Synthesis and Characterization of Cellulose Carbamate from Wood Pulp, Assisted by Supercritical Carbon Dioxide
This paper considers the modification of wood-derived cellulose assisted by supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2). Cellulose carbamate derivatives were successfully prepared from softwood pulp at 150 °C and 3000 psi for 6 hours. Compared with conventional methods, SC-CO2 was shown to be more efficient in the modification of wood-derived cellulose. The modified cellulose had a considerable increase in nitrogen content. During the characterization Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetry (TG), and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FE-SEM) were employed to investigate the structural and morphological changes in modified cellulose from wood.

Popularly known as Pammi of Des Mein Nikla Hoga Chand, Sangita Ghosh was last seen in the television serial Viraasat and then she suddenly disappeared from the industry. All her fans, rest assured, all is well with her. "Sangita is just taking a break. Her parents are unwell and she is busy tending to them,†a source reveals.
When we finally manage to get Sangita on the phone, a cheerful voice says, "Oh, I'm perfectly fine, thank you. It's just that I am keeping a low profile these days.â€
While Sangita is awaiting the release of her debut film, Dharmesh Darshan's Bhanvraa – Love in Aggression, we ask her if there's less work coming her way these days. "Actually, I have taken the conscious decision of staying at home for a while. I've even bought myself a new house and I'm just enjoying life these days. I have worked hard and earned sufficient money… it's now time to spend and take it easy. Of late, I've been travelling a lot too. I've now seen quite a few places abroad.â€
So when does Sangita plan to be back in action? "There is a little more to travel, places to see. And then of course, I'll be back,†Sangita promises.

Physical Examination
Recovery Period
Physical examination - assessing general level of health
Before you undergo any procedure, our experts will assess your overall health condition. You will undergo a complete physical checkup. We may also be required to run scans in order to check the health of your internal organs like the liver, heart, kidney etc. Some of the medication used during the recovery process could cause problems with internal organs, so it's important to know how well they're functioning beforehand, in order to minimize the risk of infection if you are not in the pink of health.
If you have a cancer related condition, then a biopsy may have to be done, in order to find out if the cancer is remission.
Recovery after the bone marrow transplant depends your health before the transplant, so a thorough physical examination is absolutely crucial and will determine the rate of recovery and indicate the chances of recurrence of cancer.
Go to Top
Harvesting - obtaining stem cells to be used in transplant
After physical examination is completed, stems cells are harvested. The commonly used method in adults involves removing blood from the body, separating stem cells from other cells and then returning the blood to the body.
Alternatively, stem cells are directly removed from the bone marrow of the hip bone using a special needle and syringe. This may be recommended for certain conditions that require a transplant, or if the donor is a child.
Go to Top
Conditioning - preparing body for the transplant
As part of conditioning you'll be given a range of medicines to get you ready for the cell transplant. This is called conditioning treatment and involves using high doses of chemotherapy and occasionally radiation. It is carried out to destroy the existing bone marrow cells and make room for the transplanted tissue, destroy any existing cancer cells and to stop the immune system from working, in order to reduce the risk of the transplant being rejected.
Conditioning usually takes between four to seven days. During which time you'll need to stay in hospital.
Go to Top
Transplanting the stem cells
Transplant is normally possible one or two days after conditioning has finished, where the donated stem cells are passed into the body through the central line. This process may takes between one to several hours to complete, depending on the type of blood cells being used.
Transplant is not painful and you'll be awake throughout the procedure
Go to Top
Recovery period - monitoring for complications or side effects
Transplant generally leaves you feeling weak, you may experience vomiting, diarrhoea and/or a loss of appetite.
The initial stage of recovery involves waiting for stem cells to reach the bone marrow and start producing new blood cells. This is known as engraftment and normally occurs 15-30 days after the transplant takes place. During this period you will need a highly nutritious diet with high protein requirement.
As your white blood count is low, you will need to stay in a germ-free environment. Once engraftment has occurred, your bone marrow will begin to produce blood cells. However, you will be weak from the effects of the chemotherapy and still risk developing infection, as it can take as long as one to two years for the immune system to get strong.
Most people are well enough to be discharged from hospital between one and three months after undergoing a bone marrow transplant. However, if you develop an infection, you may not be able to leave the hospital for more than three months after the transplant.

Dear Caleb and OpenAg Community!
I wanted to introduce myself - I am a student's at Harvard's new Master in Design Engineering program, and the first year topic covered the Food System. My studio partner Ramon and I are interested in sharing our work and learning more about MIT's Open Agriculture.
Our first year project proposal was to create a network of shared agricultural clusters to help small and mid-scale farmers to access the market and earn a greater share of their profits.The clusters would act as food processing and distribution facilities with the mission in increase quality, and give a regional identity/branding to the products. In addition, by establishing long term contracts with large institutions such as Universities and Hospitals, we could build long term purchasing contracts, and give local farmers greater financial security.
The project is still developing, and as we move forward with our advisors, we are interested in incorporating new technology into our platform, therefore it would be our pleasure to meet with a team at the Media Lab in the coming week to learn more about MIT's Open Agricultural Initiative. We believe that there is a great possibility for overlap, and we would like to learn more about your community.
If you are free Friday the 11th, we could drop by the Media Lab during the day.

Part of the fun of Diner en Blanc is the preparation. Guests who attend this annual white party that originated in Paris in 1988 have to bring their own table, seats, table linens, food, centerpieces and be fabulous in white. Not cream, but white.
On the evening of Sept. 8, more than 800 gathered in several locations in and around Downtown Pittsburgh and waited for directions to the secret location. Part of the mystique of Diner En Blanc is keeping the location secret until the evening of the event. As a matter of fact, guests don't know where they are going until about 30 minutes before the dinner. This year the location was right on the field of Highmark Stadium. It was a beautiful sight to see hundreds walking into the stadium dressed in white. Once they were on the field all quickly worked to get their tables set up in time for the linen napkin wave which signals the start of dinner. You could see the difference between the novices and the veterans. Many brought over the top centerpieces to compete in the centerpiece completion, others were happy to get set up and seated.
September 8 was a beautiful crisp evening and Highmark Stadium offered a beautiful view of city during the event. The evening featured classical music during dinner, artist Kim Novak, and a DJ for dancing after dining. Hosts Krystal Vangura, Lorraine Dinatale and Trisha Daniel say there were pleased with year three and plans for year four are already in the works. Go to Pittsburgh.dinerenblanc.com to register.

« Speechless. Blah blah blah. | Main | Just some little quirks. »
April 21, 2006
If you are ever in the Los Angeles area and you want a most excellent Thursday evening, filled with food and beverages and yarn and chitchat and a wide variety of what I think are hands-down the most interesting women (and sometimes guys) in all of the city, you need to come to Stitch 'n Bitch at the original Farmer's Market, on 3rd and Fairfax. It starts every Thursday around 6:30 or 7 p.m. and goes until 9:30 or 10 p.m., and ...
... time for some maudlin reminiscences here! Because this is what I do! Just ignore me and click on the pictures if you aren't up to getting your introspection on this a.m. I mean really.
See, there was a time, pretty recently, when I would not really leave my house except to go to work, and the most basic shopping and errands and so on. Then when the real sadness set it, it was followed by fear. Fear that maybe I was so unpalatable not only did my husband flee, leaving a wake of destruction in his absence, but perhaps others would be as displeased, and ya'll know. I was brought up a nice Southern girl with a dominant people-pleaser gene (it's on the same node as the "loves fried foods" gene.) What had gone wrong? When had I moved from people pleaser to people-displeaser?
This is how it goes when you get your heart broken, and your ass increases in both density and volume, and you go to a place of solitude and wallowing -- a place where sure, if I were stronger and better and perhaps medicated, I would not have to go. But alas. I'm just a person, a pretty regular person, with challenges of my own and that's what happened. Locked the doors. Looked down.
Before long, I didn't even want to go to the grocery store (OK, not truly a sign of sickness) but when the day came that I actually chose to stay home rather than go to Target with Jennifer, dire times were upon us. It's not normal when a red-blooded "I shall prop up the economy single-handedly so the terrorists don't win!" kind of girl loses the will to bargain shop.
Then one day out of the blue, Ellen sent me an email, and invited me to come to Stitch 'n Bitch (though ya'll, nobody has to be invited, I'm pretty sure Ellen just knew I was a recluse) and after much hemming and hawing, I went. And I met people. Real people. And last night, I sat next to Faith and she grinned ear to ear and said, "Laurie, I love this group of people. Look at us! People are hugging and catching up, and smiling and it's so great..." and she's right. It is great. There was Jennifer, laughing and tangled up in yarn, and Gwen was there with her new engagement ring (!!!) and we missed Sara, who has a biscuit in the cooker if you know what I mean and I think you do, and I felt like I was in a room with people I'm lucky to know. Even if sometimes I'm too tongue-tied to say much. Or the more usual scenario: when I blather away like a mindless dumaii.
And yet they don't seem displeased at all. It's been the happiest addition to my life, this group of people. Proving that even when it's scary to leave your house and meet new folks, as long as they're armed with yarn and a sense of humor (which our group has in spades) then you know you're on the right path to somewhere. And that path will probably pass by a yarn store.
If you're lucky.

Remind me one day to tell you the story of Jen and this yarn; me & Faith & Faith's cleavage; Natalie makes the coolest stuff ever.

I'm gonna document it here.
It was 22.35pm Monday 16th Oct 2017 and I was talking to my fiance on the phone getting ready to end the click when a flash of light occured out of my living room window.
I was standing looking out the window and saw nothing.
Assuming it was a car but the street is quiet. We live in a residential area but in a small cul-de-sac and in the country. We don't get a ton of traffic.
I'm documenting this because if your a follower of mine you know what a flash of white light means to me.
I'm wondering if it's a time space rip. All I know is every time I see one, I end up going somewhere lol
At least it's not as exhausting as it used to be. Still really painful though.
I can't even describe what it feels like where it would make sense to anyone reading this.
But it's a cross between feeling like your entire molecular structure is imploding in on itself then a sensation of feeling like your falling off. Imagine your reality was a page and you slipped off the side as you tucked under the page into nothingness in gravity and time.
Gravity pulling you with the force of a million magnets. It's so heavy and painful and your fully conscious but withyour brain staggering toske sense of it all.
That's the best I can do to describe what happens when I see the flash of light.
I fall off the page.
Like….imagine in a cartoon when Wiley Coyote gets sling shot and he is a blur of himself where he was, is and going.
But where the pull is so heavy you can't stop it and everything concaves including your bones.
Does it make sense?
Anyway, I'll keep you posted.
It's usually only a few hours to 48hrs before it happens.
17th October 5.26am
Interesting how this flash of light is never in the same room. It's never been. It's always in the next room or from a certain distance from me.
My boys have seen it twice. But again, never directly.
There HAS to be a reason for this.
When that rip appeared in my room that time like someone has put a cigarette burn in the air and it melted a hole in reality and I could see Space, that was a flash of light too but it was not bright.
These flashes are so bright they turn the night Skype into daylight.
So my synopsis is this has to be for safety reasons. Maybe it's just too bright to see with the naked eye that it has to be from a distance.
We just see a flash light 1000 cameras the size of watermelons went off in the next room or outside.
I'd like to point out, I woke up with my head killing me. My Pineal Gland is going nuts.
This is new. It feels like I'm gearing up for something.
I feel nervous yet excited.
I wish I knew what, when, where, how and why.
Always more questions than answers -_-

Episode 16: Have you ever been curious if you have past lives? Do you feel like you're an old soul who has had thousands of lives? Kim interviews Shannon Peck, who explains how past life regressions can bring healing to our current lives. Understanding how the same patterns have played out in multiple lives can shed light upon the growth you came here to experience in this life. The same group of souls play similar roles in each life, until that particular lesson has been learned. Shannon also discusses how regressing to our lives between incarnations can bring deeper learning and teach us about our soul's origins.
Shannon Peck is a spiritual healer & teacher of love & healing. She is the author of Love Heals: How to Heal Everything with Love. For 30 years, clients have called Shannon from all over the world, for healing & life purpose answers. She heals through spiritual intuition, love, & divine guidance. Shannon also uses Past Life Soul Regression as a powerful healing tool, which enables her to take clients to a profound level of deep healing. She is a certified PLSR therapist and is registered on the International Between Lives Regression Network, which is iblrn.org.
Shannon and her husband, Dr. Scott Peck, have developed ground-breaking programs that open people to the possibilities of loving, soulful relationships. Their programs offer rich emotional support as well as concrete skills and practical steps towards experiencing an entire life of love. You can deepen your love awareness by taking their Love Skills Quiz. Shannon & Scott also co-founded The Love Center, as a non-profit educational organization dedicated to raising universal Love consciousness.

About Pets Best
A Doctor of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Jack Stephens, founded Pets Best in 2005. He is highly regarded as the "father" of the pet insurance industry in North America. He started Pets Best because he saw too many owners unprepared for the financial burden of helping their pets with serious illnesses, who were faced with euthanizing their beloved pets instead.
All Pets Best Accident and Illness plans cover accidents, illnesses, cancer treatments, hereditary and congenital conditions, emergency care, surgery and hospitalization, prescription medications, ongoing and chronic conditions, diagnostic tests, older pets, dental care, prosthetic devices and euthanasia. They also cover exam fees, acupuncture and chiropractic and physical therapy in most plans, but this can be adjusted to fit your budget.
You can purchase accident only plans for $6-$10 a month depending on where you live and if you are ensuring a dog or a cat.
Routine Care Coverage
Pets Best has two routine care plans: the Essential Wellness plan at $16/month and the Best Wellness plan at $26/month. Both plans have no deductible, and cover a certain amount toward things like Rabies, flea/tick prevention, microchip, urinalysis, and more.
Pets Best excludes pre-existing conditions, elective and preventive procedures, parasites, special foods and alternative care and treatments.
There are no upper age limits for your pets and your pet will not get kicked out of the plan at a certain age.
Waiting Periods
Waiting periods are three days for accidents, next day for Routine Care packages, and 14 days for illnesses.
Pets Best will reimburse 70%, 80% or 90% of your total bill, depending on the plan you choose, after you meet the deductible you select.
You can get your claims processed in as little as five days, and even have your funds direct deposited. Pets Best makes it easy to submit claims through their online portal or their mobile app. Everything can be done digitally and they get funds back to you quickly.
Pets Best also prides itself in its charity work, and works with many rescues and other organizations to help change the lives of as many animals as they can.
Submit your review
Pet best is a pretty decent company. I am grateful to realize this now, after 6 months of paying premium on 3 dogs and 2 little kitties.
Definitely Pets Best!
Love Pets Best!! Trupanion is decent too.
Good company.
We have been very happy with Pets Best!

Who was Krishna Venta, the California cult leader who said he was The Christ? Did he really say he came to Earth in a rocket ship? Why, in the 1940s, did this ex-convict wear long hair? Why did his followers wear robes but no shoes? Had he truly been in an insane asylum? Was he, as some allege, a "precursor" to Charles Manson? Why did he & nine others die in 1958 in what proved to be a suicide bombing? These were but a few of my questions when I began my search for Krishna Venta...

More than 100 Globe/Temco Swifts—including one piloted by a veteran of the Royal Canadian Air Force—filled the skies of the United States, Brazil, Canada, and France during an international fly-out on Nov. 4. The event was called "World Domination: The Day of the Swift."
Fort Myers, Fla., Swift owner Perry Sisson thought it would be fun to see how many pilots of the low-wing, retractable-gear airplanes would be interested in flying on a single day. He said he got the idea one morning while looking at a photo of a Swift on Facebook, and "wondered whether I was flying my Swift at that same moment in time."
Sisson used Facebook as well as phone calls and emails to invite the entire Swift community to fly on Nov. 4, and to send him data and photos on where and how long they had flown. The final tally: 101 Swifts took flight, and 32 Swifts were in the air at the same time around the world. The airplanes flew an estimated 136.2 hours.
Sisson said Joseph Armand Gerard Fernand "Fern" Villeneuve also flew on that day. Villeneuve, born July 2, 1927, is a retired lieutenant colonel in the Royal Canadian Air Force, and, according to Sisson, is widely considered in Canada to be one of the nation's finest RCAF pilots.

For years, my childhood stuck with me, clearly–or more so–than many more recent events. I used to play my favorite memories in my head, over and over, as if afraid of losing them.
After the loss of my parents in early adulthood, my theory began to prove unreliable. At first it was my short-term memory, then, as time went on, my mid-to-long term memories. Neurological anomalies have been dismissed as inconclusive, and in general my "brain fog" is attributed to medication or depression. I wonder…
My children's childhood begins to blur as we progress from day to day, and I startle with grief at times, how much they have grown. How fast. I mourn the moments I've lost. Their little quips, their expressions, their milestones. All I have is a general sense of them, everything else is lost in the day to day routine.
Feeling this gnaw at me, I tried extra hard to build better memories for them this Christmas: stories, decorations, lights…and was rewarded on occasion with, "this is the best Christmas ever!" and sometimes nettled by, "Christmas isn't coming because I didn't get [a certain present]"
My mind has been wandering backwards lately, trying to find moments in childhood to help me relate. I am appalled how many of my carefully preserved memories are now shrouded in fog, lost to the general sense of things. But I do remember a Christmas or two.
The funny thing is, we didn't celebrate Christmas. Or Easter. Or Birthdays. The reasons, through my eyes of this moment, are as complex as they are sad. But Christmas and its trappings were exiled from our house. For decoration, we had no more than the deep snow of the northern winter piling up outside our windows, the frost on the panes, the sharp stars glinting overhead. My grandmother, and sometimes one of my aunts, would always send a box of treats. Sometimes they sent presents. It seemed that family had the power to veto our religion's prohibitions. The boxes of nuts in their shells were no less delightful for that, nor were the mandarin oranges in a crate, each wrapped in a tissue-thin green paper that made them seem somehow extraordinary.
Then there were chocolates. THAT was extraordinary. I remember the game of guessing what was in each one by its shape and the vague pictures on the inside of the box. I remember a doll one year. A snow globe another year, which was barely allowed to stay because of the garish figurine of Santa Claus it held. That snow globe is a story in itself.
So my early memories of Christmas, though tinged with slight regret at the lack of carols, lights, trees, and annual celebrations, still have the scintillating moments of oranges and of nuts being cracked out of their shells by the warmth of the wood stove. Discovering almonds and hazelnuts and walnuts. Hearing the satisfying CRACK of each one being released from the shell, and learning the trick of cracking without crushing.
And perhaps enjoyed something by association: The Nutcracker story or the ballet. I remember that many times: a highlight of the winter season.
My sisters remember my fervent desire to be a ballerina, of which I still have not even a vague recollection, but I do recall being caught up in the magic of the ballet. It was one of the few wonders of the magical that entered my childhood.
When I grew up, I lamented the dearth of fairies in my early years, the diminished wonder that I dimly recall searching for with longing. When I had my own children, I determined to give them that sense of wonder that I missed.
I fall so short with my children. I suppose it's typical of motherhood that reality falls short of expectation. I wanted to raise them in a home filled with enchantment, feeding them tales to stir their imagination and ignite their little spirits with wonder. I planned to do so much art for them, write so many stories, make so many toys…
I try. But part of me is pragmatic enough to see the cost of too much fanstasy. And yet…those imaginings can so enchant the memories, it sees a shame to let them pass by.
This year, they received gifts from house elves and snow fairies. We watched the Nutcracker, the Grinch, and read those and so many other old tales. We have the Snow Queen, we have folk tales, we have an illuminated Nativity and a fairy village, and as much Light as we can manage. And oranges…
And I hope it's enough.
For years, my childhood stuck with me, clearly–or more so–than many more recent events. I used to play my favorite memories in my head, over and over, as if afraid of losing them.

Because C2, pSt2 and (k Á F)2 change monotonously as a rule during the chemical conversion and in addition approximately linearly with T2, to establish pB(t) in a first approximation, a straight line can be drawn in the time interval t ¼ t0 up to t ¼ tE from p2 ðt ¼ t0 Þ up to p2 ðt ¼ tE Þ. Because the thermal reaction powers qðt ¼ t0 Þ respectively qðt ¼ tE Þ are still small respectively again small, p2(t0) and p2(tE) correspond to pB(t) of the baseline.

If you are active on the Internet, you have probably seen some blogs. A lot of the blogs you've seen are likely operating on WordPress, which some say it the best blogging platform there is. If you are interested in blogging, you need to learn more about WordPress, and the following article can help.
If your post has a lengthy title, make sure to adjust the permalink. This would be a URL that is too long: "Ten Parenting Methods For Taming Kids The Smart Way." Choose something simpler like "intelligent-parents-manage-children".
Make sure you have a unique template for your WordPress blog. This may be tempting since it's a time saver, but users will not be too impressed with your effort. It is important to create a site that shows the individuality of your business.
Spend some time getting to know all of WordPress's tools and options. For instance, clicking on the visible Kitchen Sink button can offer more choices for formatting posts to make them more unique. There is also a Screen Options tab located on the admin pages of your site. This can control an array of formatting features.
When you are using WordPress, get familiar with the tools and features available in the application. For instance, the button "kitchen sink" gives you a plethora of choices for formatting and importing content into your posts. Also check out "screen options" for admin functions. This can be used to control several formatting elements.
Make a posting schedule for yourself. Having a schedule will assist you in getting your posts done on time. In fact, to save even more time, you can create a week's worth of posts at once, then schedule WordPress to upload them for you automatically.
Make sure you use Alt and Title. text as you upload images to posts. This is good for SEO, and it allows people who have disabled images to know what the images are about.
Search engine ranks can be boosted with just a little more time spent while adding photos. Use the alternate text and title tags on each one. Your title will show up when something is "pinned" on Pintrest.
Your posts appear chronologically by default; however, you can change this. You can change the order of this list by changing the dates on your blog posts. To demonstrate that, open a post and notice the date on the upper-right-hand corner. Click on date, modify it and save the post so you can change the position.
If you have a WordPress website, be sure to have the most engaging greeting possible. This makes things a bit more personal with readers since you can make a message that shows how others found your site. This helps things look natural and you can find it on the plugin called WP Greet Box.
Do you posts garner lots of comments? If you do, scanning through every comment can be hard on you and on your other readers. You can install a plugin that does this for you. This will make the whole process much smoother.
Ensure that your readers can send content to an e-mail as they please. This is crucial for sharing purposes. Visitors may not have access to sites like Twitter or Facebook at work and need a way of sharing your article with others. You can do this by using a WP-Email plugin.
Make sure that users can easily send your articles to their email whenever they want. This is a good way to share, especially with those who are not using Facebook or Twitter. WP-email plugins are a great way to accomplish this.
Don't use "admin" for your username. Names like admin or administrator can subject you to attack more easily. It's a security risk. Look at the users of your site and delete any names that use admin or administrator. Choose something that is more difficult.
Don't choose a common term, such as "admin," for your username. Doing so subjects your blog to bots. It is a risk of your security. Go through your users page, and erase any such usernames. Choose something that is more difficult.
Security is crucial for a site built with WordPress, so always keep your passwords secure. On top of that, only download plugins from sites which are reputable and check the reviews before you install anything. If your site becomes compromised, you will have to begin again; therefore, it is important to do everything you can to keep your site secure.
Don't share your WordPress passwords with anyone. Before installing plugins, make sure to read reviews. If your site is hacked or the victim of malware, your hard work could all be lost.
Use titles and descriptions that are descriptive. When people use search engines to find your pages, these elements are usually seen first. For this reason, they are very important. If you want more control, try using the SEO program, Scribe. You can use this to make edits on your pages in order to bring more visitors.
Use descriptions that are very targeted. When prospective visitors use search engines to find your pages, these are among the first things they see. This is why they are important. Scribe is search engine optimization software that can help you control these aspects of your WordPress site. You will be able to edit them to your heart's content and draw more people in to your pages.
Make sure that all your media is in order. Otherwise, the images can get jumbled together rapidly. Create several folders and place each image in the appropriate one. This makes it easier later on if you'd like to reuse images.
Be sure you back up your blog. You need to to this with regularity. Use one of the plugins available such as Xcloner for your WordPress. Back the blog up with whatever you're most comfortable with; just make sure to do it in multiple locations. It would be devastating to lose your whole blog.
Connect posts with the internal linking plugin. This will help your readers find content they like. These plugins add lists between three and five links beneath the posts based on your tag's relevancy to each post.
If you want to post on off-days, schedule them a few days before via WordPress. You can easily schedule the publication of your posts regardless of where you are. Find the Publish box in the Edit screen. Click on the option that says publish immediately. Put the time you want the blogs to post in military time. Press OK. When you spot your "schedule for" screen, select it and then hit "schedule" if things look right.
Schedule blog posts beforehand with WordPress. For posts already written, you can set them up to post on different days and times, even if you aren't near your computer. You can easily do this using the Publish command located on your Edit screen. You'll notice something that says "Publish immediately." Use military time to input the times, days, months and years you want your content published. Pick OK. Make sure the information on the "Schedule For" display screen is correct and then hit "Schedule".
Approving comments manually is a thing of the past. Install Akismet or something similar to do this for you. You can set up notifications for comments, but manual approval usually deters commenters. You are not actually saving time, otherwise.
To use a header for a post, don't worry about the drop-down menu. Take advantage of keyboard shortcuts instead! Depress the CTRL key along with a number between 1 and 6 to select one of the options. This will save you time if you're constantly using headers.
Always look at user reviews before using plugins. Keep in kind that these plugins may be created by any person that can program. It is important not to use plugins with lots of problems and reported issues. Plugins that have been downloaded in great volumes are generally safe.
Rather than simply downloading a WordPress plugin as soon as you find it, look for reviews on that plugin first. Remember, these plugins can be created by anyone who knows how to program. It is not a great idea to use plugins that have many known issues. Plugins with a lot of downloads and high ratings are generally safe to use.
Have you had enough of the clutter involved in WordPress? You need to turn a few of those boxes off that are on the page. You can do this with the top WordPress button labeled "Screen Options." Click this to access a drop-down menu where you can turn boxes on and off.
Does your WordPress page look cluttered? You can turn off a number of the on-page boxes you see. To do this, go to the top of WordPress's window and go to "screen options". When you click that, a menu will drop down with options to disable certain boxes.
If you need a WordPress blog host, only choose from those that feature a simple click function to install WordPress. This way, you would not have to separately install a database on your own. The host will also be able to make you a blog domain.
Choose a host for WordPress with tools that allow WordPress to be installed easily. This will prevent the need to create a separate database. A single click could mean the host creates both your blog domain and your database associated with it.
Try using different authoring tools for your blog. Don't find WordPress' dashboard particularly helpful? Blog authoring programs, such as Windows Live Writer, can be of help. Many more efficient tools which are WordPress compatible exist. Give some of them a whirl, and discover the one that is most suitable for your needs.
Allow users to comment on your website. You can learn more about people visiting your site, and it will give users a community feeling. You can moderate comments before you approve them so that you prevent spamming on your blog.
Be sure to add images to your sites. After all, pictures are worth thousands of words. It will give your site much more drama. Use alternate text and title tags with clear descriptions of each picture so that the search engines can crawl them.
Experiment with a variety of blogging tools. Do you dislike the WordPress's dashboard? Try a program such as Windows Live Writer. A number of tools works well in conjunction with WordPress while providing increased efficiency. Try some, and see which you like best.
You can test changes to your site before you make them live by duplicating it in an additional folder and database. This will keep any mistakes from ruining your entire site or hampering your sales.

Daniel Ricciardo proved that the Infiniti Red Bull Racing team have a strong package this weekend at the Hungaroring after qualifying fourth on Saturday, while team-mate Daniil Kvyat took seventh.
Ricciardo was happy to qualify fourth, and within striking distance of Scuderia Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel, and hopes to be able to challenge the his former team-mate in the race on Sunday.
"I am really happy with the session today and with my qualifying performance," said Ricciardo. "We were very close to Seb which is positive.
"I found a really good rhythm, obviously we had a few problems yesterday but the weekend as a whole has gone well so far.
"Our long run pace was pretty handy yesterday so I am confident we can battle it out with the red cars in the race tomorrow. I'm feeling good about it."
While Ricciardo was happy with his performance, team-mate Kvyat was less enthusiastic about his own display, feeling he could and should have been higher up the grid than seventh after failing to find a rhythm during the session.
"It was tough today, it wasn't my best qualifying session as I didn't find a good rhythm," revealed Kvyat. "It's disappointing, we should be stronger at this track.
"We are starting the race tomorrow from an okay position, hopefully we can move up the grid, it won't be easy but we'll try our best."

INDIANAPOLIS -- Some cats and dogs are especially thankful after this Thanksgiving weekend.
The Humane Society of Indianapolis held a "Home for the Pawlidays" event where they waived all adoption fees for their animals. According to a post on the shelter's Facebook page, every single animal there has found a new home.
It was a black Friday special, but now the shelter says it will continue the special for Cyber Monday, with even more animals to adopt between 1 and 4 p.m.

Now You See Me 2 (Review)
It didn't hit me until recently, but this year we're getting a pretty healthy dose of magic at the movies. Obviously the heavy hitters like Doctor Strange and Fantastic Beasts & Where to Find Them arrive in November, but before that we've seen traces of it in Gods of Egypt, Warcraft and today's film, Now You See Me 2, directed this time by Jon M. Chu.
Here's the story. One year after outwitting the FBI and winning the public's adulation with their mind-bending spectacles, the Four Horsemen resurface, only to find themselves face to face with a new enemy who enlists them to pull off their most dangerous heist yet.
I liked the first movie just fine, it had a great ensemble cast and they got very creative with incorporating magic into a heist film. This movie is just as good, but falls ill to the common symptoms of sequelitis. Here are my positives and negatives.
*Possible spoilers ahead*
First off, yeah, it's all about that cast. This is probably the best I've seen Jesse Eisenberg play a character not based on a preexisting source material and/or a real person since Zombieland, which does kinda frustrate me because he's doing a better Lex Luthor in everything EXCEPT Batman V Superman (but I still liked his performance). I'm sad that Isla Fisher couldn't reprise her role as Henley Reeves, but fortunately Lizzy Caplan more than makes up for it with her character Lula, who often pokes fun at the fact that she's the newbie of the group in a very meta fashion. Dave Franco and Woody Harrelson are always fun to see in movies like these, and Daniel Radcliffe actually does a great job playing the comedic antagonist as Walter Mabry, the illegitimate son of Michael Caine's Arthur Tressler. But of course the best characters and the ones with the most interesting through line are Marc Ruffalo and Morgan Freeman as Dylan Rhodes Thaddeus Bradley respectively.
As a sucker for a good magic show, they really up the anti with this movie! Where most of the first movie relied on more believable street magic, caution has been thrown to wind here. The absolute highlight of the film comes in the third act, where the Four Horsemen stream their big act live in London on New Year's Eve. They do pretty much everything from card tricks to this really unbelievable scene involving manipulating the rain that you've seen in the trailers.
My last pure positive before I slip into the grey area is the music. Brian Tyler I don't think quite gets the credit he deserves as a composer. Sometimes he can feel like the Dan Castellaneta of composers when he takes over a sequel such as Iron Man 3 or Avengers: Age of Ultron. But when he's doing his own music, it's great, so full of energy that gets you excited when you're watching a movie. Personally, he'll still never be at the top level like Alan Silvestri or John Williams, but he still belongs in the conversation of great film composers.
And here is the difficult part of the review, where I can't classify these as positives or negatives.
The first one is one that already praised, which was the magic. Why bring this up again? Because the movie tries does something that the original only did a handful of times, and that's unravel every single magic trick they pull. On the one it is kind of cool to see how all of these elaborate feats are done, but it does abandon the golden rule of magic: a magician NEVER reveals his secrets.
That's another problem I had with the movie, the story. I know, I know, you shouldn't really come into this movie expecting any sort of deep narrative, but it still deserves to be talked about. I did like the development of the relationship between Dylan and Thaddeus, how they have a long history together through the great magician Lionel Shrike. However, the execution of the big reveals (which I won't exactly give away) could have been handled a lot better, and not treated like an afterthought.
Finally, there's absolutely nothing positive I have to say about this stupid ass decision: MERRIT HAS A TWIN BROTHER!?!?!?!?!? This is the biggest cardinal sin that a sequel could ever do, adding a pointless new character that has connections with the main cast. First of all, why did it need to be his brother, let alone a goddamn twin? Was it just so the villains could also have a mentalist? And second, if you're gonna go through the trouble of impersonating Matthew McConaughey (who's worked with Harrelson in the past), why not just cast McConaughey himself? Was he just not available at the time, or did he take a look at the script and say "no thank you?"
And despite all the annoyances, I still came out enjoying Now You See Me 2. Neither of these movies are great by any stretch of the imagination, but they're both in that "turn off your brain" camp that makes them fun to watch. Don't go for the plot, just enjoy the great character interactions with the ensemble cast and some of the coolest yet completely unrealistic magic tricks this movie has to offer.
Now it's your turn. Have you seen either of the Now You See Me films, and if so what are your thoughts? Also, what are your favorite movies that deal with magic and/or illusions? Drop your thoughts in the comments below, and stay tuned for my next review, where I take a journey under water with Nemo and his friends in Finding Dory!

The constitutional stand-off over Brexit between Holyrood and Westminster is to be settled by the UK Supreme Court it has been confirmed.
UK Attorney general Jeremy Wright and Scotland Advocate General Lord Keen announced they are referring Holyrood's Brexit Bill to the law courts today, warning it risked "serious legal uncertainty for individuals and businesses."
Mr Wright added: "This reference is a protective measure which we are taking in the public interest. The Government very much hopes this issue will be resolved without the need to continue with this litigation".
The EU Continuity Bill was passed by MSPs at Holyrood earlier this year, despite a warning by Holyrood's Presiding Officer Ken Macintosh the legislation was outwith the competence of the Scottish Parliament.
Read more: Mike Russell warns of constitutional crisis over Brexit
The Scottish Government pressed ahead with the Bill over concerns that Westminster's own Brexit Bill - the EU Withdrawal Bill - was a power grab on Holyrood. Key Powers returning from Brussels in areas like agriculture and fishing should go to the Scottish Parliament in line with teh Scotland Act which brought about devolution, but many of these are being held by Westminster. The UK Government says this is in order to preserve the integrity of the UK internal market and avoid differing regulations north and south of the border.
Lord Keen added: "By referring the Scottish Parliament's Continuity Bill to the Supreme Court, we are seeking legal certainty as to its competence. Given the Presiding Officer's view at introduction that the Bill was not within the legal scope of the Parliament, we believe it is important to ask the Court to provide absolute clarity.
"In doing so we are following the process set out in the Scotland Act 1998. Particularly in the run up to Brexit, it is vital that we avoid legal uncertainty in our statute book."
Read more: Constitutional stand-off as Holyrood presses ahead with Brexit Bill
But SNP MSP Ivan McKee hit out at the move and said Scotland's most senior legal officer, Lord Advocate Lord Wolffe, said the Holyrood Bill is competent.
He added: "The Continuity Bill is necessary because of the failure of the UK Government to respect devolution in its own legislation. It is the only means available to our parliament to protect devolution and prepare Scotland's laws for Brexit, and the Lord Advocate — Scotland's most senior law officer — has made clear he considers the bill to be competent.
"However, the Tories have made clear from their actions that they intend to use Brexit to undermine devolution, to centralise power in Westminster and to worsen Scotland's democratic deficit."

Seychelles and Indian Ocean sister nations commit to continued solidarity in the fight against HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis

(Seychelles News Agency) - Indian Ocean island nations need to continue to work together, sharing ideas, expertise and best practices, while remaining in solidarity to fight against HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis.
That was the main message that over 300 participants of 14th Colloquium on HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis took home on Thursday last week, after three days of intense deliberation.
The three-day colloquium held at the Savoy Resort and Spa at Beau Vallon, in the north of the Seychelles main island of Mahé, brought together health professionals, government officials, representatives of the media and civil society as well as people living with HIV from the islands of Madagascar, Mauritius, Reunion, Rodrigues, the Comoros and Seychelles
Representatives of regional and international organisation including the Indian Ocean Commission, World Health Organisation, UNAIDS among others were also in attendance.
The annual colloquium was once again an opportunity for all stakeholders to be given a clearer picture of the actual situation in their respective countries and collectively as a region, take stock of progress made in the fight against HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis as well as new and emerging challenges that Indian Ocean islands are facing.
"Increasing testing in 2015 to identify people who are HIV positive so as to save lives….ensuring access of Indian Ocean islands to affordable vaccines against Hepatitis B…as well as access to treatment for people infected with Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C as in 2015 Hepatitis C can be cured…It's also to strengthen the fight against drug use, there's a lot to be done to reduce this scourge that is affecting the Indian Ocean….also fighting against discrimination and stigmatisation…because of that, people do not want to get tested, do not want to tell their partners that they are HIV positive and the infections will continue to spread," said Dr Catherine Gaud, founder of the annual colloquium when speaking about the main recommendations that came out of this year's meeting.

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) was first identified in 1981 and is believed to have originated from the Democratic Republic of Congo in Africa.
The virus, transmitted through various ways including transfusion of contaminated blood, unprotected sexual intercourse or sharing of contaminated needles, destroys and weakens the immune systems of infected individuals, which make them vulnerable to different infections and diseases.
At a more advanced stage, a full-blown HIV infection is called acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), although this can take between one and ten years to develop.
Now a global pandemic, it is estimated that 36 million people worldwide were living with HIV in 2014 while 34 million people who have contracted the virus have died since 1981.
Seychelles, an Indian Ocean archipelago with its population of around 93,000, recorded its first HIV case in 1987 and has since recorded 706 cases up to mid this year.
Currently, there are 470 people living with HIV in Seychelles with 41 cases recorded just between January to June this year, according to the Seychelles health ministry's mid-year epidemiological report.
This, according to the ministry represents a 37% increase in new cases, when compared to the same period in 2014.
Out of the 41 cases, which includes people ranging from 18 to 59 years, 18 of them were intravenous drug users (IDU's) out of which 8 were infected with both HIV and Hepatitis C.
January to June this year has also seen an alarming increase in Hepatitis cases with 43 new cases detected representing an increase of 330% in new reported cases compared to 10 cases for the same period in 2014.

Intravenous drug users have hence been identified as one of the most vulnerable groups at risk of contracting both HIV and Hepatitis and this is not only in Seychelles but in the region as well.
"The fact is the both HIV and Hepatitis are blood borne diseases. Right now, almost 100% of our IDU's are Hepatitis C positive and vice versa. [….]Anybody sharing needles will get HIV/AIDS as well….we have started to educate our people, because sooner or later we will have more people with HIV," Dr. Anne Gabriel, Chief Executive of Seychelles National Aids Council told journalists at a press conference on Thursday..
During the colloquium harm reduction methods including the needle exchange programme to address the concern of HIV and Hepatitis infections among drug users were also discussed, where it was highlighted that such methods had proved successful in several countries including the neighbouring Indian Ocean island of Mauritius.
It is to be noted that the needle exchange programme as a potential harm reduction method is still in the discussion phase in Seychelles.
Heroin use in the Seychelles islands is a major health concern, as a 2011 study on injection drug use in the islands conducted by the country's Ministry of Health, reported an estimated 1,000 heroin users in the 90,000 population nation.
These statistics led the United Nations 2013 World Drug Report to conclude that Seychelles has one of the world's highest rates of intravenous drug use.
The Seychelles ministry of health has said that it is currently supporting a national campaign to reduce the supply of drugs. The three month operation was launched last month by the Seychelles Ministry of Home Affairs and the national Drugs Enforcement Agency, NDEA.
"If we can do that, reduce the supply and demand, drug users would be in withdrawal and require treatment. Through our health centres we will be supporting the drug addicts needing treatment," said Seychelles health minister Mitcy Larue.
This year's Indian Ocean HIV/AIDS and Hepatitis colloquium was themed "S'unir pour combler les écarts et arriver à Zéro nouvelles infections, Zéro décès et Zéro discrimination" [Uniting to close the gap and getting to zero new infections, zero deaths and zero discrimination."
A theme that fits well with the UN's target set on World AIDS day on December 1 last year that "ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030 is possible, but only by closing the gap between people who have access to HIV prevention, treatment, care and support services and people who are being left behind."

In Seychelles, a new programme called "Test and treat" was introduced in by the health ministry in December last year aiming to get as many people as possible to get tested.
At the close of the colloquium on Thursday, there were also calls for non-governmental organisations to be given the capacity as well as the opportunity to be more involved to bring the agenda forward.
The call was made by the outgoing president of a regional network, Ravane Océan Indien, Seychellois Ronny Arnephie. The network is actively involved in advocating for the rights of people living with HIV and those most vulnerable to HIV infection in the Indian Ocean region.
2015 was Seychelles' third time hosting the annual colloquium and the task of organising the next colloquium in 2016 has been given to Madagascar.
