The day started early and lingered on a long time. I became immersed in the papers. One of the great leaps forward provided by the internet has been the free availability of the half truths and downright lies offered by the UK media. On top of the slanted items on view comes the readership, both those who succumb to the propaganda and those who oppose. To give an impression that a great many of those who add their comment at the foot of these stories, and stories must be the word, are small minded, blind, self seeking cretins might be a wee bit wide of the mark, or maybe might not! Which is worse I wonder, the distorted news item or the distorted reader, it's a difficult one.
The brazen manner in which the media offers tales based simply on what the reader wishes to read, yes 'Daily Mail,' I mean you, is simply staggering. The desire of folks to read and accept what is published staggers also adding more than a hint of worry about just who is sitting next to you on the bus! A direct opposite news priority wise is of course the 'Guardian.' While the 'Daily Mail,' appeals to those of the lower middle class and those working class Tory voters aspiring to be 'middle class,' the Guardian's appeal is to the liberal middle class. That is those educated, or indoctrinated might be a better word, by their class fellows and proudly boast of their ability to think, yet manage to come out with the same opinions! These opinions are on the whole totally opposed to those underlying the 'Daily Mail.'
Each paper on offer aims only at its readership an attitude leading to a desperate lowering of standards such as they were in the hope of keeping the paper afloat. UK papers have lost half their sales in the past ten years and some now ask for money from those of us reading their online versions. 'The Times,' one of Murdoch's papers, now offers his opinions at a cost, his already dumbed down 'Sun,' now also asks for a contribution. Neither get any shekels from me.
The advantage of online versions is the ability to increase advertising that reaches the soul of the reader, so far none has reached this soul as far as I can see. The disadvantage is employees are required to moderate the online comments offered by those seeking fame, attention, a soapbox and being able to anonymously project these to the world via a keyboard.
What are you looking at me for?
Cost cutting has hit 'journalism' hard. Proper journalists as well as tabloid ones have lost their jobs and we find their meaningless drivel now presented by 'Workies.' That is those offered a full time 'interns' job with no pay. These are willingly accepted by young trainees desperate to break into the business, a year later heard offering the famous cry, "Do you want fries with that?" One job workies do is moderating comments. No doubt some are good at this, no doubt someone with appropriate training is able to weed out the libelous stuff before it goes out to the world. One thing is clear, any comment that criticises the paper itself is almost always removed! Don't ask how I know, just believe me. The Guardian allows all sorts of perversions to be aired yet will not allow a degree of sarcasm or disagreement, either removing the offending post, moderating the offenders next posts, or banning them altogether for a while. Don't ask how I know this either. Many of
Those who comment fit certain boxes. In the 'Daily Telegraph,' now dumbed down into an upper middle class 'daily Mail, these chaps, and it is mostly 'chaps,' are concerned only with the Conservative Party's main concern, money! Almost everything comes down to the economy. So unlike the 'Daily Mail' where almost everything come down to, er the pound in your pocket. Both have many commentators happy to follow the agreed line, even if it is absurd, thus revealing a great deal about the attitudes of the average Englishman, and they are mostly English. The anti-Europe UKIP Party will gain many votes from this crowd, especially in the 'Daily Mail,' while the 'Guardian' sees that party as racist and against all immigrants, gays and blacks. Neither see what is actually written by the other, neither wish to, the papers and the comments are merely to support personal opinion not offer facts to enlighten.
On several occasions I have quietly posted obvious facts on papers, the abuse received is worse than that offered by women I have worked with! I am talking about clear obvious facts, not the 'wind ups' I sometimes accidentally offer for consideration. On occasion I am amazed at the closed mind seen on the comments sections, I am so pleased my mind is always open to others ideas, as long as they are not ones I disagree with.......
I expect all comments to be open minded, thoughtful and generous, other wise they get banned!

Near Young Harris in Union County, Georgia — The American South (South Atlantic)
Trackrock Gap
One tradition calls it the landing place of a big canoe containing survivors of a worldwide flood, and the heavens are supposed to thunder when a stranger approaches.
Erected by Works Progress Administration. (Marker Number US 76 C-1.)
Marker series. This marker is included in the Works Progress Administration (WPA) projects marker series.
Location. Marker has been reported missing. It was located near 34° 54.638′ N, 83° 52.065′ W. Marker was near Young Harris, Georgia, in Union County. Marker was at the intersection of Young Harris Highway (U.S. 76) and Trackrock Gap Road, on the right when traveling east on Young Harris Highway. Touch for map. Marker was in this post office area: Young Harris GA 30582, United States of America. Touch for directions.
Other nearby markers. At least 8 other markers are within 10 miles of this location, measured as the crow flies Brasstown Bald (was here, next to this marker but has been reported missing. ); Track Rock Gap (approx. 2 miles away); a different marker also named Brasstown Bald (approx. 4.1 miles away); Union County (approx. 5.7 miles away); Towns County (approx. 6.8 miles away); Byron Herbert Reece (approx. 9.3 miles away); a different marker also named Brasstown Bald (approx. 9½ miles away); In Memory Our War Dead (approx. 9.7 miles away in North Carolina).
More about this marker. The marker has been missing since 2000. As there is no agency in Georgia responsible for the maintenance of WPA markers, it is very unlikely to be replaced.

Think Inside the Box
The Block N logo is always an "N" inside of a box. Whether it's on a dark or light background, our "N" never stands alone. Our logo is available in a standard version for white or light backgrounds, and a "reversed" version for presentation on a dark background. The following variations allow for flexibility for use in different types of communications. The Block N logo can be used either alone or in combination with the words "University of Nevada, Reno" in vertical and horizontal formats.Download logos here
Block N
Vertical Format
Horizontal Format
Logo Usage
What is the logo?
The Block N logo consists of a custom "letterman-style" slab-serif "N" surrounded by a perfectly square field of blue. The "N" must always appear inside the square. On a dark background, a white stroke must appear around the square.
When should I use the logo?
All of the time, on every publication and website. The logo must be on the cover of all publications and promotional items. The logo can be a part of a die-cut or embossed.
How about websites?
The University logo should appear on all websites, preferably in the upper left-hand corner of the site. See University Home Page or College of Engineering or College of Education for examples.
Can I change the color?
No. The printed logo should appear in one of the official colors. If printing in 1 or 2 colors, one color must always be black or PMS 282 (Blue). In CMYK, please use the equivalent process color.
Can I apply special effects?
No. The logo should appear unaltered in every application and should not be stretched or have a drop shadow or any other effect applied. The bounding box should always appear around the N and the proportion of the N should not be changed within the box. Do not crop the blue space around the N. On a blue or dark background, the box around the logo should have a white "stroke" or outline. The logo should stand alone. Any type or images around the logo should not obscure or crowd it. The clear space around the logo must be at least half the height of the Block N logo.
Can I have my own logo?
No. Secondary logos should not be created. However, on occasion, Marketing & Communications reserves the right to create special identifiers for University units to assist them with marketing objectives.
Is there a minimum size for the Block N logo?
The logo should be proportional to size of your publication, promotional item, or website. The minimum size for the Block N is ¼˝; however, this size is appropriate only for promotional items like pens and pencils. If the logo is used in combination with the logotype, the overall height should be no smaller than ¾˝.

What is Bioinformatics?
Bioinformatics is the application of computer technology to the management of biological
information. Computers are used to gather, store, analyze and integrate biological
and genetic information which can then be applied to scientific research, gene-based
drug discovery and development. The need for bioinformatics capabilities has been
precipitated by the explosion of publicly available genomic information resulting
from the Human Genome Project. The goal of this project – determination of the sequence
of the entire human genome (approximately three billion base pairs) was reached
in 2003. The science of bioinformatics, which is the melding of molecular biology
with computer science, is essential to the use of genomic information in understanding
biological evolution, human diseases, and in the identification of new molecular
targets for drug discovery. In recognition of this, many universities, government
institutions and pharmaceutical firms have formed bioinformatics groups, consisting
of computational biologists and bioinformatics computer scientists. Such groups
will be key to unraveling the mass of information generated by large scale sequencing
efforts underway in laboratories around the world.
What are the most common Bioinformatics programs?
Everyday bioinformatics is done with sequence search programs like BLAST, sequence
analysis programs, like the EMBOSS and Staden packages, structure prediction programs
like THREADER or PHD or molecular imaging/modelling programs like RasMol and WHAT
- NetSurfP - Protein Surface Accessibility and Secondary Structure Predictions
- NetTurnP - Prediction of Beta-turn regions in protein sequences
- MODELLER - Used for homology or comparative modeling of protein three-dimensional structures
- AutoDock - Suite of Automated Docking Tools
- Gromacs - A molecular dynamics package primarily designed for biomolecular systems such as proteins and lipids
What are the most common Bioinformatics technologies?
Currently, a lot of bioinformatics work is concerned with the technology of databases.
These databases include both "public" repositories of gene data like GenBank
or the Protein DataBank (the PDB), and private databases, like those used by research
groups involved in gene mapping projects or those held by biotech companies. Making
such databases accessible via open standards is very important. Consumers of bioinformatics
data use a range of computer platforms: from the more powerful and forbidding UNIX
boxes favoured by the developers and curators to the far friendlier Macs often found
populating the labs of computer-wary biologists.
Databases of existing sequencing data can be used to identify homologues of new molecules that have been amplified and sequenced in the lab. The property of sharing a common ancestor, homology, can be a very powerful indicator in bioinformatics.
How is data analyzed in Bioinformatics?
Bioinformatics tools can be used to obtain sequences of genes or proteins of interest,
either from material obtained, labeled, prepared and examined in electric fields
by individual researchers/groups or from repositories of sequences from previously
investigated material.
Both types of sequence can then be analyzed in many ways with bioinformatics tools.
They can be assembled. Note that this is one of the occasions when the meaning of a biological term differs markedly from a computational one (see the amusing confusion over the issue at Web-based geek forum Slashdot). Computer scientists, banish from your mind any thought of assembly language. Sequencing can only be performed for relatively short stretches of a biomolecule and finished sequences are therefore prepared by arranging overlapping "reads" of monomers (single beads on a molecular chain) into a single continuous passage of "code". This is the bioinformatic sense of assembly.
They can be mapped***---that is, their sequences can be parsed to find sites where so-called "restriction enzymes" will cut them.
They can be compared, usually by aligning corresponding segments and looking for matching and mismatching letters in their sequences. Genes or proteins that are sufficiently similar are likely to be related and are therefore said to be "homologous" to each other---the whole truth is rather more complicated than this. Such cousins are called "homologs".
If a homolog (a related molecule) exists, then a newly discovered protein may be modeled---that is the three dimensional structure of the gene product can be predicted without doing laboratory experiments.
Bioinformatics is used in primer design. Primers are short sequences needed to make many copies of (amplify) a piece of DNA as used in PCR (the Polymerase Chain Reaction).
Bioinformatics is used to attempt to predict the function of actual gene products.
Information about the similarity, and, by implication, the relatedness of proteins is used to trace the "family trees" of different molecules through evolutionary time.
There are various other applications of computer analysis to sequence data, but, with so much raw data being generated by the Human Genome Project and other initiative in biology, computers are presently essential for many biologists just to manage their day-to-day results
Molecular modelling / structural biology is a growing field which can be considered part of bioinformatics. There are, for example, tools which allow you (often via the Net) to make pretty good predictions of the secondary structure of proteins arising from a given amino acid sequence, often based on known "solved" structures and other sequenced molecules acquired by structural biologists.
Structural biologists use "bioinformatics" to handle the vast and complex data from X-ray crystallography, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and electron microscopy investigations and create the 3-D models of molecules that seem to be everywhere in the media.
How is BioINFO Project involved with Bioinformatics?
BioINFO Project, a division of Pangaea Biosciences, was created as a free, open source platform for students, educators, and researchers. At Pangaea Biosciences, we value the importance of scientific excellence. We strongly believe the field(s) of biotechnology:bioinformatics present a number of vital opportunities.

Special KMUD News programming aired today giving updates on the latest news about the Lodge Lightning Complex, including homeowners reacting to the Lodge Lightning Complex Evacuation Order given last night (Friday, Aug., 8). Use the SoundCloud player below to hear this program.
The following information and maps were supplied by Bob Barsotti, dated Saturday, August 9, 2014 at 9:43 AM:
"The fire has crossed the fire line on Brushy Mountain and has burned approx 200acres on the east side of the line. They are hitting it hard w/ aircraft today, both heli & fixed wing. They have two new heli's here called sky cranes that are dipping at the gel plant set up at Alder Springs Vineyards pond and dumping the retardant on the fires. Today they are focussing on creating a new fire break through the rangeland east of the fire and west of Hwy 101 trying to make a disconnect if the fire heads further east today. The fire has also crossed the Eel at the mouth of 10 Mile canyon and will probably burn up to Camp Seabow today. They are pretty confidant they can stop it there, but they also felt that way yesterday on Brushy Mt. They are also focusing on stopping it from spreading towards Tan Oak Park by using the fixed wing aircraft dropping retardant all along the line there."
"Here are three maps showing the fire perimeter, the air ops, and the section map. I was especially impressed in the briefing of the pilots this AM when Calfire told them that after dipping in the gel plant, if they aren't sent right back for another load they need to go to their clean out dip to clean their tanks and hoses in case their next mission is to the river, as they cannot dip in the river with retardant in their systems. Hat's off to Calfire for their extreme attention to detail in the midst of chaos."

Just Be
By Luna Woodhouse
Do you see the beauty
In the nature which surrounds you?
Do you gaze up at the moonlit sky
And ponder what confounds you?
Can you feel the cleansing rain
That feeds the Earth, your home?
Have you wrapped your arms around a tree
And known you're not alone?
Do you ever watch in wonder
The dancing autumn leaves?
And can you see that everyone
Is just what they believe?
Can you sense the energy
In the power of a storm?
Do you realise you have free will
Yet choose still to conform?
Could you explain the sheer perfection
Of an intricate snowflake?
The geometric patterns formed
Upon a frozen lake?
Or the messages in crops that
Hold the key to all mankind?
Does sunshine on a windy day
Blow cobwebs from your mind?
When were last your senses
Intoxicated by the scent of a flower?
Did rainbows trapped in floating bubbles
Release your inner power?
When did you last re-create yourself
While standing by a stream?
Did the crystal clarity of water
Return a long forgotten dream?
Have you ever sought to heal yourself
Or reach beyond this dimension?
To realise that fear was
Always just your own invention?
Do you trust yourself enough to know
You truly can assist
All living beings to heal themselves,
Of creations that persist?
Have you ever seen the pictures
In a fire's dying embers?
Can you imagine the tranquillity
When the entire world remembers?
Can you close your eyes and give yourself
The strength of the mighty sea?
Or do you know the simplest thought?
All you need to do is "be".

text: A senior Chinese military officer has been handed a suspended death sentence for corruption after he was exposed as owning dozens of homes, gold statues and luxury liquor, state media said. The official Xinhua news agency said on Monday that Gu Junshan was found "guilty of corruption, accepting bribes, embezzlement of public funds, paying bribes and abuse of power," citing a military court. Last year, widespread coverage of his opulent lifestyle indicated that authorities wanted to publicise his alleged misdeeds. The former deputy director of the army's General Logistics Department, Gu was first investigated more than three years ago. He owned dozens of apartments in central Beijing, and his mansion in Puyang in the central province of Henan housed several gold art pieces, the magazine Caixin reported at the time. The Puyang home was modelled on the Forbidden City - the former imperial palace in Beijing - and covered one hectare of land. It was dubbed the "General's Mansion" by locals, the magazine said. Officials seized "a gold boat, a gold wash basin and a gold statue of Mao Zedong" along with crates of expensive liquor from his mansion in Puyang in the central province of Henan, the magazine Caixin reported at the time. Low-ranking official 'embezzled $130m' Also on Monday, Zhang Peishan, a former low-ranking agricultural services official in a Beijing suburb, was arrested for allegedly embezzling more than $130m. China has been struggling to clean up corruption that has been seen as weakening the military's moral and fighting ability. Since taking power in late 2012, President Xi Jinping, who is also head of the armed forces, has made the crackdown on military corruption a centrepiece of his sweeping drive against graft in the government and ruling Communist Party.

With over 50k Instagram followers, Susan Lynn, @stylebysusanlynn, is one of the leading ladies when it comes to home decor and lifestyle blogging. Her beautiful Georgian Colonial estate in New York is one to see, both from the outside and in. On her Instagram, Susan shares pictures of various home projects, events, and the many rooms her home has, all of which continues to be a inspiration to those looking to redecorate their own home. I have been following Susan on the social media app for some time now and I know I get more motivated to get up and get things done around the house. Her home is about 6,000 sq feet with a back house, swimming pool, and garden. Just the entrance to her home caught my attention. You would have to drive up a very long drive way with large and full trees on both sides. Occasionally, Susan shares glimses of her property in videos she post on Instagram story. As you pull up to the house, you can overlook a large open grass area in front of this estate.
I had the honor of interviewing Susan to get her opinions and views about decorating a home, her list of favorite bloggers, and tips when decorating your own home. Read below to see what she has to say and to see photos of her home! Be sure to follow her on Instagram: @stylebysusanlynn
- How big is your home?
Almost 6,000 sq feet (I think)
- Which room is your favorite and why?
The sunroom is my favorite. From the pretty aqua color to the heated floors to the greenery growing, it makes it feel warm and cozy and year round. And here in NY warm toes in the winter is a very nice thing.
- When did you start decorating your home and what made you love it? How did you get started?
We bought our home three years ago and I fell in love with it even before we saw the house. The driveway is long and tree-lined and when we got to the top and it opened up to the house it felt magical. When we moved in the movers had taped cardboard to the flooring to protect the floors but the tape ripped the finish off the floors so that was the first design project we had to take on, we couldn't unpack for months and lived in the basement while the floors were being worked on in the entire house.
- How would you describe the style of your interior design?
I would describe my style in this home as transitional, a modern traditional that works with the homes style.
- What are your favorite stores to buy decorations and furniture?
I'm a big fan of Raymour and Flanagan for home furnishings. What they don't have out on the floor can be ordered through hundreds of manufacturers books they keep in their offices. And I love Home Goods for their quirky fun pieces. And Wayfair is amazing! But for decorating my home, the most fun pieces I have are probably from our travels. I bring something home with me from every trip because it creates a memory and a story.
- Who are some of your favorite home bloggers?
I love @blountdesigns because her style is similar to mine but softer and more feminine. And I love @sumhouse_sumwear because her style is similar to mine also but deeper and more dramatic! So we three cover the spectrum in transitional style! Lol But I have soooo many favorites like @kristywicks for her gorgeous details and she understands proportion so well, and @randigarrettdesigns beautiful home and amazing new kitchen, and @summeradamsdesigns for her unabashed love of pink and gorgeous detailed styling, and @citrineliving dramatic use of color and art and ability to layer elements of design, and @oldsilvershed just because every single inch is comforting gorgeousness, and @decorgold because of her stunning take on classic design in a beautiful neutral palette, and @loithai for his love of New England design and his gorgeous gardens and topiaries, and @kelleynan who is the queen of tablescapes, and an amazing sweetheart of a girl, and decorates like no one else!
There are truly soooo many home bloggers I love I could answer this question all day! Lol
- What is an essential item you think everyone needs in his or her home or office?
I think everyone needs seating for a guest in a home office. No matter how big or small, add an extra comfortable seat in a corner or across from a desk. Doing paperwork or working from home is tedious so having a place for someone else to come sit for a moment to chat or a spot for a business client to be seated in is a must! That and a gorgeous desk lamp!!!
- What advice would you give to someone who wants to decorate their home?
Don't try to fill your home all at once. Let it evolve with you. It's ok to have blank walls and an empty room until you find the things that speak to you. My formal living room was empty for over a year until I found the furnishings that were in the vision in my head. And save money for statement pieces instead of filling a space with "more". The grand pieces you will have forever! Also don't be afraid of paint color, it's just paint! You can always repaint it!
- You have a large and amazing property. Is it hard to maintain everything? (From gardening, cleaning, maintenance, etc!)
Yes, it's a ton of work maintaining all of these manicured acres and this large house. And that's a great question because if you don't have the luxury of someone else doing all the yard work and housework (and we don't!) then you have to really think through the decision of buying a big home on a large lot. I dream of the day that I'll retire to a small cottage on the beach with a porch to swing on and light airy furniture and just relax!!!

New York Oil & Gas Enforcement - Public Participation
Enforcement Data – inaccessible, prevents public oversight
We tried to speak with a representative of the New York DMR Bureau of Oil and Gas Permitting and Management about obtaining statistics on inspections, violations, and complaints relating to existing wells and facilities.[1] However, our calls were not returned. Eventually, in response to an email request for information on these topics, Earthworks received this reply:
"The Division of Mineral Resources does not currently have a database for the information requested below. We are preparing to have one in operation at the time high-volume hydraulic fracturing activities are approved to go forward in the state. We do have paper records located in the field offices where the proposed wells were drilled. The record [sic] are filed by county, operator and by well name. You can review the paper records at our . . . offices."[2]
Some data are publicly available, such as statistics on inspections, enforcement actions and penalties collected for oil and gas violations, but no detailed information is currently available on-line. This makes it very difficult for the public to monitor oil and gas operations.
DEC must ensure that adequate resources are put toward increasing transparency of oil and gas facility data and oil and gas enforcement data. These systems should be put in place before shale development is allowed to occur in the state.
Citizen complaints - need more attention
According to the DMR Bureau of Oil and Gas Permitting and Management web site, the Bureau investigates and resolves citizen complaints and non-routine incidents. As with other enforcement-type information, the Bureau currently does not track citizen complaints in a manner that is accessible to the public.[3]
Other states track and publish data on citizen complaints. The Texas Railroad Commission publishes quarterly statistics on complaints. Colorado Oil and Gas Conservation Commission (COGCC) publishes complaints statistics in its staff reports, and COGCC's online database enables users to view the 5,000 most recent complaints.
Citizen complaints can be an important barometer of industry behavior, and citizens can provide a crucial early warning of problems at oil and gas sites. In Texas, the oil and gas regulatory agency has stated that "Citizens are viewed as extra eyes to help the RRC [Railroad Commission] identify problems.."[4] In 2009, the RRC received 681 complaints related to oil and gas and found 1,997 violations based on these complaints.[5] In Pennsylvania, complaints led to the discovery of at least 700 violations between 2007 and 2011.
To utilize the "extra eyes" of citizens, however, state oil and gas agencies like DEC must work cooperatively with citizens and dedicate sufficient resources to track and respond effectively to citizen complaints.
At the present time DEC does not appear to be dedicating enough resources to citizen complaints. Currently, the investigation of water well complaints in relation to oil and gas development is not always handled by DEC.[6] Based on information in the SGEIS, it is not clear if the DEC will only respond to water complaints that occur during oil and gas drilling, or whether DEC will also investigate water complaints if they occur close to established oil and gas wells or other oil and gas facilities (such as chemical storage areas). All citizen complaints related to water contamination, especially those involving methane, hydrocarbons, or chemicals in water, should be followed up by DEC regardless of the stage of oil and gas development.
DEC should be fostering relationships with the public by ensuring that citizen complaints are taken seriously and are resolved in a timely manner. Part of strengthening relationships involves increasing transparency by creating a publicly accessible database that documents all complaints, and includes information on how DEC responds to and resolves citizen complaints.

3 On Sept. 27, 2011 a request was made by Earthworks to New York Division of Mineral Resource's Bureau of Oil and Gas Permitting and Management for information regarding citizen complaints: "Does the Bureau maintain a database on citizen complaints? Is this database accessible by the public? If it is not publicly accessible, can you provide any statistics on the number of citizen complaints related to oil and gas facilities in the years 2005 through 2011? Also, do you keep records on how the complaints were dealt with (were there inspections? did these inspections uncover any violations?" The response from DMR was "The Division of Mineral Resources does not currently have a database for the information requested. . . We are preparing to have one in operation at the time high-volume hydraulic fracturing activities are approved to go forward in the state." Email from DMR, Sept. 30, 2011.

6 DEC has proposed that "county health departments retain responsibility for initial response to most water well complaints, referring them to the Department when causes other than those related to drilling have been ruled out. The exception to this is when a complaint is received while active operations are underway within a specified distance; in these cases, the Department will conduct a site inspection . . .

Dogs enjoy a great many different chew toys, bones and nylon substitutes and other objects designed for chewing, but rawhides are one of their favorites.
Nevertheless, there are some caveats about this popular chewing option and human companions should verse themselves well in the specific health concerns presented by dog rawhide treats. This article will illustrate a few of the important advantages and concerns associated with rawhide.
By the end of this short reading, you will be able to make an educated decision concerning the health of your dog when enjoying this chewy treat.
The Good:
- The regular chewing on a rawhide treat is a good way to promote healthy gums and teeth. As they moisten the rawhide it becomes softer and wraps snugly around the dog's teeth. This comfortably massages the gums and teeth removing the plaque and improving circulation.
- A chewing strip made from rawhide is a great alternative to chewed chair legs shoes and other household objects. Dogs have to chew may as well be something healthy and enjoyable as well as disposable.
- Do you remember teething, probably not, but it was an uncomfortable experience. Young puppies cutting their teeth on rawhide will avoid the moderate to extreme discomfort of this natural process. Furthermore, a tough rawhide strip will help them develop stronger jaws.
- There is a good chance your dog will absolutely love them. Many pet owners overlook the possible downsides of rawhide when they see just how happy and content their dog is chewing away. While the advantages are great, it is also important to be aware of a few health concerns.
The Bad:
- Rawhide can be a potential choking hazard. After prolonged chewing, small bits and pieces of rawhide can be pulled from the strip and become lodged in the throat. This can cause breathing trouble and medical attention.
- Swallowed whole, the lump of rawhide can become lodged in the stomach and cause intestinal blockage. Rawhide absorbs the moisture and becomes larger and larger. Often surgery is the only way to save s faithful companions life.
- The risk of intestinal damage can develop over time as small morsels of rawhide accumulate in the digestive tract and create blockage.
- There are also not as many regulations governing the dog treat trade. This means that some of the products made by inferior manufacturers can actually be toxic to the dog's delicate digestive system.The Perfect Alternative — SOFT FLEXIBLE and DIGESTIVE DOG RAWHIDE by NEOS
NEOs has a superior product that dogs will love and owners will never regret. The soft flexible rawhide strips from NEOs offer the same oral-hygiene benefits as other varieties, but have none of the risks. The rawhides strips are tough enough for a good chew but soft enough to be digested and passed from the body with no risk of intestinal blockage.
NEOs Rawhides strips are completely non-toxic and the product of a patented process of cooking, slicing, and special preparations to create a treat that carries no risks and still satisfies the urge to chew.

Metformin and Weight Loss
Studies have shown mixed results on a possible link between weight loss and metformin. In most of the clinical studies, people taking metformin did report losing weight. However, the people in the studies who were not taking metformin also lost weight, and there was not a statistical difference between the two groups.
Weight Loss and Metformin: An OverviewMetformin (Glucophage®) is a prescription medication licensed for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. The drug is commonly thought to cause weight loss, although studies have shown mixed results.
Does Metformin Cause Weight Loss?In most of the studies of metformin before it was approved, people on metformin lost weight (1.4 to 8.4 pounds on average). However, the people in these studies who were not taking metformin also lost weight. The difference between the groups was not significant, meaning that there was no statistical difference between the two groups. In these studies, people were taking metformin to treat type 2 diabetes. It is not known if metformin has any effect on weight in people who do not have diabetes.
It is important to note that in most studies of metformin, people did not usually gain weight. Many other diabetes medications are known to cause weight gain, which is particularly undesirable for people with type 2 diabetes (who may already have problems with weight gain). So, even if metformin does not cause weight loss, it is often a good choice for overweight people with type 2 diabetes.
SummaryIt is not entirely clear if metformin causes weight loss for most people with type 2 diabetes. At the very least, however, it seems that people taking metformin do not gain weight (a common problem with many other diabetes medications). It is not known if metformin has any effect on weight in people who do not have diabetes.

In October 2015, I began PhD research at Queen's University Belfast. I differentiated in June 2016 and am currently working on compiling information from interviews and focus groups.
My work is in arts management and cultural policy and looking at the relationships between theatre companies, the artists they commission and work with, and the policy maker/funder who supports them.
I'm using stakeholder theory to explore the behaviour and perceptions in these relationships and to see if it can provide better understanding of what is being described as a 'crisis' in theatre in the UK around diversity and the sustainability of careers in performing arts.
I'm lucky to be supported in my research by both the School of Creative Arts and Queen's Management School and to have a full studentship from the Department of Employment and Learning.

[Press release from Helmholtz Zentrum München discussing publication in Cancer Cell] Press Release | Abstract | Graphical Abstract PUBLICATIONS (Ranked by impact factor of the journal) Dissecting the Tumor Myeloid Compartment Reveals Rare Activating Antigen-Presenting Cells Critical for T Cell Immunity Across multiple mouse tumor models and human tumor biopsies, scientists have delineated the intratumoral dendritic cell (DC) populations as distinct from macrophage populations. Within these, CD103+ DCs are extremely sparse and yet remarkably capable cytotoxic T cell stimulators. [Cancer Cell] Abstract | Graphical Abstract | Press Release miR-155 Promotes T Follicular Helper Cell Accumulation during Chronic, Low-Grade Inflammation Upon analyzing lymphocytes from inflamed versus healthy middle-aged mice, researchers found elevated numbers of T follicular helper cells, germinal center B cells, and autoantibodies, all occurring in a miR-155-dependent manner. [Immunity] Abstract A Minor Subset of Batf3-Dependent Antigen-Presenting Cells in Islets of Langerhans Is Essential for the Development of Autoimmune Diabetes Investigators found that the islets of Langerhans in young nonobese diabetic (NOD) mice contained two antigen-presenting cell populations: a major macrophage and a minor CD103+ dendritic cell (DC) population. In order to examine the role of the CD103+ DCs in diabetes, they examined Batf3-deficient NOD mice that lacked the CD103+ DCs in islets and pancreatic lymph nodes. [Immunity] Abstract | Graphical Abstract Regulatory T Cells Suppress Muscle Inflammation and Injury in Muscular Dystrophy Investigators examined the hypothesis that regulatory T cells (Tregs) modulate muscle injury and inflammation in the mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Although Tregs were largely absent in the muscle of wild-type mice and normal human muscle, they were present in necrotic lesions, displayed an activated phenotype, and showed increased expression of interleukin-10 in dystrophic muscle from mdx mice. [Sci Transl Med] Abstract | Press Release MicroRNA-Mediated Regulation of mTOR Complex Components Facilitates Discrimination between Activation and Anergy in CD4 T Cells Researchers investigated whether microRNAs affect the interpretation of T cell receptor signaling. They found that Dicer-deficient CD4 T cells fail to correctly discriminate between activating and anergy-inducing stimuli and produce IL-2 in the absence of co-stimulation. [J Exp Med] Abstract Interleukin-1α Released from HSV-1-Infected Keratinocytes Acts as a Functional Alarmin in the Skin The authors report that herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1)-infected keratinocytes actively release the also pro-inflammatory interleukin (IL)-1α, preserving the ability of infected cells to signal danger to the surrounding tissue. In vivo recruitment of leukocytes to early HSV-1 microinfection sites within the epidermis is dependent upon IL-1 signaling. [Nat Commun] Abstract TLR-Dependent Phagosome Tubulation in Dendritic Cells Promotes Phagosome Cross-Talk to Optimize MHC-II Antigen Presentation Investigators show that phagosomal tubules in dendritic cells are functionally distinct from those that emerge from lysosomes and are unique adaptations of the phagocytic machinery that facilitate cargo exchange and antigen presentation among Toll-like receptor (TLR)-signaling phagosomes. [Proc Natl Acad Sci USA] Abstract CD8 T Cells in Innate Immune Responses: Using STAT4-Dependent but Antigen-Independent Pathways to Gamma Interferon during Viral Infection Primary infections of mice with lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus (LCMV) demonstrate that although the elicited antigen-specific CD8 T cells acquired signal transducer and activator of transcription 4 (STAT4)-dependent innate cytokine responsiveness for interferon (IFN)-γ and CD25 induction ex vivo, T cell receptor stimulation induced these through STAT4-independent pathways. During secondary infections, LCMV-immune CD8 T cells had STAT4-dependent IFN-γ expression at times of innate cytokine induction but subsequently expanded through STAT4-independent pathways.

With any type of supplement, there will be side effects.
This is certainly the case with Survival Shield X2, however most people should not worry about them at all. That being said, I'm not a doctor, and I'm not giving out medication advice.
This information is based on tons of research, however people who are very concerned should consult with their doctors, especially if you're taking medications.
But if you're just interested in learning if there are any major side effects with Survival Shield X2 before buying, I'll outline them here.
Side Effects From Various Customers
Based on over 1000 reviews, here are the major side effects:
- No results
- Results reduced after a period of time
- I didn't like the taste
- Didn't know how to take it – read the dosage guidelines here.
The worst side effect from this supplement is that it didn't work. Some people just didn't see results.
This happens with EVERY single supplement, as certain people just don't react to the ingredients.
This is an iodine supplement, which is an essential nutrient for the body. If you have adequate levels, you may not experience any results by taking this supplement.
Over time, people's results may diminish as their bodies are now becoming accustomed to proper levels of iodine. So initially some people will see big results because they had very low levels, then the results start to flatten out.
This particular product has a sweeter taste, and some people did not like it. You can always mix it with water to avoid the taste if you don't like it.
Some people just didn't react well. This is normal, as everyone is unique and has a unique lifestyle and diet.
As with any supplement, just start off with a low to normal dosage, and track how you feel during the first few weeks. If you don't react well, consider stopping your supplementation.
Positive Results Outweigh these Side Effects
Out of the thousands of people who decided to post a review, almost all of them were favourable.
For most people, the side effects of this particular supplement are nothing to worry about.
I recommend you read the full review on Survival Shield X2 here, and decide if it's something worth taking for you.

Varilight V-Pro 1 Gang 2 Way Screwless LED Dimmer Switch Description
This 1-gang LED dimmer switch is from Varilight™, the market-leaders in creative and innovative switch and socket design.
Varilight has definitely achieved something very special and unusual here, as this switch surprisingly manages to combine both the traditional and the modern!
Its rotary action switch expresses the former quality, whilst its screwless fascia in 7 distinctive and contemporary finishes, the latter. These finishes also reflect this range of tastes, from Victorian and Georgian Brass through Mirror Chrome, to Iridium and Jet Blacks.
These rotary dimmer switches have been designed with your convenience in mind, as they're able to retrofit into your existing light switch wiring, simply replacing your current, possibly outmoded model.
This versatile switch is eminently suitable for use with an enormous number of our dimmable LED lights, and our bestselling GU10 and AR111 LED bulbs.
If you're thinking of re-vamping your whole home, or just a couple of rooms, you might like to know that this screwless, 2-way LED dimmer switch is also available in 2-gang, 3-gang and 4-gang varieties.
And if variety is the spice of your life, we also have similarly-equipped dimmer switches, with traditional screw-in fascias, in V-Pro and V-Com versions, also from Varilight™. We have available a huge selection of high quality Rotary dimmer switches.
Speaking Of Switches...
With your home now equipped with wonderful new dimmer switches, you might be seeking a way to save money in other areas. Fortunately you won't have to look too far, as LED light bulbs will save you a significant amount on your monthly electricity expenditure.
The very fact that LEDs are so much more energy-efficient than traditional fluorescent and incandescent bulbs, consuming a fraction of the electricity for the same number of Lumens of brightness, is surely reason enough to make you seriously consider switching to them.
Their lower power requirement means they leave a considerably smaller carbon footprint than their more profligate counterparts.
Less electricity = fewer ecologically damaging CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons) created in its production.
This, along with the fact that LED bulbs contain none of the poisonous Mercury and emit none of the hazardous UV rays of fluorescents, leads to a much reduced negative impact on the environment.
LED bulbs also have a much longer working life expectancy than halogens. The bestselling GU10s mentioned earlier will go on functioning at full capacity for a massive 50,000 hours, which is 20 times the life of their old-school contemporaries!
Keep On Savin'
The incredible savings don't stop at your electricity bill. No, we also give you many more great opportunities to save £££s when you shop with us.
To save up to 20% on certain selected items, simply apply the appropriate promotional discount code before you proceed to the checkout.
In addition, we encourage people to become trade customers, because it gives access to our incredibly low wholesale prices!
14-Day Returns And Guarantee

This patch is a first attempt at creating a HostThread abstraction. This is based on previous discussion on the list. There are a few issues that still need to be worked out, but this is being posted preliminarily to deal with any high-level issues.
Key summary of changes:
- Threads inside the LLDB process are managed by the HostThread class.
- HostThread is a typedef for one of: {HostThreadWindows, HostThreadMacOSX, HostThreadFreeBSD}, all of which inherit from HostThreadBase which defines a common interface and set of utility functions.
- Create a new thread by calling ThreadRunner::LaunchThread()
- A new class named ThisThread is introduced which allows manipulation and inspection of the currently running thread. Current functionality only allows querying and setting the name.
One of the remaining issues is some deadlocks in ProcessPOSIX and ProcessLinux. I'm still not sure what's causing this, but am looking into it. Would appreciate some help from a Linux guru, although I will keep at it in the meantime.
I also plan to add more comments on the member functions in some of the header files for newly introduced classes.
This patch should apply cleanly on top of git revision a45429b9052517c6a2cb319a07f6b1d2c956ea3a, but due to the size of the patch it may not apply cleanly on top of other revisions. I tried to separate up the patch, but it was fairly difficult and I was unable to make it work cleanly.

989 Sports has not had the best of luck since the release of the Playstation 2. During the original Playstation's time they stood toe-to-toe with EA, especially in the football department. Their biggest boost was the year that EA took a year off with Madden, but when the Playstation 2 rolled around, EA left 989 Sports in its dust. It's been playing catch-up ever since.
This is my first experience with the MLB franchise on any system and I have heard rumblings that last year's iteration was exceedingly horrendous. If MLB 2005 is any indication of where 989 Sports is going with its titles this year, it may be the year they turn the corner and start to put up more of a fight against its entrenched competition.
This year 989 Sports has implemented use of the Eyetoy (I do not have one) to take a picture of yourself and put it on your own created player. They also allow the use of the USB headset (don't own this either) to bark commands instead of doing them with your controller. There is a franchise mode that has some of the Owner-type things you saw in EA's Madden game this year. They also have Simulation Mode which shows you the game pitch by pitch and you can decide when to jump in. Basically it's a closer look than MVP Baseball's simulation ability where you can jump in at any half inning.
Let's see how well MLB 2005 stacks up.
The graphics aren't spectacular, but they certainly look better than anything I've seen 989 Sports put forth on the Playstation 2. Animations are pretty good, although not as smooth or in-depth as the Xbox version of MVP Baseball 2004 this year. Where it does supercede MVP is that jaggies are largely not present in this game. I don't see jaggies on the mound or anywhere dirt touches grass. During replays the outlines of the players don't look jagged either, so that's a good thing. The game also runs at 60fps in offline games.
The only fielding graphical glitch I saw was when a player slides into second base and stands up they will merge with the player on second base and create a two-headed monster with the same body or something akin to that. This happens very rarely, but it is right in front of you so you can't help but notice.
Ball physics are well done in this game as well. You hit a home run and the ball may bounce off the seats and back onto the field. In MVP Baseball 2004 and WSB2k3 if the ball ever went yard you would not see it hit anything once beyond the fence. The outfield seems a bit smaller in this game than MVP and fielding is much easier and has some nice animations of the players getting the ball and throwing it to the bases.
Uniforms get dirty unlike the World Series Baseball games up to this point (haven't seen ESPN Major League Baseball yet). Balls hit off the bat seem to react correctly as well, so all around this is a pretty good graphical presentation.
I'm not very fond of the sound in this game. Announcers Vin Scully and Dave Campbell do a good job, but sometimes they get the calls totally wrong. I personally have a bone to pick with Scully over his pronouncing of Twins first baseman Doug Mientkiewicz. He calls him "Mein-ko-witz" when it is pronounced "Min-kay-vich". Yes, it's a hard name to say, but the PA announcer certainly doesn't have a problem with his last name. Heck, the announcers in MVP Baseball 2004 even have a little side comment about Doug's name, but I digress.
The rest of the sound is okay at best. The crowd can get loud, but for the most part they are subdued. It's quite sad because it looks like almost every game, no matter what team is at home, is sold out. You'd figure that amount of crowd would get overly excited with their home team about to score a run, right? The batting and pitching sounds are good, but I dislike when they do the instant replay of a pitch with the sound of the ball as it moves through the air.
Music on the other hand is pretty good for what you hear of it. Alien Ant Farm, Jet and others are represented here. I will say that MLB 2005 has more well known bands than MVP 2004 had. Overall the sound section is okay at best.
Control is not as tight as what was found on MVP Baseball 2004, but it does a good job in all but one area: base running. It seems the base running in this game is stuck in MVP Baseball 2003 land where it was difficult to control the runners. The key problem with this game is that as the lead runner reaches a new base, the button controlling the player changes. Since the field is so "small" it's difficult to pull off a double with a shot that would easily do it in the real game. Oftentimes I found myself trapped between bases, so I just gave up on the whole base running aspect unless I was on second and needed to stretch for home.
Batting is pretty easy. You basically just hit the X button to hit. I have found that moving the left analog stick in different directions would help your trajectory, so it shares that in common with MVP Baseball 2004. The pitching interface is also pretty good and has some things that outdo MVP. You choose your pitch via the 4 face buttons and use X to deliver it. The cool thing about the pitches is that your aim for fastballs is right on, but the aim on the other pitches takes a bit of strategy. Just because you point the pitch for a sinker somewhere doesn't mean it's not going to drop on you, so you have to move your aim up a bit.
Overall the control is good, but not as good as MVP 2004 other than the more realistic pitcher aiming.
First off MLB 2005 does have a working franchise mode that gives accurate player progression points. It also has a pretty good franchise mode that adds some of the Owner mode options from Madden 2004. You can build new food places, re-do the grass in the stadium, do upgrades to the stadium, etc. You also have loan options so that you can pay for this stuff and hope that it generates enough revenue for your team to be above zero at the end of the year so you can do some signing and trading.
As in most franchise modes you have control over pretty much anything in the game. You have your general manager duties if you want, you can simulate a number of games and play others, etc. The menus are not as well laid out as MVP Baseball 2004 and that takes a lot off of this score. I had fun playing both this game and MVP, but for playing a straight game of baseball I would probably choose MVP over this game. The franchise mode will keep you interested though.
The other big thing this year is the online play. Big word of warning here though, you'll want to have broadband and the other person will want to have broadband to have a lag free game. If either party has 56k connection get ready for some lag and phantom balls going past your batter. The online play is fun though because Sony has the same type of front end they had on their football games late last year that shows you current scores of games in the real world and allows you to talk to people and set up games and tournaments.
As with most sports games, your reliance on franchise modes will mean the difference between a high value score and a low one. This game sits in the middle with its franchise mode. MLB 2005 is fun to play and it certainly has a working franchise mode (unlike MVP Baseball 2004), but I just wasn't as excited about the franchise mode in this game. Too much reliance on stadium and owner-type details for my liking (and I liked the Owner mode in Madden 2004) and you can pull yourself into a lot of debt when you keep on hitting the bank for loans…even with the New York Yankees, a team that never seems to be below zero in the profit department.
Online play is cool, but only as long as both parties have broadband connection. If one party doesn't you should be prepared for a lagfest. If I could test out the Headset and Eyetoy connection, I'm sure that would also make this game pretty cool as well and help the immersion factor. In order to have those options though you have to part with another $80 if you already don't own them and that makes this game a heavy investment for that. I would guess other 989 Sports games this year will use both options though.

What is it about the acrylic that so many dislike?
Quote from: Daniel Mastrofski on November 12, 2016, 01:10:54 PMWhat is it about the acrylic that so many dislike?Crude hairlines and lousy flow were the deal breakers for me - as in appalling. Also a general feeling that it was the most horrible liquid I've ever attempted to write with ... yeuch.
@ericp! Have you ever tried adding gum Arabic to your gouache? That adds a nice shine...although, it can extend the drying time (in my experience).

If you can move the drives:
1. back up your data TWICE
2. make sure you have a backuut plan

Kota Kinabalu: Kimanis and Sipitang have been earmarked by the State Government to be developed into oil towns, similar to Miri and Bintulu in Sarawak and Kerteh in Terengganu.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Musa Aman said it is the State Government's hope to develop Kimanis into another Kerteh for Sabah although it may take some time.
"I was told by people in Terengganu that it took 20 to 30 years for Kerteh to be where it is now, so we don't mind to start from the beginning.
"We hope Kimanis will be developed like Kerteh now but it will take time," he said after launching the First Borneo International Oil and Gas Conference and Exhibition at Magellan Sutera Hotel, Friday.
The Sabah Oil and Gas Terminal (SOGT) project is currently ongoing in Kimanis, which Musa said would start small but would be modern and well planned with a green environment. A masterplan had been prepared.
Another area was Sipitang where more than 2,000 acres have been earmarked by the State Government for oil and gas industry by the seaside.
"It will also have a deep sea port. We will be developing Kimanis and Sipitang concurrently," he said, adding that Sipitang and Kimanis were chosen because it can accommodate deep sea port and is near the oil fields.
In his speech, Musa said the State Government envisioned Kimanis to be developed into a "Common Facilities" township with a helicopter hanger and airstrip, industrial and occupational health clinics, supply base and warehouses, workshops and service centres and offices apart from training schools with up-to-date equipment.
The town would also have supporting infrastructure like hotels and hostels, restaurants, schools and places of worships.
"Gas from offshore Sabah will land at the Sabah Oil and Gas Terminal in Kimanis in 2013, and this is something we are looking forward to.
Gas will be available for the domestic market, as well as for the Bintulu LNG plant through the Sabah-Sarawak Gas Pipeline," he said.
Since gas would become an important energy source, the State Government was working with Petronas on a master plan to promote gas distribution infrastructure to bring this resource to homes, businesses, the transportation sector and for industries.
"We recognise that this is a long-term and capital-intensive plan," he said.
Oil production in Sabah started in 1975 from the Samarang field, with Shell being the only upstream operator, while the North Sabah Trunkline, the longest offshore submarine pipeline in South East Asia at that time was built in 1979.
As a key component of Sabah's economy, the oil and gas sector accounts for 8.2 per cent of the Gross Domestic Product and crude petroleum accounted for 37.4 per cent of Sabah's total export with an approximate value of RM13.9 billion in 2009, he said.
"The oil and gas industry plays an important role in the State's economy and it will certainly expand rapidly in future, bringing economic spin-offs that benefit the State's economy," he said.

Gone are the days when black and brown were the only options for neutral-colored footwear. It's time to say hello to the new neutrals: Blush, Rose Gold and Nude. These colors are not only totally on-trend but also incredibly versatile! And thanks to the rise of athleisure, wearing these colors in the latest Nike sneakers allows them to be dressed up or down for almost any occasion. Take a look at a few of our favorites!
At First Blush
Blush is the color we've been crushing on all year and it's still going strong! We love the Nike Air Max Motion this subtle pink hue. Try pairing it with an outfit that ties in the color up top (like this blazer!) or with a long dress with soft lines that offset the sportiness of the sneakers.
Fawning All Over
Wearing nude as a neutral is nothing new in the fashion world, but wearing nude-colored sneakers is an emerging trend that we can't get enough of! We paired the Nike Tanjun Racer with two polished looks that transition effortlessly from day to night. Try them with a casual dress or a posh plaid pant/blazer combo for a modern take on office attire.
Everything's Coming Up Rosy
We like to think of rose gold as blush's flashier cousin. And these Nike Flex Experience sneakers tie in just the right amount of shimmer with a metallic swoosh and lacing accent. Pair them with a top in a different shade of the same color family, along with trendy distressed denim.
For even more outfit ideas, watch these styles in action below!

acoberly needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 53 designs submitted by 10 freelance designers.
Love the Children Preschool and Daycare
Supply preschool training and education as well as daycare services to children between the ages of 2-5. Target audience would families or parents with children between this age group.
I did a sketch of what we were thinking of. Was thinking the heart might be in red and look like a paint brush made it. We saw rolling green hills across the entire scene with the teacher and child inside the heart walking with the sunset behind them. The teacher and child could almost be a silhouette and not very detailed. Almost like they were stick people drawn with a crayon by a young artist. The words Love the Children and Preschool and Daycare might be black in color and the sky might be blue. And of course the sun should be yellow and orange.
