7 Common Myths About The Brain
The Human Brain Facts - जाने दिमाग की सच्ची बाते
A healthy brain always thinks in a positive manner. You can not analysis the capacity of this organ.So many facts are described in books like - mythology of brain, brain cool facts, popular myths about human brain & busted brain mythsCompose of the cerebrum, cerebellum, and brainstorm, the brain controls our capacity for art, moral judgment, and language.
But you can get some very wrong ideas about the brain that means people have the wrong myths about the brain and do not want to change at any cost.
They have the wrong concept of these points, which are brain use, memory, fact, dominance.
7 Common Facts & Myths About The Brain
1. Use Only 10% Of Your Brain (Myth)- Fact Is: This myth is very popular that everyone is using only ten percent of his mind.
It can only be tracked down to the reserve energy theory by Harvard psychologists William James.A drug, which indicates that brain usage 100%. CPH4 is a product in the human body, which is needed for the formation of tetrahydrobiopterin. He said that people only meet a fraction of their full mental potential. You also know that you can use your mind more than that. The myth sounds appealing because they see it in terms of human potential.
2. Permanent Brain Damage(Myth) - Fact Is: The brain has the capacity to repair or compensate for certain losses and even generate new cells.
The scientist believes that if the brain was unalterable or it was broken, then tough for you to fix. Your brain made from plastic throughout life.
3.Crossword Puzzles Improve Your Memory (Myth) - Fact Is: This is the big thought run in the world that crossword puzzles improve memory. Solving crossword puzzles delayed the onset of memory decline in individuals between the age of 75 and 85. That decline showed a sign of dementia. The most scientist said that there is no harm to solve the crossword puzzles but it is also true that this activity is not beneficial too.
4. Being In A Coma Is Like Being Asleep: Wake Up Well Rested (Myth) - Fact Is: You have seen the number of films and hero gone in the coma. After some time they recover himself and happy when coming out from the coma.
Their coma is harmless but in real life, those emerging from coma often suffer disabilities. They need rehabilitation. Generally high-traffic brain regions normally bright hubs of activity, even during sleep.
5. Headaches Are In The Brain (Myth) - Fact Is: Headaches, the main cause is tension from some work, swelling of blood vessels of the brain.
Here periosteum and the scalp have pain receptors. The main reason for headaches may be the tightening of the muscles in the neck and the head.
Another cause of headaches may be an imbalance in serotonin levels. This is essential to regulate mood, sleep and blood vessel.
6. Male Brains Are Biologically Better Suited For Math And Science, Femail Brains For Empathy (Myth) - Fact Is: There are little differences between male and women. The hippocampus, involved in memory is usually larger in women, while the amygdala, involved in emotion, is larger in men.
Which is quite contrary to the myth. Actually, these changes are not due to biological but due to cultural expectations.
7. Personality Displays A Right Or Left Brain Dominance (Myth) - Fact Is: The two side of the brain are intricately co-dependent. You will listen that there are two brains in the human being, first is in right-brained and second is left-brained.
Now you generally know that right brain favor to make you more creative or artistic and another concept is, left-brain favor more technical and logical.
This myth has broken, when using the brain-scanning technology and that cleared the concept - there are two hemispheres of the brain most often work together in complex processing.

Ditch These Outdated Items In Your Resume
Your resume can be a sort of stress, especially when you are trying to make yours stand out. So update it by simply removing some outdated items. Number one on the list is to remove your address. In a world dominated by email, you don't need to list your street address and apartment number. Potential employers just want to see where you're located, so simply leave the city and state you reside in. And while you're editing the top portion of your resume, make sure you cut that old email address that might ring unprofessional, like "DancingQueen123" or "AnimalLover678." "Replace it with a professional one. Next, ditch the standard "objective" section. It's obvious that your objective is to get the job, so instead, use that section to list two to three sentences about your professional accomplishments at the top of your resume. On to your experience. Keep your history to a maximum of 10 years. Anything else seems awkward and outdated. For recent college graduates, drop your GPA. While including awards or got academic recognition is fine, your grades are irrelevant. It's more about the degree, not the grades. Finally, ditch "references available upon request." Of course a hiring manager will ask for recommendations, so just expect to provide them if asked, and use the freed-up space to add more to your "summary" section.

Everyone has something to say about what you're eating these days. Well, it feels like everyone, with opinions flying left, right and centre, whether it's vegan, paleo or questioning if intuitive eating is just another way to 'be on a diet'. The latter is especially revealing, as it's a consequence of a mainstream health and wellbeing space that's driven by 'sound bite' advice and a 'fix-it' mentality.
I get it, we're all busy, '5 ways to lose weight fast' is a more appealing proposition than 'take 5 minutes to tune into your body and feel what emotions are disallowing your wellbeing'.
The problem is that natural health care, by its very nature, is a process not a quick fix. It's an individualized journey, requiring your willingness to look withIN. This takes time and courage.
Diving deeper into your psyche, unraveling layers of experiences that have pinched you off from your blueprint of a healthy, BeUtiful body, is not for the faint of heart. Yet, it is precisely this journey, withIN U, that is the medicine for each and every one of us on this planet. Not a painkiller or a vegan protein powder.
You see, 'what' you eat, or whatever label you want to put on your food, is not the thing. And quite frankly, if you're still arguing between vegan, paleo or whatever else, then you are missing the point entirely.
Not 'what', but 'why'.
Your intention, the reason behind your choices. Your 'why', when inspired by your inner wisdom as a practice of self love and self care, is a completely different approach to being informed by what you think you should be eating with no regard for how your body actually feels about it.
The first means that you're looking withIN yourSelf for ways to care for your wellbeing. There is an inherent sense of self-worth, love and appreciation for you and your body here that is the true power in this approach, which then infuses into your choices.
The latter is a symptom of a lack of self-worth and trust in yourSelf, an unwillingness to listen and honour your wisdom, either because you can't slow down enough to hear it, or you give your power away by 'thinking' something needs fixing and that it's an outside job.
A subtle difference, or so it seems, but it is night and day.
I urge you to take 5 minutes now to ask yourself – 'what's your 'why' when it comes to food, exercise and lifestyle?
Something else to be mindful of – there's no 'right' or 'wrong'. Vegan or paleo, they're both right and wrong, all at the same time, because it's not what you eat but why, and what works for you may be different to me, and, this will change over time too.
So, the only meaningful way to care for your wellbeing and eat to support your BeUtiful body is to be present in the moment, stay connected with your inner Self and awake to your wisdom. Doesn't that sound like the recipe for a happy life in any self-help book?
How wonderful that our body is a constant reminder of how to LIVE and LOVE, and when we're not, our body lets us know about it through some kind of discomfort or dis-ease, indicating that something does need to change, but it isn't just our diet.
There is a depth to 'wellbeing' that just cannot be avoided. We are required to dive deep into our well of Being.
I'm not trying to give you the impression that taking Holy Basil isn't a good idea to reduce stress, or that eating more of a plant based diet won't help increase your vitality and life force, generally speaking. What I am trying to say is that these acts, as wonderful as they may be, are not the 'cure', they're a tool. Being U is the cure.
"To thine own self be true."
(Hamlet, Act-1, Scene-III)
With Love

Re: help with a small businessMilleisen Aug 14, 2008 10:48 PM (in response to mar001)You should begin writing a business plan. It will force you to think about all the obstacles you may face, and how you will overcome them. It doesn't have to be a novel, it doesn't have to be a masterpiece, so don't let the idea that it needs to be perfect scare you!
Examples: Competition - are there many laundramats in the area? Location - are you in a visable area? Target Market - Who will your customers be and why will they partonize you?
There is a wealth of information on the internet that will give you a blue print for writing a business plan. If you want to outsource it (ie pay someone else to write it), guys like me will do it, but the more of it you do the better you will know if this venture makes sense for you.
I've noticed over the years that entreprenuers often ignore major red flags that are uncovered while writing a business plan. What I mean is that while you are researching your competition, if you learn that there are 5 laundramats in the area and 2 went under last year, this may be a sign that your area is saturated. That's an extreme example, but my point is that if as you write your plan, let the facts guide your decisions, not your desire to own a business. It could save you thousands in the long run.

Lectures and Seminars
Since 2002, I have lectured as a teacher at Berghs School of Communication, Anders Beckman's School of Design, Konstfack and Sörängens Folkhögskola. I have had creative writing classes and invited students to workshops in storytelling. I have also been a mentor for young copywriters and writers.
How does your language work? Are your texts well disposed? Do your texts engage the readers? Are you tired of your own personal style or do you have trouble with language and tone in different contexts?
I provide individual support and coaching in your writing process no matter what type of texts you write. By sharing texts you have written, you get constructive feedback, advice and support on how to proceed. You can order tutorials in one, three or six hours. The longer the course, the more time for exercises and feedback.
Personal guidance is given in meetings. It can also be done through email, phone or Skype sessions, but my experience is that meetings face to face, always gives the best results.
If you are interested in my lectures or my storytelling courses later this year – send me an email!

The Daily Escape:
Orchha, on the banks of the Betwa River, India – photo by Arian Zwegers cc 2.0
Quite the week: After threatening nuclear war with North Korea, musing about invading Venezuela, and equivocating over Charlottesville, Trump folded two advisory councils and then decided against forming a council on Infrastructure. He also Twitter-attacked more Republican senators than Democrats this week, a bad strategy for someone who can't be sure what Special Counsel Mueller may come up with.
But, according to a Survey Monkey poll as reported by Axios, Trump's statements about Charlottesville have overwhelming support of Republican voters. Survey Monkey asked whether people agreed with a verbatim quote from President Trump on Tuesday:
You had a group on one side that was bad, and you had a group on the other side that was also very violent
Republicans agreed with the Trump comment, 87%-11%. Democrats disagreed, 83%-15%. Independents disagreed, 59%-39%.
When we no longer agree on basic facts, civil debate is impossible.
This is a dangerous moment. America is split. We need to stop fighting about the little things. Wrongo usually is against "slippery slope" arguments, but will make an exception in the case of our Civil War history: What is the objective of removing Civil War statues and monuments? Will their removal change the historical record of slavery?
Of course not. How would supporters of removal say we should polarize the continuum of history? What would be next? Removal of history books that mention the Confederacy or former slave owners?
One of Wrongo's favorite histories of the Civil War is "A Diary from Dixie" by Mary Boykin Chestnut. It is a day-to-day diary of her experience as a southern partisan during the Civil War. Most Civil War historians have read and consulted it in the preparation of their own work. Should we burn the book because it was written by a slave-holding partisan?
Of course not.
Many want to draw a red line regarding slavery and the Civil War, and that is totally understandable. But where to draw it? Can it be drawn in a way that keeps our children in touch with our past, even the sordid bits?
We need to own our history.
We should ignore the false moral equivalencies mentioned by Trump, such as Lee and Washington. Both owned slaves, so statues of Washington must go too. It is true that both owned slaves, but Washington fought to build this country, while Lee fought to destroy it in support of slavery.
Some have pointed to the fact that Jews would never let Auschwitz, Dachau or Buchenwald be taken down. This is another false equivalency. Auschwitz is maintained not to celebrate Nazism, but to show its horrors.
Maybe that IS the lesson: Add interpretation to the Confederate monuments: Make them say that we do not want anyone to forget what happened, and that we want to make sure it can never happen again.
It's Saturday, so we MUST get some distance between where we are as a country now, and where we need to be.
Wrongo's prescription? Brew a cup of Brooklyn's Toby's Estate El Ramo Columbian coffee. El Ramo means the bouquet in Spanish ($14 for 12oz.), close the door, and put on your over-the-ear headphones. Now, listen to G.P. Telemann's "Concerto in G major for Viola, Strings and Basso continuo, TWV 51:G9".
Wrongo and Ms. Right heard it last week at the final summer concert of the New Baroque Soloists at the Washington Meeting House in Washington, Connecticut. Here it is performed live by the Remember Barockorchester, in the Unser Lieben Frauen Church, Bremen, on November 21st, 2015:
The Viola Soloist is Tomoe Badiarova

What is the most that you can do for a craving? Can you match this eight-year-old American boy who drove his father's van to a McDonald's because he just had to have a cheeseburger! Not just him alone, The child even took his four-year-old sister in a shotgun to a McDonald's outlet which was about a mile and a half away from their house.
He followed proper traffic signals, stopped at red lights and allowed traffic to pass before he executed a left turn into the McDonald's in the town of East Palestine in eastern Ohio.
But how did he learn to drive? The Ohio boy said he watched to drive by watching videos on YouTube.
The parents were asleep at home when the child took his sister on his little adventure ride. The father went to bed and the mother fell asleep on the couch with the kids.
Police were alerted by people who saw the boy driving through the town.
Initially, when he pulled up to the drive-through window at the burger joint, the employees there thought it was all a joke. "The workers thought that the parents were in the back, but obviously they weren't," East Palestine patrolman Jacob Koehler told the newspaper.
Seeing the police officers at the spot, the boy started crying because he thought he had done something wrong.
The kids' grandparents were called to take them to the police station. But in the meantime, they got a meal of a cheeseburger, chicken nuggets and fries.
The parents picked up their kids at the police station and no charges were filed, the paper said.

Although the winter of 2011 proved not to be as extreme as in 2010, many parts of the country still experienced sub-zero temperatures for extended periods, resulting in further water damage losses.
With the Met Office predicting another period of extreme winter temperatures, we would like to give you a few tips to help prevent disruption to your business.
If your unit is only used for storage, it is of the upmost importance that if you are not going to keep the unit heated, that the water is shut off and drained down. If you are unable to turn off and drain down then it is vital the building is heated.
During periods when the building is not occupied provisions must be made to ensure the unit is inspected regularly to ensure there is no escape of water from your unit or adjoining units, and that the heating is still operational and maintaining a suitable internal temperature.

We're very sorry to announce that due to venue closures as part of the efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19, the scheduled performances of Anna Karenina in Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide have been cancelled.
If you hold a ticket for these performances, you will have received an email offering you a choice between donating your ticket, receiving a credit, or receiving a refund. See more information about the closures and ticket options here.
This is a situation of unprecedented difficulty for us at The Australian Ballet, as it is for all Australians. We'd like to thank the many generous patrons who have already offered to support the company through this challenging time by choosing to donate their ticket. We look forward to the time when the lights go on, the curtain goes up and we dance for you again.
"There are as many kinds of love as there are hearts …"
Leo Tolstoy's immortal novel becomes an epic ballet. Cinematic staging, Hollywood-worthy costumes and Yuri Possokhov's mesmerising choreography illuminate the tragedy of Anna Karenina, whose desire brings about her ruin.
In the high society of Imperial Russia, a woman must not follow her heart. When Anna meets Vronsky, a handsome young officer, the instant connection between them flames into an affair – with disastrous consequences. Her husband, her relations and her social circle judge Anna ruthlessly, and when Vronsky's passion cools she takes desperate action.
Yuri Possokhov, formerly a principal dancer with Bolshoi Ballet and San Francisco Ballet, has choreographed works on major companies around the world. His Anna Karenina, faithful to Tolstoy's novel, features Finn Ross' projections (including real-time film of the dancers taken during the performance) and Tom Pye's set and costume designs, which conjure the opulence of the era with modern style. The specially commissioned orchestral score by Ilya Demutsky gestures towards the rich grandeur of Tchaikovsky and Prokofiev, and includes a mezzo soprano singing live on stage.
The agonies and ecstasies of Anna's turbulent life are powerfully evoked in the centrepiece of our 2020 season.
Choreography Yuri Possokhov
Composer Ilya Demutsky
Libretto Valeriy Pecheykin based on the novel by Leo Tolstoy
Costume and set design Tom Pye
Lighting design David Finn
Projection design Finn Ross
With Orchestra Victoria, Opera Australia Orchestra and Adelaide Symphony Orchestra
Anna Karenina is a co-production of Joffrey Ballet and The Australian Ballet.
The Australian Ballet's seasons of Anna Karenina are generously supported by The K.M. Christiensen & A.E. Bond Bequest and the Barry Kay Memorial Scholarship Fund.

Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen completed a move from Lille to Napoli on Friday, the Italian club announced.
While financial details were not revealed, the deal was expected to be one of the most expensive transfers in Napoli history, amid reports of a 50 million euro ($60 million) fee.
A big target of Napoli coach Gennaro Gattuso, the 21-year-old Osimhen is coming off a season in which he scored 18 goals in 38 matches across all competitions for Lille.
A quick striker with good mobility, Osimhen gives Gattuso further options because he can play with his back to the goal and is strong in the air.
Osimhens arrival clears the way for forward Arkadiusz Milik to leave Napoli after deciding not to renew his contract.

I have created a survey using Survey123 Connect. There are 59 rows in my survey design spreadsheet but the way they are ordered does not correspond to the way they are ordered in the data output. For instance, row 44 shows up as the very last column following 'CreationDate', 'Creator', 'EditDate' and 'Editor' (which are automatically generated fields not included in my survey design).
What could be causing this, and how can I change the order of these fields manually?
Many thanks.

The Global Dignity Day was celebrated yesterday. In Islamabad, I had the pleasure of attending an event a few days earlier, with Irfan Wahab Khan, Telenor Pakistan's CEO and leader of the company's Emerging Asia Cluster; Right to Play country representative, Iqbal Jatoi, whose chair is Olympic Sports Winner Johan Olav Koss, Norway; and Amir Jahangir, the Mishal Pakistan CEO, who is the Global Dignity's coordinator in Pakistan. True, there were many with Norwegian relations at the meeting, and I joked about that I was perhaps invited just because of my nationality. But it was a worthwhile and educational event. A message by the Norwegian Crown Prince Haakon was screened at the opening. He is one of three persons who in 2006 founded the Global Dignity Initiative; the others are John Hope Bryant, and American poverty eradication activist, and Finnish philosophy professor Pekka Himanen. Crown Prince Haakon is now chairman for the work in Norway. Among other related things, he is also a goodwill ambassador of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and thus an advocate for achieving the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals, adopted in 2015, to be reached by 2030.
As a Masters' degree holder in development studies from the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), studies at UCL-Berkeley and Oslo, and many fieldtrips to developing countries, Crown Prince Haakon knows well that there isn't much dignity for people living in poverty; greater equality and sharing of the world's wealth are required for dignity for all. Speeches about dignity can only be the first step, as was emphasized at the Global Dignity Day events yesterday, in Pakistan and over 70 countries worldwide where the day was observed, especially at schools and colleges.
The idea behind the Global Dignity initiative is to focus on how we can enhance our own dignity, as well as that of others, through the way we treat each other. We see it as a human right to be treated with dignity, respect and decency. We want to be treated as equals, not less and not more than others. In return, we must also treat everyone else with the same respect irrespective of creed and cradle, social status and other differences. Men and women must be treated equally; people with physical or other handicaps, people with different sexual orientations, people of other races, people with low level of formal education, and so on, must all be treated equally. When doing that, we become better ourselves; it enhances our self-respect which is a foundation for showing respect towards others.
We should be able to say: I am not perfect, but as good as I can be. Since I respect myself the way I am, I also respect others the way they are.
Having my background in the education and international development, I have always been concerned about the importance of moral education and ethics. I believe these issues are the basics of all education and development efforts, and they are more important than skills, knowledge, and technological achievements. Today, we are so concerned about the latter, and there may be good reasons for that, too. But the compass that helps us determine our decisions and choices are based on moral and ethical principles and foundations, adjusted to the time, place and context we live in. Obviously, in our time and age, it is difficult to live in dignity without being literate. Also, in Pakistan, indeed in the cities, a minimum of English language is required, especially for the young generation in order to be included in mainstream society and democratic decision-making.
Let me now in the remaining part of my article draw attention to some political aspects related to achieving human dignity, locally and globally, and the rules and regulations that are needed in a society, locally and internationally, so that everyone can be treated right and equally. Everyone must have the right to contribute and receive in a society and community. The old leftist way of saying it is: everyone should contribute to his or her ability and receive to his or her needs. That sounds like a good foundation for human dignity in a society.
In the work sector, it is important that work conditions are regulated; labour unions and other organizations must keep an eye on implementation of rules and regulations, and the legal system must be used to enforce labour laws. That means that hiring and firing must follow the laws and not be arbitrary at the whims of employers; that minimum salaries are paid on time (in Islamabad, 17,500 rupees a month); that women and men are treated equally without any harassment or abuse; that work conditions are safe and orderly; that working hours are fair and overtime paid, and leave time is given as a right; and much more. Fairness in the work sector at large, and each work place, will lead to higher productivity, something that the employer will indeed benefit from.
In developing countries, the informal sector, including extended families, plays a major role for employment. Although there are regulations pertaining to these situations, such as laws against child labour and regulations for domestic workers, monitoring and implementation of the laws are often not possible. There is often little dignity for these workers, and if the workers are not given dignity that also means that the employers do not have dignity.
The day that was observed yesterday, on the third Wednesday of October every year, is name Global Dignity Day, which means that reference is given to how rich countries relate to poor countries, not only how internal conditions are. Today, there are over seventy million refugees in the world, and hundreds of millions of migrants. We should reflect on to what degree people on the move are treated with dignity, more than that, we should ascertain that existing international laws are implemented. All migrants and refugees, also those who risk their lives crossing the Mediterranean Sea from Africa to Europe, and the Syrian refugees whose political views we disagree with, must be treated with dignity – as they, too, must treat each other and us with dignity. The suffering in Indian Occupied Kashmir leaves everything for people to live in dignity.
Professor Evelin Gerda Lindner is a German-Polish psychologist and medical doctor, who now lives in Norway. In recent decades, she has worked on the tragedies of the people in Somalia and the Great Lakes region in Africa (Rwanda and Burundi). She is the founder of the Network for Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies, and has written several books about the issues; annual are organised conferences and a virtual university has been established.
Just now, Professor Lindner is at home with her 95-year old father in Germany. He lost his wife a few years ago; he needs to live in dignity in his waning years of life. His daughter can help him in that, and they will both gain from it. Jesus said in the Bible (Luke 6:31 and Matthew 7:12) that we should do unto others what we want others to do unto us, a commandment as important as to love God. This Golden Rule, as it is called, enhances our dignity and makes us better human beings.

Fast Food Restaurants Resolution is to Change Their Image
Fast Food restaurant chains have proclaimed their New Year's resolution to be dropping the junk.
As the vast majority of people express their distaste for the food they believe to be overly processed, Taco Bell, McDonald's and other fast food chains are attempting to shed the reputation for serving meals that are reheated and loaded with different chemicals.
Included in that is rethinking artificial preservatives use as well as other ingredients that customers have come to find as objectionable.
CEO Greg Creed of Yum Brands, which is the owner of Pizza Hut, KFC and Taco Bell, said demand for real and fresh is rising quickly.
During a presentation Creed gave last month for investors and analysts, he said the company needed to become more transparent with its ingredients and use far fewer preservatives.
Recasting its fast food as real and fresh will not be easy. One big reason is that it is regarded so universally as greasy and cheap.
Another big problem is that words such as healthy, real and fresh have meanings that are nebulous, making it difficult for businesses to pinpoint how to approach change.
One way that chains are looking into redefining themselves is purging recipes of the chemicals people are likely to find unappetizing.
Packaged beverage and food companies have already reformulated some products to removed those type of ingredients, even while remaining behind their safety'
For instance, PepsiCo said it is removing Gatorade's brominated vegetable oil after a teenager's petition went viral that noted it is not approved to be used in some overseas markets.
Last month, Mike Andres the USA President at McDonald's outlined company improvements including simplification of labels with ingredients.
Without giving any details, Andres said customers should expect changes in the early part of 2015. His remarks came following the company reporting a decline of 4.6% in sales in the U.S. for November, capping a struggling performance that has lasted for two years.
Andres commented that why does McDonald's need preservatives in the food if it goes through the food so quickly.

Perth & Kinross Council appeal for foodbank donations
Foodbanks across the Perth and Kinross region are appealing for donations as demand for their service is rising.
Foodbanks and community larders have stayed open under the most recent UK Government guidance as they are a vital service, but donations are needed as people stay at home.
Businesses, including SSE, have provided drivers and vehicles to help get the food to those who need it. Local supermarkets and FareShare have also been supporting the efforts to get food to those who most need it. Any other business support would be welcomed.
To ensure that foodbanks will continue to provide the support that will be needed, the Foodbank Network and other Community Food Organisations, supported by Perth & Kinross Council, are asking people to donate food via local supermarkets when they are doing their essential weekly shop.
Many supermarkets across the region have dedicated drop off points, including two new locations in Blairgowrie. A full list is below.
You can also donate money to Perth and Kinross Foodbank via the website where a standing order form is available to print and complete (with a Gift Aid form) to enable a bank transfer payment.
Alternatively, a cheque can be made payable to Perth and Kinross Foodbank and posted to their premises in Perth. Similarly, Broke not Broken assist householders across Kinross and would also welcome donations - please visit the website for more details.
If your workplace or own business can provide support to Community Food Organisations, either through the donation of non-perishable items, fresh produce, toiletries or through financial assistance, please contact email@example.com.
Larger food donations from local businesses can be delivered to safe place in Perth City Centre by appointment (arranged via firstname.lastname@example.com or contacting 0345 30 111 00).
The types of food currently needed are:
- tinned tomatoes
- jars of pasta sauce
- tinned vegetables
- tinned beans
- tinned meat or tinned fish
- tinned fruit
- small packs of cereal

Air Compressors
Compressed Air Best Practices® Magazine interviewed Dr. Jay Varadaraj, (Managing Director) of ELGi Equipments Ltd. ELGi today is one of the world's leading manufacturers of air compressors. Like most companies, however, it started with one ambitious person. My grandfather, Lakshminaickenpalayam Govindaswamy (this where the "L" and "G" in ELGi come from) was a bus driver for the British in 1918. He purchased one bus and proceeded to build a fleet peaking at 300 buses. He believed he was in the transportation business so he entered the airline business ultimately withdrawing however when this industry was nationalized.
Boeing Canada Winnipeg (BCW) has been recognized with the best improvement project of 2013 within the Boeing enterprise worldwide. A cross-functional project team including BCW staff, Manitoba Hydro technical support, and design engineers from Alliance Engineering Services, Inc. used innovative high-pressure storage to reduce the required size of their air compressors and save substantial utility energy and demand charges.
Most of us understand each individual has a unique DNA combination. Compressed air is very similar, each compressed air system should be uniquely designed so the system performs in harmony. Properly managing the compressed air system requires an investigative audit to understand the nuances of the system and identify the most effective solution(s) for efficiency. Not investigating the system, before selecting improvements, would be like consenting to surgery without having an exam. Yet, this frequently occurs in businesses operating compressed air systems.
Northwest Pump & Equipment was founded in 1959 - opening three branches on the same day in Portland, Seattle and Spokane. The business focus was to distribute petroleum equipment for the oil and gas market – primarily to service stations and oil jobbers. In-ground fuel tanks, hoists, lubrication equipment, lighting, farm pumps, air compressors and other gas pumping equipment were our primary product lines back when there were "Full-Service Gas Stations". Over the years, this successful business model was expanded so the Company did business in California, Hawaii, Washington, Alaska, Arizona, Nevada, Idaho, and Montana.
This is a corn mill processing cornstarch, sugar, and other byproducts. Ambient air is contaminated with extremely high levels of dust due to the manufacturing processes and material handling. Average electric rates at the plant are $0.04 / kWh. The actual plant electric cost for compressed air production is $553,630 per year.
This glass bottle production plant had a complete compressed air audit in 2001 and 2002 at which time many successful projects reduced and stabilized the demand at 3,148 scfm at 95 psig for the high pressure system air and 9,300-9,500 scfm at 58 psig for the low pressure system. Successful application of an oversized 7,200-scfm rated cycling refrigerated dryer completely dried up the high-pressure air, allowing the removal of several non-performing desiccant dryers and savings in direct kW and purge air.
Not long ago most air compressors were controlled with mechanical pressures switches, relays and gauges. The setup of these units, especially when attempting to coordinate multiple compressors could be a frustrating and fruitless experience because often, no sooner than the controls were correctly adjusted, some sort of mechanical gremlin would throw something out of adjustment again.
Air System Pressure Influences Compressor Power - Part 3: The Influence of System Pressure on Compressed Air Demand
Energy conservation measures (ECM) associated with compressed air have received a significant amount of attention over the years, mostly due to a reasonably short financial return compared with other energy consuming equipment. Over time many of the corrective actions put forward to reduce compressed air energy consumption have been simplified with the goal of encouraging action. Although this is done with the best of intentions, sometimes simplifications and generalizations do not necessarily lead to positive results. One of the most common energy conservation measures for compressed air that leverages best practice calculations involves reducing system pressure. It is the objective of this series of articles to highlight some of the more common issues associated with estimating energy conservation resulting from changing system pressure.
The rise in energy prices is an unwelcome reality in today's manufacturing and business environment. And while the rate of price increases for natural gas, heating oil and electricity may vary from year to year, the upward trajectory is clear. Energy cost reduction strategies are vital to staying competitive. Compressed Air Best Practices® Magazine recently discussed heat recovery, from industrial compressed air systems, with the Compressed Air and Gas Institute's (CAGI) Technical Director, Rick Stasyshan and with CAGI member – Werner Rauer of Kaeser Compressor. Their inputs should provide you with some insight in energy-saving technology.
When compressed air is generated, heat is inevitably produced as a by-product. Anyone looking to enhance efficiency can use this heat and increase the efficiency of compressors to about 95 percent as a result. To achieve this, there are easy-fit heat exchangers which can be fitted to existing air compressor stations. This investment often pays for itself within less than a year.

Marriages at Horton, 1567 to 1812
Note. – The Registers of Horton to 1812 are contained in three books. Volume I consists of 68 parchment leaves (of which three are loose), measuring 7 ½ in. by 10 ¾ in. It is bound in a limp parchment cover, and is in fair condition, tough as three leaves of Baptisms are loose, the churchwardens would be well advised to have the volume carefully rebound. The Baptisms, 1567 to 1746, occupy the first 35 folios; ff. 16a and 36 are blank. Then follow the Marriages, 1567 to 1746, from fo. 37 to fo. 46, with the considerable gap of 36 years, from 1624 to 1660, fo. 46a is blank, fo. 47 is blank, but on fo. 47a are entered three Burials of 1745-46. On fo. 48 commence the Burials, 1567 to 1746. The Burials continue with regularity to 1620, then on the same page, without break or explanation, begins the year 1661, and then the entries continue to 1746, the last of them, as already stated, being on fo. 47a. Between the entries of 1740 and 1741 is a short list of excommunicated persons from 1663 to 1668. On the last page is a note of the burial of Wm. Murford, 1670, "in the Quakers' burial place towards Bristol", and of Wm. Higgs and Eleanor his wife, Anabaptists, buried "in the garden of James Nobbs, sen." In order of date appears also this entry, "1698, James Nobbs, a great Anabaptist, was buryed in Tho. Howell's garden July the 22th".
Volume II commences in 1747, and ends in 1786. It includes besides Baptisms and Burials, Marriages to 1786. It is of forty-one parchment leaves, measuring 8 in. by 12 ¾ in., and is bound in soft calf boards. It is in good condition.
Volume III :- For particulars see in loco, p. 12 post.
These extracts have been made by Miss Olive M. Begbie, and are now printed under her supervision by leave of the Rev. A. J. Begbie, rector of Horton. The proof has been carefully collated with the Register.

Control Description Language

Properly designed and implemented building control sequences can significantly reduce energy consumption. However, there is currently no process with supporting tools that allows the assessment of the performance of different control sequences, export the control sequences in a vendor-neutral format for cost estimation and for implementation on a building automation system through machine-to-machine translation, and reuse the sequences for verification during commissioning.
This paper describes a Control Description Language (CDL) that we developed to create such a process. For CDL, we selected a subset of Modelica that allows a convenient representation of control sequences, simulation of the control sequence coupled to a building energy model, and development of translators from CDL to building automation systems. To aid in the development of such translators, we created a translator from CDL to a JSON intermediate format. In future work, we seek to work with building control providers to develop translators from CDL to commercial building automation systems.
Through a case study, we show that CDL suffices for simulation-based performance assessment of two ASHRAE-published control sequences for a variable air volume flow system of an office building. Moreover, the case study showed that merely due to differences in the control sequences, annual HVAC energy use was reduced by 30%. This difference is larger than the accuracy required when comparing different HVAC systems, thereby questioning the current practice of idealizing control sequences in building energy simulations, and demonstrating the importance of ensuring that the control sequence used during design simulations corresponds to the control sequence that will be implemented in the real building

The reports of millions of southern Sudanese voting in the referendum on independence are a reminder that democracy and self-rule are not a luxury that only the rich can afford. While there has been violence, some of it apparently the fault of northern Sudan, the overall picture is remarkably positive.
The BBC has supplied a useful but oddly inadequate set of maps showing that Sudan is by most standards two nations already. For while the BBC maps show ethnicity and a variety of other differences between north and south, curiously they avoid the subject of religion. Yet it is religion as much as any other factor that divides the Muslim Arab north from the Christian and animist south.
I visited southern Sudan almost exactly ten years ago, in January 2001, and it was the religious divide that concerned most people with whom I spoke. Simply put, they were Christian and did not believe they would ever truly be equal citizens under an Arab regime in Khartoum. In reaching that conclusion they certainly had modern Sudanese history on their side. Moreover, Sudan borders on Egypt and those who were educated and politically active were aware that Egypt had a Christian minority that was always facing one sort of trouble or another. Everyone in southern Sudan was aware of the suffering the governments in the north had inflicted on the south, and most wanted to break off—as the predictions of an over 90 percent vote for independence suggest.
There are many ways of seeing the independence vote, but surely one is the failure here—again—of an Arab government to make it possible for Christians to live in peace and security. In fact the only Christian community in the Middle East that appears to be growing is that in Israel. The last few weeks have seen violence against Christians in Egypt and Iraq, and the rise of Hezbollah in Lebanon has cornered the Maronite community there in many ways as well. Here the southern Sudanese are lucky, for the geography of those other countries makes thoughts of independence for their Christian minorities impossible. Christians in most of the Middle East will have to continue their difficult struggle for civil equality, personal safety, political power, and full religious freedom.

Our family overslept on a recent Sunday, and, having missed our regular Mass, we went to church at a neighboring parish. The deacon giving the homily that day spoke about his anguish over a survey reportedly showing that two thirds of Catholics did not believe that Christ was actually present in the bread and wine at Mass.
After Mass I remarked to Jacob, 14, that when the deacon spoke of the statistic, my feelings were the opposite of his: I had been filled with amazement and gratitude that on the day of that survey, fully a third of the people asked could say that they believed the bread and wine were Christ. I told Jacob I thought it showed tremendous faith that so many people could believe in something that would be so impossible to prove.
"Of all the things the Catholic Church teaches, that's my hardest thing to believe," Jacob admitted. "Sometimes I can, and sometimes I just can't."
The Eucharist, so central to our faith as Catholics, is also elusive. Our theology of Eucharist, as explained in the Catechism of the Catholic Church, says that as the priest begins the part of the Eucharistic Prayer recalling the night of the Last Supper ("On the night he was betrayed . . . " in one version), the bread and wine on the altar truly become the Body, Blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ, although the appearances and properties of bread and wine remain. The church calls this transformation of the gifts of bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ "transubstantiation."
Believing in this, as Jacob noted, can be tough.
Perhaps, though, if we understand that faith in the Eucharist does not begin and end at our First Communion but rather is a lifelong process of deepening our understanding of what the sacrament means, we can cut ourselves a little slack.
The Eucharist gives us grace. You don't need to know there are about 90 calories in a banana in order to receive energy from that banana. Christ gives us grace through the Eucharist whether we understand it or not. The Eucharist is a mystery, but the grace we receive to be people of love and compassion can be seen all around us. "I feel like I receive grace every time I take the Eucharist," says Amy, mother of four. …continued next week
