Hillary Clinton fired up her 2016 presidential campaign with a sweeping, estrogen-packed speech at the Women in the World Summit in New York City on Thursday, telling the crowd at Lincoln Center, "There has never been a better time in history to be born female."
The former secretary of state began with a personal story about her mother, "my earliest inspiration and my guiding light," she said. "She had a childhood none of us would want," she said, describing how her mother had been mistreated and abandoned in her youth. "I didn't know this growing up. I just knew she was my mom," she recalled. "As I got a little older and heard about her story, I was stunned. I said, 'How could you have survived?'"
Clinton said her mother told her about "those moments of kindness that kept her going" in her childhood, such as a teacher who shared food with her at school, pretending she had brought too much food for herself, when really she recognized a child in need. "When I was old enough to understand the challenges my own mother faced, that lit a spark," Clinton said.
She referenced her famous 1995 speech at the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing—when she said "human rights are women's rights and women's rights are human rights"—and said much progress has been made since then. She cited laws against domestic violence and "significant strides in closing gaps for women and girls." She told the crowd, "You're here, understanding there is a movement, a necessary movement, that requires you to be involved in advancing the rights of women and girls."
She said a girl born in Tanzania 20 years ago "could not hope to one day own or inherit property—today she can." If that same girl had been born in Nepal, she said, there was a "tragically high chance" that she and her mother could have died in childbirth. "Today that's far less likely," she said. She pointed to Rwanda, which has a higher percentage of women in Parliament than anywhere in the world.
Nonetheless, she said, "despite all this progress, we're just not there yet." She said secondary school "remains out of reach for so many girls around the world" and that despite a drop in maternal-mortality rates, too many women are still denied access to safe childbirth. Clinton discussed a lack of quality affordable childcare, unequal pay for women, inflexible work schedules, and no guaranteed paid leave for mothers of newborns.
She noted that the U.S. ranks 65th out of 142 nations on equal pay. "Imagine that," she said. "We should be number one." Clinton said that when she talks to men about this, "which I frequently do," she reminds them: If it were their wife, sister, or mother getting taken advantage of at work, they would want to do something about it. "When women are held back, the country is held back. When women get ahead, everyone gets ahead."
The full participation of women and girls in society is "the unfinished business of the 21st century," she said. She drew applause when she said women deserve the right to make their own health-care choices, not to have those choices "taken away by an employer like Hobby Lobby."
In her wide-ranging speech, she also addressed sexual violence, saying every woman deserves safety and security and that "we have to guarantee that our institutions respond to the continuing scourge of sexual assault." Further, she said, "We move forward when gay and transgender women are embraced as colleagues and friends, not fired from their jobs because of who they love." And, "we move forward when women who came to this country in search of a better life can earn a path to citizenship."
Some people who "offer themselves as leaders" have a very different view, she said in an apparent reference to her rivals, adding that they prefer to deport mothers for fear of getting blasted on talk radio. Clinton also congratulated Loretta Lynch on her historic confirmation as the nation's first African-American female attorney general.
"We have seen women all over the world become agents of change," she continued. "I've met the women in Liberia who forced an end to a bloody civil war and then took their places in the government." She added, "Here in the U.S., we saw fast-food workers marching the streets," asking for a "living wage and a chance at the American dream." She implored the audience, "You now must be an agent of change as well."
In closing, she returned to her mother, saying her mom was born before women had the right to vote, and that she never graduated from college. "But she was determined to give me opportunities far beyond any she had ever known," she said, noting that she wants her granddaughter (whom she described at one point as "amazing and fabulous") to have those same opportunities.
"I'm grateful that there is now a new burst of energy around the rights and opportunities of women and girls," Clinton said. "There is still much more to be done…but if we get to work, we will get it done together."
The annual Women in the World Summit, now in its sixth year, highlights global issues through the voices of newsmakers, activists, artists, rebels, and crime fighters. One of those activists introduced Clinton to the audience on Thursday. Beatrice Biira described her journey from an impoverished rural village in Uganda to college in America, thanks to a dairy goat her family received from the charity Heifer International. When the family made some money from selling the goat's milk, Biira got to go to school and change her fate. She later became an intern for Clinton in the Senate, and now she works for Heifer in New York, helping get goats to other families in need.
Biira said that when she was an intern for Clinton, "She told me that my resilience reminded her of civil-rights activist Harriet Tubman. If she believed in me that much, who am I to not believe in myself?"

text: When Tarek and Christina see a 4-bedroom house in Garden Grove coming up for auction at a super low starting bid of $250K, they convince an investor that this is a good, cheap property to buy and flip. Tarek and Christina head to a foreclosure auction and buy the house sight-unseen for $280K. They meet their contractor Dan Messina for a walkthrough and realize the house is a major money pit. There is no master bedroom, a kitchen that needs a complete remodel, and a backyard that needs a complete re-haul, which includes fixing the pool and pool house. With the construction bid at 80K, this is the most they've ever spent on a flip. And when their investor Pete De Best stops in for a visit during construction, he begins to lose faith in the project. With their investor breathing down their necks, this double trouble flip has Tarek and Christina surfing the brink of disaster. Will they Flip or Flop?

The apparent flaw in the punishment system
Now first off my main account is Plat IV nothing to high but high enough to make the relevance of this post worth looking at in regards to the issues that I've noticed, I should also note that I've played LoL for around four years all in all so I have seen the game progress all in all for the better which is an excellent sign. I have smurfed many accounts, and quite frequently hit platinum without much of a hiccup, and I accept that this is where my skill level resides at the moment, so don't get the impression that I'm implying that these players are holding me back ect. So all in all I have noticed a huge decrease in the amount of flaming/toxic players in the game which is great but from personal experience I have had to deal with way to many people who won't say a word the entire game but will either; A - Flat out intent, and suicide, and often afk farm ect. B - Tilt so badly over one persons comment that they then proceed to do the above. C - The worst kind of player that will participate in all of the above to such a degree that it doesn't come across as intentional, yet everyone in the game is fully aware of what they are doing. Now what disgusts me more than anything is that I experience this WAY MORE in platinum than any other rank I've achieved and I've heard similar reports of similar behavior happening in low Diamond, I find it so bizarre that we have managed to eliminate a huge proportion of the flamers yet the players (In my opinion) whom are the most destructive to a game, community & the way they sneak there way around a ban by not saying anything in game. I'm aware that if I player gets reported enough that there games will be manually reviewed if I'm correct in saying? But honestly I think having such a mentality for even more than a couple of games should at the very least warrant a relatively severe punishment as I and I imagine a large proportion of the community would agree, that this form of behavior is far more toxic than any flamer (In most cases) and if anything just antagonizes people to flame them for trolling whether there rage is justified or not it's understandable to see why some people struggle to remain cool in such situations. So I suppose basically is there any way that we could implement a system that allows games to be manually reviewed more often and with less reports, and help cut down on these last remaining dregs of the community, while increasing the punishment for such behavior rather than the normal chat bans into a 14 day suspension as the behavior is of a different class all together. Or is there already a system in place if so how does it work? Cause as far as I can see it's failing to eliminate a large proportion of these players. Look forward to hearing your replies and opinions on the matter, and let's keep things civilized. Peace out :D

Financial Tips and Ideas from WireLend:
Budgeting is the best way of controlling your money to utilize. As a common routine, this is done by listing where your money goes including the money used for foods, transportation, bills and savings. Many find this effective to avoid unnecessary spending. Those who are strict with their financial needs are constantly reminding themselves of their budgets by placing their budget plans on common places in the home like on a refrigerator or near phones.? ? ?
Avoid Burn Out
Stress is a killer. Between heart disease, insomnia, or just plain fatigue you're not at your best when you're too burned out to function. So it takes to make a little space for yourself. Meditation can be an effective tool. Whether it takes one minute or one hour, the time you spend recharging yourself is worth it. You'll deal with problems better and have more patience to devote to the people you care about. Use free online guided meditations to start and check out videos and books from your local library. The change will be immense.

No matter how many times we test them, it still amazes us how easy it is to make power with GM's LS series of engines. Even something as ordinary as a high-mileage 5.3L will respond to boost, and do so with gusto! Lately, the hot ticket is to grab a 5.3L truck engine from the junkyard, change the cam and add a turbo, and you have the makings of one serious powerhouse. Yes, folks, turbo LS engines are the hottest things going right now, and because of that, a multitude of aftermarket exhaust options are available, the latest of which are Hooker's new Turbo Exhaust Manifolds, which we will be testing here.
First, some background information. For those unfamiliar with turbocharging, the concept is simple. A turbo consists of a pair of impellers, the turbine and compressor, with a common shaft connecting the two. The exhaust from your engine is used to spin the turbine wheel. Since it's coupled to the compressor wheel, both wheels spin at the same speed. As the compressor wheel spins, it draws air in and forces it through the compressor housing and into the engine, thus taking exhaust energy, which is usually wasted, and using it to drive an impeller that supercharges the engine. The compressor continues to add air, which in turns creates more exhaust, adding even more air and exhaust. Without a wastegate that allows some of the exhaust to escape and limit the pressure, this cycle would continue until the engine blew up from excessive boost. Also, since compressing the air also increases the temperature, turbo systems often employ intercooling to lower the air temperature back near ambient (or below ambient if using ice water). Intercooling simply involves running the heated air through an air-to-air, or air-to-water heat exchanger (much like a radiator).
Now, back to our test engine. Since we were turbocharging the LS, naturally we had to grab a truck load of forged internals and heavy-duty hardware, right? Wrong! This turbo combination contained nothing more elaborate than what came from the junkyard. Not that you can't make even more power with the proper rods and pistons—it's just that the stock stuff will take you a long way before things go south (check out the Big Bang Theory engine dyno series).
When snatched from the yard, the 5.3 was a typical high-mileage unit and has since been used tirelessly for dyno-testing. During a recent cylinder-head test, we replaced the stock head bolts and gaskets with Fel Pro and ARP components, but the remainder of the internal components remain stock (including the wimpy stock LM7 cam). For this test, we upgraded the intake to a TrailBlazer SS unit, installed a 90mm throttle-body, and added 89-pound injectors. Equipped with Hooker 1 7/8-inch long-tube headers, the normally-aspirated 5.3L produced 359 hp at 5,200 rpm and 384 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 rpm. Time to bring on the Hookers!
Off came the headers and on went the Hooker turbo manifolds. The first thing we noticed about the new manifolds was plug access. This is an important point, as many of the tubular turbo manifolds have a reputation of limiting plug access and burning plug wires. What good is a turbo system if you have to keep replacing burnt plug wires? The Hooker manifolds were as easy to install as their factory counterparts. The hefty, cast-iron manifolds should have no trouble outlasting the rest of the engine. They also excel at keeping the heat energy in the exhaust and channeling it to the turbo. Using a crossover (actually, under) tube, the exhaust from the driver-side (right) manifold feeds the back of the passenger-side manifold. The exhaust from each side is merged in the passenger-side manifold and allowed to flow through a single 3-inch exit. The exit features a V-band flange that allowes us to secure the mounting for our T4 turbo (this piece is not provided with the manifolds). The T4 mounting tube also featured a provision for the Turbosmart Hyper-Gate 45 wastegate.
With our mainfolds in position, we obviously needed a turbo to go with our manifolds. Since we had it handy, we used the T4-based Precision 7675. Though it is capable of supporting north of 1,100 hp, it has served us well time and time again at significantly reduced power levels. We weren't looking to Big Bang this engine, but just needed to add sufficient boost to demonstrate the merits of our Hookers. The Precision turbo was teamed with an air-to-water intercooler we pirated from our Procharger testing on a 540-inch big-block Chevy. Having exceeded 1,300 hp with the core on the Blueprint 540 Power Adder crate motor, we knew that, like the turbo, this intercooler was more than sufficient for our little junkyard 5.3. All it took to connect the turbo, intercooler, and throttle-body was a few sections of aluminum tubing and a handful of couplers and clamps. One of the sections of tubing that we had from previous testing even featured a Race Port blow-off valve from Turbosmart. That's why we never throw anything away!
With the Holley HP ECU still in control of our 89-pound injectors, we jumped in and tuned the new turbo combination. The wastegate was configured with a 10-psi spring, which resulted in a maximum pressure of 10.7 psi at the power peak. We ran ambient-temperature dyno water through the Procharger intercooler core for this test, and we purposely kept the total ignition timing at a pump-gas-friendly 19 degrees (at the power peak). After dialing in the timing and air/fuel ratio, we were rewarded with peak numbers of 602 hp at 5,700 rpm and 614 lb-ft of torque at 4,600 rpm. Taking a look at the power curves (see graph), the turbo system enhanced the power output significantly through the entire rev range. Adding more than 240 hp and 230 lb-ft of torque to your stock 5.3 shows just how amazing turbocharging is. Having those gains occur through the entire curve means you will never be at a loss for power. What this combination now needs to make it complete is a cam upgrade—such as Brian Tooley Racing or Lil John's Motorsport Solutions Stage 2—which have been shown to add more than 120 hp at the same boost level. If you have a 5.3L that you're looking to turbocharge and want manifolds that fit, don't burn plug wires, and flat-out work, you would do well to bring on the Hookers!
Graph 1: 5.3L LM7-Na vs Hooker Turbo Manifolds (10.7 psi)
Pulled from a local LKQ Pick a Part, this 5.3 engine was left internally stock. The modifications made before dyno testing included a TrailBlazer SS intake and 92-mm throttle-body, larger injectors, and long-tube, Hooker headers. Run in this trim, the normally aspirated 5.3 produced 359 hp at 5,200 rpm and 384 lb-ft of torque at 4,200 rpm. After installation of the Hooker manifold and Precision 7675 turbo (at 10.7 psi), the power output jumped to 608 hp at 5,700 rpm and 641 lb-ft of torque at 4,700 rpm.

Sierra States welcomes the transfer of course work from accredited institutions. (Some institutions include those that have been accredited by an agency that is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation or CHEA. Outside the U.S., a provincial or national authority such as the Ministry of Education usually approves some institutions.) In order to request this transfer, you should arrange for an official transcript (signed and sealed) to be mailed directly from the previous institution to Sierra States University's Registrar's Office.
Credit is evaluated on a course-by-course basis, requiring that course descriptions and credit values be comparable. Only work earned with a grade of "C" or higher is transferable; however, grades from transfer credits do not compute into Grade Point Averages (GPA). Grade Point Averages are computed solely on courses completed at Sierra States University.
In addition, Sierra States University takes steps to ensure that course work taken at the previous institution is comparable to the course work offered by Sierra States University. These steps include one or more of the following:
Demonstration of achievement by means of comprehensive examinations;
Review of syllabi, faculty credentials, grading standards, and other relevant learning resources at the sending institution; and
Analysis of historic experience regarding the success of transfers from the sending institution.
If a student wishes to apply transfer credit to his/her program, the transfer should be arranged immediately upon receiving your letter of acceptance, and before registering for courses at Sierra States University.
Generally, fifty percent of the quarter hours in your undergraduate program must be completed at Sierra States in order to qualify for graduation. More than 8 units cannot be transferred into a masters program at Sierra States University, and 12 units for a doctoral program. Depending upon the program and circumstances, the number of transferable credits may vary.
Sierra States University has not entered into an articulation or transfer agreement with any other college or university.
AP Credit Policy – Sierra States University
Sierra States University acknowledges the merits of the Advanced Placement Program, sponsored by the College Board and administered by Educational Testing Service, and will grant students credit for AP exams taken during their high-school years (i.e., grades 9 through 12 [or the equivalent]).
To receive credit, a student must earn a minimum score of 4 on an AP exam whose content is deemed comparable to that of a course currently offered by Sierra States. (In some cases, an AP score of 3 may be accepted.)
Sierra States reserves the right to determine:
– (1) whether a given AP exam's content is suitably and sufficiently comparable
– (2) whether a score lower than 4 on a given exam will be acceptable for credit
– (3) how much total AP credit will be counted toward a student's degree requirements
Notice Concerning Transferability of Credits and Credentials Earned At Our Institution
The transferability of credits you earn at Sierra States University is at the complete discretion of an institution to which you may seek to transfer. Acceptance of the degree, diploma, or certificate you earn in your program is also at the complete discretion of the institution to which you may seek to transfer. If the credits, degree or certificate that you earn at this institution are not accepted at the institution to which you seek to transfer, you may be required to repeat some or all of your coursework at that institution. For this reason you should make certain that your attendance at this institution will meet your educational goals. This may include contacting an institution to which you may seek to transfer after attending Sierra States University to determine if your credits, degree or certificate will transfer.

Without Izabela, I would not be as successful as I am in my current executive position. Her coaching has helped me to be more self-confident and assertive and to skillfully navigate difficult situations and conversations. Izabela always has the right words at the right time and her advice has always been very helpful.Cristina Miranda Zerr, Head of Communication, BODE Chemie, HARTMANN GROUP
In our three years of working together, Izabela has helped me to gain a better understanding of myself and other people and she showed me my strengths and weaknesses I wasn't aware of before. She helped me remove the roadblocks which were hindering my progress and she motivated me to improve every day, to self-reflect and to be more open to feedback. Her support was the best thing that could happen to me because working with her gave me clarity about myself, and this self-awareness led to increased emotional intelligence, better decision making, stronger communication, and healthier relationships. I recommend Izabela to anyone who needs a coach to help them work on their personal brand, communication skills, leadership skills or soft skills.Jens Sulzbacher, Team Leader at tesa

Zovirax Ointment Overdose
Although rare, it is possible to overdose on Zovirax ointment. Because only a small amount of the active ingredient is absorbed into the bloodstream, an overdose is unlikely, provided the drug is used properly. However, if a person inadvertently takes a very large dose of the medicine by mouth, possible symptoms of a Zovirax ointment overdose can include agitation, seizures, or kidney damage.
Zovirax Ointment Overdose: An IntroductionZovirax® ointment (acyclovir ointment) is a medication that is used to treat genital herpes and cold sores. As with all medicines, it is possible for a person to take too much Zovirax ointment. An overdose, however, is unlikely if the medication is used properly. The specific effects of the overdose will vary, depending on a number of factors, such as how much Zovirax ointment was taken and whether it was taken with any other medicines, drugs, or alcohol.
Symptoms of a Zovirax Ointment OverdoseIf a person uses too much Zovirax ointment on the skin, there will probably be no overdose symptoms (and no problems), as only a small amount of acyclovir (the active ingredient in it) is absorbed through the skin into the bloodstream. If a person or child inadvertently takes a very large dose of Zovirax ointment by mouth, overdose symptoms are possible. These symptoms might include:
- Agitation
- Coma
- Seizures
- Lethargy
- Kidney damage.
However, an entire tube of Zovirax ointment only contains 750 mg of acyclovir. It would probably take several tubes of Zovirax ointment taken by mouth to cause any overdose symptoms.
In any case, it is important that you seek medical attention immediately if you believe that you may have overdosed on Zovirax ointment.

North Adams School Committee Approves Superintendent Search Panel
NORTH ADAMS, Mass. — The School Committee on Thursday took the first steps in finding a new superintendent by approving a search committee and job description.
The city hopes to have a new superintendent of schools in place by July 1 to replace James Montepare, who is retiring after more than 40 years in the school system.
The Massachusetts Association of School Committees is providing technical assistance and will be doing a first pass on applicants to ensure their qualifications and eligibility, but it will be up to the 11-member search committee to narrow the field to a few finalists to recommend to the School Committee.
Appointed on Thursday to the search committee are community members Maria "Toni" Diamond, Mary Lou Accetta and Howard "Jake" Eberwein. Parents appointed are the Rev. David Anderson and Jennifer Bernard. The administration and staff representatives are Greylock Principal Sandy Cote, 21st Century Site Coordinator Noella Carlow, Drury High teacher Stephanie Kopala, Colegrove Park teacher James Holmes and school Building and Facilities Manager James "Matt" Neville. City Councilor Joshua Moran was appointed to the committee by council President Benjamin Lamb.
Vice Chairwoman Heather Boulger expressed some disappointment that the committee was heavily weighted to the educational side, noting that the three community members had academic backgrounds while there were only two parents.
Diamond is a retired Berlin, N.Y., superintendent who grew up in North Adams and returned seven or eight years ago; Acetta is special education director at McCann Technical School who left the School Committee last year and Eberwein is dean of graduate and continuing education at Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts and former superintendent of the Pittsfield Public Schools.
Anderson, pastor of First Baptist Church, has a child at Colegrove Park and Bernard, a psychologist with the Brien Center, has a child at Drury High.
Other than the parents, "there isn't a community representative," she said, feeling the committee should have had more input from other district partners.
"I think of a community as more like our business partners, like Mass MoCA or a social service agency integrated with our programs," she said. "I just wanted to put it out there."
School Committee member John Hockridge was more concerned with having five of the 11 members employees of the school district.
"I know the School Committee at the end makes the choice but here are staff who are in effect interviewing and choosing their boss," he said. "It seems a little uncomfortable to me."
Mayor Richard Alcombright responded that the School Committee would do the hiring and that having staff and faculty on the search committee was the norm.
The template for the committee had been provided by the MASC and in consultation with district's point person there, Patricia Correira, he said.
The mayor said he also had tried to appoint representatives in line with the School Committee's discussion of committee's makeup. Ensuring that MCLA was represented, for example.
Initially, there had been three school district representatives but the number was bumped up to five, with the teachers being nominated in consultation with the NATA.
"There's a broad spectrum of the district with all the schools having a voice," said the mayor.
The MASC advised not seating a serving School Committee member because the committee should be the final voice on the candidates.
"It just gives one person on the committee a skewed interest coming in when the committee gets the three or four finalists," said Alcombright.
Boulger said she was "pleasantly surprised" with the people serving but wanted her concerns on the makeup of the committee to be noted.
"My biggest concern was there would be a lot of conflicts but most of these people seem pretty neutral," she said.
The committee also approved the language of the job posting, which will be posted online by MASC and the Massachusetts Association of School Superintendents.
The only language quibble was over retaining "eligible for licensure" in Massachusetts or requiring candidates to be already licensed. It was decided to leave the language so as not lose good, potential candidates. Montepare also noted that superintendents applying from New York or Vermont would fall under "eligible for licensure."
The salary range was set at $125,000 to $135,000, with benefits to be negotiated. The current salary is $129,495. Boulger noted that hiring a new superintendent would put that person close to what Montepare was leaving at.
Alcombright said it was critical to have a competitive salary or "we aren't going to be able to compete for qualified candidates." MASC had suggested starting closer to $128,00, but he felt it should be lower.
He said the surrounding district salaries are: Berkshire Hills $141,000 (1,307 students); Lenox $115,000 (732); Pittsfield $157,000 (5,608); Williamstown-Lanesborough $150,000 (1,204) and Adams-Cheshire $117,000 (1,361). North Adams has 1,463 students.
"It's a balancing act between finding a qualified candidate and what we can afford," said Hockridge. "I thought we would have to go higher than that."
Community members are encouraged to take a brief, anonymous survey to indicate those skills they believe are most important in a new superintendent for North Adams. The committee will discuss the findings on Feb. 8 with Correira.
"This is the most important hire we are ever going to do," said Alcombright. "This is the most important job in the city of North Adams, this is the investment ... We need to do everything we can to get the best qualified candidate."

You must have heard enough about the trending Tortoise Shell glasses and how people are going crazy about having it. You must have searched various websites to get hold of the latest trends in this style too. With so many sizes, shapes and colors, choosing the right frame can be very troublesome. Everybody wants to make sure that they invest correctly while they achieve a very classy look too.
While selecting your Tortoise Shell glasses, there are a few variables that need ti be kept in mind. Starting off by knowing your face shape, look yourself in the mirror and gauge the shape of your face, is it round oval, squarish or heart shaped? Then look at the mass of your face whether you have a slim face or chubby one. Once you have the knowledge of your face's shape then highlight the purpose of your purchase. Is it a prescription glasses that you need in sunglasses?
Once you have decided on your face shape and the category you now need to be sure of why you need the glasses, for casual wear or for a party. Then comes your skin tone, obviously you need to take into consideration both your skin tone and the tones of your frames whether they complement each other or not. Even though tortoise shell glasses are just amazing, just make sure you try out various shapes and colors to find one that will walk you through various seasons and occasions.

The fingerprint scanner is one of the top three features on my Nexus 6P. Unlocking your phone is one of the most trivial tasks we can do, and we do it hundreds of times every day; having to just touch the fingerprint scanner is not going to save you hours in a week, but it definitely is one of those "quality of life" improvements that we quickly grow fond of. What I found though was that the fingerprint scanner on the Nexus 6P isn't perfect. On average, a quarter of the times I was trying to unlock my phone it just didn't work. I initially thought this was a problem because I'd just set up my fingerprints and the system needed some time to adjust to all the different angles I was using to unlock my phone. But as I used the phone more and more I saw no improvement. So I figured out a neat workaround. It's a workaround and not a fix, and you'll see why in just a minute. To set things up you have to open up the Settings menu on your Nexus device and go to the Security tab. Once there, go to Nexus Imprint - this is the control center for the fingerprints that Android recognizes. As you can see in the image above, there are five fingerprint slots. The trick to getting better results is to remove the five fingers you presumably have set up and re-add them, only this time use just two fingers. I entered both my index fingers twice (since they're the most likely to be used to unlock the phone), and since I had one fingerprint left over I used it for one of my thumbs. The result? I'm at 100% unlock rate, and when using my index fingers I never had the phone refuse to unlock or ask me to try again (unless I moved my finger too fast, but that's a user error). So while it takes two fingers away from your list of choices, this method makes up for it with accuracy.
What's my model number?
There are several ways to locate your model number:
- Option 1
- On your device, go to Settings, then "About device" and scroll down to "Model number"
- Option 2
- Often times you can view the model number inside the device, by removing the battery
- Option 3
- Using Samsung's model/serial number location tool

Why do you think you need a prescription for testosterone? Do you think you may be suffering from low testosterone? If you are a man who is over 35 and you are:
If you are experiencing any or all of the above, you are correct in assuming that low-T could be the cause, and a prescription for testosterone therapy may be the solution. However, do not be fooled by the ads you may hear on the radio, or see online, or in so-called muscle magazines, there is no such thing as "non-prescription," or over-the-counter testosterone. The only way to get authentic testosterone therapy is with a doctor's prescription. So, the question then becomes, what kind of doctor can write you a prescription for testosterone therapy?
Do not be fooled by the ads you may hear on the radio, or see online, or in so-called muscle magazines, there is no such thing as "non-prescription," or over-the-counter testosterone. The only way to get authentic testosterone therapy is with a doctor's prescription.
Any medical doctor can give you a prescription for testosterone, if he or she diagnoses you with a legitimate need for testosterone replacement therapy. Is there a kind of doctor that specializes in testosterone replacement? The answer is yes and no.
Testosterone, like all hormones produced by your body is made and secreted by a gland. The medical specialty that treats glandular conditions and the resulting hormone imbalances is known as endocrinology. However, the practices of most endocrinologists usually focus on glandular conditions in children that are causing them not to grow properly, or diseases of the major glands like the pancreas, thyroid, or adrenal glands in people of any age.
If you are looking for a prescription for testosterone therapy because you are having trouble with the normal decline in testosterone that occurs as you age, an endocrinologist may not be your best bet. Rather, for "age-related" low testosterone, you want to seek treatment from a doctor whose practice is dedicated to age management or age optimization for men.
Again, while any doctor can prescribe testosterone replacement therapy, there are doctors who base their practices on the best way to prescribe hormone replacement for men to achieve their personal best at any age. You want to seek such a practice if you are over 40 and experiencing the symptoms of low-T, because such a testosterone doctor will help you in many other ways to boost and maintain your stamina and energy levels.
If you are looking for a prescription for testosterone therapy because you are having trouble with the normal decline in testosterone that occurs as you age, then you want to seek treatment from a doctor whose practice is dedicated to age management or age optimization for men.
As we have said earlier, real testosterone therapy can only be obtained with a doctor's prescription. Therefore, just like any other prescription medication, you must have a diagnosis and legitimate medical need before any doctor can lawfully give you a prescription to be filled for medical testosterone.
Before you can leave any doctor's office with a prescription for testosterone therapy, he or she must have the level of testosterone in your blood tested. If your testosterone blood test indicates that your testosterone levels are lower than they should be for your age, your doctor will be able to provide you with a legal prescription for testosterone therapy.
Testosterone therapy can be given in skin patches, topical gels, subdermal pellets, or intramuscular injections. Most testosterone doctors agree that injections are the most effective method for administering prescription testosterone therapy. If it is determined that testosterone injections are the best treatment for your low-T symptoms and particular lifestyle, you will be taught everything you need to know about how to safely give yourself your testosterone replacement injections.
It does not have to be hard to find a doctor to prescribe testosterone therapy for you. In fact in can be summed up in four easy steps:
Step One – Evaluate your symptoms of low-T
Step Two – Have a physical exam and your blood tested for your testosterone level
Step Three – Evaluate your test results and if you are found to have low-T, receive your prescription for testosterone therapy
Step Four – Fill your prescription for testosterone therapy and begin an individualized program tailored to your unique needs and lifestyle.
It's that easy to get started on the "new you".
We cannot overstate the importance of only getting your testosterone therapy from a medical professional whose practice is dedicated to hormone replacement therapy. Only a well-qualified and experienced physician who specializes in hormone replacement therapy, should prescribe your testosterone therapy. This way you can be sure your testosterone therapy will be the safest and most effective for your particular needs and lifestyle.
Also, do not base you choice of doctor on the cost of a testosterone therapy prescription. Like anything else in life, you get what you pay for. Many inexperienced doctors have jumped on the testosterone therapy bandwagon, and are offering very inexpensive testosterone therapy. However, trust you guts, if something seems too good to be true, you are probably right. Many of these low cost testosterone clinics, have little or no experience in prescribing testosterone, and/or they use inferior quality hormones.
As you age your testosterone level naturally declines. Once you are over 30, the decline in testosterone can lead to a number of debilitating conditions that collectively are known as "male menopause" or andropause.
If you are looking for a doctor to provide you with a prescription for testosterone therapy, chances are you are a man between the ages of 35 and 65, who has started to feel the symptoms of low testosterone.
The signs and symptoms of low testosterone in men include:
Even when you have found the right kind of doctor to treat your symptoms of low testosterone, do not expect him or her to immediately write your prescription for testosterone therapy.
Prescriptions for testosterone therapy are not written lightly by ethical doctors. Before you are given testosterone therapy, any legitimate doctor will need to take a complete medical history and physical exam, which will then be followed with a specialized blood test to check for your testosterone levels.
It may not be easy to speak to a doctor about wanting to get a prescription for testosterone therapy.
Some men find it embarrassing, and think they are less of a man to need testosterone therapy. This is often the case because one of the first and most common signs of low-t is loss of sex drive, and/or erectile dysfunction, and they often fail to seek treatment because of this self-consciousness. This is all the more reason why you should seek your testosterone treatments from a doctor who specializes in hormone replacement for men. As well as being better equipped to interpret all of your symptoms, he will be more conscious of the self-esteem issues that could also come along with low-T. Still when talking to any doctor about low-T, you must be confident enough to tell him or her all about your symptoms. Remember, you're speaking to a professional who is very familiar with these issues. Don't be afraid to raise the issue with your doctor. You're not alone! You're not the first to have the same problem! This may be the most important visit to your doctor that you will ever have!
Do not leave anything out because you believe it may not be important, or may be embarrassing. In the long run, doing so, will only keep you from getting the best testosterone therapy prescription possible.
Testosterone therapy can be given in skin patches, topical gels, subdermal pellets, or intramuscular injections. Most testosterone doctors agree that injections are the most effective method for administering prescription testosterone therapy.

Huawei has been making major strides in the smartphone market for some time, with a huge range of impressive devices proving to be popular for Android fans around the world. Straddling the border between smartphone and phablet, the new device is the most powerful Huawei mobile to date, sporting an updated design alongside upgraded hardware – with the company also keen to promote super-smart new AI tools within.
Getting right to it, the Mate 10 Pro is undoubtedly a beautifully designed smartphone. Its slim bezels are immediately apparent, with just a small forehead and chin visible. Aside from the impressive screen-to-body ratio, the Mate 10 Pro is also very well constructed. Its front and back are made from Corning Gorilla Glass, while the glossy frame of the phone is made of aluminum.
Some people don't like glass-backed phones as they can crack and are often fingerprint magnets, which is fair enough. However, I think the Mate 10 Pro looks excellent, and Gorilla Glass is actually more scratch-resistant than aluminum, so that is in its favor.
Powering the Mate 10 Pro is the Kirin 970 chip – an Octa-core processor, it is comprised of 4×2.4 GHz Cortex-A73 cores & 4×1.8 GHz Cortex-A53 cores. Alongside this is 6GB of RAM. The Kirin 970 chip supposedly understands how you use your phone and optimizes performance. The phone comes with a built-in 128 GB internal storage.
The Mate 10 Pro's 6-inch display has several interesting aspects to it. Starting with resolution, Huawei opted for the 18:9 aspect ratio which is the new standard for modern smartphones. Because of that, the resolution has been dubbed 'Full HD +', meaning 2160×1080. Most importantly, the Mate 10 Pro's screen uses an AMOLED panel and that gives it plenty of advantages over more traditional LCD displays.
Huawei partnered with Leica to create something special: a dual-camera setup that is a bit different. Instead of one zoom lens and one wide-angle lens – the setup we find on most modern smartphones – Huawei opted for a 12MP primary camera that shoots in color and supports OIS, along with a 20MP monochrome camera that only shoots in black-and-white. Both lenses offer a wide f/1.6 aperture, too. It is very impressive as image quality is simply fantastic. Shots at both 12MP and 20MP are packed with detail, colors are vibrant and general exposures are accurate. The wide f/1.6 aperture lenses also ensure that low-light performance is similarly good.
In terms of software, the Mate 10 Pro is running Android Oreo 8.0, with Huawei's EMUI 8.0 skin on top. There are a few hidden gems within EMUI which help make using the Mate 10 Pro a real pleasure. Most favorite of these is the ability to hide the home buttons completely – enabling this setting adds an extra downward arrow to the home button panel, and pressing it hides the panel until you swipe up from the very bottom of the screen.
The phone's battery life is class-leading. Huawei has equipped the Mate 10 Pro with a huge 4000 mAH battery, and given the slightly lesser 2160×1080 screen resolution, coupled with the increased efficiency of AMOLED panels, it really lasts. The phone costs BDT 83,900 and delivers a worthy performance against the price.
There are very few phones that have the ability to satisfy the customers with a firm consistency. The design is attractive, the screen is good, the camera is great, and performance and battery life are spectacular. This is a phenomenal phone and one we can recommend wholeheartedly. Samsung, LG, and Apple better watch out – Huawei has truly announced itself with the Mate 10 Pro. This is a phone which eventually grows on you, becomes your companion eventually making it hard for you to tone it down for the next phone you buy.

It is with regret that we announce the death from heart failure of Sam Grinevitch at the age of 83 years. He passed on with his son Terry at his side in the Vernon Jubilee Hospital on August 3, 2009. Among those left behind to mourn this loss are Sam's daughter Pamela, his son Terry, Terry's wife Ginny, grandchildren Lara, Mikhal, and Alexa, and his great-grandson Zeke. Also missing him are his good friend Lois Troullier, sister Pauline (Dan) Gordey of California, brother Nick (Vicki) Grinevitch of Edmonton, brother-in-law John (Bernice) Dedul of Drumheller, and many nieces and nephews.
Sam lost his much loved wife of nearly sixty years, Vera Dedul Grinevitch, in 2003.
Sam was born in Warspite, Alberta, in 1926, the oldest of five children. After serving in the Canadian armed forces for two years, in 1946 he married the sweetheart who waited for him. Two children arrived with great expediency. Sam could fix most anything, and ran his own machine shop in Edmonton for about 25 years. Sam and Vera retired to Vernon in 1980 and they loved it here, away from the harsh winters of central Alberta. Sam was a bit of a collector, and could often be seen repairing one of his garage sale finds.
Some of the things about Sam we will miss most are his warm smile, his canny business sense, and his determined independence in the face of the physical limitations caused by a stroke he suffered in 2004. It was amazing how he could still fix things with only one hand.
A memorial service to celebrate the things we loved about Sam will be held 11:30 a.m., Friday, August 7, at the Schubert Centre, 3505 30th Avenue, Vernon. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
The family would like to thank the staff of Westridge Care Residence, Dr. Botha, and the staff of Vernon Jubilee Hospital for their caring help that went above and beyond their professional responsibilities.

Classes: Uncovered – Body Attack
The first of a new series of real-life, honest accounts by our members
A sports inspired workout, to build strength and stamina, sounded like the type of class I was looking for but I must admit the name was a concern. As a regular walker and occasional runner I was looking for a class to deliver an all-round workout but I hadn't attended the gym for some time so I wanted to be sure it was achievable. Following a recommendation from one of the Pulse 8 team I attended my first class on Wednesday evening.
On arrival I was relieved to find my fellow class mates ranged from early twenties to mid-fifties, I was comfortably in the middle! It was a small class and the instructor took time to introduce herself and the Body Attack concept to the two newbies.
From the outset the class consisted of straightforward, easy to follow, high impact aerobic moves set to motivating music. Jacks, jumping, gallops and step curls loaded the leg muscles and raised the heart rate. For those of us with wobbly bits be prepared for a lot of jumping!
As the class progressed the moves became more intense and included explosive movements such as lunges, squats, burpees and skaters, I was already feeling it! The high energy style was really engaging and each time I glanced up at the clock I was pleasantly surprised.

Not only on account of the fact that both FP1 and FP2 took place in the unique-to-Monaco spot of Thursday, but the track action itself made for a rather peculiar first day of running. The weekend in Monaco is a story of unrelenting track evolution, but the rubber laid down in today's opening session was soon replaced by puddles, as FP2 was riddled by showers which kept the majority of drivers in the confines of the garage for a full hour. Rain, therefore, doing the work which is usually done by Thursday and Friday evening's parties at Monaco's social hotspots. Just like those enjoying the perks of attending this particular weekend, Lewis Hamilton will be sporting a smile heading into the heart of the weekend, as the Briton topped the timesheet's in both of today's sessions.
Mercedes Superior
Ultimately, conclusions based on today have been curtailed by the rain shower, which came during the most valuable part of the day's running. Indeed, no driver managed to venture onto the circuit on the super-soft tyre – the stickiest of Pirelli's range – meaning that the qualifying pace of the runners and riders is somewhat of an unknown. To gain a perspective of proceedings, more inference than usual is required.
It is this analysis which shows Mercedes to be in a strong position after day one. While an early skirmish with the wall on the outside of Tabac could have cost Nico Rosberg dearly, the German escaped the clutches of the barrier unscathed and went on to contribute to a day which, considering the unfavorable conditions, could not have gone much better for the championship leaders. They seem strong on short runs, which is invaluable at Monaco and as such, lessens the requirement for equal race pace, (which we assume the Silver Arrows will have regardless).
As predicted after analysing the sector three times in Barcelona – a section of the circuit which best resembles the technical nature of this weekend's venue – Ferrari lack the traction and mechanical grip required to match Mercedes on this occasion. Kimi Raikkonen in particular seemed to struggle today, as he complained of difficulties regarding tyre warm up.
Lewis Hamilton, meanwhile, has clearly dialed into the circuit from the outset. "I'm generally happy with the balance", he said, "but there are still things I can improve upon balance-wise, but also on the track." This has to be positive news for Hamilton's army of fans, as the Briton typically struggles to find a balance he is happy with. It seems that for the majority of weekends, he complains of poor balance following a Friday feast of laps. To immediately have found a good balance bodes well for a good weekend to come.
Mixed Fortunes For Monaco Newbies
While we are beginning to familiarise ourselves with the Toro Rosso duo out-performing an ever-increasing threshold of expectation, their running today was note-worthy. Max Verstappen made headlines this morning, with a late lap to send him up to P2 in the timesheet, demonstrating the extent of track evolution on the city streets. Meanwhile, Carlos Sainz was equally impressive, as they both tested the limits of the circuit, without over-stepping them.
Roberto Merhi, on the other hand, will be disappointed to claim the unfortunate crown of first driver to end a session in the omni-present barriers at Monaco 2015. The Manor-Marussia driver made the typical mistake on the downhill braking for the Nouvelle Chicane. He locked up, pitching the car into the barrier on the outside. However, it is always better to make a mistake early on in the weekend and given the rainfall which arrived immediately after the Spaniard's excursion, the damage done to his preparation was more aesthetic than substantial.

Gene Information
This locus represents naturally occurring readthrough transcription between the neighboring MYZAP (myocardial zonula adherens protein) and POLR2M (polymerase (RNA) II (DNA directed) polypeptide M) genes on chromosome 15. Alternate splicing results in two readthrough transcript variants that encode different isoforms. One of the readthrough variants encodes a fusion protein that shares sequence identity with each individual gene product. The other variant encodes a protein that shares sequence identity with the upstream gene product but its C-terminal region is distinct due to frameshifts relative to the downstream gene.

Motivational Influencer and a Life Advocate with unshakable Faith. My commitment to see you thrive ignites my purpose to illuminate your journey beyond past or present obstacles in life. You are meant to succeed.
When my son, Jaden, was 2 ½ years old, he was diagnosed with autism. At the time of his diagnosis, autism was a foreign word to me and as a result, I had to navigate this diagnosis on my own by trial, error and by the grace of God; the use of the resources available to me.
One of the things I am so grateful for in the journey is all of the information I have found along the way to share and to help other parents especially busy working mothers. As a Mompreneur, I truly value having tools and resources that I can do at home with Jaden and the with the entire family!
A calming sensory bottle provides a visual experience assisting the soothing mechanism in the neurological system. Due to the neurological impact of Autism, individuals demonstrate at times, a "disorganization" of the sensory input they are receiving from all 7 senses (sight, touch, taste, hearing, joint input (proprioception) or vestibular (balance system). This disorganization can produce anxiety or distress and behaviors like flapping, tiptoeing, screaming, and headbanging. Calming sensory bottles are used to tranquil a person's stimuli and address an over-responsive sensory system. It is a tool that can be utilized for all ages from infants to adults.
It is something that can be implemented at home, school, community outings as they are transportable. They are easy to make, can be made as a shared activity, using preferred items to suspend in the bottle, color choices, and a reciprocal activity, encouraging independence for behavioral management and self-advocacy.
For more information about autism visit: www.jadensvoice.org and to watch my fun new show that covers all things autism visit: www.onthespectrum.tv
Items Needed:
Empty recyclable water bottles – preferred thick and smooth edges of higher quality plastic.
Note: Repurposed spice containers, pickle jars, recycled nursing bottles are an excellent choice for infants age 6 months -2 years.
Clear washable Glue – this is the costliest item. You can substitute with baby oil or clear dish soap.
Assorted items to suspend- Glitter, beads (letters, animals, vehicles), 1/2 a drop of food coloring Permanent Glue Water
Step 1: Fill the vessel (bottle, jar) about 1/4-1/2 full of clear glue. (The larger the bottle, then closer to half with glue, the smaller the bottle, then 1/4 full of glue)
Step 2: Pour in water to almost the rim of the container.
Step 3: Add a drop of preferred food dye, glitter, and items to suspend. Your choice or child's choice. Every bottle is unique!
Step 4: Top with lid. Shake it up hard to mix the fluids. (This is a great workout and teamwork for you and your child!)
Step 5: Decide if you like or want to add some more glitter or color.
Step 6: Once satisfied, use the permanent glue around the rim of the lid, screw on tightly and let dry. Ensure no leakage or ability to open once sealed permanently.
Step 7: Enjoy your new sensory calming bottle! Always supervise when children are making their sensory bottles, as the items selected to use may be choking hazards. To ensure permanent closure of bottle and no leakage, please use a permanent glue that can attach the lid to the bottle. If choosing glass bottles, like a recycled pickle jar, please ensure that it is safely stored and used only with supervision if being used by.

'Nano' popular among Rajkot college studentsApril 7th, 2009 - 6:13 pm ICT by ANI
Rajkot, Apr 7 (ANI): College students in large numbers flocked to the Tata showroom in Rajkot to have a glimpse of the world's cheapest car 'Nano'
Manjari, a prospective customer, said the car would be a craze among college students.
"Today, I have booked a Nano. We have come for its test drive. I think it will be craze among college students. It's comfortable to sit and drive," said Manjari.
Meeta said it was a dream car.
"There is ample space inside. It's comfortable to drive. It's a dream car of everyone," said Meeta.
The Nano was launched six months behind schedule in a subdued market, with production in the first year severely constrained and the threat of further ratings downgrades hanging over the company.
The company has said that it will take over a year to deliver the first 100,000 cars.
Since the Nano was first shown, the main production plant had to be moved from Singur in West Bengal to Gujarat. (ANI)

The Future of Seed Trait Technology Takes Shape
"One of our researchers went on vacation for a week and accidentally left a carton of milk in his refrigerator in North Carolina," says Eric Boudreau, Ph.D., head of trait projects for corn at Syngenta. "When he returned, he decided to study the bacterial strains in the sour milk instead of dumping it."
The sour milk yielded a new strain of Bacillus called AB88 that secretes an insecticidal protein. The new insecticidal protein was named Vegetative Insecticidal Protein 3 (Vip3). Discovered in 1996, Vip3 led to the creation of the Agrisure Viptera® corn trait, which set a new standard in insect control.
"Before Agrisure Viptera, yield losses from lepidopteran [above-ground pests] were devastating," says Boudreau, who notes that Agrisure Viptera controls above-ground insects, including corn borer, corn earworm, and many cutworm and armyworm species. "Agrisure Viptera marked a major step change in insect control in corn."
This was just one of several important breakthroughs that have helped form the robust Agrisure® traits pipeline at Syngenta. Between 2005 and 2014, Syngenta launched six Agrisure traits. In addition to Agrisure Viptera, these traits included Agrisure Artesian® water-optimization technology for corn and Agrisure Duracade®, which offers a different mode of action for corn rootworm control. By early 2017, Syngenta had launched 11 new Agrisure trait stacks in 12 years.
"Curiosity is the driver of innovation," says Boudreau, who notes that Syngenta is committed to delivering new trait technologies. "The sour milk example shows that solutions can come from the most unlikely places."
In the quest for higher yield potential, Syngenta invests $1.3 billion globally on crop protection and seeds research and development every year. That translates into almost $3.5 million per day. All this effort is directed toward one key question: How can Syngenta sustainably increase the yield and profit potential of crops to advance agriculture around the world?
"It's such a simple question with such a complex answer," Boudreau says. "What we're doing is more complicated than rocket science."

Simplifying the Complex
While growers are already reaping the rewards of the diverse Agrisure portfolio, Syngenta will seek to further expand the product offerings in the next five years with:
- Improved Artesian™ hybrids. Consider Agrisure Artesian the A-list of high-performing corn hybrids. Containing multiple genes for season-long drought protection, Artesian hybrids offer a practical option to meet the water challenges of the 21st century. "The main benefit of Artesian hybrids is the consistency of performance," says Duane Martin, Ph.D., commercial traits lead for Syngenta. "Their ability to help manage variability across microclimates and soil types far exceeds what we envisioned for the Artesian technology 10 years ago."
"We want Agrisure technologies to last a long time. Providing multiple modes of action helps delay insect resistance issues and preserve the durability of the traits."
"No other company has continued to develop water-optimization technology like Syngenta," says Martin, who adds that Artesian hybrids are available in combination with exceptional insect control and herbicide-tolerant traits. "Syngenta continues to identify new Artesian genes that can help growers manage water use more efficiently."
- Advanced insect control. An eye on providing even better protection has led to the creation of Agrisure Viptera 3330 E-Z Refuge® and Agrisure Duracade 5332 E-Z Refuge, which, upon receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, are anticipated to be available for the 2019 planting season. "These trait stacks are expected to provide at least two, if not three, different modes of action against above- and below-ground insects," says Dirk Benson, Ph.D., head, seed product development, product selection for Syngenta.
With three modes of action against many ear- and leaf-feeding insects, Agrisure Viptera 3330 E-Z Refuge will offer control on a broad range of above-ground pests. If below-ground insect control is needed, Agrisure Duracade 5332 E-Z Refuge will offer three modes of action against most above-ground insects, plus dual modes of action against yield-robbing corn rootworms.
Providing more modes of action is smart management, Boudreau says. "We want Agrisure technologies to last a long time. Providing multiple modes of action helps delay insect resistance issues and preserve the durability of the traits."
- New molecular stacks. While developing more traits offers more options for growers, it creates a unique set of challenges. "With so many traits available, you can 'clog' the product development system," Boudreau says. "But molecular stacking physically links the traits together, which allows them to go through the breeding process more easily."
Syngenta scientists' work with molecular stack technology will pave the way for the next wave of products in the Agrisure traits portfolio post-2020. "By stacking individual traits on top of each other, you could have three to five traits in one hybrid," Martin says. "Molecular stacking will allow Syngenta to develop new technologies more quickly and shorten the commercialization process."
The resulting trait stacks will offer increased convenience and more opportunities to protect the hybrids from damage that can occur throughout the season.
With all the existing and upcoming technologies in the Agrisure portfolio, expect there to be even more trait stacks, giving growers increased choice when selecting the technologies they truly need. "The Agrisure traits portfolio offers the best choice of trait packages in the industry, and there are ample options to select hybrids specific for each field," Martin says. "By offering a variety of insect control options, growers can select what they need and put their trait dollars where they count the most."
Endless Possibilities
Innovation never rests at Syngenta, as researchers continue to develop traits that help to manage growers' most problematic insects and diseases, optimize water usage, and reduce destructive weeds by offering tolerance to herbicides. The end result is an increase in the potential to boost yields.
click to tweet
Keeping the focus on the grower is essential. "Molecular biologists, for example, are experts in their area, but they may not be as well-versed in crop production," Martin says. "In many cases, my role is to help our researchers understand the needs of growers, so they can pursue the science that effectively tackles the agronomic challenges of the future."
The possibilities are endless as technology continues to evolve rapidly, Boudreau says. "It's an exciting time to help growers deploy new technologies to feed a growing world. We know we can do it right."
The System for Naming Agrisure Traits and Stack Technology
Syngenta has developed an easy-to-understand system of naming traits and stack technology.

"Chemistry comes into play the moment you realize that you find that person appealing and attractive to you in a way that generates desire."How, then, can we help the process along if we happen to meet a great guy who might not be our typical type?
I love him very much, but we do not have the same "chemistry" that I shared with the first person. I just saw the first guy again this week and was reminded again how strong the chemistry is between us.
This is why I have long advocated putting compatibility up on the same pedestal as chemistry, and perhaps elevate it even higher.
Simply put: A relationship with a 7 chemistry and a 10 compatibility is a happy marriage.
Of course, it's still a wonderful feeling, but life experience and science have taught us a few things about chemistry. Usually, chemistry lasts from 1 ½ to 3 years before it wears off. At this point, many women become disillusioned with their partners, even though all it means is that you're finally seeing him clearly. When you're under the influence of chemistry, you are under the influence of hormones that act like drugs.
Can't eat, can't sleep, high highs, low lows, the feeling of obsessive longing…it's all quite unhealthy.
