7. Oxalic acid, which occurs in over 50 fruits and vegetables, becomes harmful when cooked. This includes such powerfoods as spinach and dandelion greens. The calcium binds with the oxalic acid in the blood to neutralize it, forming calcium compounds that are difficult for the body to excrete; this may lead to kidney stones.
8. White blood cells increase when food is cooked; the body reacts to cooked food in the same way it reacts to infection.
9. Cooked fiber passes through the digestive system more slowly than raw food. It is then more likely to ferment, causing toxins, gas and heartburn. Cooked foods can take up to 24 or 48 hours or longer to digest—hard work for the body for a few nutrients!
10. The pancreas enlarges as a result of over-stimulation from cooked food; eventually it breaks down, according to studies. Years of abuse to the pancreas cause it to secrete fewer enzymes which may cause digestive problems or diabetes.
11. Unsaturated oils in cooked foods become rancid within a few hours, even in the refrigerator. The saturated fat and trans fat in deep-fried foods increase your risk for high cholesterol and heart disease. Deep-fried foods also may contain acrylamide, a possible carcinogen; foods fried at higher temperatures or for longer contain more than those fried for shorter times or at lower temperatures.
12. All processed foods are cooked foods, which come with packaging that is polluting this world.
Next: Does this mean I should never eat cooked food?

The Tyumen Parental Committee have told prosecutors the men, Veet Mano and Mohsen Norouzi, could somehow harm residents who visit them, RIA Novosti reported Thursday.
Mano, a U.S. citizen, and Norouzi, from Iran, became known in Russia after taking part in a Russian reality show in which people claiming to be psychics compete.
The men have announced they will be in the region for private consultations.
The committee noted the Russian Orthodox church also opposes psychic activities. The group proposed a bill to ban psychics and sects in the region.

BELLINGHAM, Wash. — The Simon Fraser University Clan had their hearts broken at the buzzer Saturday night in Bellingham.
Britt Harris scored on a lay-up at the buzzer, lifting the host Western Washington Vikings to a 59-57 win over the Clan in a battle of nationally-ranked NCAA Div. 2 women's powers.
No. 7 Simon Fraser (4-1, 11-2) and No. 11 Western Washington (5-0, 11-2) each entered the game undefeated in Great Northwest Athletic Conference play, but by the time the dust had cleared at Sam Carver Gym on the WWU campus, the Clan's eight-game win streak had been snapped, and the Vikes current streak extended to four in a row.
Harris was huge for the Vikings, scoring 12 of her 14 points in the second half.
SFU forward Nayo Raincock-Ekunwe, who boasts the best field goal percentage in all of NCAA D-2 hoops, and sits second in rebounding, pushed her GNAC record for double-doubles to 52 with 14 points and 21 rebounds. Raincock-Ekunwe's reverse layup with five seconds remaining had tied the score 57-57.
Clan point guard Kristina Collins added 13 points, and guard Erin Chambers a further 11. SFU led by as many as seven points in the first half, while Western led by as many as six in the second.
SFU gets back to conference play Thursday when it plays host to Montana State-Billings (7 p.m.) at the West Gym.
BURNABY — A pair of free throws with two seconds remaining pulled the Simon Fraser Clan to within three points, but the clock ran out of ticks on an encouraging outing Saturday for the Simon Fraser Clan men's basketball team.
SFU (0-5 GNAC, 5-8 overall) remained at the bottom of the Great Northwest Athletic Conference standings, still in search of that elusive first conference win of the campaign following an 89-84 homecourt loss to the Central Washington Wildcats (3-3, 9-5).
SFU actually owned the largest lead of the evening, going up by 11 points at 30-19 with 8:33 gone in the first half, after guard Matt Raivio drained a three.
The Wildcats built a seven-point lead midway through the second, but the Clan held their own the rest of the way, just unable to gain enough traction to put together a game-defining run.
SFU guard Taylor Dunn scored a game-high 24 points while fellow guard Elijah Matthews added 13, and forward Olah another 14. Dillon Hamilton, the ex-St. George's guard, led the bench brigade with 10 points.
Dom Williams and Mark McLaughlin led four Wildcats in double figures with 21 and 18 points respectively.
Clan hoop squads each come close, but fall short in Saturday GNAC home, road tilts

It's normal for parents to disagree and argue from time to time. Parents might disagree about money, home chores, or how to spend time. They might disagree about big things — like important decisions they need to make for the family. They might even disagree about little things that don't seem important at all — like what's for dinner or what time someone gets home.
Sometimes parents can disagree with each other and still manage to talk about it in a calm way, where both people get a chance to listen and to talk. But many times when parents disagree, they argue. An argument is a fight using words.
Most kids worry when their parents argue. Loud voices and angry words parents might use can make kids feel scared, sad, or upset. Even arguments that use silence — like when parents act angry and don't talk to each other at all — can be upsetting for kids.
If the argument has anything to do with the kids, kids might think they have caused their parents to argue and fight. If kids think it's their fault, they might feel guilty or even more upset. But parents' behavior is never the fault of kids.
Kids often worry about what it means when parents fight. They might jump to conclusions and think arguments mean their parents don't love each other anymore. They might think it means their parents will get a divorce.
But parents' arguments usually don't mean that they don't love each other or that they're getting a divorce. Most of the time the arguments are just a way to let off steam when parents have a bad day or feel stressed out over other things. Most people lose their cool now and then.
Just like kids, when parents get upset they might cry, yell, or say things they don't really mean. Sometimes an argument might not mean anything except that one parent or both just lost their temper. Just like kids, parents might argue more if they're not feeling their best or are under a lot of stress from a job or other worries.
Kids usually feel upset when they see or hear parents arguing. It's hard to hear the yelling and the unkind words. Seeing parents upset and out of control can make kids feel unprotected and scared.
Kids might worry about one parent or the other during an argument. They might worry that one parent may feel especially sad or hurt because of being yelled at by the other parent. They might worry that one parent seems angry enough to lose control. They might worry that their parent might be angry with them, too, or that someone might get hurt.
Sometimes parents' arguments make kids cry or give them a stomachache. Worry from arguments can even make it hard for a kid to go to sleep or go to school.
It's important to remember that the parents are arguing or fighting, not the kids. So the best thing to do is to stay out of the argument and go somewhere else in the house to get away from the fighting or arguing. So go to your room, close the door, find something else to do until it is over. It's not the kid's job to be a referee.
When parents argue, there can be too much yelling and screaming, name calling, and too many unkind things said. Even though many parents may do this, it's never OK to treat people in your family with disrespect, use unkind words, or yell and scream at them.
Sometimes parents' fighting may go too far, and include pushing and shoving, throwing things, or hitting. These things are never OK. When parents' fights get physical in these ways, the parents need to learn to get their anger under control. They might need the help of another adult to do this.
Kids who live in families where the fighting goes too far can let someone know what's going on. Talking to other relatives, a teacher, a school counselor, or any adult you trust about the fighting can be important.
Sometimes parents who fight can get so out of control that they hurt each other, and sometimes kids can get hurt, too. If this happens, kids can let an adult know, so that the family can be helped and protected from fighting in a way that hurts people.
If fighting is out of control in a family, if people are getting hurt from fighting, or if people in the family are tired of too much fighting, there is help. Family counselors and therapists know how to help families work on problems, including fighting.
They can help by teaching family members to listen to each other and talk about feelings without yelling and screaming. Though it may take some work, time, and practice, people in families can always learn to get along better.
Having arguments once in a while can be healthy if it helps people get feelings out in the open instead of bottling them up inside. It's important for people in a family to be able to tell each other how they feel and what they think, even when they disagree. The good news about disagreeing is that afterward people usually understand each other better and feel closer.
Parents fight for different reasons. Maybe they had a bad day at work, or they're not feeling well, or they're really tired. Just like kids, when parents aren't feeling their best, they can get upset and might be more likely to argue. Most of the time, arguments are over quickly, parents apologize and make up, and everyone feels better again.
No family is perfect. Even in the happiest home, problems pop up and people argue from time to time. Usually, the family members involved get what's bothering them out in the open and talk about it. Everyone feels better, and life can get back to normal.
Being part of a family means everyone pitches in and tries to make life better for each other. Arguments happen and that's OK, but with love, understanding, and some work, families can solve almost any problem.

I have tried a ton of heat protectant products. I thought they all worked until I tried Oscar Blandi Heat protectant spray. The ingredients in this particular product were proven to work against heat in a scientific journal which is why I shelled out my cash to try it. I am glad I did!
Age: 44-55
Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Not Sure

I was looking for a dry heat protectant, rather than 1 that goes on wet/damp hair. I found this in a discount store and tried it: it's fabulous! I guess I'm the only reviewer that doesn't mind the fresh, lemony scent! I think it smells nice and it disappears immediately anyway. I usually put this on after blow drying and before using my irons. I swear, it seems to provide a light hold which is an added benefit and it definitely makes my hair less frizzy and smoother. It works whether curling or straightening and I snap it up whenever I find it at the discounters, but I have paid full price even though it killed me because it's worth it!
Age: 30-35
Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium, Warm
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium

Where has this been all my life?? This is probably the best heat protectant I have ever used. I have long (mid-back length), thick, wavy, damaged hair that I heat style almost every day. When I use the Oscar Blandi protectant I really feel like my hair is being protected from the high heat of my flat iron. I'm left with soft, smooth, and shiny hair that also smells great! It doesn't leave my hair flat or greasy. It's a bit on the expensive side, but I will repurchase for sure! It is worth the money.
Age: 25-29
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Red, Wavy, Fine
Eyes: Green
I really liked this product, but deducted a lippie because usually heat protectant products have some other property to them; smoothing, anti-frizz, etc. This one is simply a heat protectant. I do feel as though it actually protected my hair from all heat styling, as it appeared shiny and healthy even after multiple blow drying/curling iron blasts within a few days. It's a bit pricey, (around $20-25? at Sephora) but lasted me several months with almost every day use. If you're looking for a good heat protectant, try this. However, there are many products out there that are multi-faceted that may be more of a bang for your buck!

I LOVE this product. I only wash my hair twice a week and use this to protect my hair when I blow-dry and re-style on days I didn't wash.
It smells awful, like lemon pinesol...but the scent doesnt last long and once you style your hair it is virtually undectable.
This really protects your hair, It has made such a difference in my blow-dry routine.
I usually find this for around $7.99 at Marshalls/TJ Maxx, I have also seen it at Target for around $16, and Sephora sells for $23. Obviously better to find a cheaper source, but honestly I would pay full price because I really believe this product is protecting my hair from all the crap I do to it.

Finally found my HG heat spray! Every other spray I've used left my medium thick (but getting thinner since coloring over the past few months) hair flat, greasy and dirty looking. I looked over this and tried other brands at first, but that was such a waste! Goes on so fine, I got worried it wasn't spraying at all at first. Not even remotely greasy and doesn't cause buildup at all. And it dries fast, which is great if you're getting ready in a hurry! It does have a lemony cleaning chemical scent, but it doesn't bother me and it fades very quickly. I also love that it's alcohol-free and I feel better about putting one less drying alcohol product on my hair. I tried the travel size bottle first, in case it let me down like every other product, but soon went right back to buy the full-size! Much pricier than my budget prefers ($24 for full-size, $11 for travel size) but a little goes a long way and my hair looks great. I especially love that I don't wash my hair every day (fake redhead problems), but this doesn't make it look greasy at all, even after a few days. I don't think enough people know about this product and they're missing out!
Age: 19-24
Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Warm

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT. You have no idea how long I searched for an aerosol heat protectant. I let my hair air dry 50% of the time and I don't put product in it while its wet, so I needed something to use before curling/straightening while dry. I spray a mostly on my roots and ends, and it's NEVER crunchy. (Of course, use in moderation...a little goes a long way) I beat style my hair every other day and only get. It cut twice a year. My hair dresser never complains and says my hair is extremely healthy for what I put it through. Only a few split ends and hardly any breakage, and I have VERY fine hair. Like...baby fine.
Two downsides are the smell and the price. It smells exactly like lemon pinesol. I make sure to walk out of my bathroom to spray, for fear of suffocation haha. But you get used to it. The price is a bit high at around $25, but I've been lucky and have been able to find it at Marshall's a few times for $8. I snatch it up and save it every chance I get.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Dry, Fair-Medium, Not Sure
Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium

I love this product,makes my hair soft and protects it from my flatiron. sprays on dry and leaves no residue. It does have a strong perfume fragrance at first but quickly goes away.
Age: 19-24
Skin: Oily, Olive, Not Sure
Hair: Black, Curly, Fine

I LOVE THIS PRODUCT! Before this, I was using the Frizz-Ease Thermal Protection Serum, which I loved, but since I already use a serum for my leave-in, adding another serum over top was just weighing my fine hair down. This can be used in conjunction with virtually ANY other hair product, without coating your hair in greasy layers of product and weighing your strands down.
This product is just as the name says; A virtually weightless, dry spray. It leaves hair soft, shiny, smooth, and manageable. It seems to provide light hold, but it does not take the place of hair spray (for those who use it). The product claims to protect hair up to 450 degrees, and it seems to do so. After straightening and blow-drying, my hair is free of that gross burnt smell that I get when I don't use this. Plus, this even controls frizz!
I would also like to say that this product is excellent for everyday use (even for those who don't wash their hair everyday). Due to my fragile, dry hair, I only wash 2x a week, and I can literally apply this product everyday between washes without getting any buildup. It's awesome!
My only gripe about this product is that it smells kind of like a cleaning product, but since the odor does not linger in your hair, I can deal with it.
It retails for $23 at Sephora, but I purchase mine from Winners (a Canadian department store, for any Americanos reading this) for like $7.99. I will gladly pay full price for this if I end up having to though. It's just THAT good! Highly recommend.

I received a free sample sized can of this and I love it! It really helps make my hair shiny, soft, and feel healthier after I've straightened it with no mercy. It cuts straightening my somewhat wavy hair by 2/3 the time. One thing I don't like is the scent. I'm sure other hair products smell worse but I don't use many other hair styling products so I'm just not in love with this scent and it is pricey. I think I will purchase a full size when I run out of the sample!

Sacramento Signs
Fears vs. City of Sacramento
Free speech lawsuit filed by two entrepreneurs and the Institute for Justice challenges Sacramento's sign ban.
. | IJ clients Carl and Elizabeth Fears | |
Watch a brief video clip on this lawsuit | ||
Businesses need to advertise to survive. For small businesses, signs are their most effective and least expensive option. But the City of Sacramento banned businesses from using sandwich boards, banners, and other portable signs and enforced its ban against the owners of a small independent gym, Carl and Elizabeth Fears. Without their sandwich board, the Fears lost countless customers. So the Fears fought back to protect their gym and the First Amendment right of every business to communicate with the public—and won.
For years, husband and wife Carl and Elizabeth relied on a sandwich board outside their gym, Got Muscle Health Club, to bring in clients. The gym is located at a "blink-and-you'll-miss-it" building on a busy street; many would not even know the gym is there without the sign. The city threatened to prosecute the Fears' sign with fines so severe, they would destroy their business. Although Got Muscle cannot survive without advertising, it had no choice but to remove the sign.
The city's arbitrary restriction did not even apply to all messages. For instance, the Fears could legally display the same sign, in the same location, if it advertised real estate or a non-profit group's event.
Sign codes like Sacramento's threaten small businesses across the country. Local officials severely restrict signs, often in the name of "traffic safety" or "aesthetics," with no proof that signs negatively affect either. Like in Sacramento, the side codes are often riddled with exemptions, undercutting officials' claims that these restrictions are necessary.
This is not just bad public policy, it is unconstitutional. Under the First Amendment, the government cannot arbitrarily restrict speech, nor can it pick and choose what messages it likes best.
That's why Carl and Elizabeth joined the Institute for Justice in filing a free-speech lawsuit against the city in federal court on Tuesday, August 13, 2013. Sacramento immediately backed down. Two weeks after the lawsuit was filed, the City agreed not to enforce the challenged provisions of the sign code against the Fears or anyone else in the City. In November 2013, the City amended its sign code to allow businesses to have sandwich board signs, banners, flags, and other temporary signs for the first time in decades. The Fears are thrilled to once again have their sign and also to have helped other businesses throughout the City.

Recipe by LADEEVOLFAN
"The easiest and tastiest cheese ball you have ever tried. It is made using cream cheese and canned chicken!"
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.
Show ingredients on sale
Sort stores by
Save money at local stores when ingredients are on sale!
Watch video tips and tricks
2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
1 (5 ounce) can chunk chicken, drained
1/2 cup chopped pecans
Everyone who tried this asked for the recipe. I doubled the chicken and halved the dressing mix. Will make this alot.
I took this to a dinner party, and it was a total flop. I think I was the only one who had more than one taste; I had to have two or three crackers of the stuff just trying to figure out why it was rated so highly. I was very disappointed, because this recipe had so many rave reviews. It was salty, and the ranch taste was overpowering. In fact, no one could tell that there was chicken in it. It was simple to make, and the ingredients are easy to keep on hand, so I guess it might be a good recipe to have for emergencies.

wow! I will never buy another cheese ball.Made this for Easter and everyone loved it. To make it a little easier for me to form the ball I put samdwich bags on my hands and it gor round in no time
This was a big hit at my office party. I doubled the amount of chicken and it turned out really good. However, it was almost too salty. Next time I will not use the entire package of Ranch.
This was so easy and yummy! I found southwestern ranch mix and used that to give it a little extra kick and instead of rolling in nuts (I don't care for nuts). I threw in a cup of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/4 cup real bacon pieces. I didn't even bother rolling it into a ball, I just served it in a dish. HUGE HIT!!!
Could you roll this in something (chives) to make it look more appealing?
This was a tasty cheese ball! I used 2 cooked chicken breasts (diced) instead of canned chicken and used minced celery (apprx about 1 stalk worth) instead of the nuts. Very good. There's none left so that's saying something since I served this with several other "favorite & pre-tested" appetizer recipes found on this site. Will make again! Thanks Laura!
I have made this one twice now, and it is really good. I only put about 3/4 the amount of ranch mix the second time I made it, and it wasn't as salty.

Holy cow, I wrote a book!
Xeni Jardin on Boing Boing reports that the DHS series I mentioned a while back was all an elaborate scam to bilk investors out of millions. (One tip-off has got to be that they changed their domain name from www.dhs.tv to www.dhstheseries.tv. And curiously, their "News" page just says P ALIGN"LEFT"/P.) Read Ms. Jardin's article for more linkity goodness. I guess this has a good side: It means no FEMA episode.

Vehicle history report
A vehicle history report in the US contains important information about a used vehicle's past. These reports generally show title records from each state DMV, along with salvage and insurance total loss records and accident records (1, 2, 7). This information is vital for consumers when choosing which used vehicle to purchase, as it can indicate issues with the vehicle's safety and value. Additional information in a vehicle history report are ownership changes, and vehicle details decoded from the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) such as year, make, model, and odometer history.
Vehicle history reports are typically available online from several sources. Vehicle history reports are available for automobiles including light trucks and SUVs, motorcycles, recreational vehicles (RVs) and pre-1981 classic cars (1, 2, 7).
Vehicle history reports[edit]
Before purchasing a used vehicle, potential buyers often consider the purchase of vehicle history and title reports and salvage check reports to understand a vehicle's background history. Users are generally interested in whether a vehicle that is being considered for purchase has been in a severe accident, had its odometer rolled back or has lemon history. Sellers of vehicles also check the history of their vehicle prior to listing for sale so they are prepared to answer questions to the condition of the vehicle or history events. Dealers often buy these reports that provide a detailed background on the used vehicle to show their customers. Dealers also run reports prior to acquiring vehicles at auction or from trade-ins to help insure they pay a fair market value. Vehicle prices may be adjusted due to history events on any particular vehicle.
A vehicle history report provides information and often detailed records associated with a vehicle's unique serial number or VIN.
Item | Description |
Title information | Shows if the vehicle has been reported to have been issued a negative title "brand" like salvage or junk that often come with severe accidents |
Number of titles | Shows the reported ownership history and the possible ownership changes |
States of title | Provides the states that the vehicle has been reported titled or registered in previously |
Salvage or junk information from titles or other sources | Shows if the vehicle has been reported as a salvage vehicle by a state or has been reported at auction or junk yard |
DMV-reported odometer problems | Shows when the vehicle has been reported to having had its odometer rolled back or broken |
Lemon history | Shows if the vehicle has a been reported as a lemon |
Insurance total loss information | Shows if the vehicle has been reported as a total loss by an insurance company |
Auction history | Lets the buyer know if it has been reported at an auto auction |
Accident history | Shows if the vehicle has been in a reported accident or has sustained damage |
Air bag deployment | Shows whether or not the vehicle's airbag has been reported as deployed |
Mileage readings | Lists the odometer readings that have been reported for the vehicle |
Service records | Shows any reported service information |
State emission inspection results | Shows the results of a state inspection or emission results as reported by the state |
Warranty or service contract availability | Shows whether or not the vehicle has been covered by warranty or service contract |
A Salvage and VIN Check Report is an abbreviated version of a Vehicle History and Title Report, which helps consumers understand the severity reported damage associated with a vehicle. It identifies the reported title brands such as salvage or junk, or whether the vehicle has been reported a total loss by an insurance company. These reports can be obtained for passenger cars and light trucks, as well as motorcycles, RVs, heavy trucks and classic cars.
Vehicle History and Title Report data is gathered from multiple sources including State Departments of Motor Vehicles, automotive auctions, fire and police departments, salvage auctions, rental agencies, automotive recyclers, insurance companies, state inspection stations, manufacturers, and car dealerships.
In order to obtain a Vehicle History and Title Report, a potential buyer can go online to a reporting service provider and purchase a full report. Some services also offer a lower cost option for a Salvage and VIN Check Report, which has just the major damage history. Salvage and VIN Check reports can be accessed online from a number of companies, at varying cost. Used car dealers often provide a report upon request for a specific vehicle as part of the selling process. Consumers can check the validity and date of these reports by running their own report and comparing the results. Old reports may not contain the latest history as the reports are time sensitive. Typically, a consumer is most interested in whether or not the vehicle has been in a severe accident or has been branded as salvage, junk or totaled.
National Motor Vehicle Title Information System[edit]
The National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) is a program of the Department of Justice intended to keep and protect consumers from fraud and unsafe vehicles. AAMVA (American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators) operates the system now.[1] Federal Law has mandated businesses and agencies such as Insurance Carriers, State Motor Vehicle Tilting Agencies, Auto Recyclers and Junk/Salvage Yards to regularly report to NMVTIS. NMVTIS refers the public to a list of approved private vendors who sell vehicle reports from the NMVTIS database.[2]
NMVTIS contains title information from states as well as information from insurance carriers, auto recyclers and junk and salvage yards, including over 75 million salvage or total loss records. As of 2014, 96% of US DMV data is represented in the system. NMVTIS offers consumer access to vehicle history information such as a vehicle's current state of title and title issue dates, previous states of title, odometer readings recorded at the time of title issuance, as well as title brands and junk, salvage and total loss records.

Garlic Scape Pesto
Author Notes: Browsing at one of the local farms for strawberries I came across garlic scapes. They were so beautiful and since I have only used them once before I bought some. It was recommended that they be used to make a type of pesto apparently divine on new potatoes. In the end I mixed some of the pesto with sour cream, heavy cream and salt to make a tasty salad dressing. - DebS
Makes about 2 cups
- 1 bunch garlic scapes, chopped in 4 inch lengths
- 1 handful walnuts
- 2 tablespoons walnut oil
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- Canola/Vegetable oil (optional)
- salt
- parmesan
- Whir garlic scapes and walnuts in food processor (or blender I suppose) until finely chopped. Keep the food processor running and drizzle in the walnut oil and olive oil until a paste forms. Add parmesan and salt to taste. Thin with more olive oil or canola/vegetable oil until pesto reaches desired consistency. I left mine pretty thick.

I made this a few weeks ago, with olive oil and almonds - it was sooooo good. I bet the walnuts give a real earthiness. Will try next time I see scapes, although I fear they won't be around for much longer.

Optical performance test and validation of microcameras in multiscale, gigapixel imagers |
Optics Express, Vol. 22, Issue 3, pp. 3712-3723 (2014)
Enhanced HTML Acrobat PDF (2437 KB)
Wide field-of-view gigapixel imaging systems capable of diffraction-limited resolution and video-rate acquisition have a broad range of applications, including sports event broadcasting, security surveillance, astronomical observation, and bioimaging. The complexity of the system integration of such devices demands precision optical components that are fully characterized and qualified before being integrated into the final system. In this work, we present component and assembly level characterizations of microcameras in our first gigapixel camera, the AWARE-2. Based on the results of these measurements, we revised the optical design and assembly procedures to construct the second generation system, the AWARE-2 Retrofit, which shows significant improvement in image quality.

The Link Between Poor Diet and Depression
Registered Dietitian and owner of Tatalou Science point to new studies suggesting that the Mediterranean diet could help lower levels of depression.
Salt Lake City, Utah (PRWEB) July 03, 2013
Registered Dietitian and Founder of Tatalou Science Nathalie Chevreau, PhD, R.D., published an article today on Tatalou.com pointing to studies published in a new Reader's Digest article linking inflammation and diet to depression.
The article, titled "Lowering Depression and the Mediterranean Diet," speaks to the spike in depression levels among Americans despite the availability of anti-depressant drugs.
"This new theory that inflammation can cause depression is supported through clinical studies," said Chevreau. "Lifestyle choices, like diet, exercise and sleep seem be playing an important role, and we shouldn't be surprised by this."
Chevreau's company, Tatalou Science, offers natural health supplements designed specifically for women. Her products are largely based on the benefits and ingredients of the Mediterranean diet. One of the products, Bene-Fiit, helps women lose weight while providing increased energy while helping to suppress unwanted craving*. Tatalou's other product is called Brain Clarity, which Chevreau recommends for women experiencing a lack of clarity, fogginess or memory lapses*.
The full article, "Lowering Depression and the Mediterranean Diet," can be found at Tatalou.com.
About Tatalou Science
Tatalou Science was founded by Nathalie Chevreau as a natural health company with a simple, but profound, philosophy: Women are physiologically different than men with unique strengths and sensitivities. Nathalie earned her PhD in Chemistry at the University of Bordeaux, then completed her postdoctoral fellowship at Cornell University. She also has a Master's degree in Foods and Nutrition from the University of Utah. She is a Registered Dietitian and continues to work in various capacities, counseling women on weight loss and preventive health. As an adjunct professor in the Division of Foods & Nutrition at the University of Utah, Nathalie presents lectures to medical students and residents as well as students in the master's program. She has published several articles and presented research findings at numerous national and international conferences. Learn more at Tatalou.com.

Previous research has designed a generator with axial flux permanent magnet wind turbine power to 1000 watts, but the testing was still not in accordance with the requirements. With the rotation can only produce 400 rpm ± 200 Watt only. While the desired rotation speed of 400 rpm with power expected to generate 1000 watts. In making the previous generators are still many shortcomings that must be corrected, such as thick layers of stator which makes the distance between the rotor and stator further making the magnetic attractive force becomes weaker, and the placement of a magnet which is not good, which makes the distance between the magnet each shift. From the manufacture and testing of generator stator axial flux with 1.6 mm diameter wire email can be concluded that the testing of 200-watt generator with a load voltage of 10 volts is produced at 225 rpm rotation and 14 volts at 291 rpm speed, 300 watts at load generated voltage 11.5 volts at 232 rpm rotation and 15 volts at 289 rpm speed, 400 watts at load generated voltage 11.6 volts at 223 rpm rotation and 18 volts at 326 rpm speed, 500 watts at load generated voltage 14 volts at 258 rpm spin and 24.4 volts at 404 rpm rotation. From the manufacture and testing of generator stator axial flux wire with a diameter of 1.6 mm can email the conclusions drawn by changing the layer of fiberglass and wire diameter of stator email has generated a low speed axial flux generators is expected to generate 1000 watts of power. There needs to be further research on the influence of surface area on the coil, the influence penghantar length, wire diameter selection of the email, coil spacing, and number of coils are used so that it can generate power in accordance with the planning and calculation.

Japanese rocket puts spy spacecraft into orbit BY STEPHEN CLARK SPACEFLIGHT NOW Posted: February 24, 2007 A radar spy satellite impervious to darkness and a second-generation craft with optical cameras were successfully launched into space Saturday to begin top secret reconnaissance missions for the Japanese government. The radar craft is the second such satellite to be orbited in Japan's spy satellite program. Two other satellites with optical instruments were launched in 2003 and last year. The third optical spacecraft launched Saturday reportedly features upgraded imaging capabilities, according to Japanese media agencies. Liftoff of the two-stage H-2A rocket was at 0441 GMT (11:41 p.m. EST Friday) from the Yoshinobu launch complex at the Tanegashima space center. The launcher was fitted with a pair of 50-foot-long solid rocket boosters and four other smaller solid-fueled motors. The rocket flew south from Tanegashima before deploying its classified payloads into the planned polar orbit about 300 miles above the Pacific Ocean. Power-producing solar panels aboard the two satellites were to be deployed several hours later. The launch was postponed for more than a week due to poor weather conditions, which included low clouds, gusty winds and consistent precipitation. The gray clouds parted and winds diminished to finally permit launch Saturday afternoon, Japan time. Next for the secretive radar satellite will be the activation of its synthetic aperture radar equipment. The radar system sends radio signals toward Earth, and those beams are reflected back to receivers aboard the spacecraft. Because the radar does not require ideal ground conditions, the instrument can see regions shrouded in clouds and darkness. Experts believe the craft can see objects between five and ten feet wide. Less is known about the experimental optical spacecraft delivered into orbit Thursday. It could signal the next phase of Japan's space-based reconnaissance program. Cameras on the fleet's earlier optical satellites likely have a resolution of around three feet, which is comparable to most commercial remote sensing satellites currently in use. The newest optical craft may include upgrades in its instruments and cameras that could improve image resolution, but officials remain silent on technical details. The launch was the final step in the secretive fleet's full recovery from the loss of a pair of spy satellites during a launch failure in November 2003. Program managers split the second pair of optical and radar craft into two launches in the wake of the failed 2003 mission, and an optical satellite was launched alone in September. Saturday's launch also marked the return to dual launches for the program. With a full constellation of reconnaissance satellites, Japan now has the ability to gather imagery of any place in the world every day. It is believed radar and optical spacecraft orbit in tandem in Sun-synchronous orbits. The satellites are believed to be designed to operate in pairs in two orbital planes - one flying over during the morning and the other in the afternoon. The spacecraft launched Saturday were likely placed into the afternoon orbital plane. Using two Sun-synchronous orbits "effectively double(s) the number of imaging opportunities each day," veteran satellite-watcher Ted Molczan said in a 2003 interview. The spacecraft are operated by the Japanese government, which established the spy satellite program after North Korea fired a ballistic missile over Japanese territory in 1998. Japanese intelligence analysts previously relied on U.S. government reconnaissance imagery and commercial observation satellites. The satellites are publicly called Information Gathering Satellites by Japan's government, and officials have long touted the program's ability to provide aid in natural disasters and environmental monitoring. Critics say the program violates a 1969 Japanese law that banned military use of space assets. Upcoming launches for Japan include the nation's first lunar probe, which is set for blastoff in July. An advanced broadband communications test satellite should launch aboard another H-2A rocket late this year. |
