  • Menstrual Cup - 3D Cup  + (The idea is to create a model or process tThe idea is to create a model or process to easily print a customizable menstrual cut for those who need it ,and to fight against menstrual precariousness. On the same principle it would be possible to print[http://commeungardon.blogspot.com/2017/03/le-diaphragme-contraceptif.html diaphragmes]. Not everyone has access to the Internet to buy it online, enough money to buy a ready-made one, a vacuum chamber to mold it and buy silicone. My idea is to send the model and the tpu filament for example in fablabs and it would be possible to print it quickly. Anyone can participate in the fablab for example by making a free donation in a box next to the 3D printer, for example. We will therefore be able to apply this principle in developing countries and in all places where there is a person in need. It all started on Thingiverse and with @Totdahl who was able to print the prototype0 and give me feedback on the file. She also posted it on the 3D printing group on Facebook ,which allowed me to get positive as well as negative, disgusted or amused feedback. Unintentionally they all participated in a discussion about the female body and the taboos it still represents today. In the meantime I was able to meet @JessicaCL from Mission Control Lab, one of the creators of [[Www.openfem.org/|openfem.org]] which had as its project to generate open source contraceptive and protection solutions. "cup & diaphragms. As the site is closed and its project abandoned, we are in discussion to find a solution.oned, we are in discussion to find a solution.)
  • CCD-or CMOS-lab-on-a-chip based on discrete converters of different physical and chemical parameters of samples into the optical signals with positional sensitivity for morphometry of non-optical patterns  + (The literature analysis suggestes that a cThe literature analysis suggestes that a complex characterization of physiological activity of a living organism requires dozens or hundreds of chips depending on the task. For example, there are both active and passive chips used in biophysical, molecular metabolomic and genomic studies in fundamental and applied molecular medicine: a.       allergology (Taira, 2009; Lupinek, 2014; Seyfarth, 2014; Zienkiewicz, 2014; Williams, 2016); b.      haematology and transfusiology (Hassan, 2015; Nguyen, 2015; Chen, 2015; Kuan, 2015; Rafeie, 2016; Mielczarek, 2016), including blood-brain barrier research / modeling (Shao, 2016; Bonakdar, 2016; Brown, 2015; Deosarkar, 2015); c.       lymphology (Hanna, 2003; Shimizu, 2007; Moura, 2016) and phlebology (Franco, 2012; Brivo, 2012; Zhou, 2012; Ryu, 2015); d.      cardiology (Tanaka, 2007; Chean, 2010; Grosberg, 2011; Agarwal, 203; Wang, 2014; Rismani, 2015; Jastrzebska, 2016; Marsano, 2016; Zhang, 2016); e.       gastroenterology-on-a-chip (Yang, 2009; Esh, 2012, 2014), including gut-on-a-chip techniques (Bjerketorp, 2008; Kim, 2008, 2016; Tottey, 2013; Lee, 2016); f.       cellular neurophysiology-on-a-chip and neuromorphogenesis-on-a-chip (Millet, 2010; Ling, 2010; Kim, 2014; Huang, 2014; Wei, 2014; Kunze, 2015; Yamada, 2016); g.      endocrinology (Marchesini, 2007; Bovet, 2007; Srivastava, 2014); h.      immunology (Yakovleva, 2002; Yang, 2005; Corgier, 2007; Liu, 2011; Zhang, 2011; Kayo, 2013; Wang, 2015; Ali, 2016); i.        general “splanchnology-on-a-chip” based on N principally equivalent approaches: “organ-on-a-chip” (Wikswo, 2013; Ahmad, 2014; van der Helm, 2016; Mousavi, 2016) / “organ-on-a-chip” (Lee, 2013; Bhise, 2014; Odjik, 2015; Kim, 2015; Caplin, 2015; Sticker, 2015; An, 2015; Zheng, 2016; Cho, 2016), “organoid-on-a-chip” (Skardal, 2016) and “physiome-on-a-chip” (Stokes, 2015), which can be integrated in the frame of concept “body-on-a-chip” (Esh, 2011, 2016; Williamson, 2013; Reif, 2014; Sung, 2014; Kelm, 2014; Ryu, 2015; Perestrelo, 2015); {etc.} The above problem made the study so complicated, that it became quite unfeasible, since the “multi-chip” analysis (see Terminological remark No. 1) turned to be very expensive and the large sample volume required for such a complex analysis could not satisfy the principles of non-destructive diagnostics on a chip (for example, see (Takahashi, 2004; Feng, 2015)) due to many biomaterial sampling points (for example, see (Ando, 1987; Nikolaidis, 2012)) standardized in the protocols for biomedical and veterinary diagnostics. On the other hand, the difference and variety of the sampling and the sample preparation techniques for different microchips and standard diagnostic methods made the problem of analyzing the complex biochemical physiological state of the organism unimplementable and poorly informative. It is quite obvious that for the purpose of compatibility and comparability of the measurement using different analytical devices (see Terminological note No. 2) it is necessary to provide the compatibility and comparability of the sampling and the sample preparation methods. In the ideal case, all the analytical procedures should be performed with a single uniformly calibrated device using the same sample for all the tests without moving the sample from one device to another. To date there are independent calibration methods for chips (Gillot, 2007; Binder, 2008; Karsunke, 2009; Nakamoto, 2010; März, 2010; Song, 2012; Buchegger, 2014), as well as the calibration protocols for other analytical methods (including the imaging ones) using chips (Su, 2016; Garnica-Garza, 2009). Hence, we need an equivalent of cross-calibration in the interpretation close to that given by NIST for cytometry (Hoffman, 2012), although the term was used much earlier in radiology (including tomography) and nuclear medicine (Paans, 1989; Genant, 1994; Tothil, 1995;  Grampp, 2000; Geworski, 2002; Hetland, 2009; Garnica-Garza, 2009), as well as in the number of spectroscopic methods applied for the biomaterial analysis (Kwiatkowska, 2008; Wang, 2012; Poto, 2015; Liu, 2016). In addition, when we deal with the structured samples such as biological tissues, it is also important to obtain information on the spatial distribution of the substance or property analyzed in the image form, for example: o   magnetic field imaging; o   electrochemical parameters and field gradient; o   laser beam transmission outside the visible spectral range; o   distribution of the emitting regions in autoradiography; o   polarization characteristics and the angular fluorescence polarization; o   the local temperature of the sample at different points on a chip{etc.} Moving the sample from one microscope to another makes it difficult to establish the correspondence (colocalization) between the regions of interest (ROI) for different wavelength ranges (or different physical characteristics) allowing to perform the mapping and identification of the components under investigation due to the difference of visualization in different spectral ranges (or different physical “descriptors”). This prevents one from combination of the signal distribution maps from different spectral regions, and hence, makes it impossible to establish the correlations between the presence and distribution of the certain components or physical and chemical properties in the sample / tissue. Since different components of the analyte possess a number of colocalized characteristics in different spectral ranges (Zimmermann, 2005; Gavrilovic, 2009), it is possible to perform either a simultaneous or a sequential mapping and identification of several tissue components based on the physically different properties. For example, some target components can be visualized using non-spectral properties, such as magnetic fields (Gruschke, 2012; Kim, 2015; Hejazian, 2015), labeled atom diffusion (for example, see: Parker, 1981; Galbraith, 1981; Blakely, 1986; Hein, 1986; Nemecz, 1988; Pouteau, 2003), temperature maps (Choudhury, 2012; Rosenthal, 2014;  Karadimitriou, 2014; Meng, 2015; Lo, 2016) or redox maps (including ratiometric those (Herman, 2005;  Hilderbrand, 2008; Zhang, 2015; Chen, 2015; Pan, 2016)) on a chip (Jezierski, 2013; Gashti, 2016). We propose to implement a full range of methods for mapping the biological tissue parameters with or without specific labels using planar transducers / converters of the non-optical signal to the optical one, as will be described below. This will also result in the substitution of a number of independent expensive diagnostic devices with a simple unified complex diagnostic and analytical device. The operator of such a complex lab-on-a-chip will predominantly perform data analysis and processing (a so-called data mining, which is now mainly used not in the active mapping or imaging chips, but in the passive chips for genomic and peptidomic investigations (Lee, 2001; Smith, 2005; Abascal, 2008; Ghanekar, 2008; Usui, 2009;  Nussbeck, 2013)) rather than routine analytical procedures (such as sampling and dropping (Fang, 2002; Du, 2005; Cellar, 2005; Huynh, 2006; Zhang, 2007; Do, 2008; Jang, 2009; Kertesz, 2010; Sun, 2010; Coskun, 2010; Wu, 2012)) due to an automatic machinery. This is in consistence with the modern trends in the development of the information society and the extension of the applicability of the chemoinformatic (“chemobioinformatic” (Basak, 2012)) software for biomedical and pharmaceutical (Weinstein, 2001; Shedden, 2003; Shedden, 2004; Parker, 2004; Ghose, 2006; Kong, 2008;  Speck-Planche, 2014; Capasso, 2015; Gromova, 2016), agrobiological and biotechnological problems (Speck-Planche, 2012; Grädow, 2014). In this regard, the design of the above proposed complex devices for multi-parametric analysis and mapping of the samples is of great importance for analytical practice both for improving the quality and information content of the analysis and for the rational use of the working time of the analyst. The possibility of connecting such devices to the PC and mobile network resources (Lillehoi, 2013; Wu, 2014; Pan, 2014; Koydemir, 2015; Bhavnani, 2016) allows to improve the quality of telemedicine (Fleck, 1999; Bishara, 2011; Balsam, 2015), GIS – coupled analysis / sample analysis in the field conditions with the geodetic reference (Senbanjo, 2012 Gerald, 2014; Ferguson, 2016), quality control on a chip (Shearstone, 2002; Hartman, 2005; Zhang, 2005; Stokes, 2007; Pierzchalski, 2012) in chemical and biotechnological industry using SCADA and similar systems (Gieling, 1996; Ozdemir, 2006; Smith, 2006; Moya, 2009). The implementation of the technology proposed will increase the labor productivity of the analysts and researchers, since the performance of N analyses with a single device equals to the N-times reduction of the amount of the auxiliary routine work compared to the performance of each analysis with an independent device requiring different sampling procedures and sample treatment protocols. Since the first labs-on-a-chip were developed by the author for his own research problems and were tested in the routine research practice, he could easily appreciate the ergonomics and usability of such devices with the maintenance of the quality and increase in the rapidity of the analysis. '''Novel approach''' The contemporary analysis of the literary and the preliminary calculations, suggested using an optical channel for analytical data acquisition with the CMOS and CCD detectors. However, the serial CMOS and CCD allow detection only the optical parameters providing the analyte concentration measurements by absorbance or transmittance or fluorescence of a selectively bound dye. Modern CMOS- and CCD-based labs-on-a-chip fail to perform visualization of a number of characteristic descriptors for many biological and medical samples, such as magnetic fields, temperature profiles, localization of radioisotope sources and selective emission from cells and tissues in autoradiography, etc. Meanwhile, nothing prevents us from using the primary signal converters of the required parameters / variables into the optical signal. There are known: ·         magnetooptical converters and indicator films (Anderson, 1968;  Harms, 1980; Aulich, 1980; Papp, 1980; Arkhangel’skii  , 1986, 1989; Challener, 1987; Mao, 1989; Challener, 1990; Krafft, 2004; Fratello, 2004); ·         radiation-optical (spectro-)colorimetric converters (Apanasenko, 1981; Kulagin, 1983, 1984, 1985, 1987; Bazylev, 1992; Mikhailov, 1996; Kulagin, 2003, 2006; Kulagin, 2007; Sadulenko, 2009) and thin film scintillators (Albul, 1968; Avdeyev, 2001; Garcia-Murillo, 2003; Berdnikov, 2013; Tolstikhin et, 2014; Inami, 2015; Rincón-López, 2016; Park, 2016); ·         thermo-optical effect transducers-converters (Malashko, 1974; Dolgov, 1979; Pálfalvi, 2004; Liberts, 2005; Gunyakov, 2006; Nedosekin, 2007; Loiko, 2012), including thermochromic ones (Soloway, 1955; Chivian, 1972;  Yang, 1979; Mazumder, 1995; Qazi, 2003; Siegel, 2009; Sia, 2009; Shelton, 2010; Qian, 2012; Heo, 2012; Zhou, 2013; Funasako, 2013; Li, 2013; Bond, 2013; Seeboth, 2014; Kim, 2014; Wan, 2015; Liu, 2016;  Zhang, 2016), including infrared-sensitive metamaterials; ·         chemo-optical active interfaces (van Gent, 1990; Wroblewski, 1997), colorimetric or flouorimetric indicator films (Chen, 1997; Nakamura, 2003; Kowada, 2004; Lü, 2006;  Thomas, 2009; Gao, 2011; Kassal, 2014; Mills, 2016; Choi, 2017) and papers (Yeoh, 1996; Ostrovsakaya, 2004; Gaiduk, 2009; Ganesh, 2014); ·         electroluminescent (Vlasenko, 1966; Shaposhnikov, 1970;  Ramazonov, 1972;  Samokhvalov, 1993; Brigadnov, 1993; Gurin, 1997;  Savikhib, 1997; Zabudskii, 2000; Maltsev, 2011; Rodionov, 2013; Meshkov, 2014; Evsevichev, 2016) and cathode-luminescent indicators / phosphors (Tebrock, 1968; De Mets, 1971; Suzuki, 2009; Obraztsov, 2013; Kaz, 2013; Shi, 2014; Li, 2016) and other position-sensitive target signal converters into the optical signal[1], which allow a direct realization of the “two-level conversion” including a first conversion of the analytical signal into the optical one by the planar converter located above the photosensitive CMOS / CCD detector with the subsequent conversion of the optical signal into the electrical one by the optoelectronic converter (CMOS or CCD). The above converters being placed into the cartridge or cassette system, or the rotating disc (this is a reversible idea from lab-on-a-disc design (Park, 2012; Glass, 2012; Hwang, 2013; Bosco, 2013; Delgado, 2016)) can be replaced by one another in real time allowing to vary the measuring parameters, and hence, providing the sequential mapping and measuring of the above parameters. At the first step the single devices (chips and the corresponding readers) have been developed for the single parameter registration (e.g. a special compact device for magnetic field visualization has been designed using the magnetic film converter (flux detector) and a similar radiographic visualizer has been developed based on the scintillation plates). Later these devices were combined into a single hybrid device with the incomplete set of the primary converters for the purposes of the complex analysis (see Figures 1-3). At the final step we are going to overcome those limitations and to develop a hybrid multi-functional lab-on-a-chip allowing to perform in a single run of the cassette with the cartridges-converters the full position-sensitive mapping of the spatial distribution of the following parameters: I.      spectral / colorimetric, densitometric and fluorescent parameters of the analyte for histochemistry and immunofluorescent analysis; II.      luminosity distribution beyond the optical spectral range for laser diagnostics or the on-chip LDV, LDA, LDF, laser-accisted PIV; III.      magnetic field for selective staining of biological tissues with the magnetic nanoparticles or for the on-chip testing of the pharmaceuticals' targeting in the external field; IV.      distribution of the emitting regions in autoradiography and for the sample analysis with the radioactive contamination; V.      polarization parameters and the fluorescence polarization for those cases when the rotation of the polarization plane is a diagnostic criterion, from simple saccharimetry to the chirality-based analytical methods introduced from molecular biology; VI.      the slide temperature (for the living slices and tissue cultures) for determination of the biothermogenesis intensity or the redox transformation intensity, which is one of the most important diagnostic criteria of the neoplastic processes in biopsy; VII.      pH, Eh, pX, etc. using discrete indicator films by the colorimetric, spectrocolorimetric or fluorescence response signal (see Figure 4). The cartridges-converters can be either built into the chip reader (the most suitable configuration for the ultracompact disposable chips without the recording and processing units) or implemented directly into the autonomic chips in the case of the autonomous reusable devices. In the early prototypes developed by the author the chip was combined with the reader forming a so-called self-reading chip capable of the telemetric data translation through a radiofrequency channel (Notchenko, 2012, 2013).frequency channel (Notchenko, 2012, 2013).)

  • Water probe  + (The water probe is a relatively simple devThe water probe is a relatively simple device. Its workings rely upon the fact that pure water does not actually carry an electric charge very well. So what we’re really doing with this device is assessing the concentration of conductive particles that are floating in the (mostly nonconductive) water. Water is very seldom just the sum of its basic chemical formula: two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen. Typically, water is a mixture that also includes other substances that have dissolved into it, including minerals, metals, and salts. In chemistry, water is the solvent, the other substances the solutes, and combined they make a solution. Solutes create ions: atoms that carry an electric charge. These ions are what actually move electricity through water. That’s why measuring conductivity is a good way to learn how pure (really, how impure) a water sample may be: the more stuff that’s dissolved in the watery solution, the faster electricity will move through it.e faster electricity will move through it.)

  • MoodBoxByFaBteam  + (This modular box is a 3-tier set. Once on,This modular box is a 3-tier set. Once on, it provides basic weather station information (temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure) but becomes a "Mood box", here a jukebox actually, when properly activated. === Preamble === This project is a group project (FaB team) carried out during a French hybrid training program called "Fabrication numérique" (CNC machining and fabrication) - class of 2018, July. This final group project involves some of the know-how acquired during the training program and seals the deal. It is complementary with the "Bentolux" project which should be documented and referenced soon on wikifab.org. Instructions for the project were: * create a new tier to the box designed and developed during the course of the training program (3 available tiers: 1 base, 1 in Plexiglas, 1 for LCD screen); * use newly acquired knowledge for this new tier: 3D printing, laser cutting, etc.; * program with Arduino at least one user interaction (free choice). === Overall specifications === After some thought our group decided to create a musical tier - we called it "Mood box" - to complement the weather station using the base-tier and the LCD-tier. Expected behavior is described here below. ==== Starting the box ==== When properly plugged in, the box can be started by using the switch on the front. Starting the box triggers the following events: * figurine set on top spins on its stand; * LED-ring light effect shows through the figurine's translucent stand; * LCD screen displays a welcome message. If no other action is made right away, the box goes in "sleep mode". In "sleep mode", temperature and humidity are displayed with a custom message on LCD screen.

Once on, it provides basic weather station information (temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure) but becomes a "Mood box", here a jukebox actually, when properly activated. === Preamble === This project is a group project (FaB team) carried out during a French hybrid training program called "Fabrication numérique" (CNC machining and fabrication) - class of 2018, July. This final group project involves some of the know-how acquired during the training program and seals the deal. It is complementary with the "Bentolux" project which should be documented and referenced soon on wikifab.org. Instructions for the project were: * create a new tier to the box designed and developed during the course of the training program (3 available tiers: 1 base, 1 in Plexiglas, 1 for LCD screen); * use newly acquired knowledge for this new tier: 3D printing, laser cutting, etc.; * program with Arduino at least one user interaction (free choice). === Overall specifications === After some thought our group decided to create a musical tier - we called it "Mood box" - to complement the weather station using the base-tier and the LCD-tier. Expected behavior is described here below. ==== Starting the box ==== When properly plugged in, the box can be started by using the switch on the front. Starting the box triggers the following events: * figurine set on top spins on its stand; * LED-ring light effect shows through the figurine's translucent stand; * LCD screen displays a welcome message. If no other action is made right away, the box goes in "sleep mode". In "sleep mode", temperature and humidity are displayed with a custom message on LCD screen.

  • Tips to choose the right photo tripod  + (To find out which tripod will best suit yoTo find out which tripod will best suit your needs, you should consider the following characteristics:

    === The size ===
    You need to consider the size of the tripod, not just when it's fully collapsed, but also when it's extended. The volume of the tripod in its folded form will help you judge whether it is easy and convenient to carry around when traveling or on the go.

    The size of the tripod deployed will determine its maximum height, when the legs and center column are fully extended. The best thing would be to choose a [https://www.justcast.com/shows/graphicinsider/audioposts/1252258 photo tripod] that gives you the greatest possible working comfort, in other words neither too small so that you don't have to spend the whole day leaning forward, nor too big so you don't have to spend more or encumber yourself if you don't. is not necessary.

    You need to consider the stability it will provide once your camera is installed. The one that will guarantee the safety of your equipment and the sharpness of your camera. The stability of the tripod with a camera mounted on it is one of the most important things to consider.

    Depending on their material  of manufacture, we will find more or less heavy tripods. Lightweight tripods are easy and convenient to transport but are also susceptible to movement and vibration, while tripods are heavy and provide stability and load capacity but are therefore also generally bulkier and more difficult to transport.

    === The material ===
    You can choose between plastic, aluminum and carbon fiber. Plastic tripods are the most economical but also the least durable, while aluminum tripods are the most common since they can support a large load capacity but they are also very heavy. A relatively new material is carbon fiber, which makes tripods lightweight, versatile and durable but, it must be said, also very expensive.

    === Charge capacity ===
    Do not confuse the weight of the tripod with the weight it can support. A tripod's load capacity refers to the maximum weight the tripod can work with, so you'll want to make sure that the camera and any accessories you'll be installing (lens, flash, mic, etc.) not exceed this weight limit. Learn more on [https://www.dzofilm.com/ dzofilm.com].

    Don't venture to assemble a camera heavier than your tripod can support because you risk breaking it and damaging your camera as well.

    === Ball joint ===
    This is probably the least considered aspect and yet one of the most important because it is the element that supports the camera. It is absolutely necessary to pay attention to the maximum weight that the ball head can support and choose one, if the tripod does not have one, which is balanced by the weight of the tripod legs.

    The ball head will allow you to choose from several axes of movement and degrees of inclination. Most tripods include a fixed ball head, while higher end tripods allow you to change it.

    === The budget ===
    Finally -and this is not the least important-, you have to take into account the budget, unless your wallet is filled like a mille-feuille. The economic aspect is practically the one that will largely determine the purchase of a new photo tripod. This will be the first filter to pass, so you will have to find the perfect balance between what we have, what we want and what we can. You'll find a wide variety of tripods (and monopods too) on Photo24, so you might just find the one you're looking for. Browse the section dedicated to this accessory on our site.

  • The Benefits of Romaine Lettuce for Cats  + (When it comes to your cat's diet, providinWhen it comes to your cat's diet, providing a balanced and nutritious meal is essential for their overall health and well-being. While cats are obligate carnivores, meaning their diet primarily consists of meat, they can also benefit from certain fruits and vegetables in moderation. Romaine lettuce, with its crisp texture and mild flavor, is one such vegetable that can offer some nutritional benefits to your feline friend when incorporated into their diet appropriately. In this article, we'll explore [https://www.petfoodmark.com/blog/194-can-cats-eat-romaine-lettuce can cats eat romaine lettuce] and the potential benefits of romaine lettuce for cats and how you can safely incorporate it into their meals. === Nutritional Content of Romaine Lettuce === Romaine lettuce is a leafy green vegetable that is low in calories and rich in essential nutrients. It is an excellent source of dietary fiber, which can aid in digestion and help prevent constipation in cats. Additionally, romaine lettuce contains vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate and manganese, all of which play vital roles in supporting your cat's overall health. === Hydration and Digestive Health === One of the benefits of incorporating romaine lettuce into your cat's diet is its high water content. Feeding your cat romaine lettuce can help increase their overall hydration levels, especially if they are not drinking enough water from their water bowl. Adequate hydration is essential for maintaining healthy kidney function and preventing urinary tract issues in cats. Additionally, the fiber content in romaine lettuce can promote healthy digestion and regular bowel movements, reducing the risk of constipation and other digestive problems. === Weight Management === Another potential benefit of feeding romaine lettuce to your cat is its low-calorie content. As obesity is a common issue among cats, especially those that lead a sedentary lifestyle, incorporating low-calorie, nutrient-dense foods like romaine lettuce into their diet can help with weight management. By replacing high-calorie treats with small amounts of romaine lettuce, you can provide your cat with a satisfying snack without contributing to excess weight gain. === Dental Health === Feeding your cat crunchy vegetables like romaine lettuce can also have benefits for their dental health. Chewing on fibrous vegetables helps promote healthy teeth and gums by reducing plaque buildup and preventing dental issues such as tartar accumulation and gum disease. However, it's essential to ensure that the romaine lettuce is cut into small, bite-sized pieces to prevent choking hazards and make it easier for your cat to chew and digest. === Incorporating Romaine Lettuce Into Your Cat's Diet === While romaine lettuce can offer some nutritional benefits to your cat, it's essential to introduce it into their diet gradually and in moderation. Start by offering small pieces of washed and thoroughly dried romaine lettuce as a treat or as part of their regular meals. Monitor your cat's response and digestion, and adjust the amount accordingly based on their individual preferences and tolerance. === Precautions and Considerations === While romaine lettuce is generally safe for cats to consume, there are some precautions and considerations to keep in mind: * '''Avoid Seasonings and Dressings:''' When feeding romaine lettuce to your cat, ensure that it is plain and free from any seasonings, dressings, or toppings. Cats have sensitive digestive systems and may not tolerate added ingredients well. * '''Monitor for Allergies:''' Some cats may have food sensitivities or allergies to certain vegetables, including romaine lettuce. Monitor your cat for any signs of allergic reactions, such as itching, vomiting, or diarrhea, and discontinue feeding if any adverse reactions occur. * '''Consult Your Veterinarian:''' If you have any concerns about incorporating romaine lettuce or any other new food into your cat's diet, consult with your veterinarian for personalized advice and recommendations based on your cat's individual health needs. === Conclusion === Incorporating romaine lettuce into your cat's diet can provide some nutritional benefits, including hydration, digestive health, weight management, and dental health. However, it's essential to introduce romaine lettuce gradually and in moderation, monitor your cat's response, and consult with your veterinarian if you have any concerns. With proper care and attention, romaine lettuce can be a healthy and tasty addition to your cat's diet, offering a crunchy and refreshing treat that they're sure to enjoy.You can check more details [https://www.petfoodmark.com/blog/list/1-article/p-1 from here].rk.com/blog/list/1-article/p-1 from here].)

  • My Lil' Pumpkin  + (" Economic and social progress over the la" Economic and social progress over the last century has been accompanied by environmental degradation that is endangering the very systems on which our future development — indeed, our very survival — depends. Each year, an estimated one third of all food produced – equivalent to 1.3 billion tonnes worth around $1 trillion – ends up rotting in the bins of consumers and retailers, or spoiling due to poor transportation and harvesting practices." - United Nations, Sustainable Development Goals Social progress has been stunted in disadvantaged communities which has contributed to the underdevelopment of the citizenstin these communities. As a human race, we can argue that environmental degradation is a result of the unethical production methods used to over-produce goods that we want but don't need. As a human race we even go as far as arguing thag we have to move towards more sustainable methods of producing goods however this "new and more sustainable" knowledge of doing things is only shared with the privileged few. The marginalized and impoverished majority of the human race is not empowered with the knowledge of how they can improve their lives and also be key players in the adoption of new and improved sustainable practices and principles that need to be adopted in order to leave the world that we live in as a better place for future generations to come. To ensure that the concept of sustainable living is adopted across all social classes; equal access to sustainable principals and practices as a knowledge base and complimentary skillsets must be available to all. Urban farming specialist, UFarm KZN Agro, and agri-education expert, The AgriCUL Institute, have paired up as the My Lil' Pumpkin team to answer the Sustainable Development Goal 12 - Sustainable Production & Consumption. We have used recycled PVC pipes, plastic bottles and disposable cups to create a Hydroponics System that can be easily recreated by the youth living in a disadvantaged communities. Having this hydroponic knowledge and skillset will empower the youth to be able to grow their own food, change their perspective of what they understand to be waste/scrap and begin to understand its potential value, understand that it is possible to grow food without harming using soil and thereby degrading our natural soil, how to grow food without using vat amounts of water as well as the importance of water harvesting as a method of water conservation. Introduction to Water Hydroponics '''WHAT:''' “Hydro” is the Greek word for water, and “ponos” means work. In hydroponic gardening, the water does the work—in this case, the work of delivering nutrients to the plant roots. Simply put, hydroponic gardening is a method of growing plants without soil. '''WHY:''' Many experts in agriculture consider hydroponic gardening to be much more than just a cool way for home gardeners to grow a few plants. They see it as the future of food production, because hydroponic gardens can be made to fit just about anywhere and allow even un-farmable areas to grow nourishing food. Because the food is dissolved in water, it goes directly to the roots. Plants grow faster and are ready for harvest sooner. You can grow more plants in the same space as you can with a soil garden, and since there’s no soil, there’s no worry about soil-borne diseases or pests – and no weeding. '''HOW:''' The water culture system is the simplest of all active hydroponic systems. The platform that holds the plants is usually made of Styrofoam and floats directly on the nutrient solution. An air pump supplies air to the air stone that bubbles the nutrient solution and supplies oxygen to the roots of the plants. Water culture is the system of choice for growing leaf lettuce, which are fast growing water loving plants, making them an ideal choice for this type of hydroponic system. Very few plants other than lettuce will do well in this type of system. This type of hydroponic system is great for the classroom and is popular with teachers. A very inexpensive system can be made out of an old aquarium or other water tight container.n old aquarium or other water tight container.)

  • What is Bonus Shares  + ('''Bonus shares''' are free additional sha'''Bonus shares''' are free additional shares that are issued to existing shareholders based on the amount of shares they own. Rather than being given as dividends, the company's cumulative earnings are turned into free shares. For instance, if a firm offers one bonus share for two shares, an existing shareholder will receive one more shares for two existing share. Let’s assume that a shareholder owns 1,000 shares in the company. He will receive 500 bonus shares when the firm releases bonus shares, i.e. (1000 * 1/2 = 500). The terms '''"record date"''' and '''"ex-date"''' are used when the corporation issues bonus shares to its shareholders. Let's look at what the terms "record date" and "ex-date" mean: == What is the record date of bonus shares? == The record date is the cut-off date set by the corporation for bonus shares eligibility. The corporation will issue bonus shares to all shareholders who have shares in their '''Demat account''' on the record date. == What is Ex-Date of bonus shares? == The record date is one day prior than the ex-date. To be eligible for bonus shares, an investor must purchase the shares at least one day before the ex-date. == The following are the two different types of bonus shares: == 1) Bonus shares that are fully paid 2) Bonus shares that are partly paid === Bonus Shares that are fully paid === Fully paid bonus shares are those that are distributed at no additional expense in proportion to the amount of stock held by investors. Bonus shares of this type can be obtained from the following sources: 1)      Profit and loss account 2)      Security Premium Account 3)      Capital Reserves 4)      Capital redemption reserves === Bonus Shares that are paid partly === Let's start with a definition of a partly-paid share before moving on to party-paid up bonus shares. A partly paid share is one that has only been partially paid in comparison to the full issue price. It means that an investor can purchase partially paid shares without having to pay the entire issue price. However, when the corporation makes calls, the remaining sum for partially paid shares can be paid in installments. When a bonus is applied to partly-paid shares and changed into fully paid shares without calling out the uncalled amount through profit capitalization, partially-paid up bonus shares are generated. Partly paid-up bonus shares, on the other hand, cannot be issued through a capital redemption reserve account or a security account, unlike fully paid-up bonus shares. == Advantages of Bonus Shares == '''From the viewpoint of the Investor's''' 1) When investors receive bonus shares from the corporation, they are not required to pay any taxes. 2) Bonus shares are useful to long-term shareholders who want to increase the value of their investment. 3) Bonus shares are issued by the company at no cost to shareholders, increasing the number of outstanding shares of an investment in the company and increasing the stock's liquidity. 4) Bonus shares contribute to an investor's trust in the firm's business and operations by allowing the investor to participate in the company and receive capital in return.

'''From the viewpoint of the company''' 1) The issuance of bonus shares boosts the company's worth and improves its market position and image, earning the trust of existing shareholders and attracting a number of small investors to the '''stock market'''. 2) With the issuance of bonus shares on the market, the companies have more free-floating shares. 3) The issuance of bonus shares helps corporations get out of situations where they are unable or unwilling to pay cash dividends to their shareholders. === How to Invest in Equities & Commodities === Find the best commodity and '''[https://www.indiratrade.com/equity best equity broker in india]''' Both '''commodity''' and '''equity markets''' are different ways for investors to make money and get a decent return on their investments.

The following tips can help you stay on top of things and get through the work without getting lost in the details: Get a first impression of the relevance of the work by looking at the table [https://paperwriter.pro/ paper writer] of contents, the bibliography, and possibly the biographical information about the author: does it really deal with your topic? What is the author's scientific background and orientation? Is he/she a specialist in the field or new to the field? When cross-reading, always keep your question for the text in mind and critically examine whether and for what you can and would like to use the text. Have the "courage to leave gaps": When you first read the text, leave out chapters or passages that lead you too far away from your question! Note down ideas, associations and cross-references already during the first reading: Even if you are sure that this or that thought is obvious - it often does not come a second time ... Various institutions offer courses in speed reading, which train you to quickly grasp the content of texts without reading word for word. If you are interested in this: Acquire this technique in advance so that you are prepared for the emergency! '''Structuring the material''' Reading and editing your sources in a structuring way is a necessary endeavor, and it also has many benefits: It makes the content of the text clearer; books don't have to be read repeatedly; you create "material" for yourself that you can work with further without problems. With the systematic reading, editing and excerpting of readings, you create material for yourself with which you can continue to work in a well-founded manner. The excerpted material is a first text form that you have created in keywords. The next step is the first formulation of your keywords in complete sentences. The resulting text represents the skeleton of a rough draft, which will be edited again in later work phases, supplemented by further excerpts and quotations, evaluated, etc. '''Excerpting''' Excerpting means to grasp the content of a text, to filter out the core elements and to summarize them in one's own words in as short and concise a form as possible. If such an excerpt contains directly (1:1) adopted passages (quotations), these must be recorded with the correct source citation and indicated in quotation marks in case of a later adoption. Excerpting is a very important skill that you need from the beginning. In order to [https://paperwriter.pro/buy-lab-report-online/ write my lab report] be able to take any useful notes at all on the particular articles you read, it is essential to read and summarize texts correctly in your own words.

  • Spinning Kinetic Sculpture RGB  + (<big>Greeting to you Maker !</bigGreeting to you Maker ! Are you curious? Do you like interior decorations that animate and create a beautiful visual show and yet you don't know how to make a Kinetic Sculpture? Then this tutorial is for you :) If you want to watch what the final result looks like: I made a [https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL_7tLqqQRSR_Xd5aRAs7i2mpFPNkJYd6S Youtube Playlist].' This Spinning Kinetic Sculpture RGB is a sculpture you can fix on a wall or on a support. It is made of 2 main identical wheels that spin in opposite direction, which is creating constructive and destructive visual interferences, it is called the phenomenon of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moir%C3%A9_pattern Moiré]. The concept is purely kinetic (spring), it allows the wheels to spin at different and irregular speeds but most importantly to run for a long time (+30minutes). After you rewind the mechanism the wheels start to spin in opposite direction. As soon as the gravity makes the front wheel reverse its spinning direction and pushes some pawls in the system, the 2 wheels are pushed and start to spin again. This is happening until the spring is fully unwinded. If properly optimised and by reducing the friction, it is possible to get a runtime of more than an hour! I got my inspiration from pre-existing kinetic sculptures, but I decided to make my own design and my own version of the mechanism which is the crucial point of the sculpture. Until the day, I tried, made, changed and improved my design and finally made a fresh new version by accumulating all my efforts and previous trials. The result is a fully working Kinetic Sculpture that costs almost nothing and more importantly: the size of the mechanism is twice smaller than other documented kinetic sculpture online! You can also fix it to a support like a mounting base of a screen which will allow you to move it around but a wall will give you a far better looking result. The center of gravity of the wheel is placed so it acts like a pendulum. The radius of the pendulum plays a major role in the total runtime of the sculpture. It can look complex on the first sight but if you look more closely at each step you will see that it is fairly easy. It is also very instructive because you start to understand that every piece plays a major role in the running of the sculpture. You end up with an almost magical piece of art that creates spectacular effects! You can complete the sculpture with an RGB LED Ring connected to an Arduino, an ON/OFF switch and a battery so it looks even more amazing. Please note that only the LEDs need an electrical source of energy. You can choose to not use the LEDs, it's up to you. You're only limited by your own imagination. Understanding the mechanism doesn't seem easy at first sight but that's exactly why I documented everything and wrote this tutorial with plenty of pictures and videos. What was a pain in the ass for me is going to be very easy for you. Isn't it why Internet exist? to be very easy for you. Isn't it why Internet exist?)

    == Trending Hair Colours for summer == Here are the top 8 hair colours you need to rock in summer 2021:
    === 1. Soft Blond === Summer hair colours are not complete without mentioning blond shades. But, instead of a flashy blonde, go for a soft blond this summer. This shade has a slight platinum tinge to it and goes well with light skin. On your salon visit, ask for a warm, platinum blonde to get this shade. Also, make sure you instruct your stylist not to make it look too faded. The colour should be considerably warm without seeming too flashy.
    === 2. Mix & Match Shades === If one shade sounds too boring for a fun summer, experiment with the colours and opt for a dual shade. One of the current summer trends for dual shade is to blend platinum blonde roots into brown strands. You are free to choose the length you want to allot to each shade. Since Australia experiences humid summers, you will probably prefer to avoid curls, especially if you have loose curls.
    === 3. Soft Ombre === If you are looking for a chic hair colour change that makes you stand out without forcing your hair through a significant makeover, then a soft ombre is great. The smooth transition will give your hair a dreamy appeal. Since the sunlight in summers is already too bright, soft hair colour will suit you better. Soft ombre is perfect for brunettes too. They can enjoy a warm hair colour without going all blonde.
    === 4. Blush Pink === The pandemic suddenly pushed the popularity of pink hair dyes to a whole new level. With workplaces opening back, you can still enjoy pink hair without standing out like a college rockstar. Instead of a full-fledged, dark pink dye, opt for a blush shade. The colour can slightly vary from rose to coral, but the aim is to create a subtle hint of pink throughout your tresses. This colour will look best on blonde hair. If you want to try pink dye on brown hair, you should try getting pink baby lights.
    === 5. Classy Golden Locks === If you want to enjoy a classic summer hair colour, golden blonde will always be the number choice. Opt for bright golden blonde tresses that match the golden hue of sunlight in summers. You can also jazz it up a little by mixing it with dark roots that smoothly transitions into the bright and warm golden locks. Style your freshly dyed golden locks into loose beach waves to turn on the carefree summer vibe a notch high.
    === 6. Dazzling Copper === If you are planning to turn a few heads as you walk down the streets, you need to stand out from the countless blondes with a bright and dazzling copper hairstyle. Reds have been trending for quite some time now, and each variation and shade of red will be a huge hit in 2021. It looks good on every skin tone that has a yellow undertone. You can also get your hair glazed post dye to retain the colour longer. After all, shades of red are known to fade away quickly.
    === 7. Warm Babylights for Curls === Dying curls is quite a challenge. Since each of the curl strands exists in clumps, transitioning the shades across the entire length is difficult, Hence if you want to jazz up your voluminous curls without being too obvious about it, then go for warm tone babylights. This includes variations of blondes, copper and even platinum. These shades will add a new dimension to your hairstyle without blurring the natural texture of curls.
