Anson Dart (1797-1879)
In 1850, Anson Dart (1797-1879), of Wisconsin, was appointed as the first superintendent of Indian Affairs for the Oregon Territory. He received his orders on July 20, 1850, and arrived in Oregon in October with his secretary, P. C. Dart. His mission was to negotiate treaties between the federal government and tribal nations.
Through treaties, the federal government intended to extinguish the title to all aboriginal land claims west of the Cascades and to move the tribes to reservations east of the Cascade Range. To avoid conflict and as a condition of his appointment, Dart had all troops of the U.S. Army removed from Oregon before he arrived.
Three commissioners of Indian Affairs were appointed to help Dart: John P. Gaines (governor of the Oregon Territory), Alonzo A. Skinner, and Beverly S. Allen. The commissioners were given several charges:
1. To make treaties with the Willamette Valley tribes and to offer a maximum of ten cents an acre.
2. To offer no monetary settlements for Indian title, but instead to trade merchandise in annual installments.
3. To halt the liquor trade with Indians.
4. To purchase supplies from American merchants rather than the Hudson's Bay Company so that the Indians would ally with the Americans in the region.
5. To steer Indians into agricultural and ranching pursuits and to encourage missionaries to Christianize the Indians.
In April and May 1851, Dart and the commissioners signed five treaties with the Kalapuya and Molalla tribes of the Willamette Valley and the Cascade Range. In June, he traveled east to the Umatilla, Waiilatpu, and Lapwai areas to meet with the tribes there. Exhibiting a fairness and political acumen beyond that of many of his contemporaries, he pledged to negotiate fairly and offered to pay the tribes for their land. He also promised that the eastern tribes could choose their own teachers and that they would not be "disturbed in their religious practices"—a promise that contradicted the government's orders to bring American missionary teachers among the tribes. Nevertheless, Dart failed to reach an agreement with the tribes, and the negotiations failed. Before returning to western Oregon, he was able to establish the short-lived Umatilla Indian Agency.
From August to September, Dart negotiated thirteen treaties with the Chinook tribes on the Columbia River, the Tillamook tribes of the northern Oregon Coast, and the Rogue River tribes at Port Orford, conducting most of the negotiations without help from the commissioners. In November, a treaty was signed by the Clackamas Tribe at Oregon City, and Dart left for Washington, D.C., to deliver the treaties.
In all, Dart negotiated nineteen treaties with Oregon tribes, acquiring about six million acres for the U.S. government at a cost of about three cents per acre. The treaties created reservations for all of the tribes within their traditional homelands and provided large annual appropriations for the land ceded to the United States.
When the treaties were submitted to Congress on July 1, 1852, they were opposed by Secretary of the Interior Alexander H.H. Stuart because they failed to remove the Indians to the east and, thus, failed to fully clear the western Oregon lands for American settlers. The treaties were heard in the Senate on August 21, 1852, and then tabled forever, never to be ratified.
At the same time, conflict erupted between the Rogue River and Shasta Indians and the settlers and miners in southwestern Oregon. Dart and his commissioners spent time in the region negotiating and enforcing a peace, despite the actions of the American settlers to foment war with the Indians. Dart was told not to negotiate any more treaties except as necessary to keep the peace. He resigned his appointment in December 1852, and Joel Palmer was appointed as superintendent of Indian Affairs for the Oregon Territory.
In 1859, J.R. Orton reported in the New York Times that "during the whole of his [Dart's] superintendency, peace and quiet were maintained among all of the Indian tribes under his care, and also between them, and their white neighbors" and that "during his term, not a cent of money was expended to quell Indian difficulties." The failure of Congress to ratify Dart's treaties contributed to the beginning of increased hostilities and wars between settlers and the tribes in Oregon through the 1850s.
In 1861, President Abraham Lincoln refused to appoint Dart as superintendent of the Washington Territory, anonymously citing disparaging comments about Dart's character from leading Oregon politicians.

African honey bees in the Americas, or Africanised bees as they are known, were first introduced into Brazil in 1956. Being a tropical ecotype of Apis mellifera, it quickly replaced the less well adapted temperate-zone races of European bees that had been introduced from Europe in previous centuries. (There are no indigenous honey bee species in the Americas.) The Africanised honey bees have now spread rapidly throughout most of the tropical and subtropical areas of South and Central America and southern North America.
These bees are well adapted to the prevailing tropical conditions, and like African bees in Africa, swarm, migrate and abscond with more alacrity than temperate zone Apis mellifera. This more successful adaptation to tropical conditions means that these bees out-compete temperate-zone races of honey bees in any tropical region. The rapidity of this spread astonished everyone and all attempts to reintroduce the European bees failed. Africanised honey bees have now spread north as far as southern states of USA.
The African honey bees in the Americas have a reputation for defensiveness and this has coloured the development of beekeeping in these areas that were previously very productive honey zones. Initially, in every place colonised by African honey bees the numbers of colonies kept and the honey harvested dropped significantly. Nonetheless, over time people have learned how to manage this bee to achieve productive honey harvests. Over time, it will be possible to select for less defensive behaviour. At higher altitudes, and therefore cooler temperatures, defensive behaviour is also reduced.
Unexpectedly, the importation of African honey bees into the Americas also increased the numbers of people who could benefit from keeping bees. European races of honey bees did not thrive in the tropical conditions, and these bee colonies had to be purchased and new ones established by colony division. By contrast, African honey bees quickly filled the habitat niche, with many feral colonies that can be raided for honey. The campesinos (small farmers), who traditionally kept stingless bees, became able to start keeping honey bees, opening up new opportunities for income generation and consequently development.

text: The decorative lights that outline the top of the Crescent City Connection's steel cantilever have been turned off since the weekend. Louisiana highway officials say with the bridge tolls suspended, they can't pay the $60,000 it takes to keep the lights powered and maintained throughout the year. But if it takes tolls to do that in New Orleans, who is paying for the lights on other bridges in Louisiana that have no tolls? The bridge that carries the I-10 over the Mississippi River bridge in Baton Rouge is not a toll bridge, but it has a similar string of lights atop its structure. Jefferson Parish Councilman Chris Roberts is seeking answers. He's requested an explanation from the Department of Transportation and Development. The Crescent City Connection bridge toll issue comes up for a vote May 4.

It seems rather appropriate to have written yesterday and the brain and today about the heart. Concerns about cardiac damage from breast cancer treatment are also a fairly recent issue--again, when most women died sooner, it didn't much matter. Now, blessedly, many of us go on to live normal and long lives, so it matters a lot. Cardiac damange can happen in two general ways from breast cancer treatment: radiation to the left breast can damage the heart (they try hard to exclude the heart from the radiation field), and several drugs--including herceptin, avastin, and adriamycin--can also be damaging. Most women who receive one of these drugs never have any clinical manifestation of trouble so, even if there were some damage, it was small. This is an article from Harvard Health Publications about this. Per usual, I give you the beginning and then a link:
Protecting the heart from cancer therapy
Battling cancer can have long-term effects on the heart.
Treating cancer isn't yet a precise science. Although doctors are getting better at targeting tumors, there's still no magic bullet that homes in on cancer cells and destroys them without risking collateral damage to other parts of the body. The outward signs of off-target destruction include classic side effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy such as hair loss, nausea, and fatigue. But there can be silent inner damage, too, sometimes to the heart and arteries. These injuries can appear immediately during therapy; other times they don't surface for years.
"Important advances in our ability to fight cancer over the last few decades have translated into improved survival," says Dr. Erica L. Mayer, an oncologist at Harvard-affiliated Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. "But we are also learning that many of these lifesaving therapies have the potential to affect the heart and other parts of the body."
Once relegated to the back burner, the late effects of cancer care are gradually getting more attention. One turning point was the publication in 2005 of From Cancer Patient to Cancer Survivor: Lost in Transition. This influential report from the Institute of Medicine put a spotlight on the disjointed care often received by the 12 million-plus cancer survivors in the United States after their cancer treatment has ended.
The report has led to greater awareness by cancer specialists of the long-term physical, medical, and psychological needs of cancer survivors. One important item that's still in development: evidence-based strategies for the best way to monitor cancer survivors for late effects of cancer therapy.

Three from PortoVino and more…
I'll be the first to admit that I have not been posting here at blogs.gangofpour as much as I have in the past or should be at present, but I'd like to think I have a good excuse for not doing so. I have been devoting a LOT of time to singing, playing guitar and writing songs, and am in the process of recording a CD of new and old originals. More on all of this in a future blog entry, but I should add that just because I've been so single-mindedly focused on music, that doesn't mean that we haven't been tasting some good vino lately.
Some weeks back, our buddy Brendan DeCoursy, from Signature Selections Wine Company in Auburn Hills, MI, dropped off some things from an importer that's new to us, PortoVino, out of Buffalo, NY., which describes their wares as "groovy Italian wines." All of their small production, artisan producers are sustainable, and over half are certified organic or biodynamic. The focus is on food friendly, affordable wines, and based on the three we tried, they succeed admirably in that regard.
Brandon also brought along a Spanish rosé from José Pastor Selections that he'd been tasting with clients that day, so we started off with that. (A rosé from José; I like that. Maybe I can work it into a song…)
2011 Bielsa Garnacha Rosado Campo de Borja, 13.5% alc., $12.99: Rich strawberry pink color; rich, ripe and fruit forward, with nice strawberry and raspberry flavors and aromas underscored with subtle minerality. More than medium bodied, with good acids and nice length. This has some boldness to it, and is rather different from many of the bone dry, sometimes downright austere roses from Provence and Tavel. I'm open to the varieties of the rose experience, if done well, and for me, this one is done well.
José Pastor Selections Imported by Vinos & Gourmet, Inc., Richmond, VA
NV Venturini Baldini Lambrusco dell'Emilia IGT Emilia-Romagna, 11% alc., $13.99: Deep, dark color, with aromatics like a bowl of cherries; turns towards the black cherry spectrum on the palate, rich, ripe and fruit forward, but not really sweet. Medium-medium full bodied and frizzante, with good acids and length. Give it a chill and suck it on down. Not only will it not hurt you, it tastes downright good. A field blend of the various Lambrusco sub-varieties (Marani, Montericco, Maestri, Salamino,Grasparossa).
2009 Marabino Nero d'Avola di Noto DOC, 13.5% alc., $19.99: Ruby garnet color; a bit of the barnyard on the nose, carrying over onto the palate with earthy black plums, cherries and berries. Full bodied, with good structure and length. I like the earthiness that this offers, when too many others of this variety are just all fruit all the time. Good stuff.
2010 Fuso21 Barbera Colli Tortonesi, 13% alc., $13.99: Clean, dark color; very attractive aromas of ripe black cherry, blackberry and a lovely floral note. Flavors echo and expand so nicely on the palate, and while it's decidedly new world in style, it's delicious. Full bodied, with enough structure for at least a few years in the cellar, but I might have a hard time keeping hands off now, it's so tasty.

The Official Home of University of Illinois Athletics
Senior Crystal Smith competed in the team lineup for the first time this season.
March 11, 2013
Mesa, Ariz. – The University of Illinois women's golf team had a disappointing outing this past weekend, finishing in 16th place out of 16 teams at the Clover Cup, hosted by Notre Dame at the Longbow Golf Club in Mesa, Ariz. The Illini led by one stroke over Cincinnati after the first round, but the Bearcats improved drastically over the final two rounds, as Illinois dropped to 16th with a final score of 321-321-324=966 at the par-72, 6,209-yard course.
"Putting was not very solid across the board," said Head Coach Renee Slone, "and confidence levels for the team are probably at an all-time low. It seems like they are in a very fragile state at the moment, in that it doesn't take much for that confidence to get rocked. We've got to just simply be a mentally tougher team."
Redshirt sophomore Samantha Postillion pushed past teammate Crystal Smith in the final round to lead the team with a tournament total of 236 (+20). Smith, who led the team at the Westbrook Spring Invite to earn a spot in the team lineup for the first time this year, finished one stroke behind Postillion in a tie for 68th.
"Crystal is one who has been fairly confident in herself, hence the results she's been getting," said Slone. "I think she seems to be in a really good place mentally, really feels extremely well-prepared, and has more confidence in herself, probably, than she ever has in her four years here, and I think the results speak to that. Obviously, there are some things that we are still striving to improve upon, but that's where it starts."
Sophomore Pimploy Thirati finished 85th overall with a 245 (+29), followed by Jacqueline Calamaro and Michelle Mayer, who tied for 92nd with a 251 (+35).
Oklahoma, ranked third nationally by GolfWeek, won the Clover Cup with a team score of 862 (-2), posting a 281 (-7) in the first round of the tournament. No. 33 SMU narrowly held on to the second-place position with an 880 (+16) and No. 13 Texas Tech finished two strokes behind in third.
Tulsa's Kristina Merkle shot a six-under 66 in the third round to jump up nine spots and take home the tournament championship with a 72-72-66=210 (-6). Oklahoma's Chirapat Jao-Javanil came in second, shooting a 212 (-4), and Emily Collins (Oklahoma) and Jenny Haglund (SMU) tied for third with a 214 (-2).
The Illini have a quick turnaround, returning to the links on Feb. 15-17 for the Insperity Lady Jaguar in Augusta, Ga.
Finish | Name | Rd1 | Rd2 | Rd3 | Total | Par |

Statement from Dr. Howard Koh, Assistant Secretary for Health, on Quality in the Public Health System
A fundamental function of the public health system is to safeguard and improve the quality of health in America. Compared to the medical care system which focuses primarily on delivery of care to individuals, public health focuses more on population-based activities. There must be synergy between the two sectors in order to improve the health and quality of care for all Americans.
Public health can advance national quality improvement efforts. The landmark 1998 report Quality First: Better Health Care for All Americans(Quality First), issued by the President's Advisory Committee on Consumer Protection and Quality in the Healthcare Industry, noted the need for quality measurement for public health initiatives and policymaking.1 Also, in Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century, the Institute of Medicine (IOM) recognized the relevance of public health to system-wide improvements in health.2 However, while that 2001 IOM Committee issued a framework for quality improvement in patient care, they acknowledged that identifying a role for public health in quality improvement was outside of the scope of that work.2 Recognizing this gap, in 2008 the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services developed and widely disseminated a framework for quality in the public health system through the Public Health System, Finance, and Quality Program.3 The framework and aims for public health quality improvement were based on recommendations included in the 1998 Quality First report.
The Assistant Secretary for Health (ASH) serves as the principal advisor to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services for the nation's public health system. Resting within the responsibilities of the ASH are goals for protecting, promoting, and advancing the health and safety of the nation. Fulfilling these goals requires embracing public health's role in national quality improvement initiatives.
To build capacity in public health to improve quality, we can employ methods that could:
- Facilitate partnerships between public and private entities focused on quality to stimulate and promote the engagement of national leaders;
- Promote dialogue between public health and health care organizations on improving quality as a means of developing unifying strategies to build synergy and reduce fragmentation of quality improvement efforts; and
- Enhance the knowledge of the public health workforce to ensure that concepts of quality and quality improvement are mainstreamed into public health practice.
As Assistant Secretary for Health, I fully acknowledge and embrace the necessity for advancing quality concepts in the public health system. This Statement serves as evidence and a measure of that commitment. A strategic partnership has been established with the American Public Health Association (APHA) to ensure that the public health leadership is actively engaged in quality improvement. In this role, APHA will promote and provide venues for dialogue between key public health and national quality organizations. An anticipated outcome from this dialogue should be establishing methods for identifying and clearly articulating public health quality improvement priorities. Additional strategic alliances with other entities will be established over time. Providing the public health workforce with tools to institutionalize quality concepts can then help us achieve desired quality improvement outcomes. Publications for wide dissemination that describe the national framework for quality in the public health system are being developed to promote these concepts in practice and academia. Participants from across all sectors of health and public health will share in the development of these publications. The Public Health System, Finance, and Quality Program will continue to provide leadership and direction over these activities.
Public health is on the front line of protecting and promoting the quality of health in the nation. Public health's role in quality improvement is essential to achieving those goals. I am honored to have the Office of the ASH assume a leadership position in supporting quality improvement initiatives that advance successful fulfillment of this role.

WHITBY -- An investigation has begun after an early morning fire damaged an abandoned house in Whitby Thursday.
The fire, at 3545 Garrard Rd., is being investigated by police and the Ontario Fire Marshal, Durham police Sergeant Nancy van Rooy confirmed.
She said, however, "it's a bit early to speculate" as to whether or not the fire might be deemed suspicious.
Police responded to the fire call at 3:55 a.m. and arrived to find the structure engulfed by flames, with Whitby firefighters already on the scene, Sgt. van Rooy said.
The building, just south of Taunton Road, is abandoned. Sgt. van Rooy said.
"It's been empty for a very long time," she said.
The investigation continues.

Chemical Component DictionaryThe Chemical Component Dictionarya is as an external reference file describing all residue and small molecule components found in PDB entries. This dictionary contains detailed chemical descriptions for standard and modified amino acids/nucleotides, small molecule ligands, and solvent molecules. Each chemical definition includes descriptions of chemical properties such as stereochemical assignments, chemical descriptors (SMILES & InChI), systematic chemical names, and idealized coordinates (generated using Molecular Networks' Corina, and if there are issues, OpenEye's OMEGA). The dictionary is organized by the 3-character alphanumeric code that PDB assigns to each chemical component. New chemical component definitions appear in the dictionary as the entries in which they are observed are released in the PDB archive; consequently, the dictionary is updated with each weekly PDB release. The dictionary is regularly reviewed and remediated. Any obsoleted components remain in the dictionary marked with status OBS. Users can search and browse the Chemical Component Dictionary using resources such as PDBeChem and Ligand Expo. The entire Chemical Component Dictionary and the companion dictionary of amino acid protonation variants can be downloaded from the wwPDB ftp site:
Chemical Component Dictionary: mmCIF (plain text) |
mmCIF (gz)
Please note that these files are large, and may take awhile to download. The dictionary of protonation variants provides additional nomenclature information for the protonation states of standard amino acids in N-terminal, C-terminal, and free forms, and includes common side chain protonation states. The identifiers used in this extension dictionary longer identifier codes to distinguish the various protonation forms of the standard amino acids. For instance, an identifier code ARG_LFOH_DHH12 is used to identify the arginine variant with a neutral peptide unit and side chain protonated at NH1. The extended identifier codes are not compatible with the 3-character format restrictions for the residue identifier in the PDB format, so these codes do not currently appear in PDB files. In PDB entries, protonated residues are identified by the 3-character code of their parent amino acid; however, the atom nomenclature for protonated forms will be taken from the variant dictionary definitions. Prior to development of the Chemical Component Dictionary, PDB chemical information was solely in the form of connection tables. This older representation, called the PDB HET dictionary, is still made available on the wwPDB ftp site (download). PDB HET format dictionary entries for individual components are available at ftp://ftp.wwpdb.org/pub/pdb/data/monomers/. aThe Chemical Component Dictionary was formerly called the HET Group Dictionary.Descriptions of chemical components in mmCIF and PDB formats are provided below. PDBeChem1 offers a wide range of possibilities for searching and exploring the dictionary:
Users can also search by references in macromolecules, molecule classification, and atom energy type. A generic browsing interface lets users follow links that are available from every record in order to navigate through the relationships of the dictionary. For example, a relationship link can be followed to view the atoms of a ligand and then for a particular atom, its bonds and energy types and so on.
For more information, please see
Ligand Expo, formerly the Ligand Depot2, can be used to navigate the Chemical Component Dictionary. It integrates databases, services, tools and methods related to small molecules, and allows users to:
Ligand Expo provides information in Chemical Component Dictionary and individual chemical components within PDB entries for download in a variety of formats and packaging at http://ligand-expo.rcsb.org/ld-download.html. Chemical Components in mmCIF Format The mmCIF format combines collections of related data items (tokens) into categories. A category is essentially a table in which each token represents a row in the table. The question mark (?) is used to mark an item value as missing. A period (.) may be used to identify that there is no appropriate value for the item or that a value has been intentionally omitted. Vectors and tables of data may be encoded in mmCIF using a loop_ directive. To build a table, the data item names corresponding to the table columns are preceded by the loop_ directive, and followed by the corresponding rows of data. A detailed description of the mmCIF syntax and logic structure is available. In the Chemical Component Dictionary, each chemical component is defined by sets of tokens in the five categories:
In a PDB entry, the mmCIF category chem_comp is used to describe the chemical components in the file. The chemical name is described in chem_comp.name, chemical formula in chem_comp.formula, and molecular weight in chem_comp.formula_weight. For example, the mmCIF file for PDB entry 1t5d contains the ligand 4-Chloro-benzoic Acid (ID code: 174): Further information describing this residue (174) is then provided in the Chemical Component Dictionary (See the Example). Chemical Components in PDB Format The heterogen section of a PDB coordinate file describes ligands in the entry. The chemical name of the ligand is given in the HETNAM record and the chemical formula is given in the FORMUL record. Any synonyms for the chemical name are given in the HETSYN records. For example, the PDB format file for PDB entry 1t5d contains the ligand 4-Chloro-benzoic Acid (ID code: 174): Further information describing this residue (174) is then provided in the Chemical Component Dictionary (See the Example). Please refer to the PDB File Format Guide for further description.

Joint Health Kit
Back to Arthritis overview
FELINE ARTHRITIS - Natural remedies and pain support
Conventional treatment for arthritis usually includes nonsteriodal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as aspirin or Rimadyl. The benefit of these NSAIDs is that they often reduce pain quickly, but they also come with potential adverse side effects including stomach ulcers, stomach upset and even death. In addition they do nothing to repair cartilage or slow the progress of the disease.
Natural supplements offer an alternative that many cat lovers find more appropriate and robust. These nutritional supplements have no serious side effects and they provide the joints with the necessary building blocks to revitalize cartilage. This means they not only help in reducing the pain of sore, stiff joints - they also help rehabilitate and slow the process of deterioration.
Step 1: Essential Supplements - ease pain and support mobility
Nupro Joint Support
- All of the great stuff in the original Nupro with the added benefit of key ingredients shown to support joint health and rejuvenation. Glucosamine complex to protect and regenerate cartilage as well as reduce joint pain and inflammation. MSM, also an anti-inflammatory, stimulates the growth and repair of cartilage, tendons and other connective tissue. Ester C boosts the effectiveness of Glucosamine and MSM while providing extra support to the immune system.
Vitamin C deficiency has been linked to hip dysplasia and other arthritis-like conditions.
Your cat can further benefit from the long chain fatty acids, specifically n-3s, found in the highest concentrations in fish oils. Fish oil is a great, all-round supplement for any cat, but it has significant importance to joint health. n-3 fatty acids reduce the expression of cartilage degrading enzymes while suppressing the production of inflammatory mediators, providing protection to the cartilage.
Nutri-Vet Wild Salmon Oil
comes from 100% wild salmon, not farmed sources. Wild salmon has higher levels of beneficial omega-3 and lower levels of saturated fats. In addition, farmed salmon have been found to contain significantly higher concentrations of PCBs, dioxin and other cancer causing contaminants than salmon caught in the wild.

Step 2: Diet - what your cat eats can make a big difference
A healthy lifestyle that includes proper exercise and diet can help prevent a host of diseases like diabetes, cancer and arthritis. For cats suffering from the pain of arthritis, weight management takes on a new importance.
The more weight your cat's joints have to bear the more pain they will experience. In addition to the pain, a greater load on the joints will contribute to increased damage and deterioration of the cartridge and eventually the joints themselves. It is tempting to over feed our feline friends and indulge them with treats and table scraps, but remember the consequences.
Besides the
of food we feed our cats,
we feed them is also important. Most experts recommend an all natural, high quality diet that contains some raw foods.
It is important to note that ingredients like wheat, corn and soy (present in large amounts in dry cat food) tend to increase inflammation and aggravate arthritis.
Step 3: Exercise - even arthritic cats need daily exercise
Adequate exercise is important for your cat in all stages of life. It promotes good health and reduces behavioral issues. For a cat with arthritis, exercise should continue to be a part of an overall lifestyle that supports improved health and longevity.
As it relates to arthritis, exercise is helpful in the following ways:
Improves metabolism and burns excess calories, helping maintain a proper weight.
Helps stabilize joints by strengthening surrounding muscles.
Improves physical functioning and stamina while enhancing emotional well-being.
Improves circulation.
When your cat doesn't feel well, getting enough exercise might be a challenge and will probably require more interaction from you. Remember to take it easy at first. Be creative, be patient and be persistent.
A healthy cat needs about 20 minutes of exercise once or twice per day (more for active breeds). Aim for this goal, but work up to it slowly. Over exercising can lead to undue pain and discomfort. In the beginning, you may want to try several short play times throughout the day to gauge how much exercise is appropriate, then work up from there.
Everything you need is in the Essential Joint Support Kit - vital supplements, information on diet and nutrition along with beneficial exercises.

Magnetic reluctance
The Reluctance block models a magnetic reluctance, that is, a component that resists flux flow. The ratio of the magnetomotive force (mmf) across the component to the resulting flux that flows through the component is constant, and the ratio value is defined as the reluctance. Reluctance depends on the geometry of the section being modeled.
The block is based on the following equations:
Magnetomotive force (mmf) across the component | |
Φ | Flux through the component |
Reluctance | |
g | Thickness of the section being modeled, or length of air gap |
μ0 | Permeability constant |
μr | Relative permeability of the material |
A | Cross-sectional area of the section being modeled |
Connections N and S are magnetic conserving ports. The mmf across the reluctance is given by , and the sign of the flux is positive when flowing through the device from N to S.
Thickness of the section being modeled, or length of air gap. The default value is 0.001 m.
Area of the section being modeled. The default value is 0.01 m^2.
Relative permeability of the section material. The default value is 1.
Use the Variables tab to set the priority and initial target values for the block variables prior to simulation. For more information, see Set Priority and Initial Target for Block Variables.

Good food made FRESH – Found this place while searching for healthier options to a fast food joint. It is awesome!
The food is nicely spiced and very flavorful. We enjoyed a Greek salad and lamb gyros, both excellent.
These guys make everything fresh in house. They even make their own yogurt. Nothing frozen here... I love it.
(deserts are made by two Greek women off-site, I'm going to try them out next time).
Fresh, Fresh, Fresh. Lots of healthy, flavorful options here!

"The only reason we watched [Game of Thrones] was for Sean Bean," groused EW reader Steve. "Way to go HBO, time to switch to Showtime."That's a pretty common reaction among some viewers after watching Sunday's episode of HBO's fantasy series, especially among those who didn't read the Thrones novel by George R. R. Martin. With the show's ninth hour taking the unprecedented step of killing off a drama series' main character (and its best known actor) in the first season, some fans are threatening to never watch the program again."Most of you who think this was some sort of brilliant move or something don't understand the difference between a book audience and a TV audience," argued EW reader Tamcamry. "TV audiences need to invest in characters. Most of the other characters I don't care much about. While the show will probably still appeal to the 'wow' crowd, it's mass appeal just got beheaded."
