Nude Massage Parlours For Erotic Massage
There are many different types of erotic massages and there is a definite consensus amongst women as to what makes a parlour most erotic. The best massage parlours combine fine touches, energy work, and sensual music to create an erotic and unique atmosphere. Nudity can be a very important aspect of any erotic massage to add a bit of spice to the entire experience.
When you listen to sensual music, your mind begins to drift into deeper states of relaxation. You are more open to suggestions and your body responds accordingly. Some people say that this relaxing state is the cause of orgasms.
Nuru is also known as the "Greek God of love". In Greek mythology, Nuru's daughter was turned into a goat so he could make a golden rope for Aphrodite, Goddess of Love.
If you can find a parlour with a beautiful background and soothing background, you can look forward to a sexy and erotic massage. The warm glow of the room adds to the ambiance. You can also expect a better quality service when you go to a parlour where you can get a higher quality of massage.

You should not always be in a hurry to book an erotic massage on the first massage parlour you visit. It is important to choose a parlour which has a relaxed atmosphere and will give you a pleasant experience.
Choose a parlour that has a pleasingly comfortable chair or seat and have a seat-to-seat tour of the parlour. Find out if the parlour has its own equipment and discuss which equipment you want to use before you choose a massage.
Choose a parlour that offers a lot of special equipment for you to use. Many people like to choose a masseuse who also has products to use for relaxation enhancement. In many instances, it is possible to opt for special equipment when you book the massage.
Nuru is the Greek Goddess of love and eroticism. Her temple was near to the temple of Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love.
You may feel shy to ask a masseuse to perform an erotic massage, especially if you know little about erotic massage. However, a good masseuse is able to provide erotic massages on request.
When booking an erotic massage, find out whether the masseuse has chosen the correct equipment. If you are familiar with erotic massage, you can relax and enjoy the massage.
Be careful to follow the instructions of the masseuse carefully. Also, be sure to have some candles or incense near the massage table to set the mood.
After a wonderful and erotic massage, you may wish to relax a bit before falling asleep in your partner's arms. Choose a parlour with a relaxing atmosphere and a safe environment.

Canada hosted the first Meeting of the Parties to the Kyoto Protocol in Montreal in conjunction with the eleventh session of the Conference of the Parties to the Climate Change Convention.
The conference was an historic event. The Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) met for the 11th time, while marking the entry into force of the Kyoto Protocol. At Montreal, the first ever Conference of the Parties serving as the Meeting of the Parties to the Protocol (CMP) ran parallel to the Conference of the Parties to the Convention (COP). The United Nations Climate Change Conference was the largest intergovernmental climate conference since the Kyoto Protocol was adopted in 1997. Some 10,000 participants attended.
The conference attracted unprecedented business interest as a result of two operation trading systems: the pan-European emissions trading scheme and the Clean Development Mechanism, a tool to promote sustainable development and combat climate change.

Today, companies regularly generate terabytes of data in their daily operations. The sources include everything from data captured from network sensors, to the Web, social media, transactional business data, and data created in other business contexts. Given the volume of data being generated, real-time computation has become a major challenge faced by many organizations. A scalable real-time computation system that we have used effectively is the open-source Storm tool, which was developed at Twitter and is sometimes referred to as "real-time Hadoop." However, Storm is far simpler to use than Hadoop in that it does not require mastering an alternate universe of new technologies simply to handle big data jobs.
This article explains how to use Storm. The example project, called "Speeding Alert System," analyzes real-time data and raises a trigger and relevant data to a database, when the speed of a vehicle exceeds a predefined threshold.
Whereas Hadoop relies on batch processing, Storm is a real-time, distributed, fault-tolerant, computation system. Like Hadoop, it can process huge amounts of databut does so in real time with guaranteed reliability; that is, every message will be processed. Storm also offers features such as fault tolerance and distributed computation, which make it suitable for processing huge amounts of data on different machines. It has these features as well:
- It has simple scalability. To scale, you simply add machines and change parallelism settings of the topology. Storm's usage of Hadoop's Zookeeper for cluster coordination makes it scalable for large cluster sizes.
- It guarantees processing of every message.
- Storm clusters are easy to manage.
- Storm is fault tolerant: Once a topology is submitted, Storm runs the topology until it is killed or the cluster is shut down. Also, if there are faults during execution, reassignment of tasks is handled by Storm.
- Topologies in Storm can be defined in any language, although typically Java is used.
To follow the rest of the article, you first need to install and set up Storm. The steps are straightforward:
- Download the Storm archive from the official Storm website.
- Unpack the bin/ directory onto your PATH and make sure the bin/storm script is executable.
Storm Components
A Storm cluster mainly consists of a master and worker node, with coordination done by Zookeeper.
Master Node:
The master node runs a daemon, Nimbus, which is responsible for distributing the code around the cluster, assigning the tasks, and monitoring failures. It is similar to the Job Tracker in Hadoop.
Worker Node:
The worker node runs a daemon, Supervisor, which listens to the work assigned and runs the worker process based on requirements. Each worker node executes a subset of a topology. The coordination between Nimbus and several supervisors is managed by a Zookeeper system or cluster.
Zookeeper is responsible for maintaining the coordination service between the supervisor and master. The logic for a real-time application is packaged into a Storm "topology." A topology consists of a graph of spouts (data sources) and bolts (data operations) that are connected with stream groupings (coordination). Let's look at these terms in greater depth.
In simple terms, a spout reads the data from a source for use in the topology. A spout can either be reliable or unreliable. A reliable spout makes sure to resend a tuple (which is an ordered list of data items) if Storm fails to process it. An unreliable spout does not track the tuple once it's emitted. The main method in a spout is
nextTuple(). This method either emits a new tuple to the topology or it returns if there is nothing to emit.
A bolt is responsible for all the processing that happens in a topology. Bolts can do anything from filtering to joins, aggregations, talking to files/databases, and so on. Bolts receive the data from a spout for processing, which may further emit tuples to another bolt in case of complex stream transformations. The main method in a bolt is
execute(), which accepts a tuple as input. In both the spout and bolt, to emit the tuple to more than one stream, the streams can be declared and specified in
Stream Groupings:
A stream grouping defines how a stream should be partitioned among the bolt's tasks. There are built-in stream groupings provided by Storm: shuffle grouping, fields grouping, all grouping, one grouping, direct grouping, and local/shuffle grouping. Custom implementation by using the
CustomStreamGrouping interface can also be added.
For our use case, we designed one topology of spout and bolt that can process a huge amount of data (log files) designed to trigger an alarm when a specific value crosses a predefined threshold. Using a Storm topology, the log file is read line by line and the topology is designed to monitor the incoming data. In terms of Storm components, the spout reads the incoming data. It not only reads the data from existing files, but it also monitors for new files. As soon as a file is modified, spout reads this new entry and, after converting it to tuples (a format that can be read by a bolt), emits the tuples to the bolt to perform threshold analysis, which finds any record that has exceeded the threshold.
The next section explains the use case in detail.
Threshold Analysis
In this article, we will be mainly concentrating on two types of threshold analysis: instant threshold and time series threshold.
- Instant threshold checks if the value of a field has exceeded the threshold value at that instant and raises a trigger if the condition is satisfied. For example, it raises a trigger if the speed of a vehicle exceeds 80 km/h.
- Time series threshold checks if the value of a field has exceeded the threshold value for a given time window and raises a trigger if the same is satisfied. For example, it raises a trigger if the speed of a vehicle exceeds 80 km/h more than once in last five minutes.
Listing One shows a log file of the type we'll use, which contains vehicle data information such as vehicle number, speed at which the vehicle is traveling, and location in which the information is captured.
Listing One: A log file with entries of vehicles passing through the checkpoint.
AB 123, 60, North city
BC 123, 70, South city
CD 234, 40, South city
DE 123, 40, East city
EF 123, 90, South city
GH 123, 50, West city
A corresponding XML file is created, which consists of the schema for the incoming data. It is used for parsing the log file. The schema XML and its corresponding description are shown in the table.
The XML file and the log file are in a directory that is monitored by the spout constantly for real-time changes. The topology we use for this example is shown in Figure 1.
Figure 1: Topology created in Storm to process real-time data.
As shown in Figure 1, the
FileListenerSpout accepts the input log file, reads the data line by line, and emits the data to the
ThresoldCalculatorBolt for further threshold processing. Once the processing is done, the contents of the line for which the threshold is calculated is emitted to the
DBWriterBolt, where it is persisted in the database (or an alert is raised). The detailed implementation for this process is explained next.
Spout Implementation
Spout takes a log file and the XML descriptor file as the input. The XML file consists of the schema corresponding to the log file. Let us consider an example log file, which has vehicle data information such as vehicle number, speed at which the vehicle is travelling, and location in which the information is captured. (See Figure 2.)

The chaps in the photograph are obviously in some sort of uniform. I think that there are some clues that suggest they are railway workers.
I can read the initials MR on the cap of the man on the right of the photograph. I suspect that this is the Midland Railway company. The visible pocket watch chain worn by the man second left indicates to me that he is probably a railway worker.
I don't recognise anyone in the photograph. However my grandfather, Joseph Dawson, worked for London, Midland & Scottish Railway company and may well have worked for the predecessor the Midland Railway company.
I am really hopeless at trying to date photographs. But if there is a connection with my grandfather I guess it would have been taken around the 1920 period and before MR became LMS.
If anyone has any other suggestion I would be happy to hear it.

This is surgery to replace a damaged heart valve. The heart's four valves open and tightly close. The tricuspid and mitral valves allow blood to flow from one chamber to another. The pulmonary and aortic valves allow blood to flow to the large blood vessels. The valves make it so that blood can only flow forward when the heart squeezes. Usually, only one valve is replaced at a time. However, at times, one or more valves may need to be replaced. The new heart valves can be:
- Mechanical, made of metal and plastic, such as a St. Jude valve
- Made of tissue—most commonly from a pig or a cow, but they may also be supplied by a human donor or even made from your own tissue
|Aortic Valve Replacements: Mechanical vs. Tissue
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Reasons for Procedure
This procedure is done to repair a valve that is not functioning properly due to:
- Congenital defects
- Narrowed, stiff valves that obstruct the free flow of blood
- Loose, leaky valves that allow blood to flow the wrong way through the heart
- Infected heart valves
Possible Complications
If you are planning to have heart valve replacement, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
- Infection
- Blood clots forming around the valve, which can cause a stroke , heart attack , kidney damage, or damage to the extremities
- New valve does not work properly
- Bleeding
- Anesthesia-related problems
- Death
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
- Smoking
- Pre-existing heart or lung condition
- Increased age
- Recent or long-term illness
- Recent infection
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may do the following:
- Physical exam
- Echocardiogram —a test that uses sound waves to visualize functioning of the heart, including the valves
- X-ray —a test that uses radiation to take a picture of structures inside the body
- ECG —a test that records the electrical activity of the heart
- Cardiac catheterization —the insertion of a tube-like instrument into the heart through an artery to detect problems with the heart and its blood supply. It can also accurately define the valve problem.
Leading up to your procedure:
- Talk to your doctor about your medications. You may be asked to stop taking some medications up to one week before the procedure.
- Arrange for a ride to and from the hospital.
- Arrange for help at home after the surgery.
- Eat a light meal the night before the surgery. Do not eat or drink anything after midnight.
General anesthesia will be used. It will block any pain and keep you asleep through the surgery. It is given through an IV.
Description of the Procedure
The doctor will cut through the skin and breastbone. The chest cavity will be opened. Next, your heart will be connected to a heart-lung machine. This machine will take over the functions of the heart and lungs during the surgery. Next, the heart will be stopped. An incision will be made and the damaged valve will be removed. The new valve will be stitched into place. The doctor will check to make sure the valve opens and closes properly. The incision in the heart will be closed, and the heart will be restarted. After the heart is working fine, you will be removed from the heart-lung machine. The chest will be closed with wires. Lastly, the skin will be closed with sutures.
Immediately After Procedure
You will be closely monitored in the intensive care unit (ICU) with the help of the following devices:
- A heart monitor
- A breathing tube—until you can breathe on your own
- Chest tubes—to drain excess fluids from the chest
- A line into an artery in your arm or leg—to measure pressure
- A tube through your nose and into the stomach—to keep the stomach drained of excess fluids and gas
- An IV to deliver fluids and medications
- A bladder catheter
How Long Will It Take?
3-5 hours—depending on how many valves need to be replaced
How Much Will It Hurt?
You will have pain while recovering. Your doctor will give you pain medication.
Average Hospital Stay
This procedure is done in a hospital setting. The usual length of stay is 2-5 days. The first day is spent in ICU. You may need to stay longer if complications occur.
Post-procedure Care
While you are recovering at the hospital, you may be instructed to:
- Breathe deeply and cough 10-20 times every hour to help keep your lungs working well.
- Walk with assistance. You may be encouraged to walk 2-3 days after surgery.
- Take blood thinners to prevent blood clots from forming around the valve. If you have a tissue valve, you will not need a blood thinner. If you have a mechanical valve, you will have to take the medication for the rest of your life.
To help with your recovery, you may need to:
- Take medications to control pain or prevent blood clots.
- Care for the wound to prevent infection.
- Work with a physical therapist.
Call Your Doctor
After you leave the hospital, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge from the incision site
- Persistent nausea or vomiting
- Pain that you cannot control with the medications you were given
- Cough, shortness of breath, or chest pain
- Coughing up blood
- Rapid heart rate
- Sudden headache or feeling faint
- Problems with vision or speaking
- Numbness or weakness on one side of your body
- Inability to urinate
- Pain, burning, urgency, frequency of urination, or persistent bleeding in the urine
- Pain and/or swelling in your feet, calves, or legs
If you think you have an emergency, call for emergency medical services right away.

My book "Expecting Better" stops at the delivery room, but the decisions definitely do not. Here is the first big one I faced not as a pregnant woman but as a new mom.
My daughter was born at 7 pounds 12 ounces, and because she arrived first thing in the morning, we got two nights in the hospital. On the second night they took her away for some kind of test, and came back to inform me that she had lost 11 percent of her body weight. Since the hospital's limit was 10 percent, I would have to start giving her formula or — and this is a direct quote — "She might not be able to go home with you."
The data-driven part of me thought, "wait a minute, aren't 11 percent and 10 percent basically the same?" The hormone-crazed post-partum mom part thought, "I will do anything under the sun to take my baby home." And so I found myself taping together some kind of elaborate tubing system so Penelope would think she was nursing but really be getting formula.
I remember thinking to myself, "I really should research this weight-loss issue." But then they did let me take her home, and I completely forgot about the issue until months later a friend told me that she experienced the same thing. It seems to be a pretty common situation — another friend was told to save all the diapers her kid produced to weigh them. So what's the deal?
The big concern with excess weight loss is it could reflect dehydration (if the baby isn't getting enough milk), and this can have very bad consequences, like a stroke. This is rare, but has been observed in case studies. The babies in these studies have lost a lot of weight — say, 20 percent by 8 days after birth — but the broad concerns are the same even if your baby hasn't lost as much.
In terms of what is normal: Based on one study, the average breastfed baby will lose about 7 percent of his or her body weight in the first three days. Five percent of babies will lose 12 percent or more. Formula fed babies lose much less. By drawing the line at 10 percent for encouraging supplementation, as many hospitals do, about 10 percent of breastfed babies will fall below the cutoff (and less than 2 percent of formula-fed babies).
Of course, an equally important issue was whether giving some formula early on would impact my ability to successfully breastfeed later. In fact, it seems like the answer is no — this based on one recent randomized trial and one older one.
So had I known all of this at 3 a.m. on the day after delivery, what would I have done? I still would have gone ahead with the formula. While 10 percent (or 11 in my child's case) weight loss isn't a real reason to panic, in principle there are serious consequences, and 10 percent is on the high end. And there is really no downside to a small amount of formula at this point. I also would have paid much more attention to how much my daughter was peeing. Since dehydration will show up in reduced urine output, that is an important sign alongside weight loss that something should be done.

SAN FRANCISCO—Two of the world's most powerful tech CEOs—Oracle's Larry Ellison and Google's Larry Page—testified in the same San Francisco courtroom today, presenting very different portraits of Google's behavior while building its Android operating system.
The all-star day of testimony was the second day of trial in Oracle v. Google, a lawsuit about whether Google violated copyright and patent rights that Oracle acquired when it purchased Sun Microsystems in 2009.
Google's opening: "The Java language is free and open"
Oracle's argument is that while Java is an open-source language free to all, using the APIs as Google did requires a license—and the fact that Google doesn't have one puts them on the wrong side of copyright law.
Today Google responded to that argument, as its lead lawyer, Robert Van Nest, gave a one-hour opening statement to the jury this morning. The Java APIs are free for all to use, just like the Java language itself, Van Nest told the jury—and Google built Android on its own, from scratch. When it was finished, Java's creator, Sun Microsystems, wasn't angry. It didn't come demanding royalty payments. In fact, Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz congratulated Google publicly and welcomed Android.
"The Java language is free and open; it's been in the public domain for years," Van Nest said. "And those APIs you heard about, they are necessary just to use the language. Without the APIs, the language is basically useless."
Building Android took three years and thousands of engineering hours. It was built from the ground up, Van Nest said, not by copying Sun or anyone else. After months of combing through the 15 million lines of source code that make up Android, Oracle lawyers have found exactly nine lines of code that are the same as Sun's code, Van Nest said. And, he promised, the jury will get an explanation about even those nine lines. "They were originally written when [a Google engineer] worked at Sun. He made a mistake, and those nine lines of code shouldn't have been in there."
As for the damning e-mails shown by Oracle's lawyers the day before—the ones where Google execs and engineers talked about their need for a Sun license—those were misleading. They were part of an extended negotiation between Sun and Google that ultimately didn't pan out, Van Nest said. When Google was strategizing about Android, it considered bringing on Sun as a partner but ultimately decided not to. Sun recognized Google's right to build Android using Java on its own. Android "has strapped a set of rockets to the Java community," Sun CEO Schwartz wrote in a congratulatory blog post back in 2007, which was shown to the jury today. "We welcome Android to the Java community."
The real story, Van Nest said, was that Oracle had tried, but failed, to get into the smartphone market itself. Oracle had a secret project called "Java Phone," to build a smartphone OS using Java. It never got past the research stage. It was Google who had succeeded, beyond anyone's expectations. So now? "They [Oracle] want to share in Android's profits, without having done a thing to create that profit," said Van Nest.
Larry Ellison on the stand: "The only company that hasn't taken any license... is Google."
Larry Ellison was called as Oracle's first witness not long after the opening statement. Wearing a gray suit and purplish tie, Ellison walked casually to the witness stand and was sworn in. He was smooth and calm as his lawyer, David Boies, walked him through Oracle's story about the Java acquisition.
Oracle today has more than 100,000 employees, Ellison testified, and spends upwards of $5 billion on research and development. Nearly all of that goes towards creating new software.
"Would it be possible without copyright protection?" asked Boies.
"Well, no," said Ellison. "If people could copy our software—create cheap knockoffs of our products—we wouldn't be able to pay for our engineering."
At times Ellison came off more like a technical witness than a CEO, explaining to the jury how APIs worked or the structure of Java. He emphasized the value of both the design and the content of Oracle's programs. These are key points considering Oracle is making a copyright claim against Android despite the fact it has only a small sliver of copied code to show.
Ellison's testimony stressed that the APIs Oracle wants licensing money for are no small thing. Creating APIs "is arguably one of the most difficult things we do at Oracle," said Ellison. "It's done by our most senior and talented software engineers."
Even though Java code was published openly, every company that used Java APIs needed to take some kind of license for it. (One of the licenses available was the free GNU Public License, although Ellison said that even a company using Java under the GPL would have to run, and pay for, a compatibility test called the TCK.)
"The only company I know that hasn't taken any of these licenses is Google," said Ellison.
During cross-examination, Van Nest emphasized Oracle's aborted attempt to get into the smartphone business, asking about a confidential plan Oracle code-named "Java Phone." E-mails showed, and Ellison acknowledged, that Oracle was eager to negotiate with Android manufacturers. The company even considered buying both Palm and RIM. (Ellison ultimately decided that Palm's technology wasn't competitive, and RIM was too expensive.)
Ellison downplayed the documents Van Nest displayed to the jury, dismissing them as brainstorming that didn't go anywhere. "I had the idea, we explored the idea--and I decided it would be a bad idea," he said.
Larry Page on the stand: "I don't think we did anything wrong."
After Ellison's testimony, Oracle vice-president Thomas Kunian testified about the company's licensing practices for a bit more than an hour.
With just 20 minutes left before the end of the trial day came at 1:00 pm, Oracle lawyers called Google CEO Larry Page as their next witness. (Judge William Alsup, who has a reputation as a workhorse, is keeping the Oracle-Google dispute to a strict 7:30 am to 1:00 pm schedule each day, hearing his criminal cases in the afternoon.)
Page had been waiting in the hallway outside the courtroom, trailed discreetly by a beefy security guy. He emerged from a meeting room down the hall, and was quickly joined by a coterie of lawyers before the group huddled in an alcove next to the courtroom. The group laughed in hushed tones as Page joked about something. The court security officer indicated it was time to go in, and they did, followed by a few reporters re-entering the court.
In court, Page's demeanor was strange, almost overly focused. Someone had clearly prepped him by telling him to smile, and make eye contact with the jury. He certainly did both. In fact, he never stopped. The constant smiling and staring made him look somewhat maniacal at times. As David Boies grilled him about the creation of Android, Page answered his most of his questions without even glancing in his direction. Boies started off by focusing on the "clean room" approach Google had used in building Android.
"You understand a 'clean room' would be a project that had people in it who did not use, reference, or know, the intellectual property of someone else?"
"It's a process used to develop software where you carefully control the information you use to do that," replied Page.
"So you understood that you might be able to use something that was publicly available in a clean room," said Boies. "But you could not use somebody else's copyrighted material, and could not use developers who referenced or knew someone else's copyrighted material, right?"
"I don't think we did anything wrong," during the process, said Page. He acknowledged he didn't know all the details of the clean room work for Android, and didn't supervise it himself.
Boies kept asking about the 'clean room' until Alsup actually cut off his questioning, telling him he was getting too close to dictating the details of copyright law himself (which is the judge's role). "Be mindful that there are [legal] decisions on reverse engineering and fair use," said Alsup. "You're getting very close to getting into issues of law." Boies thanked the judge but continued with the 'clean room' questions.
"Within the software industry, is there a recognized understanding of what a 'clean room' is?" asked Boies.
"Well, yeah," said Page. "And I have no reason to think we did anything that was not in accordance with that."
"If you discovered Android had lines of code that were literally copied—would that be a violation of Google's policy?"
"That seems like a hypothetical question," said Page. "But in general, yeah, we would take that seriously."
Shortly after that, Alsup cut Boies off. "This is getting argumentative," said Alsup. "It's best to move on to something else. You made your point."
Boies wrapped up the day just a few minutes after that line of questioning was shut down. Page will be back on the witness stand tomorrow morning.

Deep Pot Light Pendant by Jayne Young
The idea of transforming a 100 year old copper cooking pot into a "one of a kind" light fixture began several years ago while the artist was traveling in Mexico. Their lunch was prepared by a mother and daughter just the way their ancestors has, over an open fire in a handcrafted copper pot. After the lunch, the pot was purchased and a truly unique lighting collection was born. The vision to see a magnificent light fixture out of a common cooking pot is truly creative but to be able to chooses that as a recycler is wonderful.

Last week, French-language Apple site MacBidouille published a rumor saying that Apple's latest iMac refresh would be delayed because of a manufacturing issue. Now, 9to5Mac has followed up with its own sources and is reporting that the all-in-one desktops are still on schedule for November and December launches (for the 21.5-inch and 27-inch models, respectively).
The report goes on to say that 21.5-inch models are now shipping to Apple's distribution hubs, and that there is a "high chance" that the 27-inch models will be available for ordering at around the same time as the smaller desktops, despite not shipping for a few weeks afterward. Even if the new models do make their shipping deadlines, though, Tim Cook warned in the company's most recent earnings call that "supplies would be constrained in a significant way," indicating that Apple may still have issues meeting pent-up demand.
For impatient iMac users who have been waiting for a refresh since April, when Ivy Bridge processors suitable for iMacs first appeared, this is just the latest twist of the knife. They haven't been waiting as long as Mac Pro users have, but it's proof positive that Apple's priorities are shifting as Mac sales become a smaller percentage of the company's profits, and as its desktops become an even smaller percentage of that small percentage.

To Learn about the Materials used in the making of this sign, refer to the Tab called "Material Descriptions..."
1. Hazard Classification: Signal Word Selection
The first element to consider when designing or selecting a product safety label is to determine the likelihood and severity of a potential injury if a person does not follow the instructions contained on the safety label or sign.
There are four Signal Words or Hazard Classifications used in the design of an ANSI Z535.4 2007 compliant safety label: "DANGER", "WARNING", "CAUTION" and "NOTICE"
Click on this link to view Signal Word Classification
Click on image to Zoom →
Safety Alert Symbol: Use & Color Definition
ANSI Z535.4 2007 Revision has clarified the Safety Alert Symbol, use and respective colors, it has also incorporated the ISO 3864-1 general warning symbol as an alternate option. See image to learn how to use the safety alert symbol, what colors it should be, and when the use of certain versions (Image D & E) will comply with ISO 3864-2 as well.
2. Safety Label Format: Message Panel
The message panel of any new ANSI Z535.4 2007 compliant sign or label must contain:
- Identification of the hazard
- Identification of a means to avoid the hazard
- And the consequences of not avoiding the hazard
The order in which the information appears in the message panel is flexible and should be determined by logical factors related to avoiding an injury, such as:
- The target audiences knowledge of the hazard
- And the reaction time to avoid the hazard.
In addition, we recommend, when formatting the message pane,l to consider the following practices:
- Use headline style text
- Use active voice statements
- Avoid prepositional phrases

3. Safety Symbols:
ANSI Z535.4 encourages the use of safety symbols that communicate a comparable message to the worded message on the sign or label. The safety symbol when selected properly, should identify:
- The hazard
- Identify a means of avoiding the hazard
- Or identify the consequences of not avoiding the hazard.
The safety symbol should clarify or reinforce the worded message on the label. There are four types of safety symbols used on ANSI Z535.4 compliant product safety label. When using safety symbols to comply with ANSI, the symbol can be black on a white background, other colors may be used, like safety red for fire related symbols, and so on.
To comply with both ANSI Z535.4 and ISO 3864, then the following applies, ISO 3864 2002 standards required that all of the safety symbols used on international product safety labels be within a surround shape, yellow equilateral triangle with black inner border for hazard alerting symbols, blue circle for mandatory actions, and red circle with 45° degree slash for prohibition symbols. ANSI Z535.4 2002 does not required the use of a yellow equilateral triangle or the mandatory surround shape but, it does recognize it and permits their use.

4. Safety Label: Letter Size Legibility
Determining the safe viewing distance of a sign depends upon many factors:
type font and visual acuity.
Other factors to consider in determining sign size include:
the complexity of the message, the reaction time necessary and the angle the label will be seen from.
In many situations it is better to use multiple smaller labels that are strategically positioned than one large label.
Many times letter size may need to be larger than the values shown on the graphic for a variety of reasons:
To make the sign more noticeable from other information displayed in the area.
To enable legibility under low light, or other poor viewing conditions.
To alert persons sooner than the minimum safe viewing distance.
To convey special importance for portions of the message.
To improve legibility for persons who have vision problems with small text.
Example of text message letter heights and *minimum safe viewing distances.
* Minimum safe viewing distance refers to the closest distance a person can be to the label and still have time to follow the safety label's message to avoid the hazard.

5. Safety Labels: Recommended Label Placement
It is well recognized that in many instances, well designed and properly placed safety labels can increase operator and maintenance personnel awareness of the inherent hazards involved when working with machinery.
When installing labels on equipment we recommend to keep in mind the following criteria:
- Label needs to be readily visible to the target audience (personnel that will be in contact with the hazard)
- Label needs to alert the viewer to the hazard in time to take appropriate action.
- Labels are required to be applied on or adjacent to the area where the hazard is present.
- Labels are required to be permanently affixed to the equipment.
- Ensure the surface to which the label(s) will be applied on is clean and free of dirt, dust, grease and moisture. If the surface is painted, paint must be dry.
- Press the label on after applying it to the surface. One or more passes over with a rag or roller will ensure that the label is completely glued on the surface and will not fall off.

As I strolled through a space I stopped to enjoy a group that were fucking on a bed in the corner, however prior to I might completely value the tangle of limbs I heard that joyful, classy voice once again. I sat down and we began talking once again, this time about how long the tidy up took and if she was OKAY.
What an experience this was. Moderate mannered, middle aged guy, being drawn off by an extremely unclean chic slut as other men are being wanked off by her.
The person to my right started groaning, pressed her hand off his dick and then getting her hair intended his dick at her face. I roamed around and saw all sorts of enjoyable, a couple of times I had my dick rubbed by another attractive woman however I understood what I truly desired.
Ultimately this roadway wound up with me nervously parking my automobile outside a dull looking cottage near London one Friday night, what occurred that night was mind blowing for me.
All the time we talked I attempted not to gaze at the amazing cleavage on screen however I believe I need to have lost the fight since she joked about it. She then strolled off and stated "See you later on". I was identified to get more!
She 'd returned to drawing off among the other men, however she picked up a 2nd and searched for at me, once again that sweet smile (although the red lipstick was a little smudged by now) "Hello once again" she stated "What have you got for me?" as she ran a turn over the bulge of my tough dick.
This chic young woman with the amazing body was drawing dick, wanking dick, having her hair pulled carefully, her huge tits were being searched, her nipples carefully pinched and at least one hand was in between her legs and looked like it was fingering her pussy. As I viewed one chap who was having his dick wanked off by her begun to groan and then spunked over her tits. I looked up at the ceiling and put my hands behind my head and started carefully thrusting my dick in between her lips, carefully fucking her mouth.
With that she carefully licked my shaft from balls to tip, all the while holding eye contact, a fast taste of my currently leaking precum and after that she took the idea of my dick into her mouth. As she did this she continued wanking off the men either side of me and I focused on an extremely expert blowjob from the girl. I searched for at the ceiling and put my hands behind my head and started carefully thrusting my dick in between her lips, carefully fucking her mouth sluts Carramar 2163 NSW, swingers Carramar 2163 NSW, strip club Carramar 2163 NSW, booty call Carramar 2163 NSW, SEX IN Carramar 2163 NSW, women looking for men Carramar 2163 NSW, courtesan Carramar 2163 NSW, call girl Carramar 2163 NSW, Rub And Tug Carramar 2163 NSW, gfe Carramar 2163 NSW, casual sex Carramar 2163 NSW, whores Carramar 2163 NSW, hookers Carramar 2163 NSW.
She was having a hard time to open a bottle of white wine therefore I did the gentleman thing and provided to assist. She gratefully accepted with a stunning smile and after that I talked to her, all the time taking in the view however hoping I didn't stumble upon as a dirty old man.
The person to my right started groaning, pressed her hand off his dick and then getting her hair intended his dick at her face. This load of spunk struck the good woman on the side of her face, all over my dick, in her hair and unfortunately, right in her eye. Mr Cum Blaster rapidly moved away and simply disappeared, leaving a path of untidy destruction behind him.
I reversed my pants and launched my dick and she looked extremely happy. Now, I do not indicate to boast however I'm fortunately blessed in the dick department and I was, by rather a method, the biggest chap because group.
She was close to 6 feet high in what were killer heels, long shapely legs and not what you 'd explain as slim, more detailed to BBW area however not much fat at all, more shaped like she invested time in the health club. Really quite with stunning red lips, shortish red hair and the bit I was frantically attempting not to look at ... a substantial set of boobs that were doing their finest to get away an extremely tight white blouse with a V neck plunge.
I 'd gotten a welcome to a swingers celebration as a single chap and although I 'd done great deals of reading on what to anticipate, in truth I had no concept what was going to take place.
The enjoyment was amazing and I took my time to take it all in. That's when I saw the young girl who is the topic of this story.
This classy young woman with the incredible body was drawing dick, wanking dick, having her hair pulled carefully, her huge tits were being searched, her nipples carefully pinched and at least one hand was in between her legs and looked like it was fingering her pussy. Evaluating by the sounds coming from her she was having an excellent time. As I enjoyed one chap who was having his dick wanked off by her begun to groan and then spunked over her tits.
I attempted to keep her in my sight however I got sidetracked and lost her, just to discover her a little later in a movie theater. Talking once again wasn't a choice this time since she was surrounded by guys and was really hectic. She was sat up, skirt hitched up, legs broad apart and of course the black nylons were stockings.
The rest of us assisted the young woman tidy up and her other half brought loads of tissues, however the minute was absolutely over. Her hubby stated "There's constantly one, sorry gents however it's tidy up time" and assisted his beautiful spouse to her feet, who was still laughing as she cleaned orgasm off of her face.
This took place about 10 years earlier. I remained in my mid forties, just recently separated and after a long sexual dry spell I chose to toss myself headlong into getting as much sex as I could. Together with all the normal methods chaps do this I began checking out swinging and casual link.
I roamed around and viewed all sorts of enjoyable, a couple of times I had my dick rubbed by another hot girl however I understood what I truly desired. I 'd never ever truly been brought in to the bigger lady previously, however the young woman in the white blouse became my outright objective for the night.

Harry Dawson is my great uncle – he was my grandfather's brother. He was born on 25 March 1895 in Keighley, West Yorkshire, to parents James Dawson and Emma Buckley.
I recently found Harry's naval records on The National Archives website – before then I had no idea at all that he had served in the navy during WW1.
This is my first attempt at interpreting naval records so I am not very confident at deciphering the information.
It looks like Harry signed up on 24 June 1914 for five years service. Until 22 October 1914 he served on / at Victory II. From the research I have done I understand Victory II was the Crystal Palace / Sydenham training base.
His next posting was to the Lion class battlecruiser HMS Princess Royal on 23 October 1914. Harry served on this ship until 31 May 1919. This means that he would have fought in some of the major sea battles of the time – Battle of Dogger Bank and Battle of Jutland.
From 1 June 1919 to 24 June 1919 he served on the Edgar cruiser HMS Crescent. He was then back to Victory II until he was 'demobbed' on 26 July 1919.
When 'demobbed' Harry was transferred to the Royal Fleet Reserve.
His service record shows that he then served between 12 April 1921 to 7 June 1921 at Victory II.

Heart disease is one of the biggest health dangers in the country -- 830,000 people die each year due to some form of heart disease. The high-fat, high-salt American diet is largely to blame: It's easier to eat junk than reaching for a healthy alternative.
The deeper cause for heart disease is low-density lipoprotein (LDL) that delivers cholesterol around the body and high sodium, which raises both blood pressure and the chance of heart attacks and strokes.
It's no fun to cut out salty snacks and red meat, but tasty alternatives can help you stay proactive about heart health without eating boiled chicken and rice cakes.
If health isn't your hot button, simply eating better can also save cash. Turkey is certainly cheaper than steak, and a good diet can help negate the need for expensive high-cholesterol medication.
Check out five easy alternatives that can go a long way ...
No. 5: Soy nuts
Snacking can be tough when you're keeping heart health in mind, but getting that crunchy fix is still possible without saying goodbye to flavor.
Studies show that nuts lower the level of bad LDL cholesterol, and even lower the risk of developing blood clots. Nuts are also packed with fiber and heart-healthy vitamin E.
Soy nuts might not sound like something satisfying to munch on, but, prepared right, they can give you a crunchy snack fix without munching on high-sodium or high-fat snacks.
Instead of reaching for chips, toast some soy nuts with Italian herbs and some olive oil. And instead of salty nuts, try some toasted soy nuts with a dusting of sea salt. Taco seasoning can also give soy nuts a little bit of spice.
Mixing those soy nuts with almonds or walnuts can make for a very satisfying medley that doesn't carry the high fat or high sodium of chips and dip.
No. 4: Turkey
The old way of heart-healthy eating meant sad, flavorless boiled chicken and white rice -- yuck.
But no more. With countless cuts of turkey in your grocery store, you can get away from those tired chicken breasts without reaching for red meat.
Burgers are the best, but getting that grill fix and staying healthy can be tricky.
Ground turkey, however, can be a great alternative for heart health that will still give you something to eat at the weekend barbecue.
You can spice it up with good herbs and grill it with olive oil. Pop some cheese on top for the whole package -- just stick to part-skim or a little high-flavor, small-serving gourmet cheese.
Turkey can also replace beef in spaghetti sauces to get a little more flavor beyond the vegetarian sauce snoozer. Get it ground or chop it roughly for a chunky meat sauce.
No. 3: Fish
Going without red meat is the No. 1 thing you can do to stay on top of your heart health. But going without a good steak can get awfully boring, and turkey just doesn't cut it sometimes.
So if you're looking for a big hearty meal, try a good size piece of salmon and some roast veggies. You'll get that big meat feeling, and plenty of taste, but instead of gristly beef fat, you're getting healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
While replacing all your meat with salmon might get expensive, other fish are also packed with those healthy fats. Trout and herring are great places to find those good fatty acids.
But the best thing about fish is you can cook it almost any way and it's still healthy. Searing a good cut of salmon and finishing it in the oven retains moisture and makes for big flavor. Grilling it infuses your fish with the smoky taste of the grill. Smoked salmon can be dropped in just about anything from breakfast eggs to game-time snacks. Just don't deep fry it and keep the sides light.
No. 2: Spinach
Popeye certainly had some problems: freakishly large forearms, a constant squint and a severe addiction to tobacco. But with all that spinach, Popeye's heart was probably like a dream.
New studies confirm spinach's healthy compounds every few months, and though the mechanism isn't completely understood, doctors say everyone should be eating the leafy green vegetable. Raw spinach in a salad or cooked in just about anything has been shown to reduce heart disease by up to 40 percent.
Drop a pile of spinach on that turkey burger, or sauté it with some garlic for a great side for fish. Adding spinach into soup or on top of a light pizza can be an alternative for those who aren't a fan of leafy greens.
No matter how you get it, spinach is one of the most palatable and readily available sources of antioxidants and potassium.
No. 1: Oatmeal
It's possible the quote, "Oh boy, oatmeal!" has never been uttered, but anyone looking to eat with their heart in mind should try to say it.
Sure, oatmeal gets a bad wrap; you could be eating it on a speed boat and still be bored. But with a little spice, some crunch and taste of sweetness, that oatmeal will be at the top of your heart-healthy breakfast menu.
Like other heart-healthy foods, oatmeal lowers bad LDL cholesterol and is filled with cholesterol-absorbing fiber.
The best thing about oatmeal is that you can add just about anything, and it's still a good hot breakfast. Cinnamon and raisins are a popular way to kick up the taste. But almonds, walnuts and even soy nuts can really bring some texture.
It might sound simple, but a simple bowl of oatmeal with some honey and a piece of toast can be a great staple breakfast -- and one that won't clog arteries like bacon and eggs.

A risk factor is something that increases your likelihood of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to develop cirrhosis with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing cirrhosis. If you have risk factors for cirrhosis, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk. Even 1-2 risk factors is reason enough talk with your doctor.
Excessive Alcohol Consumption
Increased consumption of alcohol over a long period of time puts you at a higher risk for developing cirrhosis.
Alcohol is toxic to liver cells. It also damages the liver by changing how your body breaks down food. People who have problems controlling alcohol also tend to have poor diets, which may also contribute to cirrhosis.
Cirrhosis does not develop in everyone who drinks, but most cirrhosis develops because of problem drinking.
Medical Conditions
Some acute viral hepatitis infections become chronic, leading to liver inflammation and injury that. Over time, this can progress to cirrhosis. Common viral infections include:
- Infection with the hepatitis B virus—World Health Organization (WHO) statistics show that 2 billion individuals are initially infected with hepatitis B virus and 350 million remain infected chronically and become carriers of the virus. The rate of hepatitis B infection is highest among Asians and Pacific Islanders and second highest among non-Hispanic blacks.
- Acute infection with hepatitis C—Becomes chronic in about 80% of infected adults. About 10%-15% of people with chronic hepatitis C will develop cirrhosis, usually over many years. The rate of hepatitis C infection is highest among non-Hispanic blacks.
- Hepatitis D—Infects people who are already infected with hepatitis B.
With nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), fat cells build up in the liver and eventually lead to scarring. This type of hepatitis is associated with:
- Diabetes
- Obesity
- High triglyceride levels in the blood
- Coronary artery disease (CAD)
- Intestinal bypass surgery
- Long-term treatment with corticosteroids
Blockage of the bile ducts causes bile to back up and damage liver tissue. In adults, this can occur with a condition called primary biliary cirrhosis, in which the bile ducts become inflamed, blocked, and scarred.
Bile ducts may also be blocked due to a disease called primary sclerosing cholangitis. It can also occur as a result of gallstones, or as a complication of gallbladder surgery if the ducts are accidentally tied off or injured. It can result from inflammation of the pancreas, called pancreatitis. In infants, blocked bile ducts may result from biliary atresia, a condition in which the bile ducts are injured or totally absent from birth.
Conditions such as heart failure or constrictive pericarditis can cause congestion within the liver and eventually lead to scarring.
Numerous inherited disorders interfere with the way the liver produces, processes, and stores enzymes, proteins, metals, and other substances necessary for proper functioning of the body. They include:
- Hemochromatosis —an inherited disorder that causes the body to absorb and store too much iron, which builds up in various organs, including the liver, and causes damage
- Wilsons disease —an inherited disorder that results in excessive copper accumulation in the body, which also can produce liver damage
- Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency—an inherited deficiency of a protein produced in the liver that normally functions to block the destructive effects of certain enzymes; may lead to liver disease and emphysema
- Galactosemia—an inherited disorder characterized by the inability of the body to use the simple sugar galactose; leads to an accumulation of galactose 1-phosphate, which causes damage to the liver, central nervous system, and various other body systems
- Glycogen storage diseases—a group of inherited disorders caused by a lack of one or more enzymes that results in excessive storage of glycogen in the liver and eventual liver damage
- Cystic fibrosis—a genetic disorder the can result in liver damage
- Budd-Chiari syndrome—a condition caused by a blood clot which blocks the veins that carry blood from the liver into the inferior vena cava. The vena cava is the large vein which carries blood from the left side of our body back to the heart.
This is a condition in which immune cells mistake normal liver cells as invading cells and attack them.
Other Factors
The following factors can lead to liver damage include :
- Severe adverse reactions to prescription drugs, such as isoniazid and methotrexate
- Chronic exposure to environmental toxins, such as arsenic
- Repeated episodes of heart failure with liver congestion
- The parasitic infection schistosomiasis
