On the several Mekong River cruises I’ve taken, it was interesting to observe folks fishing, farming and doing laundry, as well as watch the fascinating parade of commercial barges piled high with sand, timber and produce. ![]() When sailing between ports, guests can relax on deck and take in both pastoral scenes and the bustling river life. There are also expert lectures, morning tai chi and cooking classes, and in the evenings, film screenings and an apsara dance performance.Ĭruising the Lower Mekong between Siem Reap, Cambodia, and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, The Jahan visits remote villages, ancient temples, local markets and rice fields, as well as iconic urban sites, like the gilded Royal Palace in Phnom Penh. Once per cruise there is an alfresco barbecue up on deck under the stars another evening, a cocktail party is held on the banks of the Mekong. The dining room offers both buffet and a la carte options representing local southeast Asian dishes as well as continental choices. Up on deck guests will find a pool, and there's also a small spa, gym and steam room. The Taj, one of these two luxury suites, even sports a second balcony with a hot tub. The pair of 540-square-foot Noble Suites, each with a living room, are the most over-the-top of the accommodations. Four-poster beds are set with classic Indian-made quilts and pillows, while wall murals, stenciled ceilings and fabric-covered walls tie the rooms together.

![]() ![]() Here is the structure of ethylene glycol and again the two OH groups make it a diol. The structure of ethanol (the stuff your drink)l contains one OH group, as does any alcohol. Notice the two OH groups, that makes it a diol. By putting ADH in it, it makes it less toxic as it will not be metabolized by the liver into other toxic chemicals. I found out that if you drink this stuff, your liver thinks it is alcohol since it is chemically similar. There is another interesting ingredient in it, ADH which is Alcohol DeHydrogenase inhibitor. So that pretty much confirms that it is just pure antifreeze. Since it is non-toxic they have probably chosen propylene glycol and perhaps another one that is non toxic. Diol is the more correct name for a glycol. The folks at Evans kindly sent me their MSDS. Do you remember that thing that was like a magnet you were supposed to put around your fuel line that supposedly aligned the molecules to make them burn better? Looks like it would be more restrictive to airflow rather than help it. I had to look that one up since I didn't know what it was. Here is another page discussing the proportions of antifreeze. I think they are trying to make you feel that it is a magic solution when in fact it is just pure propylene glycol at a tremendously inflated price. I would just stick with 50/50 conventional antifreeze. Of course there are others that swear by it, the main benefit being corrosion resistance. So some complaints I read about in various forums say that the engine does run quite a bit hotter. These phase diagrams are measured at a pressure of 100kPa or 14.5psi, about the pressure you would have in your cooling system. A pure glycol takes more power from the engine to push it through the system. Second, glycols are very viscous or thick (viscosity 0.581 poise, almost 58 times thicker than water). A glycol has about 1/2 the heat capacity of water. So reducing the amount of glycol means it can transfer more heat from the engine. First, water has a higher heat capacity than glycols. ![]() However, we use 50/50 solutions for several reasons. ![]() Here, the optimal solution would be 65% for ethylene glycol and 60% for propylene glycol for optimal freeze protection. From this you can find eutectic points, that is where the solution changes from a liquid to a solid or gas. In chemistry, the properties of solutions can be visually displayed in a phase diagram where temperature is on the Y-axis and the percent solution is on the X-axis. Of course it does, but that doesn't matter in a 50/50 system pressurized to 13-15psi. One of their claims is that it has a higher boiling point than water. It is also biodegradable, but so is ethylene glycol. Since their brochure for the product I was looking at says it is non-toxic, then it is most likely pure propylene glycol, which you will find in some foods. this particular MSDS shows that it is pure ethylene glycol. It is just pure ethylene and propylene glycol, and yes, some water. I browsed around a bit and did some research on this stuff. ![]() ![]() ![]() In the final phase you fight the Elementium Monstrosity which has the combined remaining health of the four Council members. These phases end when one of the mobs goes below 25%. In phase 1 and 2 you have two members of the Ascendant Council. If you die in the Twilight Realm you fail twice. To get out, avoid the purple adds and find a portal. Instead of killing you the game is simply announcing your noobishness and giving you a second chance. This means you took too much damage from something you could have avoided. If you suddenly find you can no longer see your raid then you have FAILED and are now in the Twilight Realm. ![]() If it is on either side, stay in the middle. ![]() A row of flame will be cast that will take up 1/3 of the room. During transition 2 move to the middle.Anyone targeted by Twilight Meteorite needs to run to the melee group before it hits so damage can be shared (purple arrow on your head). Everyone else hugs on the melee REALLY close. During ground phase 2 (the other dragon) you need to stand four people at ranged and away from each other to ensure Engulfing Magic (stay away from others) and Fabulous Flames (get off the purple stuff) are always cast on ranged and not the melee group.Try to move as a group because you may get a Blackout during this. During transition 1 don’t stand on the purple swirly things (Dazzling Destruction).Before casting she turns and purple lines appear around her. Every so often the dragon will do a big fire cone. Hug on the tank just before Blackout is cast and dispell only when hugged. During ground phase 1 you should spread somewhat and try to avoid Twilight Blasts (don’t spread too much).There are two ground phases and two transition phases.These tend to be the tactics used and you will rarely see less than two dragons being released or them being released one at a time. You can release just two dragons, release two and then a third, or release all three at once.If Slate is available you need to think about swapping the tanks on Halfus when MS is high and remember it will be almost impossible to taunt the whelps during a swap.If Nether and Slate are both available, you need to prioritize these as the combination is dangerous.Generally speaking: Storm > Time > Whelps > Nether > Slate.Your tactics will change depending on the combination of drakes available to you each week. If you release the whelps you reduce all the damage the Proto-behemoth does. ![]() The Orphaned Emerald Whelps cause Proto-behemoth to cast Superheated Breath (big fire damage).This drake with the Slate Dragon means MS will apply more quickly. If you release the Nether Scion it reduces his attack speed, chance to hit and damage done. Nether Scion increases Halfus’ attack speed.Your tanks will need to switch Halfus (and any other mobs) between them to let the debuff run off. If you release the Slate Dragon Halfus will occasionally be stunned. Slate Dragon causes Halfus to have Malevolent Strike (Mortal Strike) reducing healing on the tank per stack.Spread out to avoid the damage from these. If you release the Time Warden the Fireball Barrage will be slower so the raid can move out of the way. Time Warden causes Proto-behemoth to cast Fireball Barrage.If you release the Storm Rider, the cast time of Shadow Nova is slowed and you can interrupt it. Storm Rider causes Halfus to cast Shadow Nova.After that healing is pretty easy so don’t worry. Healers – expect to use 90% of your mana getting the drakes down.The Proto-behemoth flies around above you.Under 50% health Halfus casts Furious Roar which does some damage and knocks everyone over. Assign people to activate them at chosen times. Drakes take around 1.5 seconds to become active and are activated by talking to them. Release and kill your chosen dragons, then burn Halfus.You will then have to kill it and Halfus will take 100% more damage per killed drake. If you release it that ability will be lessened in some way. The combination for these changes every week so you will have to adjust your tactics each time you come here. There are 5 drakes (the whelps count as one drake) around the room Halfus is in.Since my historical crib sheets still see some views I’m going to re-post the ones I wrote as pages and link them up. ![]() ![]() ![]() We make this dish all the time and use what every seasoning meat we have on hand.

Or Press Between Your Chin & Lower Lipįinally, if your hands aren't helping you to reduce the prominence of the gag reflex, you might want to turn to your face. The Hegu point is also known to relieve headaches. If your skin starts feeling the pain of the pressure, though, your gag reflex will be on the verge of return. Known as an "acupuncture cave," this spot makes patients able to tolerate uncomfortable dental procedures of anywhere from five to 20 minutes. Researchers found that patients who couldn't quite fight their gag reflex during dental impressions were calmed and more tolerant.Īn additional research study, conducted by the same Bangladesh team mentioned before, also suggests pressing the Hegu point. Press down on this fleshy spot, and gradually increase the pressure. ![]() The Hegu point, or the concave soft point between your thumb and index finger, is the perfect place to apply pressure when faced with a strong gag reflex. Hegu point: the concave area between the first and second metacarpal bones. In fact, by shifting the placement of pressure on the hand, you can hold off the gag reflex and endure even deeper intrusion into the throat. ![]() Or Apply Pressure to Your Hegu PointĪccording to the same Lifehacker-reported study, moving the pressure you place on your thumb can have the same effects on the gag reflex. The pressure placed upon that thumb is distracting enough to take your mind off of the invading tool at hand and ease the throat muscles, making dental work-and any other gag-inducing work-easier to perform. In a 2008 study, researchers examining new ways to prevent gag reflexes from interfering with dental work discovered that participants who gripped their left thumb in a tight fist (made by the fingers of the same hand) were immediately soothed.Īpplication of the trick varies, but in the years since 2008 the thumb and fist trick has gained popularity. Widely circulated online, this trick is one that has its roots in science.Īs Lifehacker reports, a strong gag reflex can be countered and distracted by encircling your left thumb in a fist-and it works quickly. Getting over your gag reflex is most commonly attempted through this method: a tough thumb-squeeze. Whether triggered via touch, sight, sound, or scent, all gag reflexes are simply an attempt to keep us safe. Our body reacts in such a way to prevent foreign objects that are potentially harmful from entering through the throat. When someone else pukes and we're there to watch, we immediately feel our throat muscles contract -and it's also disgusting.Īlthough it can be problematic and unpleasant, researchers Sarapur and Shilpashree note that both forms of the gag reflex are both normal and protective. We react psychologically, however, when it comes to scenarios like vomit. When something slides too far down our throat, we react by immediately trying to expel the invading force. The first is what makes it a true reflex. In a study conducted by Bangladesh researchers Shriprasad Sarapur and Shilpashree H.S., the gag reflex is explained in two ways: physiological and psychological. ![]() ![]() ![]() And the gift-giving was just the icing on the cake.

Mint Choco Cookie and Cocoa Cookie were two of your closest friends, and they were always so giving, even from early on in your friendship. They’d always go out of their way to make or buy or gift you things, but whenever you’d offer to do the same, the two cookies would wave the suggestion off. On the table sat a cup of cocoa with a layer of mint whipped cream swirling up to cover the drink, mini-marshmallows nestled in the cream, and by it’s slice side was a plated slice of mint chocolate cake.Īs much as you loved how sweet the couple was, you often felt… Almost indebted to them, considering the frequency of their gift-giving. They had been rather eager to sit you down for your treats. Perhaps the difference was that they had baked something for you instead, and were excited to see your reaction. Both Cocoa and Mint Choco were very giving cookies - which you knew from experience. ![]() After all, it wasn’t the first time they had given you something.

Still, you trembled and panted as you kneeled in the snow. It’s just your luck, isn’t it? You lost your footing, slipping on something left underneath the snow and had slid to your hands and knees, shaking and panting.

YESSS I LOVE THIS SM >:333c it’s such a great idea for a creepy/scary scenario! ![]() ![]() ![]() Other countries including Mexico, the Philippines, the Caribbean, and French Polynesia had previously expressed concern about sunscreens destroying coral reefs. The bill (SB 2571- M.Gabbard (D)), is billed as “the-first-in-the-world law” and goes into effect in January 2021. So, Hawaii Governor David Ige (D) signed the sunscreen bill on July 3, making Hawaii the first state in the nation to enact legislation to protect its marine ecosystem by banning both Oxybenzone and Octinoxate 7. For those who did not read my June 2018 “Sunscreen Filter” column in Happi 6, I would urge them to do so to realize the calamity that the sunscreen industry is currently in-and will remain in-unless we react promptly and decisively. 5 Unfortunately, the Commissioner did not address the FDA’s inaction in approving better UVA filters pending under the TEA process that would truly assist American consumers reduce the incidence of skin cancer. Recently, FDA commissioner Gottlieb issued FDA actions to keep consumers safe from the harmful effects of sun exposure and ensure the long-term safety and benefits of sunscreens. We will see if that holds true considering that the current Supreme Court nominee process, with its increased scrutiny, may undoubtedly delay this process. Pre-conferencing would include working out in advance some of the differences between the two bills so that they can pass one version acceptable to both and, hopefully, the bill will be signed by the end of July. Now both the House and the Senate enter into a process known as “pre-conferencing” before they bring the bill to the House and Senate floors for all the members to vote on. The House Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Senate HELP (Health, Education, Labor and Pensions) committee have marked-up and passed OTC Reform legislation through their committees.

But it does refute my earlier expressed views that novel research on sunscreen ingredients is dead or non-existent!Ĭonsumer Reports (CR) studied 73 sunscreens on the market and evaluated their UVA protection, UVB (SPF) protection, variability in testing of their reported SPF values, their cost per ounce and the active ingredients present in each product.

Hundreds of articles have been written espousing the best and the worst sunscreens to use for protection. The FDA has issued warnings to the public about the use of edible sunscreens.
