The latest in a series of racial agit-props was reported in the Huffington Post and KRON4 and involves a story line that a white woman called the police on a black group at Lake Merritt in Oakland, California, for grilling in one of the park's designated barbecue zones using a charcoal grill instead of a "non-charcoal" grill.
The alleged "eyewitnesses" claim this increduous account,
At around 11:20 AM a white woman approached a black man named Deacon for having a BBQ grill at Lake Merritt today.
She told him he could not BBQ there and called the police. She would not leave Deacon alone. A young black woman was walking by overheard how the white woman was harassing him telling him he can not be there, she stopped and asked the woman to leave her alone. The white woman became aggressive with the woman. She started filming the woman's aggressive behavior and has told us it's up on Facebook (probably a live stream).
Shortly after that Deacon's friend Kenzie arrived. According to Kenzie, the woman said "Oh another nigger." She proceeded to tell all three of the people at the BBQ table that she owned the park, and they are not allowed there. She also said them they were going to jail.
The social media crowd fell for this staged hoax – hook, line and sinker. If you can stomach it, their sad commentary and observations about this racial agitprop go on and on here and in the linked Youtube video. Their gullibility knows no limit.
Apparently this video "went viral" and got 2.4 million views, which is suspect in and of itself. The first clip is for those without time or patience for the whole thing, but I added the full 25-minute long version just after it. In the second video, elements of the hoax are more fully revealed.

First off, non-Hispanic whites are a minority in Oakland, making up just 26% of the population. Blacks make up 28% of the population. Therefore, even presuming there really are racist white women comfortable living in the midst of this demographic and who actually feel "they own the place," they would be skirting the outer limits of Social Darwinism to exhibit the moxie to confront and disrupt eight to 10 blacks over something as ludicrous and trivial as a park BBQ. Adding to the incredulity of this tall tale: not only was WW badly outnumbered, but she addresses one of the black males as "another nigger" to boot.
Second, even though the woman called police and police talked to her and no doubt IDed her and took a report, for some inexplicable reason the name of the woman was never revealed. Not even the hundreds of thousands of outraged and impressionable wags and intrepid media have turned up her name. We will refer to her as "WW" (for white woman) in this post.
Third, even assuming WW is some archetypical outlier, and thought she could rouse a police response to this, would she just plant herself right on top of the black BBQers, and engage in a phone call that goes on and on, throughout the whole ludicrous 25 minutes? Why not just make a sneaky and safe call across the street?
Notice in the photo at right there is but one picnicker. However, as the camera rolls, the other actors are suddenly present in the background and WW is quite outnumbered. At minute 4:00 in the long version, the duping delight on the smug faces of the actors is palpable, yet WW still hangs around looking like a lump and a prop and still on her cell phone.
In fact, even after being challenged by the white woman, identified as Michelle Snider (MS) and a black woman one "Angela Williams," (AW), the unidentified WW doesn't budge until minute 13, when she finally and unconvincing acts hysterical, calling "better come quick, code 1" into the cell phone as MS bears down on her. Here is that stupid, badly choreographed scene between the two hoaxsters.
Long story short….it took another white woman to run the Angry White Woman off. No police ever showed up (while I was there) because they have real crimes to worry about. pic.twitter.com/0DgCf6h773

During the course of the performance, we learn (at 4:48) that for some inexplicable reason MS had earlier presented WW with her business card. This is not evident from the filming. The battle for the card becomes part of the ridiculous absurd script in the back twenty minutes of the song and dance performance.
WW is ultimately chased into a convenience store with MS right on top of her. This part of the operation comedy of MS and WW tangoing is also filmed and posted by Angela Williams.
So today I'm at Lake Merritt and minding my Black ass business. As I finish my jog (Let's be real, fast walk) I notice this white woman being really aggressive towards the Black Guy. I'm nosey so I stop to observe.
— #BlackLivesMatter (@ajwftw) April 29, 2018
Throughout the entire acting performance of nearly 25 minutes, WW does a non-stop monologue into the cell phone, never hangs up, even when MS is breathing down her neck. WW misses her lines on numerous occasions. She says little to the other performers and is finally photographed with fake tears speaking with police.
TNN Takeaway: An epic fail in the annuals of the growing list of agit-prop staged demonization deceptions. These media compliant shameless hoaxes go both ways — black on white and white on black, suggesting all races need to get their heads out of their asses about what is transpiring.
Editor Note: The woman playing WW looks very familiar. I suspect she has been involved in previous rodeos. Anybody place her?

It is a very intelligent phrase. Plato explains people form opinions primarily based on their knowledge. Folks's data directly reflects the information that was retained. Persons are ignorant, as a result of they do not know all the pieces they usually try to kind opinions. They are saying what they think, not what they know. Plato is appropriate, opinion is between data and ignorance.
With this quote, President Clinton appears to anticipate big changes forward, and the significance of preparing American youngsters for a future that will be lots different from that of their parents or grandparents. No surprise there. It might be during Clinton's tenure that a little bit factor called the Web would come along to rearrange the working of society and enterprise.
Graduating from college is a monumental occasion. It can solely be sufficiently celebrated with the customary greeting card. What more may a person who spent years of onerous work and hundreds of dollars ask for? Sure, there's the higher job, improve in pay, higher social standing, and respect. Do not let them fool you although. What they want most is a good card message from you. Listed below are some examples to help determine what to jot down.
What I need from my children' college is to assist me determine what they love, what their strengths are, after which assist them create their very own paths to mastery of their passions. Stop spending a lot time specializing in topics or courses that 'they want for faculty' but don't curiosity them within the least. Help them become learners who will be capable of find and make good use of the knowledge that they want after they want it, whether that means finding an answer on-line or taking a school course to deepen their understanding. And eventually, prepare them to create their very own credentials that may powerfully show their capabilities, passions and potentials.
Virtually all schooling has a political motive: it aims at strengthening some group, national or spiritual and even social, in the competitors with other teams. It's this motive, in the primary, which determines the subjects taught, the information provided and the data withheld, and in addition decides what psychological habits the pupils are anticipated to acquire. Hardly something is finished to foster the inward growth of mind and spirit; actually, those who have had probably the most education are very often atrophied in their psychological and spiritual life.

Poppy Appeal 2012
Many thanks to all those who collected, and gave money, to the Poppy Appeal in November. This year Capel raised £ 1,520.74 which is a fantastic achievement with the poor weather and the recession. The target was to raise £42 million across the country to help the RBL's work with those that served in the Forces, or are the dependant of someone who has served. In the UK around 9 million people are eligible for support and nearly £ 1.7m a week helping those in the greatest need. Stuart Cole

Scottsdale, Ariz. — The opening sales of the 2014 classic-car auction season, which took place here last week, often set the market direction for the year. This year's sales, according to a tally compiled by Hagerty, an insurer of vintage vehicles, totalled $249 million, up from $224 million in 2013 (2,815 lots sold, compared with 2,699 last year). The average sale was $107,096, up from $100,176 a year ago.
Here are the top 10 sales from the week, in descending price order (including buyer's premium), as well as two other sales that raised eyebrows:
■ 1958 Ferrari 250 GT California LWB Spider, $8.8 million (RM Auctions). No surprise here. Enzo-era Ferraris have been hot and California Spyders are among the sexiest of them.
■ 1958 Ferrari 250 GT Cabriolet, $6.2 million (Gooding & Company). Not quite as sexy as a California Spider and hence not quite as expensive. Sometimes the Ferrari market isn't exactly inscrutable.
■ 1997 McLaren F1 GTR Longtail Coupe, $5.3 million (Gooding). An extensive racing history, though not usable as a road car, it sold for less than a street F1 brought at Pebble Beach last year.
■ 1967 Chevrolet Corvette L88 Coupe, $3.9 million (Barrett-Jackson Auctions). Sold for more than the Rebel L88 Corvette racecar, which had a great competition history — this car had none — but it brought a top price because of the rarity of the C2 L88.
■ 1956 Ferrari 410 Superamerica SI Coupe, $3.3 million (Gooding). Rinse and repeat. Once again, the Enzo-era Ferrari market produces results. This one was a particularly rare and pretty closed car that was beautifully presented.
■ 1951 Ferrari 212 Export Coupe, $3.2 million (Bonhams). Early Ferraris are particularly rare but not that enjoyable to drive. That seemed to matter little in this sale.
■ 1931 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 Gran Sport Spider, $3.1 million (Bonhams). A lovely reminder of the era when Enzo Ferrari worked for Alfa Romeo, and Alfa was a force to be reckoned with at the highest levels of international motorsports.
■ 1969 Chevrolet Corvette #57 Rebel L88 Convertible, $2.9 million (Barrett-Jackson). A fantastic beast of a racing Corvette beautifully restored by one of the world's best Corvette shops.
■ 1961 Porsche 718 RS 61 Spyder, $2.8 million (RM). After the Ferrari market, the Porsche market might be the most superheated in the collector car world. This was arguably the most important Porsche offered in Scottsdale.
■ 1966 Ferrari 275 GTB/6C Coupe, $2.6 million (Bonhams). Possibly the ultimate front-engine V12 road-going Ferrari coupe of the 1960s. This was a rare 6-carburetor version.
■ Biggest Surprise: The 1971 Alfa Romeo Montreal that sold for $160,000 (Gooding). Always the bridesmaid and never the bride, the rare V8 Montreal might finally be getting the love it deserves. This was fully double its low estimate.
■ Biggest Disappointment: The Mongoose and Snake Funny Cars and transporters (Barrett-Jackson). These drag race cars made for what was possibly the coolest display of hardware ever seen at auction. They deserved to sell on the auction block, but bidding stalled. A deal was cut for just under $1 million after the auction.

The company has been able to maintain leadership position in six out of the seven passenger car segments, holding more than 40% market share in big cities. About six months ago, the stock was under pressure amid appreciating yen against the dollar thereby increasing operating cost for the company.
Over one-fifth of the company's cost was linked with the foreign currency back then.This has fallen to 14% after the company started procuring components for new car launches including Baleno and Brezza, and by paying the royalty on Brezza in the rupees. It also plans to export 50,000 Balenos in the current fiscal in yen terms.
This will further reduce the impact of forex on earnings. The rising proportion of petrol driven cars will help in improving the utilisation of the production facility thereby supporting operating profitability. Analysts expect operating margin to be around 16% for the next two fiscals.
This may be upgraded in the coming months. According to Kotak Institutional Equities, on account of the recently launched products and strong product pipeline, the company will gain market share by 320 basis points by FY2020. Given the expected earnings growth of over 25% for the next three years, Maruti's stock may continue to attract investors.

Finer Values for the Perfect Energy Restoration
Diabetes mellitus ("sweet disease") is a group of pathological conditions in which metabolic disorders occur. The result is high blood sugar levels called hyperglycemia.

This type of disease is characteristic only for pregnant women. The mechanism of disease development is similar to type 2 diabetes mellitus, but not only the factors mentioned above, but also a change in the hormonal background in the body of the pregnant woman are involved.
It is important! The disease disappears after the birth of the baby. In rare cases, the pathology may become non-insulin-dependent diabetes.
Features exercise therapy
Physiotherapy is a series of exercises aimed at treating and rehabilitating patients and preventing the development of pathological conditions. In order to make the exercise more effective, specialists are not only developing a scheme for exercise therapy for a particular clinical case, but are also using the following methods:

Best Way to Make Money with CBD
Figures on the cannabidiol (CBD) industry suggest that it is one of the fastest growing industries in America.
The Brightfield Group, a company that provides insight for the CBD and cannabis market, projected that the industry would have hit $591 million by the end of 2018.
They further projected that the CBD market alone could hit $22 billion by 2022. The cannabis industry is set to reach $20 billion by 2020.
These are astronomical sums. The increase in growth rate of the industry over the years can be attributed to the rise in the number of CBD products available and concrete research by scientists that vividly outline the benefits of the CBD products.
A vote of confidence in the product by medical practitioners has also boosted the public's trust of these products.
In December 2018, a bill that allows farmers to grow hemp like any other agricultural product was passed. CBD is extracted from hemp.
This move cemented the status of CBD products and effectively removed the legal impediments to the growth of the CBD industry.
The combination of data to support the growth projections and a general feel-good-factor in the industry has generated a lot of buzz in the industry.
If this information is enticing enough to make you want to join the CBD industry, consider these money-making methods:
- Producing and Selling CBD Products
CBD products can be used to treat acne, muscle spasms, anxiety, depression, and lower the chances of developing heart complications.
Anxiety and depression are signs of mental health problems. There has been a lot of talk about mental health in recent times. The discussion has centered on removing the stigma around mental health problems.
You could join the conversation to end the stigma around it but also provide solutions to anxiety and depression in the form of CBD products.
CBD consumer sales are projected to reach $3 billion by 2021; it is a worthy investment.
- Consulting with CBD Businesses
There are many opportunities in the CBD industry. The relaxation of laws on hemp growing should see an influx of investors in the industry.
However, many of these investors do not have enough information about the business. A CBD consultant can be extremely helpful in such instances.
Many investors would pay top dollar to get the services of a CBD consultant.
The consultant can guide the investors in running the business and marketing the products to achieve maximum profits.
- Joining Affiliate Programs
This is one, if not, the best option on this list. This is because it is a low-risk option that can give back high returns. More so, the joining process is straightforward and many CBD affiliate programs are offering different benefits.
The majority of affiliate programs have almost similar processes of joining. First, you sign up using your name and email. Second, the company sends you a link that you can use to create your own links. Third, you share the links you created. Lastly, you earn a commission when someone buys a CBD product using the link that you posted.
While the joining process can be similar, these companies differ a lot when it comes to the specific details of the affiliate program. It is imperative that you join an affiliate program that will reward all your marketing efforts well.
How do you select the best affiliate CBD program?
The following should be your guiding principles when searching for a CBD affiliate program:
a) The Product's Quality
The quality of a CBD product depends on the quality of the hemp it was extracted from. Hemp can absorb toxicity in the ground and pesticides used on the farm. This will lead to a situation where the CBD has harmful effects on the users.
A good CBD company is one that grows its hemp in controlled environments. This ensures that the end product is of the high quality. Obviously, quality products are always on high demand; and that good for business.
b) The Commission Offered
You have probably spent years curating content that has gained you followers from different parts of the globe.
You do not want to exchange all that effort for a commission that will not make an impact in your financial life. A commission of up between 20 to 30% on every product should be the standard.
c) Company Support
The CBD Company should have a transparent affiliate system where you access all your affiliate marketing data any time you want.
Trust is a fundamental aspect of affiliate programs. To produce your best marketing efforts, you need to know that there is no chance of being conned out your hard-earned money.
d) The Credibility of the Company
Ponzi schemes are rampant in today's world. New companies like to offer high commissions knowing full well that they will not pay those commissions.
Established companies that have built their credibility over the years take excellent care of their corporate image. Any issue raised is quickly investigated, and the relevant authority held accountable.
It goes without saying; an excellent CBD affiliate program is one that meets all the above qualities.
- Selling CBD Accessories
Vaporizers in the form of pens, rechargeable vaporizer, and CBD phone cases are just some of the accessories that you can sell to people.
Personalized items make people feel special. With a growing market for CBD, you can be sure to find a market for CBD accessories.
- Producing Edibles
Edibles are an excellent alternative for people who do not want to be seen vaping. They come in the form of cookies, cakes, brownies, and chocolate bars. Specializing on selling such CBD edibles can be very lucrative.
Having multiple income streams is fast becoming the dominant way of guaranteeing financial freedom for many people. The first step to setting yourself up for financial greatness can be as simple as checking out the different CBD business ventures and affiliate programs available.
Metformin generic vs brand name
What is metformin HCL? Generic Metformin HCL is a drug which is used for patients with high blood sugar levels. Of course, treatment of this ailment also involves other practices like; taking the right diet, the proper exercise and taking other supporting medications to support high blood sugar. A patient with type 2 diabetes majorly uses it. Though there is no permanent cure to the ailment, metformin HCl acts as a control mechanism of the ailment. It is important to control high blood sugar levels in that it helps prevent escalated complications such as kidney damage, nerve problems, sexual functions problems, or even blindness.
Metformin HCL is a generic product, but what does that exactly mean? Generic products might not be popular because they are not the first of their kind with that chemical composition. Therefore, a generic product is a drug that has the same chemical composition as the original drug. Eventually, we have a drug that has the same function and effectiveness as its original brand. Generic metformin HCL is in no way fake or degraded in quality. There are only two differences between a generic and its original counterpart which is; the name and the price. Generic drugs Metformin HCL are far cheaper than their original counterpart.
Metformin HCL comes as both an oral tablet and a solution. For the tablet, its parent drug is called Glucophage (immediate brand release) while the extended versions have the parent names Glucophage XR or Glutmetza. Its generic counterpart may come as the commonly known generic metformin Janumet. The FDA approves the use of generic drugs after verifying it's of the same chemical composition of its parent brand.
Not in any way different from its parent brand (Glucophage). It belongs to the biguanides class of drugs. Drugs in this group work similarly and are used to control similar ailments.
There are three significant activities metformin generic carries out in the body;
– Reducing the rate at which your liver produces glucose
– Increasing insulin activities on your body (Insulin is the hormone that helps remove sugar from your blood) thereby reducing the blood sugar level.
– Decreasing the amount of glucose absorbed by your body.
With these actions above, it is evident that the significant action of the generic metformin Janumet is to reduce the blood sugar level of a diabetes patient and must be accompanied with other safe practices as advised by the doctor.
It is highly advised to use Metformin HCL drug under the supervision of your medical practitioner. This should be done because the side effects of the Metformin may vary per patient, for some, it might bring some mild effects like; heartburn, gas, diarrhea or nausea. While for others the side effects may be more serious like; tiredness, slight muscle pain, weakness, slow or irregular heart rate. If yours is serious, it is advised you seek quick medical counsel.

The town goes back to the 7th century under the Longobards, even though its most ancient roots date back to Etruscan and Roman times. Its ancient city walls date back instead to the 1300s.
The historic center contains some 21 churches plus its main cathedral. The main square and with the city hall's large palazzo is where the town's yearly Blues Festival takes place, one of Italy's most famous musical events. For more info see: http://pistoiablues.com
The town must certainly come alive in July with its month-long festival. And only some 30 kms away is the small town called Collodi, the town that gave the world Pinocchio. The main villa there and its massive garden is quite interesting, ditto for the butterfly collection (live ones too!).

Episode # 66: The Door & A Bronx Tale…in Edison!?
"Nows you can't leave" I was a freshman in college and had creative writing. I seriously fell in love with the class and never knew how much I LOVED writing until I as given free reign to write about anything I wanted to. My Professor's name was Tony, he never told us his last name. Watching the movie, 'A Bronx Tale' was a homework assignment, and then we had to write a reaction paper to it. The movie floored me. I used the door test on every girl I met from age 18 until the last … [Read more...]
Blasting the Iron with Passion!
The gym is the place where I lose myself and find myself. If I can start or finish my day in the gym, it's a way to know I did what others dared not do. I want to train and get after it when I'm in there alone. No excuses, No interruptions, No phone... NO bull shit. No matter what else is going on in this world and in my life, when I'm in the gym, everything goes right. Rusty iron feels best in my hands. Sandbags and stones show love as well. Time to attack training and … [Read more...]
Underground Strength Show # 62 & 63: Rusty Iron, NO Rules Workouts & Mental Toughness
Training doesn't have to be perfect for it to work. Often times, the imperfections are better because they train the mind AND the body as one. They force you to cope with the "resistance" that is more than just the weights. My methods are NOT perfect, they have flaws, but guess what, so does every program. The flaws are beautiful. The challenges are to be wished for. Be grateful for the tough times for anything worth achieving is worth fighting for. Sometimes you just gotta attack your … [Read more...]

Underground Strength Training in Germany!
Wow, check out fellow Undergrounder, Dominik Feischl, killing it in his backyard where he has one heck of an Underground set up.

Do you quit when the going gets tough? Do you let the naysayers bring you down and tell you how bad the economy is?

I don't need no stinkin' gym!
Today I headed to the playground to kill it an OLD monkey bar type gym. And although I own a gym, I still prefer the outdoors. If I lived in a year round warm weather area, my gym would be constructed with no roof and all outdoor training, very much like the weight pit (the old one) at Muscle Beach where Arnold used to kill it.

Home exchange is a revolutionary way to travel.
Thanks to home exchange:
- Discover a new way to travel
Forget the steep costs and stressful budgets, forget the impersonal hotel rooms: with HomeExchange you will be living like a local in unique homes. Home exchange will allow you to make memorable encounters and create relations based on trust.
- Go on reciprocal or non reciprocal exchanges thanks to the "GuestPoints" system
The GuestPoints were created to resolve the following problem: imagine that people who live in Germany would like to come to your home, but you wish to go to Italy. Without GuestPoints, a simple reciprocal exchange would be impossible. With the GuestPoints, the German travelers will be able to come to your home in exchange for GuestPoints that you can use to travel to Italy.
Thanks to this system you can organise two types of exchanges on HomeExchange:
- I host the person whose home I am staying in: this is a reciprocal exchange because I am both a guest and a host
- The person whose home I am staying in is not interested in coming to my home, in which case I give my host a certain amount of GuestPoints per night. This amount is determined by the site. This is therefore a non reciprocal exchange because I can either be a guest OR a host thanks to the GuestPoint system.
The value of a home's GuestPoints per night is different for each home. It is automatically calculated by the website's algorithm and depends on several factors: the size, location, the amount of bedrooms/beds,...
- Benefit from the world's largest home exchange network with the most destinations
As the world leader in home exchange, HomeExchange grants you access to over 300,000 homes across the world. Whether you want to travel in France, to Paris, Corsica, or Aquitaine, ... or to other countries around the world such as Spain, Canada, Bali ... we are present in over 180 countries and will always find a home that matches your search.
- Try out our services
Thanks to the site's GuestPoint algorithm, the platform will calculate the amount of GuestPoints needed for the exchanges you organize. In order to allow you to test our services HomeExchange awards you 1250 GuestPoints as soon as you've created your account. Discover where your travels can take you withe the GuestPoints offered to you upon signing up.
Then, the more you host in your home the more GuestPoints you have to travel with.
- Security: travel in peace. As the world leader in home exchange, we offer you a dedicated team that is equipped to accompany and assist you before, during, and after your exchange. Do not hesitate to contact us.
We also offer our members the option to become verified: our team can verify the addresses of the members on the site. Once your profile has been verified you may choose to only host other verified members.
Furthermore, each host and guest is rated which allows you to have more information regarding members on the site.
Lastly, you can chat with other members and come to agreements together prior to finalizing your exchanges. All your confidential information is protected.
What's more, home exchange provides a way for you to make sure your space and belongings are being looked after while you are away.
- We are truly a social network: this system helps you organize exchanges with members you are similar to you, allowing you to travel and exchange in total confidence.
All members have friends and can thus exchange with friends of friends, or even friends of friends of friends…. It is so much easier to have confidence in a person with whom we share an acquaintance!
Groups are open communities created around different lifestyle. It facilitates your exchange and overall travel experiences! This way those who require wheelchairs will travel with the assurance of having an accessible home, gardening lovers can discover beautiful gardens and perhaps gather a few clippings, and those who love to read can find themselves in a home with a big library!

Traffic Control Log Books - 2017 Update
In 2016 ACNM was approached by members of NMDOT with suggested updates to the Traffic Control Log Books. The suggestions for improvement were based on common issues encountered from completed traffic control diaries, and were given in the interest of addressing language that could reduce errors in filling out the document.
ACNM took the next step by forming a panel with representatives from NMDOT, ACNM staff, barricade companies, and ACNM contractor members. Revisions to the original suggestions were made by the panel, and a proposed draft was given to the ACNM Executive Director, the Traffic Control Master Instructor, and the Acting State Construction Engineer. After incorporating their input, a final draft was created, and sent to the printer for estimates.
The result is a streamlined document that contains the same information from the old traffic control diary, but with clearly defined boundaries and improved grouping of subject areas. While the look is dramatically different, all the parts of the original are still there, and the use of order and grouping organize the document into a logical format. (Please see the attached JPG versions of the revised Traffic Control Diary for reference).
The revised Traffic Control Log Books will be available beginning July 1, 2017, set to coincide with the start of the state fiscal year. Printing costs have increased slightly, so the new book will reflect this price increase by going from $25.00/book to $30.00/book. (This is the first jump in over 5 years, and is reflective only of the additional cost to produce the new books).
The old Traffic Control Log Books currently in circulation will still be valid, and shall remain in use until they have been phased out of circulation. If you still have any of the books in the old format, please continue to use them until they are gone.
ACNM will be posting a presentation on our website to address questions about any of the 7 sections on the new form.

text: By Finley In Mathematical Biology 13/04/2018 0 Traits Of All Sunsigns By Linda Goodman Mathematical and computational strategies are very important to many areas of up to date organic analysis, akin to genomics, molecular modeling, structural biology, ecology, evolutionary biology, neurobiology, and systems biology. The eukaryotic cell cycle could be very advanced and is one of the most studied topics, since its misregulation leads to cancers It's presumably a good example of a mathematical mannequin as it deals with easy calculus but provides legitimate results. This module supplies an introduction for Stage 2 students to numerous matters in Discrete Arithmetic. From the applying aspect, he's interested in cancer biology, mechanobiology, and the dynamic interaction of cells and their microenvironment. A system of differential equations will be represented as a vector subject , where every vector described the change (in focus of two or extra protein) figuring out the place and how briskly the trajectory (simulation) is heading. Our course provides a novel blend of contemporary mathematics applied to essential biological processes. Different models for movement (e.g. diffusion, convection, directed motion). The University of Dundee has been given a Gold award – the very best potential rating – within the 2017 Educating Excellence Framework (TEF). Students taking this module should have achieved a cross mark in the module MA32009, or in MA41002, or equal. This module could optionally be taken by students on the MMath in Arithmetic, or the MSci in Mathematical Biology or Arithmetic and Physics levels. As a result of large diversity of specific data concerned, biomathematical analysis is usually accomplished in collaboration between mathematicians , biomathematicians, theoretical biologists , bioinformaticians , biostatisticians , physicists , biophysicists , biochemists , bioengineers , engineers, biologists, physiologists , analysis physicians , biomedical researchers, oncologists , molecular biologists , geneticists , embryologists , zoologists , chemists , etc. #traits, Share

Top 5 myths about the lean startup
– Eric Ries is a serial entrepreneur and author of the entrepreneurship blog Startup Lessons Learned. The original version of this blog was posted here. The opinions expressed are his own. –
Most phenomenal startup teams create businesses that ultimately fail.
Why? They built something that nobody wanted. That sounds like a beginner's mistake, but in the conditions of extreme uncertainty under which entrepreneurs operate, it's challenging to innovate and find a market, to take risks and mitigate risk.
Almost two years ago, I left my operating role as the co-founder of a startup, out of an interest to help the entrepreneurship industry develop a more effective, data-driven way of building companies. During that time, I've worked with hundreds of entrepreneurs around the world and created a methodology for innovation now known as The Lean Startup.
The Lean Startup has evolved into a movement that is having a significant impact on how companies are built, funded and scaled. As with any new idea, with popularity comes misinterpretation.
Here are the top five myths about The Lean Startup, and the truth behind each misconception:
Myth 1: Lean means cheap. Lean startups try to spend as little money as possible.
The reality is the Lean Startup method is not about cost, it is about speed. Lean startups waste less money, because they use a disciplined approach to testing new products and ideas. Lean, when used in the context of lean startup, refers to a process of building companies and products based on lean manufacturing principles, but applied to innovation. That process involves rapid hypothesis testing, learning about customers, and a disciplined approach to product development.
Myth 2: The Lean Startup methodology is only for Web 2.0, Internet and consumer software companies
Actually, the Lean Startup methodology applies to all companies that face uncertainty about what customers will want. This is true regardless of industry or even scale of company: many established companies depend on their ability to create disruptive innovation. Those general managers are entrepreneurs, too. And they can benefit from increased speed and discipline.
Myth 3: Lean Startups are bootstrapped startups
There's nothing wrong with raising venture capital. Many lean startups are ambitious and are able to deploy large amounts of capital. What differentiates them is their disciplined approach to determining when to spend money: after the fundamental elements of the business model have been empirically validated. Because lean startups focus on validating their riskiest assumptions first, they sometimes charge money for their product from day one – but not always.
Myth 4: Lean Startups are very small companies
This focus on size also obscures another truth: that many entrepreneurs live inside of much larger organizations. As I've written elsewhere, I believe the proper definition of a startup is: a human institution creating a new product or service under conditions of extreme uncertainty. In other words, any organization striving to create disruptive innovation is a startup, whether they know it or not. Established companies have as much to gain from lean startup techniques as the mythical "two guys in a garage" (and, as I've witnessed in my consulting practice, sometimes even more).
Myth 5: Lean Startups replace vision with data or customer feedback
Truth: Lean startups are driven by a compelling vision, and they are rigorous about testing each element of this vision against reality. They use customer development, split-testing, and in-depth analytics as vehicles for learning about how to make their vision successful. Along the way, they pivot away from the elements of the vision that are delusional and double down on the elements that show promise.
The old model of entrepreneurship was dominated by an over-emphasis on the magical powers of startup founders. Usually, the stories we hear about successful startups describe a brilliant visionary, fighting valiantly against the odds to create a new reality. As employees gradually fall under his or her spell, they execute his or her master plan, which leads, in the end, to world domination.
Anyone who has spent time around real startup successes knows this story is usually wildly untrue. Founders benefit from historical revisionism and survivor's bias: we rarely hear the stories of the thousands of visionaries who failed utterly.
The Lean Startup moves our industry past this mythological entrepreneurship story and towards a methodology that is more scientifically grounded and accessible.
People who are truly committed to a vision of changing the world in a significant way can't afford the luxury of staying in that cozy, comfortable place of building in stealth mode without outside feedback. If you really believe your vision needs to become a reality, you owe it to yourself to test that vision with every tool available.

This approach is a great way to go, not new really, I wrote a column on Faling Fast which was about testing performance against KPI's concurrent with the beginning of alpha or when possible, actual sales.
Taking the money you need is another thing that people have learned, both out of need but also restraint.
Don't forget that ten years ago Internet CEO's were in the news for crazy behavior before the bankers came along and showed them how insane greed really works.
[…] Truth: Lean startups are driven by a compelling vision, and they are rigorous about testing each element of this vision against reality. They use customer development, split-testing, and in-depth analytics as vehicles for learning about how to make their vision successful. Along the way, they pivot away from the elements of the vision that are delusional and double down on the elements that show promise. via blogs.reuters.com […]
I agree that speed is very important in today's world of Web 2.0.Today's new business plan is history unless start ups execute immediately. What's also very important for any start up is to be able to be able to plan and to manage their cash flow. In order to stay lean business must be able to monitor their profitability and cash flow from inception in real time. Otherwise they will loose the ability to quickly navigate as circumstances change.
Sandor Lenner
One more myth to add-Lean startups rely on feedback from surveys,questionnaires and analytics to make informed decisions on their assumptions about customer development. This is a good start, getting out from behind you computer and talking to real people will reward you with unresolved problems you may not of thought of to help you get to a product-market fit sooner.

Tracy reshuffles Rockies rotation, but Cook stays
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Aaron Cook will get a chance to work out his problems in the Rockies' rotation, not the bullpen.
Manager Jim Tracy has reshuffled the deck in his rotation, but the five starters, including Cook, will remain. Ubaldo Jimenez will get the first start after the all-star break vs. Milwaukee, followed by Juan Nicasio, Jhoulys Chacin, Cook and Jason Hammel.
Cook had preceded Nicasio in the rotation since returning from a broken finger sustained during spring training. But Tracy decided he needed to separate the two, given the strain their short starts had put on the bullpen.
"With where Aaron has been of late, splitting those guys up a little bit so that we're not involved with taxing our bullpen … you have to be mindful of that,'' said Tracy. "In the course of a two-day span, you don't want to blow up your bullpen.''
Said Tracy, when asked about Cook's ineffectiveness (0-4, 5.82 in six starts): Where he's at is he needs to get the ball down. The sinker can't go side to side across the plate. It has to go down toward the plate. That's the big thing here.''
Clearly, Cook is on notice, with Tracy saying that Triple A starters such as Greg Reynolds and Clayton Mortensen could join the rotation "within the matter of a phone call.''
"I'm not sitting here having a conversation with you guys with the suggestion being that we're trying to run Aaron Cook out of the rotation,'' said Tracy. "But I think Aaron Cook also realizes the fact that he has to pitch better. It's that simple.''

SAULT STE. MARIE - It was a weekend to forget for the London Knights with back to back road defeats marked by the surrender of six goals in each contest.
OHL: Soo Greyhounds closing in on leading London Knights
SAULT STE. MARIE — It was a weekend to forget for the London Knights with back to back road defeats marked by the surrender of six goals in each contest.
And just like that, the OHL's Western Conference race has suddenly grown very tight.
Two weekend wins for the Soo has the Hounds within striking distance.
Cole MacKay registered his first career hat trick and Matt Villalta shone in goal as the Greyhounds defeated the Knights 6-3 Sunday before 4,381 at GFL Memorial Gardens.
The victory moved the Soo (35-12-5-1), leaders of the OHL's West Division, to within four points of the Knights (37-9-5-1), who hold top spot in the Midwest Division, in the conference standings.
London, which has now lost 11 straight to the Hounds — that's right, 11 — also has a game in hand.
The Knights seven game winning streak was snapped by a 6-3 loss to the Spirit in Saginaw on Saturday.
Knights goalie Joseph Raaymakers called the Knights road trip "disappointing," but spoke of how ups and downs are a part of the game.
"We weren't great (Sunday)," he added. "We haven't been playing our best. We need to find our stride again."
Head coach Dale Hunter said the difference in the game was missed scoring chances.
"We had opportunities, but we didn't score," he added. "Villalta (Soo goalie Matt) was solid, but we played well."
Hunter also didn't think his team's schedule was a factor on Sunday.
Of playing three times in three days, he said: "Everybody goes through it."
MacKay spoke of the importance of home ice advantage, a prized perk that goes to the Western Conference's top seed.
Adam Boqvist finished with a goal and two assists for the Knights Sunday while Liam Foudy and Kevin Hancock had the other goals.
Hancock Foudy and Alex Regula scored in Saturday's loss in Saginaw while Jordan Kooy took the loss in net. The Knights outshot the Spirit 58-49, including 32-15 in the third period.

Athens, Greece (CNN) -- Greek police arrested an 18-year-old suspected of having hacked into the electronic systems of the FBI and Interpol, they announced Wednesday.
He reportedly also took over the computers of unsuspecting users, accessed their data and used it to obtain new credit cards in their names. A raid on his home turned up over 120 credit cards and thousands of euros in cash, police said.
He faces charges of computer fraud, forgery, illegal violation of privacy, and illegal weapons possession.
The teen, who was not named, was arrested at his home in Athens, according to the Greek police electronic crime squad.
They seized computers and related equipment as well as flares, shotgun cartridges and a homemade incendiary device, they said.
Greek police said they had been seeking the youth for two years, after attacks that took place in February 2008 and February 2009.
U.S. and French authorities cooperated with the investigation, they said.

Your article, "Ten Strategies to Extinguish Potentially Explosive Behavior" (August 2011), inspired me to respond. As a nurse leader, I attempt to take every precaution to keep my caregivers safe from workplace violence.
This article lists 10 approaches to keep nurses and others safe. These are good strategies to help bring more awareness to direct care nurses. However, I was a little surprised that the article didn't encourage staff to speak up and report incidents of violence. Reporting each incident of violence to the leadership team will help them understand how much violence occurs and how often. Taking a zero-tolerance approach should be the standard, but reporting is essential to tell us if the strategies and polices for workplace violence are effective.

Many nurses can now join the Harvard Medical School's Nurses Health Study 3. This influential women's health study is seeking nurses who are female between ages 22 and 45. To join the study or get more information, go to http://www.NHS3.org. Then tell your colleagues about the study!!
Mooresville, Ind.
I'd like to add my voice to those who've written to oppose mandatory BSN degrees for nurses. Looking at this discussion, I find myself asking: What's the nursing profession afraid of? There's nothing to fear if we continue our high standards academically and ethically-not if we continue to offer care from the heart. Why aren't we confident enough in our own strengths to appreciate what other healthcare professionals have to contribute?
Nursing care becomes increasingly complex with each passing year. To give the best possible patient care, we need BSNs, ADNs, and LPNs. Instead of trying to eliminate a segment of our profession that's sorely needed, we could better use our energy to define each level and then provide the means to help those who are motivated to pursue graduate studies to provide the best possible healthcare for our patients.
Roanoke, Va.
I totally agree with Deb Cantlin ("Nurses Must Define Nursing," Letters, July 2011), who said that "we need more master's- and PhD-prepared nurses as well as BSNs." I wish she'd also mentioned the doctorate of nursing practice (DNP), now the fastest-growing doctorate in nursing. I believe that DNPs are in the forefront of healthcare and changes that DNPs implement benefit patients and improve quality of nursing care.

Later tonight, the Yankees will trot out their lineup heavy on right-handed bats vs. Tampa's David Price. Robinson Cano and Nick Johnson, two lefties who can handle southpaws will play, but Marcus Thames will sub for Brett Gardner. Meanwhile, at the bottom of the order will be Curtis Granderson, the Yanks' center fielder who struggles against lefties. For the last few seasons, Granderson hasn't done well against lefties, and today, Moshe Mandel at The Yankee U posits that this trend could change. Granderson, he discovered had adjusted where he positions his hands, and a few scouts think this new handset will prevent him from flying open against lefties. As the game unfolds tonight, keep an eye on Granderson's ABs against Price. Perhaps there's something to this after all.
Addendum: In other Curtis Granderson news, after the home run against Jonathan Papelbon on Wednesday night, John Sterling apparently started singing "The Grandy Man Can" to the tune of "The Candy Man Can" from the original movie version of Willie Wonka & The Chocolate Factory. The good folks at It Is High, It Is Far, It Is….Caught captured this one and juxtaposed it with Sammy Davis Jr.'s version of the song. It's a must-listen 45-second clip.

U.S. Industrial Market Starts 2017 on a Positive Note
JLL released the U.S. Industrial Outlook for Q1 2017, and the market started the year on a positive note.
Highlights for New Jersey Industrial:
- The "new normal" for industrial rental rates has left many tenants with a feeling of sticker shock.
- Vacancy rates in primary sub-markets reached new historic lows, and in some cases stand below 2.0 percent.
- Despite the recent surge in rental rates for Northern and Central New Jersey, leasing velocity for new space remained strong.
New Jersey Industrial Outlook:
The growing need for retailers to locate industrial facilities near major population centers has driven Northern and Central New Jersey's industrial market to historic levels. With many retailers and parcel service companies still building out their last mile networks, we expect demand for industrial space near the NY metro area to remain robust. This demand will further extend the length of the present industrial market expansion, and as a result, the current imbalance between supply and demand is expected to hold constant over the short to mid term.
U.S. Outlook-Three things to keep an eye on in the coming months:
- U.S. Industrial rents continue to rise: The resounding strength of industrial tenant demand couples with the tightest fundamentals yet experienced in the sector continued to drive the sixth consecutive year of rent growth.
- Logistics and distribution and 3PL dominate leasing: Responding to healthy consumer spending and growing e-commerce sales, the combined logistics and distribution and 3PL sectors committed to 24% of total leasing activity.
- 2017 expected to be another year for construction: The construction pipeline continues to grow, led by a 29% increase of construction activity of build-to-suit properties (up from the fourth quarter).

Last week a survey by UK polling agency won the prize for the most stupid question in an opinion poll:
Do you think Jesus would support or oppose renationalising the railways, so they are run in the public sector rather than by private companies?
It's unlikely Jesus would have held a view, given that public transport had not been invented. But as one wit pointed out on Twitter: 'He arrived by Virgin'! Click to continue »

For various reasons, I have demonstrated a great deal of inconsistency over the course of my life. Therefore, I was pleased to discover that the New Message from God has some specific, practical counsel for me, an antidote for inconsistency, as it were. It is in the form of the revelation "Building the Four Pillars of Your Life," which can be reached from the page "Experience the New Message from God." This revelation was received in September of 2008. A fellow student shared it with me in the summer of 2010. I mentioned this teaching about a year and a half ago in sharing my experience of the 2012 Encampment. I am now feeling an inclination to share this with you in greater detail.
An antidote for inconsistency
Your life has four pillars; health, relationships, work/providership, and spiritual development. You need to build all of them. They need to be balanced with each other.
Most people are preoccupied with one of these pillars. Chances are good you know someone who is falling short of their opportunities in life. Chances are good they are falling short because of neglect of one or more of these pillars. Chances are good you know someone who is experiencing difficulty in life, because of imbalance between these four pillars. Their life is a wobbly, unbalanced table, unready for unexpected change or opportunity.
The weakest pillar has an eroding influence upon the stronger pillars. Thus, a person is as strong as their weakest pillar.
Some people are very interested in the possibility that they have a mission in life to fulfill. Some of these people are unwilling, for whatever reason, to do the necessary preparation to engage with that mission. A lot of the preparation activities are relatively mundane, like exercising, like showing up on time at work, like offering gratitude to someone who is nice to you.
Spiritual teachers who offer you abundance or enlightenment or fulfillment or spiritual powers, without telling you the necessity of building a foundation, are selling knowledge without difficulties, truth without falsehood, attainment without effort, and progress without sacrifice. Chances are good you know such teachers. Chances are good these teachers themselves experience neglect or imbalance in the aforementioned pillars.
This teaching could be considered as an antidote for inconsistency, an antidote for unbalanced, inharmonious action and engagement.
Some people look at this task of building the four pillars in such a way that they are strong, tall and balanced, and think "Whoa! That sounds like a lot of work!" It is indeed, but it is also the price of admission for a successful life of greater purpose. What is the metric of success?
"What is success? Success is the ability to experience and express the greater purpose that has brought you into the world, a greater purpose that will require strong relationships, a greater purpose that will require that you are stable and that you can adapt to changing circumstances in the world, a greater purpose that will require that you have a deep connection to the greater Knowledge that God has placed within you, to guide you and to protect you and to lead you to your greater life."
It is my aspiration to build the four pillars of my life, strong, tall and balanced. I am pleased to take my medicine. I am pleased that there is an antidote for inconsistency.
