The effect of interstital Frank partial dislocations on the gradual degradation of 1.3‐μm double‐channel planar buried heterostructure laser diodes67(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.344999View Description Hide Description
The structure of defects occurring in degraded 1.3‐μm double‐channel planar buried heterostructure type laser diodes was studied in detail by conventional diffraction contrast, weak‐beam dark‐field microscopy and high‐resolution lattice imaging in a transmission electron microscope. The electrical activity of the defects was analyzed by means of the electron‐beam‐induced current. Device degradation is associated with the presence of interstitial Frank partial dislocation loops with a Burgers vector of (a/3) {111} at the interfaces between the InGaAsP active layer exposed after the channel etching and the first p +‐InP layer of the liquid‐phase‐epitaxy‐grown current‐blocking layers. No other types of defects were observed in the course of the present study. The implications of the latter finding are far‐reaching and lead to a new degradation model for the microstrctural changes associated with the gradual degradation of long‐wavelength lasers. A new degradation model is proposed, and laser diode design considerations for degradation‐free operation are given. These consdierations are twofold: the device structure should (a) not favor Frank partial dislocation loop nucleation and (b) suppress the dissociation of the Frank partial dislocations.
Spot‐size dependence in thermal nonlinear microcavities67(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.345000View Description Hide Description
We present a theoreticalmodel of a physically pixellated nonlinear interference filter illuminated by a Gaussian laser beam. The plane‐wave model figure of merit of a previous paper is redefined as a function of spot size, pixel dimensions, and the thermal conductivities of the pixel and substrate. We present detailed calculations of switching powers, and actual values are obtained for the cases of glass and polyimide pixels on a sapphire substrate. The theory predicts that switching powers of the order of less than 1 mW can be achieved for the polyimide‐sapphire combination and 10 mW for the glass‐sapphire combination. An upper limit of the order of 107 gate Hz/cm2 in an array of pixels is projected.
Theoretical evaluation of a short‐pulse electron‐beam‐excited XeF(B→X) laser using a low‐pressure, room‐temperature Ar/Xe/F2 gas mixture67(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.345001View Description Hide Description
A simulation code for an electron‐beam‐excited XeF(B→X) laser using Ar/Xe/F2 gas mixtures is described. The validity of the code was checked by comparing the computed results to those obtained in a previously reported experiment with a 65‐ns, 1.14‐MW/cm3 excitation pulse. Good agreement is demonstrated for sidelight fluorescence, laser waveforms, output power, and energy. Furthermore, the simulation code analysis suggests that the XeF laser can be operated effectively with low‐pressure (<1 atm) Ar/Xe/F2 mixtures at room temperature. A maximum intrinsic efficiency of ∼3% is obtained at a total pressure of 0.5 atm. Such a low‐pressure Ar/Xe/F2 laser gas mixture would permit operation of a scaled‐up XeF laser system since the intrinsic efficiency is as high as that with conventional high‐pressure (∼3 atm) Ne/Xe/NF3 mixtures.
Gain measurement of a CuBr laser by means of modified amplified spontaneous emission67(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.345002View Description Hide Description
A modified amplified spontaneous emission technique has been introduced to measure the radial distributions of the gain and the saturation energy density of the output of a double‐discharge pulsed CuBr laser. An asymmetric distribution of the gain was obtained. With the laser tube temperature at 420 °C, the peak value of the gain and the saturation energy density are 70 db/m and 85 μJ/cm3, respectively.
Fabrication and performance characteristics of buried-facet optical amplifiers67(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.345003View Description Hide Description
The fabrication, performance characteristics, and design rules of buried-facet optical amplifiers are described. Chip gain of 25 dB, gain ripple of <1 dB, and gain difference of ≤1 dB for TE- and TM-polarized light are observed. The gain ripple and polarization dependence of gain correlate well with the ripple and polarization dependence of the amplified spontaneous emissionspectrum. The performance of buried-facet amplifiers is comparable to that of cleaved-facet amplifiers with very good antireflection (R<10− 4) coatings. The buried-facet design reduces the requirement on antireflection coatings and makes the fabrication process more reproducible.
Development of high‐power chemical oxygen‐iodine laser for industrial application67(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.345004View Description Hide Description
A scaling up of kW‐class chemical oxygen‐iodine laser (COIL) is achieved. The key issues for the system design of COIL for industrial application is discussed. The scaled up COIL system of 1‐kW output power is now under trial operations. In these operations, a maximum output power of 1100 W, and a continuous operation time of more than 2 h with a power of over 500 W is recorded.
Multilevel model analysis of energy extraction from a KrF laser medium by short pulses67(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.345005View Description Hide Description
Amplification of short pulse KrF lasers is theoretically studied by using both coherent and incoherent interaction models, which consist of five vibrational levels in the upper laser state and a single repulsive lower laser state. The multilevel models predict a significant decrease in the saturation energies for short applied laser pulses. When the laser pulse width is extremely short (≤1 ps), the higher vibrational levels in the upper KrF laser state are repumped from the lower laser state instead of being extracted by the laser pulse. Since the small‐signal gain also decreases as the applied pulse width decreases, due to mismatch between the laser pulse and the KrF gain spectrum, the energy extraction efficiencies for subpicosecond laser pulses deteriorate significantly. For longer pulse widths (≥10 ps), population repumping from the KrF(C) state increases the effective saturation energy of the KrF(B) state. A steady‐state population of ≊28% relative to the B‐state population is estimated for the C state from recent experimental results of KrF gain recovery.
Characterization of waveguides formed by proton‐exchange in MgO‐doped and Nd:MgO‐doped LiNbO3: A comparison with congruent material67(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.345006View Description Hide Description
Proton‐exchanged waveguides fabricated in LiNbO3doped with 4.5% MgO and 0.1–0.2 % Nd:4.5% MgO have been characterized by prism‐coupling and infrared‐absorption spectroscopy. Single and multimode doped waveguides have temporally stable effective mode indices, and the refractive‐index profiles are identical to those observed for proton exchange in congruent LiNbO3. Effective diffusion coefficients for proton exchange in dopedx and z‐cut substrates have been estimated for waveguide‐fabrication temperatures in the range 182–235 °C. While diffusion coefficients for MgO:LiNbO3 and Nd:MgO:LiNbO3 appear to be identical, waveguides formed in the doped substrates have substantially smaller diffusion coefficients compared to waveguides formed in congruent LiNbO3, the magnitudes being down by as much as 50% for x‐cut waveguides and 37% for z‐cut waveguides. These results should prove of value when using the proton‐exchange technique to design waveguide lasers in Nd:MgO:LiNbO3.
A study of proton exchange in congruent single‐crystal LiNbO3 by atomic absorption spectroscopy67(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.345007View Description Hide Description
Atomic absorption spectroscopy has been used to determine Li+ concentrations in benzoic acid after proton exchange with x‐ and z‐cut LiNbO3 as a function of exchange time and temperature. The atomic absorption results, in agreement with our previous infrared spectroscopic and optical waveguide measurements, indicate that there is no evidence for saturation of the melt by Li+ at typical melt volumes.
Spontaneous emission in the uniform magnetic‐field free‐electron laser described by the ordinary and scalarized photons67(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.345008View Description Hide Description
As is the case with the usual free‐electron laser with a helical magnetic field, the uniform magnetic‐field free‐electron laser has both the fundamental and the higher harmonic‐frequency (spontaneous and stimulated) emission, where, however, emission with higher harmonic frequencies occurs only off axis. (The z component of the initial electron velocity defines the axis direction, which is also the direction of the uniform magnetic fieldB.) Here, within the multiphoton formalism, using both the ordinary and scalarized photons, we study only the spontaneous emission, into the fundamental and higher harmonic frequencies. It is proven that the use of the scalarized photons, whose advantage is that they simplify many calculations, is generally equivalent to the use of the ordinary photons. Specifically we find that the radiated energy, either total or partial (for a particular harmonic), scales linearly with L, the interaction length, and quadratically with B. The numerical analysis of the angular distribution of the spontaneously emitted energy indicates that, in addition to dominant on‐axis fundamental frequency spontaneous emission, we can have rather significant higher harmonic‐frequency spontaneous emission occurring just slightly off axis. So it appears that, at least in principle, not only on axis but also slightly off axis (higher harmonic) spontaneous emission could be used to stimulate emission from electrons further along for sufficiently wide electron beams.
Heat conduction from a heated particle placed in a two‐phase medium with a dispersed phase size comparable to the particle size67(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.344981View Description Hide Description
The steady rate of heat conductionQ from a heated sphere maintained at a constant temperature different from that of a surrounding two‐phase medium, which consists of an array of spherical particles of thermal conductivity αk and a matrix of conductivityk, is determined by a method of multipole expansion to O(φ4), where φ is the volume fraction of the particles in the array, and by a lubricationanalysis for highly conducting and closely packed arrays. The results of the two analyses are combined to obtain estimates of Q that are expected to be accurate over the complete range of α and φ. These results are compared with the predictions of an effective‐medium theory, and it is shown that the predictions of this theory are quite accurate over a rather wide range of α, 0<α<103, for the case of a simple cubic array, even at its maximum allowable volume fraction, but differ by as much as 60% for the case of a face‐centered cubic array.
Flow and temperature fields in a weld pool formed by a moving laser67(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.344982View Description Hide Description
In this paper a two‐dimensional model of fluid and heat flow in weld pools is considered and a solution methodology is presented that is based on a perturbation expansion with the Prandtl number as a small parameter. This allowed us to determine the temperature field efficiently and by using it to determine the location of the phase front to map the molten region into a semicircular region in which the Boussinesq form of the Navier–Stokes equations were solved. Doing so allows the domain to be represented with a much smoother phase boundary than is usual in phase change problems. The flow in the weld pool made with a moving laser shows vigorous convection on the solidification side of the weld pool and crowding of the isotherms on the melting side.
Particulate generation in silane/ammonia rf discharges67(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.344983View Description Hide Description
The rate of particle generation in a SiH4/NH3rf discharge has been studied as a function of the discharge operating parameter space, electrode geometry, and power supply coupling mode. Measurements of the bulk quantity of particles produced in the discharge reveal that the mode of coupling (capacitive or dc) as well as the electrode temperature significantly affects particle generation rates. Laser light scatteringmeasurements made as a function of the plasma power density indicate that particle generation abruptly ceases at a threshold value sufficient to induce spark breakdown at the cathode. Based on these observations, it is shown that particle growth in plasmas can be modeled entirely as a heterogeneous process. The initiation of particle growth is shown to be consistent with an electron surface desorption model involving vibrational excitation of surface clusters. Propagation of growth in the gas phase is shown to be consistent with an eliminative ion‐molecular condensationreaction, and the pressure dependence of this mechanism is exploited to estimate a value for the rate constants for SiH4 and NH3condensation in SiN:H particle growth.
Measurement of Hg 6p 3 P 0,1,2 state densities in the low‐pressure positive‐column Ar‐Hg discharge using 8s 3 S 1–6p 3 P 0,1,2 lines67(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.344984View Description Hide Description
The measurement method of Hg 6p 3 P 0,1,2 state densities using the 8s 3 S 1–6p 3 P 0,1,2 lines of less absorption has been developed, and the Hg 6p 3 P state densities on the tube axis in the low‐pressure positive‐column Ar‐Hg discharge of 12 mm inner diameter used for the mercury lamp have been measured.
Influence of the dissociation process of oxygen on the electron swarm parameters in oxygen67(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.344985View Description Hide Description
Previous theoretical studies assumed that the energy loss of a colliding electron has a discrete value for dissociative excitation of molecular oxygen. In the calculation of the rate coefficients for oxygen atom yields using the Boltzmann equation, the previous reports have used discrete energy loss values of 6.1 eV for A 3Σ+ u and 8.4 eV for B 3Σ− u . In this paper, we take account of the fact that the excitation to B 3Σ− u has a continuum energy lossspectrum and describe the effects on calculated swarm parameters that are important in the simulation of ozonizer discharges. It can be seen that the use of a continuum electron energy‐loss spectrum as opposed to a discrete electron energy loss associated with excitation to the B 3Σ− u state makes no significant difference in the calculated values of electron swarm parameters in oxygen. We also calculate the ozone yield as a function of E/N obtained from the analysis of the energy balanceequation. In this case, the partial cross section for dissociation via B 3Σ− u assuming a continuum electron energy‐loss spectrum can have significant effects on the atomic oxygen yields at different E/N.
Pulsed‐laser crystallization of amorphous silicon layers buried in a crystalline matrix67(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.346076View Description Hide Description
Ion implantation, employing Si, Ar, and Cu ions in the energy range from 275 to 600 keV, was used to form amorphous silicon layers buried in a crystalline matrix. Different layer geometries were produced, with 150–620‐nm‐thick amorphous layers, separated from the surface by 120–350‐nm‐thick crystalline layers. Crystallization of the amorphous layers was induced by 32‐ns pulsed ruby laserirradiation. Real‐time reflectivity and conductivity measurements indicate that internal melting can be initiated at the amorphous‐crystalline interface, immediately followed by explosive crystallization of the buried layer. Channeling and cross‐section transmission electron microscopy reveal that in both Si(100) and Si(111) samples explosive crystallization proceeds epitaxially with twin formation, the twin density being higher in Si(111) than in Si(100). The measured crystal growth velocities range from 15 to 16 m/s, close to the fundamental limit for crystalline ordering at a Si liquid‐crystalline interface. Computer modeling of heat flow and phase transformations supports the experimental data.
Amorphization and solid‐phase epitaxial growth in tin‐ion‐implanted gallium arsenide67(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.344959View Description Hide Description
The amorphization and recrystallization of tin‐ion‐implanted gallium arsenide were studied by cross‐sectional transmission electron microscopy. Amorphization occurred in the sample implanted at a dose of 101 4 ions/cm2. The interface between the amorphous region and the crystalline matrix is not flat. The amorphous region recrystallizes epitaxially with microtwin formation at 673 K. The amorphous‐crystalline interface in the sample implanted at a dose of 101 6 ions/cm2 is flat. In the deep region of this sample a solid‐phase epitaxialgrowth without microtwin formation is observed after annealing at 673 K. These structural changes were compared with the nuclear energy loss (damage energy) distribution simulated by the trim code. It is concluded that the amorphization of the sample implanted at a dose of 101 4 ions/cm2 is induced by the accumulation of damage energy; on the other hand, the amorphization of the sample implanted at a dose of 101 6 ions/cm2 cannot be explained only by this process. The contribution of stress at the amorphous‐crystalline interface is suggested.
Highly uniform ion implants into GaAs by wafer rotation67(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.344960View Description Hide Description
The influence of wafer rotation on implanted dose uniformity was investigated using thermal‐wave measurement to realize highly uniform ion implants into a (001) wafer. It was found that conically rotating ion implantation is an effective way to scramble the scanning ion beam during implantation by using an electrostatic‐scan implantation system with a specially designed wafer station. Furthermore, two‐fold ion implantation was employed to correct the dose inhomogeneity caused by the variation of the tilt angle across a wafer. Based on these considerations, a high dose uniformity of less than 1% across a wafer was achieved.
Force measurement using an ac atomic force microscope67(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.344961View Description Hide Description
Complete amplitude‐displacement‐frequency spectra for a lever of an atomic force microscope have been measured and used to determine surface forces in air. Two ac techniques were used to measure the shift in resonant frequency of the Ni lever, as a function of separation from a mica surface. A strong, short‐range force was observed for freshly prepared surfaces, implying a van der Waals interaction. A weak, long‐range force was observed after exposure of the surfaces for some hours, suggestive of a capillary interaction. The long‐range force appeared to contain a nonconservative element which increased on approach to the surface. The results have implications for surface‐force determinations by single tip displacement scans, and for imaging with force microscopes.
As+ and Ga+ implantation and the formation of buried GaAs layers in silicon67(1990); http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.344962View Description Hide Description
A buried layer of GaAs was formed in single‐crystal silicon by dual implantation of extremely high doses of As+ plus Ga+ at 200 keV, followed by furnaceannealing. The layer consists of polycrystalline grains with random orientation. Rapid thermal annealing, in the presence of oxygen, does not result in the formation of GaAs. Instead, Ga and As migrate to the surface to form an oxidized layer, which is separated from the underlying silicon by a thin layer of SiO2. Analysis of the samples with single implants of Ga+ or As+ indicates the oxides formed to be Ga2O3 and As2O2. Samples implanted with As+ alone have essentially dislocation loops after annealing, while those implanted with only Ga+ have mostly microtwins and precipitates. Up to 88% Ga and 62% As from the single implants and 31% As and Ga from the dual implants are lost during annealing. This is probably due to the migration of the implanted species to the surface and the subsequent formation of volatile oxides. However, such outward migration does not result in redistribution or broadening of the implanted species.

Today on Thanksgiving Day 2015, we are thankful to Military Warrior Support Foundation, for their kindness and for changing our lives in the biggest way. On Nov 18, 2015, our family received a mortgage free home, that was and is beyond what we could have ever dreamed of. Our cup runneth over of JOY and GRATITUDE for this foundation. The amazing people who work for this foundation have just blessed our socks off!! How can we ever say thank you enough?? We can't...Our families lives have changed now from generations going forward b/c of MWSF, Humana Military, US Bank and Five Brothers. We are so blessed by this foundation that my wife and I just wanna be apart of what they are doing, we would love to work with Military Warriors, play apart in these blessings and we want to continue to change lives, pay it forward and help these great men and women and their families. Its kind of like once you get a taste of this blessing, you just want to give it back. Pay it forward.
My family would also like to Thank God the Father, our Jesus Christ for this tremendous blessing and favor shown towards our family. We love you Lord!
The McAlister Family, (Jason, Lendie, Emmy, Jack and Sam)
MWSF awarded me a home in 2014, here I am 4th of July weekend in 2016 with a lock on my door and no notice. I'm scavenging for resources with my service dog. I am a Purple Heart recipient and they treated me like trash when I couldn't pay unnecessary fees on time due to being on a fixed income. This entire experience has been a nightmare that has left me homeless, hungry and alone.

After reviewing all the information i could find on this charity i have come to the conclusion that this is a very high speed program to help my battles out. My wife suffers from PTSD due to MST because of scum bag NCOs while she was downrange in Afghanistan and i am a medically retired army combat veteran that was injured in Iraq and we have 4 kids now. When we got out the army it was like we where case aside and forgotten about. The only thing i was ever any good at was taken away and my family suffered because of it. We racked up debt, rental judgment and are still living day to day as of now. I pray that the military warriors support foundation reviews my wifes case because we filed under her and we get into the program and a home for my family. I was raised to qork for everythjng butbim very limited due to my disability and my kids deserve a better future. This program for a mortgage free home and into this program. I would shout the name of this organization and be a honored to help them any way i could if they did this for us.

My name is Jesenya and I am a gold star kid. I sent this Non profit a message with some questions. They read my message but refuse to respond to me. I sent them a follow up message asking why they never responded to me and they continued to ignore me. Nice way to treat the children of our Fallen. I am going to look up the financials for them in detail. For a gold star kid to be treated this way, they obviously have no heart. Someone has to be making a salary here. So much for common courtesy.
Jesenya, Our apologies for not responding sooner. We did see your message and wanted to make sure we responded, obviously we forgot and that error is on us. We want to thank you for taking the time to reach out to us about our processes and why they are what they are. Our selection process is inline with our mission statement of serving combat wounded veterans, and in that line of service we award mortgage-free homes to the unmarried surviving spouses (Gold Star spouse) of an armed forces service member who was Killed-In-Action. Our vetting process and selection process strictly observes OFFICIAL MILITARY DOCUMENTATION on who the next of Kin is and who is listed as the spouse of the deceased. Please note, upon further consideration, supporting documentation for all listed tours, awards and decorations will be required. A copy of the D1300 and DD2064 would also be required. Our programs are designed to ease the combat wounded veteran & unmarried Gold Star spouse back into civilian life. Our veterans have seen the world through a lens that we cannot possibly imagine. Below are several organizations that do provide varying levels of financial assistance. They each have their own criteria, so you'll have to do a bit of research to find the programs that fit your situation.

MWSF has a good mission but led by crooks who take advantage of the organization and becoming millionaires. CEO and VPs get crazy salaries, paid family trips complete with massages, dinners, etc, car allowances, insurance, etc. If you question anything....middle managers are paid off with a 5K-10K bonus and it just continues. To top it all off, their CEO is NOT what he claims to be.....do a simple search of military records and you can find that out!

Where do i start, I been with this program for about a year now. Since i been in the program I one person got fired, another one quit. My mentor is ready to quit, she don't like the way they tell her to handle her veterans. I live in a hotel more then my house, the house shouldn't been give to anyone. To get anything done for the house it take three to four months. by the time they ready to start repair your home it would of cause more damage to the house. Program Manager Family Transition & Mentoring, which is a new person but couldn't due their job as a Family Financial Coordinator | Family Transition. If you want to give to someone there another charity just like this, which is way better. Oh......... I must add check into the house once you get it, you will found out that you owe back taxes, you have fines on your home. The home warranty not paid, so when you trying an fix things without them you can't.

Military Warrior Foundation has been a HUGE blessing to us. Between them and Operation Homefront these two organizations surpass every kind of word that could describe awesome!!! The ONLY one thing that we wish is that they could stay in more contact with us after blessing us with our BEAUTIFUL home! However, they have done SOOO much more for us than WWP! And you can see it, especially with the new program that they have coming out with vehicles for veterans... Like really.... Who does that??? Who besides this organization has shown this much LOVE and care for our brave men and women?? So far just two that I've seen, and one is Military Warrior foundation!

Free Energy tonight at Triple Rock
Free Energy, courtesy of their Myspace page, photographed by.
All right, okay-- we were rather hard on Free Energy last time we told you about them. We were full of vinegar and stress. We hadn't showered in days, and our own smell was beginning to offend us.
Granted, not a lot about our circumstances has changed. It's one in the afternoon and we're quietly stirring whiskey into our coffee to get through the day. But we want to make it fully clear that, when it comes to Free Energy and their new ultra-slick glam sound, we are more than prepared to eat our bitter words of past days.
The ex-Hockey Night members, now backed by the excruciatingly hip DFA Records, are embarking on a sparse scattering of summer shows, and kudos to them for picking their former hometown as one of the stops. It's a long way from Phillie, and a bit of a pain in the ass to get here, particularly when one acknowledges, as one must, the fact that there are more than a few in town who remember the, oh, let's call it "ancient nastiness."
But they've found themselves on an outstanding bill, featuring Picked to Click-ers His Mischief, dance DJ extraordinaire Soviet Panda, and wunderkind of Pets and Melodious Owl fame, now operating under the name S. Funckee.
It's a great Thursday line-up, and douchebag factor should be excedingly low at the black box on the West Bank, as the Beyonce show should be keeping all bachelorette pub crawls to a scant minimum. Well, for a while anyway.
To boot, it's an affordable show, particularly for a touring band on a reputable label. With a line-up like this, we defy you to have more fun for $8.00 anywhere in town tonight.
18+. 9:00 P.M. $8.00. Triple Rock Social Club, 629 Cedar Avenue, Minneapolis; 612.333.7399.

How can the internal temperature of a roast get higher than the oven temperature? I have seen recipes that cook pork at 120 degrees C and get the internal temp much higher than that.
Besides a unit of measure mistake, It is possible to get this kind of read-out, even with accurate thermometers. Though the roast can not be hotter than the oven, no more than a bowl can be hotter than the soup it holds.
Possible causes:
This is vanishingly unlikely (that is to say, practically impossible) under the laws of physics. Without an exothermic reaction in the food product (which would release heat), it is not possible, and no such major reaction exists in any meat.
The recipe must be badly written, or you have misread it.

No, the upgrade version will not work with a trial version of any previous Windows OS.

Any idea why that is? I've saved all my settings before the switch to the main theme so what else could it be? Thanks

Sutherland Asbill and Brennan LLP started as an Atlanta tax firm
and has grown to include offices in London, Geneva, Washington, DC,
New York, Houston, Austin, and Sacramento. The firm has
embraced a wide array of practice areas, covering corporate, energy
and environmental, financial services, insurance, intellectual
property, litigation, real estate and tax
Tax Men and Soldiers
In 1924, William Sutherland, a former clerk to Supreme Court
Justice Louis Brandeis, launched a tax specialty firm in Atlanta
with fellow attorney Elbert Tuttle. Later, Tuttle helmed the firm's
pro bono counsel efforts in Johnston v. Zerbst, the U.S.
Supreme Court case that helped establish the right to counsel for
indigent criminal defendants. In his post-Sutherland days, Tuttle
also served as an appellate court judge and was awarded the
Presidential Medal of Freedom by Jimmy Carter.
Firm namesake Joseph Brennan, who joined the firm in 1928,
expanded Sutherland's tax practice by navigating clients through
New Deal legislation. The firm branched out early in its history,
opening a Washington, DC office in 1937 and becoming one of the
first national law firms. With the outbreak of World War II, only
two partners remained behind as a large number of the firm's staff
left to fight overseas, several returning as decorated soldiers.
After the war, Sutherland branched into real estate, insurance,
education litigation and corporate law with the help of Mac Asbill,
who joined the firm in 1949.
In the next few decades, Sutherland built departments in
financial services, technology and energy, notably representing
Northwest Pipeline Corporation in its bid to build the Alaska
Natural Gas Pipeline in the 1970s.
Sutherland has continued its tax work, taking on wealthy textile
mogul John D. Hollingsworth as a client. Former partner Margaret
Richardson was tapped by President Bill Clinton to head the IRS,
and the firm serves as tax counsel for the Altria Group, parent
company to Philip Morris. The firm also has an active M&A
Looking into the Future
New associates are integrated during a two-day orientation
program and are assigned a formal mentor during their first
practicing year after joining the firm. The in-house training
program named SABLE (Sutherland Asbill Brennan Legal Education)
allows for lawyers and clients to take part in the substantive and
skills-based programs that the firm offers year-round. Sutherland
attorneys represent a diverse range of clients, including 61
Fortune 100 companies and 90 Fortune 200 companies. The firm's
energy practice has grown internationally adding offices in London
and Geneva.

The Canadian Guitar Festival comes to Hugh's Room – Ed Gerhard & Erik Mongrain From Tokyo to Rome and venues across the US, Ed Gerhard's music has touched audiences all over the world. Performing on 6-string, 12-string, slide guitar or Acoustic Hawaiian Lap Slide, Gerhard captivates his audiences with virtuosity, generosity and sly humor. Known for his gorgeous tone and compositional depth, Gerhard can move a listener with a single note. Scott Alalrik of the Boston Globe said it best when he wrote "Gerhard does not write instrumentals. He writes songs only a guitar can sing."Gerhard's relationship with the guitar began at age 10, when he happened upon classical guitar master Andrés Segovia on TV. "I'd heard all the pop music on the radio and maybe a little of that 60's folk stuff, but this was the first time I'd ever heard the guitar all by itself and the sound just instantly got me," he remembers. Ed finally got his first guitar at 14. His initial interest in classical guitar changed dramatically when he heard the music of bluesman Mississippi John Hurt. He quit lessons after the third one. He took some informal lessons with friends and learned by ear, slowing down LPs to half-speed to pick out the tricky parts. At fifteen, Ed was already beginning to perform in local church basement coffeehouses, playing solo and jamming with friends.In 1977 Gerhard moved to New Hampshire where he has resided ever since. Joining a thriving folk and acoustic music scene proved invaluable for the young guitarist. "There seemed to be no limitation on places to play back then, or more importantly, what you could play" says Ed. "You could play anything you wanted as long as people stayed around and drank." When Gerhard was not performing solo he could often be seen sitting in with other musicians. "I loved to play, it didn't matter if I was solo or sideman." During this period Ed began composing and arranging music for solo guitar, using a staggering array of alternative guitar tunings.Based truly on the quality of his work, Ed built his considerable reputation, beginning with his debut album "Night Birds" in 1987. It garnered a spot in the Boston Globe Critics Poll Top 10 Albums of the Year." Shortly after the album's release, Windham Hill Records included Ed on its Guitar Sampler (Vol.1). One of the highlights of the three hundred thousand unit selling Sampler, "The Handing Down" introduced the world to the beauty of Ed Gerhard's music. "That one piece made me a lot of friends around the world," Ed says.Ed has released his eighth CD "Sunnyland" in homage to his early blues heroes. He was awarded a GRAMMY® for his inclusion on the CD "Henry Mancini; Pink Guitar." Warner Brothers, MelBay and Hal Leonard have all released Ed Gerhard's music in books. His guitar work can be heard on recordings by Arlo Guthrie, Jorma Kaukonen and in the Ken Burns films "Mark Twain" and " The National Parks: America's Best Idea."Ed's CD "Luna" is featured in Acoustic Guitar Magazine's 20th Anniversary list of the "240 Essential Albums." "This soulful album of original compositions rich in melody, chordal complexity and stylistic variety proves why Gerhard is considered to have the most exquisite acoustic guitar tone on the planet." -Acoustic Guitar MagazineAlong with players like Ben Harper and David Lindley, Gerhard's unique approach to the Weissenborn (an acoustic Hawaiian lap slide guitar) is playing a significant role in reinvigorating interest in this somewhat esoteric but beautiful instrument. Ed's style of Weissenborn playing is unique in that he composes and arranges music for solo Weissenborn with beautiful melodies, complex chords and moving basslines, unusual for an instrument that normally serves an accompaniment role. Ed is featured in the book "Lap Steel Guitar" alongside legendary players like Greg Leisz,David Lindley, Jerry Byrd and more.In a true collaboration of guitarist and guitar maker, Breedlove Guitars released the "Ed Gerhard Signature Model" guitar. The guitar became one of Breedlove's best selling guitars and won the "Player's Choice Award" by Acoustic Guitar Magazine. Breedlove has just released a Gerhard Weissenborn copy in collaboration with Gerhard. Here they have combined traditional design with innovative features and contemporary wood combinations.Ed Tours in the US, Europe, Japan & Korea.Erik Mongrain is a unique and highly talented acoustic guitarist who can claim to be a master of a large number of styles using different techniques, approaches and textures. His style of playing and his compositions have earned him a considerable international fan base.Erik Mongrain (born April 1980 in Montreal, Québec, Canada) is a true innovator of acoustic guitar playing. He grew up in Canada and began to teach himself how to play guitar from age 14. Erik, who was influenced by the artists Michael Hedges and Don Ross, began to progress into a more acoustic and more complex style of playing. His playing adequately captures the emotion and variety of moods of the artist, as if he is at one with the guitar which is of course a rare talent and very difficult to replicate. He is now recognized as an innovative performer and composer who embrace the advantages of acoustic guitar amplification, unorthodox techniques and altered tunings while celebrating a gift for melody. During the last 5 years, Erik's compositional and performance skills exploded in sophistication, resulting in his dynamic "man-band" performances. Combining these developments with revolutionary acoustic guitar amplification techniques, he created a milestone recording unlike anything anyone had ever heard.One of his trademarks: The "lap-tapping" technique is astonishing to watch let along hear. Better than anyone, he is a true master of the lap-tapping technique based around the guitar lying flat as he hammers relentlessly on different parts of the strings to make unique sounds with rapid notes with this extra layer of percussion as well as harmonics. In late 2006, a live performance of his signature song "AirTap" became a featured Video on YouTube, achieving over 10,000,000 views on the former to date and remaining one of the highest rated music clips. He has released two albums but is really best experienced live.In 2006, Mongrain independently released his first album named "Fates". His second album "Equilibrium" released back in 2008 was a true reflection of this man's brilliance and stature amongst guitar enthusiasts. He has proven himself to be a top class artist.Released in 2012, his third album, entitled Forward, is a darker, more introspective work that aims to position Erik Mongrain as a film score composer.Erik Mongrain is a rising star in the world of acoustic guitar, and one can only admire his extraordinary talent. His unconventional music explores possibilities never before imagined, commanding the attention of amateur and professional guitarists alike.Request a reservation

Well as a waitress over the years, I've seen other pregnant women servers receive great tips on occasion, up to $100, even from complete strangers! I'm unsure if its out of pity, or support, or as a congratulations type thing but either way it's always a pleasant surprise.
Well at DH's restaurant this little old lady who is a regular customer asked to sit in his section and brought a garbage bag with her, and gave it to him and told him it was a present.
When he opened it, it had two of the most beautiful handmade crochet blankets I've ever seen.
I've never met this little old lady, but DH explained to me that she is around 85 years old, and has SEVERE arthritis in her hands and fingers. (To the point where they are bent and don't really "unbend".) Now I don't know how long crochet takes, but I would bet that she would have spent at least a couple weeks literally working her fingers to the bone to make these blankets for our daughter.
When DH told me this, I was moved to tears, more than I think a $100 tip could ever move me! (Not that either would go completely unappreciated!)
DH begged her to let him buy her meal for her as a "thank you," but she adamantly refused, and just told him to have me bring baby by the restaurant so she could meet her after she's born. I'm looking forward to meeting this nice lady Phyllis- even more than she's looking forward to meeting our LO.
Sorry so long, Just thought I'd share- have a great night ladies!

What Will Be Your K-Plan?
Your customized K-Plan will be made up of four components.
The Liberal Arts
International & Intercultural Experience
For more than 50 years, Kalamazoo College has served as a model among U.S. colleges in international study, research, work, and service. Through our Center for International Programs, K students study in nearly 50 programs on six continents. ►
As a culmination of all your learning at K, you'll explore a subject of your own choosing, resulting in an in- depth, graduate-level research thesis, performance, or creative work. ►
Kalamazoo College's distinctive approach to liberal arts education, the K-Plan, has four components:
- Depth and Breadth in the Liberal Arts
- Learning Through Experience
- International and Intercultural Experience
- Independent Scholarship
Full engagement in the K-Plan helps students accomplish these learning outcomes: to know at least one field of inquiry in depth; to study a variety of fields of inquiry; to be able to engage in various cultural contexts in informed, meaningful, responsible, and respectful ways; to be able to learn effectively in a variety of settings; to be able to integrate theory and experiences through reflection; to respect personal and cultural differences;to be able to communicate effectively in both written and oral forms; to be proficient in at least one second language; and to be able to think critically, reason analytically, and solve problems skillfully.
"I've always loved the K-Plan. I think it's a brilliantly balanced education. I have to say I like it best in its classic form: broad liberal arts coursework, a career development internship, study abroad, the SIP."
–Andy Mozina, Professor of English
While at K and through the K-Plan students are encouraged to develop: a lifelong passion for exploring new ideas; career readiness, based on multiple hands-on experiences including internships, externships, mentorships, and service learning; intercultural understanding, an awareness of different ways in which people experience and organize the world and an openness to learn from these; a clear sense of social justice, and willingness to become involved; and leadership as characterized by the ability to envision new possibilities and then inspire and organize people to achieve them.
Each student's K-Plan will be a highly individualized, highly experiential curriculum that enables him or her to focus on, and make the very most of, his or her unique interests and gifts. At K – within an attentive and supportive community – students receive guidance as they clarify academic and career goals while constructing their version of the K-Plan so as to reach their full, unique potential.
As it has for the past half-century through the K-Plan, Kalamazoo College continues to be incredibly effective at helping enterprising students develop the knowledge and skills, self-reliance, resourcefulness, and global perspective they need to understand our richly diverse and increasingly complex world, to be successful within that world, and to provide enlightened leadership in the 21st century.

Overall comfort is very good. I did feel a blister coming on after around 60 minutes of play but this normal practice for new boots. I've played one game and so far scored 1 goal, make of that what you will. If I can keep up that pattern I'll be the next Jamie Vardy before you know it. ... read more
As a employee at a mom and pop soccer store, I tried on a pair of these to inform customers of my personal opinion on the feel, touch, comfort, etc. The width was perfect for me as I have a wide foot and the design allows for me to slip on the shoe without having pressure near the middle of my foot. Touch was great and had nice padding for my personal liking. The comfort was outstanding and as soon as I put on the shoes the fit just felt right. The sock keeps your shoe in place and eliminates the unwanted slippage when you turn quickly on the pitch. Great shoe by Adidas. ... read more
The product itself is good. Its uncomfortable at the heel area. I recently purchased a ZX 750 from your Adidas store in Perth. This model is so much more comfortable on the feet. The narrower profile of the Mundial is not recommended for heel comfort. ... read more
The quality of the product is good, but you could buy another boot and not notice the effects of all of this expensive tech used with the 100,200 + priced boots. It's ridiculous how much football boots are now. ... read more
These shoes are great for all the soccer aspects, but sadly I can't use them because the backstay/heel counter is not curved enough and/or has enough padding to prevent my heel from sliding up and down, causing rubbing and thus blisters. My previous adidas shoes were the nitrocharge, and they did not have this problem ... read more
You will not regret buying it. It is everything you want, quality, comfortable, and fits perfectly. If there is a downside, then it is the long tongue that should be shorter or foldable so that it is out of the way. ... read more
These boots are just what I was looking for. You can no longer find plain black football boots and these were perfect. They were soft leather and very comfortable. I've worn them a few times already and they are still like new ... read more
These shoes facilitate precision and accuracy. I also feel more confident when turning quickly. They grip the field well. The ankle is higher than most. It almost held me back from purchasing because of a few reviews. After playing for 90 minutes, the Mundial Team Turf is undoubtedly the best soccer shoe I've ever owned (I'm 39). What I like most is that I can play on various surfaces. Glad I made this purchase. ... read more
I have been a fan of Adidas trainers for 20 years now and have owned many pairs of "Astroturf" trainers, my last purchase were the silver "Messi" boots and I was really disappointed, the width was narrow to say the least and I had to return them, I looked at many others in the current range and found the same problem until I came across these, the width is perfect (I am a size 10.5 - 11) the length of rubber studs are great for a 3G pitch and the "sock" makes an encouraging support and comfort. A great pair of trainers. ... read more
The Ace 16.1 PrimeKnit Feels like a sock almost, the sock fits right to my Ankle, the boots are fit perfect to my foot. Another thing is that, the boots are Comfortable right out of the box when you first get them. I feel really feel confident playing in these on the field. ... read more
These boots are certainly some of the best, if not the best I have worn. I switched from Nike mercurial superfly IV and I think these are a much better boot in all aspects. The striking area is brilliant, the snug fit and awesome cushioning gives this boot extraordinary comfort. If you are stuck for ideas, definitely buy a pair of ACE 16+ ! ... read more
The touch on these cleats are amazing, and better than any cleat I have ever worn, including leather cleats. The Non Stop Grip really helps to give good grip on the ball, and the padding and texturing area near the toe is excellent for dribbling and trapping. Also, the primeknit collar and lace and the upper give good lockdown and make it feel like your cleat is connected to your ankle. Definitely the best cleat I have ever worn, and would recommend it to everyone. ... read more
At first I wasn't getting a long with the boot because the primeknit material is quite hard and doesn't mould to your foot so I recommend wearing them in a warm but not too hot bath and the boot will then mould to your foot much better ... read more
We ordered these for my dons birthday and had them personalised.he was delighted in his name being in them but the boots fir perfectly and the order came quickly and we were kept up to date on delivery ... read more
This product is amazing. I have purchased these boots before and I have have got them again. Last time I got these they lasted me 5 years. They are so comfortable that you can't feel them when playing football. They don't give you blisters. I would recommend these boots. ... read more
These boots are great. They are super comfy and great to play in. The only bad thing about them is that the silver metallic paint on the bottom of the boot eventually wears off but other then that they are grey ... read more

Do you know the difference between the Nation of Islam and The Islam of the Koran? The differences are huge.

Topic: Hear an audio clip of Louis Farrakhan calling for 10,000 men to war against the white man and kill for their cause. Topic: Usama Dakdok joins us to explain how the Koran actually ridicules the black African people group and yet the Nation of Islam embraces Islam. Why is this and is the Nation of Islam ignorant of this fact? Topic: Muslims and the Nation of Islam are united in their hatred of their enemies despite their many religious disagreements.

text: The Montezuma's Revenge wiki last edited by Jeff on 12/25/15 02:14PM View full history OverviewIn Montezuma's Revenge, players control Panama Joe in this exploration platformer.The player has a five-slot inventory shown at the upper left of the screen. Throughout the game, players can collect several items; color-coded keys, swords that defeat skulls, scepters that grant temporary invincibility, and torches that light up dark levels.Levels are sometimes variations on previous levels. For instance, Level 3 is very similar to Level 1, except with a couple of minor changes that make the level more challenging.On dark levels, none of the platforms ladders or chains are visible until the player finds a torch. This requires blind exploration, based on the general layout of previous levels, before locating the torch and revealing the platforms for the rest of the level. However, the last level of the game is entirely dark and no torches are available.Between levels, the player falls through areas populated only by gold bars and chains. The player needs to grab the chain before the end of the bonus area to land safely at the beginning of the next level.

This past Saturday at the Su'igaula Park in Utulei, beach goers and music lovers tuned into the sound and rhythms of young local musicians during the free Summer Jam Concert, an effort led by the Pouesi Family from Aua, and it brought out not only the young and some unknown talent, but some well known veteran musicians as well.
Samoa News spoke to various veteran musicians that attended the event, including Ulale Ulale (keyboardist/soloist) who said, "For me personally, this is a wonderful event especially for the youth and children on island. I'm thankful that someone came up with the idea and continued to push to make it happen."
He said, "Our young generation needs this type of activity, not only to showcase their talents, but to give them something to believe in and look forward to. I'm glad it got started, and I hope it continues because we're witnessing the talent and skills of our kids."

Ulale continued, "I think all of our businesses, the private sector and government agencies should consider sponsoring these sort of activities and programs for our youth – our people have music in their souls and if they don't have something like this to look forward to, then we're just neglecting their talents within the field of music and the possibilities of a future."
Another veteran musician who came out to show his support, Arona Nagaseu said, "So far I'm enjoying myself and loving the effort put together by these kids – I know that everyone in attendance and around us are loving the vibes coming out of our kids."
He added, "We really need to construct and coordinate more events like this — as we know how talented and musical our Samoan people are. I pray that these sorts of events will be much more supported by not only our people, but those with the power to financially support the coordination of such a program."
Samoa News interviewed Si'uleo Pouesi, the father of the Pouesi kids who led the effort of the Summer Jam Concert – and he said, "We've been thinking of a way to bring everyone together especially during the Summer to give our kids a chance to show their musical talent — talent that needs to be exposed – it's not something that should be thrown to the side or hidden."
Emphasizing the fact that the our young people should not hide or deny their musical talents, Si'uleo told Samoa News, "Just like sports and all the other programs that draw the attention of our youth – this is a great way for our young local musicians and upcoming talent to get together meet each other and share with each other ways and idea of taking music to another level – we should not neglect our children's talent and skills. God has different ways of bringing joy and cheer within our humanity, and music is one of them."
Si'uleo said a number of other musicians were involved in this effort alongside his kids, and that his kids' band has been alive and jamming for more than 6 years and is still going.
Reflecting on last Saturday's overall effort, he said, "I know it was raining this morning, and we had some doubts about the rain ruining our effort – but the sun is out, and it's a wonderful day for an event like this, I know God is with us."
Si'uleo said lots of different styles were on Saturday's musical menu including reggae, island-style, Samoan, and even some rap.
Acknowledging those who supported the effort, Si'uleo said, "I would like to thank some of the businesses out there who helped support us in this effort, and also individuals who played a big part in supporting us and bringing our young talent out to get exposure."
"God-willing that future efforts of this kind will be supported by the Government and people of our island, to promote our young musicians," he said.

FedEx Defeats Drivers Claims' Seeking Full Employee Benefits
FedEx Corp. drivers were found by a judge to be independent contractors in a nationwide series of lawsuits claiming the company treats them as employees and owes them full benefits.
U.S. District Judge Robert Miller in South Bend, Indiana, yesterday threw out claims of drivers in 20 class-action cases in California, New York, New Jersey and other states alleging the company misclassified their employment status and owed them back pay, overtime and other damages.
"We are very pleased with today's significant rulings from the federal District Court in Indiana," Maury Lane, a FedEx spokesman, said yesterday in an e-mail. FedEx, based in Memphis, Tennessee, is the second-largest U.S. package-shipping company after United Parcel Service Inc.
FedEx saves money by using contractors because it doesn't offer them the same benefits and vacation time as it does employees. The company has encouraged its contractors to consolidate routes and hire their own subcontractors in an effort to bolster its position that the workers are small-business owners and not employees.
The contractor model gives FedEx's Ground unit a cost advantage of as much as 30 percent over Atlanta-based UPS, University of Pittsburgh business professor Marick Masters has estimated.
Miller found that the drivers are independent contractors in 20 of the 28 remaining group lawsuits, and ruled in favor of FedEx on some claims in the other eight class-action cases, Lane said. In three cases, the court ruled against FedEx on at least one claim, he said.
Lynn Faris, an attorney for the drivers, didn't immediately return a voice-mail message.
Multi-District Litigation
The cases are part of a so-called multidistrict litigation, which allows suits filed in courts around the U.S. to be consolidated before a single judge for pretrial hearings.
Miller's ruling addresses whether drivers showed they were misclassified under each states' laws. In New York, for instance, whether an employment relationship exists turns on the degree of control the purported employer has over workers.
"FedEx doesn't have the right to control the drivers' means and methods of how they go about their work," Miller said in the decision. "FedEx's results oriented controls don't result in employee status."
The case is In re FedEx Ground Package System Inc. Employment Practices Litigation, 3:05-md-00527, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Indiana (South Bend).

At 27 years old, she's really showing her age.
That's how Anastasia Mosquito Control District staff describe the 1980s-era airboat that invisibly protects Ponte Vedra residents from the hordes of salt marsh mosquitoes waiting to hatch.
"We have to baby it," said Mike Smith, a biological technician. "This old girl has paid itself off 10 times over. It's time to put her out to pasture."
Wearing red fabric hose, pointy shoes and a cream-colored linen shirt, Andrew Batten looked more like a medieval peasant than a typical Spanish conquistador Saturday at the Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park.
Batten, of the re-enactment group La Compania de Juan Ponce de Leon, said that was the idea.
Most people associate the discovery of Florida with the founding of St. Augustine in 1565, but Juan Ponce de Leon discovered the peninsula decades earlier, he said, when the Spanish dress more closely reflected the medieval period.
A man was flown to Shands Hospital after he fell while stepping off a trolley around 4:30 p.m. in the downtown area.
The St. Augustine Humane Society reopened in December 2009 after closing its doors in November of 2008 because it ran out of money.
The city is saturated with reminders of its historic Spanish heritage, but one county resident said there are few indications of its living Hispanic heritage.
Former resident Bryan Godwin remembers driving down the beach to "the cup," a favorite fishing spot at Matanzas Inlet where he caught a lot of whiting, bluefish and "a shark every now and then."
But it faced another challenge after a break in Tuesday evening.
The building, located at 1665 Old Moultrie Road, was broken into Tuesday night or Wednesday morning and $565 in checks and $415 in cash were stolen, according to St. Johns County Sheriff's Office reports.In an e-mail to the Record, manager Sherrie Keshner said someone broke into the back of the building "and ransacked everything looking for drugs."
An Amber Alert is in effect for a missing Boynton Beach girl has been cancelled.
Authorties say they have located the girl and resolved the situation.
The Amber Alert was activated Wednesday morning when a potential abduction of a four or five year old girl was reported.
No further information is available at this time.
The Easter eggs were on the fields at Treaty Park on Thursday morning, and Sam Fertitta, 5, of St. Augustine was ready to pounce.
Holding a Lightning McQueen basket from the movie "Cars," he shared his goal: "Get a lot of Easter eggs because I'm fast."
"I'm super fast," he said.
"You see a theme?" mom Kim Fertitta joked.
The Fertitta family, which also includes Dominic, 2, were three of about 300 who came to the park for the county's annual Easter egg hunt.
A semi truck rolled over just across the Duval County line on U.S. 1 Tuesday morning.The truck was traveling southbound on State Road 5/Philips Highway near 6 a.m.
Saturday was the first time Chrissy Merrill, James Merrill Jr., James Merrill III, 4, and Lucas Merrill, 3, all of Palm Coast, had been to the popular Rhythm and Ribs Festival.
But 3-year-old Lucas already knew exactly what he wanted to do -- if not immediately, as soon as possible.
"We're going up there!" he said, pointing at a colorful, two-story, blow-up slide. "The big slide house."
Mom Chrissy Merrill laughed a little as she told him he had to wait until after dinner came: the event's trademark barbecue ribs plus barbecued pork, beef and chicken.

Fertiliser palm oil is really a fortunate sharing from nature, especially in its purest player virgin word. I am not alert of a statesman varied oil. Produced from unsalty food meat (non-copra), without the use of chemicals or soaring energy, it retains highschool levels of antioxidants and health-giving properties. A fragile coco smell and savour is attribute of the virgin oil.
Do not equivalence organic palm oil to the advertizement rating oils prefab from copra. These oils are typically sophisticated, colorless and deodorized. But there are some prestigious companies that food expeller pressed mincing coconut oil the "old" way with machine extraction. That effectuation they do not use resolvent extracts. The oils they expose are not hydrogenated and do not hold trans fat acids. Since they are deodorized (with tangible processing) the appreciation tends to be bland.
It is unexceeded to buy from a honored complement since there are not some industry standards in the processing of the oils.
The many benefits of using coco oil permit:
Excellent for cooking & hot
Reduces rubor
Supports hunch upbeat
Balances sterol
Improves thyroid usefulness
Supports unit experience
Increases vigor and toughness
Improves digestion
Supports unsusceptible work
Antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiviral
Kills candida, parasites and different microorganisms
Aid in preventing gingivitis and dentistry disease
Rind conditions (dandruff, dermatitis, psoriasis, eczema, plant infections, comedian)
Rind protection
Textile tending
Coco oil was widely old antecedent to the 1950's. Due to its steep concentrated fat noesis it drop out of spare because it was believed to increase the probability of pump disease. The opposition is now legendary to be truthful. Containing line unit superfatted acids (MCFAs), this oil has numerous eudaemonia benefits especially for the intuition and endocrine. Regulating the endocrine and equalisation sterol levels are vindicatory a twosome of its impressive benefits. Exaggerated sprightliness and endurance hold been widely reportable as considerably as unit failure due to Oppositeness to what we screw been led to consider, studies jazz demonstrated it is actually angiopathy and not sterol that leads to nerve disease. I advocate food oil to clients who know arthritis or courageousness disease because rousing is a contributive constant to these conditions. Ever inquire your theologizer before turn any unaffected postscript protocol.
Palm oil has also been used successfully for periodontal disease which is other contributing factor to intuition disease. Away from beingness an opposing inflammatory, this oil is also bactericide, healthful and medication. Having these properties explains why it is advantageous against bacterium that effort gum disease.
Due to caprylic dot, a occupation string fat pane derivative from the oil, it has been shown to be advantageous in the direction of candida (leaven overgrowth) and otherwise plant kin health conditions. You rarely see women with candida infections in cultures that eat a coco supported fasting.
The uses and benefits in strip help are numerous. Administer the oil as a braving remove, body lotion, cosmetic remover, scalp management and to supply a show of wound infections and strip disorders. Burns and nettled peel are quickly soothed. Try it out for natural chemical liberated ointment aegis.
Spell it is not a nostrum for everyone, it is certainly an loose and luscious way to struggle some illnesses and diseases. I oftentimes wonderment how umpteen illnesses it prevents.
Cooking and hot with supererogatory virgin or expeller pressed food oil brings a wonderful breakable savour to foods. It is an spectacular substitution for vegetative oils, oleomargarine and butter in all your lover recipes. Unlike whatever added oils, it is unfluctuating at all temperatures, keeps for geezerhood and does not embellish venomous when used for preparation. You can prolong to fry and cooked your challenger foods knowing you are exploit a zen of intellectual eudaimonia. The oil changes from from jellied to clear depending on temperature.
Either unneeded virgin or expeller pressed oil can replace butter in most cooking and baking recipes. The supernumerary virgin oil has many of a food savor and the expeller pressed is quite bland.
It is sensible to merged this oil tardily into the fast. Due to its medicine, antimicrobial and medicine benefits, irritating detox symptoms can occur as microorganisms are last off.
I praise turn with one teaspoon and slow excavation up to a peak of 2 or 3 tablespoons a day. If you ingest more than that your liver might not be able to comfortably resource up with the detox. Center to your body. Everything in alteration.
coconut oil for hair treatment
Personally, I use about one or two tablespoons a day of the supernumerary virgin oil. I scramble eggs in the oil, add it to playwright, quinoa, stewed gramineae, saute yams and potatoes. It's a enthusiastic alternative to butter on intact cereal breads and wonderful for stirfry. Try adding it to your smoothies for a illuminate coconut savor.
