A diaphragmatic hernia is a birth defect. It happens in a baby during pregnancy.
In this condition, there's an opening in your baby's diaphragm. This is the muscle that separates the chest cavity from the abdominal cavity. Some of the organs that are normally found in your baby's abdomen move up into his or her chest cavity through this opening. This is a life-threatening problem.
The two most common types of diaphragmatic hernia are:
Your child's diaphragm forms between weeks 4 to 12 in pregnancy. The esophagus and the intestines also form at this time. The esophagus is the tube that connects the throat to the stomach.
In a Bochdalek hernia, your child's diaphragm may not form as it should. Or your child's intestine may get trapped in the chest cavity when the diaphragm is forming. This type of diaphragmatic hernia makes up 8 or 9 in 10 cases.
In a Morgagni hernia, the tendon that should form in the middle of the diaphragm doesn't develop as it should. This type of the condition makes up 1 in 50 cases.
In both cases, the diaphragm and digestive tract don't form as they are supposed to.
Diaphragmatic hernia is caused by many factors. It happens because of genes or because of something in the environment. This means that genes passed down from parents may play a role in this condition. Unknown environmental may also play a role.
Symptoms can occur a bit differently in each child.
The symptoms of a Bochdalek diaphragmatic hernia show up soon after your baby is born. Symptoms may include:
A baby born with a Morgagni hernia may not have any symptoms.
The symptoms of this condition may be similar to symptoms of other health problems. Make sure your child sees his or her healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
A healthcare provider may spot this condition on an ultrasound in pregnancy.
After birth, your baby's healthcare provider will do an exam. Your child may also need a chest X-ray. This will show any issues in his or her lungs, diaphragm, and intestines.
Your child may also need the following tests:
Treatment will depend on your child's symptoms, age, and general health. It will also depend on how severe the condition is.
Babies with this condition need care in a NICU. These babies cannot breathe well on their own because their lungs are not fully developed. Most babies will need to use a breathing machine (mechanical ventilator). This can help them breathe.
Some babies with severe problems need to be put on a heart/lung bypass machine (ECMO). ECMO does the job that the baby's heart and lungs should be doing. It puts oxygen in your baby's bloodstream. It also pumps blood to your baby's body. ECMO may be used temporarily. Your baby may need it until his or her condition gets better.
Once your baby is in good enough condition, he or she will need to have surgery. The goal of surgery is to fix the diaphragmatic hernia. Your baby's surgeon will move your baby's stomach, intestine, and other abdominal organs. The doctor will take them from the chest cavity and move them back to the abdominal cavity. The surgeon will also fix the hole in your baby's diaphragm.
Many babies will need to stay in the NICU after surgery. This is because your baby's lungs will still be underdeveloped. Your child will still need breathing support for a while. After your baby is done using the breathing machine, he or she may still need oxygen or medicine to help with breathing. Your child may need this for weeks, months, or even years.
In this condition, your baby's heart, lungs, and abdominal organs are all in his or her chest cavity. This doesn't give your baby's lungs enough space to form like they should. This can cause your baby's lungs to be underdeveloped. This is called pulmonary hypoplasia.
Underdeveloped lungs can make it hard for a baby to breathe right after birth. This is why a diaphragmatic hernia is a life-threatening illness.
Healthy lungs have millions of small air sacs (alveoli). These look like balloons filled with air. In pulmonary hypoplasia, the following occur:
When this happens, your baby isn't able to take in enough oxygen to stay healthy.
Your baby's intestines may also not form as they are supposed to.
Babies born with this condition can have long-term health problems. They often need regular follow-up care after they go home from the hospital.
Many babies will have long-term (chronic) lung problems. They may need oxygen and medicine to help them breathe. They may need this for weeks, months, or years.
Babies often have reflux. In this condition, acid and fluids from your baby's stomach move up into the esophagus. This can cause heartburn, vomiting, feeding problems, or lung problems. Your child's healthcare provider may give him or her medicine to help.
Some babies will have trouble growing. This is called failure to thrive. Children with serious lung problems are most likely to have growing problems. Because of their illness, they may need more calories than a normal baby to grow and get healthier. Reflux can also cause feeding problems. This can keep a baby from eating enough to grow.
Babies with this condition may also have developmental problems. They may not roll over, sit, crawl, stand, or walk at the same time as healthy babies. These children may need physical, speech, and occupational therapy. This can help children gain muscle strength and coordination.
Some babies may have hearing loss. Your child should have a hearing test before he or she leaves the hospital.
You'll work closely with your baby's healthcare team. They'll make a care plan for your baby. Ask your child's healthcare provider about your child's outlook.
Your child's healthcare team will tell you how to care for your baby before he or she leaves the hospital. Call your child's healthcare provider if your child has new symptoms or if you have questions.

When you talk about aggressive players, you have to accept that the crazy pushes that win you the game can also lose you the game. It could be bad from a theoretical sense of the game, but so long as it works, you should keep running it. That's why teams let players like k0nfig, fer or s1mple off the chain, so to speak. They could make theoretically bad plays, but because they're so good, it doesn't matter. When they do lose, you take it as an acceptable loss. They may lose rounds, but they win games.
Having said that, some moves they make are too insane, and I think at that point you have to talk to them. This came up in SK/EnVyUs today at ESL New York in a 2-v-1, fer had the bomb on Cobblestone. He decided to take an off angle for a duel with single digit HP. I like the confidence, but at that point, I don't think he should have taken that duel.

It's just awesome to have a free brush which is eco friendly during this covid situation sitting home thousand miles away. Best wishes from BANGLADESH
Hello! Your words are so pleasant to be read! We are totally thankful for such comment! They are people like you who make us go further :)
Is your Bamboo Toothbrush vegan?
Yes all of our products are vegan: no animal testing, no animal parts.
How long does the bamboo toothbrush last?
Our ecological bamboo toothbrush will last just as long as a conventional plastic toothbrush. Dentists & Hygienists recommend replacing your toothbrush every 2/3 months and brushing daily after every meal with regular flossing for healthy teeth & gums.
How does the bamboo toothbrush subscription work?
The Bam&Boo is a subscription model, this means that we deliver an eco-friendly bamboo toothbrush to your mailbox every couple of months – the customer chooses the recurrent period that she or he wants.
Which hardness of bristles do you offer in bamboo toothbrush?
We have both soft and medium bristles, you can choose which one you prefer when making your order.
Why is it more eco-friendly?
The bamboo toothbrush is made of 95% renewable sources and is 95% biodegradable. These 95% are the bamboo handle, the paper carton and the PLA bag. The remaining 5% are the bristles which are made from Nylon 6 BPA free. We have at this stage chosen to use these bristles as they are still the best way to grant a good oral care. There are 100% bio alternatives like animal hair or PLA bristles, but which according to our standards aren´t yet a good alternative. In the meantime, we keep looking for viable alternatives to cope with these remaining 5%.
Regarding the bamboo, we use moso bamboo and a certified FSC supplier which means that is sourced in a sustainable way. Regarding production we work with a certified partner with ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO18001 certifications ranging from quality management to environmental management or healthy and safety management.
Still a word on bamboo. Apart being a 100% bio material is also a pretty good one. Bamboo is the fastest growing plant on earth. It's naturally antibacterial so it doesn't need pesticides or fertilizers and it needs very little water to grow.
Regarding the shipping, we just use standard shipping to minimize environmental impact. The bamboo itself is quite light and together with packaging and with paper envelope it weights no more that 50gr. Since we don't used protection bubble plastic sometimes the toothbrush packaging arrives slightly crumpled. Then we just use the standard post offices and the "postman pat" of each neighborhood and by this way avoiding exclusive deliveries.

Should Procurement Fear or Embrace Procurement-as-a-Service?
I recently had the opportunity to interview Phillip Ideson, the founder of ProcureChange, a new Procurement-as-a-Service (PaaS) provider. You can listen to the entire interview on BMP Radio.
My first reaction to PaaS – one that I think is quite natural – is concern about what it will mean for today's procurement practitioners if it catches on. Will we be outsourced the same way we have outsourced so many other formerly in-house capabilities?
As it turns out, however, the news is better than I expected. PaaS, far from being a threat to procurement, may be one way for us to achieve the strategic status we crave.
Some responsibilities will always be owned by in house procurement.
Despite the advantages of having flexible access to additional resources, you can't outsource it all. According to Ideson, responsibility for fostering supplier relationships and carrying out change management plans has to reside in house. The degree of separation that in some cases creates an advantage for a third party provider will prevent them from being completely successful in making meaningful change and in building long term relationships.
PaaS may open the door to in house procurement in smaller companies.
I asked Ideson about the common entry point for the PaaS business case: is it procurement, finance, operations, the CEO? His response was that it depends upon the size of the organization. In companies with $1-5Bn in annual revenue, the demand tends to come from the executive team because there isn't always a strategic procurement team in place. Over time, they may come to realize how much more control they would have over their spend if the team was in house.
It all depends on how you segment procurement's responsibilities.
Several times during our conversation, Ideson made the point that subject matter experts will do better in the long run over generalists. I assumed he meant category expertise (marketing, logistics, services), but he was actually talking about process expertise: sourcing, project management, analysis. It is a scary thought, but many strategic sourcing projects are more tactical than we'd like to think. If we had a few extra hands at our disposal for the execution portions of sourcing, we could focus on strategy development and negotiation.
Whether you're ready to give PaaS a try or not, it is part of a growing trend for companies to meet their procurement needs through alternate means. At the very least, procurement practitioners need to understand what it really means, and whether there is an opportunity to leverage it to their own advantage.
Listen to my full conversation with Ideson to hear more on the above topics as well as:
- The trend behind PaaS that is also good news for procurement practitioners.
- How PaaS can lead to a shift in the power balance between buyers and suppliers.
- What you can be doing today to prepare for the 'Procurement Revolution' that is to come.

We have many partners who have embraced our methodology in SaaS (Software as a Service) for eSourcing and taking that through to PaaS (Procurement {not Platform} as a Service). As more of the strategic areas in procurement are better understood and dare I say commoditised with more intelligent tools, consultants are now able to offer shopping lists of activities that be drawn upon. Obviously this wont work for all services but line is certainly moving.
Thanks for commenting, Alun. I do think it is important to note that this is very nuanced approach that will not work for all companies like you said. However, I do think that an element of commoditization of certain activities across the procurement value chain will occur (at which point it can more easily be performed by a third party or - further down the line - be impacted by robotic process automation). This presents a compelling opportunity for companies to become specialists in specific areas of the value chain - and as those companies mature their offerings it provides the spark for the next leg of growth. It creates a virtuous (or vicious) circle, depending on your perspective!

Julian Assange, the founder of the WikiLeaks website, says he has signed a book deal to tell his life story and expressed hope it would be "one of the unifying documents of our generation".
Edinburgh-based Canongate Books said it had acquired world rights - apart from North America where the publisher will be Alfred A Knopf - to the whistleblower's autobiography.
It will be published in Britain in April.
Assange, who is on bail in Britain facing extradition proceedings to Sweden on charges of sexual assault, has overseen the release of thousands of US diplomatic cables on the WikiLeaks website.
The publishers said the 39-year-old Australian would use the book to discuss his philosophies.
"I hope this book will become one of the unifying documents of our generation," Assange said.
"In this highly personal work, I explain our global struggle to force a new relationship between the people and their governments."
Assange told The Sunday Times newspaper last month that the deals for the autobiography were worth more than 1 million pounds ($1.5 million).
He said the money would help him defend himself against the allegations of sexual assault made by two women in Sweden.
Assange denies the women's claims and says Sweden's attempts to secure his extradition are politically motivated.
"I don't want to write this book, but I have to," he told the newspaper.
"I have already spent 200,000 pounds for legal costs and I need to defend myself and to keep WikiLeaks afloat."
The release of the cables has infuriated the United States, which claims they have put diplomats' lives at risk. US officials are believed to be examining how to indict Assange for espionage.

Full disclosure: The Tim is employed by Redfin.
Yesterday over on the Redfin blog, I dug a little deeper into the conforming loan limit changes, pulling detailed sales data from all around the country by zip code to see which areas would be most affected by the change.
The result was another Google FusionTables zip code heat map. Below I have embedded the Seattle area. Note that to calculate the percent of sales that would be affected, I assumed 20% down. Click on any zip code to see the breakdown. Red represents 20% or more affected, Orange for 10% to <20%, Yellow for 5% to <10%, and Blue for <5%.
As I pointed out a couple weeks ago, for most of the Seattle area, the change is a non-event. The use of the word "hardest" in the headline is highly relative. For most of the Seattle area well under 5% of homes fall between the two limits. Over on the Eastside there are a few areas that creep up to around 10% affected, and one—South Sammamish—that hits almost 25%.
It will be interesting to see if sales in the red and orange areas on the map take any sort of hit over the next few months beyond what we would expect to see due to regular seasonality.

Center Proposal
This proposal was developed and updated by Prof. David M. Berube, Professor of Communication, College of Humanities and Social Sciences, NC State - 2014.
PCOST represents an opportunity to house on the campus of North Carolina State University a national center for the social science of science with strong associations to the University of North Carolina, North Carolina Central University, Duke University, companies in the Research Triangle, as well as partners on NC State's Centennial Campus, such as the Genetic Engineering and Society program.
PCOST generates data on issues associated with communication, public perception, and other variables that may impact public understanding of science and technology in the 21st century. In addition, one of its most important functions involves a broad commitment to make certain the social sciences and humanities serve an integral role in the commitment by NC State to support STEM interdisciplinarity in a world where issues in science, technology, and engineering are wicked (Rittle, Webber, and Churchman), sticky, messy, and arrive faster (Gleick) than ever before.
PCOST is associated with the Department of Communication, the Genetics Engineering in Society program, the Science and Technology in Society program and is housed in the College of Humanities And Social Sciences at NC State.
PCOST is an inter-departmental and inter-disciplinary project with partnerships in many different colleges at NC State and elsewhere in the state and the country. PCOST is composed of a team of academics and researchers who meet regularly, generate grant applications, direct graduate student assistantships, and co-sponsor events and speakers. PCOST functions as a platform for grant solicitation and its operating budget will be derived from multiple sources, including externally-funded grant-related sources and industrial sponsorship.
PCOST's mission is to provide opportunities for scholars to understand and improve the public communication of emerging science and technology. PCOST works with and support faculty and students in a wide arena of scholarship including but not limited to communication, media studies, computer science, design, human sciences, and other subject fields. Audiences for our work include stakeholders in science, medicine, and technology such as policy-makers, scientists, business leaders, health practitioners and non-governmental organizations involved in debates or discussions about science and technology.
While one of the defining characteristics of PCOST is the emphasis on empirical research, we welcome all activities attempting to better understand the challenges confronting the public as they try to make sense of developments in science and technology. We are committed to the design of effective interfaces with stakeholders from all areas of society.
Some of the interface between the humanities and social sciences with science and technology has been characterized as blame-ladened, historically and anthropologically descriptive, and data free. Communities in science and technology have been reluctant to embrace the humanities and social sciences as partners in scientific inquiry because too many times the communities in science and technology perceive humanists and some social scientists as overly judgmental and presumably unwilling to assist in designing solutions.
Almost by definition, engineers are solution generators and it is difficult for them, as for almost all of us, to shoulder all the sins of the past associated with the fields we represent.
Communities in science and technology need to have nag-free dialogues for the relationship to be productive. In addition, science and technology prefers qualitative and quantitative research methodologies that produce data that is more inferential than descriptive in nature. Indeed, the methodologies of science and technology are heavily biased toward data generation. Communication with communities of science and technology using the languages and geographies of their world may be the best way to interface productively with them. Our goal is to reach across this divide and bring science and engineers to the table by discussing issues in a language they are more accustomed to using themselves.
In 2008, PCOST acquired space and membership and began to seek needed external funding. PCOST has developed ties with universities in the area, companies in the Research Triangle, and residents on NC State's Centennial campus. In 2014, PCOST's membership broadened extensively with members from computer science, design, engineering, and other disciplines. In the very near future, PCOST will begin soliciting industrial affiliate sponsorship.
PCOST is currently soliciting support from the National Science Foundation and other government as well as private grant-funding organizations. This ongoing support positions PCOST as a national center at which social science research on science and technology is undertaken.

Measures of PersonalityMy research was conducted on the sixteen personality factors and the Myers-Briggs type indicator tests. I will be summarizing the circumstances under by which using both tests would be indicated, the stated reliability and validity of both instruments, the factors that users should consider, and my overall opinion of the usefulness of each test.
The Sixteen Personality Factors Questionnaire was derived by Raymond Cattell. His sixteen factors of personality came from his idea that the numerous descriptive words that were considered personality characteristics could be boiled down to fewer, more central traits. By taking participants responses (yes or no answers) to two hundred statements about behavior, Cattell could then assess the personality characteristics of each respondent. The sixteen personality factor instrument has been broadly used for more then forty years now. It is being used for a mixture of applications, including hiring and promotion recommendations, provide information to help determine occupations for which each individual is best suited, help identify students with potential academic, emotional, and social problems.
These lists of things are some of the few reasons why this instrument is being utilized today.
In an article entitled "16PF Screening for Appropriateness of Mentors," researchers invested the Big Brothers Big Sisters program to determine the validity of the 16PF as a predictor of the appropriateness of a mentor (Garner et al., 2003). Seventy-four members from the Big Brothers Big Sisters program were the subject of the sixteen personality factors assessment. The professional staffs from the Big Brother Big Sister program administered the questionnaire and were assessed with a Mentor Effectiveness Rubric plan developed for this purpose. Subjects were also rated as appropriate or inappropriate by three different raters. Significant differences were found between the appropriate and inappropriate mentors on the L scale (Vigilance) and the Q4...

Cover photography by Jill Heinerth
One of the distinctive features of the northern Yucatán Peninsula is its almost flat topography, lacking valleys or mountains, and altitudes that barely exceeds 30 meters. The soil type consists mainly of limestone, or saskab (Maya word for "white soil"), which contains calcium and magnesium carbonates that are slightly soluble in water.
Millions of years ago the Peninsula was very different from how we know it today, as it has undergone radical modifications due to climate and sea level changes on the planet. An example of these changes was during the Last Glacial Maximum at the peak of the Ice Age – about 22,000 years ago – when the sea level was 120 meters below its current level, and many of the cenotes in which we can snorkel and dive today were dry. Since then, the level of the sea has been progressively increasing more or less gradually and many caves were flooded.
The portion that we inhabit today above sea level of the Yucatan Peninsula, is only the exposed part of the carbonate platform that was steadily growing from the seabed by accumulation of millions of skeletons of different marine organisms that use calcium carbonate to form their bones, shells, spicules and other parts of the body. Upon dying, they deposit on the bottom surface to compact and harden together with fine clays over millions of years. It is important to recognize that the growth of the platform happens through the deposition of biogenic carbonate, sourcing from living organisms, and moreover, that it involves a process that necessarily happens underwater across the submerged areas.
Figure 1. The Yucatan Peninsula is the portion that we observe above sea level of the Yucatan Platform, which has a much larger area. In the Riviera Maya on the eastern coast of Quintana Roo, the change in depth is very abrupt compared to northern Yucatan and the Campeche Sound towards the Gulf of Mexico, where the shallow platform extends for several kilometers. Bathymetry: Secretaría General de Oceanografía, Secretaría de Marina, Mexico (YUCATAN '85). SRTM model of elevation: NASA (2000).
Sea level has changed position several times during different glacial periods; therefore, the growing Peninsula has not really "emerged from the sea" but has been exposed and submerged by the ocean on several occasions. However, it is recognized that every time a glacial cycle begins, the Peninsula effectively "emerges", since the water of the oceans accumulates in the form of ice at the poles of the planet and the sea level drops, exposing a greater surface and increasing the coastline extent.
Figure 2. Changes in sea level during the last 800,000 years. The present is on the right. LFI (Last Full Interglacial); LGM (Last Glacial Maximum). Data from Siddall et al. (2003).
Currently, the term cenote is used to designate any underground space filled with water that contains an opening to the outside. The Maya people, who not only had knowledge of these manifestations of the land but used them daily as a source of water and farming, called them ts'ono'ot or d'zonot, which means "water deposit". The freshwater supply in the Yucatan Peninsula has been and continues to be a serious problem for its inhabitants. Although more or less abundant rains fall during four months, the period of drought is usually severe and can last up to six months in some years. On the other hand, the calcareous geological origin causes that water is hardly conserved on the surface. For this reason, cenotes and cave systems constitute a primordial source of water for the region.

Image published in "Views of Ancient Monuments in Central America, Chiapas and Yucatan" – Frederick Catherwood (1844).
In the present, although certain practices of veneration subsist, it is clear that it's meaning is far from what it was for the ancient Maya. Nowadays, its value is mainly associated with tourism. It is known that Quintana Roo has several of the largest cave systems in the world. Recent explorations carried out by divers' teams have uncovered hundreds of kilometers of underground conduits (it was recently announced a connection between two of the most extensive flooded cave systems on Earth —Sac Actun and Dos Ojos— now forming the world's largest known flooded cave, with a length of 353 km, moving Ox Bel Ha to the second place). Moreover, there is also a large number of dry caves of considerable length. We cannot ignore their existence if we want to coexist with them.

Sneaking into a cave is an unforgettable experience. The caves tell us about geology, biochemistry, paleontology, archeology, and history. Caves motivate us to know them and to think about their future.
How were cenotes formed?
Speleogenesis is the word used in speleology and geology to describe the mechanism of formation of all kinds of caverns and caves. One of the most accepted hypotheses about the origin of caves, cavities, sinkholes, depressions and cenotes, proposes a sequence of steps in a process called karstification, which consists of the combination of at least three mechanisms: dissolution, collapse and recrystallization of the limestone.
1) In the first step, the rock is dissolved by rainwater acidified by absorption of the carbon dioxide (CO2) both from the air, as well as from the decomposition of organic matter in the soil (leaves, branches, dead animals, bacteria). When mixed with salt water increases its corrosive power. Where the deep salty and superficial layers of fresh water meet, called halocline, is where the greatest dissolution of limestone happens, forming an extensive network of conducts, caves and caverns. Cave divers can see that generally just above the halocline the caves are generally wider, a sign that the dissolution is greater at that depth and that is a continuous developing process, still happening.
Read a more detailed description of these reactions
Acidified rainwater dissolves calcium carbonate from limestone more easily and forms calcium bicarbonate, a much more soluble compound. Another type of solution, but of biological origin, is that which occurs inside some deep cenotes where specialized bacteria decompose the organic matter producing hydrogen sulfide (H2S), a powerful corrosive gas, and when dissolved and concentrated on the surface of the halocline, it is observed in the form of a "smokey cloud" that is very toxic for oxygen-breathing organisms like us. Upon contact with the surface layer, which may contain little amounts of dissolved oxygen, hydrogen sulfide is transformed into sulfuric acid (H2SO4), also a strong and corrosive acid.Figure 5. Karstification mechanisms. Source: McColl et al. (2005). Geological Survey of Canada .
2) In the second mechanism, when the sea level has dropped during glacial periods, the hydraulic head of the aquifer, the freshwater lens, also drops leaving submerged caves now full of air where, lacking support, different sections of the roof can collapse forming a sinkhole or cenote. At the end of the glacial period, the poles thawed and sea level rose and many passages and caves were flooded again.
Figure 6. Changes in sea level at the end of the Pleistocene epoch, which began 2.5 million years ago setting up the modern glacial periods. When the sea level changes, the position of the halocline also changes and the cave systems begin to form and extend. Modified by González-González et al (2008) and Blanchon & Shaw (1995).
3) Finally, the third step associated with the process of karstification is responsible for the formation of stalactites, stalagmites, columns and other speleothems, by accumulation of dissolved material sourced by the first step. Degassing is also involved in the formation of speleothems: Water filters through the rocks and enters the cave environment, very different from that of the outside, and expulsion of CO2 from water causes calcium carbonate precipitation. In the case of flooded caves, this process no longer happens. The degree of karstification depends on factors that operate with different spatial and temporal scale, which allows a great variety of shapes and decorations in the cave systems.
Figure 7. Drop of water with dissolved calcium carbonate, suspended from the central channel of a stalactite. Quintana Roo / Personal archive. EMR, 2015.
Having these mechanisms in mind, we can say that the formation of some cenotes is generated through a sequence of events: first of all, a network of passages, conduits and cave system is formed by water carving its way out to the ocean dissolving the carbonate rock. This flooded cave can form a cavern-type cenote due to partial subsidence of the roof. This process advances from above, by infiltration of the rain and from below, by underground circulation. Then, the entire roof collapses forming a cylindrical cenote (although many cylindrical cenotes can have a bottom-top hypogenic origin, keep reading below); if sediments and debris interrupt the flow, a body of stagnant water called aguada, is formed. However, scientists prefer to classify caves, sinkholes and cenotes by their mechanisms of formation -their espeleogenesis- rather than by their present morphology.
The largest dissolution occurs in the halocline zone, the contact between fresh and salt water, which rises or falls depending on the sea level. For this reason there are different levels of horizontal caves (for example, in the "Dos Pisos" system). By changing the sea level, the halocline moves and begins to dissolve the rock at a different depth, thus beginning another "level" of passages.
The halocline stratifies the cenote: it functions as a physical barrier that isolates the layer of fresh water from the deep saline waters. In the coastal sinkholes, the deep marine layer is not always really stagnant, but can circulate driven by tides and storms through channels connected to the sea (a very clear case is the discharge from Cenote Manatí to the shore in Tankah). We also observe freshwater springs called "ojos de agua" discharging fresh water to the ocean and exchanging salt water along the reef lagoon in Puerto Morelos and on the shallow water beaches south of Tulum.
Figure 8. Diagram of the Yucatan Peninsula, where the groundwater is separated into two layers of different salinity and density: the shallow freshwater lens and the deep saline intrusion that filters through the rock. The mixing zone between the two layers is called halocline. SGD: Submarine Groundwater Discharge surfaces creating freshwater springs at the adjacent coastal ocean. EMR, 2015.
Cenotes are complex aquatic systems generated by the dissolution of carbonates and other minerals in the rock, so in geology they are also called dissolution lakes, although in reality some cenotes are more similar to rivers than lakes, since they have connections to underground ramified streams that favor the circulation of water. These types of aquatic systems, where fresh and salt water coexist, are called anchialine.
The intermittent collapses along the different cave systems of the Peninsula create open windows towards the surface where we can enter and dive submerged conduits and passages. Generally the cenotes in the eastern part of Quintana Roo are formed by the collapse of cave systems formed over very long periods of time, when the depth of the halocline has remained for a long time more or less in the same position, extending horizontally. Popular cavern and cave diving destinations in the Riviera Maya such as Sistema Sac Actun (recently connected to Sistema Dos Ojos), Sistema Ponderosa, and Sistema Ox Bel Ha belong to this category.

In them, deep flowing water circulation is probably involved, favoring the dissolution of the rock from below advancing upwards. Right: Morphology of the most common cenotes found in the "Riviera Maya", the eastern coast of Quintana Roo. These cenotes are the entrance to systems of shallower caves normally presenting wide galleries and branched passages. EMR, 2015.
Another type of cenotes, more common in the center of the Peninsula, like those located at the Ring of Cenotes, are the so called pit-cenotes (although there are some pit-cenotes in Quintana Roo, for example the Blue Abyss or The Pit, which exceed 120 meters deep) where its formation mechanism surely involves deep water circulation, growing from the bottom up, a process acting from below called hypogenic.
Figure 10. Some of the cenotes of the "Ring of Cenotes" in the northwest part of the Yucatan Peninsula. Chicxulub shows the approximate location of the center of the crater created by the impact of the meteorite 66 million years ago. EMR (2018).
To achieve a sustainable use of these systems, it would be ideally to acquire a comprehensive understanding of cenotes, caves, groundwater circulation and its interaction with the rocks that form the aquifer, and the influence of oceanic tides. It is also necessary to evaluate the impact of urban areas and the possible causes of pollution of the only source of fresh water in that area, which is precisely groundwater. Research efforts on study and conservation of the underground network of conduits must occur by convergence between environmental sciences, water sciences, earth sciences, biological sciences, joining forces with local communities, efficient exploitation of resources and, of course, exploration and sustainable use by cave diving.
An award-winner picture from Nature's The best science images of the year 2017 shows a cave diver penetrating the underground aquatic systems in the eastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula. We can see dead trees resting quietly at the bottom.

The way wireless carriers handle data traffic in the future may change with a device Alcatel-Lucent announced yesterday. (Bell labs is owned by the French company). The 9900 Wireless Network Guardian measures how different kinds of traffic tax a wireless network. This may lead to new price structures for the various types of data that travel over networks in the future, or how that traffic is directed.
Currently, carriers focus on the amount of data their subscribers download and price plans accordingly. Most providers charge by the kilobyte or allow subscribers to download a certain number of gigabytes a month. Certain data-intensive applications may be banned altogether.
"These pricing plans are a reflection of the fact that they don't have an insight into what's happening on the network," said Michael Schabel, general manager at Alcatel-Lucent Ventures in Murray Hill, N.J.
That's because the strains data subscribers place on the wireless network don't match the amount of data they download, Schabel said.
This new technology will tell carriers that some types of traffic, like e-mail or instant messaging, take up to 1,000 times more air time as file downloads do.
"If I look at mobile e-mail, one megabyte takes two hours of air time," he said, because the mobile network needs to repeatedly set up and tear down the connection.
In comparison, Schabel estimates a 1-megabyte file from peer-to-peer file-sharing takes about 30 seconds to download.
Employees who connect to their company intranets via virtual private networking (VPN) consume large amounts of air time, even if they aren't sending or receiving any data. This is because VPN software maintains a "heartbeat" that keeps the connection open.
Alcatel-Lucent's new device isn't set up to connect to billing systems. It will primarily be used as a tool to help carriers figure out how to deal with data usage, and to build on existing systems that prioritize data traffic to avoid congestion.

Matt Mitovich from Fancast asked the cast some fan questions on the red carpet at Smallville's 200th episode party in Vancouver. Yay for my friends who submitted such awesome questions!
Kara (played by 'V's Laura Vandervoort) is returning to "teach" Clark something that will help him become Superman. Does Kara learn anything from Clark? – Christine S.
Indeed, she does. Tom Welling, though, had to think for just the right words to tease that lesson learned. "Clark teaches her that sometimes…. How do I word this?… that sometimes you don't need a lot of attention to get the job done." That sounds like a reference to how Kara/Supergirl becomes a bit of a celebrated media darling during her Oct. 8 visit.
Last season, the interactions between Tess and Clark tended to be pretty intense and violent. How would Cassidy Freeman describe their interactions this season? – Valerie
Through Episode 8, "They've been pretty professional," Cassidy answers. "I think Tess is still trying to prove herself to him and let him know that she's on his side – and he's hesitant to believe her, understandably. So they're still playing that cat-and-mouse game."
Read more questions and answers at Fancast HERE.
At the same event, Natalie Abrams from TVGuide.com talked to Keri Lynn Pratt, who plays Cat Grant in this Friday's episode, Shield.
She's been assigned as Clark's partner, and Keri Lynn Pratt tells TVGuide.com that her character may have a bit of a crush on Clark, adding: "She gets herself in trouble and gets herself in the middle of things often."
How will Lois feel about Cat once she returns from Africa?
"I don't think she's thrilled about it," Pratt says. "I think Cat just annoys her more than anything. I don't think she's threatening, I think she's just annoying."

Smallville "Shield Episode Preview":
I think she's pretty annoying myself. :) My Cat Grant has always been Tracey Scoggins from Lois and Clark, and Smallville's version couldn't be further from her sultry seductress, but I have liked the actress in other things, and Cat's interactions with Clark could be cute. I like the clips. It's fun to see Ollie in full-on Green Arrow mode again, and Justin's great at being Mr. Cool in the face of Cat's near hysteria. But does she seriously live at the Talon?! LOL!
ETA: More Smallville news! Eric Goldman from IGN talked to Allison Mack about what lies ahead for her on the show, and her hopes for how Chloe's story will wrap up. Read the interview at IGN HERE.

Working as an escort within a society that stigmatizes the profession, it can be especially trying to maintain high self esteem and pride in oneself. However, escorts have a lot to be proud of. All women deserve to experience the confidence gained from self satisfaction with their careers and lifestyles. Escorts are no different. In fact, escorts have a particular set of behaviors that place them apart and establishes foundations for honor in various areas throughout life. Continue reading

How to work as an escort without shame or fear of persecution
It seems to me like most escorts are very private about what they do. I can understand why, it's not like society is exactly kind to those in the sex trade or anything. I have always wondered why that is, but it remains a mystery. From my own observations, it seems like sex workers are only worthy of kindness from society if they are a victim of human trafficking, which must mean they need help of some kind. Continue reading
12 false lessons about escorts taught by the movies and TV
It's impossible to learn anything by watching fiction. The escort industry, featured in a good deal of movies or television shows with the over-dramatized, fictional characters, is not an exception. The thing is, though, that most people have no chance of knowing what and how exactly is misrepresented by the mass entertainment machine. To counter that, let's examine the following 12 myths: Continue reading
14+1 tips for escorts who have to talk to the media
In the escort industry, it isn't too common to get requests from the media for interviews or comments. It seems they would prefer to make up their own information or rely on heavily tainted insight from anti-adult industry activists. However, once in awhile, a journalist will attempt to contact escorts for a story. Continue reading
Does slut shaming have any effect on the escort industry?
Slut shaming, while nothing new, is reaching all-time highs through social networks, blogging and authorized bigotry in mainstream media. Its main purpose is to admonish women's sexual behaviors or desires that don't conform to what is perceived to be socially acceptable. Continue reading
12 ways to recover from a sex scandal
Every day public figures, respected professionals and trusted family members get caught having sex or engaging in other intimacies with someone they shouldn't be spending private time with. But, a sex scandal with an escort is much more heinous than simply boinking your secretary or wife's best friend. As shameful as it is to get caught with your pants down in a steamy affair with someone you work with or know socially, it's even more deplorable to be exposed exchanging money with a paid companion. Continue reading
10 important differences between the escort industry and human trafficking
The media and general public often tell stories about women involved in the escort industry being exploited and victimized. However, while this may be true in rare occurrences, the escort industry is populated with women who make their own choices and pursue their profession as a career choice, much like they would to be an accountant or marketing specialist. However, the human sex trafficking industry is exploitative, violent and torturous for its victims. Continue reading
10 escort marketing benefits of social media
Social media networks surround our online lives everywhere. Nearly all websites give you the option to share articles, links or photos on your favorite networks.

Sex sells: How mainstream media boost demand for escorts
From nearly naked barbecuing Hardee's commercials to blatant references to blow jobs and anal sex on CBS's Two and a Half Men, sex has definitely hit the mainstream media. Coming from the days when married couples slept in separate beds and couldn't say the word "pregnant" on television, society's definitions of what is decent and allowable have changed drastically over the last 50 years.

20 things to remember when posing for escort photos
Your pictures and online photo gallery may be the keys to success as an escort. Clients want to know ahead of time what to expect from you when they book an encounter. They may appreciate the physical description you give in your profile information, but most clients will need a visual clue to really want you. To meet clients' needs, you need a variety of photos, and good ones at that. Continue reading

In 2017 the Travel Group continued to be as popular as ever with the membership. It has always been the Groups main aim to provide a wide variety of Trips at a cost, which appeals to the widest possible audience within our membership.
- The accounts record the Income and Expenditure for each Trip. The records for each Trip have been audited and confirmed as correct.
- As is usual, this year the Trips realised more income than expenditure. This is because the Trip cost is based on forecasted take up of the Trip, whereas in practice the take up has been higher than the forecast. Great care is taken with the initial costing of each individual trips to obtain a breakeven figure or a little over to cover stationery and other expenditure. Very occasionally, of course, a trip makes a loss but this is cover by the working capital of the Travel Group.
- At the end of the 2017 the total funds held in the Travel Bank Account and the Petty Cash Account was €1,867.54 all of which together with €610.00 lent to the Galicia Trip on account of payment for flights. Therefore, €2,467.54 is the working capital of the Travel Group accumulated for this year.
- Working capital at the end of 2016 was €2,433.96. This figure rose in 2017 by approximately €34 which means the Travel Group have maintained a healthy balance against unexpected expenditure in future.
- The Travel Groups planned budget for this year includes the costs of running the Travel Group and the majority of these costs are those incurred in providing printed material for Trips. The budget also includes keeping a healthy balance in the account to ensure that we have funds in case of emergencies which may occur on any of the Trips. We have experienced several emergencies on Trips so the Travel Group is well aware of the necessity of ensuring such funds are available.
- Finally, I would like to thank Ian Brown for Auditing the Travel Group Account.

Whispers Of The Heart by KA Moll - Book Clips
Whispers Of The Heart by KA Moll
Book Clips
Welcome to Book Clips, the mini podcast where authors and narrators give you a taste of a book with a short snippet.
In this episode we hear the first chapter of the audiobook for Whispers Of The Heart by KA Moll narrated by Emily Beresford.
Days after completing her fellowship in pediatric ophthalmology, 35-year-old Aki Williams travels from her home in Los Angeles to a small town in Illinois, interviewing for a job that she doesn't want. What she does want is to meet her biological sister, Jack Camdon, a sister whom she didn't know existed until she dreamt of her. Upon their meeting, many things surprise her - that Jack's a lesbian with a wife and children, that she's a dreamer who dreams in spirit animals, and that she's a medicine woman, deeply rooted in the Ojibwe culture.
Three years ago on Sunday, 43-year-old professor of archaeology Carsyn Lyndon lost her parents and her wife in a tragic accident. Since then, she's suffered from PTSD and loneliness. She's kind-hearted and handsome but dates no one. When she meets Aki at her four-year-old godson's birthday party, they're incredibly attracted to one another, and those feelings intensify during a family camping trip - a particularly interesting development for Aki, since prior to that, she'd never considered that she might be a lesbian.
As Aki comes to terms with her sexuality, Carsyn renews a vow to not make the same mistake twice - a mistake that had devastating consequences. With seemingly no middle ground, an accident will bring them together, forcing them to re-examine their priorities. But will love, even love at first sight, be enough for them to move forward as a couple?

Author(s): Peter FitzSimons
For Australians, Kokoda is the iconic battle of World War II, yet few people know just what happened - and just what our troops achieved. In this new edition of his bestselling account of this seminal battle, Peter FitzSimons tells the Kokoda story in a gripping, moving narrative specially geared for high-school age readers. Conditions on the track were hellish - rain was constant, the terrain close to impassable, food and ammunition supplies were practically non-existent and the men constantly battled malaria and dysentery, as well as the enemy. Kokoda was a defining battle for Australia - a small force of young, ill-equipped Australians engaged a highly experienced and hitherto unstoppable Japanese force on a narrow, precarious jungle track - and defeated them. Prase for the original edition: 'an engrossing narrative, beautifully controlled by a master storyteller' The Sydney Morning Herald
an engrossing narrative, beautifully controlled by a master storyteller - Sydney Morning Herald This reads like fiction, but it is all fact - Lieutenant Allan Kanga Moore, 39th Battalion
Peter FitzSimons is well known as a journalist, TV personality and author. His bestsellers include NANCY WAKE, NED KELLY, BATAVIA, EUREKA and KOKODA. He lives in Sydney and loves talking to the media - any media, anywhere - as much as they love talking to him.

Cory Booker complains of hunger pains during food stamp challenge
Cory Booker is on day three of his food stamp challenge, which, so far, has resulted in hunger pains and a caffeine withdrawal.
The Newark, New Jersey mayor challenged a Twitter follower to live on food stamps for a week after he and the follower got into an online debate about the government's role in providing nutritious food for citizens. With only $30 in hand, Booker had to buy enough food to last him seven days, and he's been documenting the challenge online.
"Not being able to stop and drop a few dollars for a Venti coffee or Diet Mountain Dew is really raising my consciousness about the food choices I often take for granted," he wrote on his blog. "The constrained food options I have for this one short week highlight for me (with the hunger pains I felt today between small meals) what many hardworking families have to deal with week after week."
Booker, a vegetarian, posted a photo of his groceries, which included several yams, canned corn and beans, two bags of lettuce and frozen vegetables, and olive oil. He later wrote that he regretted not thinking out his food choices more thoroughly.
"In hindsight, investing more of my SNAP budget in eggs, and perhaps some coffee might have helped me later in the week. I am growing concerned about running out of food before this is over."
Booker also wrote that he hopes his challenge will "raise awareness and understanding of food insecurity; reduce the stigma of SNAP participation; elevate innovative local and national food justice initiatives and food policy; and, amplify compassion for individuals and communities in need of assistance."
Booker is not the first politician to take on such a challenge, preceded by others like Philadelphia mayor Michael Nutter, but he has gained some company during his journey. Inspired by Booker's actions, Michael Strahan, co-host on Live with Michael and Kelly!, has joined the mayor in eating on a small budget for a week.

A gun store in El Cajon was robbed by three masked suspects armed with a fake gun Friday afternoon, officials confirmed.
The robbery happened around 2:15 p.m. at Hiram's Guns & Spirits at 660 S. Magnolia Ave.
El Cajon Police said one of the suspects, armed with a replica handgun, held the store's employee at gunpoint as the two others smashed a display case with a hammer and grabbed several real handguns.
The suspects fled in a red sedan, the employee told 911 dispatchers.
A short time later, El Cajon and La Mesa police officers tried to pull over a car matching the description on Interstate 8.
The vehicle pulled off in La Mesa, and after a few quick turns, the car ran into a dead end off Fletcher Parkway. Multiple police vehicles blocked the car in when the suspects tried to turn around.
Three people -- two juveniles and one adult -- were arrested after officers searched their car and found the stolen handguns, replica gun and masks, police say.
All three face felony charges of armed robbery and conspiracy to commit armed robbery. The driver, 20-year-old Mykeon D. Menefee, was also be charged with felony evasion, among 14 counts.
Menefee was booked into the San Diego County Jail, while the two juveniles were booked into the Juvenile Detention Center.
Menefee is scheduled to appear in court on Tuesday.
No injuries were reported in the robbery, but the owner of the shop was extremely shaken up by the ordeal, according to his friend and witness, Robert Foster.
Foster told NBC 7 that he was near the gun shop when he saw the suspects running away heading down an alley. He then saw them take off in the red car.
Foster realized his friend who owns the gun shop had been robbed and quickly called 911.
When he went inside the shop, he said there was a lot of broken glass in and around the showcases and four or five firearms were missing.
Foster said he was shocked by the robbery.
"I never thought it would happen to this shop right here because it's been here for a while," he said.
The incident remains under investigation. Check back for updates on this developing story.

Obama on hiking to a glacier: 'Beats being in the office'
"How's this? Beats being in the office," President Barack Obama called out as he hiked alongside Exit Glacier in Alaska on Tuesday.
The president is making a historic three-day trip to Alaska to address the severe consequences of climate change. In particular, his hike to the glacier was an urgent call to action to save the deteriorating landscape in the state, which has already seen the physical impact of climate change.
On his second day in Alaska, Obama trekked to Exit Glacier in the Kenai Fjords National Park with photographers and members of the media to call attention to the impact of global warming.
Pres Obama says the receding glacier "is as good a signpost of Climate Change as anything." pic.twitter.com/H0IiyDjVG2
— Mark Knoller (@markknoller) September 1, 2015
Referencing the signposts alongside the dry gravel path where the glacier once stood, he told reporters, "You guys have been seeing these signs as we walk that mark where the glacier used to be... This is as good of a signpost of what we're dealing with when it comes to climate change as just about anything."
"This place has lost about a mile and a half over the last couple hundred years. The reduction in glaciers has accelerated each and every year."
"What it indicates, because of the changing patterns of winter and less snow and longer, hotter summers, is how rapidly the glacier is receding. It sends a message," he said.
Starting today, every 4th grader can now visit our public lands for free. The fact that this young person I met at Kenai Fjords National Park and kids from every background all across the country will get a pass to visit our national parks is cool, but it also speaks to something bigger —we're connecting kids with our heritage and history. -bo
What the president walked through was a landscape specific to a glacier's retreat, which occurs when the glacier melts away and becomes reduced in size, said Deborah Kurtz, the physical science program manager for Kenai Fjords National Forest.
"As the glacier retreats, it leaves behind bare ground, rock and no vegetation," she said, according to a White House pool report.
Exit Glacier, which was at its maximum size in 1815, has retreated about 1.25 miles in the past 200 years as temperatures rose. Within the last year alone, Kurtz said, the glacier has retreated 187 feet.
"Climate is the primary driver of ice loss," she said.
The president's excursion served to present a visual representation of the harmful effects of human activity on the environment, which he spoke about at a a State Department-sponsored Arctic climate change conference on Monday.
"Human activity is disrupting the climate, in many ways faster than we previously thought," he said at the GLACIER conference in Anchorage. "The science is stark. It is sharpening. It proves that this once-distant threat is now very much in the present."
"It is spectacular," the president said about the glacier during his hike. "We want to make sure that our grandkids can see this."
After the hike, President Obama continued further into Kenai, where he is filming an episode of Running Wild With Bear Grylls to test his survival skills.

A lot of people are wondering why General Motors decided to stop advertising on Facebook just three days before the social media site's widely anticipated stock offering.
After all, it doesn't look very good to potential investors when the nation's third largest advertiser says your site isn't an effective way to reach customers. Facebook has been all over Wall Street in recent weeks trying to convince investors that it is worthy of an expected $105 billion valuation.
Was it some kind of intentional sabotage?
The timing, it seems, was purely coincidental. "There was no planned release," said GM spokesman Pat Morrissey. "It's not like we planned to wait for the week of their IPO to put this out."
Rather, GM's chief marketing officer Joel Ewanick did an interview with the Wall Street Journal on Monday, and the subject of Facebook apparently came up. Morrissey would not elaborate, but according to the Journal, Ewanick told the paper GM "is definitely reassessing our advertising on Facebook, although the content is effective and important."
It was one of those unintentional news-making moments.
The minute the Journal's story hit the wires, all hell broke loose. GM scrambled to put out a statement to play down the remark, but found itself dancing on a wire:
"We regularly review our overall media spend and make adjustments as needed. This happens as a regular course of business and it's not unusual for us to move our spending around various media outlets - especially with the growth of multiple social and digital media outlets.
"In terms of Facebook specifically, while we currently do not plan to continue with advertising, we remain committed to an aggressive content strategy through all of our products and brands, as it continues to be a very effective tool for engaging with our customers."
In other words, Facebook pages are all right, but paying for advertising is a waste of money.

This is a great shirt. Like Russian dolls stacked inside each other 12 deep. Or looking into a mirror, looking into a mirror, looking into a mirror…to infinity.
With the I Love Transitive Pictograph Verbalizations T Shirt you are passing along that message with a transitive pictograph verbalization. It almost cancels itself out, like a black whole, a great vacuum in space. You have to really be on top of your game to continue to exist while wearing this shirt. You have to be bigger than the physics. The string theory that comes to play as soon as you put it on.

Your agency has made the decision to allow Spark Logix Studios to develop your client's web presence. If your group is providing mockup artwork to use, this will serve as your guide in understanding best practices for design preparation for development with Spark.
Complete & Customized Framework
Spark Logix Studios has spent years creating and is constantly refining Respondo, our WordPress Framework. This Framework is the base of our web design projects. It's been thoroughly tested, is fully responsive and infinitely expandable. If you have a design preference, the framework will modify (by design) your requested needs.
Be bold in your design requests, use high quality images and provide detailed information if you know exactly what you need. We take mobile and other devices into mind when developing every website (it's a high priority for us). Many of the guidelines here are to not only help with better user experience but also device mobility.
Default Grid System
This scaffolding takes its cues from Twitter Bootstrap. The default Bootstrap grid system utilizes 12 columns. The grid adapts to be 724px and 1170px wide depending on your viewport. Below 767px viewports, the columns become fluid and stack vertically. We've also added an additional 5 column option and the ability to add columns within columns.
Responsive Adjustments
The Respondo Framework by Spark Logix Studios supports a handful of media queries to help make your projects adaptive on different devices and screen resolutions. When creating a design please take note of the 1170px standard width (unless using a full width layout). Please take note:
Website Structure
There are a few standard elements throughout the website that you'll need to specify (these include the header, body and footer). These elements within our framework respond to devices (pre-planned) and are built in a way to allow great user experience. You can showcase exactly what you require, here you'll find a guideline. We're also open to custom modifications in order to specify exact design needs.
The header is actually comprised of a PreHeader and Header. There are several layout options we recommend. The examples listed below should assist you in knowing a few best practices for the header's layout.
PreHeader: (Menu Right – Content Left) Header: Plain Text Menu (Logo Left – Menu Right)
PreHeader: (Menu Right – Content Left) Header: Plain Text Menu (Logo Right – Menu Left)
Full Width Menu – Logo Left Aligned (no PreHeader)
Basic Button Menu (Logo Left – Menu Right)
Plain Text Menu (Logo Right – Menu Left) + Call to Action
Full Width Header Menu Right Aligned – Logo Right Aligned – eCommerce Cart in Header, Search Box Left Justified in Header
Recap: For the header don't be shy to use a combination of these layouts, whatever best suits your needed user experience. You may want the PreHeader fixed (sticks to the top of the page when the user is scrolling), or maybe you want the header fixed, the choice is yours.
Simple Mobile Layouts (Header)
These layouts are automatic, they adjust as the screen size changes (from desktop to tablet to mobile). Knowing which colors you'd like for these elements is very useful.
Mobile Header with Call to Action
Mobile Header + PreHeader
The footer is actually comprised of a PreFooter and Footer. There are several column layout options available for the PreFooter. The examples listed below should assist you in knowing a few best practices for the footer's layout.
PreFooter: 1/4 – 1/4 – 1/2 (Nearly all content requested within each column is just fine) – Footer: Details Left – Menu Right
3 Column PreFooter (no footer)
All PreFooter Layout Options
Each page will be unique, however for the best user experience we recommend sticking to a specific amount of styled pages. What we mean: if you have 2 different types of pages you would have two base designs that all those pages follow the design cues from. The information presented below will give you an idea of what we'll need to know. Each design you present will then be converted to a shortcode. A shortcode allows us (or you) to easily recreate the designs on pages (without having to know HTML or CSS).
Full Width & Parallax
Control the background image, background color, text color, link colors and hovers, full width content + control of container padding in pixels, or use of standard padding size. With the background image you can control it for fixed or scrolling (you can also control placement of repeating patterns).
Sizing of the background image can vary. We typically recommend 1700px wide (and the height will depend on the content and if it's a parallax transition when scrolling).View Parallax in Action
Slider Options
While we don't recommend using a slider in most situations (including "above the fold" on the homepage) – many studies have been conducted that show only 1% of visitors to a site click on the slider – we do think there are some instances where a slider may be of use. Please click on the link to visualize options for slider use.View Slider Options
View All Variations
There are so many variations to get you inspired on your upcoming design so we've created a Framework Demo website. Please take a look and get inspired for your next website design project.
Gathering Web Design Inspiration
Spark Logix Studios has developed a Framework that takes your designs and transforms them into a fully responsive WordPress website ready for the future. Your submitted designs WILL become shortcodes for you to easily manage the website for years to come.
When designing the site mockup, we encourage you to use these sites for inspiration:Respondo Framework Awwwards Web Design Inspiration Web Creme

Visit our Website Design Questionnaire if Spark Logix Studios is designing the website.
Important Notes
- Width of the Website is 1170px, which includes: Header, Body, Footer
- 1170px Body Width Exception for Full Width Elements (Indicated in Design Work)
- Grid System must be followed exactly (no exceptions for framework and responsive reasons)
- All Images must be 72dpi (transparent images must be .png and must not have a background color when saved)
- We prefer minimum image width to be 370px (Reason: mobile devices, the image will be very small if it's not at least 370px wide.)
- Spark Logix Studios handles all responsive elements (extra PSDs or Mockups for multiple devices are not required)
- Full Width Images may repeat if they are a seamless pattern.
- Full Width Images: recommended size: 1700px or larger (does not include repeat patterns)
- Full Width Images should be .jpg files (Reduce file size as much as you're willing – smaller file sizes load faster.)

A considerable number of people seem to be affected by extrasensory things like ghosts.
Most of us, however, are not and for better or worse, I fall into that category. I can truthfully say that in my entire life I've never felt anything strange or odd that could be considered in any way ghostly.
I recently had the opportunity to check out this inability in the house at the corner of D and Eighth streets in San Bernardino. It is the home of the Historical and Pioneer Society and I've been there a couple of times before.
Lyn Killian, director of the facility, showed us what she called "the ghostly room." She was a little hesitant on reaching around to switch on the light and we were then faced with a small room with a heavy wooden bed diagonally placed in it.
She explained that several people felt a presence there, particularly in the closet in the far corner. I went across and opened the closed door. Nothing! A slight disappointment on my part as this could have been a first for me.
The house is an interesting place and one that if you're old enough will take you back to earlier times of grandparents and other older relatives. Such places always give me a warm feeling with fond memories not really that long ago.
We paused in the kitchen before the wood-burning range and I noticed a couple of flat irons on it. My grandmother, who was Welsh, used such irons herself up until she left her house in the mid-1960s. She had never used an electric one as she didn't trust them.
She would have one iron on the gas stove heating up and the other held with a thick cloth to do the ironing. She would check the temperature by holding it to her check. I never knew her to scald anything. She would have been quite at home here although I don't think she ever used a wood burner.
There is a lot of stuff in the house which was built by a Judge Otis in 1890. He never lived in it and sold it immediately after it was finished. Even back then, there were "spec" houses and "flipping," it seems.
One room contained the music center. I'm sure today's teenagers would be fascinated to see the gramophone with its big horn atop a spinning black disc. It sits in front of an organ which was one of the favorite items in such a house back then as most people could play to some degree.
There was a tax on doors at the turn of the last century and perhaps that is the reason for pocket doors throughout. It also gives the place an openness that closed doors cause.
Outside the house there is a jail built of solid iron. It's a most unpleasant thing and hard to imagine incarcerating people inside.
According to the plaque outside, it was the first structure to be erected in the new county of San Bernardino when the Mormons left in 1858. Nice to get your priorities right!
San Bernardino has an interesting history and this is the place to check it out. They also could really use some extra volunteers to keep the place alive. Call the society to see how you can help. Who knows? You might even be working alongside "the ghostly presence!"
