Types of Coffee Beans
She is an excellent blog writer. She writes for different…
In Types of Coffee Beans, I have discussed many interesting things about coffee beans. The nearly all traditional coffee is grown-up in heights about 3000 feet. The height produces more stylish, multifaceted flavors in the coffee cherries which hold the beans. The fruit has to be hand-picked as of trees which can stand flowers, green fruit, and mature cherries all at the similar time.
The outer softer tissue and parchment of the coffee cherry are aloof to expose two beans, which are then fresher, dried out, marked and hand-inspected. During raw its color converts from to pale green to dark yellow. They are an expert in their rare condition for roasting, amalgamation, and crushing at their final purpose. Most profitable companies use first and foremost C. Robusta and C. Arabica in their merges.

1. American (regular) roast:
In this type beans are average roasted which give the moderate brew not too light or not too black and heavy in flavor.
Roasting coffee converts the chemical and physical assets of green coffee beans into roasted coffee goods. The roasting procedure is what produces the feature flavor of coffee by reasoning the green coffee beans to modify in taste. Unroasted beans hold comparable if not higher heights of acids, protein, sugars, and caffeine because those that have been roasted but lack the flavor of roasted coffee beans owing to the Maillard and new chemical response that happen throughout roasting.
In this type beans are average roasted which give the moderate brew not too light or not too black and thick in flavor.

8. Decaffeinated coffee:
Caffeine is detached from the beans ahead of roasting using utilize of a chemical solvent (which fades away totally when the beans are roasted) or the Swiss water development which steams the beans and then scratches off the caffeine-laden external layers.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren
U.S. Senator
Washington, DC
I knew I had to make a choice: Go back into the academic world or dive headlong into politics.
I started out as a teacher and a researcher. For years, I had been studying a pressing phenomenon: families who worked hard and played by the rules, yet often ended up in bankruptcy. I figured I'd work on what was happening, and others could fight the political battles over how to solve it.
In 1995 I got a call from former Congressman Mike Synar of Oklahoma, who had been appointed by President Clinton to head up the National Bankruptcy Review Commission. He knew about my research and asked me to advise the commission.
I told him I didn't want to get involved because I was a researcher and had no interest in politics. Mike told me if I helped develop the report, he would take care of the politics. He said this was an opportunity where I could make a real difference for middle class families. This convinced me, and I said yes.
Shortly after I got to work on the Bankruptcy Commission, Mike developed brain cancer and died. I was asked to stay on by the Commission's new leadership. I knew I had to make a choice: Go back into the academic world or dive headlong into politics.
I said no. I didn't have any experience, and without Mike I was sure it would be an even harder task. But ultimately, I decided this would be a chance to stand up for families and to push back on some very damaging policies advocated by the credit industry.
So I leaned in, stayed on as an adviser and never looked back. It took some convincing to get me to spend time in Washington, but I'm grateful to those who urged me to jump in. Through my work with the Bankruptcy Commission and in my other public roles since, I've had more chances to fight to level the playing field for middle class families. It's the right fight, and I hope I've had some impact.

At school he endured bullying that no child should ever endure. He was spat on, urinated on, beat up, slapped, called awful names that I have no understanding of. Isolation became his surrounding. His leg was broken by a man in his town who had no time to hear the truth of what happened. His family started to crack. He saw a marriage fall apart. He would have to move far away from his father and start a new life. New school. New friends. He walked through a door that held healing, friends, faith, creativity and people who believed in him. He is now surrounded by people who know his value.
Today he is 19 years old. Jeremiah has seen a lot, experienced much and yet he has turned out to be a good guy!
I could take time and describe all the hate that Jeremiah had to endure and the brokenness of a home he had to experience, but honestly, I don't want to. I don't want to write about more pain, hate and hurt. Hate is hate. Pain is pain. Hurt is hurt. We all have experienced it on some level and we can relate. But to give more power and "air time" to it is not what this post is about. This post is for those that need to hear about HOPE and those that need to be encouraged that good people, who are willing to love, are out there.
I met Jeremiah over 2 years ago and he was 16 at the time. He instantly made me feel so welcome to a new season of my life. I started a new job at a church and it is there that I met Jeremiah. I have this unique ability to remember the first time I meet someone and what they are wearing! I have always been that way. But for some reason, I don't remember meeting Jeremiah, all I remember is that he's always just been there. It's almost like he quietly slipped into my life and needed no grand entrance. He is the guy you have known for 2 years yet he is the guy you have known forever! He comfortably fits in and he's constant. I think those are unique and rare qualities!
I have heard it said by one of my friends that you need to have 3 categories of people in your life: those that are mentoring you, your closest friends and those that you are pouring into. A steady flow, a good flow. The word "mentorship" has always seemed so formal to me, like an appointment with someone that I hardly see; yet I am to have coffee with them and open up all about my life. I would like to rename the term "mentorship" to "journeying". I want to journey with those (older and younger) that are in my life and during the time of walking I advise or I am given advice, I challenge or I am challenged. I desire it to be a natural flow of pouring into someone and being poured into.
Whether you like to call it mentorship or journeying, this story is about a boy who grew up in a broken home, was bullied like no one should ever experience and how many men (& woman) came alongside him and journeyed with him, challenged him, taught him, prayed with him, counseled him and laughed with him; all because they see his value, his purpose, his future and most of all, they love him. By their influence, Jeremiah has made choices that have taken him on a path of success rather than letting the circumstances of his childhood lead him on a path of destruction. He has kept a soft heart and he has refused to have his heart hardened by life's experiences therefore allowing himself to be poured into and challenged. A teachable heart is the key to life (in my opinion!).
Jeremiah has been blessed to have 4 guys (there are more and women; me!) walk with him this last while; they have influenced and loved him.
We have:
James: A brother type to Jeremiah & his youth pastor.
Tim: A father type & his youth pastor.
Jay: The wise uncle & a drum teacher to Jeremiah.
Michael: Another father type, who Jeremiah plays drums for.
I sat down with these guys and asked them about Jeremiah. I wanted to know why they chose to walk along side him and what they hope for him.
James – Youth Pastor
James met Jeremiah the first day of work about 2 years ago (same day as me!) and he soon saw characteristics in Jeremiah that he used to have when he was a teenager. They have a fun relationship with no walls, no hesitation and complete honesty. There is laughter and sometimes arguing! This brother type relationship has taken awhile for them to develop. They have butted heads along the way. James is quick to call Jeremiah on things and Jeremiah is quick to challenge it, leading to an open and honest conversation where they both learn.
James had to learn about life the hard way when he was younger from those older than him. He wants Jeremiah to learn all (character, discipline, spirituality etc) that he needs to learn before he goes to college or starts a career so he can excel twice as fast as James did. James was taught by his father-in-law that charisma and talent can only get you so far, but it's hard work, discipline, and character that will take you all the way through life.
"The biggest thing I have seen Jeremiah grow in is being teachable. He is blessed to have all these mentors in his life. I see the greatness in him. I see great potential and I see him reproducing that in other people. He is a hard worker and is always serving others. He's hilarious! He's going to be one of my best friends when he is older."
Tim – Youth Pastor
Tim has known Jeremiah for about 10 years; they first met on the basketball court when Tim offered him $20 if he could get a basket from center court! A few years later, Jeremiah started attending the youth group at the church and for the last 5 years they have had a friendship that has turned into a mentorship (fathering). He has come to know Jeremiah's story of being bullied and yet he knows that is not Jeremiah's identity; it was a season of his life but it doesn't own him anymore. Tim could see from the beginning that Jeremiah was marked for greatness and wanted to walk along side him. Tim has journeyed with Jeremiah; challenging him, correcting him, loving him and through it all, he has seen incredible growth. Tim says, "Those who are willing to have people speak into their lives and are willing to remain teachable, these are the ones that are marked for success. Jeremiah has recognized the people he has built trust with, has allowed them to speak truth into his life and this has contributed to his healing, his growth, his maturity and his choices to become the best version of himself. It's just the beginning for Jeremiah; he loves to be developed."
Tim's hope for Jeremiah is to see him become a youth pastor (which Jeremiah wants too); he knows the leadership that he holds inside of him!
Jay – Musician/Drummer
Jay met Jeremiah for the first time at a church in the city when he was about 13 years old. At first Jay got to know Jeremiah when he started playing drums at his church. Jeremiah asked Jay to speak into his life from a musical standpoint but then it soon turned into more of a "mentorship/advice giver" role. A natural accountability and community developed calling out the identity and destiny that was in Jeremiah. "We have a duty as a community to champion those into their destiny and identity." Jay listens with Jeremiah, he listens a lot, as Jeremiah is an external processor. He allows Jeremiah to come to conclusions as he processes. "Jeremiah is smarter than people think he is, he is very perceptive to things, people, and atmosphere."
Jay's wisdom is, "Mentorship is the process of championing someone into his or her destiny, becoming aware of the "mark" that God has placed on someone. It needs to be unique. It's about seeing the individual walking into the things that are for them. How can you come along side what God is doing in their life? Sometimes that can be tough, as you may have to call them out on character issues, but with the help of God you can help move that person towards the right direction."
Jay's hope for Jeremiah, "Because of his age he has a lot of people telling him what he should be doing or what to do, but my hope for him is that he would bypass all of that and have clarity of mind to know deep within his soul in how he is walking and walk in confidence regardless of what everyone is telling him to do. He knows what he is destined for. He has a desire to truly be loved and to love."
Michael – Musician/Pastor
Michael remembers meeting Jeremiah after a music event. "Jeremiah came up to me at the end of the night and asked me if he could help with tear down. He helped carry the gear out to the truck. I knew at that point that this kid had a heart of gold!" Michael would see him again at church and someone told him that Jeremiah was a pretty good drummer. Michael auditioned him at an event and he could see the purpose in Jeremiah's life. He wanted to see him play drums more and invest into Jeremiah's musicianship but also wanted to work with him on a friendship level and invest in his spiritual walk. Michael has seen Jeremiah grow in his confidence, his character and his willingness to take feedback.
Michael has been intentional in his friendship/mentorship with Jeremiah. He sometimes has had to give him tough love, but Jeremiah has a capacity to handle it and process it where he comes out ahead.
Michael hopes that Jeremiah will be a youth pastor one day, he sees his caring heart for people and he also wants him to be a world class, God loving musician. Michael's final words, "My dream for Jeremiah is that all his dreams will come true."
Today, Jeremiah is a leader in his youth group and he is influencing others. He is taking the time to lead the ones younger than him that have it all together and don't have it all together. He knows the power he carries. He is a great guy who is on a path of success. I can't wait to see where life takes him!
Hate tried to suppress Jeremiah but it had no hold on him when love entered the picture.
So, to the one that has been bullied or is currently bullied, I am sorry. I am sorry that you had to endure isolation, words of hate that wound, insecurity, ridicule and pain I can't imagine. But, it's not the end; there is more goodness than you know. There are people out there that will and do love you, believe in you, hope in you, dream for you and stand with you. Find them. Be open to it when they come into your life; don't let your walls/wounds push them away leading you to more isolation. There are good people out there.
To the one bullied, I pray that you will be found by people who love and are kind.
To the one bullied, I pray that you will find the ones that love and are kind.
To the one bullied, I pray you will find the bullied ones and be their light.
To the ones that aren't bullied, look for the ones that are and love them. Love them so well that their heart, spirit and soul heals. You hold the key to his or her future.
To the one bullied…don't let it be your identity.
My friend & I.

The CO-Firm and 2ii release "Transition-risk-o-meter"
An increasing number of actors demand (voluntary) disclosure of climate transition related risks. These comprise national governments, as in the case of France, and organizations such as the Task-force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD).
Within the Energy Transition (ET) Risk project funded by the Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme The CO-Firm models financial climate transition-related risk for a number of selected sectors and companies, in a consortium with 2° investing initiative, Carbon Tracker, Kepler Chevreux, Institute for Climate Economics (I4CE), University of Oxford and S&P Global.
Building on the TCFD's recommendations, The CO-Firm and 2° investing initiative developed a "Limited Climate Transition"- and a "Ambitious Climate Transition"-scenario. These scenarios complement and detail assumptions taken by IEA with additional parameters and country-level assumptions, so that the scenarios can lend themselves to climate risk analysis. Key risk drivers comprise production and technology, commodity and market prices, policies and cost incentives up to 2050.

What is a stellate ganglion block?
A stellate ganglion block (sympathetic block) is an injection of local anesthetic into the front of the neck that is typically ordered by your doctor for pain located in the head, neck, chest or arm caused by sympathetically maintained pain (reflex sympathetic dystrophy), causalgia (nerve injury), herpes zoster (shingles), or intractable angina. Stellate ganglion blocks are also used to see if blood flow can be improved in circulation problems typically from Raynaud's or CREST.
Stellate ganglion blocks may be therapeutic and/or diagnostic. One of three things may happen. 1. The pain does not go away and there is other evidence of a sympathetic block – the pain is not responsive to sympathetic blocks -this is of diagnostic value. 2. The pain does not go away and there is not good evidence of a sympathetic block – the block is a technical failure. 3. The pain goes away after the injection and stays away longer than the life of the local anesthetic – the block was of therapeutic value. The procedure will most likely have to be repeated to get long lasting benefit. The spacing of injections will be based on how long the pain relief is between injections (usually you will get longer benefit after each injection).
Note: The procedure can not be performed if you have an active infection, flu, cold, uncontrolled cough, fever, very high blood pressure or if you are on blood thinners. Please make Dr. Dominguez aware of any of these conditions. This is for your safety!
What are the risks of the procedure?
The risks of the procedure, though infrequent, include seizure – if the medication is injected into a blood vessel; pneumothorax (collapsed lung); brachial plexus block (numb arm that lasts for hours); spinal or epidural block (temporary weakness or numbness from the neck down); allergy to medication, nerve damage, and bruising at the injection site.
There are some expected changes that result from blocking the sympathetic nerves. These changes last for the life of the local anesthetic (about 4 – 6 hours). They include drooping of the eyelid on the injected side, "bloodshot eye" on the injected side, stuffy nose on the injected side and a temperature increase on the injected side. You may also get hoarseness.
Will the injection hurt a lot?
Dr. Dominguez has to press on your neck to locate the area to be injected. The injection itself is done using a very small needle. The local anesthetic stings/burns going in.
How do I prepare for my procedure?
No solid food or fluids after midnight prior to the procedure unless directed otherwise. On the morning of the procedure, you may take your non paid medications with a small amount of water. Diabetics should not take their medication for diabetes until after the procedure is complete. Please check your blood sugar at home before coming in. If you are taking any blood thinners such as Coumadin, Warfarin, Plavix, or any others, these medications must be discontinued well before the procedure. You will be directed by our staff as to when you should stop this medication. Please make Dr. Dominguez aware that you are taking a blood thinner, and contact your primary care physician or prescribing physician before stopping this medication.
What happens during the actual procedure?
After signing a consent form and checking your blood pressure by the nurse, an intravenous will be started. Skin temperature monitors will be placed on both your hands. You will be asked what your pain score is on a scale of 0 – 10. The procedure will be done with you lying on your back with a sheet rolled up between your shoulder blades. Your neck will be cleansed with an antiseptic soap. Dr. Dominguez will press on your neck to identify where to place the needle. At this time he will ask that you try not to talk, cough, or swallow. When the needle is in the correct place, the medicine (local anesthetic) is put in through the needle. The needle is removed and the procedure is complete. This usually takes about 5 – 10 minutes. If your pain is usually in your head you will remain lying down; if your pain is usually in your arm you'll be asked to sit up so the medicine spreads down. The medicine can take 10 – 20 minutes to take full effect. You will be watched during that time. Dr. Dominguez will be checking to see if the expected changes take place as well as see what effect if any there is on your pain. Your pulse and blood pressure will be checked. If all is well, your intravenous will be removed. Dr. Dominguez will authorize your discharge when you're ready and your ride is present.
How will I feel after the injection?
Your neck may be tender or bruised feeling after the injection. One eye will be droopy. This may affect your sense of balance. You may get hoarseness. If you do you must be careful swallowing.
If your arm gets numb or heavy you will have to protect it (sling) until sensation returns – usually 4 – 6 hours. You may take your usual pain medications after the injection.
It is important that you keep track of the amount of pain relief you received as well as how long the pain relief lasted.
Will I have any restrictions on the day of the procedure?
You may not drive for the remainder of the day after the procedure. An adult must be present to drive you home or to go with you in a taxi or on public transportation. The procedure will be cancelled if you don't have a responsible adult with you!! This is for your safety.
Be careful swallowing after the injection (sips of water first) especially if you get hoarseness.
For what reasons should I call American Pain Institute after the injection?
If you experience new shortness of breath 24 – 48 hours after the injection or any signs of infection in the area of the injection, you should call us right away.

Require Sewer Damage Queen Creek Removal Expertise?
Although floods are probably best known for inflicting extensive water damage to homes and businesses, they can at the same time trigger sewage from sanitary sewer lines to back up into places via drain pipes.
These kinds of backups not only create damage that is expensive and difficult to mend, but also produce health hazards.
Most house owner and business insurance coverage policies do not take care of sewer back-up unless specific sewer backup protection is put on the policy.
Sewer backup protection is offered from a large number of insurance providers for a reasonable cost, normally $40 or $50 on an annual insurance coverage.
Many home owners and businessmen may not realise that they accountable for the maintenance tasks and repair service of their house or sewer lateral the pipe between the town sanitary sewer main, typically placed under road, and the property.
The sewer lateral is possessed and managed by the property owner taking into account any area that might go on into the road or public right of way. A cracked or corroded lateral or one loadeded with tree roots can easily enable groundwater to leak into the system, contributing to the likely sewer backup complications.

Water Damage Queen Creek Dry-Out Pros At Work.
Common Creators Of Sewer Backup:
Stoppages As A Result Of Tree Roots: Trees and shrubs wanting wetness could make their way into sewer line splits inflicting in depth damage. They may begin small, entering into a narrow rift in the pipeline; yet as the tree or bush continues to mature, so does the root. Tree roots may get into the service pipe at junctions and lead to stoppages. These might also progress a extensive way, and roots from different sorts of trees behave in different ways.
In the case that you suppose that city trees accountable for sewer line destruction, your local plumber can approach the town and samplings of the roots can be made use of to help determine the trees and who is obligated for cleanup. In some cases a blockage is the result of a combination of city and personal trees. For this case damages are partitioned amongst the town and home owner.
Sanitary Main: A blockage can be found inside a town sanitary main.
If the obstruction is not located in time, discharge from the main can back up into homes and companies by way of floor drains. Often that transpires bit by bit, supplying the person time to get in touch with a certified plumber to measure the damages. Phone the city public works office and report the problem immediately so that a city operator can investigate if water is entering your basement at a rapid rate.
Water in Basement: A good amount of basement water damage is not related to the sanitary sewer equipment. In many cases, soil settles beside the premises and, unless fixed, brings about rain flowing in the direction of the building and down the outside of the foundation wall. This is even more true in aging buildings wherein fractures could have formed within the foundation or floor slab which in turn enable water to enter into the basement. The cement floor and cellar walls of these properties might have deteriorated to the point that they are no longer waterproof. In this way, water can get in a basement that has never experienced a water predicament. That often times occurs as soon as the ground is filled after repeated or substantial rain storms. Water drainage can be improved by making certain that water drains away from the property. Homeowners might likewise help prevent flooding by water-sealing the basement.
Home owners and business insurance do not cover flood damage: Only flood insurance will cover your losses in the event of a flood. Federal flood insurance policies can be purchased directly from an insurance agent or a company representative, and are available to communities that participate in the National Flood Insurance Program.

Ways to Prevent Backups in Your Lateral and in the City Main
Unlicensed Plumbing Connections: Do not hook up French drains, sump pumps and other flood control devices to your hygienic sewer. It is unlawful, and debris and sand will choke your line. Speak to a plumber to change any type of unlawful hookups.
Dispose of Lard Properly: Cooking oil ought to be put into a heat-resistant container and disposed of appropriately, as soon as it cools off, in no way in the drain. Washing grease down the drain with hot water can give rise to significant troubles. Once the grease cools down, it will most likely coagulate either in the sink, the homeowner's line, or in the main sewer causing the line to constrict and gradually block.
Dispose of Paper Goods Appropriately: Paper towels, non-reusable (and fabric) diapers, and feminine products are able to bring about many issues in the property owner's lateral as well as in the town main given that they do not disintegrate rapidly, as toilet tissue does.
Install a Backwater Avoidance Control device: A backwater shutoff is a attachment built within a sewer line, and sometimes right into a drain line, in the cellar of your house or business to stop sewer line backflows. A carefully put in and cared for backwater valve permits discharge to exit, yet just not to return back in. Property owners are responsible for the installation and routine maintenance of backwater shutoffs. The expense to put in one is dependent on the style of plumbing in your home or business and the difficulty of setup. Consult a certified plumber.
Replace Your Line With Brand-New Plastic pipe: One way to keep tree roots from getting into your line is to change your line and tap with all new plastic piping. You may have to have roots cut periodically if you continue to have troubles with tree root systems expanding in your lateral.
If You Encounter A Sewer Backup, What To Do:
A sewage system backup can lead to disease, destruction of your valuables, damage to your house or business, and can even result in electrical malfunctions. In the event of sewer backup, immediately arrange for the cleanup of your property.
- Mopping floors and wiping walls with cleansing soap and disinfectant.
- Cleansing out and sterilizing plumbing system fixtures.
- Heavy steam cleansing or eliminating drenched rugs and carpets or drapes.
- Repairing or removing harmed sheetrock or wall structure covering.
- Wet-vacuuming or removing spillage.
- Clean-up of ductwork.
How You Can File Your Insurance ClaimFor insurance claim objectives, take before and after photos of the damaged areas and record any type of property damages. Save all invoices associated with repairs, washing or damages and call your Independent Insurance Rep as early as feasible.

Don't put up with your partner's snoring
PUBLISHED: 15:54 24 September 2018 | UPDATED: 16:06 24 September 2018
Quality not quantity is what counts.
Far too many of us crawl out of bed each morning in a zombie like state reaching for a cup of coffee to perk us up and feeling like we could do with more sleep.
Whether it's our partner snoring like a freight train or lying awake worrying about the next day, sleep deprivation seems to dominate our conversations and our lives.
But researchers from the University of Oxford recently revealed that we are actually getting more sleep than we did four decades ago. Nicky Barrell asks is it quality not quantity that matters?
The Journal of Sleep Research published study found that the average time that Brits spent asleep has increased from 7 hrs 23 mins to 8 hrs 6 mins over the past four decades.
Whilst employed people slept an extra 45 minutes a night, it also found that retirees slept an additional 27 mins in the studies from 1974 to 2015.
The findings are due to a decline in what the researchers described as "work-sleep conflict" in that we are now finding it easier to balance the demands of work with a good night's sleep.
But according to the Sleep Apnoea Trust feeling restored after a night's sleep is based on the quality not how much sleep you get.
Sleep apnoea affects up to 4 million people across the UK with only 1 million diagnosed and East Anglia has one of the highest rates in the country.
Symptoms range from lack of attention and excessive sleepiness to high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, depression and loss of sex drive.
"People are getting bigger in the UK and obesity is a major contributing factor to the increase in obstructive sleep apnoea – we are now seeing in the UK the same levels of sleep apnoea which were seen in America seven years ago," said Sleep Apnoea Trust managing secretary Chris Rogers.
At 6ft 3 inch, ex rugby player and business man know only too well the impact of sleep apnoea, he was forced by his colleagues to stay in a separate hotel because of his loud snoring. "When I snored the whole of England knew about it."
And would fall asleep at inappropriate times In the days of Mrs Thatcher it was called cat napping but now people realise it is an illness."
It was only when he went to his GP and onto a sleep clinic that he discovered he would stop breathing 55 times every hour. Now Chris uses a CPAP machine which pumps air slightly about normal pressure enabling him to breathe through the night and wake up in the morning feeling refreshed.
So if you're worried about your lack of sleep or are being kept awake by your partners snoring – you don't have to suffer in silence.
Fill in a simple questionnaire (Epworth sleeping scale) and contact your GP if the score is over 10.
Sleep apnoea: Find out if you are at risk
History of Sleep
Around 70,000-40,000 BC, Neanderthal man stopped polyphasic (multiple rest-activity) cycles in a 24-hour period and adopted monophasic (sleep at night, awake by day) patterns instead.
Early civilisations such as Mesopotamia, India, Egypt and China used remedies including chanting, blood-letting and herbs to regulate sleep patterns and dreams.
20th century scientists Rechtschaffen and Kales scored stages of sleep - our deepest sleep (AKA slow-wave sleep) consists of stages 3 and 4 of non-REM stages. If you're woken from slow-wave sleep you are more typically tired.
How much sleep should we get?
• Newborns (0-3 months): 14-17 hours each day
• Infants (4-11 months): 12-15 hours
• Toddlers (1-2 years): 11-14 hours
• Preschoolers (3-5): 10-13 hours
• School age children (6-13): 9-11 hours
• Teenagers (14-17): 8-10 hours
• Younger adults (18-25): 7-9 hours
• Adults (26-64): 7-9 hours
• Older adults (65+): 7-8 hours

African People & Ballroom Dancing
Ballroom dance encompasses a broad range of dances and among them is African dance. It historically traces its roots from the 16th-century French renaissance social dance. Evidently, it can be said that from this dance evolved the African dance ostensibly due to the social interactions of Africans who were shipped to America as slaves and Europeans who came to colonize America. The codification of the dance as ballroom is said to have been direct translation of the act itself where, ball is a Latin word "ballare" meaning "to dance" while a ball-room being the huge room designed for such dances and therefore ballroom dance.
Ballroom dance is done in pairs often couples during social functions as it originally was among the French for recreation and pleasure. In the contemporary world, competitions have been designed where a man and woman, not necessarily a couple showcases their moves in the effort and with intent to win a price.
Ballroom dancing was a social dance designated only to the privileged in the society while folk dances were left for the lower classes however these notions have since crumbled and you concur with me that ballroom dancing is a common feature of stage movies and television. The onset of dance sport saw the dance diffused into five International Standard and five International Latin style dances that differ in technique, rhythm and costumes but uphold the cardinal components of ballroom dancing such as control, coherence, and hip position.
Captive Africans from across the African continent flooded the American continent from the seventeenth to the eighteenth centuries as slaves and as many are the societies among Africans, so were their culture and dance. Remarkably heterogeneous. Africans, therefore, carried with themselves all the dance moves and songs to a foreign continent which had its own form of dance. Nevertheless with two cultures socializing, nature dictates that you are bound to get quasi-cultural result hence African dance.
The African dance came about after the association of the African hippy dance culture with the western ballroom dance. The conspicuous African hip seemed a charmingly beautiful blend in the Ballroom dance. Whereas in the 19th century European ballroom dances had a vertical body carriage inclination, otherwise called the waltz, or leaned towards the direction of travel, as in the polka, Africans infused in a different move; the counter-sway. Characteristically, the body inclined against the direction of travel, with the hip leading the direction of travel. Arguably this is due to the typical African practice of bending emphatically at the waist and hips, an effect related to the African practice of carrying heavy loads on the head which requires a high balancing spine. The African counter-sway in ballroom dancing first appeared in some Ragtime Era dances at the turn of the century and it remained a hotly debated body motion in the US for over half a century as evidenced by Dick Clark's ban of any hip movement on his 1950s American Bandstand Show.
Jive is a dance among the swing dances (Lindy Hop, Charleston, Shag and Balboa) that started in African ballroom dance clubs in the former years of 1940s as a variation of on the common Lindy Hop, also known as the Jitterbug. During World War II, American servicemen took the dance to England and once they left, the girls they had danced with kept dancing it. It was later refined to give a more precise competitive form. Other influences of Africans on Western ballroom dancing included the Afro-Brazilian counter-sway, very prominent in the Brazilian Maxixe and Afro-Cuban counter-sway, in the Rhumba that gained enormous popularity in the United States in 1931 and finally adopted and standardized by the Official Board of Ballroom Dancing.
The Greater Chesapeake area originally Chesapeake colonies that engulf Virginia, Maryland, and much of North Carolina are the earliest and perhaps the most influential location of the Black-white cultural interchange that produced African-American Ballroom Dance.
May 7th, 2012, an American website, Monday Open Thread wrote an article on "Blacks In Ballroom." A story is told of Margot Webb and Harold Norton, African-American ballroom dancers from Virginia that made stage appearances from 1933-1946-47, the vaudeville circuits of nightclubs and theaters in the Northeast and Midwest. The two were professionally known as "Norton and Margot." At that time in history, very few African-Americans were dancing Ballroom. The career carried with itself acute frustrations, unexpected racial judgments and generally discrimination that sailed down to demoralization. They were practicing in an era where almost all the night clubs and pubs had "for whites only" emblems. The racial discriminative and segregated era of 1930s and 40s gave them no chance to succeed and had they lived after the declaration of civil rights furiously campaigned by Martin Luther King, probably the career climate would have given them an opportunity to succeed.
Though initially a social dance, African dance together with all other approved Ballroom dances have taken the route of stage performance on an extremely competitive basis. It has gradually turned from a social dance by couples into a booming business across the world. It has become an industry on its own associated with luxuriously women's shoes, men's dance shoes and especially women Ballroom dresses. Some modeling companies has also scoped the chance of marketing themselves through this industry in making costumes. Several schools have cropped up with a curriculum to develop a ballroom, dancer. African-American ballroom schools, clubs, and studios are now booming businesses in the United States. It's an interesting turn of events noting that in the recent past flowing through to the current trends; kids are being born with ballroom dance talents. Very skilled instructors and dancers at the same time.
Rufus Dustin is probably the most accomplished Afro-American in this field. He was a United States champion in three years, American Style and International Latin and Theatrical Arts. He was too a World Exhibition Champion and represented the United States in five World Champions. Even with the dance becoming a business, there are a number of notable African-American modern dance companies using African-American such African-American ballroom dancing as an inspiration and recreation. Among these are the Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre, Dance Theatre of Harlem and Lula Washington Dance Theatre.

As interest in international public relations increases, knowing the communication laws that affect other countries is all the more important. Nowhere is this more important than China. In April 2015 the Chinese government passed new communications laws that will go into effect in September 2015. These laws represent the latest Chinese effort to protect consumers from deceptive promotions. The practical implications of these laws is that communication practitioners will have to carefully craft content to avoid civil penalties and sanctions.
To fully appreciate how these laws work it is important to understand the Chinese legal system and its previous regulations on promotional messages. China officially has constitutional protections for the freedom of speech and the press according to Chapter 2, Article 35 of the Constitution of the People's Republic of China. However, the legal regulation of promotional materials has evolved in the past twenty years. In 1995 China created specific advertising laws that detailed regulations of promotional content. These laws reflect some of the same expectations found in American Federal Trade Commission regulations. These laws are rooted in the idea of consumer protection and include provisions that prohibit "false information" or "misleading consumers." There are also provisions that require certain disclaimers about price and quality of products (Advertisement Law of the People's Republic of China, 1995).
However, these laws also contain provisions unique to China. For instance, no promotional materials can make use of Chinese national symbols or make references to the State. The law also prohibits negative commentary on competitors, forbids the use of words such as "best" or "highest grade," and bans any use of "information suggesting pornography, superstition, terror, violence or hideousness" (Advertisement Law of the People's Republic of China, Article 7, 1995). Sanctions for violating these laws include fines and mandatory retractions. Fines are particularly expensive ranging from one-to-five times the cost of the promotion for both the organization releasing the content and the individuals who created it.
These communication laws were created in a pre-Internet era and did not anticipate the role of social media. The new laws slated for September 2015 are meant to be an update on these older policies. Some of these new laws provide more severe penalties for violations including the wholesale prohibition of working in China.
These new laws have prompted a flurry of analysis by lawyers and businesspeople. Hogan Lovell, an international law firm, notes that the new regulations show that China is interested in regulating product quality, particularly baby food products. This is in sync with other Chinese regulations on cigarette promotions and public banning of smoking.
Perhaps the most important aspect of these new laws is their regulation of online content. These new laws restrict online criticisms, regulates use of company produced news content and exposes Internet service providers to greater liability. While it is unclear exactly how these laws will affect communication in China, PR practitioners need to know three things:
- China's new law limits social media promotions. In these new laws there is an explicit prohibition for so-called "Black PR" (Rosenfeld et al., 2015). This type of public relations is done when a social media site contains criticisms of other organizations. The problem with this type of regulation is that it directly affects how social media platforms can operate. China currently bans most Western social media sites, most notably Facebook. However, if sites like Facebook and Twitter were allowed in China they may not present the same opportunities for social media campaigns. In many social media platforms, such as Twitter and Facebook, followers can re-tweet and comment directly on other users' sites. While users can control the content on their social media sites it is difficult to regulate re-postings and re-tweets, especially when the material goes viral. In fact, the number of re-posts is part of the new Chinese laws. If the material is visited by over 5,000 visitors and causes mental and physical harm to an individual the users may be subject to criminal penalties. This is significant for PR practitioners who may use social media platforms to generate attention for a particular campaign. Because user interaction is paramount in an effective social media strategy the openness of a site is essential. However, China's laws that tie sanctions to views of a site could spell disaster for a viral campaign or even a post if that content is deemed legally derogatory or offensive.
- China's new laws may limit native advertising and content marketing. Promotional content taking the form of editorials is all the rage. Sometimes this is referred to as native advertising or content marketing. Basically these terms refer to online content that promotes an organization through the form of the platform. This creates a seamless experience for the user. Social media and online clearinghouses, such as Amazon, have revolutionized this form of promotion. However, China's new communication laws seem to limit or even ban this type of promotion. According to these laws, disclosing personal information about users and the use of deceptive promotional tactics are forbidden. Because online native advertising and content marketing rely on user profiles to generate content this may qualify as illegal disclosure and deception. PR practitioners are gaining new opportunities in digital PR because of content marketing. However, if China's new laws are more restrictive in regulating online content, practitioners may be limited in their PR strategies.
- China's new laws provide for more severe sanctions. In the 1995 Advertisement Law of the People's Republic of China, sanctions mainly included set fines. These fines were sometimes specific or sometimes were based on the cost of the promotional campaign. These new communication laws now include penalties that require violators to pay legal fees and court costs. According to Eugene Low (2015), a Hong Kong based attorney, the new law also includes sanctions that ban endorsers of messages from engaging in communication for up to three years. Perhaps most significantly, criminal libel exists in China. If convicted a person can spend up to three years in prison for criminal libel according Article 246 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China. If content is deemed harmful to an individual or group, practitioners and organizations could face criminal punishment in addition to civil damages. If practitioners unwittingly violate one of these laws, they and their client can be subject to economically debilitating consequences.
While it is impossible to tell the true effect of these laws until they are implemented, it is undeniable that they are important. Western, particularly American, professionals frequently view the world through the lens of Western legal traditions. While practitioners acknowledge that international practice means respecting the norms, values and conventions of other countries, it is sometimes difficult to remove the subconscious understanding of Western legal rights. However, to have an effective international PR practice, practitioners must know the contours of communication law wherever they practice. Because China's economy and population are so large it is difficult to image an organization or PR firm not conducting business there. This means practitioners, clients and management need to know these new laws and expectations. Knowing how to work within these legal boundaries not only protects the practitioner, but also allows them continued opportunities in international markets.

"This processor is groundbreaking and Intel truly closes the gap between the E3 and E5 Processor. The true answer between the two processors is Xeon D," – said John Brancela CEO of ServerHub.
Henderson, NV, May 15, 2015 –(PR.com)– ServerHub, a privately held Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) provider that specializes in dedicated server and cloud based virtualization applications, today announced along with Eonix Communications, a privately held Co-Location and High Availability Transit Provider, today announced availability of the Intel Xeon D Processor family into the ServerHub Dedicated Server product line, making ServerHub one of the first providers to offer the new processor into the hosting and IaaS community.
ServerHub carefully researches and considers new technologies and processors that are selected for sale to the ServerHub community. When the decision was made to carry the new Intel Xeon D 1540 processor it was a true slam dunk, the Xeon D 1540 is based on the new Intel Broadwell chipset, and features 8 core processing power vs the mainstream Intel E3 4 core processor configuration. The Xeon D processor is also lower cost alternative compared to the E5 processors, which at 8 core carry a considerably higher TCO rate compared to this new version, the price of the processor does not reflect performance, as the Intel Xeon D series bridges the gap, allowing up to 128GB of DDR4 memory making this processor the preferred processor for web servers, VPS/Virtualization Service Providers and users who need increased performance without the higher price tag of the E5 processor.
"We're extremely impressed with the Intel Xeon D processor family, and we are extremely excited to welcome the new processor family into our Dedicated Server. When we reviewed the overall specifications of this offering compared to some of the "Status Quo" servers, the decision was clear. This processor is groundbreaking and Intel truly closes the gap between the E3 and E5 Processor. The true answer between the two processors is Xeon D," Said John Brancela Chief Executive Officer of ServerHub.

In Sweden today we see changes in the management of money and the prediction is that by year 2030 Sweden will become a cashless society. The purpose of the thesis is to investigate what tools a child and parent may need in a cashless society.
During the research it became clear that the parents and children rarely talk about money and economics. The reason why they rarely talk about it is that the subject itself is heavy and contains several different areas to discuss such as savings, consumption, budget, value of money and money management.
The result of the thesis is a knowledge test for children in financial literacy. Questions regarding money and economics are presented to the child in a playful game. The knowledge test gives the parents and child a better understanding of the child's level of knowledge within the area and what topics they could discuss further.

Beet + Black Bean Burgers
Prep time
Cook time
Total time
Can be baked, grilled or cooked in a skillet.
Serves: 6
- 1 large raw beet, peeled and diced into tiny cubes (about ½ inch thick)
- 2 raw carrots, shredded (about ¾ cup)
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- ¾ c raw walnuts, chopped (or ½ cup pumpkin seeds)
- 1 ½ cups black beans (or 1 can, drained and rinsed)
- a handful of parsley or cilantro
- 1 tsp hot paprika
- 1 ½ tsp cumin
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- ¾ cup cooked rice (any kind will do), or oat flour/bran
- olive oil
- If baking, preheat oven to 350°.
- Heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet, then add the minced garlic to saute. After about 30 seconds, toss in the diced beets and carrots. Stir, reduce heat, and cover with a lid to speed cooking. When the veggies have softened, blend half of them in a food processor with half of the rice and the black beans (if your food processor is small, do this in batches.)
- Place all of the ingredients into a large mixing bowl. Stir well (or use your hands) to combine all of the ingredients and season with more sea salt to taste.
- Form into tightly packed patties, and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, or on the grill. If baking, cook for 35 minutes. Grill for 8-10 minutes each side.
- Serve with avocado or tahini on a bun or over salad greens. Also amazing with cucumbers, and shredded carrots.

The threat of homelessness amongst veterans has become an increasingly growing issue. Through my extensive research I have found multiple reasons as to why this threat has occurred. Some examples of these are things such as the transition from military to civilian life, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and poverty. I am going to apply the functionalist and conflict perspectives in explaining the problems of homelessness amongst veterans.
The first institution that fails veterans is the military. From the functionalist perspective the manifest function of the military is to train and structure a person into what is necessary to protect and serve their country. The latent functions of the military are to educate and to receive benefits such as health care and housing. Although these latent functions for the most part only apply to those currently enlisted. The dysfunctions of the military include abuse, corruption, lack of social support, and lack of training on how to function and survive when placed back into civilian life.
As a result of these functions conflicts are made such as competition, constraints, and power struggles. The manifest, latent, and dysfunctions relate to competition in that the military is always trying to excel to superiority at any cost. The fate of its soldiers is not a top priority. The constraints of these functions are ones set by the standards of the military. The good or the bad is not achieved unless the military allows for it. The manifest, latent, and dysfunctions relate to power struggles in that the militaries ultimate goal is to become as powerful as can be. This includes power over its soldiers. This power can limit the benefits that a soldier may receive and also the point to which a soldier is pushed.
The second institution that fails the veteran is family.

The most famous beads in American history are, of course, the ones that helped buy Manhattan island in 1626. Though the story is almost certainly apocryphal, beads remain the punch line to the greatest one-sided deal ever, and the so-called trinkets get short shrift, beyond their value as currency and trade goods.
Many religions use beads as implements of prayer — they're like the TweetDeck of divine communication. Beads are frequent elements of rituals and ceremonies and powerful talismans against malevolent forces — though, for the record, the beaded evil eye I was so kindly given at a market in Turkey did not protect me from a debilitating weeklong stint with food poisoning.
Beads have also been a staple of arts and crafts dating back millennia, and the prevalent use of beads today is in the arena of style, particularly for jewelry and other accessories. So think of the Intergalactic Bead & Jewelry Show, this weekend at the Agricenter, as a fashion show for those who actually make what everyone else wears.
The trade show features numerous exhibitors and is open to the public for retail and wholesale purchases. Attendees will find an array of items to choose from. Glass and plastics are, naturally, common materials for beads, but those only scratch the surface. Precious and semi-precious metals and gemstones, clay, stones, seeds, wood, and crystals are the basis of many beads on sale this Saturday and Sunday. Handcrafted wares from far-flung locales such as Kenya, Afghanistan, Brazil, Peru, Guatemala, Italy, Thailand, Myanmar, and the Czech Republic will be peddled.
(And, btw, we'll gladly sell you Nashville for $24 worth of beads.)
Intergalactic Bead & Jewelry Show, Agricenter International, Saturday, January 29th-Sunday, January 30th, 10 a.m.-5 p.m.
$5 for both days or $4 on Sunday only.

Know any supercar owners who confine their rides to a garage when the snow and ice ...
Know any supercar owners who confine their rides to a garage when the snow and ice hit? If your answer to this question is positive, you should show those people the tale we have here.
We are dealing with the ever-present rivalry between the first generation of the Audi R8 and the Lambo Gallardo, which is seen here in an all-white take – the Mercedes-AMG GL63 makes the cameo appearance, but we won't complain.
The action was caught on the camera in Canada, at the Autodrome in Saint-Eustache, Quebec, with the YouTube description of the video talking about the supercars dialing things up to 100 mph.
Now, such the showdown raises a lot of questions and while we won't list all of them here, we will mention the few of them, along with some answers here and there, all to get the winter party started.
For the starters, filling out the gaping intakes of these go-fast machines with snow dramatically changes their appearance, thus changing the terms of a visual battle between the two siblings. So does the Audi R8 look sweeter than the Gallardo in this Winter Wonderland trim?Legendary Speed is dedicated to bringing you the very best Videos about Automobiles and Cool stuff.

After 2 years finally the last ratification instrument of the Treaty of Lisbon (2007), the signature of the Eurosceptic Czech President Vaclav Klaus, has been implemented. The treaty will enter into force on 1 December 2009.
This was made possible after the Constitutional Court of the Czech Republic had announced its judgment this week, in very clear language, that the Treaty of Lisbon amending the Treaty on European Union (Maastricht 1992) and the Treaty establishing the European Community (Rome 1957) and its ratification are not inconsistent with the constitutional order of the Czech Republic.
Apart from the fear of loosing sovereign powers the ongoing debate on the Beneš-Decrees and the Czech Restitution Laws played an important role in the retarded acceptance of the Lisbon Treaty. The incompatability of these laws with the current European Convention on Human Rights, could invoke new claims from the Sudeten Germans, who were expelled from Czechoslovakia, deprived of their citizenship and properties after World War II.
But the Czech delegation negotiated an opt-out from the European Charter on Fundamental Rights, which is according to art 6 of the Treaty on the European Union as amended by the Lisbon Treaty, an integral part of the treaties.
Now the European institutions can start working on a more democratic, transparent and efficient Union. They must choose a new Commission, a new EU president (president of the European Council), and a person for the new post of High Representative for Foreign Affairs.
Then this unique international law phenomenon, this Union of Citizens and Member States (definition by Jaap Hoeksma, accepted by several gremia, a.o. the Dutch Parliament) can become also a really democratic Union.
