There are multiple reasons to take adopt a ketogenic diet, and it has been shown to offer great long-term health benefits as well. Some of the most commonly sought health benefits offered by the ketogenic diet are blood glucose control, weight loss, weight management, healthy cholesterol levels, high blood pressure control, and improvement of strong mental performance. You may have diabetes, hypertension, or cholesterol problems, or maybe you are just trying to lose that last stubborn bit of weight that exercise just isn''t taking care of: whatever the case, a ketogenic diet will surely help you achieve your health-oriented goals and lead you to live a healthier lifestyle in general.

Have you reach a point in you life where you feel like you can''t go any further? Most of us have. In this book we will show you have to overcome those obstacles. There is an IT in everyone''s life, it can define you or break you. But only you can make that decision. Welcome to The IT Factor

Don''t let your kids settle for "good enough." A Christian home-schooling pioneer and his adult son, co-author of the young adult bestseller Do Hard Things, advocate a revolutionary approach to parenting. You probably already know how challenging it can be to make your kids do hard things. But when you raise your kids to be self-motivated--from the heart--your job as a parent gets way easier and their lives become way more exciting. As the father of seven, Gregg Harris has seen this prove true in the lives of his kids, and in Raising Kids to Do Hard Things, he and his adult son Brett show how you can raise self-motivated kids who embrace challenge and find delight in preparing for productive, meaningful lives in the real world. The road-tested principles in these pages will help you * Make learning a delight, not a drudgery * Raise producers, not just consumers * Encourage creativity by limiting distractions * Launch your children into meaningful adult lives For parents of children aged preschool and up, and with a chapter devoted specifically to the tween and teen years, this guidebook will equip you to raise kids who take initiative at home, at school, and in their community.

Seismic methods are fundamental to subsurface research and exploration. High resolution three-dimensional (3D) seismic reflection data is tremendously rich in subsurface information, yet can fail to map broader geological and or geotechnical contexts. We introduce a new suite of methods for volumetric classification or "domaining" of seismic reflectivity based on texture. The methods are quantitative, traceable and may reveal geological and or geotechnical domains within a seismic reflectivity images, that would otherwise remain hidden. These methods are sensitive to subtle variations in reflectivity texture and have particular application in hard rock settings where change in average velocity may be negligible across rock volumes that exhibit significant changes in texture. Dip steered seismic texture attributes like; contrast, entropy, and homogeneity, are used as input to cluster based geo-statistical techniques to recover new volume rendered image of the subsurface. Examples are provided from 3D seismic surveys in Nevada, USA and Kevitsa, Finland. For the Nevada data set, our technique differentiates textures in thick cover sequences to over 500 m below ground level and reveals changes in seismic textures across fault zones. Also the textural domains provide 3D boundaries that feed into cooperative inversion of seismic and electromagnetic data to yield subsurface conductivity distributions with detail not possible with standard magnetotelluric inversion. In Finland, our textural domaining points towards relationships between seismic texture and distribution of Ni concentration at the polymetallic Kevitsa mine site.

ECPA BESTSELLER • Discover a movement of Christian young people who are rebelling against the low expectations of their culture by choosing to “do hard things” for the glory of God. Foreword by Chuck Norris • “One of the most life-changing, family-changing, church-changing, and culture-changing books of this generation.”—Randy Alcorn, bestselling author of Heaven Combating the idea of adolescence as a vacation from responsibility, Alex and Brett Harris weave together biblical insights, history, and modern examples to redefine the teen years as the launching pad of life and map a clear trajectory for long-term fulfillment and eternal impact. Written by teens for teens, Do Hard Things is packed with humorous personal anecdotes, practical examples, and stories of real-life rebelutionaries in action. This rallying cry from the heart of revolution already in progress challenges you to lay claim to a brighter future, starting today. Now featuring a conversation guide, 100 real-life examples of hard things tackled by other young people, and stories of young men and women who have taken the book’s charge to heart, Do Hard Things will inspire a new generation of rebelutionaries.

The large Kevitsa Ni-Cu-PGE (platinum group elements) deposit, Finland is a complex geo-electrical environment, containing highly conductive ore body within a resistive host. Complicating subsurface imaging of electrical properties is the presence of a highly conductive carbonaceous phyllite. Unconstrained 2D and 3D inversion of passive magnetotelluric data was performed for seven 2D MT transects. The resulting electrical conductivity distributions image several highly conductive anomalies including both the ore body and carbonaceous phyllite sediments. The 2D magnetotelluric inversion was performed using all 312 stations while a subset of 270 MT stations were used during the 3D inversion to focus on the ore body zone. The inversions were conducted on the Pawsey Centre, Magnus Cray XC30 supercomputer. We compare the inversion results focusing on differentiating the highly conductive geology units. This research and resulting electrical conductivity distribution forms the basis of future work in full 3D cooperative inversion of seismic and MT data over the same area.

Abstract: Natural source electromagnetic methods have the potential to recover rock property distributions from the surface to great depths. Unfortunately, results in complex 3D geo-electrical settings can be disappointing especially where significant near-surface conductivity variations exist. In such settings, unconstrained inversion of magnetotelluric data is inexorably non-unique. We believe that: (i) correctly introduced information from seismic reflection can substantially improve MT inversion, (ii) a cooperative inversion approach can be automated and (iii) massively parallel computing can make such a process viable. Nine inversion strategies including baseline unconstrained inversion and new automated/semiautomated cooperative inversion approaches are applied to industry scale colocated 3D seismic and magnetotelluric datasets. These datasets were acquired in one of the Carlin gold deposit districts in North Central Nevada. In our approach, seismic information feeds directly into the creation of sets of prior model conductivity and covariance coefficient distributions. We demonstrate how statistical analysis of the distribution of selected seismic attributes can be used to automatically extract subvolumes that form the framework for prior model 3D conductivity distribution. Our cooperative inversion strategies result in detailed subsurface conductivity distributions that are consistent with seismic, electrical logs and geochemical analysis of cores. Such 3D conductivity distributions would be expected to provide clues to 3D velocity structures that could feed back into full seismic inversion for an iterative practical and truly cooperative inversion process. We anticipate that, with the aid of parallel computing, cooperative inversion of seismic and magnetotelluric data can be fully automated and we hold confidence that significant and practical advances in this direction have been accomplished.
