The plasma amino acid response to blended protein beverages: a randomised crossover trial
posted on 2023-05-03, 20:47 authored by Teresa Wegrzyn, Sharon Henare, Natalie Ahlborn, Noha Nasef, Linda SamuelssonLinda Samuelsson, Simon LovedaySoya–dairy protein blends can extend post-exercise muscle synthesis in young people more than whey protein control. Older adults differ metabolically from young people, and their ability to absorb amino acids from dietary protein is important for muscle function. The objective was to determine how protein source affects postprandial plasma amino acid response and/or metabolomic profile in older adults via a single-blind randomised crossover trial (n 16, males 50–70 years), using three nutritionally equivalent meal replacement drinks containing 30 g protein, from a 1:1 (mass ratio) soya:dairy blend, a 1:2 soya:dairy blend or whey protein. The outcome measures were plasma amino acid concentrations at 0–300 min postprandially and urine metabolomic fingerprint. Soya:dairy drinks gave similar amino acid response in plasma over time and similar urinary metabolite fingerprints. However, there were significant differences in plasma amino acid concentrations and AUC values for the soya:dairy drinks v. the whey protein drink. AUC for Leu, Trp and Lys was lower and AUC for Phe and Pro was higher for the soya:dairy drinks. Differences partly reflected the amino acid profiles of the drinks, but overall plasma amino acid response patterns were qualitatively unchanged. Plasma amino acid differences between the whey protein drink and the soya:dairy blends were reflected in urine metabolite patterns. In conclusion, postprandial plasma amino acid responses were broadly similar, irrespective of protein source (and soya:dairy ratio). There were significant differences for some plasma amino acid concentrations, reflecting different amino acid profiles of the protein source and influencing urine metabolite fingerprints.

title: Effective solutions for muscle pain relief and diazepam 10mg a guide to managing discomfort and stress in the uk

text:
Muscle pain can be a frustrating and debilitating condition, affecting daily life in significant ways. Whether it’s due to injury, stress, or other underlying causes, finding effective muscle pain relief medicine is crucial for easing discomfort and promoting recovery. Additionally, conditions like anxiety or muscle spasms often require specialized treatments, such as Diazepam 10 mg. In the UK, individuals can find effective solutions for both muscle pain and mental stress by exploring over-the-counter and prescription medications that offer relief and improve quality of life.
Understanding Muscle Pain and Effective Relief Medicine
Muscle pain is often a result of overuse, injury, or tension. It can manifest in the form of cramps, stiffness, or soreness, which can severely limit movement. Finding the right muscle pain relief medicine is essential for managing this type of discomfort. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen are commonly used to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain. Other options include topical analgesics, such as creams or patches, that can provide targeted relief.
For those suffering from chronic muscle pain or conditions like fibromyalgia, stronger prescription medications may be needed. These medications help reduce inflammation, relieve tension, and ease muscle spasms, allowing individuals to regain their normal daily functioning.
The Role of Diazepam 10 mg in Managing Stress and Muscle Spasms
Muscle spasms can sometimes be linked to underlying issues such as stress, anxiety, or neurological conditions. Diazepam 10 mg, a benzodiazepine medication, is frequently prescribed to help manage muscle spasms and anxiety. Diazepam works by calming the central nervous system, thereby reducing muscle tension and promoting relaxation.
For individuals struggling with both physical discomfort and emotional stress, Diazepam 10 mg can provide effective relief by addressing both issues simultaneously. It is important to note, however, that Diazepam should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional due to its potential for dependency and side effects.
How to Buy Diazepam 10 mg Safely in the UK
If you’re looking to buy Diazepam 10 mg in the UK, it’s important to ensure that you are purchasing from a legitimate and trusted source. Diazepam is a prescription-only medication, which means it can only be obtained with a doctor’s prescription. It is essential to consult with a healthcare provider to determine if Diazepam is appropriate for your condition.
For those who need a quick and safe way to obtain Diazepam, some online pharmacies in the UK offer convenient services for purchasing prescription medications. However, it’s vital to verify the legitimacy of these websites to avoid counterfeit products and ensure safe transactions. Websites like directpilluk.com offer reliable services for obtaining medications such as Diazepam 10 mg, making it easier for people to access the relief they need in a timely manner.
Combining Muscle Pain Relief with Diazepam for Comprehensive Treatment
In many cases, combining muscle pain relief medicine with Diazepam 10 mg can provide a holistic approach to treating both physical and mental health conditions. For instance, while NSAIDs or topical treatments target the muscle pain itself, Diazepam can help reduce the underlying muscle spasms caused by stress or anxiety. This combined approach can enhance the effectiveness of the treatments, offering more comprehensive relief.
Additionally, incorporating physical therapy, stretching, and relaxation techniques into your routine can help prevent the recurrence of muscle pain and spasms, further enhancing the benefits of both pain relief medications and Diazepam.
When dealing with muscle pain and stress, it’s essential to find solutions that address both the physical and mental aspects of the condition. Muscle pain relief medicine, such as NSAIDs and topical analgesics, can help ease discomfort, while Diazepam 10 mg offers a targeted solution for managing stress and muscle spasms. If you’re considering buying Diazepam 10 mg in the UK, make sure to consult a healthcare professional for personalized advice and prescription recommendations. Additionally, ensure that any online purchase is made through a legitimate and trustworthy source like directpilluk.com to guarantee the safety and quality of your medication. Taking a comprehensive approach to managing muscle pain and stress can lead to better outcomes, helping you regain comfort and control over your body and mind.

title: Why choose interlock for your ottawa patio

text:
If you are thinking about building a patio or renovating the current one, selecting the suitable Ottawa interlock pavers for your home can make all the difference between ordinary and spectacular.
What are Ottawa interlock pavers?
Interlocking pavers are the placement of stone pavers next to each other, and the result is a visually attractive design. Depending on how you lay the stones, it can be eye-catching or soothing. It is all in the design you choose.
These pavers are not restricted to the patio area. Consider extending them into the walkways in the area, the fire pit, as a basis for your own secluded nook, or even on a retaining wall. Interlocking paving stones are not just for the backyard. They can be used to create a stand-out driveway or surround your entryway water feature. They make great stepping stones interspersed in the flower gardens, making it easier to plant, weed, and enjoy the area.
What are the benefits of interlock pavers?
Interlocking is a combination of flexibility, durability, and safety. Let’s look at some of the features separately.
They offer a stylish look that will coordinate with any architectural style and landscape design. Concrete or asphalt is simple and only comes in one colour. Using interlocking pavers gives your exterior some pizzazz, which will make your home stand out in the neighbourhood and give you hours of enjoyment.
With the volume of colours, sizes, and shapes, you can create your own special design pattern. Using some creativity and online programs, you can manipulate the stones into a pattern that is unlike anything you see at other homes.
No one wants to invest in a project where you will need to replace the materials in only a few years. Interlocking pavers, when installed correctly, can last for up to 30 years.
Washing with a garden hose will remove much of the accumulation. Add a little sweep with a broom, and you are done. Perhaps once per year, use your power washer to give the patio an excellent cleansing. When you catch the weeds, start to peek through the cracks. Just remove them and throw them away. Add a little more filler if you think it is necessary.
Choosing non-slip pavers means less worry about missteps that can cause injuries.
Installing interlock in your patio!
It is hard to find a product for your hardscaping that is better than interlocking pave stones. They are versatile and attractive. They will add value to your home and give you the opportunity to enjoy them for many years. If you have questions or concerns, contact our office, and we will have a specialist speak with you.

Bengaluru, Sep 10 (IANS) Reacting to talks of senior Congress leaders indulging in hectic lobbying in New Delhi to stake claim for the post of chief minister in Karnataka, Home Minister G Parameshwara stated on Tuesday that he was not lobbying for the top job.
Home Minister Parameshwara also mentioned that Minister for Large and Medium Industries, MB Patil has gone to New Delhi for work related to his department.
"I, too, would go to New Delhi if there is work related to the Home department," Parameshwara maintained.
Parameshwara emphasised that discussing the chief minister's post was unnecessary and that it was not right to say that he had gone to New Delhi to lobby for the post.
"I am not lobbying for the CM's post," he clarified to reporters.
Talking about a letter being written to the high command by senior Congress leaders to issue gag orders on the talks of change of CM, the Home Minister maintained that he had himself stated many times that the discussion on change of CM was unnecessary.
Incidentally, Parameshwara had earlier maintained that he was not a sage to refuse the offer of chief ministership.
Reacting to the NIA charge sheet in the Rameshwaram cafe bomb blast case mentioning that the terrorists had planned to bomb the BJP office, he stated that the NIA was investigating the case and they have mentioned that the arrested accused had plans of causing an explosion at the Bengaluru BJP office.
Parameshwara said that he was not aware of the other details mentioned in the charge sheet.
When asked about information given in the charge sheet related to the Renukaswamy murder case involving jailed Kannada superstar Darshan being revealed, he said that the charge sheet was not a confidential document and that it was natural for information to come out after it is submitted to the court.
The Home Minister further said that the court does not consider public statements and that the case would proceed based on evidence and documents.
“Let's see what the verdict of the court would be”, Parameshwara added.

title: Why we still cant deliver on the promise of hydrogen cars

text:
Predicting the future is always risky. But it’s long been clear that vehicles are one of the main sources of air pollution that takes thousands of lives a year in the U.S. alone through lung disease, asthma, cancer and more. And that ultimately, the world would have to move toward vehicles that didn’t treat our shared air like a giant trash bin, emitting toxic substances every time they were powered on.
Two technologies could deliver vehicles with zero emissions: battery-electric powertrains and hydrogen fuel cells. For decades, hydrogen was presumed to be “the fuel of the future,” with electric cars limited to the niche of small, short-range urban cars.
That’s not how it’s played out. And as 2020 seems poised to be a big year for electric car development—pandemic aside—it’s worth examining how this happened.
EVs Have Swamped Hydrogen Cars
It all comes down to two things: battery cost and fueling infrastructure. Over the last 10 years, the consensus on both has changed quite radically.
Despite more than half a century of development, starting in 1966 with GM’s Electrovan, hydrogen fuel-cell cars remain low in volume, expensive to produce, and restricted to sales in the few countries or regions that have built hydrogen fueling stations.
Progress on hydrogen vehicles has been slow but steady; the 2016 Toyota Mirai was the first such vehicle ever built in volumes of 1,000 a year or more. Toyota says its 2021 successor will be built in 10 times that volume. (It’s also much more visually striking, something that could never be said about its startling and ungainly predecessor. Rear-wheel drive now, too.)
Meanwhile, 10 years after the first modern EVs went on sale, electric cars sell in the low millions a year globally—two orders of magnitude higher than their hydrogen counterparts. They’re likely not yet consistently profitable for any maker, including Tesla, but General Motors and Volkswagen say that will change within the next few years, well before 2030.
Crucially, battery-powered vehicles are the technology behind which China has thrown the weight of its government-industrial policy for the country’s auto industry—not hydrogen fuel cells. It intends to dominate the global production of cars with plugs just as it already does photovoltaic solar cells—and will soon do in lithium-ion battery cells.
The Numbers Aren’t Good
The first Toyota Mirai was delivered in the U.S. in November 2015. In due course, it was joined by the Honda Clarity Fuel Cell and the Hyundai Nexo. All run on hydrogen, and have no tailpipe emissions beyond condensed water vapor. They are the only three hydrogen-powered cars you can lease or buy.
Since 2012, about 8,000 cars powered by hydrogen have been sold in the U.S. They can be operated only in California, because that’s the only place with a (pricey and so far unreliable) hydrogen fueling network. They can travel through most of the state, but taking one from Los Angeles to Tucson and back? Can’t be done.
In contrast, almost 10 years into the era of modern electric cars (which began in December 2010), fully 1.3 million battery-electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles have been sold in the U.S. Long-distance travel remains tough in anything that isn’t a Tesla, but it’s at least possible.
The hurdles to any automotive innovation are substantial, and a switch in fuels (or, technically, energy carriers) is among the most challenging. Ethanol hasn’t changed the game as expected 15 years ago. As for passenger cars powered by diesel, we know how that story ended.
Meanwhile, cars with plugs are going from strength to strength. It’s not due to what you might call “natural” market demand, but thanks to strong national and regional regulations designed to slash tailpipe emissions from road vehicles. Carmakers see electric cars as a much better response to those regulations that hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles.
Actually Nothing New
Electric cars have been with us since the dawn of the automotive age. In 1900, they represented one-third of all vehicle sales, with steam cars and gasoline splitting the rest. Their limitation was the range of their batteries, based on the lead-acid chemistry still found in your 12-volt starter battery today.
The invention of the electric self-starter in 1912 meant drivers no longer risked a broken arm just starting their gasoline car. And the fuel’s greater energy density (meaning longer range) allowed it to win out over batteries. The downsides—from emissions to lead poisoning from gasoline additives—wouldn’t start to come into focus until the 1950s.
Starting in the 1990s, consumer electronics provided the technology for better electric cars. Suddenly, the need for energy storage in small, light, sophisticated devices led to the creation and mass production of the lithium-ion battery cell, which hit the market in a Sony videocam 30 years ago. It had twice the energy density of nickel-metal-hydride cells (used in 20 years of Toyota hybrids), and four times the energy of the old reliable lead-acid batteries.
Since then, the cost-performance of small lithium-ion cells has improved at 7 percent a year on average. It’s not Moore’s Law, but it’s better than the improvement in engine efficiency: Over 140 years, the thermal efficiency of the gasoline internal-combustion engine has gone from perhaps 20 percent to 50 percent (under perfect circumstances, when paired with hybrid power).
Those battery cells for EVs got cheaper far faster than was expected even 10 years ago. By 2025, the cost of a large battery pack (60 kilowatt-hours, say, for a range of 200+ miles) is expected to fall to the Holy Grail of $100 per kilowatt-hour or less. That’s about when EV prices should start to reach parity with comparable gasoline vehicles.
Pioneering is Hard
The history of automotive technology suggests companies that invent or pioneer new technologies may not be those who end up profiting from it. Remember which company launched the first transverse-engine, front-wheel-drive small car back in 1959? (Hint: It no longer exists today.)
Pioneers make mistakes. For the U.S., one such mistake proved to be the assumption by major automakers that buyers would flock to battery-electric cars with rated ranges of, say, 75 miles. They didn’t. In America, we like our long road trips. (Tesla figured that out.)
Another mistake proved to be not explaining the reality that EVs are charged at home or at work—slowly, overnight or during an eight-hour workday—for 80 or 90 percent of the miles they cover, but people need confidence in on-road fast charging. (Tesla’ Supercharger network was the result.) And there are many more.
Now, 10 years on, we know a few things:
- 200 miles is the minimum range required to get U.S. shoppers to consider an electric car; 300 miles is better.
- Those new to electric cars can’t visualize, or don’t “get,” the home-charging experience.
- Public charging still isn’t visible enough, pervasive enough, or fast enough.
- Most consumers don’t want to take a chance on new technology, preferring to let others validate it first; and
- You have to have EVs all types of vehicles, and multiple models, to make them serious contenders—and these days, that means crossover utilities, SUVs, and pickup trucks.
So with all those hurdles facing electric cars, why haven’t hydrogen fuel-cell cars taken off instead?
The main reason centers on a nerdy, specialized word that’s underappreciated in the real world. It’s the infrastructure, stupid.
Others include the realities of reducing CO2 emission, the mirage of “fast fueling” that sold regulators on hydrogen vehicles 25 years ago, and the simple issue of fill-up cost.
Specifically, it has proven exceptionally challenging, complex, and expensive to build and support a network of consumer fueling stations that delivers a highly explosive gas, compressed to 10,000 psi, reliably, quickly, and safely.
A decade ago, California Assembly Bill 8 mandated a plan to spend $100 million establishing a network of 100 hydrogen fueling stations by 2020. Each of them costs about $2 million, at least in 2014. The state will not reach that goal, but it remains the sole state among 50 where hydrogen cars can be operated for daily use.
As of April 8, according to California Fuel Cell Partnership data, the state had 40 operating hydrogen stations. Another nine were under construction or being commissioned to open. Nine more were in various stages of planning, and three were listed as not operational. Almost five years after the first Toyota Mirai was delivered, that’s not terribly impressive.
Just keeping the stations up and running has been a challenge. As aggrieved fuel-cell drivers in Northern California discovered, a thin fueling network is no good if your supply is interrupted.
Last June, an Air Products hydrogen supply facility in Santa Clara suffered an explosion that cut off supply to 9 of the area’s 11 fueling stations. That led to diesel trucks carting tanks of compressed hydrogen hundreds of miles north from Southern California overnight—and to furious owners setting alarms for the wee hours of the morning, to reach fueling stations in time to take advantage of the reduced supply of hydrogen needed to make their cars run.
The shortage lasted well into the fall, and led Toyota to refund several months of lease payments to Mirai drivers across the state, even those in Southern California unaffected by the outage. One imagines them looking wistfully at Tesla owners who could plug in at home, or at work, or use the company’s network of hundreds of Supercharger sites.
More than that, a California network of 75 stations was expected to serve only 17,000 to 24,000 hydrogen vehicles in 2020. Today, the state already has half a million plug-in cars on its roads. Did we mention most of those get charged overnight at home, or during the day at work?
Globally, Japan and Germany have the most comprehensive national hydrogen fueling infrastructure. Several years ago, Germany announced plans to build 100 stations by 2018 and 400 by 2025. As early as 2018, it had pulled ahead of the U.S. (meaning California) on total stations.
The global debut for Japan’s “hydrogen economy,” with fuel-cell vehicles front and center, was expected to be the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. That event, obviously, has now been postponed. And zero-emission vehicles are likely not front of mind for the few customers still buying cars right now.
California was the first state to tackle vehicle emissions, mandating positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) valves in 1960. National emissions rules starting in 1975 limited the volumes of carbon monoxide (CO), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and unburned hydrocarbons (HC) from tailpipes, to the point where emissions of those substances are less than 1 percent of their level in a 1974 car.
But California recognized the threat of climate change early, and began to limit tailpipe carbon dioxide (CO2)—the global-warming gas that is directly proportional to the amount of fuel burned. The state also mandated that rising numbers of vehicles with no emissions at all be sold starting in 2012. Along with analogous laws in Europe and later China, that’s really what kicked modern electric cars and hydrogen fuel-cell vehicles into being.
But unless or until all electricity is fully renewable, hydrogen vehicles will always have higher CO2 emissions per mile than electric cars, when you start with the same kilowatt-hour. In an EV, you generate electricity, send it along a wire, charge a battery, then discharge the battery to turn the wheels. End of story.
In a hydrogen vehicle, you use that electricity to crack a feedstock (today, largely natural gas) to generate hydrogen. Then you have to compress that hydrogen, usually offsite, and transport it to a fueling station, where it is stored, then compressed into the vehicle’s tank.
There, it feeds into a fuel-cell stack where it’s turned back into electricity (at perhaps 60 percent efficiency) … that turns the exact same motor as in an EV to power the wheels.
The result is that EVs have CO2-per-mile footprints one-third to one-half those of fuel-cell vehicles. Mind you, the hydrogen car is still better than your average 25-mpg gasoline vehicle. But the EV is better still. Regulators have begun to notice.
Hydrogen proponents, incidentally, will sometimes release studies that show hydrogen at a CO2 advantage. These tend to cherry-pick the data—using, for example, the best possible hydrogen case against the average of all U.S. electricity generation. Here’s one.
One of the premises that originally sold regulators on hydrogen vehicles was “fast fueling,” or the ability to get most of a car’s rated range restored in 5 minutes of fueling. Hydrogen stations promise this, and frequently deliver it, but electric-car charging certainly didn’t. Even the Tesla Supercharger stations that launched in late 2012 required 25 to 40 minutes to recharge the battery to 80 percent of capacity.
But now that’s changed. The Porsche Taycan can charge at up to 270 kilowatts, meaning a 20-minute recharge to 80 percent. With larger battery packs, rates of 350 kw are possible, bringing that down to 15 minutes. Sure, it’s not five minutes—but when you factor in bathroom breaks, coffee or soda purchases, and checking your phone, it’s probably close enough not to matter on long road trips.
Cost Per Mile
The “rack rate” to refill a Toyota Mirai or Honda Clarity Fuel Cell with compressed hydrogen runs north of $50. With a larger infrastructure and more cars on the road, say hydrogen-fuel companies, the cost will come down to approach the cost-per-mile of gasoline.
Those numbers may have been believable in a future with $4 gasoline. With prices of $1 to $2 a gallon in the U.S. today, they seem less likely. It’s worth noting that home-charging an electric car, on average, costs what a gasoline car would if gas sold at $1 a gallon.
None of that matters if EVs have higher sticker prices than “regular” cars, as they do today. But within this decade, they’ll reach parity. Then EVs’ much lower operating costs may come into play—at least for the smarter half of the car-buying couple. Who might, incidentally, love the idea of never having to visit a gas station again.
Ranking the Automakers
Virtually every automaker in the world is planning for more models and higher volumes of electric cars through the 2020s. The Chinese makers have to; the Europeans want to, because their regulators believe in science; and even the Detroit 2.5 have plans for big electric trucks they hope will appeal to U.S. buyers.
But on hydrogen, the landscape is considerably more varied. Volkswagen Group is all-in on electrics, and recently went so far as to issue a press release explaining why hydrogen was not its preferred path. The Nissan-Renault-Mitsubishi Alliance pioneered the Leaf EV 10 years ago, and has no plans for volume hydrogen vehicles as it prepares to launch an expanded new generation of battery-electric cars this year or next. It also has much bigger problems at the moment, stemming from the arrest of its former CEO. Nor do Ford or Fiat Chrysler have anything of substance in hydrogen fuel-cell cars.
GM has long experience with hydrogen vehicles, dating back to that Electrovan. In the late 2000s, it operated the largest single fleet of hydrogen vehicles in the world under the auspices of Project Driveway, a test program of 100 Chevy Equinox crossovers converted to run on hydrogen. Its bankruptcy and restructuring put those efforts on ice, and its hydrogen work is currently limited to military and heavy-duty truck applications.
In Germany, post-Dieselgate, the auto giant VW Group is now fully committed to battery-electric vehicles. In late April, Daimler took a hard look at its future development plans—and canceled all its hydrogen fuel-cell development plans for passenger vehicles.
South Korea’s Hyundai-Kia is doing everything any automaker is doing, and it has one of the three dedicated hydrogen vehicles, the Hyundai Nexo SUV. It’s a very nice vehicle, produced in very low volumes.
The Japanese are the foremost promoters of hydrogen transport, with the world’s most profitable volume carmaker at the forefront. Toyota has long envisioned the transition to cleaner cars being led by its hybrid-electric powertrains, until hydrogen fuel-cell cars are ready for a mass rollout from 2025 through 2040. And 10 years after the arrival of modern electric cars, it remains totally and viscerally opposed to them—building them in China only because that country’s government requires it to do so.
Honda is almost as dedicated, and actually offered the first “production” hydrogen car back in 2008, in the form of 200 or so Clarity FCX sedans. That car’s successor, the flagship Clarity Fuel Cell, is also used as the basis for a low-volume, low-range electric car and a much higher-production plug-in hybrid vehicle. Honda just announced GM will build two separate electric cars for it, but it still appears committed to fuel-cell vehicles.
Electric cars, then, are easy to understand. Tesla and its rabid fans have boosted the technology from nerdy to stylish, selling 1 million EVs along the way. And the electric “fueling” infrastructure already exists, more or less. So what’s so great about hydrogen cars again?
In the end, the fate of the hydrogen car may be—globally—the punchline that cynics have always used on hearing the prediction: “Hydrogen vehicles are the technology of the future.”
“And they always will be.”

Payara Server offers additional facilities to configure specific settings of the MicroProfile Configuration API, described next.
Configuration variables ordinal values can be configured by using Admin Console or via the Asadmin CLI.
To configure the ordinal value in the Admin Console, go to Configuration → [instance-configuration (like server-config)] → MicroProfile → Config → Ordinal:
A --source value of jndi is not supported for these asadmin commands yet. The JNDI ConfigSource does exist and is usable from the Config API, though.
The following Asadmin commands can be used to manipulate configuration sources ordinal values:
Configuration properties can be configured by using Admin Console or Asadmin commands.
To configure the property in the Admin Console, go to Configuration → [instance-configuration (like server-config)] → MicroProfile → Config → Property:
The cache duration of the values of a configuration property can be configured by using Asadmin commands. By default, the cached value of properties have a TTL (time to live) of 60
That means each individual property does not change for 60
seconds since it has been resolved before. Therefore, it can take up to 60
seconds for changes made visible by a source to become effective.
If properties were not resolved recently, the change can become visible faster than the cache duration or even immediately because some time already passed since they had been last resolved and cached. |
Use the set-config-cache
to modify this setting.

Cause, Effect, And Prevention Of Dry Mouth
Have you ever woken up with your mouth feeling like a barren desert?
Then you’ve probably experienced dry mouth, although it can be even more severe, making it difficult to speak or even eat. Dry mouth affects a tenth of the population, but why is it such a problem, why does it happen, and what can we do about it?
In The Absence Of Saliva…
Saliva is the mouth’s first line of defense against bacteria, bad breath, and tooth decay. It washes away leftover food particles and neutralizes acids, protecting our teeth and gums. Consequently, when there isn’t enough saliva to perform all of these important tasks, the result is much more serious than just an unpleasant sandpaper feeling.
What Causes Dry Mouth?
Dry mouth has numerous causes, including smoking, drinking, dehydration, and even aging. Sometimes the salivary glands can be damaged by chemotherapy or radiation treatment. But the most common cause is ordinary medication. Over 400 medications include dry mouth on their lists of side effects. If you’ve been suffering medication-related dry mouth, come talk to us about options like switching to different medication or changing the dosage.
Good Habits To Prevent Or Reduce Dry Mouth
For particularly severe dry mouth, artificial saliva could provide relief and protect your teeth from decay, but there are also a few good habits that can minimize the problem.
Avoid breathing through your mouth—whether you’re awake or asleep. Even for people with fully functioning salivary glands, mouth breathing is going to result in a much drier mouth than nose breathing. For that—and many other health reasons—it’s important to breathe through your nose whenever possible, including during sleep.
Stay hydrated. Your salivary glands can’t produce saliva if you’re not drinking enough water, and even if saliva production is impeded for other reasons, regularly sipping water can help eliminate the dry mouth feeling.
Stimulate Saliva Production
Sugar-free gum and candy encourage your salivary glands to up their production, particularly if the flavor is citrus, mint, or cinnamon. (Bonus points: sugar-free gum is also good for your teeth, because it starves the bacteria that feed on sugar!)
Choose Your Mouthwash Carefully
Mouthwash containing alcohol may undo its own positive germ-killing effects by drying out your mouth! Just like drinking alcoholic beverages has a dehydrating effect on the body, swishing alcoholic liquid around will specifically dehydrate the mouth! Make sure you choose a non-alcoholic mouthwash.
As smoking is one of the common causes of dry mouth, not smoking is an obvious solution. The same goes for dry mouth caused by alcohol intake.
We Can Beat Dry Mouth Together!
Dry mouth can pose a serious threat to your oral health, so aside from following these good habits, one of the best things you can do if you experience it is to schedule an appointment with us. We’ll be able to identify the cause and make a plan to put an end to that sandpaper feeling!

(pseudonym for Michael Frith and Christopher Cerf)
Vanitas/ The Harvard Lampoon
7" x 4 1/4"
Alligator is a parody of Ian Fleming's James Bond novels. It was written by Christopher Cerf and Michael K. Frith. It was published in 1962 by the Harvard Lampoon. Subsequent editions of the book were squashed by Fleming and his estate.
Plot J*ames B*ond takes on Lacertus Alligator, head of the evil organization TOOTH (The Organization Organized to Hate). Alligator's face is the color purple. His plan for world domination includes the kidnapping the Houses of Parliament. And not just the members of Parliament, but also the buildings. Alligator ends up also kidnapping the Queen as well.
Overview Apart from Bond's name always appearing in the book as B*ond, other references to recurring characters include Pennyfarthing instead of Miss Moneypenny. Felix Leiter appears as Felix Ronson and Jamaican fisherman Quarrel is named Squabble. Bond's boss, M, is simply known as *. The book also parodies Bond's ordering of drinks. Instead of the usual 'Shaken, not stirred,' B*ond specifies every single thing he orders to eat. When B*ond faces down Alligator at the card table, they play Go Fish.
The cover of Alligator parodies the Signet Books paperback covers used for the Fleming novels in the 1960s. The back cover of the book lists other fictitious B*ond novels, including Lightningrod, Tomorrow We Live, Monsieur Butterfly and Scuba Do-Or-Die.
The book was published in paperback and was such a success that Bennett Cerf, (Christopher Cerf's father) considered bringing out a hardcover edition from Random House. He wrote Fleming for his blessing and Fleming responded saying how much he hated the book. Cerf and Frith were reportedly confused, thinking that the Bond books were supposed to be funny.
The initial run was limited to 100,000 copies because Fleming's American publisher found the book too similar to the real Bond books. Bennett Cerf was interested in publishing a hard cover edition of the book, but changed his mind when he saw Fleming's response. (Random House was just about to publish Fleming's children's book Chitty-Chitty-Bang-Bang.)
A copy of the book was found in the paperwork between President John F. Kennedy and Special Assistant to the President Arthur M. Schlesinger Jr.
In attempts to re-print the book, or to develop the story into a different form, Cerf and Frith found that Fleming had in his will specifically prohibited them from doing anything involving Bond.

title: Diversity camps

text:
Teenagers from different cultures will have the opportunity to experience Baylor through a series of Christian events coordinated by the University's Youth Programs office. Primarily geared toward Asian and Hispanic students, the programs will be hosted jointly with the Baptist General Convention of Texas (BGCT).
The new programs include a youth camp for Asian churches in Texas, a Hispanic Youth Day this fall and leadership training for bilingual Disciple Now events.
Dr. Gus Reyes, BGCT multicultural consultant in evangelism, approached Dr. Don Mattingly, coordinator of Baylor Youth Programs, last year about the events, which Dr. Mattingly said were a perfect fit for the University's mission.
"Baylor's response has been amazing," he said. "Our youth program teams are thrilled about this opportunity to minister to Christian youth from different cultures."
Nearly 300 youth from Cambodian, Vietnamese, Laotian and other Asian congregations attended camp at Baylor June 16-20, with Byron Schaffner, minister of missions and college students at Waco's Greater New Light Baptist Church, as the guest preacher.
Baylor's first Hispanic Youth Day will be held Sept. 20 with guest speaker Danny "Tiny" Dominguez from Iglesia Bautista Getsemani Church in Fort Worth, Texas, and the band True Vine from San Antonio. Students will attend a concert, pizza party and football game. Although Hispanic churches have been invited to youth days previously, Dr. Mattingly believes attendance will improve with this year's event. "The music, guest speakers, everything will be geared toward helping these young people feel comfortable," he said.
The bilingual training program for Disciple Now is aimed toward Spanish-speaking congregations. The program will combine basic elements of Disciple Now weekends with Spanish curriculum and music. The BGCT will invite leaders from across Texas to participate in the training planned for this fall. Disciple Now is a weekend retreat program held in homes of church members designed to encourage spiritual growth in middle- and high-school students.
"To have those Christian young people here and get to know Baylor is a way for us to minister to them and to spread Baylor's message," Dr. Mattingly said.

title: Three design tips that will make your small area really feel huge

text:
Low on sq. footage? Do not sweat it — a small house is a chance to get intelligent.
Acquired a small house in your house that you just’re undecided what to do with? Or is your cramped house forcing you to get inventive together with your furnishings preparations? You’re not alone.
Make your small room or dwelling space suit your wants with intelligent options that can streamline your life and maximize your house.
1. Considerate paint decisions
Selecting the best paint colour in your small room can immediately give the impression of more room. Conventional neutrals like white, cream and lightweight grey are nice decisions, as a result of they supply a clear and streamlined look that makes the room really feel brighter and extra expansive.
Portray the ceiling white to attract the attention upward is a straightforward method to create visible openness overhead. You’ll have an ethereal and welcoming house very quickly.
Then again, if you wish to play up the small-space vibe much more, go daring with darkish colours. You’ll be able to emphasize the smallness of a room by making a comfy, den-like ambiance with colours like black, darkish grey and navy.
Whether or not you determine to go gentle or darkish, including paint to your small house will enable you get the impact you’re going for, each shortly and affordably.
2. Savvy storage
Tight areas don’t typically include nice storage. However by incorporating inventive and versatile storage options, you may preserve muddle out of sight and preserve every thing you want useful.
The kitchen is a superb place to implement intelligent storage options:
Create an adjustable cooking space with roll-away islands and pantries.
Grasp spices or wine glasses beneath your cabinets.
Connect holders to the backs of cupboard doorways to maintain foil and cleansing provides neatly out of sight.
Don’t neglect to lookup! The ceiling is a superb place to hold massive objects like bicycles, and you’ll add shelving excessive up in closets for not often used objects.
three. Multitasking furnishings
When you could have restricted ground house, it’s necessary to make your furnishings work double obligation. Select items which have hidden storage and a number of capabilities or furnishings which you could compact and retailer when not in use.
In the event you can’t match a dresser in your bed room, strive utilizing drawers or crates below the mattress for clothes and further linens. A pouf or leather-based ottoman can simply transition from a seat to a footrest or facet desk.
Add perform to your entryway by using a bench with storage inside to cover further sneakers, gloves and scarves. And you probably have wall house to spare, cling a fold-down eating desk.
Photograph from Zillow itemizing.
Restricted sq. footage doesn’t imply you need to sacrifice perform and magnificence. Small-space dwelling is a good way to guide a simplified and streamlined life.
With inventive pondering, you may go from a cluttered, cramped mess to an organized and welcoming house with room for all.

title: Net neutrality decision boosts fcc muni preemption case but not enough

text:
Still not going anywhere.
The federal appeals court ruling that upheld the Federal Communications Commission’s common carrier and network neutrality rules for broadband did collateral damage to the State of Tennessee’s attempt to overturn the FCC’s preemption of state restrictions on local municipal broadband initiatives. But it doesn’t appear fatal, or even particularly serious.
At the same 2015 meeting where it voted to regulate broadband as a common carrier service, the FCC also decided to toss out state laws in Tennessee and North Carolina that prevented two muni fiber systems from expanding into neighboring jurisdictions. The two states appealed, with Tennessee walking point, and the case was heard by three appeals court judges in Cincinnati in March.
Tennessee’s case is based on three primary arguments:
- Congress can’t tell states how to manage and delegate authority to local governments.
- Even if it can, congress didn’t make a “plain statement” saying the FCC could insert itself into that state-local relationship when it passed the telecommunications act of 1996.
- More than that, the section of the telecommunications act that the FCC is relying on – section 706 – doesn’t grant any authority at all and it’s just a general mission statement.
When the appeals court in Washington upheld the FCC’s common carrier decision last week, it reaffirmed an earlier ruling that section 706 does give the FCC enough additional authority over broadband service to implement the new rules. That prompted a quick response from Tennessee, telling the Cincinnati judges that the Washington guys had it wrong and they should ignore them. An even more hurried reply from the FCC urged the judges to adopt the precedent set by the DC court.
The Cincinnati judges are free to rule as they please regarding the FCC’s muni broadband preemption, but it’s never seemed likely that they would negate section 706 altogether – although if they did it would almost certainly trigger a review of both the common carrier/net neutrality rules and the muni preemption by the supreme court. Nor will they buy the argument that congress can’t involve itself at all in matters concerning state discretion over local government – that’s already well ploughed ground.
Tennessee’s remaining argument is much stronger. Section 706 is broad reaching, but it is also vague and doesn’t contain anything like a “plain statement” allowing the FCC to meddle in the relationship between state and local governments. During oral arguments in March, the judges pressed hard on that point and the FCC’s attorney couldn’t answer it effectively.
There’s no timetable for the Cincinnati court to come to a decision. It could happen today, or sometime next fall. When it does come down, though, I’m still betting that the FCC’s preemption of muni broadband restrictions will be thrown out.

Guwahati: Researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology Guwahati (IIT Guwahati) led by Prof. Arup Kr Sarma, Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Guwahati, in collaboration with the Brahmaputra Board, Ministry of Jal Shakti, Government of India, have developed an indigenous river model BRAHMA-2D (Braided River Aid: Hydro-Morphological Analyzer).
This comprehensive mathematical model can help to understand the flow of large braided rivers like Brahmaputra, providing valuable insights to field engineers to design sustainable hydraulic structures like Spurs, Revetment and other river bank protection measures.
Predicting river flow variations across depth is crucial for flood and erosion control, agriculture and water supply intake design, and zero head energy production. Traditional measurement methods of flow velocity in deep, large rivers during high monsoons are risky and extremely difficult, prompting the use of mathematical models.
However, existing models provide only average velocity, underestimating undercurrents at different depths. In braided rivers, the presence of sandbars further complicates accurate three-dimensional velocity computation.
Regarding the BRAHMA-2D model, Prof Arup Kr Sarma, Department of Civil Engineering, IIT Guwahati, said,” Our mathematical model combines highly complex mathematical modelling with challenging field-based research on large braided rivers. With this quasi-3D river flow model, we can understand how fast the water moves at different depths inside a river and its circulation around a structure like a spur installed to prevent river bank erosion.”
BRAHMA-2D integrates a two-dimensional model of water movement with a theory about entropy, a measure of disorder or randomness. The research also delves into how features like river banks, spurs, and sandbars affect the way water moves. Specifically, it observes a dip phenomenon near spurs where the flow of water underneath increases, a phenomenon absent in points away from these structures.
The novel findings were published in the ISH Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, earning the prestigious 'ISH Jal Vigyan Puraskar' (Best Paper in ISH Journal) 2023. The award ceremony took place on 21st December 2023 at the Hydro-2023 conference hosted at NIT, Warangal. The paper has been co-authored by Prof Arup Kr Sarma and his former research scholar Dr Anupal Barua.
The model was successfully validated on the Brahmaputra River near Majuli Island, the world's second-largest freshwater river Island, prone to river bank erosion.
Dr Anupal Baruah, at present working as a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Alabama, USA, highlighted the model's successful application with the river survey data, using a GPS Echo-Sounder for depth and Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler, along with current meters for velocity measurement. He emphasized, “During my research at IIT Guwahati field measurements near the spurs revealed a strong agreement with our model results. This breakthrough can now be applied to compute the vertical velocity profile at any desired location."
Ongoing research at IIT Guwahati continues to evolve the BRAHMA-2D model extending its application to estimate velocity changes for different vegetation types and assess the impact of structures like porcupines on flow velocity. The versatile model has further helped to design bioengineering methods for controlling river bank erosion. It has also been applied to understand the habitat suitability of aquatic species, especially endangered species, based on the availability of required depth and flow velocity.

title: How does diabetes affect dental health

text:
If you have reached this article you probably know that you have diabetes or a family member or friend suffers from it, so we will address several points about how diabetes can affect dental health so that you can take the necessary measures to prevent it from affecting you or your family members.
How does it affect you?
People with diabetes are prone to develop cavities due to high levels of glucose in the blood, so dental plaque accumulates on the teeth. However, although you may be more prone to cavities with this disease, this problem can be avoided by thoroughly cleaning your teeth using fluoride toothpaste.
It is important to note that the bodies of diabetic patients also have problems trying to get rid of toxins and physical waste that also include the gums and teeth. This makes diabetics prone to circulation problems that can lead to infections, such as gingivitis and periodontal disease.
What can I do to prevent dental problems caused by diabetes?
People with diabetes should be even more cautious with their dental care. Make regular visits with your dentist to confirm the good condition of your teeth and gums, in addition to regular care at home.
Here are some tips to prevent any oral disease.
Stop smoking. If you are diabetic, you should quit smoking as soon as possible. Smoking only makes diabetics more likely to suffer from oral diseases.
Watch your blood sugar levels. If you have diabetes, you should continue taking your medications as prescribed by your doctor, this will drastically decrease your chances of having dental and general health problems.
Brush your teeth at least twice a day. One of the best ways to prevent diabetes-related dental problems is to brush your teeth at least twice a day.
Brushing your teeth twice a day prevents bacteria from building up and creating problems in the future. In addition, brushing works as a way to massage the gums, which improves blood circulation.
Floss daily. Flossing is another activity that can help prevent future problems for diabetics. By flossing, you remove bacteria that has accumulated between the teeth. However, if you are diabetic, you should be careful when flossing because flossing carelessly can damage your gums and cause them to bleed.
Visit your dentist regularly. A diabetic patient should visit the dentist at least every six months for regular cleaning and checkup.
Where can I find a dental office in Phoenix that works with diabetics?
If you are looking for a dental office that works with diabetic patients, you can come to Somos Dental.
At Somos Dental you can find dentists who have extensive experience with diabetic patients.

Description: Hustlers 2019 Full Movie in English 720p and 480p
In 2014, journalist Elizabeth investigates a story involving Dorothy, also known as Destiny, a former stripper, and her mentor Ramona Vega. The story traces back to seven years earlier when Destiny worked at a New York City strip club called Moves to support her grandmother. Struggling financially, Destiny is captivated by Ramona’s success and charisma. The two form a close bond, becoming a powerful duo in the club. Destiny thrives with newfound wealth and a strong friendship with Ramona.
However, the 2008 financial crisis shatters their lives, leaving them jobless and disconnected. Destiny becomes a single mother struggling to make ends meet. Desperate, she returns to dancing only to find the club drastically changed, with fewer clients and dancers resorting to extreme measures to earn money.

Gemma Edom reviews The Fishermen by Chigozie Obioma and Gbolahan Obisesan’s subsequent stage adaptation of the novel.
30.2 | West Africa
The Shahnameh consists of some fifty thousand couplets usually divided into three sections – the mythical, heroic, and historical. It narrates the global story of a people – referred to by its author Ferdowsi as Iranians – from the creation of the world to the Arab conquest of the Sassanian Empire in the 650s.
You struggle in vain to remember when it all started. But the more you think, the murkier it gets in your brain, to the point that you can’t distinguish reality from daydream.
That a Black, West African Muslim exists in the world today should not come as a surprise. The spread of Islam into Africa dates as far back as the middle of the seventh century with the faith spreading to West African regions that now comprise modern day Burkina Faso, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Mali, Niger, Nigeria and Senegal.
The new West African creators, across music, film, literature, science and technology, working with and from this space, are inventing a future that has already begun.
In 1950, roughly half the world’s urban population lived in Europe and North America. A few decades on, Asia has eclipsed Europe and is today home to half the world’s city dwellers.
What would come to mind if West African Architecture was the title of this piece? A strange mix of images may surface. These are likely to range from traditional adobe construction, to geometric detailed carvings, to modern mega constructions of contemporary West African cities.

Request a Same Day Telephone Consultation
Los Angeles, California Business and Corporation Attorney, Melissa C. Marsh, now offers an annual Corporate Meeting & Minute Service for all California corporations to assist the shareholders in maintaining their personal limited liability protection by satisfying their obligations to notice and hold the required annual and special meetings of the shareholders and the board of directors, and to document those meetings with the proper minutes, or written consents.
If you would like a licensed California Corporate Attorney to prepare all your corporation's minutes, not just the form annual minutes provided by document preparers and scam companies that send government looking notices in the mail both of which are grossly deficient, purchase our Corporate Meeting and Minutes Compliance Plan by simply calling 818-849-5206 or Emailing Your Request. Be sure to include: your full name, your corporation's name, address, telephone number and email address.
Do I Really Need This Service? Just ask yourself when was the last time your corporation:
If your answer is "Never" or "I Can't Remember" then you not only need our Corporate Compliance Plan but probably also need our Corporate Clean Up Service. To order our Corporate Compliance Plan, or Corporate Clean Up Service, simply call: 818-849-5206 or SEND US AN EMAIL .
CALL: 818-849-5206 or SEND US AN E-MAIL.
Still Unsure? Four More Reasons to Use Our Corporate Meeting and Minutes Compliance Plan:
In my experience as a business lawyer for over 20 years, most corporations fail to hold their annual meetings, prepare the required notices, prepare the required minutes, or resolutions, and the director(s) rarely if ever looks at the corporate minute book, let alone maintain it. The owners are always going to do it, but never actually get around to it. It is only after the corporation is notified that it is either being sued or audited, when it's too late to update the corporate minute book, that the owners of the corporation wish they had properly maintained their corporation.
A client recently asked me to assist him in getting his corporate minute book in order. The client had been sued and the attorney for the plaintiff was trying to pierce the corporate veil to go after the client’s personal assets. While my office routinely performs “corporate clean up,” we cannot perform the service in a manner that would be even remotely helpful after a lawsuit is initiated, or an audit noticed. It would be tantamount to fraud to go back and create old records that never truly existed. Because the lawsuit was already pending, it was very likely that the plaintiff would succeed in piercing the corporate veil such that the client would be personally responsible for the corporation's debts and obligations, and in all likelihood forced into bankruptcy. Don’t let this happen to you.
If you would like to have Los Angeles, California business law attorney Melissa Marsh to prepare your annual minutes and answer your questions regarding the maintenance of your California corporation, simply call 818-849-5206 or Email Your Request.
Your notices will get mailed and your corporate minutes will always be prepared on time. All you will have to do is keep us informed of your business mailing address, answer a short questionnaire, get the shareholders and directors to sign the documents we send to you, and return them to us for us to scan. If you return the signed documents, we will maintain a digital minute book for your corporation and send you a copy via email for your own records.
If you would like to have a Los Angeles, California business law attorney, Melissa Marsh, audit your California corporation to determine what needs to be done to restore the corporation's separate legal entity status and the limited liability protection it should provide, call 818-849-5206 or E-mail Your Request .

Whether your goal is to increase muscle size and gain strenght or to lose weight and stay lean protien is the most importat supplement that you can take. Protein is the building block of muscle, and without enough of it, your body won’t build muscle. Protien supplements are completely safe with not side effects unless you are take over 900 grams of protein a day. Many protein shakes are available as protein powder in bulk containers, ready to go protein shakes in single serving containers which don’t require additional liquids or containers, or even available in protein powder single serve packages! We recommend supplementing your diet with at least 2 to 3 protein shakes a day, making sure that one of the protein drinks are taken immediately after a workout to help replenish diminished resources.
So the obvious thing to be thinking now is, “why do I need protein shakes, can’t I just get enough of it from regular foods?” The answer to that question is yes! But the problem here is, since we all know that for best results we should try to eat at least 1.5 gram of protein per kg of body weight, it gets VERY hard to eat so much regular food every day. Not many people have time to make chicken breasts all day long, which is where protein shakes come in. They take just a minute or 2 to prepare, just scoop out the powder, put it in a cup, pour in a liquid of some kind (anything from water, to milk, to fruit juice), and mix it with a spoon for about 20 seconds, and drink. Each scoop usually has about 17.5 grams of protein and is WAY more convenient then eating a regular food.
Of course, you should try to get most of your daily protein from regular foods, however, there are a few times of the day where protein shakes would be better then eating a regular food. One of these times is first thing in the morning. Your body has not eaten for the last 8 or so hours while you were sleeping, so a whey protein shake (which is the fastest digesting protein there is) would be the perfect thing to give your body. The same goes for directly after your workout. This is probably the most important time to have a shake. Since you just worked out, your muscles need to rebuild and repair themselves, and this is the most important time to give your body protein, so a shake right now would be a great idea.
Protein shakes can vary. Some protein shakes and protein drinks are higher in carbohydrates, and some protein drinks are very low in carbohydrates, making it ideal for low glycemic and low carbohydrate dieting. Protein shakes are available in several great tasting flavors to keep your palate from boredom while at the same time, making sure your body gets it adequate protein intake and nutrients. Most protein shakes and proteins drinks taste best chilled or over ice. Protein powders are even a great idea to add to smoothies, as along with the antioxidants provided by the fruit, you are also getting a boost of energy and nutrients from the protein mix!
So How Much Protein Should I Take
The RDA for protein for sedentary adults is 0.36 grams per pound of body weight, or about 42 grams of protein for someone who weighs 130 pounds. Health experts say that at maximum, athletes may require 0.55 to 0.73 grams per pound. So a 130-pound athlete who works out strenuously would probably need about 94 grams at most. When you consider that the average woman eats 64 grams of protein daily, and the average man 92, and that athletes generally eat more calories and thus more protein than average, it’s clear there’s not a big protein gap to be filled. On the other hand, Professional Bodybuilder will say the requirements for building solid lean muscles are 1 1/2 – 2 grams per pound.

Remote DBA, Remote Database Administration, DBA Outsourcing, on SQL Server, Oracle, DB2 UDB, Informix and Sybase database platforms
G&G is a leader among Remote DBA (Remote Database Administration) outsourcing service providers. Our database experts (in SQL Server, Oracle, DB2 UDB, Informix and Sybase) monitor your production environment and respond to your database needs 24x7x365. We are the leading outsourced database administration (DBA) company with a team of Oracle, SQL and DB2 experts. We have the state-of-the-art tools and skills not only to provide proactive monitoring of your company’s valuable data, but also to enhance the performance of your Oracle, MS SQL Server and DB2 systems.
Remote DBA (Remote Database Administration) is the most cost-effective way to monitor the health of your Oracle and Microsoft SQL Server database systems. Among various IT managed services, particularly database administration and consulting can be uniquely outsourced from your company’s IT operations.
It’s a unique but arcane technical skill — an infrastructure-support role that’s well suited to and easily secured for effective off-site management. DBA outsourcing is the intelligent choice for companies those are: interested in the expertise available from a dedicated database consulting and administration firm; eager to reduce DBA costs; fed up with the preoccupation of recruiting and retaining DBA staff; or unable to justify a full-time DBA staff.
Remote DBA services (remote database administration), and remote (SQL, DB2, Sybase & Oracle) DBA outsourcing services have become an attractive option for most small and medium size companies. Oracle Corporation white papers suggest that more than 75% of all Oracle database outages are attributable to human errors. By hiring the services of recognized Oracle DBA experts and other database support staff, companies can avoid the potential downtime associated with human error. With remote DBA support you can be assured that your database is being supported by a competent professional who is thoroughly familiar with your database. With a full-time DBA, high attrition has also become a major problem. With remote DBA services, you buy only those DBA services that you require, and only at the levels you require the service. Full-time in-house Oracle DBAs commonly cost over $80,000/year and require more than $5,000 in training every year to keep them current with the technology. Many corporations with stable Oracle databases cannot justify the costs of a full time DBA. More importantly you do not need to wait for weeks while a new DBA becomes familiar with your databases or gets more training for a new version of Oracle, SQL Server, DB2 UDB, or Sybase. With Remote Oracle DBA support and SQL support, you can be rest assured that your databases are getting the best possible attention. This allows IT managers to focus on other important issues and maximize their productivity.
G&G provides the following remote DBA outsourcing services
24×7 database monitoring services to monitor the health of your Oracle, SQL Server, DB2 and Sybase database systems. You get the benefits of early detection and diagnosis, which improves system reliability, availability and performance; notification before your customers or users know there’s a problem; redundant and secure monitoring — using industry-proven commercial monitoring tools at our operations center; guaranteed response times to give you peace of mind; monthly reporting to provide trend analysis and system recommendations (as necessary); allows you to free your DBA resources to focus on core competencies.
Performance Tuning of your Oracle, MS SQL Server, DB2 UDB, and Sybase systems. In recognizing the performance challenges you face everyday, we help you to optimize instance efficiency of your database environment. The key benefits you get are: increased response time, throughput and instance efficiency; enhanced performance of CPU, memory and disk I/O resources; unit consumption and capacity improvements; increased performance of SQL statements.
Fast fault recovery, data protection and disaster planning of your databases. In recognizing the high availability challenges you face, we help you plan for the highest levels of fault tolerance against all forms of unplanned downtime, including system faults, data corruption, human error and disaster. You get the benefits of having near continuous access to data with minimal interruption by hardware and software component failures; quickly and automatically recover from instance failures and resume services without having to wait for repairs to be made to the failed node; and your database can survive disasters, human errors, corruptions, and other planned or unplanned outages that can otherwise incapacitate a database.
Database migration services by our DBAs who plan, configure and migrate data from one database platform to another — or migrate a database from one server to another. You get the key benefits of rapid implementation of Oracle and MS SQL Server technology quickly and effectively; reduce the complexity, time, and cost associated with a database migration — with the security of knowing that your systems have been accurately migrated.
Data Replication services for Oracle, SQL Server and other databases, with available data replication features that provide users with fast, local access to shared data, and protects the availability of applications because alternate data access options exist. In recognizing the data replication challenges you face, we help you to implement a data replication solution that’s right for you. You get the key benefits of allowing multiple sites to keep copies of the same data which is useful when multiple sites need to read the same data or need separate servers for reporting applications; separate OLTP applications from read-intensive applications, such as OLAP, data marts or data warehouses; allowing greater autonomy, so that users can work with copies of data while disconnected and then propagate changes they make to other databases when connected; increasing aggregate read performance.
Backup, Recovery and Data Security services for Oracle, SQL Server, and other databases. In recognizing the data security challenges you face, we help you plan for the highest levels of security against all forms of intrusion to your database. You get the benefits of deep data protection, ensuring well-formed, comprehensive security; Internet-scale security, which allows user and privilege management to scale to hundreds of thousands of users accessing data; secure hosting and data exchange, enabling economical, secure partitioning of data access by customer or by user, while supporting secure data sharing among communities of interest.

Why do you think this board is valuable to the field of endovascular medicine? Currently, there are not enough specialists in vascular medicine to care for the vast majority of patients with systemic atherosclerosis. So many different specialists are involved in the care of these patients that it is difficult to know who truly has expertise in the overall management of patients with vascular disease. The concept behind the creation of the American Board of Vascular Medicine was to set a standard level so that people who are truly committed to managing these patients and the field can demonstrate their expertise through board certification. Obviously, the ultimate goal is to gain ABVM recognition by the American Board of Medical Specialties as a subspecialty in medicine, surgery or radiology.
