Tohoshinki and Ayumi Hamasaki at A-Nation 2009 on Aug 1st 2009

Tohoshinki will appear in a joint performance along with Japanese top singer, Ayumi Hamasaki.

The joint stage will take place in A-Nation 2009 on August 1st where Tohoshinki is participating to meet their local fans. Ever since A-Nation 2002, it’s been known that AVEX, one of Japan’s largest agencies which becomes Tohoshinki and Ayumi Hamasaki’s agency, has culture of joining its singers for a collaboration stage.

Just released in A-Nation 2009 official website, one of line up performances is including joint stage of Tohoshinki and Ayumi Hamasaki while the other performers are Koda Kumi, TRF, AAA, and other singers whom some of are not yet published.

A-Nation 2009 on August 1st will be held at Nagai Stadium, Kumamoto country park, Osaka and becomes the start of total 7 A-Nation 2009 shows all over the country. Tohoshinki will perform at 6 out of 7 shows. Tohoshinki has been participating since A-Nation 2006 “Come On - The Nation”.

Meanwhile, it’s already launched last month that Tohoshiki’s The Secret Code finale tour on July 4th and 5th will be held at the great Tokyo Dome.

The experiments on which I shall report today seem to lead to conclusions which are in contradiction to the common interpretation of the Michelson-Morley experiment. To make the story complete, I shall start with the conclusion of the experiments performed by Michelson and Morley in 1887, in Cleveland, which were interpreted as giving no indication of an ether drift. Dr. Lorentz, in 1895, proposed the first explanation for this unexpected result by assuming that the motion of translation of a solid through the ether might produce a contraction in the direction of the motion, with extension transversely, the amount of which is proportional to the square of the ratio of the velocities of translation and of light, and which might have a magnitude such as to annul the effect of the ether drift in the Michelson-Morley interferometer. The optical dimensions of this instrument were determined by the base of sandstone on which the mirrors were supported. If the contraction depends upon the physical properties of the solid, it was suggested that pine timber would suffer greater compression than sandstone, while steel might be compressed in a lesser degree. If the compression annuls the expected effect in one apparatus, it might in another apparatus give place to an effect other than zero, perhaps with the contrary sign.

At the International Congress of Physics, held in Paris in 1900, Lord Kelvin gave an address in which he considered theories of the ether. He remarked that “the only cloud in the clear sky of the theory was the null result of the Michelson-Morley experiment.” Professor Morley and the writer were present, and in conversation Lord Kelvin expressed the conviction that the experiment should be repeated with a more sensitive apparatus. The writer, in collaboration with Professor Morley, constructed an interferometer about four times as sensitive as the one used in the first experiment, having a light-path of 214 feet, equal to about 130,000,000 wavelengths. In this instrument a relative velocity of the earth and ether equal to the earth’s orbital velocity would be indicated by a displacement of the interference fringes equal to 1.1 fringes. This is the size of the instrument which has been used ever since. The optical

parts were all new, and nothing was used from the original apparatus excepting the mercury tank and its wooden float.

Such an instrument with a base made of planks of pine wood was used at Cleveland, in 1902, 1903, and 1904, for the purpose of directly testing the Lorentz-FitzGerald effect, but the changes in the wooden frame due to the variations in humidity and temperature made it difficult to obtain accurate observations. A new supporting frame was designed by Professor F. H. Neff, of the department of civil engineering of the Case School of Applied Science, the purpose being to secure both symmetry and rigidity. This frame, or base, was made of structural steel and was so arranged that the optical dimensions could be made to depend upon distance-pieces of wood, or upon the steel frame itself. Observations were made with this apparatus in 1904. The procedure was based upon the effect to be expected from the combination of the diurnal and annual motions of the earth, together with the presumed motion of the solar system toward the constellation Hercules with a velocity of 19 km/sec. On the dates chosen for the observations there were two times of the day when the resultant of these motions would lie in the plane of the interferometer, about 11:30 a.m. and 9:00 p.m. The calculated azimuths of the motion would be different for these two times. The observations at these two times were, therefore, combined in such a way that the presumed azimuth for the morning observations coincided with that for the evening. The observations for the two times of day gave results having positive magnitudes but nearly opposite phases; when these were combined, the result was nearly zero. The result, therefore, was opposed to the theory then under consideration; but according to the ideas which will be set forth later in this address it now seems that the superposition of the two sets of observations of different phases was based upon an erroneous hypothesis and that the positive results then obtained are in accordance with a new hypothesis as to the solar motion. Our report of these experiments published in the Philosophical Magazine for May, 1905, concludes with the following statement: “Some have thought that this experiment only proves that the ether in a certain basement room is carried along with it. We desire therefore to place the apparatus on a hill to see if an effect can be there detected/’

As an important factor I may mention the state of mind in

Wadsleyite Explained

System:Orthorhombic (Horiuchi and Sawamoto, 1981)
Class:Dipyramidal (mmm)
H-M symbol: (2/m 2/m 2/m)
Unit Cell:a = 5.7 Å, b = 11.71 Å
c = 8.24 Å; Z = 8
Color:Dark green
Habit:Microcrystalline aggregates
Gravity:3.84 calculated
Refractive:n = 1.76
References:[1] [2] [3] [4]

Wadsleyite is a high-pressure phase of polymorphous Mg2SiO4. An orthorhombic mineral with the formula β-Mg2SiO4, it was first found in nature in the Peace River meteorite from Alberta, Canada. It is formed by a phase transformation from forsterite (α-Mg2SiO4) under increasing pressure and eventually transforms into spinel-structured ringwoodite (γ-Mg2SiO4) as pressure increases further. The structure can take up a limited amount of other bivalent cations instead of magnesium, but contrary to the α and γ structures, a β structure with the sum formula Fe2SiO4 is not thermodynamically stable. Its cell parameters are approximately a = 5.7 Å, b = 11.7 Å and c = 8.24 Å.

Wadsleyite is found to be stable in the upper part of the transition zone of the Earth's upper mantle between 410- in depth. Because of oxygens not bound to silicon in the Si2O7 groups of wadsleyite, it leaves some oxygen atoms underbonded, and as a result, these oxygens are hydrated easily, allowing for high concentrations of hydrogen atoms in the mineral. Hydrous wadsleyite is considered a potential site for water storage in the Earth's mantle due to the low electrostatic potential of the underbonded oxygen atoms. Although wadsleyite does not contain H in its chemical formula, it may contain more than 3 percent by weight H2O, and may coexist with a hydrous melt at transition zone pressure-temperature conditions. The solubility of water and the density of wadsleyite depend on the temperature and pressure in the Earth. Furthermore, the transformation resulting in wadsleyite is thought to occur also in the shock event when a meteorite impacts the Earth or another planet at very high velocity.

Wadsleyite was first identified by Ringwood and Major in 1966 and was confirmed to be a stable phase by Akimoto and Sato in 1968. The phase was originally known as β-Mg2SiO4 or “beta-phase”. Wadsleyite was named for mineralogist Arthur David Wadsley (1918–1969).

In values of weight percent oxide, the pure magnesian variety of wadsleyite would be 42.7% SiO2 and 57.3% MgO by mass. An analysis of trace elements in wadsleyite suggests that there are a number of elements included in it. Results demonstrate traces of rubidium (Rb), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), titanium (Ti), zirconium (Zr), niobium (Nb), hafnium (Hf), tantalum (Ta), thorium (Th), and uranium (U) in wadsleyite and suggest that the concentrations of these elements could be larger than what has been supposed in the transition zone of Earth's upper mantle. Moreover, these results help in understanding chemical differentiation and magmatism inside the Earth (Mibe et al. 2006).

Although nominally anhydrous, wadsleyite can incorporate more than 3 percent by weight H2O, which means that it is capable of incorporating more water than Earth's oceans and may be a significant reservoir for H (or water) in the Earth's interior.

Geologic occurrence

Wadsleyite was found in the Peace River meteorite, an L6 hypersthene-olivine chondrite from Peace River, Alberta, Canada. The wadsleyite in this meteorite is believed to have formed at high pressure during the shock event related to the impact on Earth from the olivine in sulfide-rich veins of the meteorite. It occurs as microcrystalline rock fragments, often not surpassing 0.5mm in diameter (van de Moortèle et al. 2007; Price et al. 1983).

Wadsleyite is a spinelloid, and the structure is based on a distorted cubic-closest packing of oxygen atoms as are the spinels. The a-axis and the b-axis is the half diagonal of the spinel unit. The magnesium and the silicon are completely ordered in the structure. There are three distinct octahedral sites, M1, M2, and M3, and a single tetrahedral site. Wadsleyite is a sorosilicate in which Si2O7 groups are present (Ashbrook et al. 2006). There are four distinct oxygen atoms in the structure. O2 is a bridging oxygen shared between two tetrahedra, and O1 is a non-silicate oxygen (not bonded to Si). The potentially hydrated O1 atom lies at the center of four edge-sharing Mg2+ octahedra (Smyth, 1987, 1994). If this oxygen is hydrated (protonated), a Mg vacancy can occur at M3. If water incorporation exceeds about 1.5% the M3 vacancies can order in violation of space group Imma, reducing the symmetry to monoclinic I2/m with beta angle up to 90.4º.

Wadsleyite II is a separate spinelloid phase with both a single (SiO4) and double (Si2O7) tetrahedral units. It is a magnesium-iron silicate with variable composition that might occur between the stability regions of wadsleyite and ringwoodite γ-Mg2SiO4 (Kleppe, 2006), but computational models suggest that at least the pure magnesian form is not stable (Tokár et al. 2013). One-fifth of the silicon atom is in isolated tetrahedral and four-fifths is in Si2O7 groups so that the structure can be thought of as a mixture of one-fifth spinel and four-fifths wadsleyite (Horiuchi and Sawamoto, 1981).

Crystallography and physical properties

Wadsleyite crystallizes in the orthorhombic crystal system and has a unit cell volume of 550.00 Å3. Its space group is Imma and its cell parameters are a = 5.6921 Å, b = 11.46 Å and c = 8.253 Å (Price et al. 1983); an independent study found the cell parameters to be a = 5.698 Å, b = 11.438 Å and c = 8.257 Å (Horiuchi and Sawamoto, 1981). Pure magnesian wadsleyite is colorless, but iron-bearing varieties are dark green.

The wadsleyite minerals generally have a microcrystalline texture and are fractured. Because of small crystal size, detailed optical data could not be obtained; however, wadsleyite is anisotropic with low first-order birefringence colors (Price et al. 1983) It is biaxial with a mean refractive index of n = 1.76 and has a calculated specific gravity of 3.84. In X-ray powder diffraction, its strongest points in pattern are: 2.886(50)(040), 2.691(40)(013), 2.452(100,141), 2.038(80)(240), 1.442(80)(244) (Price et al. 1983).

Biographic sketch

Arthur David Wadsley (1918–1969) received the privilege of getting a mineral named after him due to his contributions to geology such as the crystallography of minerals and other inorganic compounds (Price et al. 1983) The proposal to have wadsleyite named after Wadsley was approved by the Commission on New Minerals and Mineral Names of the International Mineralogical Association. The type specimen is now preserved in the collection of the Department of Geology at the University of Alberta.

Eye Injury Prevention Quiz

First Aid & OSHA Regulations
What's more valuable than money?

Saving your company money is worthy but you can save something truly priceless: your eyesight. Each day, more than 2,000 workers suffer eye injuries, many of which are serious. In addition to your personal loss and suffering, your company may also lose thousands of dollars in workers compensation for a disabling injury. It's the kind of situation where everyone loses. There is however, something that can help you drastically reduce eye injuries: promote the adherence to proper safety measures and the widespread use of protective eye-wear. Wear protective eye-wear whenever and wherever required.

What are the causes of most eye injuries?

Metal fragments, tools, particles, chemicals and harmful radiation cause most eye injuries. A survey by the Bureau of Labor Statistics found that three out of five workers who had an eye injury wore no protection. Of those who did, 40%wore the wrong kind.

Should I wear safety glasses with side shields?

The new term is "side protection". (OSHA) rules and regulations require that, "Employees shall use eye protection that provides side protection when there is a hazard from flying objects." For most hazardous jobs, goggles, helmets and face shields should be used in addition to safety glasses with side protection.

Who needs safety eyewear

Anyone exposed to flying particles (wet or dry) in the workplace must wear eye protection. There are different working conditions that require different types of eyewear.

  • IMPACT: Chipping, grinding, machining, masonry work, woodworking, sawing, drilling, chiseling, powered fastening and sanding
  • HEAT: Furnace operations, pouring and casting, hot dipping and welding
  • CHEMICALS: Acid and chemical handling, degreasing and plating
  • DUST: Woodworking, buffing and general dusty conditions
  • WELDING: Gas
  • GLARE: Poor vision

Eye injuries in the workplace are very common. More than 2,000 people injure their eyes at work each day. About 1 in 10 injuries require one or more missed workdays to recover from. Of the total amount of work-related injuries, 10-20% will cause temporary or permanent vision loss.

Experts believe that the right eye protection could have lessened the severity or even prevented 90% of eye injuries in accidents.

What are the common causes of eye injuries?

Common causes for eye injuries are:

  • Flying objects (bits of metal, glass)
  • Tools
  • Particles
  • Chemicals
  • Harmful radiation
  • Any combination of these or other hazards
What is my best defense against an eye injury?

There are three things you can do to help prevent an eye injury

  • Know the eye safety dangers at work-complete an eye hazard assessment
  • Eliminate hazards before starting work. Use machine guarding, work screens, or other engineering controls
  • Use proper eye protection.
When should I protect my eyes at work?

You should wear safety eyewear whenever there is a chance of eye injury. Anyone working in or passing through areas that pose eye hazards should wear protective eyewear.

What type of safety eyewear is available to me?

Safety eyewear protection includes:

  • Non-prescription and prescription safety glasses
  • Goggles
  • Face shields
  • Welding helmets
  • Full-face respirators
What type of safety eye protection should I wear?

The type of safety eye protection you should wear depends on the hazards in your workplace. If you are working in an area that has particles, flying objects, or dust, you must at least wear safety glasses with side protection (side shields). If you are working with chemicals, you should wear goggles. If you are working near hazardous radiation (welding, lasers, or fiber optics) you must use special-purpose safety glasses, goggles, face shields, or helmets designed for that task.

What is the difference between glass, plastic, and polycarbonate safety lenses?

All three types of safety lenses meet or exceed the requirements for protecting your eyes.

Glass lenses

  • Are not easily scratched
  • Can be used around harsh chemicals
  • Can be made in your corrective prescription
  • Are sometimes heavy and uncomfortable

Plastic lenses

  • Are lighter weight
  • Protect against welding splatter
  • Are not likely to fog
  • Are not as scratch-resistant as glass

Polycarbonate lenses

  • Are lightweight
  • Protect against welding splatter
  • Are not likely to fog
  • Are stronger than glass and plastic
  • Are more impact resistant than glass or plastic
  • Are not as scratch resistant as glass

Have you ever gotten something stuck in your eye and didn't know what to do about it? This must-read list of first aid tips will prepare you to handle any eye injuries you may face in the future. A lot goes into keeping your eyes healthy and safe. But here's one important habit many people tend to overlook: Protecting your eyes from injury is extremely important. And wearing eye protection can go a long way toward preventing eye cuts, objects in the eye, blows to the eye, and other dangerous mishaps.

But you may not always be able to protect yourself from eye injuries. In that case, it's important to know what to do when eye trauma does occur.

Object in the Eye: First Aid Causes, Symptoms and Treatment
  • Don't rub the eye since this can scratch the outer surface (cornea) of the eye. You may have to keep small children from rubbing their eyes.
  • Wash your hands before touching the eye.
  • If you wear contact lenses, take your contacts out before you try to remove the object or flush the eye.
  • If an object is over the dark center (pupil) of the eye or over the colored part (iris) of the eye, you may try to flush it out gently with water. If the object does not come out with flushing, wear dark glasses and call your health professional. Do not put any pressure on the eye.
  • If the object is on the white part (sclera) of the eye or inside the lower lid, wet a cotton swab or the tip of a twisted piece of tissue and touch the end of it to the object. The object should cling to the swab or tissue. Some minor irritation is common after you have removed the object in this way.
  • Gently flush the eye with cool water. A clean eyedropper may help. Often the object may be under the upper eyelid and can be removed by lifting the upper lid away and flushing gently.
  • Do not try to remove a piece of metal from your eye, an object that has punctured the eye, or an object stuck on the eye after flushing with water.
  • Never use tweezers, toothpicks, or other hard items to remove any object. Using these items could cause eye damage.
What To Do About Eye Cuts and Puncture Wounds

These types of eye injury require the immediate attention of an eye doctor. If your eye or eyelid has been cut or punctured in any way, don't attempt to wash the eye or remove anything stuck in the eye. Here are some more first aid tips for cuts and punctures in and around the eye:

  • Avoid rubbing the eye or surrounding skin.
  • Protect the eye from inadvertent rubbing by covering the eye with a rigid, circular object - cutting out the bottom of a paper cup will work.
  • Don't put pressure on the eye while holding up the protective covering, in case there is a foreign body inside the cut.
  • Affix the protective covering over the eye using a piece of tape.
  • Go to an eye doctor or emergency room right away.
How to Remove Objects From the Eye

Whether it's a grain of sand or some other particle, here are suggestions on what to do - and what not to do - when an object gets in your eye:

  • Don't rub your eye to get the object out or make it feel better - you may end up scratching your cornia by moving around the foreign body.
  • Don't try to remove an object that is penetrating or embedded in the eye.
  • Use a dampened cotton swab to try to gently remove an object that is not embedded.
  • Allow your tears to flow; it may help get the object out.
  • Try using eye wash or rinsing your eyes with water to flush out the particle.
  • If you are not certain that you got the particle out, see an eye doctor.
The Safest Approach to Cleaning Out Chemicals in the Eye

Household cleaners or any other chemicals that splash into the eye can cause serious damage, and require immediate eye first aid to prevent eye injury. Follow these eye first aid steps if you get chemicals in the eye:

  • Use water to flush or rinse out the eye right away. Don't waste time; do this immediately.
  • Don't cover or put anything over the eye.
  • Stand underneath a shower head or place your head beneath a running faucet. You may need to use both hands to keep the injured eye open while flushing it.
  • Flush the eye for at least 15 minutes, keeping the eye wide open and allowing the water to run over and cleanse it.
  • After following these steps, go to an emergency room immediately.
How to Handle a Blow to the Eye

If you get hit in or near the eye with a ball or some other object with force, here are some first aid tips to treat it:

  • Gently hold a cold compress or ice pack against the eye - don't put pressure against it.
  • Keep your head elevated to minimize swelling.
  • Go to a doctor's office or the emergency room if you experience pain or if your vision is affected.

It's always a good idea to see an eye doctor to get your eye checked out if you've sustained any eye injury. Remember to safeguard your eyes as much as possible with protective eyewear so that you don't need to use eye first aid - but if you do have an eye emergency, now you know just what to do.

Missouri Home Insurance Coverages

From the Basic Coverages to Custom Packages

Missouri Home Insurance Coverages | MJM Insurance of Fenton | (636) 343-5000

MJM Insurance of Fenton understands the various needs of Missouri homeowners, and can help homeowners understand the available Missouri Home Insurance Coverages.  Our agents will conduct a free review of the homeowner’s current situation and create a custom homeowner insurance package that specifically protects the individual and/or family with dwelling, personal property, other structures, liability, medical, and specialized insurance coverages.

Missouri Home Insurance Coverages | MJM Insurance of Fenton | (636) 343-5000

Missouri homeowners may experience unique challenges living in the Midwest. During the winter, all of Missouri experiences freezing temperatures every year with an average of about 110 days with temperature below 32° F. Harsh winters can bring frozen pipes, ice dams and snow.  In the summer, it is not uncommon for warm, moist air masses to produce a large amount of rain, lightning and hail storms – that could unexpectedly damage property.

Missouri Home Insurance Coverages | MJM Insurance of Fenton | (636) 343-5000

Most Missouri homeowners know that homeowners insurance covers the house they live in, maybe their shed and personal items.  But how many of them actually know what their house is worth, if the personal items replaced with “actual cash value”, do they have a complete inventory of their personal belongings?  There are many items to consider, which is why it is important to consult with a licensed agent with MJM Insurance of Fenton.  Our licensed insurance agents will walk you through each step of buying homeowners insurance, so that you make the right decision for you and your family.

Missouri Home Insurance Coverages – Basics

Section I – Property CoveragesSection II – Liability Coverages

Coverage A – Dwelling

Coverage B – Other Structures

Coverage C – Personal Property

Coverage D – Loss of Use

Coverage E – Personal Liability

Coverage F – Medical Payments to Others

*No deductible

Dwelling coverage protects the physical structure of your home, all structures attached, such as an attached garage, building equipment, fixtures and outdoor equipment used for the service of and located on the dwelling premises.

Missouri Home Insurance Coverages | MJM Insurance of Fenton | (636) 343-5000Other Structures
This type of insurance can help protect the physical structure of buildings on your property that are separate from your home, such as a shed or a stand-alone garage.

Personal Property
Personal property coverage can help protect the contents inside your home.  The description of contents includes personal contents usual to the occupancy of the premises as a dwelling and belonging to the insured or members of the insured’s household.  Contents coverage includes coverage for furniture, clothing, electronics, TVs, etc.

Loss of Use
Loss of Use protection applies when a damaged property is not fit to live in due to a covered loss.  Coverage includes any necessary increase in living expenses that may be incurred in order for the homeowners and their families can maintain a normal standard of living.

Missouri Home Insurance Coverages | MJM Insurance of Fenton | (636) 343-5000Personal Liability
The insurance company will pay up to the limits of liability for damages caused by the insured, in which they are legally liable.  This protects the homeowner if someone would file a lawsuit and sue the homeowner for damages after being injured on the insured’s property.

Medical Payments to Others
This type of coverage can help cover the cost of medical expenses for a person who’s injured on your property. Expenses include surgical, x-rays, dental, ambulance, hospital, prosthetic devices and funeral services.

Missouri Home Insurance Coverages – Deductibles

A deductible is the amount paid by a policyholder before any claim is paid by the insurance company. If the policy has a larger deductible, then the premium will be lower. A policy may have different deductibles based on what causes the damage. Some insurance companies sell homeowners insurance policies with percentage deductibles for wind and hail damage, and a flat dollar amount for theft and other damage.

Flat Dollar Deductibles – The insurance company subtracts this from the amount it will pay for a claim. So if a homeowner has $1,000 worth of damage and a $500 deductible, the insurance company pays $500 and you’re responsible for $500. If you have $500 in damage, your insurance company is not responsible for any portion of that claim.

Percentage Deductibles – Percentage deductibles are based on the home’s insured value.  So if a house is insured for $100,000 and has a 2 percent deductible, $2,000 will be subtracted from any claim the insurance company pays. Additionally, with a percentage deductible, as property value increases, the amount of the deductible will also increase.  *Remember there is a difference between market value (what your house might sell for) and insured value (the amount of insurance you’ve bought).

MJM Insurance of Fenton recommends contacting a licensed agent to get advice before filing a claim.   As homeowners consider their insurance options, it is important to carefully review and make sure they understand their deductibles for various types of damage and losses.

Missouri Home Insurance Coverages – Replacement Cost Coverage

Mortgage lenders will require homeowners to insure their home for at least the value of the money you borrowed. This means if you insured your home for the initial amount of the mortgage (let’s say $175,000) your insurance company will only pay up to this amount to have your home rebuilt. Needless to say, the rise in labor and material costs, coupled with changes to building codes, will certainly add to the overall cost of rebuilding; ultimately exceeding your initial insurance coverage amount and resulting in your home being underinsured. That is where a home replacement cost policy comes in.

Not all carriers offer the same, not all offer 150% extended replacement cost; and not all calculate the replacement cost the same. It varies based on how claims affect premiums are different among carriers.

Missouri Home Insurance Coverages – Extended Replacement Cost Coverage

Homeowners can purchase a higher level of protection from an extended home replacement cost policy. The extended home replacement cost option will pay a specified percentage over the limit to rebuild your home. If building costs unexpectedly go up in your area, an extended home replacement cost policy may pay more than the limit of a policy.  Each carrier offers different benefits.

Missouri Home Insurance Coverages – Guaranteed Replacement Cost

A guaranteed home replacement cost option pays whatever it costs to rebuild the home, no matter how much local construction costs have skyrocketed. Neither a guaranteed home replacement cost or extended home replacement cost policy will pay for a more valuable home than the one that was destroyed.  Replacements costs can range between 125%-150% or more.

Missouri Home Insurance Coverages – Optional Coverages

Inventoried ItemsMissouri Home Insurance Coverages | MJM Insurance of Fenton | (636) 343-5000
Not many people can remember, much less account for, everything in their house from memory. Most people can’t, which is why having a home inventory is so important. A home inventory kept in a safe place, with receipts and purchase information if possible, will ensure you get reimbursed quickly.

Missouri Department of Insurance Home Inventory Checklist

Equipment Breakdown
Coverage for loss due to mechanical or electrical breakdown of nearly any type of equipment and applies to the cost to repair or replace the equipment. Resulting business income and extra expense loss is often covered as well. Equipment breakdown insurance is increasingly replacing traditional boiler and machinery insurance, simply because the title is more accurate to the coverage provided.

Scheduled personal propertyMissouri Home Insurance Coverages | MJM Insurance of Fenton | (636) 343-5000
Coverage for valuable appraised items such as engagement rings or fine antiques.

Water backup
Coverage that can help protect against water damage caused by your drain backing.  Sewer and drain backup covers damage caused by water backup from drains, sewers or sump pumps.

Business property
Coverage that can help protect business-related items stored in your home, like products you are planning to sell.

Identity theft restorationMissouri Home Insurance Coverages | MJM Insurance of Fenton | (636) 343-5000
If you become a victim of identity fraud, you’ll have expense reimbursement and personal help for the recovery process. This type of insurance can help cover the cost of legal fees, lost wages and other costs involved with having your identity stolen.

Sports equipment
Additional insurance coverage that can help protect expensive gear like golf clubs, ski equipment, kayaks and more.

Green improvement reimbursementMissouri Home Insurance Coverages | MJM Insurance of Fenton | (636) 343-5000
A type of insurance coverage that can help pay you back for the additional cost of replacing damaged or destroyed covered items with more energy-efficient items after a loss.

Yard and garden
Expanded coverage for items like trees, landscaping, riding lawnmowers and more.

Electronic data recovery
Additional coverage that can help with the cost of recovering lost personal computer data, such as photos or videos.

Musical instruments
Expanded insurance coverage for items like guitars, violins and more.

Missouri Home Insurance Coverages – Discounts

There are many ways to save on home insurance in Missouri. There are a wide range of discounts to help lower home insurance premiums. Our licensed agents can help homeowners understand which Missouri home insurance discounts would best meet their situation.

Multi-policy discount
When you have two or more insurance policies, you can save big. Insuring your home and car together could help you save up to 30% with some carriers.

EFT PaymentsMissouri Home Insurance Coverages | MJM Insurance of Fenton | (636) 343-5000

Paper Free Billing
Carriers also encourage consumers to save paper. They reward the “green” customers for their contribution.

55 and retired discount
Over the age of 55 and retired? As about discounts!

*There are also home insurance discounts for smoke-free homes,
homes with storm shutters, homes with hail-resistant roofs and more.*

Missouri Home Insurance Coverages – Coverage Exceptions

The right homeowners insurance coverage can bring peace of mind. However, there are a few things that do not fall under the standard policy, including Flood damage and Earthquake damage. There are separate policies to cover this type of damage.

Imagine your home is damaged by a vehicle crashing through the garage.  You call your insurance agent to report the claim, and then you are told, “I’m sorry that’s not covered by your policy.” It is devastating to learn that you pay for insurance but your damage is not covered.

The unfortunate truth is no insurance policy covers you for everything that could possibly happen to you or your property.  However, with a little bit of understanding, you can make sure you have the protection you need, and you can rest easy knowing your claims get paid by the insurance company.

Just because you have an insurance policy, it does not mean everything and everyone in your home is covered.  Your home insurance policy does not cover you against every “cause of loss”. Examples of “cause of loss” include fire, high wind, and other “perils”.

A standard home policy excludes many causes of loss.  That is, it does NOT protect you from certain perils – like earthquake, flood, termite damage and many more.  That means if your home is damaged by one of these excluded perils your policy will not pay and you have no insurance against them.

Be sure to discuss your policy exclusions with an MJM Insurance of Fenton agent.  We’ll help you determine the best protection you need.  (636) 343-5000 | fenton@alternatives.insure

Missouri Home Insurance Coverages – Special Limits on Personal Property

Yes there is more!  — “special limits” of protection for some of your personal property.  A “special limit” reduces the protection directly available for certain types of property. The personal property subject to a special limit typically includes property used for business, cash & coin collections, jewelry & furs, guns, silverware, valuable art and more.

Most carriers require that the personal property for special limits coverage requires a certified value assessment. Additionally, some of these special limits apply only if the property is lost or stolen.  For example, a standard home policy includes $1,000 of protection for stolen jewelry. If a $2,500 diamond engagement ring is stolen, the insurance carrier will award the insured $1,000.

It is very important you fully discuss these conditions and special limits with our agents and buy the protection you need.  Otherwise, you could find yourself with a very nasty surprise … an unpaid claim!

Missouri Home Insurance Coverages – Other Exclusions and Options

The standard home policy have exclusions for many reasons.  But then the insurance company gives you an opportunity to buy some of them back. So, you have the option of increasing protection where you personally need it.

There are literally dozens of optional coverages available in your home policy.  Here are some of the more common options available to you:

  • Identity Theft – many home insurers now offer protection for Identity Theft in their home policies.  This will help pay the expenses you incur to restore your identity if it’s stolen.
  • Water & Sewage Backup – the standard home policy excludes damage caused by a water or sewage system backup.  You can buy this protection if you want it.
  • Ordinance & Law – pays the increased costs of repairing or rebuilding your home that are required to be build in accordance to current building codes.
  • Packaged Endorsements – often times an insurance company will package the optional coverages people most commonly buy into a single endorsement for a lower price.

There are many more optional coverage and exclusion buy-backs our agents can explain to you. Its worth the time to spend with your MJM Insurance of Fenton agent to understand the coverages available and make good decisions about your protection.

Give us a call! (636) 343-5000 Our agents will conduct a free assessment of your current policy and we will shop your insurance for you! That’s right, simply provide your declarations page to an agent and we can process the assessment.

Our goal is to ensure you are properly protected!

New Firestorm and Ronnie Raymond Art from Ethan Van Sciver

Ethan Van Sciver has been posting some Firestorm-related artwork on his Facebook account recently.  Check out these super-cool drawings of Ronnie from THE FURY OF FIRESTORM: THE NUCLEAR MEN! You get a really good look at Ronnie’s costume in the drawing below.

Below is the same shot again, but close-up on the face. Stunning line work by Ethan!

Below is a neat shot of Ronnie in mid-transformation.  Click the image to enlarge.

I gotta say, Ronnie looks fantastic!  I’m digging Ronnie as a teenager again!  Yildiray Cinar is doing the interiors of the book, so I’m guessing the art above was either character studies or commissions.

This drawing below has me scratching my head.  Ronnie, Jason, and Fury are clearly featured, but in what capacity?  Is that writing in Russian?  Hmmm… It’s got me wondering.  Also, if this is Russian, maybe we’ll meet The New 52 version of Mikhail Arkadin!

Fury from The Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Men by Ethan Van Sciver

Finally, below is an early character study of Ronnie for the new book.  It was shown at the San Diego Comic-Con during “DC Comics: Designing the New 52″ panel.  If you compare the drawing below to drawings above, you’ll see the costume has been changed some.  Click the image below to enlarge.

Gorgeous artwork by Ethan Van Sciver!  I can’t wait to see more!

    While I’m getting the first book and trying to keep an open mind, I’m just not feeling it with the new stuff I’ve seen. It just hasn’t gotten me excited at all…and I’m hoping that’ll change once I get the book in hand and get to read it and see what’s going on in this revamped version of Firestorm.

  2. Ed says:

    I like the work. I’m just not keen on that whole Clockwork Orange eyeliner thing going on there with the pointy things under his eyes.

  3. Ugh these are the exact things i was hoping to see at fan expo, would have loved to pick his brain…next time!!!

  4. outburst says:

    Good to see they kept the loose armsleeves… missing the pointy shoulders!

  5. Ryan says:

    I’ve really, really enjoyed Ethan Van Sciver’s interiors on books like [i]Green Lantern: Rebirth[/i] and [i]Flash: Rebirth[/i]. However, I haven’t been wowed by the last couple variant covers he has drawn for other books and I’m not crazy about the covers I’ve seen for the new Firestorm book. However however, I love his status as “idea man/story-world-builder” because he excels at that better than most of the writers on the new 52. And because Yildiray Cinar’s pencils did wow me in the issues of [i]Legion of Super-Heroes[/i] I flipped through, and because Gail Simone is a rock star, I am really looking forward to this book.

  6. Robert Gross says:

    Beautiful work, Ethan! I love your line. Silky smooth. Also great use of light/dark contrast and composition— the costume is busy in some places, minimalist in others. Very nice.

Bacteria Notes

Revision 4
© 2007-2015 by Zack Smith. All rights reserved.

Bacteria overview

E Coli

Bacteria are prokaryotes, so they lack a nucleus or organelles.

Sizes from 0.3 to 15 micrometers.

The world is full of bacteria. They are all over us, inside us, they help us with metabolism, and they protect people from bad organisms.

More O2 is produced by bacteria when by plants.

Some antibiotics can kill off good bacteria that guard against yeast infections. When you are on antibiotics, you should eat yogurt to replace good bacteria.

Bacteria parts

  • Nucleoid = central circle of DNA (1 chromosome

  • Inclusions = vacuoles, e.g. metachromatic inclusion which stores phosphorous

  • Plasmids = extrachromosomal DNA; these can provide resistance to antibiotics.

  • Cell membrane = phosphlipid bilayer with built-in ATP synthase and ETC (electron transport chain)

  • Cell wall = rigid layer of peptidoglycan (polypeptides & sugar chains) that keeps the shape of the bacterium even in situations where there is too much or too little water (hypotonic, hypertonic).

  • Ribosomes

  • Capsule (optional), also known as slime layer, which has the purpose sticking the bacteria to some spot where food is hopefully plentiful e.g. teeth. It also hides the bacterium from the immune system. Made of glycocalyx.

  • Pili (singular pilus): protrusions that help the bacterium hang on to other objects and which also allow bacteria to send genetic material to one another (F+ dominant to F- recipient). This gene transfer is like a simple early sexual system.

  • Lipopolysaccharide or LPS layer (optional): this chemical is a neurotoxin for animals.

  • Cytoplasm.

  • Flagella (optional)

There are three shapes:

  • Coccus = spherical, e.g. streptococcus
  • Bacillus = rod shaped, e.g. lactobacillus
  • Spirillium = spiral

Movement is via flagella. Bacteria have several flagella configuations.

  • Monotrichous = one flagellum
  • Lophotrichous = many flagella at one end
  • Amphitrichous = one flagellum at each end
  • Peritrichous = many flagella all over
  • Atrichous = no flagella

Swimming with flagella in pursuit of a chemical marker is chemotaxis.

Energy food consumption

There are four ways of getting energy:

  • phototrophic = it makes its own energy using light to catalyze chemical reactions
  • chemotrophs = they consume chemical matter e.g. other organisms
  • aerobes = they consume oxygen
  • anaerobes = they are killed by O2

Penicillin prevents bacteria from forming the peptidoglycan cell wall. Resistance to penicillin is caused by a bacterium developing an enzyme to break it down.

  • Tears have an enzyme lysozyme that breaks down peptidoglycan. The bacteria that cause pink eye have an enzyme that breaks down lysozyme.
  • Resistance to antibiotics is transferred between bacteria due to plasmid transfer along a pilus.
  • Some antibiotics target bacterial ribosomes, which are very different from non-bacterial ribosomes. Examples: erythromycin, tetracycline.

Capsule slime layer

The sticky layer lets bacteria stick to useful sites e.g. to teeth, to rocks, to bronchioles (bronchitis).

Bacteria which lack the capsule are easily killed by the immune system.

They reproduce by binary fission, which is like mitosis.

In adverse environments, some bacteria form a wall around the nucleoid that protects them long-term, even for millions of years.

Anthrax has survived for millions of years in its endospore form.

Endosymbiotic theory

This theory says that eukaryotes got their mitochondria & chloroplasts by ingesting bacteria but for some reason not eaten. It is supported by at least the following evidence.

  • Mitochondria and chloroplasts are the same size as bacteria.
  • Mitochondria and chloroplasts produce energy in a very similar way to bacteria.
  • Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own DNA, which are a single circular chromosome.
  • Mitochondria and chloroplasts DNA has been scanned and are very similar to the DNA of bacteria.
  • Eukaryotes are known to ingest bacteria.

Nitrogen fixation

Some bacteria convert N2 to ammonia NH3. This is useful to plants.

Only 1% of bacteria are harmful. The rest are helpful to various extents.

The Gram test (invented by Hans Gram) is supposed to test for toxicity by detecting LPS. Gram positive means nontoxic, Gram negative means toxic. However there are many exceptions.

There are 3 symbiotic modes:

  • Mutualism, in which both bacteria & host benefit.
  • Commensalism, in which bacteria benefit and host is neither harmed nor helped.
  • Parasitism, in which bacteria benefit but the host is harmed.

Well known bacteria

  • E. Coli
  • Clostridium botulidium
  • Streptococcus
  • Staphococcus
  • Congentoritis = causes pink eye
  • Borrelea burgdorferi = Lyme disease (left untreated it attacks the joints, then the brain
  • Lactobacillus = used to make yogurt
  • Heliobacter pylori = causes ulcers
  • Trychonympha = bacteria that termites rely upon to break down wood.

Mummy’s Meatballs

Mummy’s Meatballs

Every house, every home and most importantly every mum has their own meatballs recipe or at the very least a favourite recipe. I did not have mine till about 4 years ago. If I am honest I was never really a big fan of meatballs until then, it was to similar to Bolognaise but not as good.

Janice my mother in-law made me the first Meatballs that I was to enjoy. It was lovely and moist as well as fresh tasting and it had a kick to it (maybe that is why I like it!). Janice use to look after Emma-Jane for me 3 days a week when I was still working and she would make dinner for us once a week sometime more (yes I have the best mother in-law) and I would ask her for the meatballs all the time. The trick with her meatballs was they were made with pork and bacon and that is what makes it lovely and moist, that and the fact that she does not fry it first.

Since I have stopped working and Janice has stopped looking after Emma-Jane I had to make my own meatballs. I still ask her for them every time we go over to visit her but I feel that she has got fed up of making them for me.

Me being me I have added in a few more ingredients to her meatballs just to make it my own. So now we have Mummy’s meatballs and Grandma’s meatballs.

The recipe below includes dry chilli flakes however, you can remove this if you are cooking for the kids as well. What I do is I would take out the portion for the kids then add in the chilli flakes.

Mummy’s Meatballs
You will need:
1, onion – chopped
2, cloves garlic – chopped
1, stock cube
1tbs, tomato puree
1/2tbs, paprika
1/2tsp, mild chilli powder
1tsp, sugar
1tsp, Lea & Perrins Worcestershire sauce
400g, tin chopped tomatoes
200ml water
1tsp, dried chilli flakes (optional)
fresh basil leaves
salt and pepper to taste

For the meatballs:
500g, minced pork
4, slices streaky bacon – chopped
1tbs, oyster sauce
1tbs, soy sauce
1tsp, garlic powder

Let’s cook!
Firstly fried the onion in a large deep frying pan (large enough to accommodate 12 meatballs) with a bit of olive oil. Don’t rush it do it low and slow, I normally put the onion on and continue to prep the meatballs
Once the onion are nice and soft but not brown add in the garlic then after a minute add in tomato puree, paprika, chilli powder, sugar and chilli flakes if using. At this point I would add in the stock cube too. I prefer to add in the stock cube now and just add in water later (washing out the tin tomatoes) I really don’t see the point of dissolving it first with the water. But that is just me please feel free to dissolved the stock cube with the 200ml of water first.
Cook for another minute or so then add in the tin tomatoes, Lea & Perrins and water stir well, bring to the boil and leave to simmer.

Mean while make your meatballs by mixing all the ingredients together and roll them in to golf ball size and pop them in the sauce. Cover and simmer – after 10 minutes the bottom side of your meatballs should be hard enough for you to turn it around without braking. Leave to cook for 40 minutes stirring every so often. Remove the lid and cook for 5 more minutes to thicken the sauce. Add in some basil leaves how much is down to you, i love them so I use about 10. Taste and add salt and pepper as require. Serve with your choice of past but for me it simply has to be spaghetti.
Bon Appétit

The twister hit in Oakland Park, just north of Ft. Lauderdale between 8 and 8:30 a.m., Weather Service Specialist Tyrone Mosley told CNN.
There was debris, but no immediate report of injuries, he said.

A tornado watch remained in place for South Florida until 11 a.m. ET.

CNN affiliate WFOR reported that the damage in Oakland Park included a large tree down and landscape damage. There were reports of a swirling debris cloud.

In other parts of the city, strong winds, possibly from a tornado, ripped the roof and door off of a business and overturned vehicles, including work trailers, WFOR said.

We went to Kefi 505 Columbus Avenue, New York, NY 10024 in their new space; we went to the original in 2007.  Even though we loved the food the first time, it was uncomfortable to sit so tightly jammed between strangers. Now, on Columbus Ave, it’s a lot more roomy, but still casual, with mostly the same menu. The extra space allows for reservations now too!

I recommend sticking with the appetizers and pastas, my new favorite being Sheep’s Milk Dumplings with Spicy Lamb. Similar to a gnocchi, the creamy, airy puffs are the perfect balance against chunks of strongly spiced lamb sausage.

Sheep's Milk Dumplings with Spicy Lamb Sausage

The meatballs were not as good as the first time, too heavily masked by so much olive and oregano, but the other dishes were delicious.

There seemed to be a group consensus, thumbs up on the tender sweetbreads, served with spinach, fried shallots, and a rich lemon-y sauce. Unique for not being deep fried and coated (the usual way I see it).

Sweatbreads, spinach, crispy shallots

The Flat Pasta with Braised Rabbit is as great as it was last time, a rich and hearty winter pasta. The large butterflied sardines were fresh and accented with a garlicky Greek salad. I enjoyed the unique mix of mussels, gigante beans, and feta, and the selection of spreads is always a great starter to share. My favorite is the ultra creamy tzatziki.

Flat Pasta with Braised Rabbit Sardines
Mussels, Gigante Beans, Feta Selection of Spreads

Our waiter so strongly recommended the special of baby lamb chops that we took it. The meat was perfectly cooked though under-seasoned, and the spinach rice stole the show, so buttery and soft.

Lamb Chops with Rice

What I like most about Kefi is that it doesn’t taste like every other Greek restaurant. Many of them end up having the same menu and tasting exactly the same. There are interesting dishes to have here in a casual atmosphere, with good prices. Four people with a bit more food then we needed, came out to $116.24 (including tax and tip). If I was living in the neighborhood (oh, I miss those days), this would be a go-to.

  1. Jasprit

    I had a tough time sticking to ten books too Sara there was just so many awesome books this year. The 5th Wave made it to my list too, gosh that book was totally epic! I also loved Through the Ever Night and I really need to read Pivot Point and Easy asap! Great list Sara!

  2. Neysa Kristanti

    Can’t agree more with you. I think Clockwork Princess is beautiful too, and I love especially Jem (Although I’m a loyal supporter of Will from the first book, I had a change of heart on this book. Go Jem Tessa!) Love Dare You to and Through the Ever Night also! Can’t wait to read Into the Still Blue. I really hope that someday this series will made it into the big screen 🙂
    Great top ten pick, btw!

    Neysa Kristanti @ [B.O.O.K.L.I.F.E.]

  3. Tanja - Tanychy

    *high fives* for Clockwork Princess and The Sea of Tranquility! I’m so glad that you’ve enjoyed them. Also I’m happy to see Easy on your list. I must read The 5th Wave soon 🙂 Great list 🙂

  4. Andreea G.

    I have read some of them but most of these books are on my wish list. I hope I’ll get to read them in the near future. So many books, so little time (especially with a 4-month-old and a 3.5 year old) 🙁

  5. Emily

    I’ve heard so many great things about The 5th Wave! I bought it about a month ago but I still haven’t picked it up yet. I don’t know why! But I’m definitely going to be reading it next month. I’ve heard people liking The Program too, and it looks like a really great idea, so I think I’m going to check that one out too.

    Thanks for stopping by my Top Ten! 😀

  6. Jessica Leigh

    The Program!!! It was on my original Top Ten List of 24. LOL. And then I had to cut it down. But Dare You To and Sea of Tranquility made mine! Otherwise, you have quite a few I need to read: Extinguish, Eleanor, 5th Wave… Ok, so all the others except for Easy. LOL. Great list Sara!

    Thanks for stopping by earlier!

    Jessica@Lovin’ Los Libros

  7. Lauren @ Love is not a triangle

    Goodness, I LOVED a TON of these books. I don’t even know where to begin! HOWEVER, I am still trying to get my hands on a copy of THE PROGRAM. Thanks for telling me about it. Oh EXTINGUISH was fantastic as well – SO SO SO glad to have won it.

  8. Fiona Paul

    I have heard so much raving about The 5th Wave but, but, it’s so long! And it’s the beginning of a series? If you’re going to make me read over 500 pages I don’t think you’re allowed to hold me hostage for 2 more years. We shall see. I guess I could always read those 200 standalone books twitter recommended in between 🙂

  9. kristy1504

    Ahhh so many that I love or am sure I will love! I seriously adore the fact that Eleanor & Park has been on so many lists… It totally deserves all the recognition. I can’t wait to read The 5th Wave and I’m dying to read the Fiona Paul series!

  10. Sierra

    Great list!!! The Program and Clockwork Princess would definitely have been on my list 😀 They were so great! I’ve really got to get around to reading Eleanor & Park, seriously 🙂

  11. Lauren Elizabeth

    What an amazing list! I love so many of these. And darnit, why haven’t I read Extinguish yet? I made a note to do that after your review but my TBR pile has been conspiring against me. Glad to see it here again, it’s a lovely reminder. Fab list! 🙂

  12. Born Bookish

    I’ve read three of these; Sea of Tranquility, The 5th Wave, and Through the Ever Night. Unfortunately, I didn’t enjoy them as much as you did with the exception of the last one which I also loved. My favorites so far this year have been Time After Time by Tamara Ireland Stone and the Obsidian series by Jennifer Armentrout!

Quality of Life Program

quality-of-life-for-seniors |FRIENDS FOR LIFE

30 years ago, Inez Russell, founder, and executive director started Friends for Life with one volunteer. Her goal was to help seniors without family support to age in place as independently as possible. She also developed volunteer projects to improve the quality of life for seniors who are alone. These volunteer projects have evolved into what is now our Quality of Life Program.

Inez started with recruiting volunteers to visit people in private homes, nursing homes, or the hospital. This lead to the development of the Adopt-A-Grandparent program, which is one of her favorite programs. In that program, volunteers are matched to seniors with the goal of building lasting relationships. Many times, these relationships become like family and last for years.

Some of our other Quality of Life programs include Friends for Thanksgiving, Gifts for Grannies and Grandpas Too, Telephone Reassurance, and Pen Pal/Birthday Cards. The two biggest programs are Friends for Thanksgiving and Gifts for Grannies and Grandpas Too. Friends for Thanksgiving delivers over 450 meals on Thanksgiving morning with the help of around 200 volunteers. Gifts for Grannies gives around 2000 gifts to seniors and people with disabilities for birthdays, Christmas and sometimes other holidays too. Telephone Reassurance and Pen Pal/Birthday Card programs both are ways that we show clients that they are not forgotten.

If you are interested in volunteering in any of these programs you can apply here or contact our volunteer coordinator, Easton at easton@friendsforlife.org or 254.772.8100 ext. 110

Upton Pyne is a charming parish and village to the northwest of Exeter. St Mary’s Church is built of local volcanic stone and dates back to the 13th century.

The manor came into the possession of the Pyne family during the reign of Henry I (1100 – 1135) when Herbert de Pine took over the land.

In the early 18th century the heiress of Stafford of Pynes married her neighbour Sir Henry Northcote (5th Baronet) and took the manor to him, Sir Henry probably built the present Pynes House, a typical Queen Anne house.

The family gave their name to the village of  Upton Pyne.

Artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the intelligence of machines and the branch of computer science that aims to create it. While there are many different definitions, AI textbooks define the field as "the study and design of intelligent agents" where an intelligent agent is a system that perceives its environment and takes actions that maximize its chances of success. John McCarthy, who coined the term in 1956, defines it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines."

The high-definition screenshots are an closeup shot of a creepy-looking motorized Patriot wielding an enormous machine gun, Elizabeth looking worried in the bright streets of Columbia and the Founders, one of the factions in the game. Looks like this game is really worth the delay, huh? Plus, did you know that the game was almost set in the Renaissance era?
