**This bright, colorful and better for you California Veggie Bowl with crispy rice, soft boiled egg and a quick and easy shallot lime vinaigrette is sponsored on behalf of Carrington Farms.All opinions and recipes are my own**
Back to lifeeeee, back to reality! Jeremy and I just got back from the most magical trip to LA. We had 7 breezy days of sunshine, delicious wholesome food, and well, let's be honest, there was plenty of that good ole California traffic, too! Each morning, we'd drive up and down PCH looking for a waves and we got super lucky. Because of the Southern summer swell and a hurricane in the Pacific ocean, there were head high waves which made Jeremy and I both super happy. He got to surf, I got to lay out and tan while watching him throw giant airs on his new Hayden Shapes board. It was the perfect way to wake up on vacation mode.
After a few hours of beach time, we'd both find ourselves starving. Luckily so many of our friends and followers gave us awesome restaurant recommendations (look out next week for our LA city guide!) so we had no problem finding the best food in each town. And believe me the food did not disappoint.
If you followed our adventure on instagram, you probably saw how beautiful each and every meal was. Every single plate we had was loaded with vibrant organic vegetables, clean protein, and of course, plenty of creative twists. LA chefs really know how to craft beautiful plates (that are also delicious AF) which left me feeling super inspired.
Another one of the things that I noticed while we were in Cali was the use of alternative oils. Instead of olive oil, we saw things roasted in coconut oil, salad dressings made with avocado oil, and the like. That's why I got so excited when Carrington Farms asked me to partner with them to feature their new Organic Unflavored Coconut Oil. Unlike other coconut oils, Carrington's is liquid so it won't seize up if it gets cold which makes it absolutely perfect for salad dressings like this one with lots of fresh lime juice and shallots. It's super simple to make but it tastes complex which is always a good thing.
What I like best about Carringtons Farms' oil is its versatility. Because their new organic coconut oil is simple, clean and real, it's also absolutely perfect for cooking! The roasted sweet potatoes in this bowl are made using their coconut oil and they're out-of-control addicting. And although the coconut oil isn't sweet on its own, when you roast with it, I've found that it helps bring out the natural sweetness of any vegetables which is a win-win.
And so to bring a little of that luscious LA inspo back with us, I figured I'd create a super fresh bowl to keep the California vibes flowing. With this dish, I decided to keep it veggie-friendly with a soft boiled egg, but that doesn't mean you couldn't add other proteins like grilled chicken or steak. There's also tons of raw veggies and fresh herbs which make for a satisfying, fulfilling bowl both for the eyes and the tummy.
Oh, and you might have noticed the crispy rice. This was another trend that I fell in love with in LA. There was crispy rice on EVERYTHING which added this awesome guilt-free crunch factor so I had to incorporate it. I found the non-sweetened organic puffed rice next to the Carrington Farms products in the organic aisle so I felt like it was fate. Anyways, let's get to the recipe, shall we?
RECIPE: California Veggie Bowl with Crispy Rice, Soft Boiled Egg + Shallot Lime Vinaigrette
- 3 tbsp Carrington Farms Organic Unflavored Coconut Oil
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp shallot, thinly diced
- 1 tsp grainy mustard
- 1 tsp high quality honey
- Salt and pepper
- 1 sweet potato
- 1 tbsp Carrington Farms Organic Unflavored Coconut Oil
- 2 pinches Salt
- 2 cups mixed greens
- 3 tbsp red quinoa, cooked
- ½ cup roasted sweet potato
- 3-5 small red onion rounds
- ¼ avocado
- 4 heirloom cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tbsp organic puffed rice
- 1 egg, boiled for 7 minutes
- **fresh basil, cilantro, dill for garnish**
- Whisk together all ingredients and season with salt and pepper. Set aside
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Dice sweet potato into small squares and toss with coconut oil and 2 pinches of salt.
- Add mixed greens to a medium sized bowl and top with quinoa. Arrange the sweet potato, red onion, avocado, tomatoes and puffed rice around the bowl and place the 7 minute egg in the middle. Serve with salad dressing on the side.

We have been making steady progress. Most exciting and important — the old grain silo is ours! Graydon got the keys on Friday, February 13th! We are hoping that the date will be lucky for Barrow Brewing Company.
This building has a rich history! Originally it was part of a complex of buildings owned by C.B. Hodge Feed & Grain. The grain store was across the street, in what is now The Patio restaurant. Other buildings in the complex are also across the street and now house the amazing Salado Glassworks studio. Cotton and corn were stored in these buildings and when you visit the microbrewery, you'll immediately notice the original horizontal paneling that kept the grain fresh and safe from critters. The buildings were later sold to the Guests and Sanfords who ran the feed store until the 1970's.
Most recently, this building housed the Silver Spur Theater. The Silver Spur hosted brilliant plays that were so much fun to attend. The talent and love that went into those productions is one of the reasons we fell in love with this town. When it closed a couple of years ago we were so disappointed. A night at the local theater was such a treat.
The box office was added while the building was the Silver Spur. We'll be removing the box office and replacing it with a rolling glass garage door. We're also doing renovations on the interior of the building to make room for the brewery. The sound/lighting booth will be taken out to open up the floor plan. We'll be adding drains and doing some plumbing, but really this space is already ideal for a microbrewery!
Can we take a minute to talk about the location? The microbrewery is just off Main Street, on Royal. Our neighbors are gifted artists doing what they love and we are right next to Salado Creek! When you come to visit the brewery, you'll find something for everyone.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 19, 2016
Periodontal disease affects nearly half of American adults over 30 and is a leading cause of tooth loss. More commonly known as gum disease, it occurs as a result of oral bacteria colonizing the tissues supporting the teeth. Over time, the bacteria can destroy the gum and bone tissue, leading to tooth loss. As the disease progresses, the resulting inflammation and infection can increase the risk of heart disease and other serious health issues. Los Angeles dentist, Dr. Bijan Afar, comments on new gum disease treatment options.
Researchers recently found that P. gingivalis, the bacterium to blame for periodontal disease, died when it came into contact with silicon nitride, according to Medical News Today. Research published in the journal "Langmuir" revealed that silicon nitride has powerful antimicrobial properties that could make it a valuable ally in the fight against periodontal disease. The researchers used a variety of techniques to monitor the interactions between the microbes and silicon nitride surfaces and found that within just six days, the bacteria's ability to function properly had been reduced dramatically. They had also suffered DNA damage. While further studies are needed, this research may provide new options for gum disease treatments.
Dr. Bijan Afar currently offers a variety of conservative and surgical treatments for gum disease, including:
- Scaling and root planing
- Crown lengthening
- Bone grafts
- Soft tissue grafts
- Dental implants
- Pocket reduction surgery
Periodontal disease can occur with few noticeable symptoms. Risk factors include smoking, poor diet, poor dental hygiene, and systemic health issues such as diabetes, but it can affect anyone. Regular dental checkups play an important role in any preventive strategy.
About Dr. Bijan Afar, Periodontist
Dr. Afar is a graduate of the University of California, Los Angeles. After receiving his Master of Oral Biology and Doctorate of Dental Surgery, Dr. Afar continued his studies in the field of periodontology. He received the California State Fellowship and the prestigious NIH Dentist-Scientist Fellowship, which enabled him to pursue his advanced degrees. Today, Dr. Afar is a member of the California Dental Society, the American Dental Association, and the International Congress of Oral Implantologists.

Sensex extends gains for the 7th day, ends higher by 142 points
The benchmark Sensex on Thursday rose 142 points, extending its winning run to the seventh day, buoyed by gains in HDFC, Infosys and L&T as well as fag-end buying in metal shares after some firms won mines in coal block auction.business Updated: Feb 19, 2015 18:17 IST
The benchmark Sensex on Thursday rose 142 points, extending its winning run to the seventh day, buoyed by gains in HDFC, Infosys and L&T as well as fag-end buying in metal shares after some firms won mines in coal block auction.
Growing expectations of rate cuts after inflation slowed and hopes of a growth-oriented budget also provided support.
Shares of Jindal Steel & Power zoomed by 25.6%, the biggest gain among BSE listed shares on Thursday, after its unit Jindal Power Ltd bagged two coal mines in Chhattisgarh.
Sensex constituent Hindalco also surged 3% after it secured the Gare Palma IV/5 block. Sesa Sterlite jumped 7% as mining and metal firms caught investors' fancy.
HDFC, Infosys, L&T and TCS shares saw moderate rise and helped the Sensex end in the positive terrain. Losses in ICICI Bank, ITC, Tata Motors and SBI weighed.
The BSE Sensex resumed higher at 29,434.91 and shot up further to a high of 29,522.86 on strong buying. It declined afterwards to 29,108.15 on profit-booking in select counters before finishing at 29,462.27, logging a net gain of 142.01 points or 0.48%. In seven days, the Sensex has gained 1,234.88 points or 4.37%.
"Initially, selling pressure in the banking space especially in PSU pack pushed the bulls on back foot. However, buying activity in IT majors alongside recovery in metal and realty space kept the recovery hopes alive," said Religare Securities, President-retail distribution, Jayant Manglik.
Similarly, the NSE 50-share Nifty index firmed up by 26.20 points, or 0.30%, to close at 8,895.30.
In Asia, Japanese stocks settled higher, helped by gains in financial and shipping companies. The Nikkei 225 average was up 0.36%. Indices in Singapore, South Korea and Taiwan moved up by 0.16-0.58%. Chinese markets are closed for Lunar New Year holiday.
Coming back to Indian markets, foreign portfolio investors bought shares worth a net Rs 2,187.96 crore on Wednesday as per provisional data released by the stock exchanges. Domestic Institutional Investors (DIIs) also bought shares worth a net Rs 327.87 crore on Wednesday.

What a provocative question when asking about how to create wealth from home...
..."is it easy"?
There are a number of answers to that question. But, I'll give you the simplest one: for compliance reasons I cannot tell you that making a fortune in Liberty League is "easy". But, I can tell you that, for the life of me, I cannot see anything about this business that is difficult.
What's hard?
1. I run the ads that the company gives me and I promote the websites they provide.
2. Once a day, I call the people back who have responded and who are waiting for my call.
3. I weed out the tire-kickers with a 4-minute conversation and invite them to attend a presentation call.
4. I call them back and collect a decision. No convincing, no persuading. Heck, someone else actually answers all their questions for me!
I look at that list...and I look at how I spend my day and I just can't find anything difficult about it.
And to that, someone might say, "Well, if it's so easy...why isn't everyone doing it?"
It's a fair question. The only answer I can think of is that many people are so entrenched in their own fear of failure that they can't let themselves take action that might actually create the life they claim to want. So, they stay "stuck in their ruts" and are never willing to actually DO the things that create wealth and success in a home business.
It's all about choice.

IDP Counselor Explains IELTS Tests for UK Visa and Immigration
We talked to Sabina Kosuri, Education Counselor at IDP Dubai, about the English language requirements for studying at a university in the UK.
Sabina, I've heard there are some new rules for students who are going to study in the UK? Is that true? How will those changes affect me?
Tier 4 UK student visa rules have not changed, but the UK government has announced important changes to Secure English Language Testing (SELT) requirements for visa applications for UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). As a result of these changes, students are advised to check with the institution that they are applying to for their English language entry requirements. Alternatively, your IDP Counselor can check this on your behalf.
What is the IELTS FOR UKVI test exactly?
Actually, there's no difference at all between the IELTS FOR UKVI test and the regular IELTS. It's exactly the same test with the difference that IELTS FOR UKVI can only be taken at authorized test centers and the center must follow certain additional administrative procedures specified by the UK government.
So how do I register for IELTS FOR UKVI and how do I find an authorized test center?
You can only register online for IELTS FOR UKVI. Visit www.idpielts.me and it will ask you what you are taking the test for - to make sure that you register for the right test. It will also ensure that you register to take IELTS FOR UKVI at an authorized test center.
My friend said there's a new English language test called IELTS Life Skills, which costs less than IELTS FOR UKVI. Can I take IELTS Life Skills to study at a university in the UK instead of IELTS FOR UKVI?
No, IELTS Life Skills is for a completely different visa category. It's for people who need to prove their Speaking and Listening Skills for a "family of a settled person" visa, indefinite leave to remain, or for UK citizenship.
When should I register for IELTS FOR UKVI?
You should register for the test as soon as you are ready. Most of IEPS IELTS test centres offer IELTS FOR UKVI every 14 days and you will receive your results 13 days after the test. You also need to be mindful of the visa processing time and your university start date. Generally, we advise taking your IELTS test at least 6 weeks before your course start date. Of course, for those of you planning to begin your university studies in 2016, you do have plenty of time to prepare and take the IELTS test. An IELTS test report form is valid for 2 years, so you may want to take your test early so that you can focus on other elements of admission.
In the next issue, we will talk to the IDP IELTS Test Center Administrator in Dubai to learn more about the registration process for IELTS FOR UKVI.

Don't let the title of this post deceive you, it's not anything naughty, I promise! Been working out and focusing on my diet a lot more this year and have successfully lost 23lbs (woo hoo!) I've always been slightly envious of all those skinny girls I'd see jogging every morning in their cute lil sports bras and yoga pants and bitching about how they probably don't even make yoga pants in my size (ok, really envious.)
A few friends of mine recently posted on facebook about how they completed their first 5k's and then 10k's and it shocked me how much I really wanted to do that too. I used to just kinda chuckle at the thought of running because I have NEVER been a runner. Even when I was really athletic (we're going ways back here) and doing gymnastics religiously, I would never go running or jogging. I was in great shape then but I never had the endurance for it and therefore loathed it. So one of my friends posted a link about this Dirty Girl Run that takes place on September 24th:
It looks like a lot of fun (I'm not an outdoorsy girl who enjoys mud so I'm not sure what part of me actually thinks this will be fun, but some buried part does) and contemplated signing up for it. It took me about a week to make my decision because of the following:
1) I'm overweight, not just slightly by 15lbs, but a lot
2) I didn't want to be the only girl there really out of shape despite the fact that the site says its for all fitness levels
3) Started having nightmares of being carted off on a stretcher after 1 mile of walking while all the skinny people look on in horror
4) If I made it past the mile marker without the stretcher and actually completed the 5k, I'd be the last person to finish and everyone would be waiting on me for an hour or more as news crews video tape me for their special on obesity in America.
I finally shut my crazy and delusional mind up and just forced myself to sign up for the event. Now that I've paid for it (wasn't cheap) and have told people about doing it, I can't back out. I've actually made an effort to make sure several people know about it so that I'm stuck doing it, LOL. This blog post is another one of those attempts, because if I don't do it, all 3 readers of my blog will know about my failure!
I have 2 months to prepare for it and have started with the Couch to 5k Plan. (http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml) My first work out was today, and I will admit that I couldn't even do the alternate 60 secs of jogging with 90 secs of walking for a full 20 mins. That part lasted about 6 reps and then it went more like 45 secs of jogging and 2 minutes of walking for another 15 minutes. And by jogging, I actually mean the love child of walking and jogging (we'll call her "hobbling") I only did 2 miles, but that's better than the 0 miles I used to do.
Despite the fact that part of my butt bone hurts a bit after attempting to jog, I am really excited for this. I now have something to keep me motivated to keep working out for the next 2 months and will proudly know that I signed up and completed a 5K. I don't care if I have to walk the entire course and skip all of the obstacles, I took the plunge to sign up for it. One year ago I would never even have considered signing up for something like this. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm not an active person, but I want to change that. What it means to me to actually have the courage to sign up for this event is huge because it's a mental change towards becoming healthy, something I've wanted for several years but never actually followed through with.

I was frantic, terrified, beaten down, and scared for my life because I was homeless and desperate. Other than suicide or making my way to the recovery house I had been referred to, I had run out of options.
On November 26, 2016 I had no idea my life was about to change the way it did – After more than 20 years of drug and alcohol addiction I found myself standing alone in the parking lot of a Burger King in Surrey at night, cold and soaked to the bone with nowhere to go. I was frantic, terrified, beaten down, and scared for my life because I was homeless and desperate.
Other than suicide or making my way to the recovery house I had been referred to, I had run out of options. With the last bit of battery power on my phone I made a desperate plea for someone to please come get me and take me where I needed to go, and something in the universe stepped in and sent me an angel. A ride showed up and took me to the Alliance house at Together We Can, and from that day forward, nothing short of a miracle began to happen.
Through working the 12 steps, being of service, taking suggestions, surrendering my will, and admitting I could no longer manage my own life, I began to see that there was a new way to live waiting for me if I was willing to do the work. Surrounded by a house full of men fighting the same battle as I was, I began to heal my heart and my soul and find my voice and my spirit again.
I learned how to love again, I learned how to be selfless, I learned to trust others again, and I learned how to navigate loss, heartache and pain in a healthy way, rather than resorting to the ease and comfort of drugs and alcohol. By putting in the effort and care into myself and those around me in recovery, I stand here one year later with so much gratitude and hope in my heart that it feels like it may burst at times.
Today, I have a job that I love and makes a positive impact on the lives of those struggling with addiction, I have people in my life who tell me they love me and consider me family, I have self respect and dignity, but most of all I have a life that I can finally be proud of and call my own.
Had it not been for the Alliance program at the Together We Can – Addiction Recovery & Education Society, my sponsors, my new friends, and the recovery community I would not be here today, and from the bottom of my new heart I want to say thank you and tell each of you how grateful I am.
Recovery works. Recovery saves lives. Recovery is real.

Comet Hale-Bopp has been headed our way since Julius Caesar ran things in Rome. Modern astronomers have seen it coming since July 1995.
Scientists and graduate students at the Johns Hopkins University, however, got the money and the go-ahead eight months ago to build a telescope and spectrograph that they'll use to observe the comet.
Their instruments' April 5 flight, aboard a sounding rocket fired from New Mexico, will give them just five minutes and 40 seconds to spy on what may be the last great comet of the century.

Decisions on Good and Evil, what makes a Luciferian or a Satanist this or that. All points that bring the fools running and the opinions flow like milk from the teat. Now, I'm a Taoist before any other label you would care to hang on my tattered Hat, so my point of view comes from such bias. First eliminate all thoughts of gods and devils.
As a Luciferian the goal is to beyond good and evil. Philosophically, whatever is, is exactly the way it is supposed to be as a result of cause and effect, birth, decay and death, cycles and reversion.
Evil is a construct of man. We place our moral judgement on events and say that such and such is either good, evil, or it doesn't matter.
Pain is a physical thing. All living beings experience pain of one form or another. Just part of life.
Suffering is psychological. Even though we might be in pain we need not necessarily be suffering because of it.
Evil exists only because man has stated that certain things are evil. If one of these things that has been classified as evil has been enacted the evil has been done.
From my point of view, creation is the same as destruction, birth is the same as death, just changes of name and form.Evil, being just a name or a descriptive then it can only be temporary in nature. For example the evils of times gone past are the accepted norm of today … mini-skirts for example,Is it evil if I ended the life of a living being and ruthlessly chopped it's limbs from its living body?
That might cause you to react by saying "YES!!"
But what if I am just pulling up weeds from my garden, cutting them up and tossing them on my compost heap?
So "evil" is just a concept of the mind relative to social standards and my world view.laughs at the whole concept of good vs evil. In other words, a satanic or Luciferian perspective is that what's considered good and what's considered evil is relative and personal.Dressing it up in a hat and red claws and saying "Look at the evil over there in the night" is a really old trick, but it's not a trick the LHP will profit from adopting.

My friend burst out laughing when he first saw this deco idea and advised me that it was not politically correct at all...
You can get bird cages from Hong Kong's bird market. The buddha is from the Jade market in Kowloon. Each for itself makes a great decoration already but together they are perfect.

It Tells Of The Warning Signs.
Addicts tend to buy their heroin from the dealer who has the highest quality product. They can get a higher high for the same amount of money. Dealers prefer to sell heroin laced with fentanyl for maximum quality so they can keep their customers and steal customers from other dealers. A competitive advantage.

Misuse of prescription drugs means taking a medication in a manner or dose other than prescribed; taking someone else's prescription, even if for a legitimate medical complaint such as pain; or taking a medication to feel euphoria (i.e., to get high).* The term nonmedical use of prescription drugs also refers to these categories of misuse. The three classes of medication most commonly misused are: Opioids—usually prescribed to treat pain, Central Nervous System [CNS] depressants (this category includes tranquilizers, sedatives, and hypnotics)—used to treat anxiety and sleep disorders, Stimulants—most often prescribed to treat attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
Fentanyl is a highly addictive drug with the street names "drop dead," "China white," or "serial killer." It is a synthetic opioid, similar to heroin, but far more powerful. This drug is extremely dangerous to first responders like police officers, paramedics, firemen and anyone else who should come in contact with this drug.

National League champions Birmingham Surestop Brummies won 51-39 at Buxton Speedway on Sunday, but the victory was not as comfortable as the scoreline might suggest.
Up to heat 13 it was far from easy for the visiting riders.
Despite going eight points down early on, some astute tactical moves by stand-in team manager, 17-year-old Josh Moss, saw the Hitmen claw back vital points.
After heat 12 the score was locked at 36-36.
That was largely down to a fantastic performance by reserve Ryan Kinsley, scoring paid 12 from six rides.
Kinsley admitted that he went back to basics at the meeting.
"I didn't have such a great meeting last time out here and decided to go back to what I knew," he said.
Kinsley, who is something of a larger track specialist, added: "This bike set-up suits the smaller tracks and I think it will suit other tracks in the league too."
Meanwhile team Mmnager Moss enjoyed his afternoon at the helm.
"'It can be tough, especially at home when I have other duties to fit in," he said.
"I enjoyed it and we had a great team spirit.
"I think the boys appreciated it and I enjoyed the experience, but I'll be glad to see Jason (Pipe) back."
Eventually the Brummies top two triumphed and the last three heats were maximum victories for the visitors. Ex-Buxton star Liam Carr scored a faultless 15-point maximum and he was well backed by Jack Parkinson-Blackburn, who was also unbeaten by the opposition all meeting.
Buxton skipper Tom Woolley, who had the race of the day in heat 12, beating Kyle Bickley, was left bemoaning what might have been.
"We gave them a close meeting today and it was a pity Matt (Williamson) struggled.
"He has been on fire just recently and if he had scored like he has been we could have taken them."
Buxton are next at home on 10th September, when Kent Kings visit Hi-Edge.
BUXTON 39: Ryan Kinsley 11+1, Tony Atkin 9, Tom Woolley 8, Matt Williamson 6, Sam Woolley 2+1, Lee Geary 2+1, Jamie Halder 1+1.
BIRMINGHAM 51: Liam Carr 15, Jack Parkinson-Blackburn 13+2, Kyle Bickley 10, Layne Cupitt 8+2, Taylor Hampshire 4+1, Alex Spooner 1, David Mason R/R.

Information for Patients
Blood Disorders
Also called: Hematologic diseases
Your blood is living tissue made up of liquid and solids. The liquid part, called plasma, is made of water, salts and protein. Over half of your blood is plasma. The solid part of your blood contains red blood cells, white blood cells and platelets.
Blood disorders affect one or more parts of the blood and prevent your blood from doing its job. They can be acute or chronic. Many blood disorders are inherited. Other causes include other diseases, side effects of medicines, and a lack of certain nutrients in your diet.
Types of blood disorders include
- Platelet disorders, excessive clotting, and bleeding problems, which affect how your blood clots
- Anemia, which happens when your blood does not carry enough oxygen to the rest of your body
- Cancers of the blood, such as leukemia and myeloma
- Eosinophilic disorders, which are problems with one type of white blood cell.

- Hemoglobin (Medical Encyclopedia)
- Low white blood cell count and cancer (Medical Encyclopedia)
- RBC count (Medical Encyclopedia)
- RBC indices (Medical Encyclopedia)

Joint Disorders
A joint is where two or more bones come together, like the knee, hip, elbow, or shoulder. Joints can be damaged by many types of injuries or diseases, including
- Arthritis - inflammation of a joint. It causes pain, stiffness, and swelling. Over time, the joint can become severely damaged.
- Bursitis - inflammation of a fluid-filled sac that cushions the joint
- Dislocations - injuries that force the ends of the bones out of position
Treatment of joint problems depends on the cause. If you have a sports injury, treatment often begins with the RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation) method to relieve pain, reduce swelling, and speed healing. Other possible treatments include pain relievers, keeping the injured area from moving, rehabilitation, and sometimes surgery. For arthritis, injuries, or other diseases, you may need joint replacement surgery to remove the damaged joint and put in a new one.

Wet laboratory
Материал из Zbio
Problem list:
Mol.biology // Next-generation sequencing
NB! This material is for experienced laboratory stuff, NOT for studying of basic laboratory techniques.
[править] Clean work
The meaning of the term "clean work" is strongly dependent on the application. It is necessary to understand
- » what is the aim of the work
- » which contaminations should be avoided
Application Main contaminations Main precautions Eucaryotes bacteria, fungi, other strains of eucaryotic cells
- separate room with special rules
Bacteria other bacteria with the same antibiotic resistance
- wash bench
- sterilize bench, hands/gloves and instruments with Ethanol
- use autoclaved plastic and media
- special container for garbage
Library preparation other libraries
- set up "pre-PCR" and "post-PCR" areas
- aliquot reagents
- wear gloves
- do not prepare libraries from highly different amount of starting material in parallel
- clean electrophoresis unit/plates and gel-cutting place immediately after use
- be careful with "common"
- » equipment
- » PCR primers
PCR material from previous amplifications RNA RNases, skin, saliva, dry bacterial media
- wear gloves
- do not store RNases with other reagents
- weight solid RNases under fume hood
- etc.
Enzymatic reactions detergents, dirty plastic, haotropic salts
- do not store RNases and Proteinases with other reagents
- weight detergents, RNases, Proteinases under fume hood
- use autoclaved plastic only when it is really necessary
- do not use DEPC-treated water
NB! rules and techniques of "clean work" are not complex. It is not a problem to work clean for 15min. The problem is, that it is necessary to work clean always, independent of your state of mood and health. If contamination happends, it is difficult to remove it. It is more practicall to avoid contaminations completely.
- tips should be in racks, tubes — in boxes
- use forceps for handling tubes and tips
- place caps upside down only
- try to organize work in such a way, that hand moves from sample to trash in one direction without turning back
- never touch:
- » internal area of tube cap. Change tube if it happens
- » area neaby with the bottle neck. Protect it with aluminium foil or Saran wrap
- » ends of water tubes (distilled water, water purification system). Hold tubes in ~10cm from the end.
- hands should never come above:
- » open tubes, bottles
- » removed caps
- » open racks with tubes and tips
[править] Dirty materials
Dirty material Precautions tips, tubes, bottles, columns, etc., that were in contact with:
- » eucaryotes, bacteria
- » oligos, DNA, RNA: natural and cloned
- » haotropic salts, detergents
- » enzymes
- » etc.
- wash or throw away immediately
common equipment:
- » photo-documentation system, hand-held UV-lamp
- » NA analysers: spectrophotometer, NanoDrop, capillary electrophoresis, etc.,
- » centrifuge, PCR machine, RT-PCR
- » electrophoresis and gel-cutting table
- wash equipment before use
- change/wash gloves after use
common places:
- » door handle
- » water tap
- » telephone
- » light switches
- » doors of fridges, freezers
- » textile towel
- do not use gloves outside of the working table
- if use gloves outside of the working table — change/wash them
- do not use fingers for turning on/off light, opening doors, etc.
- use paper towel in the lab
personal things:
- » laboratory journal, pen, pencil, tape
- » keyboard/mouse, calculator
- » tube boxes, racks,
- » hair, nose, ears
- wash gloves after sneezing, touching hair, nose, etc.
- keep personal things clean, wipe with wet paper towel regularly:
- » pipette handles, tip racks, tube boxes, forceps
- » lab. journal, pens, pencils, scissors, tape
- special precautions before sensitive/important experiments
- » finish all paper/computer work before experiment
- » print new paper with a protocol
- » wash table, wash/change gloves
- special precautions when visit post-PCR area
- » better do not bring lab. journal into post-PCR area. Use separate papers, stick them into lab. journal lately
- » do not take photos from gel-doc system with gloves
- dirty materials should never contact clean surfaces:
- » table, journal, keyboard, mouse
- » racks for tips and tubes, boxes with tubes
- » gloves, forceps
- » pipettes
- » etc.
if this happens (or you suppose, that it happened), wash surface immediately.
[править] Gloves
- » sweat from taken out gloves have the same RNase activity, as a sweat from hands
- » wash gloves if you sneeze into them
- there are two types of gloves: with and w/o talk. Only talk free (dust free) gloves should be used in the laboratory
- wash gloves on the hands regularly (blot with paper towel)
- when it is too hot, put a piece of paper towel under the glove to prevent sweat dripping
- how to take gloves out:
- » do not put on clean surface turned inside out gloves
- » be careful not to sputter sweat from inside of gloves
- gloves should be worn:
- » within the freezer
- » RNA work
- » library construction
- » work with common equipment (see previous paragraph)
- change/wash gloves after contact with:
- » dirty material
- » common equipment
- » coming from post-PCR to pre-PCR area
- » before start of important or sensitive experiment
[править] How not to mix up samples
- put tubes always in the same order: in racks, on the table, in fridge/freezer, in centrifuge, etc.
- parallel work with several samples accelerates the process. But if the number of samples is too big, it is more practical to split them on several groups and process groups one after another
- load samples on the gel always from left to right
- immediately after PAAGE electrophoresis cut top-right corner of the gel
- immediately after blot cut top-right corner of the membrane
[править] Signing
- dispense samples only in signed tubes
- when possible, sign tubes and dispense known components before starting a work
- use clear distinguishable names:
- 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,...
In this respect names "a","b","c","d" is a bad choice, because "a" and "d" looks similar. Sometimes, it is more convenient to give a temporal names, than to use original ones (they may be too long, or too similar, etc.). Dangerous pairs:
- "a" / "d"
- "h" / "n"
- "q" / "g"
- "e" / "l"
- "r" / "v"
- "f" / "t"
- sign both tube and cap if:
- » cap is removable
- » you work with organic solvents (ethanol, isopropanol, chloroform, etc.)
- when signing caps:
- » cap-tails on the top
- » symmetrical cups: dot after symmetrical numbers "6 / 9", "18 / 81", etc.
- when signing tube for storage: date is obligatory
[править] Labels, markers
- labels:
- only two types of markers are stable enough:
- » Kryomarker, schwarz, 0.75mm [3]: thin and stable
- » : bright, thick
- marker writing on plastic difuse with time if it is covered by transparent tape
[править] How not to loose a sample
[править] NA purification
- spin columns:
- » keep "loading solution flow through" until you are sure, that sample is not lost
- » do not touch silica membrane with a tip
- Isopropanol/EtOH precipitation:
- » keep "supernatant combined with 70% EtOH washes" until you are sure, that sample is not lost
- » do not touch with a tip pellet-side internal part of the tube
- » try to control position of the visible pellet
- Phenol/chloroform purification of valuable samples: phase lock or additional extraction of interphase
[править] Sample solubilization
- do not use pipetting[4]
- give enough time, controll completness visually
[править] Tubes handling
- spin down before opening
- always put tubes into centrifuge in the same orientation
- blot cap after water bath
- use cap locks for:
- » boiling
- » rotation
[править] Experiment planning
- whenever possible, create backup(s) to be able to start not from the very beginning in case of an accident:
- » cut reserve gel blocks for library construction
- » use part of the library (1/3-1/2) for library amplification
- » plan analytical tests for couple of analysis (gel loadings)
[править] Storage
- tube signing: date is obligatory
- should be a system in distribution of tubes in freezers/boxes
- special "museum" collections of valuable strains, constructions, libraries, etc.
[править] Bench
- try to keep bench as empty as possible when it is not in use. Leave on the bench only vortex, centrifuge(s) and pipettes
[править] Centrifugation
- wash regularly internal part of the centrifuge:
- » weekly, remove rotor for washing
- » after first PE/RPE wash
- » before enzymes/buffers aliquoting
- always put tubes into centrifuge in the same orientation (except of backet-rotors):
- » cap-tails oriented outside
- » tubes without cups: write dot by marker, orient it outside
- big centrifuge: use smooth breaking for pelleting and phase separation (phenol and chloroform extraction, salt/glycerol gradients)
- to accelerate rotor cooling, run centrifuge at low speed
- good practice for removal of supernatant (EtOH precipitation, 70% EtOH wash):
- ▫ remove main part of supernatant (pour off, pipette, etc.)
- ▫ close tube and centrifuge again for 2-5min
- ▫ remove the rest of supernatant by aspiration
- for precipitation of short Nucleic Acids (NA) or low amounts of NA:
- » centrifuge at +4°C
- » centrifuge for a long time: 15-30min
[править] Incubation at certain temperature
- "preheating/precooling" is not required if there is a good contact with a tube:
- » water bath (automatic, thermos, in foam plastic box)
- » ice bath (ice with water)
- » PCR machine
- » liquid N2
- » dry ice with ethanol
- » thermoshaker with tube-form wells
- requires special precautions (preheating/precooling):
- » ice w/o water (dry ice w/o ethanol): small area of ice/tube contact
- » air thermostat, thermostated room: low speed of heating. Preheat sample, put it on preheated surface or under a fan
- » refrigerator, freezer: low speed of cooling. Precool (snap freeze) sample. Put sample on cold surface
- preheating of tubes/bottles before incubation in air thermostat
- ▫ preheat in water bath
- ▫ blot water with paper towel
- ▫ put in air thermostat
[править] Typical problems
- extremely low speed of heating:
- » stacks of Petri dishes / bacterial plates in air thermostat
- » plastic foam racks are good thermoisolators both for air thermostat and for water bath
- » tube in cardboard (foam plastic) box in freezer
- » cooling/heating of large volumes: small surface/volume ratio. Mix bottle from time to time
- water is nice thermoisolator. It heat up and cool down fast only because of convection:
- » cooling should be from the top, heating — from the bottom
- » be sure, that bottle is completely submerged in the cooling substance: ice, dry ice, ice bath, etc.
- » viscous solutions require longer time for cooling/heating
- water bath
- » water gets between tube and cap: blot, remove by centrifugation before opening
- » level of sample in the tube/bottle should not be above the level of the water in the water bath
- bucket with ice (dry ice):
- » tubes and bottles should not be above the walls of the bucket
- » liquid level should be below of ice level
[править] Freezer
- use gloves; on -70°C — also forceps
- if it is necessary to find a tube in the box never put box on the room-temperature surface (bench, top of the freezer, knee, etc.) !!!
- » quick work (1-2min.): put box cover on the bench (flat surface top), put box on the cover
- » long work (>2min.):
- -20°C: put -20°C precooled block in the plastic foam box. Put storage box on the precooled block.
- -70°C: cover bottom of plastic foam box with dry ice. Put storage box on dry ice.
- Check, that box is below than plastic foam box walls. Put plastic foam cover on the top when not in use. Use forceps to handle the tubes.
- freeze/melt samples fast[5]
- freezing:
- » everything except of enzymes should be snap freezed in liquid N2 before storage
- » do not put "just from N2 tubes" nearby with enzymes in the freezer
- melting:
- » enzymes from -70°C: melt in hands until a small piece of ice remain in the tube, then put in Stratagene cool box
- » competent cells: in hands until a small piece of ice remain in the tube, then put in ice
- » buffer melting: in room-temperature water bath or hands until a small piece of ice remain in the tube/bottle, then put in ice
- control freezer temperature: should be -18-25°C[6]. Some enzymes are extremely sensitive to overcooling (RNA ligase)
- blot cold boxes with paper towel before putting them back on -20°C
[править] Automatic pipettes
- pipettes are calibrated at room temperature, in vertical position, for water. In all other cases special precautions are necessary
- store vertically
- transport on tray covered by paper towel (never put into pocket!)
- if liquid comes inside the pipette: open it and clean immediately
- » incline for more than 60° with a liquid in the tip (better, never incline for >60°)
- » put on the table with a liquid in the tip (better, never put on the table at all)
- » use pipette for strong acids
- » let anybody use your pipettes
[править] Maintenance
- regularly (weekly, or after suspicion on contact with dirty material) wipe pipette with paper towel:
- ▫ slightly damped with water
- ▫ slightly damped with 70% EtOH
- ▫ dry
- check each month for leakage (gloves, filtered tip):
- ▫ aspirate ~1/2 of maximum volume of water
- ▫ close the end of the tip with gloved finger
- ▫ maximally push the pipette piston and wait for 20 sec.
- ▫ release the pipette piston
- ▫ open the end of the tip
if there is a leakage, water would rise up in the tip

I rarely use the V stitch because it's so open it wouldn't work well for my homeless projects. But, I like it when doing other crochet work, technically though I don't do it right. I don't space between them, I do 2 DC in the same stitch then on the next row I put the 2 DC in the middle which creates a V, gives some texture, but is less open. What is your favorite thing to crochet?

Perform and Move It are the ultimate performing arts events packed with performances, workshops, seminars, interviews and stalls for the biggest names in dance, drama and theatre. Over three days the event welcomes over 20,000 visitors from the world of creative and performing arts.
One of Move It's hotspots is the Dance Register Interview Sofa with host Annaliese Dayes (America's Next Top Model). Tommy Franzén (So You Think You Can Dance) spoke to Inside Dance TV about his career, time in the Rodin Project and his past and future involvement in ZooNation's Some Like It Hip Hop. Also the D.inc. Wear campaign models (Aaron Renfree, Erin Dusek, Danielle Peazer, Dominique Tipper and Anthony Kaye) showcased the hottest dance-wear from Mrs Jones.
The Showcase Theatre, hosted by Dean McCullough was alive with performances from the leading dance schools, colleges and academies - a great place to meet the principles, current students and if you're about to audition it's a great opportunity to watch and choose the school that's right for you.
The Main Stage, hosted by Matt Flint was the centre of attention quite regularly throughout the day. Kimberly Wyatt premiered Tea For Two (starring Adam Garcia) and performed her latest single Derriere. Jonathan Wilkes sang Mr. Bojangles promoting his new school Wilkes Academy in Swindon. There were also performances from Twist & Pulse and recent Got To Dance contemporary-jazz sensation G-Nome.
The Main Stage was also the place for dance colleges to showcase their work to thousands of dancers, choreographers, directors and enthusiasts. Highlights included Let There Be Love by Urdang Academy, Masters Performing Arts College's Commercial routine Until They Kick Us Out and Performers College Luck Be A Lady.
Over in the Perform hall (which was a lot quieter) an interview with actor/writer/director Steven Berkoff was most interesting. Berkoff who has most recently been working on Actors Lament began with how he as an out-of-work actor began writing to rid his lack of self-worth.
"I wrote for my own entertainment in the frustration of not working and to earn some self-regard. When you're a dancer, even if you're unemployed you can still be 'working' by taking dance classes every day to perfect your craft - you're not just sat around... it's different for actors, you can't always do that. Actors I urge to learn text. Take great and significant texts like Shakespeare, for grittiness learn Macbeth... learn it all and by doing that you'll strengthen your acting mind."
Berkoff who was taught mime by Jacques Lecoq went on to explain how theatre today has lost its sense of ensemble: "Lecoq taught us to think outside ourselves and outside of our egos. He taught us ensemble and how to utilise gesture and the body and it should absolutely be mandatory for directors to do a course in Lecoq. They know nothing about the body and so they create a fantastical dead theatre. People like Julie Taymor are a great example of those who have benefited from Lecoq, look at The Lion King - it utilises every element of the body - and my work has always been about that."
In attendance at Perform/Move It were a group of young Midlands students and theatre-goers. For them, the trip was organised by the
Wolverhampton Grand Theatre

Perform/Move It was a great event that allows the creative industry, music, dance and drama, to come together and showcase talents whilst giving advice to the future generation of performers. The Get-In! members throughly enjoyed the day and got some great advice from industry professionals. The members attended a range of workshops from a conversation with Steven Berkoff, direction movement with the RSC and musical theatre to name a few. The Get-In! members had a brilliant day and gained from the advice that the top class drama schools could give them.

Cromwell's Mound Civil War fieldwork
Heritage Category: Scheduled Monument

District: Preston (District Authority)
Parish: Non Civil Parish
National Grid Reference: SD5428633829
Legacy Record - This information may be included in the List Entry Details.
Reasons for Designation
English Civil War fieldworks are earthworks which were raised during military
operations between 1642 and 1645 to provide temporary protection for infantry
or to act as gun emplacements. The earthworks, which may have been reinforced
with revetting and palisades, consisted of banks and ditches and varied in
complexity from simple breastworks to complex systems of banks and inter-
connected trenches. They can be recognised today as surviving earthworks or as
crop- or soil-marks on aerial photographs. The circumstances and cost of their
construction may be referred to in contemporary historical documents.
Fieldworks are recorded widely throughout England with concentrations in the
main areas of campaigning. Those with a defensive function were often sited to
protect settlements or their approaches. Those with an offensive function were
designed to dominate defensive positions and to contain the besieged areas.
There are some 150 surviving examples of fieldworks recorded nationally. All
examples which survive well and/or represent particular forms of construction
are identified as nationally important.
Cromwell's Mound Civil War fieldwork remains in good condition and is a rare surviving example of a monument of this class which is associated with the Second Civil War of 1648.
Legacy Record - This information may be included in the List Entry Details.
The monument includes Cromwell's Mound, a feature traditionally associated
with the Battle of Preston, fought on the 17th August 1648. It is interpreted
as a fieldwork, that is, a gun emplacement or earthwork used to provide
protection for infantry troops, and is located in a shallow valley through
which Moss Leach Brook flows approximately 350m north east of the medieval
moated site of Broughton Tower. Its location adjacent to the brook suggests
the mound may originally have been a dam associated with the water management
system of Broughton Tower. The mound takes the form of a `T'-shaped earthwork
measuring approximately 37m long by 8m-12m wide and up to 1.9m high with its
longest side orientated north west-south east. The tail of the `T' shape is
formed by an embankment sloping down south westwards from the highest point of
the mound.
The Battle of Preston was the largest and final battle of the Second Civil
War. It was fought between royalist supporters of Charles I aided by a
Scottish army 20,000 strong led by the Duke of Hamilton, and parliament's New
Model Army under the command of Oliver Cromwell. The subsequent defeat for the
royalist cause led to the execution of the king and the declaration of a
republic. Despite a lack of documentary evidence, tradition has it that
Broughton Tower was stormed by a band of Cromwell's troops during the battle
and that Cromwell's Mound was used during this action. Frequent finds of lead
musket balls and sling shot in the fields between the mound and Broughton
Tower have been offered as evidence to justify this tradition. It has also
been suggested that the mound, which lay to the right of the main flank of
parliamentarian forces, may have provided Cromwell with his first vantage
point from which to view the battlefield and judge the disposition of royalist
and Scottish troops during the initial stages of the battle.
All fence posts are excluded from the scheduling, although the ground beneath
these features is included.

Read and watch the story of Dr. Seuss's How the Grinch Stole Christmas here
The Grinch may have attempted to steal Christmas, and all that goes along with it, materially speaking.
Yet he couldn't steal the Spirit of Christmas, of people coming together for a higher purpose. A Heart purpose.
Once he realized Christmas wasn't coming from a store, his realization granted him a change of Heart, or a Heart growth, if you wish. Three times the size of his original, tiny Heart.
And the Grinch then graced us with Christmas

I agree Noel. Also, going to a lot of meetings helps me decide what meetings I like. It helps me see which people ALSO go to a lot of meetings. It helps me develop "smart feet" so when my head is really sick I don't have to search out a meeting, I know right where to look!
As for replacing the drink... Once I take one drink I take 100 more. It is not the same with meetings. After that one hour is over, I am free and sober. I don't spend nearly the time or money on AA that I once spent on alcohol!!

A woman was killed early Friday in a single-vehicle accident that shut down Highway 154 for several hours, and prompted a hazardous-materials response, according to the Santa Barbara County Fire Department.
The wreck occurred at about 5:30 a.m. on the highway between San Antonio Creek Road and Windy Gap, fire Capt. David Sadecki said. The victim, who was headed up the pass, was fatally injured when her vehicle rolled over for unknown reasons.
Initial crews arriving on scene found evidence that the vehicle may have been contaminated with hazardous materials, Sadecki said.
Precautions were taken, and haz-mat crews from both the county and the city of Santa Barbara were called in, he said.
It eventually was determined that there were no hazardous materials, Sadeki said.
The victim, identified Monday as Keri Dee Savala of Santa Barbara, was declared dead at the scene.
Highway 154 remained shut down more than three hours after the crash, but was reopened shortly before 9 a.m..
