Burning Fat Utilizing Raspberry Ketones
Diseases, Conditions and Treatments Nagma 2 November, 2016 27 July, 2018
In some cultures, the leaf and berry of the plant functioned as medicine for centuries. The fruits and foliage are oftentimes mashed to create do-it-yourself lotions. Berries are consumed and used in many dishes. A tea made from raspberry foliage was used historically to treat intestinal ailments. Some preparations are said to help any person with diarrhea or influenza. Mashed fruits can also be used as a beautifying agent and a cleanser. There can be some claims that raspberry can elevate the frequency of urination.
There are many functions that seem to indicate the weight reduction reduction nature of this fruit. The weight reduction implication may be due to the presence of ketone bodies in raspberry. This fragrant compound is utilized in perfumes. If taken, it emits a fruity smell that perfumeries love. This is a useful compound albeit expensive. Raspberry Ketones were marketed as a weight reduction supplement after studies with rats proved possible fat-burning functions.
Weight gain is said to be prevented by ketone treatments, as verified in rats. Fat accumulates at a much slower rate due to the treatment. Triglyceride levels in the blood also lowered. Obese individuals are the ones that will benefit most should these claims be real. The ketones operate as catalysts in the fat burning process. The results have not been replicated in human experiments.
High ketone dose was used in murine models to find out if there's truth in these claims. At elevated dose, the ketone treatment may lead to the increase in norepinephrine-induced lipolysis. Weight loss product companies have began funding their own research to seek more information on the effects of these ketones.
The distinctive smell of the fruits that these ketones give off have also been valuable for perfumes, but not for weight reduction products. Now, the reputation of the health supplements containing this compound amplified almost overnight. People are recognizing raspberry as more than just a fruit.
The chemical structure of these ketones is simple. The ketones are chemically comparable to capsaicin and synephrine, two other substances that give flavor to fruits. Like ketones, these substances have been implicated in the control of metabolism.
Ketones may not come from fresh fruits but from the laboratory. The natural profusion of ketone from the aromatic constituents of raspberry is limited. Ketones are often synthesized artificially. Ketones can be synthesized utilizing chemical intermediates.
Dietary health supplements containing synthetic ketones contain 100 milligrams of ketones per tablet. Preliminary studies show no toxic adverse effects of the chemical at five times the average dose. The effects at higher dosages are still unknown. Elderly men and women or other individuals with illnesses should take care not to overdo ketone treatment. These substances are not only important for dieters but for everyone, particularly females.

Rob Halford, 'Made In Hell' – Lyrics Uncovered
Matthew Wilkening Published: August 25, 2011
The lyrics for Halford's 'Made In Hell' run down the life and times of their author, Judas Priest singer Rob Halford, better than any biographer could ever do. So in honor of the Metal God's 60th birthday (Aug. 25), while our brothers at Loudwire run down 11 Things You Didn't Know About Rob Halford, we're just gonna focus on one of most awesome songs he's ever written.
'Made in Hell' is the second of two highly autobiographical songs (also check out the title track) that kick off Halford's critically acclaimed 2000 solo album 'Resurrection.' That record found the singer, who left Priest in 1992, returning to the sound and style of his former band after releasing more experimental music with Fight and 2wo.
He starts off by laying the credit for his decision to become a singer to the mighty Black Sabbath: "From memories of '68, when 'The Wizard' shook the world / Metal came from foundries where the midlands sound unfurled / Something inside took hold of me, I really didn't know / But over time it came to me, I knew which way to go."
From there, he talks about soaking up as much music as possible, until he was ready to make his own mark: "In Henry's and in Mother's where i'd go to bang my head / The feeling took a hold of me with every word I said / The voice was born and came alive from all I saw and heard / And now I knew my destiny, I had to spread the word."
Of course, he did just that, with Judas Priest earning and then holding onto a spot as one of biggest metal bands of the '70s, '80s and '90s, raising hell all on tour over the globe: "I took the scream around the world / From London to L.A. / Unleashed in downtown Tokyo / Blew Godzilla away / Then on the sound and fury went from Sidney to Brazil / It sent the Russians crazy cause they never get their fill."
Halford then engages in a bit of deserved self-congratulations, talking about the influence he and his bandmates had on future generations ("So many bands surrounding you with evil from our source"), before engaging in some fairly awesome perspective-shifting boasting about his music: "It screams across the universe and slams you to the floor."
(It should be also noted that via the absolute kick-ass quality and twin-guitar attack of this song, Halford also sent a clear non-verbal message to the world: I don't necessarily need Judas Priest to do this s---- really well.)
Still, Halford seems to predict his reunion with Judas Priest years before it happened: "From all this insanity, the metal gods will return!" Indeed, they did in 2003, recording two new studio albums and embarking on a series of world tours together. Supposedly, though, another chapter in Halford's life is coming to an end, as the 'Epitaph' world tour the band is on now will be the band's last major trek together.
However, based on the energy Halford seems to get from performing live and making records, and the love of life and music displayed in the lyrics of 'Made in Hell,' we highly doubt this is the last we'll see of Rob Halford.

India requests Karmapa to return from the US, agencies flag his Dominican Republic passport
Venu Shastri 4th October 2018 No Comments KarmapaMinistry of Home AffairsNew DelhiUS
Share If You Like The Article
While the Central government is trying to get Tibetan spiritual leader Karmapa Ogyen Trinley Dorje to return from the United States, Indian agencies have flagged the fact that he possesses a Dominican Republic passport and indicated that it was a reason behind the move to remove him from security watch-list.
Dorje, the 17th Karmapa, has laid down conditions for his return to India, including withdrawal of travel restrictions and requirement for him to get permission from New Delhi to travel abroad.
"The government has asked the Karmapa to return…he has conveyed that he will come back in November," a source in the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) said on Wednesday.
The Karmapa, the source said, is upset that he has to take permission every time he wants to travel, unlike the Dalai Lama, who is free to travel anywhere without restriction.
The Dominican Republic passport offers individuals and families worldwide an irrevocable second citizenship and passport in four to six months, with no visit to the country required. A passport from the Caribbean island-nation also provides visa-free or visa on arrival access to more than 115 countries, including the entire European Union, Singapore and Hong Kong.
Officials said Dorje got Dominican Republic passport since many countries do not recognise the Residential Certificate (RC) issued by India to Tibetan refugees.
In 2015, the Narendra Modi government reviewed the earlier Cabinet Committee on Security (CCS) decision and eased domestic travel restrictions for Dorje, allowing him to visit Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim, except Rumtek monastery.
Former adviser on Tibetan affairs to MHA Amitabh Mathur had told The Indian Express last month that India "does not doubt 17th Karmapa commitment to Tibetan civilisation's struggle and he is the future face of Tibetan Buddhism."
Sources in MHA confirmed that India has formally requested Dorje to return to India, as desired by his followers.
The CCS, headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has decided to allot land to Dorje in Delhi to construct his monastery. The Lieutenant Governor of Delhi, who is also chairman of the Delhi Development Authority, is scouting for land and is expected to decide on one soon, an official said.
Dorje had escaped to India through Nepal in 2000, at the age of 14. The Sikkim government has written to the Centre on multiple occasions and requested that Dorje be allowed to make his claim as the 17th Karmapa. The Centre has not taken a decision yet, contending that the matter is pending before courts.

Inglewood caps rent increases at 5 percent, backtracks on relocation fees
After a flurry of last-minute changes, new law goes into effect next week to help stem rent gouging

By Jason Henry | jhenry@scng.com | Pasadena Star News
PUBLISHED: June 12, 2019 at 3:41 p.m. | UPDATED: June 28, 2019 at 12:11 p.m.
Attempting to strike a balance between the interests of renters and property owners, Inglewood approved a rent control ordinance this week that caps increases at 5% — lower than first proposed — but imposes protections against unfair evictions.
With the City Council's 4-0 vote Tuesday after a flurry of last-minute changes, the city joins more than a dozen other municipalities in California, including Santa Monica and West Hollywood, that regulate rental prices.
Under the ordinance, which will go into effect after an emergency ordinance is adopted next week, landlords in Inglewood can raise rent above the cap, but only in certain circumstances. The cap automatically increases if the consumer price index climbs above 5%. Otherwise, property owners can charge 3% on top of that if their units already are priced at or below 80% of the current market rate, or if they complete upgrades worth at least $10,000.
The city's housing commission will decide those exemptions on a case-by-case basis and will have the power to send inspectors to verify any improvements.
Property values soaring
Property values and rents have skyrocketed in parts of Inglewood stemming from a slew of new developments, including an NFL stadium, a revitalized Forum concert venue and a new connection to the Metro.
Mayor James T. Butts Jr. said it was important for the city to strike a balance between property owners and renters, who make up nearly two-thirds of Inglewood's population. Several spoke at the meeting about their fears of getting priced out of their hometown.
Following testimony from both sides, Butts revised his proposed ordinance on the spot, lowering the maximum increase from 8% to 5% and removing a requirement that landlords pay a relocation fee for any tenant who can't afford an increase.
Prosperity 'at the expense of others'
"We can't have a city where prosperity for some comes at the expense of others," Butts said.
Relocation fees — equal to three times the average rent in Inglewood — are still required if a renter with at least two years of tenancy is evicted without just cause, according to the amendments. The change was driven by the testimony of small apartment owners who argued they have kept rents low and cannot afford to pay as much as $5,310 to relocate a tenant over an increase that could be less than $50 a month.
"This does not penalize the mom-and-pops that have kept their rents below market rate," Butts said after offering the amendments.
'Huge win' for citizens group
Uplift Inglewood Coalition called the ordinance a "huge win" even if the citizens group didn't get everything it wanted. Members advocated for a rollback on rents to October 2017 levels, but Butts repeatedly said he didn't believe resetting rents would be legal or fair. The organization also wanted an elected rental board and instead got an appointed housing commission.
Still, the cap on rent increases and the just-cause protections were cause for celebration, members said.
"The City Council took a huge step today in the right direction," said D'Artagnan Scorza, a member of the coalition. "This is a sign of this council being responsive and listening to residents. It is also a reflection of our hard work having paid off over the last three years."
Uplift members originally were told by city officials to drop their push for rent control because "it was never going to happen," Scorza said. "This is people power all the way," he said.
Some rents up 140 percent
Last year, Butts said he would recommend local legislation only if he saw a "trend of wholesale evictions." Rent-controlled units in Santa Monica were 75 percent higher than comparable rents in Inglewood, he said.
But when Inglewood put out a survey asking about rental increases, residents reported jumps ranging from 2 percent to 140 percent. At two apartment buildings, Butts negotiated with property owners to get residents more gradual increases, or a lump sum of $10,000 if they had to move out. In other parts of the city, some tenants saw their housing costs spike by as much as $1,000 a month.
Inglewood adopted a temporary emergency ordinance in March that limited rent increases to 5 percent for 45 days. The City Council then extended those protections another 60 days in April while a more permanent ordinance was drafted. The original draft — before the last-minute adjustments — set the limit at 8 percent, required relocation for any increase over 4 percent and established a just-cause eviction policy.
The rent-control ordinance exempts properties containing four dwelling units or less. It also exempts units built after 1995 due to the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act, a state law restricting rent control to older buildings.

Iran May Pass #MeToo Law
An emerging #MeToo movement and public horror over "honor killings" helped spur the government's bill, but it still must be adopted by the country's conservative Parliament.
After a decade of deliberation, Iran's government approved a bill on Sunday that criminalizes violence and sexual misconduct against women and specifies punishments for perpetrators.
The decision to move ahead with the bill — which, if approved, will be the first law of its kind in Iran's penal code — comes in the aftermath of a groundbreaking #MeToo movement and shocking reports of so-called honor killings that have gripped the public over the past six months.
The bill, which has been passed by the Cabinet, must now be adopted by the country's conservative Parliament to become law, but women's advocates are hopeful of success.
"The events of last year, both 'honor killings' that got national attention and the #MeToo movement in Iran, have increased the pressure on the government to push this bill that was in the making for almost a decade," said Tara Sepehri Far, a researcher for Human Rights Watch based in New York, referring to the murders of women by male relatives for supposedly shaming their families, even if the women themselves were victims of sexual violence.
Ms. Sepehri Far said that the bill still fell short of international standards and did not address all the aspects of violence that women face. It did not address child marriage and marital rape, she said, and did not properly define domestic violence.
Still, many Iranian rights activists and lawyers said it marked a step forward and reflected the shifting dynamics of Iranian society, which they describe as steps ahead of the government on issues of violence against women.
The complete draft of the bill has not yet been made public, but a summary posted on the government's website states that "any act that causes physical or emotional or reputational harm" to a woman or results in curbing her freedom and social rights is considered a crime.
It also addresses sexual harassment and coercing women into sexual acts short of intercourse as crimes. Sending a woman an unsolicited sexual message, text or photograph, demanding sexual relations or forcing sexual acts could bring penalties of six months to two years in prison and up to 99 lashes, as well as monetary fines.
The judiciary is required to create and sponsor centers that provide support for victims of violence and women vulnerable to violence, the bill summary said. Security forces are also obliged to create a special female police unit to protect women.
"We have been waiting for this for 10 years," said Shima Ghoosheh, a lawyer based in Tehran who specializes in representing women and who said she was one of the attorneys the government consulted. "I think this is a step forward because it gives us a general law for protecting women that we can build on and amend."
The bill still faces a big test in Parliament, which has a conservative majority often at odds with the more centrist government.
Ms. Ghoosheh and two other legal experts in Iran said they expected Parliament to pass the bill because it had been watered down and altered to reflect the views of the judiciary and lawmakers.
Masoumeh Ebtekar, Iran's vice president for women's and family affairs, tweeted that the measure was the result of hundreds of hours of deliberation by legal and government experts and "dedicated to the deserving and patient women of Iran."
In May, Romina Ashrafi, 14 years old, was beheaded by her father for running away with her boyfriend. The incident drew national attention because the father had consulted a lawyer and committed the crime after knowing he would face a maximum 10 years in prison. In the aftermath, a law that had been stalled for 11 years to protect children against violence was nicknamed "Romina's law" and passed.
Aydin Aghdashloo, an internationally acclaimed artist with ties to the ruling elite, faces accusations of sexual misconduct over a 30-year span.Farhad Irani
In August, Iranian women broke their silence and voiced allegations of sexual misconduct against more than 130 men, including a prominent artist, Aydin Aghdashloo. Thirteen women accused Mr. Aghdashloo, who is a dual Iranian-Canadian citizen, of sexual misconduct over a span of 30 years. He has denied the allegations but has faced a backlash in the art world, with an exhibition in Iran canceled and a documentary about his life withdrawn from consideration by two international film festivals.
Two other men who faced allegations of rape and sexual misconduct are now in prison. Keivan Imamvardi, a bookseller accused of raping 300 young college students, was sentenced to "corruption on earth," the highest crime in Iran's penal code, and could face capital punishment, according to a report by Hamshahri newspaper on Monday.
An Iranian-British sociologist, Kameel Ahmady, who also faces multiple allegations of sexual misconduct, was sentenced in December to eight years in prison for an unrelated charge of "working for a hostile government."
Mr. Ahmady's lawyer did not respond to questions on whether the sexual allegations had weighed on the judiciary's sentencing or been discussed during court hearings.
Leila Rahimi, a Tehran-based lawyer who has been representing #MeToo cases pro bono, said at the very least the new bill will help bolster women who are coming forward with their stories and taking legal action. Ms. Rahimi said the number of women contacting her with #MeToo cases has steadily increased since August.
"They tell me I have to do this for myself and for other women," said Ms. Rahimi. "The hope is, as the women speak up, the law will listen."

If you're in the market for an affordable SUV, then look no further than Nissan's Qashqai. There is an optional four-wheel drive feature that gives you excellent handling in icy conditions.
Although it is a large SUV type car, the Qashqai is very economical to run with relatively small engines. It has a large boot and has plenty of space inside the cabin for driver and passengers. There are also tons of features inside, even with the most basic model.

If the Range Rover Sport is out of your price range and you're after an very reasonably priced SUV, we'd recommend a Volkswagen Tiguan. Granted, it's not as fun to drive as a Range Rover Sport but it has tons of technology on board that will make driving during winter a lot easier and comes with VW's four-wheel drive '4MOTION'.

BMW's are well sought-after cars as they're exceptional to drive and look luxurious. If having an executive car that can cope with icy and snowy conditions then this is the one for you.

Electrocutions and burns cause thousands of injuries in New York every year. Also referred to as electric shock, electrical injuries occur when a person makes contact with a live source of electricity either directly or through an object that conducts electricity such as a ladder or a power tool or an appliance. Exposure to hot electrical wires can cause severe burns, damage to the nervous system or heart or other unwanted symptoms. The damaged sustained depends on the amount and type of electrical current and the way that it travels thru the individual's body.
Victims and families of electrocution accidents may be entitled to significant compensation for these injuries, especially when they are caused by negligence.
For adults, most electric shock incidents occur at work, although they can also happen at home. Electrocution is a serious occupational hazard for people working in construction sites, office buildings and commercial facilities such as restaurants. A variety of items can contribute to electrocution injuries including: workers who encounter the presence of live and exposed electricity located near metal equipment or water.
Unintentional or accidental contact with high-voltage power lines, as often occurs at construction sites or in the workplace.
Construction workers, homeowners, tenants and employees are all vulnerable to the dangers of exposed or faulty wiring.
Injury to the spine or other internal injuries if a person has been literally thrown by the current.
Whenever a person has received a high-voltage shock, medical attention should be sought immediately. The speed and quality of medical resuscitation saves lives.
You may have the right to receive compensation for injuries which are sustained as the result of suffering from an electrical shock!
If you or a loved one has been injured in an electrical accident in New York we can help.

Sugarcane extracts large amounts of nutrients from the soil and accumulates them in the plant due to its large mass production. Thus, agricultural practices ensuring adequate supply of nutrients to the crop must be adopted to obtain high crop yields in the cane plant cycle and small decreases in the subsequent cycles. In this chapter, the following items will be addressed and discussed: soil sampling, soil fertility evaluation, liming, plastering, cane plant chemical fertilization, sprout chemical fertilization, sugarcane nutritional status evaluation, organic fertilization, use of cultural remains and residues from sugar and alcohol industry, use of humic substances, fertilization, and quality of the sugarcane broth.

Smallish creamware jugs may have been used for purposes other than serving beer - for example, for milk. The swelling barrel-shaped body with flaring foot and rim was one of the most popular jug forms in the last quarter of the 18th century.
The taking of Quebec in 1759 by the British commander James Wolfe was the turning-point in a long-running struggle between the French and British for control of North America. The death of Wolfe at the moment of victory - like that of Nelson in 1805 at Trafalgar - caught the public imagination and turned him into a great hero. The engraving of Benjamin West's painting of 1771- The Death of General Wolfe - became the fastest-selling print of its time on publication in 1776. Yet retrospective representations of historical events are not always what they seem. When Wolfe was dying on the battlefield - the Heights of Abraham at Montreal - he asked his best friend, Colonel John Hale, to take home and present the despatches (the official report of the battle) to George II, who in turn asked Hale to raise a new regiment, the 17th Lancers. Later, Colonel Hale declined to pay the 100 guineas 'admission' required by West (1738-1820), and was excluded from his painting - and of course also from the print by William Woollett (1735-1785). Whether it was due to poverty (Hale had 21 children) or principle is uncertain. But here the arts of painting and printmaking, by deliberately manipulating facts (others are included who were not at Wolfe's side when he died), prove how unreliable they can be regarding historical truth.

British Galleries: The decoration of this jug is based on the above engraving by William Woollett, showing the death in 1759 of General Wolfe. The engraving itself was taken from a painting by Benjamin West (1735-1820). Such commemorative wares reinforced the patriotic sentiments that were widespread during the struggle with the French for the control of North America.(27/03/2003)
Transferred from the Museum of Practical Geology, Jermyn Street
The death of General Wolfe is copied from the painting by Benjamin West. The jug was possibly made by Thomas Wolfe who claimed a relationship with the General.

Save 10% off selected rudder with the purchase of this kayak - Choose the rudder from the dropdown and the discount will reflect in the cart. Discount does not apply to Wilderness Systems Helix PD Pedal Drive.
The Wilderness Systems Radar 115 is an exceedingly versatile fishing kayak. It can be paddled with a traditional kayak paddle, pedaled with the new Helix PD Pedal Drive, or powered by the Helix MD Motor Drive. The SMART hull technology combines stability, maneuverability, acceleration, responsiveness and tracking for optimal performance in multiple water environments and configurations. Design elements include an upswept bow for a dry ride, a defined keel line for excellent tracking, a rockered chine for responsive steering and a flat, stable platform for standing and freedom of movement in flat to rough water. The Radar features state of the art outfitting including the SlideTrax rails, multiple storage hatches, and generous rear tankwell storage. The AirPro Max seat is as comfortable as it is functional; its quick-drying, breathable mesh fabric won't fade in the sun, the quick-adjust levers let you slide the seat fore and aft, and it can be stored vertically to open up the deck for stand up fishing.
Love this boat overall. Currently, i'm paddling it only. Hopefully i will own the pedal drive in the next few months which is my MAIN reason of buying this kayak. Keep in mind my review is based on paddling only. The commercials sold me on Paddle,Pedal,Power......not a believer in the paddling now. I'm sure the 135 is better by far for paddling. On the 115, tracking is ok (no rudder). The nose rocks side to side when paddling. It does stay straight after paddling though for a bit. Stops pretty quickly.....could be a pro and con. Speed of the boat is ok. Not fast at all and not slow, so again ok. It does catch wind, but an anchor trolley system will fix that problem. Stable.....heck yes! It does turn easy too. Great fishing platform! I fish a lot of narrow creeks, rivers and small lakes in Arkansas, so perfect for my needs. Storage is great! Plenty of mounting options too! Love the pre-install gear tracks. I wish it had some factory fishing rod holders though like some ram tubes or even flush mounts. Of course i have already installed some, but for the price i wish it came with something. When paddling, there is some noise from the two removable pod areas (minor issue) I wish it had smooth covers, similar to the Lowrance-Hobie cover (on a bigger scale though of course) for the fish finder areas to reduce that noise and to protect the transducer. Overall, this kayak is a beast even with the negatives i mentioned (again judging the paddling only). You will feel very stable and comfortable with this amazing seat. I'm fine giving up speed and tracking for a few months until i get the pedal drive. BUT, if you are not planning on getting the Pedal Drive in the future (like soon), i would buy a different kayak for sure unless you fish a lot of moving water. It's a 3 star on paddling speed and tracking. It's a 5 star with the pedal drive. Prior of this purchase i owned a Jackson Coosa. The radar by far is an upgrade in speed, stablility, etc....if that helps anyone too.
The Radar itself seems to be a great boat, I ordered it and the Helix drive. The install was fairly easy, but there were a few minor hiccups.
Great kayak, poor rudder! Love the kayak with pedal drive. Greatly increases travel distance. Rudder mech has changed since initial announcement. It is almost impossible to lower and raise from seated position, obviously complicating launching in shallow water. The angle of the lowering rope in relationship to the actual rudder pivot point is too extreme and binds. This not a minor problem that has an easy fix.
Did a lot of research on which kayak would fit my needs. The Radar 115 has all the features that I needed. Width and stability was the main thing. I'm 6'3" 240lbs and I have plenty of room to be comfortable and to stretch out. This is my first kayak and I'm very impressed with it. My first trip out in it was a 10 hour fishing trip. The seat is awesome, I have degenerative disk desease and my back didn't give me any trouble at all and my back was not sore the next day either. So if your looking for a great kayak then this is it..
Really love my Radar 115. Really comfortable and stable. I'm a big guy (6'3" 240lbs) and there was plenty of room to move around and stretch out. I fished for a good 10 hours and never got tired or uncomfortable in the seat. I highly recommend this yak to anyone.
Q: Is the listed weight of the boat (82LBS) include the seat?
A: This is going to be the full weight of the boat and the seat.
Q: In the Wilderness Systems overview video, it says the pedal drive and rudder system is all included. However from your site, it looks like the rudder is sold separately from the pedal drive. Does the kayak come with a rudder if you purchase the aftermarket pedal drive or sold separately?
A: I apologize for the confusion, we have asked our marketing department to update the information. But yes, if you purchase the Helix pedal drive unit, then it will come with the rudder.
Q: I am in the market for this kayak. I am wondering why the radar is on a closeout sale and how long will it last. Thanks.
A: Thanks for your question! This item isn't on closeout, it's just one of the items available as part of our Memorial Day sale. Please let us know if you have any further questions, or if you would like any help placing an order!
Q: I noticed that if you buy the the pedal drive separately you receive the rudder with your purchase with no additional cost. The pricing here shows an additional cost for the rudder, does this pedal drive not include the rudder when you buy the kayak and the drive together?
A: Hello, With the Pedal drive, the rudder kit is going to be included.
Q: Any ETA on when you may get Dusk color option in stock? Thanks!
A: Unfortunately, they discontinued the Dusk color, so we will not be receiving any more of those unless Wilderness Systems decides to make that color again.
Q: How shallow will the radar 115 paddle?
A: It kind of depends on how much weight you have in the kayak. If you have it loaded out close to the 450 pound limit, I would say it will paddle in about 8-12" of water. If you closer to 200 pounds, then you can paddle in anywhere from 4-6" of water.
Q: When will the peddle drive be available for ordering?
A: We should see these by themselves for purchase within the next 6-8 weeks hopefully.
A: Currently we do not have a date set up, but within the next 6 weeks we should have these available.
Q: What is the cost on the pedal drive system for the radar 115?
A: We have not received the exact estimate as they have not been released for sale on its own just yet. This would most likely be in the range of 700-800 dollars for the unit alone.
Q: Does this come with the Helix PD, or is that sold separately?
Q: Any word yet on the radar 115?
A: This kayak is estimated to be shipping towards the end of December.
Q: Are y'all still expecting the radar 115 this week?
A: These were shipped out 11/7, we are expecting to have these in within the next 1-2 weeks.

Q: DRY way of re-raising same set of exceptions in multiple places short:
Is there a way in Ruby to DRY-ify this:
def entry_point_one
  begin
    do_something
  rescue MySyntaxErrorOne, MySyntaxErrorTwo, MySyntaxErrorEtc => syn_err
    raise syn_err.exception(syn_err.message)
  end
end

def entry_point_two
  begin
    do_something_else
  rescue MySyntaxErrorOne, MySyntaxErrorTwo, MySyntaxErrorEtc => syn_err
    raise syn_err.exception(syn_err.message)
  end
end

longer:
I'm building an interpreter. This interpreter can be called using different entry points. If I feed this interpreter a 'dirty' string, I expect it to raise an error. However, it would be nice if I don't get spammed by the by the entire back trace of every method called directly or indirectly by do_something, especially since the interpreter makes use of recursion.
As you can see in the above snippet, I already know a way to re raise an error and thereby removing the back trace. What I would like do is remove the duplication in the above example. The closest I have come thus far is this:
def entry_point_one
  re_raise_known_exceptions {do_something}
end

def entry_point_two
  re_raise_known_exceptions {do_something_else}
end

def re_raise_known_exceptions
  yield
rescue MySyntaxErrorOne, MySyntaxErrorTwo, MySyntaxErrorEtc => syn_err
    raise syn_err.exception(syn_err.message)
end

But that makes the method re-raise-known-exceptions show up in the back trace.
edit: I guess what I want would be something like a C pre-processing macro

A: You can just use the splat on an array.
Straight from IRB:
COMMON_ERRORS = [ArgumentError, RuntimeError] # add your own

def f
  yield
rescue *COMMON_ERRORS => err
  puts "Got an error of type #{err.class}"
end

f{ raise ArgumentError.new }
Got an error of type ArgumentError

f{ raise 'abc' }
Got an error of type RuntimeError

A: while thinking about it a bit more, I came up with this:
interpreter_block {do_something}

def interpreter_block
  yield
rescue ExceptionOne, ExceptionTwo, ExceptionEtc => exc
  raise exc.exception(exc.message)
end

Although it's still not quiet what I would like to have, at least now the extra entry in the back trace has become somewhat better looking.

A: It might be slightly evil, but I think you can simply remove the line from the backtrace ;-)
COMMON_ERRORS = [ArgumentError, RuntimeError]

def interpreter_block
  yield
rescue *COMMON_ERRORS => err
  err.backtrace.delete_if{ |line| line=~/interpreter_block/ }
  raise err
end

I'm not sure it's such a good idea though. You'll have a hell of a lot of fun debugging your interpreter afterward ;-)
Side note: Treetop may be of interest to you.

A: This is a touch hackish, but as far as cleaning up the backtrace goes, something like this works nicely:
class Interpreter

  def method1
    error_catcher{ puts 1 / 0 }
  end

  def error_catcher
    yield
  rescue => err
    err.set_backtrace(err.backtrace - err.backtrace[1..2])
    raise err
  end

end

The main trick is this line err.set_backtrace(err.backtrace - err.backtrace[1..2]). Without it, we get the following (from IRB):
ZeroDivisionError: divided by 0
  from (irb):43:in `/'
  from (irb):43:in `block in method1'
  from (irb):47:in `error_catcher'
  from (irb):43:in `method1'
  from (irb):54
  from /Users/peterwagenet/.ruby_versions/ruby-1.9.1-p129/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'

What we don't want in there are the second and third lines. So we remove them, ending up with:
ZeroDivisionError: divided by 0
  from (irb):73:in `/'
  from (irb):73:in `method1'
  from (irb):84
  from /Users/peterwagenet/.ruby_versions/ruby-1.9.1-p129/bin/irb:12:in `<main>'

A: If you have all of the information you need in the exceptions, and you do not need the backtrace at all, you can just define your own error and raise that, instead of reraising the existing exception.  This will give it a fresh backtrace.  (Of course, presumably your sample code is incomplete and there is other processing happening in the rescue block -- otherwise your best bet is to just let the error bubble up naturally.)
class MyError < StandardError; end

def interpreter_block
  yield
rescue ExceptionOne, ExceptionTwo, ExceptionEtc => exc
  raise MyError
end

A unique vantage point on the structure debate
Jim Naughton June 23rd, 2015 News
Tom Little
As chair of the Standing Committee on Structure and a member of the Task for Reimagining the Episcopal Church (TREC), Deputy Tom Little of Vermont, a lawyer and former state legislator, has had a unique vantage point on the debate about reshaping the church's governance that may well dominate this General Convention. He told Jim Naughton of House of Deputies News about his experience.
What have you learned about the way people think about the structure of the church from your service on two church-wide bodies that have presented differing sets of recommendations on how we should govern ourselves?
I suspect that the vast majority of Episcopalians don't regularly think about the "structures of the church." They do think, and worry, about the future of the church, meaning their congregation, mostly, and to some extent their diocese, and their congregation's attendance, revenues and expenses, and its ministry and mission. These thoughts and worries sometimes lead to frustrations about the governing processes of the church as they impact the financial realities of running a parish or mission, but I doubt that most take the time to study the whys and wherefores of church-wide structures, polity and politics. My experience in the church, as a chancellor, vestry member, General Convention deputy starting in 1997, and a member of various CCABs [committees, commissions, agencies and boards], including TREC and Structure, supports this.
Another way to approach the question would be to observe that most people only think about church structures and governance when something seems to be going wrong, or is at risk of going wrong, and then look for a flaw, an inefficiency, a redundancy, etc., to help better understand the situation, explain the problem and solve it.
Did you encounter distinctive schools of thought regarding the restructuring of church governance?
Of those who do study these things carefully and over time, including longtime General Convention deputies and bishops, members of Executive Council and some CCAB members, and probably some academics in our seminaries, I have found two general types.
One type are incrementalists who think our structure and governance are generally sound, but could be improved by becoming more efficient or effective. Many of these cite the polity of the church as support for their stance, and will tell you that the current structures and governance processes appropriately reflect or embody our polity, with their dispersed decision-making and authority among all of the orders of ministry—including prominent roles for lay persons.
The other type are those who have concluded that our governance and administration are ripe, or overripe, for a thorough house cleaning—and that only with a shakeup of structures and governance processes can our ship be set on its true course.
The Standing Commission on the Structure of the Church (SCSC) conversations tended more to the first type. This may stem from its canonical mandate, which seems to contemplate an ongoing, incremental review.
Indeed, this nature of SCSC may explain why the 2012 General Convention legislative committee on structure chose not to assign the Standing Commission on the Structure of the Church the responsibility for leading the structure conversation in the ensuing triennium—and instead established a task force with its own, distinct and broader "reinvention" mandate. This was underscored by the unanimous voice votes both houses gave to the resolution creating TREC. It was no surprise, then, that the TREC conversations tended to follow the TREC mandate, and were passionately searching for new and innovative solutions to what ails the church.
How did the conversations on TREC differ from the conversations on the standing commission? How were they similar?
What the two conversations were shared (and there was communication and collaboration between them, and not only because I was a member of both and served as the liaison between them) was a deep love for the church and the mission it serves. Also shared was a lack of consensus on many issues. As many have pointed out, despite the unanimity in 2012 that something bold needs to be done to improve or reform the church's governance, structures and administration, achieving consensus on specific reforms and changes has been frustratingly elusive.
I would also comment that the SCSC conversations took place in the conventional CCAB format of two in-person meetings and a series of around a dozen videoconferences. Detailed minutes of each meeting were posted to the General Convention website, yet the commission did not hold any church-wide events or push out its minutes and materials via any social media (except for a modest Facebook presence). TREC, in contrast, consciously, regularly and vigorously used social media to spread word of its meetings and the materials it developed. TREC also held a churchwide web event in September 2014 at the National Cathedral, which was widely attended. Unfortunately, the churchwide, in-person event called for in Resolution C095 was not funded by the 2012 General Convention budget, and did not happen. So I think the two conversations had different contexts within the greater bodies and members of the church, and we all can learn from some of the communication outreach efforts of TREC.
Should the church be paying more attention to this issue? Why? How would it do so?
The church should not lose sight of TREC's conclusion that while structural and technical changes, by themselves, will not be sufficient for re-imagining the church in the midst of a changing world, they are essential to progress. Chosen wisely and implemented well, these changes will give us more time, energy and financial resources for innovation and adaptation, and more efficient decision-making.

Student loan debt is on the rise, with the average 2018 graduate owing $29,800. If you're one of the 44.7 million Americans who borrowed money to get an education, you may find it difficult to keep up with your monthly loan payments after graduation. This may be due to a lack of jobs in your area for your field, the rising cost of living or a health issue that prevents you from working.
Once you default on your student loans, the lender has the right to garnish your wages. If this happens, you can request an economic hardship deferment.
You can visit the Department of Education website to download a form for requesting economic hardship deferment. You'll fill out the form, sign and date it, include supporting documents and mail it to the stated address.
If the wage garnishment has already taken place, then you'll first want to challenge it. Check the timeline to determine whether proper procedure was followed. Garnishment can only happen after a student has defaulted on federal loans by going 270 days without making a payment. Private loans may differ, so check your promissory note for this information.
You should have also been given 30 days' notice prior to the garnishment taking place. You have a right to request a hearing before or after the 30 days' notice. At that time, you can present your case and hopefully have the wage garnishment overturned.
Should you find the wage garnishment, which is typically 15 percent of your paycheck, is causing a financial hardship for you, you can request an economic hardship deferment. You can attempt this even if you were not successful in challenging the wage garnishment.
The form you'll need to fill out for federal loans is located on the Department of Education website. Be prepared to provide your personal information, including your Social Security number, your monthly income, family size and whether you are receiving public assistance or have ever served in the Peace Corps. After signing and dating the form, gather documentation to prove any information you provided on the form and mail the package to the address in the form instructions.
Even if you are granted an economic hardship and the wage garnishments cease for the time being, you'll still have to pay back the student loan once the set time for the hardship has ended. Calling the lender and arranging payments that you can afford is the best way to keep the wage garnishments from resuming. In most cases, both private and federal lenders are willing to negotiate payment arrangements.
If you can demonstrate financial need, your federal loans may also qualify for one of their repayment plans. Options include the Income-Based Repayment Plan, the Pay As You Earn Repayment Plan, the Revised Pay As You Earn Repayment Plan, and the Income-Contingent Repayment Plan.
Top Tax Defenders: Can Filing for Financial Hardship Stop a Wage Garnishment?


More and more students from across the globe are requesting to attend schools in England for long term academic and cultural immersion. England is known for its cultural diversity. With over a thousand years of history, England is a very interesting place to study. You can experience much of the history instead of just reading about it. US students are likely to feel more "at home" than in other countries where English is not the primary language. This helps reduce a little of the culture shock felt by some. Additionally, England offers some of the best schools in the world.
After completing 'Primary School' or 'Junior School' at age 11, students continue their compulsory academic career at a 'Secondary School' or 'High School', which takes students through their GCSEs (General Certificate of Secondary Education) up to the age of 16. Students can then either leave school or continue their studies at a 'Sixth Form' or 'College', this is when they work towards their A Levels or a vocational qualification such as a BTEC or GNVQ.
Choosing to study at boarding school is a fantastic opportunity for students wishing to experience traditional, academically focused and very British style of education. Boarding schools offer pupils a home environment, not just somewhere to sleep and are a fantastic way to create lifelong friends with students from around the world.
I never expected to learn so much about new cultures and what the future holds for me. I became a better person with a much bigger picture of what the world looks like.
We work with many private boarding schools across these counties, meaning you reside 'on-campus'. The biggest advantages of living in 'on-campus' housing are the accessibility to the schools on-campus facilities and activities. For example, a student living on-campus can easily walk to and make use of classroom buildings, computer labs, libraries, sports facilities, student centres, and cafeterias at their own convenience. Additionally, great boarding schools offer pupils a home, not just a place to sleep after work.
Going to a boarding school is a fantastic opportunity that creates lifelong friendships with students from around the world; relationships are formed quickly as you live in close proximity with each other.

Male breast implants are popular among those making the MTF transition. If you are a transgender or transsexual woman and ready to take another step toward a more feminine appearance, you may be considering MTF breast augmentation surgery. Let's take a look at the choices you would need to make, the things you need to take into consideration, as well as any other alternatives that may exist for you. Ready?
When making the transition from male to female, one step of the process may be breast augmentation if you desire a more feminine appearance. There are many choices to be made during this progression as well as some things to take into consideration before undergoing the male breast implants surgery. Whether breast augmentation is the first step or last in your transition, as it can be performed at any time, once you find the right MTF surgeon you will want to discuss all of the following with them before going under the knife.
The first choice your MTF surgeon will likely ask you to make is whether you want saline or silicone implants. There are pros and cons to each. Both have a silicone shell and can come in different profiles depending on the shape you'd like post-surgery. A moderate profile will give you a more natural appearance, a high profile will give you something that is more pronounced, and a moderate plus profile is something in between the two.
When it comes to choosing between saline and silicone, it comes down to appearance as well as feel. If you'd like a firmer feel to your new breasts, you may want to choose silicone versus saline which will have a softer, more natural feel. Silicone will have a more pronounced look and saline will look more natural. Saline implants will also cost less and require a smaller incision, so that is something to take into consideration as well.
It has been found that those who have undergone the MTF breast augmentation surgery are more satisfied with the final result, more specifically with the appearance, when the male breast implants are placed under the pectoral muscle. However, when the implant is placed under the muscle patients can lose up to 20% of their strength in the arms. This is true even if the implant is only placed under the pectoral muscle partially, which is also an option. If you are worried about muscle strength, it may be best to have the implants placed over the pectoral muscle instead of under. If you are more worried about appearance, then under the muscle may be better. However, breast enhancement through other means may altogether be better so that you don't have to worry about either of these options.
The recovery process when dealing with a MTF breast augmentation surgery is extensive. Most doctors will recommend bed rest for at least a few days post-surgery. Then you will most likely not be able to drive for at least a week. You may be asked to wear certain special bandages, such as a surgical bra, for up to two weeks, and then other special bandages for up to a month afterward. Dressings will have to be changed regularly either by you, or if you are uncomfortable with it, you may have to go into the surgeon's office to have them changed by a nurse.
Your physical movements will also be limited. Lifting heavy objects or lifting your arms over your head will not be permitted for at least the first few weeks. Strenuous exercise should be limited for up to two months. If you work a less strenuous job, like a desk job, you can usually return to work after a week. However, if you work a more physically active job, it may be a few weeks before you can get back to your job. You may not even see the permanent results of your surgery for up to three months.
Many of the complications from MTF breast implant surgery are the same as for any surgery, such as: infections, complications with anesthesia, and bleeding. However, there are also complications that are specific to this type of surgery. Because you are stretching your tissue and possibly cutting into the pectoral muscle, you may experience more pain that usual, depending on the size of implant you chose. There is also the possibility of calcification around the implant or scar tissue forming. If too much inflammation or irritation occurs around the implant or incision, it can cause discomfort and pain. This may even be due to allergic reactions which can cause a need for the implants to be removed. One of the worst complications can be necrosis, which is death of the tissue surrounding the implant, which also necessitates removal of the implants.
Instead of jumping straight to breast augmentation surgery, there are natural breast enhancement options that may help. These can prevent the need for surgery which also removes the risk for complications that may arise when undergoing this type of surgery. What are these alternatives? Breast enhancing herbs also work with men transitioning to women and many are very effective. A short list of those that may help include: fenugreek, boosts estrogen; saw palmetto, stimulating breast tissue growth; fennel, boosts estrogen; black cohosh, boosts estrogen; red clover, mimics natural estrogen in the body. These are just a few natural breast enhancement herbs that have proven results.
The MTF breast augmentation surgery can be performed at any state in the transition from male to female. However, this is one surgery that may not be necessary if you are willing to give natural breast enhancement herbs a try. You may just find they work more effectively than you thought they would and you don't need to go under the knife to get the results you desire, thereby avoiding the potential complications of breast augmentation surgery.
