The use of Horizontal Subsurface Constructed Wetlands (HSCWs) for treating wastewaters in small communities has increased in the last years due to HSCW's ecological singularities. Unfortunately, the same singularities that differentiate HSCWs complicate any attempt to develop models and produce generic decision-support systems for them. Classical mathematical and statistical approaches used in other Wastewater Treatment Plants do not properly fit the particularities of HSCW and provide little insight in the domain of HSCW. We introduce a novel approach based on logic-based declarative specifications, i.e. non-monotonic causal logic, to capture explicit and implicit knowledge about HSCWs. By expressing all the relevant aspects of a HSCW in a declarative way, we produce a logic-based model which captures features that other approaches fail to formalize. At the end, we produce a complete decision-support system based on that model and test it against a set of realistic scenarios validated by experts. We discuss in which aspects this approach performs better than the most commonly proposed solutions in the bibliography and why it does so.

What will I work on as a GameChanger?
GameChangers will spend the first half of the year researching one of the following four contributing causes of rape culture:
Rigid gender roles & expectations
Culture of hypersexualization
Acceptance of violence over systemically oppressed groups
Sexual entitlement & cultural misperceptions of consent
In the second half of the school year, GameChangers will develop a number of projects in response to these issues, to be completed by the end of the 2016-17 school year.
What can I expect from my experience as a GameChanger?
Rape Crisis Center is committed to the development of young people, and will pay each student $8.33/hour, to be paid monthly. Rape Crisis Center will also provide:
reimbursement for travel mileage to and from every meeting
materials for the final projects

Jim sat there calmly, holding the unknown woman's limp hand. She was fine as far as Jim had been able to tell, but still unconscious. It was good to know the woman would be fine.
Jim turned to see Terst and Dre entering the room with panic on their faces. He remembered to ship hitting something, so this was expected. Jim, who had initially thought of this whole scenario as exciting, was now beginning to hate it. He was tired, he was cold, and he was annoyed of the constant work.
"What is it? Did you wreck us already?" Jim was annoyed, sure, but he would keep his sarcastic tone and joking manner up for these kids. They needed someone to be calm.
"We hit another ship!" Terst said.
"Full of zombies!" Dre added.
'Damn it,' Jim thought, 'Where's my break, God?' Jim got up and told Dre to stay with the unconscious woman. He didn't want her waking up alone and there was their bag of guns on the floor beside her. He had lost his sword and shield, but his guns had survived. It would have to do.
Jim walked into into the control room with Terst on his heels. He ignored Charlie sitting in one of the chairs and stared through the glass at the other ship. From it's looks, Jim guessed it was a cruise liner. With it being night, Jim couldn't see much other than that, though.
'Wait...' On the deck of the other ship, something moved. Then, something else followed. Jim realized with horror what he saw, then.
Dozens, maybe even a hundred, of the walking corpses were climbing over the railing and onto the cargo ship that Jim and the others were in.
"Damnit!" Jim shouted, startling the two kids. He had to think. They didn't have the ammuntion to kill all of the creatures unless the kids had perfect marksmanship, and Jim wasn't even that good. Unless...
"Terst!" the boy turned from looking out the window and met Jim's eyes. "Go grab a gun and head downstairs to check the holding area. Make sure the other exit is able to be locked up." The kid looked confused but thankfully ran off to do as told. From the looks of the corpses on the deck, it would be a while before they reached the cargo area, so Terst was safe so long as he hurried.
"Why do that?" Charlie asked, reminding Jim she was still there.
"We're going to lock them in," Jim replied, growing gloomy. "I'll need someone to be bait and draw them through the cargo area, though..." Charlie acquired a shocked look, realizing he meant her.
Before she could answer, though, another voice spoke. "I'll do it."
Jim and Charlie turned to see Dre standing in the control rooms doorway with the woman Jim had found. He was about to tell the boy no, but remembered his athletic skills. Jim hated it, but he also was glad it was Dre and not Charlie. Out of all the people in his life, none had treated him like a normal guy like Charlie had. She was like the sister he never had.
Or, rather, niece with their age difference.
"Go, then. Watch out for any people escaping them. Save any you find if you can but don't risk yourself. We've already lost Charlie's mo-"
"She's alive."
Jim shook his head, but ignored Charlie's comment in the end. She needed to accept reality. "Just do what you can. I'll grab a weapon and cover you when you get back here." Jim headed toward the door, and the woman who stood quietly.
"Miss?" Jim asked her gently, "Can you tell me your name?"
The woman looked shocked that he had spoken to her. "Clayra.... Clayra Windheil..." she said with a slight German accent.
"Well, Clayra," Jim said, "This is Charlie and Dre." The two of them waved as he said their names. Clayra waved back at them, a weak smile forming on her red lips. "And I am Jim."
Jim was about to ask her to wait with Charlie when a scream came to life in the distance. Jim ran to the window, searching for it's source. Another scream came to life and Bain realized where the scream had come from.
The other ship.
'No breaks, I tell ya.' Jim went for his pack of guns to grab the only weapon he trusted.
His spear.

Long Term Residential Drug & Alcohol Treatment Programs In Georgia
One of the things that often confuse people when it comes to drug treatment programs in the state of Georgia is why so many of them are government funded. Since many of the state's drug addicts are unable to hold down a job, they are not paying any taxes, so no one sees a reason why they should be benefiting.
There are two reasons why the government steps in and helps finance the addicts stay at a Georgia state residential drug therapy program. The first explanation is easy. If the addict is able to get cleaned up, there is a chance that they can become a productive member of society. This means that they will be able to get a job and start paying taxes. That alone justifies paying their way through the rehab program.
The second reason the government feels that the use of Medicare is a reasonable way to finance a person's stint in rehab is because it has been discovered that the addiction really is not the addicts fault. There is some sort of chemical imbalance that forces them to rely on drugs so that they can feel good. Considering this information, the government feels that drug addicts deserve the same respect and financial help as anyone else who is dealing with any other form of mental illness. That is also why no one is ever a recovered addict, but is always referred to as a recovering addict.
The one thing the state government might want to consider is trying to come up with the funding for more long term programs. Studies have indicated that people who go through a long term (usually 3+ months) residential drug therapy program are significantly more likely to stay sober than an addict that has only gone through a 28 day program.
90-Day Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers in Georgia
Currently in the state of Georgia, there are just over 30 different drug and alcohol treatment programs that will provide a 90-day program for drug and alcohol addicts. These programs will offer a wide variety of different treatment options such as, meetings, group counseling, individual counseling, cognitive therapy, and various other forms of traditional therapy. There will also typically be all of the amenities needed on-site to live there for the 90-day period.

Bestop Soft Top Liner....Problem#2
Last year I purchased the Bestop liner, for soft tops, and reported that it was inadequately designed and needed to be re-thought. The Bestop on this forum told me to call customer service; no doubt you can imagine how that went.
There is another more serious problem: If you try to fold back the front of your soft top the liner must be removed. If you decide not to put the liner front back on you MUST cover the Velcro strip attached to the front assembly of the soft top...if you don't it will slowly wear away the interior part of your soft top. I found a 2" strip of wear on my soft top after I removed the liner.
This is a disaster as the wear through is almost to the exterior vinyl. Thanks Bestop for the heads-up on this Velcro issue, last thing I get from Bestop.
It just kind of makes sense to me that this is not a product you would want if you plan on actually lowering your top. In which case you should have a hard top. I don't see how this is an indictment on the entire product line.
I'm sorry for your experience Steam, but logic would dictate that the hooks on velcro are abrasive. It only makes sense that you wouldn't want them contacting another surface for an extended period of time. Perhaps the design could be improved by swapping the mating surfaces of the velcro, so that the loops were the part contacting the softtop when the liner is pulled back....

Brilliant and dedicated they may be, but it's worth noting that most TV cops usually only catch their culprit after they've killed several people. The FBI's track record is - thankfully - much better. They don't worry about pesky irritations like the law for a start.
After the likes of Without A Trace, Criminal Minds, Millennium, The Inside, Bones, and Num3ers, the latest FBI-based crime show from one of the American networks (Fox) is Standoff.
Standoff has Ron Livingston (Jack Berger from Sex & The City) with Rosemarie DeWitt (Love Monkey) as two all-American, plastic-perfect heroes from the FBI's Crisis Negotiation Unit.
Each week, after some witty banter that shows they're in love, they talk a hijacker/kidnapper from a hostage situation down just before the macho fuckwad from the squad's Swat team blows him away. "In life and in love," the show suggests, apparently seriously, "everything is a negotiation." Amen to that.
Now, you've got to love anyone who binned Sarah Jessica Hagface by Post-It note, but Livingston is just too boring to carry a cop show. Moonlighting, this ain't. We know that with every other hostage situation, one of two star-crossed lovers is going to tell the other, "you walk in there and there IS no us" (as Livingston did last week).
Bones is the same his'n'her formula. Cold Case lite. Like a lot of cop shows, including Standoff, its token black character is the team's boss - presumably to defend it from any accusations of prejudice.
The star of the show - "forensic anthropologist" Dr Temperance Brennan (!) - has so much extraordinary/ridiculous equipment in her lab, she makes Sam Ryan from Silent Witness or CSI's Calleigh Duquesne look like the Luddites doing the autopsies in Heartbeat.
Each week, having reassembled the latest corpse to land on their slab, the team produce a hologram of the victim's head or face which floats around the room before their boss's eyes, spinning and dripping silver spangles like something from David Copperfield.
Making no attempt to justify this as something really feasible, even Brennan's boss refers to it as "that magic, holographic, crystal ball thingy."
The stories in Bones are fine but the show is just too generic.
Like The Inside's Rebecca Locke, Temperance has a disturbed past (her mother was murdered and her dad has disappeared). While her boss is only interested in securing a conviction, Brennan is a maverick intent on discovering "the truth", however inconvenient. Like every other TV cop, she is preternaturally brilliant, has no private life and "bad people skills" - ie, she is better with bones (geddit?!).
As for her team, like the CSI babes and beauties, they all have lovely hair, super smart tightly cut trouser suits, flattering cashmere jumpers, and too much make-up. Not to mention the women.
The FBI agent in The State Within, the BBC's classy, creepy, Washington-based conspiracy thriller, Bones/Cold Case-ish redhead George Blake certainly has her work cut out.
After Thursday's fourth episode, suddenly everything was clear. Here's a brief outline: videos left by the now-executed British death row prisoner Luke Gardner revealed that, in 1999, Gardner was one of a bunch of mercenaries employed by CMC Operations in Tyrgyztan to provide counter-insurgency training for the President.
President Usman blamed their massacre of 187 villagers on his opponent, Eshan Borisvitch - brother-in-law of the British Ambassador, Mark Brydon's best friend, James Sinclair.
Gardner's former colleagues have since been smuggling nerve gas, blowing up a plane over the Washington beltway, and knocking off numerous witnesses.
Everything Brydon (Jason Isaacs) does is being monitored and recorded - possibly by the FBI, or by the superbly sinister MacIntyre, who is, presumably, working for American secretary of defence Lynne Warner (the even-scarier Sharon Gless).
Confused? Well, this is as clear as things have been so far.
"This makes Watergate look like a parking violation!" British human rights lawyer Jane Lavery shrieked.
This was shortly before she handed over the only evidence to the Ambassador's double-crossing right-hand man, Mr Evil himself, Nicholas Brocklehurst (Ben Daniels, who has come a long way from being mean to manicurists in Cutting It).
"You didn't show it to anyone did you?" Brocklehurst dissembled.
"Do I look stupid?" Lavery bridled.
Well now you do, yes.
Isaacs is very much the man of the moment, of course, bringing a sense of elegant detachment to his roles as both the Ambassador and sociopath Michael Caffee in Brotherhood.
With four episodes of this relentlessly intense study of ambition, the Feds have, seemingly, been and gone, after the undercover FBI officer who had infiltrated Caffee's inner circle (as it were) was shot by the two cops who were (albeit reluctantly) shadowing Caffee. Damn.
Caffee then took over the job of disposing of the dead body for them, thus allowing him to leg it around Providence running protection rackets and cutting people's ears off with even more impunity than ever.
"These are your people," the FBI boss implored. "You have to talk to them."
"Hey," one of Providence's two cops snarled back. "They like us about as much as we like you."
Monday's episode sees Michael taking a Sopranos-style road-trip to collect 100 grand for Freddi Cork from three Russian gangsters.
He takes his ex-girlfriend along, at one point dispelling her ideas about gangsters by telling her, coldly, "You're right. I am a criminal. OK? It's not fun. Or attractive. It's really fucking ugly. But it's what I do."
And you've got to say, he does it very well.

I tried to murder my pain
But it kept consuming me
Peering into my empty morals
Inside a corpse's shell I rot
My core so numb I feel undone
Bid me from blood shed
Always kept from the light to salvation
I've never been awake, dead since I was born
The addiction is overshadowing me in the night
Surrounded by lies and pretending perfects
Why don't they see what I see?
They take in so much self-indulgence it feeds them
Bowing down to the wondrous beings
But the one's you look up to are just as messed up as you
Realizing the sad truth, knowing some think nothing of you
Another slice has caused me to sin, but I do it for I am hurt
This habit can never be broken; I've loved the cool metal to my skin
The slow slitting, and the cut seeps crimson rubies feels like freedom
It's occurred; every scratch is worth it, finger-painting the walls
Picking every bit of decency of me is what causes my hatred
I run inside, shut tight, and lock my door
Catching my breaths, I clutch the shivering cold blade
Anger, worthlessness, unwanted, unappreciated, taken-advantaged of
All why I do what I do
What's worth fighting for now?
To live longer? To actually suffer more in the polluted world?
I wouldn't want to suffer while living in the great black abyss
Flooding with crawling, conniving vermin filled with deceptions
I feel this way because of how other's feel everyday
The rape, murder, and scams
All for people's greed and pride
I've felt this pain; I've suffered for other's greed and pride
The selfishness they have pushes people to their limits
But when it's all over, I'll smile down on their graves

Passing It On - How the past Can Empower Our Present (1 of 6) by Joe Alain
This content is part of a series.Passing It On - How the past Can Empower Our Present (1 of 6)
Series: Deuteronomy
Joe Alain
Deuteronomy 4:9-14
''What you remember, you are likely to do.'' Think of all that you have to do in a given week. Get the kids up and off to school, plan meals, make trips to the grocery store, pay bills, make various appointments and meetings, not to mention basketball and cheerleading practice, dance classes, etc. If you're like me, if it's not something that is a part of your normal schedule, you better write it down otherwise you will forget.
Moses knew how forgetful the Israelites were and so he says in Deuteronomy 4:9, ''Only be on your guard and diligently watch yourselves, so that you don't forget the things your eyes have seen so that they don't slip from your mind as long as you live. Teach them to your children and grandchildren.'' Moses was well aware that they had trouble remembering even the amazing miracles of God's grace they had witnessed in the desert. If the generation standing before him was prone to forget, how in the world would their children ever learn and remember the lessons of obedience?
This passage helps us to understand that Moses was not worried about a simple memory lapse on the people's part. He was concerned that God's commands would slip from their hearts, that they would grow lackadaisical in their obedience. And if the parents became careless in following God, where would their children end up?
It's essential for us as believers to remember the Lord and our past experiences with Him so that we will be empowered to fulfill God's Word in our lives in the present. ''What you remember, you are likely to do.'' If we keep our relationship with God alive and fresh in the present, this relationship that began for us in the past, we will be motivated and empowered to live in obedience to God's Word. Believers, God's people do have a past with God that empowers our present.
This particular passage can be seen in two parts: ...

Just keep pulling on the back plate with the lcd towards you. The shiny thing will eventually pop off. It doesn't feel right while you're doing it. It feels as if you will break it. But I just kept taking the back off and it just popped off the shiny thing.

This Post Is By Pastor Dennis Smith of Holy Spirit Ministries.
Pastor Smith is Author of "The Baptism of the Holy Spirit". Spirit Baptism is a Great Read That Will Guide you into A Close Intimate Walk With Jesus, The Only One Who Can Save You!! Details and links are at the end of this post.
Christians of Past Generations
The Lord has given us examples in both the Bible and history of individuals who have learned lessons in life as the struggled to enter into the victorious life the Bible calls them to attain. Paul tells us that "all these things happened unto them for examples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come" 1Corinthians 10:11. One such example is that of J. Hudson Taylor, the well known 19th century missionary to China.
Taylor experienced frustration, confusion, and discouragement at the beginning of his service for the Lord. At the age of thirty-seven he shared his inner most feelings with his mother in a letter. In it we read of the feelings of failure and defeat he felt because of his inability to be faithful to His Lord in all things. Taylor wrote:
"My own position becomes continually more and more responsible, and my need greater of special grace to fill it; but I have continually to mourn that I follow at such a distance and learn so slowly to imitate my precious master. I cannot tell you how I am buffeted sometimes by temptation. I never knew how bad a heart I had. Yet I do know that I love God and love His work, and desire to serve Him only in all things. And I value above all things that precious Savior in Whom alone I can be accepted. Often I am tempted to think that one so full of sin cannot be a child of God at all; but I try to throw it back, and rejoice all the more in the preciousness of Jesus, and in the riches of that grace that has made us 'accepted in the Beloved.' Beloved He is of God; beloved He ought to be of us. But oh, how short I fall here again! May God help me to love Him more and serve Him better. Do pray for me. Pray that the Lord will keep me from sin, will sanctify me wholly, will use me more largely in His service."
John McCarthy, a fellow missionary in China, wrote Taylor a letter describing a recent understanding he had come to concerning victory over temptation through Christ. In the letter McCarthy wrote:
"To let my loving Savior work in me His will, my sanctification is what I would live for by His grace. Abiding, not striving or struggling; looking off unto Him; trusting Him for present power;…resting in the love of an almighty Savior, in the joy of a complete salvation, 'from all sin'—this is not new, and yet 'tis new to me. I feel as though the dawning of a glorious day had risen upon me. I hail it with trembling, yet with trust. I seem to have got to the edge only, but of a boundless sea; to have sipped only, but of that which fully satisfies. Christ literally all seems to me, now, the power, the only power for service, the only ground for unchanging joy. May he lead us into the realization of His unfathomable fullness…Not a striving to have faith…but a looking off to the Faithful One seems all we need; a resting in the Loved One entirely, for time and for eternity."
God used this letter to open Taylor's eyes to the wonderful truth of our abiding in Christ and His abiding in us; the truth of the mystery of the believer's union with Christ. From that day forward Taylor's walk with God was one of peace, rest and victory in Christ. This amazing change could be seen by his colleagues in ministry who said, "Mr. Taylor went out, a new man in a new world, to tell what the Lord had done for his soul."
Taylor wrote his sister in England seeking to explain to her this wonderful truth he had discovered and the marvelous experience he was having in His Lord. He said:
"As to work, mine was never so plentiful, so responsible, or so difficult; but the weight and strain are all gone. The last month or more has been perhaps, the happiest of my life; and I long to tell you a little of what the Lord has done for my soul. I do not know how far I may be able to make myself intelligible about it, for there is nothing new or strange or wonderful – and yet, all is new! In a word, 'Whereras once I was blind, now I see.'
"When my agony of soul was at it height, a sentence in a letter from dear McCarthy was used to remove the scales from my eyes, and the Spirit of God revealed the truth of our oneness with Jesus as I had never known it before. McCarthy, who had been much exercised by the same sense of failure, but saw the light before I did, wrote (I quote from memory): 'But how to get faith strengthened? Not by striving after faith, but by resting on the Faithful One.'
"As I read I saw it all! 'If we believe not, he abideth faithful.' I looked to Jesus and saw (and when I saw, oh, how joy flowed!) I thought. 'I have striven in vain to rest in Him. I'll strive no more. For has He not promised to abide with me – never to leave me, never to fail me?' And, dearie, He never will!"
Taylor went on in his letter to describe how the Lord had opened up his understanding concerning Christ's words that He is the vine and the believers are the branches. He wrote: "Oh, the joy of seeing this truth!" Then he said:
"The sweetest part, if one may speak of one part being sweeter than another, is the rest which full identification with Christ brings. I am no longer anxious about anything, as I realize this; for He, I know, is able to carry out His will, and His will is mine. It makes no matter where He places me, or how. That is rather for Him to consider than for me; for in the easiest positions He must give me His grace, and in the most difficult His grace is sufficient."
Yes, J. Hudson Taylor found the secret of victory in his walk with God and great peace in all circumstances of service for Christ. God offers to each of His children this same victory and peace. Do you desire such victory and peace? My prayer is that all who read this book will find just that – victory and peace in Christ; a joy that seemed so impossible to attain before.

Basicly what i wont to know is if the ticket will hold in court since without a reason for me to be pulled over in the first place i shouldn't have been ticket for no proof of insurance. The ticket should have another reason on it because there is no way for an officer to know if i have or do not have insurance so if i get a ticket just for that there should be another reason and since there is no other reason then the ticket should be thrown out. Someone please help me becasue this really upsets me and i feel like my rights are being messed with.
An officer has discretion on whether to issue you a notice of infraction (ticket), and if you have more than one violation, the officer can cite you for only one violation if the officer so desires.
A no insurance ticket is a nonmoving violation. If you had insurance but did not have proof on you, you can get the ticket reduced substantially. If you didn't have insurance and get insurance a day or more after you were cited, many courts will still reduce the fine.Ask a similar question
No reason for you to be pulled over? You were driving without your lights whether you think it's 5 feet or 5 miles. Once stopped the cop has a right to check driver's license, registration and insurance. If he only wrote you a ticket for the latter that's his choice. Would you have preferred 2 charges instead of te one you got?Ask a similar question
If you own the car, you are responsible for ensuring that you maintain continuous insurance coverage on that vehicle. As long as you have a plate from DMV, you must maintain insurance. Only after you surrender the plate can you cancel the insurance.Ask a similar question

Scientists Can Grow Stem Cells in 30 Minutes
Rich Hua stashed this in Science
Stashed in: Science!, Science Too, Factoids, Stem Cells
It's hard not to think about that being how long it takes to get a pizza delivered.
This is a real breakthrough:
To demonstrate the potential of the cells, the scientists injected them into mouse embryos and showed that they grew into tissues and organs throughout the animals' bodies.
Haruko Obokata at the Riken lab in Kobe, Japan, told the Guardian that her team had created several dozen mice that had tissues grown from the cells, and had followed their health for one to two years. "So far they appear to be healthy, fertile, and normal," she said.
The finding has stunned many researchers because previous attempts to make stem cells have been fraught with difficulties. One route is cloning, which is controversial because it involves the creation and destruction of embryos. A more recent method, called induced pluripotency, uses genetic manipulation to convert adult cells into a more flexible, immature state.
The work, reported in two papers in the journal Nature, was "a major scientific discovery that will be opening a new era in stem-cell biology," said Dusko Ilic, a stem-cell scientist at King's College London.
His enthusiasm was shared by Chris Mason, a stem-cell expert at University College London. "If it works in man, this could be the game changer that ultimately makes a wide range of cell therapies available using the patient's own cells as starting material," he said.
Obokata started work on the procedure five years ago while working at Harvard Medical School. The idea came to her after noticing by chance that cells that had been squeezed through a thin tube shrank to the size of stem cells. She went on to look more closely at what effects different kinds of stress – from heat, starvation and acidic conditions – had on cells.
After years of perfecting the experiments, Obokata showed that she could convert white blood cells taken from newborn mice into cells that behaved very much like stem cells. She went on to do the same with brain, skin, muscle, bone marrow, lung and liver cells. "It was very surprising to see that such a remarkable transformation could be triggered simply by stimuli from the outside," she said.
Obokata had trouble convincing other scientists, and her paper on the work was rejected several times. She eventually completed enough cross-checks to satisfy researchers that the findings were real.
Thank goodness! Can we finally stop harvesting fetal stem cells now that they are redundant?
That would be the implication. It's a win-win.
The only thing I'm not sure of is how long it will take to mainstream this stem cell growing process.

Nvidia is losing another exclusive partner
The number of Nvidia's exclusive board partners is decreasing. Albatron has announced the first Ati GPU based graphics card.
In order to offer a bigger variety to the customers, the Taiwan based company Albatron has decided to offer an Ati based graphics card. The Radeon HD4890-1G is, as the name indicates, equipped with Ati's RV790 chip. In the announcement no clock speeds are mentioned, but one might expect that they will match Ati's default values. Thus the RV790 chip is expected to run at 850 MHz while the 1,024 MiByte GDDR5 VRAM should be set to 1,950 MHz.
According to the Press Release the Radeon HD4890-1G won't be Albatron's only Ati graphics card. The product array is said to be extended soon.
Thus Albatron is, after Palit, Evga and Xfx, the fourth board partner who quits Nvidia exclusiveness.

Hello ..we need to check the type of ulcers that you are getting..and then find the underlying cause..treating the underlying cause can only be a permanent solution..ulcers can be due to various causes like sharp edges of teeth causing cheek bite etc..or due to vitamin bcomplex ,or zinc or folic acid or iron deficiency..it can also be a result of some underlying gastrointestinal problem..sometimes certain foods like some citrus fruits can trigger the ulcers..so only after a proper consultation we can know the cause and then treat..you can relieve the burning sensation during food by applying mucopain gel before eating and kindly keep yourself as hydrated as possible..

To prove that we are all alike, try this simple experiment: Hold your hand up to a light of some kind. You'll see a shadow cast nearby. Now, have someone of a different race hold their hand up too. You'll see, essentially, the same image. Five fingers and a palm. Skin color doesn't matter when you get right down to it. If you are against racism, copy this message into your profile.

I am having difficultly understanding that I need to write float in
front of numbers when I am creating new variables in order to
compensate for precision issues. I have read "the penultimate guide to
precision" by William Gould but it does not seem to answer my problem.
For example if we look at (using Stata 12)
sysuse auto, clear
at the first row and column "gear_ratio", the value appears to be 3.58
when in reality when you click on it, it is 3.579999. I understand the
reasoning behind this and understand if I want to create a variable
for example that is greater than or equal to 3.58 I should type
gen newvariable=1 if gear_ratio>=float(3.58)
Surely there is no need to type float for every variable that you
create in a dataset? Is there a way to set this up for your whole
dataset? Or change the default setting?

By Stuart Burns
It's good to see how wrong some captains of industry get things at times. Not, I hasten to add, out of any sense of schadenfreude, but simply because it makes us feel in good company.
While Rio Tinto (NYSE:RIO) received words of warning from various quarters prior to the (with hindsight, eye-wateringly high) $38.1 billon price it paid for Alcan back in 2007, it still went ahead with it and shareholders have since suffered the consequences.
Jack Farchy in the FT, details the destruction in value that has befallen Rio Tinto since, to illustrate the wider malaise of the aluminum market. Just two years later, Rio was forced to raise $15.2 billion from shareholders and has since written down its aluminum assets by $8.9 billion.
Dick Evans, then the Alcan chief executive, is quoted as having identified two mistakes. The first was simply that Rio Tinto did not anticipate the financial crisis, which put a brake on global commodity demand and caused prices to collapse.
No great criticism there, but Rio also misread the market. Evans is quoted as saying of Alcan's board, that it recognized aluminum had nowhere to go and "would have accepted 20% less than the final price." Board members knew what Rio (maybe with their background in iron ore and copper) did, that aluminum was not part of the super-cycle and although demand was rising fast, supply was rising even faster.
Even though the global aluminum market has increased from 1.5 million tons in 1950 to 44 million tons in 2011, the valuations of the leading producers by output - Rusal, Alcoa (NYSE:AA), Rio Tinto, Chinese Chalco and Norsk Hydro (OTCQX:NHYDY) - have collectively collapsed from almost $200 billion five years ago to about $65 billion today and profits have proportionately slumped.
Nor, says the FT, is there any end to the situation soon. With conservatively some 10 million tons of aluminum inventory around the world, the market is technically well-supplied, although in the short- to medium-term, that metal is locked in financing deals.
Maybe of more consequence is the structural shift in the supply side that has taken place.
(To be continued)

Glossary of Terms
Blood is a fluid composed of cells and plasma that flow in the arteries and veins of the body. The cellular components of blood are red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets. Plasma is the fluid component of blood that carries red and white blood cells to the body's organs as well as the nutrients and by-products of metabolism. Red cells, by far the most common cell component in blood, give blood its red color. Red cells contain hemoglobin, a protein that allows red cells to carry oxygen to the tissues and bring CO2 (carbon dioxide) back to the lungs, where the CO2 is exchanged for a new charge of oxygen. White cells are important in fighting infections, while platelets are crucial to proper clotting. Plasma, which contains many proteins, carries nutrients and helps bring the by-products of metabolism to the liver and kidneys for processing or elimination.

I would like to know what a calendar holder is and to see a picture of one and where to purchase one. Thanks
Calendar holders, or calendar frames, for wall calendars are frames, often made of wood, but sometimes other materials, such as wrought iron, that act just like a picture frame. The wall calendar hangs within the frame, to make it look more finished on the wall. Unfortunately, we do not offer these at this time. You can find them, however, via online, such as on Amazon.com. Some publishers, like Lang, make frames trimmed to fit their particular calendars, but you might be able to use them for calendars from other publishers. Just check the sizes of the calendar you wish to frame, using the dimensions given for when the calendar is open. To view some calendar frame options, try searching for "calendar frame" or "calendar holder" on Amazon.com.
There are also simpler calendar hangers or hooks that do not frame all sides, but just have a decorative top from which to hang the calendar--for these, you don't have to worry as much about calendar size, although you might want to match the width as closely as possible.
Love this product, but can't buy as I don't know it's measurements :(
You should put the sizes on all the descriptions of your calenders, as we are limited to what will fit in our holder :(
I agree with Marlene. The size of the calendar is the first thing I look for. For anyone who uses calendar frames (most people I know anyway) this is very important.
I would also likely make a purchase if measurement information was included.
The Old Farmer's Almanac Country calendar is 10-7/8" wide x 21-3/4" tall when open. Our Gardening, Weather Watcher's, and Recipes wall calendars are 10-7/8" wide x 16-3/4" tall when open. You can find this information on the Almanac.com Web page describing an individual calendar. For example:
You should see a second arrow underneath the description paragraph, stating "Size:" (just above the Item number). Hope this helps!
I am proud to purchase a calendar and goods that reflect the American spirit and community, Made and Printed in the USA.
Goods that reflect our country should be made in the USA.

xlnt value & very cute
I purchased this comforter set for my 14 year old daughter. She was concerned that it would be more purple than pink but its very pink! She loves the colors & print. Comforter is not to thin and everything fit her bed nicely. When her 7 year old cousin saw it, her mother ordered one for her also. Great color & print for any pre-teen or teenage girl. Great value!
