US Army App To Reveal How Much Coffee You Need

A high-performance biotechnology researcher has designed an algorithm for the ideal caffeine fix.

Coffee CREDIT Cyril Saulnier

Picture: Cyril Saulnier

Sleep deprivation in the forces is not uncommon, so determining the ideal amount of caffeine to consume for maximum efficiency could be key in reducing accidents.

Now the US Army and the US Department of Defense have developed software which could provide answers.

Based on studies researching the effects of sleep and caffeine consumption on reaction times, researchers at the US Army Medical Research and Materiel Command’s Biotechnology High-Performance Computing Software Applications Institute (BHSAI) have developed a mathematical model which predicts performance based on an individual’s level of sleep and caffeine intake.

The 2B-Alert app is designed to offer the user the possibility of calculating when and how much caffeine to drink to optimise their productivity, based on their level of sleep.

Jaques Reifman, who works on the project, said they found that around 40% of US service personnel sleep less than five hours per night, despite the ideal seven hours per night to function at peak performance. He said:

"Each individual responds very differently to sleep deprivation and caffeine consumption."

The US Army is reported to be testing the algorithm on soldiers in training and plans to license the technology to the civilian market.

The researchers hope the military spin-off will ultimately benefit all shift workers, trucker drivers, nurses, doctors and others who need to keep going throughout the day and night.

New US Army caffeine app aims to help soldiers function better

In the meantime, a simplified, non-personalised version, 2B-Alert Web, which predicts the effects of sleep and caffeine schedules on alertness, is currently available to the general public.

The app is expected to be available in the Autumn of 2018.<|endoftext|>No matter what anyone says about Ravi Shastri, I kinda like the guy. Not necessarily as the coach of the Indian cricket team but as a public figure.

He is entertaining and does (says, drinks) whatever the hell he wants

Which is not a recent development. Ravi has always been like this, and you realise that when you watch this old interview of his with Karan Thapar, from the year 2000. Here are some gems from the 23-minute-long video.

1. Karan starts the interview by asking Ravi an innocent question about his childhood. Quite hilariously, he straight up dismisses all allegations leveled against him by his parents.

2. Talking about allegations, Ravi accepted the blame for this one without flinching once. That's because he doesn't believe what he did was wrong (fair - when did drinking beer shadily in your room after training become wrong?)

3. Full marks for modesty, here.

4. #FactsOnly

6. STILL talking about THAT year. Love this.

7. Finally, Karan asked him about one of the disappointments of his career - never becoming the captain of the Indian cricket team. He was quick to remind him that he did, in fact, lead the side in one match and 'thrashed' the opposition. And then added:

8. And finally, some fun stuff about the poster boy of Indian cricket.

The Daily Princetonian article by Brandon McGinly is, indeed, a must-read, capturing well the hypocrisy, arrogance, and cruelty of the Group of 88. As a loyal Duke alum, I am concerned, however, that such good articles on the Group, while justifiably serving to make public the excesses of these postmodern fools, will hurt Duke more than the earlier media firestorm has. Once all academia learns of their words and actions and bogus scholarship, what university will hire them? Duke will be stuck with the tenured ones.

Anyone who clicked on the Zohn piece in HuffPo, but didn't click on her Bio at the top of the post should know that while living in NY, she was a member of several high-profile art and museum organizations.

You know, the kind of positions you don't get unless you're from a privileged background. My guess is Zohn has a lot more in common from a "class" perspective(socially and monetarily) with the people she is bashing (the LAX 3 and their families and Bush) than she does with Precious or Nikki.

Her claims of derision for privileged jocks and frat boys (and "smug" parents who defend them) must be a carry-over from her 60's crusade to separate herself from all those pretty sororiety girls. What a phony.

I have discussed the Duke hoax with many friends and family who have only a cursory knowledge of this case. It is depressing their opinions have been formed by the pap they read in the MSM, or even by ignoramuses like Zohn. These folks are intelligent and certainly capable of understanding what has gone on here, they just have not been exposed to the details.

Atlantin hits the nail squarely on the head. However, everybody knows that open discussion of I.Q. and race is forbidden in the "Land of The Free". We get our jurors from registered voter lists. Thus the "average" juror in any large American city possesses a double digit I.Q.

One of the truly fascinating aspects of this case is the number of issues that have come to the forefront that plague American culture today. All this because of a non-rape case that should have been dealt with in a week's time.

We have the I.Q. debate.
We see the grossly negative impact of affirmative action program;
The feminization of the university and the political world;
The growth of worthless agenda programs (womyn's studies, doctorates in human consciousness);

The politicalization of all aspects of American society;
The cluelessness of the MSM;
The bigotry of the N.A.A.C.P.
The ever fermenting cesspool that is, apparently, Durham N.C.
The toll that immoral behavior takes upon individuals, groups and society at large (Crystal's children - our expense? Let us not forget the immoral group behavior of the LAX team who apparently thought it was fine to hire strippers to come over and entertain the troops;
The failure of University leadership in general - not just Prez Brodhead(they truly are gutless yet pandering).

In America we have trouble with TRUTH! (what conforms to observable reality)

Here are some truths; they seem simple enough.

Women can never be men!
Agenda majors lead to idiocy!
George Bush is not to blame for the LAX player's stupidity. (BTW, high I.Q. scores don't necessarily equate to good, common sense.)
Honesty and truthfulness always trumps lies and political weaseling.
Professional victims (ethnic, sexual, religious) make lousy neighbors and give us terrible laws.
An expensive lawyer CAN make a huge difference.
We will always have poor people. Please help the one nearest you.
Illegal drugs are bad; that's why they're illegal.

When I read this definition of humility, relative to McGinely's Princetonian article, it becomes very easy to slot the cast of characters. One wonders how the NCCU students would respond had they read the following before answering...

"a prominent Christian grace (Rom. 12:3; 15:17, 18; 1 Cor. 3:5-7; 2 Cor. 3:5; Phil. 4:11-13). It is a state of mind well pleasing to God (1 Pet. 3:4); it preserves the soul in tranquillity (Ps. 69:32, 33), and makes us patient under trials (Job 1:22). Christ has set us an example of humility (Phil. 2:6-8). We should be led thereto by a remembrance of our sins (Lam. 3:39), and by the thought that it is the way to honour (Prov. 16:18), and that the greatest promises are made to the humble (Ps. 147:6; Isa. 57:15; 66:2; 1 Pet. 5:5). It is a "great paradox in Christianity that it makes humility the avenue to glory."

texas professor,

how was the racism of your grandparents "mild" compared to what you think is racism in today's blacks? Last time I checked, today's blacks do not tolerate systems similar to the Jim crow segregation system and lynchings,KKK right in front of them like your grandparents obviously did and get a good night sleep for decades( like your grandparents obviously did).

Please. Young blacks are not racists--they are not creating and tolerating systems of oppression like your grandparents did. They can be prejudiced againist whites but that comes from hard earned experience from dealing with whites on a daily basis--there is not a black person alive who does not have a white racism story to tell in their past--that is how whites are. there is a big difference in being prejudiced and being a racist.

Just so you know, texas is considered one of the most racist states in the US. The Jasper texas lynching where a man was drug behind a truck is an example and the Juneteenth, when the slaves were not freed on time and the huge number of lynchings in Texas are old examples.

Our restaurant Le Jardin de Russie, which is led by Michelin-starred chef Fulvio Pierangelini, features a plethora of light dishes inspired by Mediterranean ingredients such as octopus and cuttlefish cacciucco and calamari, langoustines, and prawns served on a Himalayan pink salt block. [We also have our] Leggero by Fulvio Pierangelini option at the bar and for in-room dining. Our favorites are the delicious lentil burger with Mediterranean herbs or quinoa with turmeric, saffron, market vegetables, and almond pesto. So flavorful, but also incredibly healthy!

Sans de Blé is one of our favorite spots in Rome for gluten-free sweets and snacks. Their apple pie and muffins are heavenly, and they also have great pizza.

Fatamorgana is a healthy ice cream shop that is very popular in Rome. They serve gluten-free gelato, which is hard to find in the city. Even if you aren’t gluten-free we would still recommend it as it tastes just as good [as regular gelato] and doesn’t include the unhealthy ingredients (like wheat-based thickeners, dyes, and preservatives) that other shops use.

Molo 10 is one of our favorite seafood restaurants in Rome and we love coming here for lighter meals after one too many pasta dishes! Their octopus and sautéed clams are delicious.

The Proper Flossing Technique

Flossing is one of the most important steps in your normal oral hygiene routine. Not only does it remove food from between your teeth, but when done properly, it also removes plaque from the sides of your teeth. Plaque is the sticky film on your teeth that can be removed by tooth brushing and flossing. If not properly removed every 24 hours, the sticky plaque will harden into calculus (tartar). The only thing that will remove tartar is a dental hygienist with the proper tools. If your gums bleed or hurt when you brush, you are probably not flossing correctly. Tartar buildup causes inflammation to the gums. This inflammation only gets worse until the tartar is removed. The worsening inflammation can lead to periodontal disease and tooth loss.

Proper Flossing Technique

  • Using 18-24 inches of floss, wind the majority around one middle finger and the rest around the other middle finger.
  • Slide the floss between the teeth, then curl the floss around the teeth to make a "C" shape.
  • Slide the floss up and down the sides of each tooth carefully going under the gums.
  • Wind the dirty part of the floss around the finger with the least amount of floss then repeat the steps between the next two teeth.

What is my favorite floss? Coco Floss. I accidentally discovered it on Facebook. Coco Floss is much thicker than regular floss. The hundreds of filaments scrub the plaque. Regular floss tends to be slippery and just moves the plaque around. The flat thin structure lacks the texture needed to capture plaque. Cocofloss is made with natural ingredients and microcrystalline vegan wax. Cocofloss is made with thoughtfully sourced ingredients. Bonus, it comes in fun flavors like strawberry, coconut, hibiscus, and orange! You can even order it on subscription. That will eliminate the old excuse of "I ran out of floss and forgot to get more." So if you're wondering what your dental hygienist uses to floss, it's Coco Floss.<|endoftext|>Did you know?

LOGAN -- Philadelphia police are searching for the man who opened fire on a women's shelter in the Logan section.


 after a star has gone supernova. Initially it would be spinning at the same rate as the nebula, say once every 100,000 years. To speed such a massive object up to even one rotation a day would take titanic energy. Collisions from objects it captures by its gravity would be likely to slow it down (due to conservation of angular momentum).

Second, just because it is spinning is not a reason for it to give off bursts of energy. A neutron star is likely to be fairly homogeneous, and its electromagnetic field should be cylindrically symmetric (that is, symmetric around the axis of rotation). There is no reason to assume that it has some "energy geyser" on its surface that spews out a plume of radiation. Quite the opposite: once a neutron star captures matter or energy there is little chance that it could escape.

The Many Bang theory offers a much better explanation for pulsars. At any time there are many, perhaps billions, of centres or nuclei being formed for future bangs. It is likely there is one at the centre of every galaxy, or galactic cluster. These are continually capturing objects through their gravity. When a large object is being sucked in, it may plunge straight in, or it may spiral in, depending on its motion before capture. When such an object spirals in, the gravity of the black hole will rip it apart.

This process may result in a continuous release of radiation. Much of this radiation will also be captured by the black hole, but some radiation released in a radial direction away from the black hole will escape. When that direction is pointing towards the earth, we can detect it. So, each time the object reaches the point in its orbit where the escaping radiation points towards earth, we see a burst or flash.

This would also explain why some pulsars flash with two distinct periods. They are capturing two objects simultaneously, one closer with a fast period, and one further out with a slower period. By chance, it happens that points in both orbits are aimed towards earth. Eventually, I predict, we will detect pulsars with 3 or more distinct periods of flashing.

This means that pulsars are probably much more numerous than we now imagine, but we cannot detect most of them because either they are not currently capturing a large enough object, or the orbits of objects being captured never point towards earth. Consequently, black holes are also far more numerous than the ones we have observed.

There are several consequences of the Many Bang theory that need to be considered. The first is the relationship between red shift and the age and distance of various objects. The current equation relating red shift and distance is based on the premise that all such objects arose from a single Big Bang at the gravitational centre of the observable universe. Since Earth is fairly close to the centre, distance from Earth and distance from the centre are close enough to consider the same for this purpose.

If an object arose from a different bang, at a location far from the centre, however, this approximation would not hold. An object with a small red shift could actually be very far away because it originated from an explosion far away.

In most cases, this is not a problem. If we are talking about a local explosion of matter that originated from one of the big bangs, then the bits of material produced would be too small to see individually, while the whole mass that produced the explosion would still be moving away at the same velocity it had prior to exploding. This is a simple consequence of conservation of momentum. Most of the very distant objects we can detect must be primary products of a big bang, not the smaller secondary products. On the other hand, if we mean an object produced by another very distant big bang, it is probably still too far away to see yet.

If there have been many bangs at many locations, it is possible that some of them are comparable in size, or even much larger, than our own local Big Bang. This means that there may be other clusters of matter even bigger than what we currently call the universe. Although we could not expect to see individual galaxies, or even galactic clusters, within such a distant object, we might be able to see the entire object. An object of that size could rightfully be called another universe.

It is possible that we have already seen such universes, but have not recognized them because they do not exhibit a large red shift. Indeed, the portion of such a universe nearest us may be approaching at a high speed due to its own big bang. The object would then have the opposite of a red shift, called a purple or violet shift. We would interpret such an object as being small and nearby, rather than huge and vastly distant.

This opens the door to the likelihood that space is filled with matter, rather than the prevailing assumption that all matter is fairly local because it was created by a single Big Bang, and therefore could not have travelled more than 13 billion light-years. Such a cosmos could be permanent rather than having a limited age. In other words, there is no beginning of the universe, and likewise no beginning of time.

One of the most fundamental laws of physics is that matter can be neither created nor destroyed. If you assume all of the matter in the universe came from a single Big Bang, then this presents a problem. How did the Big Bang create all of the matter that we observe? The traditional theory is that no matter was created, rather the Big Bang created exactly equal amounts of matter and anti-matter, so that the total amount of matter in the universe was 0 before the Big Bang, and is still 0. Nothing was created or destroyed.

The difficulty with this theory is that we observe large amounts of matter, but very little anti-matter. The traditionalists maintain that the required amount of anti-matter is out there, we just don't know how to detect it.

On the other hand, if we assume matter has always existed throughout the cosmos, then there is no such problem. There is no need to ask how matter came into existence; it was always here. There is no need to require a precise balance between matter and anti-matter. We can accept a universe with lots of matter and little anti-matter, if that should prove to be true, or the converse if our little corner should be atypical.

An extension of the theory that the total matter in the universe is zero, is that the total energy in the universe is zero. Since neither matter nor energy can be created or destroyed, the Big Bang theory needs to explain where all the energy of vast quantities of matter hurtling outwards originated. The conventional answer is that this kinetic energy is exactly balanced by the potential energy of this same matter, should it all be pulled back by gravity to the centre. Thus the total energy in the universe would be zero.

This is an inadequate explanation. Obviously all of this kinetic energy originated from the Big Bang. So, where did the energy for the Big Bang originate? It cannot be from the conversion of matter into energy, since there was no matter before the Big Bang.

This problem does not occur in the Many Bang theory. In this view of the universe there has always been both matter and energy, and the conversion of one into the other can take place freely.

One of the puzzles that has engaged astrophysicists lately is the problem of the missing mass. This problem occurs if you assume an oscillating universe. There must be enough mass to pull all the matter in the universe back to the centre for the next bang. The amount of matter that we can currently detect is only about one-tenth enough to do this.

Once again, the problem does not occur for the Many Bang theory. Bangs can occur anywhere that there is enough mass to pull together the nucleus for an explosion of any size. It is widely believed that every galaxy has a black hole at its centre, and this has the potential to pull in the required material for another blast, of super-nova size or larger.

It is worthwhile noting that when any of these bangs occur, some of the matter being ejected outward will collide with matter still being pulled inward by gravity. This will create secondary explosions, and the release of additional radiation. It will also stop some of the matter from hurtling outwards, and lead to the speedier formation of a new central nucleus at the same location.

The universe is a far larger and more complex system than the Big Bang Theory predicts. Matter is distributed throughout the cosmos, and travelling in every direction. Red shift alone cannot determine the age and distance of every visible object.<|endoftext|>At his request, he will be reassigned within the district.<|endoftext|>

A couple of years ago, Apple made the decision to build a critically important new product, the iPhone 5, with a relatively small screen.

This decision, combined with the time it took Apple to release the phone--the iPhone 5 arrived about 15 months after many Apple observers expected it to appear--contributed to Apple losing its lead in the global smartphone market.

By the time pictures of the as-yet-unreleased iPhone 5 began to leak onto the Internet last summer, Apple's biggest competitor, Samsung, had already launched a well-received phone with a much bigger screen: The Galaxy S III.

We can accept a universe with lots of matter and little anti-matter, if that should prove to be true, or the converse if our little corner should be atypical.

An extension of the theory that the total matter in the universe is zero, is that the total energy in the universe is zero. Since neither matter nor energy can be created or destroyed, the Big Bang theory needs to explain where all the energy of vast quantities of matter hurtling outwards originated. The conventional answer is that this kinetic energy is exactly balanced by the potential energy of this same matter, should it all be pulled back by gravity to the centre. Thus the total energy in the universe would be zero.

This is an inadequate explanation. Obviously all of this kinetic energy originated from the Big Bang. So, where did the energy for the Big Bang originate? It cannot be from the conversion of matter into energy, since there was no matter before the Big Bang.

This problem does not occur in the Many Bang theory. In this view of the universe there has always been both matter and energy, and the conversion of one into the other can take place freely.

One of the puzzles that has engaged astrophysicists lately is the problem of the missing mass. This problem occurs if you assume an oscillating universe. There must be enough mass to pull all the matter in the universe back to the centre for the next bang. The amount of matter that we can currently detect is only about one-tenth enough to do this.

Once again, the problem does not occur for the Many Bang theory. Bangs can occur anywhere that there is enough mass to pull together the nucleus for an explosion of any size. It is widely believed that every galaxy has a black hole at its centre, and this has the potential to pull in the required material for another blast, of super-nova size or larger.

It is worthwhile noting that when any of these bangs occur, some of the matter being ejected outward will collide with matter still being pulled inward by gravity. This will create secondary explosions, and the release of additional radiation. It will also stop some of the matter from hurtling outwards, and lead to the speedier formation of a new central nucleus at the same location.

The universe is a far larger and more complex system than the Big Bang Theory predicts. Matter is distributed throughout the cosmos, and travelling in every direction. Red shift alone cannot determine the age and distance of every visible object.<|endoftext|>

There's a Saint for That

by at . Comments

For those with a very specific spiritual need, a simpler prayer to God may not be enough. Sometimes it's helpful to appeal directly to a patron saint.

Whether you're a craft-beer producer, a nervous bride or just have a toothache, chances are Christian tradition has recognized someone who may be willing to take up your cause.

A couple of years ago, Apple made the decision to build a critically important new product, the iPhone 5, with a relatively small screen.

This decision, combined with the time it took Apple to release the phone--the iPhone 5 arrived about 15 months after many Apple observers expected it to appear--contributed to Apple losing its lead in the global smartphone market.

By the time pictures of the as-yet-unreleased iPhone 5 began to leak onto the Internet last summer, Apple's biggest competitor, Samsung, had already launched a well-received phone with a much bigger screen: The Galaxy S III.

In comparison to the Galaxy, the early photos of the iPhone 5 made the iPhone 5


 master cylinder can fail due to a number of factors, the most common being corrosion and fluid leakage.

Many symptoms are a direct result of this failure including:

  • Slipping gears
  • Difficulty engaging or disengaging the clutch pedal
  • Grinding noises when applying pressure on the pedals (typically in first gear), problems shifting gears
  • Decreased engine power
  • Etc.

Can a Clutch Master Cylinder Be Bad Without Leaking?

Can You Drive With A Bad Clutch Master Cylinder

Yes, the clutch master cylinder can be bad without leaking, and the only symptoms may be that your car doesn’t want to get into gear.

There’s a piston inside the clutch master cylinder and it has separate channels for hi-pressure line and low pressure (return line) and where they’re located in the cylinder differs for brands.

There are usually chances of hi-pressure leaks onto the return lines as a result of worn-out components or seals. In these cases, you will not notice any visible oil leakages but the system will not work.

Most good service centers will have the necessary gauges to check the efficiency of your clutch master cylinder. If you notice that your clutch master cylinder is failing, simply take your car to the nearest service center for confirmation.

How Much Does it Cost to Replace a Clutch Master Cylinder?

Basically, the cost of a clutch master cylinder replacement varies on the make, model and year of your vehicle. A major factor in determining the price is whether or not you have to buy new parts for installation.

On average, it costs around $292-$327 to replace a bad clutch master cylinder. The cost is divided between labor cost, which is estimated to be between $134 and $169, and parts that goes for about $158.

Can you drive with a bad clutch master cylinder? Yes, but if your clutch master cylinder is leaking, you will have to replace it before driving. If there are only small leaks, then the car can still be driven for short distances without damage.

However, if a major leak has occurred or the fluid level in the reservoir seems low, it’s best to get the vehicle towed for repairs.

New: Haig Club Single Grain Scotch Whisky

Hi. I'm David Beckham. See how handsome I am. Drink my whisky And you might become handsome just like me.

So David Beckham graced us with his regal presence to launch a brand new whisky. Perhaps officially putting us down in the whisky map.. or not... but does it matter? Yes. Yes it does.

Most of the stuff you'll read about the local launch was unfortunately, mostly about David Beckham this and David Beckham that... hardly anything about the whisky, but I WANTED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THE WHISKY!

Truth be told, I'm not sure how Beckham or even Fuller is associated with whisky. But maybe I'm just silly like that.

Anyhoo, I digress. To cut through the clutter, here is some info about the Haig Club whisky which I've compiled from international press releases & websites. You're welcome!

What is it?
1. It is a scotch: This means that it came from Scotland and abides by Scotland's whisky regulations which states, among other requirements, that it must be matured for at least 3 years in an oak barrel... in Scotland, of course.
2. Grain Whisky: basically means it made from a combination of grains - like wheat, barley, oats rye, etc.... In Haig Club's case, only 10% malted barley is used. Wheat makes up of the balance 90%.
3. SINGLE grain whisky: it's single not because it's unmarried. It's single because all the stuff inside the bottle came from a one distiller.
4. It is also a NAS whisky: No Age statement. It doesn't proudly state how old is the youngest liquid inside, but because  it's a Scotch, you know by default that the youngest liquid inside is at LEAST 3 years old.

A marks the spot.
Where did it come from?
Haig Club is made in Cameronbridge distillery, located at a village in the region of Levenmouth in Fife, Scotland. It all sounds very LOTR-ish but that's Gaelic for you I guess. If you're anything like me and have no clue where these locations are, here's a map I've cropped and pasted here, just for you. Just move your eyeballs a little.

I've never heard of Haig or its distillery. New in the market?
The distillery, opened in 1824, is supposedly THE OLDEST grain whisky distillery in Scotland, and is currently (and maybe) the largest.

The Haig family is likely to also be Scotland's oldest whisky family with more than 350 years of whisky heritage. Someone from the family is said to have founded the ancestor of what is today's whisky distillery.
