally set off by commas.
The complex sentence with an adverbial clause of comparison
§ 168. Adverbial clauses of comparison characterize the action expressed by the predicate in the main clause by comparing it with some real or hypothetical circumstance or action.
Clauses of comparison may be introduced by conjunctions as, like, as if, as though, than; correlative conjunctions as... as, so... as, as... as if.
Swithin's pale eyes bulged as though he might suddenly have been afflicted -with insight.
He spoke as timidly as if he were afraid of me.!
An adverbial clause of comparison may correlate with adverbs in the comparative degree in the principal clause. In this case the clause refers to the predicate with its adverbial modifier. Thus in the sentence Mr Direck's broken wrist healed sooner than he desired the subordinate clause characterizes the predicate group healed sooner through comparison. The conjunction than is correlated with the adverb in the comparative degree sooner.
The indicative form can also be used.
They don't have long intervals like they do at other theatres.
Clauses of comparison sometimes have inverted word order.
He was as obstinate as were most of his relatives.
Special mention should be made of cases when two subordinating devices are used to introduce a clause, usually a conjunction and a conjunctive word: than whose, than which, than where, or two conjunctions: than if. They bear double relation to the main clause, one of which is that of comparison.
He is never more present in my work than when no image of him is there, (comparative and temporal relation)
The butler took his tip far more casually, far more naturally than if Dicky had offered to shake hands with him. - чем если бы Дикки протянул ему руку (comparative and conditional relation)
The complex sentence with an .adverbial clause of condition
§ 169. Adverbial clauses of this type contain some condition (cither real or unreal) which makes the action in the main clause possible.
Adverbial clauses of condition may be introduced by conjunctions: if, unless, once, in case. There are also several conjunctions derived from verbal forms sometimes followed by the optional that: provided (that), providing (that), suppose (that), supposing (that), considering (that), given (that), granted (that), granting (that), admitting (that), presuming (that), seeing (that).
Conditional clauses introduced by if and other conjunctions (with the exception of unless) imply uncertainty. Therefore they often contain non-assertive forms of pronouns and pronominal adverbs, such as any, anybody, anything, anywhere.
If anything troubles you, you'd better tell me.
If anyone asks for me, tell him to wait,
Clauses beginning with unless express the only possible condition which will make the action in the main clause possible. Therefore they usually contain assertive forms like something, somebody.
Unless somebody interferes, there may be a disaster.
For the same reason unless-clauses hardly ever express unreal conditions.
The exclusive meaning of unless accounts for the fact that, even if the condition is real, the unless-clause is not always equivalent to an if-not-clause. Thus the sentence: I won't come unless you invite me (я приду, только если вы пригласите меня) and the sentence I won't come if you don't invite me (= я не приду, если вы меня не приглашаете) are quite different in their meaning.
The conjunction provided opens a clause containing some desirable condition for the fullfilment of the action expressed by the predicate in the main clause.
And you can do what you please, provided you do it neatly and don't make a row over it.
The conjunctions suppose and supposing always imply that the condition is merely hypothetical.
I mean this: Suppose some other European pauper prince was anxious to marry Princess Anna and her fortune, wouldn't that Prince have an interest in stopping this loan of yours to Prince Eugen?
Conditional clauses may be joined to the main clause asyndetically by means of link-inversion. Inversion ispossible only if the predicate in the subordinate clause is in the subjunctive mood, that is expressed by past subjunctive (were), or by non-factual Past Perfect.
But had chance taken you out into the surrounding country and had it taken you in the right direction, you would have found him toiling along by the hedges...
§ 170. Depending on the relation between the subordinate and the main clauses and on the use of tense and mood forms, complex sentences with conditional clauses may be subdivided into three types:
I. Complex sentences with clauses of real condition are those when the actions or events in both the clauses refer to the past or present and these actions or events are regarded as real facts. If the actions or events in these clauses refer to the future, the actions or events are regarded as possible real facts.
If f have offended you, I am very sorry.
Why did he send us matches if he knew there was no gas?
If Jules comes back, simply defy him to enter - that is all.
The conditional clause may be a statement for mere argument, no condition is meant.
If she got no money from her brother-in-law, she got what was as good as money - credit.
If Adrian had a passion, indeed, except for Diana Ferse, it was a burning desire to fix that breeding spot.
As can be seen from the above examples, the predicates in conditional clauses may be in the past or present indefinite, present perfect, present or past continuous.
II. Complex sentences with clauses of open condition. These clauses denote hypothetical situations or circumstances which may be (or may not be) realised in the present or future. Accordingly the subjunctive-mood forms are used both in the subordinate and the principal clause to denote actions or states.
In the main clause In the subordinate clause
1. Analytical forms with 1. The present subjunctive (be, go, see, etc.)
should non-perfect or the past subjunctive for all the
would infinitive persons in the singular and plural.
(in Modern English the Of these forms be and were can open
tendency is to use would asyndetically joined clauses.
for all the persons)
In case the state of the patient became worse he would be taken to a hospital.
If I were you, I would change into another dress.
You wouldn't be talking that way unless you were hurt.
2. Quasi-subjunctive-mood forms 2. The non-factual past indefinite
with may (might) + non-perfect infinitive and past continuous.
You might ask her this question if you were less scrupulous.
This might seem to be unreal unless I saw it with my own eyes.
3. The imperative mood. 3. Analytical forms with should + non-perfect
infinitive, (mostly with inversion).
Should he ask for references, tell him to apply to me.
II. Complex sentences with clauses of rejected condition imply non-fulfilment of the condition, as the actions or events described in the conditional clause refer to the past and the time of their realization is over. The condition is generally not even supposed to have been fulfilled, but is stated merely for the sake of argument. The following mood forms are used:
In the main clause In the subordinate clause
analytical forms non-factual past perfect
might + perfect infinitive
If I hadn't woken you, you'd (would) have lain there for the whole fortnight.
She would have been playing her part well unless she had been stiff with fright.
I might have persuaded her to change her mind if she had not been so obstinate.
If the book had been published they could have bought a copy in the shops.
Could he not have missed the train if he had been detained by the director?
The forms with may (might) and could are compound verbal modal predicates in the subjunctive mood.
The non-factual past perfect form may open an asyndetically joined conditional clause (with partial inversion).
Had the colour of the dress been to my taste, I should have bought it.
Had the world been watching, it would have been startled.
§ 171. A complex sentence with a conditional clause may be built on clauses of both type II and III, thus forming a mixed type of conditional relationship. For instance:
If we hadn't been such fools, we would all still be together, (the subordinate clause with reference to the past - type III, the principal clause with reference to the present - type II).
If you were more attentive, you wouldn't have made so many mistakes (the subordinate clause with reference to the present, as it implies somebody's ability to concentrate in general - type II, the main clause with reference to the past - type III).
The complex sentence with an adverbial clause of concession
§ 172. In complex sentences with concessive clauses there is a contrast I between the content of the main clause and that of the subordinate one: the action or fact described in the main clause is carried out or takes place despite the action or state expressed in the subordinate clause.
This type of clause is introduced by conjunctions: although, though, if correlative conjunctions: though...yet, whether...or; соnjunсtive pronouns or adverbs: whoever, whatever, whichever, whenever, wherever (which may stand for almost any part of the sentence), as; or composite соnjunсtiоns: no matter how, no matter what, for all that, despite that, in spite of the fact, despite the fact, even if, even though, even when.
The abundance of means for expressing concessive relations is determined not only by the necessity to differentiate various shades of meaning, but also by the fact that different parts may form the focus of the concessive meaning:
However cynical he was - (The focus is the predicative.)
Сколь бы циничен он ни был...,
Late as it was -
Хотя было поздно...,
как бы ни было поздно...,
Try as he might - (The focus is the notional
Как бы он ни старался..., part of the predicate.)
хотя он и старался работать...,
Whoever may come - (The focus is the subject.)
Кто бы ни пришел...,
Compound conjunctive pronouns and adverbs (whoever, whenever, etc.) impart universal or indefinite meaning to the clause they introduce. Contrast the following sentences:
a) Whenever you come send me a note (any time when...).
b) When you come send me a note (the definite time when...).
There is some similarity between clauses of condition and concession. The difference lies in the fact that whereas conditional clauses state the dependence of one action or circumstance on another, concessive clauses imply a contrast or lack of dependence between them. Thus the following sentences with concessive clauses
Although the weather was bad, he went for a walk.
Although the weather was fine, he did not go for a walk (the second statement is surprising in the light of the first),
may be rephrased using coordinate clauses joined by the contrastive but.
The weather was bad, but he went for a walk.
The weather was fine, but he did not go for a walk.
In complex sentences with a conditional clause the dependence has no contrast.
If the weather was fine he went for a walk. (The second statement results from the first.)
The complex sentence with an adverbial clause of purpose j
§ 173. Clauses of purpose generally express the purpose of the action, which is stated in the main clause. The verb-predicate in the subordinate clause is in the subjunctive mood as it expresses a planned but not a real action. Adverbial clauses of purpose are introduced by conjunctions that, so that, lest, so as, so, in order that, for fear that.I trode on an edging of turf that the crackle of the pebbly gravel might not betray me.
I tell you all this so that you may understand me perfectly.
The conjunctions lest and for fear (that) introduce clauses stating | what is to be prevented, as both the conjunctions have a negative meaning. | Lest is now extremely formal and after this conjunction the analytical) subjunctive with should auxiliary is generally used.
He was like a man who is afraid to look behind him lest he should see something there which ought not to be there.
"It's a bit lighter in the park," he said, "but take it (an electric torch) for fear you get off the path. "
In some cases the meaning of purpose in clauses introduced by lest and for fear that is weakened so that the clause expresses rather general motivation than purpose, or else an outcome of the action in the main clause, as in:
Lest the wall should collapse, they evacuated the building. (They did not evacuate the building with the purpose of causing the wall to collapse.)
Better chain up the dog for fear he bites.
The complex sentence with an adverbial clause of cause
§ 174. Adverbial clauses of cause (or causative clauses) express the reason, cause, or motivation of the action expressed in the main clause or of its content as a whole.
Causative clauses may be introduced by the conjunctions as, because, since, so, that, lest, seeing (that), considering; or by the composite conjunctions for the reason that, in view of the fact that, in so far as (insofar as), by reason of. Of these the conjunction as is preferable when the sentence opens with a clause of cause.
As he was tired he preferred to stay at home.
Since there is no help, let us try and bear it as best we can.
They went down arm-in-arm - James with Imogen, because his pretty grandchild cheered him.
In so far as it is difficult to assign an external cause to certain happenings, they are written off as uncaused or spontaneous.
As can be seen from the above examples, the causative clause may stand in preposition to the main clause, or follow it. It may also be embedded within the main clause, as in:
She loved to give, since she had plenty, and sent presentes here and there to Lilian, the children, and others.
Each of the conjunctions and conjunctive phrases expresses я certain shade of causative meaning, and so they are not always interchungcable. Because usually introduces clauses with the meaning of real cause. I his can be illustrated by the ability of beca use-clauses (but not others) to be included in questions. Thus it is correct to say:
Did you ask him because he was famous or for another reason?
But it is wrong to say: * Did you ask him since he was famous.,,?
Unlike because, the conjunctions since and as introduce clauses with an explanatory meaning, or else that of motivation.
Since you are here, we may begin our talk.
The other reason why causal conjunctions, though synonymous, are not always interchangeable with because, is that some of them are polyfunctional: as and since may be conjunctions of time, as well as of cause. For example:
His mood changed as they marched down to the clocks, (temporal relation)
In colloquial English a clause of cause may be joined rather loosely to a sentence which cannot be its main clause: Are you going to the post-office? - Because I have some letters to post. (I ask you this because I have some letters to post.)
The complex sentence with an adverbial clause of result (consequence)
§ 175. An adverbial clause of result denotes some consequence or result of the action expressed in the main clause. It may be introduced by the conjunction so that, or simply that.
Light fell on her there, so that Soames could see her face, eyes, hair, strangely as he remembered them, strangely beautiful.
Clauses with the correlatives so and such (so... that, such... that) may express manner with a shade of resultative meaning and are treated as such. However one should bear in mind that the line of demarcation between cases of so... that and so that is rather difficult to draw when the two words follow one another.

Education and Outreach
2019 included a stimulating Fresh Air Education programme, designed to specifically relate to the onsite contemporary sculpture. The workshops were led by our excellent tutors and aimed to inspire the senses by providing visual, tactile and sensory experiences. Participants of all ages and abilities had the chance to respond creatively to the sculpture and the surrounding natural environment. We also offered artistic weekend workshops, open to adults (18+), to include techniques of collage, lettering, paper cut out and printmaking.
Since its inception in 1992, Fresh Air has grown into an invaluable resource to visiting educators, artists and students of the arts. In that time, we have fostered an extremely productive relationship with foundation students from local colleges with students being invited to exhibit at Fresh Air, as well as being featured in the Fresh Air catalogue.
Alongside the degree work, our education programme takes pride in the rewarding outreach work we do with special needs and community groups. Through generous donations from The Summerfield Trust and The Coln Children's Fete, we were able to provide workshops for groups from the Alderman Knight School, Peak Academy, St Lukes College, and Paternoster School, Milestone College, Betteridge School, Heart of the Forest Community Special School, and Cotswold Chine School.
Over 5,000 children from many local schools took part in either a tour of the show led by professional artists and tutors culminating in sculpture workshops, or self-led visit supported by the curators. We have a very experienced art team and each workshop is tailor made to suit each group's age, needs and abilities – challenging their expectations and inspiring them to make work of their own.
Some Comments after the last Education Programme
Short activities and tour were guided by the children and their interests and explained well
I thought the tutors were brilliant. They engaged the students well and some students who find it hard to work with people did.
Loved the large sensory construction pieces. Excellent preparation by staff.
Alongside the schools and colleges…
… we also work in partnership with organisations such as the Nelson Trust, the National Star Centre, Art Lift, the Churn Community Project and many others who work to combat exclusion from the arts with particular focus on adults facing disabling barriers. We offer drop-in orientation sessions for teachers the week before the exhibition opens, allowing them to plan their visits and get the most from the show for their students.

Khosla Ventures, Peter Thiel Back Legal Research Startup Judicata
Legal-search startup Judicata raised $5.8 million in a Series A-2 round of venture funding led by Khosla Ventures and joined by Peter Thiel, the company told VentureWire.
The eight-employee startup wants to make legal research on the Internet as easy as a search for a pair of shoes on Zappos.com, said co-founder Blake Masters, an attorney.
Judicata's niche search technology differs from existing legal research databases, like Westlaw or LexisNexis, Masters said, because it "adds structure to the data" of every case, allowing attorneys and legal researchers to easily tune out what's irrelevant and to pinpoint "specific points of law."

2. Hot DAMN, that was a fun weekend of Sabre-y goodness. After our Friday morning concert, I zipped home, dropped off my viola, threw on my new BITCHIN' Sabres tee, and hauled ass over to Lanette's where I got to experience her SABRES THEMED ROOM for the first time. (She's got a goal horn and a red light, you guys.) Then today, I wandered over to the arena, and watched the game with lots of peeps while eating bratwurst and freezing my ass off. (It's much, MUCH colder in the arena this season. For reals.)
3. Look, I know it's only two games, but the Sabres are obviously going 82-0 this season. It's preeeetty much a done deal. The thing I enjoyed the most about the games was that they were just so breezy. The Sabres won with ease. They didn't even appear to break a sweat. I'm just kidding about the Sabres going 82-0, but it sure is nice to get a good start.
4. Today Patty and I were a little confused about the lines, and we were just naming guys, trying to figure out who's playing with who, and at one point we just sort of paused and I was all, "…It feels like the Sabres have lots of good forwards all of a sudden." It was an odd and thrilling realization. In almost any combination, the Sabres have three really good scoring lines, and a rollicking fourth line. (Although, [and this is barely a complaint], I'm sad that Lindy seems to have broken up Kaleta, Goose, and Gerbe. I looooved that line, and they were such a fun combination of punch-y and score-y. Bring them back, Lindy!)
5. We knew Leino would be an improvement on Connolly (at the very least), but if Luke Adam continues being so compatible with Vanek, we are REALLY in business. One of the perks of refusing to learn about our prospects is that every time a new kid shows up in a Sabres uniform and he isn't a pile of puke, I'm pleasantly surprised. I remember being fairly impressed with Adam during his stint with the Sabres last season, but obviously he wasn't getting time on a line with Vanek back then. This is a whole new situation. Kudos to Lindy for putting that combination together, and mega-kudos to Adam for stepping up to the plate. It's fun to root for the young guys. (Private to Luke Adam: I just made a "category" on this blog for you. That means you should go ahead and find a permanent place to live in Buffalo. The only guy I've ever incorrectly put on the"Sabre" list was Mark Mancari, and really, that was just a rookie mistake on my part. Find yourself an apartment, kiddo. Call me if you ever need viola or ridiculous-blogging lessons.)
6. The defense is remarkably better. Here's how we can tell:
- Miller's job has looked easy (rather than terrifying).
- Myers hasn't freaked us out at ALL so far. Remember how scary he was at the beginning of last season? It's hard to say how much of Myers' non-suckiness can be attributed to him being older and wiser, and how much of it can be attributed to the fact that he now gets to play with Robyn Regehr instead of a rotating collection of spazzes, but either way, HOORAY.
- Ehrhoff, Ehrhoff, Ehrhoff, Ehrhoff, Ehrhoff, Ehrhoff. I love me some Christian Ehrhoff
- Mike Weber. Perfectly serviceable Mike Weber, is sitting in the press box because we don't need him. When someone inevitable gets hurt, it won't be a total crisis (unless it's Myers), because we'll still have Mike Weber. It sucks for Mike Weber that the Sabres don't need him, but it ROCKS for us.
7. It really struck me today how appropriate it is that this team started the season in Europe.
Europe is where North Americans go when we want to "find ourselves". I've been to Europe twice, both times for viola-related reasons, and both times I came home all starry-eyed and inspired to TAKE ON THE WORLD. Europe is where we go to be young, and romantic, and to ride trains, and think Big Important Thoughts. I can't imagine a better place for our young team to start this season. As much as I'm looking forward to the home opener I almost wish we could leave the Sabres over there for a little while longer. Obviously they like Europe. I love the idea of them having adventures, and writing flowery prose in their journals, and tasting weird fish-y foods that Ville Leino swears are a Finnish delicacy.
8. I feel obligated to comment on Lindy's choice for the captaincy, so here goes: I approve. Good job, Lindy.
9. Heather's talking sense here.

Today I read from the book of Philippians and the Lord spoke to me from verses 11-13 where Paul is basically saying to the Philippians that he has learned the secret to happiness! He knows that the secret to happiness is when you are able to be content in all situations and circumstances. He has been hungry and thirsty, but he also lived in plenty! He tells us in verse 13, that everything we can do through Christ who strengthens us!
Now the second question someone would be wondering at this point would be, well "How can you be content in every situation?" Well to be completely honest, there's only one way. You can try to do this and that and this and that to be content in all your circumstances OR you can leave it all in Christ's hand! Do you really think your creator will just forget you like that without food, water, shelter, clothes, just like that? If he takes care of the birds of the air who don't gather up and store food, won't He take care of you who has much greater value than an animal? In Matthew 6:33 Jesus says to us "Seek first God, and then these things will be added unto you". This verse has come true and really been evident in my life where when I would give God the reigns from my wagon, He would take control and take me where He wanted and do what He wanted, and that was the key. Submission to the Lord. Seeking Him first before all your own ways! It's not complicated to comprehend for the most part, however I know that it's VERY difficult to practice total submission, but the Lord loves you and only wants the best for you so let Him work. Give Him the reigns to your life! Amen!
Praise the Lord and may God bless you all abundantly!
If you need prayer requests and/or want to talk about anything I am open to you and your personal and private matters will remain between us and God. Contact me at 847-322-0518 or by email at email@example.com. Again may the Lord bless you and may He truly help us find content DAILY!

Burry, Christoph tops
- Updated: March 29, 2011
It was more of the same on Tuesday as the South African/Swiss team of Burry Stander and Christoph Sauser (36ONE Songo Specialized) again proved their world-class stature by winning the second stage of this year's Absa Cape Epic cycle race.
The two remain unbeaten thus far, having also taken top honours in both the Prologue and first stage, in Tokai and Tulbagh respectively.
Now boasting an overall time of nine hours 27min and 38sec, the 36ONE Songo Specialized team will wear the yellow leader jersey for Wednesday's third stage. They were followed by Hannes Genze and Jochen Käss of Multivan Merida Biking in 4:33.30 (overall 9:33.56) with their second podium finish for this event and placed second overall.
In third place with their first podium finish this year were Lukas and Mathias Fl├╝ckiger of Trek World Racing in 4:34.07 (overall time 9:48.42). In fourth place was the Bulls team of Karl Platt and Stefan Sahm in (4:34.23; overall time 9:35.01), placing them in third position overall. Nicolas Vermeulen and Kevin van Hoovels (team Versluys-Evenza) finished in fifth place on Wednesday in 4:40.18 (overall time 9:49.53).
Said Stander: ÔÇ£Today's stage was hard. We followed a similar tactic to yesterday and tried to stay in front. Towards the end there were some steep climbs, but Susi (Christoph Sauser) was really strong and I just had to follow his wheel and on the flat stretch power to the end.ÔÇØ
Sauser added: ÔÇ£I was feeling super strong today and had a good day in the saddle. We were riding together — about eight of us — for most of the day but we broke away near the end. It was really nice to win another stage, but we'll only celebrate tomorrow if we manage to win the stage again. The whole thing can blow up again. I've never been as strong as this year — I also had a coach this year which was good for me. It's good to get some advice, even at 35, and do more power workouts. I definitely have more strength in my legs.ÔÇØ
Mannie Heymans and Adrien Niyonshuti (team Garmin adidas MTN) are the leaders in the African Jersey in 10:05.25, followed by Paul Cordes and Charles Keey (MTN/Qhubeka) in 10:17.39. In third place are Brandon Stewart and Shan Wilson (Toyota DCM) in 10:19.55. ÔÇ¿┬áÔÇ¿Heymans said: ÔÇ£We're out here to defend the African leader jersey and very happy that we managed to extend our lead. Our objective for the rest of the race is to defend it. Adrien and I didn't do much training together and he's not a guy with lots of words, but every day just gets better and better. We're getting stronger as the Absa Cape Epic progresses. I had a big heart for Adrien at the beginning of the race and as we go along, my heart is getting bigger. It's a dream come true to ride with him. He's been through so much – I really admire him. It's a pity about Kevin and David, but we'll wear the African Leader jersey with pride.ÔÇØ
Eva Lechner and Nathalie Schneitter (team Colnago Arreghini S├╝dtirol) won the women's category for the third day in a row in a time of 5:56.23 (overall time 12:27.59), ahead of Sally Bigham and Karien Van Jaarsveld (team USN) in a time of 6:01.49 (overall 12:41.38). Naomi Hansen and Jodie Willett of adidas finished in third place in 6:07.58 (overall time 13:26.15). Lechner and Schneitter lead by 13 minutes and 39 seconds.
Meanwhile in the celebrity race, former Springbok rugby player Adrian Garvey ended 293rd overall on Tuesday. Riding for Team Toyota his time was 7hr 46min and his total cycling time stands at 16hr 4min.
Wednesday's third stage is between Tulbagh and Worcester, a 125km stretch and involving 1900m of climbing. With potential heavy rain forecast over the region for the next few days, things are going to get interesting.

StageOne had a really enjoyable play reading workshop on Tuesday. Michael Hale introduced StageOne to Michael Frayn's Noises Off. StageOne really enjoyed themselves and many times laughed at the actors in the play as they struggled to get to grips with the roles on "Nothing On" and at the constant interuptions by the playwright. StageOne will continue with rest of Act 1 and start Act 2 in our next play reading workshop.
Here is abit more about "Noises Off" play.
The plot for
Noises Off is simple - a play upon on the concept of a play within a
play, which in this case is a dreadful sex-comedy titled "Nothing On".
This is the sort of play in which young girls run about in their
underwear, old men drop their trousers, and many doors continually open
and shut. "Nothing On" is set in "a delightful 16th-century posset mill"
that has been converted to a modern dwelling for which renters are
solicited; the fictional playwright is appropriately named Robin
Housemonger. Each of the three acts of "Noises Off" contains a
performance of the first act of "Nothing On"

Comic: Meet Mr. Noah Tall by me, tacticianjenro
(YAY for my first comic strip! *clap clap clap*)
Meet Mr. Noah Tall. He knows a lot of things. Like, what the answers are, or what the facts are. What are the foundations, the things we need to hear are. Yeah, he seems to "know it all".
Sure, that's great! Knowledge and understanding is a great thing. Discipline and obedience is a great thing. So is teaching, directing people..all those stuff.
But what about love? A love that comes from the heart?
"If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing." -1 Corinthians 13:1-2

According to Adform's CMO, European marketers aren't afraid of new online display ad technology – "just the wrapper it comes in".
Following previous research from display marketing specialists Adform examining marketers' knowledge of online advertising acronyms; it appears that the US is more clued up on the key terms than their UK counterparts.
Adform's research, taken from a poll of 120 delegates at ad:tech London and New York, revealed that, whilst a miserable 32% of UK-based respondents understood RTB (real time bidding), over double (67%) of Americans polled knew it.
Similarly, the term SSP (supply side platform) was understood by 53% of American marketers, but only 18% of UK-based delegates.
Yet according to Adform's CMO Martin Stockfleth Larsen this news should hardly be a surprise, and it should also serve as a wake-up call to UK digital marketers.
Larsen told MarketingTech: "We presumed that the US would be better with the online display jargon, as they are typically one year ahead of the UK in the tech media space, as the market and venture money is bigger within US advertising."
But, of course, not knowing a piece of jargon doesn't necessarily mean being ignorant of the concept. Is it a case of UK-based marketers being afraid of the acronym?
Larsen disagrees. "Marketers aren't so much afraid of acronyms, they're not just as commonplace in Europe as they might be," he said.
He added: "Brits and Europeans tend to prefer the longhand approach. So it is not the technology that baffles them – just the wrapper in which it comes in".
Yet Larsen warned that in the long run this could prove very damaging.
"We all know that visionary branding and storytelling is the differentiator if you want people's attention," he said, adding: "The interesting part of real time bidding is not the technology but the business benefits for publishers, agencies and advertisers, so we can indeed learn a lot from this research."
Rich media's prominence is increasing at a rapid rate for both digital marketing and advertising, and it was something keenly noticed in the Adform research.
76% of delegates interviewed in London said that they expect more investment in rich media online ad campaigns during the next 12 months, and this figure was backed up by the US response, where 64% foresaw a decline in standard ad display campaigns.
Larsen agreed that the enthusiasm for rich media is a pivotal digital marketing trend.
"As the number of screens increases, rich media continues to have a pivotal role in the growth of display advertising," he said, adding: "This year mobile and video have really evolved the display space as we know it, and this is only going to continue as companies want to create more personalised and engaging branding ads for consumers to interact with across a range of different screens and platforms".
What other trends do you see in the advertising space in the next 12 months?

Best of the Year – Chris Marshall
Today's Best of the Year comes courtesy of my friend Chris Marshall, host of the fine Collected Comics Library podcast (which celebrated its landmark 200th programme just before Christmas) and the TwoMorrows Tune-In. Chris has been blogging and podcasting on all manner of graphic novels for a number of years, looking in detail at some, offering up insights, interviews and also giving a weekly breakdown of releases and newly announced titles, so I'm pretty keen to see what titles have been stand-outs for him in 2008:
1. Local Deluxe Hardcover (Oni Press) by Brian Wood and Ryan Kelly
A few years in the making and beautifully crafted. This excellent series gives us exactly what is advertised: a deluxe treatment with loads of extras — Omnibus' and Absolutes take note, all books don't have to be $100; this one comes at us with 384 pages and for only $29.99.
2. Willie & Joe WW II Years Slipcase (Fantagraphics) and Bill Mauldin: A Life Up Front by Todd DePastino (W.W. Norton)
I'm seeing the Willie & Joe WW II Years showing up on a lot of Top 10 lists for 2008, but that book is not complete without the biography of Bill Mauldin, which contains many Willie and Joe cartoons from WWII, post-WWII and also many rare and unseen work from his time at the Chicago Sun-Times. DePastino told me, himself, that a second slipcase is expected and should contain everything else that Mauldin did after the war.
3. Starman Omnibus Hardcover Volume 1 (DC Comics)
No "Best Of List For 2008" should be without The Starman Omnibus; in fact when it's all said and done all six omnibus volumes should be on a Best Complete Collected Editions Ever List should there ever be one (now there's a suggestion for the future – Joe).
Unlike the shoddy trade paperbacks DC did a few years ago (under James Robinson's supervision, mind you) the 80-plus issue run is finally being collected in its entirety including one-shots and mini-series. Tony Harris' artwork is superb and with Robinson's writing and modern take on the Golden Age, it waltzes in perfect harmony together. The first volume collects Starman issues #0 and #1 to 16; Volumes 2 and 3 are expected later in 2009.
4. Hellboy Library Edition Volume 1: Seed Of Destruction and Wake The Devil (Dark Horse)
Long-time readers of Hellboy were elated to revisit the character for the first time in all of his big, red, oversized glory. It was also nice to see a gold foil cloth cover instead of the usual paper dustjacket. This book included introductions by Robert Bloch and Alan Moore and also an expanded Mike Mignola sketchbook sections. Volume 2: The Chained Coffin, The Right Hand Of Doom came out in October and was equally impressive.
5. Absolute Sandman Volume 3 (DC Comics/Vertigo)
Collecting The Sandman issues #40 to 56, The Sandman Special #1, The Endless Gallery #1, and Stories From Vertigo Preview #1 and Vertigo: Winter's Edge #3; and Volume 4 collecting The Sandman #57 to 75 and a story from Vertigo Jam #1. No explanation or persuading should be necessary. Those of you with the first two volumes surely picked up these and you know how good they are.
6. American Flagg! Volume 1 Hardcover by Howard Chaykin (Image)
So you've read Watchmen, Dark Knight Returns, Secret Wars and Crisis on Infinite Earths. Well there's one more seminal book from the mid-1980's that you missed – and it is incumbent upon you to read it.
American Flagg! Is romp around a cyber-punk, sex, drugs and rock 'n roll with a neo-government run society that's full of cops, robbers and corruption. This is the first time ever that this series has been collected in a deluxe format. Plus there are additional cover paintings and promotional pieces by Chaykin, a Michael Chabon introduction an afterword by Jim Lee, and as a special bonus – a brand-new American Flagg! story written and illustrated by Chaykin exclusively for this edition.
7. Queen & Country: Definitive Edition Volumes 02 and 03 (Oni Press)
Oni Press continues to reprint the Greg Rucka spy thriller in these very affordable, easy to carry and easy to read 6×9" trade paperbacks. Any fans of espionage including James Bond, Jason Bourne, 24 or The Wire will be right at home with this very realistic look inside a British Intelligence Agency. Original scripts and concept drawings and more are included as extras. Volume 02 Collects issues #13 to 24; Volume 03 Collects issues #25 to 32. The final Volume 4 is expected in February 2009.
8. Nearly Complete Essential Hembeck Archives Omnibus (Image)
900 pages for £18.99. Oh man, let's type that again, 900 pages for £18.99. The original solicitation says it all, "All seven of his early '80s collections – Bah, Hembeck, The Hembeck Files, et al – are included, as well as rarely seen strips, personal commissions, online pieces, holiday cards, assorted oddities, and over a dozen stories ranging up to ten pages in length!". Funny as hell and it'll take you years to get through all the little nuances, hidden gems and Easter Eggs all while Hembeck laughs in your face!
9. Howard The Duck Omnibus Hardcover (Marvel)
I was filled with anticipation in the days leading up to the release of this Omnibus in February, but then tragedy struck – Steve Gerber passed away on nearly the same day that it was to be released. Marvel decided to delay the book until July and was able to include extras such as tribute pages and an updated afterword talking about the lives of Steve and Howard.
For those of you who have only read the black and white Essential volume, you really owe it to yourself to pick up this edition. The satire comes at you head on and that's by no mistake – cigar smoke and all. It also came in a Marko Djurdjevic Variant dustjacket design. Collects stories from Adventure Into Fear #19 Man-Thing #1 Giant-Size Man-Thing #4-5 Howard The Duck #1-33 Marvel Treasury Edition #12 and Marvel Team-Up #96.
10. The Spirit Archives Volume 25: The Dailies October 13, 1941-March 11, 1944 (DC Comics)
A late addition to the massive undertaking that DC started in 2000. OK, not as good as the Sunday strips, but this entire run has never been collected in one book before. I recommend you read it after The Spirit Archives (Sundays) Volume 8 January 2 to June 25, 1944 (Strips 188-213) to get a better sense of Spirit characters and history. This Archive also includes a foreword by Will Eisner originally written in 1980 for a collected edition series that republished the first 93 strips.

I found this recipe on TLT ( the little things). I had carrots left from the huge bag I bought at BJ's. There were a few cans of chickpeas in the cabinet and I all needed to pick up was feta. Adapted the recipe.

4 carrots, peeled and grated ( shredded in Cuisinart)
2 handfuls chopped cilantro ( used parsley)
2 cups feta, crumbled
4 eggs
2/3 cup rice flour ( used regular flour)
2 teaspoons baking powder
Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Vegetable oil, for frying ( used EVOO with a small amount of butter added to the EVOO)
some lemon, yogurt with mint and spinach leaves, to serve( didn't use)
Rinse and drain the chickpeas and give them a short pulse in the Cuisinart.
Add the chickpeas to a large bowl.
Shredded the carrots in the Cuisinart till they were a consistency I wanted, then add to the chickpeas.
I added the parsley which I cut fine and the feta to the chickpea and carrots.
Beat the 4 eggs before adding them to the above mixture.
Combined the flour and the baking powder and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl and then added to chickpea/carrot mixture and mix well.
Pour a small amount of EVOO into a fry pan and also add a pat of butter to the EVOO. When the oil started to sizzle, added formed fritters and cook until brown on each side.

KEELERTORNERO's KT-LAB: AN ART EXPEDITION – Forays into Painting
KT-LAB is a 2-3 year project in which we complete tasks set by specially selected Artists and creatives who then critique the work produced. The aim is to challenge our existing ideas about painting and art as a whole and to expand our vision by temporarily adopting the viewpoint of our chosen artists. We intend to share online as much of this experience as possible and through filmed interviews and studio visits we will offer an insight into the usually undisclosed world of everyday creative process. We also want to enter into dialogue with the Artists and the general public about the meaning and function of the Arts in todays society and we encourage everyone to get involved and become part of this conversation…
'We want to stretch ourselves, to expand our capabilities, to study and grow. We want to do it for ourselves… with a little help from our friends'
We have been collaborating as artists for more than 10 years, extensively exhibiting painting, drawing, collage, sculpture, installation and film but now want to focus on painting. We thought about applying for a postgraduate masters course as a duo, as this would enable us to concentrate on painting and evolve our practice, to expand our skills and develop our ideas, but like many of our peers, we can't afford the time or the fees involved. So what's the alternative? How else could we get the benefits of a full-time course? Could we construct our own course framework to fit our current life situations? Our proposal to devise a course from scratch to suit our needs:
- Appoint carefully chosen tutors – artists we admire – to set us tasks based on our course criteria and evaluate the results
- Interview these artists in their working environments about how they work, and why they work
- Set ourselves a programme of study and research spanning our interests in art history, themes, concepts and techniques
- Appoint a Dean of School to oversee proceedings and regularly assess our progress
- Document the whole process online as it develops and create a forum for commentary and debate involving art professionals and members of the general public
- Hold regular exhibitions showcasing the course outcomes
- Write a dissertation asking important questions about the nature of artistic integrity, what it means to be an artist and why art is important
- Potentially set a precedent for a viable alternative development and education framework for artists
Aims in brief
- To study painting and take KEELERTORNERO's practice to the point where we are fully equipped to express our ideas
- Promote a dialogue about painting and art - between artists, academics and the general public - around the relevance of art in past, present and future society
- To connect artists with other artists and help promote a healthy exchange of ideas, collaboration and criticism
- Promote a discussion about the state of art education in the UK and beyond, how it has changed and it's potential future
- To explore the nature of artistic collaboration and its associated issues
About KEELERTORNERO
Chin Keeler and Emma Tornero work collaboratively, intentionally replacing individual vision for animated dialogue, intuitively sourcing imagery or deliberating on a concept or theme.
'We create images in which the impossible becomes something perfectly natural, where characters play parts in an all-encompassing illusory world – a place of dreams and hallucinations, inhabited by strange beings living out their lives just beyond our peripheral vision. Presenting narratives of impossible geometry, we have cast a pantheon of players in an epic soap opera, a theatre of illusions and trap doors, where a fisherman from the island of Terschelling can rub shoulders with John Wayne trapped inside the body of a stag that's trying to escape his future by becoming the daughter of Mies van der Rohe.'

The Ketogenic Enterel Nutrition or KEN for short, is one of the most extreme diets to arrive in Britain and requires eating no food at all. Perhaps more surprisingly, the diet was invented by a world renowned specialist in artificial feeding, Italian Professor (Gianfranco Cappello) and introduced to Britain by a highly respected NHS consultant (Dr Ray Shidrawi).
This is a diet in the extreme. In fact, it's not really a diet in the true sense at all. A diet, according to Oxford Dictionaries means: (noun) the kinds of food that a person, animal or community habitually eats; or a special course of food to which a person restricts themselves, either to lose weight or for medical reasons; OR (verb) restrict oneself to small amounts of or special kinds of food in order to lose weight.
What is the Ketogenic Enteral Nutrition (KEN) Diet?
|Woman with Pump
Dieters must keep the tube in place all day and night, although they may remove it for a maximum of one hour per day for washing. During the daytime, dieters can carry the pump around with them, usually in a bag or backpack and must hang it up by their bed overnight.
Prospective followers of the KEN diet must undergo full medical checks and will be taught how to operate the pump. Daily routines include measuring Ketone concentration in their urine, monitoring their weight and bowel movements and noting how hungry they are on a scale of 1 to 10.
How Does the Diet Work?
The Ketogenic Enteral Nutrition diet works by drastically reducing the amount of calories each day by infusion of a protein liquid through a nasal gastric tube. This continual infusion creates a state of ketosis, much like the Atkins diet, whereby the body starts burning up fat resources for energy. This also removes feelings of hunger.
How Long Does the Diet Last?
The KEN lasts for an initial cycle of 10 days. This includes 24 hours a day receiving nutrients via the gastric tube. After the first cycle, dieters return to 'normal' eating whereby they should follow a healthy eating plan. After 10 days back on normal food, they can repeat another cycle of 10 days on the KEN. How many cycles are repeated should be discussed with the doctor.
Who is it Suitable For?
Anyone who needs to lose weight can follow the KEN diet apart from the following three categories:
1. People who can't take a normal amount of protein;
2. Those who are allergic to milk proteins;
3. Children less than 14 years old.
It could be suitable for those who have tried and failed to lose weight while following other more conventional diets. It could also be another route to try for those who are extremely overweight and want to avoid undergoing gastric surgery.
However, due to the fact that dieters must be attached to the drip for a minimum of 23 out of 24 hours a day, it may be difficult for those who have many social or other engagements away from the home.
How Much Weight Can You lose?
Those following the KEN diet can hope to lose between 7% to 10% of their initial body weight during the first 10-day cycle. Dieters then follow a healthy, weight maintenance diet for 10 days before commencing another 10 day cycle of KEN which promotes further weight loss.
What Can You Eat or Drink?
Dieters eat no solid food at all while on the diet. However, they can drink while the tube is in place. Drinks include water, chamomile tea or black tea and coffee without sugar or milk. The nutrition liquid which contains protein and nutrients, provides 130 calories each day.
Are There any Side Effects?
As might be expected from such an extreme diet, there are side effects. Most obvious side effects include:
ConstipationDue to the complete lack of fibre in the diet, constipation becomes an obvious problem. As such, dieters are supplied with laxatives and must test their urine on a daily basis.
Bad BreathIn common with other diets, such as the Atkins Diet, which restrict carbohydrates, bad breath can become an unpleasant side effect. This is due to the ketones created when the body starts burning its fat resources.
TirednessWhile dieters may not be particularly hungry, they can suffer from extreme tiredness. The huge calorie restriction is of course near starvation levels. Surviving on 130 calories a day means the body is using up its fat resources for energy and without a regular intake of carbohydrates and a balanced diet, those on the KEN diet are likely to feel drained after a few days.
Heartburn and Acid RefluxThis side effect is more likely if dieters forget to take medication which helps reduce the amount of acid in the stomach.
Nausea or VomitingTriggers can include a clogged gut or intestine or from taking the laxative too quickly.
How Much Does it Cost?
For treatment at Dr Shidrawi's London clinic the costs are £375 for the first 10 day cycle and £350 per subsequent cycle. This price includes hiring the pump, supplements and a tub of protein solution sufficient for 10 days.
The Ketogenic Enteral Nutrition Diet or KEN, was invented by Gianfranco Cappello, an associate professor of general surgery in Italy. Professor Cappello is a world specialist in artificial feeding who has successfully treated 40,000 patients, both obese and malnourished using the KEN method. The diet has been introduced to Britain by Dr Ray Shidrawi, a well respected consultant at the NHS Homerton University Hospital in London.

Noun 1. A bilobate sebaceous gland possessed by the majority of birds. It is located dorsally at the base of the tail (between the fourth caudal vertebrae and the pygostyle) and is greatly variable in both shape and size. In some species, the opening of the gland has a small tuft of feathers to provide a wick for the preen oil (see below). It is a holocrine gland enclosed in a connective tissue capsule made up of glandular acini that deposit their oil secretion into a common collector tube ending in a variable number of pores (openings), most usually two. Each lobe has a central cavity that collects the secretion from tubules arranged radially around the cavity. The gland secretion is conveyed to the surface via ducts that, in most species, open at the top of a papilla (nipple-like structure). (wikipedia.org) 2.

by Lenie Lectura – January 11, 2016
from Business Mirror
ABOITIZ Power Corp. strongly urged the government to assist the private sector in the development of a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal in the country to keep investors upbeat.
"To do it alone and put up your own facility by yourself, it cannot be done," Aboitiz Power CEO Erramon Aboitiz said.
LNG is a natural gas that has been converted into a liquid state for easier storage and transportation. Upon reaching its destination, LNG is regasified so it can be distributed through pipelines as natural gas.
The terminal could cost at least $1 billion.
"It's massive. It's something very difficult for one party to do alone. Maybe that's something government should do," Aboitiz said.
Asked to elaborate, he said, "Coming in, facilitating this terminal so that power producers can just buy the LNG. I think by doing that alone, without even mandating a certain percentage of LNG, that by itself will bring up the consumption of LNG."
Aside from Aboitiz Power, there are three more players very much interested in LNG projects. These include Meralco Powergen Corp., the power arm of distribution utility firm Manila Electric Co. (Meralco); First Gen Corp. of the Lopez group; and Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corp.
"Several groups in the power industry have been actually looking at LNG. We know that the First Gen group is very big on LNG and Meralco is also looking at it, but I believe all of us face the same problem, which is the cost of building a terminal of a certain size," Aboitiz said.
First Gen is planning to develop an LNG receiving, storage and regasification terminal using LNG imported from abroad, in order to address the expected depletion of Malampaya gas starting as early as 2022.
First Gen is currently the biggest gas-fired power producer in the country. It is the holding firm of the Lopez group's power business. It has an installed capacity of close to 3,000 megawatts, half of which is renewable, and the other half of which is natural gas.
First Gen continues to invest in gas "because right now there is no other choice except coal," First Gen President Francis Giles Puno said. "In a local community, for instance, what choices can the community opt for if there is no gas available? That's why we are bringing in LNG to provide the community that kind of choice."
Shell, meanwhile, has been pushing for an energy- mix policy to ensure that there is market, or off-takers, for imported LNG. It has also been batting for the grant of incentives to the private sector that will be involved in the development of an LNG facility, because such investment is capital intensive.
"We've been pushing for an energy mix. If you don't have that, the default of independent power producers is to build coal-fired power plants," Shell Country Chairman Edgar Chua earlier said, adding that off-takers would only sign up if there's a policy that guarantees there's a market for power produced from LNG.
Meralco Chairman Manuel Pangilinan earlier stressed the need for government to provide a well-crafted study on LNG, particularly on a plan to bid out the construction of a 105-kilometer gas pipeline that will run from Batangas to Manila.
The project, more known as "Bat-Man" gas pipeline, had been proposed in previous administrations but failed to kick off primarily on concerns regarding supply of gas and sufficient demand.
One concern that government should focus on is off-takers of LNG, said Pangilinan.
"Who will be the consumers? Why will you build it when there is no sure market? It could be the industrial customers and the power plants but then you have got to import the gas eventually," said Pangilinan when asked if his group is interested to joint the auction should it push through this year.
"You have to build a re-gas facility somewhere -Bataan, Batangas, Cavite. You will import LNG so you have to re-gas it and push it to the pipeline and then of course, who buys the gas? It could be industrial customers, but then eventually, when you satisfy the demand, who else? Also, you have to pipe the gas. That'sexpensive."
All these factors, Pangilinan said, must be thoroughly planned.
"So, we really need to plan everything. Why build something in the first place if there is no market? Importation of gas is also another factor. The regas facility and the pipeline are also needed," Panigilinan said.
