High Efficiency Magnetohydrodynamic Power Generation Using Ultra- High Magnetic Fields And Novel Cooling -
MHD system for generation of thermodynamic power cycles with thermal-to-electrical conversion efficiencies in excess of 60%. The combination of >2000°C plasma and super-cooled magnets provide the mechanism to produce electricity with greater than 60% efficiency.
Detailed schematic of the magnetohydrodynamic electrical energy generator including the relevant vectors for the Lorentz force is shown. The power generation is generally proportional to Lch B2m indicating the strong importance of increasing the B field.
The present invention provides for a high efficiency MHD energy conversion device which utilizes flux trapped in superconductors as permanent magnets having magnetic flux densities of up to 17 tesla, and multistage cooling systems which employ coolants, including liquids with cryogenic properties such as liquid helium and liquid nitrogen, (liquid nitrogen is inexpensive - cheaper than milk, easy to use and store, and readily available). An electrically conductive fluid, in the form of an ionized gas or plasma, flows through an electrically conductive fluid conduit in a magnetic field produced by the pole pieces of two permanent magnets aligned for maximum field density for inducing an electric current in the fluid by separating the positive charges from the negative charges. As used herein, the reference to "permanent magnets" includes superconductors having trapped flux as opposed to electromagnets in which a current is passed through a coil surrounding a ferromagnetic core.
Each permanent magnet is disposed in a chamber containing a cryogenic liquid, e.g., helium, which has been circulated from the chamber through a heat exchanger, releasing the heat absorbed within the chamber before being pumped back into the chamber.
The chamber containing each permanent magnet is sandwiched between two dewar vacuum containers in contact with the cooling chambers of two respective liquid nitrogen cooling systems. Other cryogenic liquids having similar cooling properties may be substituted for nitrogen. Each cooling chamber of one of a pair of inner liquid nitrogen cooling systems is separated from the cooling chamber of a respective microchannel water cooling
(Schematic of Microchannel Pin Fin Heat Exchanger)
chamber by another dewar vacuum container. Each microchannel water cooling chamber absorbs heat from a contacting radiation shield proximate the conductive fluid conduit. The foregoing arrangement enables the permanent magnets to operate at cryogenic temperatures in the presence of an electrically conductive working fluid having temperatures as high as 3,000 degrees centigrade for reaching magnetic flux densities of up to 17 tesla substantially increasing the efficiency of the MHD energy conversion device. Cryogenic temperatures below 4.2 degrees Kelvin are possible.

Boz Scaggs, Winemaker
Add another musician to the winemaker list. Mellow music maker Boz Scaggs is currently touring around with other 1970s stars Michael McDonald and Donald Fagen on the Dukes of September tour but as the Napa Valley Register reports, he's put down roots in wine country. His wine brand Scaggs Vineyard is a labor of love for Boz and his wife Dominique. They moved to the area in 1996 and decided to plant Rhone varietals on their hillside land. They made their first wine in 2000 and grow the Mourvedre, Grenache and Syrah grapes used in their Rosé and Montage wines. The vineyards, fruit and olive orchards at Scaggs Vineyard have been certified organic since 2005.
The Register article says that the Scaggs sort of happened into the wine business accidentally. At first they drank their own wines and shared them with friends but once they teamed up with winemaker Ken Barnards things started to take off. Scaggs plans to keep the business fairly small and separate from the music world. The Scaggs Rosé has a retail price of $25 and the 2007 Scaggs Vineyard Mt. Veeder Montage sells for $75. Both can be purchased on the Scaggs Vineyard website.

Sophorian civilization has been long looking for other sentient races in space in order to integrate them into their own society. However, that has not come without dissensions among the Sophorians, and sometimes very violent conflicts. In the recent past two huge attacks had occurred that threatened the whole civilization. The first one struck the government. The second one struck the Sophorian army. But was there a connection between those attacks, and will history repeat itself over and over until there's no civilization left?
It has now been a year since a devastating EMP wave left one of the largest cities broken and disconnected. A lot of labour and resources went into restoring the city over the course of the year, but it appears things are not about to settle down yet.
Adrial and his team of allies have been caught in another attack – but who is attacking this time and what are their motives? It is now up to you to assemble your allies, uncover this scheme, expose the enemy, and stop them before their actions magnify into catastrophic proportions.

Holt Allaway is a skilled engineer, specializing in the construction and programming of robots. When the government approached him to sign up for a military program to create battle machines, Holt declined, not wishing to create weapons of war. He expected this wouldn't go down well, and he was right. Shortly after, the officials fabricated a story that he was conspiring with underground movements against the government and convicted him of a crime he did not commit.
Upon being arrested, Holt is taken to a temporary holding facility where all arrested criminals are brought for an interrogation, as well as a verdict that decides their fate. Some are executed, and their organs are harvested and sold. The others are taken to high-security prisons and used as labourers or test subjects.
Shortly after an interrogation, the holding facility is attacked by corrupted machines, and chaos ensues. A scout bot that's remotely controlled by a mysterious individual calling himself Cai sets Holt free and instructs him to escape. Holt joins forces with a smart scientist Chloe and an assassin Lorelei, both of whom were also imprisoned. Following Cai's lead, they flee the facility.
However, their ordeal has only started. With no allies, few resources, and government police on their heels, they must find any means to survive and escape this condemned city – a City of Chains.

...and I want one (obviously). With the lens housed in one eye, and the sensor in another, this Necono digital camera doesn't have an LCD screen for viewing your shot, but that's all part of the Japanese charm. Consider it a digital version of a film camera, if you will.
Don't expect stunning results from the 3MP lens, but as the camera is shaped like cat I doubt you were anyway. It can shoot video as well as photos, and as it weighs just 40g it's just purrrfect for small children. If you're willing to spend $US191 on a toy camera for them, that is.

The Price for Harmony
The psalmist sang a song that challenged the worshipers: How wonderful it is, how pleasant, for God's people to live together in harmony! How many of us can say: I have a wonderful, pleasant and harmonious family, siblings, father-mother in law, daughter-son in law? We have heard the story of Jacob's family, especially Joseph's life as part of the devotional readings. The book of Genesis has fifty chapters and thirteen chapters are dedicated to the life and testimony of Joseph. In these thirteen chapters the biblical narrator gave me three models to understand the cost of living and rejoicing in a family with harmony. Also, what it means to live in disharmony and its product in the short and long range. At the same time the Scripture presented the prescription with the correct dose to eradicate the disharmony in a family.
First model: Jacob as a father lived captive by the lie of his children for 22 years (Genesis 37: 34-35; 42:38) The emotional, physical and mental experience lived by Jacob today is called: Grief & Loss Syndrome.
Second model: Joseph's brothers lived accused by their consciences for 22 years after they sold their brother to Egypt. Judah seeking to alleviate his conscience separated from the family only to worsen his condition. If we take a closer look at Genesis 42: 21-22, today they would be diagnosed with Guilt Syndrome.
Remember last week: "There are life's storms that we have to face as a result of the neglect of others. Storms like the one lived by Joseph. Jealousy and envy, the absence of responsible dialogue, the preference for a child over others, turned a family situation into twenty plus years of life's storms for Joseph." Remember? Third model: Joseph, Jacob's son with a vision, attitudes and determination to overcome the disharmony and dysfunctionality of his family. Joseph's purpose was to realize himself at any cost. Joseph's dreams were his life mission. Twenty-two years it took Joseph to reach out to accomplish his goals. What was that mission? To become a man of influence and power. Joseph's life is assimilated with the slogans we have today: Be everything you can be. Dream is a vision until you do something. Dream big with defined goals. Your best life is now, live the moment.
Joseph was forced to leave his family. To leave our disharmonious families and realize ourselves individually is not a crime. Divorcing ourselves from the dysfunctionality of our family to attain our dream is not a sin. The truth is that there are thousands of people who divorced from their dysfunctional families and realized their dream, Joseph lived it: Genesis 41: 38-44. It is also true that those thousands of people who have succeeded in overcoming family disharmony have replaced family memories with objects and other persons, Joseph did it: Genesis 41: 51-52. We know of thousands of people who drown and consume themselves in their labors until they become influential and powerful people, Joseph did it Genesis 41:49.
Joseph did triumph. But if he succeeded, why did the reunion with his brothers disarm the whole structure that he had designed so carefully and accurately for 22 years? Because we all have been created to live in family. We all need to feel and live the experience of giving and receiving harmony in the context of our natural family. To realize ourselves as individuals divorced from our family or fail as individuals disconnected from our family only contributes to the disharmony and ensures continuity of pain and tragedy.
What price are you willing to pay for a functional and harmonious family? Triumphs or failures have not given anyone full joy and peace. If the triumphs gave full joy and peace: Why does the suicide statistic of well-educated and high level people keep racing? If realizing and converting dreams into reality would produce harmony in the human being: Why the pandemic of misuse of narcotic drugs? Why do artists and celebrities still appear dead leaving notes of emptiness and unhappiness? Why do the violence and the rage consume our news every day?
If being divorced from the dysfunctional and disharmonious natural family was the right thing to do; why are we raising a generation lacking in family and civic values? Japan already developed an entire detoxification program for children addicted to gadgets. We are growing a whole generation divorced from their natural family. What has been our fruit? Our fruit is a whole generation of adolescents hurt by our pain, disharmonized by our disharmony, unable to connect with the traditional and generational values of a family. Why? Because we do not know how to pay the price for family harmony.
Harmony in the family is a product of forgiveness and restoration. Each family has a collection of memories that distinguishes it and makes it unique. We have positive and negative family memories, pleasant and unpleasant. We all have memories that we wish would never have happened and we all have memories that we want to repeat and make them permanent. We all have repressed family experiences. Today they are called the Conspiracy of Silence. As a head of my family I have a goal; it is to create and live in an atmosphere where conflicts and differences are not hidden. It has been possible because we understand that each conflict is an opportunity to improve our understanding of each other. It has been possible because we are working hard in searching for harmony. What price are you willing to pay for Family Harmony?
The truth is that creating an atmosphere of harmony in today's family will cost. A family in harmony is one that has learned to live with the disappointment and frustration of its members. Why? Because they have learned that understanding, love and forgiveness are more valuable and powerful than perfection and withholding resentments. Living in harmony costs many disagreements and reconciliations, discussions and receptive attitude. It costs a lot, but the investment is worth it.
What price are you willing to pay for harmony? Maybe the reencounter with your parents, brother or sister. How much will it cost you to forgive the person that harmed you? Take it out of your heart, out of your life, out of your past. It will be the only way to be free in your present. Joseph lived it, Joseph did it. Three steps: Reencounter yourself in the traumatic moment and situation, emotions and feelings. Name the crimes and abuse committed against you. Let the offender know your wiliness to forgive above your lost or pain. Move forward with your life with an act of restoration and reconciliation (Genesis 45:2-5). Romans 8:28 We know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose. If we invite God to lead us, teach us, form us in the project of building a wonderful, pleasant and harmonious family GOD will. God's presence, harmony and generational blessing will be manifested.

Floor and table lamps for Rica Talk Hotel
Client: Stockholmsmässan
Producer: Örsjö Belysning
Photo: Örsjö and Camilla Svensk
Since it wasn't possible to integrate general lighting into the guest room ceilings the loose fixtures function both as direct and indirect light sources. Thus the floor lamp has two reflectors, one that's upturned for ambient lightning and another that becomes an adjustable reading lamp. The reflectors on the floor lamp and desk lamp are perforated to give off ambient light. Both light sources can be dimmed independently. The color of the plexiglas shades corresponds to the color scheme of the room which gives two variants, brown for the guest rooms and dark blue for the suites. The lamp's base and tube are white to match the wall panels.

Davidoff. A heavy-hitter name among luxury brands, for sure. And here it is printed on a pipe tobacco tin —my goodness — I must have some. But you don't have to button up your best collared shirt and slink into one of Davidoff's flagship stores, no, this stuff can be purchased online, and from various retailers, well-detached from whatever social judgments haunt the patrons of a Davidoff brick-and-mortar (I wouldn't know!). Though I'd imagine one can also find Danish Mixture tucked somewhere among the fine cigars and pipes at a Davidoff shop, if you're inclined to do so.
And what of the watches and cologne (and leather and pens and "accessories")? Is it the same guy? Indeed. Davidoff is well-known for their array of luxo-goods, perhaps with more notoriety than for their tobaccos. For these items, you might be better off simply referencing your local department store, as the company appears to segregate their tobacco and non-tobacco detachments, both in-store and online.
I'm getting off track here. Yes, Davidoff Danish mixture. An aromatic with a pedigree. Does it live up to its name? Or is it a mislabeled poseur? Let's have a smoke and see if this blend can distinguish itself.
Davidoff Danish Mixture is a Burley/Cavendish/Virginia aromatic made in Denmark and described as:
"Zino Davidoff's Special Blend of the finest tobaccos"
For the curious, Zino Davidoff was the founder of the existing company, a Ukrainian-Swiss fellow who turned his parent's small, turn-of-the-century tobacco business into a global empire by mid-century.
Danish Mixture is today blended by Orlik and purportedly flavored with figs, honey, maple and walnut. [1] I purchased a 50g tin of Davidoff Danish Mixture from SmokingPipes.com for $9.91 USD. This tobacco can be found widely online.
The jar note delivers candied figs up front, syrupy and sweet and very round. There is a pleasant nuttiness, though I would classify it as hazel, as opposed to walnut. Light raisin undertones and a satisfying maple aroma are available to deep inhalers. Everything is well-grounded, the note is dry and slightly woody, like hay.
Moisture here is spot on after a few weeks in a half-empty jar. At least for my taste. I'm remembering a tobacco that was 90% ready by my estimations when it was fresh from the tin. I'll say minimal drying time needed, unless you prefer a very crispy experience.
The ribbon cut feels airy and loose. No unpleasant stickiness. It all makes for an uncomplicated pinch-and-pack maneuver.
That aroma, though. So mild and sweet, but earthy. Such balance between aromatic and natural tobacco aromas makes one all the more eager to light up.
The first light brings honeyed raisins and fig preserves to the tip of the tongue and the back of the mind. Retrohales are very mild and nutty, with a well developed hay and grass earthtone. Danish Mixture's sweet smoke has a light body, though some may allege "stickiness" as the dark-fruit flavors can cling.
It's not cloying by any measure, though there are traces of decadence.
So far the smoke is quite dry and cool, but with a well defined tobacco spice keeping things interesting. The maple flavoring is an understated, back of the throat indulgence.
Our room note here is certainly redolent of burnt tobaccos, but with considerable sweetness. It's tangy too, which strengthens the grassy flavors and tenders citrus on the sides of the tongue.
There's no bite, contrary to what several reviews opine, though this character probably owes as much to the storage conditions I've created as it does to Mr. Davidoff's artisanship. I'm remembering my first experience with this blend, weeks back. Out of the fresh tin it was a nibbler for sure. Now though, damn-easy smoking. Relights have been rare, and self-inflicted through negligence.
The second half retains the pleasant retrohale, though it has become slightly spicier and more toasty, almost buttery. The Burley near bowl's end showcases deeper nuttiness, enhanced by its filtration of the now white, ashen top sections. A tart minerality crystallizes at the back of the throat, like drinking fortified water or seltzer. Long smokes are well-rewarded here.
A seductive and stimulating complement to your favorite caffeine-laden soda at any stage of the bowl, there's good reason to keep coming back to this one. The blend offers complex zest to satiate note-scribbling flavor-chasers, while its mild manners and luscious sweetness will charm the most tranquil every-day smoker.
One luxurious experience from one luxurious namesake, Davidoff's Danish Mixture is an aromatic worthy of comparison to any brand out there. For those who revel in the middle-ground between aromatic and tobacco flavor, this might even be your gold standard.

5,7,5 – 365
30th November 2015
A haiku, sometimes two, and a diary entry, every day for a year.
It's Monday morning and there is little to cheer me up on the drive to the station. It's dark this morning, the skies are heavy grey and it's raining. As it begins to get a little lighter, the naked, art print trees stand out black against the sky, doing nothing to lift my mood. Once sat on the train I play around with the words for a haiku with no help from iOS 9, which offers up the wrong words as I type or mistakes an opening line for an attempted diary entry.
Against wet grey skies
Stark black and white photo trees
Darkening my mood
Grey Monday morning
iPad offers of diary
Helpful but soulless

Updates and links
I keep having a hard time coming up with original content to write every week. Partly, it's due to the fact that the semester has started, we're teaching a course and there's a lot of organization and planning to do. In addition, because we're still a user-driven facility, we get requests to do set up experiments and equipment all the time. I've become the go-to person in the lab in terms of knowing where everything is, asking for quotes, helping to process data that only my immediate supervisor and I know how to process. While it is all good, it's a lot of work. I'm barely thinking about academia these days. But I've kept writing here and there and now I'm sharing those links, in case you're interested. As you may have noticed I'm also not tweeting as often, this is part of the whole "not having a clue" about what to write. I feel like I'm out of ideas, and/or fresh content. I find it sad. I wish I could talk in more detail about what is it that I do and what my job entails … but I'm just not ready to say who I am to the whole world. Anyway, here are some links of some of the other places I contribute to. Enjoy!
My reasons to move elsewhere in academia – over at Bio Careers
Little things I wish I'd known in grad school parts 1, 2 and 3 – over at 1DegreeBio
Enough is enough with the stupid "restocking" fee – a Guest Post
Normally, all the entries that appear on the blog are written by me. I usually have a few ideas in my brain every week and throughout it I pick the one(s) that I feel are more pressing and write about that. But today, I'm featuring the awesome Mr. 27 and a PhD (also known as honey). A few weeks ago, Mr. Honey's laptop died. Since then he's been looking for a new one. He set his sights on one, bought is, but it came defective and had to return it. Hon's mom noticed his computer was at a local outlet and then he went and purchased it there. Again, the computer started showing up some problems, after which he returned it. The first computer he bought, he sent back and was not slammed with this stupid thing known as restocking fee (yet another way of companies passing the costs out to consumers when products are defective out of the box). Hon mentions the companies by name, and you can read more about the details in the post. Suffice it to say that, like my experience with United, hon is none too pleased with the "service" from the brick-and-mortar store. Here's the story:
Our anniversary
This month, honey and I celebrate our 7th year together. And in case you're wondering, honey is a boy (man … he's my manfriend 😀 ).
7 years ago I had no idea where we'd be. We started dating after knowing each other for 6 years. We attended the same college, had many friends in common, parallel lives in several senses. Then we went to grad school, and one night, out of the blue, I called to say high. This was in June of 2005. We've spoken almost every night since then. Though we've had big fights, arguments and disagreements, we've never broken up.
Honey is my best friend. We understand each other, and even when we're apart, like now, sometimes we're still very much synchronized. I think we have a very good connection, one not forged by magical thinking, but by lots of work, communication and understanding.
For our anniversary we're going out of state for a weekend of exploring and enjoying, much like we've done in the past, much like we did when we lived together.
My heart breaks every time something happens and I can't be with him because of my job and being in NYC. I've started looking for work back in my hometown. I want to be close to my honey, to our families.
I've started to dream of the future, and of honey becoming Mr. 27 and a PhD. I dream of a little house, a dog and our cat, two steady jobs, our old decorations from our first place together in Canada, now all settled in our own little space at home. I hope this dream comes true soon.
We've been together for the duration of both of our PhDs. He attended my defense and was my only company for graduation. I couldn't attend his graduation, but did attend his defense. I felt like I was defending myself.
I treasure every year, every trip, every visit, call, card and email. I still get giddy when we kiss and I look forward to his every text or DM. Technology has been good to us, even when life keeps us physically apart.
I can't wait to have honey with me in the coming days. I love you my precious, my precious, handsome man. I hope we celebrate 7 x 7, and many more.
No, hon and I are not pregnant.
For a while I've been thinking about this post and what I want to say. This is by no means an absolute final decision, but it has been a process and I feel like writing it down and sharing it (and having it here, for the future).
I grew up in a very roman catholic household. My mom is a very devoted person, and I admire her for that. Her faith is deep and her commitment is sincere. She's the best mom one could wish for, always sweet and cheery when we talk, especially cheery when we talk about my nephew, her first grandson.
Years ago, while I was still in grad school, my mom and I were having a conversation about kids, and I can't remember what exactly brought up the discussion, but she ended up sharing how unhappy she's been in her marriage to my dad and how, had she known how her life turned out to be, she would have worked all her life, retire early and travel all over the world. I asked her if she regretted having kids, to which she said she loved my sister and I more than her own life, yet, if she could do things differently, she would stay single and just travel.
I didn't feel sad when my mom admitted this, instead, I took it as food for thought and started thinking about whether I wanted to have kids myself. I love to travel (even when I have to resort to using flying deathtraps to move from one place to the next), I love focusing on me and on my honey, spending time with my family, and taking off when I want, and not have a care in the world (except that I need to leave a clean litterbox and full food and water dispensers for kitty).
For a long time honey has been mentioning how much people in general annoy him … or really, interacting with them. He doesn't like making calls (I always ordered take out for us and he was more than happy to pick food up, an arrangement I totally love), talking to strangers, people encroaching in his space (one time he had this woman in a bus touch his hair just 'cause … WTF?). I on the other hand like to interact with people, I'm very sociable, but sometimes I can be shy (yeah, I know, hard to believe, eh?) I prefer to be a hermit and stay indoors with him (when he's visiting or when we lived together).
One thing where we're both of the similar school of thought is that we find some kids annoying (him more than me, but yes, I do find some kids annoying, the boisterous ones, screaming children at stores, kids who are older yet refuse to cover when coughing or sneezing (adults too)). This from a person who liked to babysit 4 kids at once!
We've talked about kids, Mr. Honey and I, and we're sort of leaning towards adopting, should we ever have some need for having offspring. It's an idea we're totally happy with. I've always been crazy scared of giving birth, both naturally and by c-section. I'm afraid of epidurals and the same with episiotomies. I'm scared of what a kid will to do my body and hormones (as it is they're always in some crazy state). I have severe PMS, which makes me worry about not being able to take my medicine for a long time, and even more scared of PPD. I'm afraid of a kid encroaching in our space, and what genetic defects he/she may have because of my age. So many fears and worries.
I grew up with everyone and their cousin telling me that I should be a mom, that besides a decent job and a healthy marriage, I should have a kid, or better yet, two or three. But at the same time I saw their marriages crumbling, their lack of care for the kids, and in some cases, resentment. And early on I figured that just because someone was biologically equipped to be a parent, that didn't necessarily translate into being a good parent. On one side my church was telling me that I should be like Mother Mary, on the other, I didn't feel a nagging sensation to not be like her.
Though my mind is not completely made up, I'm leaning towards postponing motherhood/parenthood until later, especially given our interest in adopting and being on the same page. At the same time I struggle explaining and defending my position to (possibly) avoid biological children to family and friends (though hon's mom seems to be on board, as long we we do it sooner rather than later so she gets to enjoy a granddaughter (we're all on board with this) now and not 20 years from now.
What's even weirder is that I'm totally on board with surrogacy. How weird is it that I'd be OK carrying someone else's child and not my own?
So, for now, no kids for us, thank you. But if we do it, it will most likely involve adopting. After all, with so many children suffering abuse and neglect we feel like giving that child a happy home, on our own terms, and age. What are your thoughts?

Luke 13:10-14, "On A Sabbath Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues, and a woman was there who had been crippled by a spirit for eighteen years. She was bent over and could not straighten at all. When Jesus saw her, he called her forward and said to her, "Woman, you are set free from your infirmity." Then he put his hands on her. And immediately she straightened up and praised GOD. Indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, the synagogue ruler said to the people, "There are six days for work. So come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath."
Love is not work!
Have you ever had one of those times where loving someone seemed like work. Was it a spouse, a son or daughter, a bother or sister, a mother or father?
If love is not work, why do we have to work so hard to love?
There are times I can sympathize with the synagogue ruler who says to the people, "There are six days for work, so come and be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath." There are those days I feel tired, taxed beyond what I can take. There are those days I feel like it is too much work to love.
If you are tired… take a break, but don't confuse love with work.
I was blessed to go with the Senior High to Fort Defiance, Arizona for a week of work, eating, devotions, and contemplation time. One of the questions asked during contemplation time was "How can you love people better back home?" My response was… You can't! You can only love the way you love now! You can wish you loved more, or you can wish you had loved more, but now you can only love as you are loving now, in this moment. How do you want this moment to be? Loving or wishing?
Today as you work… work hard and know that GOD loves you.
Today as you love… love hard and know that GOD doesn't love you if you love, GOD loves you so you can love. AMEN!
Precious Father, Loving GOD, Holy Spirit, I pray. I pray that you help me to love more. Love you, love my family, love my friends, love every man, woman, and child on this earth more every minute of every day. AMEN!

Hope everyone is having a lovely 4th of July!! When planning decor for this fun summer holiday, images of stars and the beach came to my mind. Combine those two images, and I got starfish!!
My idea was to create a welcoming arrangement that captured the colors and themes of the 4th but had a soft, natural, and whimsical appearance.
For this project, I gathered a couple dozen starfish and painted a third of them red, a third of them blue, and left the rest in their white color.
Heavily watering down a small amount of red and blue acrylic paint allowed me to keep the hues soft and translucent. Using a large brush, I painted each starfish in a few quick brushstrokes.
After letting the paint dry, I secured each starfish to a bamboo stick using a sage green twist-tie.
Some starfish rest on the table around the large arrangement, and some even cling to the large tree branches I found in the neighborhood. These barnicle-looking branches give another dimension to the nature inspired scene.
Not only are the starfish perfect for our country's celebration, but they can be enjoyed for the rest of the summer!
Thank you for visiting Nora's Nest, and have a happy holiday weekend!

Spinal injuries are inevitably serious in that they are usually cause some degree of paralysis. Unfortunately they usually have long term and often life long implications.
Most spinal injuries that result from medical negligence occur as a result of a delay in diagnosis on the spinal injury or incorrectly carried out surgery.
Cauda Equina syndrome is a very specific spinal cord injury and occurs when the nerves in the spinal canal have been damaged. Cauda Equina syndrome affects the nerves supplying the muscles of the legs, bladder, bowel and genitals. Cauda Equina syndrome is a surgical emergency as if it is not treated swiftly it can lead to permanent loss of bowel and bladder control and a reduction in ability along with permanent pain.
Cauda Equina claims generally arise from:

Hi there,
Yes, absolutely!
As per the Food Servings Guide a serve size for ricotta is 1/2 a cup (for meals). The herbs & chilli flakes will be great for adding flavour and can be used freely. A slice of wholemeal bread would be your 1 serve of starchy carbs and then you just need 2 cups of non starchy carbs to make up the meal which could be in the form of 2 cups of salad foods or 1 cup salad foods plus a piece of fruit.
Kindest Regards,
BT Nutritionist 🙂

Join us for a Freedom Canvass in VA-10 as part of Interrupt Trump 2018, the largest Jewish grassroots election effort to mobilize voters in response to this historically dangerous time in our country
Republican incumbent Barbara Comstock has voted with Trump 97.4%. By replacing Trump's enablers in Congress, we can stem the tide of inhumane policies coming from the White House.
We'll give you all the training you need at the beginning of the canvass and then you'll hit our canvass routes in pairs!
Note: Meeting time and location are not yet confirmed — details for canvasses are usually finalized 10 days before the event. RSVP and we'll email you as soon as we have details!

As Walt Disney once said: "If you can dream it, then you can do it" … but the line between crazy and ingenious is often a very very thin one, and sometimes ideas that sound great in your head should really just stay there. Take a look at some of the most wacky inventions from the past. Do you see a comeback in any of these?
The very first life jacket seems to have taken its cue from sausage links. Yeah, they may look silly, but these weenies saved lives!

Significance and Use
4.1 This test method may be used for material development, material comparison, quality assurance, characterization, and design code or model verification.
4.2 Engineering applications of ceramics frequently involve biaxial tensile stresses. Generally, the resistance to equibiaxial flexure is the measure of the least flexural strength of a monolithic advanced ceramic. The equibiaxial flexural strength distributions of ceramics are probabilistic and can be described by a weakest-link failure theory (1, 2).4 Therefore, a sufficient number of test specimens at each testing condition is required for statistical estimation or the equibiaxial strength.
4.3 Equibiaxial strength tests provide information on the strength and deformation of materials under multiple tensile stresses. Multiaxial stress states are required to effectively evaluate failure theories applicable to component design, and to efficiently sample surfaces that may exhibit anisotropic flaw distributions. Equibiaxial tests also minimize the effects of test specimen edge preparation as compared to uniaxial tests because the generated stresses are lowest at the test specimen edges.
4.4 The test results of equibiaxial test specimens fabricated to standardized dimensions from a particular material or selected portions of a component, or both, may not totally represent the strength properties in the entire full-size component or its in-service behavior in different environments.
4.5 For quality control purposes, results derived from standardized equibiaxial test specimens may be considered indicative of the response of the bulk material from which they were taken for any given primary processing conditions and post-processing heat treatments or exposures.
1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers the determination of the equibiaxial strength of advanced ceramics at ambient temperature via concentric ring configurations under monotonic uniaxial loading. In addition, test specimen fabrication methods, testing modes, testing rates, allowable deflection, and data collection and reporting procedures are addressed. Two types of test specimens are considered: machined test specimens and as-fired test specimens exhibiting a limited degree of warpage. Strength as used in this test method refers to the maximum strength obtained under monotonic application of load. Monotonic loading refers to a test conducted at a constant rate in a continuous fashion, with no reversals from test initiation to final fracture.
1.2 This test method is intended primarily for use with advanced ceramics that macroscopically exhibit isotropic, homogeneous, continuous behavior. While this test method is intended for use on monolithic advanced ceramics, certain whisker- or particle-reinforced composite ceramics, as well as certain discontinuous fiber-reinforced composite ceramics, may also meet these macroscopic behavior assumptions. Generally, continuous fiber ceramic composites do not macroscopically exhibit isotropic, homogeneous, continuous behavior, and the application of this test method to these materials is not recommended.
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

We have one of the best MLS systems in the country, Part of being the best is being on the forefront of innovation which means continual change . . . forever. This post goes a long way towards explaining the WHY of steady stream of updates we are noticing.
Have you ever observed RealTracs make a change to something small, and you were left scratching your head? Did you ask "why," or "how does this affect me?" If so, you were probably not alone, and it is certainly worth further explanation.
As you can imagine, there is an enormous amount of data, which brokers authorize RealTracs to send on their behalf, to hundreds of website providers, back-office tool providers, showing services, statistical companies, advertisers, and more. Not only do all these vendors receive data from RealTracs, but they also get listing information from other MLSs, literally from coast-to-coast.
That's a lot of data.
Not only that, but it has to be understood by everyone to make it worth sending. This is where the Real Estate Standards Organization (RESO) Data Dictionary comes in. The RESO data dictionary is the "Rosetta Stone" for listing information. It ensures that technologists, MLSs, and…
