Hungry? Tired? Have I got a deal for you!
Simply cook 1 package fresh tortellini in salted boiling water for six to eight minutes! In the meantime, sauté onions, garlic, or shallots in olive oil. Add chopped bell peppers, jalapeños, and tomatoes, and sprinkle on a touch of basil, oregano, salt, and pepper! Deglaze with dry vermouth! When tortellini are tender, drain and add to the sauce! Throw in a boatload of chopped fresh spinach and stir to wilt!
Voila! Dinner is served!!

I might have something like that for breakfast, except no tortellini. Just curly pasta.

That would also definitely work. The tortellini just makes it more substantial. If I were doing this with regular pasta, I'd probably end up adding some kind of cheese or beans.

Got in himmel. My garden is filled with lettuce that is about to go bad. (The heat is not good for all those delicate leaves.) Halp!

Oh! Um, get some flexible poles and some loosely woven muslin/something and make a shade wall? But high heat will make it bolt pretty quickly anyway. Eat it fast? Plant it in November next year?

A container filled with millions of Lego pieces fell into the sea off Cornwall in 1997. But instead of remaining at the bottom of the ocean, they are still washing up on Cornish beaches today – offering an insight into the mysterious world of oceans and tides.
"Let me see if I can find a cutlass," says Tracey Williams, poking around some large rocks on Perran Sands with a stick.
She doesn't manage that, but does spot a gleaming white, pristine daisy on the beach in Perranporth, Cornwall. The flower looks good for its age, seeing as it is 17 years old.
It is one of 353,264 plastic daisies dropped into the sea on 13 February 1997, when the container ship Tokio Express was hit by a wave described by its captain as a "once in a 100-year phenomenon", tilting the ship 60 degrees one way, then 40 degrees back.
As a result, 62 containers were lost overboard about 20 miles off Land's End – and one of them was filled with nearly 4.8m pieces of Lego, bound for New York.
No-one knows exactly what happened next, or even what was in the other 61 containers, but shortly after that some of those Lego pieces began washing up in both the north and south coasts of Cornwall. They're still coming in today.
A quirk of fate meant many of the Lego items were nautical-themed, so locals and tourists alike started finding miniature cutlasses, flippers, spear guns, seagrass and scuba gear as well as dragons and the daisies.
She says the ship's manifest – a detailed list of everything in the containers – shows a whole range of Lego items, not all sea-themed. After all this time "it's the same old things that keep coming in with the tide", particularly after a bad storm.

Fed: FBI agent falsified info in Bulger's informant file
An agent with the Inspector General's office was cross examined by Bulger's attorney yesterday.
James "Whitey" Bulger's FBI handler made up and falsified information contained in reports in Bulger's FBI informant file, a Department of Justice agent said Tuesday.
James Marra, an agent who conducted a review of Bulger's file, described some of the hundreds of reports in Bulger's file as "misleading or false" while being cross examined by Bulger attorney Hank Brennan.
Marra also said that former agent John Connolly wrote most of the reports contained in Bulger's file. Connolly, a corrupt FBI agent that worked with Bulger and his gang, is currently in jail.
"When I went through the FBI file that existed for Mr. Bugler I identified certain documents in there that were, in my opinion, fabricated by Mr. Connolly in regard to releasing information to Mr. Bugler and Mr. Flemmi," Marra said.
Marra said that the documents that were fabricated by Connolly were drawn up to protect himself and the mobsters from their criminal activities.
Bulger's lawyers have repeatedly insisted that the 83-year-old alleged mob boss was not a federal informant and that Connolly fabricated the informant file to further his own career.
Brennan tried to underscore that contention by repeatedly asking Marra if he knew firsthand that Bulger told Connolly the tips that Connolly wrote in Bulger's file. Marra said he did not.
Brennan also repeatedly referred to Bulger's informant file, a government evidence exhibit against Bulger, as "Mr. Connolly's file."
Also during the cross examination, Brennan focused on items that were missing from the file. Brennan said there should have been paperwork that Bulger would have had to have signed as part of his agreement to be an informant.
"I saw no acknowledgements by Mr. Bulger in here," Marra said.
Brennan also focused on John Morris, Connolly's FBI supervisor. He asked Marra about meetings between Bulger and Morris, including one time when he made dinner for Bulger at his home, but those meetings were not documented in the file.
Under questioning by Brennan, Marra said that all contact with an informant, negative and positive, should be documented.
Marra is likely to wrap up his time on the witness stand today and will be followed by Morris who received immunity from the government.

"From Hell, Hull and Halifax may the Good Lord deliver us!" That memorable farewell phrase employed by 16th century thieves was quoted at me just two weeks ago when I told a friend that I planned to take a day trip to Hull. "Why would you want to go there?" he asked, forgetting that "there" is the nominated City of Culture for 2017 (or he may have been simply incredulous of the nomination). The point is that Hull's reputation has been sullied in perpetuity by the fact that it once had a notoriously nasty gaol – and a wickedly good catchline with which to advertise it: there must have been other towns with equally awful gaols at the time but who remembers them?
Hull, or King's Town upon Hull as it was originally named in the 13th century (such was its importance as an international trading port), has seen its fortunes wax and wane over time. In recent decades the decline of its once prosperous fishing industry has been the cause of unemployment and deprivation. Civic pride was also bruised by the subsequent loss of identity and the impression of Hull as a miserable place thus perpetuated. The idea of a day-trip would not have sprung readily to my mind then. Like so many other cities, it has discovered the need to rejuvenate itself by establishing new industries for its economic base: and cultural tourism may turn out to be an important part of that. After all, history oozes from the Georgian bricks of the Old Town, as it does from the grand architecture of the late 19th century buildings sitting gracefully in the wide streets of the adjacent City Centre, where they accommodate some of the numerous museums.
And what of Halifax? It too has impressive city-centre architecture and, most remarkably, the magnificent Piece Hall, the famed market place built in 1779 by its cloth merchants and manufacturers and now a monument to 800 years of hand-woven textile production in the area. However, the part of Halifax to which thieves referred was the public square in which was erected a gibbet, an early form of guillotine, for the purpose of beheading those who stole more than 13 pennies worth of the precious textiles produced thereabouts. I suppose clever thieves would have taken care to steal less valuable lengths of cloth but, since the gibbet was operational for more than a hundred years, it seems there were not many attentive learners. Cromwell eventually put a stop to its use, though a replica is still in situ – more a curiosity than a deterrent, I suppose. I haven't been to Halifax lately but the Piece Hall, having undergone restoration, is soon to open as a visitor attraction containing boutiques, cafes etc. From little acorns...
Reputations are difficult to shake off: the passage of time does not necessarily erode them. Sometimes they just become entrenched in the psyche and nothing will dislodge them. Manchester, for example, is known as Rainy City despite the fact that there are seven other British cities with higher average rainfall. Some people like to believe what suits them, regardless of fact, as the recent election of Donald Trump seems to show: and a catchy slogan, such as make America great again, as has been demonstrated, only helps to reinforce their belief. I guess it's a lazy substitute for thinking.
Where there is evidence of change, we ought to look again at our preconceptions. Hull and Halifax have changed and their reputations deserve serious re-calibration, especially given their historical importance to the commercial foundations of modern Britain. As for Hell, however, there is no evidence that it even exists, so I am quite happy to leave its dreadful reputation in the hands of the believers.

Jan 11 (Reuters) - Shares in debt-laden British building and services company Carillion Plc sank 15 percent on Thursday in the absence of news on a deal needed to shore up its finances.
Many observers have warned that the 200-year old company, responsible for some of Britain's highest profile infrastructure projects, risks collapse if it does not reach a deal with lenders to restructure its finances.
The company, which employs 43,000 people, said on Saturday that it would meet creditors on Wednesday and that it could recapitalise or restructure its balance sheet in other ways.
By lunchtime on Thursday there was no word on the outcome of the talks.
Cabinet office minister Oliver Dowden said on Wednesday that the government was making "contingency plans for all eventualities" related to Carillion which is working on the HS2 high speed rail link between London and Birmingham and helps maintain Britain's roads, schools and hospitals.
The company, which also operates in Canada and the Middle East, has been fighting for survival after contract delays and a drop in new business left it grappling with losses of more than 1 billion pounds ($1.35 billion) in the first half of 2016.
Analysts estimate the company has debt and liabilities including provisions, pensions and accounts payable of as much as 1.5 billion pounds ($2 billion) when its market capitalisation has slumped to under 100 million pounds - less than a tenth of what it was this time last year.
In December, Carillion said discussions with stakeholders about its options to cut debt and avoid a breach of debt covenants were "progressing well".
The Wolverhampton-based firm has been selling assets to cut debt. Its problems have been compounded by pension obligations and delays in collecting cash from clients.
After the financial crisis, British construction companies bid low prices for long-running, fixed-price contracts to keep work coming in. This left them exposed whenever the projects faced delays or bigger than expected costs.
The broader industry is also suffering from delays in UK public spending decisions as Britain negotiates its departure from the European Union.
The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is investigating whether Carillion appropriately disclosed its financial position in the run up to a series of profit warnings issued in the past six months.
Last month, Carillion brought forward the start date for new chief executive Andrew Davies to Jan. 22. Davies, head of family-owned builder Wates Group and formerly with defence company BAE Systems, will replace interim CEO Keith Cochrane. ($1 = 0.7413 pounds)

Current assessments of the operational environment predict urban areas will challenge the ability of U.S. forces to operate cohesively, resupply, communicate, conduct reconnaissance, and achieve surprise. Densely populated areas with constricting topography and poor infrastructure, will make friendly vehicular and aerial movement more observable and easily disrupted for forces operating from or into these places. In this week's professional reading, "Objective Metropolis: the Future of Dense Urban Operational Environments," authors Jerome J. Lademan and J. Alexander Thew concur with current operational environment assessments and further predict, "cities of tomorrow will present new challenges where titanic populations and infrastructure density will combine with near-instantaneous flow of information to create a leviathan of complexity for the armed forces." They argue that current Army and Joint doctrine do not address the "unique fabric of crowded urban areas of operation". They offer four important challenges that must be considered when developing doctrine and tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) for forces operating in densely populated urban terrain:
- Cities' high-rise structures will challenge the maxim that the "high ground" presents advantageous terrain during military operations. Limited floor space and exfiltration routes may trap a unit by restricting their maneuverability. Units may quickly exhaust the manpower required to "dominate" this terrain by fighting continuously along vertical axes. Success in high-rise buildings might depend on units' ability to co-opt local expertise.
- At street level, movement through city corridors is severely restricted and completely determined by the relative layout of buildings and roadways. The work of denying "freedom of maneuver" is half achieved by the city itself, before any opposing force is applied. High-rise structures pose similar challenges to air operations, creating an urgent need for manned/unmanned teaming to cover all dead space with observation and direct fires.
- Main weapon systems on most combat vehicles, will not be able to traverse all potential threats. The large number of avenues of approach and potential defensive vantage points will overwhelm even the most skilled target acquisition systems and techniques in current use.
- The expansive subterranean domain provided by immense networks of subway tunnels, working train lines, steam and wastewater pipes, and electrical grid substructures is wholly unique to cities. This network effectively doubles the available routes for a force to move around in, since in many major cities, there are tunnels under every street. Means of communication underground are almost invariably limited to hardline "mine phones," or a deliberately established system of FM repeaters.
Lademan and Thew recommend that in developing doctrine and TTP's, leaders must understand the capabilities and limitations of military action in an urban environment. They further argue that the joint, interagency, intergovernmental, and multinational nature of city-bound operations requires interagency crosstalk, that active coordination and distribution of mission tasks across the myriad of battlefield players is vital, and critical local knowledge and experience provided by various municipal agents must be incorporated to achieve operational success. They conclude by recognizing that a the most fundamental level, cities are human domains and that no matter how complex the physical terrain of cities' infrastructure, the US military must recognize future military objectives in urban areas will be deeply embedded in the context of relationships. And they emphasize that while the development and ongoing refinement of tactics optimized for dense urban terrain is critical, understanding the intricacies of interactions between the population, host-nation forces, local authorities, US personnel, and other actors is equally as important.
Lademan and Thew's article is consistent with the Army Operating Concept (AOC) and the emerging Multi-Domain Battle (MDB) Concept. The AOC and MDB recognize that urban environments will degrade the ability to target threats with precision. Joint urban operations will require land forces capable of operating in congested and restricted urban terrain (to include subsurface, surface, supersurface) to close with and destroy the enemy. Perhaps most important, understanding the technological, geographic, political, and military challenges of the urban environment will require innovative, adaptive leaders and cohesive teams who thrive in complex and uncertain environments. Urban operations will require decentralized combined arms and joint capabilities at low levels. Because future enemies will act to remain indistinguishable from protected populations and infrastructure, combined arms units must possess mobility, protection, and precision firepower to fight for information, overmatch the enemy in close combat, and reduce the risk to non-combatants. Army forces also need cross-cultural capabilities that permit them to operate effectively among populations. Finally, Army forces will conduct operations in urban areas consistent with the concept of multi-domain battle – the synchronizing of cross-domain fires and maneuver to achieve physical, temporal, positional, and psychological advantages in order to achieve temporary domain dominance and allow defeat of the enemy across all domains.
Lademan and Thew's article is relevant to the following Army Warfighting Challenges:

It's such a joy for me to make Bath & Body Works haul for you guys! It's no secret that Bath & Body Works is one of my favorite things, ever! You'd think that store was made for me. Body washes? Candles? Tons of cute stuff? That really is right up my alley. In a way, it's almost a good thing they don't have any stores in Norway, because I would spend way too much time there. Today, I only have a small autumnal haul for you. I just picked up a few things this time, so shipping wouldn't be too extreme. I'm very happy with my little haul, and since filming I've tried everything but the hand soap. I was very pleasantly surprised by the fact that the mason jar candles, though small, have a great throw and manage to fill our living room. They also smell amazing, but quite different from their cold scent. The Leaves candle is perfect for autumn, and smells lika an apple/cinnamon mix. Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin is more of a holiday scent if you ask me, and it just smells like you're baking something delicious.
I would love for you to subsribe to my YouTube-channel, and be the first to know when I upload a new video, you can do that HERE.

While there are still a few hours left to the official announcement, many details of the "fastest DX11 GPU on the planet" seem to have been revealed by various partners, including MainGear, CyberPower, GigaByte, and EVGA. Nvidia's latest GPU will indeed be called the GeForce GTX 580, and is said to offer up to a 35 percent improvement in performance over the inimitable GTX 480. The GTX 580 has a 772MHz core clock speed, 512 CUDA processing cores, and a 192.4GBps memory bandwidth powering 1.5GB of 384-bit GDDR5 RAM, which is effectively clocked at 4GHz.
Other details have been by CRN, indicating a price of $499, three-way SLI support, 10.5-inch length, 6- or 8-pin power connectors, and 16 polymorph engines that are capable of processing 2 billion triangles per second, for the best tessellation performance. The GTX 580 also features a built-in hardware monitoring system that will also allow the user to dynamically adjust performance along each 12V rail.
[RELATED_ARTICLE]Benchmarks are forthcoming, and it's when we'll see how Nvidia's GF110 Fermi architecture - and all those CUDA cores, large memory bandwidth and GDDR5 RAM - does against the HD 5970, GTX 480, and HD 5870. Things are sure getting hot, and AMD's riposte is expected soon enough, with the high-end performance HD 6900 series, which includes the proposed the dual-GPU Antilles HD 6990. Calling the GTX 580 "Swift. Stealthy. Deadly.", Nvidia sure wants you to know that its flagship GPU is quieter and less power hungry than its predecessor, and you can see some of its power/consumption stats in our previous coverage, in the technical demonstration video highlighting its tessellation and COD: Black Ops performance

Kids get all excited about Snowdays, means no school. Well imagine, with puppy class under my collar including doing to chances to play with the agility tunnels and weave poles, my humans say I am going to agility obstacles and sub novice class [two different nights]. Monday rolls around, and everyone goes to work saying agility tonight. Then the snow falls, sorry Molly no class tonight. One sad little springer, so my nephew Shadow did some homeschooling, climbing. Now I have to do better, so I learned how to jump from the dining room table to the couch. Unfortunately, I took this shortcut in front of Mom, the table is going back to where it belongs. My Brother Little Bit (an 11 year old Yorkie) says it is my job not to walk on the floor if another surface is available. Shady also taught me how to dig out frozen manure in the flowerbed. We now get mouth checks whenever we come in. My mom has a bottle of honey in her hand and is going up to put it on my married sisters feet, I plan to be in on the lick it off party. This should be very funny, and I know she will be up in a hurry. Mom doesn't like people to sleep in and you can see the barefeet from the hall. Molly

Never underestimate the importance of water safety. According to NSC (National Safety Council) statistics, on average, about ten people die from drowning every day in the United States. Since each Ayres Hotel has a pool, and many of our hotel locations are close to the beach, it is our priority to emphasize and enforce water safety to prevent tragedies from occurring.
Precautions All Swimmers Should Take:
● Ensure the body of water matches your skill level: swimming in a pool is much different than swimming in the ocean, where the incoming tides require more strength and swimming skills.
● Do not dive or swim in unfamiliar areas: this is particularly important in oceans because there is the potential of harming yourself on sharp rocks. It is important to swim in designated areas that are supervised by lifeguards.
● Do not venture into deep waters if you do not know how to swim: swim lessons are available for all ages and skill levels.
● Never swim alone: make sure you swim when there is a lifeguard available or someone to supervise you.
● Do not try to fight a current: if you get caught in a current, do not fight it. Try to remain calm and float with it, or swim parallel to the shore until you can swim free.
● Do not consume alcohol while swimming: alcohol is oftentimes involved in a drowning because it impairs judgment and one's ability to practice proper water safety.
● Wear a lifejacket: when you go boating or participate in a water sport, make sure you wear a life jacket.
Water Safety and Young Children
NSC statistics reveal that drowning is the leading cause of death of young children. Remember to always be aware and present while your child is swimming. The following includes a list of safety precautions to follow with young children:
● Never leave your child unattended: if you need to leave the area, take your child with you. Furthermore, do not rely on lifeguards -- they are not babysitters and cannot supervise every swimmer at every moment.
● Enroll your child in swimming lessons: while swim lessons reduce the risk of your child drowning, it is still essential to carefully watch over your child.
● Wear a lifejacket: young children and inexperienced swimmers should wear life jackets in addition to being well supervised while swimming.
● Asking permission: it is important to teach your child that they must ask permission to go near the water so that you are aware of their location.
● Receive CPR training in case of an emergency.
● If your child is missing, check the water first.

This post is dedicated to my new-found love for Ms. Erykah Badu, the R&B and neo-soul singer with a voice like gold. I have to thank a friend of mine who re-introduced me to her music – it's all I've been grooving to this weekend.
I Want You is 10 minutes and 54 seconds of pure sex. Badu throws in a mix of various rhythms and a collaboration of soul, R&B and even electric guitar at the end. Her raw and raspy vocals add even more sex appeal – if you can handle it. It's the type of track that you don't really want to end because it just won't… let… go.
This musical genius of a song is almost 11 minutes long, but who's in a rush on a lazy Sunday? Trust me, it's well worth your enjoyment.

Antigua gets first female GG
Antigua and Barbuda's first female Governor General was sworn in today. Louisse Lake-Tack was appointed by Queen Elizabeth following the retirement of Sir James Beethoven Carlisle. He served as Governor General for 13 years and was the first Antiguan to hold the post.
According to www.caribbean360.com, "Louise Agnetha Lake-Tack was born on July 26, 1944 at Long Lane Estate in the Parish of St Phillip's in Antigua.
She was educated at the Freetown Government School before attending the Antigua Girls High School in St John's.
After graduation she migrated to the United Kingdom to study nursing at the Charring Cross Hospital. Following her studies, she was employed at the National Heart Hospital and the Harley Street Clinic.
Later she studied law and served as a magistrate from 1995 at both Marylebone and Horseferry Magistrate Courts. She also sat at Pocock Street Crown Court and Middlesex Crown Court to hear appeals from the lower courts.
Lake-Tack is a member of the Antigua and Barbuda National Association (London) for the last 24 years. She sat on the church committee of that group which was instrumental in arranging the annual Antigua and Barbuda Independence Church Service in London."
Welcome to a very small and unique club, Ms Lake-Tack. I think there were only two other female Governors-General in the region: the late Dame Nita Barrow of Barbados and Dame Pearlette Louisy of St. Lucia.

I arrive home after working 10 (very long) hours, at which point Rocco actually yells, "What's in the pan, wench?" Tired, confused, and totally out of sorts, I start pulling foodstuffs out of the cupboards and refrigerator. Forty-five minutes later, I fix Rocco a plate, put it on the dining room table, and call him to dinner.
Monday, July 23, 2007
I'm preparing for my trip the following day to meet Cindy in Memphis, a 240-mile drive round trip. Rocco freaks out, insisting my car is unsafe for the trip. (Never mind that the car hasn't had an oil change in the 29 months I've owned the [rebuilt] 1997 Mercury Sable, and yet it still gets me from Point A to Point B every single day. It's a miracle-mobile!) Rocco changes the oil, air filter, fuel filter, and spark plugs on my car. The car drives mostly like a dream, and I make it to and from Memphis without incident.
Tuesday, July 24, 2007
Rocco makes Magic Cookie Bars. While they're still warm, he puts a dollop of chocolate ice cream on them and brings me a bowl.
Friday, July 27, 2007
Rocco and I have cocktails (whiskey for me, Mai Tai for him) while watching Moulin Rouge.
I am, for all intents and purposes, married to a gay man.

The first introduction of Chip, Dale and Clarice to Disneyland was in 1955 using the Ice Capades costumes. Chip, Dale and Clarice used the same body and the same head design without any character characteristics, like Chip's "chocolate chip" nose and Dale's two front teeth. They all had the same head with a red nose and the same eyes. What made each other different from each other was that Chip and Dale would wear men's apparel while Clarice would wear an apron or a flower or simple poncho.

1960-1968: The Common Chip and Dale
Disney has created their own version of Chip and Dale. Similar to the Ice Capades, this version had different heads and different bodies. Chip and Dale had a white snout, and like before, they shared the same head, with no character characteristics. The chipmunks stop using men's apparel, because they eliminated Clarice.
Either Chip or Dale at Disneyland, 1960. davelandweb.com
1968-1982: Chipmunks on Steroids
The Disney costume department has updated version of Chip and Dale. They have designed Chip and Dale with more cartoony bodies and heads. Chip and Dale have five fingers.
These costumes were designed with fairly huge heads. The performer requirements for these chipmunks was about 5'5'' to 5'7'' and with the heads on, they made the chipmunks look huge, monstrous. When you think of chipmunks, you think of cute, small, little creatures, not goofy looking chipmunks just released from a experimental science lab. Other than the huge heads, the costumes were designed pretty nice for the time period.

1982-Present: Modern Chip and Dale
Chip and Dale receive a make-over. They now have lighter (in weight) bodies, smaller feet and they are now four fingered. Their heads are smaller than before, with a cartoony look and characteristics. These heads have eliminated the extra neck fabric that the previous one had.

2005-Present: Angry Clarice
Mad about you? Clarice sure is mad about Chip and Dale, literally. Clarice was intruded to the meet and greet family in 2005. She might have been introduced in the early 2000's, but the earliest date I could find was 2005. The reason I call Clarice "Angry Clarice" because of the expression on her face. The costume designers has chosen to give Clarice her flirty, diva face she has when she's singing in the short "Two chips and a miss." The problem is that the "flirty" expression looks fine in the cartoon, but as a permanent expression on a mascot, it looks like she's mad, specially the eyes. Her eyes have the expression "I'm going to chase you with a nutcracker" than "come and meet me." At least her mouth shows happiness.
As a mascot designer myself, the key element in a character head is the eyes, specially for little kids. Children immediately make direct eye contact with a mascot character. If they can't see the eyes or the eyes have the "wrong" expression, they will get scared. I know the Disney designers mean well when they designed Clarice, but I would change her eyes to an happier expression to match her two happy boyfriends. I adore the costume version of Clarice, but her eyes, why she mad at me?

Diva, flirty expression.
Happy, surprised expression.
Chip and Dale join the articulated head family. They are now able to open and close their mouths and blink. These heads are different than their regular heads, altho very similar. The articulated heads are shaggier than regular ones. Also the bodies of the articulated versions are larger and modified to meet the performing standards that require these special heads.
These versions of Chip and Dale only appear during the holidays at Disney World and promotional events, like Disney Parks and Disney Cruise Lines.

Dental and Vision Benefits Within the Affordable Care Act
Most of what you read and hear about the Affordable Care Act pertains to medical insurance benefits. But little is said about dental and vision insurance – two highly valued employee benefits.
The good news is that for dental and vision insurance, the message is simple: The majority of businesses can keep their current plans.
Purchasing coverage
All consumers, with a few exceptions, now are required to have medical coverage, regardless of the size of their employer. If they don't have Minimum Essential Coverage, they may be subject to a fine. Minimum Essential Coverage does not include dental and vision coverage.
Employers are not required to purchase health coverage for employees and their dependents through a health insurance exchange. They can typically keep their medical, dental and vision benefits with their current insurance carriers.
Employer Mandate
Employers with 100 or more employees are subject to the employer mandate. Employers in this group will need to offer minimum coverage (in other words, typical employer-sponsored medical coverage) to 70 percent of their full-time employees.
Employers with 50 to 99 employees will be subject to the same employer mandates beginning in 2016.
Family Dental and Vision Needs
In most families, members have different needs for dental and vision care. For example:
- Dependents may need LASIK, or the option of purchasing new eyeglasses annually or teeth whitening coverage, in addition to routine dental and vision exams.
- Adults often experience changes in their oral and vision health as they age, which may require services beyond preventive care to help them enjoy good overall health in their senior years.
- Children may need additional dental coverage for cosmetic orthodontia.
Families need flexible dental and vision coverage that can be customized to their specific needs. Benefit surveys show that people with dental and vision coverage tend to use their benefits. They are likely to schedule regular checkups and exams so doctors can evaluate the health of their teeth and eyes, and develop a treatment plan to address concerns.
Understanding Stand-Alone Plans
Stand-alone dental and vision benefits are sold independently from medical coverage, and these policies are not subject to most legal provisions. According to the National Association of Dental Plans, about 99 percent of Americans with dental coverage have a dental benefit policy separate from their medical policy.
At Ameritas, we focus primarily on stand-alone dental and vision plans that can be customized to employee group needs. We specialize in offering:
- dental and vision expertise
- customer service focused only on dental and vision coverage
- accurate pricing for plans that maintain long-term financial stability
- flexible and customizable benefits
- claims-paying systems designed specifically for dental and vision
- nationwide, credentialed provider network
- dental and vision wellness knowledge

Chapter LXXVII
Treats of apologies,
and love coming from church—We finesse with
the nabob to win me a wife—I am successful in my suit, yet the
lawyer is still to play the cards to enable me to win the game.
I arrived at Mr Masterton's, and walked into his room, when whom should I find in company with him but Harcourt.
"Japhet, I'm glad to see you: allow me to introduce you to Mr Harcourt—Mr De Benyon," and the old gentleman grinned maliciously, but I was not to be taken aback.
"Harcourt," said I, extending my hand, "I have to apologise to you for a rude reception and for unjust suspicions, but I was vexed at the time—if you will admit that as an excuse."
"My dear Japhet," replied Harcourt, taking my hand and shaking it warmly, "I have to apologise to you for much more unworthy behaviour, and it will be a great relief to my mind if you will once more enrol me in the list of your friends."
"And now, Mr Masterton," said I, "as apologies appear to be the order of the day, I bring you one from the general, who has requested me to make one to you for having called you an old thief of a lawyer, of which he was totally ignorant until I reminded him of it to-day."
Harcourt burst into a laugh.
"Well, Japhet, you may tell your old tiger, that I did not feel particularly affronted, as I took his expression professionally and not personally, and if he meant it in that sense, he was not far wrong. Japhet, to-morrow is Sunday; do you go to meeting or to church?"
"I believe, sir, that I shall go to church."
"Well, then, come with me:—be here at half-past two—we will go to evening service at St James's."
"I have received many invitations, but I never yet received an invitation to go to church," replied I.
"You will hear an extra lesson of the day—a portion of Susannah and the Elders."
I took the equivoque, which was incomprehensible to Harcourt: I hardly need say, that the latter and I were on the best terms. When we separated, Harcourt requested leave to call upon me the next morning, and Mr Masterton said that he should also pay his respects to the tiger, as he invariably called my most honoured parent.
Harcourt was with me very soon after breakfast, and after I had introduced him to my "Governor," we retired to talk without interruption.
"I have much to say to you, De Benyon," commenced Harcourt: "first let me tell you, that after I rose from my bed, and discovered that you had disappeared, I resolved, if possible, to find you out and induce you to come back. Timothy, who looked very sly at me, would tell me nothing, but that the last that was heard of you was at Lady de Clare's, at Richmond. Having no other clue, I went down there, introduced myself, and, as they will tell you, candidly acknowledged that I had treated you ill. I then requested that they would give me any clue by which you might be found, for I had an opportunity of offering to you a situation which was at my father's disposal, and which any gentleman might have accepted, although it was not very lucrative."

What to Do When You're Struggling to Pay Off Your Loans
Graduating college, many of us are worried about starting our lives as adults in the real world. There are a number of new responsibilities to take on as fresh, college graduates such as living expenses, transportation expenses, the costs of food and water, and perhaps most frightening, the dreaded student loan debt. Going into college, I knew that I would be taking out student loans to help fund my education as much as possible, with the generous help of my parents along the way.
Student Loans -- can't live with 'em and wish you could live without them. Unfortunately, for most of us, student loans are an inevitable and unavoidable aspect of the college experience. In present society, it has become increasingly more difficult to fund a college education without the addition of some supplemental form of payment aka student loans (unless you're really lucky, which in that case- good for you). With an increasing amount of students going to college, more students and parents are using loans as a means to pay for increasing tuition rates. According to a report from the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), "Nearly half of student loan borrowers graduate school owing at least $20,000 – which is double the share of borrowers a decade ago."
Managing student loans can be difficult, especially if you don't fully understand the scope of what you've signed up for. Are you a college graduate? Are you having trouble paying back your student loans? Nervous and scared about the possibility of not being able to pay back your loans on time? Check out these five tips that will help you effectively balance your budget and help you manage your student loans so you can sleep peacefully at night!
When You're Struggling With Loan Payments
1. If You Miss One Payment: I know that the thought of missing a payment on your loans seems terrifying and like the end of the world, but it truly isn't! Just like with any other payment that needs to be met on time, there are ways to catch up! Attorney Joshua Cohen, who specializes in student loans, claims "Missing a single [federal loan] payment isn't the end of the world, and is easy to fix." If you fall behind on a payment, you can either try and make it up or apply for forbearance or a deferment.
2. If You've Fallen Behind and Can't Catch Up: Sometimes we go through a rough patch in life. Perhaps you just lost your job and are having a hard time finding employment, or maybe you recently lost a loved one. When situations like this happen, it's easy to fall behind on payments, but that doesn't mean there's no way out. First, apply for deferment or forbearance which can temporarily postpone your payments until you're financially able to do so. Another option is to contact your servicer to switch your repayment plan. There is an option to have an income-driven repayment based on very little income, which can reduce your monthly payments to zero dollars.
3. When There's No Hope: If these options still aren't enough, there is still hope. Nancy Mann Jackson writes, "Federal loans don't default until payments are 270 days (or nine months) past due, and they offer several get-back-on-track plans, including loan rehabilitation and loan consolidation. In some cases, including permanent disability, federal loans can be forgiven or canceled."
How to Save Some Extra Money
1. Cut Back Spending: This tip seems obvious, but I think its one we all (including myself) need to hear. We as college students, like to spend money on frivolous things until we embody our stereotype of the broke college kid. Whether we're going out to bars with friends on the weekends or buying takeout for the third night in a row, these seemingly small purchases add up. So, stop eating out and cut ties with your favorite coffee place, because all this is doing is putting a hole in your wallet. Instead of spending your money on things you definitely do not need at the moment, put it in a savings account or literally a piggy bank to keep you from spending. This little bit of money here and there will help you in the long run when you're paying off debt.
2. Coupon: Have you ever seen that show Extreme Couponing? If you haven't it's a reality show on TLC that documents individuals who are obsessed with couponing, with the ultimate goal of paying the very least at the store for the items (with coupons). Some of these are outrageous and I don't recommend extreme couponing, however, finding deals and coupons on items here and there will definitely add up. Check out sites like RetailMeNot and Slick Deals for coupons and promotions that can save you big bucks!
3. Sell Your Items: One of the greatest things about technology today is e-commerce. You can buy and sell just about anything online nowadays, which is awesome for people like me who have a bunch of useless junk lying around. If you have collectible toys from your childhood, clothes that you don't wear, books collecting dust on your shelf, etc. consider selling them online! There are plenty of sites to sell on, with the most popular being eBay, Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, and Poshmark. Not only will you be effectively downsizing, but you'll also be making a quick buck!
Being a college graduate with no real grasp of the reality of the adult world can be a scary thing. When you're drowning in debt, it can be even more frightening. However, these small steps can help you manage your loans and save money in the long run, giving you the financial freedom you deserve! As always, good luck!

Modern Living! A Mid-Century Modern Home By O2 Architecture
Architecture is captivating in much of the same ways that art is. Today we get a prime example of just that as we get a look at a stunning home, A Mid-Century Modern Home By O2 Architecture. This beautiful home is known as the Las Palmas Heights Residence, and was designed for clients wanted an open plan living area built with durable materials. The result is a contemporary approach on a sloped site that has split into two rectangular sections that form a 'T' shape.
Inside the open floor plan features the main living areas all sharing the same space with ample views from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows and doors. The bedrooms and bathrooms offer a more private appeal, including the private master wing. Outdoors we find a beautiful pool and lounge area while next to the lounge is a home office that provides access to the master bedroom. The office opens at the corner, effortlessly bringing the indoors out and vice versa. Check out the excellent home in the images below and speak your mind on it after the jump. Stay tuned for more amazing architecture coming very soon!

I will be traveling to Rio de Janiero on Tuesday night, returning the following Tuesday morning. I will be preaching at the Church of the Redemptor next Sunday and meeting a number of leaders including the new bishop as we further our companion relationship with that diocese. (Our parish relationship actually slightly predates and parallels the relationship between our diocese and that one.) I will be looking at various projects that might provide a particular focus for that relationship as we continue life together in some sense and which might be a point of engagement for us and also a recipient of funds offered in support pf the millennium development goals.

A headmistress has praised the community spirit which helped her school to rise from the ashes of a serious fire.
Three classrooms and an office at a pre-preparatory building of Westbourne House School were destroyed by a fire in January 2015, which investigators found had been sparked by an electrical fault in a fuse box on the roof.
With rebuilding finished and the replacement of lost equipment expected to be completed by September, Victoria Homewood, head of pre-prep, described how a concerted effort from the school community ensured the fire had as little impact on the children as possible.
Miss Homewood said: "The community spirit at Westbourne is really amazing. People just dropped everything to help us."
Those efforts included gifts of toys and books, with some children even donating their pocket money to help with the rebuild. Incredibly, it took only four days for Westbourne to be ready to take back the 140 pre-prep children.
Miss Homewood said: "We ordered two temporary huts and the community rallied around to create their own world with stairs going up them and gardens. We had the place fumigated and made sure everything was health and safety ready and deemed we could come back.
"It was crazy. We were all working round the clock. We were just trying to make sure the children's education didn't suffer."
The ground staff worked to ensure everyone had power, heat and water while the school's matrons washed and dried some 80 bags of clothes which had been infused with smoke.
The hard work certainly paid off and there were smiles when the youngsters returned after their four-day break.
Miss Homewood said: "When I got them back on that first day, I made everyone dance to make it a light experience. It could have all been completely depressing but it wasn't. We got to get new books – every cloud has a silver lining."
The rebuilding work took around six months and was managed by award-winning Chichester architectural practice jbA.
With a rebuild necessary, the school took the opportunity to also redesign the building. Offices were moved to a more practical location by the main entrance, while large glazed screens were installed in classrooms, with interconnecting oak doors and a glazed door system in the new offices.
John Brown, managing director of jbA, said: "We have loved being involved in the rebuilding of such an important part of our local community. Some of us have had children at Westbourne, so the school is very close to our hearts."
The children certainly appreciated the work, giving 'hero' helmets and badges to some of the team.
Through collaboration with Martin Sewell Builders, the building work was finished in time for the new term in September 2015, leaving the school to face the challenge of replacing lost furniture and other resources.
The latest milestone on Westbourne's journey back to full working order is due to be reached shortly with the setting up of their library.
Miss Homewood said it would take the rest of the academic year for everything to be back up and running.
Recognising that journey would not have been so smooth without the help and support of the school community, she added: "I was just so grateful and appreciated all their support and encouragement to get us all back."

This is a charming antique watercolor, signed at lower right "Vl. Titelbach", and dated there 1884, the subject a celebratory procession of country folk complete with ox-drawn wagons, horse, drums, pistol being fired in the air and other quaint details. The work is on old browned paper, and it measures 14" by 21" inside the mat. There is no glass (I've discarded it---was cracked when this was found, in Maine). Presently it is housed only in a simple modern metal frame. The scene seems to be perhaps in southeastern Europe somewhere, perhaps the Balkans, or Hungary, or even northern Greece, judging from the clothing. It does NOT seem to be in Germany or alpine regions of Europe, despite the Germanic artist name. The drawing has old folds as seen and there is a small 3/4" triangular loss in the paper at extreme bottom center edge. The detail is impressive; most would think this a print but I guarantee it is an original drawing. SEE HUNDREDS OF DRAWINGS, PAINTINGS AND PRINTS NOW IN MY SHOP.

I visited Lincoln Cathedral library last week. It would be fairer to say libraries, because there is more that one collection, specialising in different books and documents dating from the 1400's up to the present day. The collections are held in separate rooms: the Reading Room holds books dated from 1801 upwards that are all about cathedral architecture and artefacts; the Wren library holds the medieval collection and books up to 1800 of diverse subjects; the collection in the gate house at Exchequer Gate holds books about theology. All of these can be read by prior appointment with the librarian, Julie Taylor (firstname.lastname@example.com).
As well as diversity of collection, there is a diversity of Architecture. The reading room appears to be in a Victorian extension to the Cathedral, but a nearby set of steps leads to the original medieval (15th century) half timbered reading room where the library had a collection of books that were chained to large long lectern like benches. Apparently the Cathedral kept a chest full of books that could be borrowed. If a book was lost, then the borrower had to replace it with a book of a similar financial value, not the same subject matter, so that meant the collection became very random. It is possible that the mediaeval room was constructed and the books chained to prevent then getting lost. It would be really interesting to find out if that system could work these days?
A door in the middle of the mediaeval library leads to a beautiful piece of reformation architecture. Restrained, perfectly proportioned and elegant, the long room above the north cloister was designed by Christopher Wren for Michael Honywood who was the Dean of Lincoln from 1660 to 1681. He had gathered a large collection of books about many subjects, including beauty tips for ladies! On his death he left the collection to the Cathedral. Current day librarians that are concerned about classification would have a nightmare: the books are not arranged in conceptual order, but are simply arranged by height; large on the lower shelves and small at the top! This room has undergone some recent restoration and the walls are now painted in the original style. More restoration is taking place. Many of the books are quite unique, others have similar versions elsewhere. Many of the books are of Dutch origin because Dean Honywood spent some years in Holland.
Although none of the collection is currently digitised, the library does have an on-line catalogue which can be searched from the cathedral website (http://lincolncathedral.heritage4.com/HeritageScripts/Hapi.dll/search1).

I'm looking for a set of turned pine antique table legs for a barnboard dining table I'm building for a customer. 29" high and the turning itself doesn't really matter (the simpler the better). It's a big table so 4 1/2" square or so at the skirt would be nice. All of these tables I've built before have used straight or tapered legs, never turned. I do have a source for new legs here in Vermont (tablelegs.com) and for old barnboard I could turn if I had a lathe and knew how to use it. Anyone have a supplier for these or know of a source? Thanks.

Faith and Fanaticism
There's a very fine line between faith and fanaticism. Faith is when you believe in something strongly. Fanaticism is when you believe in it so strongly that you wish to impose it on everyone else. Anyone who does not believe what you believe is an outcast.
Fanaticism does not have to be confined to religion -- even though it is perhaps provides the most glaring examples of bigotry and fanaticism. You will find fanaticism in politics, social values and mores and even in art and music.
Very recently a friend of mine found religion. I was happy for him (still am!) because it certainly improved him. He stopped drinking, became health conscious and his people skills improved. But a few months into practicing his new religion, he became so convinced that it was the ONLY TRUE religion that he has become unbearably persistent in insisting others should follow suit.
Call him out for a cup of coffee and he's most likely to ask you to attend a religious discourse instead. Call him over to lunch or dinner and he will insist that you first become a vegetarian. Tell him you are not feeling well and he will ask you to perform certain religious practices instead of going to the doctor.
If I tell my friend that someone has met with an accident. I am most likely to be told that it happened because that person did not follow the teaching of "his" religion. Tell him someone's child had died, and he he's most likely to say that anyone who does not follow the "true path" will face suffering. Those who follow other faiths are caught up in a whirlpool of ignorance.
To me, this is not faith. This is fanaticism. Though perhaps in a more subtle and non-violent form.
Faith does not preach or threaten. Faith does not entice or tempt. Faith is being faithful to one's belief. If one really has faith, it should not be difficult for that person to accept the faith of others. If I really love my wife should I have problems believing that someone else loves his wife just as much or maybe more?
True faith is not deterred by what others say. Nor is it swayed. Faith is firm as a rock and can move rocks. But faith, when it tries to bring others to the fold through threats and manipulation, it's fanaticism.
The truly faithful attract others by becoming living examples that attract others to their faith. They become lighthouses for those who are storm tossed by hopelessness and despair. They never become policemen of morality. Nor do they wear the judge's wig.
True faith is attractive. Fanaticism is repulsive.

How's Your Hearing?
Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Nov 2, 2016 (message contributor)
Summary: Are you able to discern what Abba is saying or are you not in the family?
1Cor 2:14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
People who know me and have read my books say that they "sound" exactly like me. It is like talking to me in person. My wife and kids would understand them best since they have lived with me. The best books you could ever read are those that are written by people you know really well or have had least met.
I use the illustration that if we were stationed overseas, you might let me read your letter from home. I would recognize people's names, street or town names, but there would be many things I might not understand because you and that person experienced things I have not or there is an allusion to an event or joke that I do not get at all because I had to be there to understand.
I read the Bible very infrequently before I was saved in '75 and really did not get it. I attended church now and then. I could quote creeds and such, but they had no real impact on my life because I just didn't get it. It was like reading a biography of some one that I was forced to read in school. It was just words and a few stories that I knew.
In '75, I went to church to get a guy off my back and ended up with Jesus in my heart. Then the light turned on. The Bible literally became alive. I could sense God's presence guiding me through it and even telling me to back up and park on a passage or two that I apparently really needed to understand.
What made the difference? I was now related to the author and it was meaningful to me because it was like being at a book signing where the author explains the background and answers questions of people who have read the book.
My spirit was now alive and the Holy Spirit could now teach me because I was able to learn. He was building my spiritual discernment so I understood things that were just vague concepts and nice stories. I was now a child of the author and could understand Abba/Daddy when He spoke.
Do you find the Bible difficult to understand? It may be that it is because it is not a letter from home like it is now for me. You get names and some stories but the rest is like reading an unknown language. It may well be that you are not related to the author and need to be adopted into the family. You may also be new in the family and just need to be patient and allow Him to teach you.
A man may read my mail and not be interested in the topics or because he has not experienced what the writer and I have experienced he may not believe them. That does not invalidate or change my mail in any way. It is his issue. The same is true with God's letters. They were written for His people. Others will not understand. They do not have His Spirit to teach them,
Be saved today, by putting your faith/trust in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. When you are born again and the Holy Spirit moves in He will teach you.
Be careful not to get so wrapped up in the teachings of a denomination that your ears cannot hear the Spirit. After all, He was highly involved with writing the letters so He can best explain or interpret them.
Men sometimes get their spiritual ears full of wax made up of sin or pride so that they no longer hear the still, small voice of the Spirit thus making mistakes and their own doctrines that divide the family. If your earthly teachers are not lining up with the Master Teacher then you need to find new earthly teachers. Listen closely to Abba and you will hear the truth. Maranatha!

Blossoming Garden Solar Light
There are a great deal of garden lights to choose from if you're searching for something to add to your plants. The Blossoming Garden Solar Light absorbs solar power like most outdoor lights, but it it uses up all of that power for more than the LED light. This motorized flower blooms every single morning and closes up at night.
There is a very small solar panel attached to the bottom of the stem. The panels charge up the rechargeable batteries. They then in turn power the LED light and flower petals that automatically open and close. The stem itself is metal with a bright bronze finish and the whole thing stands 16 and ½ inches tall. When you purchase the light you'll get to choose between pink or white petals. The unfortunate thing is that these are sold individually instead of in sets. Which means you might want to choose these $34.95 lights for accents used sparingly.

These lights are really cool, but I can't imagine they're particularly bright?

Prominent German conservative Peter Hintze dies at 66
BERLIN – Peter Hintze, a deputy speaker of Germany's Parliament who was close to Chancellor Angela Merkel, has died. He was 66.
Merkel's conservative Christian Democratic Union said Sunday that Hintze, who had been suffering from cancer, died during the night. Merkel said in a statement that the party had lost "one of its outstanding personalities."
During a six-year stint as the party's general secretary, responsible for day-to-day political strategy, Hintze organized election campaigns for then-Chancellor Helmut Kohl in 1994 and 1998.
He served Merkel as a deputy minister in the early 1990s when she was minister for women and families. After the Christian Democrats returned to government in 2005, he served as a deputy economy minister and the government's coordinator for aviation policy.

Can you confirm the method and breakdown is it credit card authorization and then expiration date 2nd? For some reason both fields reverted to "Click Edit" option but I just changed it. Not sure if I did it by accident. Please assist? My most recent client is having issues submitting payment, but it wasn't an issue before. Also if I manually complete authorization will that push it through?Page URL:
- CharlieAnswered on August 19, 2015 at 01:24 PM
May I know if you are referring to the form titled "Lez Journeys Registration Form" in your account?
I see it looks like you have already fixed it? It's possible that your form was affected by the recent issue, we had word from our developers that there was an error in the Payment integration due to an update made by our developers, but they have already fixed it, although you might need to update the integration itself. Apologies for the inconvenience.
I also see that you have manual fields that ask for credit/debit card details, aside from the payment integration that you already have, is this correct? Please do note that we do not allow forms asking for credit card or bank details as this mimics a phishing form, please see our Terms of Use under Phishing section. If you want to ask for payment, you'll need to integrate the 3rd party payment processors that we support, please see this link: https://www.jotform.com/help/323-Mastering-Payment-Form-Integrations-with-JotForm.
If you want to allow payment authorization in your payment integrations, you can do that by following this guide: https://www.jotform.com/help/292-How-to-Enable-Payment-Authorization
When you say "manually complete authorization", are you referring to the authorization on the properties field OR are you referring to the "Incomplete Payments"? If you complete an incomplete payment submission, it will not trigger or complete the transactions, please check this guide: https://www.jotform.com/help/135-How-to-View-Incomplete-Payments
Do let us know if you need further assistance on this.
Thank you.

NOT "duck, duck, goose." According to the StarTribune:
We play Duck, Duck, Gray Duck, while the rest of the planet plays the inferior Duck, Duck, Goose...
The games begin the same way. Participants sit in a circle, while the person who is "it" circles the group, tapping each player. That's where the differences start. In DDG, the tapper says only "duck" until using the word "goose," at which point the tappee jumps up and gives chase.DDGD is more elaborate. To each "duck" designation, the tapper also adds a descriptive color, such as "red duck" or "yellow duck." The chase starts when the tapper dubs someone "gray duck."..The impetus behind his sudden national prominence was a column in the online news source BuzzFeed. Minnesota native Katie Heaney wrote about growing up playing Duck, Duck, Gray Duck, only to discover as an adult, much to her dismay, that the kids in the rest of the country are "playing some abomination version called Duck, Duck, Goose."

What Ion Exchange Is – and What it Is Not
From the above mentioned information, it is extremely obvious this compound is among the most commonly used in the business. Basic compounds cannot be analysed on silica. Both molecules will merely react if they've enough energy. To be able to attain this, adsorbed eluent molecules need to be displaced. As is true of all cationic species, acidic in addition to bases, only a little bit of the entire exchangeable ions exist in the soil solution at once. An endeavor to list due to the fact that many forms of chromatography as possible is made within this write-up. Distillation is quite perfect for filtering contaminated H20 as it can eliminate distinct sorts of impurities and contaminants like fluoride, lead, chemicals, chlorine together with organisms, hence, producing 99.9% pure H20.
There's a case of an elegant way of processing stable metallic complexes. With the data triangulation procedure, and validation of information through primaries, the precise values of the total parent market dimensions and individual market sizes are determined and confirmed within this study. Then there's in addition the price of the electricity to run it. The reaction rate will become slower as the soil gets more acidic.
What Ion Exchange Is – and What it Is Not
The overall capacity of resin isn't a constant at all flowrates. The bottom-up approach was used to estimate the industry size, regarding value and volume. The top-down approach was implemented to validate the industry size, with respect to value.
Softener salts employed for softening hard water are essentially zeolite minerals. For such appliances, it must be free from ions responsible for hardness. Most plating process it is used to cleanse the surface of the parts after each process bath. Water with a greater pH is known as basic or alkaline, and water with a decrease pH is called acidic. Despite the fact that hard water does not result in health-related issues, other mentioned troubles are rather significant and have to be addressed. If you prefer to generate quality soft water, slow down.
There's an impressive quantity of processing procedures and technologies for industrial water purification. There are numerous technologies developed which are used for desalination like reverse osmosis, electro dialysis, distillation along with vacuum freezing. Moreover, pharmaceutical companies also apply these methods to prepare large amounts of pure compounds necessary to prepare medicines. To discover more you are able to get in touch with your regional water company (see list at base of article). Nowadays an ordinary supplier provides several hundreds of unique columns and ship them with a huge amount of application notes. Commercial product cannot be applied as such.
The procedure is starts from hard H20 and finishes on soft H20. The procedure for pyrolysis is followed by the normal process of gas chromatography. It is done within a configuration referred to as electro dialysis cell. The procedure for de-ionization is comparable to the ionization procedure. Once this practice occurs, both atoms are attracted to one another by their positive and negative charges. The distillation procedure demands bulky systems which acquire large quantities space on kitchen countertops. This procedure was used to figure out this task.
