I'm going to do my best to do one of these posts at the end of every month starting from now, a quick round up of some of my favourite new things that month that maybe I haven't already mentioned elsewhere but that definitely deserve a shout out!
First up is a lovely gift shop based in Dublin which recently started shipping to the UK – Moss Cottage, where this stunning letter board (with a gold frame obviously) is from. Now I just need to come up with lots of quirky quotes. *Puts thinking cap on*
(Discount code for Moss Cottage at the bottom of this blog post)
Secondly, the most beautiful cushion cover I have ever come across from Nomess Copenhagen, they have a whole range of gorgeous cushions in a different designs – the best part is that the covers are memory foam so they look extra 3D and are extra squishy for comfort too!
You know I can't resist adding more gold storage to my office… so this gold letter tray looked right at home straight away from newly opened online shop Decorsphere. The store only recently opened but already has a lovely selection of stunning homewares (including a lot of gold) and make sure you check out the marble and gold tray!!
Okay my OCD in my office just went to a whole new level. But how cute does my stationery look organised properly in these gold dotted mugs?! Although I'm tempted to put a little cactus in each cup instead, that would be adorable wouldn't it? (Another fab find from Moss Cottage – Discount code for at the bottom of this blog post)
This product is a little bit different but I'm absolutely loving it. Basically, its a vaporising diffuser from Geo Mitchell but it's 100% natural, and I think everyone is becoming more and more conscious about these things so that really is very important these days. It's the best looking one I've seen so far, it looks super Scandi, so naturally I loved the design but the smells that are produced with the scented oils are incredible. My living room smells like an aromatherapy spa 7 days a week now, they are such a relaxing scents – 'Relax, Naturally' scent is my favourite so far – a delicious lavender smell. Also, I was really impressed with the amount of product you have to put in – basically you fill the diffuser with water and then pop just 3 drops of your chosen oil in with the water each time (and that will last for 6 hours until the water has run dry), so the scented oils will last a long time! Oh and since there's no flame or heat, they're safe to leave on while you're asleep, or with kids, pets etc. These are definitely worth getting if you love fragrance but want a safe, natural alternative to candles!
A bit different, but since about 95% of my readers are women it only seems right to share any skincare that I am loving lately, and I am loving these The Body Shop face masks – in particular, the British Rose Mask for my cheeks to hydrate and give a glow and the Himalayan Charcoal Mask which I use on my T-zone for a good exfoliation. My skin has never felt smoother after using it! Also I can't tell you how worth it it actually is getting the mask applicator brush, it makes it so much easier to apply and you don't end up using too much product (and wasting product by doing so) like you do when you use your fingers!
Honeywell Bakes blew me away once again with her bespoke biscuits, I just had to share these because they are just TOO cute not to!
My new favourite mug (another goody from Moss Cottage), probably the most appropriate mug for me that I have ever come across. If you are a fellow dog mum, you will get it. I need this one too when it's back in stock – 'I work hard so my dog can have a better life'. (Discount code for Moss Cottage at the bottom of this blog post)
And since we are clearly on the topic of the dogs, here's my favourite dog photo from this month – Mr Pig mid shake!
Use code LUST15 for 15% off everything (including sale items) over at Moss Cottage. Code expires midnight 04/06/17 & Enjoy free shipping to the UK on orders over €100!
That's everything for now! I hope you enjoyed my first 'Favourites' post! xx

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) or barbecue to medium. In a small bowl, stir butter with all the seasonings.
To flatten chicken, turn breast side down on a cutting board. Using a knife or kitchen scissors, cut out the backbone and discard. Remove excess fat. Turn breast side up. Cover with a piece of waxed paper. Press down on the the breast bone or smash with a heavy frying pan to break the bones and even the thickness of the chicken.
ROAST: Choose a rimmed baking dish large enough to hold the flattened chicken, such as a 9 x 13 inch (2 L) dish, and generously oil the pan. Spoon about two-thirds of the spice butter on the breast side of the chicken and rub all over the top side of the bird. Place chicken in the pan, spice-coated side down. Rub bone side with remaining spice butter, particularly on the chicken flesh. Pour orange juice in the pan around the bird and sprinkle chilies in the juice. Cover the underside of a large cast iron frying pan or metal pan, about the same size as the chicken, with foil. Place on top of the chicken. Weight down with a brick or heavy oven-proof object.
Bake in the 425°F (210°C) oven for 20 minutes. Turn chicken skin-side up and re-place pan and weights. Bake 15 minutes. Remove weights and pan. Continue roasting until skin is golden and an instant read thermometer inserted in the breast reaches 180°F (82°C), from 10 to 15 minutes. Remove from the pan and let sit 5 minutes before carving. Use juice mixture as a dipping sauce.
BARBECUE: Turn chicken breast side down on board. Rub half the spice butter over the bone side of the bird. Move to a plate for carrying to the barbecue, placing breast side up. Rub the rest of the spice butter over the breast side.Place chicken, breast side up, on the barbecue grill. Weigh down with a foil-covered brick or foil-covered heavy cast iron frying pan.
Close lid and barbecue on medium for 20 minutes. Remove the brick. Turn chicken. Replace foil on the brick and place on the chicken again. Continue grilling, covered, until chicken feels firm when pressed and an instant read thermometer inserted in the breast reaches 180°F (82°C), from 15 to 25 minutes. Remove to a cutting board and let sit 5 minutes before cutting into serving size pieces.
For a dipping sauce, combine juice and chilies in a wide frying pan. Boil until as thick as you like.
Chili-Orange Flattened Chicken
It's incredible how much taste is captured in every single bite when you flatten a chicken (not hard to do) then weight it down while roasting or barbecuing. It's a panini effect and definitely worth the little extra effort it takes – plus it packs an impressive punch when entertaining.
- Serves: 4
- Prep Time:
- Cook Time:
- 2 tbsp (30 mL) butter, melted
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) chili powder
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) cumin
- 1 tbsp (15 mL) hot sauce
- 1 tsp (5 mL) garlic salt
- 3 lb (1.4 kg) whole chicken
- 2 cups (500 mL) orange juice
- 1 tsp (5 mL) hot red chili pepper flakes
Prepare and bake chicken as above but skip the weighing down of the chicken. Instead simply lay a piece of foil loosely over top to help the chicken retain moisture and prevent the skin from burning. Bake, breast-side down, for 30 minutes. Then turn and bake, uncovered, for 10 to 15 minutes until golden.

May 18, 2020 update: Some of the information in this blog is no longer up-to-date. For the most recent update to CitC, please see the "A new era for Cumulus in Cloud" blog.
First of all, we're thrilled to announce that today we launched OpenStack with Cumulus in the Cloud. That means that you can now test out Cumulus Networks technology with an OpenStack environment easily and at zero cost to you.
I've written previously about Cumulus In The Cloud (CitC) when we first released it a month ago with Mesos as the initial release flavor. Since then, JR Rivers and his team have been diligently working on adding additional flavors to the CitC offering. I could not have been happier to hear the good news that they had integrated an OpenStack solution with the cloud testing framework. (We've also replaced the Mesos with Kubernetes, but that's for a different post!)
I immediately launched my own free instance of Cumulus in the Cloud using the standard steps. I was greeted with a new option where I could pick the flavor of CitC I wanted to initiate:
Since I had already experimented with Kubernetes, I was eager to tinker with OpenStack to better learn this technology.
To be upfront, I am not an OpenStack expert. I have been diligently learning it over the past six months ever since a majority of my customer engagements have involved private cloud deployments leading with OpenStack. As a network engineer first, one of the uncharted territories of my knowledge is the container and application networking. As I outlined in my previous post, I was able to leverage the Mesos deployment (now Kubernetes) on CitC to learn more about container networking. I was hoping to do the same in this OpenStack deployment.
Once my instance was launched I was greeted with a similar homepage:
I could have selected the Horizon console to launch the VM instance from a GUI, but this time I wanted to play around with the OpenStack CLI so I could feel more like a hacker. Plus, I had previously done everything in the Mesos deployment with the Marathon GUI, so I felt like trying something different.
In this environment, server01 is set up as the OpenStack controller with server02, server03 and server04 as the compute nodes. Before I could issue any OpenStack commands, I needed to source the authentication parameters which were in the home directory of server01.
I started off by checking the components of OpenStack with which I was familiar. The most basic of things to check was the current images available, flavors of deployments and networks created.
This output started to align with the OpenStack experience that I had previously. With that information validated, I wanted to launch a virtual machine using the Cirros image, with a nano side flavor and associated with the provider network.
And there it was, the VM was launched, but I wanted to validate that my VM was actually launched successfully.
Now that the VM was launched, I logged into it to test connectivity:
Wow! I was starting to get a hold of this OpenStack business. It was really nice to have a safe environment in which I could play around and learn various different OpenStack commands. That's all I had time for in this initial test, but I'll be sure to update you all in future posts about the interesting things you can do with Cumulus in the Cloud.
If you would like to try the technology out for yourself, simply make an account here.

text: Mmm Migas! October 30, 2014November 11, 2014 ~ Sarah Provan Mi migas! Don't wait until the weekend to treat yourself to a delicious breaky. It's probably my favourite meal of the day, it gets my metabolism fired up and fuels what lies ahead. Be conscious of what you put in your fuel tank and make that first meal clean of processed foods – including cereal bars/cereal/bread – they are LOADED with sugar and crazy chemicals that will cause your insulin to spike, leaving you hungry an hour or so later! Does that ring a bell for anyone? Prepare migas at the weekend and fill those tupperware boxes for the week ahead. It's easily reheated in the microwave and tastes just as good. So here goes: Beans: Eggs: ↠ Tin of black beans ↠ 2 Eggs beaten ↠ 8oz Tomato sauce ↠ 2 Cups spinach ↠ Tabasco sauce ↠ 1 Cup mushrooms ↠ Cayenne pepper ↠ 2 tbsp Avocado At medium temp, heat a tbsp of olive oil in a small saucepan. Add the beans, tomato sauce, 3 dashes tabasco and 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper (add more for added spice!). Bring to the boil and then simmer for about 10 minutes / until the beans are soft and sauce thick. At medium temp, heat tbsp of olive oil in a medium sized pan and add the mushrooms. Saute until soft and then add the eggs. Allow this to cook for a couple of minutes, mixing the mushrooms through the egg. As it begins to scramble add the spinach and cover, allowing the spinach to wilt. After a couple of mins, remove the lid and stir together, season with salt and black pepper as desired. I serve this with 2 tbsp's of avocado on the side. This meal is balanced in fat, protein and carbohydrates and will keep you full for a few hours. Substitute the mushrooms with any other tasty vegetable. Zucchini works really well. Rate this:Share this:FacebookEmailPrintLike this:Like Loading... Related

The room doesn't look anything like that now, since it's completely filled with boxes and crap everywhere that i need to put away. When it's all cleaned up, i'll finally be able to entertain guests.
In other news, dinner that weekend at Kingman was invaded by a Rotting Orchestra that went roving among the co-ops. One moment i was calmly eating my dinner, and the next, random co-opers were pouring through the windows, banging on pots and pans, playing violins, trumpets, and accordions, and generally making a deafening racket.


text: Stories & News Blogs Debunking some common bedwetting myths There are many myths around bedwetting - what causes this common, but complex childhood condition and how it should be treated. Here are ERIC's answers to just a few of them. Myth no 1: "There's no point treating bedwetting - children grow out of it eventually." This is the biggest myth we'd like to bust once and for all. Bedwetting can and should be treated. According to the UK's NICE guidelines on bedwetting in under 19s, all children who wet the bed should be seen by a health professional from the age of five years. A recent study has also shown that taking a 'watch and wait' approach and not seeking help means that children could be suffering from this condition and other bladder problems for far longer than they need to. Bedwetting can and should be treated from the age of 5 years. A doctor or nurse at a bedwetting clinic can check children for underlying reasons for the wetting such as a urinary tract infection or constipation and get these treated if necessary. By assessing their bladder and bowel and asking questions about their fluid intake, health professionals can try to work out why the bedwetting is happening before suggesting the most appropriate treatment to try first. Our bedwetting flowchart explains more about the different stages of treatment. You can also get lots of information and support by calling our bladder and bowel helpline. Myth no 2: "Children wet the bed because they're lazy." Bedwetting can be very tiring and stressful to deal with for everyone involved, but it's not something children do on purpose. It happens when they are asleep, so is outside of their conscious control. Living with bedwetting can be really distressing for the sufferer so some children and teenagers deal with their feelings of shame and embarrassment by going into denial, hiding wet bedclothes and acting as if they aren't bothered. It's really important to reassure children that bedwetting isn't their fault and they're not the only ones who do it. Take a look at our teen and kids pages for helping young people to understand more about their wetting problem. Myth no 3: "Bedwetting is caused by stress and emotional problems." Bedwetting isn't caused directly by psychological issues such as stress and anxiety, but dealing with it can cause emotional problems, especially low self-esteem. Bedwetting is also associated with an increased risk of behavioural problems such as ADHD. Any psychological or behavioural problem should be managed independently of the bedwetting symptoms. It's best to talk to your doctor about this. Any psychological or behavioural problem should be managed independently of the bedwetting symptoms. Periods of change and stress in a child's life can explain why they may suddenly start to wet again after even a long stretch of dryness (known as 'secondary enuresis'). This is because the hormone that regulates how much wee we produce at night, vasopressin, is affected by anxiety. So, when children are anxious, they produce less vasopressin, and as a result produce large quantities of dilute wee that the bladder can't hold, so they wet the bed. Children who start wetting again after a period of dryness (this is known as 'secondary nocturnal enuresis' should always be assessed by their GP to check for any underlying causes such as constipation, a urinary tract infection or diabetes. Myth no 4: "Punishing children will help them to stop wetting the bed." Children and teenagers don't have any control of their wetting so punishing them for it is like telling them off for coughing or sneezing. Getting annoyed with children for wetting is very likely to harm their self-esteem and add to their feelings of shame and isolation. Dealing with bedwetting can be difficult and tiring for everyone, but parents are carers need to try and stay as calm and supportive of their kids. Rather than promising a reward or treat for a dry bed, it's more effective and positive to rewards their efforts to be dry - something which they do have control over. Download our drinking and toileting reward charts to help get a reward system going. Rather than giving punishment for bedwetting, reward their efforts to be dry Myth no 5: "Children wet the bed because they are such deep sleepers." It is generally accepted that some children don't wake up and wet themselves because they don't pick up the bladder's signal that it needs to empty, rather than because they're in a deep sleep. So it's this inability to wake up rather than the depth of sleep being the cause. Recent research has indicated that children who wet the bed have poor sleep quality with many incomplete arousals. Myth no 6: "Taking children to the loo when they're asleep will cure their bedwetting." "Lifting' children to the toilet when they're asleep is something which may work for a while, but it's only a way of managing their bedwetting rather than curing it. It basically helps to get a dry bed rather than a dry child as you are deciding when they should do a wee rather than them responding to their own full bladder signal. Lifting can be helpful when a child first stops wearing nappies at night, however; if you do lift, make sure you put the light on and the child is fully awake.

The McClatchy Company, which owns 30 newspapers including the Kansas City Star and the Fort Worth Star-Telegram and the Sacramento Bee and the Charlotte Observer and the Miami Herald, filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy Thursday. Which is perhaps the worst news any of those papers will report today.
For one thing, McClatchy owes us a pension for the 25 years we spent toiling at one of the newspapers it acquired when it bought out the once-formidable Knight-Ridder Company. McClatchy has more than pensioners for every active employee, which is one of the many reasons for its bankruptcy filing, but the plan is to have the federal Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation take over most of its obligations, and although that's in negotiations we're hopeful it works out.
For another thing, and of more importance to the rest of the world, the bankruptcy is yet another sign of the rapid decline of American newspapers, and we're not at all hopeful that will soon change. All of McClatchy's newsrooms will continue to operate for now, with help from $50 million of financing from a company called Encina Business Credit, and if the courts agree they'll eventually be owned by a hedge fund called Chatham Asset Management LLC, but they have no experience in newspapers and will surely find the business as difficult as McClatchy did.
Because of this newfangled internet machine your local newspaper no longer has the monopoly it once enjoyed on stock market listings and baseball standings and astrological forecasts and comic strips, and one can easily and inexpensively acquire the national and international news from such a wide range of choices you'll be able to find one that only tells you what to hear. Worse yet, the internet has robbed newspapers of the classified advertising that used to be a lucrative revenue stream, and by now the internet knows enough about you that the big advertisers prefer to pay for ads that target the most likely customers. The business model that sustained American newspapers for centuries is suddenly obsolete.
This has resulted in severe downsizing at pretty much every newspaper in America, which has diminished the quality of the product even as its prices have steeply increased, and that naturally perpetuate and accelerates the industry's decline. The mid-sized daily where we once toiled had about 150 newsroom employees when we started there, which wasn't nearly enough to keep up with a mid-sized city such as Wichita, and these days they have about a dozen people on the job. They're doing the best they can to be a watchdog, and have done some very fine work lately covering all the shenanigans that City Hall and County Hall are up to, but they're getting most of their state news from the Kansas City Star, which used to be the rival they once competed with for statewide scoops, and most people aren't willing to shell out a full dollar for local news, especially when the local sports news is a day old because the papers are being printed in Kansas City.
Since 2006 McClatchy's advertising revenue fell by 80 percent and its print circulation dropped 58.6 percent, which is obviously the dire sort of thing that lands a company in bankruptcy court, and according to the Brookings Institute more than 2,000 newspapers have gone out of business in the last 15 years. There are cities larger than Wichita that don't have a daily newspaper, here in Wichita the paper only comes out six days a week, and no one should think that it can't happen where they are.
Some will cheer the demise of the "fake news" "enemies of the people" that told them so many things they didn't want to hear, but they'll miss it when its gone. City halls and county halls and state legislatures around the country will feel emboldened to pursue their shenanigans without a watchdog keeping an eye on them. The heroic exploits of your best local high school and collegiate athletes will go unsung, and the sorts of funny and touching human interest stories we used to write and the great photographs that went with them will go unpublished. The births and deaths of your fellow citizens and all sorts of public events will receive less notice, and your community will be poorer as a result.
There's still a chance those newsrooms will somehow survive on the internet, but so far they haven't figured out how to do that, as people don't like to pay for content and advertisers are targeting very small markets among even a big-sized paper's declining readership. The Salt Lake Tribune has recently been recognized as a nonprofit organization, and we expect other papers to follow, and several foundations have been funding journalism, which helps but also raises question about the foundations' objectivity. For now its hard to find the proverbial silver lining on the metaphorical clouds that hang over the newspaper business.
There must be some civic-minded demand for local news though, and we'll hope that the ingenious capitalist system will figure out some way to profitably supply the public. In any case, we'll hope to at least get our pension for all the years of wretchedly ink-stained work we put in on a noble profession.

We disclaim any liability for the use of this software, calculations or other information.
General notes for fuses and circuit breakers
Note 1:
First and foremost, the information found in this calculator, or in any other calculator, is not to be used as a recommendation to work on energized equipment. This information is intended to help assist in determining the proper flash protection boundary and level of PPE to help safeguard a worker from the burns that can be sustained from an arc flash incident. The output of this calculator does not address the worker protection required against the effects of pressure, shrapnel, molten metal spray, or the toxic copper vapor resulting from an arc fault. Workers must also be protected against these hazards and therefore additional investigations and additional personal protective equipment may be required.
Note 2:
The calculations and data in this calculator and procedures used for determining incident energy exposure, level of PPE, and flash protection boundary are based upon IEEE Standard 1584, Guide for Performing Arc Flash Hazard Calculations (23 September 2002). The methods for determining incident energy exposure from this IEEE 1584 standard were created so that the level of PPE selected from the calculated incident energy would be adequate to protect the torso against incurable arc flash burns for 98% of arc flash incidents. In up to 2% of incidents, serious injury, incurable burns to the torso, and death could result. (Equations are also provided in IEEE 1584 to cover 95% of arc flash incidents, but this calculator utilizes the more conservative equations related to 98% of arc flash incidents.) Calculations are based upon PPE with standard ATPVs of 1.2, 8, 25, 40 and 100 cal/cm2. PPE with intermediate ATPV values can be utilized, but at the next lower standard ATPV rating.
Note 3:
This information is not intended to promote working on or near exposed energized parts. The intent is for those situations such as taking voltage measurement during the lockout/tagout procedures where arc flash analysis must be performed and the worker must utilize adequate PPE while the circuit is being put into an electrically safe work condition.
Note 4:
PPE must be utilized any time that work is to be performed on or near energized electrical equipment or equipment that could become energized. Voltage testing while completing the lockout/tagout procedure (putting the equipment into an electrically safe work condition) is considered as working on energized parts per OSHA 1910.333(b). As a general work practice, it is suggested that, at the very minimum, the worker utilize voltage rated gloves with leathers, long sleeve cotton shirt, heavy-duty cotton pants, a face shield, safety glasses and hard hat, in addition to the recommendations from NFPA 70E (even though NFPA 70E requirements do not require all these items for the lower Hazard/Risk Categories).
Note 5:
To use this calculator, the available three-phase (3Ø) bolted short-circuit current must be calculated at each point in the system that is to be analyzed. In some cases, using conservatively high bolted short-circuit currents may result in lower incident energy than what is possible. This is dependent upon the time-current characteristics of the overcurrent protective devices. Calculations must be conducted with both the maximum and minimum available three-phase (3Ø) bolted short-circuit current.
Note 6:
The equations used in creating this calculator are from IEEE Standard 1584, Guide for Performing Arc Flash Hazard Calculations (23 September 2002). The parameters for this calculator are based upon an incident energy exposure of 1.2 cal/cm2 at an 18-inch working distance, 32mm (1-1/4") arc electrode spacing, 600V 3Ø ungrounded system, three phase bolted fault current in the range of 700-106,000A, and a 20 inch X 20 inch X 20 inch box open on the one side facing the front. Parameters were selected to achieve what was considered to be the worst-case results based upon the latest testing as reported in IEEE papers available at the time. For example, an arc flash inside of a box will achieve a higher incident energy than an arc flash in open air. This is because the sides of the box will focus the arc flash energy towards the opening, whereas open air will allow the energy to dissipate in all directions. Actual results from real arc flash incidents could be different for a number of reasons, including different (1) system voltage, (2) short-circuit power factor, (3) distance from the arc, (4) arc gap, (5) enclosure size, (6) fuse manufacturer, (7) fuse type, (8) orientation of the worker, (9) grounding scheme, (10) circuit breaker manufacturer, (11) circuit breaker type, (12) circuit breaker settings, and (13) circuit breaker condition.
Note 7:
Incident Energy Exposure in this calculator has been set to display a minimum value of 0.25 cal/cm2 and a maximum value of 100 cal/cm2 (with appropriate warnings). Actual incident energy values may be less than 0.25 but since it is not the intent of this calculator to encourage workers to go without PPE, the .25 cal/cm2 default is utilized whenever lower values are encountered. See Note 1 and Note 4. The maximum value of 100 cal/cm2 was set because at the time the calculator was created, no PPE is available with an ATPV greater than 100 cal/cm2. See Note 1 and Note 2.
Fuse Notes
Note F1:
The fuse information is based upon extensive tests that were conducted at various fault currents for each Bussmann series KRP-C-(amp)SP, Class L fuse, and Low-Peak LPS-RK-(amp)SP, Class RK1 fuse. No testing has been completed for KRP-C-(amp)SP fuses greater than 2000 amps, and therefore no specific current-limiting fuse equations have been developed. However, the calculation methods in IEEE 1584 may be utilized for these larger fuses. (The IEEE 1584 calculator will determine the arcing current and fuse time-current curves can be utilized to determine the time to open. The IEEE 1584 calculator will then determine the arc flash energy.) Contact Application Engineering at (636) 527-1270 for help in determining the arc flash energy let-through by fuses larger than 2000 amps.
Note F2:
To create the equations used for the fuse incident energy equations used in this calculator, worst-case values from the extensive testing were used (See Note 7 and Note 8). Actual values from these tests in many cases were found to be much lower than what is shown in the calculator. (Higher values are provided for purposes of smooth curve plots.) For example, in one test at 15.7 kA, the highest result for incident energy was 1.1 cal/cm2 but the number plotted for the chart was 2 cal/cm2.
Note F3:
The fuse incident energy values do not go below 0.25 cal/cm2 even though many actual values were below 0.25 cal/cm2. The minimum FPB of 6 inches, which results from an incident energy exposure of 0.25 cal/cm2, was chosen to keep from encouraging workers to work on energized equipment without using PPE because of a low FPB. For example, due to the tremendous energy limitation of the Low-Peak fuses, some of the tests resulted in incident energies of 0.04 cal/cm2 and a FPB of less than 2 inches. While the resulting flash may not be very large for these situations, molten metal may still be experienced, and PPE should be utilized any time that work is to be done on live electrical equipment that includes voltage testing during the lockout/tagout procedure.
Note F4:
The actual tests were conducted with Bussmann series Low-Peak LPS-RK-(amp)SP and KRP-C-(amp)SP fuses. This information can also be used for equivalent or lower amp rated LPJ-(amp)SP, JJS-(amp), and LP-CC-(amp) fuses to determine the incident energy available and flash protection boundary. This is due to the current-limiting ability of these fuses yielding lower values of let-through current as well as opening in less time than that of the LPS-RK-(amp)SP fuses. Lower let-through values together with a shorter arcing time result in a lower amount of arc flash energy.
Circuit breaker notes
Note CB1:
The source of the equations for the circuit breaker incident energy values used in this calculator are from IEEE Standard 1584, Guide for Performing Arc Flash Hazard Calculations (23 September 2002). The circuit breaker information in this standard comes from theoretical equations that are based upon how circuit breakers operate together with the arc flash equations that were developed in this standard. These arc flash equations were created so that PPE chosen as a result of the equations would be adequate for 98% of arc flash incidents. In up to 2% of incidents, incurable burns to the torso, or death, could result. This was based upon PPE with standard ATPVs of 1.2, 8, 25, 40 and 100 cal/cm2. PPE with intermediate ATPV values can be used, but at the next lower standard ATPV rating. See Note 6 and Note 7.
Note CB2:
The values obtained from the calculator for circuit breakers are for a molded case circuit breaker with a thermal magnetic trip setting from 1-400 amp, a molded case circuit breaker with an electronic trip setting from 401-600 amp, and a low voltage power circuit breaker (air-frame) with long time delay and short time delay settings from 601-2000A. As indicated in the IEEE Standard 1584, Guide for Performing Arc Flash Hazard Calculations (23 September 2002), the instantaneous trip setting was set at 10 times. To account for manufacturing tolerance on the instantaneous trip setting of plus or minus 10% at the high setting, an additional 10 percent was added to the 10 times setting.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Notes
Note PPE1:
Employees must wear and be trained in the use of appropriate protective equipment for the possible electrical hazards with which they may face. Examples of equipment could include a hard hat, face shield, flame resistant neck protection, ear protectors, Nomex™ suit, insulated rubber gloves with leather protectors, and insulated leather footwear. All protective equipment must meet the requirements as shown in the latest edition of NFPA 70E. Protective equipment, sufficient for protection against the potential electrical flash, is required for every part of the body. The selection of the required thermal rated PPE depends on the incident energy level at the point of work.
As stated previously, the common distance used for most of the low voltage incident energy measurement research and testing is at 18 inches from the arcing fault source. So what energy does a body part experience that is closer to the arc fault than 18 inches? The closer to the arcing fault, the higher the incident energy and blast hazard. This means that when the flash protection analysis results are calculated at 18 inches from the arc fault source, the incident energy and blast energy at the point of the arc fault are considerably greater. Said in another way, even if the body has sufficient PPE for an 18-inch working distance, severe injury can result for any part of the body closer than 18 inches to the source of the arc.

COMMENT: The key link between the CIA, the Karzai family and the Golden Triangle of opium production in Afghanistan seems to be strongly suggested if not clear from past admissions about their deep connections. Putting this alliance forward as a strategy to win the Afghan regional conflict seems naïve and doomed to fail.

CIA Man Is Key to U.S. Relations With Karzai
Wall Street Journal
August 24, 2010
The Obama administration has turned to the Central Intelligence Agency's station chief in Afghanistan to troubleshoot Washington's precarious relationship with President Hamid Karzai, propelling the undercover officer into a critical role normally reserved for diplomats and military chiefs.
- A d v e r t i s e m e n t
- {openx:49}
The station chief has become a pivotal behind-the-scenes power broker in Kabul, according to U.S. officials as well as current and former diplomats and military figures. In April, when Mr. Karzai lashed out against his Western partners, it was the station chief who was tapped by the White House to calm the Afghan president.
The CIA's prominent role in Afghanistan is fraught, the spy agency having clashed at times with the official diplomatic mission. That has complicated the civilian component of the U.S. military surge.
The station chief, a former Marine in his 50s, is known to some colleagues by his nickname, "Spider." The CIA didn't make him available for an interview.
Having A Supply Of Healthy Foods That Last Just Makes Sense
Besides his relationship with Mr. Karzai, he serves the more traditional role of running CIA operations in Afghanistan, a growing component of the war. The CIA is expanding its presence there by 20% to 25%, in its largest surge since Vietnam. The several hundred officers assigned to Afghanistan outnumber those in Iraq at the height of that war.

text: Today's primary election used the 1960's era mechanical lever voting machines that were hauled out of retirement. While a new electronic voting system was implemented in 2010, the short window this year between the primary and a potential runoff would not have left enough time to certify results, print millions of new ballots and re-program the new machines. Thus, the old machines were resurrected. For the general election in November, it's back to the electronic system.

Destin DeMarion of Grove City, Pa., has certainly paid his dues. The 30-year-old angler has competed in 44 Bassmaster Open tournaments since signing on to fish the Northern Opens as a co-angler in 2011. He fished the pro side of the Eastern Opens in 2019 and finished second in the AOY standings. You can definitely look forward to seeing DeMarion fishing as an Elite Series angler in 2020.
DeMarion fished his first 31 Open tournaments as a co-angler. He credits these experiences for teaching him to become the well-rounded angler he is today.
"Fishing as a co-angler is really a great way to learn," DeMarion said. "You go to lakes all over the country and learn so much from your pro partners. Everybody does something different, so you learn plenty of different ways to catch bass. You are also able to meet a lot of great people through fishing the Opens. Many of the people I've fished with are some of my best friends now."
As a tad growing up in Grove City, DeMarion lived with his mother Michele and grandparents Steve and Jean Slencak. His grandfather would take him bobber-and-worm fishing to local ponds and creeks. Smallmouth and largemouth bass inhabited the creek behind his grandfather's house.
Fishing shows on television piqued DeMarion's interest in bass fishing. They prompted him to experiment with a variety of bass lures and techniques.
"My grandfather and I were the only ones in my family who got into fishing," DeMarion said. "I would fish with whatever I saw on those shows."
Family members were always very supportive of DeMarion's fishing fanaticism. His mom, aunt and grandmother frequently dropped him off at creeks and ponds where he would cast from the bank or wade and fish for bass and other species.
While attending Grove City Area High School, DeMarion played football well enough to continue on at Gannon University in Erie, Pa. He majored in environmental science and bulked up to 235 pounds to play tight end (H-Back). He has since slimmed down to 185.
"About 75 percent of my decision to go to Gannon was that Erie overlooks Presque Isle Bay," DeMarion said. "That bay is loaded with largemouth and smallmouth bass, and I learned there just from bank and wade fishing that has helped me all over the country."
At the end of his junior year at Gannon, DeMarion joined the Bassmasters of Crawford County. He had never fished a tournament prior to joining the club and bought a 14-foot aluminum boat with a casting deck so he could compete. He was given a Folger's coffee can "to bail water with" from his good friend and club mentor Mark Hughes. He delivered pizzas and worked as a lab assistant to help pay for his fishing expenses and rent.
In DeMarion's senior year at Gannon he started a college bass team that, essentially, was for underclassmen. He fished only one college tournament at Smith Mountain Lake before graduating. He continues to mentor the team, which recently qualified for Nationals.
After graduating, DeMarion got a job with Columbia Sportswear. He bought his first fiberglass bass boat in 2014, a 2007 19-foot Skeeter.
Although he had a bass boat, DeMarion used it only for local tournaments during the first season. When he fished Bassmaster Open, FLW Costa and BFL events, he went as a co-angler.
He began fishing the Opens as a boater in 2015 thanks to an unlikely sponsorship from DuraEdge Products and president Grant McKnight.
He came close to qualifying for the Elite Series in the Northern division by finishing eighth in the AOY standings. DeMarion fished both Open Divisions as a boater in 2016 and 2017. In 2018 and 2019 he focused on the Eastern Opens.
DeMarion currently runs a marketing program for DuraEdge Products Inc. The company produces infield, mound clay and warning track soil for ball fields around the country and internationally. One facet of his job is to schmoose clients by taking them bass fishing. DeMarion also guides for bass about 50-75 days a year during the winter and spring on Florida's St. Johns River and Lake Erie in Pennsylvania.
"I've fished a lot on the St. Johns the last four years," DeMarion said. "It's a dynamic, challenging fishery. I'm excited that the first Elite tournament in 2020 takes place there."
The St. Johns Elite tournament is slated for early February. DeMarion and his wife, Meghan, are expecting their first child the same month. Both events will be life changing for DeMarion. The stress will likely test his mettle to the max.
DeMarion's sponsors include DuraEdge, CentiMark Roofing, G2 Gemini Jerseys, Power Pole, Dobyns Rods, Gamma Line, Reins Fishing, Fish Sense Lures, STORMR rain gear and Owner Hooks.

Editor's note: After this article was published, Jason Bateman tweeted that he was just "thinking out loud" when he suggested Aniston for a role in the "Arrested Development" movie.
If it were up to Jason Bateman, Jennifer Aniston would appear in the much-anticipated big-screen adaptation of a popular television show. But, the actor isn't thinking of sending the "Friends" actress back to Central Perk. Bateman said he plans to rope Aniston into the "Arrested Development" flick.
"Yeah, actually, there's a real good part for her in the 'Arrested Development' movie," Bateman told MTV News on Saturday (August 7). Aniston and Bateman have been spending a lot of time together as co-stars in both "The Switch," a rom-com about a sperm donor mix-up, and the upcoming flick, "Horrible Bosses." Even though Bateman thinks Aniston would fit right in among the delightfully absurd "Development" crew, he said the A-lister will have to prove herself to get the part.
"There's no offers on this one. She's gonna have to sing for her supper," Bateman said. "I don't know, we'll see if she's available. She's busy. She's pretty famous; I don't know if you've heard of her. She's pretty backed up. Hopefully the guy who's in charge will like her for that part because I'm going to suggest her."
Bateman didn't give up any other details about the role, but all of this casting talk means the "Arrested Development" movie is definitely a go, right? Even though he's scheming to get Aniston onboard, Bateman said several things still need to fall into place before production can get under way.
"The truth is that there's really no significant update beyond ... what [creator] Mitch Hurwitz said a couple weeks ago, which was he's got half the script written. He's gotta finish the second half and then the studio's gotta love it and the cast's gotta love it and we all have to ... have time to do it," Bateman explained. However, after years of speculation and doubts that "Development" will ever get off the ground, Bateman assured fans that the flick will hit theaters: "It's happening," he said.
Check out everything we've got on "The Switch."

So, on Friday, I met up with Tony and we started our journey down to London! We were sat with a nice couple on the way down who were amazed by our DS's haha! Once we arrived, we met up with Michael and caught the Underground and DLR to the hotel! We met up with friends as Tony booked us in, we dropped off our stuff, then eventually set off for our night out around London!
Our first stop was the Forbidden Planet store! Then afterwards we went to McDonalds for something to eat, then walked to the Namco Arcades (That was a long walk XD) It was nice to walk there though, as travelling on the underground, you don't get to see the sights of the city.
Once we got to the arcade, we started Tony's air hockey tournament, which I lost on my first round XD I did better than I expected though!
Tony ended up losing his Air Hockey Master title to Michael...twice. :D;
Anyway after some fun on other games, we decided to get a boat ride back to the hotel, rather than the underground. The boat ride beat the underground completely and I vote we go on it again in May, I really enjoyed it XD
The boat took us to the O2 arena (Millennium Dome) which was my first time seeing that up close XD After some photos, we took the underground and DLR back to the hotel, except some of us got off the DLR a stop too early for some reason, so we decided to just walk back the rest of the way XD
We got up really early on Saturday (And I'm pretty sure I got very little sleep, but I'm surprised that it didn't give me a headache) and after getting ready, we went to the ExCel and waited around~ There were already a bunch of people there when we got there too!
We were eventually moved to the queuing area and got goody bags and such :D I got a .hack//sign DVD in mine! I also got a Lost T-Shirt, but I gave that to Tony since I know how much he loves Lost and knew he'd appreciate the T-Shirt 1000 times more than I would XD
In the queue we kept trying to do mexican waves down the queue line 8D
After we were let in, we went to the cosplay desk to get our tickets for the masquerade, but were told we had to go to the main desk for them now, so we ran to there to get them. After that I ended up buying a DX Meowth UFO plush. It was £25 but I'd been wanting the smaller version of that UFO for a while, so I thought "Why not just get the bigger version :D" I also got a Tomy Chikorita~
I was actually very surprised at the amount of Pokémon stuff they had there, all recent stuff too. I was impressed with that (My purse wasn't though!)
After doing some shopping we did Tony's wandering video for Saturday, hung outside for a while (It wasn't great weather on Saturday which was a surprise!) I met chariflame while outside, very briefly, since we were meeting up for a Pokémon collectors meet the next day~
Other than that, one thing to mention was the masquerade queue. We queue really early for that since Tony records the whole thing for his Youtube channel, but on Saturday we kept getting messed around. We were told to queue at S5, then told to queue a bit further down, then told to queue at S5 again. By the time we finished moving around, we weren't even at the front anymore and we'd started queuing like two hours before the actual event :| Luckily the stewards let Tony go in ahead of us, so he could film the show, so that's good at least :3
The masquerade itself was rather good! They've kinda changed the format a bit though, to try and make it seem more "professional", which was actually a bit of a let down in some ways, as it didn't seem as fun, but the actual cosplays and acts were fantastic! My favourites of the masquerade was definitely both the Alvin and the Chipmunks act, as well as whoever cosplayed the Nina Chimera from Fullmetal Alchemist, I actually felt like crying when they came on ;o; I have the video of it since I knew I wouldn't get a good photo. Also there were some Digimon cosplayers! Angewomon and Nerfertimon! Nerfertimon even won a category in the masquerade, so that was awesome!
After the masquerade ended, we went back to the hotel and eventually ordered some food between Tony, Rachael, Marc and myself. Only our order didn't show up for OVER an hour for some reason :| Eventually Tony and a bunch of other people went off to do the Nerf war that they had planned, I decided to stay inside where it was warm and hang out in the hotel lounge, before eventually going back to the hotel room. I've seen the videos of the Nerf hunt though and it looked like it was loads of fun XD
Sunday, we got up early again, but not as early as Saturday and went down to the ExCel. There were less people waiting on this day, so we were the front of the queue. Once again we were moved to the queuing area and given goody bags (Which weren't as good on Sunday, but yaay goody bags anyway!!) and once again we tried doing mexican waves in the queue :D
The format for Sunday was pretty much the same as Saturday; Masquerade tickets, shopping and walkabout. Though I decided to split up from Tony for a short while and pick up some things I wanted while he started his wandering video. After I got what I wanted I managed to find him again XD
After that we got something to eat and went to the TCT (Team Crazy Train) meet (TCT is a collaboration Youtube channel that Tony and a number of his friends are part of!) and then after that we went to the Pokémon Collectors meet that I'd organized, which four members turned up to (Me included) two of which came with me from the TCT meet as well XD So we met up with chariflame again in her awesome Morty outfit and got our photo taken together. Then we had a very spontaneous Pokémon photoshoot with a bunch of other Pokémon cosplayers XD
After hanging outside for a short while, myself, Chari and Dawn went back into the convention so Dawn could get the Tomy Giratina plush that one seller had there. After that Chari parted from us to find her friends and so Dawn and I went to go find Tony and her sister, Kelly. We couldn't find them, so eventually I suggested we just sit outside S5 since I knew they'd be queuing for the masquerade soon.
After sitting there for a while, we saw Kelly go past and turning around Tony and the others were right behind us in the queuing area and had most likely been there all the time...
... I fail! XD
So we queued and we actually got the front of the queue this time! Much more organized! We managed to get front seats at one side buuut... the stage had these metal pillars at each side, so it made viewing the masquerade from the side a little annoying, especially for filming and photography.
I still enjoyed the show though! Very awesome :D
After everything ended, we went back to the hotel, then eventually went out to a nearby takeaway for chips and such, poor people working in the takeaway were so rushed off their feet XD We then decided to go sit outside the ExCel center to eat them. After that we went inside and walked back to the hotel through there, with lots of silly goings on 8D
Sometime after that we did some hanging out, Tony and I accidently locked ourselves out of our hotel room (Which Michael was in, but he was sleeping XD) So we had to get an extra key card for it. Then eventually we decided to do Tony's talk video in Chris' room. We made so much noise, I'm surprised no one complained XD The talk was a load of fun though!
After that (Which took about two hours! XD) Michael and I decided to go back to our room to get some sleep, while Tony decided to hang out downstairs. I didn't even realize that it was about 4am when he came back in! XD
I think I got about 5 or so hours sleep that night, probably the best night I slept!
So Monday comes and it's time to go home. Michael left first and after Tony and I had grabbed everything, we hung out in the lobby until we had to leave. So we travelled to Kings Cross Station with Chris and Paul.
Tony and I got back safely, but we almost missed our stop at Retford!! I think we were both just really tired and neither of us were sure when we'd arrive XD Then we suddenly pulled into Retford and I was like "We're here" without it really clicking at first, then we were both kinda "oh crap" as Tony grabbed my bags and went to get his own, only to realize a ton of people had put their bags on top of his! We only just made it out of the train on time XD; Opps.
Saturday Photos
Sunday Photos
Random Videos
So that was my run down of the weekend! Congrats if you read all of it!! XD
In other news, according to Amecon's site and facebook, the con isn't being held in Leicester next year. I can only hope they hold it in a place that's decently easy for me to get to. The only thing that stopped me from going to Aya this year was because of how far it was and how many damn train changes there were.
I'm going to some event meeting thing for the charity shop tomorrow. The manageress insisted I should go so... XD A bunch of others are going too, but I actually didn't know for sure if we were going or not until today when I had to ring the shop and ask .__. Apparently I should of been told last week but... wasn't. Ah well. Though this means I have to get up early @_@ Rawr. I haven't had much sleep these past two days either.
Work seems to be giving me over-time here there and everywhere again, which I guess isn't a bad thing...if you think about da monies anyway.
Hopefully my dad and I will be going shopping either tonight or tomorrow... we need food in the house, but my dad kept refusing to take me shopping until after he defrosted the freezer 8|
That's all for an update of my life XD

Get Lifted: Women who inspire us to be more in 2018
Chasing your dreams can be daunting, no matter that you wrote them down as part of your goals for the new year. New challenges and possible rejection are only few of the things that can make one anxious, but the good news is, there are others who have gone ahead of us, who have blazed trails and whose lights shine bright enough for us to follow. Here are some of the women who inspire us to be go-getters in 2018.
1. Ava Duvernay
Hers is fast becoming a household name and is synonymous with great movies, and she has tons of accolades and awards to show for all the hard work. Ava started as a journalist, then went on to start her own public relations agency, and eventually ventured into filmmaking. She is the founder of the African-American Film Festival Releasing Movement (AFFRM). Her feature films have earned her many landmark awards: First African-American woman to receive the Best Director prize at Sundance Film Festival, the second black woman to be invited to the directors' branch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and the first black female director to be nominated for a Golden Globe Award. She has been nominated for and won many other awards. A film director, producer, screenwriter, film marketer and distributor, Ava has films like Selma, 13th, and the forthcoming A Wrinkle in Time to her credit. She reminds us of the power of women to set records, break ceilings, and carve paths where none previously existed.
2. Yara Shahidi
Actress, model, and activist, Yara is an incredibly smart young woman who continues to lend her voice to noble causes. One needs only to watch her interviews, listen to her speeches, and read her statements to realize that she is one of the brightest minds of her generation. Apart from featuring in Blackish and Grownish, the 17-year-old recently got a chance to direct her own short film, which we hope to see soon. With so much achieved already, and college (Havard) on the horizon, we can't wait to see what 2018 holds for Yara.
3. Serena Williams
... Or as we like to call her, the greatest female tennis player of all time. Serena has so many titles, records, and wins that we won't even attempt to list them, but she did not start out winning. She started playing tennis professionally in 1995, and lost several times in several games, but she didn't give up. She suffered injuries and had to sit out games, but she came back more determined each time. By the year 2001, she was world number six and in 2002, she was ranked world number one for the first time. After this, she suffered more injuries and setbacks and in the year 2006 ranked as low as world number 139. She suffered depression and was harshly criticized, but that didn't deter her; she found her way back to the top. In 2017, Williams played in a tournament eight weeks pregnant and won her 23rd Grand Slam title; is there anything this woman can't do?
4. Blair Brettshneider
This 28-year old got inspired to start GirlForward, an organization that provides mentorship, education, and learning opportunities for refugee girls, after she mentored a 15-year old refugee back in 2010, when she worked at a refugee resettlement agency. GirlForward focuses on one-on-one mentoring, after-school tutoring, and a 6-week camp experience called Camp GirlForward. Their mission is to aid young girls in resettling into the United States by helping them overcome barriers, such as language, that stand in the way of their integration. They are also taught skills needed to become independent and productive members of the society. GirlForward plans to expand in the coming year and make more resources available to the mentors and the girls. With her compassion, drive, and vision, Blair inspires us to be more.
5. Emma Roberts
You may know this actor from American Horror Story and Scream Queens, but her latest venture is making people fall in love with and celebrate books. With her friend, writer and producer Karah Preiss, Emma founded Belletrist in 2017. The book club, which is online, is a space where women can "feel confident and empowered" and connect with a community of people who love similar things. And what's more, Belletrist showcases books by female authors and interactions with them. We love women with a purpose!
6. Angelina Jolie
The top actor's humanitarian efforts have earned her recognition and honours. She has adopted children from different countries and is a goodwill ambassador for UNHCR (Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees). She visits refugee camps around the world and not only donates funds to them, but also raises awareness about conditions in these camps. She was promoted to the position of Special Envoy to the UNHCR, the first person to occupy the position. Her humanitarian work includes: conservation and community development, child immigration and education, human rights and women's rights. Regardless of personal challenges and in addition to career expansion moves, Jolie continues to spread goodwill all around the world.
7. Sara Blakely
She used to sell fax machines from door to door. One day, she was preparing to attend a party and couldn't find appropriate underwear for her white pants; that was the beginning of the Spanx empire. She invested money and time in the development of her product, and she believed in herself when no one else did. She pitched the idea to many people, but only one person was willing to take a bet on her. Spanx supposedly made $4 million in profit in the first year! Today, her products are sold in more than 50 countries in the world, but that's not all. Named the youngest self-made billionaire in the world by Forbes, Sarah Blakely has committed to giving more than half of her wealth to charitable causes!
8. Oprah Winfrey
Did you know that Oprah's birth name is Orpah? Her story is one of a kind, and is inspiring in more ways than one. She overcame a difficult childhood to become one of the most popular people on the planet, and the richest self-made woman in America. She is an actor, producer, media owner, talk show host, and everything in between. This year, she became the first African-American woman to receive the Cecile B. DeMille award, an honorary Golden Globe award given for outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment. Oprah has it all, but she does not stop; she keeps breaking new grounds and lending helping hands to those in need. And that Golden Globe Award speech? It was something wonderful.
9. You
Yes, you. You are beautiful, strong, loud, and powerful enough to cause a shift. There is no mountain you cannot overcome. The world is waiting for your dream to come to fruition, for your idea to blossom. You have all that it takes to be all you can be and we just know you are destined for greatness!

"Nibbling dark chocolate can seriously improve your health – and even help you look younger," according to the Daily Mirror. The newspaper says a new study suggests that chemicals in dark chocolate (called flavanols) could help prevent wrinkles and skin cancer caused by sunlight.
There are several major limitations to the way this study was conducted, as well as to the way it was reported by newspapers. As attractive as these claims are, they are unlikely to be true. The assumption that the results of this study can be applied to the ageing of skin or skin cancer is wrong. Some newspapers have correctly pointed out that the dark chocolate studied in this research is not the type that can be bought in shops.
While dark chocolate may be tasty, there must be more rigorous research into the substances it contains if today's headlines are to be supported by science.
Where did the story come from?
The research was carried out by Dr Stefanie Williams and colleagues from London University of the Arts and European Dermatology London, a private dermatology clinic which provides both medical and cosmetic services. The study was funded by the London University of the Arts and was published in the Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, the official journal of the International Academy of Cosmetic Dermatology.
The Daily Telegraph interpreted this study as showing that dark chocolate protects against ageing, whereas the Daily Mail has questioned whether it might protect against wrinkles.
What kind of research was this?
This study was designed to be a double-blind, randomised controlled trial which tested whether chocolate consumption had a protective effect against skin damage from light exposure.
The researchers recruited 30 healthy subjects and split them into two groups of 15. Each group was given chocolate that was either high in flavanols (HF) or low in flavanols (LF). Flavanols are a class of flavonoids, which are plant-derived substances that are believed by some to have antioxidant properties. Flavanols are also found in foods such as green tea, pomegranates, goji berries and blueberries. The volunteers were asked to eat 20g of the chocolate every day for three months.
Randomised double-blind studies are the ideal study type for this sort of research, but they need to be conducted and reported correctly. The way that participants are randomly allocated to the two groups (randomisation) and the way that the allocation was kept secret from the study investigators (blinding) need to be described in detail. This was not done in this publication.
What did the research involve?
In this study, the researchers recruited 22 healthy women and eight men with an average age of 43. They selected people who were considered pale and fair skinned according to the Fitzpatrick skin classification scale, an accepted scale used to class people's complexion and tolerance of sunlight. This means that all patients in this study either burn easily (phototype II) or tan after an initial burn (phototype III). It is important to know how many of each phototype were allocated to the HF and LF groups and also how many in each group were men. This information is not stated in the publication, so it is not possible to tell how successful the researchers' randomisation process was.
The HF chocolate was manufactured in Belgium using a method that the researchers say preserves the naturally high level of flavanols found in cocoa beans. The LF chocolate was made by a more common method using higher temperatures. It is not clear if the chocolates tasted different. As this was not tested, the participants and researchers may have been aware of which type of chocolate was being eaten.
Researchers tested the skin of all participants at the start of the study and after the 12-week course of chocolate. They used a testing method called minimal UVB erythema dose (MED), in which an automated device delivers increasingly strong doses of ultra-violet light to the front of the forearms.
MED is measured according to the power of the light, the area of the light beam and how long it is applied to the skin, and is expressed as units of J/cm2 (joules per square centimetre). The researchers adjusted the strength of the MED doses for the individual skin types and recorded the level of UV light at which the skin became burned.
What were the basic results?
Of the 30 subjects recruited, 28 completed the study. After the 12 weeks, the average MED in the LF chocolate group did not change, while in the HF group it increased by more than double.
- For the people eating LF chocolate, the MED at the start was 0.124 J/cm2 and increased to 0.132 at week 12 (not statistically significant).
- For the people eating HF chocolate, the MED at the start was 0.109 J/cm2 and increased to 0.223 at week 12 (statistically significant).
How did the researchers interpret the results?
The researchers say that "our controlled, double-blind, randomized in vivo study demonstrated, for the first time to our knowledge, that regular consumption of a chocolate rich in flavanols confers substantial photoprotection and can thus be effective at protecting human skin from harmful UV effects." They say that conventional chocolate had no such effect, and that the main underlying mechanism of action is likely to be the anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activity of cocoa flavanols.
This small study has several problems that mean care should be taken when interpreting its results. In particular, this study did not look at long-term damage to the skin, ageing of skin or people's risk of skin cancer, which were all discussed in the press coverage. The actual measure assessed was skin burning in volunteers with an average age of 43.
In the researchers' reporting of their results, there was a lack of detailed description of the blinding and randomisation procedures used to allocate people to groups. This means it is unclear whether the large difference in the way that skin burned or tanned between the groups was due to differences in the participants' skin types or chocolate consumption.
Although the administration of UV light to cause the "erythema dose" may have been done objectively, it is not clear how the researchers assessing skin reaction were blinded and whether a sound method was used to prevent them knowing which chocolate group a participant was in.
While the idea that eating chocolate every day can protect the skin is appealing, this research has a number of limitations. It is sensible to reduce the risks of skin ageing and skin cancer by following current sun safety guidelines.

On vitamin D-dependent regulation of local mechanisms of non-specific defense in children with connective tissue dysplasia
Background. The influence of active vitamin D (VD) metabolites on the reaction of nonspecific defense mechanisms of mucous membranes may be of particular importance in children with connective tissue dysplasia (СТD). The purpose of the study was to establish the concentration of human â-defensin (HBD-2) and lysozyme in local secretions in children with CTD taking into account the body's VD supply. Materials and methods. We examined 127 children aged 11–17 years with phenotypic manifestations of CTD taking into account the supplementation of VD. Four groups of children were identified: group 1 — healthy children with a physiological level of 25OHD, group 2 — children with moderate and severe CTD degrees and physiological concentrations of VD (75–100 nmol/l), group 3 — children with CTD and 25OHD insufficiency (50–75 nmol/l), group 4 — children with CTD and vitamin D deficiency (VDD) (below 50 nmol/l). Determination of HBD-2 level by immunoassay and lysozyme using a dry powder of one-day Micrococcus lyzodeiticus culture in local secretions (saliva, coprofiltrate (CF)) was performed in all children. Results. When studying HBD-2 in saliva, its highest concentrations were found in children of group 1 — 4.52 ± 0.06 ng/ml. Lower levels of HBD-2 were reported in children of groups 2 and 3, and in children with CTD and DVD, the rates were lowest — 3.88 ± 0.08 ng/ml. The highest HBD-2 concentrations in CF were detected in group 1 — 81.14 ± 5.13 ng/ml. In groups of children with dysplastic manifestations, a significant difference in data (p ≤ 0.05) is observed depending on the concentration of 25OHD, with the lowest concentrations found in VDD group — 52.63 ± 3.01 ng/ml. The highest lysozyme levels in CF were in children from groups 1 (4.68 ± 0.10 mg/l) and 2 (4.41 ± 0.09 mg/l); however, the lowest concentration of lysozyme was found in children with CTD and VDD — 4.09 ± 0.08 mg/l. A direct relationship is determined between the concentrations of vitamin D and lysozyme (r = 0.65). Conclusions. The obtained results indicated vitamin D-dependent regulation of the antimicrobial peptide production in the epitheliocytes of the intestinal mucosa in connective tissue dysplasia. The severity of HBD-2 and lysozyme production disorders in children with CTD and VDD determines the appropriateness of correcting vitamin D in this category of patients.
