Diabetes drug discovery promises targeted treatment for the future
Australian and Canadian researchers have unlocked the secret of a drug used to treat type 2 diabetes.
Metformin has been used for more than 50 years, but until now little has been known about how it actually works at a molecular level.
Previously, researchers assumed the drug directly reduced blood-sugar levels, but now they have discovered that in fact it reduces harmful fat molecules in the liver.
"It's now given us a road map that we didn't have before in terms of a molecular understanding," Professor Bruce Kemp of St Vincent's Institute in Victoria said.
Now that researchers have unlocked the secrets of Metformin, it will enable doctors to directly target the condition.
Type 2 diabetes affects an estimated half a million Australians and an estimated 100 million around the world.
Those with the disorder are unable to convert the sugar in their blood into energy due to low levels of insulin, leaving them with high blood-sugar levels.
Metformin could also have important applications beyond diabetes.
"There's a lot of interest in Metformin as a potential therapeutic drug used in cancer," Professor Kemp said.
"There are a number of laboratories in the world, including the National Institute of Health laboratory, the aging laboratory in Baltimore, where they're analysing the effects of Metformin on aging.
"Low doses have been shown to extend the lives of mice."

WTO meeting cancelled after protests
Original Publication Date:
23 April, 2006
Peter Hall-Jones, PSI Communications
WTO Director General Pascal Lamy has cancelled a 'mini ministerial' meeting which was intended to finalise negotiations in the controversial trade round. The meeting would have excluded most countries from the developing world, and was cancelled following angry protests from developing countries, NGOs and trade unions.
'Developed countries only have themselves to blame for this cancellation,' said Mike Waghorne, Assistant General Secretary of Public Services International (PSI), the global federation for public service trade unions. 'The speed and agenda of these negotiations has been rushed to suit the US President, who may soon lose his freedom to negotiate an agreement,' said Waghorne. He was referring to the expiry in 2007 of President Bush

- Description
The Gretsch G5422TG-12 12-String Electromatic Hollowbody Guitar with Gold hardware delivers the sumptuous style and sophistication of the G5422 in a 12-string model. Delivering the lush tonal complexity of a hollowbody with the classic chime and jangle that comes with the increased string count, Gretsch has created a breath-taking model that is equally at home in the studio and on the stage. Packed with a pair of Blacktop Filter'Tron pickups, you can play the mesmerising timbre of the G5422TG-12 via an amplifier without making any compromise with regard to timbre.
Bound thinline double-cutaway body
The body has been shaped to that of a thinline hollowbody profile, which marries comfortability and tonal versatility beautifully. The 5-ply maple tonewood works harmoniously with the body profile to generate a confident midrange energy that has a softly rounded low end and sparkling brilliance across the upper frequencies.As well as ensuring the timbre of the G5422TG-12 is second to none, the team at Gretsch have gone to great lengths to resurrect the vintage aesthetic of their historic models, whilst appointing modern touches to maintain a solid and stable playing feel. The body top incorporates stylish over-sized bound f-holes, which allow the timbre to ease through for a smooth yet subtle acoustic projection. The top is bound to offer protection to the edges and complement the finish. Protection is offered to the paintwork in the form of a slender yet resilient gloss finish. A gold plexi pickguard, complete with black Gretsch logo, resides just beneath the pickups to prevent unwanted nicks and scrapes from affecting the lower bout.
Gloss-finished maple neck
Joined to the body is a fast-playing, gloss-finished maple neck, which is shaped to a "U"-shape profile to create a comfortable feel in the hand. Paired with the neck is a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard, which has been bound to guarantee seamless transitions between frets that are adorned with pearloid hump-block position inlays. The 12-inch fingerboard radius makes executing string bends are breeze, whilst the double-cutaway body profile means that each and every fret is within easy reach.
Gig-ready hardware
At the top of the neck you'll find a Graph Tech nubone nut, which works in partnership with the vintage-style open-back tuning machines to stabilise string tension and tuning integrity. Connected to the body is a smaller late-'50s G6120 bound headstock, which proudly shows off a white Gretsch logo. Fitted to the G5422TG-12 is an adjusto-matic bridge with a secured rosewood-base, which is paired with a Gretshc G-Cutout tailpiece. The hardware creates a seamless connection between the strings and body to optimise intonation and sustain.
Blacktop Filter'Tron pickups
Fitted to the body are two BlackTop Filter'Tron humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions. Designed to enhance the "fat" timbre produced by the body, this pair produce an enviable tonal arsenal for you to play with. The neck position enhances the plucky articulation of the neck and fingerboard, whilst the bridge pickup draws more from the body, generating a thunderous charge when you want it.
Control over the pickups comes in the form of a three-way pickup selector toggle switch, which allows you to select either pickup independently or select both outputs simultaneously for a fuller tone. Each pickup has an independent volume knob, and both are connected to master volume and tone pots.
The Gretsch G5422TG-12 Electromatic hollowbody guitar is the perfect model for those who want the sparkling majesty of a 12-string in a model that is very comfortable to perform with, and offers a highly versatile tonal palette to paint with. Whether you're picking up your first model, or are a seasoned pro who is seeking a reliable touring partner, it doesn't get much better than this.

- Guidelines for students applying for post-graduate studies
14 October 2015: During the final quarter of the year, tertiary students will be faced with the decision of whether or not to proceed with post-graduate studies. This is according to Rama Govenden, Executive: HR at PPS, who says that although post-graduate studies give students the prospect of one day entering the employment world with additional skills and understanding, they need to know exactly what it is that they hope to get out of the qualification.
"With the increasingly competitive job market young graduates are faced with in South Africa, a post-graduate qualification could be the one thing that sets a student apart from other candidates."
Govenden advises that it is important for students to ask themselves the following key questions before embarking on post-graduate studies;
What course do I want to study and for what reason?
Many students choose to further their studies because they are looking for an academic challenge while others are aiming to increase their knowledge, develop research skills or to gain a qualification that could further their career. Whatever the reason for embarking on post-graduate studies, it is important for any student looking to complete their honours, masters or even doctorate qualifications to choose the right course for their chosen career.
While many post-graduate qualifications and courses are linked to specific careers, such as the medical profession, in other professions a post-graduate qualification could lead to increased employment opportunities. It is advisable to speak to others who have already completed the course to ascertain whether they would recommend it.
Will the course recognise me as a professional?
When furthering studies in an effort to be a qualified professional in a specific field, it is vital to check with industry bodies whether the course is recognised by the professional body. If the course is not qualified, the student is at risk of completing a qualification that cannot advance their career.
Am I committed enough to do a post-graduate degree?
While it is very encouraging when students do decide to further their studies, it is imperative to realise that these programmes demand a lot of discipline, motivation and dedication. When a student commits to post-graduate studies, they need to ensure that they are fully capable of meeting the deadline and managing their time sufficiently to complete the programme. Most of these programmes are very fast-paced and in many instances the students are required to undergo a year, or even two years, of focussed research.
What type of course will suit my life?
It is equally important for students to consider the style of course that will suit their daily life, and possible work schedule, best. There are different options when it comes to course styles, such as lecture-based or distance learning, each with a different assessment method (coursework versus exams) to choose from.
Therefore, students are advised to ensure that they choose the most suitable course style for their personal circumstances. Some might even opt to study part-time or do an extended course if they choose to keep a full-time or part-time job while completing their post-graduate studies.
How will my studies be funded?
While more students should be encouraged to further their studies to post-graduate level, the costs of the programmes are generally substantial. Students should speak to prospective employers, public enterprises or big corporates in an effort to source bursaries or funding for their studies.
Govenden says that most companies offering bursaries normally allow the student to pay the funds back in the form of time spent working for the company. Upon completion of their studies, the student will be obliged to work for the company for a set period of time to repay the company for financially supporting their studies.
"A post-graduate degree can be a very important stepping stone to entering the job market as it portrays a positive message to possible recruiters. More people should consider taking their studies a level further by gaining additional knowledge and research experience in their chosen field of work in an effort to achieve their career goals," concludes Govenden.

Business Unaware Of Government's Flagship lending Scheme March 23, 2009Posted by liverpoolchamber in British Chambers of Commerce.
The British Chambers of Commerce (BCC) has published the results from its latest Monthly Business Survey.
The results from 250 companies across the UK show that 90 per cent of businesses are unaware that their bank offered or utilised the government's Enterprise Finance Guarantee scheme. Just one firm reported being offered a loan based on the government's flagship scheme.
With cash-flow remaining a serious problem, 61 per cent of firms reported they were being squeezed by late payments. Furthermore, nearly a third of businesses with an overdraft reported that their banks had imposed increased overdraft fees on them in the last six months.
The key findings from the survey include:
· 90% of respondents were not aware that their bank offered or utilised the Enterprise Finance Guarantee scheme.
· 61% of firms stated that the late payment of invoices is affecting their cash-flow position.
· Over half of businesses seeking a bank loan either failed to secure one or did not receive a loan that met their actual financial needs.
· Of the businesses that had an overdraft (60% of the sample), 30% stated that they had seen an increase in the fees associated with that overdraft facility over the last 6 months.
Commenting, David Frost, Director General of the BCC, said:
"A lot more needs to be done to raise awareness of these schemes. It is business that will drive the UK out of recession and it is vital that banks support companies through what is an extraordinarily difficult time.
"The government needs to address the growing pressures on cash-flow within businesses, even beyond relationships with banks. This means scrapping the planned rise in National Insurance Contributions, calling time on harmful extra regulation and freezing the national minimum wage."

A glimpse of the simple lifeSeptember 22nd, 2005
Last night, around 9:30pm (right in the middle of prime-time TV mind you) the power went out and we entered life without our normal stuff. Stuff you don't even think about. Besides not having lights, which we still caught ourselves instinctively flicking light switches when entering rooms, I realized that we're bound by the things that run on electric juice. The TV, Cable-modem, stereo, fridgerator, alarm clock… and the list goes on. Luckily, toilets run on sheer water pressure, so we could still flush….ahhhhh. We were talking last night, by candlelight, that Katrina caused hundreds of thousands of people to lose electricity, not to mention running water and basic essentials. Now imagine, with no water, power or sense of what to do, having to fend off looters and others in a irrational state of lawlessness and panic. The worse thing that happened for me was I missed the second half of "E-Ring", which i'm not totally sold on yet. I realized that if we had to stick it out during a disaster, we have enough food for maybe a week, enough drinks for a little longer than that, and enough toilet paper and paper towels to last through January…..thank goodness for Costco!
Now with Rita bearing down on the Texas coast, this whole process of evacuating, waiting, returning and rebuilding looks to repeat itself. One thought has crossed my mind…. with all the gridlock traffic going north away from the gulf coast, why don't people do most of their driving at night? The roads would likely be less crowded, the weather a little cooler (than the 97 degree Houston heat) and they would still beat the storm's arrival (tomorrow afternoon). I get frustrated on the daily 30 minute commute… imagine traffic so bad that you can get out of your car, walk to the gas station's restroom, wait in line to use it, and walk back to your car without traffic advancing at all. Insanity.

We visited Mon Ami Gabi this time for Sunday brunch. Again, I suppose it is a very good excuse for sitting outside on a sunny Chicago morning, but add the fun and tasty selection of pseudo-French choices for breakfast, and you have a great experience in store. The outdoor patio itself is adjacent to the parking lot but is well shielded by a fence and flower pots. Visited September 2015

I have a HP 2300dtn laser printer (PCL/PS) connected directly to the network and I would like to add "airprint" capability to it so that client computers can find it automatically.
The printer claims to support mDNS but it does not show up in iOS devices. What's the difference between mDNS and airprint?
Is there some way to use avahi on another computer to advertise my printer?

Maintenance Troubleshooting
Hot water systems
If the water is not hot, check ...
- Is the power switch on?
- Power box for tripped switch or blown fuse.
- That the gas meter power switch in on.
If none of these resolves the issue, please phone our office or complete our maintenance request form.
Water Leaks
Water bubbling out of the ground could be serious problem, please call the office. If you have no water at all ring WCC 4994444 to see if there is a problem in your area.
Bath/Shower/Toilet Leaks
If there is leaking into any areas backing onto the wet area, or if toilet or bath draining makes funny noises please call the office.
Faulty Electrical Plugs/Switches
Do not attempt to fix this yourself. Please check that the appliance in use is not faulty by trying it in another plug. If a faulty light switch, please don't use, call the office.
Check light bulb, check fuse box, and then if still faulty contact us to have it attended to.
Check the fuse box for tripped switch or blown fuse. If no power at all, check if neighboring properties are also without power before phoning us.
Oven / Hot Plates
Check if switched on at wall or fuse box for tripped switch or blown fuse. If oven does not work, check that the auto cook button on stove has not been turned on. This will stop the oven from working until the set time. If you smell burning, please turn oven off at the wall switch before calling us. We will endeavour to get this attended to as soon as possible.
No power - try another other point. Call us for all other problems if the whiteware is supplied with the property.

It's fun to be nostalgic and take a stroll down memory lane via an old photo album from your favorite decade. But when it comes to the '90s it is harder to capture the exact aroma of your favorite shampoo as a teen, the tingly feeling of your first face wash, or the look of the thick shadow that you vigorously applied to your virgin eyelids.
Remember the brands that you always threw into your parents' shopping cart, or saved up your hard-earned dollars to indulge in? We surveyed friends and family for their absolute favorite beauty products of the 1990s and came up with the slideshow above of the stuff we most associated with the popular decade, some of which are still around today.
What was your favorite beauty product of the 1990s?

It appears rumors (there's that word again) of precious metals' demise have been greatly exaggerated yet again. After hitting a low of $26/ounce just shortly after 24 hours ago, the metal has since soared by a whopping 26% to $32.90 (thank you CME and Shanghai Gold Exchange). That's $6.90 in one day. The same with gold. It seems that the market has finally had its brain kicked in a little following the realization that an expansion in the EFSF from E440 billion to E3 trillion (which has about 0.01% probability of happening, and would likely see the mobilization of a certain army first) would mean an exponential decline in the credibility of that "other" currency, which while potentially retaining its value against the "first" currency, will have been devalued that much more against the real, undilutable currency. We expect the market to comprehend that Goldman, for once, was spot on in its evaluation that anyone who bought yesterday at the lows, will have already made their full year unlevered return in one short day.

The third book featuring Little Elliot, a polka-dot elephant, and Mouse brings them to Coney Island.
Little Elliot and Mouse take the train to Coney Island, where Mouse assures Elliot that he will have a great time. Visual details such as the fashions on the racially diverse crowds—most especially the black enlisted sailor's dress whites—point to a time period of late 1930s to early 1940s, a feeling that is enhanced by Curato's lush illustrations in a color palette that recalls the postcards of that era. Having arrived at Coney Island, Elliot is, alas, not having a good time. He is frightened by the rides, a sea gull steals his ice cream, and the clown scares him. When Mouse suggests the Ferris wheel, Elliot climbs on with trepidation. But when, in a dramatic horizontal double-gatefold spread, he sees the whole wonderful panorama of the park, he begins to enjoy himself. At dusk, Elliot asks Mouse what his favorite part of the day was, and Mouse replies, "being with you," a sentiment echoed by Elliot. The story ends on this tidy, rather bland note, but adults reading aloud may privately muse about the poignancy of a story of friendship perched on the edge of World War II, and this adds a pleasing nuance.
Gorgeous illustrations and an evocative time period support a somewhat staid story. (Picture book. 4-6)

8 AM. We pull up to the house bright and early. The Sheriff is right on time, just as planned. His role is to make sure that the property has been vacated and, if not, he may have to take matters into his own hands. Boy am I glad to have him on our side.
The first thing I notice is that there is an older looking, Black SUV still parked in the driveway which leads me to believe that they're still in the house. They didn't leave. I knew it…
Per instructions from the Sheriff, we stay put by our cars on the side of the road while he went to inspect the house. He first knocks on the door, no answer. He waits a minute and then knocks again except this time with a little more force, no answer.
He peers through the front door windows, no one to be seen. He then takes a walk around the house and does the same with the back entrance. A knock on the door, a peak through the window, and still no one to be seen or heard. A big sigh of relief.
At this point we can (thankfully) assume that there is no one home. The front door is locked and the back door is locked so the only way in is through an unlocked window in the first floor office. The Sheriff shimmies his way inside to the front entrance, unlocks the door and opens it up.
There is a look of absolute disgust on his face as he's covering his mouth.
I'll try to describe this in the best way I can.
We walk into house. The first thing that hits you is the overwhelming stench that has been trapped inside with the hot and humid sun beating down on it. As you make your way through the living room, all you see is trash…piles and piles of trash scattered all over. All of a sudden, we hear barking and a tiny little dog runs into the room. He is shaking, scared to death, and defecating on the spot. He is frail and skinny and probably hasn't had a real meal in weeks or months, who knows.
There are holes in most of the walls. The kitchen sink is filled wish dirty dishes, old food, and more trash. It's pouring out onto the counter-tops. The bedrooms are more of the same. Every inch of the ground is covered in filth. There are single mattresses on the ground, no bed frame or box spring, just a mattress with a blanket. If you open the dressers, you'll find an odd mixture of clothes and, you guessed it, more trash. Dirty dishes shoved into random spots. Used utensils on the ground, under the floor, under pillows, everywhere. If you opened a cabinet in the bathroom, you'd find old underwear with feces in it. Drug paraphernalia hidden throughout the house…needles, smoking devices, lighters, the whole nine yards.
This place was straight out of a horror movie. And the worst part is that children lived here. A family lived here.
A quick walk out to the backyard and over to the pool, you'll find that it's a dark, murky, green color with more trash and dead animals. The back screened porch is broken down and ruined. There's not one place that seemed to be in good condition.
The side of the house used to have a nice paved landing that is perfect for parking an RV or a boat. It was filled with trash bags. Old and smelly trash bags that have accumulated for far too long.
It was truly a horrifying sight. It blows my mind that some people choose to live like this. It really puts things into perspective coming from a sheltered suburb outside of Boston. You aren't exposed to this type of behavior, you never see it but maybe hear of it and yet it's happening all over the world and sadly worse than this in some places.
The first thing we do is call animal control for the dog. He needs to be taken care of and I really mean that, he needs to be cared for and the only quick solution we can think of is to use the referral from the Sheriff. I wish the best for that dog but there is more for us to deal with.
*Side note, when animal control came by he also informed us that there was lice all over the house and yard. Great…
Our next plan of action required thought. Here we were thousands of miles away from home, with a house in the worst condition I had ever seen and time was not on our side. What to do, what to do…
The most logical move was to change the locks and to make sure the property was completely locked down, windows and all. So we bunkered down the house and made sure it was safer than Fort Knox. Then, we would head back home to Boston for a week or so until we could formulate a plan. So that's what we did.
A week went by and we had our plan set. Me, my aunt, my uncle, and 2 friends of mine would head down to the house for a weekend, rent a dumpster, and we would gut the entire house. Furniture, trash, appliances, rugs, literally anything and everything was going to be ripped out and tossed into a dumpster. There was no alternative, this place needed an upside down change.
From sun up to sun down we spent the each day shoving everything into trash bags and moving them to the dumpster. We ripped up the dirty carpets, threw them into the dumpster. We removed all of the furniture, threw them into the dumpster. Couches, dressers, tables, whatever was there we quickly removed until nothing was left. I mean that too, not one thing was left inside this house…it was completely emptied out. I was shocked at the difference we were able to make in such a short period of time. It's incredible to see how much hard work can make a difference in any given situation.
At this point, the house was emptied out, the pool was mostly emptied out, and the yard was cleared up. The dumpster was going to be picked up later that weekend (completely filled to the brim) and the car had been towed out of the driveway. Good riddance. It was time to head back home after what I saw as a massive win for Team Steve. (That's me).
Once we returned home, we remained in contact with one of the neighbor's down in South Carolina. He gave us a referral for a contractor who could help fix up the house. The walls would be patched up and repainted, the floors would be replaced with fresh carpet and laminate hardwood would be layed down. We also received a referral for a pool guy who would clean it out and make it sparkle once more. A landscaper would come by and take care of the lawn, and make any improvements he saw necessary such as adding in a few plants, flowers, or trees. We had assembled a small team to take care of the renovations and all of this took place while I was back home, once again working my 9-5 job. Time went on and the projects slowly but surely finished up. Pictures were sent over but they never can do a justice, I had to see the real thing. My aunt, my uncle and I flew down one more time to see the finished results and also to meet with a Property Manager. They would tour the house with us, take pictures, and give us the run down on how this property could be rented out in the near future. Everything went swimmingly and we struck an agreement to do business together. Within a month or so the PM had found a solid pool of tenants and eventually they narrowed it down to one couple who would go on to be my first tenants ever.
Fast forward to today and the same tenants are still living in the house. They rarely complain, they rarely cause trouble and they keep the house in pristine condition the way it should be. I collect rents from my PM every month and if there are ever any maintenance issues they notify me and we take care of it as quick as possible. It's a nice side income I must say.
After reading this, try and really put into perspective what it was like for me. Put yourself into my shoes and imagine going through all of that at age 23. It's mind blowing to say the least.
Those were easily some of the worst days of my life, but somehow I was able to overcome them. I couldn't have done it without my family, my friends, and anyone else who showed me support and kept me moving forward. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger and I firmly believe that. Without that experience I would not be where I am today, a proud owner of not one but two properties and many more to come. This was my introduction to Real Estate and I hope you enjoyed the story. Thanks for tuning in and cheers!
P.S. The slideshow at the beginning was during the gutting process…crazy right? It was even worse when we first walked in.
Take a look at the after pictures that our PM took before renting it out.
Absolutely stunning compared to before!!!

I was doing some research yesterday and ran across some articles discussing the Obama Administration's definition of terrorism. One such article was from The Blaze, and I know that Glenn Beck is meticulous about his research, so I pursued the resources he shared, and sure enough, I found the report published by the Department of Homeland Security. I pulled the following from it:
"Detailed information on each category of ideological motivation can be found in the Profiles of Perpetrators of Terrorism-United States report compiled by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (Miller, Smarick, and Simone, 2011). Briefly, the report describes each category as follows:
Extreme Right-Wing: groups that believe that one's personal and/or national "way of life" is under
attack and is either already lost or that the threat is imminent (for some the threat is from a specific
ethnic, racial, or religious group), and believe in the need to be prepared for an attack either by
participating in paramilitary preparations and training or survivalism. Groups may also be fiercely nationalistic (as opposed to universal and international in orientation), anti-global, suspicious of centralized federal authority, reverent of individual liberty, and believe in conspiracy theories that involve grave threat to national sovereignty and/or personal liberty. The first sentence includes everybody preparing for emergencies, including preppers, the Boy Scouts, and anyone else who follows the news. The second sentence includes just about everyone else. So why have all of the other criteria. Why not make it a one-page memo and move on? Just for kicks, though, lets look at the rest of the list.
Extreme Left-Wing: groups that want to bring about change through violent revolution rather than through established political processes. This category also includes secular left-wing groups that rely heavily on terrorism to overthrow the capitalist system and either establish "a dictatorship of the proletariat" (Marxist-Leninists) or, much more rarely, a decentralized, non-hierarchical political system (anarchists). Hmmmmmm…the Obama Administration is openly funding the Muslim Brotherhood and is arming radical Syrian rebel forces known to be primarily Al Qaeda, although Obama and John Kerry have tried to market the situation differently. In addition, Obama clearly is instituting a socialist/Marxist agenda.
Religious: groups that seek to smite the purported enemies of God and other evildoers, impose strict religious tenets or laws on society (fundamentalists), (this takes care of all Christians) forcibly insert religion into the political sphere (e.g., those who seek to politicize religion, such as Christian Reconstructionists and Islamists), and/or bring about Armageddon (apocalyptic millenarian cults; 2010: 17). For example, Jewish Direct Action, Mormon extremist, Jamaat-al-Fuqra, and Covenant, Sword and the Arm of the Lord (CSA) are included in this category. While this document contains the word "Islamists," please be aware that Obama has since purged hundreds of documents of anything to do with Islam, Jihad, and Muslims. Apparently they are no longer to be considered any kind of a threat. According to FBI spokesman Christopher Allen, "The FBI purged documents according to four criteria: "factual errors"; "poor taste"; employment of "stereotypes" about Arabs or Muslims; or presenting information that "lacked precision." I would like to see that criteria applied to the rest of the groups that Obama has targeted.
Ethno-Nationalist/Separatist: regionally concentrated groups with a history of organized political autonomy with their own state, traditional ruler, or regional government, who are committed to gaining or regaining political independence through any means and who have supported political movements for autonomy at some time since 1945. Each state in the union meets this criteria, doesn't it? The Obama Administration has made a clear movement toward weakening state sovereignty, the Common Core Standards Initiative being a glaring example of this effort.
Single Issue: groups or individuals that obsessively focus on very specific or narrowly-defined causes (e.g., anti-abortion, anti-Catholic, anti-nuclear, anti-Castro). This category includes groups from all sides of the political spectrum. If the previous criteria did not catch just about every American in its net, this one certainly does. I don't know of any person anywhere that doesn't have at least one single issue that they feel very strongly about, and are ready to argue it or support it at a moment's notice. From rights for students with disabilities and stopping Common Core, to pro-abortion, pro-life, gun rights, gun removal, gay rights activities, anti-gay…who isn't on this list by this criteria alone? Isn't the fact that we are FREE to disagree and have our beliefs one of the beautiful principles on which this country was founded?
When I sit back and digest this information, along with the wealth of reports regarding anti-Christian training in the military, homeschoolers now considered domestic terrorists, Obama's open disparaging of the Constitution, and parents' rights under government attack, I see a very clear and discouraging picture of where we are as a nation. This is a non-partisan issue. It's an American issue.
I used to be concerned and speak out about our freedoms slowly eroding away right before our eyes and our being oblivious to it. Now, I am saddened because erosion was apparently too slow–the government now just uses a bulldozer right out in the open.
Have we not enjoyed these freedoms, holding them as fundamental to our nation's survival? Have not thousands of military members and police men and women sacrificed heavily to protect these freedoms? Are we truly ready to just give them up.
I have no doubt that I am on a list of some sort, because I am not willing to go quietly. Are you willing to join me?

Best SBR Sequential Batch Activated Sludge Equipment: Its originally proposed in 1914 by the British scholar Ardern and Lockett, but given the aerator easy jam, low level of automatic control, operation management complex reasons, was soon replaced by continuous activated sludge process. Until...
Best SBR Sequential Batch Activated Sludge Equipment:
SBR is a kind of activated sludge method, its reaction mechanism and the mechanism of removing pollutants are basically the same as the traditional activated sludge method, but the operation mode is very different.
It splits the process units in chronological order, and the whole process is intermittent for a single operation unit.
Typical SBR set aeration and precipitation in a pool, do not need to set two sinks and sludge backflow equipment.
environmental management technology:
In this system, the reaction tank in a certain time interval is full of water, running in batch processing way, after processing, the mixture of precipitation, with the help of a special cleaning fluid drainage equipment out, precipitation of biological sludge are left in the pool, used for mixed with sewage wastewater treatment again, so that, in turn, run repeatedly, constitutes the sequencing batch type process.
The typical SBR system consists of five phases: water inlet, reaction, precipitation, drainage and idle
The SBR process has the following main advantages:
1. It is very rare to deal with the structure. A SBR reactor set is aerated and precipitated, which saves the initial sink, sink and return sludge pump room.
Therefore, it is very economical to deal with the area of the structure and the connecting pipes and fluid conveying equipment between the structures, which can generally reduce the total investment of the project by 10% ~ 20%.
2. Due to its intermittent water inflow, the amount of time and amount of water can be adjusted, so the change of water quality is adaptable, and there is no need to set up the adjustment pool.
3. Small area, 30 % to 50% less than traditional activated sludge method, is one of the most important processes in the current sewage treatment process.
4. Nitrogen removal and phosphorus removal.
By adjusting the aeration time and the intermittent time, the wastewater is in the reaction tank, which is the condition of alternating aerobic, hypoxia and anaerobic conditions.
At the same time, the change of environmental conditions can effectively inhibit the growth of filamentous bacteria and reduce the influence of sludge expansion.
5. Running, the sewage treatment plant was finished flow generally lower than the design value, SBR can according to the needs of water quality, increase or decrease in the number of cell body operation, so that we can avoid unnecessary energy consumption, this is what other process does not have.
process principle:
Called the ICEAS Intermittent cyclic delay Aeration activated sludge process (Intermittent Cycle Extended Aeration), its biggest feature is in the reactor inlet added a reaction zone, operation mode for continuous water (precipitation period, drainage period still straight into the water), Intermittent drainage, no obvious reaction and idle.
The effluent from the prereaction area enters the main reaction area at very low velocity, and the mud water separation in the main reaction area will not have obvious effect.
Because of the simple and easy management of ICEAS facilities, especially the cost of treating municipal wastewater and industrial wastewater more than the classic SBR system, it has received a lot of attention both at home and abroad.
More than 300 sewage treatment plants have been put into operation since the rise of Australia in the early 1980s.
The operation of ICEAS is shown in figure 1-2: the SBR reaction pool is divided into two parts along the length direction, the front is the prereaction area, and the rear is the main reaction area.
The prereaction area can regulate the effect of water flow, and the main reaction area is the main body of aeration and precipitation.
ICEAS is a continuous water inlet process, not only in the reaction stage, but also in the precipitation and decantation stage.
Sewage after entering pre-reaction area, through the partition wall at the bottom of the joint to advection flow into the main reaction pool, in the main reaction pool intermittent aeration and water precipitation decantation, become straight into the water, intermittent water of SBR reaction pool, the water distribution greatly simplified, the operation is more flexible.
The function of each operating unit in ICEAS process is:
A, aeration stage By intermittent oxygen aeration system to the reaction in the pool, at this time by the microbial action by biological oxidation, organic matter and ammonia nitrogen in wastewater by microbial nitrification and denitrification, to achieve the effect of nitrogen.
B. In the precipitation phase, the oxygen can be stopped in the reaction tank, the activated sludge will drop in static state and the mud water will be separated.
C. After the decanting stage is deposited to a certain depth in the sludge, the water decanter system starts to work, discharging the liquid in the reaction tank.
In the process of decantation water, due to the sludge settling at the bottom, concentration is larger, can according to need to start the sludge pump will be excess sludge discharge to the sludge pool, to keep the reactor must be activated sludge concentration.
After the decantation finishes, it enters the next new cycle, begins to aerate, and begins to complete the treatment of the sewage.

Tina Pham – Owner/Operator – Transcriptionist
Because some people still want to communicate with a human being and have their transcriptions produced by a human being, I have yet to be replaced by a computer software program. Take YouTube's auto transcript for example – sometimes really funny, sometimes a bit disturbing, rarely comes close to being accurate.
The Story:
In 1999, I became a subcontracted transcriptionist doing general transcription for a couple different companies until 2011 when I became a subcontractor for a court reporter transcribing depositions and court proceedings. In 2013, I branched out to begin working with clients directly. I have always found transcription work to be very educational, affording me the opportunity to learn about some very interesting topics, but I now have the opportunity to work directly with some very talented people and companies as well.
In these past nearly 20 years, I have gained experience a wide variety of content including, but not limited to, financial, legal, medical, lifestyle, and computer programming. I've transcribed such things as focus groups, financial analyst meetings, government hearings, interviews, court proceedings and depositions, podcasts, and YouTube/Vimeo videos, to name a few. I have my own equipment, and I conduct business in a professional, confidential manner with attention to detail and a high degree of accuracy (99+% accuracy rate).
Memory Lane:
We've come a long way! The processes for transcription have become simplified and streamlined. In 1999, we had to call in using a landline, punch a bunch of numbers (codes) to record audio into a tape recorder using a special technique to reduce background noise. This "technique" involved placing the tape recorder in a plastic container, wrapping a sock around the transmitter end of the handset, placing the lid over it, and yelling for everyone in the house to be quiet and, unless an absolute emergency, DO NOT pick up another phone within the house! I can remember hearing that infamous "You've Got Mail" from AOL that I would repeat in my head, "You've got work." Can you still remember that tone you'd hear with the dial-up Internet? Now only about 60% of homes in the U.S. have a landline!
A Little Personal:
I am located in the Midwest (central time zone) where I live with my husband and youngest son, and my eldest son, daughter-in-law, and grandchild live close by. I love photography and watching movies. Our "family sport" is tennis. I am a Board Member for our local CTA (community tennis association) where I manage most of the social media and produce newsletters. What I enjoy most about having a home-based business is the flexible schedule and working with some amazing clients and companies. What I enjoy most about being a transcriptionist is, from day one, I have constantly been learning new and interesting things. It is like being in a classroom every day, always learning, both on the content side with the transcripts themselves as well as on the business side. I also enjoy sharing things that I've learned, some of which can be found on my YouTube channel.
Public Mentions:
It truly is an honor to be publicly mentioned and highlighted for the work that I do. It's also rewarding to be a part of someone's greater work, such as using the transcripts I've done to help write books. Here are two books I've had the honor of being mentioned in:
PeopleShock: The Path to profits When Customers Rule, by Tema Frank (page 301)
Dare to Dream Bigger: The 'Inside Work' Handbook for Entrepreneurs and Passionate World-Changers, by Clare Josa (page 315)
Here are a few compliments as well as plugs about the importance of transcripts, in general:
Codepen Radio: Mentioned within the podcast Episode #043 with regards to transcription services: "I think that this one that I've linked up that we use at Shoptalk kills it. They understand tech … I know that Pham is good at it."
ApplyFilters.fm (Proofed Episode 10 and transcribed Episodes 8, 9, and 11 through to the present.)
EPISODE 13: Mentioned in the comments section: Brad: "We hired someone at 25 cents per minute and the quality and communication was poor. Then we hired someone at $1 per minute and as you can see, she has been excellent."
MaggiePatterson.com/blog (Transcribed Episode 16 through Episode 56)
EPISODE 51: Mentioned within the podcast: Maggie Patterson: "Finally, this is a big part of content strategy that's easy to get overlooked. It's kind of the systematic part. What is the workflow and the schedule? How do you create content? What are the steps involved? Who's involved? For every single piece of content in my business, we know who touches it when.
"The perfect example is the podcast. I record the podcast. Lizzie then does the show notes. Then RJ gets the finals. And then Tina, our transcriptionist, gets it. There's a very clear flow in order of all the steps. Even if you were a show of one, you want to understand all the little pieces along the way."
EPISODE 54: Listen to what they say about the importance of transcripts:
JESSICA: "Podcasts and video series that don't have transcripts, a lot of times I skip over those just because sometimes I'd just really rather read it."
MAGGIE: "Okay. I'm so glad you brought this up. I was actually talking to someone about this and how, if I take a training or a course, I can't watch the videos. It's literally, like, I don't have the patience. Also, too, that's not my learning style."
JESSICA: "Mm-hmm."
MAGGIE: "I literally will read the transcripts. That's the only way. If there are no transcripts, I am so done for."
JESSICA: "I'm so with you. Yeah."
CorbinLinks.com (Transcribed Episodes 5 through 32 and 36)
EPISODE 12: Mentioned within the podcast: Corbin Links: "Just a few quick housekeeping items this week. First, a shout out to our awesome transcription team over at Pham Transcription Services. A couple of folks asked me earlier this week about where we get our transcriptions done. Pham Transcription Services is our go-to team. I'm going to have a link to them in the show notes."

Recipe: Stuffed Pork Chops
The only side dish you need here is served right inside the meat, but feel free to offer a simple green salad on the side.
You can substitute any green you wish, such as spinach or kale, for the stuffing's chard.
MAKE AHEAD: The stuffing can be made and refrigerated a day in advance.
From Washington food writer David Hagedorn.
4 servings
Four 1-inch-thick, 10-ounce rib pork chops, trimmed of most fat
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound Swiss chard or rainbow chard, stemmed, cleaned and coarsely chopped (8 cups)
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 link (3 ounces) cooked andouille sausage, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
One 4-inch piece French baguette, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (2 cups)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
2 large cloves garlic, sliced thin
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3/4 cup homemade or no-salt-added chicken broth
Use a sharp paring knife to cut a horizontal pocket in the loin part of each chop, going all the way to the bone.
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the chard and the salt; cook, stirring often, to wilt the greens, about 2 minutes. Transfer the greens to a large bowl, then add the andouille, baguette cubes, cheese, garlic, oregano and pepper, stirring until well incorporated.
Fill the pocket of each chop with a cup of stuffing. Press the edges of the chop together and secure them with toothpicks. Use the palm of your hand to gently flatten each chop and distribute the stuffing evenly. They will be quite full. Season them on both sides with salt and pepper.
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees.
Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in an ovenproof saute pan (large enough to hold all of the chops) over medium-high heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the chops and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, just to brown them. Add the broth, then cover tightly with aluminum foil; transfer to the oven to bake for 30 minutes, then remove the foil. Transfer the chops to a plate; use the same foil to loosely cover the chops while they rest for 10 minutes.
Spoon some of the pan juices over the chops, or, if you wish, reduce the juices to thicken them slightly.

EightSquared is the 2013 UK National Science Fiction Convention in Bradford - 29th March to 1st April.
"Alexander Bogdanov, science fiction pioneer, philosopher, physician, Lenin's friend and rival, explored the idea of automating society. The West calls this cybernetics and it fuels consumer culture. But in the Soviet Union, Bogdanov's philosophy was discredited and suppressed. With pictures, video, short readings, and no small amount of handwaving, I'll explain why Bogdanov, not Wells, is the true founder of modern sf." A talk by Simon Ings.

You know what Gerald Giam said? He said there is no such thing as "freak" election because that is people's will. His was in response to Khaw Boon Wan's warning that this could be a freak election and the PAP loses all seats.
Is there any truth in what he said?
Then may I ask the very brilliant Mr Giam.....if this election the PAP won every seats and a one party government emerged, will he still say this is the people's will?
If he says yes it is, please help me to slap the face of Sylvia Lim and Low Thai Khiang because they said that "one party" is bad for democracy. They are going against the people's will, are they not?
This is precisely what I want to talk about in simple, understandable terms.
It is not a must that there must be oppositions in parliament to fulfill the basic requirement of democracy. Democracy fundamentally means acting according to the will of the people.
So, while the Workers Party accuses the PAP of dictating election debates with their own agenda, is not the Workers Party also forcing its agenda on the people that there must be more oppositions in parliament?
At the end of the day, did the people benefited in real terms? Certainly the Singapore Democratic Party thinks that the Workers Party have not been effective oppositions in parliament, according to Chee Soon Juan" rally speech. If fellow opposition party thinks so, what more does the PAP?
Sylvia Lim has in her rally speech pitched that the Workers Party did do their job well by registering better attendance than the PAP, participating in debates (largely related to AHPETC) raised important issues as the Population White Paper. I'm not sure did she mention more, but the video clip just stopped at that.
However, Singaporeans have not heard from the Workers Party with regards to some very sensitive and important issues. Do they not have any policy positions as an aspiring party to becoming government one day? If they don't have any policy position, at least have some opinion, but why was there silence.
These are some of the sensitive but important issues :
1. ISIS influence in Singapore and the region
2. Same Sex Marriage in Singapore and Section 377A
3. The wearing tudung as part of public service uniform
2. Same Sex Marriage in Singapore and Section 377A
3. The wearing tudung as part of public service uniform
Still continue harping on the importance of democracy without active and meaningful participation in public discussion, they warned the public, Singaporeans that an all white parliament will stifle democracy.
I have just discovered from beginning from today, all Workers Party candidates can only comment on their manifesto and refrain from answering the media on other subjects.
The difference between the PAP ans the Workers Party is that the PAP openly tells you that there is a "party whip". Its MPs are free to voice their personal opinions.
However, it seems that the Workers Party prefers ways that are not transparent. The public, Singaporeans have no way of knowing Workers Party's directions other than what they have prepared for public consumption.
We have here an opposition party with aspiration to govern Singapore talking about transparency and democracy, but in practice does not even measure up to the PAP government.
What do we make of the people who would die die vote for the Workers Party?https://www.facebook.com/Anthony-Kan-Page-620606971399453/timeline/

Ancillary Justice
I started this last year during Christmas break but couldn't quite get into it. When I first read it, I was only good at following one storyline at the time, and the present-day stuff was easier to follow, even if it was slower and less interesting. This time around, I was more able to track what was happening in the flashbacks, and the story started pulling together. I enjoyed it quite thoroughly, though I think I'm less enraptured with it than some of the other people I know. Definitely willing to continue reading the series. Not sure when I'll have a chance.
I think my favorite bit of this story was trying to intuit the way the other characters relate to and feel about Breq through Breq's POV.
The gender stuff didn't quite work for me the way it did for a lot of other people. I didn't care about gendering characters because the POV character didn't.
As advertised, a fun, feminist tweaking of James Bond films. I just wish it was smarter. Jason Statham's casting was inspired, and he got the biggest laughs out of me.
Pitch Perfect 2
Pleasant enough and hits the usual story beats for a sequel to an underdog sports movie. Still feels like it's trying to be Glee, over-the-top offensive humor and all.
Mr. Robot
Only saw the first 4 eps, because those were the only ones available.
This show is interesting to me because I am still trying to figure out if I want to watch the rest of it. It's definitely one of the most accurate shows about computers/technology/hacking that I've seen. It's also definitely a kind of wish fulfilment show for socially awkward nerd-dude hackers.
But it's a lot more nuanced and sharp than it needs to be. It's a show that is incredibly deliberate about the compositions of its shots and calls attention to it. Rami Malek is riveting to watch in his stillnesses, which is always impressive. The Robin Hood story at the center is a lot more complex than it first appears.
The treatment of the women bothers me a lot. With a few exceptions, they're forced to the outside, where things are done to them and they aren't allowed to do anything besides be emotional support for Elliot.
Only watched one episode of this (episode 3), and I enjoyed it? There's a lot of stuff tossed into the mix here, and it's serialized enough that I feel like I barely got a taste of it. Even with how up-front it is about its subject matter, it feels more prurient and voyueristic than, say, Sense 8. I think I'll have to give it a few more episodes before I can draw a real conclusion about that.

Strategic acquisitions have a historical failure rate of 70-90%. That's a pretty dismal stat.
So, what are you doing wrong? And, more importantly, how do you properly lead your team in an acquisition process when the cards are stacked against you?
Below are five of the most common mistakes we see corporate buyers make when going through the acquisition process. These mistakes can be costly – especially, if the deal dies after you chased it for months. We've included reminders of basic, yet vitally important, acquisition principles that will allow you to steer clear of failure and action items to help your team gain momentum in the right direction.
How Corporate Buyers Kill Deals
1. Not thinking strategically
In over 13 years of mergers and acquisitions, we've only once seen a company produce a Sustainable Growth Matrix, let alone actually use one to guide their acquisition strategy. Where does an acquisition fit into your strategic plan? How does an acquisition serve your goals?
Our client, Alphapointe has made two acquisitions (Matchless Molding and Proformance Calling). As a nonprofit, acquisitions of private businesses are unique, with many nonprofit organizations completely unaware of this option. Alphapointe made this innovative decision through very strong strategic planning. Their acquisitions furthered their mission of employing blind or visually impaired people, dramatically improved the performance of their historical investment portfolio, and allowed consolidation into their current facilities for synergy gains. The acquisitions diversified their revenue into private-sector contracts and into new products being sold to new customers. Their strategic acquisitions were strategic at multiple levels.
Action item
Dust off – and upgrade – your strategic plan. Don't have one? Create one. If you're really feeling froggy, unchain those newly minted MBAs and let them use their education to create a Sustainable Growth Matrix for you to uncork at your next board meeting. This is time well spent – strategy is the foundation of a successful acquisition.
2. Not being ready to make decisions
Acquisitions are full of decisions – large and small, in real time and, often, with short notice. Without an internal system for decision making, any acquisition process gets bogged down. And time will eventually kill all deals. Be asking these questions:
- Who are your decision makers, at the various levels, as prospects filter through the process?
- How will you maintain momentum on multiple simultaneous deals?
- Who is the dedicated point person accountable for key communication to the acquisition team?
One of our more successful clients maintains an internal point person to act as project manager for their management team, with 30% of their workload budgeted to the acquisition process. That may not sound like a lot but it makes the process much smoother. Although not the final decision maker, being in close and continual contact with this person gives us insight to better understand dynamics within the company. Collectively we can immediately engage the proper people depending upon where an opportunity fits within the strategic plan so we don't lose a great prospect to inattention or a faster competitor.
Action item
Create an internal deal team and task one person to lead. Assign specific roles to each team member with clear expectations about how much time each person is expected to invest in the process. Explain the hierarchy of communication and the gating mechanisms that will demand their attention as prospects move through the funnel.
3. Thinking too narrowly
Did your MBA finish that Sustainable Growth Matrix yet?
You must have an investment thesis. Define various quantitative and qualitative criteria for a successful acquisition, and then give yourself the latitude to achieve that success in multiple ways. Flexibility gives you options. Stick to – but continually evaluate – your thesis. Industries cycle, so don't get caught in the trap of overspending on an acquisition or closing a cancerous cultural fit because you are only pursuing the 'More To The Same' quadrant because "That's what we know."
Yes, many of our strategic buyers have pretty specific desires for their acquisition. These desires, like existing equipment, facility, customer base, specially-trained employees, etc., allow for quick analysis and filtering of acquisition targets. Targets that achieve geographical expansion or market consolidation are the usual suspects. But, what if the usual suspects are too expensive, simply not available or the last company you would ever want to buy?
Take a step back and ask – "What COULD be my criterion for success?" If you're going to dedicate the time, energy and money to run a process, then run a real process. Leverage the expertise of your outside resources and run them ragged. Open that throttle wide and see if you can find that Blue Ocean acquisition. Even if you don't get to a Blue Ocean, you'll still have the usual suspects in the funnel to close.
Action item
Fill out this workbook to help you begin developing a flexible, diverse investment thesis for success.
4. Forgetting that marketing matters
Targets will respond to your brand and your approach– the targets may be curious, flattered or confused about why you reached out to them. It doesn't matter, as long as they respond. Particularly for closely-held businesses, if you can't elicit any emotion out of the target, your response rate will be minimal and acquisition success plummets. Be thoughtful about how you're positioning yourself.
When we reach out to target companies on behalf of our corporate clients we include a profile of the business – including an overview, history and acquisition objectives. This is where a target business owner's interest is piqued. Even if they haven't heard of our client's company they might be impressed with the positioning and their interest grows when they do a little research. We're continually refining our process – our efforts have produced a 8-24% response rate. Sellers want a trustworthy buyer, to feel like the inquiry is sincere and professionalism exists if they decide to respond.
Your reputation matters and your approach is critical.
Action item
Answer these questions (and then make adjustments if the answers aren't satisfactory):
- What is my company's reputation in the industry?
- How will a target respond to outreach with my company's name on it?
- What will they think about my company when they look it up online?
- Will I survive a Google search? Or more importantly, the quiet, strategic calls made to find out if the solicitation is legitimate?
5. Not thinking about the financial finish line
You must be ready to execute financially. Making an acquisition is expensive. Making a bad acquisition is even more expensive. Going "0-fer" after 24 months is expensive and painful.
Where is the money coming from to close your acquisition? Our DVS Murphy's Law of Acquisitions states that you will always find a dream acquisition that sits 25% outside the boundary of the highest limit you defined in your investment thesis. Or, the combination of growth rate, competitive pressure, assets involved, negotiated terms, etc. completely mangle the capitalization structure your CFO and bank designed for the investment thesis. Where is the money coming from for the deal you want, but you can't close internally? External capital partners have different requirements. Think about how your investment partner will impact your operations.
Our corporate clients establish their outside transaction size boundaries for their process, and many inevitably uncover a few that follow DVS Murphy's Law. The siren song of that ideal target is so strong, and we find ourselves fighting to force our clients to maintain discipline with their investment thesis to keep them from eventually crashing on the rocks.
Our disciplined clients avoid those crashes because we discussed the eventualities of a deal too big. The options are:
- Walk away
- Stretch and get comprehensive organizational and board buy-in to go ahead and eat the whale
- Navigate a joint venture
- Completely change banking relationships to a larger bank
- Quickly bring in outside capital from mezzanine, mequity©, or equity investors
Financial agility calls for special expertise – it can resurrect a deal or save you from the wrong one. If you aren't ready to pivot quickly, your acquisition will get run over by time.
Action item
Understand exactly what your financing limit and structure limitations are for your current bank, define your absolute limit of equity investment, and have your acquisition team learn what outside capital looks like for an outsized deal.
Sometimes what's left undone is what kills a deal. Failing to think strategically, having a poor communication and decision-making structure, operating out of an inflexible investment thesis, forgetting about the response you elicit in the market, or not having a plan for the financial finish line are deal-killing mistakes we've seen corporate buyers make.
Those mistakes are part of the reason strategic acquisitions are cursed with a 70-90% failure rate. But there's no need to be spooked. Follow through on the action items included and maybe you can avoid that curse.
