18 Sep Need the Highest Quality Oil Drilling Equipment? Then Buy American…
If you’re looking for the best oil drilling equipment — like high-quality roll off containers, drilling rig systems, or tanks and pumps — then you won’t regret buying American. In the past few decades, millions of U.S. manufacturing jobs have moved overseas, and those proud “Made in America” labels have become rarer and rarer with each passing year. And sometimes, it’s not always clear what buying American even means.
Despite the overseas manufacturing shift, the U.S. oil and gas industry supports nearly 10 million U.S. jobs and generates an incredible 8% of the national economy. Not only that, but fracking and shale gas production has created thousands of new jobs in recent years. In 2012 alone, upstream oil and gas companies generated 4.5 billion barrels of crude oil and lease condensate proved reserves. That was a 15.4% increase over 2011 and the largest single-year increase since the 1970s. And as of 2013, the U.S. Department of Energy reports that fracking companies have drilled two million oil and gas wells, about 95% of all new wells.
In addition to the men and women working those rigs in North Dakota, Texas, Kansas, and beyond, there are the American industrial equipment manufacturers who supply them. And we feel confident in saying no one knows how to drill quite like Americans.
Plus, when you buy drilling equipment, heavy duty trailers and rigs, and tanks and pumps from U.S. companies, you can count on experience that’s hard to find anywhere else. What are some of the benefits of buying American?
- The best customer support in the world to back up the equipment you purchase. That means in-house American engineers and know-how, as well as good old fashioned American customer support working for your team.
- Only the most high-quality equipment made with state-of-the-art manufacturing techniques.
- Decades of experience in the oil and gas industry.
- A company that shares your values.
As certain political elements oppose drilling and fracking with vague concerns, it’s more important than ever for U.S. oil and gas companies to support each other, creating jobs, wealth, and fuel that benefit everyone. Most importantly, there’s a reason America has been a world leader in the oil and gas industry, and will be for decades to come.

Is that blue sky? Here's where to go to make the most of the last dregs of summer
Air quality's good, the sun is out
Summer is burning to a close in Seattle, and after the August we've had it's not a moment too soon.
Of course, by the end our summer fun was clouded over by the thick smoke that clogged the air and made it unhealthy (sometimes very unhealthy) to breath outside.

Landmark Farmworker Suit Moves Forward After Farm Bureau Intervention
A judge has allowed the New York Farm Bureau to intervene in a lawsuit that could dramatically affect farm wages in the state.
The New York State Supreme Court ruled earlier this month that the New York Farm Bureau can intervene as a defendant in a lawsuit brought last May by the New York Civil Liberties Union on behalf of the Workers’ Center of Central New York, the Worker Justice Center of New York and farmworker Crispin Hernandez.
The lawsuit, the first of its kind in New York, challenges a law that denies farmworkers the right to organize without fear of retaliation. The NYCLU did not object to the Farm Bureau’s motion to intervene. Opponents argue that allowing unions on farms could lead to higher labor costs and strikes among New York's 60,000 agricultural workers.
Aadhithi Padmanabhan is a legal fellow at the New York Civil Liberties Union: "That exclusion is a racist holdover from the Jim Crow era and it has no place in New York today."
Farm Bureau spokesman Steve Ammerman: "New York Farm Bureau initiated the action in light of both Governor Cuomo's and Attorney General Schneiderman's refusals to legally defend New York state and the law as validly enacted by the New York state legislature. In fact, our president Dean Norton said the Farm Bureau had a century-long history of advocating for New York agriculture, and the court's decision will allow our grassroots organization to vigorously push back against labor-activists who seek to impose their will on family farms all across the state. The New York Farm Bureau believes the current New York state law exempting farmworkers from collective bargaining rights is constitutional and that the exclusion of farm workers from the state labor relations act law is based on decades of rational public policy, as well as legal precedent, which was outlined in New York Farm Bureau's motions to both intervene as well as to dismiss the suit. This issue has also repeatedly come before the legislature to both debate and decide, and the New York Civil Liberty Union lawsuit seeks to make it end run around that public policy process. In addition, the New York Farm Bureau will be filing a motion to dismiss the case and will proceed accordingly once the judge issues his ruling on that motion."
Padmanabhan isn't sure if there is a clear timetable for what follows. "When we filed the case, Governor Cuomo and Attorney General Schneiderman both came out essentially saying that they agreed with us. Governor Cuomo said that he would direct his administration not to defend the law in question in the court. So now that the Farm Bureau is participating, we assume that they will attempt to defend the constitutionality of that law, but of course our position is that that law is indefensible."
The A-G's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Cuomo Administration responded by emailing the following statement:
“It defies common sense that farmworkers would be intentionally excluded from the legal and protected right to organize without fear of retaliation, which is afforded to all other employees in this state. While we do not oppose the Farm Bureau’s intervention in this matter, we will not defend this seemingly unconstitutional act in court.”

A hallmark of Alzheimer's, Huntington's and similar diseases is the assembly of proteins into amyloids rather than folding into their native state. There is an increasing appreciation that amyloids, under specific conditions, may be non-pathogenic. Here we show that amyloids form as a normal part of Xenopus oocyte development. Amyloids are detectable in the cytosol and the nucleus using an amyloid binding dye and antibodies that recognize amyloid structure. In the cytosol, yolk platelets are amyloid reactive, as are a number of yet to be characterized particles. In the nucleus, we find particles associated with transcription by RNA polymerase I, II and III and RNA processing contain amyloids. Nuclear amyloids remain intact for hours following isolation; however, RNase treatment rapidly disrupts nuclear amyloids

AUSTIN –– Texas athletics is looking to the UT System Board of Regents for approval to begin working on a 64,000 square foot indoor facility with the Oak View Group, according to the UT Board of Regents agenda that was posted on Tuesday.
This all comes after UT announced its plans to unveil a $338 million basketball multipurpose arena in 2022, a project also being worked on by the Oak View Group. Upon completion, the new multipurpose arena will replace the Frank Erwin Center, which is set to be torn down in order to make way for UT’s Dell Medical School expansion.
As for Texas basketball’s practice facility, Cooley Pavilion, that will get replaced by this 64,000 square foot indoor facility, pending approval.
The agenda states that the facility will be located on UT’s main campus “within an area bounded by East Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, the IH-35 Frontage Road, Clyde Littlefield Drive and Robert Dedman Drive.”
The proposed indoor facility is set to replace Cooley Pavilion while the $338 million arena will play a similar role as the Frank Erwin Center, hosting both Longhorn basketball teams as well as concerts and other various events.

Find Chemical Equilibrium for Networks of Reactions
Chemical reaction systems that have equilibrium can typically be directly modeled as a polynomial system of equations. These problems are defined by conservation and reaction equations. The example below is from combustion chemistry and models the burning of fuel in a combustion chamber such as in a car engine. The goal is to find out what chemical components and compounds are in the combustion chamber at various stages. The system of reactions being studied is given by , , , , , , .
Introduce a variable for the quantity of each component. Here is treated as a component, since does not occur on its own.
Also introduce a variable for the quantity of each compound.
If you assume a closed chemical system, quantities are conserved, which leads to conservation equations shown in their chemical and algebraic notation.
Give the equations for equilibrium.
Give parameter values.
Solve the system over the reals, and select only non-negative solutions.
Compute a higher-precision solution.

Last week, House Republicans announced that they will seek criminal charges for former IRS employee, Lois Lerner. Now, Lerner is attempting to escape charges with an elaborate distraction.
Lerner's troubles started in 2013, when it as revealed that the IRS had targetted conservative groups seeking nonprofit status. Groups associated with right-leaning causes were discovered to be subject to increased scrutiny, particularly when compared to liberal groups such as the occupy movement.
Despite this, Obama's FBI and Justice department claimed that no criminal wrongdoing had occurred — and Lerner escaped charges.
But now a new administration is in town, and they're not accepting the Obama administration's findings. In response, Lerner is using the oldest trick in the liberal playbook; she's playing the victim.
See who's she claims is threatening to kill her on the next page:

Dr. Smithies describes flying again after a 14-year hiatus. Included his first flight in a glider plane.
Then, if I look again, the next date is 1977, a long time past, so that’s another 14 years. And that, there’s a history related to that, because my first marriage had been ended amicably at that time, and I no longer had to mow lawns, and thought I would begin to take some flying lessons again, so I went to the airport, and asked if Field Morey was still around, and sure enough he was, and began to fly again with him. And so we had the entrance in April 13th, 1977. I’m now 52 years old. But, there are only three flights on the 13th, 19th, and 21st with an airplane, and then I see an entrance on 4/23, April 23rd,the first flight in a glider, because I go to the airport nearby, where gliding is occurring, “Tobacco City,” and there I find an instructor who took me up in the Schweizer 22C. It didn’t take me too long to get back to be able to solo in the aircraft, so on the third of May, 1977, 15 minutes, first solo after a long time. And then, I’m allowed to go solo on the 28th of May. I remember thinking that, a little bit nervous on this one thinking, “Well, here I am by myself. Maybe I’ll survive.” (laughs) I had some trepidation, but this was supervised solo on the 28th of May, in the glider.

A staggering 70 per cent of potential first-time buyers looking to buy in the next year or two have decided to delay their purchases as rising living costs hit their ability to save, according to a survey.
Nearly nine in 10 said their ability to save for a deposit has been affected by the rising cost of living, Nationwide Building Society found.
People were most likely to say this in Wales and Northern Ireland (98 per cent in both parts of the UK) and in Scotland (93 per cent).
The area where people were least likely to say this was London, but the figure there was still 82 per cent.
Of the main problems noted by people about buying a home in the area where they live, nearly three in five (57 per cent) said it was high house prices, while 43% said rents were too high to be able to save.
Nearly a quarter (24 per cent) said their area had a competitive housing market, while the same amount (24 per cent) cited a lack of homes on the market.
Around seven in 10 (69 per cent) said they would be willing to relocate to another part of the UK to get more for their money.
Nearly half (47 per cent) are reducing their everyday spending and 43% are cutting back on going out or eating out.
Paul Archer, senior mortgage manager at Nationwide Building Society, said: “Building a deposit remains the single biggest barrier to homeownership today, with many people starting out facing a long uphill battle to save. The rising cost of living has made this even harder.”
More than 2,000 prospective first-time buyers were surveyed.

More than US$7 billion paid in second round of USDA food assistance programme
US Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue announced on November 2 that, in the first month of the application period, the USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) approved more than US$7 billion in payments to producers in the second round of the Coronavirus Food Assistance Program (CFAP 2).
CFAP 2 provides agricultural producers with financial assistance to help absorb some of the increased marketing costs associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
"America's agriculture communities are resilient, but still face many challenges due to the COVID-19 pandemic. These payments directed by President Trump will continue to help this critical industry recoup some of their losses from ongoing market disruptions and associated costs," Perdue said. "This programme builds upon the over US$10 billion disbursed under the first round of CFAP. Agricultural producers who have been impacted by the pandemic since April 2020 are encouraged to apply for assistance."
Since CFAP 2 enrollment started on September 21, FSA has approved more than 443,000 applications. The top five US states for payments are Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota, Illinois and Kansas.
Through CFAP 2, USDA is making available up to US$14 billion for agricultural producers who continue to face market disruptions and associated costs due to COVID-19.
CFAP 2 is a separate programme from the first iteration of CFAP (CFAP 1). It supports eligible producers of row crops, livestock, specialty crops, dairy, aquaculture and many other commodities, including many that were ineligible for CFAP 1.

This is the first part in a series that will chronicle how I make a RakeMaker II.
Handle making begins with stock selection – dry, straight grained apple, cherry, and walnut. Since only small pieces are needed, I am able to use bits and pieces, drops from other projects. The handle in the following pictures is made of apple.
I begin with square stock that is about six inches long, which will yield three handles if I don’t make any mistakes. I use three measurements to define the shape: the largest diameter, the overall length, and the diameter at the base of the handle.
I use the three tools shown below to turn the handles. I am not really a woodturner, so take what you see below with a grain of salt. I have learned a couple of things along the way, though.
- Sharp, light cuts work best for me, especially in dry wood that is unsupported at one end.
- Profiles are easiest to reproduce when the shape mirrors that of the tools used for turning.
After the lathe work is done, the finger grips need to be shaped. Any half round file or rasp will work, but I use milled tooth or Vixen files. they cut fast and leave a clean surface. I have also used a Liogier rasp for this task, and with great success.
Turning the handle, as hard as it may be to believe, is the single most time-consuming part of this saw filing guide. But it is very comfortable in the hand, and I think it looks pretty good on the tool.

Frozen Embryo transfer is the practice of taking a previously frozen embryo, thawed and implanted into a prepared uterus to grow through the normal gestation period until birth.
Infertility can be devastating to couples who are trying to have their own baby. If you are a couple having issues trying to conceive, you know that IVF treatments can be an expensive proposition depending on the route you take.
Usually, a couple trying to conceive through IVF may need at least 2 separate cycles before they can deliver a baby boy or girl. If multiple eggs are harvested, they can be preserved and implanted if the first attempt does not produce the desired results.
During the procedure of extracting the eggs, they are fertilized and grown in a controlled environment for 5 to 6 days. Once the fertilized eggs mature to a certain stage, some are selected to be preserved for future use if they are needed.
Because cryopreservation can be conducted at various stages, there can be different embryos preserved and used depending on viability. If the embryo is frozen immediately after fertilization, the chances for the embryo to survive when thawed seems to be higher but its viability may be questionable until it has been grown in the lab. And although It is impossible to predict any results until the embryo is grown and implanted within the womb, the techniques used may not result in a new baby after the first or second time.
In summary, success with frozen embryo transfer has come a long way in providing viable embryos for IVF, but the ultimate test is the success rate of having a healthy baby in earlier attempts. Couples have to have the financial means to pay for the IVF process, so the earlier the success the more people will be able to afford the procedure.

I love teaching and photography... In that order. I feel that enjoying photography, and photo editing can get WAY too complicated. So my personal mission (and favorite thing to do), is to create education that simplifies the process of taking great photos, and how to edit them to get the results you’ve always wanted.
This makes it easy. Thanks for this valuable bit of information. I hope I can save this video so I can rewatch
Digital: no more reciprocity failure calculations!
Excellent! With over 53 years as a commercial photographer, there is always more to learn.
With years of shooting 4×5 and using exposures over 2 minutes, my first thought is “What more

Always valuable information.

I am so sorry that I’ve taken longer away from blogging than I promised. I do have a good excuse, mind. The past few weeks have been iffy and the weekend was dire to say the least.
One of my neighbours is clearly suffering from serious mental health issues and has started to harass my parents and I. I’ve personally been subjected to heaps of abuse and been called all the names under the sun; for things like leaving my bedroom window open at night.
I don’t want to delve into too much detail, but this has had a seriously detrimental effect on my life at the moment. I had a panic attack at the thought of leaving the house on Monday, all because of one man constantly launching tirades at me. I’m having to park my car on a different road just so he can’t damage it, and thinks I’m away from home.
He was hammering on our front door, drunkenly, at 3am.
I’m terrified of leaving the house because of the harassment that may follow, but I don’t feel safe in the house either because of what happened last weekend.
He was hammering on our front door, drunkenly, at 3am. And then again at 3:20am. He was shouting abuse, making threats and even banging our letterbox demanding that we open the door to him. I had to call the police twice. They moved him on, thinking he’d leave us alone. But on Sunday, I went to Starbucks, and saw him watching us leave. When we came home and pulled up outside our house, he stormed out of his house, followed us, and started shouting at us. We had to ring the police again. He’s making up slanderous lies about me and my parents too.
The police are on our side, but the law is on his side. I’ve got to continue to take the level of abuse I have been doing recently, because there’s nothing the police can do right now. He can get away with shouting abuse and making threats at my bedroom window at 5-6am most mornings, and I’ve just got to grin and bear it. The police are trying to detain him for a mental health assessment, but that’s easier said than done.
I hope he gets the help he needs and soon, because it’s getting too much for me to bear. Is a quiet life so much to ask for?
Sorry for the really personal and serious post, but I wanted you lovely readers to know why I’ve not been around recently. Normal service will be resumed shortly.

Hopefully, you'll never be on a plane that's caught in an unexpected stretch of severe turbulence, such as a recent ill-fated Aeroflot flight from Moscow to Bangkok, in which at least 27 passengers reportedly suffered injuries that included broken bones.
Most turbulence incidents aren't anywhere near that severe or dangerous. The Federal Aviation Administration recently reported 44 injuries due to turbulence in 2016. That's not a lot, when you consider that 932 million passengers flew on domestic airline flights that year. According to a USA Today analysis of the data, aside from a passenger who suffered a fractured vertebra on one flight, most serious injuries were sustained by flight attendants who were thrown around while they were standing.
One reason why there are relatively few turbulence injuries, undoubtedly, is that airline pilots are pretty good at figuring out in advance that turbulence is coming up, and then warning passengers ahead of time. If you've ever been on an airline flight, you've most likely heard the public-address system give off that little ding, followed by a flight attendant informing you that the captain is asking passengers to get back in their seats and put on their safety belts.
So how do pilots predict that the air is about to get bumpy? They have multiple sources of information that they can rely on in predicting turbulence, and in many cases, they're able to minimize its effects or even avoid a turbulent area of the sky completely, according to Ron Carr. He's a veteran U.S. Air Force pilot who went on to fly for American Airlines for 16 years, and now is an associate professor in the department of aeronautical science at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University.
Carr explains that there actually are three types of bumpy air that airliners encounter. The first is convective turbulence, the sort that occurs when a thunderstorm generates powerful up and down drafts of air. There's also mountain wave turbulence, which is caused when air flows over the tops of mountains and creates waves, the way that waves in the ocean will break due to an underwater reef. Finally, there's something called clear air turbulence, which is created when a mass of warm air collides with a cold-air mass. (Here's a 2009 Popular Science article that describes them all in more detail.)
Carr says that measures to avoid a rough ride actually start on the ground before takeoff, where dispatchers and meteorologists work together to come up with the smoothest, safest route for a flight based on what they know is going on in the atmosphere at the time, and what's predicted to happen.
Once a plane is in the air, the flight crew has a weather radar display in the cockpit to provide the latest info on conditions ahead. "Thunderstorms are going to generate turbulence—no doubt about that," Carr says. "They can pretty well predict those."
The image on the screen is displayed in three colors that show the amount of precipitation, a good indicator of convective turbulence. Green indicates light to moderate turbulence, yellow shows an area where it's likely to be rougher, and red signifies areas that should be avoided.
Normally, pilots will deal with thunderstorms by simply altering their route to avoid them, but sometimes, when multiple storms are lined up in a row and a course deviation would require too much fuel, a pilot may pick the weakest storm area to fly through. In those instances, the passengers are going to be advised to return to their seats and buckle up.
It's possible to anticipate mountain wave turbulence as well. There are charts and maps that predict it, and when flying near a mountain range such as the Rockies, a pilot also can look out the window and study the cloud formations — the presence of lens-shaped lenticular clouds at the plane's altitude, for example, is a tipoff that a bouncy ride could be ahead.
Clear air turbulence — the sort that apparently banged the Aeroflot plane around — is more difficult to predict. Weather charts can show where air masses of different temperatures might collide, but as Carr says, "it's not an exact science." That's why flight crews also rely on warnings from other pilots who've recently flown in an area. In some cases, they actually may hear warning over the radio from a plane that's ahead of them. More often, they rely upon pilot reports — PIREPS, in aviation lingo — that are made to air traffic control, which then relays the information to whomever is flying into an area with turbulence. (The website Turbulenceforecast.com offers this chart showing recent PIREPS about turbulence.)
According to Carr, pilots may get turbulence warnings anywhere from five to 10 minutes in advance if they're listening to a plane ahead of them, and up to 20 minutes in advance if the notifications are coming from air traffic controllers. That often gives pilots a chance to request permission to make a maneuver to avoid the worst of the turbulence, such as deviating from course to the left or right, or ascending or descending in altitude. Afterward, they can request permission to return to their original track.
But even with those maneuvers, a plane may still encounter some bumpiness. And that's why passengers hear that instruction to buckle up. "If we're expecting any turbulence at all, or even the slightest chance, we're going to get the flight attendants seated and the passengers belted," Carr says.
And it's important to follow those instructions. Turbulence isn't necessarily a danger to the aircraft, since modern planes are designed for resilience, and pilots can slow down to reduce the effect of the forces to which they're subjected. But it can be a danger to passengers who aren't strapped in, Carr says.
"Most injuries in turbulent conditions are because people are caught without seatbelts," he says. "Just leave it on. It would save a lot of injuries if people did that. If you're not strapped in, you're going to take some real quick flying lessons. And then when gravity takes over, that's going to hurt."

6 what? Degrees? 15 degrees? 200 what? Meters? Maybe they didn't give you any units. That's ok.
What have you thought of doing so far?
6 and 15 are degrees and the 200 has no units.
I've found all angles on the triange and don't know where to go from there
I would slap a label on the segment of the horizontal just to the right of the 200. What do you want to call that?
Further question: are we right in assuming the lower-right angle is a right angle?
Yes. The lower right is a right angle. I named the segment to the right of 200 'y' and the hypotenuse 'z'
Great. Now, just thinking out loud here. You could use the Pythagorean theorem, since you have a right triangle. The only problem with that is that it introduces yet another variable for which you'd need another equation. What's a relevant, correct equation you could write down that involves x?
I tried sin cos and tan for the bottom left hand corner angle (6 degrees) and the angle at the top (84 degrees) and tried to equate some of the equations that involved x but hasn't worked out so far.
Ok, well, show me what you have so far. We'll go from there.
Of those equations, I would agree with all but the first one.
You're going to need some equations having to do with the inner triangle, or I'm mistaken. What can you get from the inner triangle?
Oh, and a LaTeX hint or two: use \cos instead of cos. Also, I find it a good idea always to put parentheses around the argument. Thus, , not . The reason is that sometimes, the arguments get to be pretty hairy, and you can get some ambiguous expressions. It's better to be safe!

Do fluids make you gain weight?
The easy answer is yes – drinking water does affect weight significantly enough to be seen on a scale immediately.
Usually, in a 24 hour period, you will cycle through this process of gaining water weight and losing water weight and have either a net loss or stable weight for the day..
Do you put ice or heat on infiltrated IV?
For certain nonvesicant drugs, you’ll apply heat to increase blood flow and the amount of interstitial tissue in contact with the fluid. For hypertonic or hyperosmolar fluids, apply cold to restrict contact with additional tissue, thus limiting the tissue affected by osmotic fluid shift.
Can IV fluids make you swell?
IV fluids. Receiving too much IV fluid, especially if there are other health conditions present, can lead to fluid overload and swelling.
What are the side effects of IV fluids?
Side effects associated with use of intravenous sodium chloride include:hypernatremia (high levels of sodium),fluid retention,high blood pressure,heart failure,intraventricular hemorrhage in neonates,injection site reactions,kidney damage,electrolyte abnormalities, and.More items…
When should you get IV fluids?
If your dehydration is serious, you may need to see a doctor to get treated with intravenous (IV) fluids. Severe dehydration may require you to go to the hospital. You should get medical attention immediately if you: Haven’t peed in 8 hours.
How long do IV fluids last in your body?
On average, IV drips can last anywhere from 15 to 90 minutes. Boost shots can be completed in minutes.
Is IV better than drinking water?
So it can take several hours after drinking water before your body starts to benefit. Of course, with IV fluids you begin to be hydrated immediately. The fluids go directly into your blood stream, increasing your body’s fluid volume right away. In short, this means you feel better, faster.
How often can you get IV fluids?
However, most people will benefit from treatments spaced about two weeks apart once their nutrient levels become stabilized. This is because you should expect your nutrient levels to remain elevated for between two to three weeks after each treatment.
Can you lose weight on IV fluids?
IV Weight Loss Drips CAN: Boost the speed of your metabolism and more effectively convert food into energy. Help you burn fat more efficiently. Support your circulatory system. Help build and support muscle growth.
Does saline make you fat?
Eating a lot of salt can cause your body to retain more water, which can show up on the scale as extra pounds. But we’re not just talking about water weight here. High salt diets appear to be linked to higher body fat—in particular, the kind of fat that accumulates around your middle.
How do you reduce swelling from IV fluids?
How is it treated?Elevate the site as much as possible to help reduce swelling.Apply a warm or cold compress (depending on the fluid) for 30 minutes every 2-3 hours to help reduce swelling and discomfort.Medication-If recommended, medicine for extravasations is given within 24 hours for best effect.
How long does swelling last after IV?
Check the area for bruising or swelling for a few days after you get home. If you have bruising or swelling, put ice or a cold pack on the area for 10 to 20 minutes at a time. Put a thin cloth between the ice and your skin.
Can an IV make you gain weight?
It is concluded that weight gain can occur without protein gain in patients who are being fed intravenously and that body weight is not a reliable guide to changes in body protein or fat in critically ill patients receiving intravenous nutrition.

Calculating the PV for each cash flow in each period you can produce the following table and sum up the individual cash flows to get your icelandsky.com final answer. The main characteristic of such matches is that they should have bigger than expected odds which will mean a profit for you whatever the outcome. Most bookmakers will try to avoid providing such opportunities on their betting websites. Fortunately though, there are thousands of bookmakers in the world. Half of the time, however, the odds for the final odds go down instead of rising. There is however, a way to salvage such a bet by increasing the stake for the last bet.
How To Read Football Odds
Although the vastly different types of investments listed above can be calculated using our Investment Calculator, the real difficulty is trying to arrive at the correct value for each variable. A simple example of a type of investment that can be used with the calculator is a certificate of informative post deposit, or CD, which is available at most banks. In the U.S., most banks are insured by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation , a U.S. government agency. This means the CD is guaranteed by FDIC up to a certain amount. It pays a fixed interest rate for a specified amount of time, giving an easy-to-determine rate of return and investment length.

Many successful tennis bettors focus on one area, whether it’s men’s tennis or women’s tennis, the Challenger circuit or only Grand Slam events. However, some expert tipsters sensed an upset was on the cards. Sure Nadal was on a roll and playing great tennis, but so was Wawrinka. Sure Stan had never beaten Rafa, but he hadn’t beaten Djokovic in seven years and 14 matches before this event.
To calculate moneyline odds from fractional odds less than 1/1, divide -100 by the fraction. There are two methods to convert fractional odds to moneyline odds, one method being for fractions less than 1/1, and one method being for fractions greater than 1/1. Odds that read 1/1 are equivalent to +100 moneyline odds. To calculate moneyline odds from decimal odds greater than 2.0, multiply the difference between the decimal odds and 1 by 100. To calculate moneyline odds from decimal odds less than 2.0, divide -100 by the difference between the decimal odd and 1.
Expected Value In Poker
It also has applications to other sports, but in this article we will just look at football. The principle of equity in poker also explains why you should raise with the best hand preflop. There are a number of reasons for raising preflop, such as; reducing the number of players in the pot, buying position, being the aggressor and so on.
I would normally assign a much wider range, but to make life simpler let’s just use that range for the time being. We can plug that into an equity calculator like Equilab and we see that our AQ has 47% equity. So in this hand we expect when we call AQ will win 47% of the time and of course would lose the other 53%.
Convert Fractional Odds & Decimal Odds
After looking at the tables, he knows that the maximum losing sequence expected is likely to be as long as six to eight lost bets in a row. Therefore, he knows that there may be at least one sequence of three or four consecutive rounds when all bets lose. A bettor prefers bets within the odds range of 2.0 to 2.5 with a hit rate between 40% and 50%.

Shell is putting up four Nigerian onshore oil blocks for auction as the oil major focuses on transferring some assets in Nigeria to local companies, Platts reported on Thursday, quoting sources close to the process.
Bids for the four blocks closed on Wednesday and Shell could announce the potential buyers next week.
Nigerian onshore blocks are largely prone to militant attacks, and Shell had sold its 30 percent interest in three oil mining leases in the western Niger Delta, to Seplat Petroleum last year, a Platts release said.
Platts said Shell declined to comment while officials of the bidding companies involved said they were unable to comment because of the confidentiality clause in the negotiations.
According to Platts, local industry analysts have linked the Shell divestment to uncertainty surrounding Nigeria's new petroleum law.

A BYU club has organized a service activity to reach out and give words of encouragement to fellow nurses who are now in the mission field.
Many young members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have put their education on hold in order to serve the Lord and share the gospel. The college of Nursing is no exception. Thirty-five students have now joined the tens of thousands of missionaries around the world.
Serving those who serve is one of the many things that the BYU Student Nurses’ Association has practiced as part of the College of Nursing. BYU SNA (Student Nurses’ Association) is a club open for nursing students, and its purpose is helping students to make the best of their education and help them through their program.
Writing letters to missionaries who were in the nursing program is this month’s BYU SNA’s (Student Nurses’ Association) service activity. This activity is open to everyone. The only requirement is dropping off the letter at the polka-dotted box in the Nursing Learning Center at the Kimball Tower, room 130.
The head of this activity is Sammy Webber, the services director of the club. She had seen this activity done before, but after realizing so many people within her program were going on missions, she thought that this would be a perfect time to repeat the activity. Being a returned missionary from the Cusco, Peru, she knows how much letters mean to missionaries.
“It’s never a bad idea to write the missionaries,” Webber said.
Aubin Palmer, a nursing student, wrote all 35 missionaries. Although she did not know all of them, she and her husband wrote them in hopes the missionaries would feel their support. Palmer is also a returned missionary from Columbus, Ohio.
“I served a mission, I know what it’s like to be in their shoes. My husband wrote me while I was on mine,” Palmer said. “He is great at writing supportive letters to missionaries. It was fun to write them together.”
BYU SNA president Marilee Strong oversaw the project. Strong wrote a letter of encouragement to one of her classmates and friends who just went on a mission.
“I think it’s a wonderful idea. It’s a great way to connect with some of our old friends and get in touch with them,” Strong said.

“Life Skills That Matter: What Every High School Student Should Learn Before Graduation” [Video Replay & Podcast #229]
In this hour-long webinar-on-demand, learn the life skills your teen needs before high school graduation with Theresa E. Maitland, Ph.D.
Research shows that students who learn to advocate for themselves in high school are more likely to succeed in college. Unfortunately, families spend far more time and money researching and touring colleges than they do developing the advocacy skills that will help their teens thrive there.
High school is the time to learn the self advocacy skills that are key to success in college and in life. In this webinar Theresa Maitland will focus on what you can do during high school to help your child understand his or her needs,, what to ask for, how to ask effectively and how to handle situations when he or she doesn’t get what they want.
Sending a teen with learning differences to college without the skills to recognize her needs — and to assertively ask that they be met — is a recipe for problems. In life after high school it will be up to the student, not her parents, to take charge of setting up and managing classroom accommodations.
In this webinar, you will learn:
- What it means to advocate for yourself as a student, including a breakdown of component skills
- Why these skills should be part of every student’s high school years
- Real-life examples of how teens with and without these skills navigated life after high school
- Strategies for developing these skills while a teen is in high school
- Strategies for coaching your teen and helping him refine his advocacy skills

This ADHD Experts webinar was first broadcast live on September 5, 2018.
- “I always enjoy Theresa Maitland, Ph.D., and her work. Thank you, this was very helpful for a parent who has a child in college who has ADHD/learning disability.”
- “Very timely and very helpful. Has given me ideas on preparation for this year’s annual IEP meeting from a self advocacy standpoint for our 8th grader. Self advocacy has been an IEP goal the past year, so I want to see how we can move the needle this year!”
- “I appreciate the resources and expertise you bring to our attention. It is great to feel ‘normal’ at some level. Thanks for all that you do.”
- “I found this webinar very helpful. I think I need all the information here and will review it. I’m also downloading the resources. THANK YOU.”

Last month I painted a dresser with bohemian vibe by giving it a very artistic paint job. What was once a regular, traditional style dresser is now a work of art with loads of storage. The dresser came with a huge mirror that I debated whether or not to paint it to match. I'm so glad I went for it because the mirror really made the piece. See for yourself!
Bohemian Painted Dresser
I love painting like this because I can have complete, creative freedom. The base color is a deep teal chalk paint and a blended in lighter turquoise, I then layered on the accent green colors. Distressed it and gave it multiple coats of poly, sanding between coats as always for a super soft smoothness.
- Custom color chalk paint
- General finishes patina green milk paint
- Satin Poly

I'm annoyed when people call Vera Sidika's body fake - Otile Brown
Otile said, “What really annoys is how people call her body fake and China. I love that China and I love Vera. She’s an extremely smart woman and I keep telling people that.”
The Rn B singer has rubbished claims that his affair with the socialite is a publicity stunt.
While speaking during the launch of High Club, Otile responded to critics by confirming that his affair with Vera is actually genuine. He added that he would not mind settling down with her.
Otile Brown and Vera Sidika have been openly displaying their love and affection recently. They have even shared their special moments with online users.
The two bigwigs have kept their fans guessing on what is transpiring between them. A section of their followers drew to the conclusion that the two are pulling a publicity stunt just like other artists are known to do when desperate for YouTube views.
They have been spotted spending their time together and Otile even once referred to the video vixen as ‘Mrs. Brown’. They took their relationship to a new level after testing their HIV status which they shared online with fans.
Otile earlier mentioned in an interview with Mseto’s Willy M Tuva that he is ready to marry Vera. His bold statement was, “Vee is my woman, she is my love and we are in a relationship. She is very smart and I have met many women but her brain is just out of this world. She is also very caring and the wedding is going to be anytime, forget about the things you hear on social media.”

On saturday I did a few first steps in short wave technology. One of the basics is to be able to receive a wather fax. This is hardly anything new. People have been doing that since the eighties. The thing is: I don’t have a shortware tranceiver and I don’t have a Windows(TM) PC.
So I coupled my trusty handheld SW radio with my MacBook using a 3.5mm ‘headphone’ cable. The software I was using/testing was: CocoaModem 2.0, Fldigi 3.2 and MultiMode Cocoa. After fiddling around with the receiver (using mode: USB) I finally received a faint signal. But that was enough to pull that first weather fax from Northwood, UK !
It’s actually quite amazing that one can receive quite precious data using only standard components and free software – without internet, telephone, WiFi… Well. It was only a test for getting used with the software. The final setup will hopefully consist of a proper tranceiver and a dedicated small Netbook or Laptop with all software installed and configured. Unfortunately the ONLY piece of software that doesn’t exist on Linux or Mac is the SailMail program for sending/receiving emails via SSB. But maybe I can find a solution for that, too.


Hi, I have some problems using shaped paragraphs. I tried to follow the procedures described in METAFUN in the chapter about "talking to TeX". The output I get from running context (latest minimals) is wrong (or at least unexpected ;-). The shape of the text paragraphs doesn't match the backgrounds. They are interchanged. If I comment out any single shape production it works.
My Example (hope, it's near to minimal) is attached

In February 2019, after hurtling 300 million kilometers from Earth, the Japanese space probe Hayabusa 2 landed on the asteroid Ryugu. We follow the team behind the mission, as they sample parts of the asteroid and return it to our planet.
When Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon in 1969, America went down in popular history as the winner of the space race. But that history is bunk. The real pioneers of space exploration were the Soviet cosmonauts. This documentary combines rare and unseen archive footage with interviews with the surviving cosmonauts to tell the fascinating and at times terrifying story of how the Russians led us into the space age. A particular highlight is Alexei Leonov, the man who performed the first spacewalk, explaining how he found himself trapped outside his spacecraft 500 miles above the Earth.

Union MSME Minister Nitin Gadkari proclaimed himself as the “Brand Ambassador” of the first eco-friendly cow dung paint of India, Khadi Prakritik paint. In a press conference, while making an announcement regarding India’s first cow dung paint, he said he would be the official brand ambassador of Indian khadi Prakritik paint. Furthermore, he added that he would be encouraging the young entrepreneurs to proceed ahead for the business of cow dung paint manufacturing. The plan is to promote this new initiative across the nation.
Another noteworthy feature about Khadi-based paint is that it is India’s first and only paint manufactured by using dung. Sounds interesting, isn’t it? Well, we believe that it’s a revolutionary move in the direction of making India self-reliant. Many budding entrepreneurs are excited to gain more insights into the manufacturing units that will be producing khadi cow dung paint.
While virtually inaugurating the new automated manufacturing unit of India’s first environment-friendly paint in Jaipur, Union MSME Minister Nitin Gadkari Ji emphasized the empowerment of the rural & agro-based economy of the nation with the rising number of manufacturing units. According to Union MSME Minister Nitin Gadkari Ji, Khadi Prakritik Paint has tremendous potential of formulating sustainable development for the welfare of the disadvantaged ones who are battling against poverty every day, and the target must revolve around establishing a paint manufacturing unit in each and every village. In addition to this, he mentioned that inaugurating this manufacturing unit is more satisfying and pleasing in comparison with inaugurating infrastructure projects of about lakhs of crores of rupees.
After virtually inaugurating the model manufacturing plant, Union MSME Minister Nitin Gadkari is striving to establish 50 manufacturing plants for producing khadi Prakritik plant, a non-toxic, environment-friendly paint from pure dung produced by cows. At the Jaipur training centre, about 30 students have already undergone training, and a training program for another batch is actively running. The target is to establish 50 plants in Vidarbha in the initial three months, and till now, orders have been placed for 12 units.
Youth will be receiving loans under the PM’s Employment Generation Programme, wherein they will obtain a subsidy of about 35% in rural areas & 25% in urban areas.
The key advantages of using cow dung paint are mentioned below-
The objectives of setting up this unique cow dung paint manufacturing unit are exhibited below-
Investment of Rs. 12 to Rs. 15 lakh will be needed to establish the cow dung paint manufacturing plant.
The funding for initiating this business will be covered under the government scheme concerning the MSME sector. About 11 people will be receiving employment in a plant. Khadi and Village Industries Commission is charging a royalty fee of Rs. 1 lakh for one-time in order to offer the technology and providing the facility to sell via PAN-India network of about 8600 retail khadi outlets.
Union MSME Minister Nitin Gadkari launched Khadi Prakritik Paint on January 12, 2021, to create rural employment opportunities and increase the income of Indian farmers. Recently, he inaugurated the automated manufacturing unit of the innovative Paint made from dung obtained from cows. Now, he is endeavouring to commence 50 manufacturing plants for producing high-quality and organic cow dung paint. It’s a marvellous initiative as it will be beneficial in eradicating the problem of unemployment up to a great extent. At Aatmnirbhar Sena, we are making budding entrepreneurs aware of the cow dung paint and its manufacturing unit so that some of them start this form of business and make their mark in the realm of entrepreneurship.

Macet literally means jammed.
That is what Indonesians cry out, often in exasperation, when they are on the road in Jakarta, where motorcycles, cars and other vehicles are regularly stuck in the city's notorious bumper-to-bumper traffic.
The sky over the city also becomes murky and overcast on week days, mostly due to emissions from the millions of vehicles caught in gridlock for hours on end. This means pedestrians, commuters and bikers will never hit the roads without a face mask during peak hour.
But that all changes every Sunday when the capital's main thoroughfares, Jalan Sudirman and Jalan Thamrin, are closed to traffic from 6am to 11am for Car-Free Day.
That is when more than 100,000 people, from joggers and cyclists to children on skate scooters, buskers, and even street hawkers throng and take over the 5km stretch of road.
They can breathe easy as the sky, sans pollution, reverts to its natural blue hue, say regulars to the weekly event such as events organiser Eka, who like some Indonesians go by just one name. "Jakarta needs an open space for sporting activities, just like in New York where there's Central Park," he said. "Jakarta doesn't have one… the Central Park here is actually a mall."
In September, Jakarta will celebrate 10 years of going car-free on Sundays by expanding the initiative to other districts. Jakarta Transportation Agency chief Andri Yansyah told The Straits Times there are now plans to close roads in other parts of the capital regularly, so that more people can enjoy being out and about instead of just going to shopping malls.
For a start, the upcoming road closures for other Car-Free Day events outside of Central Jakarta will be held at various locations on different Sundays. These may include Kota Tua in the west, Jalan Pemuda in the east, Kelapa Gading in the north, and Lenteng Agung in the south.
"We expect to increase the implementation of CFD in the outskirts starting from every two weeks, and if it goes well like Sudirman-Thamrin, we will increase it to once a week," said Mr Andri, using the popular acronym for Car-Free Day.
There are 18.2 million vehicles registered in Jakarta, a city of 10 million people. And more than a million people travel daily to the capital from outside the city for work and business, many in their own cars or motorcycles.
In contrast, there are about 960,000 vehicles registered in Singapore, a country with a population of 5.7 million.
Singapore has its own car-free days, when roads in the Civic District and the Central Business District are closed to traffic, usually on the last Sunday of a certain month. The last time it was held was yesterday, and the next one is on Oct 29.
Jakarta has been trying to solve the problem of traffic congestion and vehicle overpopulation for years, to no avail. It is not just roads that are overcrowded but also sidewalks, where pedestrians find it hard to walk due to food carts hogging the space. Other "pavement pests" are motorcycles parked on these footpaths, or bikers who ride on sidewalks to beat the traffic.
Jakarta governor Djarot Saiful Hidayat has instructed his transportation agency to work with the police to act against vendors and motorcyclists who encroach on sidewalks. "The violators will be caught and fined directly at the location, their vehicles should also be seized," he had said.
Last Monday, Tempo reported Jakarta police nabbing more than 5,600 motorcyclists from July 17 to 21 riding on sidewalks.
The enforcement blitz to free up pavements for pedestrians came just days after the release of a Stanford University study that found Indonesia to be one of the world's laziest countries when it comes to walking. It was placed 46th, after Singapore at 9th and Hong Kong, which came in tops.
That is why Car-Free Day is such a welcome initiative for Jakarta residents like housewife Jessica Setiawan. "I just come to walk in the open, which is rare if you live in Jakarta, and usually, you can't even walk on the pavements because of the food carts and bikes that occupy them," she told The Straits Times last Sunday. "But on CFD, pedestrians own the roads!"

Real-time systolic-array-based implementations of VLSI two-dimensional (2D) infinite-impulse-response (IIR) frequency-planar beam plane-wave filters have potentially wide applications in the filtering of spatio-temporal RF broadband plane waves based on their directions of arrival (DOAs). Distributed-parallel-processor (DPP) implementations of the systolic arrays allow synchronous sampling of the 2D input signal array, but because of the direct-form structure they have high circuit complexity. To address the high-complexity problem, the differential-form 2D z-domain transfer function is employed here to obtain a novel DPP systolic-array-based filter architecture. Differential operators are obtained by applying elemental predistortion to the passive LR prototype filter network using series-connected negative-resistance elements. The proposed systolic 2D IIR architecture is implemented on a single Xilinx Virtex-4 Xc4v Sx35-10ff668 FPGA chip. Two examples of broadband plane-wave filtering supporting N = 32 and N = 64 sensors are reported. On-chip test results are achieved using stable real-time tests at frame sample frequencies of up to 90MHz as well as stepped hardware cosimulation in conjunction with a parallel-operating MATLAB/Simulink simulation.

New Delhi: BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur said he is hopeful of the Himachal Pradesh government giving the go ahead for the World Twenty20 match between India and Pakistan in Dharamsala following a meeting with state Chief Minister Virbhadra Singh.
Thakur said he expects the March 19 match to go ahead as scheduled despite the Himachal government stating that it does not want to host the game.
"I am very hopeful (of the match taking place). The meeting (with CM yesterday) was held in a very positive atmosphere. The state government will also try and speak to those (families and few others) who have raised concerns. I am very hopeful of a positive outcome. The state government have to announce that the match is on. From the BCCI's side, the match is on," Thakur said here.
Himachal Pradesh Virbhadra Singh had earlier expressed inability to provide security for the marquee clash in the wake of objections raised by the Kangra-based families of martyrs and ex-servicemen, who consider hosting Pakistan as an "insult" to the soldiers who lost their lives in Pathankot airbase terror attack in January.
The BJP MP further said a decision was taken that any bilateral match between India and Pakistan will not be held in Dharamsala but the World T20 game must take place as the state and country's image is at stake.
"It was decided (in the meeting) that in case of a bilateral series between India and Pakistan, no matches should be held in Dharamsala. But the venues for the World T20 were decided a year ago and to organise the match elsewhere now is almost impossible. So we (BCCI) and the state government are making our best efforts to sort out the issue at the earliest.
"Bilateral series is a different ball game. But this is is a world event and India has the honour to host the event. We are not hosting with any other country. India is the sole host and onus is on us to make it a successful event," he said.
Asked about the objections raised by families of martyrs post the Pathankot attack, Thakur said: "We all condemn the Pathankot attack. But at the same time, we can't bring politics to sports.
"We have the utmost respect for our martyred soldiers and their families but some of the people (mainly politicians) who are objecting to the game are same people who let Pakistan play in Dharamsala post Kargil War. In 2005, these same people were seen with the Pakistani players," said the BCCI secretary, who is also heading Himachal cricket.
He said the BCCI doesn't have a Plan B if the match is not allowed to take place.
"There is no Plan B. It is anyway not easy to make changes at the last moment," said Thakur.
He said the Chief Minister has assured that there is enough security personnel in the state for the big match.
"I asked the CM that if there is a shortage of security personnel in HP, you can also take the help of central government. But he has assured that the state has enough policemen to provide security," Thakur added.

Halley's Comet comes around every 75 years. From what I can gather on Wikipedia the comet is not spinning that fast, has a large elliptical orbit, and has been recorded since 240 BC returning on a very regular schedule.
Why would we NOT use Halley's comet as a probe? We already landed Philae on Churyumov–Gerasimenko going 135,000 km/h. Is it that much of a stretch to land it on Halley going 254,016 km/h? (The Sidereal rotation period is ~4.5 times longer for Halley.)
Isn't this rock a super-good candidate for a long-term solar system exploring probe?
