The changes in the marine domains of India and Australia are affecting the circulation patterns, distribution and abundance of marine species in the two countries, said Stewart Frusher, Associate Professor, Institute of Marine and Antarctic Studies, University of Tasmania, Australia.
Speaking at the inaugural session of the international workshop on preparing for climate change on marine systems in India and Australia here on Tuesday, Mr. Frusher said that such changes were also impacting the marine industries and associated communities.
Enhancing the marine production systems to meet the needs of a growing global population, mitigating the carbon footprint and sequestering carbon are the challenges before the countries. To tackle issues as broad and important as climate change, one needs to understand both the biological and physical systems.
The gradual changes in ocean currents, rising sea levels and acidification of the oceans and increased frequency of extreme events such as cyclones, storms and rainfall are also matters of concern.
The response of marine resources and biodiversity to these changes is also important, he said.
In his address, Michael Carter, the Consul Commercial and Trade Commissioner of Australia at Chennai, said that Australia's approach to climate change was based on reduction of green house gas emissions, adapting to climate change and helping to shape a global solution to the issue.
Australia is moving to a cleaner economy which is sustainable, competitive and able to withstand the challenges of climate change.
The country is committed to reduce its emissions by 60 per cent by 2050, he said.
G. Syda Rao, director of the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, Kochi, presided. E. Vivekanandan, scientist-in-charge, of the Chennai research centre of the institute welcomed the gathering and T.V. Sathianadan, Head-in-Charge FRA division of the institute proposed a vote of thanks.
The workshop proposes to use "an objective qualitative modelling approach to determine the vulnerability of key commercial species to climate change."Collaborative research projects covering oceanography, biology, social science, economics and governance disciplines as well as inter-disciplinary approaches will also be developed.

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
I went to a state college in Georgia (what I could afford), where 1/5 instructors taught students how to kern properly, a Typophile himself. That being said, I didn't have him as an instructor and managed to go through college without anyone mentioning the correct way to do it.
I've looked at books such as Thinking with Type and A Type Primer but I find myself in situations where things still don't look right and I'm confused where I went wrong.
Am I missing something?
First off, it's dangerous to offer the job of critic to anyone: unfortunately, many people will take the ball and run, and find problems even where they don't exist. There is no "correct" way to kern, other than being consistent; and the less kerning, the better.
You can study the subject in InDesign, by entering "0" in the kerning field of the Character palette.
This removes all kerning, so compare it with "Metrics", which is the kerning that has been built into the font by the type designer.
Oldnik— I do agree, however, when I hear from multiple, skilled people that I'm missing areas that should be kerned, I feel better to ask for some general opinions than none (or my own for that matter!) The idea of less kerning makes a lot of sense.
Thanks Nick. I'll work with "Optical" and see what I can figure out. Studying is exactly what I need right now.
Read the sections about spacing and kerning in Tracy's Letters of Credit. But honestly, I think the best way to figure out is to kern an entire family of fonts.
> Thanks Nick. I'll work with "Optical" and see what I can figure out. Studying is exactly what I need right now.
Beware! — comparing and learning from "Optical" will teach you what an algorithm thinks it knows, not what an experienced typographer or type designer knows.
Adobe's "Optical" spacing is a misnomer. A designer sees that and thinks "Yes, of course, now why wouldn't I want this setting to be optically correct?"
But it is not. This 'feature' completely overrides the fitting and spacing that the type designer has incorporated into a font and supplants it with it's own assessment. It is a computer algorithm, and it is frequently way off base, IMNSHO.
I have ranted about this elsewhere before.
I have a few suggestions.
When you find yourself frustrated, take a deep breath and step back. Sometimes you'll make mistakes that other people catch - that happens to all of us and is just part of being a human. Don't beat yourself up over it. And you definitely don't want to overthink your kerning, or you'll stop seeing the forest for the trees.
That might be a good metaphor for kerning... you want to focus on the forest, not the trees. Focus on the piece you are kerning as a whole, and try to find a good rhythm of the spaces within it. Try to think less of the letters as letters, but as shapes. If one of those trees is too far away from the other trees, just get it as close as you can without breaking the rhythm of the rest of the forest. If a particular pair is really bothering you, put it in a long string of Hs and Os so you can get a feel for the rhythm without getting caught up in reading the words. But then check the pair back in the word (and then the entire piece) it's in to make sure you haven't kerned the pair too tightly. Don't worry about measuring. It's a visual process, not a mathematical one.
Hard to describe without images... but I think the suggestions here are good so far.
I hope this helps.
May I suggest you pick up a copy of Type Rules! by Ilene Strizver. Arguably the best "How-To" book on professional typography available today.
There are really several ways to approach kerning. Different for small text or for headlines, Serif or Sans fonts, Regular or Italics. But from experience, what worked for me as essential every time is prior to working on kerning, working the hardest on the actual basic spacing of each character. Trying out the most likely spacing that will work in most cases for that particular font. Indeed flip it, make negative space more visible and comparable, measure, even tweak the design, print out, look from a distance, stand on your hands...
And then when you think the spacing is right, only then use kerning to compensate the shortcomings of each font.
You see, once you study and measure to adjust the spacing, you have a much much clearer *feel* of the right kerning needed. And most likely you'll need less kerning pairs than you thought.
Good luck,
Beware! — comparing and learning from "Optical" will teach you what an algorithm thinks it knows, not what an experienced typographer or type designer knows.
I didn't suggest "working with optical", but working without it.
However, that may be the wrong advice for display setting.
Most fonts are kerned for "zero" tracking at text size.
The game changes if you're doing a headline with close letterspacing (negative tracking).
For the tight-but-not-touching style of setting a sans like Helvetica Bold, "Optical" is better than "Metrics".
"Manual" is best, though.
"Manual" is best, though.
Says who? You?
IMO they all leave much to be desired.
IMO they all leave much to be desired
A demonstration of your superior powers and abilities would be in order...
Says who? You?
I do.
And so do you, although your taste in "manual" may differ from mine.
I teach my students to scan the horizontal middle of the line and then optically space for even negative space.
A demonstration of your superior powers and abilities would be in order...
That would require me owning a copy of Helvetica. I trashed my font library years ago. The only fonts I have are the ones I make and a few system fonts. It may be screen rendering, but the different distances between the He and ic combinations in Nick's manual example make me uncomfortable. Also that el combo is a bit off. But on a more global level I think the entire approach is misguided since that the lv and ti combinations are the keys to the whole word and all of the remaining kern pairs are too tight.
IMHO you should start with some squarish looking font first (like this one http://typophile.com/node/71916) and try to understand spacing first and after that go on kerning.
Everyone have doubts, just someone won't admit that, but everyone makes a mistakes in this.
As someone said... best process of learning is by making mistakes.
So, just relax and start doing it like you have all the time in the world.
The only fonts I have are the ones I make and a few system fonts.
That would include "Helvetica.dfont"
If you work on a Mac...
Well whaddaya know!
I guess that's what that font menu is for huh?
Manual does look best in this comparison, but you'd be able to achieve that by using Metrics and a bit of positive Tracking (I am talking InDesign here) — which would imply that the basic kerning of Helvetica aint very good. Another discussion altogether, I know…
And on another note: the smaller the type, the looser the kerning; so what size was used for the sample? 100% Reproduction here or?
@tourdeforce: Setting your kerning values you always start with the most problematic pair in your line of type. And after fixing that you continue with the rest. And that is completely irrespective of the kind of type you want to kern (with the exception of connecting scripts, of course)… In a way a lot of display typefaces are very easy to kern, while sans's are probably the most difficult.
The whole purpose of kerning is to achieve 'even color' — the appearance of a pleasant tone on the page, where tracts of type stand out from other bits, because of the intent of the designer, and not because of the faults of the programmers at Adobe or the defects of a type designer (need I mention double spaces after a sentence?).
OP: back in the day when I used to spec, check, and correct/respace many, many headlines, Nick's "Manual" version would be a great "tight no touch" setting from the best NYC jobbing typographers. But James' comment is also valid, since the principle of optical spacing is balance above all else. Yet OTOH, much of the charm of setting a sans ultra tight is the uneven, frankly staccato negative spaces that result. This is exactly what is abhorred by those that encourage touching and overlapping letters at display sizes as a far less heinous crime than unbalanced counters.
I've never seen 100% agreement on "perfect" kerning or display spacing. Check out Michael Harvey's Letterform Design, and Geoffrey Dowding's Finer Points in the Spacing and Arrangement of Type, and Herb Lubalin's work with Benguiat, Carnase and DiSpigna for the touch, overlap, and razor-blade-edit-the-junctions school.
Start with a target interletter space interval and try to replicate that throughout a word and then a phrase, adjusting wordspacing, then linespacing as needed.
Oops, should be Harvey's "Lettering Design". His Creative Lettering books are worth a look as well.
Kerning is completely subjective.
But, I think most individuals who have trained their eyes, and art directors or those in this business, can tell when a typeface is poorly spaced or fit improperly. Hopefully, if the type designer has done a good job, you shouldn't have to adjust the kerning that he/she has incorporated into their font(s). However, as I said, this is purely subjective, and even though the type designer does a good overall job kerning for average text usage and general overall body copy reading, does not mean that you cannot adjust the spacing or relationship between letters based on your sense of aesthetics.
That being said, the easiest way to review and adjust letter kerning combinations is to type out a word that uses a wide range of letters (with ascenders and descenders) in order to visualize and get a good sense of what id going on.
I have always used this phrase in particular when kerning:
"Haightens 3246"
This short phrase has a good combination of letters (with a few numerals) which will give you a good overall sense of word spacing in the font.
Then, I would change the first letter "H" to every single other capital letter... (A, B, C, D, etc.) all the way to cap Z.
Also, change the second letter after each capital (a, b, c, d, etc.) all the way to z.
And observe the spacing and adjust (kern + or minus) when you feel that something needs an adjustment.
However, in my opinion, I think that many people use much too much kerning.
Pay particular attention to these cap to lower case combinations (Fa, Ka, La, Pa, Ra, Ta, Va, Wa, Xa, Ya).
And don't forget the punctuation between all capitals and lower case.
These usually require an adjustment depending on the point size when typesetting.
And, that is pretty much it.
However, if the initial font was spaced incorrectly or poorly, you may need to use the default 'optical' fitting scheme in most applications, or go back and adjust the 'key' letters first.
These are capitals... "HHOHOO", l'case "nnonoo" and "00" two zero's.
Unless these square to square, and square to round, and round to round, are not set up properly, kerning the entire font manually will be a nightmare.
I hope you find this little lesson helpful.
And do not second-guess your own individual sense of what looks good and what does not.
With time, anyone can become better at kerning. Good luck.
First question: Is what you are setting small enough (in length) where you can be expected to kern everything by hand? Or is a lot of text involved, where the only sane thing is to use programmatic kerning?
Second thing: There is a lot of bad advice floating round out there. While kerning strictly occurs between two letters, the whole point is to make the words fit, look, and read better. General advice about, say, how much to kern an "A" after a "W" depends on what follows that "A".
Which is the reason for my first question: if kerning is programmatic, you don't know. It has to work for WAVE as well as WAREFARE. Programmatic kerning has to be looser, the kern must accommodate any following character. Etc. On the other hand, if you are adjusting things by hand, you can use slightly different amounts of kerning with the same pair, as that pair falls in different words.
The only exception to this is when reading the words is not as important as the graphic design. It does happen, but not as often as some designers think.
Opinions by me.
@ bert_vanderveen - My point is that she could start doing kerning (and spacing) of some font that's easier to be done (like in some block, square font for example) - just for purpose to learn the process of doing it and what's important and having that done could give her a little more confidence in doing metrics for example serif/sans font.
I agree with you about what you said.
Designing Type by Karen Cheng is the best book that I've found to this day that explains kerning in quantifiable terms (link below).
Although the majority of the book covers letterforms and creating a typeface step by step near the end of the book it explains kerning as well as the proper distance between each individual letter. Give it a try it definitely helped me out a lot.

That leaves Poti, Pothier, Morrisonn and Jurcina as solid, and Erskine probably set as well, mainly because few other options on defense bring the same tool set.
So for one of the three in question (Eminger, Boumedienne, Green), either you trade him, allow him to return to Europe, or demote him to Hershey. Green is the only one not subject to waivers.
I don't think it will be for long, but for the first week or two, I think they do. Until either someone gets hurt (which is a distinct possibility) or gets traded (the more likely of the two). Boomer isn't a good defenseman, and I think the team realizes this, but letting him walk back to Europe is probably not the most simple of decisions. I think they try to get something for him before they let him walk out. Moving Eminger is also likely as well (though I think they'd keep Boomer and move Eminger first).
If that means cutting Laich loose or trying to send a Clymer/Bradley through waivers, then that'd be the case. But I just think they're handcuffed into what they can do. You can pick up a 3rd or 4th line forward down the road a lot easier than you can get a decent 5th-6th defenseman (if that's what the team thinks they have). Heck, you could sign a 4th forward off the street or pull him up from Hershey without losing a beat.

Protein Powder Product Review for Tasty Whey
In our business, I have the privilege of trying a good variety of supplements. The latest product I got to try is Tasty Whey by Adaptogen Science. This was a new product to me, and quite frankly, I was a little skeptical. First, I normally get vanilla protein and this was chocolate. With vanilla (I thought), I could add fruit or other things in it to dress it up if it doesn't taste good. At least that is what I realized was behind my line of thinking about trying a new product.
So after a good long run, I went straight to the kitchen to put the protein powder to the test. I broke the seal and opened the container, still thinking of what I could put in it to make it taste good. But before I committed to adding anything, I decided to just make it with Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk and maybe some peanut butter, and try it first. THEN, if it needed dressing up, at least I had given it a shot pretty plain.
Taste Test
Low and behold, after just blending 1 scoop of powder (20g protein) with the almond milk, it was perfectly sweet and really yummy. With other protein powders, I often add sugar-free jello mix, stevia, PB2 or other things in it to make it more palatable. This protein needed nothing.
I grabbed the container to see what all was in it and read the name 'Tasty WHEY'. "OOOOOoooh! I get it! That's why they call itTasty WHEY! It is truly a tasty whey protein powder!" Yes, I know! I am slow sometimes!
When I opened the product, I didn't realize the name was Tasty Whey. I just saw "Adaptogen". Then again, I probably wouldn't believed them anyway because everyone claims to have a tasty product (but many of them are either lying or they have bad tastebuds! This protein truly was very tasty! I could easily drink this stuff alone (and I'm picky). I already had the peanut butter out, so I do confess I added a tab but that was because I wanted to boost my fat since I wasn't going to eat for a while. Needless to say, I sucked it down in a jiffy!
Quality Check
The next question I have is whether or not it was a quality protein. I mean, normally speaking, most things that are yummy might not be as healthy. I was happy to see that Adaptogen provides exceptional nutrition. It promotes peak wellness by use of a combination of exceptionally high quality whey protein, along with fat burning MCTs (medium chain triglycerides – learn more about MCTs here), low glycemic index carbohydrates, and micronutrients AND with an AWESOME taste too!
It is a little higher in calories than the one I normally use, but after I added all the calories from the extra stuff I put in it, it really came out to be about the same. I also like that it has some fat in it. This will help it stick with me longer. The milkshake flavor would also make this a great shake for someone who has kids or older adults who need to supplement but are reluctant to drink protein because they haven't liked the taste of other brands.
All in all – Tasty WHEY offers a quality product AND quality taste. OK. I admit it. I'm impressed.

4 Ways to Find Your Fit
Shape Magazine has challenged me, as one of the 10 East Coast against 10 West Coast bloggers, to put our new Fitbit Charge to the test. Each week we compete to see which Coast can take the most steps or log the longest distance, leading to one Coast to be declared the most "Active Coast".
1st Challenge: Take a Hike!
Each week we will get a challenge to complete (follow #MotivationMondays and #FindYourFit to follow the challenge). This week's challenge was "Take a Hike". I don't know about you and where you live, but there isn't a lot of "hiking" here. There are no mountains, hills or parks to go "hiking" around – at least, not how I think of hiking. While there IS one trail called Jungle Trail, one town over, hiking isn't something you think of when you think of Vero Beach.
On top of it, Monday for us was a crazy travel work-day for us Pfiesters. We were up at 5am, on the road by 7am to Boca Raton where we shoot our LiveExercise workout shows, then we had to fly back to train clients, teach kickboxing and teach BCx Shred Camp at our gym, Max Fitness Club. But, I still planned on getting my hike on despite my insane day! Did I mention I was also temporarily blind?
I'm going through a special contact fitting (created for hard-to-fit blink folks like me). This fitting requires me to wear a special contact lens (and I still have to wear glasses over them to see! That's how blind I am! haha). Anyway, I have to wear these contacts for a few days to help the doctor (Dr. Joyce Desrosiers of the Eye Clinic of Vero) measure my eye. So, not only did I not have an ideal path, I can't even really see a path at all. Ha! So, instead of sitting on the couch in the office waiting for Steve's show to end, staring into space, I was on a mission to prove to everyone you can have all the excuses in the world and still choose not to use one of them. So, in between shows, I decided to hike my semi-blind self through Boca's industrial area.
To my surprise, I actually had a lot of fun exploring through parking lots, loading docs, sidewalks, breezeways and side streets – and even found a pretty lake-veiw spot to sit and relax a bit.
Even when your day is busy, even when your circumstances are not ideal, you can still #FindYourFit!
Follow me on Intagram & Twitter to join in the weekly challenge and follow my teams progress at Shape.com.
Here are a few pics from my city hike! lol
4 Ways to Find Your Fit
1. Don't be afraid to walk in circles. Before I decided to walk through the entire industrial plaza on the street where our studio was, I first decided I'd just walk around the building. Even if I had to do 20 laps, I would still get some steps in, burn some calories and find my fit. I think many people are looking for the ideal path, not just any path. To #FindYourFit, you have to improvise.
2. 10 minutes is ok. When it comes to exercising the heart and lunges, exercising for only 10 minutes at a time is effective. Don't feel like you have to have a whole hour to workout. While your co-worker takes their 10 minute smoke break, take a 10 minute walk break! You'll come back more refreshed and alert than your nicotine-filled friend.
3. Make the most of the time you have. If you are limited on time, incorporate HIIT (High Intensity Hit Training) into your walk. You can set your Fitbit Charge to cue you every minute (or desired time). Rotate between a run and a walk, or a sprint and a jog, to burn more calories and take your cardiovascular training up a notch.
4. Walk a mile without leaving. There are other ways to take steps without even leaving your house or office. Butt-kicks (jogging in place), jump rope, high marches and jumping jacks can help you get your steps in even if you can't step out. Here's an example of a workout you can do with nothing but your bodyweight and a jumprope to get increase your steps and #findyourfit!
Warm up: Watch Video
25 Butt-Kix (jog in place, heels hit your butt)
25 Jax
(repeat 2x)
25 Squats
25 2-Step Heismans
(repeat 2x)
Jump Rope (2 minutes)
THE PUSH: Watch Video
(3 rounds for time)
30 Jogs
30 Butt-Kix

20 Skaters (lunge from side to side, touching opposite hand to the lunging foot)
20 Butt-Kix
20 Squat Front-Kix (squat with alternating kicks)

20 Shuffle (quick switch)
20 Butt Kix
Record your time at the end of the third round!

What is ThermoHeat?
ThermoHeat is a new thermogenic (fat burner) that's out. Steve explains what thermogenics are, how they work, and what Thermo Heat does.
New Fat Burner Boosts Results: ThermoHeat Product Review
Sometimes I feel like I need a little boost to help me reach my goals. While I don't normally take a lot of supplements aside from protein, vitamins and creatine, I do occasionally add a fat burner to the mix to give me that edge I need when I'm starting a new diet or I'm just kinda feeling blah. So, when I got the opportunity to try ThermoHeat, I jumped right on it – because NOW was one of those times!!
Being a fitness professional, I hate when diet pills claim to help you lose weight, get ripped, get your man back and fix all your problems (because you know some companies do make crazy claims like that!), however ThermoHeat just says it like it is – no fluff, just science (Click here to see clinical studies). It says it's boost metabolism (and it DOES), helps manage your appetite (and it DOES!) and enhances energy and alertness (and it most definitely DOES).
Natural Boost
You might have seen the ThermoHeat feature in Fitness RX. Basically, ThermoHeat is made up of a variety of nature's best antioxidants, herbs, extracts and supplements. For instance, ThermoHeat has capsaicin in it, a chemical found in red chili pepper used to make paprika which reduces appetite & increases metabolic rate. Read more. While I'm no dietician or chemist,and can't explain all the ingredients, I can tell you what this product does for me – or doesn't do I should say!
Unlike many other thermogenics, ThermoHeat doesn't make me jittery. Since I have heart palpitation issues, this is super important for me. Some fat burners make me feel very uneasy, but ThermoHeat is energizing without freaking me out. I can actually FEEL the warmth of the ingredients, warming me up from the inside – which is just plain cool (or hot, I should say). Increased body temperature results in more calories burned throughout the day.
Not only am I burning more calories at rest, the energy ThermoHeat gives me makes me want to burn even more calories. This is the edge I need to get my butt going on those days I'm not "feeling it". Let's be realistic. I would be lying if I told you to pop this pill and you'll lose weight. While you will burn a few more calories a day and you may not be as hungry through the day, you will miss out on its benefits if you aren't exercising and eating clean. What I love about ThermoHeat is I'm not only burning more calories, but I have the mental boost (more energy and alertness) to WANT to workout more. That's the boost I'm talking about.
Boost Energy
I have taken ThermoHeat before a run or before a class and LOVED the added energy! I don't suggest taking it right before exercise (especially if you haven't eaten) simply because the warm feeling feels more intense to me when I am huffing and puffing too, but if I take it with food or an hour before exercise I feel SUPER-FANTABULOUS! Seriously, the other day, I was SOOOOO DEAD! I really, REALLY didn't want to go to the gym, but I popped some ThermoHeat (I know, it's not a pre-workout pill, but I figured what the hay!) and DRUG my lazy bones to the gym – and ROCKED it! I totally left the gym feeling 10 foot tall and bullet proof. ThermoHeat is energizing indeed! Just ask Steve, who accused me of taking crack on the last BCx Boot Camp show on LiveExercise! lol After taking ThermoHeat, I was quite the energizer bunny!
Reduce Appetite
Lastly, ThermoHeat is also an appetite suppressant and I DEFINITELY noticed I am not near as hungry now that I've been taking ThermoHeat. I do NOT condone going long spans without eating (we need to boost our metabolism by eating ever 2-3 hours), however, the other day I realized it was 6:45pm and I hadn't eaten ALL day. I completely forgot – that is NOT like me! When I finally did eat, it wasn't from hunger, but just because I knew I NEEDED to eat.
The Verdict
Basically, my take on ThermoHeat is this. If you want a little kick in the pants and need more energy without the jitters and heart racing, you should try ThermoHeat. I've actually never been so good and consistent about taking supplements. With ThermoHeat, I've been extra good about taking it on a regular basis like a good girl! Why? Because I'm comfortable taking it and it works! (oh yeah, and I have a lost a couple pounds too!)
SO thankful I got to try this product. I definitely give it 2 thumbs up!

Not only can Titin clothing boost your workouts, the pliable weighted gel inserts can be heated or frozen to stay hot or cold for 35-45 minutes.

Reebok Z-Rated Shoes & Workout
The following post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Reebok.
Sometimes it's not enough to just be fast. You need to be able to move quick. If your daily run is never running in a straight line, this shoe is your kind of shoe. Check it out!
Reebok just came out with a really cool high-traction running shoe that's made to move quick. If you like the natural feel of a super light shoe that gives you just enough cushion without losing the feel of the road, this shoe is for you! What I love most about this shoe (besides how light it is) is definitely the traction. Traction is out of control. The outer sole is designed for maximum ground contact so your foot really grabs the ground for quick switches, turns, jumps and stops. Not only is this great for running (especially when your route includes navigating around traffic, puddles, people, dogs and uneven sidewalks) I'm super excited about using these shoes on my functional training days. These shoes are going to crush sprints, box jumps, heismans, Shuffle Touches, and other exercises that require more traction.
Inspired by hi-performance, Z-Rated tires, the Reebok Z Run running shoe are like sports car tires on your feet. The Z-Rated technology delivers control, traction and speed – just like my Corvette!
Here are the things I like most about the shoe:
- Super Light
- Smooth No-Sew upper
- Low-cut for mobility
- Roomy toe box
- Awesome tread for killer control, traction and speed
- Super flexible midsole
Here's a cool video on the technology of the shoe:

I'm wore my brand new Cory Vines racerback tank yesterday and loved it. It's super soft, light, extremely breathable and has moisture wicking technology that allows sweat to evaporate quickly. It fit really nicely (somewhat fitted in the chest area, with a nice bit of light stretch), but a little looser through the waist so I'm not suffocating or feeling like every fat roll is showing through. Best yet, it's not expensive! Get this tank.

Published: August 21, 2014 (Issue # 1825)
As the war of sanctions and trade bans between Russia and the West smolders, parties on both sides have brandished the World Trade Organization as the final judge of the other's offenses, threatening to transform their deliberately temporary sanctions into a drawn out and acrid court process.
But as Poland officially urges the European Commission to take Russia to the WTO over its bans on EU food imports, Russian politicians should hope the conflict never gets that far, analysts said.
Russia's food bans are significantly easier to fight at the WTO than EU sanctions, said Ian Bond, director of foreign policy at the London-based think tank Center for European Reform.
"[EU sanctions] have avoided any outright bans or tariffs on Russian exports," Bond said. "Paradoxically, the fact that the EU has not really gone down the line of the so-called sectoral sanctions … may actually make it much more difficult for the Russians to make a case in the WTO."
The EU and U.S.'s harshest sanctions, imposed in late July in an attempt to force Russia into ceasing its support of separatist rebels in war-torn eastern Ukraine, cut off state-owned Russian banks' access to long-term debt in Western capital markets and restricted bans on exports of sensitive technologies to Russia. While going further than any previous Western measures, economists agreed that the full scope of the damage would only be seen in the long term.
Russia's food bans earlier this month, on the other hand, had an immediate and drastic impact on trade, diverting food imports worth a total of about $9 billion a year from the U.S., the EU, Canada, Australia and Norway.
Despite frequent Russian threats to take their grievances to the WTO, it was Poland on Tuesday that made a first visible political push in that direction with its official request to the European Commission.
Poland was one of the EU countries that suffered the fiercest losses from the import bans. Agriculture Minister Marek Sawicki said previously that Poland will lose 750 million euros (nearly $1 billion) from the Russian import bans, which cut off 50 percent of Polish food exports, RIA Novosti reported.

C'mon..Kabuto have lived and breathed to be Orochimarus little pet, Its perfetc that he is the next supervillain in the story, when the Akatsuki act is over..
...It would be a more of a waste to let Sasuke "transform" into Oro. He has evolved alot through out the story, and technically he isn't a "bad guy" so it wouldn't make sence if he just dies and let Oro take over.
But Im looking forward to see that old pedo face again, Its a shame that he died so quickly aganist Sasuske, but he was sick so it can't be helped..
But its 100% that he is gonna jump back into the story, otherwise we wouldn't have seen him fight naruto and Hineta etc back then, giving info..

I have a situation where my application constructs a dynamic LINQ query using PredicateBuilder based on user-specified filter criteria (aside: check out this link for the best EF PredicateBuilder implementation). The problem is that this query usually takes a long time to run and I need the results of this query to perform other queries (i.e., joining the results with other tables). If I were writing T-SQL, I'd put the results of the first query into a temporary table or a table variable and then write my other queries around that. I thought of getting a list of IDs (e.g., List<Int32> query1IDs
) from the first query and then doing something like this:
var query2 = DbContext.TableName.Where(x => query1IDs.Contains(x.ID))
This will work in theory; however, the number of IDs in query1IDs
can be in the hundreds or thousands (and the LINQ expression x => query1IDs.Contains(x.ID)
gets translated into a T-SQL "IN" statement, which is bad for obvious reasons) and the number of rows in TableName is in the millions. Does anyone have any suggestions as to the best way to deal with this kind of situation?
Edit 1: Additional clarification as to what I'm doing.
Okay, I'm constructing my first query (query1) which just contains the IDs that I'm interested in. Basically, I'm going to use query1 to "filter" other tables. Note: I am not using a ToList()
at the end of the LINQ statement---the query is not executed at this time and no results are sent to the client:
var query1 = DbContext.TableName1.Where(ComplexFilterLogic).Select(x => x.ID)
Then I take query1 and use it to filter another table (TableName2). I now put ToList()
at the end of this statement because I want to execute it and bring the results to the client:
var query2 = (from a in DbContext.TableName2 join b in query1 on a.ID equals b.ID select new { b.Column1, b.column2, b.column3,...,b.columnM }).ToList();
Then I take query1 and re-use it to filter yet another table (TableName3), execute it and bring the results to the client:
var query3 = (from a in DbContext.TableName3 join b in query1 on a.ID equals b.ID select new { b.Column1, b.column2, b.column3,...,b.columnM }).ToList();
I can keep doing this for as many queries as I like:
var queryN = (from a in DbContext.TableNameN join b in query1 on a.ID equals b.ID select new { b.Column1, b.column2, b.column3,...,b.columnM }).ToList();
The Problem: query1 is takes a long time to execute. When I execute query2, query3...queryN, query1 is being executed (N-1) times...this is not a very efficient way of doing things (especially since query1 isn't changing). As I said before, if I were writing T-SQL, I would put the result of query1 into a temporary table and then use that table in the subsequent queries.
Edit 2:
I'm going to give the credit for answering this question to Albin Sunnanbo for his comment:
When I had similar problems with a heavy query that I wanted to reuse in several other queries I always went back to the solution of creating a join in each query and put more effort in optimizing the query execution (mostly by tweaking my indexes).
I think that's really the best that one can do with Entity Framework. In the end, if the performance gets really bad, I'll probably go with John Wooley's suggestion:
This may be a situation where dropping to native ADO against a stored proc returning multiple results and using an internal temp table might be your best option for this operation. Use EF for the other 90% of your app.
Thanks to everyone who commented on this post...I appreciate everyone's input!

DALLAS –Mykkele Thompson dove at Trey Millard's legs, so the OU fullback hurdled the Texas safety. And in mid-air, Millard forearmed Adrian Phillips, sending another Longhorn safety sprawling to the ground, while Millard scampered on to the longest Sooner pass play in series history.
Oklahoma football: Sooners beat Texas to the 'SEC' punch
We are not making this up. Even while airborn, the Sooners put a saloon-clearing smackdown on the MackBrowns.
OU badly beat Texas, 63-21 Saturday in the Cotton Bowl. Worse yet for the Longhorns, the Sooners beat them up.
This game looked like a fight in an old Batman episode. "KRUNCH!" "WHAMM!" "KAPOW!"
When Corey Nelson and Tony Jefferson weren't leveling bone-jarring tackles, a guy with yellow hair (Kenny Stills) and a guy just coming off chemo (Austin Woods) were delivering bone-rattling blocks to spring touchdowns.
Injured Longhorns littered the field all day long, and by game's end, they were joined by Texas' pride.
"I guess we're a little bit tough," said Bob Stoops, mocking those who questioned the Sooners' manhood after a loss to Kansas State.
Here's how tough the Sooners looked. SEC tough, with a touch of Big 12 fireworks.
Mack Brown talked in the off-season of turning his 'Horns into an SEC-style team, but the Sooners beat him to the punch.
And speaking of roundhouses, "Guys competing, willing to step into the ring, throw some punches, take a punch and come back and answer the bell, round after round," is how OU offensive coordinator Josh Heupel described the day.
The Sooners passed for a Big 12-like 334 yards and ran for an SEC-like 343 yards. And they stomped the Texas offense, which produced no points until the final five minutes and which entered the fourth quarter with four first downs.
Stoops said the Sooners "stoned" the 'Horn offense, a new term for Bobby but one which fits perfectly.
"We're playing physical, we're tackling, we're not giving up big plays," Stoops said. "We're building on it. Hopefully it will continue. And I believe it will."
Through three quarters, Texas had seven three-plays-and-punt drives.
You know how those previous OU routs of Texas — 63-14, 65-13, 55-17 just a year ago — were snowball games? A turnover here, a tipped there, and suddenly one good thing for the Sooners turns into five?

Chinese food maven Ed Schoenfeld and dim sum master chef Joe Ng duplicated their West Village hit with this lively Upper West Side location. It's bigger—79 seats as opposed to 42—but no easier to get a table. Reservations are only taken for parties of eight or more (up to 20, that is). RedFarm's red-accented main dining room has a full bar, snug booths and a long communal table; the side room can be rented out for private events. It's always fun to go here with a group, which allows you to sample even more of the delicious dishes, among them Katz's pastrami egg rolls, Benton's bacon and egg fried rice and fat grilled shrimp with watercress sauce. Innovative recipes and farmers' market sourcing for seasonal vegetable dishes are RedFarm priorities, elevating it in more ways than geography from the typical Chinatown experience.

Sort of. LOL.
Incase you aren't on my Facebook, I got to spend a good chunk of my day in Emergency.....for DS2, who fell off a chair last night and hurt his elbow. DH and I got no sleep last night since he was crying and in our bed from 11 pm on. Thankfully he slept not too bad from about 4 am to 8 am.
Anyways, poor kid wasn't moving his left arm at all and would cry when we tried to move it or touch it. After 2 trips to the ER today and some unsuccessful adjustments to correct nursemaids elbow, we are home again with a half-cast on his arm. Poor little dude looks utterly ridiculous, but is much happier now that his elbow feels more secure.
40 weeks pregnant! Not the best time to have an 18 month old with a cast, so he now requires more help and assistance. I guess I should be thankful I don't have a newborn as well.
It was a ridiculous day for this to happen. We have NO groceries in the house, and DH had a ton of work to do. I'll have to run out and get groceries when the kids go to bed. The only thing we had to eat was bread and eggs, so egg-in-a-hole it was for supper!
Oh man! That totally sucks! At least hubby was home for the day but GAH! So poopy!
My SIL broke her ankle a week before my nephew turned 1. He was just learning to walk and she could do NOTHING. So my mom and I pretty much put together his first birthday party. The worse part was that she did it to herself by signing up for motor cycle lessons when she had a baby!
I had to laugh about the food in your house. I'm such a hoarder that I always have a pantry FULL of food. Even when I say there's nothing to eat, there's lots. :P
LOL, Heather, I swear that was our only supper option! We did have some cans of soup, but no one really likes soup except for me. And it was a warm day, so soup is yucky. Literally, we had no meat, no fruit.....we didn't even have any peanut butter.
I just got back from grocery shopping and spent a ton. Like....almost 1/3 of my budget for the whole month of June.....oops. I hope some of it lasts a while. Now I am pooped! Grocery shopping for a family of 6 on your due date.....yep, probably an awesome idea to GO TO BED NOW!
Good job on the groceries. I have long been a pantry hoarder but since getting a deep freeze it has expanded. Hubby was saying tonight that we have thousands and thousands of calories in our pantry. I guess we're ready for 'the big one' (earthquake). LOL
