along with your daily routine and try not to overwork or take stress as stress will make you feel depressed. Adding supplementary vitamins like N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine (NAC) 120 Tabs or Now Foods’ Hep Forte and Quercetin 120 Vcaps, to your daily diet along with healthy meals is always a good option. Zinc and VitaminC really help boost up your immune system Abide by the rules like wearing a mask, washing your hands frequently, and maintaining hygiene. Stay safe, stay healthy.
Routine, as a course of normative, standardized actions or procedures that are followed regularly, often repetitiously
Ma maman travaille vers la plaine de plainpalais. Tous les jours, je vais la chercher pour rentrer ensemble à la maison.
One of my routine : take the train because I live in the Parisian suburbs. In my region, they called : RER. I live next to one of the worse line and today there is a problem (like all week of the year !).
Have a nice day/evening.
BREVARD, NC (January 20, 2015) — The best young minds in Transylvania County routinely work out hypotheses and analyze mounds of data to arrive at scientific conclusions. On January 13, the tables were turned and students’ own findings went under the microscope during the 27th Annual Dr. A. Mickey Church Math/Science Fair.
Board of Education Chair Tawny McCoy served as master of ceremonies in the Rogow Room at the Transylvania County Library. McCoy thanked school personnel and parents who make the annual science fair possible at their schools, and on the county level. She said, “I know that many extra hours are needed to have such an event, and I appreciate your efforts.”
Superintendent Jeff McDaris, with board members Marty Griffin and Betty Scruggs, helped hand out awards to winning students. Curriculum Directors Audrey Reneau and Brian Weaver served as Administrators for the jointly held Junior and Senior Science Fair, with coordinators Sheila Byrd and Marilyn Whitmire.
Fifty-two students submitted individual or team projects for the countywide competition. Eight judges spent the previous day reviewing a combined total of 30 projects to determine winners based on fitness for competition at the regional fair.
McCoy noted that the math/science fair would not be possible without significant community support. She thanked the volunteer judges and added, “Our appreciation goes to Ms. Stella Trapp, owner of the Transylvania Times, whose generous donation twenty seven years ago started our countywide fair.”
Medals were then awarded to the following students, who also invited to compete at regionals in February:

Testing one, two and now, three.
Radio frequency testing has begun on the first Orion spacecraft that will fly around the Moon for the Artemis 1 mission, just two weeks after thermal and environmental tests were completed at NASA’s Plum Brook Station in Ohio, USA.
Electromagnetic compatibility or EMC testing is routine for spacecraft. All electronics emit some form of electromagnetic waves that can cause interference with other devices. Think of the buzz that speakers give out right before an incoming call on a mobile phone.
Spacecraft electronics can cause similar interference, but out in space such interference can have disastrous consequences, so all systems must be checked before launch.
EMC tests often take place in a special shielded room constructed of metal walls and doors and foamy spikes (aka absorbers) that block out unwanted external electromagnetic radiation, like ESA’s Maxwell chamber at its technical site in the Netherlands.
Though not an EMC chamber, Plum Brook’s thermal vacuum chamber is made of aluminium that does provide electromagnetic shielding, making it a suitable substitute.
To test electronics, the spacecraft will simulate a flight in realistic conditions with most of its subsystems and equipment powered and in operational mode.
The electronics are first tested for compatibility in this electromagnetic shielded chamber. Equipment will be switched on to test whether they do potentially disturb one another.
In the second round of tests, electromagnetic fields will be applied using antennas around the spacecraft to test the susceptibility to interference from external sources. The Orion capsule is equipped with electromagnetic field sensors to take measurements as the disturbance frequencies are injected into the chamber.
While all subsystems are a potential source of radio frequency noise, of particular interest are the transmitters that intentionally generate radio frequencies. These can easily disturb other equipment sensitive to electromagnetic noise, like GPS receivers, tele-command modules and other communication elements.
ESA experts are on site monitoring all tests alongside NASA colleagues as Orion moves closer to its first flight without a crew around the Moon.

Yes, it's overdone. The "bath" routine. But it's really the only part of our day I'd call "routine." Which is either good, or bad. Depending on how you look at it. And for this, I looked at it from up above...
A routine day in much of the city.
Greater Manchester Police is grateful to the community of Manchester following a demonstration in the city centre on Saturday.
An operation was put in place by Greater Manchester Police, Manchester City Council and the community in the lead up to the demonstration, to facilitate the protest.
The police and Council worked with event organisers and local community members to agree a suitable area for protestors to hold a static demonstration.
The demonstration, which took place in Albert Square, was attended by around 700 English Defence League protestors and 350 from the counter demonstrators.
In total police made 15 arrests for public order offences, twelve were affiliated to the EDL and three were affiliated to the UAF.
There was an increased police presence to manage the demonstration and ensure that local businesses, residents and shoppers felt reassured.
The EDL demonstrators met at Water Street and the police controlled their movement to the demonstration site at Albert Square. Once the protest had finished, police then picked the protesters up in buses and took them back to their coaches and train stations across the city.
The UAF demonstrators met at Piccadilly gardens and walked up to Albert Square. Once the protests finished police facilitated their walk back to Piccadilly gardens.
Chief Superintendent John O’Hare said: “I would like to thank both the people of Manchester and the majority of protestors for their conduct.
“It was always going to be a challenging operation with tensions running high between two groups of people who are vehemently opposed to each other.
“There were fifteen arrests and out of a thousand protesters it is not uncommon for an event of this size.
“GMP respects everyone's right to a protest, but at the same time we have to balance this with the concerns of people in our local communities.
“We, the council and the communities of Manchester have worked hard over the last couple of weeks in order to facilitate this protest in a safe and responsible manner, reducing the risk of disorder by ensuring there were no surprises. Today, this work has paid off.
“There was only minimal trouble at any point during the day and for most of Manchester city centre, it was just a case of business as usual."
Councillor Bernard Priest, Manchester City Council's executive member for neighbourhood services, said: "While nobody in Manchester wanted this event to be held here, it is to the credit of both Greater Manchester Police and Manchester's residents that today's rally passed without serious incident. I'd like to thank them for their conduct today.
"The police handled the event excellently, with protestors escorted to and from the protest area as planned, and members of our many diverse communities showed the good judgement to ignore the rally and treat the day just as they would any other Saturday in our thriving city centre."
