Nick Thomas

Swimmer Nick Thomas has died while trying to cross the English Channel.
The 45-year-old endurance athlete, from Ellesmere in Shropshire, had been swimming for around 16 hours when he got into difficulties, the Channel Swimming and Piloting Federation told the BBC.
A tweet from Enduroman events paid tribute to Mr Thomas, stating: "Our friend Nick Thomas left us whilst doing what he loved - he just kept going. He'll always be a part of what we do and who we are."

Rescuers pulled him out of the water 10 miles from the coast of Calais and administered CPR, but he later died in hospital.
The veteran Ironman and Ultraman triathlete was crowned Enduroman #19 in 2014, according to the Shropshire Star.
His last tweet on August 15 read: "On standby and Still awaiting a chance to start swim, new tides start today and weather dictates there will be no swimmers in near future."
Before that, on August 4, he wrote: "Morning dip, just ticking over awaiting judgement day.

Medically it is referred to as "plasma ultra-filtrate". It is a purified derivative of the blood itself, made by the kidneys--whose principal function is not excretion but regulation of all the elements and their concentrations in the blood. Urine can be compared to leftovers from a meal, and this metaphor may help us understand why our bodies excrete elements that are valuable to our health and well-being. Nutrient-filled blood passes through the liver where toxins are removed to be excreted as solid waste. Eventually, this purified "clean" blood undergoes a filtering process in the kidneys, where excess water, salts, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, antibodies, urea, uric acid and other elements not usable at that time by the body are collected in the form of a purified, sterile, watery solution that is urine...
