It is imperative to protect the tender plants and other products in the greenhouse from the frost of winter. Here are a few tips you can avail, without incurring any additional costs, to get the job done.
Insulating your tender plants by merely covering pots with bubble wrap is a compelling idea considering bubble wrap is ideal for insulation and provides passage of light effectively. Before insulating the window with bubble wrap, ensure to clean the window first, to maximize light passage. Moreover, wrapping pots with such wrap protect it from cracks and breakage during cold temperatures.
Undoubtedly one of the safest and most effective methods of heating the greenhouse during winter weather conditions is through electric heating. Unlike its counterparts, such as paraffin and propane systems, the latter ceases to release any additional amounts of moisture in the air. Another somewhat effective system is fan heaters as it maintains heat effectively in the structure as well.
You can save plenty of energy and money by merely setting the electric heater to function only when the temperature in the structure as displayed in its built thermostat falls below the ideal level of warmth.
If you lack an automated functioning thermometer based heater, you can consider investing in a functioning thermometer as well, which depicts accurate readings. Tend to adjust the climate within the greenhouse regularly according to the readings taken.
It is essential you maintain the right amount of heat within the structure facilitating effect growth, maintaining warmth and avoiding extreme temperature. Merely, setting the right temperature can help you avoid unnecessary expenses, save money while maximizing efficiency. The ideal temperature will depend on factors such as plants growing inside; however, the perfect temperature is anywhere from 3-10 degree Celsius or 37-50 degrees Fahrenheit.
It is recommended to place the electric heaters in the dead center of the structure, allowing warm air to spread evenly throughout and above the plants, to maximize efficiency.
You can maximize cost and energy saving as well as the efficiency by merely heating only the needed portions or plants within the greenhouse. Instead of heating the entire greenhouse for the sake of one plant, alternatively, you can partition the plant using bubble wrap and accordingly heat those plants.
Experts often recommend using horticulture fleece to cover the tender plants and protect them from the increasingly cold temperatures at night. Such horticulture fleece provides them with several layers of protection and maintains warmth, without needing to turn on the electric heating. However, it is crucial you remove such layer from the plants during the daytime to allow the plant sufficient light and ventilation.

Let me begin with a brief thanks to whoever it was that created the electric wood splitter. This is a brilliant, if improbably heavy, machine. I love it!
Dave splitting wood at the farm.
With the first trip for wood, Dave started doing some log splitting to transform the log sections into actual fire wood. Using a maul (doesn't sound promising…), he started muscling through the pile. I watched his technique and figured that it would take me only moments to lose a toe (we all know the luck I have with foot injuries… see "Family Dinner" post) and/or tweak my back beyond redemption. So when Farmer-Landlord said (only partially joking) that the Men get the wood and the Women do the splitting (more hunter-gatherer references here), I knew I was in trouble. Then Farmer-Landlord introduced me to Betsy… the name that I've given to his beloved electric wood splitter.
Betsy is worth her considerable weight in gold. To help us out the first time, Farmer-Landlord backed his pickup to the wood pile, plunked Betsy down on to the open tail gate, and showed me how to use her. The splitter looks more or less like a narrow chute with an ax bit at one end. You plop the log onto the track, make sure one end of it is snuggly abutted to ax bit (aka the sharp end), and then in Betsy's case you hold a button down while simultaneously pulling a lever (safety first) and a moving panel forces the log down onto the bit, splitting the wood. For larger logs you can do multiple splits. Easy Peasy.
In no time I had split my way, pink gloves and all, through about half of the pile of dumped wood. There was still the large trailer full and the person-sized logs that still needed portioning, but all in all not a bad start. At around the same time that my hands and arms started to complain loudly, Little Man woke from his nap complaining loudly too. His poor little face was swollen from the yellow jacket sting from earlier that day, and the copious calamine lotion didn't help the look.
The next day I went out again to the pile to split wood; good little wood chuck that I am. The pickup was still parked next to it, the tailgate down at the perfect height for Betsy. I just needed to go get her from the work shed. Dave was off playing soccer, Little man was sleeping, and I was going to play Lumberjane.
I knew where Betsy was in the shed, gave her a quick spritz of oil along the track, tipped her up and started to wheel her out to the pile. Or I should say, uphill to the pile. I wheeled her over to the low rise that we had to clime together and dragged her like a dead body up the hill, finally getting to the pickup. I could hear the steady plunk, plunk, plunk of Farmer-Landlord "harvesting" rocks from the sheep pasture. Apparently they were messing with the idyllic scene, so one by one, plunk, plunk, plunk, then went into the maw of the tractor. Luckily the "rock garden" was around the corner from where I was attempting to work, so no one (I hope!) witnessed that pathetic struggle between myself, Betsy and gravity.
Now that I had gotten Betsy to the pickup, I needed to get her up onto the tail gate. Oy. I knelt down, grasped Betsy at both ends and made to lift her properly with knees bent, etc. Nothing moved. Betsy is a sturdy piece of work. So I tried again, and she just wiggled a bit. Now I was getting nervous that I would have to ask Farmer-Landlord for help, but I didn't want to interrupt his chore to help with mine. So one last harrumph and I got Betsy most of the way to the tailgate. A lovely double-bruise on my upper thigh marked where I gave her a little extra boost up. I would forget about that bruise until I took Little Man to the pool a couple of days later. In my swim suit I looked battered, and got quickly into the water that miraculously hides a number of evils. Once I had Betsy on the tail gate, we were off to the races.
A winter's worth of wood to be split.
Again I made pretty quick work of almost all of the loose pile of wood, making quite an impressive (if not properly stacked) wood pile. But I have to come back to that "almost all" from the previous sentence. About five or six of the larger, more recently harvested logs were a bit wetter than the others. A few of the dry logs sounded like a gun shot when the log finally split under the pressure. The more recently cut logs sometimes fought a bit and would split, but not completely. They hold themselves together in remembrance of what it was to be complete with fibrous fingers. I "split" these larger logs four or five times and for my troubles ended up with my own wooden rose sculptures. Do you know those pictures in Thai restaurants of the fancily carved fruit? The watermelons carved into intricate flower baskets, the mango carved into a swan, etc.? This is my own, much less appealing, version. These wooden roses have been set aside in a pile for the stubborn, to be resplit by Dave.
In the meantime, Little Man managed to sleep through the wood splitting for a second day in a row, and was just waking up when I was finishing the pile and Dave was just getting home from soccer. All three of us were a bit dazed afterwards, and while Betsy had done all the hard work for the splitting, I started to feel the exhaustion of lifting and hurling all the wood. Now it was time to make dinner. We wanted something hearty befitting our efforts, but not enough to induce a food coma. And it needed to be quick. As luck would have it, I had recently stumbled across (literally, one was on the floor of the grocery store aisle) prepared polenta in a local store. Angels were singing when I found this tube and quickly plunked a couple down in my cart. Little Man used one as a microphone for a bit. This would be the basis for a super quick oven roasted polenta with marinara and oozy cheese.
Serves two with leftovers. Easily up the quantity by just doubling (or more) the ingredients. The method stays the same.
1. Preheat the oven to 425º Fahrenheit. Prepare a baking sheet by drizzling about one table spoon olive oil over its base. Too much oil and the polenta will be greasy, too little and it sticks.
2. Slice the polenta into ½ inch thick coins. Sprinkle salt and pepper over both sides. Place the polenta coins on the baking sheet, and drizzle the tops with a little olive oil.
3. Bake the polenta coins for about 25 minutes, or until crispy and golden on both sides. Meanwhile heat the sauce, either in a pan on the stove or a bowl in the microwave.
4. Once the polenta is golden, pull the pan out of the oven and sprinkle the grated mozzarella and parmesan evenly over the polenta coins. Crank the oven up to broil, put the pan back into the oven, and watch it like a hawk. Don't answer the phone, don't refill any juice cups, just monitor the melting cheese. You want golden, not volcanic ash.
Golden brown polenta coins topped with chesse and ready for the broiler.
5. Resist the temptation to simply top the polenta with the sauce in a nice large casserole. You went to a lot of trouble to crisp up that polenta. If you top the crisp food with the wet sauce, you will get soggy polenta. Instead, be a little bit fussy (you can afford to be fussy here since the dinner took next to no prep) and pour a bit of sauce onto each plate. Top the sauce with a couple cheesy polenta coins, and enjoy! We served this with a great, simple fresh lettuce salad from the garden.

Eve gets a bad rap. 🙂 It's about time that Adam stepped forward and shouldered some of the responsibility. After all, the Bible doesn't describe Eve tackling Adam, pinning him to the ground and force feeding the fruit to him. It wasn't slipped secretly into his fruit smoothy. And, frankly, I'm glad that we have access to the electric splitter. I like to feel like I'm helping out more than just cooking dinner, etc. It doesn't seem fair that Dave should have to do all aspects of harvesting the logs, portioning them with the chain saw, then splitting and stacking them, then starting all the fires, etc. So it's fun to be able to be a part of the physical labor that goes into living here too.
You are amazing, bruises, burns and all. Hope David knows how lucky he is! I think I'll remind him.
Thanks! 🙂 I never feel very glamorous at the pool, but that visit did make a mental impression on me. That was the same day that I'd gone to the government office to get my license renewed and finally got a smile from the grumpy woman at the desk when she recognized the burns on my hands as being from baking. She then showed off her own "tag marks" from oven accidents. It's an interesting club to belong to… clumsy bakers anonymous. Known only by our unique form of self tattooing.

Gold & Platinum News. RIAA's historic Gold® & Platinum® Program defines success in the recorded music industry. Originally conceived to honor artists and track sound recording sales, Gold & Platinum Awards have come to stand as a benchmark of success for any artist-whether they've just released their first song or Greatest Hits album. Check out our interactive timeline to learn about the program's storied history
The threshold quantity varies by type (such as album, single, music video) and by nation or territory (see List of music recording certifications). Almost all countries follow variations of the RIAA certification categories, which are named after precious materials (gold, platinum and diamond). The threshold required for these awards depends upon the population of the territory where the recording is released. IMPALA launched sales awards in 2005 as the first sales awards recognising that success on a pan-European basis begins well before sales reach one million. The award levels are Silver (20,000+), Double Silver (40,000+), Gold (75,000+), Double Gold (150,000+), Diamond (200,000+), Platinum (400,000+) and Double Platinum (800,000+).

Gold & Platinum is simultaneously a massive achievement (the key word being "massive") and an enormous triviality (the key word being "triviality"). This, in a sense, is the way the record industry views rock music: as a collection of unrelated hits. Juxtaposing so many of them on the same album implies some relationship, but, especially on the later discs covering the '80s and the first half of the '90s, none is really apparent. Still, there's a lot of great music here.

Traffic controllers will give riders right of way though the bridge STOP SIGN.
Riders would otherwise follow normal road rules east of Robert St, with right of way given to riders at some intersections manned by traffic controllers.
While most roads are not closed, we would ask you to limit any non-urgent travel during the cycle event leg, do avoid unnecessary risk of collision with riders.
Some roads will have speed limits reduced to 40km.
Sprint Distance event does not offer prize money.

Britain risks becoming 'land without music' if sector not given bailout, warns former deputy PM
Sir David Lidington said music was 'one of the things that makes life different from and so much richer than mere existence'

Coronavirus Article Bar with counter
Britain risks becoming a "land without music" in which "little remains" of the pre-Covid cultural scene, a former deputy Prime Minister has warned.
Sir David Lidington, who served as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and de facto deputy Prime Minister under Theresa May, today calls on the Government to provide a bespoke package of measures to save the UK music and performing arts industries.
Writing in The Telegraph, Sir David warns that the UK's music industry faces destruction because of coronavirus restrictions that prohibit live music events and other forms of performing arts.
Even theatres and other venues that are allowed to open have remained shuttered because distancing rules mean they cannot host enough people to cover their costs, he said.
"From Tallis to Sheeran, music brings solace to the lonely and grieving and unites audiences in shared wonder and joy," he writes.
"In short, it is one of the things that makes life different from and so much richer than mere existence."
Sir David, who is president of the Aylesbury Festival Choir, called on the Prime Minister to introduce a version of the Eat Out to Help Out scheme for the entertainment industry, alongside "tax breaks, a more generous self-employed support scheme or a furlough system tailored to the performing arts".
In July Oliver Dowden, the Culture Secretary, announced a £1.57bn package of emergency funding to keep the UK arts sector afloat.
But industry voices say the money will not be enough to keep the businesses open after the furlough scheme ends, with thousands being made permanently redundant and causing irreparable damage to Britain's arts scene.
Sir David warns the UK will see the "loss of thousands of jobs, the destruction of livelihoods and vocations, the permanent closure of venues and severe damage to our country's position as a global creative hub".

Livio Health Brings Back House Calls
September 2018 Ta'Vasia Johnson Health Equity
Livio Health Group takes a holistic approach to treating aches and pains. In addition to employing board-certified providers and medical assistants, the company uses community health workers to investigate some of their patients' underlying challenges.
Started in 2015, Livio provides onsite services that help remove barriers to accessing care. The company evaluates and treats chronic conditions, illnesses and injuries, while also providing preventive care and prescriptions.
"This patient-focused care model achieves that by providing the medically underserved with faster patient care, which often reduces or eliminates ER and hospital visits, and ultimately leads to better patient outcomes," Jim Olson, president of Livio Care Group, said in a company press release in 2016.
Livio Health Group staff meet with youth at Minnesota Transitions Charter school.
Livio also believes better patient outcomes can be achieved when they help uncover the underlying issues behind illnesses.
"A big hurdle we have is basically social issues. But, to help with our social issues, we have a team of community health workers and they can assist us in a lot of areas in housing, maybe helping people get their bills paid, paying for their medication, stuff like that," said Donny Dunrow, a nurse practitioner of Livio Care Group.
Livio Health community health workers (CHWs) look to treat the whole person by giving patients with a lack of support some of the resources they need. CHWs build trusting relationships with patients, help identify obstacles to health and access to care, and advocate for patients. Importantly, they also help patients learn to advocate for themselves.
"Community Health Workers go in and help mediate the social shortcomings that people have," said Dunrow.
In using such an approach, Livio has flipped traditional health care on its head, going beyond single encounters to treat the whole person. They've committed to doing whatever it takes for as long as it takes to change the system and provide the expertise, understanding and care people deserve.

Fossils narrate the story of a creature of the past. A community of cave bears appeared 40,000 years ago in the area of Almopia . Since nothing exists without its environment, the interaction between existence and environment, reveals knowledge about a prehistoric era of thousands of years.
Since the foot of the mountain, the sound of water travels through the city streets in search of spectators of the game of memory. Primitive realities are recorded, minute by minute, in water molecules, while these in turn are converted into knowledge transmitters, transferring knowledge to the receiver of every living cell.
The contraction of time, the velocity of the liquid liquidity dilates the time of attrition. The concept of "wear and tear" aiming at the death of each living being is now overturned and transformed into a concept of life memory.
Fossils, evidence of existence, are transported by water, or remain on land until we meet them. Caves, once human and animal shelters, are contemporary meeting points, where fossils recount previous life conditions.
The cave bear, 40,000 years ago, leaves its traces. Numerous fossils, of various bear ages, ranging from unborn until very old bears, suggest an environment rich in vegetation. The liquid element of water refreshes the soil with countless living organisms, that coexist in green shades of a healthy vegetation. The air becomes humid and cold, as the sun cannot reach in the dense vegetation so that moisture is evaporated. This is especially difficult in a place where water is dominant.

The colorful weekends : more than $ 3,500 donated to Opération Enfant Soleil!
From September 29th to October 14th, Laurier Québec teamed up with Opération Enfant Soleil to put together The colorful weekends. Throughout these three busy weekends, a giant mural was installed on the ground in the central court so children and adults could color in exchange for donations for the cause. Every weekend, different activities were organized to please the little ones.
A meet-and-greet was organized so families could take pictures with the PJMasks.
Every day, the first 50 families to donate received a family pass for the Aquarium of Quebec. Several mascots were present to take pictures with the children: Doctor Toudoux from Opération Enfant Soleil, Alpi from Le Relais Ski Center and Paq fromt the Aquarium of Quebec.
Chase and Marcus, two famous members of the PAW Patrol, were available on a rotational basis to take pictures with the families.
Thanks to the generosity of its clientele, Laurier Québec was able to raise more than $ 3,500 for Opération Enfant Soleil during The colorful weekends.
As is the tradition, Laurier Québec also invited the kids' heroes to visit the Centre Mère-Enfant at the CHUL Hospital. Chase and Marcus crossed Laurier Boulevard to spend quality time with sick children and their families. The centre's proximity to the hospital and the generosity of Laurier Québec's partners always create magical moments for children who are unable to participate in events at the mall.
Over the past 17 years, Laurier donated nearly $ 400,000 to Opération Enfant Soleil through various activities, including several golf tournaments. This amazing organization provides pediatric hospitals with funds to help them give pioneering care to sick children in terms of physical, mental and social health.
The colorful weekends were definitely successful. This initiative really made it possible to put a smile on the face of many children!


Virtually every website nowadays has a need to authenticate or identify users in some manner. It's a very important issue especially for e-commerce servers though most websites track their visitors for a variety of reasons.
In the physical world, it's usually quite straight forward – authentication is often a trivial exercise which we take for granted. You may use a security pass to enter a car park or place of work and then use your library card to borrow books. Using physical credentials like a pass or card is a straight forward way of proving your identity. You can enter a building because you have physical possession of the correct pass, you can take money from the ATM because you posses the bank card.
When you're online is slightly harder to use physical credentials in the traditional sense. The security guard can see your photographic pass, but the website can't. The standard premise of presenting some sort of credential is still possible yet the authentication method has to be different.
There are lots of similarities online, you can still use many authentication methods that are used in the physical world using the same basic concepts.
All these are known as authentication factors, and basically the higher the level of security the more of these will be incorporated. If you've ever heard the term – two factor authentication well it's referring to these requirements. A standard cash machine or ATM for example usually requires two different factors of authentication. To get you cash out you need a bank card (something you have) and a PIN code (something you know) in order to get money from the machine. Unless you have both, you won't be successful.
It's often the physical possession that is difficult online. As although it's perfectly possible to supply a visitor with some sort of physical card there's inevitably a delay and a cost involved to do so. One of the standard alternatives online to physical authentication credentials is something called the cookie. It's an expression we've all probably heard but I guarantee that the majority of people will be unaware of the huge power of this particular form of identification.
So we've all heard the expression but what exactly is a cookie? There are lots of definitions around but perhaps the simplest is that it is a transaction ID. In reality it's a little more as it can be an identifier, or a token of agreement between two or more systems co-operating (such as the web host and your browser).
In the physical world there are many parallels. It's very similar for example to leaving something for dry cleaning, you leave the item and receive a ticket in return. That ticket is only useful for one thing to retrieve your clothes when they ave been cleaned. A cookie is just like that ticket but in digital form, a simple record of a specific visit or transaction.
That's all a cookie really is, a digital ticket recording the details of your visit. Have you ever clicked through on an advert or a web page on a particular subject? Then found yourself besieged by adverts or links to products related to that? This is because the information is stored in cookies and exchanged between browsers and web servers all the time. They link your interests, transactions and activities in the digital world and unfortunately that information is shared all over the place.
Let's say you visit a web site for the first time – perhaps to catch up on some TV – www.uktvabroad.co.uk. Now the owners of this web site want to keep track of their visitors so they have configured their servers to pass a cookie on to each visitor. Don't think badly of them, as virtually every website now does exactly the same. It's nothing dangerous, simply an innocuous little text file with some unique information about your visit. The browser stores this file on your computer, and this file will be accessed and updated on every subsequent visit.
Well, I say computer but of course we all use loads of different devices to access the internet nowadays. You'll find cookies stored and used by all sorts of device. They certainly are alive and well on mobile phones as you'll notice if you use these to browse the web. You can also block and control using intermediate servers too, using mobile proxies can be useful to protect your identity in these circumstance.
Server asks my browser to store some information.
It's important to remember that there is a strict code for cookies, they contain just information. There should never be any code included or should they be given any access to the computer. The primary aim is to identify subsequent visits by the same user over time. HTTP can't normally do this because it is a stateless protocol.
Cookies will generally make your online life much easier. They'll remember who your are. They'll help fill in your address or prompt you with your username. They'll even direct you to areas that you found interesting on your last visit.
There's no point hiding your IP address by using ATC proxies if cookies are registering your every visit and activity. However blocking them or deleting them are relatively simple if anonymity is more important than functionality.

Vote-PAD Rocks the Disabled Vote
The Vote-PAD system includes an opaque, sliding "privacy shield" that sits in a pocket inside a cover and slides partway out to conceal the ballot as it is being deposited in a ballot box or precinct scanner.
Image: Courtesy of Vote-PAD
Touch-screen ballot machines billed as the ideal solution for disabled voters are facing unexpected competition from a newly designed system using inexpensive plastic sleeves and paper.
Called the Voting-on-Paper Assistive Device, or Vote-PAD, the device has won high marks from some advocates for the disabled, and has already been selected for use in California's Yolo County in order to meet federal voting-accessibility requirements.
With Vote-PAD, poll workers fit specially designed sleeves over paper ballots. Audio instructions guide visually impaired voters to bumps on the plastic next to each race. Holes in the sleeve corresponding to ovals on the ballot allow voters to mark the ballot with a pencil or pen without going outside the oval. Afterward, voters can run a specially designed LED wand over the ovals to verify their choices.
"This is a very generic, very simple solution," said Freddie Oakley, Yolo County's registrar of voters. "We don't have to train poll workers to do anything complicated."
The Help America Vote Act, or HAVA, requires states to have at least one accessible voting system at each polling place by this year's federal elections. Makers of touch-screen voting machines have long touted their devices as the best solution because they come with audio capability and Braille-embossed keyboards for visually impaired voters. But some movement-impaired voters have complained that the machines are difficult for them to use.
Vote-PAD designer Ellen Theisen is a voting activist who founded and until recently ran VotersUnite, a group that opposes touch-screen systems on security grounds. She said the device could save counties millions of dollars as they bring polling stations into compliance with HAVA.
"I was concerned that counties were spending a lot of money to purchase accessible machines that weren't really accessible to everyone," she said.
Yolo County, for example, was looking at spending $250,000 just to design storage space to house the accessible optical-scan machines it was considering purchasing for each precinct, on top of the thousands it would have cost for each machine. Vote-PAD, by comparison, costs $2,000 per polling precinct, which includes software to create audio instructions and enough sleeves to last a precinct five years.
Vote-PAD works for both hand-counted ballots and optical-scan paper ballots that pass through an electronic reader. One drawback is that the system is better for small counties than large populations that speak multiple languages.
AJ Devies, a member of Handicapped Adults of Volusia County in Florida, tested Vote-PAD and found it fully accessible.
"People who have a closed fist, which is what happens with cerebral palsy or arthritis or after a stroke, often overlap onto another area when they go to touch a place on a touch screen," she said. The machine either records their vote incorrectly or fails to record a vote at all.
"What we found (with Vote-PAD) is that it allows them to darken the circle without going outside the lines because of the thickness of the ballot sleeve," Devies said.

Q: Foundation Sticky-top-bar is NOT WORKING I am creating a site with foundation 5. I have a page in which I would like a secondary navigation bar to scroll with the page until it reaches the bottom of the primary navigation, then snap into place and 'stick' while the user scrolls, effectively adding 'fixed' to the top-bar when it reaches that point. This functionality is described AND demonstrated exactly in the foundation documentation in the sticky top-bar section (see following link).
http://foundation.zurb.com/docs/components/topbar.html
PROBLEM: I am unable to implement this behavior in my site, even if I copy and paste the sticky top-bar code directly from the working example in the above link. All other elements of top-bar are functioning and the console shows no errors. I have demonstrated the issue in a plunkr:
http://embed.plnkr.co/cRdYV5tobUZsd6q2NQxT/preview
please help me understand the issue. Thank you in advance.
Specifications:
Foundation version: 5.5.0
jQuery: 2.1.0
//TOP-BAR CODE, SAME CODE AS IN PLUNKR

Sticky Top Bar

Menu

Main Item 1

UPDATE
Updated plunkr with proper links: http://plnkr.co/edit/8OPKh2sbSn6iq5aN6HF0
My issue was where I was calling
$(document).foundation()
as this is an Angular application, I ended up calling it in
app.run
which worked.

A: Add this script at the bottom of your page ;)

A: There is a problem with your plunkr site. When the page is loaded the top-bar.js file is not loaded, so this example will never work.
The browser console shows the error - Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://run.plnkr.co/plunks/cRdYV5tobUZsd6q2NQxT/top-bar.js
You need to update the link to ensure the top-bar.js file is loaded.

The foundation website says Just add foundation.topbar.js AFTER the
  foundation.js file. Your markup should look something like this:

A: Few stuff to  corrected

*

*make sure  tag or the div that wrap your navigation  is direct child
of body tag (this important)!

*make sure the direct parent; (body) has no overflow property on it
The rest is normal
if you are using bootsrap 4 :-add sticky-top as usual or you can use
separate javascript tooo will work !!

Background: We examined the impact of the type of collateral vessel used on the outcomes of retrograde chronic total occlusion (CTO) percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Methods: The baseline clinical and angiographic characteristics and procedural outcomes of 704 retrograde CTO PCIs performed between 2012 and 2016 at 14 US centers in 700 patients were examined.
Results: Mean patient age was 65.8 ± 10 years, 87% were men. Septal collaterals were used in 63%, epicardial in 35% and bypass grafts in 16% of lesions. Compared with cases in which only septal collaterals and saphenous vein grafts were used, use of epicardial collaterals were associated with longer occlusion length (40 [25; 68] vs. 38 [23; 60] mm, p=0.015), more moderate/severe tortuosity (52% vs. 41%, p=0.009), and higher Japanese total occlusion scores (3.37 ± 0.95 vs. 3.06 ± 1.03, p<0.0001). Epicardial collateral use was associated with lower technical (77.5% vs. 86.1%, p=0.004) and procedural (72.4% vs. 82.3%, p=0.002) success rates, but similar incidence of major cardiac adverse events (4.53% vs. 5.69%, p=0.513). Epicardial collateral use was also associated with longer fluoroscopy time (80 [59; 106] vs. 73 [52; 102] min, p=0.010) and larger contrast volume (310 [240; 450] ml vs. 300 [215; 400] ml, p=0.016).
Conclusions: In a contemporary, multicenter registry epicardial collaterals were used in approximately one-third of retrograde CTO PCIs. Use of epicardial collaterals was associated with lower success but similar complication rates.

Baha'i life in Iran
Bahaismiran: One of the proselytizing issues of the deviant cult of Baha'ism is the statistics by the center of census of Iran in 1385 (2006), the total number of population in Iran was 70,495,782 out of which 70,097,741 people were Muslims, 19,823 the Zoroastrians, 109,415 the Christians, 9,252 the Jewish, other religion: 54,234 and 205,317 were expressed.
The statistics related to 1390 (2011) are as follows:
The Muslims: 74,682,842
The Christians: 117,704
The Jewish: 8,756
The Zoroastrian: 25,271
Other: 49,101
Unexpressed: 265,995
Because of the lack of the formal statistics by the Baha'is, the exact number isn't existed. The Baha'i heads want to exaggerate about the number of Baha'is in the country.
According to the results of the public census, the number of Baha'is in 1375 (1996) has been less than 0.25 percent out of the total number of population. This census increased in 1385; that is, 0.37 percent. This census isn't correspondent with the Baha'i one.
Based on the comparison done on the published census by the Iranian center for census, during the years prior 1375 (1996), less than 40,000 Baha'is were living in Iran; but the universal house of justice (the center for the Baha'i organization located at Israel) has announced this statistics as 300,000 people. It can be said that the number of Baha'is in Iran in the years 1375 (1996) and 1385 (2006) being estimated as nearly 25 to 40 thousand people if the Baha'i shares out of the column of unexpressed is 15 percent. (refer to the website of the Iranian census center)
A website has written about the population of the deviant cult of Baha'ism:
According to the Baha'i texts, Abdul Baha pretended to be a Muslim in Palestine. He was participating in Friday prayer and pretended to be bound with the Islamic commandments in order to live confortably…
The experts have emphasized that the Baha'i organization has continually insisted on exaggeration during the previous decades.
In order to achieve this aim, the Baha'is are ordered by the organization to write the word Baha'i or other in the religion column.
Anyway, it can be observed that their census isn't right at all in the years 1375 (1996) and 1385 (2006).
According to the Iranian census center, the other and unexpressed columns in 1375 (1996) consisted of 147,295 people out of 60,055,488 total population of Iran (That is 0.25 percent comparing 99.56 percent of Muslims) and in 1385 (2006) consisted of 263,199 people out of 70,472,846 total population of Iran (That is 0.37 percent comparing 99.43 percent of Muslims)!
Meanwhile, this census consists of those who haven't desired to express their religions. It can be estimated that the total number of Baha'is during the years 1375 (1996) and 1385 (2006) is nearly 25 to 40 thousand while the universal house of justice claimed the number is 300,000 ones.
It can be also said that some Baha'is have pretended to be Muslims due to their benefits like Abdul Baha who pretended to be Muslim when he was in Palestine and participated in Muslim Friday prayers in order live comfortably.

Canadian (Baha'i) deported for illegal business in China
Masoud Khajeh-Sharafabadi (aka Sam Sharp)
Wang Weilan, Chen Zhongqun
SAM SHARP a Canadian English-language trainer, was deported by the Shenzhen police Sept. 13 for running an illegal business, ' the police announced yesterday.
Sharp obtained a business license from the Bao'an industrial and commercial administration bureau and opened a translation company in the district in April 1999. But the company was not successful.
He then rented a classroom and established a foreign-language training center in November 1999, without approval from the bureau, the police said in a news release.
Sharp had not obtained a work permit and had not applied for a change of business permit either, according to the police. However, more than 800 students had been trained by the center before he was deported.
Sharp never registered his residence with the police station as required by law.
Bao'an police imposed a fine of 1,500 yuan (US$187) on him July 21. The Exit-Entry Administration of the Shenzhen Municipal Public Security Bureau canceled his visa Aug. 4, and demanded he leave China before Aug. 14.
Sharp refused to get his passport and a temporary visa from the administration, nor did he respond to the administration's summons. The bureau then detained him Aug. 30 for "despising Chinese laws," and "disturbing the normal order of exit and entry." He was deported Sept. 13.

Two Canadian Baha'is Mr. Massoud Sharaf and his brother Mr. Soheil Sharaf, (aka Sam Sharp and Steve Sha), who were working for Baha'i committee for china were involved in recruiting Baha'is to teach English language to the Chinese people and then finally teaching them Baha'i Faith and converting them to Baha'i cult.
The Sharafs came in 2006 to China in the disguised of recruiting English teaching to Chinese people. After a long series of events the Sharaf brothers were detained on 30 August 2006 for "despising Chinese law" and "disturbing the normal order of exit and entry" and finally they were deported on 13 September 2006.
As appeared in the English language daily edition of the Shenzhen Daily newspaper, on 28 September 2006.
The Sam brothers were organizing Baha'i pioneers to China to teach Chinese citizen English language then in the process they use to deceptively teach them Baha'i 'Religion' and convert them to Baha'i cult. The two brothers were working for Baha'i committee for China that receives its orders from the International Teaching Center and Universal House of Justice based in Haifa, Israel.

Bahá'í Faith and slavery (An example of how Baha'is control information on Wikipedia)
By : A35821361
I had created a new Wikipedia article titled "Bahá'í Faith and slavery" and created a new header in the "Criticism of the Bahá'í Faith" article that links to it. Less than 12 hours since posting, Bahá'í editors on Wikipedia who use the site to promulgate the Bahá'í Faith were already threatening to delete the article. (The article has been totally changed in favor of Baha'is)
Original entry on Wikipedia by A35821361
As on September 5, 2016
Both the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh owned slaves of African descent. While the Báb purchased several slaves, Bahá'u'lláh acquired his through inheritance. Bahá'u'lláh officially condemned slavery in 1874, by which time he had actually sold a slave to pay debts. References are made to these slaves in such works as 'Abdu'l-Bahá's Promulgation of Universal Peace,[1] Lady Blomfield's The Chosen Highway,[2] and Nabíl-i-A`zam's The Dawn-Breakers.[3] The details of some of the Báb and Bahá'u'lláh's African servants are chronicled in Black Pearls,[4] a book that, despite efforts at censorship by the Bahá'í Administrative Order, was published by the independent Bahá'í publishing company Kalimát Press.

Hájí Mubárak- purchased at the age of 5 years old by Hájí Mírzá Abú'l-Qásím, the great-grandfather of Shoghi Effendi and brother-in-law of the Báb, Hájí Mubárak was sold to the Báb in 1842 at the age of 19 for fourteen tomans.[5] Nabíl-i-A`zam relates in The Dawn-Breakers that Mullá Husayn, the first Letters of the Living, was welcomed at the Báb's mansion by Hájí Mubárak.[3] Hájí Mubárak died at about the age of 40 and is buried in the grounds of the Imam Husayn Shrine in Karbala, Iraq.[6]
Fiddih- acquired by the Báb when she was no older than 7 years of age, Fiddih served the Báb's wife Khadíjih-Bagum.[7][8] Fiddih would die the same night as her master.[9]
Isfandíyár- a servant in Bahá'u'lláh's house in Tehran,[2][10] Isfandíyár passed away in Mazandaran [11][12]
Masúd- initially purchased as a youth by Khál-i Akbar, an uncle of the Báb, Masúd would serve Bahá'u'lláh in Acre.[13]

Now see this Baha'i modified version as from 26 September 2016
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bah%C3%A1%27%C3%AD_Faith_and_slavery
The original contributor (A35821361), regarding the policies of Baha'is says :
This is true for virtually every article on Wikipedia relating to the Baha'i Faith. Notice they have removed the list of some of their slaves. They did this, I believe, because enumerating and humanizing the Bab and Bahaullah's numerous slaves contextualizes the degree to which they were slave masters.
Other articles in Wikipedia relating to Baha'i topics have fared as much editorial censorship if not more. The article on Baha'i prophecies does not list the obviously failed ones, but vague ones remain as if having been fulfilled. No reference to the Lesser Peace being expected the last century, Abdul Baha saying the Guradianship would continue in perpetuity, etc. Other examples abound, like Avarih's having left the Faith due to his finding Shoghi in compromising romantic situations, Bahaullah's encouraging violence against followers of Subhi Azal. Or that many of the Baha'i holy sites were expropriated from Muslim waqfs after the establishment of the state of Israel.
I could go on, the point is there is a cadre dedicated to nothing other than editing Wikipedia articles to eliminate facts, truths, call them what you will, that compromise the official narrative. Ultimately, Wikipedia for them is another mechanism to proselytize.
American NSA begs for funds
To the American Bahá'í community for the Feast of Mashíyyat
Dearly loved Friends,
Nineteen years have passed since, in May 1997, the Universal House of Justice introduced the Bahá'í world to the new institution of Regional Bahá'í Councils―created to meet the needs of an evolving global community and invested with great promise to facilitate our efforts to decentralize and move closer to the grass roots the coordination of the friends' efforts to teach. Later that same year, our national community was among the first to elect four such Councils, each of them corresponding to one of the four regions addressed by 'Abdu'l-Bahá in the Tablets of the Divine Plan.
Over the course of these years―through the increasing part they have played in the victorious prosecution of three Five Year Plans―the Councils have gained experience, skill, wisdom, and maturity. As they have grown, so have their formidable tasks and responsibilities become wider ranging and more complex―to the extent that we have, with the Supreme Institution's consent, successively increased their number from four to six to ten, and, most recently, to 12, at the same time drawing tighter and closer to them the boundaries of their respective regions. We fully expect this development to increase the Councils' effectiveness in enabling the friends in cluster after cluster to successfully shoulder the "herculean labor" that will be necessary to fulfill the goals of the current Five Year Plan, enabling us to conclude this first century of the Faith's Formative Age triumphantly, with a significant advancement in the process of entry by troops to lay at the feet of our beloved Master.
Though the Councils are working toward the development of their own ability to raise funds, at present they continue to rely to a great extent on our National Fund to finance their all-important activities. When we understand that it is they who recruit, place, and provide modest financial assistance to young people volunteering to pioneer in key clusters, they who encourage the formation and travels of mobile teaching teams, they who empower and oversee the work of their Regional Training Institutes and cluster agencies, they who are engaged in responding to inquirers and in much gathering of data, they who bring together at timely intervals members of the Faith's various institutions to reflect and consult on regional progress, it is not difficult to see why providing each of the 12 Councils with a generous allotment of our precious Funds is both a necessity and a sound investment.
For all this work so critical to the progress of the Plan to proceed unhindered, funds must be readily available when needed. This is why we have established milestones measuring our progress toward our National Fund goal at quarterly intervals throughout the fiscal year.
At present, with about five months of the fiscal year already behind us, our contributions stand at $9.1 million, about 26 percent of our National Fund goal of $35 million. Without a concerted effort to achieve the $14.7 million expected at the year's midpoint on October 31, we could enter the second half of the fiscal year with contributions lagging significantly behind, once again creating for ourselves an urgent situation requiring extraordinary measures to remedy.
Dearest friends, the challenges of the current Plan will be with us for some time to come; if they are to be successfully surmounted, the multitude of vital activities taking place in the 12 regions of the country must be maintained. As a letter written on behalf of the beloved Guardian, Shoghi Effendi, so aptly puts it:
"The Guardian would advise your Assembly to continue impressing upon the believers the necessity of their contributing regularly to the [N]ational [F]und. . . . Nothing short of a continuous flow of contributions to that [F]und can, indeed, ensure the financial stability upon which so much of the progress of the institutions of the Faith must now inevitably depend."
We turn to you, members of a community characterized by a loving Guardian as "the outstanding protagonists of the Cause of God," confident in your readiness―so often and so remarkably demonstrated―to respond, at any hour, to the pressing needs of that Cause. Let us, with a fresh outpouring of contributions to our National Fund, ensure that the exciting community-building work taking place in scores of clusters across the nation continues, without abatement, to be encouraged, aided, and stewarded by our highly capable 12 Regional Bahá'í Councils.
Our love and prayers for your happiness, well-being, and great success surround you at all times.
With loving Bahá'í greetings,
NATIONAL SPIRITUAL ASSEMBLY OF THE BAHÁ'ÍS OF THE UNITED STATES

Baha'i Trend exposed by Google Trends !
Courtesy : Google Trends
Some interesting facts, thanks to Google Trends :
• Iran is the most interested country with Search Interest 100. The most interested city in Iran is Qom! Imagine why ;-) ?
• Israel - 4th
• Australia - 11th
• Canada - 13th
• Pakistan - 15th
• Saudi Arabia - 16th
• United States - 19th
• India does not stand in the first 25 interested countries ! But according to Baha'is this is the country with largest Baha'i population. Latest Indian Census Data (2011) released in 2016 puts the Baha'i figure at 4572. What a Shame !
Baha'i 'religion' losing the race. From 2004 to 2016 interest in the Baha'i cult declined most. Google Trends.
The graph is self explanatory.
Here are some comments by Haifan Baha'is.
Steve Cooney :
It probably represents declining interest in the Bahai Faith vis a vis other things like Pokemon Kanye etc. This is not a new trend The Bahai Faith has been in decline esp in the West for quite a while Blogging activity is another downward trend. If it weren't for paid bloggers the Bahai Faith would be invisible in the blogosphere. The Bahai World Centre cannot find volunteers for hundreds of unfilled positions. There is no wait list for pilgrimage now you can go on demand pretty much. The number of publications on the BF has been declining especially since 2001. There are however some signs of a grass roots renewal in the under 30 demographic. None of this is really a surprise....
Don Calkins :
I think there is a strong correlation in the U.S. w/ the way Ruhi and the Core Activities were implemented. People were told to stop doing the things they had been doing that attracted people to the Faith. Enrollments have plummeted. Enrollments had been in a decline in 2000 for around 15 years, but they really took a nose dive soon thereafter.
Enrollments in 94 when the USNSA met w/ the House of Justice was about 130 per month. 2000 they were down to about 100, around 2003/4 they were down to around 75 and the last 5 years or so have rarely been over about 55, currently running below 50. If you have access to old TAB you can track this via monthly stats.
Another indicator is the number of Baha'is noted in various newspaper by non-Baha'i organizations as Baha'is for their community involvement. I used to track it via google and brag about it. We were running several a month, sometimes more and they quickly nearly stopped. Since about 2003 we rarely have move than a couple per year.
This should not be blamed entirely on Ruhi. The religious well is being poisoned by religious right rhetoric. The true silent majority is quietly walking way from all religion. And they are not going to be particularly impressed by Ruhi or the Core Activities.
It is not an issue of which is more important or effective. that is a bogus discussion. IMO Ruhi and the Core Activities were supposed to be an additional level of functioning, not a replacement. While the House of Justice has indicated this older type of activity is needed, we have lost 20 years of experience and good will, experience and good will that could have been used to feed into the Core Activities. and it is prob going to take a lot longer than that to get it back.....
Robert Moldenhauer :
Australia is similar to the US. Enrolment has been dropping for years. It dropped below 100 per year the previous year and recovered to 124 last year. Even adding in youth reaffirmations the net is still negative.
The trend in Australia has been the slow replacement of the (mainly white) Baha'is with Persians. My old community (Parramatta) had about 500 members in 1980 with no Persians. It now has a membership of about 500 with 1 non-Persian.
What a Joke !? Baha'is of India identify themselves as Muslims due to persecution !
Shoeb Khan | TNN | Sep 10, 2016, 11.36 AM IST
JAIPUR: The state has just one registered Jew and about 85 Parsis among its population of 6.85 crore, as per the Census report on other religions released recently.
Parsis, who set foot in this region during the British era over a century ago, are on the verge of `extinction' in the state. Both these ethnic minority have their roots in Ajmer, Merwara, which was directly under the colonial rule.
In a surprise, Rajasthan also has 50 persons who identified themselves as members of Natural Religion (religion of nature), which follows Native American traditions.
However, none of them could be traced. Pushkar in Ajmer has a rich history of Jews which goes back to the period before the founding of Israel (1948).
Over the past few decades, the number of Jews outnumbers other foreign tourists in Pushkar. It's also home to one of the nine Chabads (religious centre of Jews) in the county , where Jewish festivals are still celebrated.
Though TOI tried to track the lone Jewish person registered as a Rajasthan national, he couldn't be traced. The Jewish population is barely above 500 in the country. Parsis, known for their business acumen, came to Ajmer to establish the railways from Gujarat and Bombay . They numbered 300 during the period between 1870 and 1890. With the Parsi population fast declining in the country , their numbers have dwindled to 85 in 2011.
Adarbad Motafram, a lone priest living in Ajmer and a caretaker of the fire temple, says, "Barely 20-21families from my community are left in Rajasthan. Ajmer has nine families, Udaipur five, Jaipur three, Jodhpur and Kota one each.We gather during our festivals, with Nowruz the most popular." Motafram is a geography professor at the Government College of Ajmer.
Buddhism, which had flourished in Hadoti region, has only about 12,000 followers in the state now. The Buddhist monasteries or complexes at four places -Bhairat in Alwar, Kholvi in Jhalawar, Bandarez in Dausa and Ramgoan in Tonk -testifies to the strong presence of Budhism in this region, which has disappeared with time.
Discovered by the Archaeological Survey of India's (ASI) first director-general Alexander Cunningham in the late 18th century , these historical sites are today crying for attention from the state.
Baha'i, considered one of the most persecuted religions, also has its presence in Rajasthan, in Jaipur. They often hit the headlines for being persecuted in Iran and Turkey . Figures say that the state has 18 Baha'is. They also have a religious centre in Sanganer which faced attacks in 2015 over the ownership of property . Most of their religious practices are identical to Islam, and names similar to Muslim names. Baha'i religious leaders claimed they have followers numbering to about 20,000 in the state."Due to persecution, we identify ourselves as Muslims," said a Baha'i leader, requesting anonymity.

The Spiritual Assembly of
the Bahá'ís of Singapore
Dear Bahá'í Friends,
The Universal House of Justice has received your letter dated 2 November 2009, together with its enclosures, regarding the further actions of Mr. Jamshed Fozdar. His latest communication to your Assembly is indeed highly regrettable. Your Assembly should write to him to say that it has nothing further to add to what was conveyed to him in your letter of 15 October 2009 and to urge him to reflect upon the guidance it contained.
The House of Justice has also noted Mr. Fozdar's actions in sending critical and contentious messages to Bahá'í institutions and agencies in Singapore. It is confident that your Assembly will assist them not to be disheartened by such communications and remind them that there is nothing to be gained by attempting to engage in a dialogue with the writer. Rather they can be encouraged to move forward with vital work of the Cause within the framework of the Five Year Plan, turning their faces to the Abhá Beauty and trusting in His unfailing care and protection.

The Birmingham Royal Institution for the Blind (BRIB) is a registered charity institute in the United Kingdom which oversees the work of three distinct charities in the Birmingham area:

 Focus Birmingham provides day-to-day services to the visually impaired and their care givers, including telephone help lines, rehabilitation services, social services, etc.
 Queen Alexandra College is a specialist, independent residential college for young people with disabilities; specialists in visual impairment and autism.
 New Outlook Housing provide accommodation facilities to the blind and visually impaired.

History
In 1846, founders Elizabeth Bache Harrold and Mary Badger rented a small home and opened it as a school for the blind, beginning with just six students.  Over the years, the organization grew in size and success, placing blind graduates in various positions which had previously been closed to the blind.  In 1848, the little school was officially named the "Birmingham Institution for the Blind".  In 1909, King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra visited the institution, and conferred their royal patronage.  At this time, the institution became formally known as "The Birmingham Royal Institution for the Blind".

In 1985, the Birmingham Royal Institution for the Blind was incorporated under the laws of Great Britain and assumed all financial and operational activities of the previously unincorporated charity.  In 1997, the operations of the Queen Alexandra College and Birmingham Focus on Blindness (later Focus Birmingham) were launched as independent charitable companies that still receive support from BRIB.
