Nimiipuu Health has two locations to serve its patients. The Lapwai Clinic is located in Lapwa, Idaho, also know as The Land of the Butterflys, approximately 13 miles from Lewiston in North Central Idaho. The current clinic is a new 43,000 square foot building that opened in 2004. The Lapwai facility offers comprehensive clinical services including medical care, lab and xray services, pharmacy, dental care, physical therapy, optometry, mental health and substance abuse services, and a wide variety of community health services. services not provided on site may be available through contract health services.
The Indian Health Service provided healthcare to the Nez Perce Tribe unstil 1997 when the tribe took over under P.L. 93-638 of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act. The Tribe has since transitioned into a Self-Governance Compact in 2002, which allows the Tribe more autonomy and flexibility. This has enabled the Tribe to reallocate funds to best suit the needs of its population and to access other source of funding such as grants for program expansion and construction. The second ambulatory clinic is located in Kamiah, Idaho approximately 72 miles Southeast of Lapwai. A new 7,000 square foot health facility for the Kamiah area was opened in 2001 and offers medical, dental, behavior health, and community health services on site.
Commodity foods, and elderly care.
Nimiipuu Health provides a full range of outpatient medical services to the patients. These include preventive services, screening and assessment, diagnostic procedures, treatment, and some rehabilitative services. These services are provided through the on-site services of our medical/nursing staff with the support of our:
Services from those programs are on the basis of a referral from one of the Nimiipuu Health providers. Tribal health programs include community, Maternal and child health and WIC & nutrition programs, drug and alcohol, child protective services, Community Health Representatives, Commodity foods, and elderly care. Indian Health Services include contract care, dental, health education, laboratory, pharmacy, medical, sanitation, mental health, and housekeeping.
Mission: To treat mental and physical illness using standard of care practices. To be sensitive to our patients' life situations when to do so might improve their care.

To provide such services without compromising the well being of the providers and auxiliary staff themselves.
The Coeur d'Alene /kɜrdəˈleɪn/[1] are a Native American people who lived in villages along the Coeur d'Alene, St. Joe, Clark Fork, and Spokane Rivers; as well as sites on the shores of Lake Coeur d'Alene, Lake Pend Oreille and Hayden Lake, in what is now northern Idaho, eastern Washington and western Montana. The name, "Coeur d'Alene" was given to the tribe in the late 18th or early 19th century by French traders and trappers. In French, it means "Heart of the Awl," referring to the sharpness of the trading skills exhibited by tribal members in their dealings with visitors. In the ancient tribal language, members call themselves, "Schitsu'umsh," meaning "The Discovered People" or "Those Who Are Found Here."
The Coeur d'Alene lands were reduced to approximately 600,000 acres (2,400 km²) in 1873 when U.S. President Ulysses Grant established the Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation by Executive Order. Successive government acts cut their property to 345,000 acres (1,400 km²) near Plummer, south of the town of Coeur d'Alene.
In 1990, the Health Board Authority and Tribal Council decided its new clinic would serve all persons in the community regardless of their ability to pay. In 1994 BMC was finally able to provide services to the medically underserved and indigent population. Funding from the Bureau of Primary Health Care allowed the Tribe to establish the clinic as a Community Health Center. A sliding fee scale now could be offered to the non-Indians in the local region.
The Benewah Medical Center (renamed Marimn Health), opened in 1990 with 14 staff and 800 patients. It now employs approximately 170 with an annual budget in excess of 16 million. Currently approximately 6,000 patients account for 30,000 medical, dental and counseling visits each year . Marimn Health has experienced a consistent growth pattern of both patient registration and service use during the entire history of the organization.
The Coeur d' Alene Reservation covers 345,000 acres in North Idaho, spanning the rich Palouse farm country and the western edge of the northern Rocky Mountains. "The Rez," as the locals call it, includes the Coeur d' Alene and St. Joe Rivers, and Lake Coeur d' Alene itself, considered to be one of the most beautiful mountain lakes in the world. Cities in which the tribe reside include DeSmet, Harrison (a small part, population 1), Parkline, Plummer, St. Maries (part, population 734), Tensed, and Worley.
For thousands of years the Coeur d'Alene lived in what would become the Panhandle region of Idaho. Originally the tribe roamed an area of over 4 million acres (16,000 km²) of grass-covered hills, camas-prairie, forested mountains, lakes, marshes and river habitat in northern Idaho, eastern Washington and western Montana. The territory extended from the southern end of Lake Pend Oreille in the north running along the Bitterroot Range of Montana in the east to the Palouse and North Fork of the Clearwater Rivers in the south to Steptoe Butte and up to just east of Spokane Falls in the west. At the center of this region was Lake Coeur d'Alene. The Coeur d'Alene lived in areas of abundance that included trout, salmon, and whitefish. The tribe supplemented hunting and gathering activities by fishing the St. Joe River and the Spokane River. They used gaff hooks, spears, nets, and traps and angled for fish.
The native language is Coeur d'Alene, an Interior Salishan language.
The reservation economy is based mostly on its productive agriculture. The Coeur d' Alene Tribe's 6,000 acre farm produces wheat, barley, peas, lentils and canola. The reservation countryside includes about 180,000 acres of forest and 150,000 acres of farmland, most of that farmland owned by private farmers. The reservation land also produces about 30,000 acres of Kentucky Blue Grass. Logging is another important component of the economy and source of revenue for the tribe. Only selective cutting of forests is undertaken on tribal land. Clear cuts are banned.
The tribal farm covers about 6,000 acres (24 km²) and produces wheat, barley, peas, lentils, and canola. The tribe also has invested in two businesses, a manufacturing plant (BERG Integrated Systems), and a bakery (HearthBread Bakery), in both of which the tribe owns a majority share.
The Coeur d'Alene Tribe employs about 1000 people in 16 departments of government or in tribal enterprises. Employees answer to their supervisors or department heads. Department heads answer to the Director of Administration, who answers to the council.Tourism, including tribal gaming operations, continues to grow and impact the local and regional economy.
The Benewah Medical & Wellness Center (BMWC) (recently renamed Marimn Health) is located in Benewah County in the Panhandle of Idaho on the Coeur d'Alene Indian Reservation. This county has the highest number of minorities of any county in the State of Idaho. Poverty, unemployment, and geographic isolation initially characterized the service area. Almost a third of our users are below 200% of t he Federal poverty guidelines. Clinic users are about 50% Indian and 50% non-Indian. Approximately 40% of our patients have no insurance. Benewah County also typically has the highest unemployment rate in Idaho, and over double the national unemployment rate. Eleven percent of BMC patients are 65 or older. There has been significant economic improvement to the service area in the last 5 years, although conditions continue to exist that warrant continued access for the underserved population. Many in the community continue to be underinsured or have no insurance at all.
The Coeur d'Alene Tribe and City of Plummer, Idaho had the vision to establish a highly successful basic primary medical and dental health care system and address the acute health care needs of the community. Because of the strong demand for services, a Phase II plan was developed and the facility was expanded from 6,750 square feet of space to nearly 17,000 square feet in February, 1994. This expansion provided additional medical exam rooms, a five chair dental wing, increased space for pharmacy services, counseling, community health programs, administrative offices, and conference rooms.

Naytlh - 'a "We Carry the Children"
Our home visiting program provides parenting and life skills for successful and positive parenting. We serve native families that are either expecting or have infants under the age of twelve months, continuing through the child's third birthday. We travel throughout the 11 county areas of the Confederated Tribes of Siletz Indians. The Model and Curriculum we provide is called Family Spirit and was developed by the John Hopkins Center for American Indian Health. We are funded by the Tribal Maternal, Infant, Early Childhood Home Visiting Program (TMIECHV).
Family Spirit is Evidence based and culturally sensitive to native families. Parents gain knowledge and skills for their developing infant through 36 months of age. We also focus on goals and healthy living for parents as a support system for the family as a whole. The program consists of 63 lessons over a 39 month period and is divided into six modules. The modules are broken into these categories: Prenatal care (9 lessons), infant care (16 lessons), your growing child (11 lessons), toddler care (9 lessons), my family and me (6 lessons), and healthy living (12 lessons). While this may seem like a big commitment the lessons vary from 30 minutes to 90 minutes and some can be combined together as we work with your schedule. Family Spirit suggests we deliver at least 32 lessons to our families in order for families to benefit from the evidence based curriculum. For the full benefits of the program we would like to provide all 63 to our families. As a thank you for participating in our program we offer some incentives which we will be happy to share with you upon enrolled in our program.
During your participation if you feel like the timeline is too often we can adjust the home visits to accommodate your schedule while still keeping the programs timeline in mind. We are a voluntary program that delivers home visits in the comfort of the homes of our families. If you would like to get more information and or meet our home visiting staff, we would love to schedule a home visit to give you a full overview of the program.

L'attentato della stazione di Binyamina fu un attentato suicida palestinese avvenuto vicino alla stazione ferroviaria di Binyamina nella città di Binyamina-Giv'at Ada, in Israele, il 16 luglio 2001.

Il gruppo "Guerra Santa Islamica" rivendicò la responsabilità per l'attacco.

L'attacco
L'attentatore suicida era il ventenne Nidal Shaduf, di un villaggio vicino a Jenin. Dopo essersi infiltrato in Israele, entrò a Binyamina. Venne teorizzato che avesse intenzione di farsi saltare in aria all'interno della stazione ferroviaria affollata, ma che avrebbe scoperto che non poteva entrare a causa della forte presenza della polizia e delle rigorose misure di sicurezza. Di conseguenza, si fece esplodere alla fermata dell'autobus di alcuni soldati vicino alla stazione ferroviaria, aspettando che iniziasse a riempirsi di gente prima di esplodere.

L'attentatore suicida si fece esplodere alle 19:35. Due soldati delle forze di difesa israeliane (IDF) furono uccisi e 11 persone rimasero ferite, due delle quali gravemente.

Vittime

 Sergente maggiore Avi Ben-Harush, 20 anni, di Zikhron Ya'aqov;
 Caporale Hanit Arami, 19 anni, di Zikhron Ya'aqov.

Conseguenze
Le forze di sicurezza israeliane bloccarono immediatamente tutto il traffico ferroviario tra Tel Aviv e Haifa. La polizia israeliana allestì un rastrellamento per catturare un veicolo che era stato visto far scendere il bombardiere, utilizzando auto di pattuglia, forze speciali ed elicotteri, ma senza successo. Diversi palestinesi presenti illegalmente in Israele furono arrestati nell'area e presi in custodia.

L'IDF rispose attaccando, principalmente con il fuoco di carri armati, le installazioni di sicurezza dell'Autorità Palestinese e le posizioni della Forza 17. Elicotteri israeliani colpirono anche una casa a Betlemme appartenente a militanti di Fatah, uccidendone 4.

What Older Adults Should Know About Statins
Written by Shawn Radcliffe on August 5, 2019
When deciding to start or stop statin therapy, older adults need to weigh the benefits and risks of this cholesterol-lowering medication.
A new study looked at the benefits and risks for people over 75 who take statins. Getty Images
Doctors recommend cholesterol-lowering statin drugs for many people who are healthy but who have a higher risk for cardiovascular disease.
But, much of the evidence for this is based on clinical studies done in people under age 75.
For older adults it's been less clear if the benefits of statins, which include preventing heart attacks and strokes, actually outweigh the risks of the medication, which include muscle and cognitive problems.
But now a new study has shed light on the benefits and risks of people over 75 taking this medication. It found that older adults who stopped taking statins had a higher chance of developing heart or blood vessel problems.
Some experts point to this as support for continued use of statin therapy after age 75, but others advise caution.
Cardiovascular problems after stopping statin
The study, which was published July 30 in the European Heart Journal, included health insurance claims information on more than 120,000 people in France who were 75 years old between 2012 and 2014.
Researchers included only older adults who had been taking a statin medication for at least two years. During the study period, more than 17,000 people stopped their statin therapy, but almost half of them resumed before the end of the study.
Older adults who stopped taking statin medication had a 33 percent increased risk for being admitted to the hospital for a heart or blood vessel problem during the follow-up period, which was 2.4 years on average.
Dr. Guy L. Mintz, director of cardiovascular health and lipidology at Northwell Health's Sandra Atlas Bass Heart Hospital in Manhasset, New York, says the study reinforces that older adults shouldn't stop taking their statin just because they reach the "magic age" of 75.
"This is an important study because it highlights the importance of statin therapy for older adults," said Mintz, who wasn't involved in the study. "Statins don't just lower cholesterol. They also stabilize cholesterol plaque and reduce inflammation."
Dr. Teresa Amato, chair of emergency medicine at Long Island Jewish Forest Hills in Queens, New York, points out that because the study was observational — where a group is observed as opposed to a randomized clinical trial, where one group may be given a different treatment — the results should be viewed with caution.
"While the data looks like it would suggest that physicians recommend that older people remain on statin medication, we should wait before making that a conclusive recommendation," Amato said.
The results of previous randomized clinical trials is also mixed. One study found that statin therapy reduced the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack. Another found that taking a statin reduced the risk of heart attack and stroke, but not the risk of dying.
Statins also have potential side effects for older adults, such as muscle pain or weakness, which can contribute to frailty.
"And there's an association for increased cognitive dysfunction in older people who take statins," Amato said. "These side effects could lead to falls, injuries, and hospitalizations."
She says right now there's no clear-cut answer for at what age the risks of statins outweigh the benefits.
Should you stop taking a statin?
Although only a handful of studies have looked at the benefits of statins for older adults, Mintz says current guidelines for cholesterol management don't say people should stop taking a statin just because they turn 75.
The 2018 American College of Cardiology and American Heart Association guidelines offer recommendations for statin therapy in people over 75 years old.
Among older adults without cardiovascular disease, those with LDL (bad) cholesterol of 70 to 189 mg/dL may benefit from starting a moderate-intensity statin, according to the guidelines.
"Moderate-dose statin therapy is recommended to start because of a lower incidence of side effects in older people," Mintz said. The dose can be increased for people with a higher risk for developing cardiovascular disease.
However, there are times when the risks of statin therapy may outweigh the benefits.
"The guidelines also state that if an elderly person is frail — with significant mental and physical deterioration — discontinuing statin therapy may be reasonable," Mintz said.
He suggests that older adults talk to their doctor so they can understand why the use of statins is important, as well as potential side effects.
This includes looking at their risk factors for heart attack and stroke, such as kidney disease, diabetes, peripheral vascular disease, and inflammation.
A doctor may also recommend a coronary calcium scan. This test measures certain types of plaques inside the arteries of the heart.
Although the new study provides support for the use of statins in older adults, it isn't the final answer.
"While many are using this article to claim that statins in people over 75 are completely beneficial, more studies are needed before a conclusion can be made," Amato said.
But for some people, after consulting with their doctor, taking statins may be the right choice for them.
"My oldest patient is 100 years old, had coronary artery bypass surgery 20 years ago, remains on statin therapy, and still sings in the church choir," Mintz said.

A recent study shows that half of people prescribed a statin to manage high cholesterol failed to reach treatment targets after two years.

Firmoo Glasses and Make Up For Ever Artist Shadow Review! - Filosophie!
Firmoo Glasses and Make Up For Ever Artist Shadow Review!
I have two loves that I see day to day, fashion and makeup. Today, I'm writing a post combing the two!
I know you guys have seen or at least heard of them. I've used them before (they have first pair free or 50% off for first time customers) and got these beautiful pair of turquoise and yellow glasses. However, they didn't feel comfortable to wear, I suspect this is because of my prescription. I did contact customer service who was very helpful, they asked for a photo of the prescription to verify and remedy the situation. Unfortunately, I couldn't find my prescription! Oh well.
Fast forward a few months and here I am trying them again. When choosing a pair I thought, do I pick a pair I can easily wear everyday and not have to worry about it? or do I chose a pair that's going to be eye-catching?
ARE THEY NOT GORGEOUS! Let me just tell you how many compliments I've received while wearing these, a lot. I was debating between the purple and green pair but since I already have purple opted for green.
The style is called "Rena" and it comes in black and purple, I can't seem to find the queen pair anymore, seems like they rotate their stock?
Yes, let that sink in TWENTY THREE DOLLARS! Now, the frames don't feel like a million bucks but they look damn good. I do have an everyday pair already, but these are great on days I have to dress subtly because I need something to POP in my attire!
They came with a carrying case with a cute world map pattern on it. The frames are comfortable to wear and Firmoo often has discounts and deals (though they're already inexpensive to begin with). So, if you're in the market for some fashionable and inexpensive frames, check out Firmoo!!
Looking at their current stock there are a few other frames I'd like to get as well. :3 Seriously, people look at glasses, eyes are generally the first thing noticed (did I just make that up?) play 'em up!
Disclaimer: Firmoo sent me these glasses to review, I was not paid or influenced, my opinions are my own and this is an honest review.
It's no secret, at least in real life, that I absolutely love Make Up For Ever. Here is my disclaimer, I work for them but was not paid nor asked to write this.
It retails for C$48 on Sephora aand it's worth it. The first three are easy neutral shades for an everyday look, I use the matte (first) shade to blend my underbone for pretty much every look. You can do day, night, dramatic, skys the limit!
Here is a quick swatch on my arm. I realize I forgot one shadow.. shame since it's a beautiful golden colour. These are swatched with my finger, but no primer and only one swipe except for the light purple shade, which is a diamond shade and it supposed to be more about the sparkle and pizzaz. This is two swipes.
I am filming, or trying to, and used the palette for this look.

Best Choice for: Long turnovers, hyzer-flip tight lines and tailwind drives.
MVP Disc Sports says this about the Wave: The Wave is the second 21.5mm class distance driver to be released. It is best described as a longer Inertia, with a stable-understable flight profile and a power responsiveness that makes it useful across the power spectrum. The Wave is the type of driver that players may bag in two or more weights for shot variety.
For the most powerful throws, long gliding turnovers and hyzerflip gut shots are possible with the Wave. For average powered throws the Wave will simply extend a variety of lines, from anhyzers to hyzerflips to headwind-assisted turnovers. Low powered players will achieve a useable yet fairly overstable flight, considering the power and form requirements of high speed drivers.

Trump's Next Target? Food Stamp Recipients.
by John L. Micek, July 23, 2019
So here's another reminder that the soul of who we are as a nation, our fundamental conception of ourselves as a people, is on the line in the 2020 election.
On Tuesday, the Trump administration announced plans to throw 3 million of the most vulnerable Americans off food stamps, claiming it's a money-saving move.
In the timing almost hilarious in its irony, this news came just hours after the administration and congressional leaders agreed to a budget deal that will boost federal spending by $50 billion in the coming fiscal year.
Given this administration's gold-plated predisposition to the 1 percent (its faux populist posturing notwithstanding), describing this proposed cut as "cruel" and "heartless" doesn't really do it justice.
Congressional Republicans, of course, have long had a hang-up on food stamps. Attempts to eliminate or scale-back the federal Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (as food stamps are formally known) go back years.
In Trump, they now have a sympathetic ear.
But it's not as if we're talking about a real plush program.
"The average monthly benefit currently stands at $134.85 for an individual, which works out to about $4.50 per day or $1.50 per meal," Los Angeles Times columnist Michael Hiltzik wrote this week.
In other words, that's lunch out at McDonald's for our fast-food addicted chief executive. Or it's a single snack, at arena prices, at one of Trump's hockey stadium rallies.
Hiltzik went on to note that, despite what you may have heard, food stamp fraud is "minimal."
"According to the Congressional Research Service, about 5.19 percent of SNAP benefits were overpayments, but only 11 percent of those overpayments resulted from fraud," he wrote. "That places the fraud rate at about 0.57 percent. The rest of the overpayments were due to errors by agencies or recipients."
During a speech to business leaders and policymakers this week, Pennsylvania Human Services Secretary Teresa Miller said one recipient had told her of being hounded and verbally abused in a grocery store parking lot after using her electronic benefits card.
Programs like food stamps are "lifelines" to people who are "already working poverty-level jobs," Miller said during that noon-time speech in the state capital of Harrisburg, where her audience shoveled down a lunch out of reach of most food stamp recipients.
"They're as much there for when our own circumstances change, as they are for the people who are using [the services] now," she continued. "Our investment in these programs goes to all of us."
Pay close attention to what Miller is saying there: These programs are for more than just the poor. Like unemployment, they're there for the rest of us when life throws the inevitable curveball.
And if you think that's not you, you're fooling yourself.
According to the U.S. Federal Reserve's 2018 Survey of Household Economics and Decision Making: 40 percent of Americans would struggle to come up with even $400 to cover an unexpected bill.
That's an astonishing statistic for one of the wealthiest nations on Earth. But it's also a vivid reminder that, as much as we hear about the booming stock market and the low jobless rate, too many Americans are being left behind.
Some of the leading Democratic 2020 candidates - like Sens. Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts and Bernie Sanders of Vermont - have made economic justice the cornerstones of their campaigns.
Those who oppose Trump and his policies already know that pushing back against, and defeating, the racist and xenophobic bile that is clearly a trait, not a tic, of this administration is the critical.
But the coming election is also about making sure that America passes what the late Hubert Humphrey called the "moral test" of government: how it treats those in the dawn, twilight, and shadows of life.
Trump's White House has already proven that it's all-too-willing to cast both the strangers in our land, and those without the means to defend themselves, into the darkness.
It's up to progressives to shine a light on this callous behavior so that the mass of voters can look clearly upon it, and say, in no uncertain terms, that this isn't the kind of country that we want to be now, nor the one that we want to hand to our children and grandchildren.
It's a moral test that we cannot afford to fail.

Japanese Grand Prix Cancelled
Posted by Leon Osamor on August 19, 2021
On Wednesday, Formula 1 confirmed that the Japanese Grand Prix, scheduled to hold in October, has been cancelled. This is coming after rising cases of COVID-19 in the country. For the second straight year, the Japanese GP has been cancelled. In 2020, it had to be called off due to the pandemic. Japan now joins venues like Canada and Australia that have cancelled races this season.
According to F1, the decision to cancel the race was taken by the Japanese Government. Already, some places in Japan are currently on lockdown. The rising COVID-19 cases almost put the recently concluded Tokyo 2020 Olympics under doubt as many feared it would be cancelled.
The original F1 calendar for 2021 included 23 races, out of which 11 have been done. F1 had earlier stated that they were willing to be flexible to adapt to situations such as this where races would have to be cancelled due to covid. So far, except for some cancelled races, the season has been smooth and F1 has stepped up to the challenge of making sure that everyone was safe.
This means that of the remaining 12 races of the 2021 season, only 10 are still on track as two, Japanese and Australian GP, has been cancelled. F1 has not announced which track would fill in for the Japanese GP, although they revealed that they were working on a revised calendar and details would be released soon.
This may not be the last race that would be cancelled for this season. COVID-19 is proving very challenging as it could force a race to be cancelled after everything has been put in place. All it takes is for the location to start recording a high number of daily cases and the plug would be pulled on that race. But nothing beyond the ordinary has happened so far.
Formula 1 returns on August 29 with the Belgian GP, which is the first race in a triple-header as it would be followed by the Dutch and the Italian GP.

Vandy Vape Govad RTA Review - Daily Vaping Deals & The Best Vape Product Reviews at Vaping Cheap!
Vandy Vape is a relatively new company in the vape industry, but has made a huge impact with their short time they've been releasing products. Some of the products they've recently released include the Vandy Vape iCon RDA, which is a collaboration with popular YouTuber Mike Vapes, the Govad RDA, Kylin RTA and more. With how popular single coil RTAs have become, it was only a matter of time before Vandy Vape released their own, the Govad RTA. How does this RTA compare to the rest? We'll find out in this review!
Before getting any further, I would like to thank Vandy Vape for sending this atomizer out our way for the purposes of this review. I will go over my first impressions, building and wicking, performance, pros and cons and conclude with whether or not I recommend the new Govad RTA!
Check Out Vandy Vape Here! Purchase Here!
The Vandy Vape Govad RTA comes in a packaging relatively similar to most of their atomizers, which is not a bad thing whatsoever. The packaging we received is the sample version, so the final may packaging may differ. Once you slide open the box, you're immediately greeted with the Govad RTA, a spare glass tank section and an extra 810 wide bore delrin drip tip. This RTA does come pre-installed with an Ultem 810 drip tip, and the insert which reduces the e-liquid capacity to 2ml, which is for TPD compliance.
Included with this RTA you also receive a 510 drip tip adapter, different color spare o-rings, spare parts, the infamous mini blue screwdriver, and a spare 510 pin. All of the included extras is a huge pro in my opinion, as they do provide you with a lot of extras for the money. Also, the 510 drip tip adapter allows you to use your favorite 510 drip tips, which is another big pro in my opinion.
My first impressions of the Govad RTA was that it's pretty much the perfect size for a 24mm RTA. It's not too large nor is it too small. As mentioned previously, it has a 2ml e-liquid capacity with the tank capacity reducer, but once you do take it out, you have a 4ml e-liquid capacity. I think the tank capacity reducer is a great idea, and is definitely unique as most atomizers come with a smaller tank and larger tank section.
The color received was stainless steel, but there are tons of other color options available such as Black, Gold and Rainbow. The stainless steel and Ultem drip tip looks great together, and even if you didn't like that drip tip, they do provide you with a black delrin 810 drip tip. When it comes to drip tip options, this tank has got you covered!
Even though the base diameter is about 24mm, it does bulge out to about 26mm. Some vapers may not like this design, but I do like this look. It kind of reminds me of the Pharaoh RTA, but not as noticeable to be honest. This tank simply looks great, and the design is well thought out.
The Govad RTA does feature a top fill design, and the top fill section does have some knurling on it, so it makes taking it off very easy. The top fill holes are pretty large, so you can easily fit any type of e-liquid bottle with no issues. What's unique about this RTA is that the juice flow control and airflow control are kind of connected, so when you close the juice flow control, it closes the airflow as well. More on this specifically later.
The juice flow holes are fairly large, so I wasn't worried about higher VG e-liquids with this tank. In addition, there is a good amount of restriction when turning the juice flow control. This is a pro for sure, as some RTAs have very loose juice flow control systems, and can be accidentally moved while vaping. The same can be said about the airflow control as well.
Something worth mentioning is that this atomizer came clean with zero machine oil! This is another huge pro to us at Vaping Cheap, as we do hate when atomizers come drenched in machine oil. One wash with warm water, and this RTA was good to go!
Overall, my first impressions of the Vandy Vape Govad RTA were great! I had zero cons upon opening up the packaging! I was definitely excited to see how this RTA vapes! However, we'll first get into building and wicking.
Like the Govad RDA, this atomizer features a clamp styled build deck. In addition, this RTA is designed for single coil, which is great to see as there's tons of dual coil RTAs on the market and not as many single coil RTAs. The clamps are spring loaded, so it makes coil installs even easier! To install your coil, simply unscrew the post screws so that your clamp is raised high enough to fit your desired build.
Be sure when you are wrapping your coil that the leads are facing opposite directions. Once this is done, simply insert your coil build, and tighten down your coil build. Now, this is the important part. Make sure that you cut the excess leads flush to the build deck. Not doing so can cause a short, which is something you surely want to avoid. There is a tiny bit of room you can get away with, but you rather be safe than sorry and cut the leads flush.
Also, when you are installing your coil, make sure your coil is right on top of the bottom airflow, but raised a bit so that the side airflow channels are hitting the side of the coil. This ensures the best performance from my experience.
The Govad RTA does have a pretty spacious build deck, so you can fit most of your exotic coil builds such as Fused Clapton, Staggered Fused Clapton, Alien and more. My preferred coil build for this RTA was a single Fused Clapton with 26GA NiChrome 80 for the inner cores and wrapped with 36GA NiChrome 80. The resistance of this specific coil was around 0.4 ohm.
Wicking this RTA is pretty straightforward as well. It does have wicking channels, making it a bit easier for you, but you can easily run into some issues if done incorrectly. I do recommend to simply lay your cotton into the wicking channel, and make sure it's fluffy and can move around in the channel itself.
Stuffing cotton will result in some dry hits, so this is something I do not recommend. In addition, if you have too little wick then you will get leaking. However, once you cover up the entire wicking channel and your cotton is just laying in the channel, you'll be good to go! It really is easy, especially if you're an advanced user. I don't think beginners will have much issues either.
Overall, building and wicking the Vandy Vape Govad RTA is pretty easy and it really doesn't take that long to get a coil in and wicked. The entire process can literally take me less than 7 minutes, which is great.
Now the biggest question of this entire review is probably how does the Govad RTA perform? Well, I can easily say this tank has excellent performance! As mentioned previously, my preferred coil build was a single Fused Clapton which had a resistance of about 0.4 ohm. I did try other builds such as Stainless Steel Fused Claptons, which worked perfectly as well. However, normal round wire builds don't perform as well. I think this RTA is much suited towards your larger coil builds.
This RTA has tons of airflow! This RTA does have "3 Dimensional Airflow", so you have airflow hitting under the coil and the side of the coil. I do like this type of airflow, and it does work quite well in this atomizer. With the airflow wide open, there is hardly any restriction whatsoever, and it does hinder the flavor a bit. However, when you close the airflow just about half way the flavor increases tremendously, and it does add some restriction, which is my preferred way to vape. You can close the airflow fully if you'd like as well. If you like tons of airflow, then you'll love this RTA wide open.
As mentioned in the first impressions, the juice flow control and airflow control is kind of connected. So when you close the juice flow control, you also close the airflow control. This didn't always work for me, as I'll close the juice flow control and the airflow would close off only half way. This really didn't bother me much since I didn't experience any leaking even when filling with the juice flow control open. Also, I experienced no seeping from underneath the atomizer either. Not to mention, filling this tank is easy due to it's knurled design, and quick since it has large fill ports.
The flavor on this RTA is very good, especially when you close off the airflow a bit. The vapor production is also excellent! When you have the airflow wide open, you'll definitely be able to cloud chase with this tank. Honestly, I was quite surprised by how much vapor can be produced with a single coil and I was certainly impressed. The included drip tip is comfortable to use, and I found myself using the Ultem 810 drip tip more than the Delrin or 510 drip tip adapter.
When chain vaping, the Govad RTA had no issues keeping up. Remember, wicking is key with any RTA, so once you wick this atomizer correctly, you'll experience nothing but excellent flavor and plumes of vapor! Something else worth mentioning is that I had no issues with high VG e-liquids.
All in all, the performance of this RTA was stellar! I literally had no issues with this atomizer when it came to performance.
In conclusion, the Vandy Vape Govad RTA is an excellent performing RTA, and honestly it was hard to find any cons with it. The con of the flavor being a bit muted can easily be solved by closing off the airflow a bit. The fact that it's a single coil only RTA is not necessarily a con since vapers will know this fact before making the purchase.
The spring loaded clamp styled deck makes coil installs incredibly easy, and wicking is not difficult either. Once you don't clog the wicking channel with cotton, and you have just enough to completely cover the channel, you're good to go with this RTA. In addition, the flavor and vapor production is top notch, especially when considering it's single coil atomizer. I had zero issues with leaking, and it wicked like a champ even with high VG e-liquids.
All in all, the Govad RTA is a solid piece of vape hardware that includes a ton of extras. They've covered pretty much everything with this RTA, and single coil loves will absolutely enjoy it's performance. If you're a vaper who loves globs of airflow, then this is something definitely taking a look at as well! With that being said, I can easily recommend the Govad RTA by Vandy Vape!


It's easy to be stylish when you have the right tools. A tailored suit, smart shoes and a tie collection to rival Trump's. It's hard to go wrong, although you can always go a little extra. There's a wealth of small accessories men can wear to dress their look up even more, you just need a little time to go hunting and know how to use your imagination. Here are a few thought-starters.
A tie bar is one of the menswear staples. Not only does it serve its practical function by fastening a tie in place, it's a decorative piece without being too ostentatious. Depending on tastes, silver or gold are popular choices, whether plated or fine jewellery. Tie bars can be bejewelled or left plain, enamelled in bright colours, or engraved or cast. It's said it must be worn between the third and fourth buttons of your shirt, securing both ends of the tie. Avoid the faux-pas of wearing it wider than your tie.
Requiring a little more planning (you'll need the right shirt), a collar pin holds the two ends of a dress shirt collar together and passes underneath the knot of a necktie. In effect this serves to lift the tie, offering an aesthetically pleasing arc. Even though tie pins have, in more recent times, been reserved for more formal occasions, it can also be used to gain a style edge for your business wear.
Lapel pins are a fun touch to your regalia and make for an interesting talking point. There are all sorts available from the contemporary, to antique to the downright whacky. Men's accessory designers have cropped up recently with the renewed interest in dressing well. Build your collection to have a range of shapes or insignia, a vintage piece from the previous two centuries or for something a little on the wild side, a copper rabbit's foot!
You can't go wrong with cufflinks, and a man can have twice the amount as his shirt collection without being excessive. Build your artillery with a range of colours and shapes that are complementary to your wardrobe. A combination of metal and enamel styles will help you mix and match with different coloured shirts and ties and provide an interesting contrast to your suits. And it's easy to travel with several pairs if you spend a lot of time on the road.
Likewise pocket squares, the old favourite of the man on the go. You can wear a suit a million ways with different tie-and-square combinations. They're lightweight, lie flat, look elegant and press easily on the hotel ironing board. Keep a few in your office drawer if you have to pull an all-nighter and no one will suspect a thing. We have them in the showroom for you to try for yourself.

Q: Why is the integrating factor for this equation not an exponential function? MIT Open CourseWare 18.03 Spring 10 Exercises 1B-2 c)
My Question: What is the logic and method by which the correct integrating factor was found? I found an exponential function that is not the correct integrating factor.
Find and integrating factor and solve:
$ (t^2 + 4) dt + t dx = x dt $
I put this ODE in form:
$ x -t(\frac{dx}{dt}) = t^2 + 4 $
and found an integrating factor $ e^{-2t^2} $
The solution manual has an integrating factor $ \frac1{t^2} $
What is the process by which this integrating factor was found? I do not understand the algebra. The solutions are at this URL:

A: You want a coefficient of $1$ on the derivative. So your ODE should instead look like $\frac{dx}{dt}-\frac{1}{t}x=-t-4/t$. Then your integrating factor would be $e^{-\ln(t)}=1/t$; that converts the equation into $\frac{d}{dt}(x/t)=-1-4/t^2$.
I don't really understand the integrating factor of $1/t^2$ here.

A: As pointed out by @Ian, the coefficient of the derivative should be 1. Moreover, integrating factor is $ e^{\int (coefficient\space of \space x) dt} $ which is $\frac {1}{t}$ in this case.$\frac{1}{t^2} $ must be a typo.

A: Have a look at Crouton. You can apply styles to it, i.e. make it round popup with text.

Richard Ashcroft Naked
by Laurie Parker October 19th, 2002
Has anyone else noticed the nudie-emperor-ness of Richard Ashcroft's new single, "Check the Meaning?"
Maybe he was one of the kings of indie rock, maybe he wrote a brilliant album back in the day that broke new ground and inspired a generation of musicians and music lovers alike... but that's no reason to allow him to clog the airwave arteries with mindless pasty bollocks songs. "Check the Meaning" is utter, utter gash. It's a lazy pathetic attempt at "songwriting:" 5-minute 3-chord boringness while he blathers on and on in a monotone about tired old adages that are supposed to sound "deep." Such as the line: "blah blah Allah, Buddha, Jesus Christ, knocking down my door..." And "I got my mind meditating on love"; maybe you should check the meaning of what you're attempting to say with that one, Mr. A. Or can you not be bothered, because you're really not putting much effort into saying much at all, are you?
Watching him big himself up in his sunglasses on TOTP makes me shake my fist and yell, "Rubbish!!" at the television, like some backbench MP in the House of Commons. It's ridiculous how sycophantic the pop world has become these days, with everyone just gushing about how brilliant this or that artist is, and how amazing their "new hit single" is. Maybe it's a product of all the popstars/popidol shows, and all the encouragement the dumbass judges give to people who are, in all honesty, shit singers and lame performers. It's now stretching, creeping, seeping into the world of the already-popstars and their needs to keep themselves in mansions and Rolex watches... Oh wait: it's always been like that.
Bah!!!
