Pench National Park
Popularly called the land of Mowgli, the beauty of Pench national park has been inspiration behind the famous "Jungle Book" by Rudyard Kipling! This national park which nestles in the Southern slopes of the Satpura ranges of Central India has a plethora of flora and fauna and has recently been in the news for its recent tiger sightings.
History and Origin
Nestled in the lower southern region of the Satpuda hills, derives its name from the river Pench, which splits the National Park into two, forming the lifeline of the Park. A rich history defines the national park, in fact a description of its natural wealth and richness occurs in Ain-i-Akbari. It was established in the year 1977, when an area of 449.39 sq. km was declared Pench Sanctuary. Out of this, an area of 292.85 sq. km was declared Pench National Park in the year 1983 and 118.31 sq km remained as Pench Sanctuary.The name of Pench National Park was changed to "Indira Priyadarshini Pench National Park" in November 2002; similarly the name of Pench Sanctuary has been changed to "Mowgli Pench Sanctuary". Today, the park encompasses an area of about 750+ sq. kms, with a core area of 299 sq. km and 464 sq. km of buffer.
Pench Tiger Reserve comprises the Indira Priyadarshini Pench National Park, the Mowgli Pench Sanctuary and a buffer.The terrain of the park is undulating with mainly gentle slopes criss-crossed by streams and nullahs, most of which are seasonal in nature and run dry by the month of April. Open dry, deciduous forests interspersed with moist, sheltered valleys allows for a plethora of flora and fauna to flourish. Gentle slopes lead to flat-topped hills, providing a bird's eye view of fine forests around. The best known of thesepanoramic perches is 'Kalapahar' with an altitude of 650 mts. The Pench Riveracts as life giver with its many streams and water pools locally known as 'dohs'.
Flora and Fauna
Over 1200 species of plants have been noted from the area including rare and endangered plants. The vegetation is dominated by open canopies of mixed forests with considerable shrub cover alongside open grassy patches. The high habitat heterogeneity favours high population of Chital and Sambar .The area is especially famous for large herds of Gaur (Indian Bison), Cheetal, Sambar, Nilgai, Wild Dog and Wild Pig. The key predator is the Tiger followed by Leopard, Wild Dog and Wolf. Other animals include Sloth Bear, Chausinga, Chinkara, Barking Deer, Jackal, Fox, Palm Civet, Small Indian Civet, Jungle Cat, Hyena, Porcupine etc. There are over 285 species of resident and migratory birds. The other fauna present include 50 species of fishes, 10 amphibians, 30 reptiles, 45 butterflies, 54 moths and numerous other insects.
Did you know?
Who can forget Mowgli, the pint-sized 'Man-Child' of yesteryears? Or for that matter remember the friendly and playful Bagheera, the Black Panther. The inimitable Sher Khan, the villain of Rudyard Kipling's Jungle Book. Kipling was inspired to write his memorable book by the luxuriant forest cover of Pench teeming with an astonishing variety of wildlife.It was many a wild lifers' visits to these beautiful forests and their works such as R.A. Strendale's semi-autobiographical 'Seonee' and 'Denizens of the Jungle' that led to the ideation of ourall-time fun jungle lore – the Jungle Book! In fact it is interesting to know that the character of Mowgli was inspired by Sir William Henry Sleeman's pamphlet, 'An Account of Wolves Nurturing Children in Their Dens' which describes a wolf-boy captured in Seoni district near the village of SantBaori in 1831. Many of The Jungle Book's locations are actual locations in Seoni District, like the Waingungariver with its gorge where Sherkhan was killed, Kanhiwaravilllage and the 'Seeonee hills'.

Understanding Arc Flash Hazards
Arc Flash is an electric current that passes through air when insulation or isolation between electrified conductors is no longer sufficient to withstand the applied voltage. The flash is immediate, but the result of these incidents can cause severe injury including burns. Arc flashes also can destroy equipment causing extensive downtime and requiring costly replacement and repair.
The losses add up, as 5 to 10 arc flash accidents occur every day in the United States. More than 2,000 people are treated annually in burn centers with arc flash injuries and 1-2 deaths occur per day from an arc flash incident. Note that these are burn injuries, not electrical shocks. It is not necessary to touch live components to sustain an arc flash injury.
An arc flash may be caused by a tool, rodent or other element in a breaker or service area, that could compromise the distance between energized components. Incidents often occur when personnel fails to ensure that the equipment has been properly de-energized.
Arc Flash Physics
Electrical arcs produce some of the highest temperatures known to occur on earth, up to 35,000°F (19,426 °C). This is 4 times the temperature of the surface of the sun which is about 9000°F (4982°C). When materials vaporize, they greatly expand in volume, notably Copper-67,000 times (compare to water, 1670 times). This intense heat from the arc causes a blast with very high pressure.
An arc flash can cause injuries, depending on distance and exposure. These can range from minor burns, escalating to third degree burns and potential death as well as other significant injuries including blindness, hearing loss, nerve damage and cardiac arrest. Fatal burns can occur when the victim is several feet from the arc. Serious burns can occur at a distance of 10 feet. Staged tests have shown temperatures greater than 437°F (225°C) on the neck and hands of a person standing close to an arc blast.
Arcs spray droplets of molten metal at a high speed. Molten metal from an arc can be propelled for distances up to 10 feet. Blast shrapnel can penetrate the body. Blast pressure waves have thrown workers across rooms and knocked them off ladders. Pressure on the chest can be higher than 2000 lbs/sq. ft. Clothing can be ignited several feet away. Clothed areas can be burned more severely than exposed skin.
Arc Flash Safety and Prevention
Arc flash analysis must be performed prior to allowing personnel to work on energized equipment. The analysis defines the flash protection boundary distance and the type of Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) required.
Four separate industry standards establish practices for the prevention of arc flash incidents in the United States:
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is an enforcer of safety practices in workplaces within the United States. OSHA 1910.132 (d) and 1926.28(a) states that the employer is responsible to assess the hazards in the work place, and to select, have and use correct PPE and document the assessment. The employer is required to conduct hazard assessment in accordance with 29CFR1910 132(d).
The NFPA 70E standard contains detailed information on how to protect workers from the heat of electric arc exposures. Preventative maintenance, worker training, and an effective safety program can significantly reduce arc flash exposure.
Flash Protection Boundary
The flash protection boundary is an imaginary sphere that surrounds the potential arc point "within which a person could receive a second degree burn if an electrical arc flash were to occur," according to
Employers who conduct the hazard/risk assessment, and select and require their employees to use PPE, as stated in the NFPA 70E standard, are deemed in compliance with the Hazard Assessment and Equipment Selection OSHA Standard.

Pokemon Trading Card Game
Quick Facts
- Platforms: Game Boy Color, 3DS Virtual Console
- Suggested Platform: 3DS Virtual Console
- Developer: Hudson Soft
- Genre: Card Game
- Release Date: 4/10/00 (NA)
- Why Play It?: Good fun, plenty to collect and do, and a rocking sound track.
- Why Skip It?: If you're not a Pokemon fan, get frustrated at random occurrences, (coin flip or the way your deck got shuffled) or just don't like card game video games. Also, it's fairly short, unfortunately.
I remember when I was child, my stepfather at the time (who was not a great man) took me out to the store and told me I could have any Game Boy Game I wanted. Shocked by the sudden kindness in his heart (or so I thought), I grabbed the newest Pokemon game, this one. I later learned that he only got me a new game to keep my quiet about the new hunting rifle he bought directly after, but as a kid, I didn't even notice because I was building decks and dueling with virtual Pokemon cards. I remember it even came with a limited edition Meowth card, one that you could only get in the game itself. It was holographic and the game was so good, I couldn't even tell you what happened the rest of the day. At any rate, with Pokemon GO reigniting my love for Pokemon, I downloaded this bad boy from the 3DS Virtual Console. Having not played it in a good number of years, I was excited to get back into it. And I remembered (almost) instantly how great the game is. I beat it in a single day, about 8 or so hours.
The Pokemon Trading Card Game game (let's just call it the Pokemon TCG game) is essentially the actual TCG, but on a Game Boy. They tried to capture both the feel of the actual card game, as well as the feel of the Pokemon Game Boy games. I feel as though they did a fantastic job of channeling both of those things. The flow of the game is pretty simple and reminiscent of the other Pokemon games: go to each of the 8 clubs, which are sorted by the type the players within will use, defeat the leaders, and obtain their medals. When all 8 medals are obtained, the player can then face this game's version of the Elite Four, each holding one of the legendary cards. If you can successfully complete the final battles, you will obtain all four of the legendary cards, which were designed to be only in the Game Boy game, as they each have a bit of a random aspect to them. Unlike the other Pokemon Game Boy games, you can tackle each club in any order, enabling you to build any deck you like and pick your target, often going for their weakness. If you build a good enough deck, however, you might not even need to build multiple decks!
The game opens up with you heading to the Mason Laboratory to get a fairly lengthy tutorial that is annoying if you just want to play, as you must follow every step EXACTLY as it is spelled out for you. That said, if you're unfamiliar with the rules of the Pokemon TCG, it will get you firmly antiquated with the flow of the game. Obviously (hopefully) the game is turn based, and you must take turns powering up your Pokemon with energy cards (1 per turn, mind you), eventually evolving them and fighting your opponent. Once you knock out enough of your opponent's Pokemon (or deck your opponent), you win and are usually rewarded with two booster packs, giving you more cards so you can start building your own deck. When you start out, you can pick a deck revolving around either Charmander, Squirtle, or Bulbasaur and their evolutions, but as you start picking up more cards, you can start replacing some cards and make an entirely different deck if you so choose, which is great if your favorite Pokemon isn't one of the three starters, as you can build a deck around them instead, or around a specific Pokemon TCG playstyle. There are over 200 cards for you to collect, and practically infinite combinations you can use for your 60 card deck. Collecting them all doesn't have the same sense of accomplishment as building a strong deck does, but that's just me, I think. It felt really great when I beat the Grand Masters with my Fox God deck that revolves around my favorite, Ninetales.
Matches can end up lasting pretty long, depending on how each player's cards come up, even an upwards to a half hour. While you're battling, there had better be some good music playing. And my goodness, is there ever. This game has some of the best battle music in a Game Boy game, bar none. I personally feel as though it even beats the original Pokemon Game Boy games in terms of soundtrack. Go look up the normal duel music. I'm actually listening to it right now as I write this. It's fantastic. And although there are only 4 different duel tracks, they never get old.
The only real complaint I have with the game is that sometimes "randomness" can screw you. All of a sudden, your opponent is winning every coin flip, your deck isn't giving you any of the cards you need, the opponent is ruining every chance of your victory, and it just feels like the game is against you. And maybe that's a problem with the Pokemon TCG in general: the randomness of coin flips can really screw you sometimes. Ultimately though, it's a pretty minor complaint. Lastly, the game is fairly short, but on the plus side, you can duel every single character as many times as you like, meaning you can just build a new deck if you're getting sick of your main deck.
The duels are fun, the music is rocking, and it's great for people who want to play a TCG and don't have any friends to do so with. That said, if you do have friends with the game, you can certainly duel and trade cards in game, which is great. If you like Pokemon, good game music, or trading card games, I implore you, check out the Pokemon Trading Card Game. It's fantastic.

Starting May 3, 2018, every Magnifi Provider can earn cash by referring Users and/or Providers who participate in paid calls.
By sharing your profile sharing link with others who sign up for Magnifi, you will earn 5% of their gross call cost every time (referred to as "Affiliate Revenue"; subject to below Terms and Conditions).
Example 1: you share your profile sharing link with Amy, a great career coach you know. Amy uses this link to download Magnifi, sign up, and join Magnifi as a Provider. Now, every time Amy conducts a paid Magnifi call, you will earn 5% of that call's cost. So, if Amy conducts a call that costs Amy's caller $100, you will earn $5.
Example 2: you share your profile sharing link with Josh, a friend of yours looking for career advice. Josh uses this link to download Magnifi and sign up as a User. Now, every time Josh makes a paid Magnifi call, you will earn 5% of that call's cost. So, if Josh calls a Provider and pays $100 for a call to a career coach, you will earn $5.
Who Can Participate in the Affiliate Referral Program?
Only Magnifi Providers with published Provider profiles and an activated Stripe account can take part. In order for Magnifi to send you Affiliate Revenue, you must have connected your Stripe account to the Magnifi platform via the Provider profile creation process.

The Races of TESO: Dunmer
by Merari, Contributor — Category: Lore Articles
Post #867
With The Elder Scrolls Online approximately one year away from release, TESOF has decided to educate fans of the game on the playable races in TESO, so you can have a good idea of their backgrounds before you dive into the game. Today we'll be starting off with the Dark Elves.
Keep an eye peeled on the Articles section for more articles related to the races of TESO!
The Dunmer, or dark elves, are a race who's homeland is the province of Morrowind.
They are an ashen-skinned people with a hint of blue and have red eyes. 'Dark' in this case should not be taken to mean 'evil', rather it may refer to their dark skin, their sombre nature, or perhaps the curse that gave them their current appearance. More on that later.
Dunmer are a proud people with a distrust for foreigners and their prowess on the battlefield is not to be underestimated. Strong, clever and agile, they make fierce warriors and sorcerers. While they may seem callous and cruel to outsiders, the Dunmer are proud and value honour and their ancestors above all else. There is little they will not do to protect their families.
Young female Dunmer are notoriously promiscuous.
History of the Dunmer
Male Dunmer
Originally, like all elves, the Dunmer used to be Aldmer. However, in the late Merethic or elven era the mystic Veloth felt the Aldmeri culture had become decadent. He advocated a different philosophy and led his people away from the Summerset Isles in order to find the promised land of his visions.
These people were called the Chimer, or changed folk, and their travels led them to what now is known as Morrowind but in that time was named Dwemereth, home of the Dwemer; an elven race that had separated from the Aldmer earlier. Veloth named this land Resdayn.
Veloth, now known as saint Veloth, taught his people the difference between the good and bad Daedra. His influence won the 'good' Daedra (Azura, Boethiah, Mephala) for his people and his teachings detailed how the 'bad' Daedra should be handled carefully. Veloth's teachings advocated ancestor worship above all else and that the god-ancestor of all Chimer was Boethiah.
Boethiah gave gifts of civilisation to the Chimer, among which were philosophy, law, magic and responsible architecture. Azura honored the Chimer by sending their great warriors and leaders gifts of knowledge and magical artifacts. Mephala taught the secrets of lies, sex and murder and helped found the assassins cult of the Morag Tong, or foresters guild.
It was not long before the new arrivals clashed with the original
inhabitants, the Dwemer. Wars were fought over land and religion. However, during the early first era an enemy came unto the land that they could unite against. Around 1E240 the Nord High King Vrage invaded Dwemereth/Resdayn. The Dwemer king, Dumac, and Chimer lord Indoril Nerevar forged an alliance to repel them. This led to the foundation of the First Council of Resdayn in 1E416, led by Nerevar and Dumac.
Dwemer clan Rourken opposed allying themselves with outsiders and chose exile. They left Resdayn for what is now Skyrim and Hammerfell.
The alliance between the Dwemer and Chimer was not to last. Dwemer were staunch atheists while Chimer pious Daedra worshipers and so when the Dwemer found the Heart of Lorkhan, a very powerful magical artifact, under Red Mountain there was disagreement on what should be done with it.
The chief tonal architect (engineer) of the Dwemer, lord Kagrenac, constructed what is known as Kagrenac's Tools, enchanted to harness the power of the Heart.
For the Chimer this was an unacceptable blasphemy and the War of the First Council broke out in 1E688 after Nerevar learned from Azura that these tales were indeed true. Azura bestowed on him the Moon-and-Star, a magical ring only he could wear that granted him great powers of persuasion.
Lord Indoril Nerevar united the Chimer great houses and nomadic tribes under his banner and became known as the Hortator (war leader).
Numidium, TES3 artworkMeanwhile the Dwemer were constructing a golem meant to be powered by the Heart to become a living god. It came to a head at the Battle of Red Mountain. With the troops of Nerevar about to breach the Dwemer stronghold that kept the Heart and the golem Numidium, Kagrenac made a last-ditch effort to save his people. He struck the Heart with the Tools he had crafted... and all Dwemer dissapeared from the face of Tamriel, never to be seen again.
There are many differing and conflicting accounts on what exactly happened next, but they all agree that Nerevar's trusted High Councillor, Voryn Dagoth, advocated the Tools should be destroyed. Nerevar left his friend to guard the Tools and Heart while he sought the council of his Tribunal, Vivec, Almalexia and Sotha Sil.
They concluded that the Tools should be preserved but never used and returned to Red Mountain.
Some say Dagoth had been enthralled by the power of the Heart, siphoned some of it into himself, and refused to give it or the Tools up.
Some say the Tribunal murdered Nerevar and Dagoth fought them to avenge his friend.
The Tribunal then defeated Dagoth Ur and he was thought to have been killed. House Dagoth was disbanded and its members assimilated into other houses.
Nerevar was dead.
Much later it became known that Dagoth was merely sleeping under Red Mountain, siphoning power off the Heart.
The Tribunal ignored Nerevar's dying wish and decided to use the Tools and Heart to ascend themselves unto godhood. This greatly angered Azura.
She appeared unto the newly ascended Triune and spoke:
"What you have done here today is foul beyond measure and you will grow to regret it, for the lives of gods are not what mortals think and matters that weigh only years to mortals weigh on gods forever."
Thus Azura cursed all the Velothi Chimer, who then became Dunmer.
"Let this mark remind you of your true selves who, like ghouls, fed on the nobility, heroism, and trust of their king."
Resdayn became known as Morrowind. The Tribunal went on to become living gods and took over the role that the good Daedra had in their culture beforehand. Boethiah became the anticipation of Almalexia, Mephala the anticipation of Vivec and Azura that of Sotha Sil. The Tribunal guides and protects their Dunmer people but deal harshly with heresy.
Just before the time period that The Elder Scrolls Online is set in, Vivec repelled an Akaviri invasion of Morrowind by teaching his people the magic of waterbreathing and submerging the island of Vvardenfell.
The Great Houses and Ashlanders
The Dunmer people are roughly divided into two distinct groups.
The nomadic Ashlanders who follow the old ways and do not acknowledge the Tribunal and the settled Dunmer, organised into houses that grew from their tribes. There are a few Great Houses and several lesser ones.
Kagouti, native animal as seen in TES3
Until the formation of the First Council the Ashlanders were much like their Dunmer cousins who resided in permanent settlements.
However they have never accepted the divine Tribunal and since the formation of the Great Houses have been slowly but surely displaced into the most inhospitable areas.
Ashlanders are nomadic and travel with their herds to suitable hunting grounds where they build temporary seasonal camps.
Most of their resources, food, building materials, weapons and armour come from the local wildlife.
The Ashlanders are xenophobic and hostile towards outsiders.
Their sense of honour does permit them to adopt an outsider who has aided them into their clan as a clanfriend.
House Indoril
The Indoril are conservative and pious followers of the Tribunal Temple.
Indoril district consists of the Morrowind mainland south of the Inner Sea and the eastern coast and contains the city of Almalexia.
A large section of Ordinators and other Temple guards and enforcers hail from house Indoril.
They are openly hostile to outside influence and the fiercest supporters of traditional Temple doctrine.
House Dres
House Dres is largely an agricultural house. Its holdings are in the south of Morrowind, bordering Black Marsh.
Their large plantations rely almost solely on slaves as a work force.
As such they vehemently oppose any cultural influence that objects to their practices. Especially the races of man tend to view unbridled slavery as undesirable.
House Hlaalu
A trading house, Hlaalu has tradionally been the most open to influence from foreign cultures. They aspire to live in peace with other nations, as this is good for business. While supporters of the Tribunal Temple, they are the most open to other beliefs and ideas. Their holdings lie in the south-west of Morrowind
House Redoran
The west of Morrowind is Redoran land. A militaristic house, the Redoran prize honour, piety, gravity and duty above all else.
"Duty is to one's own honor, and to one's family and clan. Gravity is the essential seriousness of life. Life is hard, and events must be judged, endured, and reflected upon with due care and earnestness. Piety is respect for the gods, and the virtues they represent. A light, careless life is not worth living."
House Telvanni
Isolationist, eccentric, ambitious. Telvanni is a house of mage-lords who each rule their demesne more or less as an independant city-state.
While their capital Telvannis in the east of Morrowind houses the archmagister and council, most mage-lords would scoff at the notion that anyone could stand above them, let alone lay down the law.
Apart from house Dres they are the staunchest supporters of slavery.
As an example of their general attitude, house rules state that if a Telvanni steals from a Telvanni and lives, he clearly deserves to keep what he stole as he displayed superior prowess. Advancement in the house is often settled in a duel to the death with the current holder of the aspired title.
MorrowindMorrowind is the north-east most province of Tamriel and dominated by the Red Mountain, a gigantic volcano.
In fact, the entire central island of Vvardenfell is the raised centre of a great caldera caused by an eruption of Red Mountain. The Inner Sea separating Vvardenfell from mainland Morrowind is the inside rim of that crater.
Legend has it that Red Mountain was created when the Aedra punished Lorkhan for his deception. They tore out his heart and flung it across Tamriel. Where it landed, Red Mountain erupted for the first time.
The land of Morrowind is heavily affected by constant ash storms emanating from Red Mountain. The magical ash salts in these storms have caused adaptations and mutations in the native plant and animal life, which causes Morrowind to possess a unique flora and fauna that can survive nowhere else.
Especially the nomadic Ashlander tribes of Dunmer have tamed native beasts to serve as beasts of burden, mounts and a source of food and building materials for their dwellings, weapons and the traditional armour of the Ashlanders.
The island of Vvardenfell has become a temple preserve and is normally not open to outsiders.

Tuesday, Dec. 6, Ryan Adams, Jessica Lea Mayfield, Carnegie Hall, $30
Ryan Adams' new album is not so much his best album in years as it is his most focused. Instead of indulging his every whim, be it a Grateful Dead impression to an ode to "Star Wars," on Ashes & Fire there's an audible effort being made to group together songs that work as a piece with a minimum of dull moments or completely out of place "Oh, Ryan" moments. It's a great album for people who like the idea of Adams (or at one point liked Adams) but are still traumatized by the time he released 85 albums in 2005. And hardcore Adams fans that actually like it when he makes songs about "Star Wars," take heart. He's just as likely to play it straight at Carnegie as he is to offer up a 20-minute version of "Halloween Head." If you decide to risk it, show up early for Jessica Lea Mayfield, the sort of singer from whom colloquialisms like "a whole tornado of trouble" were created.
Tuesday, Dec. 6,G-Side, Mr. MuthafXXXXX' eXquire, Cities Aviv, Glassland, $12
The pride of Huntsville, Ala. have already dropped to solid releases this year, The One...Cohesive and iSLAND that take hard-knuckled cues from Southern rap 8Ball & MJG, UGK and Scarface, but adds a warm dose of working-man humanity. Get there early for current New York mixtape king Mr. MuthafXXXXX' eXquire so he can explain to you why he finds your partying habits woefully poor.
Tuesday, Dec. 6, Parenthetical Girls, Sam Mickens and Guests, Shea Stadium, $7
Parenthetical Girls is 4/5 of its way into an unorthodox, limited release schedule: The Portland, Ore. band is pressing its experimental pop into a five-EP vinyl set called Privilege, 500 of each disc made. It's less-than coincidence that like-vibratoed showman Sam Mickens and his band will join the Girls Tuesday: he's a former touring member of Parenthetical Girls. With Mickens on stage and Jherek Bischoff playing alongside the elliptic ladies, we're one man away from The Dead Science tooling out more art-jazz -- with such a friends' club at Shea Stadium, Tuesday, who knows?
Wednesday, Dec. 7-Saturday, Dec. 10, The Weakerthans, The Bowery Ballroom, $20
The Weakerthans are so Canadian that they write songs about beloved Montreal icons, but they have enough stateside fans that they're setting up shop in New York for a few days for their "4 & More NYC" tour stand, for which the Canuck punks will perform one of their albums in its entirety each night, "plus favorites." Their debut Fallow gets aired on Wednesday, Left and Leaving on Thursday, Reconstruction Site on Friday and their most recent release, 2007's Reunion Tour, on Saturday.
Thursday, Dec. 8, Cheap Trick, The Paramount, (Huntington, N.Y., on Long Island), $49.50
Even if you have to party-bus it out there, even if you know the aging power-rockers for nothing more than "I Want You to Want Me" and four-armed guitars, this one's worth checking off the to-do list. This is the bulletproof show, carrying the heft of honest-to-god rock icons. I refer you to this Sept. 23 video wherein the band plays on a stage lit from below and with an orchestra in a loft rather than a pit. But if you watch really closely, it appears the stage's monitors also function as teleprompters for the band? This renders Cheap Trick's lyrics literally unforgettable. This show cannot fail. Unless you count the weather issues that in August forced the band from the stage only a few songs in at Marty Markowitz's Coney Island shindig. Now that was a cheap trick.

I was just in the DeKalb store and I wanted everyone to know how awesome the customer service was! I have a little boy that I'm trying to get into reading, the programs offered for the little ones and the eagerness of the sales associates was bar none!
I just wanted to take a second and tell you how pleased I was with my service at the Graham Crackers Comics in DeKalb. I just graduated from Northern Illinois University this spring, and for the entire time I attended, Graham Crackers Comics DeKalb was my comic book store.
They are really great there. They always made me feel welcome. They remembered my name, even though it is really hard to say. They always dealt with my frequent changes to my pull list with, and never complained. I never once didn't get a comic that I wanted. But most amazing of all, they learned what comics I liked, and saved them for me just in case I didn't know they were coming out. For instance, when Ultimatum #4 came out, they saved me a copy of the "Peter Parker RIP variant," instead of the regular cover, knowing that I would want that one. I was a big Spider-Man and Flash fan, and they always saved variant covers for me, even if I didn't ask for them. They knew I would want them. They truly were great there, and I'm sorry that I had to move away. If the Metra West Line went one more stop out to DeKalb, I would take it out there every Wednesday, and continue to get my comics from them.
They run a great comic book store there, and they deserve some good praise.
I personally wanted to thank you. Your store has provided me a safe refuge from the daily grind of life. I come in and I don't have to worry much about what happens in the outside world, only what is happening in the DC, Marvel, and Independent Universes. When I walk into the store and hear everyone's cheerfull greeting, with Charles in the zone or converting someone else to Aquaman, Kevin too easily able to make me laugh or recomend good indy books and Chris, the All-Father-of-Clix, giving me insight into Heroclix, and finally Nick, for bringing his A-Game. You guys have grown to be some of the best friends I could have and I am glad that I grew my hobby of comics through the open minded people that you all are.--Matt Coyle

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Members of a Minneapolis church have voted to remove an embroidery depicting the first Thanksgiving and a slave ship.
Leaders of Plymouth Congregational Church deemed the massive embroidery "disturbing and hurtful."
A group of church members had proposed an alternative plan that would keep the embroidery on display while adding new artwork reflecting diversity.
The Star Tribune reports Sunday's special meeting included a worship service before and after the vote, which church members chose to do by secret ballot.
Out of 561 votes cast, 372 were to keep the existing plan — which was to take the embroidery down.
The embroidery was one of four works created by a group of church women.

UX/UI designers often pigeon hole design into being such a *specialization* that we isolate ourselves from people who may have great insight on the problems we are trying to solve. And all too often, this stems from the self-proclaimed idea that we are either right or left-brained types of people. I don't know about you… but I haven't met any half-brained people lately.
Let's talk about the ways to branch out of our tight circles and engage in collaboration with people who think different from ourselves. And let's get over the idea that we are unable to (or shouldn't) learn stuff because we think a certain way.

Keep Your Edge
Is this how your healthcare employees feel?
We recently asked a few healthcare workers about the top reasons why healthcare employees are not engaged. One RN told us "after over 40 years of nursing…this year we were handed blank yearly evaluation forms by our supervisors and told to fill them out and comment on our performance. This may be a new age, but what that screams to me is 'you are not worth the time it takes me to evaluate your work performance.'"
Do you want to retain those top performers so they can continue to care for your patients? Let them know that you care. Don't just hand them a blank evaluation form and tell them to fill it out – make sure that they are getting feedback throughout the year, and provide them with a helpful, thoughtful performance evaluation as well as the training and learning opportunities to continue to grow and learn. It's not just a matter of numbers, or ratings; performance assessments are personal.
How can you make sure your employees don't feel neglected?
Start with continuous feedback. If your healthcare staff members are receiving continuous feedback that is then tied to their performance assessment, they would know that the organization cares enough about them as individuals. An employee's manager can derive this feedback from journaling about the employee throughout the year to document achievements and moments when that employee was caught simply performing their job well. A recent study found that 72% of respondents believe their performance would improve if provided with correct feedback1. Feedback should not be relegated to an annual or quarterly closed door meeting. With the right tools it can happen continuously when and how it is convenient for both parties.
Train your managers to give effective feedback. Managers are often unaware of the important role they serve in the employee development process, but making managers aware of just how important they are in shaping their employees is only the first step. Show your leaders and managers what good feedback looks like. Managers should be given access to self-service management learning through their own collaborative development portal, such as the PeopleFluent Talent Development Mirror. Giving constructive feedback should be a required course in your leadership development program. Let feedback serve a bigger purpose. Be sure that the feedback ties back to employees' goals and competencies and check that all feedback is readily available to managers during any formal evaluation events. Most of our healthcare employees want constructive feedback, and certainly those high-performers do. They want to continually improve and they look for how they can do even better the next time.
Make it easy and fast to give constructive feedback. 'One of the most common [barriers], if not the most common, is lack of time' Dr. Joseph Gigante at Vanderbilt University notes. It's no surprise – your managers are busy. Make it easier and faster for them and make feedback something people actually do with technology to streamline the process.
Invite more perspective. It's not only managers who witness an employee's performance, particularly with those managers who have a wide span of control. So make it easy for all employees and managers to provide feedback with tools like anytime-anywhere feedback, multi-rater and 360 degree review tools. That will help ensure your staff receive well-rounded, comprehensive feedback.
Make sure you know who your hidden star performers are and give them the recognition they deserve. Find those star performers by analyzing the performance and key metrics from other sources such as HCAHPS. Correlate and incorporate those metrics with the individual performance reviews.
Connect learning management systems with performance and talent development systems. The most ambitious employees are those that are continually improving their skills. Make sure you are enabling your employees to do just that with suggested learning opportunities that are presented to them from their talent profiles. Maybe it's a particular clinical competency, soft skills, or diversity and cultural awareness training.
'Healthcare support occupations and healthcare practitioners and technical occupations are projected to be the two fastest growing occupational groups during the 2014 to 2024 projections decade. These groups are projected to contribute the most new jobs, with a combined increase of 2.3 million in employment, representing about 1 in 4 new jobs.'2 In order to retain your most talented healthcare employees, you need to focus on attracting, and then retaining your high performing staff. By letting your employees know that you care with continuous feedback from a wide variety of colleagues and appropriately presented learning and development opportunities, they will know that you do care, that they are worth the time, and they will be able to focus more on patient care.

Northrop Grumman has well-established businesses and a range of programme interests in Europe, including Norway, where we deliver proven and trusted defence and security capabilities to government and commercial customers.
Northrop Grumman has a long history of partnership with Norway that spans more than 75 years. It began in 1940 when we provided twenty-four Northrop N-3PB float plane aircraft for the Royal Norwegian Air Force's 330 Squadron based in Iceland, which were operated in the maritime surveillance role.
Since then we have been delivering innovative technologies to support Norway's defence and national security requirements. Norway was the first international customer for the highly successful Northrop F-5 Freedom Fighter aircraft, a platform that it operated for more than 30 years. Northrop Grumman supplies world-class radar sensor and platform protection technology for the Royal Norwegian Air Force F-16 aircraft, as well as operationally-enabling equipment to the P3C Orion and other essential military systems. We continue to grow through new opportunities and industrial collaboration with Kongsberg Defence Systems, on programmes including F-35 Lightning II and NATO Alliance Ground Surveillance (AGS) system.
As a principal partner for the F-35 not only do we provide the central fuselage, the radar, and much of the aircraft's situational awareness, but also the communications and battlespace networks capability. We are also the pre-eminent provider of high altitude long endurance unmanned air systems (UAS) and we have core industry-leading capabilities and experience in data management, open systems networks, tactical communications, and cyber security.
We maintain an active presence in Norway through our subsidiary Northrop Grumman Sperry Marine in Bergen which is responsible for the sales, repair and service of marine navigation systems. We are a member of FSI and AMCHAM Norway.

Positively Fulfilling the Negative Prohibitions
"…When he had finished speaking with him on mount sinai, he gave Moshe the two tablets of the testimony…" – Shemos 31:18
וַיִּתֵּן אֶל משֶׁה כְּכַלֹּתוֹ לְדַבֵּר אִתּוֹ בְּהַר סִינַי שְׁנֵי לֻחֹת הָעֵדֻת – שמות לא, יח
Rashi notes that the Torah here spells the word Luchos, tablets, as לֻחֹת—without the letter "ו" that emphasizes the plural, according to which the word can also be read as לֻחַת, luchas, a singular form of the Hebrew word for tablet. Rashi explains that the Torah employs this unusual spelling here to highlight that the two tablets were identical.
Though the simple meaning of Rashi's explanation is that both Luchos were of equal size, Rashi's words could also be interpreted homiletically as alluding to the spiritual equivalence of the content of each of the Luchos.
Inscribed in the Luchos were the Ten Commandments, the first five on one of the Luchos, and the last five on the other. The first five commandments are principally positive commandments: faith in the existence of G-d, observance of Shabbos, and honoring your parents. [The Sefer Hachinuch (Mitzvos 26-30) explains that even the second and third commandments, not to make or worship idols, and not to swear falsely in G-d's name, are offshoots of the first commandment, the positive mitzvah to have faith in G-d's existence.] Conversely, the last five of the commandments are prohibitions: do not murder, do not commit adultery, etc.
Accordingly, the Torah's spelling of the word Luchos in singular form comes to teach us that refraining from that which the Torah prohibits, albeit throughinactivity and restraint, is equally asconstructive as fulfilling the positive commands. For the bond with G-d that you create with each mitzvah you fulfill is the same, whether you are observing that which He commands us to do, or abstaining from that which He prohibits us from doing.
In addition, equating the positive commands inscribed in the first tablet with the prohibitions inscribed in the second tablet highlights that there is an active element as well to the observance of the prohibitions; namely, the study of their detailed laws as they are found in the Torah.
—Sefer Hasichos 5751, vol. 1, pp. 369-370

Chocolate drizzled something...
Which I did yesterday....by making chocolate drizzled strawberry and pound cake kabobs.
Here ya go.
Now, they weren't for me, I made them for a friend who just had a baby. I don't know from experience, but I'm pretty sure new Mom's need lots of chocolate, right?
I admit...I did have one kabob. I had to make sure they tasted ok! But I think my hour long, Slim in 6 strength dvd and my 3 mile run burned it off.
Just for the record, they were pretty much amazing!!

MOSCOW -- Shots were fired and at least one person was injured Saturday afternoon as Russian troops stormed a Ukrainian air force base near the Crimean port city of Sevastopol. At least six Russian armored vehicles reportedly took part in the attack, the initial part of which could be viewed live via webcam.
The video feed showed a Russian armored personnel carrier breaking down the gates of the base at Belbek as another Russian armored vehicle provided cover with a heavy machine gun. The broadcast was terminated after a Russian soldier in a black mask climbed the lamp post on which the camera was installed and disabled it.
Five more armored vehicles then joined the attack, breaking down parts of a perimeter fence, allowing Russian footsoldiers armed with automatic rifles and machine guns to rush in, Oleg Klimov, a Russian freelance journalist who witnessed the scene, told The Times.
"As they broke inside the base territory a man in civilian clothes went out to them appearing to want to negotiate but they brought him down with a rifle butt and started kicking him with their boots and rifle butts," Klimov said in a phone interview. "Then several dozen base officers and soldiers, some of them armed with Kalashnikovs, confronted the attackers, and a very tense standoff ensued as both sides were pointing guns at each other and screaming at the top of their voices."
The Russians shot in the air; the Ukrainians did not fire their weapons, Klimov said.
"Then the Ukrainians were given an order by their commander to put down their guns and surrender, which they did as Russians ran around the base and took key positions of control over it," Klimov said.
Earlier in the day, Russian troops in a similar fashion stormed a Ukrainian unit that protected a navy airfield at Novofedorovka, Ukraine Defense Ministry spokesman Alexei Mazepa told The Times.
"The Russians used stun and smoke grenades and were also shooting in the air," Mazepa said in a phone interview. "In one word what we see today in Crimea is an agony of Ukraine troops which never got a concrete order from Kiev what to do in these dire circumstances."
A battalion of Ukrainian marines, a Ukraine naval vessel in Sevastopol Bay and two other boats in Donuzlav Lake were the last remaining Ukrainian armed forces in the Crimean peninsula still flying a Ukrainian flag after Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a treaty officially sealing Crimea's annexation Friday, Mazepa said.
"The only command I got from my superiors was to try to make it back to Ukraine on my own," said Mazepa, who is still in Crimea.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu ordered the Russian Black Sea Fleet to help evacuate 61 Ukrainian army paratroopers who expressed a desire to return from Crimea, the Defense Ministry official website said Saturdey.
Of 18,000 Ukrainian army and navy personnel based on the Crimean peninsula, fewer than 2,000 expressed a desire to continue to serve in Ukraine's army and return to Ukraine, said a statement posted on the Russian Defense Ministry website Saturday.
The Russian flag this week was raised by 147 Ukrainian army and navy units in Crimea, the report said, including eight Ukrainian naval vessels and one submarine.

Weekend Giveaway: The Paint Brush Coverposted by Andrea | 08/31/2012
UPDATE: This giveaway is now closed.
The winners will be contacted shortly!
It's Labor Day weekend — and for Dave and me, that almost always means some sort of painting project. The Home Depot always has a great rebate on Behr paint {my favorite paint} so we usually stock up on plain white paint and then have it tinted later as we decide on color choices.
This year, we're painting our kitchen walls and ceiling, a bunch of trim, and our front entryway.
I just LOVE how a fresh coat of paint totally transforms a room (or a piece of furniture) for less than $30! What an inexpensive, and relatively simple project, especially for those of us who enjoy painting.
And even if you don't love painting, but you do it anyway because you're too cheap to pay a professional, I've got a fun painting tool that will make your life just a little easier…
I first heard about The Paint Brush Cover a few months ago, and I've had ample opportunities to test it out over the course of our kitchen renovations this summer.
These covers are a really simple concept, but boy do they save your brushes — which means they save you time and money by protecting your brushes from drying out. And they work WAY better than plastic wrap {ahem… speaking from first-hand experience!}
So if you're planning any painting projects, or if you'd just like to protect and properly store your current brushes, you just might want to give The Paint Brush Cover a try!
You can watch the video about how it works; you can order The Paint Brush Cover directly from their website {which is also full of helpful tips}; and you can also enter to win one of 25 that I'm giving away this weekend!
The Giveaway:
Today, 25 lucky readers will win a Paint Brush Cover — perfect for any upcoming projects you have planned!
How to Enter:
1. {required} Leave a comment on this post. What is the next home project you want to tackle?
2. {optional} Like Simple Organized Living and/or The Paint Brush Cover on Facebook, and then leave a separate comment letting me know you did {or that you do already}.
If you are reading this in your email or feed reader, please visit the actual blog post to enter. Email entries, Facebook comments, and Twitter messages will NOT be counted.
(25) Paint Brush Covers as described above.
This giveaway ends at 10:00 pm on Monday, 9/03/2012 and is open to US residents, 18 years or older. I will use And the Winner Is to select the winning comments at random. Winners will be notified by email and noted at the top of this post. Winners must respond within 48 hours of notification to claim their prize or I will choose a new winner. Please see my full disclosure policy and contact me with any questions you have. Good luck!

We are painting our living room and making our own entertainment center out of an old dresser!
This very minute I am in the middle of a big overhaul in our family room! It has taken quite a while as the project is large (lots of area to cover) and it requires quite a few coats of paint. When the family room is finished I am moving on to the dining room. After painting the walls in that room, the furniture will be getting a new coat of paint as well!

The art of tech innovation draws from youthful creativity
This week we point the SearchCIO.com Searchlight on tech innovation, with items about creative thinkers from "idea monkeys" to Pinterest pioneers.
Feeling stressed out today? Maybe you should try sniffing a little burnt sienna. We didn't fact check his science, but graffiti artist Erik Wahl says the smell of Crayola crayons is proven to reduce blood pressure in adults by 10 points. Wahl, the corporate climber turned graffiti artist, might not be the first guy who comes to mind for a motivational chat aimed at rousing tech innovation. As it turns out, if something can connect a room full of IT pros and a freeform artist, it's a universal love for the 64 ct. Crayola box (you know, the really awesome one with the sharpener in the back).
Wahl was the keynote speaker at this week's Gartner Inc. Catalyst conference in San Diego, Calif., doing his darnedest to get a roomful of left-brained techies to remember the joys of creativity they experienced as children. While not calling on the room to abandon their data centers to unleash unsanctioned murals upon the world, he did appeal to them to reconnect with the fecund right brains of their youth. Any type of innovation, including tech innovation, can only be realized when the mind is open, free to create. And that roomful of techies, we daresay, took Wahl's message to heart, at least for the few moments of the roaring standing ovation. In this week's roundup, we look to keep that excitement about tech innovation rolling with a collection of items about folks who think outside the box -- from "idea monkeys," to respected scientists, to Pinterest pioneers.
- Failure is a part of innovation, but we bet no one wants to make a personal habit of it. Sometimes innovative people are so brimming with ideas they can't focus on one long enough to see it succeed. Mike Maddock, a self-described "idea monkey" and co-owner of innovation firm Maddock Douglas, writes about why "monkeys" like him need to partner with "ringleaders" to find balance and success.

- Never mind whether androids dream of electric sheep -- can technology feel remorse? Tech innovation, for example, killed the wristwatch. (Which of your mobile devices doesn't have a clock/calendar/alarm?) Now, tech innovation is bringing it back.
- Talk about tech innovation -- or just look at it. This animated infographic shows how far the Internet has come in the last decade. Among the mindboggling numbers: Ten years ago someone with a 56K modem would wait 12.5 minutes (minutes!) to download a song. Today? Eighteen seconds.
- Creative minds need space to roam, but that space better be up to code. The inhabitants of Silicon Valley's communal techie workspace Hacker Dojo (birthplace of Pinterest) are being forced to focus their innovative minds on raising funds to legalize their digs, lest they face a future of scamming free Wi-Fi at Starbucks.
- Finally, in case you missed it, check out more coverage from Gartner Catalyst 2012, including this look at what to expect when architecting a mobility solution. Watch for more conference-related stories and tips at SearchCIO.com in the days ahead.

text: The following series of writings, are writings that I Anthony L Manson wrote concerning the church of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It has been revised, and is 50% owned by The United States Conference Of Catholic Bishops,with 50% of it's copyrights. The Church, which is The Body of Jesus Christ, is very huge, it is bigger than we will ever know here on earth. Taken this in account doesn't mean that the way that I'm writing this,is the way it is throughout the church which consist of three branches which are The Eastern Orthodox,The Roman Catholic Church,and The Protestant Churches, the body of Jesus Christ. I writing this in a general way, 1 Cor. 12:28." And God hath set some in the church," The United State Government is consist of governments with in a government. The Federal Government is the strong central power that is made up as three branches of power The Executive, The Legislative, and The Judicial. This government is similar to the government of God, yet different. Similar in that they both have governments within a government,but they are structured differently. For example,in the United States the officials are at the top of the structure, In the Kingdom of God,the ministry is a the top. Just like Moses went up on the mountain to receive instructions from God to give to the people,this is even more true to this very day,that God through his Son use the ministry to give instructions and spiritual food to the people. Isaiah 9:6-7,"For unto us a child is born," As I stated, that the government of God is consist of governments with in a government. The bible speaks of God's kingdom and the kingdom or government of God's dear Son,who is Jesus Christ.The new testament Church,which is made up of The Eastern Orthodox,The Roman Catholic Church,and The Protestant Church are under the rule of Jesus Christ and under the authority of the Trinity,which is God the Father,Son,and Holy Ghost,the Kingdom of God. Jesus Christ Kingdom,which is the church,is build on the Apostles and old testament Prophets and Jesus Christ is the head,which have giving the keys,the secrets and authority,to Apostle Peter,and Peter pass those keys down to the other Apostles,as it is written in Matthew 16:18-19,and Ephesians 2:20. The other Apostles pass those same keys to the Bishops of the church,and the Bishops pass them other bishops and priests,elders,ministers,missionaries,deacons,heads and throughout the church. With these keys gives the church access and power to govern,and for the church to be given to the Trinity, 1 Corinthians 2:1-16. The Modern Church is still governed by the ministry a the top,in the three branch of the church,there is a head Bishop and a board of bishops,or head Clergy and a board of clergy's, and other priests and ministers,evangelist,prophets,missionaries,deacons,and all other gifts to equipped,build up,edifying,and to govern the church as stated in Ephesians chapter 4,and 1 Corinthians chapter 12. The purpose of the church is clear,and in governing is where we need stay on task or mission, of our calling and duty to serve one another in grace and love and be a guiding light to those who is without knowledge of Jesus Christ. This will we do in the name of The Father,The Son, and Holy Spirit,amen.

Sagna out of France's World Cup qualifier in Luxembourg
PARIS (AP) — Manchester City defender Bacary Sagna has been ruled out of France's World Cup qualifier against Luxembourg because of left thigh injury.
The French soccer federation says Sagna, who had joined his teammates at France's training camp outside Paris, will be replaced by Lyon right back Christophe Jallet.
France will also be without Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba for its trip to Luxembourg on March 25 in Group A, which the French lead by three points. France hosts Spain in a friendly international at the Stade de France three days later.
Jallet has made 11 appearances with France but has not played with the national since a friendly against the Netherlands in March 2016.

Greece's government will fall…and so will the European Union.
We will stand by the people of Greece.
We are currently attacking all digital police infrastructures.
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
To the Greek government, you should've expected us.
Citizens of Greece,
We are Anonymous.
We have been following the events currently taking place in Athens, and we have mixed reactions. We are saddened by the destruction and the ruin this campaign has cost Athens and the people living within it. Yet we can sympathize with them. The government has avoided the people's requests countless times. It has refused to listen to its people, and this is why we stand by the people of Greece. We have felt their pain and suffering. We cannot stand by and watch while the people are oppressed because of Austerity measures that won't benefit them in the long run.
This is why we stand against the Greek government. We have warned them multiple times to stop their actions against their people. We have warned them to stop supporting these cuts that will indefinitly hurt the middle and lower class. They did not comply. The actions currently taking place are the result of them not complying with our demands. We did not organize these riots in any way. All we did was spread the word of your government's failure to meet the people's terms.
Anonymous is continuing their attacks against the Greek government, and will not stop until the people get what they want. If this does not happen Greece's government will fall. This is also a warning to all the other European Union counterparts. Italy, Spain, Portugal, Britain, Poland, and all the others will suffer the same fate as Greece's.
You have all been warned.
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
We will stand by the people of Greece.
To the Greek government, you should've expected us.

[deleted account] ( 32 moms have responded )
So this baby walks into a bar, and …
Well, the baby didn't actually walk into the bar—it was in a stroller, pushed by its mother, who was going to have a drink or two with some other moms who brought their kids, and…that's why this is no joke.
There's a bar fight brewing across the country. In Seattle, Austin, Philadelphia, Boston and beyond, bar patrons are getting lathered up on both sides of a polarizing parenting issue: is it responsible (or even acceptable) to belly up to the bar with young children in tow?
Those opposed to the mix of cocktails and sippy cups have posted their unequivocal sentiments on numerous online message boards and blogs, like this one in Philadelphia: "I do not want to be in a bar around children. Ever. Bars are for adults."
Stroller grid-lock has been increasing in bars—often under signs that say "No One Under 21 Admitted"—along with the irritation of patrons who object to shoving crayons out of the way of their cosmos.
Those pushing for more babies in bars are usually the same people pushing the strollers: mothers of the pre-school set, who say: "We want to do everything we always did, but with our babies."
So when the owner of a bar in Brooklyn recently posted a "Please No Strollers" sign, he opened yet the latest front in the battle of the bottle. Moms seethed, while critics— like this one in Tucson —applauded: "Grow up, people," she wrote. "Your lives are different now."
Tell us what you think: Are we lowering the responsibility bar by allowing kids in the neighborhood bar?

text: Intact vesicles are eluted from the exoEasy membrane with higher purity compared with ultracentrifugation. exoRNeasy isolates small and large RNAs from extracellular vesicles present in plasma. exoRNeasy captures all mRNA and vesicle-specific miRNAs in plasma. The exoRNeasy Serum/Plasma Maxi Kit workflow - sample to microvesicles to total RNA, in just one hour. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM; 20,000x magnification) was performed on a solubilized pellet from ultracentrifugation of pre-filtered (0.8 µm) plasma compared to a non-lysed eluate of an exoEasy column. Both preparations contain vesicle-shaped structures with an expected size range from 50–200 nm (white arrows; scale bar 200 nm). The preparation from ultracentrifugation also includes many smaller, unidentified structures that do not match the expected shape and size of extracellular vesicles. Bioanalyzer sizing was performed with vesicle-derived RNA purified by two methods. The plasma was pre-filtered (0.8 µm) to exclude larger particles and subjected to either ultracentrifugation, the current gold standard of vesicle isolation, or the exoRNeasy procedure. Both methods purify RNA of similar size and yield. RNA from pre-filtered plasma was isolated with exoRNeasy and the flow-through of the exoEasy column was used in direct lysis. Shown are raw CT values from RT-qPCR experiments with duplicate replicate isolations and duplicate qPCR reactions. * Arroyo, J.D. et al. (2011) Argonaute2 complexes carry a population of circulating microRNAs independent of vesicles in human plasma. Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 108, 5003. Starting with filtered plasma, the exoRNeasy Serum/Plasma Maxi Kit provides microvesicle isolation in just 20 minutes. A subsequent 35-minute isolation procedure yields total RNA. Just one hour from sample to microvesicle RNA means you can spend less time getting the RNA, and more time deciphering what it means.

|On my way to work!
Even if we are in deep sleep (REM), silence will wake us up. It's interesting how when we are used to these noises we sleep like a baby. But take away the sounds and we wake up discombobulated. What's wrong? Why is it so quite?
I am tucked in nice and cosy under the duvet dreaming of sandy beaches in faraway places. I stir sleepily, then I become aware of the silence and the darkness of the bedroom. I look towards the direction of the dresser for the clock, it is shrouded in blackness. Immediately I know the power is out. I reach for my ipad on the night table to check the time, 4:03 am. I was not too surprised that we were having a power outage. Especially with freezing rain throughout the previous day and over night, there was a high probability for it to occur. And of course, it had to happend when hubby is away on business. This is the joy of country living, which is just a bump in the middle of the night.
I should have turned over and resumed sleeping, but I couldn't. This silence, is not normal and it puts me on edge. I wake up.
Thankfully, we are prepared for these occasional power outages. Although,

Eau no! Interest dries up as workmen drain 'celebrity' puddle
A puddle that gripped the nation has been drained by two council workers unaware of its celebrity status.
Hundreds of thousands of Britons watched a livestream on the internet of people trying to negotiate their way around the puddle just off Jesmond Road West in Newcastle.
It was broadcast on the video app Periscope by staff at marketing company Drummond Central Ltd and quickly began trending on Twitter with the hashtag Drummondpuddlewatch.
But now it is no more as two engineers from Newcastle City Council, who were inspecting for flood damage, drained it away to clear the path.
A council spokesman said: "Two operatives from our structural engineering contractor were assigned to check the nearby subway following the heavy weather.
"As the path with the puddle is a busy route for cyclists and pedestrians, they thought they were being helpful by digging away a little bit of soil to clear the water - and were completely unaware of its celebrity status.
"Under normal circumstances we would all be very grateful to them for their initiative and helpfulness.
"Through the power of social media the puddle has provided a bit of fun for thousands of people - but with more rain forecast it was probably high time to pull the plug on its internet popularity."
There were also allegations that local Liberal Democrat councillors were to blame, with Labour council leader Nick Forbes tweeting last night: "Lib Dems have just demanded that the council removes #DrummondPuddleWatch immediately! Spoilsports!"
