Gender Neutral Alternative to Sir Or Ma'am
Published December 9, 2022 | By Bob J
Using gender neutral pronouns can be an effective way to avoid being misinterpreted or misunderstood by others. In fact, a number of people have turned to using non-gendered or non-binary pronouns in place of the gendered pronouns sir and ma am in order to avoid being viewed as racist, sexist, or otherwise offensive. However, while these pronouns can be helpful, there are still some pitfalls to be aware of.
Among non-binary individuals, Mx is a preferred honorific. It was introduced in the early twentieth century as a gender-neutral alternative to Sir, Madam, and Mrs. It is used by a third of non-binary individuals. In fact, a survey of 11,000 non-binary people found that almost a third prefer no honorific at all.
The term "Mx" was first seen in print in the 1977 issue of Single Parent magazine in the U.S. The title first gained popularity in the trans community at the turn of the century.
Mx is now recognized in several countries. It is used in formal business settings and in written correspondence. It is included on government agency forms and bank forms. It is also included on applications to important businesses.
The origin of the title can be traced to the early Middle English word mistrum, which means scant or poor. In Early Middle English, the word is also used to refer to the neuter ending of a word.
Using a gender neutral title to refer to someone is not uncommon. However, using the wrong gender can be offensive to those you're talking to. It's also important to remember that most of us don't have the gender knowledge needed to determine what is appropriate.
For example, referring to an undergraduate student as "Ms." is sexist. However, referring to them as "Dr." is a great gender neutral alternative. However, referring to them as "Mr." can make them look strange.
Using a neutral title for a crowd is also a good idea. "Distinguished guests" is a great title to use to refer to a crowd. It is also a gender neutral alternative to "Ma'am".
Another gender-neutral title is Mx. It is an honorific that is pronounced "m@x." It is a gender neutral form of Mr. It has been recognized as a gender neutral title by several associations. This title has been used in several countries and is currently legal. However, it is primarily used in the U.K.
Whether you are looking for a gender neutral alternative to Sir or Ma'am, there are some options for you. These alternatives are a much better choice than using "sir" or "ma'am". There are a number of nonbinary honorifics that you can choose from. However, it's important to discuss your options with your colleagues and employers before making your final decision.
One popular nonbinary honorific is Mx. Mx is an honorific that can be used as a replacement for Sir or Ma'am. The name is derived from the Latin word "mixed" and is pronounced as "mux". While it does not have the same exact sound as Sir, it is the most commonly used honorific among nonbinary people.
Other nonbinary honorifics include M, Mr., Rev., Dr., Ind., and Mre. All of these honorifics can be used in place of Sir or Ma'am. However, they are not considered to be accepted by most businesses. However, you can always use the Deed Poll to change your title at no cost.
Non-gendered or nonbinary pronouns
Choosing non-gendered or nonbinary pronouns as an alternative to sir or ma am is a good way to show respect to other people. It's not a fad. You can use these pronouns in many areas of your life. It's important to know how to use them properly.
The best way to avoid misgendering is to use the correct pronouns for the person you're talking to. If you don't know the correct pronouns for a person, ask them what their preferred pronouns are. You might not always get the pronouns right, but you should try.
Using the wrong pronouns can be offensive and disrespectful. You should gently correct the person you're misgendering. You should also hold yourself accountable for using the correct pronouns.
There are also gender-neutral terms of address, which are great. You can use "distinguished guests" instead of "Sir" or "Ma'am." There is also "hello everyone," which is used by the Transport for London when they announce the Tube's stop.

Get your picnic baskets ready! Enjoy ARTFEEL on Jan 29th.
Read more about it here
Did you know The Woodlands has one of the largest collections of public art in the country?
No, me either!
There are 70 public artworks peppered around The Woodlands' villages (20 of which are The Woodlands Waterway Art Bench Collection). This is an amazing fact, but we all lead busy lives. If we are honest, we can admit that as we drive by massive artworks on our way to work or the grocery store, we may look at them, but do we really see them? And this begs a very important question….if an artist makes a piece of art and no one really sees it, no one really engages with it…is it art?
ARTFEEL, a TWAC "Because Art Matters" community arts appreciation initiative, aims to fix that by encouraging resident engagement with public art in The Woodlands.
To read all about The Woodlands Arts Council Public Art initiative click here!
What is ARTFEEL?
Every 3 months on Market Street's Central Park Outdoor Stage, TWAC spotlights a piece of public art and ask area residents to brave the stage and share how a particular public artwork makes them feel – their ARTFEEL. Some people sing, some dance, some play instruments, some story-tell, some show-and-tell their own art or sentimental objects and some say just one word – the emotion the art has evoked in them. The rules are…there are no rules…and that is the fun!
ARTFEEL is hosted by local arts and culture writer and TWAC volunteer, Nickole Kerner Bobley, who serves as the glue between the performers, recognizing themes as they emerge throughout the night and weaving together a loose narrative for each artwork's story.
TWAC's ARTFEEL is joined by altruistic partners: Market Street's Sarah Kelly Music School and Sweekman Artists, who provide incredible live musical talent for the show; The Luxe Collective, who generously provide discounted glasses of wine and bottles for sale before, during and after the show with a portion of the proceeds donated back to TWAC; and, Market Street, who kindly donates the beautiful stage venue and audio and lighting services.
Residents bring chairs, blankets and picnic while celebrating art together under the stars at ARTFEEL. We also invite local art groups to set up tents and showcase their wares and chat up their upcoming art events.
ORIGIN OF ARTFEEL
Nickole Kerner Bobley
Several years ago, Kerner Bobley was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Sjogren's Syndrome. Step-by-step, she used a walking cane to walk The Woodlands Waterway Art Benches as a private "healing art crawl" for herself. She also kept a journal about how the different artworks she encountered made her feel. After many weeks, she finally reached the final art bench in the then 14-member collection. At this point, she no longer needed a cane. It was an emotional turning point in her medical treatment and in the relationship she had forged with public art. It was here the idea for ARTFEEL was born.

2BR 2BA Saint Germain (rue de Tournon) Se luksus Ac !!!
Denne 80 kvadratmeter (861 kvadratfod) to-værelses to-badeværelse lejlighed er beliggende i en charmerende og nyrenoveret fem-etagers byhus, få skridt fra Saint-Sulpice, Saint Germain des Prés, og den dejlige Jardin de Luxembourg. Huset er fundet på en af de mest prestigefyldte adresser i Paris - den elegante, rolige, brede og meget sikker Rue de Tournon (også hjemsted for det franske senat og Garde Républicaine). Der er kun to boligenheder på de øverste etager af denne bygning, og begge tilhører samme ejer. De nederste etager er besat af en diskret kunstgalleri kun åben efter aftale.
Denne lejlighed blev fuldt renoveret for nylig af en indretningsarkitekt med de fineste materialer og finish, herunder en top på den linje lavet efter mål køkken med Lacanche komfur, granit bordplader, antik eg og skifer gulve, fritliggende træbjælker, brugerdefinerede træ bibliotek, og luksuriøse badeværelser færdig i travertin, antikke teak gulve, tumlede marmor fliser, og med Horus vandhaner. Der er aircondition i alle værelser.
Denne enhed ansigter fuld vest og stuen er oversvømmet med solskin hele eftermiddagen indtil solnedgang (som forekommer omkring 10 pm i sommeren!) Værelserne er rolige og står over for en indre gårdhave.
Det kan sove op til 5 personer (herunder en sovesofa til én person). Bemærk, at det andet soveværelse og badeværelse har en separat indgang på den samme landing, som du kan se på nedenstående plantegning.
• Centralvarme (vandvarme) til dem, der foretrækker traditionelle franske "radiatorer"
Denne lejlighed er ideelt beliggende midt i det bedste, den venstre bred har at byde på! Rue de Tournon er en fortsættelse af den meget centrale Rue de Seine, som løber gennem hjertet af St. Germain des Pres. De nærmeste metrostationer er Odeon og Mabillon, begge som er en 2-3 minutters gang fra lejligheden. Den smukke Jardin de Luxembourg er et minuts gang væk fra lejligheden, som er den Eglise Saint-Sulpice. Carrefour de L'Odeon er en to minutters gang væk, og lidt længere (fem minutter til fods) er Eglise Saint Germain og Café de Flore.
Rue de Tournon er en af de smukkeste gader i Paris, også hjemsted for det franske senat, det Garde Republicaine og Bonpoint butikken! Vi er et skridt væk fra den dejlige Jardin de Luxembourg, hvor du kan gå, jogge eller bringe dine børn på legepladsen.
Everything was fantastic! Thanks all!
No better area to stay while in Paris, and this home is a real treat.
Four of us, two adults and two teens, stayed here for a week while we visited Paris. I had no foreknowledge of which areas of Paris would be best to stay in, which is why lady luck was shining on us when I chose this property. Our first day of the visit we were met by our tour guide, who asked us who we knew that lived in this area. Soon we realized why we were asked that question. This property is in a quiet, safe, exclusive part of Paris, with the most elegant shopping and cafe's in the city just minutes away. We walked nearly everywhere and loved every minute of it.
As for the home itself, you'll love it. There are two separate bedrooms, great for our kids who wanted privacy, and a very comfortable living room. We watched Midnight in Paris on our first night there, all sitting on the couch, eating the cheese and baguettes that we purchased at the market, and I must say it was terrific. The WiFi is fast, and Choi, the man that tends to the flat, is great. He and his wife Amy would come each day while we were out and do light cleaning, and they were always there for us if we needed help or had a question.
Ludovic, the owner, is truly a great property owner. Communications were always fast, and he sincerely worked hard to help make our stay wonderful.
You cannot go wrong staying here if you are visiting Paris. We will surely return, as the flat was a wonderful part of our Paris memories.
Great location in a quiet neighborhood but close to everything.
Good to have air conditioning. Neither the dishwasher nor the television worked. Overall a very good apartment to rent!
My family (of 5) enjoyed our stay at this apartment. The owner (Ludovic) was very responsive during the process. We had assistance available to us as needed (Choi) who was very knowledgeable and helpful. It is comfortable and the location is close to grocery stores and many amazing restaurants. We felt very safe in this neighborhood. The stairs were a bit bothersome with all of our luggage but a nice way to exercise. We had a great visit and enjoyed our stay.
Beautiful, quaint Parisian home in a fantastic location.
We had a great stay. We stayed for 4 nights with our two children and LOVED the location and feel of the apartment. The split bedrooms worked with one adult and one child in each. The neighborhood is quiet, prestigious, charming and the huge Windows that opened all throughout were incredible. We are so happy to not have chosen a hotel, and chosen the st Germain, Luxembourg location. The bedrooms are small, as typical in Europe, but the kids loved opening up the interior windows above the open courtyard and talking to each other across the space.
Tennis og legeplads fundet i Jardin de Luxembourg, Svømmebassin til rådighed i Marche St Germain.

J.T. finds Steve Earle & The Dukes covering 10 of Justin'ssongs – from "I Don't Care," which appeared on his 2007 debut EP, Yuma, and a trio of selections from his full-length debut album, The Good Life ("Ain't Glad I'm Leaving," "Far Away In Another Town" and "Lone Pine Hill") to later compositions like 2017's "Champagne Corolla"and 2019's "The Saint Of Lost Causes," which was the title track of Justin's eighth and final studio album. J.T. closes with "Last Words,"a song Steve wrote for Justin. See below for track listing.
Penning Justin's obituary for The New York Times, Ben Sisario noted,"from the start Mr. Earle drew the respect of critics and a…devoted following, writing songs of heartbreak, loss and family with a dark narrative undertow and a sepia-toned folk-rock style that could hark back to Mr. [Townes] Van Zandt or Hank Williams."
100% of the artist advances and royalties from J.T. will be donated to a trust for Etta St. James Earle, the three-year-old daughter of Justin and Jenn Earle. While somber in parts, the album is ultimately a rousing celebration of a life lived with passion and purpose.The recording features the latest incarnation of Steve's backing band, The Dukes – Chris Masterson on guitar, Eleanor Whitmore on fiddle & vocals, Ricky Ray Jackson on pedal steel, guitar & dobro, Brad Pemberton on drums & percussion, and Jeff Hill on acoustic & electric bass.
On December 13, Steve Earle, Luck Productions and City Winery will host the 6thAnnual John Henry's Friends Benefit Concert for Autism. This year's event will be a virtual one, featuring performances by Steve Earle & The Dukes, Emmylou Harris, Graham Nash, Jackson Browne, Lucinda Williams, Jason Isbell & Amanda Shires, and many more. 100% of donations will go to The Keswell School– an institution close to Earle's heart at which his youngest son and the event's namesake, John Henry, is a student. For further details, please go to luck.stream. The show is by donation.
Steve Earleis one of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters of his generation. A protege of legendary songwriters Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, he quickly became a master storyteller in his own right, with his songs being recorded by Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Joan Baez, Emmylou Harris, The Pretenders, and countless others. 1986 saw the release of his debut record, Guitar Town, which shot to number one on the country charts and is now regarded as a classic of the Americana genre. Subsequent releases like The Revolution Starts...Now (2004), Washington Square Serenade (2007), and TOWNES (2009) received consecutive GRAMMY® Awards. Restlessly creative across artistic disciplines, Earlehas published both a novel and collection of short stories; produced albums for other artists such as Joan Baez and Lucinda Williams and acted in films, television (including David Simon's acclaimed The Wire), and on the stage. He currently hosts a radio show for Sirius XM. In 2009, Earle appeared in the off-Broadway play Samara, for which he also wrote a score that The New York Timesdescribed as "exquisitely subliminal." Recently, Earle wrote music for and appeared in Coal Country, a riveting public theater play that dives into the most-deadly mining disaster in U.S. history. Ghosts of West Virginia, his 20thstudio album, was named as one of "The 50 Best Albums of 2020 So Far" by Rolling Stone. Mr. Earle was recently (Nov 2020) inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame.

You can take your church collection by contactless card this Christmas!
As less and less people carry cash, it's becoming increasingly important for parishes to look at alternative ways to receive donations. There's a new category on the Parish Buying website to help churches consider the different types of contactless machine.


Bruce Sellery says there are several risks to consider before buying a stock; how well funded a company's pension is should be one of them.
Should investors consider a company's pension obligations before buying its stock?
Companies that trade on the public markets face a wide range of risks: economic, political, currency, environmental and market risks, to name a few. All of these risks can put significant pressure on shares. And to your question, pension risk should also be on that list.
Investors look for stocks that they believe are undervalued or growing earnings. Some may also want to buy into companies that distribute a nice juicy dividend, providing income instead of—or in addition to—share price appreciation.
Pension obligations can weigh on a company's financials because, when fully reported, the issue is included as a liability on the balance sheet. There is also the risk that the company might have to use some of its own cash to fill pension gaps, putting that juicy dividend at risk or at the very least impeding the company's ability to invest its cash to grow the business.
The second issue the Rosens flag is low interest rates. Low rates are a problem because they put pressure on a pension fund's ability to grow its assets. And as more retirees start drawing on their pension, the performance of the fund itself becomes more relevant.
It is a lot of work to quantify the risk of pension deficits to specific companies. What you need to look at is the pension expense, less the pension funding to come up with the pension deficit. Then look to see how that deficit is changing over time and put it in the context of the company's market capitalization.
It is a lot of work to assess pension risk, not to mention the many other variables that go into buy and sell decisions on individual stocks. So before you do that work, ask yourself if you are you sure that this level of complexity is right for you and your circumstances? I often talk to investors who are buying individual stocks when they really shouldn't be. Instead they should be working with an awesome financial adviser or buying ETFs to get diversification at low cost.

Striking targets in Syria and threatening to assassinate the leader on the pretext of fighting Iranian influence is a sign that Israel is in "panic" after losing its "dear" terrorist assets, President Bashar Assad told RT.
Over the last couple of months, Israel has intensified its bombing of military infrastructure in Syria, arguing that the Iranian presence in the Arab Republic jeopardizes its own national security. However, Israel's justification for its air strikes based on alleged Iranian assets is a "lie," Assad told RT's Murad Gazdiev in an exclusive interview.
Some Israeli politicians have threatened to "liquidate" Assad and topple his government if Iran continues to operate in Syria and transfer weapons to the Lebanese Hezbollah. The Syrian president, however, has made it clear that he is not afraid of the threat.
"The Israelis have been assassinating, killing, occupying for decades now, for around seven decades, in this region, but usually they do all this without threatening. Now, why do they threaten in this way? This is panic, this is a kind of hysterical feeling because they are losing the 'dear ones,' the dear ones Al-Nusra and ISIS, that's why Israel is panicking recently, and we understand their feeling," Assad said.
Rejecting claims that Syria's air defenses are practically useless against Israeli jets, the 52-year-old Syrian leader said the old Soviet weapons were capable of repelling numerous IAF strikes and the US-led bombardment in April, when the US, Britain, and France fired over 100 cruise missiles at Syria.
"Our air defense is much stronger than before, thanks to the Russian support and the recent attacks by the Israelis and by the Americans and British and French proved that we are in a better situation" than at the start of the civil war seven years ago, he said.
Assad also said that crippling Syria's air defenses was one of the original tactics used by the "mercenaries" at the beginning of the conflict, and that it was never designed to aid the "peaceful demonstrators," but would certainly help in case of a foreign military intervention to depose the government.

Kansas' Morningstar got lucky in Las Vegas
By Tess QuinlanNov 28, 2010, 2:10 PM EST
Brady Morningstar's such a good shooter, even his alley-oops go in the basket.
The Kansas senior spotted teammates Marcus Morris cutting to the basket during the Las Vegas semifinals Friday night against Ohio and chucked the ball toward the rim for an attempted oop. Except it was a little off – and swished instead.
"I mean we just ran this play. It was so wide-open. I wanted to throw it to him quick as I could. I kind of threw it too close to the rim, and it went in," Morningstar told the Lawrence Journal-World.
The Jayahwks won the game 98-41 (and also beat Arizona Saturday night to win the event), which gave KU coach Bill Self a chance to laugh about the play afterward.
"Brady's pass … that was so awful. It was so bad it went in," Self said. Hey, as Boris might say, "Whatever Works."

Environmental Exposures and Child Development
On June 13th, the Environment and Health fund hosted the "Environmental Exposures and Child Development" symposium, featuring Prof. Robert Wright and Prof. Rosalind Wright.
Prof. Robert Wright is the Chair of the Department of Environmental Medicine and Public Health, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York City. His lecture dealt with the hypothesis that the impact of intrauterine exposure to environmental pollutants on childhood obesity may be mediated by alterations in neurodevelopment. He also explored possible biological mechanisms.

Q: Iterate by two using a for loop in Python I'm sorry for something that is a very dumb question. I'm a C programmer so I'm not that used to Python.
How would you write the equivalent for loop into python:
int x;

for(x = 0; x < 10; x+=2) <----- I don't know how to iterate by two in python.

for x in range(10):

How would I change the python code to make it do 0, 2, 4, 6, 8?
Python 2.7 (if that matters)

A: Here you go:
for x in range(0, 10, 2)

A: Just go to the docs for range.  You need to supply it a "step."

range(start, stop[, step])
This is a versatile function to create lists containing arithmetic progressions. It is most often used in for loops. The arguments must
  be plain integers. If the step argument is omitted, it defaults to 1.
  If the start argument is omitted, it defaults to 0. The full form
  returns a list of plain integers [start, start + step, start + 2 *
  step, ...]. If step is positive, the last element is the largest start
  + i * step less than stop; if step is negative, the last element is the smallest start + i * step greater than stop. step must not be zero
  (or else ValueError is raised).

So, use for i in range(0,10,2).
Also, unless you explicitly need the list (you don't), consider using xrange in lieu of range in python 2.x.

Message to NOAA: Time to Prioritize Climate-Ready Fisheries
Posted by Molly Masterton Dec 6, 2022 Climate Change, Commercial Fishing, Featured, Magnuson-Stevens, Policy, Recreational Fishing, Sustainable Seafood, Working Waterfronts 2 Comments
This piece first appeared on NRDC's expert blog and is reprinted with permission. Top photo by John McMurray.
Healthy fish populations are building blocks of a healthy ocean. They support marine ecosystems, including other wildlife like whales and seabirds. They are also engines of our coastal economies and the communities that rely on them, with fisheries in the United States supporting an estimated 1.7 million jobs.
With increasingly acute impacts from climate change, however, it has become more obvious that there will not always be more fish in the sea. This means that a business-as-usual approach to fisheries management will be insufficient.
This National Seafood Month, NRDC is joining partners and members of Congress in calling on NOAA Fisheries to take bold action to scale up "climate-ready" fisheries management approaches.
Our ocean is undergoing rapid transformations, including rising acidity levels, shifting currents, and warming waters, as well as more frequent extreme events like marine heat waves. Faced with these changing environments, fish populations are struggling to adapt. While some are successfully migrating to colder waters, others are dwindling.
According to the Fourth National Climate Assessment (NCA), marine fisheries and fishing communities in the U.S. are at "high risk from climate-driven changes in the distribution, timing, and productivity of fishery-related species." Although impacts will not be uniform across regions or species, and some fish species may come out as "winners" under changing conditions, ocean temperature increases are expected to depress maximum catch potential in all U.S. regions except for the North Pacific under current emissions trends. The already-warm tropical waters of the Hawaiian and Pacific Islands, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico regions could see a decline of 10–47 percent in fish catch potential by 2085. Globally, scientists have projected that current emissions trends could reduce potential global catch by 16-25 percent by the end of the 21st century.
Fish are particularly sensitive to changes in water temperature, and their rapid migration to cooler waters is another stunning trend. OceanAdapt, a great tool developed by Rutgers University scientists, allows us to see shifting distributions of fish stocks over the last five decades.
Substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions remains the first, necessary step to ensuring healthy fisheries and marine ecosystems into the future. Effective fisheries management will also be fundamental. This means preventing overfishing and helping fisheries adapt and be resilient to climate change.
Our federal fisheries law, the Magnuson-Stevens Act (MSA), has helped to recover and safeguard many of our valuable fisheries resources in the United States. However, this law lacks any mention of climate change, and fishery managers' decisions are not keeping up with the unprecedented transformation of our ocean. NRDC has examined these shortfalls, including deep dives into the issues of shifting fish stocks and resilience of fish populations, and provided recommendations for necessary updates to the MSA and fishery management decisions.
The U.S. government, unfortunately, is only just beginning to take these issues seriously. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) recently took a close look at this issue, asking specifically: (1) the extent to which fisheries managers have used climate information; and (2) challenges to enhancing the climate resilience of federal fisheries and opportunities to address challenges. In its final report–Federal Fisheries Management: Opportunities Exist to Enhance Climate Resilience—GAO found that fishery management councils have used climate information only to a limited extent in fishery management. GAO concluded that NOAA Fisheries does not regularly collect or share information about actions that fishery managers are taking to enhance the climate resilience of federal fisheries, and the agency could better share information across regions. To address these gaps, GAO recommends that NOAA Fisheries should work with councils to "identify, prioritize, and plan to implement opportunities to enhance the climate resilience of federal fisheries."
Building on these critical findings, this week nine members of Congress sent a letter to NOAA Fisheries urging the agency to use its full suite of existing authorities and new funding opportunities under the Inflation Reduction Act to scale up climate-ready management of our marine fisheries. The letter was led by Representative Jared Huffman (D-CA), who chairs the House Natural Resources Subcommittee on Water, Oceans, and Wildlife, and joined by several other members representing fishing communities, including Reps. Mary Peltola (D-AK) and Ed Case (D-HI). They make several specific recommendations for how NOAA Fisheries can help fill in the information gaps described in the GAO report and accelerate climate-ready management approaches for on-the-water impact.
We urge NOAA Fisheries to act on the recommendations laid out in this letter, paraphrased below:
Prioritize climate-ready management with explicit climate resilience goals: With the historic passage of the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), Congress has provided critical funds to accelerate our adaptive approaches, including funds intended to help fisheries and coastal communities adapt to climate impacts. NOAA Fisheries should respond with a similarly bold and transformative strategy for adapting our fisheries to climate change, making more explicit that climate-ready management is not the same as business-as-usual management. This could be accomplished through a national resilience strategy, or an agency-wide Administrative Order to operationalize and incentivize the use of climate-ready management approaches across the science centers and regional offices, through to all council meetings and procedures.
Recommit to rebuilding overfished stocks and preventing overfishing: Ecologists recommend that the most important preparation fishery managers can undertake is to ensure that fisheries are well-managed to promote high levels of biomass and genetic diversity. Given this, it is concerning that that 51 stocks are now overfished (over 20 percent), and 26 stocks are subject to overfishing. Further, 9 of the 47 federally managed stocks that have been previously rebuilt are once again in need of rebuilding, and rebuilding has stalled since 2019. NOAA Fisheries should assess opportunities to leverage existing authorities for enhancing fishery resilience, including implementing more precautionary management for stocks that have been identified as particularly vulnerable to climate change.
Invest in the Climate, Ecosystems, and Fisheries Initiative: With the funds made available under the Inflation Reduction Act, NOAA Fisheries should build and support a full-scale implementation of the Climate, Ecosystem and Fisheries Initiative, developing not only longer-term innovative modeling solutions but also establishing, in the near-term, the decision support tools and management teams that will meet the needs identified by the GAO in helping fishery managers understand and implement management approaches that will increase fishery resilience and adapt to climate impacts.
Significantly increase technical guidance and assistance to support implementation of climate-ready approaches: While a variety of approaches are being tested in various regions, there is no centralized guidance, nor is there a hub of information distribution, best-practices sharing, or technical support for fishermen, regions, and councils. Even for managers and other actors with a clear interest in climate-ready management, it can be challenging to keep track of the different management approaches that could be taken to adapt the system and increase fishery resilience. This issue was specifically highlighted by the GAO as an opportunity for NOAA Fisheries to facilitate knowledge-sharing between the agency and the councils. NOAA Fisheries should also provide assistance and incentives to facilitate the incorporation of climate science into the management process.
These solutions also have a key role to play in the Biden Administration's upcoming Ocean Climate Action Plan. These pathways to climate-ready fisheries are also included in a detailed blueprint of recommendations for Ocean Climate Action that was supported by over 90 organizations and businesses nationwide. (See the full Blueprint for Ocean Climate Action here.)
Considering the climate threats that our fisheries are up against, it's clear that maintaining the status quo isn't an option. Fisheries managers need to help fishing communities keep up with the rapid changes they are already witnessing on the water. Taken together, these recommendations are an opportunity for NOAA Fisheries to give fishery managers and fishing communities actionable information and management tools they sorely need to ensure sustainable fisheries into the future.

As a professional fishing guide and an avid fisherman for over 40 year, I am all for any kind of conservation for our fisheries. I have personally seen a decline in the Galveston Bays over the past 10-15 years and it worries me. There is so much pressure on our fisheries and we had a 5-6 year span of fresh water events that have killed our oyster reefs.
Climate weather you name it, whatever can be done to help our future fisheries that doesn't negatively effect our rights is good for me. Great article.

About "From the Waterfront"
Fishing is a rich part of our American tradition. Fisheries policy and management can be highly technical, but at the heart of it lies stories of the men and women who make a living off of the last wild places, or who connect with nature, families, and communities through fishing recreationally and eating the bounties of the ocean. The Marine Fish Conservation Network is committed to ensuring that wild ocean fisheries are as much a part of our nation's future as they are of its past.
"From the Waterfront" shares stories of our fishing past, present, and future to demonstrate the invaluable role that healthy, well-managed fisheries play our American fishing tradition.


It's been over a month since our latest update, and we our stoked to release GigTown 2.1. We did a ton of spring cleaning in this update to make things faster, cleaner and even easier to use. Hope you like it!

Hydraulic engineers and designers have long been facing uncertainty over the future of hydraulic power in an increasingly electrified world. The replacement of hydraulics with electrical actuators and components in vehicles especially has caused unease over whether hydraulics truly has a place in effecting motion as technology marches forward. With the introduction of the Internet of Things (IoT), a truly connected network of equipment, household appliances and even lighting or heating systems, hydraulic power seems outdated, and likely to be replaced by electric alternatives as the technology improves unless the new generation of designers embrace the benefits of hydraulic power.
Hydraulics still has many clear advantages over electric power; load bearing capabilities and predictive maintenance are just two of the benefits of using hydraulic power and easier troubleshooting and repair underline the plus points of hydraulic versus electrical power. It is obvious, however, that for hydraulic power to survive and compete it must integrate seamlessly into electrical circuits so that there is no reason not to choose a hydraulic component over an electrical one, solely on the basis of ease of integration into the rest of the system. Many hydraulic power packs now, including the ones produced by Hydraproducts, are designed to fit with electrical circuits and to be used with electrical power, translating a small amount of electrical power into a much larger hydraulic force, without any risks of high voltage electrocution or shorting out a circuit under increasing loads.
One of the most understandable facets of the IoT is the unmanned warehouse. Already in trial by Amazon (using drones) and some Chinese companies (using robots running on a grid matrix), these automated warehouses need minimal human staff, with even deliveries being accepted by robots using RFID tags. The central processing office can oversee the delivery, but no one needs to physically sign for a consignment as this can all be done through sensors. Moving new stock to the right location within the warehouse is done through robotics, and the incorporation of electrohydraulic components means even heavy items can be moved and lifted into place on shelves. Sensors ensure that the location of each item is logged, and this data can be used to create an automated picking list for the same electrohydraulic robots to compile an order. Electric actuators may be used for warehouses that only deal in lightweight stock, but for car parts warehouses and other stockists of heavy components the extra power that hydraulic components offer is essential for true automation.
If nothing else makes hydraulic components an attractive choice, then the ability to scale up power and force through the intelligent use of hydraulic power certainly does. Electric alternatives may be getting cheaper and are undoubtedly easier to wire into a circuit than traditional hydraulic units, but the marriage between electric and hydraulic power makes perfect sense for fully capable robots that can cope with lifting and transporting items of all sizes and weights. The replacement and maintenance involved with fully electric systems is comparable to that of an electrohydraulic system, but it can be much harder to pinpoint the exact cause of a problem without careful study of the wiring schematic and an understanding of the original design. Hydraulic components, by comparison, are easier to fix for those who were not involved in the design process and given that engineers and maintenance people generally are not involved in the specification of a system, it is intelligent to have a system that can be fixed more easily.
The IoT is not confined to commercial and industrial applications, however, and in part 2 we look at the uses in the smart home.
Welcome back to part 2 … we continue looking at IoT and uses in the home.
The IoT is not confined to commercial and industrial applications, however, and the concept of the smart home is becoming more mainstream as people try out smart home apps such as the ones that control your heating and lights. Although there is no requirement for using hydraulic components in these applications, combining the ability to control temperature and lighting with the ability to pre-emptively open your gate or garage door as you arrive home (perhaps with the use of GPS, so your connected home knows where you are and how long you will be) is something that will involve electrohydraulic components.
Some smart home systems know when a window is open and allow you to close it remotely, which is great if you have gone to bed and realise a door or window is unsecured. Electric actuators may be able to control the motion of most domestic windows and internal doors, but large windows, fire doors and external doors would require more power which can be offered by hydraulic actuators. These systems are also perfectly suited to being used as a security solution in large buildings that are guarded by a skeleton staff. Security cameras can be used to monitor all areas of the building, both inside and out and an intelligent network of hydraulic actuators can be used to close doors that have been left open without the security guards needing to leave their station. In a break in situation doors can be closed and locked remotely, trapping a burglar until the police arrive. Hydraulic components have a clear security advantage here as they cannot be tampered with by messing with electric circuits or by using magnets to interfere with electrical signals, and the hydraulic pressure locking a door shut can only be released by accessing a relief valve or by having access to the main control panel.
Micro and mini packs from Hydraproducts are perfect for automated door and window security applications, as they are small enough to be retrofitted in a building without causing a lot of disruption and offer a surprising amount of force for their size. Multiple units can be wired in to add extra security when needed, or they can be used to affect a further mechanical lock that is not prone to tampering or damage.
Hydraproducts also manufacture and design bespoke systems, so if you have the seeds of an idea regarding how electrohydraulic components can help you automate certain features of your home or business we are the people to call. With experience of working in hazardous industries such as subsea drilling and demanding locations like film sets where performance is key we are well versed in working within parameters set by our clients and always come up with the solution that suits the client and performs well.

Working with hydraulic machinery involves a certain degree of trouble shooting and problem solving, even people who operate the equipment and are not involved in maintenance and repair, should have some basic knowledge of what can go wrong and what to look out for. When it comes to diagnosing and solving problems with hydraulic machinery there are several things that should be checked, and just as many tips and tools to help you do so.
Firstly, if a schematic diagram of the equipment is available this is a very handy tool for fixing problems. It may be obvious that a seal has gone somewhere along the line, but without a schematic diagram it can be a long trial and error process of finding, then changing every seal in a process of elimination. On very complicated and large hydraulic equipment with multiple hoses and cylinders it helps to be able to quickly locate each junction, especially if the presentation of the issue points to where the problem may be located. The schematic diagram also allows you to identify the potential causes of a problem, and prioritise them by likelihood, meaning less time is spent speculatively replacing parts at random and more time is spent actually investigating the most likely causes and addressing them first.
A flexible powerful light is also very useful for finding faults in hydraulic equipment, as some labels and parts may be out of the way and hard to see or read. Big torches are powerful but not so good for tight spaces, so a fibre optic light is a good investment. Magnetic dropper tools are also very handy when disassembling complex parts in situ, as if a small part falls into a reservoir or cylinder it means taking the whole thing apart to retrieve it, and in the worst cases replacing that part entirely, which can be very costly. A small magnet on a telescopic rod may be cheap and small, but can come in very handy indeed.
Once the potential problem has been diagnosed, the offending component needs to be removed and inspected for faults. Compressed air and air guns are great for cleaning off parts and for inspecting the integrity of valves. Similarly, automotive brake and clutch cleaner is an invaluable tool for cleaning greasy and contaminated components, without the need for pressure or rubbing that could otherwise damage the part. If the suspected part turns out not to be the culprit then it needs to be clean and free from contaminants when it is replaced, otherwise further issues could arise from dirty parts being replaced in the machinery.
When disassembling parts it is imperative that all components are inspected and kept visible; a lost screw or other vital part can cause bigger problems than the initially broken part if it is hard to replace. Using heavy white paper to lay out the components keeps them in sight, in order and makes it easy to see oil leaks, as well as keeping the oil off other things in the vicinity. It is also handy to be able to make notes on the paper, circling components that are okay and crossing next to ones that are broken.
Having a small tool set to hand is vital for repairing faults, and it is worth getting any specialist tools that the hydraulic machinery may require so they are to hand when needed. Spare seals are also vital to have on board, as these are often the cause of leaks but should be replaced when inspecting and repairing faults, even if they are not to blame. It is a good practice to replace these if they are removed for fault finding, as they could be compromised and stretched from being removed.
Join us in part 2 for more hydraulic trouble shooting tips that are firmly in the 21st century.
It's not always necessary to replace an entire component in a broken hydraulic system, there are times when repairing it can deliver excellent performance and some welcome cost savings. This is true of many hydraulic system parts including motors, cylinders and even pumps.
· How worn or damaged is the component?
· Do you have the knowledge and the facilities to make the repair?
· How is the repair going to be performed?
In some situations, there are some parts of worn or damaged hydraulic components that can be re-used after they have passed through processes such as honing, grinding, machining or hard-chrome plating. Through skilled workmanship it's possible to make a reduction in the new parts required in addition to making savings from opting to repair as opposed to sourcing a new part.
It is also sometimes possible to lower repair costs even further by using aftermarket or non-genuine parts. Some of these parts are actually made in the same factories that make the genuine OEM parts and will be of the same quality. In other cases, these parts will be made by other manufacturers and their quality may be considered to be anywhere between poor, questionable and first rate.
Keeping this in mind, it's worth asking your repair shop whether the parts are proven in terms of quality, performance and service life in addition to whether they are covered by a warranty.
If the repair shop is aware of the quality of the parts and are willing to stand behind them, then you have limited risk in the implementation of your decision. If they haven't used them before, then you will need to consider what cost it will be to you if the parts are not reliable in quality.
Weigh up the savings made by the unknown parts living up to expectation versus the cost to you if they don't. You may find that the repair shop will share some of that risk as once they have discovered whether those parts are reliable, they can then offer them as a solution to other customers.
In summary, don't go ahead with hydraulic component repairs without understanding what risk you are taking. How do the savings you could make measure up against the cost of this experiment failing? It could turn out to be a rather unpleasant and costly mistake.
Smartphones have revolutionised the way we work and live in a very short space of time; "there's an app for that" may have been the slogan that launched a thousand apps but it's definitely true, whatever you need help with there is an app designed specifically for that purpose. Some apps are designed to fulfil a particular function that can be applied over several uses, such as torch apps, compasses and even scales (which use the ability to sense pressure to weigh items on the phone screen).
Big Magnify is a free app that magnifies objects captured through the camera up to five times the size. Some phone cameras may let you do this with the phone already, but many do not go to this scale, so this app would be useful for anyone who works with small components, some of which may be hard to see if they are out of the way. Using this app in a tight space will allow you to see a detailed zoomed in picture of the potential problem, without having to access the part or disassemble is speculatively.
Hydraulic equipment does generate noise, and excess noise may be the first indicator of a problem. Using Decibel Meter Pro when you start using equipment for the first time allows you to record and store the normal operating levels of a particular piece so there is a baseline record. If the equipment makes more or less noise than it should the same app can be used to record the change, which may help diagnose the problem. Whilst this app is not free to download, at around 99p it's a bargain for anyone who regularly works with loud equipment.
For those who use and repair hydraulic machinery outside, the free Metal Detector app is a lifesaver if you drop a small part in the grass. It may seem like a strange app to develop, but it works well enough to locate missing parts and is a lot quicker than finding a magnet and then dragging it around the area, hoping it will pick up that tiny part. It's also incredibly useful for locating any lost metal object at home and whilst out and about; and if you still put a coin in your Christmas pudding you can use this app to ensure you're the one that gets the lucky piece!
Convert Free is a great app for anyone working with formulae and numbers, as it can convert a huge range of measurements accurately. It takes away the need to remember conversion formulae and does the work at the touch of a button much more easily than using the calculator on a smart phone. Although this app is not specifically aimed at hydraulic engineers, the Hydraulic Engineer app is. It contains some of the same features as the conversion app, but has 300 conversion formulae for hydraulic power engineering as well as 60 area formulae. There are also actuator, hydraulic tubing, pump and induction motor selection tools, making it a worthwhile investment.
Another app designed specifically for hydraulic engineers is the Hydraulic Troubleshooting app, which is a free download. This app contains a technical bulletin library explaining some of the common problems, as well as a video library giving detailed visual explanations of these issues. The troubleshooting section of the app is a ten step program that guides you through the quickest process for diagnosing and solving most hydraulic problems. The idea is that by the end of the process the problem should be resolved, and if not it gives the user an action plan to follow in order to get the issue fixed.
Are there any apps, hydraulics specific or not, that you have used to help fix a problem or that make your job easier in any way? Please share them in the comments below.
1. Connect the hydraulic power pack to an existing system without cleaning or flushing it.
We often see this issue in single acting systems, such as a scissor lift or tipper truck, where a hydraulic power unit is replaced but the pipework and cylinder have contaminated oil in them. When the equipment is first operated this dirt is returned into the hydraulic power pack through the hydraulic valves causing them to block and fail.
2. Work on the power pack until electrical supplies have been isolated.
Many hydraulic systems have a control system that include a hydraulic pressure switch or transducer. These can be configured to "automatically" start the power pack.
Particularly important with mini and micro packs where the hydraulic oil tanks can often be small compared to the amount of oil required by the cylinders. Always fill the reservoir in stages, complete the filling level once all the air has been bleed from the system and with all the hydraulic cylinders fully retracted.
4. Forget to check the motor rotation.
Mostly applies to 3phase 415V motors, as these must be orientated to ensure the motor runs in the direction as indicated on the motor arrow label. This can also apply to 1phase 240V motors, but this is set at the time of manufacture. Failure to ensure the direction is correct can cause premature failure of the hydraulic pump seals. Running the motor for a short burst to check the rotation is essential.
5. Adjust the pressure relief or safety valves, beyond the manufacturers setting.
A frequently observed cause of premature failure of a hydraulic powerpack is a pressure relief valve that has been set higher then the hydraulic pump rating. This can be innocently done if a powerpack does not seem to be pumping, yet subsequently the pump proceeds to operate and then the pressure peaks at a very high level damaging the hydraulic pump.
Assistance is installing and maintaining all our powerpacks can be found at www.hydraproducts.co.uk.
As designers and manufacturers of the highest quality hydraulic parts we are very proud of our mini hydraulic power packs, which can be driven from 12 or 24-volt direct current (DC) supplies. Our OEM customers rely on our consistency and quality to build functional and reliable equipment, including tail lifts, tipper trucks and trailers. Typically, our 3kW output motor, which relies on a 24v DC supply, is used to raise and lower the ramps of trailers used to transport heavy equipment. The nature of the equipment using the ramp, means that the ramp itself must be sturdy in construction and therefore, quite heavy to lift. The 3kW mini power pack does this with ease, and is fan cooled to guard against overheating.
For more lightweight applications, such as tailgate lifts on commercial passenger vehicles, a smaller output is needed. For these uses a 12v mini hydraulic power pack is used, as the 12v motor can be wired into standard vehicle electrical circuits for tailgate lift functions. The 12v model is available with a 500W or 800W output, so the choice depends on the amount of power that is needed to drive the hydraulic pump in the system.
We manufacture our products to be compatible with all major brands of pumps and valves, so they can be used in any system where a new component is needed, or the system needs to be upgraded to handle a larger capacity. Our valves and other components we manufacture, are also designed to be used in a wide variety of systems, and with a global distribution network we can serve your DC hydraulic motor needs wherever you are.
Our mini hydraulic power packs may be small (around 16 inches long) but they are capable of packing a mighty punch; the model with most capacity is the 3kW, 24v model, but the 12v and 24v models have outputs between 0.5kW and 2kW. This is a wide range of strengths, allowing our customers to use the most efficient and appropriate motor for their needs. This range also means systems can be designed with the lowest possible power consumption across all parts, but with the most efficient hydraulic output of that power. System designers do not have to compromise on power because the ideal output size is not available. We do make bespoke components, so even if we don't have the exact off-the-shelf DC power pack you need, we can still make it happen for you.
Our micro hydraulic power packs are also a great option for when one of our mini power packs are too large for the space available. They are only 89mm square and can be discreetly installed in the moving arm of a security barrier or automatic gate system. The 0.5kW mini motor with 12v DC supply is often used for step lifts and other applications where the load to be moved is not too heavy, so step lifts and passenger lifts on small vans or taxis that will not be taking huge equipment, can be driven by one of these smaller motors. Running on a 12v DC supply means that the tail lift system can be seamlessly integrated into the electrical systems of the vehicle, and operated from the standard dashboard. The driver can raise or lower the lift from the comfort of the driver's seat and not worry about having to use separate controls for this action.

Anyone interested in learning to read the Hebrew Bible in its original language will find within the pages of this book all the resources needed to begin this wonderful journey. The book is laid out in four parts. The first part teaches the Hebrew alphabet through a series of lessons. The second part teaches word and sentence structure of the Hebrew language by breaking down each Hebrew word in Genesis chapter one, verses one through five. The Hebrew text of Genesis chapter one is provided for reading and comprehension practices in part three. The fourth part of the book contains charts and dictionaries of prefixes, suffixes, words and roots of the Hebrew language to assist the reader with vocabulary definitions and comprehension. Within a short amount of time the Hebrew student will soon be reading the Bible through the eyes of the author rather than the opinions of a translator.
I find his info interesting to learn, enjoy! I have almost all of his books, and watch for more as they come out.
I like that I get actual words and sentences to read. Yes, there are exercises to help with pronunciation but, ooh the satisfaction of learning real things.
Great book for students seeking to learn Biblical Hebrew. I did a research and I found that anything Jeff Benner puts out will meet my needs, and indeed it is a keeper. Right to the point and clear teaching without the mumble jumble.
YahushaFollower	- Quite a Study Tool!
I definitely recommend this book and purchasing it through Amazon as well. Do you love to learn about The Creator and what He truly wants you to know? Do you want to learn Biblical Hebrew in a way that's easy to understand? If you answered yes to one of these questions, you should purchase this book!

Q: Comparison principle for functions $u,v$ such that $\Delta u-f(u)\ge \Delta v-f(v)$ Let $\Omega \in {{R}^{n}}$ and $u,v\in {{C}^{2}}\left( \Omega  \right)\cap C\left( {\bar{\Omega }} \right),\text{ }f\in {{C}^{1}}\left( R \right)$ such that ${f}'\left( t \right)\ge 0$, for all $t\in R$.  Assume
$$\left\{ \begin{align}
  & \Delta u-f\left( u \right)\ge \Delta v-f\left( v \right)\text{   on   }\Omega  \\
 & u\le v\text{   on   }\partial \Omega \text{ }, \\
\end{align} \right.$$
Show that $u\le v\text{   on   }\Omega \text{ }.$
My attempt:
Assume $u\gt v\text{   on   }\Omega \text{ }.$  Let $w=u-v$.  Then $w>0\text{  on  }\Omega ,\text{ and }w\le0\text{ on }\partial \Omega $
Since ${f}'\left( t \right)\ge 0$, we have $f\left( u \right)-f\left( v \right)\ge 0$.
Because  $\Delta w=\Delta u-\Delta v\ge f\left( u \right)-f\left( v \right)\ge 0$, $w$ is subhamonic.
Then $w\le \frac{1}{\left| \partial B \right|}\int_{\partial B}{wdS}=\frac{1}{\left| \partial B \right|}\int_{\partial B}{\left( u-v \right)dS}\le 0$, a contraditciton.
Hence $u\gt v\text{   on   }\Omega \text{ }.$
I don't feel confident with my approach.  Please help.

A: The claim $\frac{1}{\left| \partial B \right|}\int_{\partial B}{\left( u-v \right)dS}\le 0$ was not justified, and need not be true.

Instead, I would proceed as follows: assuming $w=u-v>0$ somewhere, let $G$ be a connected component of the set $\{x:w(x)>0\}$. Note that $w=0$ on $\partial G$: this is where the assumption $w\le 0$ on $\partial \Omega$ is used. Within $G$, we have
$$
\Delta w = f(u)-f(v)\ge 0
$$
meaning $w$ is subharmonic. By the maximum principle for subharmonic functions, $w\le 0$ in $G$, a contradiction.

Omega-3 fatty acids play a vital role in maintaining a healthy body and mind. Besides reducing inflammation, reducing our risk of dementia and decreasing blood triglycerides, omega-3 fatty acids keep our skin and hair looking great.
Some of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids are oily fish like sardines, tuna, salmon and trout. But what if you are a vegetarian, a vegan or just don't like fish, how do you make sure that you too can benefit from this good compound? Well, it is not that easy. You see, plant sources of omega-3 fatty acids contain only one of the three types of omega-3 fatty acids namely alpha-linolenic acid. Alpha-linolenic acid needs to transform to eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid in our bodies before you can get the benefit. Another problem is that our bodies struggle at best to do this conversion, in fact the success rate of conversion ranges from 5 – 0.5 %. Therefore, vegan and vegetarians need to make sure that they get enough alpha-linolenic acid rich foods in to increase those conversion numbers.
To help you find the best sources of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids foods, they are listed below.
Chia seeds are little black seeds packed with goodness. By eating 28 grams of chai seeds, you will get around 307% of your recommended daily intake alpha-linolenic acid omega-3 fatty acids. They are a great source of fiber and protein, but also rich in alpha-linolenic acid omega-3 fatty acids. These little seeds can help lessen blood triglycerides, inflammation, increase your good cholesterol, and glucose intolerance, but also help with weight management as they made you feel full.
These seeds are easy to incorporate into your diet. You can add them to your smoothies, in salads, in your cereal or you can use them as an egg substitute by using one tablespoon of chai seeds with three tablespoons of water in recipes that need eggs.
Not everyone's favorite vegetable, but Brussels sprouts are good sources of vitamin C, vitamin K, fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. In fact, half a cup of these calciferous vegetable cooked will give you around 12% of your daily needed alpha-linolenic acid omega-3 fatty acids. By doing that you can lower your risk of heart disease by 16%.
Walnuts are a great healthy snack, but these nuts that contain 65% of fat are also a good source of alpha-linolenic acid omega-3 fatty acids. And you can get your complete daily requirements by just eating 28 grams of these delicious nuts.
Not only are walnuts tasty, research has linked them to improved memory and learning, improved brain health, improvements in motor development and anxiety as well as Alzheimer's disease.
If the health benefits is not enough, then do it for their taste, by adding walnuts to your cereal, use them in your salads or when you make your homemade granola bars.
The slightly nutty floured flaxseeds are packed with fiber, protein, magnesium and manganese, but also a good source of omega-3. In fact, you only need 28 grams of flaxseed to meet your daily requirements. The benefits research has shown by taking flaxseed; include a healthy heart, reducing cholesterol, and lowering blood pressure.
Add them to your oats, cereal, salads, soups, or even use them as an egg substitute by taking one tablespoon of flaxseed with two and a half tablespoons of water to replace eggs in a recipe.
Algal oil is a sort of oil that is derived from algae, but what makes algal oil special is that it contains both eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid. In fact, algal oil will provide 400–500 mg of eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, achieving 44–167% of the daily-recommended intake.
This oil is available in a soft gel form, and has been found to improve memory.
You can take algal oil as a supplement, or use the oil to cook salmon, or stir-fry vegetables. Alternatively, you can add the liquid to your smoothies to get the benefits of this healthy fat.
Hemp seeds are stellar if you are looking for a source of protein, magnesium, iron and zinc, but also omega-3. Just 28 gram of hemp seeds 375–545% of the daily-recommended intake of alpha-linolenic acid omega-3 fatty acids.
The health benefits of hemp seeds include heart health, by preventing formation of blood clots, and to assist the heart to recover after a heart attack. In addition, hemp seeds can also help you to lose those extra kilos.
To benefit from this healthy seed, add them to your smoothies, in your granola bars, or crush them fine and add them to your cereal.
A staple in Korea, the perilla seeds are used to make an oil that is used in cooking. Not only this this oil flavorful, it is also a great omega-3 source. So great that one tablespoon of perilla oil will provide you with 563–818% of your daily-recommended omega-3 intake.
Although this oil is available in a capsule form, the best way to enjoy it is as a dressing or flavor enhancer instead of normal cooking oil.
The benefits of omega-3 is known, but the best sources of these are within fish. If you do not eat fish, or dislike it, then your access to the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids are limited. Luckily, a few plant-based foods are rich in omega-3 that you can add to your diet, so you too can have the health benefits omega-3 can offer.

FILE - In this July 2001 file photo, a campsite setup off the trail to the summit of the second highest peak in Philmont Scout Ranch, N.M., is shown.

(AP Photo/Ira Dreyfuss, File )
One of the most spectacular properties owned by the Boy Scouts of America is being been mortgaged to help secure the youth organization's line of credit.
The Boy Scouts say there is no plan to sell the Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. It is being used as collateral to help meet financial needs that include rising insurance costs related to sex-abuse litigation.
The move dismayed a member of Philmont's oversight committee, who says it violates agreements made when the land was donated in 1938. The BSA disputed his assertion.
The mortgage document was signed by top Boy Scout officials in March. But members of the Philmont Ranch Committee only recently learned of the development.
The ranch is a popular destination for hiking and camping trips.

Q: shorthand If Statements: C# Just a quick one, Is there anyway to shorthand this?
It's basically determining the direction left or right, 1 for left, 0 for right
In C#:
if (column == 0) { direction = 0; }
else if (column == _gridSize - 1) { direction = 1; }
else { direction = rand.Next(2); }

The statement following this will be:
if (direction == 1)
{
    // do something
}
else
{
    // do something else
}

If there isn't, it doesn't really matter! just curious:)

A: To use shorthand to get the direction:
int direction = column == 0
                ? 0
                : (column == _gridSize - 1 ? 1 : rand.Next(2));

To simplify the code entirely:
if (column == gridSize - 1 || rand.Next(2) == 1)
{
}
else
{
}

A: Recently, I really enjoy shorthand if else statements as a swtich case replacement. In my opinion, this is better in read and take less place. Just take a look:
var redirectUrl =
      status == LoginStatusEnum.Success ? "/SecretPage"
    : status == LoginStatusEnum.Failure ? "/LoginFailed"
    : status == LoginStatusEnum.Sms ? "/2-StepSms"
    : status == LoginStatusEnum.EmailNotConfirmed ? "/EmailNotConfirmed"
    : "/404-Error";

instead of
string redirectUrl;
switch (status)
{
    case LoginStatusEnum.Success:
        redirectUrl = "/SecretPage";
        break;
    case LoginStatusEnum.Failure:
        redirectUrl = "/LoginFailed";
        break;
    case LoginStatusEnum.Sms:
        redirectUrl = "/2-StepSms";
        break;
    case LoginStatusEnum.EmailNotConfirmed:
        redirectUrl = "/EmailNotConfirmed";
        break;
    default:
        redirectUrl = "/404-Error";
        break;
}

A: Use the ternary operator
direction == 1 ? dosomething () : dosomethingelse ();

A: Yes. Use the ternary operator.
condition ? true_expression : false_expression;


It's no secret that staying fit is a big part of a healthy lifestyle. Being active can help prevent serious health problems like heart disease and high blood pressure. Regular exercise is also a proven stress-reliever that can improve your mood, boost your energy levels, contribute to better sleep and help you maintain a healthy weight.
But when your schedule is packed to the brim with work, errands and more, finding the time to exercise may feel almost impossible. The good news is you don't always have to hit the gym to get in a good aerobic workout. Even in the hustle and bustle of your daily life, you can find simple ways to stay fit.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that adults dedicate 150 minutes of each week — or 20 minutes every day — to moderate aerobic activity. The CDC also recommends strength training sessions twice a week. That may feel like quite a time commitment, but the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services defines moderate aerobic activity as anything that makes your heart beat faster. That means a lot of the activities you're already engaged in can become aerobic activities — provided you pick up the pace. If you break up your aerobic activities into 10-minute chunks, you'll reach that 150-minute weekly total before you know it.
Here are some ways to make your everyday activities more aerobic.
Start with a stretch. Get your day going with some stretching exercises. Toss in a little yoga, some crunches and a few push-ups for good measure.
Play. Kids and dogs need lots of physical activity, so if you have either (or both), play with them to get your heart pumping. With kids, tag, leapfrog, jump rope, hopscotch and racing are all great games to play. If you have a dog, take him or her on a brisk walk, play tug of war or just romp in the backyard.
Do your chores. Mowing the lawn and raking leaves are some simple tasks that can become aerobic if done vigorously. Add walking lunges while you vacuum or dust, and practice single balance by standing on one leg while you wash dishes.
Work out at work. Use your commute to get in some exercise by walking or biking to work. If the length of your commute makes that too difficult, try parking 10 minutes away from the office. Doing so will add two brisk walks to your 9-to-5 schedule. If that's not an option either, take a couple of breaks every day to walk up and down the stairs of your office building.
Get off the couch. Unwinding in front of the television at the end of the day can be healthy, as long as you avoid doing so while vegging out on the couch. Set up a treadmill or stationary bike in your living room and exercise while you watch. You'll barely notice you're working out!
Another great option is to join Goshen Health's fitness programs. We offer a full slate of fitness classes, ranging from indoor cycling to boot camps. For more information, give us a call at (574) 364-2855.


Could be a good buy but could also be another Ben Arfa.
not insisting on 3 more much needed players is disappointing.
What makes you compare him to ben afry?
He's a good player but is inconsistent and tries to do everything himself. You know, he's the type of player who looks to try and beat one more man rather than pass or shoot.
matbe that's because he can? Would we as fans see that as a negative?
Jesse Lingaard has been made available for transfer by Manchester United priced at only £2.5m. Steve McClaren is a big fan and wants Jesse at The Toon.
May not be a bad option, cheap and quite young so I think he would be a decent buy for us. Could be good having him and Aarons on our wings.
Another Day another Name wh do we really need andcwhat positions and even after 3 good signings do we have any professionalism in Charley and Carr to actually do this?

Aerospace material from polymer
Researchers in the College of Science and College of Engineering, Virginia, have discovered that a high-strength polymer called 'PBDT' has a rare double helix structure, opening possibilities for use in a variety of applications.
This discovery, recently published in Nature Communications, comes as an extension of the development of a polymer ion-gel, which promises to outperform conventional flammable liquid battery electrolytes. Now, equipped with evidence of the double helix structure, the potential for this high-performance material extends well beyond batteries.
The confirmation of the double helix structure opens up possibilities for PBDT's potential application beyond battery electrolytes; its rigidity could aid new composites such as lightweight aerospace material. The polymer's supreme rigidity means that only a fraction of it would be needed to achieve comparable performance to conventional reinforcing fillers.

AkzoNobel rises to challenge of protecting world's biggest offshore wind farm
Located around 89 kilometres off the east coast of England, Hornsea 2 is due to be up and running by mid-2022. It has the capacity to produce more than 1.3 gigawatts of energy – enough to power over 1.3 million homes.
The foundations of all the turbines (which tower 204 meters above sea level) have been coated with Interzone 954 from the company's International brand. Originally designed for the demanding protection of offshore oil and gas structures, the product has now also become the go-to solution for offshore
wind farms.
Protecting turbines right-first-time enables them to continuously operate in the most challenging locations. Offshore wind farms are particularly susceptible to atmospheric corrosion, due to the high humidity and chloride content in the air. The splash zone of each wind turbine – which is intermittently wet and dry due to tides and waves – is the most prone to corrosion.
According to the company, Interzone 954 has a unique blend of properties, including excellent barrier protection, exceptional abrasion resistance and high film build. It's also resistant to a wide range of chemicals.
