DC Bolsters Sales with Ring Promotion
"Blackest Night" was exactly what the doctor ordered – that is, if you're Doctor Fate, Mid-Nite or Thirteen. Not so much if you're Doctor Strange.
In October, for the first time in more than a decade, DC Comics locked up the top six spots for monthly sales, according to figures released by Diamond Comic Distributors. And five of the six titles were "Blackest Night"-related, including the highest ranking title of the month, "Blackest Night" #4.
While "Captain America: Reborn" #4 will no doubt find its way into the Top 3 for November (the top-selling Marvel miniseries didn't ship an issue in October), there are no signs DC's lantern-fueled sales juggernaut will slow in the months ahead. Especially when DC is flooding the market with a sea of multi-colored rings in this month, each one being released with a "Blackest Night" tie-in book and representing one of the corps at war in the series.
Last week, retailers were shipped Yellow Lantern (Sinestro Corps) rings to sell with issues of "Doom Patrol" #4, and the pre-release buzz stirred by the promotion delivered for that title.
Gahl Buslov, who is one of the co-owners of Midtown Comics in New York, told CBR News that sales of "Doom Patrol" #4 exceeded expectations, even though the buyers for the shop had ordered heavily.
"We are either sold out or are about to, with reorders already placed but on backorder," said Buslov. "We'll most likely have to wait for the second print, assuming there will be one."
Buslov explained that for titles like "Doom Patrol" which sell in the lower tier, Midtown ordered anywhere between 200 to 300 per cent of their standard order.
"It was a reverse relationship. The lower the book sold, the bigger the bump it got," said Buslov.
At Midtown, customers get the ring free with purchase of the associated book for the first week of release only. Customers can also purchase each ring for $1.99 or wait for a complete set of eight for $12.99.
This week, copies of "Booster Gold" #26 ship with an Orange Lantern ring while "R.E.B.E.L.S" #10 is tied to an Indigo one.
"Whether by coincidence or design, and I suspect the latter, the rings we felt we wanted more of were associated with the books we were ordering more of. These were the Red, Orange, Blue, and Green rings," said Buslov, who believes the boost the ring promotion gives tie-in titles like "Booster Gold" and "R.E.B.E.L.S." will hold in terms of sales at least in the short term.
"We expect the titles to continue to ride the wave for at least the duration of the tie-in," he explained. "While there will be a drop off from the ring-tied issues, the number should still remain well above the standard quantities for those titles, again, at least for the duration of the tie-in."
Buslov said there is no doubt that this kind of promotion helps to bump up readership of certain titles.
"Even if, and this is just a random number, only 10 per cent of the 'extra' readers stick around beyond the tie-ins, it's still potentially a 10 per cent increase for the duration of the series. Multiply that across the board for the titles affected, and that might be no small number. And that may further translate into the new readers buying the back-issues and/or trades to catch up. And while I admit that's a pretty optimistic view, I've seen it happen. Creatively strong titles will always retain some new readers once they've been exposed to it."
Ryan Liebowitz, owner of Golden Apple in Los Angeles, told CBR News that if his patrons wanted to collect the rings, buying the tie-in issues was a must. And that, at least in part, led to a sellout of "Doom Patrol" #4 last week.
"One of the things that led to us selling out of it was that people did add it to their pull list as a tie-in," explained Liebowitz, who acknowledged Golden Apple ordered double its usual amount of "Doom Patrol" as a preemptive measure.
"On our pull lists, it's a monthly, and we wrote 'Yellow Ring' right next to it. So, are they buying for storyline or the ring? It's only been one week, but I suspect it's a little bit of both.
"But we told everyone when they filled out their sheets, if you want those rings, you have to buy 'Doom Patrol.' That did account for a majority of the reason that we sold out of it so quickly."
Liebowitz said all retailers will develop their own policies on how to distribute the multi-colored rings to patrons, but since the ring allocation per book was four times the actual book count, he'll have more to deal with once the promotion officially closes at the end of the month.
"We received a lot more rings than we did comic books because DC listened to us retailers. When they originally solicited these rings as a promotion, I think it was by 25 copies of 'Doom Patrol' #4 and you can buy one bag of 50 promotional rings. You'd have twice as many rings as comics. Which is not a big deal but we're all also buying hundreds of the core titles – 'Blackest Night,' 'Green Lantern' and 'Green Lantern Corps.' Whereas 'R.E.B.E.L.S.,' 'Doom Patrol,' and others, we order considerably less. There are probably a lot of shops that didn't even buy 25 copies, normally, of 'Doom Patrol.'
"So what they ended doing was for saying, 'For every 25 copies, you get TWO bags of 50 rings. So what happens is when you spread out the whole promotion and you look at these rings as a set – because most people are going to want sets, although a lot of people will probably just want the green ring – you have to try and figure out how many sets we're going to have in excess of the books.
"If we have essentially 50 copies of 'Doom Patrol,' we have 200 rings. So we have 150 extra rings but we won't have 150 extra rings on some of the other books, so it wouldn't make for sets. So what we did at Golden Apple, we just tied it to the books. We have not sold or given away any yellow rings. What we're going to do is wait until the whole promotion is over, which is only three weeks away, and once the final ring comes out, we will be raffling some sets, maybe selling some sets, and maybe selling some individual rings or maybe giving them away as an incentive for them to buy something else."
Liebowitz hopes he'll be proven wrong but he believes that despite the sales boost the ring promotion gives titles, it's very unlikely readers will stick it out long-term with the supporting titles once the "Blackest Night" tie-in is complete.
"One can only hope, but generally speaking, because we've been doing this for 30 years here at Golden Apple, they'll pick up the tie-in books but once there is no more 'Blackest Night' tie-in, they'll probably end up dropping it and we'll have to go back to our normal ordering numbers of 'Doom Patrol' and 'R.E.B.E.L.S.' and such, but I'm hoping not. There could be a surprise."
Regardless, "Blackest Night" and its related titles are selling extremely well right now, and whether or not the rings are driving sales, in the end, the book's the thing.
"Right now, we're just trying to sell these books. As far as I'm concerned, we're successful in the first week because we sold out of 'Doom Patrol' and we have some more back in, and we're running low again," said Liebowitz. "The ring promotion worked on the first book. And this week two more comics come out and then we'll take it from there."

1. What are characteristics of epithelial tissue? (5) - lines, separated, blood vessels?, structure (3), connected to each other how?
2. Functions? (3)
3. What is the difference between connective tissue and epithelium?
4. How are epithelium connected? (3)
1. (1) Ep tissue lines body surfaces and is (2) separated from underlying tissue (cells, EC matrix) by basement membrane (3) no blood vessels (4) ep can be simple/stratified, layered or not, have squamous, cuboidal or columnar cells - i.e., thick keratin layer - palms and soles OR extracellular matrix - connective tissue (5) cells are connected by sealing, adhering or communicating cell junctions
2. (1) Cover, line, and protect surfaces (i.e., skin) (2) absorb - intestines (3) secrete - glands
3. Connective tissue is an EC matrix with vessels, while epithelial tissue has no vessels
Tight junction
(creates polarization to let cells know where apical/basal side is),
(for communicating), and
(zonula adherins) - zonula adherins/spot adherent (desmosomes)
1. What does it mean for a cell to be polarized?
2. What kind of polarity do ep cells have? What faces outside and what faces inside?
3. What does polarization allow for? (3)
1. It means they have spatial differences in shape, structure and therefore function, enabling them to carry out specialized functions.
2. Apical-basal polarity. Apical faces outside surface of body or towards lumen of external cavities, while basolateral membrane faces away from lumen towards underlying cells/connective tissue
3. Allows cells to have (1) secretion compartments (2) absorption compartments (3) allows cells to interact with EC matrix at special points of contact
1. What is a neoplasia?
2. What's the diff bt benign and malignant neoplasia?
3. How do you name neoplasias?
1. Neoplasia = new growth, productive of genetic change that allows excessive, unregulated cell prolif, indep of growth stimuli.
2. Benign - remains localized, cannot spread, most patients survive, but tumor locations can cause serious problems. surgical excision is possible. Arises from single mutation with a growth advantage.
- well circumscribed, encapsulated.
- small uniform cells, no visible nucleoli. Grows slowly, some dependence on hormones, well-differentiated, resembles cell of origin with few mitoses, secretion of products, hormones, mucin (basically behaves)
Malignant neoplasia = cancer
- Can invade, destroy adjacent tissue and metastasize to cause death. Histologically - poorly circumscribed, lack of cell polarity and epithelial cell connections.
Cytologically - l arge, pleomorphic cells with huge nuclei and nucleoli. Nuclear:cytoplasmic ratio is 1:1 (usually its 1:4), local invasion - not encapsulated and can invade, rapid growth, poorly differentiated/bizarre mitoses.
3. If benign
: Name of tissue + OMA
+ SARCOMA (malignant) <--not epithelial
+ CARCINOMA (malignant) <---epithelial squamous/adeno
Melanoma (actually malignant)
1. What is cellular differentation?
2. What does it change?(5)
3. Does it usually change DNA?
4. What can level of cellular diff be used for?
5. How is this different from staging?
1. Process by which a less specialized cell becomes a more specialized cell type. Occurs numerous times
2. Size, shape, membrane potential, metabolic activity, & responsiveness to signals
4. to grade a cancer progression and it measures cell anaplasia (reversion of differentiation) and is based on resemblance of the tumor to the tissue of origin. ITS DIFFERENT FROM STAGING
5. Staging measures extent to which cancer has spread
1. Define anaplasia (3)
2. Define dysplasia.
3. What is dysplasia caused by? (1, 3 examples)
4. Features of anaplasia? (8)
1. Anaplaysia - cells divide rapidly but don't resemble their tissue of origin in structure/function, there is a loss of structural differentiation (dedifferentiation) mostly seen in malignant cells
2. Dysplasia - disordered cell maturation (cells don't mature, base to surface, etc
3. Caused by disruption, mutation, inhibition of normal cell molecules that regulate cell cycle and cell division --> HPV, GERD, smoking. HPV viral proteins inhibit tumor suppresor proteins --> neoplasia
4. Loss of polarity, specialized function, pleomorphism, hyperchromatism (darker), enlarged/multiple nucleoli, abnormal mitoses, tumor giant cells, altered nuclear:cytoplasmic ratio
1. What is the earlist form of pre cancer that can be recognized?
2. How does a dysplasic cell respond to mutation?
3. How can you tell if you have dysplasia?
1. Dysplasia
2. Produces proteins that inhibit tumor suppressors and allows immature cells to proliferate
3. As you go from base to surface, cells should still be large (cells aren't dying)
1. What are the steps of a successful metastasis? (4)
Detachment of tumor cells
(E cadherin loss) (2)
degradation of extracellular matrix
(MMPs overexpressed and TIMPs reduced) (3)
Attachment to new ECM protein
s (cleaved collagen and laminin bind to receptors on tumor cells - stimulating migration (4)
Migration of tumor cells
(cytokines from tumor cells direct movement for motility) (5)
Metastatic deposit (6) Angiogenesis (7) Growth
1. What is the connection between post menopausal breast cancer and obesity/body composition?
2. What is the presumed mech?
3. What might be a central mechanism relating to nutritional lifestyle factors to endometrial cancer risk?
4. Why might there be an ovarian androgen excess?
1. Obesity/high body fat% increases risk for post-menopausal breast cancer
2. Main source of estrogen in post-meno women is from peripheral adipose tissue. Increased adipose tissue --> increased estrogen& increased insulin/IGF/leptin/circulating inflammatory cytokines --> unopposed estrogen hypothesis.
Endometrical cancer may develop as a result of the mitogenic effect of estrogens and inflammatory molecules, when estrogen is insufficiently counterbalanced by progesterone.
Development of ovarian hyperandroidism
--> which increases risk of endometrial cancer by inducing chronic anovulation and progesterone deficiency. After menopause, when progesterone stops, excess weight may continue increasing risk through elevated plasma levels of androgen precursors --> increasing estrogen levels.
4. Because of an interaction between obesity-related, chronic hyperinsulinemia with genetic factors predisposing to the development of ovarian hyperandrogenism bc of increased activation of growth effects in mitogenic pathway
1. What waist circumference is the cutoff rec by the AMerican institute of cancer/ADA/WHO/etc vs. NIH/NHLBI?
2. What does this rec corrrelate with? Who might this miss then?
3. What types of cancers are lowered with PA? (6)
4. What does a weight loss of >10% vs. 5% do for estrogen, testosterone, insulin, and CRP?
5. How do weight stable individuals benefit the most?
1. =<37 inches in men and =<31.5 inches in women vs. =<40 inches and =< 35 in in women
2. BMI of 30, which may miss the individuals who are metabolically obese but normal weight.
3. Colon cancer (convincing) and probably post-menopausal breast/endometrial cancer, and limited suggestive reductions in lung, pancreas, and pre-menopausal breast cancer
4. Leads to decreases in all.
5. Vs. weight gainers and losers, they had the loweset mortality for CVD (not breast cancer)
1. What are the benefits of PA that are direct/unseen? (5)
2. What benefits does PA have for cancer survivors? (5)
3. What are unique concerns for cancer survivors? (5)
4. What are recs for physical activity?

Pool Safety
This summer, many of us will try to cool ourselves at swimming pools, rivers, lakes and beaches. While there is the potential for fun at these places, water also provides danger.
Drowning is the nation's No. 1 killer of children under the age of five and is the second leading cause of death from unintentional injuries for ages 1 to 14. The majority of these accidents occur in residential swimming pools.
The Salt Lake City Fire Department reminds you that if you find someone in trouble in a swimming pool or other body of water, you should: 1) yell for help and get the person out of the water, 2) Call 911 and follow instructions and 3) Begin CPR if you are trained.
The following ABCs of Pool Safety are a helpful reminder on staying safe near water:
- A = Adult Supervision
- Maintain constant eye-to-eye supervision with children in and around the water
- Assign an adult to supervise children around the pool, especially at parties
- Floaties or other inflatable flotation devices are not life jackets and should never be substituted for adult supervision
- B = Barriers
- Have an isolation fence that separates your pool from the house and yard
- Move chairs and tables away from pool fences, so a child cannot unlatch or climb over the fence
- C = Classes
- Learn and know CPR
- Enroll your child in swim lessons
- Make sure all gates are self-closing and self-latching
- Keep all doors and windows leading to the pool area locked or install alarm devices
- Eliminate spaces where a child could get into the pool, such as squeezing through a hole in the fence
- Maintain a clear view (no trees, bushes or other obstacles) from the house to the pool

- The Veggies aren't tasting the same?
Sometimes we end up over boiling/cooking vegetables. The simple fix to overcome the problem is to quickly plunge the vegetables in cold water. This will immediately stop the cooking process and prevent the veggies from losing any more of their texture.
- When it tastes spicy!
Sometimes you need to learn the hard way of using the spices in kitchen. They are the most tricky of all to use. Even a pinch of extra red chillies or black pepper can send your dish (and your taste buds) into a blazing inferno. So incase you are preparing any gravy dish then you can certainly add some sour dairy product like- sour cream or yoghurt to balance thh flavour or you can add sugar, jaggery, coconut powder or dry besan if you are making some dry veggie.
- Does Sticky Rice embarrasses your cooking?
Sometimes the simplest thing to be cooked in your meals, takes maximum of your time. Rice when overcooked becomes sticky and thus becomes problematic while serving in plates. Nonetheless, once rinsed under cold water you can easily overcome the problem since it helps in separating the grains.
- When you want that perfect cake
We all know, preparing a cake take a lot of ones sweat and energy. So if you want that beauty come out clean then here is an advice. Make sure to wait for the cake to cool initially before attempting to remove it and if it still doesn't then try setting the bottom of the pan in hot water to loosen up the fats and help the cake slide right out. Another creative solution to fix up the cake is filling the gaps with nuts, chocoloate sauce, berries etc which makes it look more tempting.
- Is it too sugary?
They say excess of everything is bad, so is the case with sugar. Too much sugar when added becomes unhealthy. When preparing batter for the cake you can balance the sweetness by adding some acidic dairy like- sour cream or yoghurt.

Sleepy babies are always the goal when we are doing newborn photos, and Logan did not disappoint. He was wonderful and sleepy throughout the entire session. I attribute this to him being a fourth child in a household filled with older siblings!
When photographing baby boys, many parents request blues and grays, which works beautifully for me because these are some of my favorites as well. I also love incorporating neutral pieces into the sets like this adorable slouchy hat from Just Hatched Designs.
We kept the blue-theme going throughout the session, so all of Logan's photos would tie together.
His parents had one special request to incorporate some super hero's into a photo to match his nursery at home. I was so excited to see these Itty Bittys from Hallmark, and knew just what I wanted to do with them. This is my favorite shot from the session.
More cuteness...
Finally finished up with some photos with Mom and Dad. Love the joy on their faces in every shot.
Thank you for sharing Logan with me and congratulations on such an adorable little guy!

oa South African Journal of Clinical Nutrition - Household market participation and stunting in preschool children in Lilongwe, Malawi : scientific letter
Background : Stunting among Malawian preschool children continues to be a concern.
Method : A cross-sectional survey of 251 semi-urban households, who participated in a community-supported preschool programme, was conducted.
Results : Of the 433 participating two- to five-year-old children, 34.4% had stunting. Children from families who grow tobacco were less likely than other children to have stunting (27.0% vs. 37.3%, p-value = 0.04). In contrast, children from families who grow a local type of cowpea (khobwe) had a higher rate of stunting than other children (46.8% vs. 32.9%, p-value = 0.01).
Conclusion : The study suggests that the increased income associated with household participation in the growing of globally marketable cash crops, as compared to the growing of local crops, may lead to increased nutritional benefits for children.

text: Early in my engineering career I worked as a researcher at Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) where I gained insight in electric power generation and distribution. TVA had nuclear, coal, natural gas fired and hydroelectric power generating units, all of which I became familiar with. The use of electronic devices and the potential for electric vehicles promise significant growth in the demand for electric energy. We must be proactive in aggressively positioning Wyoming producers to provide the majority of these power needs, and the producers must offer the most competitive rates. We have to continue to promote and protect our fossil fuel and mineral industries. To that end, the University of Wyoming must be involved in research for other uses of coal and the other fossil fuels. The ongoing carbon fiber research is just the beginning.

Airlines' Experiments Raise Hackles
Readers Protest Poor Service on Planes; Is Buy-on-Board Food Worth the Price?
Last week's column on airline experimentation following three years of hefty cost-cutting struck a chord with many frequent travelers frustrated by a lack of service in the industry.
Like any industry, new businesses fill voids. No dry cleaners in a neighborhood? There's an opportunity. The same holds in the airline industry. Incumbents who charge monopolistic prices only invite new competition. But what's fascinating right now about the airline business -- and we probably should not be the least bit surprised by this -- is...

The Life and Times of Jann Wenner and Rolling Stone MagazineBook - 2017
Hagan tells how Wenner partnered with rock luminaries to manufacture an unforgettable cultural mythology in words and images every other week for five decades. Rolling Stone magazine began as a scrappy rebellion, reinvented youth culture, and marketed the libertine world of late-sixties San Francisco in a stylish, glossy package that became a locus of influence, access, and headline-making news. Wenner was a wide-eyed rock-and-roll fan of ambiguous sexuality but unambiguous ambition whose bottomless appetite for music, drugs, sexual liberation, and political provocation epitomized a generation.
From the critics
Community Activity
CommentAdd a Comment
It's only rock and roll, but he liked it. From a young age, Jann Wenner knew exactly what he wanted: to be seen with the right people and surround himself with the ostentatious trappings of wealth. Mostly, he wanted to become a mogul along the lines of William Randolph Hearst. Insatiably driven to succeed, Wenner plotted and schmoozed his way from chubby enthusiastic fanboy to suave society icon, eventually running the most influential rock and pop culture magazine of its day, "Rolling Stone." This is the fascinating story of how he did just that: cultivating and alienating upcoming talents along the likes of Hunter S. Thompson, Annie Leibovitz, and Cameron Crowe, simultaneously sucking up to and tearing down every rock and roll giant from the 60s onward, sleeping with whomever caught his fancy or whom he felt could achieve his ends, building ever bigger mansions and creating his own grand personal empire in reality and in his head. Wenner's personal story is an intriguing one, serving also as a condensed pop culture history lesson contained within the pages of his magazine. The idealism and rebellion of 60s youth culture turning to early 70s revolution and disillusionment, only to be dismantled in the dizzying drug world of the disco years and unapologetic 80s materialism. Wenner was there for it all, manipulating everything to suit his own personal desires, continuing to build his empire as he hobnobbed with the likes of Jagger and Springsteen, blindly refusing to accept the changes coming to music with the ascent of MTV and other cultural changes. A complex man, an utterly engrossing story.

Farm & Forest Land Deferrals
Farm Deferral
Many rural properties are eligible for a special assessment or deferral of some or all of their property if it is "used for a qualifying farm use." This special assessment of the land reflects the value for agricultural productivity and not other alternative uses that may justify a higher assessment. These programs have a potential tax payback if the farm production requirements discontinue to be met.
You may download an Information Circular for: Assessment of Farmland in an Exclusive Farm-Use Zone and Assessment of Farmland Not in an Exclusive Farm-Use Zone
If you have questions or wish to file an application, you can contact our office at (503) 846-8826 and ask for assistance with Farm Deferral (please have your account number or property address for us to reference).
Forestland Deferrals
Many rural properties are eligible for a special assessment or deferral if the property is "used for the predominant purpose of growing and harvesting trees of a marketable species". The purpose of this program is to provide a financial incentive to property owners, in the form of reduced property values, for keeping their land in timber production. The assessed value is based on the productivity of the land for growing marketable trees. This program has a potential tax payback if the requirements discontinue to be met.
You may download information about Specially Assessed Forestland at http://www.oregon.gov/DOR/forms/FormsPubs/special-assessment-programs-forestland_441-649.pdf

Forestland/Farm Deferrals - Calculation of Deferred Taxes
If you would like to know what the estimated deferred taxes would be if land currently under farm or forest deferral were to be disqualified, please submit the form below along with a check for the $60 fee.
Washington County's supervisory authority, The Department of Revenue, has implemented Oregon Administrative Rule (150-308-1500) which will change the process by which deferred tax calculations are generated. The outcome of this change will be in effect for most disqualifications occurring after 6/30/18 and will be effective for the tax year 2019/20. This change may impact the actual amount of deferred taxes you are receiving with any request prior to 6/30/18.

If you're a medical marijuana patient, you may be looking into growing your own medicine. That's not a terrible idea, and as a matter of fact, there's a certain amount of weed that you can grow for personal use. This doesn't mean you go out and fill an entire warehouse with marijuana plants, but it does mean you're entitled to your own little bit; that's something we're going to talk about today. Growing your own medical marijuana can bring a sense of independence, especially when it must do with your medication.
Not only is growing marijuana legal, but it isn't that difficult to do. If you can follow simple instructions and are capable of keeping a plant alive, you should be good to go. There are many different ways to go about growing your own marijuana, and some areas might require you to do so indoors – if the climate doesn't offer up a optimal setting, of course. If you're a patient in Canada, they already have rules and regulations put in place.
Is It Hard to Grow?
There are indoor growing operations known as "Hydroponics", which allow you to grow weed indoors. This is used by many medical marijuana patients, as not every single region in the world is going to offer up a reasonable climate for growth. There are tons of guides available on the internet to introduce you into the world of medical marijuana growth, and it could result in you saving a bunch of money as well.
When you can grow your own medicine, there's no need to be buying it anymore; you're the doctor now! If you aren't the best person to be trying to grow medical marijuana, you can try and find a grower to pass your powers on to. The plant limit that you're being given can be transferred to them in your name, and they can handle the growing process for you. This applies to the limits as well, which we're going to talk about next!
Canadian Limits
If you're a medical marijuana patient in Canada, you're allowed to grow up to five plants per gram indoors (and two plants per gram outdoors). Through this limit, you're still able to grow a decent amount of medicine; it should be more than enough to keep you going on a plant-to-plant basis. One plant can harvest well over an ounce of medical marijuana (which is 28 grams), if grown properly, it can have even more than that. Growing marijuana is tricky for some, but not impossible to master.
The plant number is determined by your prescription, so more serious ailments will probably call for a higher number of plants allowed. Not only that, but if you can't grow the marijuana yourself, you're able to give permission to another person to do so for you. If you're in good with a medical marijuana grower already, you can give them your jurisdiction to use your plant count. At that point, it's more than likely a beneficial relationship for both you and the grower!

On March 15, 2017, while speaking at the Annual International Futures Industry Conference, J. Christopher Giancarlo, the acting chairman of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), and President Donald Trump's nominee to be permanent chairman of that agency, announced a new agenda for the CFTC called "Project KISS," which stands for "Keep It Simple, Stupid." 1
Project KISS is an effort to align the CFTC's regulatory mission with President Trump's February 24, 2017, executive order calling on federal agencies to conduct regulatory reviews and stimulate economic revival.2 The CFTC, as an independent agency, is not required to follow the President's February 24, 2017, executive order. Nevertheless, Giancarlo began Project KISS because he believes the CFTC will benefit from complying with it.
Giancarlo has started Project KISS by naming Mike Gill, Giancarlo's Chief of Staff, as the CFTC's Regulatory Reform Officer who will be responsible for conducting an "agency-wide review of CFTC rules, regulations, and practices to make them simpler, less burdensome, and less costly." In addition, the CFTC will also ask for the public's recommendations on the best methods to make CFTC regulations simpler, less burdensome and less costly.
Giancarlo clarified that Project KISS is not an effort to repeal or rewrite existing CFTC regulations, but instead is an effort to find new ways to apply existing CFTC regulations as they are currently written. Nevertheless, the launch of Project KISS reflects Giancarlo's desire to strike a balance between the need for state-regulated markets and flexibility enabling market participants to conduct business.
Given the significant amount of regulations that resulted from Title VII of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, Project KISS affords market participants an opportunity to work with the CFTC to refine those regulatory requirements that have proven unworkable or unduly burdensome.

There are several common ways in which medical malpractice occurs including medical staff failing to adequately warn a patient about the risks of surgery, incorrectly prescribing medication, and causing health complications while performing an operation.
CHI St. Luke's Patient Medical Hospital's Treatment of Respiratory Illnesses
There are a variety of companies in Pasadena with most companies focus in the aerospace, gas, maritime, and petroleum industries. Some of the largest corporations in Pasadena include SGS Petroleum Service Corporation, Shell, and the Boeing Company. Workers in these industries are exposed to a number of threats including hazardous substances. These substances have the potential to cause respiratory illnesses. One respiratory illness is lung cancer, which is very difficult to treat and often fatal. Another common type of respiratory illness is mesothelioma, which is caused by direct exposure to asbestos.

Tonight's WWE 205 Live episode saw Austin Aries address the WWE Universe for the first time since losing to WWE Cruiserweight Champion Neville at the Extreme Rules pay-per-view, which was his third straight loss to The King of the Cruiserweights.
It should be noted that Aries did work WWE live events against Neville this past week.
Aries appeared on Busted Open Radio this past week and made these comments on his status:
"I've got some stuff going on, but just to be fair you could probably say that for a lot of the locker room. It's kind of part of what we do, I don't think anyone is ever 100%. So I got a couple things going on and obviously at this point it might be a good time to take a little break which really could consist of two days to just adjust some of those things, try and get my mind and my body right and then come back and figure out what's gonna be next and what the direction's gonna be."
After the 205 Live announcement on his status tonight, Aries was then confronted by Tony Nese, which led to Jack Gallagher making the save for Aries. Below is video from that segment:

Does your Voice and Data cabling look like Big Bird from Sesame Street built a large nest within your ceilings and communications closet?
Does your Voice and Data cabling look like Big Bird from Sesame Street built a large nest within your ceilings and communications closet? You're not alone. More than half of the voice and data installations in place today do not meet the industry's minimum requirements set forth by EIA and TIA. What's this mean to you…it means that there is a good possibility that your staff is operating on a network that is only capable of one quarter of the capacity that it could have had if the installation was done professionally by industry trained technicians and that your IT staff spends two or three times as much time trouble shooting connection/bandwidth issues. The bottom line is that this type of installation will affect your productivity/profitability for as long as you utilize it…and that could be for many years.

INVESTORS LUCKY enough to know where they're headed still have to go through the process of getting there, and the journey can be daunting if you're loaded down with a messy collection of accounts from former employers and brokers.
You can't succeed at a new relationship until you clean out the emotional baggage from the last, and so it goes with your money.
There are tax considerations, back-end sales loads, paperwork and market timing issues - and, of course, the emotions attached to your previous investments.

Tammy LaBiche-Henley thinks this is interesting:
When it comes to focusing the audience's attention, red is used as the single attention-grabbing color (primary red tends to be too loud for me, so I often opt instead for a burnt-red shade as I did here). Everything else is grey. Numeric data labels were used—an additional visual cue signaling importance given the stark contrast of white on red and large text—on the points we want the audience to focus: the increasing percentage of projects missing goals. The rest of the data is preserved for context, but pushed to the background so it doesn't compete for attention. Slightly different shades of grey were used so you can still focus on one or the other series of data at a time, but it doesn't distrac...

I'm British and am therefore obsessed with the weather. Splashing to the bus stop in sandals, cooking in my own coat and wellies at the park, being temporarily blinded by wind-whipped hair; however I am dressed, I am dressed inappropriately. And my fridge is stocked inappropriately, too.
After a warm but grey day, the sky gave into the inevitable and emptied buckets of water down my kitchen windows. The salad leaves and olive oil and feta suddenly seemed like mockery. Is that any kind of meal to serve when you're thinking about filling up your hot water bottle?
So they've been ditched, the chicken thighs in my freezer have been defrosted and a chicken curry conjured up to brighten my wet August evening. This is an English chicken curry. The sort of sweet, saucy curry that anyone who knows anything about regional Indian cuisine would decry as an abomination. People have reached for their pitchforks and flaming brands and stormed the castle for less.
It is, however, excellent, greedy comfort food. It's rich and silky and you'll groan with calories afterwards. As soon as I've pressed Publish on this, I am going to lie down on the sofa, cradle my curry-stuffed belly and sleep (with a hot water bottle by my side).
English chicken curry
Serves 2 generously
1 tsp coriander seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tbsp medium curry powder
1 tsp turmeric
700g chicken thighs, skinned, deboned and chopped into 3 chunks each (or use about 500g pre-prepared skinned, boneless chicken thighs)
2 tbsp plain flour
40g butter
1 onion, finely chopped
1 stick celery, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 long red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
25g fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 sharp green eating apple, peeled, cored and chopped
400ml can coconut milk
1 tbsp tomato purée
Cooked Basmati rice and chopped fresh coriander leaves, to serve
1 Toast the coriander and cumin seeds in a dry frying pan for 2–3 minutes until they are aromatic and popping. Tip into a pestle and mortar and grind into a powder. Stir in the curry powder and turmeric. Set aside. Dip the chicken thighs in the flour, shaking off any excess and set aside.
2 Melt the butter over a low heat and then add the onion. Fry gently for 10 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened. Add the spice mix and fry for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the celery, garlic, chilli and ginger and fry for a further 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, then add the chicken and fry for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the apple, coconut milk and tomato purée. Bring to a simmer, reduce the heat and simmer for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened and the chicken is tender.
3 Meanwhile, cook enough Basmati rice for two people. I normally go for a handful for each person and one for the pot, but 60g each will be more than enough.
4 Taste the curry and season with salt to taste. Divide the rice between two warmed plates and top with the curry. If you're taking a picture and want it to look nice, garnish with a little chopped fresh coriander. Serve immediately.

Chicago's first Starting Strength Gym
Have you been training at another gym and think you're ready to take your strength to the next level in a Starting Strength Gym that is more your style and can give you a more focused approach? Have you been training in your own garage or apartment gym for a while but hitting a plateau because of a lack of equipment and motivated training partners? Are you tired of trying in vain to get your serious workouts in at the big globo gym among the crowds and high-tech contraptions where no one seems to break a sweat? We know where you're coming from! We've been there. Chicago Strength & Conditioning welcomes a broad spectrum of people of all abilities, but we don't think that means we have to neglect our athletes that want an environment where they can push their limits, continuously working on new challenges. Our coaches are professional coaches with competitive backgrounds themselves and you can trust that we are serious about hardcore, comprehensive strength.

We wanted to give Kal'el an opportunity to try out a traditional sport.
He's tried a few other things, such as basketball and soccer and hasn't enjoyed it.
We thought we would give American Football a shot.
Leif got him on a team and volunteered to be a coach to spend time with Kal'el
It also helped save us $ on team fees.
In the end Kal'el gave it a good shot, but told us,
"Mom, Dad, I'm not really a sports guy. I just like to sword fight and be an archer."
We at least gave him the opportunity to try something new, but we will go ahead and respect his wishes and put our investment in swords and arrows.

A few years ago, I used Heroku to deploy my side-project. It provides great service, but I remember that updates to the Heroku Stack was a nightmare … Versions of the OS (and nearly everything) changed. The migration was a matter of days, and while doing a side-project, this was difficult. At the time, I remember thinking that using branches and VMs would have been the solution.
Now that I started to use Heroku again, I decided to use Docker from the beginning. More specifically, I am expecting :
- to have a minimal setup on my host machine
- to use the same infrastructure in dev than in production
- to simplify switching to a new machine
- to simplify the migration to the next Heroku stack
As an added benefit, if ever someone else joins me in my side-project, it will be a matter of minutes before we can all work on the same infrastructure !
Heroku provides a tutorial about how to deploy an existing Rails app to heroku using containers. Unfortunately, I did yet have an existing rails app … So the first challenge I faced, was how to create a Rails app without actually installing Rails on my machine. The trick is to bootstrap rails in docker itself before packaging all this for Heroku.
1. Install the required software
I installed only 4 things on my host machine
– Docker instructions
– Docker Compose instructions
– Heroku Toolbelt instructions
– Heroku container plugin
heroku plugins:install heroku-container-tools
That's all I changed to my host machine.
2. Setup docker
First, let's create a new dir and step into it. Run :
1 2
To prepare the Heroku setup, create a
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
To generate docker files for Heroku, run :
You want to run Rails in dev mode locally, so we need to override Heroku's default env (Check my previous post for details)
Create an
.env file
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
3. Create the Rails app
It's now time to follow the official docker-compose rails tutorial to bootstrap the rails app and directories :
Dockerfile to
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Create a bootstrap
Gemfile with the content
1 2
Bundle install within the container requires a existing
1 2
It's now time to build your docker container to be able to run rails and generate your source files. Run the following :
1 2 3 4 5
Unfortunately, rails is ran as root inside the container. We can change ownership and rights with this command :
1 2 3 4 5
4. Make it Heroku ready
Now that the rails files are generated, It's time to replace the bootstrap settings with real Heroku Dockerfile
Dockerfile to simply :
Heroku uses Puma so we need to add it to our
1 2
We also need to add a config file for Puma. Create
config/puma.rb with this content (you can check heroku doc for details)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15
It should now be possible to rebuild the container, and run the app :
1 2 3 4 5
The app should be accessible at http://0.0.0.0:8080
5. Deploying to heroku
We're almost ready to deploy to heroku.
First, we need to exclude development files from our image. For this, we need to create a
.dockerignore file with the content
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
It's then classic Heroku deploy commands :
1 2 3 4 5
Your app should be accessible on line at https://<your-app-name>.herokuapp.com/
Rails does not provide a default homepage in production. But you can check the logs with
6. Running commands
When in development mode, you might want to run rails or other commands on your source code again. The shell container exists just for that, run
docker-compose run shell ....
1 2
For the moment, there's a catch with bundle install or update commands, as the gems are installed outside the shared volume, only Gemfile.lock will be updated, which required to run docker-compose build again … I'll have a look into this later and see if I can fix that.

How do you let go of a man you've loved since the moment you looked into his eyes? How does he let go of you?
So many years, and many unspoken words. Conversations that should have come about; neither person spoke up out of fear of appearing foolish.
What do you do when the thought of this man makes your heart beat harder? The though of him warms your skin.
The resonance of his laugh makes you smile.
His feelings for you are deep, but not often expressed to you.
Where do you go when his beauty makes your heart swell, but he's oblivious?
What do you do with all of this love that has been growing inside of you, and may never be revealed to him?
In your mind you've created romantic settings and tender touches - but this energy remains inert.
You have moments when you second guess yourself - your beauty, desirability, and intrigue. Then you remember yourself and laugh at the ridiculous doubts. You are wonderful.
...and your love lingers.... you want just one kiss...one kiss to make your knees melt...one kiss to make you forget yourself.

As you might expect the expansion adds the Chaos Space Marines to Multiplayer, while the existing factions will all receive new units. There will also be some new maps for you to enjoy. Chaos Rising will be due out in Spring 2010 for Windows PC. Share On
