From the current work it is evident that
From the current work, it is evident that MM incidence in India exhibits considerable variation across sex, age and geographical regions of the country. A male preponderance was noticed. The MM rates (both crude and age-adjusted) in men exceeded those in women (at zonal as well as national levels), which concurs with reports from other world regions [12,35,36]. With respect to age, some hospital-based studies have previously reported a lower age of MM onset in Indian patients (median: ∼55 years) [13,15,16,18,19,37]. This is nearly a decade earlier than that in the USA (median: ∼67 yrs in Blacks, ∼66 yrs in Hispanics, and ∼71 yrs in Whites) [16,36,37]. The reported median MM onset age of around 55 years in Indians is also quite early than that in other Asian patients, viz. Thai (59 yrs), Chinese (59 yrs), Koreans (61 yrs), Singaporean (62 yrs), Taiwanese (63 yrs), Hong Kongese (65 years) and Japanese (66 yrs) , and patients from Latin America (61 yrs)  and Africa (62 yrs) . However, the current study found that most MM patients from India overall were aged between 60 and 69 yrs at the time of diagnosis. Exceptions to this trend were seen in the Northern and Central zones where 50–59 yrs was the most common age category for MM detection, and also in the Eastern zone where the majority of the new MM patients were aged 70 yrs or older. In addition to these variations, stark differences in age-adjusted incidence existed across the different zones of India. For example, the AARs for the Northern and Southern zones were at par or higher than the global average, whereas the AAR for the Northeastern zone matched those for world regions with the lowest AAR values. This remarkable heterogeneity in MM incidence across different zones of India may be due to the differences in environmental and lifestyle factors. This may partly explain the lesser incidence of MM in the remote Northeastern zone as compared to the MM incidence in the PBCRs located in the relatively more industrial and developed Northern and Southern zones. Urban areas are usually associated with greater environmental and occupational exposure to air pollutants, chemical carcinogens and ionizing Loxapine Succinate and also with lifestyle factors (viz. Westernized diet and greater presence of overweight/ obesity) that are known to predispose to MM [10,12,34,, , , , ]. Further, quality of health care resources may affect myeloma diagnosis. In general, MM incidence in urban/metropolitan areas is higher than that in rural areas [45,46]. Since MM is a rare disease and its diagnosis is lab-intensive requiring sensitive investigations, hence it may be under-reported if the available healthcare facilities for myeloma detection are inadequate. Urban and industrialized areas with better health facilities are more likely to have improved myeloma detection than their rural and less developed counterparts; and this may partly account for the higher incidence of myeloma in urban localities. In general, the healthcare resources in northeast India are modest as compared to other parts of the country . However, it deserves mention that the states in the Northeastern zone otherwise have a very high burden of overall cancer in general. In fact, unlike for MM, the highest AAR values for cancer in general for both males and females in India are reported from PBCRs of the Northeastern zone (Aizawl district under Mizoram PBCR for males, Papumpare district under Naharlagun PBCR for females) . In addition to environmental factors, genetic susceptibility to MM is suggested to vary by the racial background [, , , ,11]. The Indian population is heterogeneous and multiracial with diverse ethnic affiliations. Thus, it is plausible that both genetic and environmental factors are collectively responsible for the heterogeneity in MM incidence noticed among the different zones in India. The urban versus rural disparities in MM incidence in India could not be explored in details in the current analyses. That was because most PBCRs in the country (listed in Supplementary material 1) cater to populations from entire state or district(s), i.e. both rural and urban areas fall under the geographical area of the PBCR. Cancer data from the rural and the urban areas under such PBCRs are not provided separately in the NCRP reports . Only the Barshi (rural) registry covered an exclusively rural population in the 2012-14 period, where the crude and age-adjusted MM rates in men as well as women were considerably lower than those in the exclusively urban registries [namely: Chennai, Delhi, Bangalore, Ahmedabad (urban), Kolkata, Kamrup (urban), Mumbai, Pune, Nagpur, Aurangabad, and Bhopal].

Pulsair’s mixer pump for sewer station, is unique in the sense that there are no moving parts in the pump station. Large compressed air bubbles are released adjustable intervals right on the tank floor. All the energy from each bubble creates a pressure zone across the tank floor to stir up settled, untreated sewage to lift and pull these solids to surface breaking up any formed grease caps.
The Pulsair sewage pump station mixing process provides excellent mixing for any size sewer pump station to ensure all the raw sewage that is pumped to the central wastewater treatment plant is properly and uniformly mixed. There are no moving parts inside the pump station and periodic cleaning of the pump station can be eliminated entirely.
“The Pulsair unit has been working very well. Since it has been up and running the wet well that needed cleaning once a week has needed no attention.” — David Fox, PUD Assistant Manager, Pump Station Maintenance, Hillsborough County, FL

Oyo State Governor Seyi Makinde on Monday signed the state N268.8billion 2021 appropriation bill into law.
The brief signing ceremony held at the Executive Council Chamber, Agodi-Secretariat, Ibadan.
Addressing top government functionaries and members of the Oyo state House of Assembly who were at the signing ceremony after signing the document, Makinde said the 2021 budget will accommodate more developmental projects for the state, with the budget performance set at 70 per cent.
He added that the budget christened “Budget of Continued Consolidation” will increase the state’s ability to respond to economic challenges adding that his administration will do all the needful to achieve the fiscal sustainability of the budget.
He commended the lawmakers for the effort put into the process to ensure that it was completed on time.
He also at the event denied the alleged report that the budget was ‘padded’ by the lawmakers noting that they have a right to review it upwards.
Recall that the governor had ordered the downward review of the N273.7billion budget earlier approved by the House of Assembly to N268.8billion due to the need to achieve a favourable budget performance.
He assured that the year 2021 would see many infrastructural projects started by his administration being completed, adding that his administration would continue to be innovative to ensure that the budget achieved its performance.

A thermocouple can be a generally utilized style of sensor that is certainly used to evaluate temperature. Thermocouples are well-known in industrial Command applications because of their reasonably cheap and broad measurement ranges. Specifically, thermocouples excel at measuring significant temperatures exactly where other popular sensor varieties are not able to functionality. Attempt operating an integrated circuit (LM35, AD 590, and so on.) at 800C.
Thermocouples are fabricated from two electrical conductors crafted from two various steel alloys. The conductors are generally designed right into a cable having a warmth-resistant sheath, typically with the integral shield conductor. At 1 finish of your cable, The 2 conductors are electrically shorted with each other by crimping, welding, and many others. This conclusion of your thermocouple–the new junction–is thermally attached to the item to get calculated. The other stop–the cold junction, from time to time called reference junction–is connected to a measurement program. The objective, needless to say, is to find out the temperature near the very hot junction.
It ought to be mentioned the “incredibly hot” junction, and that is relatively of a misnomer, may in reality be at a temperature reduce than that from the reference junction if reduced temperatures are being calculated.
Reference Junction Compensation Thermocouples produce an open up-circuit voltage, known as the Seebeck voltage, that is proportional to your temperature distinction between the recent and reference junctions :
Vs = V(Thot-Tref)
Considering that thermocouple voltage can be a perform from the temperature difference between junctions, it’s important to find out each voltage and reference junction temperature to be able to determine the temperature at the hot junction. Therefore, a thermocouple measurement system will have to both evaluate the reference junction temperature or Management it to take care of it at a set, regarded temperature.
There exists a misunderstanding of how thermocouples operate. The false impression would be that the scorching junction will be the source of the output voltage. This can be Completely wrong. The voltage is created throughout the length of the wire. Therefore, if the entire wire size is at precisely the same temperature no voltage will be created. If this were not genuine we hook up a resistive load to some uniformly heated thermocouple within an oven and use further warmth in the resistor to generate a perpetual movement equipment of the very first form.
The erroneous model also promises that junction voltages are produced for the chilly close concerning the Unique thermocouple wire and also the copper circuit, therefore, a cold junction temperature measurement is necessary. This idea is Improper. The cold thermocouple sensor -conclude temperature would be the reference position for measuring the temperature difference through the length of your thermocouple circuit.
Most industrial thermocouple measurement devices choose to evaluate, as opposed to Manage, the reference junction temperature. This is due to the fact that it’s almost always more affordable to simply insert a reference junction sensor to an present measurement process than to include on a full-blown temperature controller.
Sensoray Wise A/D’s evaluate the thermocouple reference junction temperature via a focused analog enter channel. Dedicating a special channel to this purpose serves two applications: no application channels are consumed from the reference junction sensor, and also the devoted channel is instantly pre-configured for this purpose without having requiring host processor guidance. This Exclusive channel is designed for direct link into the reference junction sensor that may be common on a lot of Sensoray termination boards.
Linearization In the “useable” temperature selection of any thermocouple, There’s a proportional romance involving thermocouple voltage and temperature. This partnership, on the other hand, is in no way a linear romance. In reality, most thermocouples are incredibly non-linear about their running ranges. So that you can obtain temperature information from a thermocouple, it’s important to transform the non-linear thermocouple voltage to temperature models. This method known as “linearization.”
Numerous techniques are generally utilized to linearize thermocouples. On the very low-Expense end of the answer spectrum, one can restrict thermocouple working array this sort of the thermocouple is nearly linear to throughout the measurement resolution. At the other conclude in the spectrum, Particular thermocouple interface factors (built-in circuits or modules) are available to conduct the two linearization and reference junction payment within the analog domain. Normally, neither of such procedures is well-fitted to Charge-helpful, multipoint details acquisition programs.

Japan Must Act Now to Stop Leaks of Radioactive Water
TEPCO, Japanese Regulator Must Act Now to Stop Leaks of Radioactive Water
Amsterdam, August 6, 2013 - Leaking radioactive water at the Fukushima nuclear power plant has now been declared an "emergency" by Japan's Nuclear Regulatory Authority. In response, Dr. Rianne Teule, nuclear campaigner at Greenpeace International, said:
"The worsening leaks of contaminated water at the Fukushima nuclear plant prove TEPCO is incapable of dealing with the disaster. Japan's authorities must now step in and ensure action is finally taken to stop the leaks.
"Concerns about contaminated water likely leaking into the ocean were voiced long ago by experts, but TEPCO anxiously hid the leaks. The leaks are an international environmental concern and a catastrophe for the local fishery community.
"There's still a long road ahead before the Fukushima nuclear disaster is fully contained and the Japanese people continue to pay the price. It's clear the industry in Japan or elsewhere is unable to cope with an accident like Fukushima, nor is it taking any responsibility. The only way to prevent a nuclear disaster is to abandon nuclear energy and rapidly shift towards renewables."

For over six months, Israelis have been protesting what many see as an erosion of democracy within the country. In particular, Israelis have been protesting against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s “judicial reform” which aims to challenge the nation’s balance of power by weakening the Supreme Court. While much of the media attention around the protests and the reform has been around its long term effects on Israeli society and how it affects Israel’s status as a democracy– albeit a flawed one- it is important to consider how the judicial reform teaches us the danger of politicizing courts and how the events in Israel teach a painful lesson to other countries.
Netanyahu’s “judicial reform” is one of a series of controversial initiatives from his controversial governing coalition. A major reason that the current Israeli government – by far the furthest right in Israel’s history – is pushing through this reform is that they see the court system as being biased against them. There is merit to this claim due to the process by which judges are chosen. The Israeli judiciary does lean heavily to the left of the political spectrum. However, the solution is not to muzzle or get rid of the court, as this is deeply dangerous. What is needed is a way for Israel to maintain a strong, independent judiciary that is reliably impartial, to uphold fundamental rights, and for Israelis to feel it fairly represents them and their interests. Its Supreme Court must match the composition of the country it represents.
To be clear, the “judicial reform” is a bad idea. Anyone who cares about Israel worries about what this overhaul will do for Israeli democracy and for human rights in Israel and the West Bank. Considering who is proposing and pushing through this “reform”, it is deeply troubling what they will do without the courts standing in their way.
A reasonable part of the proposal is reforming the nomination process to match voter preferences, so that judges reflect the public’s values. However, for extremists in the coalition, that was never their goal for “judicial reform.” The “judicial reform” is the first step in Israel’s current far-right governing coalition’s plan to remake Israel in their own image. Their interest is in weakening the courts. Israel’s courts draw legal lines that cannot be crossed, which the coalition wishes to cross anyway.
A key part of the “reform” is to limit the Supreme Court’s ability to overturn laws it considers “unreasonable” and make constitutional review more difficult due to alleged abuses of these powers. They also wish to change how Supreme Court justices are appointed and give Israel’s parliament, the Knesset, the ability to “override” with a simple majority.
More ideological balance on Israel’s Supreme Court would likely not prevent extremists from attempting to muzzle it. Indeed, evidence is to the contrary, as they have turned down several reasonable proposals for compromise that aim to address such legitimate gripes. However, the reason why the coalition was able to propose this “judicial reform” is many Israelis are angry at not being adequately represented by the court system. The perception of court bias is the root cause that made this “judicial reform” politically palatable in the first place.
Compare this with the US Supreme Court, which has come under attack for becoming beholden and biased to the right wing as a direct result of the political maneuvering and utter hypocrisy that was necessary for Republicans to appoint the justices necessary to overturn Roe v. Wade. While Republicans got the politically-biased court they wanted and overturned Roe v. Wade, the price was loss of public confidence and trust in the court’s impartiality. US Supreme Court decisions are now perceived as being no longer based on long-standing principles, rather than politics and right-wing judicial activism.
Proposals of some progressive Democrats to “pack the court” are concerning, as they would ultimately further politicize the courts. Many see Amy Coney Barrett as an illegitimate political nominee, only there due to Senator McConnell’s mathematical maneuvering. How do those who support packing the court think their nominees will be viewed by the rest of America? What is clear is that none of this should have happened in either Israel or the US, and that politicizing any Supreme Court is an incredibly dangerous outcome.
The fundamental reason that the courts in Israel and the US are not trusted is because they are seen as ideologues striking down any law they dislike, rather than neutral arbiters of justice whose interest is accurately and evenly enforcing and interpreting the law with judicial temperament. What is needed in both Israel and the US is more of an effort to ensure the court’s composition matches that of the people they govern.
The problem is not that judges have political opinions because judges are people and this is unavoidable. However, we should keep this in mind and ensure that the biases are balanced and that courts as a whole represent diverse perspectives. Not every person will like every justice on their country’s Supreme Court, but people need to feel there are justices on the court who see the world the way they do and feel that they are adequately represented.
A strong and independent judiciary is a necessary ingredient for any democracy. With increasing political polarization, respect for the judiciary is an important tool for keeping an ideologically divergent nation together. Manipulating the courts threatens this. We need to rethink how we select judges and put special emphasis on creating a court that the entire nation can support and trust. Otherwise, it is only a matter of time before more countries’ governments start doing “reforms” like the extremists in Israel.

Through education, reduce human trafficking of Michigan Teens. Every second counts!
This petition had 493 supporters
The next Amber Alert you receive could very well be a victim of human trafficking.
According to Michigan's Attorney General, Bill Schuette, "human trafficking is the second-largest and fastest-growing criminal industry in the world." This modern-day form of slavery includes a diverse range of populations, but is particularly prevalent among youths. It is estimated that up to 40% of all human trafficking victims includes the sexual exploitation of a child. Though efforts are underway to bring justice to perpetrators, much more could be done to protect children.
A good place to start is by spreading awareness of the dangers and warning signs of human trafficking to adolescents in school. A massive entry point for human traffickers exists through social media. Many children have access to websites such as Facebook, and are often contacted by perpetrators as a form of recruiting process. Through awareness and education, a potential victim could protect themselves or others from an incredibly dangerous situation.
This petition hopes to urge legislators to add a mandatory human trafficking segment to Freshmen School Orientations required in public schools. The educational materials are already being developed by the Michigan Human Trafficking Taskforce, and need only be fine-tuned and implemented. In doing so, many might be saved from this growing epidemic. By signing below, you are spreading a message to local and state legislators that education and awareness is an important element in the fight against human trafficking.

Almaden Quicksilver County Park
Park Trails - Northside
Senador Mine Herreschoff Furnace Remains
These are pictures along the park's northside trails. They run through some of the most scenic sections of the park. The north entrance is in the middle of a suburb in the Almaden Valley, but it is a neighborhood entrance with no parking lot and is not a staging area. Park visitors are requested either to not park near the entrance or to use the other park staging areas that have parking lots: Mockingbird Lane, the Hacienda, and Hicks Road. Heavy rains may result in trail closures. Bicycles are not allowed in this area. A short paved road passes between the site of a former private dairy on the right and a hill and meadow on the left. The road crosses over a concrete bridge built in 1924 to ford a small creek. The road runs next to the creek and leads to a gate at the junction of the Senador Mine Trail and the beginning of the Mine Hill Trail. Trail maps are available at this junction. The Mine Hill Trail leads up to the left.
Click on the thumbnails below to see a bigger picture:
The Senador Mine Trail leads southwest down a narrow valley,
the start of the New Almaden Trail. The hills on the right are covered
with wildflowers, particular poppies, in the spring. The New Almaden
branches off to the left. It crosses over a bridge and runs as a
through a narrow ravine, then rises up to join the Mine Trail. The New
Almaden Trail is covered in more detail on the New
Almaden Trail page.
The Senador Mine Trail continues west to the Senador Mines
site is marked by 3 huge concrete structures, some 2-stories
that are the remains of the mine's 40-ton Herreschoff Furnace, built in
1915. An historical marker describes the site. The Senador (Senator in
English) Mine opened in 1863 and was worked until 1926. The reduction
was built in 1915. Its Herreschoff multi-hearth furnace and electric
precipitator were the first ever used in the quicksilver industry. The
mine produced some 20,000 flasks of mercury. A picture in the mining
museum shows what the mine site looked like in its heyday. Now, the
area is covered with grasses and chaparral, with huge piles of mine
on the north side. There's a picnic table and horse trough here. The
Mine Trail, which up until this point has been relatively level, begins
a long, steady climb up the hill. As it peaks out, it swings around to
the south, providing a view of the mine site below and parts of the
Valley and Santa Teresa Hills. The trail ends at the junction with the
Guadalupe Trail at a pass in the hills.
The Guadalupe Trail, which starts at a junction with the Mine
and the New Almaden Trail, heads west and drops down into the valley of
Guadalupe Creek. Guadalupe Creek flows northwest through the
valley at the foot of the towering Sierra Azul range to the west.
Mount Umunhum (from the Ohlone word for "hummingbird"), topped by a
Air Force radar station, overlooks the valley. The headwaters of
Guadalupe Creek begin on the slopes of Mt. Umunhum. A large portion of
Azuls, some 14,000 total acres, belongs to the Mid-Peninsula
Open Space District. It makes up the largest preserve in the district.
The Guadalupe Trail parallels the creek, running through shady oak
At one point, a short path leads down to the banks of the creek.
Guadalupe Creek is dammed up to form Guadalupe Reservoir. The
leads up to the dam and rises above the reservoir to join the
Hill Trail. The east shoreline and the dam are accessible from the
Swimming is not allowed in the reservoir, but fishing is permitted for
licensed fishermen. However, the fish in this reservoir, as well as in
all bodies of water in the park's watershed, are unsafe to eat due to
from mercury runoff. It is one of the more unfortunate legacies of the
mercury mining era.
The Guadalupe Trail ends at the junction with the Mine Hill
6.4-mile long Mine Hill Trail is the highest and second longest trail
the park. It runs nearly the entire length of the park, reaching the
high point at 1,700 foot Mine Hill, then descends to the park's
Entrance at Almaden Road, which is covered in the southwest
From the junction of the Guadalupe Trail south, the Mine Hill
passes the beginning of the Randol Hill trail, which branches off to
east. The Randol Trail is covered more in the southeast
trail page. The Mine Hill Trail begins to climb steadily to the
with spectacular views of the reservoir and the South Bay. Bicycles are
allowed from here south on this section of the Mine Hill Trail, as well
as all of the Randol Trail. A side trail, the Providencia Trail, loops
off the Mine Hill Trail to the west and overlooks a tiny pond,
Pond, located on a hillside above the upper reaches of Guadalupe
The Providencia Trail climbs back up steeply to join the Mine Hill
Trail. From here, the Mine Hill Trail can be taken to the south to the
Entrance, or back to the north to return to the Guadalupe Trail
Heading back north on the Mine Hill Trail, from the southern
with the Guadalupe Trail, the Mine Hill Trail runs northwest along the
shady eastern slopes of the hills. (Bicycles are not allowed north of
Randol Trail junction.) The Almaden Valley and large portions of the
Bay can be seen from gaps in the trees. At 0.4 miles north of the
Trail junction, the short Cinnabar Trail footpath branches off to the
to provide a connector path to the New Almaden Trail.
The Mine Hill Trail continues north to meet the northern end
Guadalupe Trail and the New Almaden Trail crossing. The New Almaden
which has been approaching along the hillsides from the south, crosses
the Mine Hill Trail and drops down through a narrow valley to its end
the Senador Mine Trail. The Guadalupe Trail heads uphill to the west to
join the Senador Mine Trail. The Mine Hill Trail turns to the east,
gradually through a pass, then drops down along the western edge of a
sunny valley where deer can often be seen grazing. It then runs though
a narrow shady ravine to meet the Senador Mine Trail.
A nice, scenic and popular 2-mile walk is to take the Senador Mine Trail to the Guadalupe Trail east, then take the Mine Hill Trail back. This loop takes less than an hour.

The firm considers creating the car with more stylish look in order to make it stands out from the other autos. There is a big report that the 2016 Altima also will certainly be released in the middle of 2015 yet no confirmation we receive from the authorities. Nissan is known as one of one of the most trustworthy as well as skilled automakers. This is in reference to quality of cars they have supplied to their customers in the past. The fifth-gen automobile was well gotten, being applauded for its smooth and also quiet ride, comfortable seats, well-crafted interior and also for being fairly amusing on twisty roadways. Its solid energy economic climate, a specifically crucial task in this sector, also assisted it obtain a large amount of fans. Nissan Altima is among the earliest versions this automobile company has made. 2016 Nissan Altima will certainly be availabla as Nissan Altima SV, Nissan Altima SL as well as Nissan Altima S. Nissan’s designers have chosen to lower the weight of brand-new Altima. 2016 Nissan Altima
Just what are the changes in the new model?
This is mostly due to their purposes to improve general performances as well as to lower fuel usage of the car. As generally, this has been acheived with the use of lightweight products such as aluminum and carbon. This mid-size high-end car stands for hostile nature as well as excellent body lines. New Altima is visiting be quite sophisticated. Changes are mainly made inside the car due to the fact that the brand-new Nissan Altima is visiting keep its fundamental form (2014 design). The log cabin will certainly enhanced with innovative technology and also with the most recent functions. The Altima is likely to keep its gracious beltline and also stooped rear trademarks, but remove the attacking torso cover that goes deep right into the rear bumper. Sure, this feat is one-of-a-kind and makes the Nissan stand out, however it’s rather disruptive for a car that intends to bring more improvement to the midsize market. Exhaust electrical outlets integrated right into the bumper would be a yet one more welcome addition. The wheels will be bigger to raise area, security yet additionally the looks. Headlights, taillights as well as front lights will certainly be furnished with chrome trims and LED lights. The framework will certainly be improved and also doned with brand-new aspects however do not anticipate anything significantly various from this year version. 2016 Nissan Altima
Just what are the engines on deal?
The front seats will certainly be made much more comfy with power modification, heating as well as air flow features for max deluxe. On the back seats, there is quality cloth and leather furniture every one of which job to improve the convenience and also to supply tiredness complimentary trips. On the side of sophisticated attributes, the vehicle will certainly acquire a 4-inch screen, navigation system, Mobile phone connectivity and also USB ports as a common yet numerous of these can be updated. You should not obtain your hopes up for brand-new powertrains, as the Altima is likely to proceed with the present lineup of engines, that includes the 2.5-liter four-cylinder and the 3.5-liter V-6. The four-banger makes 182 horsepower and 180 pound-feet of torque, while the V-6 churns 270 ponies as well as 251 pound-feet. The auto might be provided with 3 trim levels such as S, SL and SV. Each and every trim has various engine. Badly, there is no details whatsoever pertaining to the transmission since the company does not show it to public yet. There is a solid sign that the car could be really cost-effective to offer greater energy intake by using V6 engine and also extremely light in weight product. 2016 Nissan Altima
When will show up on the market? The price?
If this occurs we can see the very same powertrain that has actually been gotten ready for Pathfinder which incorporated the 2.5 liter supercharged system as well as electrical motor that obtains power from Li-Ion battery pack. Similar like just before this powertrain might offer regarding 218 hp and 210 lb-ft of torque which is enough for velocity from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 6.5 seconds that is just a shy slower compared to the V6 outfitted model. As far as we know, new 2016 Nissan Altima will certainly cost around $22,300, and also it will certainly attack the showroom floors sometime in the mid of 2015. Nevertheless, the exact release date is not yet made clear for this reason it might change depending upon when the car manufacturer determines to release it. 2016 Nissan Altima

At The Plaid Horse, horses are a part of the family. There is no better way to make a horse feel loved and appreciated than by feeding it a healthy diet. You could say that the way to a horse’s heart is through his/her stomach. Herbs and veggies are some of the most nutritious and tasty food for horses.
But some can be harmful. Also, when a horse feeds on the wrong quantities, herbs and vegetables could have adverse effects.
We are here to help. We will share with you some basic rules of feeding horses and have a quick look at some herbs and vegetables that you can incorporate in your horse’s diet.
Feeding Horses: The Basics
When feeding horses, ensure the diet consists of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, minerals, and water. The nutritional requirements will vary with the class and weight of the horse. You don’t expect an expectant mare to have the same nutritional needs as a young thoroughbred.
There are many rules about feeding horses. But the critical ones are: first, all horses must take sufficient water and roughage. Second, a regular routine is a must.
Fortunately, this article is about feeding your horse herbs and vegetables. Both feed types have high contents of roughage and water, they are highly nutritious and tasty.
Herbs are plants that contain high levels of desirable bioactive compounds. These compounds are often found in the raw (unprocessed) forms or in their extracts.
Herbs offer various benefits for horses ranging from improved digestion, enhanced immune system, and soothing excitable behavior, and relieving pain. We have picked some popular herbs you can include in your horse’s diet. Here is what they do for the horse.
Stinging nettle: They are rich in vitamin C, iron, roughage, and protein. Some say that the stinging nettle is a blood cleanser. Perhaps this is because stinging nettle also boosts the ability to absorb iron and improves blood circulation. Nettles also keep skin ailments at bay.
When serving, cut the nettles into small pieces to avoid choking. Serve small quantities as you observe whether the horse likes it. Also look out for reactions. Some horses have allergic reactions to stinging nettle.
Comfrey: It is the wonder herb for horses. They love how it tastes, and the health benefits are immense. Comfrey boosts the healing of damaged bones (sore shins, chipped knees, etc.), reduces the effects of arthritis, and relieves tendon strains. It also has a reputation for aiding the respiratory system.
An adult horse can comfortably eat about 40 leaves and one root of comfrey a day. But feeding should not be too frequent. Continued ingestion over long periods could hurt the liver.
Evening Primrose: The seeds contain primrose oil. It is an excellent source of healthy dietary fats. Traditional horse owners applied the oil on minor wounds to aid in healing.
However, it is not only oil that is good for horses. The leaves are also edible and are perfect for easing digestive issues and sore throat. This herb has multiple anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities that are beneficial for the general health of horses.
However, if a horse overeats in a single feeding, it could cause diarrhea.
Garlic is widely known and acclaimed for human health. But it is also great for horses.
Bioactive compounds in raw garlic can kill bacteria, aid in circulation, and prevent clotting within vessels. But the most sought-after benefit of garlic is the ability to repel pests such as ticks, mosquitoes, and flies.
When feeding your horse, the amount has to be just right. Otherwise, the horse could develop Heinz body anemia. Fortunately, all horses, even wild ones, know when to stop eating garlic.
Feeding horses vegetables is a great way to reward them as opposed to processed treats. But some vegetables could harm horses and not all horses like all kinds of vegetables. So give them small quantities at first as you establish what they like and what they don’t.
Swede is a root vegetable that looks like a turnip but slightly bigger. According to horsevills.com, horses love the sweet taste of swede. If your horse has to spend lots of time in the stable, a hanging swede treat is a perfect way to keep it busy. However, horses with laminitis can only eat specific quantities of swede. Ask your vet how many swedes would be safe.
Pumpkins: They are rich in potassium, vitamin A, vitamin C, fiber, magnesium, iron, and protein. They improve circulation, relieve arthritis symptoms, and relieve constipation.
Cut the pumpkin into small pieces and feed the horse. Take care not to give it the flesh only not the gourd part. Horses seem to enjoy raw pumpkin more than boiled. But limit intake to about two handfuls in a day.
Carrots are famed for their high content of beta-carotene (vitamin A), vitamin K, and potassium. They promote good digestion, promote a healthy coat, and have anti-inflammatory qualities.
When feeding your horse, cut carrots into small strips to prevent choking.
A final word
Horses love herbs and vegetables. The above herbs and vegetables are available and will make your horse feel great and look fabulous. Remember to give small quantities at first. Then observe how the horse reacts to the herb or vegetable, and consult a vet if anything looks strange.

In smaller urban areas, freight transportation is often not explicitly modeled, but is included implicitly as a percentage of non-home-based trips, which has nothing to do with the actual behavior of freight. This incorporation has the potential to develop future traffic forecasts that are unreasonable and potentially will lead to poor roadway infrastructure investment decisions. The federal freight flow data contained in the Freight Analysis Framework Version 2.2 (FAF2) Database has the potential to improve the forecast year accuracy, however, use of the database itself is often suspect and the large aggregation level of the database usually makes it impractical. This paper examines a process to systematically improve the forecasted volumes from the FAF2 using local industry sector knowledge to a potential level that is acceptable for urban transportation modeling. A case study is shown using the state of Alabama to demonstrate the process of adjusting the FAF2 data to account for industries located in the community. The paper concludes that with appropriate adjustment and application, the FAF2 database can be used for in forecasting future travel demand in a smaller urban area.

- Students will be able to define statistics as it relates to different groups of numerical data.
- Students will be able to evaluate which statistical graph should be used to display samples of data.
- Students will be able to construct statistical graphs based on their own experiences from everyday life.
Background Information/Prior Knowledge
Students have demonstrated competency in graphing coordinates in the Cartesian coordinate system. The students have located points on a plane and have drawn a coordinate grid separated by a horizontal number line (the x-axis) and a vertical number line (the y-axis). The statistical graphs that will be employed for this unit will also work with two-dimensional surfaces.
Preparation for Teaching:
- Do Now Questions and Answer
- Laptop Cart with individual laptops for student use
- Notebook Software
(1) Jefferson Math Project
(2) Barrons Regents Review
(3) Castle Learning
(4) Oswego Regents Prep
- Lesson Page handout
- Graph Paper, White Paper, Colored Paper
- Frequency Table and Frequency Histogram Example #1 (from website)
- Frequency Table and Frequency Histogram Example #2 (from website)
- Statistics Survey (Notebook)
- Bar Graph Example (from website)
- Regents Examples (from website)
- Homework from Castle Learning
This lesson will connect applications of statistics to events in the students’ everyday lives. Students will also be afforded the opportunity to produce graphs interactively which is an engaging activity.
From Module 8, Flashcard Exchange has been used to learn the vocabulary interactively.
1. Statistics – is the study of numerical data. These data are collections of related numerical information, such as sports scores and records, election results, real estate sales, and grades on Regents exams.
2. Stem-and-leaf plot – is a displays that shows each data value.
3. Frequency histogram – is used to display grouped data and is similar to a vertical bar graph. The widths of all the bars are equal and represent equal intervals. The frequency for each interval is represented by the height of its bar. Just as there are no gaps between intervals, there should be no gaps between bars.
4. Bar graph – looks like a histogram. However, the height or length of each bar represents an amount, or value, rather than a frequency. The greater the value, the longer or higher the bar. A bar graph can be vertical or horizontal.
5. Line graph – is used to describe a trend, or changes over time, for one particular item. The horizontal axis is a number line showing time. The vertical axis shows numeric amounts.
6. Scatter plot – relates tow sets of data. Usually, both the vertical axis and the horizontal axis show numeric amounts.
7. Circle graph – shows how percents or parts of a whole are distributed. The whole circle always represents 100% of the data.
How do we determine which statistical graph best fits our numerical data?
How do we construct the following statistical graphs: stem-and-leaf plots, frequency histograms, bar graphs, broken line graphs, scatter lots, circle graphs, and box-and-whisker plots?
How do we determine what data to extrapolate from statistical measures?
How do we present our statistical data so that meaningful conclusions can be drawn from them?
-The Do Now Questions will begin our discussion of data collection:
1. What size shoe do you wear?
2. How many different pants/shorts do you own?
3. Approximately how many hours a week, do you watch television?
Following the Do Now, the different types of statistical graphing will be previewed from the Oswego Regents Prep website.
-The demonstration will include the numerical data obtained from the survey
-A demonstration of the Frequency Table and the Frequency Histogram for shoe size is conducted using Notebook Software on the SmartBoard
-When moving from the listing of all different shoe sizes to shoe size interval, the concept of interval notation will be reviewed: Intervals – grouping the data into equal sized collections.
The students will now design their own Frequency Table and Frequency Histogram based on the data of pants/shorts ownership. The independent and dependent variable has been outlined on the histogram. Students will use their laptops to produce these histograms. A title will be included for this statistical graph.
-The teacher will model a bar graph from the data collected on weekly TV watching by young people using the Activity Toolkit from Notebook Software.
Students can summarize which statistical measures were reviewed today:
- the circle graph
- the line graph
- the frequency table
- the frequency histogram, and
- the bar graph.
Students can also discuss why one method was chosen in favor of another and the disadvantages of the various statistical measures.
The homework assignment will be reviewed which serves as a recap of the day’s lesson.
Formative: Students will be assessed informally through teacher observation and classroom discussion.
Summative: Students will be assessed by their frequency table and their frequency histogram as well as by answers given on the Interactive Worksheet using Sento where the teacher can quickly assess student
Barrons Regents Review - Assessment online
-The next lesson will review the line graph, the stem-and-leaf plot, and the box-and-whisker plot. Students will again be given the opportunity to design their own statistical graph.

POWAY, Calif. – Vitrek Corp. in Poway, Calif., is introducing the DL series of digital, programmable DC loads, designed to support the testing requirements for the latest generation of off-line power supplies, DC-DC converters and LED drivers.
The DL series also is equipped to handle a wide range of battery testing requirements. The devices come in three power ratings: 125, 250-,and 500-Watt versions, each with input voltages of zero to 150 or zero to 500 volts DC.
The DL series can support loading sequences that use constant voltage (CV), constant resistance (CR), constant current (CC), and constant power (CW) in any combination in single or arbitrary sequences of up to 100 steps.
The DL series provides high-current transient loading capability 20 times higher than other units in this class while also being capable of generating micro-amp loads.
Measurement accuracy typically is an order of magnitude better at lower loading levels and double that of competing devices at higher loads. The instruments allow for a current or power sweep of as many as 500 steps in each direction to and from set values and a voltage dependent current loading mode for complex variable output supplies.
Standard OCP/OPP/OTP/OVP features and battery test modes are among other loading modes also included. The instruments feature a self-test function, providing assurance that all loading and measurement circuitry is properly functioning.
Several interfaces come standard for automated use. Additional features include graphical and numerical historical data logging and graphical X/Y plotting of V vs A or W using swept loading.
