Sanja Miskovic
Assistant Professor
Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering
Research Focus:
Sanja Miskovic's research interests center upon improving the understanding, design and performance of mineral processing units and systems, mainly through the application of advanced numerical techniques using high-performance computing, innovative experimental approaches and statistical methods for big data analysis. Sanja's expertise is in the broad area of separation science and particle technology as related to minerals industry. In her research work she utilizes numerical and experimental techniques to evaluate and understand the relationships between flow dynamics, machine design and process efficiency of often very complex multiphase and multicomponent systems. Currently, Sanja is working on the development of novel nuclear imaging system for precise in-situ characterization of dynamic changes in continuous multiphase systems. She is also actively involved in the research on optimization and control of mineral processing units and circuits for increased plant availability, increased productivity and reduction of water and energy consumption.
As a consequence of a rapid population growth worldwide, which is inevitably coupled with the constant demand for better living standards, more and more natural resources will be required in the future. This trend will surely continue, as raw materials continue to play a pivotal role in developing the next generation of green technologies, such as technologies for energy storage, energy conversion and IT technologies, among many others. Even though industries responsible for the production of raw materials provide invaluable resources necessary for the development of modern society, they are also directly responsible for environmental pollution, climate change and health problems. For that reason, the transition to more suitable and sustainable technologies that will meet the demands of both developed and developing nations, without further damaging the natural environment, human health and the Earth's climate system, is of utmost importance. Sanja's personal long-term agenda is to address this need through the development of innovative solutions, new technologies and processing pathways that will enable efficient and environmentally sound concentration, extraction, and refinement of minerals, metals, fuels and waste.
Prior to UBC:
Sanja received her BEng and MSc degrees in chemical and environmental engineering from the University of Novi Sad and completed her PhD in mining and minerals engineering at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Before joining UBC's Norman B. Keevil Institute of Mining Engineering, she worked as a faculty at the University of Utah, Department of Metallurgical Engineering.
Sanja's efforts were recognized with the Outstanding Teacher Award for her commitment to teaching at the University of Utah. In addition, she is a recipient of the prestigious University of Utah Beacons of Excellence Award for creating transformational experiences that empower students. While at Virginia Tech, she received a prestigious Henry DeWitt Smith Scholarship by AIME/SME and Dean's Pratt Fellowship for Research and Academic Accomplishments.
Personal Interests:
In her leisure time, Sanja enjoys being outdoors, mountain biking, playing basketball and other fitness activities. She likes to unwind by taking long walks on the beach with her husband and daughter (and fly a kite if weather permits). Sanja is a passionate audiophile and digital artist. She loves cooking and baking, as well as creating and building things and art.

If you were not there, you missed a wondrous Hurling experience in the ballast pit on Saturday 28th September.
The 2 Skerries Harps u12 Hurling teams welcomed to Hurling heavyweight clubs to the ballast pit for 2 important end of season league games.
First up, was the div7 encounter against Faughs. The game started off at a hectic pace, with Faughs scoring first. It would be the only time the Skerries harps lads were behind, but they did have to fight a rearguard action at the end to hold out. The team were led by captain, Mikey Joyce in goals, who was a rock all day. His 2 full backs, feimi & david mellows gave their best displays all year, as on countless occasions they repelled the Faughs attack. The half back line was led by the lion of the team Alan Joyce & Robert Kenny. The 2 lads were the launch pad for the teams countless scoring efforts.
In the middle we had the tireless Conor nulty who harried for the dirty ball, and he was accompanied by the mercurial Sean Maguire. The front line was led by eoghan mcdonald, who drove the team forward and ran the show up front, accompanied by the speedster Clinton Opara.
The skerries team were very lucky to have 2 goal poachers of the like, in Adam Wynn & Brian Brennan, who took their chances when it arrived. Thoroughly deserved performance, which pushed the lads up mid table. Final score, Harps 8-1, Faughs 4-8.
If you hadn't enough excitement for one morning, next up immediately after was the Div1 clash with Ballyboden st endas. The Harps lads have played them on a number of occasions over the last couple of years, and each game was a close encounter, but unfortunately the boys never got the win they deserved. This day was going to be different, as once the lads arrived for their warm up, they were anxious to get started.
The game flowed back and forth, with Ballyboden starting the best with a point, but skerries responded immediately with a bullet of a goal from Rob Delaney.
Ballyboden themselves responded with a goal. This was going to be very tight affair, no different than previous encounters. The launch pad for skerries were the enormous long puck outs from our goalie! Adam Fearon( who incidentally went and scored a hat trick for the u14's in the afternoon!)
Our defence was as strong as it had been all year, with first of all Darragh Archbold, then Cain mullarkey joining Adam El shamy closing down every Boden effort. Scores were traded, and the half back line of The 2 Matthews, Dooley & Kelly, were winning the primary possession to feed to our midfield dynamos and leaders, of captain Paul Wilde & Finn Chatten.
The half forward line of the Harps high fielder, Jacob grimes, and the industrious david Boyd with his spellbinding solo runs, were creating chances for the full forward line of Darragh Archbold and our top scorer, Robert Delaney. With minutes running out, and the loyal supporters nervous for the final whistle, david Boyd eased the tension, with a final goal for skerries.
What a win! Final score, 4-4 to 2-6 for the moriarty sponsored skerries harps. 2 great wins on the Saturday morning, of one of the greatest sporting games of all time take place in Croke park later that day.
Well done all the lads and supporters.

Well, the big adventure is underway, and we're reporting live from northern Peru, where our family will be living for the foreseeable future. So far we've survived an earthquake in neighboring Ecuador, mal agua, unseasonable heat, unprecedented precipitation (flooding both inside and outside the house), and severe sunburn, and we're still here to talk about it.
Oh, and killer mosquitos. I use the term metaphorically, of course, since these local ones don't actually seem to be carriers of deadly diseases; but they are so profuse and pestilential that they seem pretty dastardly. On my to-do list for this week:
- Learn the names of mosquito-repelling plants in Spanish (romero, albahara, menta, y lavanda—check); and
- Find a place that sells these plants live; and
- Buy pots and pots of them and turn our casa bonita into a veritable conservatory.
I want to say that we're getting up and running with our life here, but of course before you can run you have to walk, and right now I feel like we're still in the crawling stage. Everything seems to take about three times as long as I think it should. Part of that, I recognize, is my innate impatience, my obsession with efficiency, and my American expectation of convenience and instantaneous service. Part of it is simply a very steep learning curve.
For instance, I seem to spend about two hours in the grocery store for each errand: half of that is spent wandering around the aisles trying to figure out where things are, what things are, how to read the labels, and trying to convert the volumes, quantities, and prices to familiar benchmarks; the rest of the time is usually spent standing in line waiting to check out. Eventually I will learn what to buy and what is a good price to pay; and I will either adapt to the long waits, find a better time to shop, or both.
We're finding our way around here. Basic communication isn't a problem, and I find that my rudimentary Spanish is sufficient to function. I'm very eager to improve, however, past the point of superficialities, which I'm sure will come in time.
At least I can decipher most of the road signs. Driving is an adventure in and of itself. The traffic laws are quite different here, and, anyway, no one seems to follow them (there are sometimes four lines of traffic driving down a two-lane street).
As for the children, they're learning new words rapidly, tentatively making a few friends, and finding their way around our new house and neighborhood. They have the opportunity to attend Spanish classes at the local school, so I'm excited about how that will improve their vocabulary and circle of acquaintance.
During the first week in our new house, we ran out of gas to power the stove while I was still cooking dinner, lost our water supply for a few hours, and had no functioning key for the front door. But we managed to make do with a hefty deadbolt, fortunately had enough boiled water on reserve to last through the outage, and were able to pile into the car and run out to the local polleria for dinner, where a full meal of pollo a la brasa with papas fritas and cremas (the regional specialty: basically very yummy rotisserie chicken with French fries and assorted sauces) for the whole family cost less than $15.
While many of the obstacles we've faced have presented challenges, one thing that hasn't been lacking is a warm and welcoming community. I hope to write more about our local church and some of the friends we're making in a future article.
For now, we're still trying to catch up on sleep. At least we don't have to contend with Daylight Savings Time, as Peru doesn't observe that. One less thing to worry about!

In this post, I'd like to share things I learned while studying in Italy and working as a shopping assistant. Incorporating trendy pieces into the wardrobe and shopping at a fast fashion retail is fun. Yet, you must consider investing in quality pieces as well. I mean classic, timeless basics. These garments have high-quality tailoring that compliment your body shape, as well as your personal style. Each basic must be practical and versatile for day and evening. Here are 10 items every woman must own. Splurge on these items, even if you have a tight budget.
Trench coat. Invest in a great quality trench coat. I recommend Burberry with its distinctive tartan pattern lining. Company founder Thomas Burberry designed this item.
Leather jacket. Splurge on a great leather jacket. Loewe, Spanish luxury fashion house based in Madrid, is world-famous for its leather craftsmanship. Its clients have clothes and accessories tailored to their own personal requirements. Also, you can find great quality leather jacket at good value at www.yoox.com
Striped shirt. Traditional striped cotton shirts ("La Mariniere" or Breton shirt) originated in Brittany, France. Sailors wore these uniforms throughout Northern France. The distinctive block pattern on shirt made them easier to spot in the waves. The traditional Breton shirt usually has a boat neckline. The uniforms inspired Coco Chanel and she introduced the design through her nautical collection in 1917. For more information about Chanel click here. For info on how to pull off a stripe look click here.
Little black dress. Coco Chanel also designed a timeless classic piece that every woman must have. The little black dress is worn during the day and evening.
Capri or cropped pants. Numerous celebrities, including Audrey Hepburn, Jane Russell, Kim Novak, Jacqueline Kennedy, Elizabeth Taylor, wore the capri. They were designed by the Sonja de Lennart. She named those pants after her favorite holiday destination ― an island on the south side of the Gulf of Naples in the Campania region of Italy.
Pant Suit/Skirt Suit. Based on your body shape, you must have a pant suit or skirt suit. Avoid buying yours in fast-fashion retail strips. I can instantly recognize a cheap product from a high-quality tailored one. A great suit is timeless and worth of splurge. I personally recommend choosing from Hugo Boss, Emporio/Giorgio Armani, Balenciaga, Costume National or Calvin Klein.
T-Shirt. You must have at least one high-quality designer T-Shirt. This item will go through multiple washings but always look like new. A great T-shirt gives a youthful touch to any outfit and can be combined with other basics. Choose one that can be worn during the day and evening.
Pencil Skirt. The right pencil skirt flatters any body shape when combined with the right pieces. Choose one that has a lining, which indicates quality, especially in suits and pencil skirts.
A pair of jeans. No commentary needed. You must have a pair of great fitting jeans.
White Shirt. If you purchase the right one, a classic button-down shirt looks amazing. It is necessary, however, to choose a high-quality fabric and a style that has a well-tailored design that compliments your body shape. It's a versatile piece. Pair it with jeans and it's polished and casual. Wear it with a pencil skirt and high heels for a chic office look. Accessories and jewelry will change the appearance of just one simple classic shirt. Click here for more details.

Nina Thiel has served as a campus minister with InterVarsity, a Christian fellowship, since she graduated from University of the Pacific in 1982, and when auditions for Stockton Civic Theatre's "Calendar Girls" were announced, she passed.
Her ambivalence centered on the nudity in the show, in which a group of older women in a Women's Institute group in Yorkshire, England, hit upon the idea of posing nude for a calendar to raise money for a new settee at the local hospital, where one of the women sat as her husband was dying of leukemia.
Then Thiel got an email that one more character needed to be cast, and her son John urged her to audition.
"I read parts of the script we'd be reading," Thiel said. "I loved it."
Thiel discovered the play, based on a true story and inspired by the hit 2003 film starring Helen Mirren, is more than a story of older women stripping for a cause.
"What was really exciting about it is it's a play, at its core, about female friendship," said Beth Lopes, a Los Angeles-based guest director. "This is about female friendship and holding each other up through dark times. There's also a lot of comedy too, and the outrageous calendar. The story that's important to me is women seizing ownership of their bodies. For a lot of women, in America specifically, their worth is tied to youth a lot of times. This play is a testament to women being sexy, powerful and worthwhile at any age. That's mirrored in the characters and the company of actors playing them. They're incredible. It feels very important right now to be doing a play about strong, intelligent, brave women holding each other up."
For Cindy Braden, who plays Annie, the character whose husband dies, the show, in some ways, was better than real life.
"I feel like strong, powerful women have a hard time trusting other women," Braden said. "I feel like I have that tendency. I'm kind of a loner. I don't have a lot of girlfriends. I think women get caught up at this age in their 40s and 50s, raising our families. We don't have a lot of time for other women, for friendships. Being thrust into this changed me. I spend so much of my time with other women. It's beautiful. They're going through the same stuff. I trust more again. We have each other's back. It's like going to a support group every night."
The bond was strengthened, particularly among the six women involved in posing for the calendar, because of the nudity involved, although audience members won't be exposed.
"It was scary, but afterward we felt so much closer," said Braden, a music teacher and mom to a 14-year-old son. "The first time, I wore extra deodorant; I was just sweating it. Then it just felt like, oh, my gosh, we're all beautiful, wonderful and different. I always knew (that). (Whether) you're a (size) 2 or a 12 or 22, when you're there for each other, you're all beautiful at the end of the day."
Without fanfare, Thiel disrobed in rehearsal first, never getting to Lopes' plan to ease into it by first rehearsing in underwear.
"My character, Chris, led the way in the play and I was going to lead the way," Thiel said. "I don't know if it fired everybody up, but I felt we should just do it. It was fine. I was more thinking about it as performer, more worried about getting the shirt unsnapped and open than about what was underneath."
That confidence, Thiel said, is a credit to Lopes, who not only tested the view of every seat in the theater but made her cast comfortable.
"She is fantastic," Thiel said. "She's just amazing. I appreciate her level of professionalism. She's a wonderful director and gets the best out of all of us. That's been wonderful, too. That matters a lot to me. You have to trust your director."
Lopes, a New York University theater major who lives in Los Angeles with her actor husband, a cat and a dog, travels throughout the country to direct. She was invited to direct "Calendar Girls" by SCT artistic director Dennis Beasley, with whom she attended graduate school at the University of California, Irvine, when she decided she wanted to focus on directing rather than acting.
"I feel so lucky," Lopes said of the SCT experience. "I felt everyone was so welcoming. The theater embraced me with open arms. They were all on board for what I wanted to do with the show and everyone was on the same page. It was a lovely environment. I would be happy to come back."

Summer Fun with Super Soakers!
Monday July 14, 2014see more by jen
Summer is in full swing these days and for us, that means a TON of water play.
My girls live in their swimsuits in the backyard all summer long with their blow up pool, sprinkler toys and now, two new Nerf Super Soakers courtesy of Hasbro to add extra fun into the water play for those hot days.
The Nerf Rebelle Dolphina Bow Blaster (ages 6+) is a girly soaker that unleashes a stream of water with a bow and arrow type of action. ($16.99)
Just look how fierce my little one looks above armed with her Dolphina in the photo above! She means business.
The Nerf Super Soaker Tri Strike Crossbow Water Blaster (ages 6+) takes the soaker game to an entirely new level, with long range blasting power up to 35 feet! ($24.99)
It is not only the girls who had fun with these soakers, but my husband also took a turn at the Tri Strike Crossbow and the girls had to talk him into surrendering it because he was having too much fun.
The two deployable blast arms activate triple water streams of up to 45 ounces.
These would make great summer birthday gifts, or fun new additions to your backyard fun or pool parties. For anyone with a pool, these would be super cool.
Or, gather up a group of friends and make a game of water wars.
You can shop the entire line of Nerf Super Soakers on the www.HasbroToyShop.com site. The Nerf Super Soakers are also available at stores nationwide.
Ready, aim, soak!
Disclosure: I received these Hasbro products complimentary for review.

Something that isn't Supernatural? GASP! SHOCKING! ;p
This is somewhat a way of promoting my love for Legend of the Seeker, despite the announcement of it being canceled. One of my massive loves comes from its characters, all of them actually, especially these two lovely hardcore ladies kicking some major ass and looking gorgeous doing so. ♥ These kinds of fighting sequences happen almost every episode, including the slow-motion camera techniques which is something of a signature for the show. I just love seeing the choreography of every fight scene, it's so remarkable and the fact that these ladies fight in those outfits astounds me. Plus them beating up a gang of men is never not gonna be awesome seeing all the time, hee.
And let me just say this: Legend of the Seeker achieves where Supernatural utterly fails at concerning the writing of female characters. In fact, I haven't seen strong women like I've seen on LOTS in a very, very long time. And that's saying something, which makes it harder to accept that it'll be gone from my screen. *insert sadface here*
This is also my attempt at getting others converted to this amazingly awesome show, so if you like what you see, start watching! In addition to that, please sign this petition so that LOTS can get a third season. It might be a long-shot, but we still gotta try.

It is a beautiful, yet scorching day here in Los Angeles, and the only reason I would ever step outside from my air-conditioned castle would be to grill out by the pool. There's just one problem: backyards are few and far between here in The City of Angels.
But not having space, or the equipment, isn't going to stop me. There are plenty of ways to make a large grill out of various things, but those of you who are lone wolves and frequently make dinner for one, I have your back too. You can make a mini makeshift grill, working off a variation of the Bitty-Q, thanks to an easy tutorial from CrazyRussianHacker.
What You'll Need
- 2 foil loaf pans
- 2 large binder clips
- Charcoal
- Pliers
- Lighter
- Knife
- Wire hanger
- Doritos or Fritos
How to Build It
- Take the foil pans and put them together, turning the top pan upside down.
- Cut two slits in the back side of the pans and clip the binder clips where the slits are. Put one binder clip on the top pan.
- Take a wire hanger, cut it, and make a zig zag pattern out of the wire using pliers.
- Cut a triangle into the sides of the top pan, with four slits on the front and three triangles on the back of the bottom pan for ventilation.
- Add charcoal to the grill and a couple chips, which will help start and maintain the fire until the charcoal gets going.
- Light the chips, and when the charcoal burns, add the wire hanger and a hot dog.
- Close the grill and wait about five minutes.
Boom! Now you've got a perfect little BBQ for one that's as easy to clean as it was to make.

Summer of 2018 is officially almost over!
It has been such a successful summer for us at Hope Rescue Centre. Every summer we add a camp, or do things a bit differently to try and improve. I personally, LOVED having a sleep away camp and a VBS morning and afternoon camp. We worked with dozens more children than we had done in the previous years and overall, I think it suited the RHCC teams more!
The final summer camp was also a huge success! Unfortunately, I was ill for a lot of it and couldn't be as involved as I wanted BUT here are some picture of some of the fun things these village children got to experience! Museums, castles, behind the scenes of the airport, the airport control tower etc etc etc, all of these experiences were so new for these children and truly, a once in a lifetime experience. We hope that it encouraged them to stay in school and work towards getting a job in one of these fields!
It is crazy how quickly this summer has gone, but I am already looking forward to see what we do next year for all of these children!
For now, it is a time of rest, relaxation and preparation for my trip to Los Angeles in a month. I am only going for a short amount of time and will try and meet with as many supporters, Bible Studies, and church services as possible. Without these people, I couldn't do this so I am working on squeezing everyone in!
If you would like to meet between mid September and the beginning of October, please email me and we can schedule it!
Thanks again, for your continued support!
Blessings from Bucharest!

All Teeth and No Fairies!
July 17, 2018
Hola Bitcholas,
It seems that today's show kept veering into the territory of 'parents who keep their kids baby teeth' and 'parents who have lost their kids at a store/ in public', etc.
That wasn't our intent, but when either of these came up, plenty of comments came our way. What we learned is, when you were a kid, you disappeared for awhile and freaked your parents out. Subsequently, every parent has lost their kid for enough time to go into a panic. 100% universal.
As far as parents who keep their kids baby teeth, well, WE think it's creepy, but a LOT of people are keeping their kids teeth. Crazy.
OK, I'm outta here.
Until tomorrow, do what you do best and STAY BEAUTIFUL!

Class Action
In Reckless Hands: Skinner v Oklahoma and the Near-Triumph of American Eugenics
By Victoria F Nourse
W W Norton 240pp £15.99 order from our bookshop
Skinner v Oklahoma (1942) is an important US Supreme Court decision, because, in annulling an Oklahoma sterilisation law, it supposedly inaugurated the modern era of civil rights. As William O Douglas, perhaps the most activist of the court's liberal judges, observed in Skinner's opening sentence: 'This case touches a sensitive and important area of human rights. Oklahoma deprives certain individuals of a right which is basic to the perpetuation of a race – the right to have offspring.' From this resonant reasoning are thought to flow many later decisions – famously, in Roe v Wade (1973), the 'right to privacy' – that have appalled conservatives, who can locate no such rights in the text of the constitution. Victoria Nourse plausibly suggests that this interpretation of Skinner is erroneous and that the decision, despite being made by a court staffed by New Dealers, reflected an older, not an innovative jurisprudence.

At Alliance Facades, we take collaboration very seriously. So much so, it's in our name!
Whether it be on safety, quality, cost or time, collaboration on all matters from the outset will ensure a better outcome for the entire supply chain and all that work within it. That is why we put cooperation at the forefront of our business.
Modern construction projects in the UK are complex – there is no getting away from it. Restrictive planning requirements, funding constraints, ever changing weather patterns and some of the most established (and at times confusing) building regulations make even the simplest of projects seem daunting. We believe these challenges make the need for a collaborative working environment even greater.
For many years, the concept of collaborative working has been championed in construction articles and government backed reports as 'the future'. For those of us who have worked in the industry for a while, this is a world away from reality. Ever increasing payment terms, extended retention holding periods and the passing of substantial risk down the supply chain does nothing to convince us that collaborative working practices are becoming more mainstream.
That being said, there are greens shoots appearing in the industry. The unwelcome downfall of one of the facade sectors darlings – Lakesmere – and of construction giant Carillion may be the catalyst to the widespread use of ring-fenced project bank accounts, which will go some way to protect the supply chain and in turn, promote cooperation. Collaborative forms of contract also appear to be on the rise, generally led by public sector projects. In their unamended form, these contracts try to establish shared risk and rewards, early interaction and good faith throughout the supply chain. Some voices within the industry have even gone as far as to say that construction contracts will become obsolete if collaborative practices become the norm.
Whilst the utopia of a construction industry without the need for contracts may be some way off, we are proud to do our part in promoting long lasting partnerships with both our clients and sub-contractors. We believe that most, if not all of the challenges presented when constructing any facade can be negated through cooperative working practices.
Please visit us at www.alliancefacades.com or email firstname.lastname@example.com for more information on how we can assist you.
Alliance Facade Services Ltd is a business operating throughout the UK which is dedicated to the provision of specialist services to the Glazing, Fenestration, Curtain Walling and Cladding sectors.

Online videogame company Trion World Network has raised a monster $70 million third round of funding from sources including NBC U and Time Warner, while struggling Sumner Redstone-owned Midway Games is borrowing $40 million from the mogul's own National Amusements to fund its slate through the end of the year.
Midway, which has consistently lost money since Redstone purchased it in 2004 and is currently chaired by the mogul's daughter Shari, will sell up to $40 million of its accounts receivable to National Amusements through Dec. 31 in order to pay for manufacturing its new games, which include "Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe," "TNA Impact," and "Blitz: The League II."
It's the second loan this year to Midway from National Amusements, an exhibition chain that also serves as an investment vehicle for the Redstone clan. In March, it gave Midway a $90 million credit facility. Sumner Redstone owns approximately 90% of Midway's stock.
In December, Shari Redstone took over as chairman. She fired former CEO David Zucker in March. The company is still looking for his replacement. Meanwhile, its stock value has continued to fall. On Monday, it closed down 11% at $2.48, giving Midway a total value of just $232 million.
Trion, meanwhile, raised $70 million in its third round. Media giants Time Warner and Peacock Equity — a joint venture of GE and NBC U — all participated again after investing in the second round. Other major investors included Act II Capital, DCM and Trinity Ventures. Total raised by the company is now over $100 million.
Trion, which has been building its business for two years, will publish and run videogames entirely online. Rather than sell discs, it will distribute and frequently update games from servers. It is currently building a massive multi-player online fantasy game to compete with "World of Warcraft" that will likely be its launch title next year, as well as a title being developed in concert with a new, undisclosed series at NBC U-owned Sci-Fi Channel.
"We had raised enough for platform development, but now we are able to productize it and scale so we can publish a large number of different videogame titles," CEO Lars Buttler said.
Trion is hoping to use its online platform to regularly update and expand its games, some of which will be made in partnership with traditional media companies.

We all know that style all the time repeats itself. As an alternative of the total-hipped skirts so standard throughout the first half of the decade, silhouettes grew to become slimmer. For the extra subtle, a permanent wave in the kinds favoured by Elizabeth Taylor and the younger Queen Elizabeth II were universally worn. 1950s Fashions, what we wear tells rather a lot a couple of tradition. Create beautiful retro outfits with our 1950s-style clothes!
Figure-hugging turtle necks were widespread on this group as well as outsized jumpers (sloppy Joe) with fitted trousers and flat ballet-fashion sneakers. While many of those formal fashions had been available in each junior and grownup sizes, judging by the styling and descriptions, these clothes had been positively meant to be worn while dancing in the adorned highschool gym accompanied by your beau.
It appeared that, because the finish of World Warfare II, fashion was taking a long time to settle into an accepted type which might stand, historically, as the look of the mid-century; but maybe it was part of the character of the time to allow this latitude for women to go well with themselves instead of forcing them right into a mold that might be appropriate or unsuitable.
Women clothes had been nearly all the time in nylon with skirts puffed out with petticoats. At the finish of the 1950's, we begin to see much less conservative styles appear. Towards the late 50s, designers started to stray from the construction of Nineteen Fifties silhouettes opting for trend that may free ladies from the restrictive hourglass silhouette. Wondering what some of the hottest 1950s model clothes were?
For summer season a brand new beachwear fashion was developing with matching styled bikinis paired with floating skirts. Vital double-breasted buttoning was also seen on the skirts as well as the bodices of suits and dresses; altogether there was a fantastic impression of plain tailored buttons being lavishly used on all kinds of day garments to emphasise the line.

"Recent discoveries at alpine sites south of the Park have demonstrated that some camp sites and large game drive systems date between 3850 and 3400 B.C. Even these well-used sites, however, are believed to have been temporary, seasonal camps, with Indians migrating to milder spots during winter. It is suspected that groups of people, primarily extended families, migrated each year from the lower elevations of the foothills up to the high country as seasonal conditions permitted and as wild plants ripened and animals became active."
"The most intriguing archeological remains from this era are the large stone structures of the game drive systems. Scholars have identified forty-two of these low-walled rock structures at locations along the Front Range crest. They are dry laid stone walls or closely built rock cairns, producing a slight barrier along the natural slopes. Some of these walls may stretch for hundreds of feet in length. One of these structures, for example, lies close to today's Trail Ridge Road. At one time pioneers speculated that these walls were fortifications, used by one tribe to defend its territory against an invader. Today, evidence points toward their use in hunting animals in country devoid of cover. Commonly used in other arctic or tundra environments, these slight walls served as devices that permitted hunters to direct or herd game animals toward men waiting with weapons. Quite a variety of walls were constructed, depending upon the lay of the land. Normally they were built by piling rocks in long rows, forming a perceptible barrier or wall. Sometimes the walls formed a U or V shape or had parallel rows; some also had pits nearby to help conceal an ambushing hunter. It is clear that building these rock-walled drive lines took considerable amounts of time and labor, but it is also assumed that these helpful structures were used repeatedly for centuries."
" In addition to using mountain passes for routes of travel, prehistoric people also hunted in the high country. They constructed rock walls to enhance the natural contour of the slopes, creating "game drive systems." Once thought to be Indian "forts" used to defend territory, it is now recognized that these walls allowed concealment in open country and helped guide sheep, deer, or elk toward awaiting hunters. More than forty such U-shaped and funnel-shaped drive systems have been identified along the crest of the Front Range. "
" It is probable that twenty to twenty-five people were needed to conduct an animal hunt of this type, with some Indians driving the mountain sheep or elk toward awaiting hunters poised to kill. Spears tipped with razor sharp stone points, or darts thrown with an atlatl or spear thrower may have been used to kill the animals. Mule deer, mountain sheep, elk, and bison became the primary animals hunted. "

While details of the Breaking Bad spinoff are still sparse, Peter Gould, who created the Saul Goodman character, hinted that Better Call Saul could end up being a courtroom drama.
In an interview with Yahoo TV, Gould said he has been spending time in courtrooms for research. Although he didn't say much more about this point, none of Breaking Bad's episodes took place in a courtroom, so that bit of information already suggests that Better Call Saul could go in a vastly different direction than its predecessor.
Another difference between the two series could be the setting. In September, Bob Odenkirk, who made his first appearance in the season two episode "Better Call Saul," said he felt Saul grew up in Chicago. While Peter Gould didn't confirm Odenkirk's belief that the strip mall lawyer hailed from the Windy City, he did say that it was implied throughout the series that he wasn't from Albuquerque.
"You really learn about a character through what they do, not where they were or who they were. You really learn about them through behavior," Gould said. "We sketched in loosely some ideas, and he certainly said a few things over the years that give you a feeling of where he's from."
Gould added, "The way he dresses and the car he drives give you a feeling he's probably not from Albuquerque."
Peter Gould said that, although it has been reported that Better Call Saul will premiere next fall, there wasn't a definite date yet, but that he and Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan, and others are "working on it." He also said he thinks the series will be "pretty unique" and that it won't be what fans are expecting.
In a separate interview with Access Hollywood, Bob Odenkirk also confirmed that the spinoff will be "something new."
The 51-year-old said, "Maybe it's prequel? Maybe it's sequel? Maybe it's both? They're talking about mixing it up. You may see a little of before [Breaking Bad], and a little of after. We'll see."
Odenkirk also confessed that he felt "a lot of pressure to do a good job" in the spinoff, but since some of the people involved with Breaking Bad are returning for Better Call Saul, "it's going to be a quality piece of work."

Trends in Educational Augmented Reality Studies: A Systematic Review
Volume 6 - Issue 2
Mustafa SIRAKAYA Didem ALSANCAK SIRAKAYAPages: 60-74 Download Count : 1394 View Count: 2239 DOI Number 10.17220/mojet.2018.02.005
This study aimed to identify the trends in the studies conducted on Educational Augmented Reality (AR). 105 articles found in ERIC, EBSCOhost and ScinceDirect databases were reviewed with this purpose in mind. Analyses displayed that the number of educational AR studies has increased over the years. Quantitative methods were mostly preferred in those articles and educational AR was often found to be used in science education (physics, chemistry and biology), engineering education and medical training. The reviewed articles showed that "undergraduate students" were used as samples for most of the time, the most often preferred sample size was between "31-100" and "surveys" were the most utilized data collection tools. While the majority of the articles used marker-based AR as AR type, mobile devices were utilized in many of these articles as the delivery technology. It is believed that the results obtained in this study will light the way for future research.

Doesn't love a wall
As we learned in Week 4, the special relationship between the PRC and DPRK was rooted in the soil of anti-Japanese, pro-Communist movements dating back to the 1920s and '30s. Fighting the Korean War together watered that soil with the blood of Chinese People's Volunteers soldiers who died far from home.
But the seeds of ambivalence between Chinese and North Koreans, also there from the start, did not go away. This week we looked at a series of crises that strained and nearly broke the Beijing-Pyongyang axis:
- Kim Il Sung's purge of China-aligned rivals within the Korean Worker's Party in 1956
- Mao Zedong's Great Proletarian Cultural Revolution, launched in 1966, with its anti-DPRK undertow
- "Nixon Shock" when Beijing began normalizing relations with the US in 1972
- Kim's hereditary succession plan, formalized at the KWP Congress in 1980
- Divergence in economic models as China embraced marketization and globalization
- "Roh Shock" when Beijing normalized relations with South Korea in 1992
The last on the list, China's normalization with the ROK, was perhaps the most devastating moment of "betrayal" from Pyongyang's perspective. The severe rupture in ties that ensued coincided with Kim Jong Il's succession and the terrible years of famine, North Korea's "Arduous March".
Yet, as the new millennium commenced, it seemed yet once again the Communist neighbors had mended their fence. In May 2000, "spring mending-time", Kim Jong Il made a three-day friendship trip to Beijing. Late that winter, he spent nearly a week in China. The Dear Leader had resumed his father's practice of being his own emissary to the Middle Kingdom.
In September 2001, President Jiang Zemin reciprocated with a three-day visit to Pyongyang. Jiang, you will recall, had visited the DPRK in March 1990, and in the decade-long interlude, slipped in the first state visit by a PRC leader to South Korea in 1995. China's strategy of being friends with enemies seemed to be working, aided by the newest and most significant effort by South Korea to reconcile with the North, as part of ROK President Kim Dae-jung's "sunshine policy".
Kim's China trip turned out to be the first salvo in a dazzling charm offensive that brought leaders from all of North Korea's strategic countries to Pyongyang for a summit: South Korean president Kim Dae-jung (June 2000); Russian president Vladimir Putin (July 2000); US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright (October 2000); Jiang Zemin (September 2001); and Japanese prime minister Junichiro Koizumi (September 2002). The bold moves to improve relations paralleled cautious domestic reforms to the North Korean economy—decentralizing decision-making, allowing more room for market forces, and inviting in foreign capital. Was Kim Jong Il following the Deng Xiaoping playbook of reform and opening-up?

Waste business staff and director fined for fly tipping unwanted wood
The director and staff at an Ashford based waste transfer business, have been fined over £25,000 after being caught fly tipping unwanted rubbish at a farm.
Officers from the Environment Agency saw lorries owned by Green Box Recycling Kent, who are based at Ashford Industrial Centre, Cobbs Wood, illegally dumping waste wood at Marlow Farm, near Lenham. It is not known whether the drivers then set fire to the wood themselves, or if they left it for other people to do.
The director of Green Box Recycling, Richard Monks, was fined £5,525 plus £9,000 costs, at Folkestone Magistrates Court. Mr Monks pleaded guilty on a personal level.
A driver for Green Box, named as Andrew Malyan, was also made to pay a fine of £3,689 plus £3,000 costs. The manager of the farm, Robert Clark, was fined £1,205 plus £3,000 costs.
The drivers at Green Box Recycling were not instructed, or spurred on to illegally fly tip the unwanted wood by Mr Monks but he did confirm that he knew some lorries were taking loads of waste wood to be burnt at Marlow Farm, on Flint Lane, near Lenham.
Mr Monks accepted that he chose to overlook the illegal activities and knowingly allowed up to fifteen loads of unwanted wood to be taken illegally to be burnt at Marlow Farm.
The driver, Andrew Maylan, said that someone within Green Box told him to dispose of the unwanted wood illegally. He is now the subject of a criminal conviction.
Alan Lansdale, the Environment manager, said: "Their actions showed blatant disregard for the environment. Waste crime can undermine legitimate businesses."
"In cases like this where illegal operations are connected with licensed businesses, we have no hesitation in prosecuting those involved as we want to make sure that waste crime doesn't pay."

The Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) (Tigrinya: ህዝባዊ ወያነ ሓርነት ትግራይ; ḥəzbawi wäyanä ḥarənnät təgray, "Popular Struggle for the Freedom of Tigray"; popularly known as ወያነ Wäyanä or ወያኔ Wäyane in older texts and Amharic publications[6]) is a political party in Ethiopia, established on 18 February 1975 in Dedebit, northwestern Tigray,[7] according to official records. Within 16 years, it had grown from a few dozen men (11 men) into the most powerful armed liberation movement in Ethiopia.[8] It has led a coalition of movements named the Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front (EPRDF) since 1989. With the help of its ally, the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF), EPRDF overthrew the dictatorial PDRE regime and established on 28 May 1991 a new government that has ruled Ethiopia ever since.[9] The TPLF and the EPLF are the only African liberation fronts which defeated an enemy whose military power is vastly superior: conducted as a "protracted peoples' war", the armed struggle against PDRE ended with a total military victory. They are also the only fronts that skilfully combined the struggle for national self-determination with radical socio-economic changes.[10]
The TPLF is, in a way, the product of the marginalization of Tigray within Ethiopia after Menelik II of Shewa had become emperor in 1889. The Tigrayan traditional elite and peasantry had a strong regional identity and deeply resented the decline of Tigray.[11] Memoirs of the armed revolt of 1942-43 (the "first [qädamay] wäyyanä") against the re-establishment of imperial rule after Italian colonialism remained alive and provided an important reference for the new generations of educated Tigrayan nationalists.[12]
At Haile Selassie I University (Addis Ababa University), from the early 1960s onwards, Tigrayan students created the Political Association of Tigrayans (PAT) in 1972 and the Tigrayan University Students' Association (TUSA). PAT developed into a radical nationalist group calling for the independence of Tigray, establishing the Tigray Liberation Front (TLF) in 1974. In TUSA emerged a Marxist trend favoring national self-determination for Tigray within a revolutionary transformed democratic Ethiopia.[13] Whereas the multinational left movements prioritised class struggle over the national self-determination of the Ethiopian nationalities, the Marxists of TUSA argued for self-determination as the launching pad for the ultimate socialist revolution, due to the existing inequalities among Ethiopian nationalities.[14]
In February 1974, the Marxists within TUSA welcomed the Ethiopian Revolution, but opposed the Derg as they were convinced that it would neither lead a genuine socialist revolution nor correctly resolve the Ethiopian nationality question. Three days after the Derg took power, on 14 September 1974, seven leaders of this trend established the Association of Progressives of the Tigray Nation (Tigrinya: ማሕበር ገስገስቲ ብሔር ትግራይ; Mahbär Gäsgästi Bəher Təgray), also known as Tigrayan National Organization (TNO): Alemseged Mengesha (nom de gurre: Haylu), Ammaha Tsehay (Abbay), Aregawi Berhe (Berhu), Embay Mesfin (Seyoum), Fentahun Zeatsyon (Gidey), Mulugeta Hagos (Asfeha) and Zeru Gesese (Agazi). TNO was to prepare the ground for the future armed movement of Tigray.[15]
It secretly approached both the Eritrean Liberation Front (ELF) and the Eritrean People's Liberation Front (EPLF) for support but the ELF already had relations with the TLF. In November 1974 the EPLF agreed to train TNO-members and allowed EPLF-fighters from the Tigrayan community in Eritrea, among them Mehari Tekle (Muse), to join the TPLF. The first batch of trainees was sent to the EPLF in January 1975.[16]
On the night of 18 February 1975, eleven men including Gesese Ayyele (Sehul), Gidey, Asfeha, Seyoum, Agazi, and Berhu left Enda Selassie for Sehul's home area of Dedebit, where they established the TPLF (original name Tigrinya: ተገድሎ ሐርነት ሕዝቢ ትግራይ; Tägadlo Harənnät Həzbi Təgray, "The Struggle for the Freedom of the People of Tigray"). Welde Selassie Nega (Sebhat), Legese Zenawi (Meles) and others soon joined the original group and, after the arrival of the trainees from Eritrea in June 1975, the TPLF had about 50 fighters.[15] It then chose a formal leadership composed of Sehul (Chairman), Muse (Military Commander) and the seven TNO-founders. Berhu was appointed as political commissioner. Sehul played a crucial role in helping the nascent TPLF to establish itself among the local peasantry.[17]
Although some successful raids established its military credibility, the TPLF grew to only about 120 fighters in early 1976, but a rapidly expanding clandestine networks of supporters in the towns and support base among the peasantry provided vital supplies and intelligence. On 18 February 1976 a fighters' conference elected a new leadership: Berhu (Chairman), Muse (Military Committee), Abbay (Political Committee), Agazi (Socio-Economic Committee), Seyoum (Foreign Relations), Gidey, and Sebhat.[7] Meles became head of the political cadre school.[7]
The first three years of its existence were marked by a constant struggle for survival, unstable cooperation with the Eritrean forces, and power struggles against the other Tigrayan fronts: in 1975 the TPLF liquidated the TLF, in 1976-78 it fought back the Ethiopian Democratic Union (EDU) in Shire and in 1978 it fought the Ethiopian Peoples' Revolutionary Party (EPRP) in eastern Tigray. Besides this the Front had to suffer heavy losses due to the Derg's offensives in the region.[18]
Although the TPLF, the ELF and the EPLF co-operated during the Derg offensives of 1976 and 1978 in Tigray and Eritrea, no stable alliance was formed. The ELF resented the liquidation of the TLF and viewed the relations between the EPLF and the TPLF as a serious threat. Since 1977 the ELF and the TPLF had conflicts over the issue of Eritrean settlers in western Tigray, who were organized under the ELF and rejected the TPLF-land reform.[18]
Relations with the EPLF also did not develop smoothly. Its material support was much less than the TPLF expected. Politically the EPLF preferred the multi-national EPRP to the ethno-regionalist TPLF with its then separatist agenda.[18]
Following the Derg's victory in the Ogaden War in February 1978, Mengestu Haile Mariam's new alliance with the Soviets and the revolutionary growth of his armed forces, the TPLF momentum seemed to slow.[19]
In February 1979 the TPLF held its first regular congress. It declared its struggle to be the second wäyyanä (kalay wäyyanä) and changed its Tigrinya name to Həzbayawi Wäyyanä Harənnätä Təgray. It adopted a new political program calling for self-determination within a democratic Ethiopia with independence as an option only if unity proved to be impossible.[20]
In retrospect, it is apparent that the 1978–1985 period further strengthened the TPLF. The Derg's increasingly alienating intervention, the Front's handling of the famine and of the refugee problems, as well as the foreign connections it built through its mission in Khartoum, all enabled the movement to mobilize and better equip more fighters and prepare for a change from guerrilla to frontal battles. Also, in the mid-1980s, developments within the TPLF led to a conceptual change from a struggle for the liberation of Tigray to that of all of Ethiopia.[21] They established their headquarters in caves in Addi Geza'iti, some 50 kilometres west of Mekelle.[22] The allied EPDM party used caves in Melfa (Dogu'a Tembien).
The TPLF succeeded in turning the catastrophic famine 1984–85 to its overall advantage. In early 1985 it organized a march of over 200,000 famine victims from Tigray to Sudan to draw international attention to the plight of Tigray. Its humanitarian branch, the Relief Society of Tigray (REST), established in 1978, received large amounts of international humanitarian aid for famine victims and small-scale development projects in liberated Tigray.[21]
In July 1985, a congress of a few hundred selected cadres established the Marxist-Leninist League of Tigray (MLLT). The MLLT was conceived to be the nucleus of the future Marxist-Leninst vanguard part for the whole of Ethiopia. The MLLT invited the genuine revolutionaries within the ranks of Derg regime, which was then busy organizing its own communist party, the Ethiopian Workers' Party, to join it.[16]
After the congress, the TPLF and its mass organizations were ruthlessly brought under the control of the MLLT, dissenting cadres among them TPLF-co-founders Gidey and Berhu, were purged.
In December 1988, the TPLF and Ethiopian People's Democratic Movement (EPDM, a TPLF-loyal splinter group from the EPRP, founded in 1980) founded the EPRDF as the nucleus of the envisaged United Democratic Front. In spring 1989 first the MLLT and then the TPLF held a congress. Abbay was elected Chairman of both but towards the end of 1989 Meles became the chairman of both organizations. In May 1989 the EPDM established the Ethiopian Marxist-Leninist Force (EMLF). In July 1989 MLLT and EMLF created the Union of Ethiopian Proletarian Organizations. In April 1990 the TPLF formed the Ethiopian Democratic Officers Movement from politically re-educated captured Ethiopian officers to undercut the Free Officers Movement formed in 1987 by exiled Ethiopian officers in opposition to the Derg.[23] In May 1990 Oromo-members of the EPDM and politically re-educated Oromo-Prisoners-of-War founded the Oromo People's Democratic Organization (OPDO) to deny the Oromo Liberation Front the claim to be the exclusive representative of the Ethiopian Oromo.[9] In November 1990 an Oromo Marxist-Leninist Movement was established within the OPDO. Also in 1990 the TPLF created the Afar Democratic Union to undercut the Afar movements. Before 1985 it had already helped to establish liberation fronts in Gambella and Benshangul.
In early 1988, both the EPLF and the TPLF went on the offensive. The developing situation in both Eritrea and Tigray but also the shifting international context after the demise of the Soviet bloc induced the TPLF and EPLF to put their differences aside and to resume military cooperation. In 1989 the EPRDF formed a shadow government of Ethiopia administering the liberated areas under its control.[10]
Reflecting the changed international context after the demise of Soviet communism by 1990 the TPLF internationally avoided references to Marxism-Leninism. In February 1991 the EPRDF launched its offensive against the PDRE regime assisted by a large EPLF contingent. On 28 May 1991, the EPRDF entered Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, and assumed control of Ethiopia. In July 1991, the EPRDF established the Transitional Government of Ethiopia.[24]
In May 1991, the TPLF had 80,000 fighters, the EPDM 8,000 and the OPDO 2,000. The total number of TPLF-members was well beyond 100,000.[7]
Reacting to the international political context after the demise of the Soviet Union the EPRDF/TPLF dropped all Marxist references in its political discourse, adopted a program of change based on multi-party politics, constitutional democracy, ethno-linguistic federalization and a mixed economy.[7] However, Ethiopia remains as a one-party dominant state.
In opposition: 2018–present[edit]
In November 2019, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed and Ethiopian People's Revolutionary Democratic Front Chairman unified the constituent parties of the coalition into a new Prosperity Party. The TPLF viewed this merger as illegal and did not participate in the merger.[25]
In September 2020, the TPLF asked the National Election Board of Ethiopia to help Tigray set up regional elections, after Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed canceled elections due to COVID-19. After the board determined that their request was denied, the TPLF worked with opposition parties in Tigray to set up its own election board to oversee their regional elections.[26] The election was open to international observers and 2.7 million people participated in the election. Prime Minister Ahmed has publicly stated that the federal government will not recognize the results of the election and has banned foreign journalists from traveling to Tigray to document the elections.[27]

For many years, the standard measurement of a pet's age was 7 years for every one year of life. In other words, a 2-year-old dog was thought to be 14 in "human years." This is no longer the case.
Research has shown that cats age more slowly than dogs, and that even among dogs there are differences. For instance, large breeds tend to age faster and have shorter life spans than toy breeds. (When speaking in terms of averages, however, it is important to remember that there will always be pets that exceed the standard and those that fall short.)
One of our favorite gadgets at the vet clinic is a chart which shows equivalent ages for cats and small, medium, and large dogs. Be sure to ask about the chart on your next visit, if you'd like to find out how old your pet is in "human years."
Check out these examples, using the guide for cats, small dogs (1-25 lbs), medium dogs (26-55 lbs) and large dogs (56 lbs and over.)
For the first example, assume the pet is two years old:
- The cat is 22 human-years old (HYO).
- The small dog is 26 HYO.
- The medium dog is 25 HYO.
- The large dog is 21 HYO.
Now consider these pets at 7 years old:
- The cat is 45 human-years-old (HYO).
- The small dog is 49 HYO.
- The medium dog is 58 HYO.
- The large dog is 65 HYO.
Finally, look at those same pets at 11 years old:
- The cat is 59 human-years-old (HYO).
- The small dog is 65 HYO.
- The medium dog is 77 HYO.
- The large dog 99 HYO.
In general, all dogs and cats match the 7-for-1 measurement in the first year of life; afterwards, the aging process differs for each pet according to size. If you're curious about your pet's "human age," ask us to check the chart. It could explain a lot! ~~ Jen

Date Published: February 1, 2017
Publisher: Limitless Publishing
A motorcycle crash forces Skyler Smith into Laney Pearson's hospital, barely clinging to life…
As a trauma nurse, Laney works with surgeon Josh Stone to bring Skyler back from the brink of death and toward recovery. But what initially looks like nothing more than a freak accident may turn out to be much more dangerous—and maybe even deadly.
In the years they've worked together, Laney has never given Josh the time of day…
She thinks he's nothing more than a pompous doctor looking for another notch to add to his belt. But caring for Skyler brings the pair closer, and Laney lets down her guard, allowing them the chance to find happiness together in the midst of so much destruction. But someone doesn't want them to be happy. Someone wants Laney gone.
Threats might derail their love before it really starts…
As the couple tries to build their budding relationship, Laney begins to receive menacing messages. And when she and Josh learn that Skyler's accident is anything but unintentional, they fight to balance finding the would-be killer with keeping keep Laney safe from her stalker. But each wild turn takes them further away from the truth…and each other.
Can Laney and Josh discover who is behind the violent acts, or is each guess they make nothing more than a shot in the dark?
This was it. This event could change his life forever. This was the first day of the rest of his life. Skyler Smith had the helmet strapped on and his bike ready to go. He approached the starting line, knowing he had to land each jump perfectly and ride as he had never ridden before in order to get the sponsorship that would finally turn him into a professional motocrosser. Despite his nerves, he was calm and confident he would do well.
Skyler took in the terrain, the desert landscape that surrounded the track and the brown rocky hills in the background. It was a scorching day, about ninety-eight degrees, but it felt relatively mild, considering it was the middle of summer. He had certainly ridden in much worse conditions. There were other bikers who looked amped up. Many were doing last-minute checks on their bikes and revving the engines. Some were high-fiving people from their team as well as other riders they had developed friendships with. It always amazed him how differently people responded to the stress. Some were happy and carefree while others were nervous and puking on the sidelines. Skyler was always focused and rarely interacted with others as he was getting ready.
He competed in several events throughout the state and was set to race in the upcoming state championships with other professional riders. This day was different. Skyler had a sponsor who was ready to sign him if he had a perfect run on this course. He would finally be able to start bringing in money, so his mom didn't have to work so hard. She had struggled for too many years to make ends meet. He wanted to take care of her for a change. And really, what seventeen-year-old kid wouldn't want to be a professional freestyle motocrosser?
It was his turn to go. Skyler got the green light and he took off, ready to show the world he was the best and deserved this sponsorship. The vibration from the engine reverberated through the handlebars. The heat emanating from the bike warmed his entire body, releasing his endorphins.
The roar of the crowd and the intensity in the air only amped him up more. Remaining focused, he raced down the track with sheer determination and adrenaline pumping. He had the course memorized since he had ridden it many times and knew how to take each turn and when to take off on the jumps. There was no chance for failure.
Halfway around the course, and he had landed everything perfectly. The crowd was cheering. He caught a glimpse of the joy radiating from his mother's face as he rounded the last turn. The big jump was coming up. He had a new trick he was going to perform that would wow the crowd and make his mom proud.
He'd been working on a hands-free back flip. He had never tried it in a competition but had been working diligently at perfecting it, and he had been successful his last five attempts. By landing this trick, he would secure the sponsorship. The jump was approaching quickly and he revved up the motor to get up to the necessary speed to perform the trick.
As he got to the base of the jump, Skyler noticed the front wheel was wobbling. His first instinct was to panic, but instead he took a deep breath and counted to five to calm himself. All he had to do was make this jump. He could do it. There wasn't a chance he was going to miss it.
But doubt filled his mind as the wheel became persistently looser. This is bad. Maybe I shouldn't do this jump. This could end bad. Man, you have to do this jump. This is what you've been preparing for.
As he went up the jump and started the flip, the front tire fell off midair. A moment of panic surged through him and he continued on, not knowing what else to do as he tried to turn his bike around and land on the back tire.
The surprise of the tire falling off destroyed his timing. Instead, he hit the ground with the bike falling on top of him, and that was all he knew.

A different way
The only way I know to find the limiting reagent is to do the picket fences and see how much of the product is produced from each separate reactant. However, it does get kind of confusing. Is there any other way to find the limiting reagent that is more straight forward/ easier?

I would say that's the most efficient and clearest way to do limiting reactant problems for this class.

Re: A different way
I also believe that is the most straight forward way. I think a good way to help you process limiting reagent problems is to list what you're given and what you're trying to find. Then compare to see which reactant produces the least amount of product which means that specific reactant is what's limiting the reaction from going into completion.

Re: A different way
If given the grams of reactants, you can technically convert each reactant to moles and then convert one of the reactants to moles of the other reactant and use the coefficients in the chemical equation to determine the limiting reactant. So for instance, if you have 2H2 + O2 --> 2H2O and you find that you have 3 moles of H2 and 1 mole of O2, you'd use the equation and determine that the O2 was the limiting reagent because the molar ratio in the chemical equation is 2 mole of H2 to 1 mole of O2. I don't know if that's easier necessarily, but it is technically another way that you could calculate limiting reagents.

Re: A different way
That is probably the most efficient way because limiting reactant problems often ask for the theoretical yield of the product.

Re: A different way
This method is very efficient, but you can also compare the moles of the reactant and then use the ratio to compare limiting reactants.

Re: A different way
Also remember to always look at molar ratios when looking for the limiting reactant. This is a common mistake.

Re: A different way
I think this is the best way to do it since many problems ask you how much product will be formed anyway, so you're essentially answering that question while you determine the limiting reactant. Just convert moles of each reactant to moles of the product you'll be looking for.

Below is a summary for the article : Many Vietnam vets unaware of compensation available for exposure to Agent Orange, advocates say by Daily Hampshire Gazette
Thanks to the Agent Orange Act of 1991 passed by Congress, if a veteran spent even one day on the ground in Vietnam between Jan. 9, 1962 and May 7, 1975, he or she may be eligible for benefits related to Agent Orange-related illnesses.
Some 3 million men and women served the U.S. military in Southeast Asia, and no one is sure exactly how many were exposed to the herbicide, according to Vietnam Veterans of America.
Funds are distributed depending on the severity of a veteran's illness.
Someone with a controlled case of diabetes might receive no money, but a veteran who loses mobility due to nerve damage caused by diabetes could get about $3,000 per month, which is at the top of the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs' range for disability payments, said Timothy Niejadlik, the director of the Upper Pioneer Valley Veterans' Services District in Greenfield.
Benefits also are calculated according to a veteran's dependents.
The Upper Pioneer Valley Veterans' Services, a resource center on Main Street in Greenfield, will hold a town hall meeting open to all veterans throughout New England Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. at Greenfield Community College.
To apply for benefits, veterans can fill out an application on the VA's website and must submit supporting evidence from their doctors.
Another Vietnam veteran John "Rob" Riggan, 73, of Buckland, who was diagnosed five years ago with prostate cancer, never had made the connection to his military service until he saw the Upper Pioneer Valley Veterans' Services District flier on the wall at the post office in Shelburne Falls.
Since cases sometimes get backed up at the VA, some veterans find that it can take a long time to get a response, said Niejadlik, but they should be persistent.
"Even if the veterans have passed, even the spouse should come in because they could get a nugget," he said.
