Every once in a while in this business you come across a gem that you wish you could purchase yourself. Today was that day as I fell in love with this property as I shot aerial photographs for it's real estate listing.
This property is one of the most secluded that I've ever come across. It would be a dream for a couple or small family that was looking to get away from all the noise and live in their own private forest. Yeah, I sound like a real estate agent now don't I? Second career maybe? No thanks, I'm happy to stick to being the photographer and providing aerial photography to the home owners and agents.
I got destroyed by mosquitoes, but the sight of deer, ducks, and the sound of frogs and birds made me forget the mosquitoes fairly quickly. This large pond which is clearly visible out of the patio windows is one of the current owners favourite points. He realizes that this property is a little bit hidden, but swears that as soon as a potential buyer stands on that patio and looks out over the pond, they're going to be sold. Yeah, as I mentioned earlier, that was almost me!
Just in case you're not here just for the photos, here is a little blurb about this property from the listing:
Exceptional treed & picturesque property. Home overlooks 'PORTER'S POND'. Lots of deer, moose & wildlife visit the property. Cedar 'Lyndal' 1392 sq ft Bungalow w/192 sq ft loft & Big Beautiful Windows to enjoy the View. This is a 'Once-in-a-Lifetime' property, original owners. Spacious LR-DR w/vaulted ceilings, floor to ceiling Fieldstone fireplace & lots of windows & sliding doors to the front deck overlooking the Pond. Open Beam ceilings thru out, Country knotty cedar kitchen w/vaulted ceilings & good counter & cabinet space, main floor laundry is off the hallway & has the back door entry. There are 2 bedrooms on this level & the lge master bedroom has sliding doors to front deck, 2 pc bath & a lge double closet. Enjoy the view & listen to the birds & crickets/squirrels from your bedroom. Upstairs is a lge loft which could serve as a games area/studio or another bedroom, all done in cedar w/rakehead windows. There is also a 26×28 double garage.
Rick Lemieux – Realtor
I loved flying and photographing this property, and the homeowner said that what I'm doing is a marvel. If you'd like aerial photos taken for your properties, I'd love to hear from you! You can call or text me anytime at 587-991-0997 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

2-5 inches fall across Piedmont
A storm system that brought thundersnow and heavy snow to portions of the Piedmont is moving out, leaving behind a wide swath of 2-5 inches of snow.
Rain transitioned to snow across the area around 6 p.m. and thundersnow was reported in several cities.
Thundersnow is a thunderstorm when the air is cold enough to produce snow instead of rain. Just like in the spring and summer, instability is created when the air above the ground is much colder than the air at the ground.
Tonight, at ground level we are certainly chilly, but above it is much colder and as the upper disturbance that Van has talked about this week moves overhead, it will continue to produce thundersnow with heavier pockets of snowfall.
Warmer ground temperatures will allow the snow to slowly melt overnight, however roads will be treacherous on Friday morning.
Drivers are urged to stay off the road if possible.
The roads are expected to get slushy and tonight as temperatures dip to the upper 20s, we may also see some of this become a more solid ice on elevated surfaces in the morning.

5000 Series Steerable
The AxleTech 5000 Series planetary steerable axles are engineered to meet the increasing demands of the 4x4, 6x6 or 8x8 off-highway trucks, all terrain (AT) cranes, multi-axle mobile cranes, tow tractors, and heavy duty specialty type vehicle vocations. This axle has a vocationally dependent axle load rating of up to 28,700 lb (13,000 kg).
A wide range of overall axle ratios, load capacities, vehicle mountings, carrier offsets, and brakes for performance characteristics are available to match your specific vehicle installation requirements. The 5000 series steer axle has common wheel mounting capability with the 5000 series rigid as well as other axles of the 3000/4000 series families, brake option and selected hub mounting dependant. Standard features, for example, include a choice of 4 planetary hub reductions that provide an overall axle ratio range from 5.38 to 17.50 offering maximum flexibility to meet your desired performance and optimize the vehicle performance.
Multiple axle options include many features to permit optimization of this steer axle family to customize the axle for your specific vocational requirements. Double cardan axle shafts are standard to permit high steer angle capability. Outboard mounted brake drums have been designed for air actuated brakes that permit easier serviceability without requiring the planetary hub reduction to be disassembled to perform normal brake maintenance. Wheel mounted ABS is also an available option for the on road vehicle vocational requirements. A central tire inflation option is available for those vehicles demanding increased floatation in the various rugged off road vocational duty cycles. Carrier differential options include air actuated differential lock, or limited slip, and a wide range of input flanges sizes and styles. Multiple axle pad mounting styles are available with location flexibility on the high strength fabricated axle housing design utilized by this family of steer axles.
Steering tie rods can be fitted either above or below carrier pinion input depending on brake type selected and will help protect this component from external damage in the off road environment.

* Based on the children's book Treasures of the Snow by Patricia Mary St. John. 12-year-old Annette was born into a poor family in Switzerland. Together with her family she lives in a small village in the Alps. She is a sweet girl and dearly loves her little 5-year-old brother Dani, at whose birth their mother died. She also has a best friend, Lucien. Her wonderful friendship with him comes to a crisis when one day Dani gets injured in a terrible accident, which Lucien was unwillingly responsible for, and develops a limp. The happy days turn into a long period of suffering and now Annette has to find strength in her heart to forgive, while Lucien must find a way to prove Annette and the other villagers that he is also a person. And his greatest wish is to find a cure for little Dani, whatever that would cost him, in the name of friendship. And so, little by little Annette and Lucien regain their lost friendship.

Gave it approperiate treat, With conceous it talking keen, It's not ordinary Bean, Keep it care, will guide you When everthing being dark, And you look for What? Dying bird's voice, Bounded me of that doing, Today, sun is too high, And my body, has tired What can a old body can now do? Resting on rest-chair, Suddenly, I rember the same prayer, "When everthing being dark, And you look for What?" voice of bird. I took a step inside, and searched that cordiyard, where that bean must hide. With a little effort, got That sining bean, Withought any termite. I buried it deep in ground, And poured some water, And Waited! Waited! Evening waited! Morning waited! Next day waited! Day after day waited! For magic, what bird siad for? One day my family left me, for their own life, my son and his wife. I begged for death, that night, Waking next morning, I realized there is work, To pour some water, at Bean's grow high, Some weeks later, a leaf Flourished, digging the way Outside, I continue to water, Days after days, some years passed, It now grew strong, And a fruit grew at branch, Hurrly I un-branched it, Watched dying that green fellow, My heart filled with grief, But suddently I realized, I have more bean, I grew them all, And again waited for anoter fruits… Days passed I never let the hope go, No matter I crossed 100 of years, Without being tired, withought Feeling restricted by age…. I grew that plant of hope, Again and again, Through the dark, To see the "What?"

UnitedHealth Group has hiked its 2016 earnings forecast again after its profit swelled 23 percent to nearly $2 billion in the third quarter, helped by gains both in and outside its core insurance business.
The nation's largest health insurer also voiced optimism about next year, when UnitedHealth will have a much smaller presence on the Affordable Care Act's public exchanges. Shares of the insurer soared close to an all-time high Tuesday.
UnitedHealth raised its earnings forecast for 2016 well above Wall Street expectations. It did the same in April.
The company now expects adjusted earnings of about $8 per share, 7 cents better than Wall Street is expecting, according to FactSet.
And it easily beat industry analyst profit projections for the most recent quarter, too.
Operating earnings jumped more than 10 percent to $2.1 billion for the company's UnitedHealthcare business, which sells insurance and runs Medicaid plans. The insurer added nearly a million customers through its employer-sponsored and individual coverage. Medicare Advantage membership grew 12 percent, and total enrollment topped 48 million in the quarter.
Health insurance is UnitedHealth's main business, but it also has been growing its Optum segment, which provides pharmacy benefits management and technology services and runs clinics and doctor's offices. Operating earnings from that segment surged 36 percent to $1.5 billion after jumping 46 percent in the second quarter.
Overall, UnitedHealth earned $1.97 billion on $46.29 billion in total revenue in the third quarter. Adjusted earnings totaled $2.17 per share.
Analysts forecast earnings of $2.08 per share, according to Zacks Investment Research.
UnitedHealth executives said Tuesday that they were comfortable so far with consensus Wall Street forecasts for next year. The company will offer a specific outlook late next month.
Analysts expect, on average, earnings of $9.12 per share in 2017. That implies about 14 percent growth from the insurer's forecast for this year.
UnitedHealth expects to be helped next year by stable medical costs, continued Optum growth and less exposure to the Affordable Care Act's public exchanges.
The insurer has said it expects to lose around $850 million this year from its ACA-compliant individual business, which is a small slice of its total operation. Next year, it plans to sell coverage on exchanges in only three states, down drastically from the 34 states it had operated in this year.
Other insurers also have struggled to develop that business, and defections from the exchanges are expected to hurt customer choice in many markets later this fall, when the enrollment period begins for 2017 plans.
Shares of UnitedHealth Group Inc., based in Minnetonka, Minnesota, jumped more than 6 percent, or $8.79, to $142.92 in midday trading. That moved the stock closer to an all-time high of $144.48 that it hit in July.
The insurer's shares had climbed 14 percent since the beginning of the year, as of Monday. That topped the Dow Jones Industrial Average, of which UnitedHealth is a component.
It also has outpaced the performance of other major insurers like Aetna Inc. and the Blue Cross-Blue Shield carrier Anthem Inc., which are both fighting federal regulators to close multi-billion dollar acquisitions.

Surgeon then puts the implants into the pocket, touching it only with gloves and instruments covered with antibiotic solution. Neither air not skin bacteria are allowed to touch the implants.) I've read that it greatly reduces infection and capsular contraction risks. If not, why?

The AIPC / Ipsos Economic Impact Calculator addresses the fundamental requirement for most centres to measure and report their overall EI to owners, investors and, communities in a consistent, efficient and cost-effective way. Its benefits include:
- a centre-specific orientation that captures all relevant spending
- consistent definitions that ensure comparability, repeatability and credibility
- the global credibility of a respected international research leader
- a minimal cost due to AIPC investment
The AIPC/Ipsos program is supported by an extensive guidebook - available free of charge to all AIPC members - that covers everything from data gathering within recognized statistical parameters to sample sizes, sources of input and categories of business to be sampled.
The actual data gathering according to the prescribed template and using forms provided by Ipsos, will be the responsibility of the centre itself, which it can do either by using its own staff or contracting it out to Ipsos who will then organize member input data, run the model and prepare an analysis to assure the credibility of the result.
The Program Package Outline and updated AIPC Standardized Economic Impact Program Guidebook* are now available (*via the Members Only section). The Guidebook and other Basic Program Components are available free of charge for AIPC Members, and the Basic Program Support cost is charged by Ipsos at 6.000 USD. For details: see the Program Package Outline.
In order to ensure a solid cross section of member results to support the role of the new model as the "go-to" program for consistent and credible EI numbers, the AIPC Board has agreed to support a limited number of AIPC members through December 31, 2019. This means that the first 10 members that sign up to carry out the program before this date will have 25% of the base program costs paid by AIPC – a 1.750 USD value – and the full support of the Ipsos team in organizing sampling schedules, assisting in program execution and running the final data – essentially everything you will need to deliver results short of carrying out the on-site interviews.
Interested members should contact the AIPC Secretariat soon in order to access this limited offer.
This is a huge opportunity to perform one of the most important calculations you need for performance reporting with both the guidance and credibility of Ipsos and AIPC behind you.
*the Economic Impact Research Guidebook and other Basic Program Components are available free of charge for AIPC Members. Basic Program Support cost is charged by Ipsos at 7.000 USD. For details: Program Package Outline.

When the world ends, and you survive it like a giant cockroach or Cher or something, what do you wear afterward? Rodarte's Spring 2010 line, if you're fabulous.
Set against a dystopian, foggy, grit-strewn runway, the sisters Mulleavy presented what is possibly their most well-realized collection in New York on Tuesday. It was clothing fit for a woman living in a wasteland – deconstructed and reconstructed into something that is far more than the sum of the materials that went into it. And those materials were many and varied, and all individually treated and ruined before they were incorporated into the clothing. We saw things as familiar as leather and plaid and as unexpected as cheesecloth, worked into some of the most interesting and intricately constructed clothing of this Fashion Week.
The combination of patterns, textures, and colors in these clothes is enough to make anyone's head spin, but look closely and it's all done with such obvious care and thought that I'm in awe of the post-apocalyptic art that they were able to create out of their many and varied scraps of fabric. These are the kinds of clothes that a casual observer may not understand at first look but that fashion people absolutely salivate over.
As they appear on the runway, most of the dresses may not be particularly starlet-friendly, but I hope that a few stars out there that enjoy challenging, innovative clothing will take the plunge and strut a red carpet or two in some of these dresses. Surely some alterations to make them more buyer-friendly will be made before they go to distribution, and with an edit here or there, I think they would look fantastic on a statuesque risk-taker like, say, Charlize Theron.

There's a lot to appreciate about old cameras. I think they're an art form unto themselves, having to achieve a goal (photography) in a certain way (conveniently, effectively), with a certain set of rules (workable by human hands). The more I explore photography, the more I'm drawn to these classic designs as a way of connecting with history.
Collecting Classic Cameras = Cool
I left the above comment on Down The Road, a blog by Jim Grey in Indiana. He did an excellent post earlier this year on why he collects vintage cameras, and I re-read it again today. Since that time, I've taken the above photo, and have become even more obsessed with photographic shooting techniques, cameras, iPhoneography, photo apps, artists… the list goes on. I say even more obsessed, because I was already far gone in the first place. Here's what Jim says in return:
These classic designs are absolutely a link to history. Imagining what the world was like at the time one of my old cameras was new is part of what makes me collect!
I like the idea that mechanics, functionality and design all come together in these devices from the past, each of which were the height of technology at some point, and that we can still appreciate them today. And even now, as I've pretty much ditched my point-and-shoot camera for my iPhone, the trend continues. I view these vestiges with respect and fascination.

Rimac Renaissance: Prototypes for Housing in Rimac, Peru
Martinez, John David
Bennett, Ralph
MetadataПоказать полную информацию
The physical environment of Rimac, Peru provokes improvements in current living standards. Cultural values and traditions are lost in the deteriorating conditions of the city. This thesis provides housing solutions of modest aspiration to regenerate notions of community by addressing three agendas: a socio-cultural, an urban design, and architectural. The socio-cultural response activates the community by exploring self-help construction, flexibility, and best practices as devices to resolve cultural informalities and insecurities. The urban design proposal incorporates a neighborhood center composed of an institution and building yard to provide resources for learning and training in traditional crafts, construction practices, and city patterns. The architectural agenda proposes an interpretation of traditional Rimac housing typologies as new solutions to infill vacant and abandoned lots. An analysis of the house through incremental growth, the flexibility of spaces, and use patterns provide options for living that promote the development of Rimac, both socially and physically.

Mercedes-Maybach takes exclusivity to a new level
DUBAI, February 13, 2018
The upcoming Geneva Motor Show (March 6 to 18) will see the world premiere of the new Mercedes-Maybach S-Class.
Mercedes-Maybach stands for the ultimate in exclusivity and individuality as the luxury brand combines the perfection of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class with the exclusivity of Maybach.
Now the top model from Mercedes-Benz is even more refined. A new radiator grille, optional two-tone paintwork and new exclusive colour combinations in the interior ensure an even more majestic look, says the company.
A reinterpretation of the Mercedes-Maybach radiator grille with its fine, vertical struts accentuates the front end. The grille was inspired by a pinstriped suit.
The two-tone exterior paint finish is also a classic Mercedes-Maybach theme. In future there will be nine different colour combinations available on request. The double clear coat is available as a further new option for all dark colours, it says.
It creates a brilliant surface finish with a piano lacquer effect and a special impression of depth. The second bodywork clear coat, including intermediate sanding, is intricately applied by hand in the Maybach manufactory by specially trained varnishers.
The exterior look of the top model is rounded off by a new luxury 20-inch multi-spoke wheel. There are also three exclusive 20-inch wheels to choose from for the Mercedes-Maybach, including the wheel with a 20-hole design familiar from the Mercedes-Maybach S-Cabriolet.
Two new exclusive colour combinations are offered in the interior: armagnac brown/black and savanna beige/black. The black Maybach Exclusive nappa leather upholstery appointments can also be ordered with a choice of copper-, gold- or platinum-coloured contrasting topstitching. Also new in the range are trim inserts in designo flowing lines Magnolia.
With a length of 5462 mm and a wheelbase of 3365 mm, the flagship of the Mercedes-Benz model range exceeds the long-wheelbase S-Class Sedan by 20 cm in both dimensions. Rear passengers benefit from this increased size, as well as from standard equipment that includes Executive seats on both left and right and other exclusive details such as innovative voice amplification.
The huge success of the Mercedes-Maybach speaks volumes. Since the market launch of the Maybach in February 2015 over 25,000 Mercedes-Maybach S-Class models have already been delivered to customers. In 2017, too, more than 1 in 10 S-Class models sold was a Mercedes-Maybach. The main markets are China, Russia and the US.
Mercedes-Maybach S-Class will be in available in June 2018 in the Middle East, where customers will be able to pre-order, the company says. - TradeArabia News Service

The loneliest time of my life was when I was studying abroad in Florence, Italy. I had gone abroad with the vague and romantic notions one has about living in a foreign country where anonymity is supposed to be met with serendipity. Feeling unsettled is as physical as it is metaphysical. It is much easier, of course, to believe that our discontent is caused by tangible problems we can solve—and so every next horizon you move towards is Arcadia until you get there. Every city in your future is one terrace higher until you realize you're climbing the mount of purgatory. The abstraction of the people you'll meet and the places you'll be—the self-satisfying and perhaps desperate idealization of a better future—is dangerous. The ideal that is never realized, that is always out of reach, is a betrayal to self, a recurring, insoluble disappointment.
I lived in a dark, windowless room that had only a sliver of a pathway to move through. In the morning I smothered myself with a pillow to block out the fighting screams of Paola and Leo, which was frightening at first, but for the sake of self-preservation, I came to believe that's what Italians did—express themselves with passion that could be mistaken for fury. Even as my Italian neared fluency, I existed as a stranger in their house. The Cappios would come home from work—Leo was a train conductor, Paola a kindergarten teacher—turn on the TV, and sit at the dining table for hours, with frozen pizza, canned tuna, hot dogs with mayonnaise, and cellophane-wrapped cornetti, among other drab and depressing fare.
I remember this time distinctly as a counterpoint—a time I never want to return to. My melancholy existence clarified the forms of nourishment my soul requires, as well as the things that were merely false idols—wayward romantic notions of fulfillment. As the latter category grew, so my notions of the 'the good life' dissolved. Growing up requires this dissolution. Maturity, it seems, is letting go your false ideals of what constitutes goodness, joy, and meaning; sometimes letting go is not enough; sometimes these ideals are erased by their impossibility; absence and negative space are epiphanies of their own. Living abroad, in the land of Italian men and good food (not in my household) and the most incredible art and olive oil, gave me little joy in the absence of community. Majestic churches and azure waters, smoked mozzarella and supple leather, were little consolation for an empty spiritual life. I was looking for all the wrong things.
I write about this time in my life to help myself understand why I am so in love with my community now. The contrast of darker times brings my current friendships and rhythms into relief. All of this is sentimental, I cannot help it. Sometimes sentimentality is a byproduct of gratitude, the overwhelm of abundance, a gift of grace, not of my own doing. I have little to boast about, for I know how fleeting and how fragile relationships can be. One day a solid communion—only joy and purity and the feeling of eternity—and the next, all gone, people leaving, people changing.
But if I were to tell you how joy has punctuated my life, I would tell you (head buried in the most saccharine nostalgia) of the fires that burned in the wake of communion with the people I love. There is nothing subtle, nuanced, or complex about any of this. These fires have blazed, not in embers but in the wild; not sparks over kindling but in revelatory floods. I cannot temper the simple and child-like joy of sitting around a table with people I love, celebrating our lives together, filling our bodies and our souls; indefensible against our excessive appetites and our over-sized hearts. I have put off writing about what gives me so much life and vigor for fear that I would trivialize joy; that this love letter I daily compose in my head would be so achingly cloying that you would think I have no grief in my life, no capacity for deep sorrows, no recognition of brokenness. My own soaring joy scares me even as it spills over. I swallow it back down lest my joy is robbed from me. See, I can only talk around it; I admit, I am swimming in sentimentality.
On Tuesday evening, there were peaches, honeycomb, truffled cheese, bread, homemade plum and peach jam; sweet harissa carrots on a bed of basil, mushroom risotto dotted with peas, golden cauliflower steaks lined up on a tray, piles of red and green vegetables shimmering in a wooden nest. The west-facing sun beamed its harsh light through the windows, casting our bodies and faces into chiaroscuro. We sat down to eat, knowing that in the hours to come, we would not be searching for anything beyond what we had here; that our desires were not stretched beyond this table, but that we had found meaning in existing together, caring for one another, knowing each other, being in the folds of each other's lives. I should not speak for everyone, but the feelings that moved me that night were so large that they felt communal, and were so large because they seemed to be experienced by everyone, collectively.
When we gather like this, we forget the abstract desires that grow out of what we think we don't have, and we meet as we are. Time stops. Candles are lit and blown out; fires glow and then pass into darkness. The peril of joy is its transience, but that is not a good reason for not cherishing it, for remembering it.
In my sleep I am humming paeans to sanctify these ordinary moments of light. Winged joy surprised by its own flight, barreling through inevitable darkness.
Thank you God for this family of mine.

Anti-inflammatory refers to the property of a substance or treatment that reduces inflammation. Anti-inflammatory drugs make up about half of analgesics, remedying pain by reducing inflammation as opposed to opioids, which affect the central nervous system.
Many steroids, to be specific glucocorticoids, reduce inflammation or swelling by binding to glucocorticoid receptors. These drugs are often referred to as corticosteroids.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), alleviate pain by counteracting the cyclooxygenase (COX) enzyme. On its own, COX enzyme synthesizes prostaglandins, creating inflammation. In whole, the NSAIDs prevent the prostaglandins from ever being synthesized, reducing or eliminating the pain.
Some common examples of NSAIDs are: aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen. The newer specific COX-inhibitors are not classified together with the traditional NSAIDs even though they presumably share the same mode of action.
On the other hand, there are analgesics that are commonly associated with anti-inflammatory drugs but that have no anti-inflammatory effects. An example is paracetamol, called acetaminophen in the U.S. and sold under the brand name of Tylenol. As opposed to NSAIDs, which reduce pain and inflammation by inhibiting COX enzymes, paracetamol has recently been shown to block the reuptake of endocannabinoids,[1][2] which only reduces pain, likely explaining why it has minimal effect on inflammation.
Long-term use of NSAIDs can cause gastric erosions, which can become stomach ulcers and in extreme cases can cause severe haemorrhage, resulting in death. The risk of death as a result of use of NSAIDs is 1 in 12,000 for adults aged 16–45.[3] The risk increases almost twentyfold for those over 75.[3] Other dangers of NSAIDs are exacerbating asthma and causing kidney damage.[3] Apart from aspirin, prescription and over-the-counter NSAIDs also increase the risk of myocardial infarction and stroke.[4]
ImSAIDs are a class of peptides being developed by IMULAN BioTherapeutics, LLC, which were discovered to have diverse biological properties, including anti-inflammatory properties. ImSAIDs work by altering the activation and migration of inflammatory cells, which are immune cells responsible for amplifying the inflammatory response.[5][6] The ImSAIDs represent a new category of anti-inflammatory and are unrelated to steroid hormones or non-steroidal anti-inflammatories.
The ImSAIDs were discovered by scientists evaluating biological properties of the submandibular gland and saliva. Early work in this area demonstrated that the submandibular gland released a host of factors that regulate systemic inflammatory responses and modulate systemic immune and inflammatory reactions. It is now well accepted that the immune, nervous, and endocrine systems communicate and interact to control and modulate inflammation and tissue repair. One of the neuroendocrine pathways, when activated, results in the release of immune-regulating peptides from the submandibular gland upon neuronal stimulation from sympathetic nerves. This pathway or communication is referred to as the cervical sympathetic trunk-submandibular gland (CST-SMG) axis, a regulatory system that plays a role in the systemic control of inflammation.[7]
Early work in identifying factors that played a role in the CST-SMG axis lead to the discovery of a seven amino acid peptide, called the submandibular gland peptide-T. SGP-T was demonstrated to have biological activity and thermoregulatory properties related to endotoxin exposure.[8] SGP-T, an isolate of the submandibular gland, demonstrated its immunoregulatory properties and potential role in modulating the cervical sympathetic trunk-submandibular gland (CST-SMG) axis, and subsequently was shown to play an important role in the control of inflammation.
One SGP-T derivative is a three-amino acid sequence shown to be a potent anti-inflammatory molecule with systemic effects. This three-amino acid peptide is phenylalanine-glutamine-glycine (FEG) and its D-isomeric form (feG) have become the foundation for the ImSAID category.[9] Cellular Effects of feG: The cellular effects of the ImSAIDs are characterized in a number of publications. feG and related peptides are known to modulate leukocyte (white blood cells) activity by influencing cell surface receptors to inhibit excessive activation and tissue infiltration.
One lead ImSAID, the tripeptide FEG (Phe-Glu-Gly) and its D-isomer feG are known to alter leukocyte adhesion involving actions on αMβ2 integrin, and inhibit the binding of CD16b (FCyRIII) antibody to human neutrophils.[10] feG has also been shown to decrease circulating neutrophil and eosinophil accumulation, decrease intracellular oxidative activity, and reduce the expression of CD49d after antigen exposure.[11][12][13]
Many bio-actives compounds showed Anti-inflammatory activities on albino rat. Anti-inflammatory activity of Plumbago zylanica consists of Bioactive compound Plumbagin showed high activity in very low concentration.[14]
Anti-inflammatory treatment trials for existing Alzheimer's disease have typically shown little to no effect on halting or reversing the disease.[15][16] Research and clinical trials continue.[17] Two studies from 2012 and 2013 found regular use of aspirin for over ten years is associated with an increase in the risk of macular degeneration.[18][19]
Applying ice, or even cool water, to a tissue injury has an anti-inflammatory effect and is often suggested as an injury treatment and pain management technique for athletes. One common approach is Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation. Cool temperatures inhibit local blood circulation, which reduces swelling in the injured tissue.
In addition to medical drugs, some herbs and health supplements have anti-inflammatory qualities, including devil's claw (Harpagophytum procumbens), hyssop, ginger (Zingiber officinale), turmeric (Curcuma longa), Arnica montana (containing helenalin), and willow bark (containing salicylic acid). Other anti-inflammatory dietary sources include pomegranate (Punica granatum), green tea (Camellia sinensis), cat's claw (Uncaria tometosa and Uncaria guianensis), Indian olibaum (Boswelia serrata), and pineapple bromelain (Ananas comosus).[20] Cannabichromene, a cannabinoid, also has anti-inflammatory effect.[21] Honokiol inhibits platelet aggregation, and works as an inverse agonist at the CB2 receptor. Black seed (Nigella sativa) has shown anti-inflammatory effect due to its high thymoquinone content.[22] St. John's wort's chief constituent, hyperforin, has been found to be a potent COX-1 and 5-LO inhibitor, with anti-inflammatory effect several fold that of aspirin.
Prostaglandins are hormone-like substances that affect the body in variety of ways, also regulating inflammatory mediation. An anti-flammatory diet includes less foods that create inflammation-causing prostaglandins (PGE2) in the body, and more foods that create anti-flammatory prostaglandins (PGE1 and PGE3).[23]
Suggested diets to reduce inflammation include those rich in vegetables and low in simple carbohydrates and fats, such as saturated fats and trans fats.[24] Anti-inflammatory foods include most colorful fruits and vegetables, oily fish (which contain higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids), nuts, seeds, and certain spices, such as ginger. Extra-virgin olive oil contains the chemical oleocanthal that acts similarly to ibuprofen. Those following an anti-inflammatory diet will avoid refined oils and sugars, and show a preference for so-called anti-inflammatory foods in their meal choices.[25][26]
Omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to disrupt inflammation cell signaling pathways by binding to the GPR120 receptor.[27]
Developing research has demonstrated that many of the benefits of exercise are mediated through the role of skeletal muscle as an endocrine organ. That is, contracting muscles release multiple substances known as myokines which promote the growth of new tissue, tissue repair, and various anti-inflammatory functions, which in turn reduce the risk of developing various inflammatory diseases.[28]

Weight Loss Nutrition: Foolproof Dieting Tricks
According to the IDEA Health and Fitness Association, at any given time, up to 24% of men and 40% of women are trying to lose weight.
However, even though so many people are always trying to lose weight, few seem to actually be successful at losing weight and even fewer people keep the weight off.
Too often, individuals will increase their physical activity but fail to significantly change their diet and nutrition.
Millions struggling to lose weight can follow proven weight loss nutrition tips to see greater success.
Don't Let Yourself Go Hungry
One of the common mistakes dieters make is to go for hours without eating anything. While keeping your calorie count low is definitely one of the most important aspects of proper weight loss nutrition, you should never attempt to reduce your intake by simply not eating.
This is because if you go too long without food, it can actually make it harder to lose weight because of the effect it has on your body's blood sugar levels.
You see, your body converts the food you eat into blood sugar, or glucose, which your system uses for energy throughout the day. Your pancreas produces and releases insulin, which is a hormone responsible for carrying glucose into your cells to be used for energy.
However, when you go too long without eating, your body begins to think it needs to go into a more defensive mode and begins storing glucose on your body as fat rather than convert it into energy, making you gain weight.
You should thus avoid going for more than three hours without food and do so by eating several small meals throughout the day rather than three large meals, making sure to include sources of fiber, protein, and fruits and/or vegetables.
This was proven to be an effective way to maintain a healthy weight in a 1998 study conducted at Tufts University, in which subjects who ate small, more frequent meals lost weight while the group who ate large meals did not.
Get Your Rest
As we've established, one of the most important parts of proper weight loss nutrition is keeping your calorie intake low, but sometimes persistent cravings and a hearty appetite get in the way of your dieting goals.
Fortunately, there is an easy and foolproof way to keep your appetite in check: make sure to get at least seven or eight hours of sleep each night.
Sleep affects your appetite because of two hormones: ghrelin and leptin. Ghrelin is responsible for making you feel hungry in order to help you get the calories and nutrients you need to keep your body running correctly, and leptin's job is to tell your body when you are full and have eaten enough.
When you are fully rested, ghrelin and leptin keep each other neatly in check. However, when you don't get enough sleep, these hormones become off-balanced: your ghrelin levels increase, making you feel constantly hungry, and your leptin levels decrease, making it practically impossible for you to feel full.
In a study conducted at Stanford University in 2004, researchers proved this by observing approximately 1,000 subjects' sleeping habits, ghrelin and leptin levels, and weights.
At the end of the study, the researchers discovered that the subjects who had slept fewer than eight hours a night had higher ghrelin levels, lower leptin levels, and higher percentages of body fat than the participants who regularly slept for eight hours every night.
If you want real success with your diet, you should therefore set a goal to get eight hours of solid sleep each night.
Get Enough Protein
Those participating in a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition said the benefits of increasing protein to 30% of total calories included greater satisfaction, less hunger and weight loss.
Other studies show increased protein enhances weight loss, fat loss and improved blood fat levels.
Researchers suggest the higher amount of protein in the diet lead to fewer appetite-inducing hormones reaching the brain to signal hunger. Additionally, the added protein combined with regular exercise can increase muscle mass to help reduce the muscle mass you lose and increase the fat you burn. High-protein diets became extremely popular during the late 90s because of the results, but protein should be consumed in moderation with a balanced diet.
Your Dream Body is Within Your Grasp
If you follow these tips and turn your unhealthy tendencies into the ideal weight loss nutrition habits, you will finally be able to reach your dieting goals and your target weight!
However, sometimes it may seem like you need some extra help–whether it's right at the beginning of your diet or in the middle while you're trying to get over a frustrating plateau.
If this sounds familiar, you should consider adding a diet pill to your routine, since the right product can really help you burn more fat and increase your metabolism. Slimvox is an advanced diet pill for women designed to help you improve your overall effort to lose weight. The key ingredients can help aid your weight loss nutrition by aiding with craving and appetite control.
Also, if you have any weight loss nutrition tips, we would love for you to comment below and share your best tips for eating a healthier, more balanced diet.

The NDSU basketball seasons appeared to have ended with a thud in Sioux Falls. The Bison women were trampled by IUPUI 69-56 to finish Maren Walseth's third year with a record of 6-24.
Meanwhile, the NDSU men, after starting conference play with a 7-1 record, stumbled to a 76-57 loss to seventh seeded IUPUI and were eliminated from the Summit League Tournament in the quarterfinals for the first time since 2012.
Paul Miller led the Bison with 24 points as NDSU falls to a record of 19-11. It is yet to be seen if this team will accept a CBI/CIT offer as remember they declined one last year after falling in the Summit League championship game.
Jeff Kolpack recaps the day from Sioux Falls.

Facebook Makes the Case for Video Ads vs. TV Commercials
Facebook wants more of advertisers' budgets and tells advertisers to cut some TV ad spend to make room.
Facebook is going to great lengths to capture television ad spend by partnering with Nielsen to educate its select group of marketers on the decline in TV watching and the increasing cost of producing TV commercials. The folks at Facebook aren't expecting brands to completely cut out TV advertising. They want to demonstrate that moving even a fraction of the budget to digital yields great returns while also using the social platform's latest ad technology for videos.

21 Colonnade, London, W1
Colonnade is a development of three contemporary mews house converted former industrial/commercial units. The houses combine the elegance of the past with the style of the 21st century
New i.d were commissioned to design and dress one of the three properties which had been converted from office space into luxurious 3 bedroom houses.
The brief given was very open that gave us a chance to be creative and original in our design. During our site visit the high ceilings, open space and industrial warehouse like characteristics of the property really dictated the overall style. With this in mind Amrit Lattimore the designer and project manager designed an interior to emphasise the vast space playing heavily on metals and textures to emanate a warm and inviting feel. The key features of the design include a very eclectic mix of styles, for example a Zinc metal dining table paired with classical chairs and vintage crockery all with very distinctive elements of metal running through. Another key feature which emphasises the space is the use of staggered artwork in the reception area which runs along the height of the chimney breast and immediately creates a 'wow' and draws your attention to the wonderful high ceilings. The use of Jean Paul Gaultier cushions and high end luxury fabrics highlight the vastly sought out and in-vogue location of the property in the heart of Bloomsbury. Overall I would find It hard to describe a singular look for the interior, aesthetically speaking it is a profound mix of styles that all unite together to create an intricate and maybe surprising harmony.

There is a name for an interface forcibly stopping people from starting to work before they have presumably perused something: it is "nagware". We should focus on making Emacs convenient for people, not making people convenient for Emacs. The latter does not work, anyway. Personally, I'd use (message "Check the \"Help/About Emacs\" menu entry for basic usage pointers.") when Emacs is started with file names on the command line. That does not interfere with work since the frame can already display the final layout (apart from the message area). And its message is simple enough to remember the gist of what it was about. You don't have a chance to remember what the complex splash screen was about, in contrast, when your priority was to get it out of your face and be able to start working (and starting Emacs with file names very much implies that you intend to start it for the purpose of doing some work). -- David Kastrup, Kriemhildstr. 15, 44793 Bochum

I join everyone in our company in welcoming Counting Crows to Capitol."

New iDownloader Pro Is A Mobile Safari And Download Manager For The iPhone And iPad
iDownloader Pro - Universal Downloader & Download Manager ($1.99) by Apps2be is a mobile Safari replacement with an emphasis on downloads for the iPhone and iPad. As such, the application provides a basic in-app browser, a file manager, and an easy way to save various file formats to your iDevice. It's a solid offering, but sadly it's one that's severely hampered by Apple's own limitations.
As a browser, iDownloader Pro is surprisingly fast. The application won't be replacing Terra Browser, or even mobile Safari, just yet, but it still handled the websites we threw at it with speed and grace. The iDownloader Pro app comes with basic navigational controls (forward, backward, stop, reload, export, etc.) but doesn't yet support complex multi-touch controls, as other apps like Dolphin Browser do. Thankfully, the app does come with full bookmarking capabilities.
However, the browser is more of a means to an end, as iDownloader Pro is intended to be a downloading powerhouse for iOS rather than a portal to the Internet. As such, the application makes it easy to download a myriad of file types, including TXT, DOC, PDF, PPT, XLS, RTF, MP3, and a few others.
Each of these, when downloaded, is saved to the downloads folder, as well as the app's file manager. This file manager allows for the creation of subdivided folders, making it easy to organize and maintain a complex repository of content.
Files can also be renamed and moved at will. In this sense, iDownloader Pro is perhaps as close as you can get to a desktop style file manager on the iPad (without jailbreaking your device, that is).
Sadly, jailbreaking is the talk of the hour, as iDownloader Pro is severely limited by what can and cannot be accomplished on the iPad with Apple's restrictions. Getting downloaded files to your computer is simple with iTunes file sharing, but moving content to other applications is still a pain.
This isn't the application's fault, but rather the iPhone's, as Apple makes it difficult to load files freely without first syncing with iTunes. Similarly, there's no support for archived material, like ZIP or RAR files. Adding this would greatly increase the value of the application, not to mention the business potential of its offerings.
However, with full support for various video, text, music, and image formats, iDownloader Pro is still a great download manager for the iPhone and iPad. The app is also only $1.99 in the App Store, making it a great bargain.
If you do loads of media downloading on the iPad, iDownloader Pro will greatly simplify your life, and at a low price, too. In this sense, as long as your expectations match with the app's feature set, you'll find a lot to like in iDownloader Pro. However, if you're expecting a complex unzipper with unlimited downloading potential, you might best look elsewhere.

It's billed as the world's biggest traveling exhibit of carefully preserved humans.
"Mummies of the World" opened Thursday to the public at the California Science Center.
"We are excited to launch 'Mummies of the World' in Los Angeles, a city that is lauded for its commitment to arts and culture," said Marc Corwin, president of American Exhibitions Inc. "As witnessed in the phenomenal success of the King Tut Exhibit at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art just five years ago, Southern California residents have an appetite for antiquities, which give us a glittering glimpse into the past."
The mummies arrived at LAX las month in climate-controlled trucks. They came from more than 20 museums and seven countries.
The exhibit will reveal how the scientific study of mummies provides a window into the lives of ancient people from every region of the world.
"There's far more to mummification than the wrapped Egyptians people automatically think of," Heather Gill-Frerking, the exhibit's director of science and education, told the LA Times. "We wanted to present as many different types of mummies from as many different environments as we can."
More from the Times' report:
Local news from across Southern California
She cites exhibit subjects such as the Detmold child, a Peruvian child mummy that dates back 6,420 years, or Baron von Holz, an 11th century nobleman discovered in the family crypt of his castle. Don't forget the entire 18th century Orlovits family, found in a church crypt in rural Hungary. The animal exhibits include a mummified howler monkey from Argentina and a Saharan desert lizard mummy. "We wanted to present the wide spectrum of mummification that exists, both natural and artificial," says Gill-Frerking, pointing to the fact that natural environments such as deserts, bogs and glaciers can preserve the dead just as effectively as the culturally and spiritually motivated embalming practices of humans.
The collection includes ancient mummies and artifacts from Asia, Oceania, South America and Europe as well as ancient Egypt. Some of the exhibit's humans, animals and artifacts date to about 6,000 years ago.
The exhibition also demonstrates how mummification is often a natural process; one which occurs in hot, dry desert sands of Peru or resulted from extreme acts of nature as in the eternal ice of the Italian Alps.
The display includes Capuchin Monk mummies on loan from the world- renowned Museum of The Catacombs of Palermo and Egyptian antiquity gallery second to none, with mummies and artifacts dating as far back as 6500 B.C., according to American Exhibitions.
The exhibit runs through November.

To say that not all Android devices are created equally is a nightmarish understatement. While it is very cool that there's a shape and size of handset to suit everyone's needs, it does create confusion. To make things even more confusing, when you go to use Android on any of these different devices, you run the risk of it looking and feeling different to what you're used to.
As it turns out, there are several different distributions of Android that are available, depending on which manufacturer you go with. Each of these distributions still run your apps in very much the same way, but there are some basic navigation differences that can be jarring at first.
Stock Android
The Stock Android Experience is what Google releases when they make a new version of the mobile operating system. Google lays out some pretty basic rules to make sure that your apps run the same way, but lets the manufacturers take this as an example and allows them to run with it. Unless you are purchasing one of the Nexus devices, you won't see many new phones running the stock Google experience. Currently, there are very few non-Nexus devices out there running stock. In fact, of the 900,000 Android devices being activated daily, it is expected that less than 10% of them are Stock Android.
The Stock UI for Android 4.0 was a big change from the previous versions. For the first time, users had control over what icons could be on both sides of the launcher. Those icons could even be folders, which had also changed dramatically. Folders can be created just by dropping on icon on top of another, and you can have up to 16 icons in any given folder. All of the graphics and color schemes across the UI were changed to simple colors and thin lines. The lockscreen is still only customizable when you want to add personal contact information, but you now also have access to the camera from the lock screen.
With Stock Android you get a few default Google apps, and access to Google Play in order to do the rest. For a technical user that enjoys deep customization without anyone getting in the way, the Stock experience is a glorious tabula rasa. If you are new to the Android ecosystem, or not all that sure about which apps are the best for what, you have to rely on search results in Google Play or recommendations from friends to get you more.
The Motorola Experience
In the early days of Android, the Motorola branded experience was called Motoblur. Unfortunately the experience was widely disliked, mostly because the software often got in the way of the user. Steps were added on every level of the OS that made accomplishing even the simplest of tasks take longer. Fortunately, the team at Motorola have done away with Motoblur and replaced it with an all new approach to the Android experience.
In many ways, the Motorola experience closely resembles Stock Android. The navigation, folders, and launcher are all nearly identical. The colors and icons for the Motorola experience are all different. Motorola focuses on flat, sharp colors and custom icons for apps like the camera and the phone functions. The lock screen has four icons, allowing you to open the phone, the SMS manager, or just the camera. The settings menu is laid out in nearly the same way as Stock, but with different icons and slightly different spacing.
What really sets the Motorola experience apart from the rest is the WebTop. I'm no stranger to calling my phone a tiny computer, but Motorola phones can literally be connected to a monitor and used as a proper computer. With a Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, or one of Motorola's Lapdocks, you gain access to a UI that works on a larger screen and a desktop version of the Mozilla Firefox browser.
Samsung TouchWiz
With their Galaxy line of phones, which include the S2, S3, and Note, Samsung quickly became one of the top Android manufacturers in the world. Their devices are usually top of the line hardware, which is wrapped up in Samsung's completely customized version of Android. From the ground up, Samsung TouchWiz offers a completely unique approach to the Android phone.
TouchWiz 4.0 is designed for deep personalization. You can choose what apps are on the lockscreen, or a different wallpaper for the lockscreen and the homescreen. The lockscreen in particular can have four different apps to launch from, as well as live weather information. On top of these, there are dozens of settings that are off by default. These features can be activated to further personalize your device. Visually, TouchWiz is setup in its own unique way as well. The app drawer for the launcher is on the right hand side of the device instead of the center. The settings menu is laid out in the same basic way as Stock, but the volume of additional features causes the placement of some settings to be displaced.
Some things in TouchWiz aren't quite as simple as they are in stock. Creating folders, for example, requires you to first create a folder and then populate it with the icons you wish. Additionally, you can't place icons from the launcher straight onto the launcher panel. Taking a screenshot does not use the default key combination of the volume down and power, which is currently the only version of Android 4.0 or higher that doesn't follow that key combination.
HTC Sense UI
Long before Android, HTC was making smartphones. Their line of Windows Mobile devices pre-Android had a custom theme that was called HTC Sense. Over the last few years HTC has implemented deep integration with Android that allows them to brand their Android devices with a unique Sense experience that can't be gotten anywhere else. HTC has accomplished this by partnering with many other companies to offer exclusive software options. Currently, HTC's partnership with (and controlling stake in) Beats by Dre allows them to offer a custom audio experience that is exclusive to the HTC Sense platform.
Sense UI works almost exactly like Stock Android, but looks wildly different. The lockscreen, launcher, and settings all function in very much the same way. HTC has visually changed the way the folders work, but not the way they behave. The lockscreen is a slide up instead of a slide right or left, and you pull icons to the ring to launch them. The launcher lacks the Play Store shortcut, and many of the system apps have custom Sense icons. The icons for the settings area are all different, and the menus include HTC's theme engine, which allows you to change the visual aspects of the entire OS based on a selection provided by HTC.
Rather than allow you to set you own icons for the lockscreen, Sense UI pulls whatever apps are on your launcher. This works great, unless you have folders on your launcher. If you do, the launch action on the lockscreen just opens the folder. HTC's photo gallery app is setup completely differently from Stock, placing the order of operations for things like sharing multiple items in a different order. Additionally, if you take a screenshot on a Sense device, you have to go to the Gallery to share it, instead of just sharing from the notification.
Final Thoughts
All of the examples here are from Android 4.0. This is because none of the OEM's have managed an Android 4.1 update since the latest version was released, but also because it is not anticipated that the manufacturers will need to change their existing design and implementation for such a small update. The next batch of devices from these manufacturers are expected to look and work like we've seen here, with only minor differences if there are any at all.
Despite the visual and functional chaos of Android, apps run the same on all of the smartphones because of the way Android works. HTC, Motorola, Samsung, and many other manufacturers are free to create an experience that encourages users to stick with them when the user is ready for their next phone. Each OEM brings something to the table that the other companies aren't offering right now, but together they make the Android ecosystem grow exponentially every day.

TORONTO, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Canadian miner Teck Resources Ltd wants to regain its investment-grade credit rating but expects it will need to reduce its debt by some $1.5 billion to $2 billion to achieve that goal, Chief Financial Officer Ron Millos said on Tuesday.
Moody's Investors Service downgraded Teck, the world's second-biggest exporter of metallurgical coal, to junk last September, blaming weak commodity prices and the company's heavy capital spending.
Credit downgrades typically drive up the cost of borrowing for companies, as some big investors will only buy investment-grade bonds.
Reducing Teck's debt by this margin will take "some time and improvement in commodity prices and proceeds from asset sales," Millos said at the Mines and Money conference in Toronto.
The company has been working to reduce its debt, which stood at $6.97 billion at the end of June, down from $9.6 billion at the end of 2015.
Teck is working on putting some infrastructure assets, including the Waneta Dam and Ridley coal terminal in British Columbia, "into a position that if we get a price that makes sense for us we, would act on it," Millos said. Such deals could be time consuming to close, he added.
Teck, which also mines zinc and copper, has several non-core exploration projects that it could sell. Those properties could generate "hundreds of millions of dollars", but the current market is challenging, Millos said.

text: From a Newsweek essay by Princeton writing professor Evan Thomas on "assessing how boys and girls influence each other": "After Dartmouth went coed in the '70s, said [a] dean, she had hoped that the women would civilize the men. Instead, the opposite happened: the men made ruffians of the women...The women [in my writing class at Princeton] are strong and confident and often outperform the boys. They are as career-minded and focused as their male peers. But there are some shadows. Not a few of them seem sad about a social system that prizes the one-night hookup and downplays (and indeed has pretty well eliminated) courtship. There is probably less heedless college sex than parents fear, and we should be thankful for the confidence and toughness that many girls show. Still, it's too bad that the boys have not progressed as far as the girls. The Dartmouth dean was right: the girls could have a civilizing effect on the boys. But I don't think it will happen until the girls insist on it—that the boys treat them with more respect." Thoughts? [Newsweek]
