Feeling swamped by all the tasks at hand? Here are 11 easy ways to accomplish more and avoid the feeling of being overwhelmed.
I am not one of those full-of-energy, get-a-million-things-done-in-a-day types. So when I told my family and friends I planned to quit my full-time job to start freelancing, I wasn't met with a rush of support.
In fact, I heard things like: "You know, being self-employed is really hard work," and "Do you think you're organized enough for something like that?"
Then, there was my personal favorite: "Well, at least you'll get to take those afternoon naps you love."
That was almost a decade ago. Today, I'm still freelancing, and I get a lot more done in a day than I used to. It took some trial and error, but I found a few ways to power through and still have time to do the stuff I enjoy.
Here are 11 tips I have learned for getting stuff done:
1. Keep multilevel to-do lists
I'm a huge believer in to-do lists. However, a long, cluttered one of everything you want to accomplish will only make you feel bogged down.
To keep things organized, group your to-do lists into categories. For example, I have a work to-do list divided into:
- Projects that need completion
- Business meetings and emails
- Accounting tasks
I also have a separate personal to-do list organized by chores, errands and appointments.
2. Prioritize
If your to-do list is three pages long, you're probably creating too many tasks.
I struggle with this myself. I'll write down everything from an important meeting to laundry. Then, when I can't get to all of it, I feel frustrated.
To combat this, I write down everything I think I should do in a week, and then I go back and cross out what really doesn't matter. Do I need to write down laundry? Probably not. I'll just do it when I run out of clean underwear anyway.
After that process, my list is focused and I get a little mental boost from already having tasks checked off.
3. Use a timer
Most people are guilty of distracting themselves and procrastinating. It's easy to lose yourself digging into The Atlantic's archives or trying for the 300th time to beat a level in Candy Crush Saga.
To cut down on distractions, I use an online timer. For 60 minutes, I can't do anything but work on the task at hand. After the timer goes off, I give myself leeway and try the game's level for the 301st time.
4. Own your email
You are going to feel overwhelmed if your email box is bursting at the seams, you can't remember what needs an answer, or you can't find something important.
Instead, resolve to empty your inbox every day before you head home. Set a time to check your email, and act on it as soon as you open it. Answer it and delete it, or put it on your to-do list for later and file it away.
5. Delegate
Doing tasks yourself can save money. However, always remember that time — not money — is the most valuable resource you have.
Rather than spending all weekend learning how to repair a leak in your air conditioner unit or mowing your lawn, delegate such tasks to someone else. Save your time for stuff you enjoy.
6. Eat your frogs
This saying has often been attributed to Mark Twain:
If it's your job to eat a frog, it's best to do it first thing in the morning. And if it's your job to eat two frogs, it's best to eat the biggest one first.
Most of us avoid the things we don't want to do and keep putting them off, which causes more stress.
Instead, learn to tackle your least favorite task first thing in the morning. Once it's out of the way, the dread won't slow you down anymore and you'll get more accomplished.
7. Make a playlist
Music can work wonders for your productivity. I've found that if I listen to music that makes me happy at work, I'm better at my job. If I listen to music that makes me feel calm, I have an easier time doing chores at home.
Find your tunes, make a playlist, and let the music help you get through the day.

Ghost Towns of Muskoka by Andrew Hind
Book DescriptionGhost Towns of Muskoka explores the tragic history of a collection of communities from across Muskoka whose stars have long since faded. Today, these ghost towns are merely a shadow -- or spectre -- of what they once were. Some have disappeared entirely, having been swallowed by regenerating forests, while others have been reduced to foundations, forlorn buildings, and silent ruins. A few support a handful of inhabitants, but even these towns are wrapped in a ghostly shroud. But this book isnt only about communities that have died. Rather it is about communities that lived, vibrantly at that, if only for a brief time. Its about the people whose dreams for a better life these villages represented; the people who lived, loved, laboured, and ultimately died in these small wilderness settlements. And its about an era in history, those early heady days of Muskoka settlement when the forests were flooded with loggers and land-hungry settlers.

Despite the prominence of the kidney in the pathology of diabetes, its role in insulin metabolism and the role of insulin in renal physiology did not receive the early concentrated attention which was accorded the liver or muscle. This lag was due partly to the traditional view of the kidney as an excretory rather than a metabolic organ and partly to the lack of sensitive investigative techniques. Revolutionary developments in assay methods, as well as recent observations on patients who underwent dialysis and nephrectomy, have stimulated investigations which are clarifying obscure facets of insulin-kidney interrelationships.
In a study by radioimmunoassay, Chamberlain and Stimmler1 found the renal arteriovenous concentration difference of insulin to be approximately 29%. This figure, which is far in excess of what would be expected with glomerular filtration, strongly suggests that most of the filtered insulin is reabsorbed or destroyed in the tubules. Summarizing present knowledge of

Developing a healthy relationship
Everyone heard the story about the prince who marries the town maiden. Or the handsome eligible bachelor who could have any girl he wants, nevertheless who falls in love with an ordinary woman who is difficult to deal with. At the wedding, the guy feels like luckiest guy in the universe. Meanwhile, his family is popping antacids wondering, "Why her?" Then the speculation starts: "Is it the cooking? Is it the sex? Did she brainwash him?" What they are dying to do is pull the guy aside and ask him point-blank, "Why are you marrying such a bitch?"
Four years ago, after my 36th birthday party once again I ask myself a question, "Why are you still single?" I was never a kind of women that would chaise a man and push him into a commitment. Nevertheless, I have always wondered, "What is that one thing (or perhaps more) that blocking me from finding my soul mate? So, one day, I was in a book store and I could not take away my eyes from a title that said, "Why Man Marry Bitch?" I have to admit that I have never thought about any married woman being cruel or damn, instead I always have thought that they were most fortuned woman in the world. So, with curiosity of "what is behind this book title", I brought the book.
S. Argon is the author of the US national bestseller "Why Man Love Bitches" and "Why Man Marry Bitches. The author has contributed to more than thirty magazines, including Cosmopolitan and Esquire. Her books have been featured on prime-time sitcoms as well as on The O'Reilly Factor, Fox Magazine, and the View and are published in more than twenty languages.
In "Why Man Marry Bitches" S. Argon is not giving another "how to fetch a man" advise. This book captured my attention not by it remotely suggesting that I am incomplete until I find my "better half." This book challenges convention, broaden our understanding of why some relationships don't progress, and modernize the way we think, about how man chooses his soul mate. The author encourages woman who feel like doormats to develop a sense of independence.
When the author uses the word "bitch", the woman she is describing is not cruel or mean. Throughout the book the author uses "bitch" in a "tongue-in-cheek" (Argon 12) way. As the author claims, this term "intent to be satirical" (53) However, content of the book is faraway from actual meaning of this word, so I think the title of the book has to be magnetic for all types of woman, including married and single. In my opinion, married woman would "stay away" from this book as title offends her even in the context of the book "bitch" described as a strong, secure, independent woman. Therefore, the title of the book might drop down the number of readers that are concerned about the book cover. Moreover, readers of this book might be man as well as woman in order to understand both sides of conflicts in relationships.
The plot of this book is following. As a physiatrist and relationship expert, the author questions hundreds of man and woman in order to solve each and every aspect of relationship, leaving nothing unsolved. Throughout the book, the author draws several conclusions, attached with graphs of surveys that she researched over the past ten years. Every other page includes "Relationship Principle #" according to results of survey and different perspectives on a particular situation in relationship between man and woman.
The author claims that when woman thinks that she "need to need a man" (25) she is wrong. I agree with the author as I think woman should have sense of independence where she can see and perceive things with broader mind. For example, in the movie "Closer" Natalie Portman asks Judie Law, why he is madly in love with the photographer (played by Julia Roberts) "It is because she is successful?" "No. He said it is because she doesn't need him."(78)
Another interesting fact from the book says, " There is nothing more puzzled to a man than something he had to wait for, work for, or struggle a little bit to get." (40) Who would argue with that? Not me. I believe that men are natural-born competitors. When a man is in pursuit mode, he gets the same feeling he gets when he's playing a slot machine in a casino. He can lose ten times in a row, but he'll still be on the edge of his seat thinking, "I'm almost winning." Every time he thinks he is losing, all women have to do is "sweeten the pot." If his woman asks him to fix something, she makes him feel like a winner. If she convince him he had a great idea, he is winner.
In conclusion, "Why Man Marry Bitch" challenging woman and man to look beyond their capability of problem solving in relationship and make an effort to understand, to respect ones opinion, to open new challenges, to like and to love, but to always keep that " silky curtains" between two genders. No matter how equal and powerful each gender can be, there are always "break-points" when one could do not more than other and so one could need no more from other, however, still could love and cherish each other. Finally, "Why Man Marry Bitches? Perhaps man marry woman because ...
Once upon a time there was a princess. Along came a prince who asked her if she would like to ride on his white horse. She said, "I'd like to take a ride on your horse, but I cant right now because I'm a little busy getting my own horse. Go ride off into the sunset without me, and I'll catch up to you a little later." Suddenly, the prince is dumbfounded. He is never heard anything like this before. Something clicks inside him, and it starts a fire within him that he can't put out, because she doesn't need him. And then he says, "I have to be with her for the rest of my life."(225)

Comment Re:Globalization vs. Protectionism (Score 5, Insightful) 201
If you care about what's going on beyond your borders, why would you support so-called "free trade"?
Agreements like GATT, NAFTA and the WTO treaty simply give corporations a way to avoid all of the health, safety, labor and environmental protections that apply in the USA while maintaining their access to USA markets.
When you're importing those cheap foreign-made goods, you're exporting pollution and sweat shops. Some "protectionism" (a disparaging globalist term for a sensible policy) to prevent corporations from cutting costs through regulatory arbitrage would be a good thing for America and the world.

Right, let's get one thing clear - this film has nothing to do with Laurel And Hardy, okay?
Henry Hathaway's dazzling frontier drama from 1936 marks a bravura early performance from Henry Fonda, sumptuous three-strip Technicolor and a pretty vivid depiction of the trials and tribulations of America's pioneering days at the turn of the 20th Century. The first time that this emblazoned colour approach had been utilised for a production outside of a studio set, The Trail Of The Lonesome Pine was the winner of a Special Recommendation at the 1936 Venice Film Festival, but although nominated for an Academy Award for its original music and songs, it lost out to George Stevens' Swing Time. Somewhat overlooked these days and certainly over-shadowed by later Technicolor marvels such as Gone With The Wind, Quo Vadis and The Robe, this exuberant semi-Western is well worth discovering.
Hathaway was already an accomplished director, with The Lives Of A Bengal Lancer and earlier mountain-movie, Man Of The Forest with Randolph Scott, to his credit, and his profoundly visual approach to movie-making was to enjoy its most splendid opportunity with this outdoors yarn of passion and treachery until he got into the saddle with John Wayne for the likes of The Sons Of Katie Elder and True Grit a lot later in his career. With an excellent cast - his two leads were definitely on the up and up and the supporting roster was eminently reliable and just as colourful as the picture - he was able to conjure wilderness realism, strong characters and a narrative that joyfully see-sawed between jovial slapstick and rugged drama.
"Did they getcha, David?"
"No Falin could ever git me, Uncle Jud!"
The story is a ripe melodrama mingling tough talk, comedy, knockabout fisticuffs and familial odyssey, all set against the majestic backdrop of the Kentucky mountains. Based on the novel of the same name from John Fox Jnr, and adapted for the screen by Grover Jones, we have the bitter ongoing feud between two hill-dwelling families - the Tollivers and the Falins - and its violent escalation during a time of advancing civilisation in the form of Fred MacMurray's railroad company, who have set up camp smack-bang in-between the two warring clans. As heroic engineer Jack Hale, MacMurray forms the backbone of a plot that sees Henry Fonda's taciturn Dave Tolliver love, lose, and love again his cousin June (a spirited Sylvia Sidney) and regain his honour and redemption through a catalogue of loss and regret, and Jack's own small-scale prejudices get turned on their head by the deeds and customs of these simple hill-folk. When June falls for Jack's educated and practical charms, Dave's earthy demeanour and ill-fated blood-lust for his neighbours across the valley loses its mythical magic, and the family begins to come apart at the seams. June sees a chance to better herself and a weird sort of love triangle develops. Ma (Beulah Bondi) wants the fighting to stop. Pop (Fred Stone) just wants the family to stay together, ignorant of the staleness that his traditions have inflicted upon it. Somewhere along the way, a powder-keg has been lit and the resulting explosion will either tear the Tollivers apart or clear the air, once and for all.
It's an Old School yarn, to be sure, but its moralistic standpoint is cleverly skewed, and Hathaway makes sure to allow plenty of incident to tumble down the mountainside on the way to its poetically cathartic denouement.
I've never been a fan of Henry Fonda. Despite all those earnest roles that he's played, I've always found him to be a kind of creepy actor. That skeletal face, those intense eyes and the sour line delivery that he often adopted leaving me cold to his plight, no matter how sympathetic I should be towards the man he is essaying. About the only time I have ever truly accepted him was when he actually bit the bullet and played a bad guy right up-front, in Sergio Leone's awesome Once Upon A Time In The West. This is a purely personal thing, of course. I realise that he is still a wonderful actor - perhaps far more so than I give him credit for being, and probably for exactly the same reason that I find him somewhat uncomfortable to warm to. Even when portraying a decent, God-fearing fellow, he manages to eschew every stereotypical cliché because he adds this darker, more sarcastic and hard done-to element of flawed reality. Look at My Darling Clementine, John Ford's classic Wyatt Earp picture - with Victor Mature as a terrific Doc Holliday - to see what I mean about this proud American hero and Hollywood idol adding a layer of tension, vulnerability and even madness. Fonda has a calculating and coldly methodical manner that marks him apart from other contemporary leading men of his era. As Dave Tolliver, he almost comes across as the villain of the piece - which he is not at all. Yet, right from the word go, his acerbic drawl and hard-nosed attitude leaves you under no illusion that this woodsman is never going to be a bundle of laughs to be around. Yet there are definite moments when he produces some finely reined-in emotions and, come the finale, he will have attained such a folkloric stature of indomitable spirit that it is hard to be moved by it.
But, as I implied earlier, the film is carried more by MacMurray than by Fonda. The stalwart of many a noir, with the classic Double Indemnity standing out by a clear mile, MacMurray is totally at ease here as the big city hot-shot - his Jack is full of spiel, smiling know-how and a gift of the gab that can't help but see him run rings around the bumpkins. Yet the script opts to make him a lot more accessible and rounded than you might have thought his prime mover and shaker would be. His opening gambit about buying up the Tolliver's land is made much more plausible and his own character more endearing by both his playful fascination of June's impromptu mud-bath and his quick-thinking practicality in saving Dave's life after a Falin bullet has turned his arm gangrenous. His strangely honest and beguiling nature is totally at odds with the usual, money-hungry, land-grabbing businessman who would normally be portrayed as some invading infidel that the warring clans would unite to drive off, providing him with a true "prosperity for all" sort of allure. Rarely playing a bad boy - only Billy Wilder was able to get him to slink from beneath that nice-guy image with the critical hits of Double Indemnity and The Apartment - he is actually quite forceful and strong even when assuming his more common bread and butter genial roles. Jack never sets out to steal anybody's woman and he truly comes to care for the entire Tolliver family. His motivations are simple - he wants to build a railroad - but his methods are anything but self-centred. He becomes the conduit - wanted or not - for these cut-off communities to learn and grow. Once again, great American knowledge and technology is thrust upon a more primitive society, but in Hathaway's hands, the meeting is mutually beneficial, although the transition will still be painful.
"Fist-fightin' will do no harm. Gun-totin' just won't go. No hard feelin'?"
Fred Stone is terrific as the mammoth-snouted Judd Tolliver, full of loveable spit and whiskers, and down-to-earth as the ostensible leader of the Tolliver clan. However, since we are siding with this bunch, we can clearly see that he is nothing but a big softie at heart and his one moment of patriarchal sternness is credibly and movingly lost in the very next second, when we see him visibly crumble at his daughter's coming-of-age ability to make up her own mind even if it means going against his best intentions. Stone has the type of face and acting style that makes you think you've seen him in a thousand movies, playing nothing but gruff yokels - but this couldn't be further from the truth. He really only made a handful of films and most of these were riding on the shirt-tails of his performance here. But he is certainly a winning ingredient, perfectly embodying the grass-roots loyalty of a man who has no love for, nor apparent need for the outside world. Grandfatherly and amusing, he even makes his first encounter with a newfangled telephone a richer moment by virtue of his convincing unfamiliarity with it. Local crooner and adorable layabout, Tater (played by the wonderfully monikered Fuzzy Knight), wanders the woods with a song in his heart and a mouth as big as the Grand Canyon. His several misty-mountain ballads may stick out like a sore thumb, but in two pivotal scenes he nearly steals the show with his brilliant comic timing and rascally heroism.
Also caught up in all of this check-shirted shenanigans is one of Cinema's greatest bumbling buffoons, Nigel Bruce, who is not as daft as he would later become in virtually everything else that he would appear in. But fans of his blathering Dr. Watson to Basil Rathbone's Sherlock Holmes can rest assured that he is still the dithering fusspot of the piece as Jack's business partner, Thurber. However, there is one scene towards the end when, with just a haunted look on his face and a faint tear tracing a line down it, he actually winds up pilfering the emotional thunder from a very sombre sequence indeed. It is little things like this that reveal our enduring image of such character actors as Bruce to be ... well, incomplete, to say the least.
The direction and the photography is top-notch. Hathaway loves his environment and goes walkabout often, treating us to Robert C. Bruce's fantastically framed vistas and the evocative visual beauty of California's Big Bear Lake and the San Bernardino National Forest which are beautifully standing-in for the Kentucky mountains. Bruce favours experimental tracking shots and deep focus photography. Swift sideways pans and intuitive set-ups - for example, look at the shot of Thurber sitting in left foreground in his tent, whilst seen far right, through a gap in the entrance flap, is a worker resting in his own tent a long way off - ensure that the film always feels alive. Over and above the spellbinding colours, it seems positively vibrant with its highly mobile cameras and intriguing use of picturesque locations. But it is down to W. Howard Greene that the film manages to stake its claim as Paramount's first Technicolor feature and the premier production to take the process out beyond the studio sets. Having already supplied the pioneering work for the colour sequences on 1925's Ben-Hur and the wonderful double-bill of classic two-colour horrors for Michael Curtis, Doctor X in 1932 , and the original version of Mystery Of The Wax Museum in 1933, Greene was certainly the man for the job. Now working with three-strip Technicolor, he proved the scoffing critics wrong when they insisted that the process couldn't be controlled with the addition of the natural light to be found outdoors. The splendid log cabins are wonderfully enticing, too and look totally sturdy and comfortable. The Tollivers even have a majestic water-wheel that adds a terrific visual dimension to a couple of scenes. I'm not so sure about the blink and you'll miss it Winter-time montage, though. Personally, I would have loved more snowbound footage.
Even though they went uncredited, Gerard Carbonara and the great Hugo Friedhofer supplied a suitably raucous and ballsy score for the film. Friedhofer would go on to compose classic scores for Gregory Peck's dark revenger in The Bravados (alongside Alfred Newman), Sophia Loren's American movie-debut in Boy On A Dolphin and the interesting Steve McQueen/Frank Sinatra combo in the WWII drama, Never So Few - but he was one of those people who seemed to shun the limelight, often helping to propel other composers to fame. His collaboration here, with Carbonara, is lusty and full-blooded, mingling rustic charm with the surging sweep of the wild.
Thus, with all these luminaries on-board, Lonesome Pine had a wonderful roster of professionals behind the camera as well in front of it.
It is refreshing to see such a highly romanticised view of hill-folk being depicted, especially after years of enduring red-neck cannibals, inbred mutants and primitive psychopaths maiming and torturing trespassers on their land. The Tollivers and the Falins (led by swarthy ogre Henry Brandon, who would go on to become infamous as the vicious Comanche chief, Scar, in John Ford's immortal The Searchers) may be lumpen, back-breaking precursors to the likes of the Clampets, and even the Dingles of Emmerdale (!), but there is a queer sense of pride and honour, and an admirable resilience to their commitment to furthering a feud the cause of which both sides have almost entirely forgotten about. With its whirling punch-ups in the dust, dynamite-murders, aggrieved stand-offs and pine-log sniper-shots, The Trail Of The Lonesome Pine doesn't forget to add lots of action to its already packed itinerary ... making this vintage drama a Technicolored breath of fresh air.

Willy vs. Charley: The Impact of Parent Relations
A person's outcome in life is often a reflection of their childhood, or how they grew up. The different ways a child is treated by their parents may later affect the amount of grit he or she has, therefore affecting their later success in life. In the book Death of a Salesman by Arthur Miller, Biff, Happy and Bernard each grew up in different ways. Although Biff and Happy grew up in the same home, their father, Willy Loman, treated the boys differently, and therefore their views on life as adults turned out slightly dissimilar. Willy and Charley's relationships with their sons contradict each other and therefore affected their son's future successes in different ways.
Willy Loman loved his son, Biff, more than anything in the world. As Biff grew up, Willy constantly praised him and treated him as if he was the greatest boy who'd ever lived. Because of this, Biff did not think he would have to try hard to become successful. Biff was failing math because he was too preoccupied with football. Bernard, the Loman's neighbor, was very intelligent, but not popular. Bernard gave Biff most of the answers the entire year, and offered to help Biff with his math. Biff was not too concerned with seeking Bernard's help simply because Willy does not make it seem important. When Bernard first tells Willy that Biff is at risk of failing, Willy denies the idea immediately: "What're you talking about? With scholarships to three universities they're gonna flunk him? Don't be a pest, Bernard!" Willy also gives the advice most parents would never be okay with: Bernard: "Where is he? If he doesn't study!" Willy: "You'll give him the answers!" Willy refuses to see the flaws in Biff because to Willy, being well liked is being successful: Because the man who makes an appearance in the business world, the man who creates personal interest, is the man who gets ahead.

About: Half-Life 2, like its predecessor Half-Life, is a singleplayer first-person shooter broken into chapters, and permanently casts the player as Gordon Freeman. The sequel has nearly the same mechanics as Half-Life, duplicating its health and weapon systems for combat and including periodic puzzles. The player also starts without items, and slowly builds up an arsenal over the course of the game. A similar diverse set of enemies is present with different tactics.

America's Kinder, Gentler Department of Defense
Cutting the military to fuel the welfare state doesn't instill fear in a nation's enemies.
The Department of Defense faces some stark choices in the future due to the threat of sequestration. But the continual sounds of shoes dropping at the Pentagon suggest that the sequester may be the least of its problems.
The first shoe was the announcement in December that Marine Gen. James Mattis would leave his post as commander of Central Command in March, well short of what would be expected of a combatant commander who has acquitted himself well since he was appointed in August 2010. Most observers were stunned....

SHANGHAI — Shanghai Gold Exchange and Dubai Gold and Commodities Exchange signed an agreement on Friday in Shanghai that makes the Dubai exchange the first foreign exchange to use the SGE's renminbi-denominated gold benchmark.
The SGE is in talks with other exchanges about similar cooperation, according to an SGE circular.
SGE is the world's largest physical bullion exchange. The renminbi-denominated gold benchmark, also known as Shanghai Gold, was launched in April this year. It is one of China's efforts to earn more say over pricing of the precious metal and increase its influence in the global gold market. …

Rapeseed or linseed in dairy cow diets over 2 consecutive lactations: Effects on adipose fatty acid profile and carry-over effects on milk fat composition in subsequent early lactation

During early lactation, milk fatty acid (FA) composition is influenced by diet, animal genetics, and the high availability of preformed FA from body-fat mobilization. Long-term prepartum dietary oilseed supplementation could, therefore, modify milk FA composition postpartum in the subsequent lactation through changes in adipose tissue (AT) FA profile. To test this hypothesis, measurements were made in 19 Holstein cows fed grass-based diets containing no additional lipid (control, CTL; n = 4) or supplemented with extruded linseeds (EL; n = 4), cold-pressed fat-rich rapeseed meal (FRM; n = 6), or whole unprocessed rapeseeds (WR; n = 5) over 2 consecutive lactations (yr 1 and 2) and 2 dry periods. Oilseed supplements were withdrawn from the diets 23 d before the calving of yr 3, following the end of the previous experimental periods in yr 1 to 2. Thereafter, all cows received a total mixed ration composed of grass silage, grass hay, and concentrates (forage:concentrate ratio of 70:30 on a dry-matter basis). Cows previously fed EL and WR had a lower milk fat content (6.32% for CTL and FRM vs. 5.46% for EL and WR) and yield (1.90. kg/d for CTL and FRM vs. 1.61. kg/d for EL and WR) during the first week of lactation. Treatment effects on milk fat content and yield did not persist into lactation wk 3 and 7. Whatever the week, EL and WR increased concentration of FA in milk synthesized de novo (i.e., carbon number ≤15; 17.1. g/100. g of FA for CTL and FRM vs. 22.2. g/100. g of FA for EL and WR) and decreased concentration and secretion of preformed FA (i.e., carbon number ≤17; 56.1. g/100. g of FA for CTL and FRM vs. 49.9. g/100. g of FA for EL and WR). Alterations in milk FA composition may be explained by the lower availability of mobilized FA for uptake by the mammary gland, as indicated by the lower plasma nonesterified FA concentrations for EL and WR compared with CTL and FRM. Prepartum EL feeding increased AT and milk concentration of 18:3n-3 (0.96 vs. 0.79. g/100. g of milk FA for EL and the other groups, respectively) and intermediates of ruminal 18:3n-3 biohydrogenation. In contrast, FRM increased AT and milk concentration of ruminal cis-9 18:1 biohydrogenation intermediates. However, EL and FRM supplements resulted in a similar profile of 18-carbon FA isomers in AT (yr 2) and milk (yr 3, 4-10 wk after removing oilseeds from the diet). In conclusion, results confirm that long-term feeding of oilseed supplements alter AT FA composition and may influence milk FA composition during periods of extensive body-fat mobilization such as early lactation. © 2015 American Dairy Science Association.

Plant and soil intake by organic broilers reared in tree- or grass-covered plots as determined by means of n-alkanes and of acid-insoluble ash

Free-range birds such as organic broilers may ingest soil and plants during exploration. The estimation of such intakes is of great interest to quantify possible nutritional supplies and also to evaluate the risk of exposure to parasites or to environmental contaminants. Marker-based techniques are now available and would allow to quantify plant and, especially, soil intake in free-range birds, and this quantification was the aim of this study. Methodologically, the proportion of plants in diet intake was determined first using a method based on n-alkanes. Subsequently, the fraction of soil in the total intake was estimated with a second marker, acid-insoluble ash. This approach was carried out to estimate ingested amounts of plants and soil for five successive flocks of organic broilers, exploring grass-covered yards or those under trees, at two time points for each yard: 51 and 64 days of age. Each factor combination (yard type×period=flock number×age) was repeated on two different yards of 750 broilers each. The birds' plant intake varied widely, especially on grass-covered yards. The proportion of plant intake was significantly higher on grass-covered plots than under trees and was also affected, but to a lesser extent, by age or flock number. The ingestion of plants would generally not exceed 11 g of DM daily, except two extreme outliers of nearly 30 g. The daily plant intake under trees tended to be lower and never exceeded 7 g of DM. The amount of ingested plants increased significantly for spring flocks. It increased slightly but significantly with age. The proportion of ingested soil was significantly higher under trees than on grass-covered yards. Dry soil intake was generally low with not more than 3 g per day. Only in adverse conditions - that is, older birds exploring yards under trees in winter - soil intake reached the extreme value of nearly 5 g. Broilers on yards under trees ingested significantly more soil than on grass-covered yards with least square means of, respectively, 2.1 and 1.1 g dry soil per day. These quantifications would allow us to evaluate the impact of plant and soil intake in the management of free-range broilers, especially for the management in organic farming systems. Nevertheless, under the two rearing conditions tested in the current study, the quite low proportions of soil intakes would represent a low risk for the safety of the produced food, unless the birds explore yards on heavily contaminated soil. © The Animal Consortium 2014.

Journal of Alzheimer's Disease | Year: 2016
Oligomeric amyloid-β (Aβ) peptide contributes to impaired synaptic connections and neurodegenerative processes, and as such, represents a primary therapeutic target for Alzheimer's disease (AD)-modifying approaches. However, the lack of efficacy of drugs that inhibit production of Aβ demonstrates the need for a better characterization of its toxic effects, both on synaptic and neuronal function. Here, we used conditioned medium obtained from recombinant HEK-AβPP cells expressing the human amyloid-β protein precursor (Aβ-CM), to investigate Aβ-induced neurotoxic and synaptotoxic effects. Characterization of Aβ-CM revealed that it contained picomolar amounts of cell-secreted Aβ in its soluble form. Incubation of primary cortical neurons with Aβ-CM led to significant decreases in synaptic protein levels as compared to controls. This effect was no longer observed in neurons incubated with conditioned medium obtained from HEK-AβPP cells grown in presence of the γ-secretase inhibitor, Semagacestat or LY450139 (LY-CM). However, neurotoxic and pro-apoptotic effects of Aβ-CM were only partially prevented using LY-CM, which could be explained by other deleterious compounds related to chronic oxidative stress that were released by HEK-AβPP cells. Indeed, full neuroprotection was observed in cells exposed to LY-CM by additional treatment with the antioxidant resveratrol, or with the pluripotent n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid. Inhibition of Aβ production appeared necessary but insufficient to prevent neurodegenerative effects associated with AD due to other neurotoxic compounds that could exert additional deleterious effects on neuronal function and survival. Therefore, association of various types of protective agents needs to be considered when developing strategies for AD treatment. © 2016 - IOS Press and the authors. All rights reserved. Source
Adaptation of the lactic acid bacterium Carnobacterium maltaromaticum LMA 28 to the mammalian gastrointestinal tract: From survival in mice to interaction with human cells

Carnobacterium maltaromaticum is a non-starter lactic acid bacterium frequently isolated from food products. While this bacterium has been extensively studied in foods, very little is known about its fate once ingested. In this study the strain C.maltaromaticum LMA 28 was given to mice by intragastric gavage. Selective enumeration of C.maltaromaticum in the faeces showed that the bacterium is able to survive through transit of the gut. In addition, experiments showed that C.maltaromaticum is able to adhere to Caco-2, HT29, and T84 cell lines. Moreover, the measurement of four cytokines produced by human peripheral blood mononuclear cells after incubation with the bacterium suggested that C.maltaromaticum LMA 28 exhibit either a neutral or a slightly anti-inflammatory behaviour. The analysis of the genome of C.maltaromaticum LMA 28 revealed it contains genes for adaptation to the gastrointestinal tract. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd. Source
Non-dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and chlordecone release from adipose tissue to blood in response to body fat mobilization in ewe (Ovis aries)

Understanding how persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are released from adipose tissue (AT) to blood is a critical step in proposing rearing strategies hastening the removal of POPs from contaminated livestock. The current study aimed to determine in nonlactating ewes whether polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and chlordecone are released from AT to blood along with lipids during body fat mobilization achieved through β-agonist challenges or undernutrition. β-Agonist challenges did not affect serum POP concentrations, whereas serum PCBs 138, 153, and 180 were readily increased in response to undernutrition. After 21 days of depuration in undernutrition, AT PCB 153 and 180 concentrations were increased concomitantly with a decrease in adipocyte volume, whereas AT chlordecone concentration was not different from that observed at the end of the well-fed contamination period. Thus, undernutrition may be of practical relevance for accelerating POP depuration unless it is combined with a strategy increasing their excretion pool. © 2016 American Chemical Society. Source

Got another faint positive this afternoon. Even more confused
Hi OP, are you reading the OPK's right? It's only positive if the test line is equal to darker than the control line. You will have 2 lines show up almost all cycle but only when the test line is stronger is it a true positive.
This in unlike HPT's where even a very very faint second line is called positive.
The other possibility is that your body tried to ovulate, failed and is trying again, this often happens with pcos and other hormone imbalances

Thanks bel2466. Then im not reading correctly. They are only faint positive. Will keep testing until I get the darker line
I agree with not going by when ff tells you that you are going to ov. It is mostly used to tell you after you have o'd approx what day it was.

CIC for trust on selection procedures of public offices
Observing that possibilities of nepotism and favouritism in public appointments should not be used as a reason to doubt in-house selection procedures of government offices, the Central Information Commission has turned down a request to disclose details on appointment of an official superseding another.
"Certain amount of trust will have to be reposed in the institutional mechanism that has been in place or procedures that have been laid down by a public authority to enable it to make an informed judgment about choice of personnel," Information Commissioner A N Tiwari said.
The CIC's observation came in light of an RTI plea by president of Kandla Port Karmachari Sangh Mohan K Aswani, who had sought from the Department of Shipping file notings pertaining to appointment of his colleague for the post of Labour Trustee, in preference over him.
While noting that public offices might use "cloak of confidentiality" to cover up their "injudicious decision" coupled with "favouritism and nepotism", the commission, while turning down Aswani's plea, said that such a possibility should not raise doubts on the functioning of the offices.
"I am not inclined to undo an established system on the basis of some hypothetical scenario about its possible abuse," Tiwari said in his order.
The Commission, however, said in cases of specific allegations of abuses of authority by public offices, they could be asked to disclose the details under the provisions of RTI Act.
Earlier, the information officer of Shipping Ministry had contended that selection process of officials had confidential details sourced from vigilance and intelligence agencies, which would be inappropriate to divulge.

Re: CIC for trust on selection procedures of public offices
If a complaint has been lodged well before the selection board against a officer and that officer uses links to thawart the complaint invetsigation and concerned authority also ignores blatant proof, allows the Selection Board of the officer to take palce.
Isn;t the Selction Board then under scrutiny and made to be transprent to ascertain how the issues were suppressed or accounted .Any CIC decsions on this contigency

My mom got Daniel to help me prepare for my physics AP test last year and help me with SAT prep. He helped me to get a 5 on my AP test and really improve my SAT score, especially in the math section. Now he tutors me to help me keep up in my Calculus class and will help me prepare for the AP at the end of the year. I definitely recommend Daniel, he is very good at explaining hard concepts and is really good at helping prepare for tests!
Before meeting Daniel, I faced a great deal of stress practicing the fundamentals for my second try at the SAT. After my first attempt, I had lost confidence in my ability to perform. Daniel helped regain my confidence by not only cementing the material and concepts to memory but by also discussing useful test-taking strategies. My score went from below the minimum requirement for Stanford to well above it. I cannot thank Daniel enough for the opportunity he has provided me to help further my education.

After downloading the rest of the RC4 packages yesterday morning, finally i have upgraded my system equally to Slackware 11.0 RC4 (except for the 18.104.22.168 kernel package which i didn't install, since i don't use 2.4.x kernel very often in my daily work and kernel version after 2.4.31 didn't work on my laptop. I don't know why. It always stopped when it came to hotplug services. After all, 2.4.31 works just fine for me, so i won't have to use the 126.96.36.199 for now). The process was quite fast, as i only do upgradepkg <list-of-files-to-be-upgraded> and everything goes automatically, except for udev which i have to rename /etc/rc.d/rc.udev.new into /etc/rc.d/rc.udev to reflect changes in the new udev version. I also skipped KTorrent for now, as i'm quite satisfied with Bittorrent client, even though it's a little bit outdated and i will have to wait after Slackware 11.0 being released before Pat updated the bittorrent packages in -current as it requires new libraries and Pat doesn't want to waste his time to make sure it works as the current version works nicely.
Since i had my own compiled version of PHP, i also had to recompiled my PHP from the source code with the new libmysqlclient library. If i didn't do this, then Apache won't work after i reboot since it couldn't find the correct libmysqlclient version compiled within PHP. After this, i rebooted my laptop and do some testing in order to make sure that everything worked as it is supposed to be. I didn't find any problem so far, so i guess it's worthed to wait for several days for this updates. Pat does makes it guarranted to work (except for the missing '[' in udev packages which was quickly recognized by other people as well). He really wanted to have the most stable system in his next release (btw, this is a major upgrade from 10.x to 11.x, so it should be phenomenal in my opinion).
I also tried to recompile xCHM with other options provided in the ./configure --help script, but still didn't work. It still displays the same error message. I think it's because i used the old chmlib library. Maybe i'll look for updates to the chmlib today. Those who are curious about the error messages can see the screenshots below. If you have a solution for this, please let me know, so i won't have to see that kind of error message again in the future.
Yes, i have seen a new release of chmlib and i will try to use that today to recompile my xCHM application. I hope it works for now.

How Video WorksChapter 15: Everything You've Wanted to know About Video Compression
Click here to buy from Amazon
Compression is the process of reducing data in a digital signal by eliminating redundant information. This process reduces
the amount of bandwidth required to transmit the data and the amount of storage space required to store it. Any type of digital data can be compressed. Reducing the required bandwidth permits more data to be transmitted at one time.
Compression can be divided into two categories: lossless and lossy. In lossless compression, the restored image is an exact duplicate of the original with no loss of data. In lossy compression, the restored image is an approximation, not an exact duplicate, of the original.
Lossless Compression
Lossless compression is characterized by a complete restoration of all the original data that was contained in the original image. Compressing a document is a form of lossless compression in that the restored document must be exactly the same as the original. It cannot be an approximation. In the visual world, lossless compression lends itself to images that contain large quantities of repeated information, for example, an image that contains a large area of one color, perhaps a blue sky. Computer-generated images or flat colored areas that do not contain much detail, e.g., cartoons, graphics, and 3D animation, also lend themselves to lossless compression.
One type of lossless compression commonly used in graphics and computer-generated images (CGI) is run-length encoding. These images tend to have large portions using the same colors or repeated patterns. Every pixel in a digital image is composed of the three component colors, red, green, and blue, and every pixel has a specific value for each color. Therefore, it takes three bytes of information, one byte for each color, to represent a pixel. Run-length encoding, rather than storing the RGB value for each individual pixel, groups each scan line into sections, or run-lengths, of identical pixel values. For example, one section of a line of video might consist of a row of 25 black pixels. This section would be runlength
encoded as 25, 0, 0, 0. This translates as 25 pixels, each composed of R � 0, G � 0, andB � 0, or black. The original
image would have required 75 bytes (25 pixels 3 bytes) to hold this data. When compressed using run-length encoding, the same data can be contained in four bytes.
Lossy Compression
Video images generated by a camera are generally not suited for lossless compression techniques. Rarely are there long enough run lengths of the same pixel value in an image to maximize the efficiency of these techniques. Compression used for active video is usually in the lossy category. With lossy compression, the restored image will be an approximation of the original. When a lossy image is reproduced or uncompressed, not all the data left out during compression will be restored exactly as they were.
To minimize the apparent loss of data, lossy compression techniques generally compress the data that comprise those parts of the image the human eye is less sensitive to, or that contain less critical image data. The human eye is more sensitive to changes in light levels or luminance than it is to changes in color, both hue and saturation. Within the color gamut, the human eye is more sensitive to the yellow-green-blue range. The human eye is also more sensitive to objects in motion than to still objects. Rabbits, for example, will freeze when they are in the presence of a predator. They know instinctively that the eyes of a predator animal, which includes humans, are more sensitive to objects in motion. Therefore, the rabbits are less likely to be seen while remaining motionless.
In lossy compression, the data chosen to be compressed is the data that does not fall within the human sensitivity range or data that contains a great deal of motion. Two commonly used lossy compression techniques are JPEG and MPEG. These techniques, and variations of them, are described below.
JPEG Compression
JPEG compression was developed by the Joint Photographic Experts Group and defines the standards for compressing still
images, such as graphics and photographs. In JPEG compression, the image data is separated into luminance and chrominance information. JPEG takes advantage of the human eyes greater sensitivity to changes in luminance than changes in color by sampling the chroma or color information in the image half as often as the luminance. In this manner, the chrominance data is reduced by half. The total data can be reduced further by encoding redundant luminance information in the image. Any constant values that appear in the image can be encoded using the same run-length technique used in lossless compression.
Motion JPEG Compression
Motion JPEG, or M-JPEG, was developed from JPEG as a means of compressing moving images by treating each image as a single still picture. Only incremental changes are necessary between adjacent frames of video, as the quantifiable difference from frame-to-frame tends to be less than 5%. Treating each image as a single still rather than as part of continuous motion is an effective approach to compressing motion images.
MPEG Compression
MPEG compression was developed by the Motion Picture Experts Group and defines the standards for compressing moving images. MPEG techniques establish the protocols for compressing, encoding, and decoding the data but not the encoding methods themselves. The rules dictate the order of the data and what the data must contain but not the method by which the data is derived. This allows for continuous improvement in encoding techniques without having to constantly change existing equipment. As in M-JPEG compression, MPEG takes maximum advantage of the interframe similarity as
the key to its compression techniques.
Each line within each field of digital video contains 704 pixels. MPEG-1 compression uses 1 field per frame of video sampled at 352 pixels per line. Using half resolution horizontally and every other scan line vertically creates a quarter-resolution image. MPEG-1 is the simplest form of motion compression. There is no detailed analysis of each individual image or adjacent images. Consequently, no advantage is taken of redundant information that occurs within each frame and between adjacent frames. It is compression based on a simple, mathematical progression of sampling every other pixel on every other line.
MPEG Variations
MPEG-2 compression can use a variety of computer algorithms, or mathematical formulas, to compress the images. These different algorithms are referred to as tools, and can be used in combination to provide progressively more compression without loss of quality. In other words, MPEG-2 compression can produce a good quality image using about 4% of the original video data. In addition, MPEG-2 is flexible and can support a wide variety of data rates, picture sizes, and compression qualities.
Each successive variation of MPEG compression, e.g., MPEG 4, 5, 7, and so on, is more sophisticated in its ability to discern compressible data, allowing for increased compression without degrading the image. Different MPEG compression techniques or variations can lend themselves to specific applications.

When my time does come, whether it be tomorrow, months, or years from now, I want to know I did everything I could to pay the goodness I've been shown forward. I want to live gratefully in each moment and for each person who has filled every grace given breath with beauty. With this grace I have so graciously been gifted, I will fight.
The reason I am against the Religious Freedom Restoration Act is not because I am a lefty liberal, but because I am a proud American Christian. This legislation, though guised in the cloak of religious liberty, is the first string to be pulled out of our basic civil rights. This state is beginning the slippery slope of legalized discrimination.
I believe that if we make the effort to listen, we can hear our hearts guiding us. And if we think we can ignore its wisdom, we will lose our way. Eventually we have to face up to our past choices. But doing so gives us an opportunity to bring our love and compassion into the world by listening to our wise hearts.

The restaurant is currently busy, seating 55 customers with little extra room most days of the week. Extending the service area onto the first floor would assuredly increase turnover significantly. It is running at full capacity 5-6 days a week so by converting upstairs with more seating will increase sales Short evening hours only which can be extended to afternoon which will again increase sales. Extending opening hours to accommodate afternoon trade will further increase turnover.
The current owner is happy to stay for up to a month to ensure a smooth transition to new ownership.
