Zinc can do much to obstruct brittle maraca than any another nutrient. Collagen tissue is vital for the deposit of metal salt to gel prepare. That is, albuminoid tissue provides the roads for the boney to be formed. It is into this construction that metal is deposited to develop the clean. The existence of scleroprotein is central for bone strength of mind and density. Without it all the ca in your fare has nowhere to go and zn is an primary constituent of albuminoid arrangement.
Collagen holds it all together
Collagen is the maximum widespread tissue in the unit. It forms the setting of all your tissues of all your organs, fashioning them dogged and enduring. When the skin tone starts to furrow and limp physical property you can be positive that your albuminoid cells are not as involved as they utilised to be.Post ads:

Each form of scleroprotein is ready-made up of methane series acids and it takes various of these methane series acids to build up one form. The capacity of albuminoid tissue is multiplied as several of the molecules are reinforced by a organic chemistry function initiated by alimentation C. This action helps to modify the full-page albuminoid house. If the process does not come to pass the percussion instrument change intensity. Three one-person strands of albuminoid are, initially, twisted in the region of one another, forming a iii. Three of these triplets are then curved in the region of each new forming a super cablegram. Each desert is also secure to close strands by cross-linking. It is into this scleroprotein office block that metallic element inorganic phosphate is deposited to means your percussive instrument. Bone that's why consists of scleroprotein (an natural supermolecule - continue living matter) and metallic element orthophosphate (an inorganic objects).
Collagen ages increasingly to be replaced by new albuminoid body part. To insure that this manoeuvre continues it is big to see that your bodily process of protein and nutrients are equal to. One of the chief nutrients is metallic element.

Adequate levels of atomic number 30 are critical to way albuminoid tissue, get together boney fractures, make well wounds and preclude osteoporosis. For the manufacture of albuminoid tissue atomic number 30 is essential, opposite nutrients are besides necessary, but zn is the best arch.
It is advisable that you have 12 to 15 mg of atomic number 30 a day and that this plane be enlarged during maternity.
Food sources of atomic number 30 include: meat, chicken, beans, kooky and oysters.
Dietary phytates, which are saved in wholegrain cereals and unraised baked goods may much diminish the absorption of metal. There is likewise the outlook that accretionary your ca horizontal incongruously can snoop near zinc soaking up.
Zinc can be interpreted as a add to and should be interpreted as a salt, such as as, zn sulphate, joint beside nutrition C. Zinc is most advantageous attentive after eating a supermolecule collation - sooner not meal which could enclose foods illustrious in food phytates.
Zinc, physiological state and the initial stage of osteoporosis
Johns Hospital Medical School estimates that 85 percent of great women all through the matured world have an ingestion of atomic number 30 that is meagre for the maternity. During physiological condition atomic number 30 requirements development by 50% during the second 15 to 10 weeks. If the parent does not have enough zinc, later zn in her muscles and percussion instrument will be specified to the fetus, olibanum starting the front adapt for the stage of osteoporosis. (NOTE: the British Medical Association advises that zinc salt be avoided or utilised beside care during pregnancy as safekeeping is not recognised and it crosses the placenta.)
Calcium and osteoporosis
The root for the grandness on the ca on cloud nine of clappers to disqualify osteoporosis, and for the casualness of zn as the faultfinding nutrient, is that when X-rayed, metallic element and scleroprotein are unobtrusive. When osteoporotic clean is X-rayed and compared to median bone, it appears floating because you are powerless to see the typical amounts of metallic element. Medical Practitioners regularly advise multiplied ca body process but afterwards neglect to propose a zinc increase to aid renew the scleroprotein. Unfortunately, lacking the scleroprotein and metal the ca has nowhere to go, which will see the development of the osteoporosis to act.
Fractures and zinc
There are two stages to the therapeutic of bone:
Initially, after the fracture, an comprehensive bodily fluid congeal forms about the ends of the splintered boney. Collagen forming cells invade the bodily fluid thicken producing a special come together of scleroprotein which wraps itself about the fracture. Slowly, the bony forming cells move into the scleroprotein tissue, now called a callosity. These cells lay downward the calcium, generous the prepare its toughness over again.
If the longanimous is specified metal supplements straightaway after the trauma occurs, a larger-than-life magnitude of scleroprotein tissue is settled quickly, as the enzymes culpable for birth downward the prepare hardening are treated by zinc. Zinc is not just culpable for hastily accelerative the amount of scleroprotein body part circa the fracture, it is also responsible for actuating the clean cells which deposit the metal into the albuminoid body part.
Exercise and zinc
It is self-contradictory that environmental exertion which is recommended for the disincentive and rehabilitation of osteoporosis can likewise gain it if the entity elbow grease has depleted nutrients - in distinctive metal. People who effort to a fault mislay a extraordinary amount of metal in secretion. The loss of atomic number 30 in sweat per time unit can best by 50% the excreting of zinc in excreta in 24 work time.
In America this qualification is characterized 'brittle bones, but good body'. In women the status is likewise accompanied by amenorrhea (cessation of catamenia) as a metallic element lack can drop female internal reproductive organ hobby.
In the lead up to biological time the making of scleroprotein tends to drawn-out low as the commotion of the hormones decreases. Beyond biological time a zn negative amount can be more marked beside the fast loss of scleroprotein and atomic number 20. If the loss of albuminoid is due to the paucity of zinc then atomic number 20 elimination can burgeon.
One of the personal property of the cut steroid hormone productivity is an hyperbolic expelling of hydroxyproline, an paraffin acid captious in stabilizing albuminoid construction. Calcium will do goose egg to impede this occurring. It is thence central to protector antagonistic the summation of your scleroprotein tissue at menopause. This is achieved by maintaining an adequate bodily function of nutrients, plus atomic number 30.
Zinc is an big (and ofttimes underestimated) alimental for the defeat of osteoporosis. Zinc is often inadequate in the diet and in modern times of superimposed requirement specified as during physiological condition or menopause or when doing a lot of travail the zinc levels in the unit can run low.

How To: Pick the Right Hose Nozzle
This may seem obvious, but for those people who spend a lot of time in the garden, putting a nozzle on your hose can save a lot of water. It's pretty simple: with a nozzle, the flow of water is easily turned off as you wander back and forth between plants. And, if you're gonna use a nozzle, you might as well get a good one...
Luckily Emily Green, a Home & Garden writer for the LA Times, has tested out ten nozzles in an effort to figure out which ones work best/most efficiently.
It sounds like an easy task, but Green reports that one nozzle actually exploded on her (the Vigoro Heavy-Duty Adjustable Pistol Nozzle). So, to avoid that sort of disaster, read Green's column and see which ones she liked best.
Do you have a garden hose nozzle that you love?

[Magic Mouse Teardown (1)] Struggling With Double-sided Tape
Nikkei Electronics Teardown Squad started to break down the Magic Mouse, a computer mouse that features a touch sensor and was released by Apple Inc at the end of October 2009.
First, we removed the bottom cover and batteries but could not find any screws. We thought that the parts were fitted into one another without using any screws and took off two black resin parts that were attached to the bottom surface and parallel to each other.
The resin parts are the "legs" of the mouse and made of a slippery material. Due to their softness, they were considerably deformed when being removed. At this point, we gave up the idea of reassembling the mouse.
Next, we began to peel off an aluminum-alloy bottom cover from the bottom frame made of resin. The bottom cover was attached by strong double-sided tape. We inserted a flat-blade screwdriver into the gap between the bottom cover and the bottom frame and separated them by sheer force.
Finally, we could see the mechanical structure of the Magic Mouse. It can be separated into (1) the resin bottom frame that serves as a battery case and is equipped with circuit boards and (2) the top frame embedded with a touch sensor, and they are connected with a hinge. We looked into a small gap between the two frames to find the hinge and removed it with the flat-blade screwdriver to separate the two frames.
After pulling out an electrode sheet (flexible substrate) for the touch sensor from the connector connecting circuit boards, the top and bottom frames were separated. The connector is a so-called "back-lock type." And it is unlocked when the plate positioned opposite to the slot is lifted.
Furthermore, the connector is fixed between the circuit board and the flexible substrate by double-sided tape. The plate of the lock mechanism is printed with "DDK," indicating that the connector is manufactured by DDK Ltd.
"When a flexible substrate using a front-lock connector is pulled upward, the connector is likely to be unlocked, detaching the flexible substrate," an engineer said. "Considering the structure of the Magic Mouse, it is possible that such a force is applied when it is being assembled. So, Apple probably employed the back-lock connector to prevent it."
Another engineer said that the terminal area of the flexible substrate is very small and it requires a considerable skill to infallibly connect it. It is more difficult to insert a flexible substrate with a back-lock connector than that with a front-lock connector.
"The Magic Mouse has a design that imposes a burden on workers," an engineer said. "There must be many high-quality workers at Apple's subcontract factories."
The upper part of the Magic Mouse is made by using double-sided tape to attach a black resin frame on a white resin cover that seems to be made of polycarbonate, and the electrode sheet for the touch sensor is positioned between them. We carefully inserted a tool into a gap between the frame and the cover and started to remove the frame.
Correction Notice: We guessed that the connector for the flexible substrate does not have a lock mechanism. However, with help from a reader, we found a lock mechanism and changed the article accordingly.

Reforming democracy : institutional engineering in Western Europe, 1990-2010
Title: Reforming democracy : institutional engineering in Western Europe, 1990-2010
Author: BEDOCK, Camille
Date: 2014
Citation: Florence : European University Institute, 2014
Series/Number: EUI PhD theses; Department of Political and Social Sciences
The modification of the formal rules regulating the functioning of democracy has become an increasingly important field of research in political science, all the more so in a context of decline of political support in consolidated democracies. This thesis focuses on reforms of the core democratic rules in Western European democracies during the two last decades, adopting an expansive focus in order to adopt a multidimensional and longitudinal approach to institutional engineering. It investigates the occurrence of reform, successively examining the description and the characterisation of reforms, their contextual determinants and the mechanisms of change, articulating mixed-methods including large-N statistical analyses and case studies. The main theoretical innovation of the thesis is the concept of bundle of reform, defined as institutional reforms linked to each other and relating to several dimensions of the institutional architecture. In the first part of the thesis, thanks to an original database including 6 categories of reform, it is demonstrated that institutional reforms in the last few decades have been frequent, have happened in bundles, and have been moving towards more inclusive institutions. When studying the long- and short-term determinants of the number of reforms, certain long-term factors foster a favourable structural environment for the occurrence of institutional reforms, in particular a lack of political support from citizens for their institutions, but also the disproportional electoral systems in majoritarian democracies. In the short-term, institutional reforms in a given legislature tend to be more numerous after political alternation, and in contexts of rising electoral uncertainty. The thesis also evidences the fact that neither constitutional rigidity nor the number of partisan veto players can be considered to be the main explanation, or even relevant at all in some cases. The second part of the thesis focuses on understanding why, in favourable contexts, some reforms succeed and others fail, investigating case studies of three bundles of reforms in France, Ireland and Italy. The main finding evidences that the final outcomes of reforms are dependent on the combination of the nature of the reforms at stake (divisive or consensual) and the process used to adopt them (majoritarian, supermajoritarian or externalised). Divisive reforms tend to obey a self-interested logic, and their success depends on the ability to build an agreement in relation to a package deal of reforms. During the processes of consensual reform, credit-claiming logics prevail. When the majority chooses to exclude opposition parties and interest groups from the elaboration of reforms in order to claim sole credit, the fate of such reforms depends on the attitude of the opposition, who may choose to oppose the reform in order to symbolically defeat the government.

Residents have called for safety measures on a busy Doncaster road after a parked car was thrown into the central reservation during a rush hour crash.
Locals say the incident yesterday morning is the latest in a long line of smashes and near misses on Shaftesbury Avenue in Intake.
A car ended up in the central reservation of the road after the collision, just after 7am.
Christine Sowerby, who owns the Toyota Corolla which was destroyed during the incident, said: "My car was parked outside my drive on the street and I was in the kitchen and I heard a noise.
"My husband came and shouted me. I looked out of the window and I couldn't believe it.
"My car was in the middle of the road, all smashed up.
"I was in shock. It's a complete write off.
"I'm a foster carer and I rely on my car – it's my life.
"I've only had it two years, I'm absolutely gutted."
The road was closed in both directions between the Tudor Road junction and the Evelyn Avenue junction after the collision.
One motorist was taken to hospital as a precaution.
Residents say accidents on the stretch are becoming a weekly occurrence.
Shaftesbury Avenue resident John Clarke said: "Crashes happen pretty regularly on this stretch.
"There are always police cars and ambulances on the street because there's been another accident.
"People overtake buses and all sorts. There's a give way sign on the junction of Evelyn Avenue but there needs to be a stop sign.
"There was someone air lifted to hospital the other week after an accident. Something needs to be done. I'm sure it will keep happening until something is done."
Doncaster Council has vowed to pay particular attention to any 'emerging patterns' on the road following yesterday's crash.
Director of regeneration and environment Peter Dale said: "We were very concerned to hear about this incident. The road has a 20mph speed limit with safety features such as road markings and refuge islands, but of course safety does rely on drivers being responsible, and driving appropriately to the conditions and within the law.
"The road safety situation across communities in Doncaster is regularly reviewed, and particular attention will be given to any emerging patterns here.
"In the meantime, we await further information on what happened and will assist the police with any on-going enquiries wherever possible."
A police spokesman said: "Emergency services were called at around 7.05am yesterday to reports of a collision involving a silver Toyota Corolla and a silver Toyota Auris in Shaftesbury Avenue, Intake. One person was taken to hospital as a precautionary measure."

FOR JACK SADLER - GUILTY by P R Ford, November 2013
Do you feel guilty for being alive?
For seeing a day which he did not see?
For feeling the chill of Autumn's breath
As the raucous groans of rooks in the tree
Echo across barren fields, yet not
Bursting through air like a rifle shot?
Do you feel guilty for growing old?
Or welcome the ache of the swollen thumb
Fore-running the pain? – Sweet agony looms,
Not sudden, like flesh torn open and raw,
Nor lethal as chemicals which suddenly blow -
But slow and insidious. - He will not know.
His aging is there on memorial stone
Which weathers and yellows as memory fades.
His smile, cut off, will not lose its shape
As the photo curls or the image gapes.
Don't cut it! Enhance it, love and embrace
His life, his youth, his darling face –
Oh yes! I feel guilty.

I want this blog to be a safe place, to give encouragement, and to share what is on my heart, praying that it can help or provide something for someone else. I heard a song this morning and wanted to pass it along with this word.http://farmgirlblogs.com/the-road-not-taken-poem-analysis-essay/
Something I've struggled with in the past (and still do at times) is spiritual warfare and fear. At times it felt crippling. The enemy was trying to bury me in darkness. BUT GOD. He is so much greater than any of that. Because he sent His son to die on the cross for us, the battle against Satan Has already been won. We don't have to be afraid because His perfect love casts out fear (1 John 4:18). Because he died for our sins, He's given us the gift of salvation and eternal life. (John 3:16) I am so thankful and never want to waste an opportunity to share that with others.
The enemy told me I wasn't worthy. That I was unloved. That I couldn't do it, wouldn't make it. That I was a poor wife, not a good enough mom, a disappointing daughter, a lousy friend and my business was doomed to fail. And if you keep listening to the filth and lies he puts into our minds, you start believing it. And for a long season, I did. He comes to steal, kill, and destroy. (John 10:10) Don't let him in. Put on the armor of God (Ephesians 6:10-18) Speak truth and scripture and life to yourself, in your home, and over your family.
And honestly, it's a lot easier for me to encourage you in this area than to live it some days. But, a sweet friend once told me that when we shed light on something, so much good can from it. We are a puzzle piece in someone's story and if we do our part, God not only does a work in our lives, but in someone else's as well. What if you didn't do your part?
If you are feeling like it's always one thing after another, that some days it seems hard to breathe and the weight of the world is laid heavy on your heart, give it to Jesus friends. He's always there. He's willing. He wants to take it from us. He doesn't want you to fight this battle alone. He wants to silence those fears with his perfect love. He wants to calm your storm.
I try to control my life but I am not in charge. He was and is and will always be the King of the World and over my heart. I'm nowhere near perfect. Just a sinner saved by Grace. I fail. I make mistakes. But I know who I am in Christ. I am loved. I am known. And I am washed in His blood.
I believe that Satan knows the end is near so he is working double time to bring anyone and everyone down with Him. Five seconds on the news is more than I can handle. It hurts my heart and brings tears to my eyes. Lets fight friends. We can be the one someone else needs for encouragement. Sometimes it just takes accountability to get back on track. Life is hard. It's messy, and we are all constantly going through a battle.
I hope this benefits someone. Even if it's just one. I feel silly (and unqualified) to speak this over anyone but felt led to. And if there is one thing I am working towards, it's being obedient.
Prince of Peace by Hillsong:
"Your love surrounds me
When my thoughts wage war
When night screams terror
There Your voice will roar
Come death or shadow
God I know Your light will meet me there
When fear comes knocking
There You'll be my guard
When day breeds trouble
There You'll hold my heart
Come storm or battle
God I know Your peace will meet me there
(Again and again)
Oh, be still my heart
I know that You are God
Oh fear no evil
For I know You are here"

Why use Behavioural Profiling?
The over-riding objective is to make every employee more valuable and productive. To achieve this, the following issues need to be addressed;
- How can an individual be better understood, motivated and managed to improve job performance

- How to conduct effective performance appraisals
- How to determine whether an employee is internally motivated or needs external stimulation
- How to determine whether a candidate will fit a specific job role
Have you ever wished an employee came with an instruction manual? Behavioural reports help answer the above questions and provide much more information on an individual's behavioural style, such as:
- Their natural unconscious style compared to their adjusted work style
- What motivates them and situations that reduce motivation
- Clear natural strengths and their development areas
- Flexibility and comfort zones with activities

He stroked her arm and it brought stray thoughts like sparks. Nerves touched nerves. Where they met, messages passed as they would between nerves of the same organism. Skin on skin completed a circuit from his brain to hers and her brain to his. Touch became a bridge between their minds.
It had never happened with either of them until they met each other. Their first handshake at the political convention had dizzied them both. Kevin felt Sharon's hunger. Sharon felt Kevin's overstimulation and retreat from the crowd. In a heartbeat, they both knew to leave for food.
At the diner, their words only echoed the thoughts they shared by holding hands. The importance of intelligence, the need to help other people, the drive to work hard and the contempt for the centrality of money in people's lives. The love came fast, for no couple had ever had a connection like the one they shared.
They went to her place without saying a word. As they kissed, they shared their beliefs and the arguments behind them. They were so alike, separated only by nuance. The hindbrain and the forebrain both lit with bright flashes of thought.
He took away her shirt, as the need to draw close became overwhelming. Lips touched nipples, and the sensitive nerves reached deeper. Dreams crossed the distance from one to the other. Kevin's dream of a non-profit health insurance company. Sharon's longing for a family she could raise without coercion, only loving guidance.
Their bodies needed to be as close as their minds. There was no stopping it. The gestalt of their minds had them both naked before either individual could make the decision. He moved inside of her, and both knew what the other wanted without any need for awkward tests or breathless words. And as they shared every inch of their bodies and their most sensitive places, their deepest secrets reached out to one another.
Kevin saw Sharon's need to be defined by a man. Sharon saw a montage of Kevin's many unfulfilling conquests overshadowed by his certainty that no woman could truly love him. Her abusive father. His contempt for the overweight. The fact that she'd only started to talk to him because of his biceps. The fact that her lips reminded him of Jen Miller's from college, and that alone had first drawn him toward her.
Each mind recoiled. They had worked hard to keep the barriers of these thoughts from themselves, let alone others. They tried to pull away from each other, but the oldest biological need would not be denied, not in media res. Their bodies kept moving with one another with an instinct older than language or conscious thought, even as it bound together the darkest corners of their minds more and more.
The plagiarized papers that got him his degree and his cushy job. The men that she took home to feel better about herself. The poison he'd slipped into his grandmother's fluids so she wouldn't suffer any more. The dog she'd give small invisible cuts whenever her father hurt her, only to cuddle and whisper her love after. The boy he'd bullied because he was the one kid weaker than him. The girl whose reputation she'd destroyed just to see if she could. His secret fear that if he didn't make enough money, it meant he wasn't a worthwhile person. Her life as an escort to pay for college. His first time with an ugly woman he didn't even like, just to get it done. Her need to work so hard because she feared she was ugly and could never get ahead otherwise.
They couldn't look each other in the eyes when they came to climax. Their bodies rejoiced at the tension unleashed, even as they shivered.
They slept that night on opposite extremes of the bed.

[Breaking Down OLED TV] High Full On/Off Contrast Ratio [Part 10]
The Nikkei Electronics Breakdown Team disassembled Sony's OLED TV, reporting about it on the Tech-On! Website and in the Nikkei Electronics magazine. Next, we went on to measure the TV's display properties.
First, we measured the contrast ratio. A high ratio was expected as the TV utilizes a self-emitting OLED panel. When displaying black, the TV reportedly features a high full On/Off contrast ratio because the light emitting material will not emit light.
We conducted the measurements with the help of a panel engineer and found that the TV was true to its reputation. Under the condition where the illuminance of ambient light is extremely low, the contrast ratio exceeded the limit of the engineer's measurement instrument.
When measured in an ambient illumination of 100Lx, which is an environment similar to that in an ordinary office, the contrast ratio was 369:1.
We measured a variety of display properties in addition to the contrast ratio. The results showed that Sony had made various efforts to fully utilize the OLED panel, which still face many challenges. The details will be published in the Dec 31, 2007 issue of Nikkei Electronics.

Measurements and Records Day This is a fine day to think about all sorts of measurements and records. Don't get hung up thinking measurement is all about how many cups in a quart, or how many kilometers equals 10 miles...As for records, it's not just "longest river" and "tallest man." Here are a few of the measurement- and record-related events that occurred today:
1897 – Measurement of circles (almost) imperiled by lawmakers! The Indiana state house unanimously passed a law decreeing that the value of pi (the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter) is exactly 3.2. Since pi is actually an irrational number (a decimal that doesn't end or repeat) that starts with the digits 3.141592 but then goes on and on, the value mandated by this law wasn't even terribly close. And the fact that this law was passed in the 1800s isn't any kind of excuse; a much better estimate of the value of pi has been known since ancient times. The bill never became law, luckily, because a Purdue University professor happened to be in town and coached some Indiana senators about the math involved. The bill was postponed indefinitely in the senate. The entire idea of legislating scientific or mathematical truth is what is really out of whack here!
1901 – Patent for an ellipse-shaped looping roller coaster (called "centrifugal railway") awarded to Edwin Prescott. Called "Loop the Loop," this roller coaster was not the first with a vertical loop, but it was the first with the ellipse shape, and therefore it was more comfortable and safer to ride. (The first two coasters with vertical loops—of the circular variety—were shut down due to accidents and injuries.) We can count this as a great success in roller coaster history! Unfortunately, more people wanted to watch it than to ride it, so much so that a viewing area was built and people were charged admission just to watch. Even with the viewing fees, Loop the Loop didn't make enough money to keep running, and it went bankrupt around the time of World War I. This has to be a record for the most unsuccessful successful roller coaster!
1915 – Richard Hofstadter born in New York City. Hofstadter went on to become a physicist; he won a Nobel prize for his work, which included "measuring" the sizes of the neutron and proton in the nuclei of atoms. Of course, these particles are really, really small: imagine taking one and a half yardsticks or meter sticks. Then cut the sticks into 1,000,000,000,000,000 pieces. That's one quadrillion (also known as one thousand million million) pieces. That's...well, pretty darned small!
1934 – Hank Aaron born in Mobile, Alabama. Aaron grew up to be one of the greatest baseball players of all time. He played from 1954 to 1976, and he held the Major League Baseball (MLB) record for most career home runs, with 755 homers, for 33 years. Even now that his record has been broken by Barry Bonds, I can't help wondering if Bonds' alleged steroid use may invalidate the new record. Aaron holds other records because of his high-level consistency over the years: he had 24 or more home runs every single year from 1955 through 1973; he's the only player to hit 30 or more homers in a season at least 15 times; he made the All-Star team every year from 1955 to 1975; he has the most career runs batted in (2,297); he has the most career extra base hits (1,477); he has the most career total bases (6,856); he's in the top 4 of seasons with 150 or more hits; he's third in career hits (3,771); he's tied for fourth (with Babe Ruth) in with career runs (2,174); he's second in at-bats (12,364); he's third in games played (3,298). There are an awful lot of numbers in baseball—and these don't even involve averaging!
Measuring Everything in the Universe
New Grounds has an interesting "interactive diagram" about the size of things. When you first enter, you can see the size of things at a human scale, such as an adult human (1.7) meters, giant earthworm (an amazing 7 meters!), and a large beach ball (1 meter). Slide the little slider button to the right, and you can see huger and huger objects, including planets, starts, and galaxies. Slide the button to the left, and you can see tinier and tinier objects—going down to atoms, protons, and even to the as-yet undetected "strings" that may make up quarks.
It's Rational to Like Irrational Numbers
There are some pretty fun books about numbers. Have you read Math Curse, by Jon Scieszka? How Much is a Million? by David M. Schwartz and Steven Kellogg?
For older readers, how about A Gebra Named Al, by Wendy Isdell? I haven't read it, but Sir Cumference and the Dragon of Pi, by Cindy Neuschwander, sounds really fun! (This author has a whole slew of math storybooks!)
Take a Virtual Roller Coaster Ride!
This one has several loops and realistic coaster sounds. This one has no loops and is set to music. It's pretty extreme and made me feel like I was really moving for a second or two.

(from a review by Travis Pelkie, 24 March 2017)
...I love this comic because it showcases how funny Cerebus is just by being an amoral jerk aardvark. His obstinate nature creates chaos and reacts to the absurd situations he's put into in Hell, and the resulting reactions by Virgil and Dante to his asshole nature are funny. Not all of the jokes land for me. Some are over my head. But the ones that work get me rolling, so overall, it's an excellent humor comic. You also get, in the comic books, amusing "rules" on how to contribute your own Cerebus in Hell? strip, as well as funny bios of the creators. If you like to laugh, I think Cerebus in Hell? is a really good, funny comic, and if you don't like it, Cerebus the Aardvark will probably stab you or something... [Read the full review here...]

World Youth Day (WYD) Brazil 2013
It all started with a meeting hosted by Pope John Paul II in 1984. It was an encounter of love, dreamed of by God and embraced by the youth. Voices that needed to be heard and a heart ready to receive them.
The World Youth Day (WYD) as it was named in 1985 continues to show the world the witness of a living and renewing faith, transforming the face of Christ in every young person.
They are the young, the protagonists of this great gathering of faith, hope and unity. WYD's main objective is to make known to all youth in the world the message of Christ, but it is also true that, through them, the 'face' Young Christ is also shown to the world.
The World Youth Day, held annually in the dioceses of the world, provides every 2 or 3 years an international meeting of young people with the Pope, which lasts about a week. The latest edition of the International Youth Day was held in August 2011, in Madrid, Spain, and brought together more than 190 countries.
The XXVIII World Youth Day will be held from 23 to 28 July 2013 in the city of Rio de Janeiro and has as its motto "Go and make disciples of all nations" (Mt 28, 19).
The WYDs has its origin in large meetings with the youth celebrated by Pope John Paul II in Rome. The international youth meeting on the occasion of the Holy Year of Redemption came in 1984, in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican. It was there that the Pope gave to the WYD Cross which became one of the main symbols of WYD, known as the Cross Day.
The following year, 1985 was declared International Youth Year by the United Nations. In March there was another international meeting of the youths in the Vatican and the same year the Pope announced the institution of World Youth Day.
The first was diocesan WYD in Rome in 1986. This was followed by meetings worldwide: in Buenos Aires (Argentina - 1987), with the participation of 1 million youths; in Santiago de Compostela - Spain in 1989 with 600 000 thousand; Czestochowa - Poland in 1991 with 1.5 million youths; in Denver - USA in 1993 with 500 000 thousand; Manila - Philippines in 1995 with 4 million; in Paris - France in 1997 with 1 million; in Rome - Italy in 2000 with 2 million; in Toronto - Canada in 2002 with 800 000 thousand; in Cologne - Germany in 2005 with 1 million; in Sydney - Australia in 2008 with 500 000 thousand and in Madrid - Spain in 2011 with 2 million.
In addition to being in another country, with its tourist charms, participation in the day requires a prepared body for the pilgrimage and an open heart to the wonders that God has in store for each one. They are catechesis, testimonies, sharing, examples of love of your neighbour and the Church, music festivals and cultural activities. Finally, it is a meeting of hearts that are driven by the same belief and hope that the diversity in fraternity is possible.

Why Many Business Leaders Often Find It Difficult To Ask For Help
One of the most important concepts I've learned in business is also one of the simplest: Just ask for help. Many business leaders today pride themselves on doing things on their own. They discuss how they've risen to the top without any help, how they've succeeded without leaning on anyone. But we were not meant to work alone. We were meant to help each other along the way.
I learned this early on in my career, when I was just getting started in music. In 1999, I met a guy named Joe Cerini. Joe was a low level employee at Epic Records and worked under Martin Peart, who at the time was the Senior Vice President of A&R for Epic. I asked Joe if he knew of any A&R people from other record labels or any great record producers I might be able to meet. Joe introduced me to a guy from Atlantic Records, Damon Eden, who introduced me to a producer named Santiago. I then asked Damon if he could introduce me to any other A&R people and asked Santiago if he could introduce me to any other record producer friends. Damon introduced me to 8 different A&R people from all different labels in New York. Santiago introduced me to a producer, Roy Hamilton, of Capitol Records. Roy went on to produce 24 different gold or platinum selling records, including Michael Jackson, N Synch and Britney Spears. He also had several #1 Billboard hits. Santiago also introduced me to five different A&R people at various record labels in New York. The point of my story? By me reaching out and asking three different people for help or connections, I wound up working with my first big producer and 15 different record label executives. My initiative played a huge part in helping me launch my career and led me to where I am today.
In the famous words of John Donne:
"No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent, a part of the main."
Asking for help seems simple enough, yet many business leaders don't do it. Why? For starters, many don't want to bother people. They feel that asking for help means "bugging" someone, and they don't want to be a nuisance. Others fear it makes them seem weak, inefficient or unknowledgeable. If they ask for help, will others assume they don't have it all together?Some worry that asking for help may come with a price. What if the person they ask a favor of asks a favor of them in return and they cannot live up to their expectations? Still others worry that the person they reach out to may say no, causing embarrassment on their part. This can create such anxiety that many never take the next step and reach out.
The biggest reason people don't ask for help, however, may be that it simply doesn't occur to them. In today's society, people value independence more than ever. In past societies, families worked together on farms and in communities. They divided and conquered, each taking responsibility and helping out where needed. When a job became too tough, they simply asked others to bear the burden with them. Somewhere along the way, however, we've lost this sense of community. Magazines, TV shows and other media sources have taught usit's "every man out for himself." Instead of reaching out when we have a flat tire or need to borrow a cup of sugar from a neighbor, we simply figure out a way to do things ourselves. We believe this independence makes us stronger somehow.
But it doesn't. Asking for help is not a sign for weakness. In contrast, it may just be the best thing we ever do.
Here are some benefits to asking for help:
1. It helps us connect. Reaching out and asking for help may seem scary at first, but in doing so, we may develop unexpected relationships and connections we would have not found otherwise. By walking over to that co-worker's desk to ask a simple favor, you may walk away with a lifelong friendship too.
2. It opens new doors, expands your network and helps you succeed. Reaching out for help means opening unlimited possibilities. In my case, if I had never reached out for help, I would not have found the success I did. What began as a simple question developed into a string of events that changed the course of my career. I can't imagine what might have happened if I never took that first step and let fear stand in my way.
3. It gives others an opportunity to share their gifts. This may be one of the most important aspects ofasking for help. Many people have unnoticed gifts, talents and contributions just waiting to be made. They are happy to help, yet no one's ever asked them before. Asking for help allows others to shine. Many people are happy to help, yet they've never been asked for help before. Reaching out may be a win/win in many cases.
Like many things in life, doing something the first time may feel scary. The more you practice it, however, the easier it gets. If you want to reach out for help but aren't sure how, try the simple but direct approach.
Here are a few tips:
1. Be friendly but sincere.
2. Get straight to the point. Tell the person what you want. This could be done in an e-mail, in person or over the phone. If you don't know them well, introduce yourself, let them know how you've met or who you know. Then ask your favor without mincing words.
3. Be confident. Simply smile, hold your head high and ask for what you want. Refrain from saying, "I hate to ask this of you…" Remember, you are not a burden. You are here to give someone an opportunity to help.
4. Assume the person will say yes, not no. Studies show that most people, when asked for a favor, will say yes. I've learned this to be true in my business. Very rarely have I received a "no" when I reach out. If you fear a "no," this may keep you from reaching out, and you might miss out on unlimited opportunity. So just assume a "yes," and if by chance you get a "no," don't give up. Most likely, there's someone else out there who will be happy to give you a "yes."
So just who should you reach out to for help? This depends on what you need help with. Many times, the person you need is right in front of you. This could be a trusted friend, a colleague, a spouse or a business mentor. It could be someone you've never thought of before. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone when asking for help. Remember that even the most powerful-looking business man is still just a human being beneath his suit and tie. Chances are, even he had to reach out for help at some point. Never let anyone intimidate you. But don't be afraid to reach out to the "little guy" too. In my case, I reached out to a low-level employee when I began my career, and the relationship we developed from there on out proved invaluable. The helpers are everywhere — we just have to seek them out.
Above all, remember this: Asking for help is not a sign of weakness. It is a sign of strength. When you reach out to others, you open unimaginable doors, leading to ultimate success. So get out there and try it today. That nextbusiness deal may be a simple question away.

Holding HMD Global announced the start of sales of the new smartphone Nokia 3.1 to our country. Previously it was possible to pre-order, and before he made his announcement, held in Moscow.
The price of Nokia 3.1 since his show has not changed and is exactly 12 000, of which at least a third will have to pay for the brand. The list of characteristics of the new Finnish-Chinese smartphone includes 2 GB RAM, standard storage of 16 GB, support memory card 128 GB, and MediaTek processor MT6750, not the most modern, although the 8-core. New Nokia 3.1 runs on pure Android OS 8.1 Oreo without third-party software and skins, and he already this year could be updated to Android 9 – everything will depend first and foremost on Google.
The smartphone has a screen of 5.2 inches with a resolution of 1440х720 points, and quite tangible framework, battery 3000 mAh and two cameras – 8 MP for selfies and a main 13 MP, without additional module. On the Russian market Nokia 3.1 is positioned as the cheapest frameless smartphone, but it is an outright lie: first, the frame of the smartphone is, and they are considerable, and secondly, there are more affordable devices with similar filling, even though they will have to write from China.

In numerous states, counties and cities, union and community organizers are considering ballot initiatives for November. Whether they are facing a fight against corporate-backed initiatives that will bleed workers while gorging big business, or considering their own initiatives that will benefit the 99%, activists and labor leaders are weighing how to use the election season to defend and help the grass roots.
How ballot campaigns are conducted reflects the attitude of their backers regarding what needs to be done to transform the political climate in favor of workers' needs. If the backers believe it is possible to turn around the corporate agenda by working within the political system without building the grass-roots power to challenge it, their approach will reflect this by prioritizing their connections with politicians.
On the other hand, if the backers have concluded that it will take a massive social movement to win pro-worker reforms by the ballot, as well as independently organized grass-roots strength to change the political climate, then their approach to ballot initiative campaigns will emphasize building popular support.
An instructive comparison between these approaches is the campaign for a $15 minimum wage in Seattle and the batch of potential initiatives under the title "Act Now for a Healthy Oregon" (ANHO) put forward by Service Employees International Union.
What Happened to Healthy Oregon?
ANHO included measures that would compel hospitals to publicly state their quality ratings as well as have the cost for medical procedures out in the open so that patients could compare prices. Also included was a measure to limit the pay of Healthcare CEOs to no more than 15 times the wage of their lowest pay employees.
While there is no current social movement around such measures, it could be argued that because these bills addressed some of the most egregious ways the healthcare system hurts the 99%, they could serve as a spark.
This year in Oregon, it is all the more important that unions stick up for all workers because of the threat of a corporate-backed initiative — the grossly misnamed "Public Employee Choice Act." This bill would severely weaken public workers' collective bargaining rights. If Labor is to fight such anti-worker attacks, the unions need to put forward a fight that the broad majority can get behind. As a result workers will learn that any attack on collective bargaining rights is also an attack on the 99%.
However, building this broad fight back is no longer a possibility in 2014 as far as ANHO goes. In a letter sent to SEIU members on February 25, it was announced that this Act was being pulled.
"Last week, our union reached an historic agreement about the future of healthcare in Oregon. With the leadership of Oregon Governor Kitzhaber and the impetus of our Act Now for a Healthy Oregon ballot measures, the CEOs of the largest health systems in Oregon agreed to a series of meetings about how front line caregivers can be part of the solutions we need to see in healthcare."
In addition, in a follow up letter it was announced:
"Today, I'm happy to report that we can claim a victory for working families across Oregon. Governor Kitzhaber alongside SEIU and a coalition of other union leaders were able to fight back anti-worker ballot initiatives that posed serious threats to our union and workers' wages, benefits, and safe working conditions.
"After a series of discussions with the Governor and our coalition, backers behind anti-worker measure have agreed to pull their ballot initiatives. In exchange for pulling their initiatives, we are holding back on a slate of revenue-generating proposals that had initially qualified for the signature gathering."
No doubt, the dropping of the "Public Employee Choice Act" is a huge relief for the unions. Just by this alone it could be argued that the political horse-trading between its backers and SEIU was justified.
However, it will likely be back next election year. SEIU bought some time with this maneuver, but the question of how to build the strength to proactively and decisively ward off such attacks remains.
It is unclear what gains, if any, will be won by the series of meetings between healthcare CEOs and healthcare union representatives that was arranged by Governor Kitzhaber in exchange for dropping ANHO. Such attempts at partnership with corporate interests, however, are generally as effective as truces between predator and prey — they don't last long and produce results that inspire no one because of their concessions to corporate wolfs.
It appears that the priorities of those behind ANHO were to have a ballot proposal to get a seat at the table with the corporate heads and their politicians, as well as head off the "Public Employee Choice Act." They have been successful at this — for now.
Playing a subordinate role in this arrangement was the need to educate, mobilize, and democratically organize not only SEIU's membership, but the broader community as well. It is likely that those behind ANHO did not believe it is possible, at this time, to do this. Without it, though, the strength of the unions to make gains for workers on a political scale will continue to diminish.
Seattle's Campaign for $15
In Seattle, Washington we are witnessing a very different dynamic in the campaign to win a $15 minimum wage for the city. Mayor Ed Murry, once it became clear the wide support this measure has, announced he was in favor of it as well and has set up a committee to put together an executive order for it.
Rather than giving Mayor Murray a blank check, newly elected City Council representative Kshama Sawant, who ran as a member of Socialist Alternative and built her campaign to a large degree by advocating for a $15 minimum wage, has warned of possible concessions coming from the Mayor's committee.
If the Mayor's proposal does not fulfill the hope that Seattle's workers have invested in the demand for a $15 minimum wage, those in "$15 Now", who support Sawant and have significant union endorsements, have pledged to put the issue to Seattle voters. Neighborhood committees have already been organized to gather signatures to put it on the ballot if necessary.
In addition, they are continuing to keep the heat on by mobilizing in the streets and organizing in the community. If it had not been for this activity, Mayor Murray never would have been compelled to support $15 per hour in the first place. In order to get the raise that Seattle workers' deserve, either by executive order or by vote, its backers know that it is necessary to continue to educate, agitate, organize and mobilize the 99%.
To strengthen the fight for $15 and help assure it has the best possible chance of success, members of "$15 Now" and, most importantly, the unions and allied community groups need to create a united, mutually agreed upon campaign to build support for jump-starting the $15 an hour minimum wage campaign. Without this type of broad-based coalition the movement for $15 an hour could all too easily fall into a rut with different groups weakening their potential united strength by each following their own separate agenda. If Mayor Murray's executive order dissatisfies more than it provides, it will be all the more urgently necessary that this process of building the broadest most active support be pursued.
Whereas there was no public campaign for ANHO, reaching out to the broad majority of working people to build unity in action among the various politically active organizations that support $15 can be the motor force for the collective fight for $15. The backers of ANHO used it as leverage to pressure the 1% and their representatives. In Seattle the success of the campaign for $15 depends on uniting all the various groups who support $15 and, in a unified manner, reaching out to the 99% for support.
In order to evaluate the usefulness of these two different approaches, we need to ask which way is better for preparing the grass roots to reverse corporate greed and begin winning some real victories for workers? Which is most likely to win in a way that can engage and inspire our communities? Which approach raises awareness among more people of their common interests? Which builds the broadest and strongest unity among the 99%? And what approach can build greater confidence among workers to speak out for other rights as well as the issue at hand?
In asking these questions, the answer is obvious.
