Q: Difference between normal Interface and MBean Interface I have doubt about the difference between normal Interface and MBean interface.
public interface TryMBean
{
    // method declaration
}

public class Try implements TryMBeans
{
    // method definition
}

this looks like a normal interface, but for this we are able to use jConsole to monitor. My doubt is, what is the difference so that we can monitor it, and how to get idea when to use normal interface and when to go for MBean. I am new to JMX.

A: An MBean interface is a regular interface. But it's definition follows some conventions, like it's name. The name of an MBean interface is supposed to end with MBean. Also, it defines its operations and attributes following some rules that are describe in the Standard MBeans documentation
Basically, if you want to create an MBean that can be used with a JMX console, you have to adhere to these rules. There are also other ways to create MBeans more dynamically that follows some other rules, e.g. if you're using Spring JMX, where MBeans can be dynamically generated based on a "regular" interface.

A: Consider using abstract classes if any of these statements apply to your situation:
In the java application, there are some related classes that need to share some lines of code then you can put these lines of code within the abstract class and this abstract class should be extended by all these related classes.
You can define the non-static or non-final field(s) in the abstract class so that via a method you can access and modify the state of the object to which they belong.
You can expect that the classes that extend an abstract class have many common methods or fields, or require access modifiers other than public (such as protected and private).
Consider using interfaces if any of these statements apply to your situation:
It is a total abstraction, All methods declared within an interface must be implemented by the class(es) that implements this interface.
A class can implement more than one interface. It is called multiple inheritances.
You want to specify the behavior of a particular data type but are not concerned about who implements its behavior.

India's Stok Kangri Peak to Close for 3 Years: The Adventure Tourism Industry Reacts
One of India's highest trekking peaks, Stok Kangri will be closed for the entirety of 2020-22. The Outdoor Journal reached out to the Indian adventure industry for comments.
The Outdoor Journal
On Friday 6th December, The Outdoor Journal received news that Stok Kangri, the highest mountain in the Stok Range of the Himalaya, in Ladakh, Northern India, would be closed for trekking and climbing for three years, due to unmanageable overtourism. The news came following a meeting held last week between key people in the All Ladakh Tour Operators Association (ALTOA). The outcome was clear, "Stok representatives are sure about closing Stok Kangri for trekking and expeditions from 2020 onward for 3 years".
Stok Kangri (6,153m/20,050 feet) is one of the highest trekking peaks in the world, and attracts an increasing number of tourists every year. For years, it has been considered as one of the highest "achievable" mountains in the world – This perception has played a big role in leading this area of amazing natural beauty into a poor state that now needs attention and recuperation courtesy of the governing bodies.
Whilst we are still awaiting an office notice courtesy of the Indian government, we have been advised that this should be considered the final outcome of the meetings on Stok Kangri. The mountain will be closed to trekkers and climbers in 2020, 2021, and 2022.
The news is not a surprise given a notice that was distributed across the industry in July of 2019 to all members of the Adventure Tourism Operators Association of India (ATOAI). This notice advised that "Stok Nambardar village committee comprising of Stok villagers had been raising concerns over the pollution of their drinking water source and also shortages of irrigation water owing to over-tourism and global warming. Stok Kangri is a very popular trekking peak and over the last few years, we have observed it falling prey to over-tourism."

At the time, the committee had decided to "close the Stok Kangri peak for trekking for five years starting 2020 onwards". However, an urgent meeting was requested with the committee to suggest a European-esque approach that allows expeditions at annual intervals so that the area can "recuperate". Clearly, the committee felt that greater action was required and such an approach would not suffice. Instead, they have decided to close the mountain for three years.
VAIBHAV KALA: COMMITTEE CHAIRMAN OF ADVENTURE TOUR OPERATORS ASSOCIATION OF INDIA AND FOUNDER OF AQUATERRA ADVENTURES, RANKED AS ONE OF THE WORLD'S BEST ADVENTURE TRAVEL COMPANIES BY NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC.
This does not come at a surprise to Vaibhav Kala, from Aquaterra Adventures. In September of 2018, Vaibhav wrote an article for The Outdoor Journal entitled "Mass Trekking in India: A Disease For Which We'll All Suffer". Vaibhav spoke of unreported deaths, unsustainable human activity, and environmental degradation – It was a call to action as "India's national heritage is at stake". The article stirred the industry. Later that month, The Outdoor Journal published its own investigation "Adventure Tourism in India Leading to Deaths and Massive Environmental Degradation". We later captured much of the local conversation and expert opinions in The Adventure Tourism Industry Reacts.
Over 12 months later, this groundswell appears to have failed to achieve any real change. When The Outdoor Journal reached out to Vaibhav for comment on the Stok Kangri closure, we were met with a frustrated tone, very similar to the way Vaibhav spoke in the Autumn of 2019. "It's an unchecked, uncontrolled price war. Cost-based pricing, instead of value/safety based pricing, leads to the massification of the mountain. Rising deaths and accidents due to neglect, tourists rushing up without the proper acclimatization and rampant neglect of the environment".
Vipin Sharma, the Founder of Red Chilli Adventures, speaks from his experience as a trekking guide for over 20 years. Whilst he shares the opinion of Vaibhav Kala, specifically that "having a large number of people crossing Stok Kangri Glacier every day and night during the season multiplies the melting process", he does not ignore that fact that this isn't the only reason. Vipin points out that climate change has played its part too in the immediate gravity and significance on the region – "Locals of Ladakh are dependant on water from glaciers. This is their only source of water at that altitude and if glaciers disappear from the land, so will the people, no one will be able to live there without water."
AKSHAY KUMAR, ATOAI'S FORMER PRESIDENT.
Akshay Kumar, ATOAI's former President with decades of experience in adventure tourism governance in the region told us that "heaps of non-biodegradable garbage had been left behind," along with "Irresponsible climbing, lack of safety and no intervention or support from the local government". Given Akshay's background, we wanted to understand if he agrees with ALTOA's decision and whether there were any other viable alternatives.
The Response
"As long as it takes outfitters and regulating agencies to wake up!"
Compassionately, Akshay told us that he had to "support this move because the local village had taken a call to protect the region, even with the prior knowledge that this move will hurt the local economy and its jobs. Not just in the short term either, as Akshay went on to explain, "this closure will force the government and trade to look at other routes and peaks resulting in dispersing the crowds even when they reopen". Had Akshay been making the call himself, his approach would be a match for how Vaibhav Kala has been preaching, "limit numbers, levy a high entry fee that discourages the masses, only allow companies recognised with a good safety record to operate, strict removal of all non-bio degradable waste with heavy penalties in case of a default."
Vaibhav Kala told The Outdoor Journal that this move to close Stok Kangri was possibly "necessary in the short term… to jolt everyone into some semblance of care and order. However, unless proper regulations are made, the same situation will now spread to Kang Yatse, the new Stok Kangri."
"this Stok closure is not something we should have allowed to come to a point where it became necessary!"
It's this point about regulations and governance that informed commentators refer back to. As Akshay puts it, "[Tourism] needs a complete overhaul on the thought process of the local administration and operators. They have to decide on what kind of tourism they want in the long run. After becoming a UT they are all making the right noises as they have realised the long term damage being caused through unregulated tourism. They also have support from the Ministry of Tourism/Government of India who is pushing for quality and not quantity tourism".
We asked Vaibhav how long it would take for the region to recover – His answer was to the point "As long as it takes outfitters and regulating agencies to wake up!"
Update: 15th December 2019
MANDIP AT THE KANHA NATIONAL PARK, MADHYA PRADESH, INDIA
Following the publication of this article, The Outdoor Journal heard from Mandip Singh Soin, Founder and Managing Director of Ibex Expeditions. Ibex was one of the first adventure travel experts to launch a company in India in 1979. Mandip started by stating that "this Stok closure is not something we should have allowed to come to a point where it became necessary!"
Much of Mandip Singh Soin's comments echoed those of Vaibhav, Akshay and Vipin. When asked about alternative measures that could have perhaps been suggested, Mandip argued for better management of groups. "We could have also tried to limit the peak to perhaps one trip of 6 people every fortnight, being conducted under strict eco-friendly guidelines. With a goal to avoid scaring potential trekkers and avoid closures that can be extended again, and again as per the Nanda Devi biosphere. This would have needed a lot of coordination and cooperation amongst the tour companies and Government departments."
Finally, when asked how tourism in the area can become more environmentally friendly and sustainable, Mandip advised that "Adventure tour operators need to take a pledge and follow eco guidelines that can be specifically developed by the Ecotourism Society of India, in cooperation with the Adventure Tour Operators Association of India. We also need to investigate a strict guideline on the number of people that can climb per day as it will enhance eco-friendly tours, in addition, to navigate any safety issues. A reduction of plastics, an increase of biodegradable products, an absolute return of all garbage, be it biodegradable or not (Ladakhs altitude and climate allows for very slow degradation) and also not to sell the trips to Stok at ludicrously low prices that allow no margin for eco actions like garbage removal, that cost money!!"

Basant Panchmi 2020 Date : सरस्वती पूजा की तारीख पर उलझन, जानें क्या है सही तिथि मुहूर्त
gitika dubey | नवभारतटाइम्स.कॉम
Updated: Jan 29, 2020 08:02 am IST
Basant Panchmi Saraswati Puja Date Time: माघ महीने की शुक्ल पक्ष की पंचमी तिथि को बसंत पंचमी और श्रीपंचमी कहा जाता है। इस दिन का धार्मिक और सांस्कृतिक दृष्टि से भारतीय समाज में काफी महत्व रहा है। पुराणों के अनुसार, इस दिन ब्रह्माजी ने देवी सरस्वती का सृष्टि में आह्वान किया था और देवी का प्राकट्य हुआ था। यही वजह है कि युग-युग से इस दिन लोग देवी सरस्वती की पूजा करते आए हैं। इस दिन ज्ञान की वृद्धि और उन्नति के लिए बच्चों की शिक्षा शुरू करने की भी परंपरा रही है।
इसलिए बसंत पंचमी तिथि को लेकर है उलझन
शास्त्रों में इस दिन को सर्वसिद्ध मुहूर्त के रूप में बताया गया है यानी कि इस दिन कोई भी शुभ काम बिना किसी पंचांग को देखे किया जा सकता है। लेकिन पंचांग की गणना ने ही इस साल बसंत पचंमी की तिथि को लेकर लोगों को उलझा दिया है। कई ज्योतिषी 29 जनवरी को बसंत पंचमी और सरस्वती पूजा बता रहे हैं तो कई 30 जनवरी को। ऐसे में आपके लिए किस दिन सरस्वती पूजा और बसंत पंचमी का उत्सव मनाना उचित होगा और इस तरह की स्थिति क्यों बनी है आइए जानें।
जानें कब से कब तक बसंत पंचमी
इस बसंत पंचमी सरस्वती पूजा की तिथि को लेकर उलझन की स्थिति इसलिए बन गई है क्योंकि माघ शुक्ल पंचमी तिथि का आरंभ 29 जनवरी को सुबह 10 बजकर 46 मिनट पर हो रहा है। स्थानीय समय के अनुसार इसमें कुछ आगे-पीछे हो सकता है। पंचमी तिथि का समापन 30 जनवरी को दोपहर बाद 1 बजकर 20 मिनट पर हो रहा है। यही कारण है कि 29 जनवरी और 30 जनवरी को ज्योतिषियों में मतभेद उत्पन्न हुआ है। आइए जानें कि कौन सा दिन सरस्वती पूजा के लिए उत्तम और शुभ माना गया है।
इसलिए 30 जनवरी को सरस्वती पूजा
हिंदू धर्म में शास्त्रीय मत यह है कि जिस दिन उदय तिथि हो यानी सूर्योदय जिस तिथि में हो पूरे दिन उसी तिथि का मान होता है। दूसरी बात कि पितरों की पूजा मध्य काल में होती है और देवी-देवताओं की प्रथम प्रहर में इसलिए जिस दिन सूर्योदय के समय तिथि का आंरभ हो उसी दिन देवी-देवताओं का पूजन किया जाना चाहिए। शास्त्रों का मत है कि सूर्योदय के समय अगर तिथि कुछ समय के लिए भी लग रही हो तो उसी तिथि का मान होता है और उसी तिथि में पूजन किया जाना चाहिए। इस नियम के अनुसार सरस्वती पूजन गुरुवार 30 जनवरी को किया जाना शास्त्र सम्मत होगा। इस दिन गुरुवार भी है जिससे यह ज्ञान की देवी सरस्वती के पूजन के लिए सर्वथा उचित तिथि है।
पंचमी तिथि का आरंभ 29 जनवरी 10 बजकर 46 मिनट
पंचमी तिथि का समापन 30 जनवरी 1 बजकर 20 मिनट तक
सरस्वती मूर्ति विसर्जन
नोट: देवी सरस्वती मूर्ति विसर्जन 31 जनवरी को किया जाना चाहिए। इस दिन शाम के 6 बजकर 10 मिनट के बाद का समय उत्तम होगा क्योंकि पंचक भी समाप्त हो चुका है। आपको बता दें कि ऐसी भी मान्यता है कि बेटी की विदाई और देवी की मूर्ति का विसर्जन गुरुवार को नहीं करना चाहिए। इस लिहाज से भी गुरुवार का दिन सरस्वती पूजन के लिए उत्तम है।

Bengaluru is the world's most traffic congested city, says report. (Mint)
Bengaluru has the worst traffic in the world: Report

Bengaluru beat 415 other cities across 57 countries to earn the title of 'world's most traffic congested city' in 2019
Manila in the Philippines came a close second, with a similar average time spent by commuters in traffic
Bengaluru:
It's official. Bengaluru is the world's most traffic congested city. According to a report by TomTom, the Netherlands-based global provider of navigation, traffic and map products, India's startup hub beat 415 other cities across 57 countries to earn the title in 2019.
"Bengaluru takes the top spot this year with drivers in the southern Indian city expecting to spend an average of 71% extra travel time stuck in traffic," TomTom said in the ninth edition of its annual Traffic Index.
The live tracking system indicated there are currently 291 traffic jams in the city, running up to 145.7 km. In 2019, a commuter spent an additional 243 hours in traffic while driving during peak hours. The report said during the time spent on roads, these people could have planted 244 trees, watched 215 episodes of Game of Thrones or watched 139 football matches.
Manila in the Philippines came a close second, with a similar average time spent by commuters in traffic.
Mumbai, Pune and New Delhi were the other Indian cities that also featured in top 10, taking fourth, fifth and eighth places respectively.
The report said Bengaluru recorded the least traffic on 6 April and the highest was on 20 August when it recorded 103% congestion.
The worst rush hours are reserved for Fridays between 7 PM and 8 PM. "Travelling after 8 PM on Friday could save you up to 5 hours per year (for a 30 minute commute)," the report said.
With never-ending construction to improve public infrastructure, Bengaluru has witnessed a steady decline in the quality of life due to dust, pollution, rapidly eroding green cover and toxic lakes among other problems.
The company said traffic congestion had increased globally in the last decade. The 239 cities that TomTom included in the new traffic index report showed increased congestion levels between 2018 and 2019, with only 63 cities witnessing a measurable decline .
"This global increase in congestion, despite being an indicator of a strong economy, is understood to cost economies billions," the report said.

The duo, Buddy Miller and Sol Murphy have only been making music together "influenced [by] punk and 60s garage", as Carina Nebula, since November 2013 but seem to know their genre well. It won't harm their potential either, living in Liverpool, the Psych Capital of The World (Northern Hemisphere). Surely the very paving slabs they walk everyday must ooze the stuff that makes guitar bands produce this fuzz and swirl.
Their first full offering 'Blossom' has a slow metronome riff that elicits appropriate amounts of motion sickness and the elevator-shaft vocals pine away between periods of clanging guitar that diverge away from the normal mid-range psych-fuzz heard of late.
Incidentally, whether intentional or not, the recording seems to pop and wobble a bit (or it's something I've had for lunch). I guess they're still honing their production skills.
All said, they have a sound ready for a good live show so we'll watch out for that. In summary - less shoegaze, more stargaze (sorry).
Carina Nebula are planning to release a four-track EP by May 2014.

DD 15 or 16?
Submitted by Capn_Jack on Tue, 07/07/2015 - 1:58pm.
I think I might have identified the warship at left foreground. It seems a lot heavier than a torpedo boat -- surely the weapon on top of the aft conning station is larger than the 6-pounder identified by SouthBendModel34. Even the existence of an aft conning station suggests it is a destroyer, but the date says it must be an early one.
The funnels being so close to the conning station (mostly concealed under an awning) can be explained if it's one of the destroyers that had boiler rooms fore and aft and engine rooms amidships; DD 1, USS Bainbridge, had that layout. Then it would be a much longer, bigger ship entirely than it appears in the photo, its bow extending way to the left of the photo's edge, and explaining why Adam thought it might be a torpedo boat -- we're seeing only a small part of a 4-funneled craft. However, Bainbridge class DD's had their 6-pdrs forward of the conning station (with a 3-inch on top of it that could fit our ship), not aft as is clearly shown in the photo. They also did NOT have a propeller guard, and we can see a little piece of one if we look carefully. Also, Bainbridge class ships had blowoff tubes running up the two aft funnels, which this ship lacks.
Looking further down the helpful list of destroyer photos in Navsource (http://www.navsource.org/archives/05idx.htm), I found that USS Worden and Whipple (DD 16 and 15) had plain funnels, 6-pdrs aft of the conning station, and propeller guards. The images in Navsource of these relatively obscure destroyers don't show them clearly enough that I could see any differences between them, so I'm leaving the identification at that. An annoying discrepancy is that photos of Worden and Whipple don't show the small mainmast with battle gaff that appears on the Shorpy photo immediately forward (left) of the 3-inch gun on top of the conning station. However, photos of other early destroyers show masts changing position and size during their careers so it's still, I think, very likely our ship is one of those two.
Coaling in those days
Submitted by StefanJ on Mon, 07/06/2015 - 11:33am.
I guess having access to a coaling wharf was a boon in those days. Even with a wharf there was still enough manhandling to do in order to get that coal down below. Not to mention to get it from stowage to the fireholes later on.
Just look at USS Texas BB-35: 1900 tons of coal (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Texas_%28BB-35%29)! No wharf at Scapa Flow, though.
Yuck! Oil is that much more convenient. Just pass the hose, and start the pump.
Torpedo boat
Submitted by Adam on Sun, 07/05/2015 - 7:48pm.
I was wondering if it might be one like the USS MacKenzie (TB-17)?
Four-Masted Schooners
Submitted by SouthBendModel34 on Sun, 07/05/2015 - 9:54am.
The two "tall ships" are four-masted schooners. The schooner rig lasted longer in commercial service than the square rigger because a schooner requires a smaller crew. The whole crew of a 4-mast schooner might be only 10 or 11 men, all up. The last 4-master sailing in the Atlantic was carrying cargos as late as 1949. (The Schr. Herbert L. Rawding.)
These schooners in Jacksonville are likely carrying coal from Norfolk VA. Other possible cargoes for them would be cypress lumber, which was in demand for furniture and door making, or phosphate rock mined in FL for conversion into agricultural fertilizer.
Just as interesting as the schooners are the steam yacht and the partially obscured vessel at the coaling wharf.
The near vessel is unquestionably Naval - one can see two pedestal-mounted "quick-firing" guns, 6-pounders I think, on either side near the stern. At the very stern is what appears to be a small torpedo tube. The stern itself has a rounded counter. Surely the class of this vessel could be identified by one of our Shorpy Sleuths. It's either a steam torpedo boat or an early Destroyer. (DD)
Efficient use of resources
Submitted by Harvey in Fla on Sat, 07/04/2015 - 3:49pm.
While tall ships classed as fully rigged or square-rigged might have a larger crew, these four-masted schooners might have a crew of just ten to twelve - good ratio of cost of manpower to payload, and practically zero carbon footprint.

Interesting tug side-lashed to a single barge. Approaching the swing bridge.
Submitted by BryanNF on Sun, 07/05/2015 - 12:03pm.
The bridge in view is the old Florida East Coast Railway - St. Johns River Bridge. It was a single-track, Pratt through-truss swing bridge built in 1889-90. It was replaced by a double-track, through-truss, Strauss Trunnion Bascule lift span bridge in 1925 and is still in use (See: New FEC - St. Johns River Bridge). It runs adjacent to the Acosta Bridge which carries SR 13 over the St. Johns River.
I believe The Jacksonville Landing and the entrance to the John T Alsop, Jr. bridge now occupy the foreground.
The Barrows
Submitted by Lost World on Sat, 07/04/2015 - 12:44am.
I'm thinking they were used to carry coal for refueling ships. There appears to be some sort of conveyer leading up to the trestle to supply the barrows.

the chute connects with the warehouse side walkway...Odd!
I dare to say this framing was made on purpose.
Submitted by gturkovi on Fri, 07/03/2015 - 1:38pm.
I'm always surprised to see big & tall sailing ships around as late as 1910 -- or even WWII.
Upside down barrows
Submitted by davidk on Fri, 07/03/2015 - 12:34pm.
Something to do with that adjacent chute and unloading, no doubt, but I'm not really getting it. (At first I thought they were wagons but I see only one axle per device and I think I see some handles.)

Q: Can you center labels inside map fields (states, counties, etc.)? When I choose "Middle" alignment for the labels for geographic fields, the labels don't really move.
Are labels "centered" already for geographic fields by default?
When I show labels for county fields and choose middle alignment, the labels don't move.
Screenshot from sample Superstore Data. Default label alignment is the same as middle alignment. Default label alignment also looks centered for states. It is harder to tell if labels are centered for smaller shapes such as counties.

A: yes the labels are centered by default for geographic fields. I agree that it is hard to tell for smaller shapes as well as for large countries that have a unique shape.


The interface is slick, but will you miss having tighter control?
Following in the steps of packages built around Corel Draw and WordPerfect, Digital Studio 2010 is a suite of programs consisting of Paint Shop Photo Express, VideoStudio Express, DVD Factory and WinDVD.
The main image viewer is impressively fast. It's also easy to import new photos or videos into albums, but only from a local machine – there's no way of fetching media from other machines over a home network.
Paint Shop Photo Express works fast and can make simple improvements to images.
VideoStudio Express does the same simple things for videos, such as trimming, but you can't get down to the frame level for accurate cuts.
While we can see a market for simple photo and video editors, we disagree with some of the design decisions here.
In particular, the fixed image window size and lack of basic network support are strange, and will leave more experienced users itching to go back to the old complexities.

Testosteron, 17β-hydroksy-4-androsten-3-on – organiczny związek chemiczny z grupy androgenów, podstawowy męski steroidowy hormon płciowy. Jest produkowany przez komórki śródmiąższowe Leydiga w jądrach pod wpływem hormonu luteinizującego, a także w niewielkich ilościach przez korę nadnerczy, jajniki i łożysko.

We krwi tylko niewielka część testosteronu występuje w postaci wolnej oraz związanej z albuminami, reszta jest związana (nieaktywna) z białkiem transportowym SHBG ().

W tkankach docelowych dochodzi do przemiany testosteronu w 2,5 raza silniejszą formę 5-α-dihydrotestosteron. Aby wywrzeć swoje działanie biologiczne testosteron łączy się z receptorami dla hormonów sterydowych znajdujących się w cytoplazmie i jądrze komórek efektorowych.

W leczeniu stosowane są pochodne testosteronu – estry do stosowania doustnego lub iniekcji o powolnym uwalnianiu z tkanki mięśniowej.

Działanie
 kształtowanie płci i cech płciowych w życiu płodowym (jego niedobór, brak, lub wada receptorów u płodu z kariotypem XY powoduje wady rozwojowe takie jak: spodziectwo, obojnactwo rzekome męskie, szczególnym przypadkiem jest zespół niewrażliwości na androgeny). Pod wpływem testosteronu wydzielanego przez komórki Leydiga przewody Wolffa rozwijają się w najądrza, nasieniowody i kanaliki plemnikotwórcze.
 wpływa na spermatogenezę (egzogenny testosteron był badany pod kątem użycia jako środek antykoncepcyjny dla mężczyzn),
 wykształcanie się wtórnych cech płciowych (budowa ciała, głos, typ owłosienia, zarost twarzy itp.),
 wpływ anaboliczny poprzez pobudzenie syntezy białek (powoduje także zwiększenie masy mięśniowej itp.),
 może zwiększać poziom libido (przy długotrwałym stosowaniu efekt ten zanika),
 do niedawna sądzono, że przyspiesza zakończenie wzrostu kości długich, nowsze badania wykazały, że odpowiedzialne za to są estrogeny
 pobudza rozwój gruczołu krokowego, zwiększa jego objętość, silnie pobudza rozwój raka prostaty (z tego względu stosowanie testosteronu jako leku powinno być pod regularną kontrolą poziomu PSA)
 zwiększa poziom cholesterolu we krwi (zatem teoretycznie zwiększa ryzyko miażdżycy tętnic) – w przeciwieństwie do estrogenów, które zmniejszają poziom cholesterolu we krwi, może podnosić ciśnienie krwi. Nierozstrzygnięty jest ciągle wpływ testosteronu na zwiększenie ryzyka chorób serca i naczyń. Stosowanie testosteronu w postaci żelu u mężczyzn z objawami hipogonadyzmu prowadzi do istotnego zwiększenia objętości niezwapniałych blaszek miażdżycowych.

Testosteron u kobiet
Testosteron stosowany u kobiet wykazuje działanie anaboliczne – jednak leczniczo jest to bardzo rzadko praktykowane z uwagi na niepożądane działania, takie jak: maskulinizacja, hirsutyzm. Stosuje się najczęściej w przypadku zaawansowanych, hormonalnie czynnych nowotworów. Testosteron podany kobiecie będącej w ciąży może u płodów żeńskich wywołać objawy maskulinizacji i cech obojnactwa rzekomego żeńskiego. Również patologicznie nadmierne wydzielanie pochodnych testosteronu z nadnerczy (w wyniku defektu genetycznego) przez rozwijający się płód żeński może powodować zespół nadnerczowo-płciowy z cechami obojnactwa rzekomego żeńskiego.

If your car is still under a manufacturer's warranty and is unable to be fixed despite a "reasonable number" of attempts, you may be able to file legal claim to receive a comparable replacement or the return of your purchase price. Under the California Lemon Law, the manufacturer is required to pay for the consumer's legal fees on a meritorious claim. This helps consumers who could not otherwise afford an attorney obtain quality legal representation.
The counties of Ventura and Santa Barbara are located adjacent to one another in the southern portion of California. According to U.S. Census Bureau estimates, Ventura County, California boasted a population of 846,178 residents in 2014 and Santa Barbara County had a population of 440,668 residents. For the 2014 calendar year, the California Department of Motor Vehicles estimated that 776,401 vehicles were registered in Ventura County and 386,395 vehicles were registered in Santa Barbara County.
If you are dealing with a vehicle that seems to be unrepairable, you should discuss your situation with a Lemon Law attorney at The Bickel Law Firm, Inc. Our experienced California lemon law lawyers assist consumers living in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties and all other parts of the state. We offer free consultations to outline the merits of your case and the factors involved in the California Lemon Law process.

Australia – Outside Australia "Permanent Place of Abode
Australia – Outside Australia "Permanent Place of Abode": Taxpayer Wins in Court Decision
This report covers a decision by an Australian court on the issue of permanent place of abode and the implications for breaking Australian tax residency.
To subscribe to GMS Flash Alert, fill out the subscription form.
On 25 February the full bench of the Federal Court of Australia published its decision in Harding v Commissioner of Taxation.1 The full bench overturned last year's decision by the single judge, and found that the taxpayer was a nonresident of Australia by virtue of having established a permanent place of abode in Bahrain.
In Harding , the taxpayer accepted that he was an Australian-domiciled person. On that basis, he could only cease Australian tax residence if he had ceased to reside in Australia under ordinary concepts, and had also established a permanent place of abode outside the country.
It is important that employers and their expatriates carefully assess the tax residency position based on all facts and circumstances, to help ensure that the tax implications of the assignment are understood, and the appropriate tax reporting is undertaken through payroll and in personal tax returns.
This decision by the Full Court is an indication that taking a less narrow position on what constitutes a "permanent place of abode" could mean a taxpayer who can demonstrate that he or she is living in a foreign country for an extended period can break Australian tax residency.
Case Details in Brief
The taxpayer was an Australian citizen living and working in the Middle East for more than six years. During this period, Mr. Harding stayed in a number of fully furnished apartments within one apartment complex in Bahrain.
The case concerned only one of the years of income during which Mr Harding lived in Bahrain. The single judge had found that for this year, the taxpayer had ceased to reside in Australia under ordinary concepts. However, in forming the view that the taxpayer had not established a permanent place of abode in Bahrain, His Honour placed emphasis on
the taxpayer's occupancy of a series of apartments in Bahrain, rather than just one on an ongoing basis. Factors in the analysis of "permanence" included Mr. Harding having purchased his own television and linen, but not having to pay for utilities.
In the joint judgment2 of Davies and Steward JJ, with which Logan J concurred, a broader interpretation of "place of abode" was taken:
"In our view, for the reasons given below, the 'place' of abode, in the specific legislative context here, also refers to a town or a country. In 2011, Mr Harding's permanent place of abode was Bahrain. That was the 'place' where he was living. For that reason he was not a resident of Australia."
KPMG NOTE
This more holistic approach to the concept of a "place of abode" is welcome in the context of a piece of legislation that has been in place for decades, and makes room for appropriate recognition of the variety of accommodation circumstances that may exist for expatriates working in different parts of the world.
The judgment also aligns with the objectives set out in the Board of Taxation's review of individual residency rules, which included a streamlining of the factors that should be considered in determining tax residence, so as to require a less "forensic" examination of a taxpayer's circumstances.
While the Commissioner of Taxation may yet seek leave to appeal to the High Court, the fact that a decision fit for the 21st century has been reached in relation to the application of 20th century legislation is welcomed. It is hoped that the Board of Taxation's review may in the near future be turned into genuine 21st century legislation.

As long as you have internet connectivity around you, today you can search for almost anything that you are looking for from the comfort of your home and find it. For that reason, if you are searching for Asian Dating Sites or a gay dating site, you can start your search for them on the internet because you will be able to find many different sites. Considering that you will find different people in different dating sites, the best thing that you can do is to narrow your search by picking a few of these dating sites so that you can access more details about them on their websites. You can compare different dating sites depending on the information that you will get about the people there, so that you can select that site where you will find the kind of a person that you would want to date. After you have selected that site where you have found the right person to date, it is also important for you to check the rating of that site on the Better Business Bureau, to ensure that you are dealing with the right dating site.


Kylie LOVES this TV show currently on Playh*use D*sney Asia. It's called Dib* the Magic*Gift*Dragon. She lights up with excitement and loves to dance to the intro. In fact, she just realized that I had a picture of Dib* on this post and ran to her Daddy and insisted that he come see. I believe it's of Korean origin. I'm not sure if this is playing in the states currently but it is as cute as can be. I've added a link of the intro song I found on Y*utube so that you can enjoy the happy song that makes our beautiful daughter beam with such excitement. It's quite a catchy tune.

The cooler season (Fall) is here and winter is just around the corner. This is an important season for your lawn as it's now preparing itself by ceasing growth and stockpiling nutrients and sugars for the harsh winter months ahead. Below are some fall lawn care tips that we highly recommend.
As it cools, your lawn slows it's growth and the roots begin storing nutrients in the soil. A good lawn fertilizer will be less in nitrogen (not feeding top growth) and higher in nutrients necessary to feed the root system. These nutrients keep the grass healthy, strong, and disease resistant throughout the winter. Fall fertilization also determines the health of your lawn next year.
Aerating and Fertilizing your lawn in the fall is one of the best ways to improve next year's lawn. Increased root growth and healthier turf will enable your lawn to fight off and crowd-out weed growth. Healthy roots translate to a healthier lawn.
The blades of grass in your lawn, if left too long, will bend over themselves with the weight of snow and trap moisture which can lead to fungal disease such as snow mold. But, we can avoid this problem by mowing longer and a little tighter.
When the weather turns you'll notice your lawn slows it's top-growth, this is when you want to drop the mower deck down 1/2 inch or a notch. You'll want to continue mowing your lawn at that height for a couple weeks after you see no visible growth. The very last mow of the season, lower your blade another notch for that final cut.
To ensure a healthy lawn next spring and summer we recommend raking your lawn as you can and breaking up any large debris and thatch on the soil. Also, any leaves left sitting on the lawn can damage or kill those areas. Be sure to get them all cleared off the lawn.
If you have any bare spots on your lawn, rake vigorously in that area and put down some grass seed. The fall is a great time to spread seed because the seeds will have a chance to germinate without competing with weed growth.
Thorough preparation and winterization of your lawn for the harsh winter months ahead is the best recipe for a healthy lawn next year. Happy lawn caring!

What Is Teddi's Husband's Net Worth? The 'RHOBH' Duo Is Making Serious Bank
By Kathleen Walsh
It's no secret that the stars of The Real Housewives franchises have a ton of money. After all, their incredible wealth is one of the main reasons it's so much fun to watch them. It's also why I spend an absurd amount of my free time looking up the estimated net worths of all of these stars, as well as their husbands. Now with a new Beverly Hills Wife, they get the same treatment. So what is Teddi's husband's net worth? This RHOBH couple is clearly living the good life, but unfortunately I'm unable to give you a specific number just yet.
Sadly for all of us, there doesn't seem to be any specific data readily available that estimates the exact contents of the family's bank accounts. However, by doing a little sleuthing, I can try and guess at least what kind of tax bracket we're looking at here. Maybe. Even the most qualified of income-guessers can't tell exactly how much money a couple is worth. At least, not without looking directly at their finances which sounds like a major invasion of privacy. All I can say for sure is that they're not exactly hurting for cash at the moment.
Teddi's husband Edwin Arroyave works as the CEO of Skyline Security Management, a fast-growing security company that by all accounts is doing incredibly well. He started the company on his own way back in 2004, and has successfully steered the business in a profitable direction ever since. I can't find any direct reference to how much money he's pulling in, but he has been fairly candid that he's not doing too shabby and that the venture has been highly profitable. He was named as one of Security Systems News' "20 Under 40" in 2014. In the interview accompanying the small profile, Edwin was pretty honest about how well he's doing.
When asked what inspired him to get into the security industry, Edwin said bluntly, "I love the money part of it." Maybe this seems a little cynical to some, but to me that's just honest and practical. Why not love the money part of it? Of course, that's not all that he said about his profession. He also added, "But I also saw the demand for it. Growing up in Huntington Park, [Calif.], I saw many burglaries and I just felt good about being able to do something." Edwin talks even more about his upbringing in his LinkedIn profile.
Bravo on YouTube
In his LinkedIn bio, Edwin explains that he took financial responsibility for his family at a very young age. This experience influenced his very serious work ethic which probably has something to do with the great success he's had since he was young. He apparently started working as a telemarketer at just 15 years old and subsequently broke every company sales record in his five years of working there. Clearly, he had a gift for salesmanship.
While I can't point to any specific evidence of the couple's wealth, I do have a plethora of anecdotal data to back up my claim. The first being, obviously, their place on the show. Right from the jump, Teddi accompanied the other women to Las Vegas, and you know you have to have deep pockets to compete with these women. She has also done a tour of her house for Bravo TV. In case you were wondering, it includes an infinity pool and a view that would take Lisa Vanderpump's breath away. Now, I'm no house appraisal expert, but that doesn't sound like the kind of home one can afford on a middle class salary.
As for the specifics, I guess we'll just have to wait for the couple themselves to spill the details.

Happy International Women's Day, from Babel PR
Why International Women's Day?
Today – Tuesday 8th March 2022 – marks the 111th global International Women's Day and it remains as relevant as it did a century ago. 'Why?' – you might ask. It can sometimes be easy to miss or overlook the gender inequality that still exists today, especially when we have grown up in a seemingly progressive society.
The last couple of years have demonstrated that our work is far from over. Reports show that the pandemic has set women's progress back decades. Meanwhile, women's rights are under threat across the globe, and the multitude of humanitarian crises occurring worldwide disproportionately impact women. International Women's Day was created in 1911 with the intention to commemorate the achievements of women and voice the urgent need to accelerate gender parity. These intentions remain equally as poignant today.
One of the missions of International Women's Day this year is to 'improve equality for women in tech' – to elevate and advance gender parity in technology and celebrate the women forging innovation. According to PWC's UK research report on women in tech, only 5% of leadership positions in the technology sector are held by women. Similarly, PWC also reported that only 27% of female respondents said they would consider a career in technology, compared to 62% of males. These statistics illustrate the gender gap within this sector.
I witnessed this gender gap just last week when I had the privilege of attending the annual Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona – the biggest telecoms trade show of the year. The event was extraordinary, but I couldn't help but notice that my female colleagues and I were in the minority by a large margin. As I made my way through the bustling halls teeming with industry executives and the latest telecoms technology, it was glaringly obvious that men dominated this industry and women could be found amongst the crowds few and far between.
Not discouraged or intimidated, this only ignited the ambition in me to be an outspoken advocate for women in tech, and encourage others to do the same. But it is not surprising that many women are deterred from this industry by the notable lack of female peers, leading them to consider a different career path and further exacerbating the cycle of gender disparity. This experience both inspired me and served as a glaring reminder to me that we still have a long way to go…
…which leads me to my next point: You can't be what you can't see. The shortage of female role models within tech (and almost all industries) is a major barrier to women entering these fields of work. Representation matters. Seeing yourself represented, particularly in areas of leadership, is one of the fundamental steps to encouraging women into the workforce and in striving for those positions at the top.
This is what I love about working at Babel. Women make up a strong proportion of our leadership positions: our co-founder and COO, managing director, and two out of our three directors are all females. Seeing this representation is one of the key reasons I chose to apply for a role at Babel. Still new to the tech / PR industry, and to the world of work in general, it is a blessing to have so many positive role models around me that I can look up to and seek guidance from. This has given me the courage to believe that I too, can achieve.
I count myself lucky to be surrounded by women who inspire me every day. But the reality is, representation shouldn't be a privilege that you are 'lucky' to have – it should be the reality everywhere. To encourage more women into the tech sector, we need to give them greater access to role models and mentors at every level. We must amplify the voices of existing role models around us and promote more women to leading positions.
Not only is representation important to improve gender quality, but accommodation is also equally so. To bring more women on board, the technology sector must be an attractive and inclusive working environment. At Babel, accommodating our employee's individual needs and commitments is especially important to us. We offer flexible working arrangements (including remote working, extended lunch hours, and the option to work on flexi-time), as well as wellbeing leave. We also provide support to any team members who wish to work from home on a more ad hoc basis. These perks are beneficial to all of our team members, but particularly those with familial commitments outside work.
This year, we have seen three of our employees go on maternity/paternity leave (all with a 100% return rate), with another about to start their maternity leave shortly. We offer great packages for our staff returning to work; such as extended leave, as well as two weeks of return to work pay or two weeks of additional annual leave. We understand that returning to work may involve flexible working hours and we make arrangements for this in advance.
Policies such as these are accommodating to different circumstances, and are the solutions that will help women reach their full potential within their careers.
As was reported in 2020, we are 100 years away from achieving gender equality. While this statistic is scary, see this as a call to action: a call to admire and celebrate the incredible women around you that inspire you, whilst calling out bias and inequality where it exists.
The more we encourage one other, and challenge stigma and discrimination, the more we can #BreakThe Bias and foster a more inclusive world. This is what International Women's Day is for.

PRESS RELEASE: Staff Update

In addition to our preseason rankings, The Eighth Man staff will be releasing a series of articles focusing on the top 10 club teams and top 10 collegiate teams. Each article will be written by two members of the staff, one who believes the team will live up to or exceed expectations and one who thinks they will come up short.
SHSU's Time to Shine
By Jackson Johnson, Correspondent
While other top-ten college programs are facing high turnover this season, SHSU will retain much of their 2017-18 roster. This advantage of consistency will make them a shoe-in to, at minimum, meet expectations.
Having a number of experienced veterans—including keeper Sam Reagan, beater Baldemar "Baldy" Nunez and chasers Red Rutledge and Travis Ward—gives SHSU an edge this season as they look to make the deepest run in program history. Finishing in the top 16 of the collegiate division at USQ Cup 11, SHSU needs only to make it to the Elite Eight to meet The Eighth Man's expectations in the preseason rankings, a task which should not be difficult for this veteran-packed squad.
Even if the road gets bumpy, SHSU is no stranger to a challenge. This is a team that brought only 18 players to nationals last season, and lost three of them by day two. With such a depleted roster they managed to slip under the radar and give lower-string players more minutes. With increased depth and the retention of their go-to players, SHSU is now looking to compete at full strength with the other powerhouse teams in the Southwest.
When it comes to the quaffle game, the Bearkats will rely on the experienced trio of Reagan, Rutledge and Ward to produce points. Fresh off yet another season with the Legends, these three will not only bring with them the physicality the League City MLQ team is known for, but also a capability to take over games against even the most experienced college opponents.
Complimenting the aforementioned quaffle lineup are returning beaters and Legends teammates Baldemar "Baldy" Nunez and Katherine Hayworth. The pair will give the Bearkats a mixed-gender set that should be able to compete with any college beating line around the country. Look to Hayworth to be a defensive stalwart while Nunez causes chaos on both ends of the pitch. If the latter manages to come out hot at nationals and the Bearkats get a favourable draw, SHSU will see that Elite Eight berth.
SHSU may not be the most noteworthy squad in the top-ten, but it may have the most potential to exceed expectations. Keep an eye on SHSU come April. If they can stay healthy and eager, an Elite Eighth finish or better at USQ Cup 12 is in their future.
Stuck in Purgatory Once Again
By Raghuveer Achukola, Correspondent
Over the past two seasons, SHSU has been a chaotic team to place. They've shown up to some tournaments playing at the talent level of a low-tier B-team and shown up to others playing like a collegiate A-team. After SHSU beat Texas State University 110*-90 in pool play at this year's unofficial Breakfast Taco, it's fair to wonder whether this SHSU team will live up to their No. 9 pre-season ranking.
Though the question is fair, the answer is simple. They will not. Entering the 2018-19 season, it seems SHSU will remain, once again, in purgatory.
Texas State and SHSU's methods of mixing players from their A- and B-teams obfuscates what little information we can glean from a score in an unofficial tournament. Moreover, with SHSU returning a majority of their roster, and Texas State's quaffle line filled with rookies, it is hard to guarantee that the former's early success will continue.
The most damning evidence, however, is in the Bearkat's past record. In games against teams that ended the season ranked in The Eighth Man rankings, SHSU is an abysmal 2-40 all-time. Only four of those losses were in range, and neither win (100*-90 over University of Texas, 100*-40 over UTSA) occurred anytime in the last two seasons. To compound this, SHSU has a history of inexplicable losses to weaker teams. SHSU's record over the last three years against Oklahoma State University, hardly a top-10 college program, has been 2-6. The optimism surrounding the Bearkats this year seems to center around their returners; the team managed to sustain fewer losses to weaker teams last season, and was able to play stronger teams in range. SHSU relied on careful beating and physical defense last season in close losses to both Texas State (60-120*) and Texas A&M University (110-150*)
All that being said, teams are not given a top-10 rank based on how well they lose. Certainly, SHSU has been a capable team for many years. One of the biggest reasons for SHSU's stalwart presence in the Southwest is due to the experience that many Bearkats get every summer on the League City Legends. The rhythm and chemistry of beater Baldemar Nunez with SHSU quaffle players like Travis Ward and Sam Reagan gave each of League City's opponents a tough game—even top teams like the Rochester Whiteout and Austin Outlaws.
But that's just the point. Much like SHSU, the Legends managed to put forward all their effort in tight snitch-range games against top competition, only to not convert any of that effort into actual wins. Besides that, more than five SHSU players have played MLQ for three seasons running, casting doubt over how beneficial that extra time has been for SHSU's program at large.
SHSU's problem, unexpectedly, is not the lack of a seeker. The Bearkats have played a total of six in-range games against ranked competition in just as many seasons. No, the Bearkats's true problem is that the effort the expend playing top teams is too taxing for their key players, leaving nothing in the tank for snitch on pitch play. Film of SHSU's regional games against Texas and Texas A&M corroborate this key insight. SHSU played admirably in both games for a good chunk of the seeker floor–staying comfortably in range against Texas and holding a commanding lead against Texas A&M. Around the fifteenth minute, though, things started to change. SHSU's quaffle rotation, whether due to exhaustion or a breakdown in coordination with their beaters, began to commit turnover after turnover. Soon Texas had established a 50-point lead, and A&M was back on top.
That has been the story of SHSU for the past two seasons. It is possible that a solid recruiting season, coupled with the right stars, will result in a strong showing for SHSU. Maybe the chemistry built by their MLQ experience turns the chaser lines into one of the top chaser lines in college quidditch. Maybe the Bearkats even get their first win against a ranked opponent in two and a half years.
But we've seen this story before, and we know how it ends–SHSU will finish this season without a signature win, and thus no wins worthy of a No. 9 ranking.
