China quadruples rice imports for no apparent reason
Shoppers purchase discount rice at a supermarket in Chongqing (China Daily)
United Nations agricultural experts are reporting confusion, afterfigures show that China imported 2.6 million tons of rice in 2012,substantially more than a four-fold increase over the 575,000 tonsimported in 2011. The confusion stems from the fact that there is noobvious reason for vastly increased imports, since there has been norice shortage in China. The speculation is that Chinese importers aretaking advantage of low international prices, but all that means isthat China's own vast supplies of domestically grown rice are beingstockpiled. Why would China suddenly be stockpiling millions of tonsof rice for no apparent reason? Perhaps it's related to China'saggressive military buildup and war preparations in the Pacific and incentral Asia.
Heaven knows that I'm not a paranoid person, but it was just threedays ago that I reported thatAustralians are running short of powdered milk formula because Chinesetourists are visiting Australia, buying large quantities of theformula in bulk, and taking it back to China. There's no apparentreason for that, either. China Daily and Bloomberg and Wall Street Journal
Obamacare causes health insurance rates to surge
According to a study by the New York Times, as President Obama's firstterm ends, health insurers in many states are demanding double-digitrate increases, sometimes as high as 20-25%, because of higher medicalexpenses resulting from Obamacare. President Obama promised in 2008that Obamacare would "bring down premiums by $2,500 for the typicalfamily" by the end of his first term. According to Aetna, a supporterof Obamacare, for people who are unlucky enough not to have subsidizedpremiums, rates will rise 20-50% on the average, and some will see100% increases. Young people will pay the most astronomicalincreases, since they will be subsidizing the coverage of olderpeople. Young adults should expect to see premiums double underObamacare.
We are now seeing Obamacare's increasingly destructive effects on theeconomy that I predicted when the law was first proposed. (See "Obama's health plan, a proposal of economic insanity" from 2009)
Inflation rate following the imposition of wage-price controls on August 15, 1971 (econreview.com)
At that time, I wrote a detailed analysis comparing the Obamacareproposal to what had previously been the most disastrous economypolicy in my lifetime — President Nixon's wage-price controls. Nixonimposed wage-price controls on August 15, 1971, in an effort tocontrol inflation which, at that time, was at 4% and falling. Insteadof controlling inflation, the wage-price controls caused enormouseconomic distortions that cause inflation to spiral out of control.The controls were a disaster, and were rescinded in 1974, as inflationrates surged to an astronomical 12% level.
Now we see an even worse disaster in the making. Obamacare isdestroying the medical industry, pushing medical prices and insuranceprices through the roof. Lobbyists are flooding into Washington todemand special favors, whether they're acupuncturists or chiropractorsor fertility specialists or medical device manufacturers, and thegroups that have contributed the most to the Obama's campaign will getthe most favorable treatment.
President Obama lives in Camelot, where you can pass a law that snowmay never slush upon the hillside or that insurance premiums won'tgrow up. And let's not forget that it was only a few months ago thatPresident Obama was on the Tonight Show, bragging that he was unable to do eighth-grade math, which isentirely believable.
Ohhhh, isn't it wonderful that all we have to do is pass a law, and wecan do anything we want. Let's pass a law to make alcohol illegal.Oh wait, we tried that. Let's pass a law that makes women's salariesthe same as men. Oh wait, that is a law. Well, then let's pass a lawthat says that men will get pregnant from now on, rather than women.That makes as much sense as Obamacare.
Actually, there was one more economic policy in my lifetimethat's worth mentioning, and it was even worse than Obamacare.It's Mao Zedong's Great Leap Forward in China, startingin 1958. Here's a summary:
- 500,000,000 million peasants were taken out of their individual homes and put into communes, creating a massive human work force. The workers were organized along military lines of companies, battalions, and brigades. Each person's activities were rigidly supervised.
- The family unit was dismantled. Communes were completely segregated, with children, wives and husbands all living in separate barracks and working in separate battalions. Communal living was emphasized by eating, sleeping, and working in teams. Husbands and wives were allowed to be alone only at certain times of the month and only for brief periods. (This was also a birth control technique.)
- All workers took part in ideological training sessions, to provide for ideological training of the Chinese masses.
Like Obamacare and Nixon's wage-price controls, it was a disaster,though worse than either of the others. The Chinese bureaucracy atthe regional levels lied about crop yields until it was too late, andby the time the government figured out that there wasn't enough food,many tens of thousands were forced to die of starvation. New York Times and Forbes
2013 versus 1913, the year before the start of the Great War
The world of 1913, a century ago, was an exciting place where life wasgood. The world was dynamic, modern, interconnected, smart — justlike ours. Radio telegraphy was being introduced, meaning thatinformation would speed around the world with no need for wires. Andwith life so good in an interconnected world, it was thought that warhad become impossible.
On the other hand, a historically minded person might have seen thingsdifferently. Particular themes recur throughout history — humangreed, the manipulation of technology, the importance of geography indetermining military outcomes, the power of belief in shapingpolitics, a solid conviction that this time is different. You thoughtthat the debt-fueled boom of the 2000s was different from all thoseother booms throughout history? Wrong. The ancient Greeks, with theirunderstanding of greed, self-deception, hubris, and nemesis, wouldhave been quite able to interpret the 2008 financial crisis withoutthe need for an advanced degree in financial astrophysics from HarvardBusiness School. In 1913, as in previous years, an internationalexhibition was held to commemorate the advances of the world towardgreater integration — held in Belgium this time, in a city that wouldquake with the sound of artillery shells within a year. In 1913,German Kaiser Wilhelm II was viewed by some as a peacemaker. WorldWar I, the Great War, changed everything. To take one example of howthings might change today, a miscalculation in the South China Seacould easily set off a chain of events not entirely dissimilar to ashot in Sarajevo in 1914, with alliance structures, questions ofprestige, escalation, credibility, and military capability turningwhat should be marginal to global affairs into a central question ofwar and peace.

MITH is pleased to announce that Oliver Gaycken, Vambery Distinguished Professor of Comparative Studies for the 2015-16 academic year, has also been named a MITH Vambery Fellow for the same period. Faculty recipients of the Vambery fellowship are selected on the basis of demonstrated work in European and American comparative literary studies in print, in film, or in other newly discovered technological forms. Gaycken is an Associate Professor in the English Department and a core faculty member of the Comparative Literature Program and the Film Program. He teaches courses on silent-era cinema history, the history of popular science, and the links between scientific and experimental cinema. He has published on the discovery of the ophthalmoscope, the flourishing of the popular science film in France at the turn of the 1910s, the figure of the supercriminal in Louis Feuillade's serial films, and the surrealist fascination with popular scientific images. His book Devices of Curiosity: Early Cinema and Popular Science, appeared with Oxford University Press in the spring of 2015.
During his fellowship year, Oliver will work on his project, "'The Living Book of Knowledge': Visions of the Moving-Image Encyclopedia," which traces the history of attempts to create an encyclopedic archive of recorded movement, from the late nineteenth century to the present. Related to the attempts to create these repositories is the matter of their consistent failure, since there has never been a robustly functional moving-image equivalent to the print encyclopedia. An overarching question will be whether the digital age promises a realization of the long-held dream of a moving-image encyclopedia, especially since the allure of an all-encompassing collection of knowledge is as powerful as ever thanks to networked computing systems underlying contemporary attempts to create a storehouse of total knowledge, as in Google's pledge to archive "all human knowledge" via its recently unveiled "Knowledge Vault."
As a complement to his research, Oliver will consult with MITH staff to develop design documentation about and technical requirements for how aspects of prior encyclopedic film projects could live again via digital tools or platforms. In particular, this research will focus on the Encyclopedia Cinematographica collections of both film and textual components at the Internet Archive and the Human Studies Film Archive, as well as currently extant projects with a similar ambition, in particular the Encyclopedia of Life.
Please join us in welcoming Oliver to our team!

Rooibos is the leaves of a bush that grows in the Western Cape Provice of South Africa. The leaves are similar in appearance to pine needles. The leaves are dried and cut into short segments. It tastes like honey and roses and has no tannins so will not become bitter.
Rooibos has no calories or caffeine, but contains calcium, potassium, iron, fluoride, copper, magnesium, manganese, zinc and alpha hydroxy acid. It also contains chrysoeriol which has been found to improve blood circulation. The
South African Cancer Association has declared rooibos to contain anti-cancer compounds. It is used as an alternative calcium source for children who are intolerant to dairy.
Green rooibos is processed much like green tea but the process is much more demanding. It has a slightly grassy and malty flavor.
Our selection of rooibos blends contains natural flavorings only, absolutely no artificial flavorings.

From time to time, everyone desires a sense of escapism. Sometimes, it is to depart to a place completely different than the life they normally lead. Other times, it is to be taken back to a bygone era… A simpler time. At the Paramount Hotel in NYC, patrons can fulfil both desires.
The Paramount Hotel was one of the first hotels to be constructed in the Times Square district during the 1920's. The hotel pays homage to its rich history with a stunning exterior. Soaring arches held together by orate columns, Art Deco windows with sweeping views, and a pristine white façade feel as if you stepped into a Film Noir movie.
Inside, The Paramount Hotel surprises its guests with a completely different atmosphere. The hotel has been completely renovated into a fresh, modern, trendy, and romantic destination. The modern interior is the perfect juxtaposition to the Prohibition era street entrance. An impressive 2 story lobby warmly welcomes you inside The Paramount Hotel. No detail has been spared to make this 597 room hotel live up to its moniker. The Paramount Hotel truly is the paramount in design, hospitality, location, and innovation.
Retail and Pop-Up Stores are the next frontier for this forward thinking hotel. Located at street level, The Paramount Hotel has listed a retail space with all of the amenities to take a Pop-Up Store to the next level. Rich dark wood cabinetry and transparent glass fixtures make the space feel luxe and modern. The environment reads sophisticated, instantly transforming any brand into an elevated designer perception, regardless of price point. The immense 1,200 sq. ft. of available space is an anomaly in New York real estate. Even Wall Street CEOS do not possess penthouse lofts remotely similar in size.
Take a closer look into everything the Paramount Hotel can do to make your Pop-Up Store a huge success.

"We are all here, just because we are a group of abandoned."
I had no idea what RE-CYCLE was about when sitting down in my theatre seat. All I knew is that it was the new
Pang Brothers movie and that was enough for my ass. Having loved their breakout film
THE EYE and appreciated on some level THE EYE 2, I always anticipate whatever project their names are tagged on, whether together or individually. Hit or miss, one thing is for certain with these
champs, you'll usually get pleasantly visually assaulted with their films. In Re-cycle's case that was an understatement.
Re-cycle almost played as two films within one. The first 45 minutes or so was The Dark Half meets The Eye, with a compelling initial premise of a writer seeing her words come to life with all kinds of creepy spirit shenanigans whopping in. The fear set pieces here put the ones found in their debut to shame. I jumped out of my seat like a frog with a firecracker up its cracker and was creeped out many oh times. The Pang Brothers were obviously on top of their game with the commanding use of stylish images and the effectual use of eerie sounds teaming up to scaring my socks off silly. Granted it did feel like a Pang Brothers "Best of" at times with elements lifted off both The Eye and The Eye 2. But on this run, their talent was obviously better tuned and more bucks was on the screen. And then it happened.
The film pulled a fast one on me and what was so far a semi claustrophobic and nerve tingling ghost in every corner story became an epic "Alice in Horror Land" adventure, with a neato concept (think a PC Recylcle Bin but for spirits) and that also reminded me so much of the recently released SILENT HILL, the good parts. I was agreeably dragged into countless other worlds one that had to be seen to believed. I don't want to reveal too much but I'll say this to tantalize you: "an amusement park from hell with a pendulum swinging pirate ship", "a maze of live, dangling from the ceiling fetus…under red water", "a raining of live undead cadavers" and…well you know what…that's all I'll disclose. The film really went all out in sucking me in these awe inspiring, gorgeously morbid and totally far-out settings. And the polished imagery, insane camera shots, brilliant used of color palettes and the overwhelming score tagged to them made it all so much more hypnotizing. Now that's what I call an ambitious film and then some!
Aesthetic delicacies weren't the only thing the film on the menu. Throughout its trek a couple of well-placed human themes were sneaked in. Now I won't list them all but lets just say that "abandonment" was a strong idea here and when applied hard enough, I was touched and moved by it. Tag to all that, a strong, endearing and emotional lead in actress Sinje Lee for us to hold on to, a couple of predictable yet still stirring "surprise relationships", genuine moments of pure tension and a twist ending that didn't make total sense but yet did and you get one for the freaking horror book of classics. Any negatives to puke out! Well the film did get redundant at some point (I don't need to hear the description of the area 3 times), went on for a tad too long and the basis behind the madness worked but didn't fully hold together when looking back.
With that Kit Kat spat, I'm giving this film a perfect score none the less. Why? Because I haven't seen this much spirit, overall superior artistry, LSD crazy creativity and eye-popping horror friendly scenarios in a long time. Not to this degree. This flick aimed higher than aiming higher than the norm and it the mark 95% of the time. Now this is a f*cking horror film! Get recycled with Re-cycle!

|[jira] Commented: (GERONIMO-1145) Too many ORBs (or possibly not enough)
|Mon, 17 Jul 2006 08:55:14 GMT
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1145?page=comments#action_12421558 ] Rick McGuire commented on GERONIMO-1145: ---------------------------------------- I didn't think that the dependency workaround had ever been applied to Geronimo, only to WAS/CE because the problem was never occuring with Geronimo running under the Sun JVM (for whatever reasons). The passing of the orb to StandardServant is an indirect passing. The orb instance gets set in StandardServant downstream from this point by doing a JNDI lookup. This fix places the appropriate orb relative to the activated bean into the context for retrieval, rather than using a single global orb, which would be from the first one initialized. I've already checked other uses of Util.getORB(), and they don't have the same sort of impact. Those uses are for occasions where an ORB instance is required for some utility operation (data conversions, etc,). Those occurrances are fine. > Too many ORBs (or possibly not enough) > -------------------------------------- > > Key: GERONIMO-1145 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-1145 > Project: Geronimo > Issue Type: Bug > Security Level: public(Regular issues) > Components: OpenEJB > Affects Versions: 1.0-M5 > Environment: All > Reporter: Rick McGuire > Assigned To: David Jencks > Fix For: 1.0 > > Attachments: orb.patch > > > This is sort of complicated problem to describe, but there is a problem with the wrong ORB getting used with remote references passed in with a request. In the current architecture, when a CORBA bean is started, it calls Util.setORB() to register itself as the server ORB. Util.setORB() ignores all registration calls after the first. so the first CORBABean started in the server will determine the ORB instance returned by all context.lookup("java:comp/ORB") calls in the server. This value is set in StandardServant using: > // create ReadOnlyContext > Map componentContext = new HashMap(2); > componentContext.put("ORB", Util.getORB()); > componentContext.put("HandleDelegate", new CORBAHandleDelegate()); > try { > enc = new SimpleReadOnlyContext(componentContext); > } catch (NamingException e) { > throw new RuntimeException(e); > } > which uses the ORB object returned from Util.getORB(). This ORB value is used for a lot during request processing, particularly when accessing information from remote references passed to this EBJ. If there are multiple CORBA beans configured for the server, this can create connection problems when the beans are configured with different TSSConfigs. In the case we ran into, an ORB instance configured for non-secure transports was trying to (correctly) use an SSL connection to perform an operation. The connection failed in this case because the ORB did not have the correct transport-level security configuration needed to make the connection. > The appropriate solution would be for the StandardServant to set up the comp/ORB value to be the ORB associated with the owning POA instance (created in the TSSBean). -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira

Did you know that Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) can be used for several treatments, including the following: natural hair loss, dandruff/itchy scalp relief, hair herbal rinse and much more!
ACV has the ability to detangle the hair, and help balance its #pH balance by removing the buildup caused by many styling products and inexpensive shampoos.
Rinsing with ACV can also close the numerous cuticles on your hair shaft, which will result in a smoother, shinier and easier to manage hair. For the best results, mix 1/3 of a cup of ACV with 1-liter of water. Store in a spray bottle, and leave in the shower, using often to help replenish your natural hair.
Hope this helps!

If you want a successful business, you need to utilize Website marketing to connect with any potential customers who are online. This article will provide you with valuable insight for using Internet marketing to build sales and visibility. Once you've read this article, you'll have a better understanding about what it takes to be a good Internet marketer.
Make sure you advertise your business on many popular sites. This investment can make a huge difference and get the name of your company exposed. The more daily visits a website has, the more potential customers will become familiar with your brand.
If you want to improve satisfaction with your website, create a frequently asked questions section. This page will answer questions your visitors have and can solve any of their problems without you getting involved. When product benefits are spelled out in detail, it is more likely that people will buy.
You should invest time to learn how to design websites. Read about HTML, CSS and all of the other things that go into creating an effective site. Take 30 minutes out of the day to work on your site and you will gain knowledge.
A good way to get your contact list built up is by using a squeeze page. Basically, you're creating a page that will draw your visitors in to sign up for something, thus allowing you to gain their emails. It's always good to offer something of value (e.g. a free promotional item) when you ask visitors for contact information. This will help encourage them to share their information.
To increase the quality of your website marketing, start blogging. A continuing blog also stands as testament to the enduring value of your products. Additionally, a blog increases the size of your website, which causes your search engine visibility to increase, which gives you more visitors in this long run.
Be knowledgeable when it comes to your competitors. You can easily check out your competitor's web site and see what features they have. Your goal is to create a better site that people will check instead of your competitors'.
Consider using a web host that allows you to save all your emails and helps you organize your customer data. Protect your emails as much as possible as you may need these in the future. Do not use free email services that will get rid of emails after a time. You need to keep old email. Think about archiving your own emails, especially if you regularly have sensitive communications with consultants and customers.
Target Audience
You need to decide which target audience your are searching for, and what information you will need to bring them to your page. When your target audience is clear, figure out what kinds of things will bring them back to your website.
It's very important to have 3rd party transaction security in place on your business website if you will be selling products. There are reputable companies to choose from. VeriSign, McAffee, etc.) that will safeguard both customer and vendor financial information. These services do charge, but they help keep everyone safe.
Placing wording in advertisements that assures people of instant gratification is helpful for just about any service or product You should emphasize the small amount of time that is required to make an order, the quickness that an order can be shipped or how fast they can be expected to see the results from using your particular product or service. This can be illustrated as speedy downloads, fast and secure purchasing process or even quick confirmations of orders placed online.
Building trust with your clients and keeping that going is one of the most important things that you can do. Only use facts when creating marketing plans and selling products to customers. Testimonials from real customers and experts in the field are a great way to do this.
Open a Facebook account or one on a similar site, so you may send links and information to people in your target market. Be careful sending spam that people don't want since MySpace has been taking some people to court to stop it.
A 500-error page is helpful and user-friendly. This will happen when some database code you wrote decides to just stop working. A boring page that gives this message may annoy your potential customer. Customizing your 500 page will demonstrate to visitors that you are taking the proper steps to correct the problem and improve your site.
Use banner ads that stand out. An exciting or interesting banner ad will attract more attention and inspire more clicks.
Inspire confidence in your products by offering a guarantee that you will return a customer's money if they are not satisfied. Your customers will feel safer and you will be more reputable. Customers will be more likely to trust you if you take all the risk out of their purchases.
Online Marketing
If you understand your competitors you will have a better chance of seeing success in Online marketing. If you can understand the options your competitors are offering, you can stay one step ahead of the game. This will allow you to become the one that customers look for, leaving your competition in the dust. This is a crucial point in understanding Online marketing.
Personalize all your correspondence with customers. Your customers and prospective customers are tired of receiving impersonal, bulk e-mails. Consider how you feel about receiving unwanted mass emails from people and businesses. That is why your emails should strive to be interesting, useful and provide something that customers need or want.
Always use clear, high quality pictures that show off the products your site is selling. It is important for customers to see a detailed photograph of a product, so they know what to expect if they decide to purchase it. Create an area on your web site where buyers can submit their photographs of your product. Utilizing "before and after" images can be a very effective marketing strategy.
Online marketing will help you increase your company's visibility across the web. Web marketing can do things that traditional marketing cannot. Use the information you learned from this article to become a great Internet marketer.

It's an easy habit to fall into.. this pervasive addiction to what's wrong, what's bad, what's broken. It's no surprise really, most of us are programed from very young that we are fundamentally flawed, we have to effort and strive to be "good", "enough", we have to achieve and accomplish and no matter what, it's never enough, I'm not enough, you are not enough.
See the theme here, looking for satisfaction "out there", in the doing, in the mind or in our experiences.. we never find it, maybe for 5 minutes, but then we want something else and are off again on another quest for the holy grail, whatever we think will do it.. a relationship, a degree, a baby, a fat bank account, a big house, retirement, it goes on and on..
So what to do.. all of these "thoughts" arise, this is good, this is bad, it's an automatic sorter, whatever arises, it is sorted and categorized at lightening speed. Focusing and emphasizing on the "descriptions" is the formula for the roller coaster ride for sure! Up and down forever.. it's good, it's bad, lack/ abundance, health sickness, it all arises, happy/ sad and on and on..
Developing this practice of noticing what's noticing.. what is aware of all of this? What is not affected by all that arises and flows on by? What is stable? What is constant?
It is sort of like an actor that can play many roles, one day a villain, the next day a hero.. endless labels and ways to describe the expression. No matter what role the actor plays however, he is still the actor, he is never the character, even if he forgets and thinks for a moment that he is the character, he never is. This is how it is with us, we forget our essence for a moment, getting all caught up and tangled in a label or description, we think we are the character but we aren't. We are the actor whether we remember it or not, we are always the actor, we can't not be what we fundamentally are.
As the actor, as awareness, as what's looking, what always is, we are fundamentally well, stable, whole, complete unto ourselves, perfect. Awareness is not affected at all by the parade of what comes and goes, much like a mirror is not affected by the image it reflects, or the movie screen is not affected by the movie, comedy or tragedy, cartoon or thriller, the screen is not impacted one bit, it remains completely as it is, untouched. Despite this - seemingly we've forgotten this basic well being that we are, we have trained ourselves to believe that thoughts, feelings, sensations and experiences are separate from awareness as opposed to simply the expression of this innate perfection. By the practice of recognition, just simply noticing awareness, clarity, we come to remember that this is what we actually are, rather than a stream of endless descriptions. This is what we are, an expression of perfection.. always an expression of perfection.. always... remember?

Hello, I am new here, and I run a web comic called Hello Prince Awkward. I know the watermarks are a mess and everywhere but Hello Prince Awkward is the first thing under Google search right next to memes of posh children and baby pictures of Prince William I think? It's my first comic and it's on at least two public websites. I want it to make it look more professional, still tell a good story while making it a pain in the butt for it to be stolen property. Compared to the incredible art I've seen around here I want to up my game to create something just as good. The first arc is fleshed out. I just now need to give it my best work yet.

Users on an oral steroid cycle may experience a sudden increase in body weight and muscular development, insomnia, irritability, aggressive combative behavior, puffy face, severe acne, bad breath, a yellowing of the eyes and skin, premature hair loss, hyperactivity, and exaggerated mood swings that include uncontrollable outbursts of anger. Males may also experience testicular shrinkage and can develop female breast tissue on the pectoral muscles. Females may also experience a deeper voice and decreased breast size. Continued use can result in life-threatening situations involving the liver, cardiovascular system, and brain.
Cheap steroids are not sold in shops, it is an illegal drug, buying it on the black market, the quality of such product can be a current guess, you may not know that buying fake or a real steroid. Buying a fake are not getting a good result from their admission, there are cases to the athlete's temperature rises. Some steroids for sale might not be suitable for your body and muscle growth will be very significant to avoid this it is possible to make special tests which show that buy steroids are most suitable to your body. But these tests are not cheap, and not vkazhdom the city make them.

NEW! DMRF Spring 2018 Molly Appeal for Neuroscience Research
Click to watch CTV's Housecall with Dr. Sultan Darvesh, one of the lead investigator's of this Spring's DMRF Molly Appeal!
Click photo to watch Dr. Darvesh's interview on Global.
This new campaign is raising funds for essential equipment our neuroscience researchers urgently require to develop diagnostics and cures for Alzheimer's disease and other disorders of the brain. In fact, many other researchers whose work relies on detailed tissue analysis in the areas of cancer, cardiology, and immunology also need this new equipment.
The equipment is called the Leica HistoCore Pearl. It's an automated tissue-processing machine that prepares tissues so they can be cut into five micron-thick slices and examined under a microscope.
"Properly prepared brain tissues allow us to see individual neurons and even the synapses between them," says Dr. Sultan Darvesh, a Dalhousie Medical School neurologist who is known around the world for his work to develop the very first technology for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease in a living person's brain. "We want to detect brain diseases and intervene before brain function has been lost."
The Leica HistoCore PEARL will replace an outmoded tissue processor with a high-capability machine that will advance the work of more than three dozen researchers, in neuroscience and many other fields, like cancer, cardiology and immunology.
"The new tissue processor will provide much greater efficiency and precision than the machine it will replace," says Dr. David Waisman, a senior Dalhousie scientist who spearheaded the application for the new tissue processor. "It will allow our researchers to collect exceptionally detailed information, with absolute confidence in the integrity of their results."
This spring's Molly appeal provides Maritimers with the opportunity to support world-class research on the brain taking place right here in the region at Dalhousie Medical School.
Meet some of the researchers whose work will benefit from the use of this new tissue processing machine :
Dr. Sultan Darvesh pioneers technology for early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease
Dr. Eileen Denovan-Wright explores cannabinoids' potential harms and benefits in the brain
Dr. Alon Friedman seeks to halt blood-vessel damage in the brain
Dr. Barbara Karten examines cholesterol's role in brain health and disease
Dr. David Waisman explores the role of fibrin in cancer, cardiovascular and neurological disease

SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - A San Francisco law requiring landlords to pay large sums of money to tenants before removing a property from the rental market was challenged in federal court on Thursday amid rising tensions between renters and landlords in the expensive city.
The lawsuit filed by Pacific Legal Foundation on behalf of Daniel and Maria Levin, a married couple who own a two-unit house in San Francisco, argues that the new ordinance is unconstitutional because it violates the homeowners' privacy and property rights.
"The Levins just don't want to be landlords anymore," J. David Breemer, lead attorney on the case, said. "Their particular situation is patently unconstitutional."
Under the recently passed ordinance, which significantly increased the amount of money landlords must pay to tenants if they want to get out of the rental market, the Levins would have to pay $117,000 to move into their duplex, Breemer said.
Under California's Ellis Act, landlords in the state wanting to get out of the rental business can displace renters, but the law leaves it to local municipalities to set further guidelines around notification and relocation payments.
The San Francisco ordinance raises the amount landlords must pay from around $5,200 to possibly hundreds of thousands of dollars, according to the groups suing. The new payment amount is the difference between a tenant's current rent, kept low by rent control, the market rate cost for a similar apartment for two years.
Supporters of the ordinance say that it disincentivizes landlords from selling out to developers who turn around and rent out the same units at higher rates, or combine units to create luxury rentals. Over the last few years, the San Francisco Chronicle reports, Ellis Act evictions in the city have increased by 170 percent.
In addition to the Levins, the suit was also filed on behalf of the San Francisco Apartment Association, Parklane Associates, LP and the Coalition for Better Housing.

Question about ASUS Premium Vista M2N32-SLI (M2N32-SLI PREMIUM VISTA) Motherboard
My motherboard refuses to boot vista after i install 6 gbs of memory. How do i solve this issue?
Posted by iimarceloii on
I have researched several threads on this subject, some say the board requires a bios flash to the latest bios, another said start it wit 1 gig and see if it starts, then add the additional ram after the board boots up. I would try the ram trick first, in the interim I will poke around and see what else I can find. I am using an asusA8n32- sli deluxe myself so it intrests me as well since I was looking at your board as a possible replacement, good luck and let me know if the ram trick works.
It's mismatched ram, get a stick or two from another machine, or a buddy, and try theirs out before spending money, it either blew of is the wrong speed, it appears that everyone is in unison on this, Good luck,Gym
Posted on Dec 22, 2008
"...refuses to boot vista AFTER (my emphsis) i install 6 gbs of memory?"
This portion of your question pretty much answers itself. The failure occurs AFTER you install more RAM. Therefore it's virtually a certainty the exact cause is either BAD RAM (as your web-thread poster correctly advised how to troubleshoot), or INCOMPATIBLE RAM (as "JSGRepair" detailed).
Good luck.
"Today's the best day of my life...and NOW you're part of it!"
Posted on Dec 22, 2008
I think you are mixing ram.... Use the same make and module for your ram... when you mix ram, the problem is other ram can be difernt Voltage. some 1.9V, 1.8V, 2.0V, 2.2V to operate. If you have 1.8V and 2.0V the computer won't boot. Hope this helps.

Hi iimarceloii, did you check the FAQ section on Asus web site?
Using Vista 32bit/64bit edition or win XP;
Basically Asus wants you to use 2GB of memory until windows has been completely installed & completely updated before you can add more memory to the system.
Than you can increase your memory to 6BG. To see all the FAQ's from Asus, click on this link; http://support.asus.com/download/download.aspx?SLanguage=en-us
Type: M2N32-SLI into the search window & click the arrow button.
Good luck iimarceloii!

Abstract: JI2.00003 : M3D-K Simulations of Beam-Driven Alfven Modes in DIIID
Preview Abstract Abstract
Guoyong Fu
(Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory)
Multiple beam-driven Reversed Shear Alfven eigenmodes (RSAEs) and Toroidal Alfven Eigenmodes (TAE) were observed in the DIII-D discharge ({\#}142111) [1]. Extensive hybrid simulations with the global kinetic/MHD hybrid code M3D-K [2] have been carried out to investigate these beam-driven Alfven eigenmodes using experimental parameters and profiles from this discharge. The purpose of this work is for code verification and validation as well as for physics understanding needed for predicting energetic particle-driven instabilities and energetic particle transport in burning plasmas. We first benchmark M3D-K code with the linear ideal MHD stability code NOVA. The M3D-K results agree well with those of NOVA with respect to mode structure and mode frequency in the MHD limit. With energetic beam ions, the simulations results show that the destabilized n=3 mode transit from RSAEs to TAEs as the minimum of the safety factor drops in agreement with the measured frequency sweeping. The calculated 2D mode structure in poloidal cross-section exhibits a twisting feature or radial phase shearing consistent with the Electron Cyclotron Emission Imaging (ECEI) data [1]. An analytic theory has been developed to explain the radial phase shearing observed in the simulations and experiments. It is found that both the fast ion drive and background damping can cause radial phase shearing. The direction of phase shearing changes when the toroidal magnetic field is reversed whereas the shearing direction is independent of plasma current direction. This symmetry agrees with the experimental observation from ECEI. Finally, nonlinear simulations of the beam-driven modes with particle collision and particle source and sink have been carried out and results show that other Alfven modes becomes destabilized after the initial saturation of the n=3 RSAE mode. The details of the linear and nonlinear simulation results will be presented. \\[4pt] [1] B. J. Tobias \textit{et al.}, Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{106}, 075003 (2011).\\[0pt] [2] G.-Y. Fu et al., Phys.

So the day has finally arrived for me to fly to Bali for my Yoga Teacher Training. I've made endless lists, packed and unpacked my bags and driven Jess mad with my Bali chatter, so it's about time I boarded the plane and got going! I'm hoping to blog regularly about my training and travels, so if you're interested in seeing how I'm getting on then have a look on here for updates or subscribe to our mailing list to get emails. However, I have a sneaking suspicion that I'm going to be kept rather busy, so apologies in advance if I'm not as diligent as I plan to be with my posts! I'll also be tweeting at @twinintrainers with the hashtag #BexYTT so have a look there for photos and quick updates.
The training is taking place in Ubud, through a school called Frog Lotus Yoga International. We'll be staying in cottages nestled amongst the paddy fields and have a beautiful outside studio to practise in. I'll be spending time at the beginning and end of my trip chilling out on various beaches and am hoping to do some cooking courses, treks and bike rides through the countryside- can't wait!
I hope you're all enjoying the sunshine and having a great summer.

Noah Grant's poised to open
No actual diners have been spotted yet, but the sign is up, the seafood delivery has been made and fresh produce is visible through the kitchen window of Noah Grant's Grill House and Raw Bar in Zionsville. Two chefs in white jackets were bustling around on Tuesday evening, so it looks as though The Restaurant Formerly Known as Brix will be open by this weekend. The new restaurant is named for the young son of proprietor Shari Jenkins.
Update: They're open! For reservations, call (317) 732-2233.

In the agile world, where individual programmers make design decisions on a minute-by-minute basis, excellent code structure—and the design knowledge that makes that structure possible—is essential. Without it, your code will not be able to stand up to the stress of changing requirements.
This class covers the structural side of object-oriented design in considerable depth. Topics include class-hierarchy structure (and fragile base classes), accessors and mutators, the SOLID principles, and most importantly, a contemporary and in-depth look at the Gang-of-Four design patterns.
The class is a great way to quickly come up to speed on all the technologies that you need to build an effective web-based front end, including Typescript, Bootstrap, ReactJS, and Angular2, which we examine in depth. We also a look at the large-picture front-to-back architecture for volatile environments.
This is a hands-on class, and over the course of the class, we'll build a single-page-web-application front end that leverages these technologies and others.
This class is a very practical deep dive into the mechanics of micro-services: a back-end architecture particularly suited for development environments where requirements and code are in constant flux. The class takes a case-study approach, looking at several micro-services (that implement a small blogging system).
Through a series of hands-on exercises, we'll build several services, using the server-side language of your choice. We'll look at deployment on both your own server and to the Amazon cloud (AWS). We'll also look at two NoSQL database systems: MongoDB and Amazon Dynamo.
You'll come away from this class with a deep understanding of how to build production-quality micro-services and deploy them either on your own sever or in the cloud using AWS.
We are, ourselves, an agile organization. Consequently, we're happy to customize a class to your needs from the material presented in our main curriculum. Our most-popular mixes are:
This class combines the Agility and Designing for Volatility classes. It's an effective introduction to the "Agile" way of working, with a focus on agile culture and non-tribal practice, not a specific practice framework. The minimal (3-day) version includes a hands-on exercise in which we start with an idea and take it through to a design from which you could code. Add additional days to make the exercise more detailed (and realistic). The exercise is typically a problem brought to class by one of the students, and we're happy to work on something relevant to your current projects.
An fast-paced lecture-only overview of the entire agile-technology stack discussed in Designing for Volatility I and II.
This class is a lecture-only amalgam of Designing for Volatility and the two Agile Architecture classes.
This hands-on class is an in-depth look at Google's Angular2 framework. It uses a case-study approach, analyzing a small blogging application. Coming to the class with nothing but a little JavaScript and basic HTML, you'll come away knowing enough Angular2 to use it effectively to build nontrivial real-world applications. You'll thoroughly understand Angular2's architecture and how Angular fits into your larger application, and along the way, you'll learn a little TypeScript (everything you need to write an Angular2 application).
This course introduces Swift 3.x in considerable technical depth, focusing on those parts of the language that you will find new or unfamiliar. This course is geared to working programmers—prior experience with an OO language is required. You don't need to know anything about the Apple ecosystem, however: this is a language course, not an iOS or OSX programming course.
DbC (Design by Coding) is a architectural-level design technique that lets
you build a coherent domain-centric architecture incrementally as
a system evolves.
It extends the techniques of TDD and BDD to the architectural level,
starting with user stories and ending up with an optimal implementation
of that story.
You create the code and develop the architecture simultaneously.
The result is a coherent minimal system ideal for Agile development
environments or any development process that doesn't rely on large
up-front design.
There's a short (10 minute) introduction on the video page, but there's a lot to DbC than you can't get in a 10-minute video.
This one-day hands-on class takes you through the entire design process, covering both theory and practices. We'll develop a working system in class, using your preferred language and development environment.

Elizabeth I: The Secret Life
Posted By claire on November 27, 2011
Thanks so much to Carol-Ann for letting me know about this programme which will be aired on the National Geographic channel in the UK at 9pm on Wednesday 30th November. According to the TV listing, this programme is "A look at the monarch's life, examining claims of illegitimacy, adultery and even the possibility that she was a man" so I'm wondering if it's the same as the programme "Secrets of the Virgin Queen" which was aired back in January as that also looked at the various salacious myths which surround Elizabeth I.
Please do let me know if you manage to watch this programme as I don't get the National Geographic Channel and I'd love to know what the programme says about Elizabeth.
If you're interested in finding out more about these scandals and myths then please read my article "The Old Myths Regurgitated – The Bisley Boy and More"
More from my site

Wow this sounds great. Will be setting the recorder for this one! Thanks for the info.
Do you know if this will also be on the National Geographic channel in the US?
I would love to watch this program.
Elizabeth as a man is something that I can not imagine hahaha
anyway I'd like to see this( the doumentary) ;D
I don't know, Elizabeth, I'm not sure whether it has already been on in the US.
If Elizabeth had been a man, Queen Anne Boelyn would have lived…
I haven't been aware of it in the US but I don't watch much TV so….I do hope to see it, though–maybe it will come!
Oh flip.. just read this at 12.30am so I have missed it, hope it will be repeated!
I don't believe it was aired in the US. But, there is more information on my site. One of Tudor fan pages on FB wrote about what the episode was about. So, feel free to check out my FB page or my actual blogging site. Hope this helps. If it is on the US, please let us know or if I find out, I'll let you all know. Thanks Tudor fans!!!! Have a good week…
Have never watched so a load of drivel, not to say historically inaccurate trash in my entire life… if you haven't watched it, DON'T BOTHER !!!! This program should never have even been given airtime!
Saw "Secrets of the Virgin Queen" here in the U.S. on Nat Geo a while ago, way back in June. It was kind of peculiar. I am never one for historic slander and the program did seem to be a bit of, to quote Dee, "Inaccurate trash." For one thing, the idea that Elizabeth I was a man, was really quite a ludicrous thing to propose and for another, there were just so many ridiculous suppositions made about her, like the "bastard" child she supposedly had with Robert Dudley. The special didn't so much investigate her as it did investigate the rumors of the queen and the supporters of those rumors, you know, the "evidence" those people claimed supported their theories. The "Elizabeth I was really a man" theory was the weakest, using paintings and her interests in hunting and lack of marriage as evidence, which as we know were interests of many noblewomen as well as men in the Tudor court. As an artist, I found the painting stuff hilarious because any artist will tell you that we all have certain ways of depicting people and every artist has a certain way they depict the reality they see ("style"). I found it far less likely that Elizabeth's supposed "manly" appearance in some of those portraits was evidence of her being a male than it was of an artist using a certain style or abiding by the queen's orders to try and uphold the persona of a strong virgin queen. Did I get anything out of this special? Well, it prepared me for my Theory and Practice course that I took this fall term because it enabled me to scrutinize historical pieces and shoot holes through theories by careful analysis. I leave it to you all to watch it and see whether or not it is to your liking.
The National Geographic show that I saw about Elizabeth was total garbage. Just a bunch of rumors and no facts to back them up with. I agree with Dee that it is not work losing about an hour of your life to watch and may cause high blood pressure as you get more and more annoyed at the show.

Residency Events
The Adult Neurology Boot Camp
The Adult Neurology Boot Camp is designed to introduce important principles of neurological care to newly minted PGY2 neurology residents and to help them transition into junior neurology resident status.
The boot camp lasts two summer months (July and August) and is completed with lectures, interactive clinical case sessions and hands-on labs. Each week is dedicated to a different aspect of neurological care: general neurology, stroke care, neurological intensive care and the challenges of initial night shifts in a hospital. The boot camp covers such topics as neurological exams in adult and pediatric populations, neurological emergencies, MOCK acute stroke exercises, LP simulator lab experience, common neurological consults and neuroimaging.
The camp culminates with a Jeopardy day and a pizza party to celebrate the hard work and the steep learning curve of our junior residents.

Radial nerve palsy due to supracondylar open fracture in a child
- Correspondence to Dr Naoki Yoshida, n_yoshida{at}shonankamakura.or.jp
- Accepted 2 October 2017
- Published 10 October 2017
A 9-year-old boy presented to the emergency department with severe left elbow pain after a fall from a skateboard. On physical examination, an open injury in his left elbow that exposed the humeral lateral epicondyle was observed (Gustilo grade; figure 1A). The radial pulse was well palpated, but the neurological diagnosis was impossible because of severe pain.
A radiograph revealed a supracondylar humeral fracture in which the distal fragment was remarkably displaced (Figure 1B, C). After adequate preanaesthetic clearance, the patient was planned for surgery. On further exploration, the radial nerve was tenting strongly by the displaced bone fragment (figure 1D). Hence, the radial nerve was carefully released, and its continuity was maintained. In addition, the supracondylar humeral fracture was stabilised with Kirschner wires. On postoperative day 1, because a left wrist drop associated with hypoesthesia was observed, we diagnosed radial nerve palsy (figure 2A, B). The radial nerve was found almost intact after releasing; therefore, we decided to carefully follow-up for palsy. Five months later, palsy had completely recovered.
Reportedly, supracondylar humeral fractures are one of the most common fractures around the elbow joint in the paediatric age group. Paediatric supracondylar humeral fractures are rarely associated with a radial nerve injury.1 Generally, radial nerve palsy results from traction injury, contusion, tenting and entrapment at the fracture site.2
The management of radial nerve palsy is controversial, as some will advocate a conservative approach because majority will resolve spontaneously.1 Others will advocate open reduction and exploration to prevent entrapment and iatrogenic laceration.3 Especially, in the 'pink, pulseless hand', a concurrent nerve palsy prompts early exploration as it is strongly predictive of nerve and vessel entrapment. Our patient needed open reduction to prevent entrapment and iatrogenic laceration because the radial nerve was tenting strongly by the remarkably displaced bone fragment. When managed appropriately, nerve recovery and clinical outcomes for this paediatric population are extremely favourable.2
It is important to examine and treat paediatric supracondylar fracture with a radial nerve injury in mind.
Learning points
Paediatric supracondylar humeral fractures are common and rarely associated with a radial nerve injury.

A Protestant Looks at Catholic Schools
December 1993By Jeffrey Christensen
Jeffrey Christensen is an independent film producer in New York City, and a member of the Norfield Congregational Church in Weston, Connecticut He is writing a book tentatively titled The Hillaryization of American Education.
Since Catholic schools account for almost half of all private schools in America, anyone who wants to understand the success of private education must examine Catholic schools. According to the federal government's National Assessment of Educational Progress test, Catholic school students recently beat public school students by 4.5 percent in mathematics, 4.8 percent in science, and 12.5 percent in reading. Public school students are four times more likely to drop out than their Catholic school counterparts, who are 60 percent more likely to go on to college. And, amazingly, the per pupil cost of a public education is generally two to three times greater than that of a Catholic education.
Even as a Protestant who is constitutionally skeptical of any institution that offers Absolution, I must applaud such achievements. Catholic schools are attractive to parents of all Christian persuasions because they teach traditional subjects and Christian values; meanwhile, the public schools purvey their "value-neutral" desiderata. And for low income families, Catholic schools are affordable. The average elementary school tuition in the Archdiocese of New York is $1,700, with scholarships available for the needy.
In virtually every American city, public schools "accommodate diversity" by searching for the lowest common denominator among all constituent beliefs and then mandating them. The result is political correctness: Thus, in the public schools equality trumps merit, open-mindedness trumps conviction, indifference trumps tolerance, harmony trumps honesty, incentives trump morals, awareness trumps innocence, prurience trumps self-denial, freedom trumps responsibility, rights trump reverence, science trumps religion, state trumps church, and so on. The bottom line is that all is relative.
Parochial schools, in contrast, are founded on the principle that wisdom resides in the ages, not in fashionable interest groups. Catholic schools exist for the expressed purpose of instilling a basic set of values, derived from religious tenets, as moral absolutes that will guide their students through the vagaries of life. Parochial schools do not shrink from concepts like "right," "wrong," "good," "evil," or "the sin of pride." But they also emphasize that while morals are absolute in abstract terms, one's capacity to judge is not. Thus, they caution that even as one pursues what one believes is good, one's righteousness maybe corrupted by pride and ambition.

Jeanne Gask, author of the heartwarming memoir Nell and the Girls, paid a visit to Calais by invitation from the Calais Tourism Office. Jeanne travelled by Eurostar with her daughter and journalist, Marina Gask.
Whilst visiting Calais Jeanne attended a book signing at a local book shop called Librarie du Port – where the book is now in stock – and also attended a press conference. Jeanne was overwhelmed by the welcome and interest shown by the locals and the French press. It soon became apparent that Jeanne's recounting of her experience of WWII in occupied France was not particularly well known in Calais.
The French press were very interested in hearing Jeanne's experiences about the rounding up in 1940 of British nationals who were then taken to the Polish border, an account that was unfamiliar to them.
Jeanne's father, Tom Sarginson was interred along with P G Wodehouse and you can read more about Tom in this wonderful account of his life: http://www.
