The revival of the Serre Chevalier Grand Prix has become a benchmark in the ski racing world
in just 3 years, with the symbolic achievement of being the largest gathering of amateur skiers
in the world.
The format of the event is somewhere between a derby, an enduro, an orienteering race, a marathon, a rally, a "Mud Day" type obstacle course ...
Participants choose either the "Doux" (cruise) or "Dingue"( crazy) race and need to be prepared to be surprised by the ingenuity of both courses, strewn with all kinds of obstacles and difficulties and that extend over the entire ski area. Some race to win, others just for fun but everyone gets down to the finish line with a smile. Every Identified Sliding Object known to mankind (skis, snowboards, telemarks, monoskis, snowscoots, tandems ...) can take part in THE CRAZIEST RACE IN THE COUNTRY!
See you on Saturday, March 14, 2020 and make sure you register to enter before then because both editions since 2017 have been full. For 2020, there will be a limit of 2020 participants and not one more, so register now to make your mark on history.
Serre Chevalier decided to go "Back to the Future!"!
In 2017 the resort revamped an event that had its heyday in the late 80s, the famous SERRE CHEVALIER GRAND PRIX DE FRANCE.
From 1986 to 1989, this event epitomized an incredible period in the world of snow sports.
The Serre Chevalier Grand Prix was a pioneering event that left a lasting impression on an entire generation, the pioneers of snowboarding (known as snow "surfing" at that time) came together for the event. The great names of the discipline came to race the derby from the top of the legendary Cucumelle all the way to the foot of the resort, setting off in groups of 15. As well as the "derby" race, the Grand Prix mixed different events like downhill, Freestyle, super giant slalom ... All these events combined formed the Grand Prix with the overall winner designated overall CHAMPION. In the main Grand Prix derby race, there were few or even no rules, apart from crossing the start and finish lines. "May the best man (or woman) win" was the war cry ... or maybe not. The main point of the race was to have "fun". Those enthusiastic trailblazers wrote the first pages of a great story.
In 1989, the event was in its heyday and went so far as to offer a Citroën car to the winner. Under the impetus of Thierry d'Ornano (Race organiser at the time) and several local figures, the event put Serre Chevalier in the spotlight for 4 years, earning the resort a reputation as a trailblazer. Any French snowboard geek will tell you, the "Serre Chevalier Grand Prix de France" was the forerunner, the beginning, the first chapter... at a time when "Doux et Dingue" was the slogan of the resort. A great story that did not deserve to be left to gather dust ...
So the "Serre Chevalier Grand Prix" made a comeback in 2017, 28 years on from those glory days, a revival that has managed to keep the race's fun spirit. The whole idea was crazy, and it inspired just as much craziness and passion. The concept has evolved, but the basic ingredients have stayed the same: a single starting point and a single finish line with any number of possibilities in between. In its latest incarnation, the event can be enjoyed by the widest spectrum of participants, with the choice of 2 fun courses, 1 for the Dingues "crazies" and 1 for the Doux "cruisers". Both courses, (for individuals or teams of two), extend over the Briançon, Chantemerle, Villeneuve & Monêtier ski areas. That is what the magic of the Serre Chevalier Grand Prix is all about.
Seriously though, no other ski race is like the Serre Chevalier Grand Prix. The format of the event is somewhere between a derby, an enduro, an orienteering race, a marathon, a rally, a "Mud Day" type obstacle course ... Two courses to choose from: one for "the Doux" (cruise) and another for "the Dingues" (crazy).
Take your pick and get ready to participate in: "The craziest race in the country!".
The 2 courses offer stages strewn with all kinds of obstacles and difficulties. The start and finish lines are the same for both courses. Although the details of the 2 courses are top secret, we can already tell you that the start will be at the top of the Serre Chevalier cable car (Chantemerle) in groups of 8 (not in bib number order) so you can race with your friends if you want to. The finish line is in Monêtier (Pré Chabert).
The "crazy" course is aptly named, but you can do it in "hyper" crazy mode, "chill" crazy or just plain old crazy. It is not for those who want to straight line it top to bottom, but for those who ski well and like to ski both on and off piste. It is an all-terrain course for the over 14s (parental permission is mandatory for minors). This is the longest course and you will be skiing over the whole ski area with some well-known "off piste" runs in the "brut de neige" areas. (DVA & helmet mandatory). When we say it's "the craziest race in the country" it's not an exaggeration. The Dingue course is 42km, practically a marathon, where there is no point going like the lappers the whole way, but it is best to get off to a good start. There are still "Classic" stages on the menu for the 2019 edition, and also loads of new things, including the start, which is different from previous years. The first difficulty will be called "ça commence bien" (a good start). The whole course and difficulties will be revealed 3 days before D Day. To get you in the mood : there will be 9 stages, and some of their names will get you thinking….« Super Génial » (Super Awesome) « Puissance 6 » (Power 6) « Combiné Merdique » (Combined Crap) « Chaud Patate » (Hot Potato) « Le Kobra » ... the "Dingues" course will not take you over a big air, or down a steep couloir ... yep, it's a crazy race but one for all decent skiers, snowboarders, and especially those who are not afraid of a bit of leg burn, because all the stages and difficulties make for an intense and crazy race!
The important thing is to participate in the Serre Chevalier Grand Prix... and with a smile! You can come to win or just for the fun!
The "cruising" course targets a wider audience, from kids to their grandparents – but it won't be a walk in the park. We have built some fun terrain modules. The race is composed of 8 stages. The race is recommended for skiers over 8 but possible for budding young freeriders from the age of 6 if they are used to mucking around on the slopes (parental permission is mandatory for minors, form to be given to the organisers when picking up bibs). You will mainly ski on blue runs and some red runs: a less crazy route than the "Dingue" one but the race is still almost 30km! You will get to ski over the whole Serre Chevalier ski area because you will be tackling several special stages in Chantemerle, Briançon, Villeneuve & Monêtier, and yes, just like the Dingue course, the start will be at the top of the Serre Chevalier cable car (Chantemerle) and the finish line will be in Monêtier (Pré Chabert). Do not plan on skiing fast all the way... because there are full on bits where you will have to ski fast, others where you have to take it down a notch ; ). The whole course and stages will be unveiled 3 days before the event. If you can do it in 2h30 you're doing well. To whet your appetite, here's a preview of some of the events in the 2019 edition: « Super Sonic » « Le Supercross », « Le ti Kobra », « Le Far West » (The Wild West), « le 4x4 pas parallèle » (the unparalleled 4x4) or « Very Good Tripes."
You will slip, slide, sometimes have to push your poles, crawl, run, drink, shoot, aim, .... In short, the 2018 edition has a lot on store for you!
C'est un parcours conseillé à partir de 8 ans mais possible de s'y engager dès 6 ans pour les skieurs en herbe habitués à gambader dans la neige (casque obligatoire pour tous et autorisation parentale obligatoire pour les mineurs à remettre à l'organisation lors du retrait des dossards).
This year, after the finish line, and before the prize-giving ceremony, there will be different events like "La Tourmente du Patron" and a GIANT QUIZZ where, if you finished way down the ranks, you have another chance to go home with a bagful of goodies.
You can race on your own or in teams of 2, but it is better be part of a team, as the team winners will be richly rewarded! Everything is more fun if there are two of you anyway! A team may consist of: 2 Doux or 1 Doux and 1 Dingue or 2 Dingue

A Potential Epigenetic Marker Mediating Serum Folate and Vitamin B12 Levels Contributes to the Risk of Ischemic Stroke

Stroke is a multifactorial disease that may be associated with aberrant DNA methylation profiles. We investigated epigenetic dysregulation for the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene among ischemic stroke patients. Cases and controls were recruited after obtaining signed written informed consents following a screening process against the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Serum vitamin profiles (folate, vitamin B12, and homocysteine) were determined using immunoassays. Methylation profiles for CpGs A and B in the MTHFR gene were determined using a bisulfite-pyrosequencing method. Methylation of MTHFR significantly increased the susceptibility risk for ischemic stroke. In particular, CpG A outperformed CpG B in mediating serum folate and vitamin B12 levels to increase ischemic stroke susceptibility risks by 4.73-fold. However, both CpGs A and B were not associated with serum homocysteine levels or ischemic stroke severity. CpG A is a potential epigenetic marker in mediating serum folate and vitamin B12 to contribute to ischemic stroke.

Chief Demola Seriki, former Minister of State for Interior, says that in the face of the dwindling price of crude oil, churches and mosques that own businesses should pay tax. He said religious bodies, especially
churches, had built large business empires including universities but many of them are not paying tax.
He added that the wealth being made from these businesses are used in buying private jets with the government losing out. He went further to say, "Places of worship such as churches and mosques should not pay tax but when they go into investment outside their main focus, they must pay tax.
For example, there are some churches that are into importing and exporting and they are benefitting from the economy. You cannot do that without paying tax. They are not paying now. They use the name of the church to escape paying tax. This is wrong.
Some churches have hundreds of houses in their various camps which they rent out but they don't pay tax to the government because they are registered as religious organisations and are not paying tax. So, we must change our tax laws."….. kp throwing sub at Oyedepo u hear. Urs wld b worse than dt OAP's own…..

Our team of L&D professionals do the heavy lifting to ensure your learning management system is filled with up to date Micro-learning experiences so that you can reap the benefits of adequately trained employees.
Off The Shelf Courses
Typical training programs consist of unnecessary information, used to "fill up" the course and make it appear to offer more value for your dollar. Unfortunately, all that filling is just a waste of space and time, and typically the cost of that is picked up by the employer. Thankfully those days are LONG gone. We've taken all the core training courses your employees need, and re-designed them in a way that delivers the message in a fun interactive way removing any unnecessary "fluff" to keep the message clean. To make it easy, we made them short sessions that will enable your employees to take them quickly in between customers, or in their free time right from their phones or tablets. The days of paying them to sit in front of a computer for hours are long gone.
All of our Micro-Learning experiences are interactive mobile-friendly courses that can be completed in 10 minutes or less and available on your LMS or ours.
Custom Content
Not all course are created equal, and the topic you need to train on may not exist. We can help with that as well. Maybe it's a specific company policy you need to educate your employees on, or a particular way to complete a task, we can work with you to build out Micro-learning experiences or tradition eLearning courses that will get the job done. Throughout the process, we'll work closely with you or your team to ensure we create learning experiences that won't waste your employees time, which will save you money.
Looking to build training courses or Micro-Learning experiences yourself? Our advisors are there to help ease the process for your team and to guide your team on industry best practices.

The first three months of 2018 in the crypto industry were marked first of all by the "bloody" drop of bitcoin and all the altcoins.
In addition, the first quarter was remembered by the change in the positions of some regulators – the US SEC and the Japanese FSA made a number of statements regarding digital currencies, which, of course, also affected the crypto market.
What other events have occurred over the past 3 months, and how they affected the cost of bitcoin, we will analyze in the quarterly review.
JFSA, the Japanese regulator, said that it will closely monitor unregistered trading floors and, in support of its words, on March 8 suspended the work of two exchanges – FSHO and BitStation – for a month. It is worth noting that in 2017 Japan recognized bitcoin as legal tender on the territory of the country and officially registered 16 crypto-instruments.
SEC, the American regulator, also expressed concern about the unregulated nature of crypto-exchange platforms. However, the Commission's main focus is on sites trading ICO-tokens, which in some cases can be classified as unlicensed securities. Such statements of the SEC, of course, puzzled all exchanges, not registered in accordance with the laws on securities.
For the first time in history, the Crypto-currencies were discussed at the G20 on March 19-20. The news from the summit was more positive – the participants agreed to adopt the existing measures to regulate crypto-currencies, and not to come up with new ones that are tougher.
The currency exchange Coincheck in January shocked its users with the news of a break-in and theft of $ 500 million in NEM. To track down and punish the robbers did not succeed, but losses to users were recovered from the reserve fund of the exchange. Most recently, the online broker Monex bought Coincheck for $ 33 million.
PRC announced its intention not to prohibit crypto-currencies, but gradual regulation of the crypto industry is inevitable. According to the head of the People's Bank of China, "crypto-currencies are inevitable and they can not be avoided anywhere", but the Bank does not recognize the cryptocurrency and does not consider it as an alternative to fiat money. In addition, there were rumours about the development of China's national cryptocurrency.
Thailand refers to the cryptocurrency more positively. The law regulating the purchase and sale of digital currencies and ICO tokens was adopted, in order to avoid money laundering, tax evasion and market manipulation. The law obliged the crypto-investors to pay a 15% capital gains tax plus 7% VAT.
Venezuela has issued its own cryptocurrency El Petro, thereby circumventing US sanctions and improving its troubled economic situation.
According to experts, the fact that 36 thousand bitcoins were sold by the managing bankruptcy procedure of the Mt.Gox stock exchange, Nobuaki Kobayashi, had a special impact on the crypto market.
February was remembered by the purchase of the Poloniex exchange, which failed to cope with last year's cryptocurrency boom and lost a huge market share, Circle company for $ 400 million. The company now plans to release an application for traders.
Binance Exchange, on the contrary, is developing steadily, having received seven million users in a hundred days. However, regulatory problems forced the stock exchange to leave Asia. After the FSA order, obliging the exchange to obtain a license to continue working on the territory of the country, Binance moved to Malta.
March was marked by the launch of the Lightning Network, a protocol that provides bidirectional, non-target payment channels of bitcoin-transactions.
Facebook, Google, Twitter, Yandex refused advertising crypto-currency on their pages, which also affected the behaviour of the courses cryptocurrency.
The price of bitcoin decreased, which affected the size of the commission in the detachment, respectively.
The total market capitalization at the beginning of the year was $ 840 billion. and fell by almost 70% (to $ 267 billion) by the second quarter. Most altcoins have become cheaper than bitcoins.
158 ICO for three months of this year has collected about 5 billion dollars, which is $ 1 billion more than last year. The record holder is ICO Telegram, which collected about $ 1.7 billion. It is worth noting that the messenger has not yet transmitted the keys of its users' messages at the request of the Russian FSB, Roskomnadzor appealed to the court to block Pavel Durov's offspring.
The first quarter of 2018 tested the strength of the cryptocurrency as much as it could, which as reflected in the mirror in the digital currency market. I would like to think that the second quarter will be more supportive of the crypto industry.

About Seven Lions
Melding mainstream pop, trance, and dubstep, California producer Jeff Montalvo quickly amassed a cult following under the alias Seven Lions. The onetime drummer transitioned to music production in 2007, and shortly thereafter he won a competition held by the trance act Above & Beyond by remixing their song "You Got to Go." Success snowballed. At 25 years old, his debut EP, Days to Come, was mentioned on Vibe's Top Electronic Albums list of 2012, and later that year he gained attention internationally when his music picked up regular rotation on BBC's Radio 1. A second EP, Polarize, was released by Viper Recordings in April of 2013. He moved to the Casablanca label and a year later the Worlds Apart EP hit number two on the Billboard Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart, also landing on the Billboard 200. Continuing a slowly growing emphasis on song form, The Throes of Winter returned him to both charts in 2015 and topped the Heatseekers Albums chart. In 2017, the Creation EP became his first Billboard dance/electronic number one. ~ Jason Lymangrover & Marcy Donelson

The Sufi 'Soapy' Sophie shrieked, "Debrief the chiefs, release the cheap sheep of the chefs, shrink the sheiks cheeks."

GainsaidOctober 20, 2017
That winter can be a speech, that words can change
A child's body from the pink flesh
Of life into an icy gown,
An act of contrition so slowly spoken…
…So fragile and pale it becomes like
The stone hands it must use
To paint the lace-ice portraits
That so confound the storm windows
As winter springs from death's hand.
This is what we say
When we pretend not to obey.
This is the sweep of ice across the land
Turned to the blank gaze of sufferance,
The loss of sunlight, into utterance.

I want to create a new world with you. Who is there?
In the beginning was the idea. An idea that simply won't let you go. It haunts your head and at some point it will prevail: It wants to be written. Maybe it is literally a new world that you are creating, but maybe it is also a story that opens our eyes to a strange world on our own doorstep.
You will find that the approach is not so different. Whether a story is fictional or real for you makes no difference to the reader. For him your story is a new, strange world. Your task is to tell it in such a way that it becomes real and tangible for the reader.
But what makes this new world exciting and alive? How and what do we have to write so that others also want to get to know this world? Where do our ideas come from and how does a fantasy idea become a fantasy story?
In my writing workshop/lecture Fremde Welten erschaffen (Creating foreign worlds) I would like to get to the bottom of this.
For my fantasy series "Nafishur" I created a completely new world and the more I dealt with it, the more extensive it became. I would like to share the experiences I made with you.

US and EU create "economic NATO"
Not all the EU countries have equally optimistic attitude towards the idea of a free trade area creation with the United States.
The EU summit decided to finalize the FTA with the US by the end of 2015, which has already been called the "economic NATO". This was announced on the final declaration of the EU summit.
The document talks about strengthening necessary procedures for finalizing an agreement to create a multilateral trading system, known as Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).
Not all the EU countries equally look at the importance of TTIP, a number of farmer organizations in several EU countries have already expressed their disapproval of the idea. EU trade unions fear an acceleration of the EU's decentralization process and growing unemployment because of the work places reduction.
Read more: Ukraine and EU agree to complete negotiations on visa-free regime by May 2015
Economists have also expressed very negative views on the "economic NATO", they think that only the stronger US economy will benefit from the FTA.
The budget of the United States, which was signed on December 16 by Barack Obama, was a record high. The expenditure side of the budget in 2015 will be 1.1 trillion dollars.

The ancestors of the bearers of the Inkoldesbey family name are thought have lived in ancient Anglo-Saxon England. They were first found in the village of Ingoldsby, Lincolnshire or from Ingleby, found in the Derbyshire, or at Ingleby-Berwick, North Yorkshire. The latter is most interesting. "At the time of the Domesday Survey, the lands here were described with those of Acklam, to which the hamlet pertained, as is implied in the term Berwick: the ancient name of the place was Berewyke-juxta-Tees." [1]
The surname Inkoldesbey was first found in Lincolnshire at Ingoldsby, a small village in the South Kesteven district, in the union of Grantham, wapentake of Beltisloe. The village dates back to at least the Domesday Book of 1086 when it was listed as Ingoldesbi. [2]
The place name literally means "farmstead or village of a man called Ingjaldr," from the Old Scandinavian (Viking) personal name + "by." [3]
Sir Roger de Ingoldsby, founder of the family was lord of the parish of Ingoldsby in 1230. [4] The township of Moorhouse in Durham held a special significance to the family. " In the seventeenth century this township was the seat, in succession, of the families of Ingleby and Roper." [1]
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Inkoldesbey research. Another 109 words (8 lines of text) covering the years 1661, 1622, 1701, 1615, 1681, 1654, 1659, 1617, 1685, 1712, 1709, 1710, 1719, 1702, 1710, 1702, 1710, 1434, 1499, 1551, 1586, 1688, 1719, 1603, 1652, 1621, 1682, 1664, 1742, 1705, 1772, 1622, 1701, 1661, 1666, 1695 and 1699 are included under the topic Early Inkoldesbey History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Until quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Inkoldesbey include Inglesby, Ingilby, Ingleby, Ingoldesby, Ingoldsby and many more.
Notables of the family at this time include General Sir Richard Ingoldsby; Sir Henry Ingoldsby, 1st Baronet (1622-1701), an English military commander and landowner; Francis Ingoldsby (1615-1681), an English politician who sat in the House of Commons between 1654 and 1659; Colonel Sir Richard Ingoldsby of Lenborough in Buckinghamshire (1617-1685), an English officer in the New Model Army during the English Civil War, he signed the king's death warrant but was one of the few regicides to be pardoned; Lieutenant General Richard Ingoldsby (died 1712), an English general and politician, Member of...

Searching for a better life, many English families migrated to British colonies. Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Inkoldesbey or a variant listed above: John Ingoldsby, who arrived in Boston in 1642; Henry Ingoldsby, who came to Pennsylvania in 1682; Mary Inglesby, a bonded passenger who arrived in Virginia in 1741.

What is Ketosis?
Ketosis Forces your body to get its energy by burning fat instead of carbs.
When you've reached a state of Ketosis, your body starts immediately burning fat for its energy instead of carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates are not the ideal energy source for your body, so up until we reach a state of ketosis, we are normally left feeling exhausted, under tension and low-energy by the end of every day.
Fat Is the body's ideal energy source. So when your body reaches ketosis you'll discover your energy boosts, and you'll feel more focused than ever before, even late into the day.
Keto Diet
Why aren't more people in a state of Ketosis?
The normal western world diet today has the tendency to include enormous amounts of carbs. Additionally, for many years customers have been demanding low fat and fat complimentary versions of foods.
Through our diet plans, our bodies have been conditioned to burn carbohydrates for energy instead of fat. As pointed out previously, this can have major repercussions to our feeling of well being.
So simply begin eating more fat and less carbs?
Regrettably, it's not always this easy. Given that your body has actually been configured for many years to store fat and burn carbs, we generally need some help to kick-start the process of ketosis into high equipment.
This help can be found in the form of a chemical compound known as Beta-hydroxybutyrate (likewise referred to as BHB). BHB informs your body to start the process of progressing into a ketosis state.
How does my body get BHB?
While your body produces extremely small quantities of BHB, it does not produce huge adequate amounts to quickly lead to a ketosis state. Therefore many people choose to supplement BHB in their diet plans. Purefit Keto is a popular and highly effective dietary supplement used to accomplish this,.
Exactly what are the advantages of Purefit Keto?
Purefit Keto will help you to reach a state of ketosis much quicker than would be possible by diet plan alone. It'll assist you to get slim, improve your energy level, enhance your mood, and feel healthy and confident again.
Keto Diet
Who is Purefit Keto for?
Purefit Keto is ideal for both men and women that want to reach a state of ketosis quicker, feel better and look much better.
Is Purefit Keto Safe?
Purefit Keto features an unique blend of active ingredients. Purefit Keto is both safe and hassle-free. It provides an easy and safe method to reach a state of ketosis without suffering the unfavorable side effects of a typical ketogenic diet plan.
Can I consume whatever I want while taking Purefit Keto?
Once you are in a state of nutritional ketosis, staying in ketosis is as easy as maintaining a keto-friendly diet plan, a lot of exercise, and taking pleasure in all the advantages Purefit KETO needs to provide.
For finest results, you'll wish to eat a diet plan that consists generally of fat, with moderate protein consumption and a percentage of carbohydrates. It's advised to aim to take in a diet plan of 70% fat, 25% protein, and 5% carbs while taking the supplement.
How do I start with Purefit Keto?

Tee It Up To Fight Cancer presented by Carpenter's Union - Local 93
July 2016, life for my younger brother Brett changed forever; sadly he was diagnosed with Stage IV esophagus Cancer. Not only did his life change but the lives of his family and friends also changed forever. Brett, at the age of 54 lost his fight with Cancer on Monday September 4th 2017. Brett very much appreciated the effort everyone contributed to his personal battle with Cancer. He was truly overwhelmed with outpouring of support during his fight. Brett didn't have time to " Pay it Forward" but it was something he wanted to do!
Brett's Doctor at The Ottawa Hospital, Dr. Jonker worked tirelessly tweaking and modifying his treatments to allow Brett to live longer. Brett was originally given 6 to 8 months and Brett's life continued for 13 months. The Ottawa Hospital treats the vast majority of all cancer cases in our region and is prepared to deal with the toughest cases. In the next few years researchers at The Ottawa Hospital will undertake some of the most important clinical trials in the history of the collective battle with cancer. They will also conduct groundbreaking genetic research to map the pathways of certain cancers and develop personalized therapies, like those which benefitted Brett. So in Brett's honor we are going to help raise some much need funds for cancer research and care at The Ottawa Hospital and Dr Jonkers and his team.
When you're diagnosed with cancer, time is critical. Every minute counts, and the wait for surgery, for treatment, for life to get back to normal can seem agonizing. Time is critical in the world of cancer research, too. Every day, scientists are working on new and better therapies. The sooner these therapies can be delivered to patients, the better their chances for recovery. There seems to be so many people in our community affected by Cancer and we are thrilled to be supporting the fight to find a cure for this terrible disease!

Don't Wait to Encourage Your Child to Go to College
Going to college should be a goal that every student has, but this isn't always the case. While some students wouldn't have it any other way, others don't even consider it an option. Read on to find out how to help your child aim for college and achieve it.
Motivate Your Child to Go to College
Motivating your child to go to college at a young age is an incredibly important factor that can make the biggest difference in their future. The following information can help you drive your child towards a college-bound path.
Encouraging Your Child to Go to College
One of the biggest mistakes parents make is not talking to their child about college until they are in high school. High school is the time to discuss more specific career choices and help your teen decide what colleges to apply to. However, this shouldn't be the first time you actually discuss college with your child. In fact, college should be a regular and normal part of
your child's educational goals.
It is something that should be introduced into your child's academic life starting at a young age. Don't get discouraged if your child is already a teenager; it is also never too late to start discussing college. You can start directly with
these tips from the TeenLife Blog, here.
Introduce Your Child to the Idea of College at a Young Age
Although you can start to subtly introduce your child to the concept of college at a young age, the best time to take a more active approach is around nine years old. Studies show that fourth grade is the perfect time to start actively introducing your child to college for several reasons. At that age, students are able to best grasp the concept of college. They are also at a stage where they will remember impactful experiences for life. That means that this is the ideal time to take them to visit a college or university campus.
Show Your Child What a College Campus Looks Like
Many colleges offer summer tours and other summer programs for younger age children that allow them to enjoy the experience of a college campus and become more college oriented. You can also encourage your child to do their own research and investigate different colleges and universities so they can start getting a better idea of what they want to look for in a college. This is not only a great way to get them to start considering college, it is also ideal for showing your child that they have more options and more say in their education.
How Well Your Child Does in School Today Can Affect Their Chances of Going to College
Making sure your child stays encouraged and motivated to go to college has a lot to do with how well they are currently doing in school. Students that are behind in class have a hard time being motivated enough to continue their education after high school. That is why it is so important that you get your child support right away. Tutoring is one of the best ways to prevent your child from falling behind. Contact
The Tutoring Center,
Parsippany NJ
fill out the form on this page
to get a free consultation today.
Focus on the Experience and Not Just the Benefits
When talking to your child about college it is ok to focus on the importance of going to college to get a better job and have a brighter future. However, try to focus on the fact that college is much more than just that. It should also be about the experience. Explain that college is the time to finally explore education in a more personalized manner because they get to choose what it is they want to learn about. Motivate your child to try new things and find new interests so they can discover what it is they would like to study and take on as a career.
Helping Your Child Make It to College with Tutoring in Parsippany NJ
It isn't just important to encourage your child to want to go to college. You also have to ensure that they take the right action steps towards making this goal a reality. In order to do this, your child needs to be well prepared and school-oriented. At

What the ChemChina – Syngenta Deal Means
The proposed acquisition of Syngenta at $43 billion is the big one that ChemChina has been waiting for during the past 10 years or so.
I first approached ChemChina back in 2006 to interest them into making a couple of "smallish" (in comparison to the deal size that is on the table today) acquisitions in the large and lucrative U.S. agricultural chemical market.
My proposal back then was for them to acquire a distribution company along with one that holds product registrations of generic pesticides in the USA. I named this project and proposal as a "Twin-Pack Acquisition." It made sense to me as ChemChina is a group of state-owned companies and plants making generic pesticides after all. Such a Twin-Pack acquisition would open up a conduit to this market rather quickly and efficiently.
ChemChina did not bite. They were adamant that they wanted to make a major acquisition in the agricultural chemical industry worth just over $40 billion back then and the target had to be a R&D-focused company. Money was no object with an arsenal of $10 billion which seems to have ballooned four times and more, judging from the proposed cash price of $43 billion on offer now for Syngenta.
What are the potential implications should this impending deal between ChemChina and Syngenta move ahead and close?
- To ChemChina and China itself:
In one swoop, and overnight, ChemChina would finally own significant and cutting-edge technologies in the synthesis and development of new agricultural chemistry, genetic modification (GM) of crop seeds and the development of biological pesticides whose markets are growing rapidly in advanced agricultural regions such as the EU, USA and Japan.
China has been dabbling with synthesis and development of new and novel agricultural chemistry through Shenyang Pesticide Research Institute (now owned by Sinochem, a sister state-owned company of ChemChina) for many years, but the barriers to entry are so enormous that it would be extremely difficult for them to succeed. It takes over $250 million of investment over a period of 7 to 10 years to put one out into the market.
In the GM seeds arena, the barriers to entry are even more insurmountable—not from patent standpoints or lack of technological prowess, but simply due to the blockage of essential conduits to the market for any new genes or seed traits discovered. Over two decades ago, all seed companies with popular branded seeds (in which the new genes need to be inserted) have been acquired by a handful of current global GM seed players, including Syngenta of course.
In the development and marketing of the rapidly growing biological pesticide arena, both China and India are dabbling in this field as well, but none of them have the capabilities to get any of them registered in the highly-regulated advanced agricultural regions mentioned. The investments and time frame may be smaller than what is needed in registering a newly synthesized agricultural chemical, but they are still very significant barriers in terms of the data needed by regulatory authorities.
- To the Chinese GM seed regulatory body:
They will no doubt relax their rules and start to accept GM crop seeds in a bigger way, though not necessarily favoring the Syngenta portfolio.
- To Syngenta management and employees:
I am sure ChemChina does not have the capabilities to make any changes nor do they have any desire to do so, post-acquisition. Unlike any major western-owned agricultural chemical companies staffed by very experienced and globally-trained professionals, ChemChina is not, except for some international managers acquired through their 60% equity stake in Adama (formerly Makhteshiem Agan), the Israeli generic agricultural chemical producer.
ChemChina's post-acquisition management strategy is more akin to Japanese ones where the day-to-day and strategic management is left to the existing management teams and employees of the acquired target companies.
- To Syngenta shareholders:
ChemChina is offering cash, unlike the earlier aborted deal offered by Monsanto which involved cash and shares.
In light of the fact that there are severe financial penalties involved if the ChemChina/Syngenta negotiations are called off by either side, it is unlikely that another suitor will step in to make a better offer whilst negotiations are ongoing. However, if the current deal is not taken up, Syngenta will need to not only find a better value or deal but also quickly strategize and face the impending new and much-strengthened competitor created by the ongoing merger of Dow and DuPont.
- To agricultural chemical and seeds dealers and the farmers:
There are no foreseen immediate changes in the supply chain. ChemChina's 60%-owned Adama will no doubt continue to do what it has been doing — marketing generic pesticides — though some are in direct competition against Syngenta's own portfolio of patent-expired chemicals. Over time, they may work out some symbiotic relationships between the two entities no doubt.
Will there be a drop in support from farmers in the light of the change in ownership and control of Syngenta, from a western-owned entity to a Chinese state-owned entity? Most, if not all farmers, will make decisions based on economics and product feature and benefits and not based on nationalism. The past many years of a successful Japanese (Marubeni) ownership of a major agricultural chemical and seed distributor, Helena, in the USA has clearly demonstrated that.
- To the Indian and Chinese generic agricultural chemical producers:
As mentioned earlier, ChemChina operates generic agricultural chemical plants in China that supply through Adama as well as through other global distributors and product registration holders. Its fellow Chinese competitors, numbering about 2,000 all over China, will face tougher competition going forward as ChemChina not only has the Adama global network of customers but the Syngenta ones as well.
To the Indian generic agricultural chemical producers, which have had a good run in the global markets due to their investments in data generation needed to comply with regulatory agencies throughout the world, as well as their better command of the English language, the new ChemChina will ensure the erosion of these Indian comparative advantages.
- To the remaining global agricultural chemical and GM seed players:
They will have to start putting their thinking caps on quickly to deal with the merged entities of Dow-DuPont and the truly globalized ChemChina. These two events are unprecedented in the agricultural chemical and seed industry. It will be a mammoth change in the global business landscape for all the players in the crop inputs and food production industries.
Will the regulatory agencies in the USA and the EU (where Syngenta is based) overseeing the ChemChina-Syngenta deal scuttle it?
It is hard to say at this stage but it certainly is a lot less likely compared to the earlier aborted Monsanto offer to acquire Syngenta. Monsanto and Syngenta have many business areas where they overlap and hence would face a lot more scrutiny, and hurdles.

River Run by Nicole Alexander
Nicole Alexander will always hold a special place in my heart. Not only is she a phenomenal author, but she was the first woman to feature as a #WCW of mine on my old site, Don't Ask Leah. She didn't know me at all, but from just one simple email requesting an interview with her, she gave me her mobile number and told me to call her anytime. When I finally worked up the courage to dial her number, she was generous with her time, her stories and her entire being. She divulged details about her writing process, her family, her life in rural Australia and about herself to me that left me feeling inspired, fulfilled and completely in awe of her.
River Run had been sitting on my bookshelf for a while before I picked it up recently, I hate to admit. The thing that everyone needs to know about Nicole Alexander's work is that even if the blurb or the subject matter doesn't appeal to you strongly or seem as though it is going to be up your alley – trust me, it is. I have never been a huge fan of historical fiction and generally speaking, when I see that a book's story takes place any time before the present day, it tends to deter me from wanting to read it.
"It is January 1951, and after a year away Eleanor Webber has returned home to River Run, her family's sprawling sheep property in western New South Wales. Fleeing a failed love affair back in Sydney, she hopes for some time and space to heal.
But with shearing of over 25,000 sheep about to commence, and the infamous and moneyed Margaret Winslow and her husband Keith staying in the main house as her mother's guests, that dream is quickly dashed.
More worryingly, her half-brother Robbie is increasingly running wild, playing tricks on his governess, antagonising the jackeroos and obsessing about a communist invasion. Though only eleven, Robbie has appointed himself guardian of the property and, in his treehouse by the river, he readies for an imminent attack. Armed with a gun.
Then, with a storm looming and tensions rising in the shearing shed, a mysterious stranger appears on the horizon.
And in one disastrous moment young Robbie entangles Eleanor in a situation that will have serious repercussions for every member of the Webber family."
When I picked this book up from the bookstore, I bought it without reading the blurb because I trust her writing and her talent for story-telling so inherently. Even when I started reading it, I didn't turn to the back of the book to see what I was in for – instead, I read it page by page and let the story unfold. I went into the book blind and it did not disappoint.
First of all, the fact that River Run takes place over one week for the duration of the book means that the pace is slow and allows for a lot more detail to be expressed. I am a fast reader and usually churn through books at a rapid pace, but I found that because the timeline was only a week it actually changed my reading habits. It was almost as if I was reading it in real time. Not only that, but I found myself making the conscious decision to not read too much in one sitting. That isn't how you read Nicole Alexander's work, not because it isn't gripping or page-turning or anything like that, but because her love of the Australian landscape and the respect she has for its description and retelling deserves the reader's time and attention.
Our protagonist, Eleanor, is my kind of woman. For her time she is rebellious – she has relocated to Sydney and spends her time with a very progressive (sexually speaking) crowd at a time where that was still frowned upon for a woman. She also writes and illustrates comic books and graphic novels – a woman after mown heart. She retreats to her family home in the country after having her heart broken and her writing stolen by said heartbreaker. Already for me, that amount of detail was enough for me to care about what happened to her deeply.
Though I am completely oblivious when it comes to sheep shearing and the running of a farm, it did not mean that those elements of the story were lost on me. Quite the opposite, in fact. Nicole Alexander writes with such devotion to her background and the rural lifestyle that you cannot help but become completely consumed by it as if it were your own life and experiences. Simply from reading this work of fiction, I was granted access into the reality of the processes that take place on a sheep farm. I would never seek out such information as it isn't something I necessarily want to learn about, but through reading this novel I learned so much and became rather fixated on how everything runs in the country. In my opinion, that is the mark of a brilliant writer: someone who invites you into their world so subtly that you don't realise it, furthermore, how much you belong there.
The pace of the book unexpectedly quickened when the climax of the plot was revealed and it was only then that I started completely devouring the pages – any spare moment that I had, I spent in the world of River Run. It was a perfectly timed turn of events and enhanced the reading experience for me, definitely. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and enjoyed reacquainting myself with Nicole once more.

In two previous blog posts we examined the initial steps in our branding process, including the discovery session and the process to identify direction for the story and visuals associated with your identity. We highly recommend going back and reading those two posts before diving into part III.
"No Small Feat: Shoeing the Cobbler's Children"
"Brand Craft: Shoeing the Cobbler's Children II"
For AOR's brand refresh, we put our expertise to work to make our shoes; however, we realized the evaluation of our own work was going to be too subjective. We knew we needed to review from an objective standpoint to put the best work in action. Oftentimes, agencies are too close to their work to really evaluate it objectively and the same goes for your organization. At AOR, we're about to give our kids some of the best shoes, and here's how.
Objective Evaluation of Brand Visuals
Logos are often the highest level visual explanation of a brand, and while we recognize a brand is made up of much more than a logo, our ability to objectively evaluate a logo as the foundation of a brand is extremely important. So today, we'll ask ourselves, "is the logo…"
- Simple: do the visual aspects of the logo provide a quick get for our organization?
- Memorable: are the visual aspects of the logo impactful enough to remember?
- Reducible: do the visual aspects of the logo reduce easily for small applications? Think business card.
- Able to read in black and white: color is extremely subjective, so when removing color from the equation, does the logo maintain its impact?
Brand Refresh Coming Soon
If you are able to evaluate your visual brand options from this objective lens you will be able to bring your new brand to life both strategically and creatively. For AOR, we're extremely close to this option evaluation phase and we can't wait to see what you think of our new brand.
Check back in for updates on our shoes-in-progress and important tips on what to do once you've evaluated your options and are ready to launch your brand in the marketplace.
Elena co-leads the account team at AOR. She works closely with our clients and creative team to establish strategic goals, drive success, and put smiles on faces.
Elena has been on the AOR team for 8 years building brand and marketing campaign strategies for our clients. She holds a B.A. in Advertising and Graphic Communications from Florida State University.

I don't know how, but Andy Chambers has done it again! Path of the Incubus is a fantastic and satisfying sequel to Path of the Renegade. If you haven't read the first book you're already missing out, but there are also several short stories that accompany both books in this series: Bellathonis and the Shadow King, Treasures of Biel-Tanigh, and The Curse of Shaa-Dom.
To give a brief summary (without spoilers), Path of the Incubus follows the story of the Incubus, Morr (originally introduced in Path of the Renegade) as he tries to stop the dysjunction that is destroying the dark city. However, it also features several side-plots that run parallel to the main plot with several other characters from the last book (whose names shall be omitted for spoiler-issues).
- Strong, satisfying writing
- Features Dark, Exodite, and Craftworld Eldar (and Harlequins too!)
- Provides a deep and intriguing insight into the structure of Dark Eldar society as it is falling to pieces around them.
- Also provides a view of the striking difference in mindset between the many types of Eldar.
- Decently long and full of delicious plot twists
- Some people might have problems following the multiple simultaneous plot-lines, but I think that the complexity reflects the pandemonium of Dark Eldar society nicely.
- If your 40k universe revolves around the Imperium and its bland humanity, then this book is probably not for you.
To summarize, this book is a perfect follow-up to Path of the Renegade, maintaining the same dark, gritty feel of back-stabbing, treachery, and plotting that the Dark Eldar are so well-known for. In addition to this, it adds characters from the Craftworld and Exodite Eldar which set a great contrast to the Dark Eldar's malicious ways.
Thanks for reading!
(Hopefully there is another book in the series..)

Topic Page: Gould, Stephen Jay (1941 - 2002)
Place: United States of America
Subject: biography, biology
US palaeontologist and writer who taught and researches in geology, evolutionary biology, and the history of science.
Gould was born in New York City on 10 September 1941 and graduated in 1963 from Antioch College in Ohio and then took a PhD at Columbia University in 1967. In that year he joined the staff at Harvard University and became professor of geology there in 1973 and Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology in 1981. He also held a concurrent post in the department of the history of science.
Gould wrote extensively on several aspects of evolutionary science, in both professional and popular books. His early research interests were focused on the evolutionary development and speciation of the land snail, and initiated his wider studies of animal form and function and the relationship between ontogeny and phylogeny. His book Ontogeny and Phylogeny (1977) provided a detailed scholarly analysis of his work on the developmental process of recapitulation. In Wonderful Life (1989), he drew attention to the diversity of the fossil finds in the Burgess Shale Site in Yoho National Park, Canada, which he interpreted as evidence of parallel early evolutionary trends extinguished by chance rather than natural selection. Collections of essays published in, for example, Ever Since Darwin (1977), Hen's Teeth and Horses' Toes (1983), Life's Grandeur (1996), and The Structure of Evolutionary Theory (2002) have all achieved critical acclaim and large readerships.

The yield curve is a graphed line that represents the relationship between short- and long-term interest rates, specifically in government securities. Examining the yield curve serves a number of purposes for market analysts, but its primary importance is as a predictor of recessions.
The yield curve plots the yields to maturity and the times to maturity for U.S. Treasury bills, notes and bonds, thus showing the various yields from the shortest-term treasuries - Treasury bills - to the longest-term treasuries - the 30-year Treasury bond. The resulting line is usually asymptotic - that is, it initially curves upward but then flattens out the farther the line extends. Short-term interest rates are determined by the federal funds rate that the Federal Reserve sets, but long-term interest rates are largely determined by the market. Looking at points further out on the yield curve reveals the current market consensus on the likely future direction of both interest rates and the economy.
The usual upsloping yield curve line indicates that investors and analysts expect economic growth and inflation - and thus rising interest rates - in the future. Also, it's natural for Treasurys that take much longer to mature to carry a higher interest rate since there's greater risk involved with holding an investment asset over a long period of time. The higher interest rate normally commanded by Treasury bonds reflects what is called a risk premium.
If there is a departure from the normal situation where longer-term interest rates are higher than shorter-term rates, if short-term interest rates move up to a point where they are higher than long-term rates, then the yield curve becomes downsloping, or inverted. Market analysts consider an inverted yield curve to be a very strong indication of a coming recession and possible deflation. In the latter half of the 19th century and into the early 20th century, before the creation of the Federal Reserve Bank, it was normal for the yield curve to be inverted because there were frequent periods of deflation and virtually no extended time periods of inflation.
Generally, an upsloping yield curve is taken as indicating the likelihood that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates in an attempt to curb inflation. A downsloping, inverted yield curve is commonly interpreted to mean that the Federal Reserve will most likely make significant interest rate cuts in order to stimulate the economy and prevent deflation. A flat yield curve, neither upsloping nor downsloping, indicates that the market consensus is that the Federal Reserve may be cutting interest rates somewhat to stimulate the economy but, unless there are further indications of possible deflation, it will not cut rates aggressively.
Economists, market analysts and investors in bonds or other fixed income investments monitor the yield curve closely because significant interest rate changes, affecting financing costs and therefore expenditure decisions of businesses across all market sectors, are a major factor in driving the market and the economy as a whole.

Jackie's study
Jackie Nash, 55 years old from Lancashire was diagnosed with Amyloidosis in 2013.
Amyloidosis is a group of rare conditions caused by deposits of abnormal protein, amyloid, in tissues and organs throughout the body. Proteins that fold abnormally and collect together do not break down as easily as normal proteins and cab build up in tissues and organs leading to them not working properly. There are currently no treatments available that can directly remove the amyloid deposits associated with AL (Amyloid Light Chain) amyloidosis. Treatment aims to prevent the further production of abnormal light chains while monitoring and treating any problems affecting your organs.
Jackie shares her story below
I first started to notice something wasn't quite right when I was on holiday in Egypt in 2012. I was having problems with my breathing, nausea and weight gain. At first I thought nothing of it, but when it continued once I was home I made an appointment with my GP. Initial blood tests showed nothing, and we thought it might be a virus. However when my symptoms worsened, my GP sent me for further tests and scans. It wasn't until I had an ultrasound that the sonographer identified areas of swelling around my heart, which sent alarm bells in my mind. I was put on medication for my heart and blood pressure and underwent further tests. Doctors were unsure of a diagnosis and it wasn't until the heart specialist at my local hospital that contacted the Haematology Department, who in turn then made contact with Dr Simon Gibbs, Haematologist at Manchester Royal Infirmary, that they thought it might be Amyloidosis.
Receiving my diagnosis
Although it sounds odd, when I finally got my diagnosis I was relieved. I'd spent the past six months worrying about what was causing my health to deteriorate. I saw it as the start of a journey, where I now had to concentrate on finding the best treatment possible and getting better. I started my chemotherapy and steroid treatment, currently used to prevent further protein build up, and it started off well. But then one evening my daughter noticed something wasn't quite right and I had to be admitted to A&E. This was due to the side effects of the treatment I was receiving and is a common problem. It was decided that I should re start treatment on a reduced dosage to reduce the side effects and this worked well with my protein levels dropping low enough to have some time off the treatment. Unfortunately about a year later my protein levels began to rise and at this point we started to look at different treatment options.
Opportunity to take part in research
It was my consultant at the Manchester Royal Infirmary who suggested that I consider taking part in a new clinical trial they were recruiting for. As I mentioned previously I like to think positively and saw this as an option, to not only help improve my health, but potentially find a treatment for others with Amyloidosis. I read up a lot about the research and what it might mean for me. I also spoke to my previous consultant, who gave my original diagnosis, to see what he thought. There was no pressure to take part and the research team were on hand to answer any questions I had about taking part.
Taking part in a trial
After I received my first treatment on the trial drug, I was expecting to have a lot of side effects but I actually felt better, with a really good reduction in my nausea. I have been on the study for 27 cycles of treatment and continue to participate in the study, I'm happy to say that I'm currently in remission from Amyloidosis. As part of the study I've built up really good relationships with the doctors and research nurses who run the study. Study visits are worked in around my standard clinical appointments, so I don't have to interrupt my life to attend hospital on multiple days. The additional care I receive as part of the study, such as regular monitoring and scans, reassures me that if my health deteriorates it will be picked up quickly.
Final thoughts
Since being on the trial, I've recommended others to consider research trials as an option. I've met many people through visits to the Amyloidosis specialist centre in and we have discussed how research is a great opportunity to get. If it means that we can play a role in developing new treatments for the future, I don't see why anyone would turn that offer down.

Yes kiddies, that's right. More silliness in the war of the next-generation DVD format. Until recently, HP was a tried and true Blu-ray supporter, giving the Sony-based format a little extra zing from the computer side of things. But, all good things must come to an end and now, HP is playing both sides of the fence, announcing that it will also embrace HD-DVD (joining Microsoft and Intel). Et tu HP? One reason given for this turnabout is Sony's inability to support iHD technology (which allows for more interactive features and which appeals greatly to PC companies). Oh, well. Just one more nail in the coffin for those of us who have to decide which format to buy in the next few years. Thanks again guys, this is really helpful.

Research Topic C-2 "Climate Change, Predictions, and Economy" addresses two major themes that require integration across scales as well as across a large set of CliSAP-disciplines in dealing with climate, geography, agriculture, economy, and security. Both themes aim at creating strategic input for future climate negotiations.
The theme Consistent decadal climate and economic predictions and projections investigates consistent mitigation scenarios, while the theme Impact chains activated through hydrological changes deals with climate change impacts in two of the largest emerging economies, China and India. Because these two countries play crucial roles in climate negotiations aimed at mitigation, our two themes cross-fertilize each other in their interplay of climate change adaption and mitigation aspects.
