Pa nin (Tilapia nilotica) is a good fish for culture. It breeds in ponds and feeds voraciously on most of the natural food (plankton, bottom biota, vegetation etc.) present in ponds prefers vegetable food; it grows fast and its meat is tasty.
Pa nin may appear to be an easy fish for culture, but not so. It needs good care, if you want good growth of fish and high production. Normally, pa nin starts breeding even when 3 months old at a size of about 8 cm onwards. Within a few months of culture, the pond gets full with small fishes and later due to overpopulation, the growth of fish is slow and the fish farmer gets very little or no profit.
To produce a good crop, quality seed of pa nin is required. So it is important to select good, large, healthy male and female brood fish for the purpose. The male fish grows faster and is larger in size than the female. The adult male is more brightly coloured than the female ( Fig. 1 ). However, a male can easily be distinguished from the female by its more prominent urino-genital papilla - a finger-like structure situated below the anus. The male has only one urino-genital opening at the tip of the papilla whereas, the female possesses two openings-the one in the centre is the genital pore through which eggs are released while the terminal one is urinary opening ( Fig. 2 ). The male fish makes saucershaped nests on the pond bottom wherein the female fish lays eggs. The eggs are immediately fertilized by the male and the female picks up the fertilized eggs in her mouth where the eggs hatch out. A female may lay eggs at an interval of 1½ to 2 months at suitable water temperatures.
Method of Pa Nin Culture
When you start pa nin culture, make sure that you are growing pa nin (Tilapia nilotica) and not the inferior species pa mothet (Tilapia mossambica). So it is important to know the main differences between the two species. To distinguish pa nin from pa mothet just examine the tail of each species. Pa nin is easily distinguished by the vertical white stripes in the caudal fin ( tail ), which are absent in pa mothet ( Fig. 3 ).
For pa nin culture, preferably select small - sized seasonal ponds or those ponds which cannot be used for culture of big fishes like Asiatic carps, etc. In case larger perennial ponds are used for pa nin culture, all the fishes already present in the pond may be removed by dewatering, thorough netting or using any suitable fish poison.
Put lime in the pond at the rate of 200 kg / ha.
One week after lime application, apply fresh pig or cowdung (at the rate of 5,000 kg/ha) or poultry droppings (at 300 kg/ha) initially.
Two weeks after manuring, stock the ponds with small pa nin, at the rate of 15,000–20,000 fry (20–25mm) or 8,000–10,000 fingerlings (35–40mm) per hectare.
After about 2 to 3 months of culture, when pa nin grow quite big, stock pa thong (Notopterus chitala) at the rate of 100–200/ha (average weight 60–100g) in the pond. Pa thong, a minor predator, will control the population of pa nin by eating the small pa nin produced as a result of natural breeding. Pa thong which has a big body but a small mouth checks overpopulation of small pa nin in the pond. The fry which escape predation grow faster and reach the marketable size (Fig. 4). However, when pa thong is not available, the overpopulation of small panin can be kept under check by regular netting and removal of small-sized fish. These fry, early fingerlings could be sold to other farmers. If small size pa nin are not removed regularly, the pond will soon get overpopulated and the fry will get stunted resulting in poor production (Fig. 5).
Regularly harvest the large market-size pa nin (about 100–150g) and replace number by fingerlings, thus maintaining about 8,000–10,000 pa nin fingerlings / ha in the pond. However, go on manuring the pond at regular intervals and feeding the fish with your kitchen and garden refuse and locally available cheap feed like rice bran, oil-cake, etc.
If you can construct a poultry shed or pigsty hanging over the water surface from pond margin, you can save money and effort to a considerable extent in manuring the pond and feeding pa nin, thus integrate pa nin-cum-poultry/pig culture for your homestead pond.
You will be happy to harvest from your pond a regular crop of large tasty pa nin a high quality protein to eat and a good income by selling the surplus fish.

When my husband and I first met we did not live in the same town. In fact, in we didn't even live in the same state. I lived in Georgia and he lived in New York.
We met while I was in New York City attending a design conference. My last night in town, I met up with a college friend. She had a friend, who had a friend . . . It was nice meeting him that evening, however, it wasn't until a few months later that we "got together."
It started out with a few phone calls here and there, and eventually we found ourselves talking everyday. We would email during the day and talk on the phone for hours at night, just getting to know one another. Luckily I was able to visit him often because my roommate worked for an airline at the time and I was able to fly standby for free. Many Fridays after work I drove straight to the airport and flew to NYC, then returned on the last flight back to Atlanta on Sunday night.
While it was tough to not see each other a frequently as we would have liked, there were many advantages dating my husband long distance.
Every minute together counted.
When we visited each other, we went to nice dinners, baseball games, museums, and other touristy things. We were intentional about time spent together. Since time together was at a premium, we didn't take it for granted.
We consistently engaged one another in meaningful conversation.
This was back in the day when long distance phone calls were more expensive than local ones. Even though we mostly called each other in the evening, when it was cheaper, we didn't have money to waste. We shared our opinions openly on a variety of different topics. We asked spent hours on the phone exploring the answers to questions such as:
What do you believe about…everything?
How important is corporate worship? Other participation in church life?
What are the expectations for togetherness?
What's your thought on money in general? How much to give to the church?
Every step in the relationship was intentional.
In previous relationships, I'd find myself spending far too much time with someone I had no intention of marrying. I was having fun and dating was something to do. With my husband, however, there was more at stake in a long-distance relationship, like time, resources, and emotions that I didn't want to squander. I sought God and made very prayerful decisions about the money I had to spend to maintain the relationship, when to become exclusive, and whether I should move.
Eventually the prospect of signing a new lease with my roommates and a job offer prompted us to take the next step in our relationship. After only five months of dating I moved to NYC. Five months after that we were engaged. Eight months later we were married.
It may seem like a whirlwind relationship, but we were very thoughtful about every step we made together. The foundation we established in the months apart made it worth the wait.
As you seek to counsel your son or daughter or the ones you mentor when it comes to this matter of dating and a long-distant relationship, we hope that this story opens the door to communicating about the pros and cons of such an investment.

Declared a protected area in 1992, "Gabbara" is the wooded area that "Italia Nostra" and WWF report as protected areas because they have vast and extensive areas of eucalyptus and free of undergrowth and in areas with predominantly oaks and oak woods, with undergrowth richer.
The wooded area of Mustigarufi, became a protected area in 1992 by the will of WWF Italy Nostra together with that of Gabbara. In addition to vast areas in eucalyptus, very extensive and free of undergrowth, there are also oak woods with rich undergrowth.
Built after the first half of 1600 and rebuilt in the first half of 700, the church of St. Joseph in San Cataldo was seriously damaged by a landslide, but later, in the nineteenth century was restored and refurbished; and further on enlarged by Isidoro Amico.
The archaeological site of Vassallaggi is located in a territory in the middle valley of the Salso, at 704 m above sea level, located east of San Cataldo, just over 5 km away and articulates on five hills, from which the view extends along the ancient river Imera South (today Salty river).
The church of the Most Holy Rosary
In the town of San Cataldo, Corso Vittorio Emanuele, is the church of the Most Holy Rosary.
The Mother Church and the Cathedral
The Cathedral was built by the Baron and Marquis of San Cataldo, Vincenzo Galletti, the Mother Church of San Cataldo, is dedicated to the Nativity of Mary.
Besides the architectural beauty related mainly to old churches, in San Cataldo there are three important civic towers, representing a history and a particular geographical location. Video The Civic Towers
The route starts from the Complex of Calvary, entering the protected area of Gabbara, continues across the two equipped areas of Mustigarufi, then leads to the provincial road 160. You can return to San Cataldo following the Provincial Road, as indicated on the map, or back along the same route.
The route starts in San Cataldo and ends at the archaeological site of Vassallaggi, and extends for 5.3 km.

Server:Emerald Dream US
This article is an information page for the Emerald Dream realm (server)
The contents herein are entirely player made and in no way represent official World of Warcraft history or occurrences which are accurate for all realms. The information and events listed are of an independent nature and applied for roleplaying, fictional, speculative, or opinions from a limited playerbase only.
|Shadowburn (US) »
† Brazilian servers
The Emerald Dream server ("ED") is the largest Role-play – Player vs. Player (RPPvP) realm on the planet. It opened in September 2005 as one of three pioneering servers to combine role-play with a PvP rule set, and as of July 2016 is the only freestanding RPPvP realm left in any region of the world to have not since become a connected realm with other similar but smaller servers.
ED is by far the most successful RP realm globally at both PvP (#8 US[1]) and PvE progression (#24 US[2]) as of the conclusion of Warlords of Draenor. ED additionally has the most balanced Alliance-to-Horde player ratio of any major North American realm with its 54/46 ratio closely approximating the overall ratio of players in the game generally on all realms combined. Thanks in part to this lasting balance it has, for many years, been known as one of only a handful of leading US realms for World PvP action.
RP-PvP servers were opened at subscribers' request. Prior to the opening of this type, players had to choose between Role-play PvE servers or straight PvP servers, often splitting time between realm types to satisfy both areas of interest. The Emerald Dream moniker is a reference to the idyllic natural paradise and alternate reality as envisioned and created by the dragon Ysera and thus has strong druidic connotations.
The players
Perhaps due to the original limited release of the realm type, the Emerald Dream server has attracted, and continues to attract, players from well outside its local time zone (or the United States for that matter). Due to its widespread success with RP, PvP rankings, PvE progression, and World PvP events, the realm tends to attract a special type of player who might be active in three or four of these aspects of the game. Many other realms specialize in only one or two of these.
The denizens of the server are referred to as "Emerald Dreamers", "Dreamers", or simply and more commonly "EDers".
Role-Playing Community & The Gazette
Emerald Dream has a very diverse role-playing community. Roughly half of the role-players are a part of the RP guilds. The other half are either unguilded or members of non-RP guilds. It may be discouraging for new players looking to fall into a role-playing environment on Emerald Dream. There are very few, if any, "hotspots" that people can expect to always find role-playing happening, but there is much more spontaneous role-play opportunities. On occasion, one of the several role-play guilds will publicly announce and hold an event for all to join, but much more often a player will simple stumble onto a meeting out in the world.
The Emerald Dream role-playing community has seen many ups and downs over the years but continues to be a solid part of the server. Of course there are varying degrees of involvement amongst the community; some players role-play all the time, while others will rarely partake and different styles of role-playing exist here as well. The most essential trait a new player can have is that of an open mind.
The Emerald Dream Gazette was created to help foster the already existing server community, with the major focus being the role-playing community. The Gazette offers more organization than the official Realm Forums and allows for stories, biographies and events to get more attention. Guilds can also enjoy a better system of listing themselves among the many guilds on Emerald Dream. The most important goal is to offer a more mature and focused place for discussion.
Realm forum
Supplemental to in-game activity, the Emerald Dream Realm Forum also enjoys lively participation and is often viewed as an extension of the game if not a game unto itself.
Due to a mix of interests, creativity, and strong personalities, the forum is a volatile brew of smack talk, game mechanic discussion, mindless banter, playing tips, laments, citations of good play, jibes, song and movie quotes, jingoism, bon mots, insults, role play and creative writing.
Naturally, with a server emphasis on role play, the more popular posts tend to be of the role playing and creative writing ilk. Styles and subject matter range considerably from complete game inspired fantasy fiction, to role play re-tellings of in-game events, to satiric interpretations of real life expressed in game terms.

Back again for more Facebook conversations with thought and opinion. This time we're talking about why it shouldn't be unreasonable to only work 40 hours in a standard work week. Someone decided to disagree, but didn't give a good reason beyond "that's just the way it is". Read on for yourself...
Is it unreasonable for me to want to work a standard 40-hour week as a lead/senior software engineer, by default? Obviously exceptions for outages and emergencies apply...
I would say those are two slightly different points.
A senior software engineer, in my experience, is primarily expected to write better code the first time rather than require more time and/or more iterations to get it right. They can also mentor less experienced programmers, but aren't necessarily a lead.
A lead, on the other hand, is expected to be more of a people person, has explicit control over how the project is done, and is expected to keep track of everyone on their team, including pushing them in the right direction to do things right.
To your point I would say it's not unreasonable to expect a standard 40 hour work week as a lead, and especially not as a senior software engineer. In fact, I would go further by saying anyone who has to work more than 40 hours a week needs to re-evaluate their role: either they're expected too much of, they have a terrible team (bad programmers and/or won't listen), or they're being inefficient about how they do their job (micromanaging, watching over everyone's shoulders all the time, ambiguous rules or guidelines, etc).
Companies that expect more hours out of higher level employees are fundamentally screwed up.
You are making a lot of assumptions there Zimzat.
Well don't just leave me hanging, tell me what you mean. Let's have a conversation about this. Why do you say that?
As a senior or lead software engineer, you have a lot more on your plate. That is just part of the job. In addition to the responsibilities you listed, you also attend a lot of meetings, answer a lot of emails, interview candidates, and...yes...you still need to write code and design new systems. Unless you are super human, more hours are pretty much a necessity.
The critical question I want to get at is why are you expected to fill two roles in the same amount of time as one? I would hope the reason you get promoted or hired to the role is because you're trusted with the new responsibilities, and not just so they can get more out of you for the same amount.
Not every programmer should become a lead, because not everyone has the skill set or desire to be one. But any programmer worth their salt who becomes a lead should already know the mantra of "Work smarter, not harder". I call into question the need for all those meetings, why there are so many emails, and why it takes so long to interview candidates.
I've done interviews, both phone and in person. I developed a system of interviewing candidates such that I got to the meat of the question and figured out very quickly if they were any good at all. Most of them I wouldn't have even given a phone interview to because their resume was terrible or off topic, but I wasn't the one who scheduled the phone interviews or screened the resumes. All I could do is stop them from taking any more of my time than absolutely necessary, and keep them from taking up everyone's time with an in-person interview.
Meetings are, more often than not, entirely unnecessary. One a week or a much shorter one every day just to give status has, in my experience, been sufficient. The longer meetings were often called at the behest of managers and wasted everyone's time going over things that not everyone needed or even wanted to know. It was also very obvious when someone called a meeting just because they didn't want to do their job.
As for emails, why are there so many emails? Sometimes a 5-15 minute one-on-one conversation at their desk saves everyone an hour of writing and reading a dozen emails back and forth. There could be half a dozen more things that can be done, too.
If you have a developer putting in 60 hour work weeks, you need 2 developers. Period.
Russell, why would anybody take a lead or senior position for the "same amount"? Those positions usually come with a hefty pay increase.
Franklin, I said two roles for the same amount of _time_ as one, not money. The reason you get more money is because you have more critical or sensitive responsibilities (although even that I call into some question, although not nearly as much). You seem to be equating salary back to an hourly amount, so 75k/year = 36$/hr, 100k/year = 48$/hr, so by your math the person who makes 100k/year has to put in 53hrs/week over the person who makes 75k/year and only works 40hrs/week. I don't agree with that.
I never said or implied that.
Zimzat, if you take a lead position, you should expect to work some extra hours. Should it be a constant 50 or 60 hours a week? No. Should there be times when you work a standard 40 hours? Sure. But should it be expected that you will only work more than a standard 40 if there is an emergency? Probably not. That's all i am saying. If you want to be paid for every hour you work, you may want to work as a contractor.
You haven't given any solid reason why this should be expected beyond "that's just the way it is". I think we'll simply have to agree to disagree, then.
I understand crunches and extreme circumstances. What I don't like is when a 50-hour week is the norm. It shouldn't be.
then quit. it's not like there isn't still a massive developer shortage.
Another option is to be the change you want to see. Try to talk with them about workload, expectations, etc. Only accept or agree to work that you think you can get done in a 40 hour week. Be explicit that something won't get done until the next week, and then ask which item on your plate is more important. And stick to your guns, only work 40 hours and then go home. If they're really going to be sticklers about 50 hours a week, one way or another, then they can fire you.

The music program at St. Luke's is probably the most visible – not to mention audible – aspect of life in the parish. Music has long been a strength at St. Luke's, and our current music program maintains the tradition of the stellar music programs that came before.
The congregation of St. Luke's now has a well-earned reputation for singing. This may be one of the few small parishes where the congregation routinely sings in four-part harmony, and the sopranos in the congregation are always game for trying the descants that are printed in The Hymnal 1982, the primary source of congregational music. There are usually four hymns in the morning worship as well as the service music: the Gloria in Excelsis (or Kyrie Eleison), the Sanctus and Benedictus, and the Agnus Dei. The congregation knows five settings of the service music, which are sung in rotation throughout the liturgical year. And on certain occasions, the congregation even sings a couple of the canticles in Anglican chant.
The St. Luke's Choir is composed of four professional staff singers and seven (as of this writing) volunteers from the parish. The choir has built up a large repertory of music from plainsong through the 21st Century although, as we like to say, we are especially fond of Renaissance, Baroque, and anything from The Oxford Book of Carols. Whenever possible, our music is tied to the liturgical year and the Biblical lessons assigned to the day. It takes a lot of work to make a choir sound this good, and it all starts with the 9:00 warm-up on Sunday morning. Because of the daunting traffic surrounding Monrovia, the choir stopped holding Thursday night practices and now rehearses on Sunday after church.
The St. Luke's Choir sings every Sunday morning from September through May, except for two Sundays off which are covered by soloists. During the summer, volunteers from the choir and other guest musicians often lead the services. The choir also sings the service on Christmas Eve, Ash Wednesday, and Maundy Thursday.
The pipe organ (affectionately known as Lucille) installed in 1967, is a very fine Bascom & Vaughan three-manual organ with 42 ranks and a separate antiphonal division. Many years ago, St. Luke's had acoustical batting on the ceiling and a heavy carpet down the center aisle. When these were removed, the church was left with an organ that sounded entirely too loud and raucous. Manuel Rosales and crew reworked the organ pipes to suit the building. The result is an organ that is our pride and joy and acoustics that are second to none.
The piano is our newest – and oldest – acquisition, and we couldn't be happier about it. It is an 1889 Steinway Model A, and it had been thoroughly rebuilt before being offered at auction. We were able to pay the selling price with funds raised by the choir through Dinner & A Show; donors from the parish paid for the taxes, costs, and accessories. The piano has a wonderfully even touch and an exceptional sound. We are looking forward to using it to expand our musical offerings at St. Luke's.
Evensong, an afternoon service that is mostly music and is a particular favorite of Episcopalians, was re-introduced to St. Luke's when Kent Jones became music director in 2004. The language is mostly taken from the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, although the settings of the music range from medieval to modern. We maintain a large e-mailing list of friends of the parish who cannot be here on Sunday mornings but do not want to miss Evensong. Similarly, we often have guest singers who cannot be here on Sunday mornings but enjoy joining the choir for these services, which are usually held on the third Sunday of the month in October, January, March, and May. Evensong is always followed by a wine and cheese reception in Guild Hall, and we do love a good reception.
When St. Luke's revived Evensong in 2004, it was alone among the smaller parishes in the area in doing so. Since then, other churches in and around the San Gabriel Valley have asked for our guidance and have started singing Evensong themselves. Sometimes two parishes have gotten together to combine forces to make this happen for the first time. This is one kind of outreach that we have particularly enjoyed.
Evensong Invitationals are possibly unique to St. Luke's and have become the services for which we are best known in the Diocese. In the fall of 2004, there were five singers in the St. Luke's Choir, and Kent Jones had just started directing. The Vestry was hoping to do something special for St. Luke's Day on October 18. Mr. Jones, a veteran of many years of Evensongs, invited a few tenors and basses from other choirs to join the two men in the St. Luke's Choir for the very first Men's Evensong Invitational. The event has grown considerably since then, and now the singers represent parishes from all over the Diocese – and beyond. The idea was to put together a choir of men who are mostly coming from smaller churches that do not have the resources on their own to have a choir of tenors and basses. After the Fourth Annual Men's Evensong for St. Luke's Day, the women of the St. Luke's Choir demanded equal time, and so began the Women's Evensong Invitational in Lent, which has become an annual event and has many guest singers from nearby parishes who want to come back year after year.
The music program at St. Luke's is decidedly ambitious for a parish of this size. We have been blessed with an excellent pipe organ, a massive music library, a choir of fine musicians who have a genuine camaraderie, and world-class acoustics. We also have a congregation that appreciates the work the choir does and has a taste for excellence in music.
Other Music Offerings: Our wonderful acoustics have made the Parish of St. Luke a highly desired venue for various music performances. The San Gabriel Valley Choral Company, makes St. Luke's its home venue for a series of concerts throughout the year. High F'lutin, a flute ensemble, also presents periodic concerts in our sanctuary. In recent years, we have also made our space available for a variety of recitals done by students and faculty of Azusa Pacific University.

Acronis True Image 2012 for $19.95. That includes the Plus Pack and a Second Copy for Free
Here's a deal I pretty much couldn't refuse. For $19.95 you get two copies of True Image 2012, the Plus Pack and a free upgrade to True Image 2013 when it comes out. I assume that will be the end of the months since that's when the deal ends. There is a deal out there right now where you can get this same bundle for $29.95, but this is the same deal for an additional $10 off.
Considering the hard drive issues I've had recently, getting a true backup of all my data seems like a good idea. I've also been messing around with O&O DiskImage 6, and while that's a decent app, it's not really as feature rich as it should be and it's too kludgey to build a boot disk for it. In fact, you can't build a boot disk for it, you can only get one from O&O. It's not bad, it just could be better.
The deal ends August 22, so if you're looking to make a backup of your entire drive, want to clone your machine into a VM, or you're looking to do some serious upgrades/patching and want a safety net, this should help you out.

Curse you power management!!
Ok, help me understand something. When I go into Control Panel and set the Power Options so that my machine is Always On and to use as much power as possible to keep my machine running at full speed with my drives always spinning and my monitor always on, why do my network cards still go to sleep? And further more, who in the hell decided putting a network card to sleep was a way to save energy? Seriously, in the grand scheme of things, what the hell is that accomplishing?
I kept noticing my Windows 7 machine would drop network connections. I set it to be on full power all the time. When I forced it to connect to a website, everything would "wake up" and all would be well again. Seems the network cards (Wifi and LAN) have a Power Management tab of their own and I had to disable the option of them going to sleep. What the devil? That's an annoying design to say the least. Why aren't the two related? If I turn off one, it should turn off the others. And why sleep a network card? Do they really draw enough power to make a difference? And dammit, this is my desktop, I don't want it going to sleep ever!
I'll just add this to the list of annoyances I have against Windows 7.

10 minutes to cook a filling meal
It's cheap, easy and cooks in 10 minutes – who could be without pasta? Another great virtue is that it makes the best use of even the smallest of crops.
Pasta with salmon, artichokes & pea shoots
This one was assembled from New Year leftovers and pea shoots that were in the conservatory – the artichokes were on offer at Lidl.
- Smoked salmon (leftovers or off-cuts)
- Sour cream and chive dip (or any similar party leftover; Caesar salad dressing works well)
- 1 jar grilled antipasti artichokes in olive oil, drained (optional)
- 1 seed tray of 3″-4″ high pea shoots, freshly cut (or 4oz cooked frozen peas)
- Pinch black pepper and lemon pepper
- Pasta
Prepare the sauce ingredients: cut the salmon and artichokes into bite-sized pieces.
Meanwhile, boil water for the pasta and when boiling, cook as per packet instructions – less two minutes.
When the pasta is ready, drain it and put it back into the pan. Then add the other ingredients, except the pea shoots.
On a low heat, warm the dish through until the sauce is hot and the salmon just pink. Make sure the pasta is cooked to your liking (al dente is best). Finally, add the pea shoots just before serving and stir through.
Cold weather pasta with smoky bacon
Hardy standbys, black kale (Cavolo nero) and chard, form the bulk of the autumn/winter crop – and they start to sprout again in spring.
Kale has a strong flavour and is partnered best with equally robust ingredients. As ever, if you don't have the right amounts, use what you have – broccoli or dark cabbage wouldn't go amiss here.
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter
- 8 rashers lean smoky bacon, chopped
- 6 cloves garlic, roasted whole, then crushed
- 200g/8oz button mushrooms, sliced
- 2 bunches kale, stems removed, leaves sliced or torn into pieces
- 1 bunch chard
- Black pepper
- 75g pasta per person
Sauté the bacon in the oil/butter gently until almost crisp, then add garlic and mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until their moisture is released and they're lightly browned.
Prepare chard by removing the leaves from the stems, chopping the stems into bite-sized pieces.
Add your pasta to a pan of boiling water and cook as per packet instructions.
Add the kale, chard stems and pepper to the bacon pan, and sauté for about 8 minutes. Add splashes of water, or stock, if the pan seems dry.
Lastly, add the chard leaves and cook until wilted (less than a couple of minutes). By this time, the kale should be tender.
Drain the pasta and add the bacon/veg sauce to the pasta pan, mix well and serve.
Rocket pesto without a processor
My 1970s food processor bit the dust, leaving me with a sackful of rocket. Who said pesto had to be smooth?
- Rocket, leaves only – remove stems and tough mid-ribs
- 1 bag pine nuts
- Olive oil
- Garlic, either crushed raw, or chopped and pre-roasted
- Fresh Parmesan, Grana Padano or Pecorino Romano cheese, grated
- Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
In an electric mixer, place a thick layer of washed leaves, grated cheese, and pine nuts. Add a slug of olive oil and mix on high. The leaves will be bashed, the cheese creamy and pine nuts probably untouched.
Keep adding other layers until the main ingredients are incorporated. The oil amount is critical. Too much and it will be greasy, too little and it will stick together in a clump.
Once a good consistency, add the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to taste. (I used about 6 cloves and 4 tomatoes, but I like them strong.)
Blanching and freezing kale
Preparing kale is tedious. The ribs are tough – you need to strip the bubbly leaves off them.
Make a small rip either side of the rib, then hold it firmly in one hand, while running the other hand up to the top. This keeps the edible part in one piece.
After thoroughly washing the leaves, blanch them in boiling water until they go limp, then plunge them into a sink full of iced water to stop the cooking process.
When cool, drain off excess water, tightly pack into containers and freeze.
Pasta, kale, and garlic
Use your blanched kale in this quick, Italian-style recipe:
In a tablespoonful of olive oil, gently fry 2-4 sliced garlic cloves, 25g pine kernels (I added a few sliced runner beans as I'd picked them too) and cook until tender. Add blanched kale and heat through.
A good accompaniment to strong meats, or as a pasta sauce with added Parmesan.

Protocol/serial number
Study information
Scientific title
A phase I/IIa dose escalation study of CHR-3996 in combination with tosedostat in subjects with relapsed refractory multiple myeloma
MUK three
Study hypothesis
In vitro and in vivo data suggest histone deacetylases (HDAC) inhibitors have an anti-myeloma effect, however it seems unlikely that this class of drugs will be used in the clinics as monotherapy. Phase I studies demonstrate that both CHR-3996 and tosedostat are safe and tolerable when dosed as monotherapy. In addition, there is a strong preclinical rationale supporting the combination of a HDAC inhibitor and aminopeptidase inhibitor in myeloma.
The purpose of this study is therefore to determine the safety and preliminary activity of CHR-3996 administered in combination with tosedostat in subjects with relapsed, refractory multiple myeloma.

Multiple myeloma
Dose escaltation of CHR-3996 and tosedostat
Intervention type
Phase I/II
Drug names
Primary outcome measure
1. Dose escalation phase:
1.1. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CHR-3996 and tosedostat, administered in combination, in subjects with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
1.2. We define the MTD to be the dose where at least 2/3 or at least 2/6 patients have a DLT. Therefore the dose taken to the expansion phase will be the MTD-1, or dose level 5 if this highest dose level is reached in the dose escalation phase and no MTD is found. This dose, taken forward to the expansion phase, will be called the recommended dose (RD).
2. Dose expansion phase:
To estimate the response rate (stable disease or better) after four cycles of CHR-3996 and tosedostat at the RD identified in the dose escalation phase
Secondary outcome measures
1. To estimate the safety profile of CHR-3996 and tosedostat administered in combination in subjects with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma
2. To estimate maximum response within six cycles of therapy
3. To estimate maximum response to therapy overall
4. To estimate time to maximum response from therapy
5. To estimate progression-free survival
6. To estimate overall survival
7. To determine the number of patients with CHR-3996 or tosedostat dose reductions
8. To assess compliance to therapy until toxicity, intolerance or progression
9. To assess the pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profile of CHR-3996 when administered in combination with tosedostat
Overall trial start date
Overall trial end date

5.6. Serum creatinine <2.0 x ULN
5.7. Corrected calcium <2.8 mmol/L.
6. Anticipated survival of at least 4 months
7. Evaluable disease per modified International Working Group (IWG) criteria, utilising the following assessments as appropriate:
7.1. Measurement of serum monoclonal protein
7.2. Measurement of serum free light chains
7.3. Measurement of urine M protein (Bence Jones protein) (differential creatinine)
7.4. Detection of plasma cells in bone marrow biopsy or aspirate sample
8. Female subjects of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 24 hours prior to starting therapy and agree to use dual methods of contraception for the duration of the study

Part I. Cosmopolis -- Ideals -- Part II. User Guide. Lifeblood -- Violence -- Knowledge -- Journalism -- Diversity -- Religion -- Privacy -- Secrecy -- Icebergs -- Courage -- Challenge.
Never in human history was there such a chance for freedom of expression. If we have Internet access, any one of us can publish almost anything we like and potentially reach an audience of millions. Never was there a time when the evils of unlimited speech flowed so easily across frontiers: violent intimidation, gross violations of privacy, tidal waves of abuse. A pastor burns a Koran in Florida and UN officials die in Afghanistan. Drawing on a lifetime of writing about dictatorships and dissidents, Timothy Garton Ash argues that in this connected world that he calls cosmopolis, the way to combine freedom and diversity is to have more but also better free speech. Across all cultural divides we must strive to agree on how we disagree. He draws on a thirteen-language global online project - freespeechdebate.com -conducted out of Oxford University and devoted to doing just that. With vivid examples, from his personal experience of China's Orwellian censorship apparatus to the controversy around Charlie Hebdo to a very English court case involving food writer Nigella Lawson, he proposes a framework for civilized conflict in a world where we are all becoming neighbors.

Welcome back to the Kids and Kreativity linky party. This is a linky party for all your blog posts that encourage creativity or inspire imagination in children. They can be about anything from baking with kids, messy play ideas, childrens' crafts, book reviews, days out, travel…. you name it! Anything that gets the creative juices flowing, or sparks kids' wonderful imaginations can be linked up.
The last two weeks have been hectic but a lot of fun. We have had a very busy but fantastic half term and managed to squeeze in a little mini break to North Norfolk. We had a great day out at Roarr Dinosaur Adventure whilst we were up there, and got to try out their new Predator high ropes. The kids weren't even a little bit nervous, but I have to say I was a little apprehensive!
Getting ready to try the new Predator high ropes, and these two don't seem a bit nervous! (Mummy might be though!) @roarr_dinosauradventure #blissfuldomestication #familyfun #highropes #newattraction #predatorhighropes #familytime #makingmemories #dinosaurs #roarrsomefun #adventure #dinoadventures #minibreak #northnorfolk #norfolk
I've also been really busy doing wedding crafts as me and James get married in just over 6 weeks time- eek! However, I have managed to do a bit of crafting with the kids, and we made Pipe Cleaner Dragons which they love, and you'll see them in the linky.
We also managed to squeeze in a day at Chessington World of Adventure and took all three children there for a great family day out. I think we may have slightly terrified them on the Vampire ride!
I'd love to hear what you have all been up to in the comments! Now back to the linky…..
The Last #KidsandKreativity Linky
We had a total of 5 posts linked up, which is a little dissapointing, but it's partly my fault for not having as much time to promote the linky. Still, for those of you that did link up, THANK YOU, I appreciate you all!
The benefit of having a smaller number of links ups was that the commenting was spot on!
As a result there was not one top commenter, all three of you were joint top! So for this week only I've decided to feature all three of your posts.
So the first featured post is Set Sail With a Little Pirate Study by The Queen of Collage. There are some lovely pirate themed activities in this post so go and check it out!
Second featured post is about a day out at Weald and Downland Living Museum by Mummy's Waisted. As well as the food festival, and museum itself there was a children's cookery school, such a great idea!
Third featured post is by This Scribbler Mum about her book Little Star and Other Shapes. It's great for little ones, and I love this post because I've always wanted to publish a children's book myself but haven't quite got round to it, yet! Check out the cute video too.
This Week's #KidsandKreativity Linky
This week I am sharing my How to Make Pipe Cleaner Dragons post that I mentioned earlier, and our review of Space Journey subscription box, which Oliver absolutely loved!
If you haven't already please, please, please come and join me over at the Facebook group. It's not very active at the moment due to lack of members, but I would really like to form a community around this linky. Joining does not commit you to linking up each time, and I promise I wont bombard you!
I have also been pinning all the posts to my #KidsandKreativity board on Pinterest, and will continue to do so. So go check it out for some great inspiration and ideas.
For all those linking up for the first time, have a read through the linky information and rules, but if you have any questions just message me.
Linky Information
The linky will open every other Friday at 10.00 am. It will be open for new link ups for a week, until the following Friday. On my bi-weekly linky posts, I will feature my favourite post and the post of the blogger that commented the most from the link up before, and share them on my social media channels.
Please, please, please make sure you finish your commenting by 12 noon on the second Thursday. Please also make sure you add the #KidsandKreativity to your comment, as this helps me keep track of the comments, and make sure everyone is doing the minimum amount of commenting. Please DO NOT link up and run, it's not fair on others, and is not what this linky is about.
This linky party is all about creating a nice community of like minded bloggers, and increasing exposure to blog posts that might inspire people. So feel free to comment away and share posts that you love. The more that you put into the linky, the more that you will get out.

Each box is a unique creation with no two being exactly alike. There are various versions. Some boxes are simply mysterious and hold an enchanting air of mystery. Others are styled around and for Magicians as card boxes or props of magic. Still, some are special creations which instill thoughts of ghosts and mysteries of long ago... certain boxes are layered with centuries old wood acquired from ancient and decrepit houses, which are allegedly haunted.
Many boxes are adorned with artistic images of wonder, some of the images are vintage art from ages long ago, while others are wondrous images rendered by Mr. Peroché himself.
Peroché's boxes are individually made and are only available at limited times or by special commission, to see what is currently available for purchase, select the "Boxes" section.

Here is how to make a great video game featuring licensed characters. Step one: find a great video game. Step two: put characters from We Bare Bears, Steven Universe and Adventure Time in it. That's pretty much how Cartoon Network Match Land was born.
I'm barely exaggerating here. Last year indie developer Race Cat Games released Match Land, a delightful little free-to-play pixel art puzzle RPG that captured my heart with its adorable look, combo-based match-three mechanics and modest microtransactions. It's a charming game that I played daily for most of 2017. According to Chris Waldron, Cartoon Network's vice president of digital products and games, his team was similarly enthralled.
"When Joel Nelson, our developer relations manager, bubbled up the original Match Land to us, everyone within the Cartoon Network digital team immediately fell in love," Waldron told Kotaku. "For months, we referenced the game in almost every meeting we had."
And so Joel Nelson reached out to Race Cat Games, and now Cartoon Network Match Land is coming out March 21 on iOS and Android. There was probably some programming and stuff between the first and second thing, but you get the idea.
Instead of a team of random fantasy characters, players form a team from collectible Cartoon Network characters. Instead of fighting animals, the player's team is tasked with taking down evil edibles. And instead of unlocking a series of fantasy-themed shops that provide materials needed to upgrade characters, here it's food stalls and trucks.
Otherwise, the only major difference between the original Match Land and Cartoon Network Match Land is the new game allows players to move gems diagonally to match, speeding up the combo countdown timer (how long the player has to make another match, continuing the combo) to counterbalance the extra freedom of movement.
I've been playing a test build of the game for a couple of weeks now, and it's like coming home, only this home is filled with talking bears, Crystal Gems and denizens of Ooo. And isn't it nice that Cartoon Network went to the original developer instead of just making their own version? It's a mobile gaming miracle.

Gorgeous SoulAdmin@ | February 6, 2019 | 0 | Beauty
"Wow! Which is beautiful! " This is exactly what we point out or think once we see sunlight rise or perhaps set on the ocean, view a spectacular see, or any good-looking male or female. But might know about ask will be, where can the appreciation of the beauty start? Where can our power to understand beauty result from? It's there, in our personal consciousness.
Ab muscles essence regarding who and that which you are will be beauty. The actual essence regarding beauty can not be found inside the sunrise or perhaps sunset, any face, or even a view. Those simply awaken the particular essence regarding beauty in your own character. It's not merely something we all sense inside of ourselves, nonetheless it emerges inside our character since virtue, and inside our life since care. And what exactly is virtue, in any case, but love doing his thing?
Can attractiveness be defined pertaining to people? I really believe it can easily. There are usually two sorts, actually : physical attractiveness and non secular beauty. Physical attractiveness is summary – most of us want to be able to like that which you see inside our mirror. That sort of beauty are available through plastic cosmetic surgery, cosmetics, clothes etc, if you have the funds. Physical charm is attracting the feelings, but it's really a fake attractiveness, one according to society's " light " standards.
Please don't get me wrong, I do not think there's anything at all wrong with planning to appear and feel our finest. Everyone can something regarding beauty… every person. But that is not true attractiveness. Spiritual beauty does work beauty, because it arises from within the core of someone. When someone features a beautiful heart and soul, their extremely presence may be sensed simply by others.
Spiritual attractiveness comes by means of awareness and also from knowing there exists a higher strength who offers us the particular strength and also confidence we must live the most effective life we could. With that comes peacefulness, confidence, and also inner pleasure. Spiritual attractiveness naturally radiates a great inner gleam that other folks are instinctively attracted to because in addition they sense and will feel the particular awareness and also beauty which is there.
Experience this excellent, spiritually, provides other rewards, as properly. It tends to make us want to manage ourselves and our health and wellness, which, subsequently, is best for our overall appearance. We acquire inner equilibrium by realizing who we have been, and knowing we have been beautiful, spiritually. Because of this, we entice spiritual folks into our own lives, those who love the particular totality folks – our own mind, your body and our own soul.
The very next time you point out, "Wow! Which is beautiful! inches Remember, you discuss about it yourself, and it's also you that is beautiful. An individual always have been. You always will probably be.

David Collins Studio has undergone a total brand review and today (Monday 30th July) unveils its new identity and website – davidcollins.studio. The rebrand follows a period of intensive research and analysis to understand the reasoning behind, the purpose and the ambitions of David Collins Studio.
Image: The Carriage House at Walpole member Adare Manor.
For the first time since it was established in 1985, the Studio, in collaboration with London branding experts Bibliotheque London and website designers Future Corp, and external creative director Graham Erickson, internalised its client creative process and sought to re-discover its history, legacy and contemporary significance in order to deliver the true identity of the Studio as it stands today.
Commenting on David Collins Studio's new identity, Founder and CEO Iain Watson says:
"We say that our projects rewrite the idea of timeless glamour. Looking at our own branding allowed us to capture this approach with a bespoke font and exquisite materials. We were excited to work with Bibliotheque and it has been an inspiring collaboration."
Creative Director Simon Rawlings adds:
"As a Studio we continuously evolve creatively, to ensure our designs remain relevant and without time. The marriage of modernity and classical inspiration have always been our vocabulary, and our skilled crafting of this combination delivers uniqueness. Presenting our Studio through brand and digital now takes the same dynamic approach that we have with our project work. A uniquely iconic type, and a digital presence created to engage and inspire, embodied within our signature luxurious approach."
The new logo with bespoke font DCSynthesis was created out of a desire to combine the Studio's ability to produce both contemporary and classical interiors and is a unique combination of serif and sans serif fonts that recognizes the juxtapositions that embodies the Studio work.
With its extensive portfolio of projects, the Studio have delivered a site that is editorial in focus; inviting writers, photographers and artists to interpret the projects and deliver a different perspective to the body of work. The result is an intriguing mix of stories that highlight the breadth of their work delivered through an explorative format, with imagery, hand drawn sketches and film as illustration.

Last August we ran a story about an Audi R8 GT painted by Audi Exclusive in Signal Green, photos of which had been posted over at AutoGespot. For those unfamiliar with the hue, Signal Green is almost a basic non-metalic primary green that was a popular color of choice for German cars in the early 70s. B1 Audi 80 (a.k.a. Audi Fox) models were available in the color as was the Porsches of the time and especially the 911 RS.
We met up a few weeks ago with Audi of America R8 product planner Mark Fruechtnicht at the local Neato Burrito. Fruechtnicht was in the area doing a site visit at a local Audi dealership and this gave us an both an excuse to enjoy a great burrito and talk shop about Audi and the R8. The conversation eventually turned to Audi Exclusive and Fruechtnicht admitted that one of his favorite
With the Audi R8 finally on a racing grid in America, it seems logical that American R8 owners will sit up and take notice. Attendance by a few R8s and their owners at the Audi Racing Experience hospitality presence was to be expected, but even still it was a treat to see a US-spec R8 GT make
It's not every day that a dealership celebrates the sale of just one car by emblazoning that fact on a billboard, but that's exactly the case for Chicago area Audi dealership The Audi Exchange. Having just sold an R8 GT to a proud new owner in Lake Forest, IL, the dealership made the very clever move of warning local motorists to stay out of its way. Nice job Audi Exchange!

We featured a scale model Audi R8 GT on our recent 2011 Holiday Gift Guide for the Audi Enthusiast , though as a resin model that one may have been a bit expensive for all but the serious scale model collector. Not so with this 1:18 scale Audi R8 GT we found on Amazon.com following its inclusion on a similar gift guide we found over on Nick's Car Blog.

Last week marked press days for the 2011 Los Angeles Auto Show, which also meant several North American reveals for Audi. Among the stars of the Audi stand were the R8 GT Spyder, the S8, S7 and S6. Also on display, though more conceptual in nature, were the Audi e-tron Spyder and also an A3 with experimental e-tron drivetrain.
Check out more photos of each, as well as
Over the last two weeks we've logged as many trips to Germany and visited the Audi Forum Ingolstadt on four separate days. Beyond the gratuitous FourSquare mayorships we've netted at Audi's world HQ , the real thing we learned was just how much to see and experience there is going on in and around Audi's grand piazza on any given day.
Paris car magazine L'Automobile is reporting today that Audi plans to bid a fond farewell to the current generation TT in the form of stripped down hardcore version with even more horsepower. If the French rumors are true, then details include a bump from 360 hp to 385 hp for the 2.5 TFSI. The story also suggests the car will drop some 125 lbs or more
On first verbal description, the R8 GT with its red-accented badges and brakes might not be the best pairing for green bodywork. The net effect might be assumed to be a bit... well... yuletide. Seeing it in the buff though, it certainly seems to work. We've spotted this one lone British Racing Green R8 GT photograph over on idownshift.com.
We don't know much about this car other
So if had an R8 GT and an airport booked, what would you do? Well, if you're the guys at Motor Trend you'd first give it to editor Mike Febbo to log an in-depth analysis of the car . Then, schedules permitting, you might pit it against ten other cars you might have around the office... like maybe a BMW 1M, Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca, Porsche 911 GT3 RS, Chevrolet Corvette

The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of North Carolina is backing down from its unprecedented broad request for voter information that could have compromised the privacy of more than two million cast ballots.
The Assistant U.S. Attorney who made the requests, Sebastian Kielmanovich, wrote a letter Thursday to State Board of Elections and Ethics Enforcement General Counsel Josh Lawson outlining a compromise that would protect voters' confidentiality while also preserving the information his office really needed for its investigation.
"In our conversations you noted the difficulty that Boards of Elections may have in responding to the subpoenas by the deadline set in those subpoenas due to the press of business as final preparations are made for the upcoming November election," the letter states. "We understand and appreciate that concern and want to do nothing to impede those preparations or to affect participation in or the outcome of those elections."
Kielmanovich stated that if the Board of Elections and the county boards of elections agreed not to destroy the information they requested in the subpoenas, his office would be willing to extend the deadline for compliance until "well after the upcoming election cycle is completed and the elected officials take office."
"Put more specifically, assuming the Board agrees to the preservation of the requested documents, we can postpone compliance until January 2019," the letter states. "We are also willing to agree to compliance with the subpoena on a rolling basis to allow for the effort and work which will be necessary to comply with the request."
Subpoenas were faxed Friday (before the three-day holiday weekend) to 44 county boards of elections in the eastern part of the state requesting "any and all poll books, e-poll books, voting records, and/or voter authorization documents, and executed official ballots (including absentee official ballots), that were submitted to, filed by, received by, and/or maintained by the [44] County Board[s] of Elections from August 30, 2013, through August 30, 2018."
There was also a subpoena sent to the State Board asking for "any and all voter registration applications" in addition to federal write-in absentee ballots, one-stop (early voting) application forms, provisional voting forms, "admission or denial of non-citizen return forms," and voter registration cancellations or voter revocation forms, among other documents.
The State Board called a meeting Friday to address the subpoenas but expressed concern in the meantime about the volume of documents requested.
The State Board reported that it keeps in excess of 15 million documents and images stored in its voter registration database. The information it would be forced to release includes 2,268,167 early voting ballots that would be traceable to the individuals who cast them and 3,367,012 Election Day ballots that would not be traceable.
In his letter, Kielmanovich said he would be willing to discuss the scope of the subpoenas and work with Lawson to determine whether that it could be narrowed "to ensure compliance while limiting production to those documents which are most relevant to the inquiry."
"In particular, it may be unnecessary to produce all cast ballots," he wrote. "Moreover, as part of the production process we want to protect the confidentiality of any cast ballot that is provided. Therefore, to the extent ballots are produced, we ask that the actual vote information be redacted, to the greatest extent possible. In other words, we want to prevent disclosure of any voter's actual choice of candidates in any race. That specific information is not relevant to our inquiry."
NC Policy Watch was the first to obtain the letter from Kielmanovich, which was sent to county boards of elections just before 2 p.m. Thursday. Read the full letter below.
The 44 county boards of elections that received a subpoena are in Beaufort, Bertie, Bladen, Brunswick, Camden, Carteret, Chowan, Columbus, Craven, Cumberland, Currituck, Dare, Duplin, Edgecombe, Franklin, Gates, Granville, Greene, Halifax, Harnett, Hertford, Hyde, Johnston, Jones, Lenoir, Martin, Nash, New Hanover, Northampton, Onslow, Pamlico, Pasquotank, Pender, Perquimans, Pitt, Robeson, Sampson, Tyrrell, Vance, Wake, Warren, Washington, Wayne and Wilson counties.
This is a breaking news story and will be updated throughout the day.

If things in the marker seem scary, maybe that's because they are scary. That's the message from one widely followed fixed income investor.
"I think there is a global growth slowdown underway," Bob Michele, global CIO and head of global fixed income at JPMorgan Asset Management, told CNBC's "Fast Money" this week. Looking at the somberly worded minutes of the most recent Federal Reserve meeting, Michele said the central bank was right to have second thoughts about hiking interest rates.
Read MoreFed's Mester: Economy 'solid,' gradual hikes ahead
In the minutes for the Jan. 26-27 meeting, the Fed's policymakers fretted that a global slowdown — and a deep stock market sell-off — could have fallout for the U.S. economy.
"When I read the Fed minutes, I see a central bank that is out of sync with the other central banks of the world and is second-guessing itself," Michele added.
Still, markets have gradually crept back after a brutal start to 2016. In a research note to clients on Friday, Capital Economics said it expects U.S. stocks to "make further headway this year," as China's economic outlook improves.
While some investors may be emboldened by the S&P 500 Index having its best week of 2016, Michele instead looked to other assets classes and saw signs of trouble. He pointed to the significant moves in the last couple of months in safe haven assets like the 10-year Treasury, whose price has surged, pushing yields lower. Gold, meanwhile, has jumped more $200 off its recent lows to hit $1,200 ounce.
All of that makes Michele slightly concerned. "People who have had cash are going back into the markets and putting it to work," said Michele.
"Does that change the fundamental picture? I don't think so," he said. "Fear has replaced greed."

Green Building Rating Systems
There are a number of green building rating systems that provide credits for building products and furniture with low emissions or low content of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). These credits are structured to encourage the selection of products with minimal adverse indoor environmental quality (IEQ) impacts.
USGBC's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards are the most widely known green building rating systems. There are thousands of buildings with LEED certification in the U.S. and throughout the world and many make use of one or more of the available LEED Low-Emitting Materials (LEM) credits. Other widely-adopted systems are operated by the Collaborative for High Performance Schools (CHPS), the Green Building Initiative (GBI), and the Green Guide for Healthcare (GGHC).
The first table below lists the LEED IEQ credits for low-emitting materials in the 2009 version of the LEED rating system. Building projects can earn points by using low-emitting products in these categories. An example of a compliant low-emitting product in the Flooring Systems credit is a floor covering with FloorScore® certification. Also listed in the table are the IEQ credit categories contained in the latest CHPS, GBI and GGHC green building rating systems. Products that are compliant with LEED 2009 IEQ credits and with credits in other building rating system may be listed in green product registries.
USGBC's LEED v4 is a major technical upgrade. Use of LEED v4 became mandatory in late 2016 for building projects seeking LEED certification. Significantly, LEED v4 includes product categories representing all of the major interior surfaces in a building and all of the layers comprising these surfaces. The second table below reproduces the thresholds of compliance for the six categories of products under Option 1, Product Category Calculations. Three compliant categories will earn one point for the project, five compliant categories will earn two points and 6 compliant categories will earn three points. Option 2, the Budget Calculation Method allows summing of the compliant percentages across all relevant categories with one to three points awarded depending upon the total percentage of compliant products.
Berkeley Analytical provides VOC emission testing and VOC content testing for all building product and furniture categories included in LEED v4, LEED 2009 and the other building rating systems. Test your low-emitting product, demonstrate compliance, and use the results as part of your marketing strategy. Compliant self-declared claims may be established using BkA's ClearChem™ program and product registry. Contact us today to get started!
