LCR-Reader and new LCR-Reader-MPA was at Nepcon Vietnam, September 11-13 2019.
Siborg Systems Inc presented LCR-Reader-MPA at Nepcon Korea in Seoul from May 15 - 17, 2019
Siborg took LCR-Reader-MPA and LCR-Reader to Nepcon South China, April 24-26 2019.
Now Available: LCR-Reader-MPA, New Generation of MPSiborg has released a new model in the MP line, the LCR-Reader-MPA. The device features a new design with lighter weight, easier-to-read display, and 4 way-joystick navigation button. Features include 3 test signal levels, more accurate LED testing, and 0.1% basic accuracy.
Instead of the old method of approximating the size of a component using the tweezers' tips, the Offset Calibration Board gives accurate measurements each time. Just set the Smart Tweezers or Colibri device to 10kHz and place the tips into the corresponding holes to the component you are measuring. The device will give the capacitance offset value that can be subtracted from the actual value of the component. This Board is also useful with Smart Tweezers' Semi-Automatic Offset Subtraction feature.
The Offset Calibration Board is available in the LCR-Reader Store and is also included in all Smart Tweezers' Pro and Plus Task Kits.
Navair Technologies Calibration Results Siborg Receives LCR-Readers Calibration Results from Navair Technologies.
One of the problems with Smart Tweezers LCR-meter has been the price point. Depending on the region and resellers, Smart Tweezers can be from $300 to $700. Criticism about the screen being crowded has also been sounded on the ST5 model. For companies and professionals using Smart Tweezers, there are few issues, but for the everyday hobbyist, the price point is far too high. Siborg had attempted creating a new device with a lower price (not featuring a 1 Volt test signal) but the price cut was only 20%, and would not affect the overall market.
Around a year ago, development of the LCR-Reader began, based on the availability of new microchips and ideas of how to simplify the circuit without losing much of the accuracy. The result evolved into the prototype pictured (Fig 1.), a physically smaller and lighter device and cheaper manufacturing cost (compared to the Smart Tweezers LCR-meter).
The new LCR-Reader is powered by a Li-Ion battery, rechargeable via micro-USB. The device features a lower weight, with about 0.5% basic accuracy.Similarities to the Smart Tweezers models include the gold-plated tweezer tips that have attributed to Smart Tweezers identifiable design, a one-button navigation, and a Li-Ion battery that charges via micro-USB. The new device features a 0.5% basic accuracy, which is slightly lower than the ST5 model, but the same as the ST2 model. The button navigation provides a simple touch solution to switching modes of operation; A (Automatic component recognition), R (Resistance), L (Inductance), C (Capacitance), and ESR (Equivalent Series Resistance). All measurements are automatic, test signal amplitude is 0.5 Vrms, test frequency is automatically selected according to the component type and value.
First, you need to decide what you want your device to do; both ST-5S and LCR-Reader will automatically identify the type of component and measure for L, C, R and ESR instantly. The main differences between the devices is the functions they preform. The pen-sized device is just 1 oz. weight, making it perfect to stow in a bag or pocket. Both use a Li-Ion battery with micro-USB charging that last up to 80 hours continuous use. All measurements are instantly displayed on a bright OLED display that makes reading the screen easy even in less than suitable conditions.
The ST-5S is best for professionals and companies alike that require more features for better customizing specific measurements, as well as coming with an NIST traceable calibration certificate. The ST-5S allows user to change the test signal (with 0.5 and 1.0 Vrms), as well as variable tolerances of 1%, 5%, 10%, and 20%. This device also does continuity and diode testing, and showed active and reactive impedance components on the display. As one of the features that saves times for users, a semi-automatic offset subtraction feature automatically removes parasitics after set-up. The ST-5S is controlled by a joystick-like navigation; pushing the button directionally will change the test mode, test signal, etc., while pressing the joystick will open the menu to allow more customized measurements and features like changing the screen orientation.
The LCR-Reader is a more budget-friendly model along the same lines as the Smart Tweezers models. While the look and feel of the LCR-Reader is the same as the ST-5S; the LCR-Reader is a more stripped down version, with the basic functions to get the job done. This model does not come with a calibration certificate, or have features such as component sorting, diode, continuity or open circuit testing, nor variable test signals, utilizing only a 0.5 Vrms test signal. The LCR-Reader has a one-button navigation that changes the test mode with each press. The main selling feature of the LCR-Reader is the price, retailing for less than $200 nearly half the price of the ST-5S.

Locksmith Arcadia
There are quite a few different types of car keys, with different technologies implemented inside them this depends on the make, model and year of your car. The different car keys you might come across are:-
Mechanical Blade – This is a key which looks similar to that for your house, when inserted into the ignitions it disables the steering lock allowing the key to turn. It may also be used for the trunk or glove compartment depending on your vehicles model. These keys are laser keys made with specific laser cutting equipment.
Transponder Chip Key – This is a key which has a code inside the plastic part of the key. Most vehicles made within the last 15 years will use an electronic transponder chip. The idea of the electronic transponder key is to reduce theft. The key works only with your vehicles onboard computer which recognizes the keys unique code and allows the engine to start. Modern cars use an immobilizer so if the wrong key is inserted into the ignition the vehicle will not start, the mechanical key may open the doors and turn but it will not start the vehicle
Remote Control – Most vehicles come with a remote control, it will unlock and lock the doors, trunk and arm or disable the alarm it works through a radio transmitter or infrared which sends a coded message to the receiver fitted inside the car. Some newer models no longer have a mechanical blade, they have a plastic end which is inserted into the ignition to start the car even newer models use a complete keyless system that senses when you are close to the vehicle and unlocks it for you. You will not have an ignition key just a button to push to start your vehicle.
Rolling Codes – Is a transponder chip key which uses rolling codes for added security, each time you use your key it will the transponder code will change. These keys are pretty difficult to replace when lost.
Mater Keys – Mainly dealers use master keys to program new replacement keys, these are costly to replace if lost. Most manufacturers have stopped using this system, instead they hold car security information in a database which can be used to reprogram keys.
To make a new key can be quite tricky especially if you find yourself travelling from location to location and lose your key. If you go to your dealer you will incur the costs of towing and the key replacement, which is quite an annoyance and more costly. Using a mobile locksmith in all lost key, broken key, key extractions, ignition replacement or repair, car lockouts and trunk lockouts will be the quickest, easiest and most affordable option for you. Mobile locksmith are very well trained and experienced they can fix just about anything with ease. So when you need new car keys just call for a mobile locksmith most are 24 hours if you find yourself in an emergency.

It's no secret that many marijuana lovers believe that having a puff before turning on a favorite album or settling in to watch a movie can make the experience just that much better, but why is that? The answer is somewhat paradoxical, according to Dr. Ethan Russo—a cannabis researcher from Prague, who says it all has to do with how cannabis affects memory.
"One thing we know well is that THC produces short-term memory impairment…when somebody's used cannabis and they say they've lost their train of thought, that's one of the known effects," Russo told The GrowthOp.
As Russo explains, THC reduces a person's ability to focus on the big picture. This in turn allows for more focus on the finer details. And once you start zeroing in on the subtleties of a painting, song or movie you will probably understand it in a much different way.
"Altered states of consciousness can offer a different experience and, therefore, a different perspective on the source of stimulation," Russo said. "Cannabis can sharpen senses for certain activities…people say they've never 'heard it' or 'seen it' that way before."
And when speaking of visual art more specifically, cannabis may enhance the experience in other ways. Some studies have shown that consuming cannabis can improve a person's night vision, which might increase their ability to pick out details in an image.
"The retina is very rich in cannabinoid receptors," said Russo.
Dr. Anjan Chatterjee, a researcher who studies neruoaestetics—the field interested in how people perceive 'aesthetic' experiences—says that THC might also be interacting with the parts of the brain most active when a person is taking in art.
"If the work is colorful, parts of the brain that engage with color are activated," explains Dr. Chatterjee. "If there's motion, even in something abstract like a Jackson Pollock that showcases 'movement,' the motion centers in the occipital cortex are involved with that. And those perceptions differ when you're looking at something static like a Piet Mondrian."
When THC is ingested neurons in your brain begin to fire more quickly, giving you that racing mind feeling. It's possible that this encourages creative thinking, and may strengthen the affects art has on the different parts of the brain that Chatterjee discusses.
We still don't really know why cannabis makes some people feel more creative, but it doesn't seem to be some kind of placebo effect either. And while smoking up might not ensure you become the next big thing in the art world, it might just help you finally understand modern art.

Sussex children's charity Rockinghorse has given away £50,000 worth of funding for projects to benefit young people across the county.
The charity allocated the grants to 10 different projects at local hospitals, neonatal units and children's services during a presentation event at the end of April.
Based in Brighton, Rockinghorse supports sick and disadvantaged babies, children and young people. It is best-known as the official fundraising arm of the Royal Alexandra Children's Hospital (the Alex), which was the main beneficiary of the £50,000 funds awarded.
Staff from the Alex met with Rockinghorse trustees and the charity's Chief Executive, to present their funding requests in a 'Dragons' Den' style process. Successful applicants were delivered the good news there and then.
Ryan Heal, Chief Executive of Rockinghorse children's charity, explains, "The initiative proved to be a positive way of releasing funds for much needed projects, whilst meeting with many department representatives from across the hospital face to face.
"It is the perfect example of how we as a charity can impact the children's hospital effectively, innovatively, and immediately."
Through its fundraising, the charity raises money for life-saving and cutting-edge medical equipment. It also funds projects which focus on improving a young person's physical and emotional well-being, as well as funding additional support services for parents and carers.
The list of equipment being funded, includes; blood pressure monitors for the surgical ward, reflux detection machines for the paediatric gastro-enterology service, Panoptic Ophthalmoscopes for the children's emergency department, and additional diabetes equipment.
The Alex is also the beneficiary of funding which will enable the hospital to introduce two key new services to its centre of excellence. The first is a paediatric orthopaedic emergency virtual clinic to support children with suspected fractures.
Thomas Crompton, children's orthopaedic consultant at the Alex, explains more, "A twice-weekly fracture clinic is currently provided by the Alex, which sees almost 5,000 young patients a year.
"In order to reduce travel between hospital sites or departments, the virtual clinic will allow a consultant orthopaedic surgeon to view the X-ray remotely and make an individual plan for each patient.
"Senior physios will then liaise directly with patients and their parents to determine the next steps. This will be supported by online information and videos, so that children can have a visual understanding of what's happening."
The second service to be funded by Rockinghorse at the Alex is the Function First Service. Following a two-year pilot, the allocated funding will enable it to become a permanent fixture at the children's hospital in Brighton.
The Function First Service is better known as the Complex Symptoms Service. It is a multidisciplinary team of specialised professionals who are providing a service for children and young people with medically unexplained symptoms.
Jo Lord from the Function First Service, explains more, "The service is the first of its kind in the UK, bringing together all forms of medically explained and/or functional illnesses under one umbrella.
"Our aim is to ensure that we are not just an evidence-based service, but a pioneering and evolving one that will contribute to ground-breaking research.
"Having a permanent service like this for children and their families to access is of huge importance and benefit to young people within the catchment area of the Alex, right across Sussex."
Other hospitals to benefit from Rockinghorse funds are Worthing Hospital and St Richard's Hospital in Chichester. The Alex is expanding its children's cystic fibrosis (CF) and chest centre into West Sussex via both hospitals.
Funding from Rockinghorse will enable the service to purchase a portable lung function machine. The equipment will be used to treat young patients with CF and other chronic chest problems, such as asthma and bronchiectasis.
Rockinghorse Chief Executive, Ryan Heal, says, "It is with great pleasure that we are able to award grants totalling £50,000 to some very worthy recipients.
We are extremely proud to be supporting vital services and ground-breaking projects through our fundraising, as we continue to make a difference to the lives of young people in Sussex."

Marriage Is a Team Sport
It Takes Three Players with One Common Goal
By: Patricia Mitchell
Soccer is a popular sport in our home, and at one time or another—and often simultaneously—all four of our children have played the game.
They have been on winning teams and losing teams, and the difference was not always due to skill level or natural talent. Players on successful teams worked together with a collective sense of mission; they supported one another, covered for one another's weak spots, and encouraged everyone to do his or her best. And no matter what the final win-loss record, these were the teams that had the most fun.
In my experience, this "team" approach is one of the most useful and rewarding ways to think of marriage. Perhaps it won't strike you as very romantic. However, when husbands and wives think of themselves as a unit and work together with a sense of mission, they experience a oneness that benefits every area of their relationship, romance included.
A man and woman who enter into a Christian marriage know that they have another player on their team—the One whose presence makes all the difference. The Catechism of the Catholic Church explains: Christ "dwells with them, gives them the strength to take up their crosses . . . and to love one another with supernatural, tender, and fruitful love" (1642).
In the face of our own failings and weaknesses, what a relief to know that our team consists not only of ourselves, but most especially of Jesus! It is to him that we can turn daily for strength, mercy, forgiveness, and love.
In Sync? While my husband, John, and I were engaged, I remember carefully observing the marriages of our older friends. Some of these couples seemed to be especially "in sync" with each other—by their actions and overall approach to life, you could see that they were headed in the same direction. A certain energy and joy seemed to radiate in the homes where spouses had this unity of vision and action.
Achieving the common vision that makes it possible to work as a team doesn't happen automatically. It takes a real effort to discuss and decide on a few key goals that can form a basic mission statement. Some important questions to explore with your spouse:
• What is the purpose of our lives and of our call to marriage?
• What do we want to accomplish?
• What do we value most?
When John and I discussed these questions, we already had similar visions for our married life. Family was important to us—we both come from large, close-knit families—and we knew that God was calling us to devote most of our time and energy to raising our own. For this reason, we purposely decided to limit our career aspirations. We wanted to provide for our family, but without having to spend so much time at work that we wouldn't have time for our children or each other.
Over the years, my husband and I have continued to revisit our mission statement. It's a practice that can serve as a reality check and a way to identify those subtle, differing approaches that can creep in and undermine a common vision. We review specific aspects of our life together and keep asking, What is our goal? How can we work toward it together? Here are some of the things we have learned—and continue to learn—about taking a team approach to relating to God, raising children, and serving outside the family.
Prayer Partners. How can husbands and wives help one another grow closer to the Lord? It's important to pray together, of course. As a team, you can intercede for the needs of your families and friends. But consider, too, how to give one another opportunities for regular time alone with God.
One spouse might give the other a quiet prayer environment by taking the kids out of the house for a half hour each day. Or, with your partner's help and encouragement, you might be able to include a weekday Mass in your schedule. If your parish is having a special event, such as a Lenten or Advent Bible series, perhaps you can take turns attending.
It can be difficult to pursue this goal, I know. When my children were babies, I was often frustrated in my attempts to find time for personal prayer. I looked forward to weekends, when my husband didn't have to leave early for work; we took a "tag team" approach—he would pray first, then watch the kids while I prayed. It may be hard, but don't give up! Ask the Holy Spirit to inspire you with creative ideas.
A Vision for Parenting. When it comes to raising children, it is crucial to work as a united team with the same over-all, long-term vision. Do you and your spouse talk about how to encourage your children in their own relationship with God? Are you agreed on the kind of adults you would like them to become? About the virtues and values you would like to help them develop? Seek the Lord's plan for your children, and keep this vision in mind as you make decisions.
Choosing a school (or choosing to homeschool), establishing guidelines for media and Internet use, finding ways to encourage a child's natural abilities—these are just a few of the areas that call for "team" prayer and decisions. As you discuss them, ask yourself whether you are open to your spouse's perspective about what might be best for an individual child. John and I have actually come to value the fact that we sometimes have differing viewpoints. It can be hard work to arrive at a shared understanding, but the end result is usually a better decision.
Remember that team members stick together. If you disagree with your spouse about an issue involving your child, bring it up in private and not in front of the child. With children, a united front is always best! It took me some time to absorb this truth. As a protective mother, I was sometimes quick to interfere in my husband's attempts to correct our children. When he pointed out that I was undermining his authority, I realized that he was right. He didn't have a problem with discussing the situation later and in private; in fact, he welcomed it. But it was vital for me to learn that there was an appropriate—and an inappropriate—time to voice my opinion.
Outside the Family Circle. Is God calling you or your spouse, or perhaps the two of you, to some service outside the family? Working at a soup kitchen, being on the parish council, organizing a fund-raiser, teaching religious education—even if only one of you is actually going to be involved in a service, you have to approach it as a team because it will involve sacrifices for you both. If you have an evening meeting to attend, for example, your spouse may have to be avail-able to help the children with their homework and put them to bed.
When my children were babies, it was especially difficult for me to let go of my husband in the evening, when I was tired but still had to be "on duty." But because we had agreed that he should be involved in the Christian service he was doing, I wanted to support him in it. It was an opportunity for him to grow closer to the Lord, and God was also forming me to be more generous with my time and to "stretch" a bit for the sake of his kingdom.
Today, with our children leaving the nest, my husband and I still find ourselves working on our team approach. Certainly, we haven't had a perfect season—there have been losses among the wins! We've made some poor decisions, and even now it can be a struggle to arrive at a common goal and vision. And yet, even in our weakness, we experience God's faithfulness.
In your own marriage, may you too come to a deeper and deeper knowledge of the unifying power of God's love. May you find Jesus present with you, leading you to a united vision.

Our know-how as well as the technical, economical and methodological competences are provided as part of our holistic consulting-approach. Tailored, appropriate and custom specific SAP solutions are our common goal.
SAP IBP has its origin in the balance of supply and demand of S&OP (Supply & Operations Planning), taking financial aspects and strategic planning into account for the operational business.
S&OP often focused on demand management and neglected the overall picture of strategic supply chain planning, including finance and logistics as key elements of a holistic supply chain.
From a business perspective, the main difference between S&OP and IBP is that S&OP focuses on balancing supply and demand. While IBP takes a company's strategic view into account by reconciling strategic and operational aspects for improved overall performance.
IBP enables significantly improved simulation and modelling of supply chain activities to provide management with better information for their decision-making processes and – ultimately – improved profit. It helps to master the challenge of enterprise-wide planning, processes through integrated supply chain technology that delivers accurate figures on key logistics and financial factors at both the strategic and operational levels.
A clearly defined structure and a set of methods is essential to maximize the benefits of IBP. This starts with a clear understanding of the planning horizon, the necessary planning processes, the network structure and process management.
Finding the right team for the right tasks is essential for a successful IBP implementation. This includes efficient project planning, a clear focus on change management for processes and people and an orientation towards iterative system integration by using the right enablers at the right time.
We enable your team with lean automation to make your business safer, faster and more agile. We adapt state-of-the-art test products which support over 40 technologies (HTML, Java, .Net, JSON) and which can be smoothly integrated in various IT systems. Thus, end-to-end test scenarios can be fully automated across a wide range of applications (access, SAP, browser, API, mail, mobile). As a by-product at the touch of a button documentations are generated.

What is Depression? Depression Symptoms/Signs and How to Overcome Depression Problems
What is Depression
Understanding mental health is often called not as easy as understanding physical health problems, because of the invisible features, such as scars or high blood pressure that can be a marker of disease in a physical health examination.
Depression, for example, is sometimes unaware of its appearance, even by people who experience it, because people do not recognize the characteristics of depression they experience. Depression can be interpreted as a condition of psychological disorders characterized by feelings of sadness or deep emptiness. Depressed people usually feel that they are entering a deep, dark, and difficult hole to get out of there.
Causes of Depression
Depression is one of the most common mental illnesses experienced by people. Unfortunately, until now it is not known exactly what causes this condition. However, some experts believe that this condition can occur due to several factors, including:
Genetic factors
Most researchers suspect that if you have parents or siblings who experience this condition, then you have the opportunity to experience it as well.
Biological factors
This condition can be caused due to levels of chemical compounds in the brain (neurotransmitters) that regulate mood imbalances. When chemical compounds in the brain are in short supply, this can cause a series of symptoms known as clinical depression.
Did you know that women have a higher risk of depression than men? Yes, women are known to be twice as susceptible to depression due to the influence of hormonal changes that occur during their lives.
The use of banned drugs and alcohol can actually trigger this disorder. In fact, prescription drugs given by doctors can also cause this condition.
History of certain diseases
Your psychological and physical condition are closely related to each other. So, if you experience physical health problems, you might also experience psychological problems too.
Frequently, stress and pain due to chronic illness can trigger severe depression. Certain diseases, such as thyroid disorders, Addison's disease, and liver disease, can also cause symptoms of depression.
Childhood trauma
Childhood trauma has a profound effect on a person's psychological condition as an adult. Some bad events such as sexual harassment, parental loss, or parental divorce can trigger this condition.
Poor diet
Who would have thought, this condition could also be caused by your poor diet. For example, if you often eat sweet foods.
The study found that a diet high in sugar was associated with this mental disorder. Low vitamin and mineral intake can also cause this condition.
Severe and chronic stress
Do you feel you are under constant pressure? Be careful, these conditions can trigger severe stress which ultimately causes depression. The researchers suspect that cortisol hormone levels are constantly high can suppress serotonin levels and eventually trigger symptoms of depression.
Environmental factors
Mental disorders can be caused by things that are encountered every day, such as work. Stacking work, an uncomfortable work environment, to personal problems with the boss or coworkers can trigger a person experiencing depression.
Not only the problem of work, the environment at home or friendship that does not support can also trigger this condition.
Left by loved ones
Is there anything sadder than a loved one? Yes, in many cases, deep sorrow from being left behind or even betrayed by your loved ones can trigger this mental disorder.
Depression Symptoms / Signs of Depression
Are you suffering from depression?
Prevention of depression should be done by recognizing the signs of a person experiencing depression which will be discussed below.
The emergence of Pain
The emergence of pain in the body such as headaches, the neck feels heavy, aches and others. This happens because of excessive stress and a high level of emotion so that the muscles in the body become tense. It is recommended to relax the body. It is important when we experience stress that if left unchecked will make us depressed.
Hard to Think
Someone will have difficulty thinking if there is a disturbance that disturbs his mind. Loss of focus and concentration caused by too much thought is one of the signs of depression. Severe depression can sometimes make people unable to work or study effectively.
Easily Tired.
The burden of thoughts that accumulate also has the potential to drain energy in the body with a fast grunt. Loss of energy causes the body to get tired and weak. One sign of someone who is depressed is that his body is weak and tired so that they are reluctant to do other activities besides feeling depressed and brooding.
As explained above that depression will interfere with our relationships with people around. Usually, people who are depressed will easily get angry, offended, sad and even cry because of things that can be said trivial. People who are depressed usually assume that the people around them are bullies.
Likes to Be Alone
Someone who is depressed will often avoid busy situations and tend to isolate themselves. According to them by being alone they will think better and find solutions to various kinds of life problems. When in fact they only made him fall further into the depression. The striking behavior, when they are in a crowded situation, is that they are quieter.
The brain muscles that become tense due to the increased working intensity of the brain due to too much thought load will affect the underlying nerve movements so that the movements of depressed people tend to be slower. Someone who is depressed does something slow, not as energetically as someone who is not depressed. That is because they lose focus due to excessive thought burdens.
Someone with signs of depression often looks very agitated and experiences a decrease in productivity. This can influence the sufferer to make decisions without thinking carefully which can sometimes endanger himself and others such as killing themselves or killing others.
Prolonged Sadness
Often depression will arise due to the sufferer experiencing extreme sadness that never ends. This happens maybe because of the loss of something valuable or in the life of a loved one. Sadness that never subsides will deepen a person falls into stress that leads to depression.
Loss of Confidence
People who are depressed will experience a loss of self-confidence because they always think negatively even with themselves. They always think that they are negative and feel themselves lacking so they will feel inferior and insecure. This results in those affected by depression will be embarrassed to appear in public and prefer to be alone.
Easy to Panic and Anxious
Signs of anxiety or anxiety can also be a sign that someone is experiencing depression. Someone who is depressed will easily experience anxiety, panic and feeling excessive fear. Moreover, they already have a phobia or something.
A person who is depressed often blames himself, a feeling of guilt always approaches him so that people who are depressed have an uneasy and always restless life. People who are depressed always blame themselves for what they have done or what they have been responsible for that causes other people to be disappointed so that a sense of depression arises.
Chest Pain
Depression does not always attack a person's mind but also attacks the physical. People with depression will feel chest pain either on the right or left.
That is because the sufferer has trouble sleeping, and people who have difficulty sleeping will have an impact on the heart that works harder than normal. People whose hearts are working hard will feel an irregular heartbeat accompanied by chest pain.
Decreased Sleep Quality
A person who is depressed usually makes his body more tired than usual even though previously they did not do strenuous physical activity. The fatigue makes them want to sleep because with sleep they can forget their sadness or the burden of his mind for a while.
However, there are also those who find it difficult to sleep due to the burden of thoughts that continue to interfere even into dreams when they sleep.
Always Think of Death
A person with depression is usually always haunted by death in his mind. How will he die? What will happen to the family after he dies?
These thoughts will continue to haunt the sufferer to make them increasingly fall into depression. If you have reached this stage you should consult with an expert so you can get treatment quickly.
Try Suicide or Self-Injury
This last characteristic is the climax of someone who has reached depression at a severe level. The patient without thinking will try to end his life or not hesitate to hurt himself. This may occur due to the burden of thought or life problems that never end. Usually, they are unconsciously doing that.
How to Overcome Depression Problems
Depression Treatment
Many people underestimate the problem of depression, even though depression is one of the triggers of various diseases. Depression is not just a momentary emotional change and can be quickly changed back to normal. Without proper treatment, depression can interfere with your life with those around you.
A number of studies have shown that meditation can prevent depression and make you calmer in the face of something.
Not only is it healthy for the body, but it is also a way to deal with depression. A healthy body will always stimulate our brains to always have a positive mind.
Manage Food Intake
Eating foods can reduce a person's level of depression. Of course nutritious foods such as foods containing high selenium and magnesium. The content is proven effective in treating depression.
Share with the people closest to you
Sharing stories with people like friends or your friends will reduce the burden on your mind. Depression can arise because you keep all the burdens of your mind alone.
Avoid depression with a vacation. With vacation, your heart and mind will be calmer and happier.
Various ways to deal with depression
Having depression can make you feel helpless. The good news, there are several things you can do to counteract the depression you experience. Some of these include:
Consultation with a psychologist or psychiatrist
It should be understood that mental disorders can be cured with proper treatment. Including, in cases of depression. However, you cannot handle it alone. You need help from others.
Therefore, the first thing you can do to overcome this mental disorder is to consult a doctor/psychologist/ psychiatrist. Do not be afraid or ashamed to seek professional help when you feel you are experiencing some of the symptoms of depression as mentioned above.
In many cases, mental disorders become more serious because someone does not want to seek help and chooses to bury his own problem.
Implement a healthy lifestyle
Experts agree that applying a healthy lifestyle is good for one's mental health. Yes, besides making you fitter and healthier, implementing a healthy lifestyle will also affect your mood every day.
Start by improving your daily diet. Make sure the food you consume every day contains the principle of balanced nutrition which includes carbohydrates, fiber, protein, and good fats. Try to avoid junk food, fast food, and foods that are high in sugar.
In addition to paying attention to food intake, do not forget to multiply your physical activity, such as regular exercise. Exercise has a positive effect on the mood of your heart because the activity of this one helps increase endorphin levels in the body.
However, not everyone that is depressed knows that they are depressed. Telling them to seek for help might help but it is better if we take action to help them instead of asking them to help their own self.
However, some would not seek help.
They think that it is not your burden to bear, and therefore they will suffer more. So please, instead of telling them to get help. Try to take some action and help them.

This plexus is called by modern anatomists the rete mirabile.
The rete mirabile is an interesting survival of Galenic anatomy.
The mucines are also constituents of the cells of the rete malpighi.
The principal one of these, called the 'Rete,' is shewn in Fig. 2.
Drop the disc (fig. 5) within the border of the mother, and the Rete over it.
As the Rete revolves, it points to the different degrees of the border.
The epithelia of the rete mucosum are swollen and stretched.
The principal one of these was the 'Rete' and is shown in Fig. 2.
The main artery of the fore- and hind-limbs breaks up into a rete mirabile of numerous small parallel branches.
Their cheeks may sometimes have a tinge of pink, but this is usually veiled by the darker tint of the "rete mucosum."

It is Ward who punctuates his days: Ward in the morning by the edge of the water in his breeches; Ward's signature high-noon squint; Ward's rangy walk as he patrols the length of the column, his constant interrogation of messengers and locals about the possibility of game; and late-afternoon Ward with his sketchbook, wandering in search of something to draw.
-- Narrator (Part One, Chapter II: Florida)
Importance: This quote shows Casement's romantic feelings for Ward. It occurs when Casement reflects on knowing that Ward makes more money than he does, but not caring simply because he enjoys having Ward around. Casement is in love with Ward and his days revolve around Ward's presence.
And then the sun floods as the elephant tears the curtain of jungle from the brilliant sky and Casement is momentarily blinded as if he is seeing not a beast but the face of God itself."

A Jacket (the fabric should be thick, you can also use any upholstery fabric instead)
Bias tapes, or regular tapes (for finishing off the raw edges)
Sewing supplies
Take the measurement of the back side of the front car seat. (Height 24" and width 17") Place the jacket on a flat surface and cut one piece that equals to the measurement of the back side of the seat. This is going to be the main panel of the organizer and you also need several medium and small pieces for making pockets. I used the backside of the jacket as the main panel. Three medium size rectangle pieces (referred to as pocket #1) and several other small size rectangle pieces (referred to as pocket #2) are cut from the same jacket fabric.
How to make regular tapes and how to attach them?
Cut a rectangle strip anywhere from the fabric (a contrasting color printed fabric is used in the project)
I used 0.5 " wide strip for finishing off the edges. If you want to make a tape of 0.5" wide, you should start from a 2" wide strip. Decide the length of the strip depending on the requirement.
Attaching regular tapes: Place your fabric with right side facing up. Bring in the regular tape and sandwich the raw edge of the fabric in between the folds of the bias tape. Pin in place (you may also flip the fabric and make sure the pin has secured the back side of the bias tape). Sew along the folded edge of the tape to finish off the raw edge.
Attaching pocket #2 to pocket #1
Get the small rectangles pieces cut for pocket #2 and and finish off their top raw edge with a regular or a bias tape. Then, place and pin pocket #2 onto pocket #1.
Sew along the remaining three edges of pocket #2. I used a straight stitch followed by zig-zag stitch to secure pocket #2 onto pocket #1.
Attaching pocket #1 to main panel
Finish off the top raw edge of all pocket #1 with regular tapes. Arrange all three pocket #1 prepared on the main panel.
Then, pin them in place.
Sew along the remaining three edges of pocket #1. I used a straight stitch followed by zig-zag stitch. You can also compartmentalize the pocket #1 to smaller pockets by making a straight stitch on the top of pocket #1. Finish off all the four edges of the main panel with regular tape or bias tape.
Attaching handle and fasteners
I am going to hang the organizer to the two rods that is in between the head rest and the car seat. Also, need two fasteners to secure the lower side of the organizer to the seat.
Decide length of the handle required and cut two strips of 1" wide from the same fabric. Attach them together by straight stitches along all four raw edges. Finish off the raw edge by regular or bias tapes. Attach the ends of the handle to the back side of the main panel.
To make the fasteners, a regular tape of 0.5" wide, is used. Sew along the folded edge to make fasteners. Attach the fasteners to the lower backside of the main panel.
To hang the organizer, slide out the the head rest from the car seat and place the handle. Then, slide in and snap the the head rest. Tie the ends of the two fasteners on the lower back side of the car seat.
Organize cell phone, tablet, sticky notes, travel games, head phones, pen/pencil etc. in different pockets of the organizer.

One million dollar bet!
I happened to say this to a friend claiming, I will have at least a million dollars by the age of 40. This is not an impossible dream, but it is not the easiest of all either. And he challenged that wasn't possible. I believe I would not only meet this goal, but also beat this goal by far. I don't have doubts. I have a plan.
Because there are two types of people in the world. Those who see the thing they want, and those who see the thing that is preventing them from getting the thing they want.
Lets look at my credentials briefly:
Went to Indian institute of technology, where the selection rate is 1 in a 100, passed out from IIT with university gold medal. Worked in India for a pharmaceutical industry. Got PhD in Chemical engineering from University of Wisconsin Madison, and I work for Intel corp as of today.
On this journey that started about 5 years back, I realized several things very quickly. I am going to summarize these here in the hopes that these can help others define their own recipes of successes.
Now that I said the words Recipes for successes: It turns out – that there is no such thing as "one" recipe for success. There are dynamic recipes for successes. Recipes are simple models of success coherently put together to achieve a certain goal.
I read every single paper published in Harvard Business review, in last 3 years, and I constructed 300 such models so far, that can be applied in various types of scenarios in sequences. Today I would present one simple recipe for success. Perhaps it would work for some people. And this recipe is called 'Follow the best of the best'. So who were my best?
For Steve Jobs, success meant innovating great products for the people and change the world bit by bit. His thought process about changing the world was that the world was created by people no better than you. So if you believed in yourself – you could do it. I learned that the first thing one has to do is to believe. I believe I can do it. I want you to believe you can do it. I want you to make others believe that they can do it. The difference between me and my friend who challenged me with a million dollars is not in the intellectual capabilities, or the schools we attended or our earnings.
Lesson learned: It lies in the belief. I believe.
The next step in my journey was learned from Warren Buffet. It was to "think". In one line – Warren buffet says – you should spend a lot of time thinking. It sounds ridiculous on its face value, but it turned out, that thinking and reading a lot of material on internet increased my decision making capability and put me ahead of others by 3-4 years. Whether it had to do with buying the house at the correct time, or whether it was putting money in stocks, or succeeding at the work place.
Despite the fact that we all have been blessed with a brain, and equal amount of time, many of us choose not to put their brains to work adequately. I have met plenty of people telling me that they went with the flow, and today they have certain career pathway they do not like. If they already do not like what they do – how would they compete with people who do what they like to do.
Lesson learned: You should spend a lot of time reading, listening, and thinking.
The next lesson I learned is from Elon Musk, and I would rather divert you to reading more about it.
Lesson learned: Work super hard.
The forth lesson was learned from one of the most legendary athletes of all times. Think about a stadium full of 100 thousand people in the game of Olympics. Gun shot is fired and this athlete stands first. Could anyone tell me the name of the athlete that stood second? No! You see, the difference between the one who stands second and the first is 0.04 seconds, but in those 0.04 seconds is hidden the price of "damns" as I like to define it. 0.04 seconds contain No "damns" that people give to the guy who comes second, and everyone gives all his damns to the guy who stands first. The world does not reward the second best adequately. It rewards the best. Become the best. But what goes in behind becoming the best – Eliminate your mistakes.
Lets take the example of Usain. In a world championship game, he accidentally beat the gun shot and was disqualified. That day he cried for the whole day. But then he went home, practiced gun shot 10,000 times during the day, night, evening, rain or shine, under noise, winds and by creating multiple artificial circumstances with his coach. With this hard work, he made sure that he may get migraine, his legs may get cramp, his heart may not remain powerful enough, and one day an athlete might beat him, but there is one thing he would never miss – Gun shot. That's what makes a winner. Eliminate your mistakes.
You see, the world is a place that judges you on your mistakes. Your boss has absolutely no problems in remembering your mistakes, while he might easily forget the great things you did in the whole year. We are all biologically wired to remember the mistakes carefully. Lets consider two engineers – one who does 95 jobs with 100 percent accuracy and one who does 100 jobs with 95 % accuracy.
To some people they might look like similar. No No No!
We are talking about two people who have two different career trajectories. They are actually no where close to be similar. These two are two completely different engineers. We are talking about two different persons on planet earth. I already know their destiny. The one who does not make mistakes would be a senior vice president one day. The one who continues to make mistakes may have to retire as an engineer. The difference between the two is – the "damns" that the world will give to the one who is more accurate compared to the other one.
Year after year, the one who is more accurate would continue to get more important work, that would steer him on the journey of success.
Lesson learned: Eliminate your mistakes.
The fifth lesson I learned is – about inspiring. If you cannot inspire others, they would not believe in you. If they don't believe in you, they would not work for you. No one in the world has succeeded beyond a point without being able to inspire others. Inspiration starts from within, but it extends to being nicer before being skilled. One of the deepest things I judged about people is – that before they judge what you say, they judge you. Make your customers feel good. Treat every person in the world as if you work in a team with him. Help them achieve their goals. You may have to go out of your way, but they would return those favors some day. Martin Luther King went on the stage in ~ 1963 and he said 'I have a dream'. That inspired many people in the world.
Lesson learned: Inspire others. They would become your team.
The last lesson is about living. Live a good life. Make things comfortable in your life. Cut away things that waste your time. Eat well, sleep well, exercise regularly, and use your time wisely. Socialize with people, and put them beyond your own dreams.
Lesson learned: Live happily, and stay fit.
Money is only an outcome of all these actions. Plan your own journey better, and you should not have to worry about it.
Stay blessed, and stay inspired!

Only 2 percent of family units seeking asylum who are released from ICE custody are ever repatriated, according to Lucero.
"That means 98 percent are going through proceedings or we are ultimately looking for them right now," Lucero said.
That staggering statistic is a reason why the Arizona border with Mexico is seeing a large draw of family units from Central America, Lucero explained.
A large number of them detained end up being released from custody after around two weeks.
Who are they?
It is estimated that 85 percent of immigrants who arrive at Arizona-Mexico border are from Guatemala. Most are asking for asylum as soon as they arrive.
"What DHS [Department of Homeland Security] as an agency suggests is if you are coming as an asylum seeker, that you claim asylum in the first country that you enter," Lucero said.Read the rest of the story HERE.

Pete Buttigieg, a Millennial Midwestern mayor, says he's what Democrats need in 2020
Pete Buttigieg gives a surprising answer to the first question he is invariably asked at each stop on his longshot presidential campaign:
Why does the 37-year-old mayor of South Bend, Ind. — population 102,000, smaller than Antioch — think he can be the leader of the free world?
Buttigieg's answer: He's got more experience than the current one.
"I've got more years of experience in government than the president," Buttigieg said Monday in San Francisco, before adding with a smile, "That's a low bar."
The two-term mayor also has more years of executive experience than Vice President Mike Pence, his state's former one-term governor. And the Navy reserve officer says he has "more military experience than anybody to walk in that office since George H.W. Bush."
"I get that it's a nontraditional resume for this sort of thing. People expect you to be marinated in Washington for many years," Buttigieg said on the "It's All Political" podcast.
Buttigieg (a Maltese name pronounced "BOOT-edge-edge") has become an intriguing curiosity on the campaign trail for a couple of reasons, starting with how former President Barack Obama tagged him as an up-and-comer in the party.
He's got a resume that appears to have been forged in Democratic headquarters' central casting department: Harvard grad. Rhodes scholar. Millennial. Afghanistan war veteran. Married his boyfriend three years ago. Elected twice in a deep-red state.
He's popped up on the political radar a few times in recent years, including when he ferried his former Harvard classmate and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg around South Bend and when he ran for Democratic National Committee chair in 2017.
He tells Democrats he has ideas for reversing the decline of manufacturing as "a Midwestern Millennial mayor." That's relevant, he said, "for a party that has lost touch with the interior of the country."
The challenge for Buttigieg is that he's unknown outside of political circles. He needs to attract either 1 percent of voters in selected polls or 65,000 unique donors to qualify to appear in Democratic Party-sanctioned debates that start in June, and he hasn't hit either target yet.
For the most part, he's been spending his time in Iowa and New Hampshire. But he came to San Francisco to court donors and make a lunchtime appearance at Postmates, a South of Market on-demand delivery company, where he impressed many of his fellow Millennials by answering questions about artificial intelligence and riffing on the privacy policy in Estonia.
The way he spoke and his presence "set off all the bells for me that said 'leadership,' " said Cyan Banister, a San Francisco venture capitalist who was an early investor in SpaceX and Uber.
Buttigieg doesn't lean as far left as many others in the Democratic presidential field. While he supports Medicare for All as a long-term goal, he believes a more achievable near-term solution is to offer consumers a public option to buy into Medicare coverage.
"People aren't interested about Medicare for All because we're excited about socialism. We're excited about Medicare for All because it is more efficient," Buttigieg said. "People say, 'Who is going to pay for this?' If you are not insured, you're paying too much for health care. You're paying for it right now in an incredibly inefficient system."
Eventually, Buttigieg predicted, his Democratic rivals will coalesce around the same policies. Voters will choose the nominee based on "tone and the messenger."
"One of the mistakes Democrats have made is that we lead with the policy before we talk about our values," Buttigieg said. For now, he prefers to talks about values like "freedom" in a way that Republicans don't.
"They aren't talking about reproductive freedoms or the freedoms afforded by having universal health care," Buttigieg said. "Freedoms that, frankly, if the progressive side doesn't defend them, nobody will."
He bristled when asked if his measured approach would stand up in a general election campaign against Trump.
"I grew up in Indiana and I'm gay. I'm comfortable dealing with bullies," Buttigieg said. "I got a lot of practice dealing with rocket fire (in the military). I think I can handle being called silly names."
Besides, Buttigieg said, that misses the point.
"We've got to have a message that makes sense and that recognizes that this president is going to come and go. So it can't be all about him."

I usually prefer to be clean before I pray. Is it possible for me to perform the ghusl of janaba instead of wudhu even when I am not in the state of janaba before I offer my prayers?
The ghusls are ordained by the Sharia for particular causes and circumstances. If they are not present, then the ghusl is not legislated. For example, the ghusl of janaba is only for those in the state of janaba, and the ghusl of Friday is only related to Friday. In order to be clean for prayers, a shower or bath can be taken, but this will not be sufficient to enter the prayer. Wudhu will be necessary before prayers.
When one urinates after ejaculation for the purposes of istibrā, and afterwards some drops of blood are seen to be discharged too, is the istibrā correct and is the ghusl performed afterwards correct too? Or should one wait until the drops of blood stop?
If he performs istibrā from semen by urinating, the process of istibrā is correct, even if blood was discharged after that. He can then perform ghusl and ensure tahir water reaches all parts of his body. Similarly, if the blood stops for a short period of time and he performed ghusl during that time, the ghusl is correct even if blood is discharged after that.
If after finishing ghusl, I remember that my leg was najis before I started ghusl, will I have to repeat the ghusl again completely? Is it sufficient to make only my leg tahir and wash that part only with the intention of ghusl?
It is sufficient to purify your leg and wash it, with the intention of ghusl.
(a) If she has a habit of duration, then it is obligatory not to offer the prayers and not to have sexual intercourse with her husband for the number of days that corresponds to her menstruation period. If she continues to see blood after this period, then as an obligatory precaution she should do the same for a further day. She may continue to do so until the completion of the ten days. The remaining period of discharge is considered to be as Istihadha.
(b) If she does not a habit of duration, she should observe the above mentioned rulings for ten days. The remaining period of discharge is considered to be as Istihadha, and based on an obligatory precaution she should observe the rules of the woman during lochia (Nifas) for the completion of eighteen days.
If the miscarried fetus was not recognized as a child, like if it is a clot or lump of flesh, then based on an obligatory precaution she should offer the prayers based on the appropriate level of Istihadha and refrain from performing what is prohibited on the woman during lochia (Nifas).
If she does not a habit of duration, she should observe the above-mentioned rulings for ten days. The remaining period of discharge is considered to be as Istihadha, and based on an obligatory precaution she should observe the prohibitions of the woman during lochia (Nifas) and act upon the rules of Istihadha for the completion of eighteen days.
If a woman is in her period, is there any restriction to the amount of Quran she may recite? Could she, for example, complete the entire Quran whilst on her period?
Such recitation is permissible although it is disliked, except that it is prohibited for her to recite the verses of prostration.
If on the first night of marriage the wife is having menstruation period, is sex forbidden?
It is prohibited to have sexual intercourse in the time of menstruation. Other sexual activities are permissible.
Can a woman during her menstrual period undertake a recommended ghusl (for example, the ghusl of Friday or the Night of Power)?
Yes, it is permissible with the hope that such ghusl is desired by Almighty Allah.
When does the woman reach the age of menopause as per the sharia?
If the woman was not a descendant of Qurasih, then the time of the Sharia-defined menopause is the age of fifty years. If she was a descendant of Quraish, then this time begins at the age of sixty years. However, if she knows that the blood that she has discharges is menstruation, even if her age is above the age of sharia defined menopause, she should apply the laws of menstruation to it.
For those who have a Sayyida mother, but whose father is not a Sayyid, do they follow the rules of being from Quraish in ascertaining the age of menopause?
The religious laws that depend on the age of menopause are based on being from Quraish from the father's side.
If I see menstrual-type bleeding for two days, then it stops for a day, and then the bleeding starts again and continues for another five days, will I consider all of it to be menstruation, or will I consider the first two days to be istihadha?
The bleeding is not considered as menstruation unless it lasts for a total of three days - even if it is separated with gaps - within a period of ten days. In the said circumstance, all of the bleeding will be considered menstruation.
What is the kaffara for having intercourse with the spouse during menstruation?
There is no obligatory kaffara but it is recommended. The recommended kaffara is 4.25 gm. of gold or its worth if the sexual intercourse was in the beginning of menstruation, half of this amount if it was in the middle of menstruation and its quarter if it occurred at the end.
It is sufficient to pay the value of the gold.
If the Dhuhr (noon) time has come, and after some time a woman starts her menstrual period before she started performing the prayer, is she still liable to offer the prayer?
If the woman starts the menstruation after the end of the preferred time of the prayer, she should make up this missed prayer after the end of the menstrual period as Qadha. In fact, as an obligatory precaution, she should still make up the missed prayer if sufficient time had passed for her to offer the prayer before the start of her period.
If during the first day of the menstruation a woman has menstrual bleeding, and then no bleeding for two days, and the following day she sees the bleeding for two days again, is it necessary for her to observe the rules of menstruation during the clear days?
In this situation, the woman should have the ghusl of menstruation and she offer the prayers during the clean days. If she did not do so then she must offer the prayers as qadha.
She should consider the periods of bleeding as menstruation, even if they were separated by clean periods.
In the evening, a woman checked that her menstrual bleeding had not ended. She overslept and missed the Morning Prayer, and later on when she woke up she found that he period had ended. Is it necessary for her to make up the Morning Prayer?
It is not obligatory to make up the Fajr (morning) prayer in the said case.
If a woman in her menstrual period hears the verse with the obligatory prostration, is she obligated to perform the prostration? Is it possible to do so without a hijab, and on a carpet?
Yes, it is obligatory on her to prostrate when hearing the verse of prostration. It is permissible without hijab, and based on an obligatory precaution it should be on natural earth like soil, stones, rocks and similar materials, or on what grows on earth provided that it is not consumed for food or worn as clothing.
Is intercourse allowed during the period of blood stains or spotting prior to the menstrual cycle?
If the woman sees spots of blood before the set day of her period by a day or two, such blood is considered as menstrual blood and it is prohibited to have sexual intercourse during such time.
Can a man or a woman in the state of janaba recite those verses which obligate prostration?
It is not permissible for the person in the state of janaba to recite the verses of prostration. He may recite the rest of the Quran.
