Carbon dioxide
Ffffffftttttttzzzzzzz. That's the sound you get when you open a bottle or can of fizzy drink. The thing that's causing that sound is all the carbon dioxide trapped inside rushing out. Fizzy drinks are made with carbonated water, which is water that has the gas carbon dioxide dissolved into it under pressure. When you breathe out, you are also exhaling carbon dioxide from your lungs.
But it isn't fizzy drinks or heavy breathing that are causing climate change. A far, far greater amount of carbon dioxide is being produced when we burn fossil fuels such as petrol or coal. In fact, whenever you burn any organic material (a substance that was once alive) - wood, for example - it produces carbon dioxide.
Plants turn carbon dioxide back into oxygen through their leaves - some of it gets absorbed by the sea, too - but we are now burning so much fossil fuel that there is about 40% more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere today than there was before the start of the industrial age, which began about 200 years ago. Before it was dug up, the carbon had been locked deep under the ground for millions of years. Unlocking all this carbon so quickly is a big, big problem. Carbon dioxide helps the atmosphere absorb heat from the sun, which is why scientists are worried that too much of it is gradually increasing temperatures around the world. We have upset the natural balance of carbon dioxide entering and leaving the atmosphere. This is why we urgently need to stop burning so many fossil fuels.
Methane is a gas that is colourless (you can't see it), odourless (you can't smell it) and flammable (it will catch fire if you light a match near it). It is created when organic matter - plants, wood, dead animals - rots or decomposes. Tiny bacteria produce this methane as they munch their way through this organic feast. Mmmmmm.
Methane only accounts for a small percentage of the volume of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere but it is very powerful - about 22 times more so than carbon dioxide - which means that it is thought to account for about 20% of the greenhouse effect. Since the start of the industrial age, the concentration of methane in the atmosphere has increased by about two-and-a-half times. But it doesn't stay in the atmosphere for as long as carbon dioxide, which can last for up to 200 years. Methane remains within the atmosphere only for about 10 years or so before turning into water vapour.
Operation Cow Fart
When cows munch on grass, they also swallow lots of air. This is a big problem, as this air passes through their body and is released at the other end in the form of a big fart. (Cows also burp an awful lot, too!) Scientists worry about this because cow farts and burps contain a lot of methane and this all adds to the greenhouse effect. This methane is produced inside the cow's tummy when all the grass it eats is being digested. In fact, cow farts could be responsible for about 5% of all manmade - or should that be cow-made? - greenhouse gases! That's because there are a lot of cows: 1.5bn cows on the planet. That's one cow for every four people.
But, in 2008, some Japanese scientists said they had an answer to the problem - a special pill that neutralises the methane being produced inside the cow. Maybe they need to invent a fart pill for us humans, too!

text: Last updated: 04 October 2016 BMA cohort doctor study The BMA cohort study of 2006 medical graduates is a 10 year longitudinal study of the career paths of 430 doctors. This year is the tenth and final survey round and provides information on the experiences of cohort doctors who are mostly progressing through specialty training or working as qualified GPs. The report provides insights into career choice and working environments. The questionnaire also includes a number of new questions, some looking back over the entire study period and some looking to the future. A longitudinal analysis of the entire 10 year data will be published in 2017. Key findings Here are some of the key findings of the tenth edition of the cohort study: 42% of doctors indicated that their current experience as a doctor was worse than they expected when they graduated 42% of doctors plan to practise overseas, a slight increase on previous years, with 10% having applied for a certificate of good standing with a view to working abroad. Compared to previous points in their careers, the majority stated that they are now more likely to consider working overseas or leaving medicine, but are less likely to consider changing their specialty The proportion of doctors stating that their current levels of morale are worse than each previous point in time (foundation training, speciality training, one year ago) is consistently greater than the proportion who state that it is now better There has been an increase in the proportion of doctors who took a break from medicine The majority reported at least a strong desire to practise medicine, but there continues to be a decline in the number of doctors reporting a very strong desire to practise medicine The biggest causes of stress were work-life balance responsibilities, a shortage of doctors and high levels of paperwork The past four surveys have seen a deterioration in perceptions of working atmosphere, working conditions, pace and intensity of work and complexity of work.

Dry chemical powder system
The Unitor dry chemical powder fire extinguishing system (Unitor DCP system) is designed for use on "B" and "C" class fires. The system uses dry powder which breaks down the chemical reaction within the fire and subsequently suppresses the flames almost immediately?
Key features
- Proven time release and capacity capabilities
- A wide range of pressure vessels for powder are available to meet the demands for various system sizes
- Can be deployed by hand held hoses, fixed monitors, or a combination of both
- Up to 190 meter pipe and 33 meter hose for handheld pistol
- Up to 140 meter pipe for monitor
- Tested in minus 28 °C in long pipes
- Provides complete coverage to all the areas that need protection
- Powder penetrates into the smallest and even partially covered locations
- Can be installed as a central-, modular- or hybrid system
A cost effective solution
- Designed to keep material and installation costs low
- Standardised system components minimise maintenance and operational cost
- Modular units provide a flexible solution, reduce piping routes and eliminate the need for distribution piping
- Components can be installed on skid for reduced installation time and cost
Technical information
Where can the system be used?
Liquefied gas carriers
LNG fuelled vessels
System configuration
The Unitor DCP system consists of steel pressure vessel(s), cylinder banks with manifolds, distribution valves, gas release arrangements, hose stations, monitors, pressure gauges and safety valves.
Hose stations are located on deck in a way that every part of the deck area can be reached with two hose stations. The hose stations consist of local release arrangement and 33 metres of hose with a powder pistol. Monitors are located to protect cargo manifolds and can be released locally and remotely. The system can be installed as central, modular or hybrid system (which is a combination of the two).
Central system
The central system is designed as a single or twin storage pressure vessel located centrally inside a powder room. It feeds powder from the central powder storage tanks through piping systems on deck to the hose stations
and monitors. The Unitor DCP system has capacity to cover the whole deck area with powder, or the flexibility to discharge all powder to cover one single area.
Modular system
In modular systems each hose station unit and monitor unit has its own self-contained powder storage vessel.
Activation of the system
When the system is released, nitrogen gas pressurises the tank, and nozzles fitted in the bottom fluidize the powder. When a certain pressure is achieved, the dry powder flows through the distribution manifold to the monitor or hand hose line.
There are two ways to release the system to ensure system operation even if one unit fails to work:
- Remotely operated from the release boxes utilising pilot cylinders
- Manually operated at the dry powder unit
Rules and regulations for DCP systems
The new IMO regulation requires the powder used to be based on Potassium Sulphate and that testing is carried out with this type of powder. Potassium Sulphate offers better compatibility with foam compared to the historical choice, Sodium Bicarbonate and hence the system can be used together with foam fire-fighting systems.
The regulation also states that any Type Approval test shall be carried out using the same type of powder that will be supplied with the unit, a test the Unitor system was able to satisfy.
Germanischer Lloyd was selected to witness the testing for the Unitor DCP system. GL requires Type Approval of shipboard equipment for all the ships it classes, regardless of their flag state so the result would have a wider impact than on European Union flag ships.
Further approvals are being considered by other Flag States and Classification Societies in order to adopt the test standard into their requirements.
The Unitor DCP system is extensively and independently tested:
- MED -B & -D certified, fulfilling the mandatory IMO MSC.1/Circ. 1315
- GL type approval certificate
- DNV QS - Certificate of assessment - EC
- Complies with SOLAS and approved by major classification societies
- Complies with IMO IGC Code Ch. 11-4
- Complies with IMO IBC Code Ch.17
The system can be applied on merchant marine and offshore structures as design is in accordance to IGC or IBC code and IMO MODU Code
In addition the Unitor DCP system is tested down to -28C and in 190 meter + 33 meter pipes and hoses.


text: Coniston and Mount Saint Thomas are residential suburbs of Wollongong city. Mount Saint Thomas is thought to be after the maiden name of the wife of Captain Charles Waldron. Significant development occurred during the post-war years, aided by immigration. The population has been relatively stable since the early 1990s, a result of some new dwellings being added, and a decline in the average number of persons living in each. Major features of the area include the WIN Television Station and Radio Station i98FM, Coniston Community Centre and a school.

Let Me Be Your Hero
Disclaimer: Don't own POTO… but I do own Dom and Cyrus.
A/N: Thank you so much to everyone who left me those wonderful reviews. I do so hope you will all review again… it might just cheer me up. This is for all of you, and for Adora's World, because sometimes it's nice to get a massive poke in the ribs once in a while and a subtle, albeit telling, reprimand for being ever the procrastinator. And also for theangelcried, because I didn't catch you before you started back and I so wish I had. And just as much for Ripper because I have been so long in doing anything online but I intend to catch up again… how many times have you heard that, eh? And for everybody else because I have not been around for a while and I'm sure you'd rather I updated more often than I do. I am having the month from Hell, seriously. But regardless, Tiochfaidh ár Lá, for those of you who read it, will be updated next… and I won't take anywhere near as long, I promise.
Please read and review…
Chapter 3: Forever Running…
Next to her, Cyrus cocked his head to the side and pressed his nose into her thigh solidly. Watching the dog try to get her attention too, Erik noticed Christine's hand tightening on his knee, not painfully, but hard enough that he gripped her wrist worriedly to see if her hand would loosen.
"Christ – tine?" he tried again, pulling on her.
And then she screamed.
Jumping up instantly, Erik at first took an instinctive step back, recoiling from the sound, and then his worry for her took over and he bent down, shaking her by the shoulders lightly. "Christine?" he said hurriedly as the death-grip she had had on his knee was relocated to his wrist when he knelt before her and took hold of her hands. He was confused beyond belief… usually, when people screamed at him, they did not hold onto him as tightly as she was. They were also usually outside at night and frightened of him if he happened to be walking towards them on an otherwise deserted street, and they were usually completely conscious of the fact that they were screaming at a man in a mask. This was so different, he couldn't think what to do.
Rushing back into the room, Raoul looked between the two of them, confused, and went over to Christine's side, only hampered by the dog who was already there. He was baffled, obviously – he didn't have a clue what Erik could have done to make her scream. He had thought what Erik asked her was a bit forward, yes, but he hadn't thought it frightening… He wouldn't admit to it if asked, but he had been standing just inside the door of his room for the longest time… All he'd gone in for were some photos from his last holiday abroad to show her, and then he'd heard talking and he'd stood inside the door to listen to their conversation. Erik had gotten her to reveal so much to him about her life and her hopes and, in short, everything Raoul wanted to know. So he'd waited, taking it in to see if he could do something about it at a later date. He was going to have to get Erik to teach him how to get her to open up like that, he knew, and he wished, for the first time in his life, that he had taken to music more easily. Here was this beautiful, wonderful girl with him – his girlfriend, in fact – and his father's best friend, who stuttered more in any one sentence when he was nervous than Raoul had when he was tiny and learning to read, but yet Erik was the one succeeding in getting through to her. It made him jealous beyond belief – but it was also a huge relief… after all, Erik could always teach Raoul how to talk to her – if neither of them had been able to, he would be in a much worse predicament…
Placing his hands on Christine to try to get her attention, he momentarily found himself looking towards Erik in suspicion. He suddenly suspected something to do with the mask but then he dismissed that thought as really quite unlikely since he had been living there for ages and not once had Erik's mask ever moved from his face while he was there. "Christine?" he said softly.
And she turned towards him, blinking slowly. She looked at him suddenly lucidly and the grip she had on Erik's hand loosened gradually until he no longer felt such a conscious urgent worry. "What?" she asked tiredly, using her now free hand to rub her right eye.
"Christine, you screamed!" Raoul said quickly, wondering how she could just forget what had caused her such fright. "What happened? You frightened the life out of me!"
She looked at him peculiarly and he returned the look, watching her with great curiosity. Briefly, she looked around herself at the room and looked back at him again nervously, unable to say anything.
Erik didn't like seeing her embarrassed, and though he wanted nothing more than to be sure she was completely and unequivocally alright, he could not let her continue to be focused upon if she did not want to be. "Raoul, get Christine a glass of water."
Conceding that Erik might actually have a point, Raoul sighed and got up, heading into the kitchen where he knew he was supposed to wait patiently for a while until the older man deemed it alright to come back out. And as he left the room, trying to calm down, sure that Erik was probably better at handling this situation, though that thought did not particularly comfort him, he wondered if he would have gone to this much trouble had it been anyone but Christine. He didn't think he would… there was just something magical about her that made her so special compared to everyone else.
"I'm sorry," Christine whispered to Erik in the living room, her eyes slowly filling up with tears. He shook his head sadly and let go of her at last, sitting back on the edge of the sofa behind him. She looked up at him and stood suddenly, her hand slightly shaking as she took hold of Cyrus' lead. "Could I use your bathroom?"
Leading her there, Erik couldn't help but feel useless as the door shut behind her. Of course, he had done nothing technically wrong, but he felt like the whole debacle was his fault somehow. Surely he had done or said something that had precipitated whatever had upset her. He leaned back against the door and ran a hand across his face tiredly, unaware that, at the same time, on the other side of the door, Christine was mirroring the gesture.
"How long has she been in there?" Raoul asked at last as he and Erik sat in the living room on opposite arms of the sofa, both staring as far as they could around the bend in the hall, in silence up until that moment.
Somewhat exhausted from the events of the evening, Erik briefly – and tiredly – looked down at his watch and shook his head sadly. "Oh… about half an hour." Then he went right back to staring with Raoul as he had been doing for the longest time. Truly, he had never cared so much in his life that someone was taking so long in the bathroom… yes, he hated it when Raoul decided to spend an age in their when Erik was trying to get ready for work quickly, but that was annoyance more than anything. This was nothing but concern.
Raoul nodded and let a few moments of silence pass before he asked another question. "Do you think she's embarrassed to come out?"
Neither taking their eyes away from the hallway, Erik nervously fidgeted with his watch, though he was not interesting in looking at it, and started to worry that perhaps she had not come out for a worse reason. "I certainly hope not," he answered at last. "But better that than…" Trailing off, he shook his head and stood up, unsure whether he wanted to pace or check on her.
"So what do you think that was all about tonight, then?" Raoul asked.
"It is not for us to discuss. If she wishes to confide in you, then fair enough… but otherwise, you will only hurt her to speculate." And Erik truly believed that… he had gone through his fair share of speculation and it never did anyone any good. He did not wish for Christine to have to face it too. And yet, he could not help but be curious… indeed, he was curious by nature, always taking things apart to see how they worked and putting them back together again. But Christine was a decidedly fascinating entity he could never analyse like that… and he mourned that he felt he could never put her back together as he wanted to.
Hearing the front door open behind them, they both turned to watch Dom come in and set his things down. "Why are you two in here together?" he asked curiously, taking off his coat and hanging it up. "And how was your dinner with Christine, Raoul?"
Raoul shrugged unhappily and stood up briefly as he moved to actually sit on the sofa. "I wouldn't know yet, Dad, she's been in the bathroom for the last half hour."
"What did you say to her?"
"For once, Dominic, he has not done anything worthy of blame," Erik said unpredictably, fingering the hem of his waistcoat as he still looked on ever-hopeful down the hallway and remained disconnected from the other men in the room.
Raoul smiled unexpectedly, surprised and oddly happy that Erik really thought that. It was a start, he supposed – he was one step closer to actually saying something nice about him.
At length, the three men loitering in the living room heard the lock on the bathroom door turn and they saw Christine coming around the corner in the hall, each having an entirely different experience. Dom was somewhat detached, seeing as he hadn't been there at the time and didn't really know what was going on. Raoul was relieved that she'd come out and he hoped that he could convince Erik and his father to give them some space – he really wanted her to confide in him. Erik, meanwhile, could not take his eyes off of her. To him, she was flawed and beautiful and perfect all at the same time. She was a wonder, yes, but he also found himself relieved that she was human enough to have her own little intricacies and faults – something that gave him the slightest hope she was attainable. While he still thought of her as his goddess with a canine companion, he knew that there was no way he could achieve anything so long as he perceived her as a sublime being and nothing else. So he was happy to see that she, too, had her shortcomings, if they could really be called that – problems, even… things she needed help with or could not fully control herself.
"I have been the worst houseguest ever," she said apologetically as she came fully into the room, looking between the faces of the three men, her face rather red – whether from embarrassment or upset, the men could not tell. "I am so sorry. You invite me here and I upset everything…" Shaking her head in awkwardness, she sighed and looked down. "Let me take up no more of your time or hospitality…" And she started towards the door only to find herself being stopped by all three men at once.
"Stay and have dinner with me, Christine," Raoul said, pulling her back around the coffee table to the chair she had taken as her own.
She looked at him sceptically – curiously – and tilted her head to one side in a gesture she sometimes thought she had picked up from her dog. "Are you sure?"
"Of c – course," Erik answered for him, unwilling to be dismissed so easily, especially after he'd cooked the whole meal himself.
"Can I get you some wine, Christine?" Dom asked, and Raoul felt as if everybody had just invited themselves to the dinner he was supposed to be sharing with his girlfriend alone.
"No, thank you… I don't drink."
"Can I g – get s – s – something for C – Cyrus?" Erik asked, causing Christine to smile at his thoughtfulness and Raoul to mentally kick himself for not having come up with that first.
She smiled then at all three of them, endeared that they were all making sure that she had everything she needed. "That's so kind of you. He eats pretty much anything," she replied light-heartedly. "He shouldn't, of course… but he does." She was so glad she'd met them all, now – though she'd been so nervous at first… she was really unused to mixing with people socially. But she'd taken a chance with Raoul and she was so glad she had – she suddenly felt like she had friends other than her dog, Cyrus. She had actual human friends to talk to – she really did think of Erik now as her best friend, which was an odd thing to say about someone she'd only met a sparse few times… but he was so dear and so nice to her and they could talk of so much. He was officially her best friend, though she wouldn't tell him that as she knew there was absolutely no way he thought of her as that too. And she had Raoul for her boyfriend – a man so sweet and interesting when he found the right things to say. She supposed he was just getting used to her and what she liked and then it would be easier for him to know what to say and do.
She felt awkward over what had just happened that evening, but they were all being so nice as not to bring it up and she truly appreciated that about them. Most people were not so kind, and here she had found three… granted, one had not even been there and did not witness what had happened, but she still thought he wouldn't have said anything even if he had. And as Erik went to get Cyrus something to eat and check that the whole kitchen hadn't burnt down, Dom sat down across the coffee table from her enthusiastically. He and Erik had never had dinner with Raoul and any one of his previous girlfriends before, but he quite looked forward to sharing this meal with Christine. She was an interesting young lady and one he would quite happily call his daughter-in-law one day if it so happened. But he was getting ahead of himself… right now, she had only been going out with his son for the shortest time. Still, he hoped to get to know her a bit better and to perhaps explore the way she seemed to have made Erik not so much at Raoul's throat all the time. She had done a lot in a very short time and he could only imagine the influence she would have if she stuck around longer.
"So, Christine," he started, leaning forwardly eagerly in his chair. "Raoul tells me you are a waitress…"
Looking up at him, unsure what she was supposed to say in reply to that, she tried to decipher what he had meant behind that comment. Perhaps he was trying to make sure she was good enough for his son… "That isn't all I want to do for the rest of my life," she said defensively, though she needn't have been.
Dom was surprised she had taken it that way… he had only meant it as a conversation starter, though clearly he needed to rethink his 'tactics' with this particular girl. "Of course not…"
"I do aspire to be something more than that… but, like any other person, I do what pays the bills, first and foremost."
"I'm sorry if I offended you…" Dom replied hesitantly.
Embarrassed that she had been so utterly defensive towards him for no reason whatsoever, she shook her head and looked down briefly. "No, I am being too sensitive. I suppose I am just used to people assuming that that is all I can do with myself."
"I would never think that," Dom laughed. "You are clearly a remarkable young woman. Tell me, do you go to college or university?"
She cleared her throat uncomfortably and shook her head again, wishing Raoul would step in and say something too instead of just listening to their conversation. Yes, she wanted try to be more social, but she wasn't sure if she was up to answering all these questions about herself to her boyfriend's father when she had really only known them all for a short time and she was still getting used to being welcomed into their house and company. "Not yet… I intend to. But I have not gotten the chance yet."
Dom nodded and continued with his line of thought, going to the next obvious question to ask her. "What would you like to read?"
"Oh, well, I…" She started to say what she really wanted to do and then she stopped herself, knowing that she could never do that. Coughing to cover up her hesitation, she changed her answer and hoped she wasn't too unbelievable. "Probably Music – non-performance…"
"That's a very admirable choice… I hope it works out for you to be able to go soon." And he smiled genuinely, truly hoping that she did not find it too difficult getting in anywhere. He could vaguely remember the year before he went to university and it had been the worst and most hectic in his whole life. He hoped it wasn't like that for her.
Erik walked in just at that point and Christine thanked goodness for the temporary distraction and the possible change in focus. "Ch – Christine… I don't w – want to make you uncom – comfortable, but I don't know wh – what you usually d – do… when you are h – home, if Cyrus is normally off his l – lead, then you are welcome to let him roam, here."
"Yes, Christine," Dom agreed, glad his friend had suggested it – maybe it would make the poor girl feel more at ease. "Nobody would mind if you wanted to take him off the lead for a while… if you are comfortable with that, of course."
"That's kind of you… you must know I don't mean to impose him on you. He will be no trouble, I promise." And she unhooked the lead from his collar, ruffling his fur while she was at it. He'd been quiet for a long time and she supposed that was because he was no more used to socialising than she was.
"So what were you talking about before I got home?" Dom asked, not really seeing the problem with that question.
Christine looked up from Cyrus and met his gaze uncomfortably, unsure of what to say. And by some awesome stroke of luck, the clock on the mantle chimed just as she was starting to feel that overwhelming sensation of not belonging again. Fluidly looking at the time for show, she stood up quickly and replaced the lead on Cyrus' collar, hoping he would forgive her for his ever-so-brief bit of freedom. "I hadn't realised it was so late… I have work in the morning, so I'd better go. Thank you for having me," she said as she hurriedly replaced her coat and opened the front door.
"H – how are you g – getting home?" Erik asked with concern, coming to stand next to her. "Let m – me drive you."
"No, it's alright, I'll walk."
"But it's d – d – dark n – now," he stuttered, following her out the door, even as Raoul gave up for the night and Dom wondered what he had said that had upset her so. "It would be s – safer if I drove y – you." He was getting worked up and he didn't like that he was having more difficulty speaking with her. The evening had been an atrocious mess and none of it had been her fault.
"Thank you, but I have an Alsatian… most muggers tend not to attack people with large, seemingly vicious dogs. It's nice to know you care, though," she laughed self-deprecatingly.
"At least, let me w – walk with you."
"But then you'd have to walk back on you own…"
"I can t – take c – care of myself," he said, and, his nervous stutter notwithstanding, she quite believed him. "It would mean m – my peace of mind if y – you al – allow me to ac – accompany you."
By this time stepping out of his building and onto the street, she couldn't think of a legitimate reason to turn him away, and she nodded, continuing along the pavement at the same fevered pace until Erik managed to convince her that she needn't run all the way home.
Several minutes passed in silence and she turned to him, curious to know the answer to a question that had come to her when Raoul's father had been speaking to her. "Did you always want to be a conductor?" she asked as they walked.
"No… actually, I w – wanted to b – be a performer, but, in th – this life, one must accept one's l – limitations."
"Oh," she said with a significant hint of disappointment. "Are you saying it is pointless to dream?"
Shaking his head, he turned to her and stopped walking pointedly so that she would give him her full attention. "Not for you, Ch – Christine. For me… well, I ha – have conceded that."
"It shouldn't be that way… and what makes us any different?"
"You must be the only p – person in the wo – world that cannot see the potential in you."
"And yours?"
They both fell silent after that, unwilling to go any further in hurtful territory for both of them.
"You needn't come any further," she said suddenly, surprising them both. "I don't live that far away now and I can manage from here." And, with that, she ran ahead of him, hoping she hadn't confused Cyrus too much by changing the pace constantly.
Erik stopped exactly where he was, sighing as he watched her disappear around the bend in the road. Would she always be running? Or could he, unimportant in her life though he was, actually manage to get her to realise that running wasn't the answer? Perhaps then, he would take his own advice and realise the same, or perhaps she would manage to convince him… Either way, there was something enigmatic about Christine Daaé… and he was nothing if not eager to figure it out if he could keep her still long enough to actually find anything out about her.
But even as she had told him of her dreams and her aspirations, she had been running then too… running away from the subject of her in reality. She could tell him what she had always wanted to do, where she had always wanted to go, yes, and yet she could not tell him what was stopping her now, where the people she loved the most were or why she was so eager to excuse herself at any given moment. She couldn't tell him why she was a waitress when he would happily have given her a job as he was sure anyone in the industry would have. She couldn't tell him why she stuck so eagerly to what was safe. She couldn't even tell him who she was, besides her name… she couldn't tell him who she was really.
She was Christine Daaé… and she was forever running.

The Ideal Diet
Timeless Nutrition Tip
The list of foods you shouldn't eat seems endless sometimes.
How do you eat the ideal diet? Well, there probably isn't one. What you can do is find what works for you. What may be the ideal diet for one, most likely won't be for another. But do know that all food isn't bad.
Eating the right foods can help you fight off a disease before it gets a foothold, and beat it when it does.
To be proactive in your fight for good health, try the following simple guidelines as a prescription for healthy eating.
- Use proportion control. Eat meals in which 15 to 20 percent is protein, 50 to 60 percent is complex carbohydrates, and 20 to 30 percent is fat .
- Get your fiber. A high intake of insoluble fiber will reduce your risk of colon cancer and simple constipation. Fiber: A Non-Nutritional Vital Nutrient
- Eat your vegetables. Vegetables contain beta-carotene, a substance your body uses to manufacture vitamin A. Diets high in beta-carotene will protect against most types of cancer. Easy Ways to Eat Your Vegetables!
- Consume antioxidants. Powerful irritants called free radicals cause certain cancers. Antioxidants, such as vitamin E and vitamin C, help prevent free radical formation.
- Eat more fish. The omega-3 fatty acids found in fish appear to be protective against heart disease. These fatty acids also improve rheumatoid arthritis.
Diet or Exercise Plan?
If you are considering one or more popular diets or exercise plans, you owe it to yourself and your health to make sure their claims are valid. Ask yourself the following questions.
- Does it promise a quick fix?
- Does it encourage or require you to stop eating certain foods, food groups or products?
- Does it rely on a single study as the basis for its recommendations?
- Does it contradict recommendations of reputable health organizations?
- Does it identify good and bad foods?
- Does it just sound too good to be true?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, keep looking for a plan that is backed by solid science, lets you keep eating your favorite foods and allows for flexibility.

Could there be a problem with the implant?
I had breast augmentation about 7 years ago and for the past year or so I've been getting pain on/off in my left breast. It feels fine to touch, no lumps etc and the breast hasn't hardened at all. How would I know if something was wrong with the implant? Could the pain be hormonal?
Doctor Answers 4
Could there be a problem with the implant?
Hello dear, thanks for your question and provided information as well.. The breasts may lose their elasticity and firmness which can be caused by different factors such as pregnancy, massive weight loss, lactation and aging. To reaffirm the breasts and restore the natural look your surgeon can perform a mastopexy or breast lift. A breast lift restores a firmer, perkier, and more aesthetically pleasing shape to sagging breasts. This not only can improve a patient's appearance by restoring her youthful, feminine proportions, but also help bras and swimsuits fit more comfortably and attractively. By removing excess, stretched out skin, reshaping the breast tissue, and raising the nipple & areola into a more forward position, a cosmetic surgeon can create a more youthful breast contour. Stretched, large areolae can also be reduced during breast lift surgery, creating an overall better proportioned, natural looking breast, Actually the perkiness on a person or another, depends on patients skin and breast tissue… Breast augmentation surgery increases or restores breast size using silicone gel implants, saline implants or in some cases, fat transfer. One of the most popular and frequently performed aesthetic surgery procedures, breast augmentation has a long and successful track record in satisfying women who wish to enhance, regain or restore balance to their figures.
Breast pain
The pain in your breast may or may not be related to breast implants. I would recommend you see your OBGYN (or whomever sees you for annual breast exams) and your plastic surgeon for evaluation.
Breast pain after augmentation
Thanks for your inquiry. Your pain could be many things including things which are not related to the implants. I suggest you first see your primary care doctor to be examined. He/she probably will have you see your plastic surgeon as well. Good Luck.

Where I stayed
Red Sands Hotel
Short drive into Capitol Reef this morning. We split up again with Rod leading a hike and Jean leading the alternative. I took the alternative walk, which was somewhat disappointing stroll along the river rather than seeing an arch. I tried to make the best of it, but the photo ops were few and far between. We end our stroll after a bit and have to wait for others in the picnic area. Their walk lasted longer than expected.
We had a box lunch in the park. Then we all hop on the bus and head to a section of the park where a sampling of petroglyphs can be seen from a wooden walkway. Some are difficult to spot at first. Some are easily recognized shapes of animals. Other seem to represent some more abstract concepts.
Then back to Torrey for dinner at Rim Rock. GREAT DINNER! How did this chef end up in Torry Utah? Most of us had the delicious salmon, while others opted for a pasta dish.
Back at the motel, we had a lecture on native Americans by Larry Davis - including artifacts of their culture. He's entertaining and informative. Rod says he reminds him of George Goebel and I can see the resemblance in his deadpan delivery. He's brought along a number of artifacts including arrows, atlatl, fire maker, spears. He passes them around. It's like show and tell after a terrific vacation.

I wasn't completely finished with my angry rant. I had a lot more to say, but it wasn't Leo who should be on the receiving end of most of it. With a loud huff, I picked up my pen and decided to get productive. Wasting my time on silly boys would not be worth it.
The next half hour passed in silence, and I was glad that the work the teacher had assigned me was engaging enough for the time to pass by quickly. The bell interrupted me just as I was about to start on some grammar, shrieking to life overhead. Without a word, Leo dropped his hands to his side, cracking his knuckles before standing up and hauling his bag over his shoulder. He walked over to the front desk, smacking his hand down on the surface to grab his workload before glancing at me.
With that lazy smile imprinted on his face still, he asked, "You done, nerd?"
Feeling quite flustered, I answered with an icy glare, standing up and chucking everything into my bag before storming towards the door. Before I left, I looked over my shoulder once more, trying to form a retort in my mind but the moment I saw that mocking smile on Leo's face, fury bubbled within me. Curses!
Knowing better than to start a fight on the first day, I walked out without a second glance back. Besides, right now, I should be enjoying my freedom. The first day of school was finally over! And I had survived it (barely).
Whether that was supposed to create some joy inside me, I did not know. But I was going home. That comforted the screams of anger that were so close to being released out of my mouth.
I can take care of myself till I got home. No longer would anyone bug me...
Or so I believed.

Josh was someone who would stay clear of other people. He would rather stay alone and do his thing. One day, while he was walking out, he met a guy who needed help. Little did he know that his life was about to change.
It was summer time and everything was pretty ordinary for this guy named Josh. He pretty much loved spending his time staying at home watching movies and T.V. shows. He never did like going out except when he needed to stock on food or watch his favorite band play live nearby. He was an outcast; a lone wolf. He didn't want to hang out with his high school buddies or even his college friends. He had family but Josh was disconnected. He felt that he'd do better without relying on them. Still, he would visit for Christmas and stay 'til the new year came. He was anti-social, he was cold, and he didn't want to have any connections with anyone because he always said to himself that if he had a bond with someone, it would just go bad soon and it'll be a drag when it gets to that stage. But everything changed soon.
It was a Monday in May and he had to stock up for the week. He always had his own system on what to buy and how long his supplies would last. He didn't need much food; he was living alone. He would get the supplies he needs in the nearby super market called The Box. So he got ready and went off. He got in a taxi and they drove off. "Where to?", "Drop me by The Box" he said. It was a good fifteen minute drive. The taxi driver attempted to start a conversation. "Hey, you look familiar. Hey man, what school did you go to?". Josh just looked at him and just stared away. "Oh yeah, I remember now. Dude! We went to the same school together. Remember? High school? You don't uuhh.. remember?". He just paused. Josh remembered though but he wasn't really that intrigued. "Yeah, I think we did.", he said as they reached The Box. He handed his fare and he just went on to buy his stuff.
After his weekly shopping, he saw a guy. He looked so familiar he said to himself. As Josh walked by, he realized that it was someone from his college years. He was wearing a jacket and covering his arms too as if he was hiding something. He just casually walked by but the man recognized him as well. "Josh?" he said in a surprising tone. "Hey, it's me Bell! How's it been?". Josh just stared at him, of course he realized quickly that he wouldn't be able to avoid the conversation this time. "Oh yeah! Bell, I remember. Back in college right? Yeah, I'm okay. Doing good.". "It's been so long dude. Hey, I know. Wait for me here. I just need something. I'll be back real quick." Bell said and he rushed in to buy what he needed. It wasn't like Josh to wait for someone. Especially someone he didn't know at all but something in him just told him to wait. He felt as if something would happen.
"So what are you into now?" Bell asked Josh. So they went to a nearby park to catch up a bit. Josh told him about his life alone in the city. "Man, that's so boring!". Bell started laughing. Josh just went with it and just kept on with the conversation. "Hey, I know this place. It's pretty cool. You play music right?". Bell knew this because he used to play in a band and he would see him a lot. Josh was having second thoughts though because he never really liked to go out much. In the end though, he still went along and they went to this place called The Cave. It was a small club of musicians who gathered to chill out or make some music. But The Cave was also famous for another thing. The performances. Every night at The Cave, they had a line up of musicians who would perform up on stage but there was a twist. Each of the musicians would sign up individually and they would be mixed on stage to perform with other musicians who signed up. "That doesn't seem right. How would you even play if you don't know who you're gonna play with?" Josh asked because he never played like that before. Normally, people would form a band, then practice some songs, then perform. This wasn't the case and Bell was about to open that world to Josh.

Mice In The Leaves
What it takes to feel alive.
I crunch my way through pine cones and sticks—feeling conspicuous in what seems to be complete isolation. Just walking and emptying my mind of the toxic smallness that clutters my life.
No plans. No cell phone. No blinking advertisements that demand attention. No details that dillute the meaning in the world and myself.
My solitary walk is care-free and filled with satisfaction until I sense a presence. Hidden all around me they breathe short puffs and watch me. Soundless. They are as alive as wide eyes allow. My foot collapses leaves as big as their bodies. The instict to survive motivates a few to scuttle beyond detection. I cannot see them but I feel the wonder in their hidden eyes— the fear that hushes them is all I need to feel alive.

The bathroom was fifthly. It was like they didn't clean it in time for my arrival and I arrived later than expected!!

Stayed for the one night to go and see Chemical Brothers at Winter Gardens. 15-20 minute walk away from the Tower. felt safe walking around the streets. Happy to leave bags at the hotel room. You get what you pay for, cheap and very convenient accommodation. Obviously there are thin walls, and tiny rooms. but if you're the complaining type, then maybe just dont come to Blackpool, you wouldn't have a nice experience. I had a whale of a time and would happily go back to the same hotel.

The Fresh Egg blog
Latest digital marketing news
Fresh Egg now offers Google Tag Manager training courses. Find out more here
Google Tag Manager (GTM) is not just for developers or those from a technical background so, if you want to know how you can use it, then read on (and don't forget to catch up with Part Two, coming soon).
One of the difficulties of maintaining tracking code and adding new tags to a website is relying on a developer to change the code. When you factor in all the other priorities your development team may have, tracking becomes just another job in their queue.
Tag Management Systems empower marketers to be able to add new tags without requiring code changes onsite. Google Tag Manager is one of these systems: a freely available application provided by Google.
It may sound scary to developers to give marketers this ability, but Google Tag Manager has a variety of safety mechanisms to put the developer's mind at ease! These include:
"I currently have a Google Tag Manager account in the old UI, when will the new UI be available to me?"
Any new accounts are now created in the New UI, there is no option to use the old UI when creating an account. There is also now an opt-in migration for any existing accounts.
Clicking the migration assistant button will bring up a list of accounts where you have the correct level of user access to migrate.
The process can take up to a few hours and you can still edit the container during this time. All containers are expected to be migrated automatically during July. All information on changes are kept in the google tag manager release notes.
The new interface is designed to be more user-friendly for people with non-technical backgrounds. The terminology has become clearer and the setup process more intuitive.
Google recommends that each company has its own account. Within that account you can have multiple containers for each of the company's websites or mobile apps. You can also add users to your accounts and containers with different levels of access:
For your first container, name it after the website or app you are going to use it on. For example "www.freshegg.co.uk".
After accepting the terms and conditions, you are provided with your container code. This must be placed on every page on your site that you wish to add tracking tags, too. It should be placed immediately after the opening tag.
If you don't do this this immediately, you can find the container code again, here:
Admin -> Install Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager has a hierarchical structure:
An account can have more than one container. You can also add/modify user permissions at both levels: you can give a user container access but not account access. It is best practice to only give the owner of the account full account-level access.
"How can I add a new user to a container?"
Go to Admin -> User Management -> New
An email address is used to identify the user.
The container is where you manage the tracking being added to your site through the container code snippet provided by Google.
Tags: Tags contain the tracking code that is added to your website. Google provides some templated tags for Google Analytics and other 3rd party tracking providers. You can also create custom HTML tags to suit your tracking requirements.
Triggers (used to be called rules): Triggers control when a tag should be fired: on certain pages or upon certain user interactions. These are called rules in the old interface. One tag can have more than one trigger: the tag will fire if any of the triggers' conditions are met.
Variables (used to be called macros): Variables store information about the page of your website and the element on it. You can reuse variables across any number of rules and tags. Google has predefined variables and you can set up your own.
The new interface provides an efficient method for using the Built-In Variables provided by Google. When you go to the variables page it will display the available built-in variables. Some are ticked by default. You can tick the ones you require to make them available to use at any time.
If you are looking to implement Google Analytics through Google Tag Manager then the first variable that you will find useful to setup is one for your tracking ID. Follow the steps below to do this:
You will reference your UA Tracking ID when setting up Universal Analytics page views and events. If it changes or you want to clone your container to use for another website, you only have to change it one place.
The next step to proceed with is setting up a Universal Analytics tag for firing pageview tracking to Google Analytics.
Go to Tags -> New
Select the following options at each stage in the process.
Triggers are integrated into the setup of a tag. If your tag has no trigger it will not fire. When using a Variable in a field, you'll notice it appears with the syntax {{Variable Name}}. The curly brackets are the syntax that tells Google Tag Manager this is a variable so don't remove these from a variable. Your tag is now set up, but you need to ensure you test it before publishing.
The preview option can be selected from the publish menu at the top right of your container. When you select the preview option, you will see a debug area appear on the website the container is on. Open a new tab for your website and you'll see a window at the bottom of the page, like the example screenshot:
The debug area will only appear in the same browser you are using Google Tag Manager in. In the summary, whenever an event is received by Google Tag Manager, it will show in the summary. You can click each of these to see which tags fired. We are expecting the tag we set up to fire at 'Pageview'.
You will see your tag in the 'Tags Fired On This Event" list if you've set this up correctly. There is always a list beneath with the tags that didn't fire.
"What is the most common reason a tag doesn't fire, how can I work it out?"
The most common reason for a tag not firing is that it doesn't meet its trigger conditions. To find out whether your tag met your trigger conditions, click on it in the list in the debug window.
Scroll until you see "Firing Triggers". There will be a green tick if the trigger was met and a red cross if it isn't.
"I'm having an issue in debug mode I can't work out, how can I get help?"
You can opt to share a preview of your version with other people so they can help. To do this, you go to the versions section and select "Share Preview" from the actions menu.
Note: You can't share a version that you are currently editing. You need to create a new "Now editing" version from the publish menu on the container page then share the previous version with your changes in.
You will need to provide the domain you are testing; using the link will allow a preview to be seen in different browsers and different computers.
Versions are drafts of your container. Versioning systems are often seen on Content Management Systems: The main function of a versioning system is to ensure you can always roll back to a working version if you accidentally publish something broken.
Once you're happy you can click that red publish button for your changes to be live on your website.
"How do I republish a previous version?"
Switch to the versions tab and select publish in the actions column of the version.
There is also an option to create a new draft version with the contents of the old version.
You can read part two of our series which shows you how to set up event tracking, such as clicks on mail to links and phone numbers.

19-year-old Eric Niles was pulled over by police in Norwalk, Connecticut after a chase on the interstate.
Niles shot himself in the head while sitting in the passenger seat when officers approached the truck.
Officials say that he's in grave condition.
The driver of the truck was 18-year-old Kristin Cates of Bradley.
Maine detectives are on their way to Connecticut to interview her.
Niles had been wanted for questioning in connection with a stolen truck, and the death of 20-year-old Blake Mishou of Greenbush.

Suffering from a stroke – whether it is experiencing it yourself or watching a loved one – can be a scary and devastating event.
A stroke happens when a blood vessel responsible for carrying oxygen to the brain clots or bursts, thereby depriving the brain of needed oxygen. Without that oxygen, brain cells, and even whole parts of the brain can die.
Want more information about strokes? Here are some facts:
- 795,000 people in the U.S. will suffer from a stroke this year.
- On average, one person dies from a stroke every four minutes, making strokes the fifth leading cause of death in the U.S.
- Females are more likely than males to suffer from strokes with an estimated 60% of people who suffer from strokes being female.
- Strokes are the leading cause of disability in American adults.
While the stroke itself is scary, what can be even scarier is wondering and not knowing what life will be like after.
While physical therapy does not reverse the brain damage caused by stroke, it can help stroke survivors relearn the skills they need to become independent again.
Recovering from a stroke all starts with a plan and a physical therapist to come up with a roadmap for a return to the best active life possible.
After a stroke survivors may have to re-learn things like walking, coordinating their legs to move, getting dressed and how to propel a wheelchair, especially they may not walk again.
Every stroke, like every person, is different making the development of individualized therapy plans important.
Stroke survivors – and often their family members helping them through their recovery – will meet with a physical therapist to develop a personalized plan for relearning the skills needed for independent living.
Family members play an important role for stroke survivors as they often need to be there for rehabilitation appointments to learn the exercises to complete at home and to help better understand the caregiver's role in recovery.
So what does an active life look like after a stroke? Physical therapists employ a wide variety of strategies to help stroke survivors learn to live again.
They emphasize practicing isolated and repetitive movements that require coordination and balance, skills that need to be mastered to accomplish tasks like walking up stairs or navigating around obstacles in a room. Therapists also utilize selective sensory stimulation such as tapping or stroking, active and passive range-of-motion exercises and the temporary restraint of healthy limbs. While practicing, these motor tasks, patients can relearn skills or practice workarounds for skills that are no longer possible.
Physical therapy, and physical activity each day, in general, has been shown to benefit survivors in ways above and beyond the physical aspects of increased mobility. Physical activity alone helps survivors' outlooks, builds strength, increases endurance and decreases risk factors for cardiac disease, which may translate into a reduced mortality risk for stroke and heart disease.
While physical therapy can be very helpful after a stroke, it is not a magical solution.
Rehabilitation may take months or years, depending on the severity of the stroke and is heavily reliant on practice at home.
Support from family members and adherence to any rehabilitation plan developed by a medical team can help stroke survivors regain more normalcy in their life. Strokes can be devastating but do not have to result in a total loss of independence. Physical therapy can help.

My question is related to the inventory queries that already hit the printers on the network. Out of the box Spiceworks has done a brillant job of identifying the printers on the network and providing information pertaining to make/model and even toner quantities. Is it possible, or does someone already know of a way to have it pull printer meter readings. I'm faced with paying for software that will simply query the network for printers and actually pulls meter readings, and would much rather have my all in one IT solution handle such a feature.

Thank you for all your help. However, on Color Printers, I need a report that tells me Total Prints, Total B&W Prints and Color Prints; not just total Prints (of B&W and color combined).
