In 2009, the United Kingdom was one of the first countries to implement the rollout of the People Living with HIV Stigma Index. This generated 5 reports, which can be found here. Findings were based on peer interviews with community members. Building on the success of the 2009 rollout, the 2015 Stigma Survey continued to engage with community while also gaining NHS Ethics approval, thus creating a more academically robust dataset.
Stigma Survey UK 2015
The adult survey was developed in collaboration with community members from a broad range of organisations or institutions, listed below. These people have markedly different backgrounds and their collective knowledge and experience, ensure both a high level of expertise as well as comprehensive representation among the key population groups that are affected by HIV.
The advisory group met regularly throughout the preparation of the survey, the implementation of the study and subsequent analysis of data as well as the dissemination of findings.
The members of the advisory group are affiliated with: FPA, Public Health England (PHE), National AIDS Trust (NAT), HIV Scotland, NAZ Project London, Leicester AIDS Support Services (LASS), All Party Parliamentary Group on HIV and AIDS (APPG), APPG for Sexual Health Northern Ireland, Scottish Parliament, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, Homerton University Hospital, British HIV Association (BHIVA) Nurses HIV Association (NHIVNA), Children's HIV Association (CHIVA), International AIDS Society (IAS), Positively UK, African Health Policy Network (AHPN) , Clinic Q, Terrence Higgins Trust (THT), University of Glasgow.
Young People's Stigma Survey UK
This survey was developed in collaboration with young people living with HIV from across the country. Experts in the field who research or work directly with young people living with HIV were also involved. The advisory group met regularly throughout the preparation of the survey and will continue to do so throughout the implementation of the study and subsequent analysis of data as well as the dissemination of findings.
If you are HIV positive and aged between 15 to 24 years, You are invited to share your unique experience and contribute to the knowledge around your rights and how stigma and discrimination affect the lives of young people living with HIV.

When Haskins was formed in 1935, some things were known about the acoustic properties of speech. The first acoustic synthesizer, constructed by Homer Dudley at Bell Laboratories, was demonstrated at the World's Fair in 1939. While it produced fairly convincing computer speech, it was not designed in itself to increase our knowledge of speech. The first synthesizer that could test acoustic properties easily was the Pattern Playback, developed at Haskins Laboratories by Frank Cooper in 1951. This device converts spectrographic pictures (also known as voiceprints) into sound, using either photographic copies of actual spectrograms or, alternatively, "synthetic" patterns which are painted by hand on a cellulose acetate base.
As people studied more and more spectrograms of real speech, they began to recognize which spectrogram patterns would be produced by which sound sequences. They began to try drawing just these simplified patterns on the Pattern Playback, and thus, in a sense, began investigating ways to code speech – to reduce it to the information-carrying essentials. In a systematic experiment, Pierre Delattre's expert knowledge was formulated as rules and patterns were drawn strictly according to these rules without reference to real speech spectrograms. This resulted in the first published notion of rule-based synthesis, where the synthesizer computes what patterns should be synthesized for a given sequence of speech text, in 1959.
This is called phonemic synthesis by rule. Ignatius Mattingly developed the first algorithm to automatically compute the prosody of speech—changes in pitch that we use to help signal the syntax of a sentence. To test his algorithm, he could not use the Pattern Playback, since fundamental frequency (pitch) can not be varied on it. Instead, he incorporated his rules in the synthesizer of John Holmes from Joint Speech Research Unit in England. In 1966, prosodic rules to match British English were successfully synthesized; an American-English set of prosodic and phonemic rules was demonstrated in 1968. The rules were used in a Haskins text-to-speech synthesizer demonstrated in 1973. A later version of the rules developed by Delattre and Mattingly was used in Dennis Klatt's formant synthesizer, developed at MIT, which gave rise to MITTalk in 1979, and KlattTalk and DECTalk in 1983. This formant synthesizer is still in use today in many text-to-speech applications.
The acoustic approach to speech is very useful, but we also wanted to know more directly how the speech articulators create the sounds we hear as speech. Paul Mermelstein developed a way to specify vocal tract shape simply in 1973; an articulatory synthesizer based on it and designed for perception studies was published in 1981 (Rubin et al.). Articulatory synthesis has continued to be studied at Haskins, through ASY and CASY. An articulatory synthesizer is in itself a model of the relation of the changing shape of the vocal tract to the changing acoustic waveform produced. The model built into a synthesizer can be tested against vocal tract and acoustic measurements on real human speakers; in turn, the data obtained from humans can be explained by reference to a model that can be more directly controlled. At present, no commercial synthesizers are based on articulatory synthesis; the gaps in our knowledge mean that they are either intelligible but with a restrictively small vocabulary, or not intelligible enough to be useable. But articulatory synthesis offers the possibility of modeling any speaker of any age, sex, or with some kinds of speech disorders, and of doing so the most directly, since the production process is modeled from direct imaging of the vocal tract. Once the basic foundations of articulatory synthesis are better worked out, it may be that the most flexible and useful speech synthesizers will take this approach rather than current approaches.
The research aimed at improving synthesis led also to many significant findings about speech perception. The formant transitions visible on spectrograms between vowels and consonants proved to be important acoustic cues to the place of the consonant, that is, to the vocal tract location where the main constriction was, such as at the lips for "p" or "b", or at the alveolar ridge behind the teeth for "t" or "d". The time it took after a stop consonant before voicing began in the following vowel, known as the Voice Onset Time, proved to be an important acoustic cue to whether or not the stop was voiced, for instance, to decide whether it was "p" or "b". Knowledge of the acoustic cues for all phonemes was used in early speech recognition algorithms. Currently commercial speech recognition algorithms use statistical pattern-recognition approaches, which were found to give better recognition rates. However, different ways of incorporating knowledge about speech perception in recognizers continue to be developed in efforts to improve accuracy and reliability.
Such perception studies also contribute to coding methods, which are now much in use in cellphones and music players. Here, the opposite trend is in evidence: early coding methods typically used signal properties only, for instance, coding the amount a signal had changed by rather than each sample individually. More recent methods, which are more effective, use knowledge about speech and auditory perception to reduce the speech signal so it contains only the essential parts that we perceive.

It's America's favorite past-time and synonymous with spring and summer. Sure, we've been focused on the World Cup (and oh Brazil's poor performance the other day) but there's always room for some baseball.
Memories (actual or fantasized) of peanuts, hot dogs, beers for those who indulge and soft-serve with sprinkles for the rest of us. Many like to say it's as American as apple pie, although I'm not much of a pie fan, so I'll let that statement go.
Ever since I was born, I was a Dodger's fan. It has to do with the fact that I spent my entire life in Los Angeles and well, there's nothing like a trip to the Ravine. Even the days I spent up in the SF Bay, I remained true and true to my boys in blue.
Now I've found myself on the East Coast and while I can't pop on a plane back to L.A., there is still the possibility of catching a game or two out here in the city.

Construction apprentices in Pa. Check out who is really doing the training in the Construction Industry!
State of the Unions: Construction apprentices in Pa.
By Jason Scott
There are nearly 11,000 active apprentices in Pennsylvania, including more than 7,700 in a construction-related trade, according to the state Department of Labor and Industry.
The Finishing Trades Institute of the Mid-Atlantic Region cites a unionization rate of about 82 percent in the construction and building trades.
"Apprenticeship numbers, in general, are low now, mostly because construction programs make up the majority of apprenticeship in the state, and the construction industry has been deeply affected by the down economy for the last five years," said Mike Schurr, FTI's education director.
Pennsylvania had more than 14,000 apprentices six years ago, said Schurr, who is on the State Apprenticeship and Training Council.
"There has been a slight uptick in numbers over the last couple months," he said. "I can see an increase in my six programs, which is usually indicative of the industry as a whole.
If one gets busy, we usually all do."
Anything to do with "green" is in high demand, he added, citing growth in electricians, glaziers and plumbers, as well as heavy highway crafts.
On the merit shop, or non-union side, the Keystone Chapter of Associated Builders and Contractors Inc., the largest of the four ABC chapters in the commonwealth, is expanding its Rapho Township facility to accommodate growth in its educational offerings.
ABC Keystone has averaged about 256 students in five trades over the last decade, said G. David Sload, director of education. The average graduating class is 64 students.
Sload is projecting to grow classes to more than 400 per year by 2018, with an average graduation of 100 students.
ABC Keystone offers carpentry, electrical, HVAC, sheet metal, and plumbing and pipefitting.
The chapter is looking to expand to nine trades, including an off-site heavy equipment operator program. It will split plumbing and pipefitting and add welding and millwright apprentices. That would increase projections, Sload said.

YES Conference Thursday 21 November
1. Democracy and audit
In this session, the participants are going to discuss the role of supreme audit institutions and its evolution in response to the challenges of the 21st Century. We will seek to understand some of the ways that democracy and communication are changing and the relevance those changes have for us, such as the economic crisis, political disenchantment and the role of the auditor in those processes. We will also look into the evolution of the state and where we fit in as we report to our national democratic institutions. State audit was developed originally to meet the challenges of 19th Century oligarchy, how does it need to innovate to meet the demands of 21st Century democracy?
Session leader: United Kingdom
2. Performance audit methods
This session will explore two important elements of performance audit methodology:
1) Audit evidence collection: fact-finding, mapping, decision analytical modelling, data analysis, interviews, benchmarking, survey, etc.
2) Consultation with internal and external stakeholders and experts: roundtable, issue analysis, in-house quality review/control, external peer review, focus groups, drawing conclusions, etc.
If you want to enhance your performance audit skills in 50 minutes, join this session!
Session leader: European Court of Auditors
3. Ethics as an audit topic
The objective of this session is to explore and collect ideas on the challenges of auditing ethics-related issues. Central questions are: is there a reason and an interest for SAIs to audit issues related to ethics? Are such topics auditable and measurable? If yes, how?
Join our session and find the answers!
Session leader: EUROSAI Taskforce on Audit & Ethics, Portugal
4. Internal control frameworks
How can SAIs contribute to better internal control and risk management by public organisations? Join this session and learn all about it!
Public sector organizations need to have a clear view of obtaining their most important objectives. They also need to be capable of controlling the risks that occur by realising these objectives. SAIs can help public sector organizations develop their internal control and risk management framework. For this purpose the INTOSAI Sub-committee on Internal Control Standards and Risk Management has developed Guidances for Good Governance (GOVs). In this session you learn more about the importance of a solid internal control framework within public sector organizations and the role your SAI could possibly play.
Session leader: INTOSAI sub-committee on Internal Control Standards and Risk Management, Poland
5. Worldwide SAIs
All SAIs, from Africa to Asia and Europe, are supposed to apply the same international professional auditing standards. But is this realistic and sustainable, or even desirable? And what can SAIs from different countries worldwide learn from each other when it comes to implementing the ISSAIs?
Session leaders: Cameroon and Norway
6. Serious game
Serious games are video game simulations of real-world events or processes mostly designed for the purpose of training and education of professionals. In this session the Delft University of Technology offers the possibility to 20 congress participants to try a serious game for themselves. The Team-Up Game that will be played is all about the way you work in a team with other professionals. For about one and a half hour, depending on how good you and your three other teammates are in team problem solving, you will experience what team working under time pressure feels like and you will learn useful things relating your own team working skills. If you think good team work is a crucial condition for innovation, then this session is probably something for you.
Session leader: Delft Technical University
1. Auditing policy-making process - How to create better regulation?
The aim of this session is to collectively find answers to the questions:
1. Why should the policy-making process be audited by SAIs?
2. How can the policy-making process be audited?
In addition, the session aims to share experiences with SAIs from other countries and learn from one another in an inspirational way.
Session leader: Finland
2. Improvements in performance audits
Since 2010 the Performance Audit Department at the Icelandic National Audit Office (INAO) has put emphasis on working more effectively and efficiently than before. It has also started to operate in better accordance with ISSAI 3000 standards and best practice in project management and quality management. Its reports are now more focused and conducted in less time than before. In 2012 the Netherlands Court of Audit along with representatives of the Norwegian and Swedish SAIs conducted a peer review of the INAO's performance audit practice. The review contributed to the development of the performance audit practice and since then the INAO has been improving it even further.
Your session leader will go through the changes and improvements at the INAO in the field of performance auditing in the past 3.4 years, and what we can learn from them. During the session we will discuss and compare different practices and improvements, such as defining audit scope and audit questions, planning the audit and communication with ministries and institutions.
Session leader: Iceland
3. Auditing from a citizen's perspective
Less bureaucracy, more citizen-central thinking… let the 'Kafka Brigade' surprise you in this session! Social innovation and public sector reform should be the key drivers to policymakers and politicians in tackling complex issues in both society and government. Especially in times of crisis. But innovation requires both serious investments and substantial political mandate. And that is not something governments do easily when financial circumstances are harsh. What is the meaning of 'big society', 'civic innovation' and 'state participation' when true motivations behind policymaking lie in budget cuts and economic interests? And what challenges do we face as young audit commissioners under these circumstances, where money and time rule and less measurable values as 'social inclusion' and 'justice' are hardly mentioned in the decision making process? Could a better understanding of the meaning of public value and more citizen-centred approaches help us perform better in our research on policy outcomes? Are you up for the challenge to rethink your own role as an audit commissioner in reforming government?
Session leader: Kafka Brigade, the Netherlands
4. Showcases: IT in audit
In this session the spotlights will be on the good practice of using IT in audit. Participants of this workshop are challenged to share their thoughts and ideas about the use of IT in their own audit processes.
Session leader: Portugal
5. Improving ethics within SAIs
One of the main concerns of SAIs is the strengthening of stakeholders' trust in the governance of the public sector.
The creation of the EUROSAI Taskforce on Audit & Ethics is a step forward in order to promote the good governance within SAIs, as a good example for the public sector and to create an effective audit institute. One of the goals of the taskforce is to define a model approach for training and other methods of raising awareness, knowledge and skills of ethical decision making, that SAIs can use to improve their good governance. The taskforce needs your help with this! Discover how you can improve ethical conduct within your SAI and contribute by adding ideas to our model.
Session leader: EUROSAI Taskforce Audit & Ethics

Near the close of last Thursday evening's (Dec. 1) Genoa Township meeting, Karl Gebhardt noted that it would be Rick Carfagna's last regularly-scheduled Board of Trustees session.
Carfagna was a successful candidate for a seat in the Ohio House of Representatives' 68th District during the November 8 General Election. Carfagna ran for the seat being vacated by Margaret Ann Ruhl due to term limits. He assumes his duties in the Ohio House on January 1.
"Thank you for your work, I've enjoyed it," Gebhardt said. "We haven't always agreed with each other, but I have a lot of respect for you. I'm glad you're going to represent us downtown."
Carfagna noted that a decade ago there was a lot of infighting at the Genoa Township Board of Trustees dais.
"We came out of that," Carfagna said. "I've been proud that we've kept things professional; I hope that's something we can keep doing — the success we've had with this board working together. We've had a lot of arguments, but we are so blessed to live where we do. We've got good folks here. When I travel for work I see a lot of communities, and there isn't a community in this state that wouldn't trade their problems for ours."
Carfagna said he believes that he was elected two times as a Genoa Trustee not because of who he is, but because of the township's dedicated staff.
"It's the front-line people that make Genoa Township a great place to live," Carfagna said. "We give our staff the resources and latitude to do their job. I hope our residents will be vigilant and respecting of our staff; they earn every dollar.
"It's been a privilege to work with all of you," Carfagna continued. "I thank the residents of Genoa Township for trusting me twice. What I love about this job is it's nonpartisan. There's no Conservative or Liberal way to fix a pothole. From the bottom of my heart I love you and thank you."
Carfagna added that he might be in Columbus representing Ohio's 68th House District, but he knows where he lives.

As books go, No Safe Harbor is rather unique: licensed with a Creative Commons license, it is a free download from the site bearing its name (here); if you insist you can also buy it. Curated by the United States Pirate Party, No Safe Harbor is a collection of articles from various sources, ranging from the American Constitution to material written by contemporary piracy movement leaders such as Cory Doctorow, Lawrence Lessig and Rick Falkvinge. These articles form three core subject groups, touching the three core agendas of the pirate movement:
- Government accountability and transparency
- Personal Privacy
- Copyright/Patent/Trademark reform and abuse
Alas, there are problems with those suggestions. First and foremost, we might and we should act to make our democracies true liberal democracies, yet I the cynic in me that keeps bumping into total indifference in matters of politics by much if not most of Australian society may as well ask if all this effort is worth our while (of course it is; the problem is with the way our systems of education work, or rather don't). The next problem is to do with the abilities of the pirate parties to change the system from within given how hard it is to get elected: it's one thing to do so in parts of mainland Europe, where a proportional voting system is in place; it's quite another to do so in countries like the USA, UK or Australia with their first past the post systems. The UK's recent failed ballot that tried to change their voting system proves my two points. I guess we can only try!
Relatively short, varied and interesting, No Safe Harbor is an interesting and thought provoking collection of articles coming from a political party genuinely trying to think freshly.
Overall: I was impressed. 3.5 out of 5 stars.
Adequate disclosure: I am currently a member of the Australian Pirate Party.

There's a problem. I suspect it's widespread. See: http://www.w3.org/TR/owl-guide/ The first sentence of the fourth paragraph of the Introduction appears as a link. In the original REC version, the paragraph had this:  In the re-written version, it looks like this:  Maybe that makes the CSS handling things differenly? Maybe the change in the CSS is what matters, not the change in the XML. But, I note, on a related topic, that someone recently claimed to me that the latter form is correctly interpretted by Opera as an open tag WITH NO CLOSE, according to the HTML Spec.

Head of Roshydromet Maxim Yakovenko commented on reports of contamination with ruthenium-106.
'Recently, the media have been reporting more frequently on the concentration of ruthenium-106 on the territory of Russia and abroad. In this regard, I would like to underline once again that at the end of September the automatic monitoring system recorded an increased content of ruthenium-106 not only in Russia, but also on the territory of other countries including Poland, Bulgaria, and Romania. At the same time, the concentration recorded was at a level of thousands of times lower than permissible values. For comparison, the concentration of ruthenium in Romania was 1.5-2 times higher than in Russia; in Ukraine and Poland the concentration was comparable to that in Russia. There was no concentration higher than permissible levels, and it does not pose any danger to the population. The published data does not allow us to establish the location (country) of the pollution source', he said.

Having your windows cleaned can make your home feel like new. During the fall and winter the windows of our homes suffer a lot. They are bombarded by snow, rain, wind and even hail at times. When spring comes around they really do deserve a special treat.
I remember that my grandmother used to say that spring never begun until the window cleaner had been, and she was quite right.
Windows are the eyes of our homes, and clean windows do go along way towards your home feeling clean and fresh, but we seldom seem to have the time to clean our windows properly.
Why You Should Clean Your Windows?
The weather is not the only reason you should clean your windows. Our windows are subjected to so much more than we think.
When you live in a big city such as San Francisco, you may even appreciate that the air quality on some days is not very good. It may even make you cough and your eyes itch. On a daily basis our homes are bombarded by a range of chemicals and toxic substances.
Air traffic has increased over our cities, and even though our vehicles produce less exhaust fumes than they did 10 years ago, there are a lot more cars around.
Your windows probably get dirtier quicker now than they did even a few years ago, and this is one reason you should clean your windows. Of course, clean windows also make your home look cleaner.
Get the Professionals In:
Regular supermarket cleaning products are okay for everyday use, but your windows can benefit from a deep clean just like other areas of your home. As a matter of fact, many regular cleaning products are just not strong enough to cope with much of the dirt and grime that can be found on windows today.
Professional cleaning companies use better and stronger products and many of them have ingredients which will protect your windows. Certain ingredients in professional cleaning materials such as Isopropanol will form a protective film, and help to prevent excessive build-up of new dirt.
It can also be a hazardous job to clean your windows. You often have to climb up and down ladder with cleaning materials and you are at risk from falling.
Professionals do not only have all the right equipment to do the job safely and securely, they also have better quality cleaning materials to ensure your windows will stay cleaner for longer.
The Cost of Cleaning:
This is definitely one of those cleaning jobs you should get the professionals in to do.
Even the cost of window cleaning in major cities such as San Francisco or New York offers excellent value for money.
The estimated cost for cleaning 12 windows in San Francisco is $100, and that means that each window will cost you less than $10. It is really amazing value for money.
In New York the cost goes up a little bit for the same amount of windows, and it would cost you about $145 for a professional window clean. If you are a Chicago resident, you can expect to pay about $80 for a deep clean of your windows.
Before you contract somebody to clean your windows, you should make sure they are insured to do the work. This is after all a rather hazardous cleaning job, and you don't want to become liable if your cleaner falls off his ladder. Replacing windows due to damages can be expensive as well, so just make sure your window cleaner is fully insured before he starts doing the job.

A mother from Bradford has been sentenced to five years in jail for attempting to abduct her two children to live in Raqqa, Syria, under the control of the Islamic State (Isis). The 34-year-old woman, whose name has not been revealed, tried to kidnap the children in October 2015 but was caught in Istanbul after her husband and parents contacted the police.
Leeds Crown Court judge Rodney Jameson, who handed her the sentence, said: "It is beyond dispute that Isis enforce their will by the use of extreme force. Such force routinely includes mutilation, rape and murder. You are an intelligent and well-educated woman and you knew this. The fate of your children would have been either to have subscribed, fully and actively, as we have all seen in the appalling use of a young child in an IS propaganda video in recent days, to such behaviour, or to have suffered it themselves."
The British-born woman spent her formative years in Pakistan before returning to live in northern England. She became increasingly religious and even gave up her job in finance in August 2015.
Carrying passports and £4,000 ($5,808) in cash, the woman left after telling her husband she was going to a party. Instead she boarded a flight to Istanbul.
Her defence said she was unhappy with the environment in the UK and wanted her children to grow up in a place where Sharia law was well implemented. The woman told the police she intended to travel to Raqqa from Mosul in Iraq and that the children eventually would have returned to the UK when they turned 16.

The first wave of beta YPN publishers are expecting their first payments for August earnings shortly. The terms state that checks will be sent 45 days after the earnings period, meaning August earnings should be sent by October 15th. Publishers noticed their total balanced decreased a few days ago, by the August earnings amount, but nothing showed up in payment history or available balance when this was done.
I went direct to YPN to get the scoop on payments, since this is the first pay period and publishers aren't quite sure what to expect. And I can confirm that checks are being sent to publishers this week. YPN is also working on shortening up the 45 days publishers currently wait, so that will be nice to see, especially with AdSense working on 30 days.
So if you met the $100 minimum for August earnings, you should expect to receive your payment very soon.

Everyone needs a cutting board. Built-in types are the most desirable. Just tug on the front, and it slides out ready to use. If you don't have one of these high-tech cutting boards, don't worry -- you can install one yourself. Most cabinets have a 3-inch-wide piece at the top. It's the perfect place for a built-in cutting board.
Remove the top drawer from any stack of drawers in your kitchen. Use a reciprocating saw to cut through two joints at the top of the drawer opening. There will likely be screws in the joints. The reciprocating saw will cut through them. Cut up as high as possible, without cutting into the countertop fascia.
Hit the piece between the cuts with a hammer if it doesn't fall out. It may have a nail in it. Insert a prybar under the cut piece, pry it out and remove it. Pull out or clip off any remaining nails flush with diagonal pliers.
Install a 3/4-inch dado blade on a table saw. Raise the blade to 1/2 inch in height. Adjust the fence to center the two pieces of 3/4-by-1 1/2-by-24-inch pine behind the blade one at a time. Cut a 1/2-inch-deep, 3/4-inch-wide channel down the center of each piece. These are the guides for the cutting board.
Measure the depth of the cabinet. Cut the guides 3/4 inch shorter than the measurement using a miter saw. Center the 3/4-by-1 1/2-by-3-inch pieces of pine flat on one end of the guides to form a "T" shape. Shoot four 1 1/4-inch pin nails through the 3-inch pieces to attach them to the ends of the guides.
Insert the guides into the cabinet drawer opening on the left and right where you cut the piece out. The channels on the guides should be facing each other, with the top of the "T" shape tight against the back of the cabinet on the inside. The inside of the channel should be flush with the side of the drawer opening on both sides. There will be a 1/2-inch lip of exposed pine on both sides when looking at the front of the opening.
Shoot two pin nails through the front of the cabinet, to penetrate into the ends of the guides. Shoot two pin nails through the top and bottom of the "T" shape in the back, to secure the guides in back.
Measure the distance between the guides, from left and right inside the channels. Subtract 1/8 inch. Use a table saw to cut a piece of maple medium density fibercore to the measurement parallel with the grain. Cut the piece of 3/4-by-3/4-by-30-inch maple to length on a miter saw using the same measurement. Measure the depth of the cabinet from the inside of the drawer opening to the back of the guide. Cut the fibercore perpendicular across the grain to the measurement.
Apply glue to one side of the 3/4-by-3/4-inch piece of maple. Place it flush on the front edge of the maple MDF board. Shoot four pin nails, evenly spaced, to secure the maple to the fibercore.
Sand the maple piece flush with the fibercore using 100-grit sandpaper. Round and smooth all the corners and edges. Fit the cutting board into the channels on both sides; the maple piece should be on the outside. Slide the cutting board into the cabinet. Insert the drawer; it slides underneath the maple piece, which also serves as the handle of the cutting board.

The Full Bisley Essentials Range is Below
Essentials Side Filers
With a width of 800mm or 1000mm The Bisley's Essentials Side Filers are a great way to get your filing in order. You have the option of their 2 Drawer (693mm high), 3 Drawer (1000mm high) or 4 Drawer (1300mm high) configurations, depending on your needs, which are all constructed with a robust steel carcase, a mastered lock for document security and sturdy drawers suitable for A4 binders, lateral filing, A4 and foolscap suspension filing, as well as A4 lever arch files, giving you plenty of flexibility for your storage. The Bisley Side Filers are ideal for desk side placements, where they can act as an extra surface as well as being conveniently to hand when you need access to your documents. Their flush fronted drawer design also means that these filing units will remain unobtrusive in the office and the adjustable feet at their base will help compensate for uneven floors, too.
Bisley Essentials Cupboards
With both an 800mm width and a 1000mm width, Bisley's Essentials Cupboards provide you with compact, multi-format storage units which are fully lockable, thanks to their mastered lock. The smallest of this range is the Bisley Essentials Cupboard – 800mm x 1000mm, which comes with one internal shelf, adjustable feet and space suitable for various file types, including A4 box files, A4 suspension filing, lateral files and A4 lever arch files, helping you keep all of your key documents in one place and within a hardy steel carcase which saves on floor space. All Essentials Cupboards feature internal shelves as standard, with the largest being their Essentials Cupboard – 1000mm x 1970mm, which gives you added height for even more storage capacity and four internal shelves. The minimal 470mm depth also means that there isn't the usual footprint of other units, opening up yet more floorspace within your working area. For both widths, you have the option of 1000mm, 1070mm, 1270mm, 1570mm or 1970mm heights. Choose a desk high or standard height cupboards
Bisley Essentials Desk High Units
Specifically designed to match your desktop's height, these Bisley Essentials Desk High Units are an ideal choice if you want to make the most of your personal work area and want everything close-to-hand in one place. With a set height of 718mm and the option of an 800mm or 1000mm width, the desk high units come as two door cupboards, tambour cupboards or drawer units to meet your specific requirements at work, where you can even combine them for added storage room by your desk. Both widths of the Desk High Cupboards have two flush fronted doors, which are fully lockable and open to one internal shelf, where you'll be able to store your A4 binders, A4 suspension filing and A4 box files safely without worry.
If you're very limited on space within your office and cupboard doors which open outwards may cause problems, a more practical choice would be Bisley's Desk High Tambour Cupboards instead. Featuring one internal shelf, their rolling tambour door opens and closes within the unit itself, so remain out of the way at all times when in use, making them a great choice for smaller home offices, too. The tambour door matches the steel colour of the main body nicely and the fitted lock, once again, provides peace of mind when storing key work files.
Filing may be your main concern around the desktop, though. In that case, Bisley's Essentials Desk High Drawer Unit – 800mm or their Essentials Desk High Drawer Unit – 1000mm are the filing solution for you, where you'll have two generous drawers suitable for A4 suspension filing, lateral files and A4 binders, all nearby for convenience.
Bisley Essentials Tambour Cupboards
Bisley's selection of Essentials Tambour Cupboards are yet another option for your storage and filing needs.
Available in 800 or 1000mm widths and several height options
With the same seven colour options to choose from, these tambours are one of the most effective storage units for saving space in your office. Both the 800mm width and 1000mm width versions come with a fitted mastered lock, a hard wearing steel carcase and an economical rolling tambour shutter, which can be opened/closed easily without doors protruding outwards. The 1000mm, 1070mm, 1270mm, 1570mm and 1970mm heights for both width variations come, respectively, with different internal shelf numbers to suit their builds, all suitable for storing a wide range of A4 file types, including bulky A4 box files and A4 binders. The taller heights, such as the Essentials Tambour Cupboard – 800mm x 1570mm or Bisley's Essentials Tambour Cupboard – 1000mm x 1970mm, provide a higher, more slender storage cupboard, yet without much of a footprint. There is even an extra height for the 1000mm width tambours in the Essentials Tambour Cupboard – 1000mm x 2270, for more than ample storage capacity and the benefit of five internal shelves.
Bisley Essentials Lodges
Perfect for office and schools, staff rooms, sports halls and cloak rooms,
Bisley's Essentials Lodges provide lockable personal storage space in a variety of sizes. There is the option of two widths and four different heights. The 693mm height has 4 individual lockers, the 1000mm height has six, plus the 1270mm and 1300mm heights both have eight compartments, so you'll easily be able find the right lodge to suit your storage requirements.

Story of Chlorella
Chlorella is a fresh water, single-celled algae that grows in fresh water. Chlorella emerged over 2 billion years ago, and was the first form of a plant with a well-defined nucleus. Because Chlorella is a microscopic organism, it was not discovered until the late 19th century, deriving its name from the Greek, "chloros" meaning green and "ella" meaning small. In fact, that chlorella contains the highest amount of chlorophyll of any known plant.

Q. Does Rutgers-New Brunswick have a BA/MD program for high school students?
No, Rutgers-New Brunswick's program is open to RU sophomores, there is a program to which high school students can apply at Rutgers-Newark. For more information about this RU-Newark program, please call 973/353-5205.
Q. Can a county college student apply to the Rutgers-New Brunswick BA/MD program?
After completing their sophomore year at Rutgers - New Brunswick.
Q. Which school should I attend, SAS or SEBS?
This office serves students from both School of Arts and Sciences and the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences, and students from both schools are accepted into medical/dental schools each year. Ultimately, your degree will be awarded from Rutgers University, and each year our admission statistics reveal that a BA/BS from Rutgers University is held in high esteem nationwide.
There are some differences between the schools as far as majors offered, degree requirements, and living arrangements. Applicants are encouraged to visit Rutgers University's website to find out more.
Q. Which classes are required by medical/dental schools?
- General Biology with lab
- General Chemistry with lab
- Organic Chemistry with lab
- General Physics with lab
- Two semesters of college-level math (see below for more information about math)
- Two semesters of college-level English
NOTE: Given recent changes to the MCAT, premedical students are encouraged to take one semester of each: Biochemistry, Psychology, Sociology and Statistics. (See an HPO advisor for specific course selections.)
Q. What if I accept AP credit for some of the required classes?
If you accept AP credit for General Biology, we recommend that you take upper-level courses to demonstrate your facility with the subject. Admissions Officers are aware that AP class can vary greatly between high schools and they need to see what type of science student you are. After all, every one of your classes in medical/dental school will be science courses, and you need to demonstrate that you will be able to handle all the work.
Q. If I accept AP biology credit, is more biology required/recommended?
Required? It depends on the school. Recommended? Yes, you need a background in biology to handle medical school demands.
Q. What are the other recommended classes?
We recommend a class in Genetics. And given recent changes to the MCAT, premedical students are encouraged to take one semester of each: Biochemistry, Psychology, Sociology and Statistics. (See an HPO advisor for specific course selections)
Q. What should I major in?
We encourage students to major in the subject that interests them the most. Students majoring in fields other that biology are strongly encouraged to take some additional science courses (see other recommended courses above), and they are encouraged to meet with a prehealth advisor.
Q. Which math classes should I take?
Medical/Dental schools require two semesters, or 8 credits, of college-level math (100-level or beyond). Which math courses are required actually depends upon the student's major. We suggest that you visit the departmental advisor for your major, or intended major, or the departmental website for details. Non-science majors with no math requirement could fulfill the requirement by taking one semester each of Pre-Calculus and another math or by obtaining a Math Placement Score high enough to place them into Calculus and then a semester of math.
Q. Which English classes must I take?
Rutgers offers students many different options as far as English is concerned. In fact, many, if not all, of the schools have an approved Writing Skills List. The courses on this list have been approved by the fellows of the school as having a significant-enough reading and writing component that they satisfy the school's requirement for a second English course.
Most of the health-professional schools will accept these courses in place of a second course offered by the English or Literature department.
Q. Does it matter which Physics courses I take (ex. Physics for the Sciences vs. General Physics)?
The following courses are "equivalent" for purposes of academic credit:
750:193 Physics for the Sciences
750:201 Extended General Physics
750:203 PLUS 750:205 General Physics
750:271 PLUS 750:275 Honors Physics
750:123-124 Analytical Physics 1A, 1B
750:115-116 Extended Analytical Physics
750:161 Elements of Physics (same as 203+205-1st term Lecture + Lab)
The following courses are "equivalent" for purposes of academic credit:
750:194 Physics for the Sciences
750:202 Extended General Physics
750:204 PLUS 750:206 General Physics
750:272 PLUS 750:276 Honors Physics
750:227 PLUS 750:229 Analytical Physics
Please note that students are allowed to switch from one sequence to another. So a student could take 193 followed by 204/206 or a student could take 123-124 followed by 227/229. These courses are "equivalent " in the sense that they cover the same topics. However, they are taught at different levels of difficulty because they are aimed at different audiences. So for example, 271 (Honors Physics I) is significantly more advanced than 203 (General Physics I), even though they cover the same topics.
Q. Can I take any of the required classes over the summer?
As a general rule, we do not recommend taking any of the required science courses over the summer. Medical/Dental schools need to see that you can handle the work during a regular semester with a normal course load. It is the only way they have of predicting whether or not you would be able to successfully handle the coursework at their school which will include multiple science courses at one time.
If you have fallen behind on your requirements, meet with an advisor. They will be happy to help you devise a schedule to help meet your goals.
Q. Can I take any of the required classes elsewhere?
- Never split up a two-semester sequence (even between Rutgers main campuses). The courses may be presented differently.
- Do not take your science requirements at a junior, community college.
- Do not take your science requirements over the summer.
Q. What happens if I must Withdraw from a class?
One "W" will not destroy your chances of getting into medical school. What admissions officers are looking for are applicants who have developed a pattern of "W's" and light credit loads.

Recently in one of our chapel services on Sunday night, the Rev. Ellen Shepard shared with our children, youth and families how each of them was made with a purpose. She spoke of how none of us are created by accident and that we each play a role in this world. She used the creation story as an example of this, and everyone created a part of the creation story with clay. Then one of our residents retold the creation story using the molded clay.
One of our youth demonstrated his own uniqueness with his re-creation of "Day Seven" in the creation story – when God rested. We were all impressed with how he thought out of the box with his art.
The next time you take a "Sabbath," or even just kick back on your sofa or couch, remember how you are uniquely and wonderfully made!

BONN, Germany (Reuters) - Deutsche Post DHL Group on Thursday forecast profit growth for this year that lagged analysts' expectations, but played down concerns over global trade, saying more complex supply chains could in the near term benefit its business.
In an industry seen as a bellwether for the global economy, U.S. rival FedEx Corp jolted investors in December with a steeper-than-expected cut in its 2019 profit forecast, warning of weakening freight demand as the global economy slows.
But Deutsche Post Chief Executive Frank Appel said he was not worried, saying the business had a broad base both geographically and operationally that made it resilient even if global economic growth weakened.
"We have not seen any signs of a noticeable slowdown on the horizon," Appel said. "The fundamental growth from globalization and digitalization will continue."
FedEx executives said they had noted a sharp slowdown in Britain due to uncertainty over the country's departure from the European Union, Germany's economic contraction, protests in France and a cooling of the Asian economy.
Appel said however that disruptions to trade such as a possible "hard" Brexit could even benefit the company in the short term as supply chains became more complicated, although protectionist moves would be negative in the long term.
"Complexity is good for our business. We are very good at managing complex logistic streams," he told a news conference.
Deutsche Post DHL said last month it had hired hundreds of workers to deal with new customs procedures expected to be imposed when Britain leaves the EU.
The German postal and logistics group reported a 5.1 percent rise in fourth-quarter sales to 16.9 billion euros ($19.11 billion), versus analysts' forecast for 16.65 billion, while operating profit was in line at 1.1 billion euros.
Deutsche Post said operating profit should rise to between 3.9 billion euros and 4.3 billion euros in 2019, and confirmed its guidance for the metric to reach at least 5 billion by 2020.
The 2019 guidance compares to average analyst forecasts for 4.1 billion euros, according to Refinitiv data, but includes a 400 million-euro gain from the disposal of its China supply chain business.
"As a result, the midpoint of the underlying guidance range is 8 percent below consensus," wrote Jefferies analysts.
Shares in Deutsche Post, which have fallen by a quarter in the last year, had turned slightly positive by 1130 GMT after falling more than 1 percent in early trade.
The group issued a profit warning for 2018 last June and started a restructuring program at its Post - eCommerce - Parcel (PeP) division, including an early retirement program, as well as splitting its post-and-parcel delivery division into a German and an international unit.
It could take several months until the measures had a positive impact on its figures, but they should help profitability for the year and longer term, Appel said.

A few weeks ago we ran a little survey (as you may have noticed). This time around, we mostly did it with marketing in mind, but we did find a few things that we thought it'd be interesting to share with you as well.
Now the broad idea was to get a quantitative sense of how everybody's doing with Toggl. Of course, we chat with you on Twitter a bit and we even fly out to meet you (starting with that very soon, by the way), but every now and then, you need to take a look at the bigger picture of who your users are, and where the mood stands.
Quite a lot of you took the time to answer our questions (14,363 Togglers to be exact), so thank you! We appreciate it, we really do.
But OK, back to that "interesting information" bit. Namely we found that:
Not everybody's crazy about time tracking.
OK, I'm being a little provocative here as this conclusion is tentative at best.
But what the survey results did show, is that people who tracked time in teams and did so "under orders" were somewhat less likely to recommend Toggl to others. So it's not so much that people don't like it, but that it's not something they tell their moms about either. Somewhat more of a chore then, and somewhat less of a cool thing to bring out at parties.
Also, I keep saying "somewhat", because when you look at top and bottom promoters side by side…
…then we see it's not exactly a massive rift. But the bottom promoters do track more because of management – and because tracking is required of them. Keep in mind this is fresh, raw data, and a more comprehensive look into the results is still to come.
But still, the reason I picked out the correlation is not entirely random.
Namely, when we go out on our Toggl user meets, we do hear that people sometimes have – to varying degrees – trouble convincing their teams to adopt the time tracking habit. Even though the management people always has really good reasons and clear goals for using Toggl (a couple of awesome real-life examples can be found here and here).
The Shadow of Timesheets
Every now and then, we take a swing at branding Toggl as the anti-timesheet. But lets be honest, Toggl and timesheets play in the same ballpark – it's just that Toggl is simpler, more flexible and less fascist.
The trouble with the classic timesheet concept, however, harks back to the ancient Fordist principle, that work must be measured in time. So as long as we punch in at 8 AM and punch out at 5 PM, the management is happy.
If you work on an assembly line, that principle probably still applies. As for the office crowd, we now obviously know that there are better ways to measure the quality of work – for example, by actually measuring the quality of your work.
Timesheets, however, have always been associated with the relatively inane concept of filling an office spot for a preset number of hours and worse yet – with the agonising one-on-one performance reviews should one fail to occupy a seat for long enough.
So really, a timesheet is two things – flawed in its concept and oppressive to the worker.
Trust before tracking
Yet, you can't not track your time.
The reason the time tracking market has stayed competitive, is because ultimately we still need to understand where our time is going. As a species, we are terrible at guessing time, so unless you know where it's going, you're really taking wild guesses (and wild guesses aren't great for business).
But you can't track your staff's time if you're staff doesn't know what it's good for.
Last week I had a chat with one Toggl user (I'm looking forward to publishing the interview in the second half of this week) and the issue of scaling time tracking to bigger teams was something their team had experience with. I'm not going to cover the full interview right now, but we both agreed on one main point.
That main point is this – your team needs to know that you're using time tracking to improve the organisation, not monitor the individual.
So it's not about knowing if people are working – and they can always run a timer and sit on Facebook – but how they're working. More over, it's about the organization as a whole, and if the organisation can find new ways to manage itself better (starting with management, by the way).
"Your team needs to know that you're using time tracking to improve the organisation, not monitor the individual."
By the way – we tend to overestimate how much time we spend working. So even if your work week consists of 45 "working hours", you're really not spending all those hours on task and on point. Time slips away here and there.
Take meetings. They're known time killers – but not because your team is terrible, but because people don't necessarily think about the time they can steal. Which makes sense, because people probably have other stuff to think about.
So the trick really is to get them to think about time (but not the timesheets).
We'll be digging into the survey results soon enough – in the mean time, here's a quick overview of the talks we've had with other Togglers so far.
If you think you have something interesting to say about time tracking, shoot as an e-mail and we love sharing user stories with our readers!

Two case studies illustrate how the IR2Dx TIGAR™ analytical system may be used to guide treatment and obtain superior results. The examples, showing a subset of the TIGAR™ markers, are shown in the diagrams below.
1. A Patient with Type 2 Diabetes
A patient on long-term metformin and glimepiride treatment is shown in this diagram. She had stable glucose levels as measured with HbA1c, but had slowly deteriorating overall health. After finding very abnormal levels with all panel markers, the physician discontinued glimepiride and added pioglitazone and liraglutide in order to get more effect on both insulin resistance and beta-cell function. This is an example of matching a currently treated patient with the right drug combination. As a result, all of the marker levels improved, leading to better control and reduction in potentially adverse clinical events.
2. A Prediabetes Patient
A patient with atherosclerosis, who is non-diabetic according to HbA1c levels, is shown in this diagram. This patient had significant underlying vascular inflammation, insulin resistance, and beta-cell stress. The addition of an oral diabetes drug to his cardiovascular therapy improved all of the underlying abnormalities. The C-reactive protein levels, which are associated with cardiovascular events like myocardial infarcts or strokes, normalized. The levels of proinsulin and adiponectin, which are associated with beta-cell stress, insulin resistance and adipose tissue dysfunction, improved as well. The patient's underlying pathway function, and thus risk factors, all clearly improved by adding an oral anti-diabetic medication, as did his overall health.
Anti-diabetic Drug Effects: Arrow Charts
These charts represent the direction in which selected individual biomarkers, used in the TIGAR™ reports, will move when comparing a baseline level with a post administration level of an anti-diabetic drug. Continuation of therapy will generally increase the movement in the direction shown, provided that other factors remain constant.
1. Effects of anti-diabetic drugs on standard glucose related tests:
Arrows indicate change: Green is positive, yellow is neutral, red is negative. Parentheses around an arrow means there is a smaller change.

Deepak Chopra
Founder – The Chopra Center
country has been enriched by the contributions of more than a million
Indian Americans, which includes Dr. Deepak Chopra, the pioneer of
alternative medicine.
President William Clinton, March 21,
2000 State Dinner - India
Time Magazine heralds Deepak Chopra as
one of the top 100 heroes and icons of the century, and credits him
as the poet-prophet of alternative medicine. Time Magazine, June 1999.
A renowned physician and author, Deepak Chopra is undoubtedly one of the most lucid and inspired philosophers of our time. Mikhail Gorbachev, Citation of the Medal of the Presidency of the Italian Republic awarded by the Pio Manzu International Scientific Committee.
DEEPAK CHOPRA, Founder The Chopra Center
as one of the world's greatest leaders in the field of mind body
medicine, Deepak Chopra, M.D. continues to transform our understanding
of the meaning of health. Through his creation of The Chopra Center
for Well Being in California in 1995, Chopra established a formal
vehicle for the expansion of his healing approach using the integration
of the best of western medicine with natural healing traditions.
Chopra currently serves as the Director of Education at The Chopra
Center at La Costa Resort & Spa in Carlsbad , California which offers training programs in mind body medicine (Journey into Healing). The University of California, San Diego School of Medicine has granted continuing medical education credits for this program, which satisfies requirements for the American Medical Association Physicians Recognition Award. Through his partnership with David Simon, M.D. and numerous health care professionals in both conventional and complementary healing arts, Chopra's work is changing the way the world views physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social wellness.
What prompted Deepak Chopra to expand
his view of conventional medicine to embrace complementary treatments
from around the world? Formerly the Chief of Staff at Boston Regional
Medical Center, Dr. Chopra built a successful endocrinology practice
in Boston in the 1980's. His teaching affiliations included Tufts
University and Boston University Schools of Medicine. Chopra realized
in his medical practice that there was potential in western medicine
for the establishment of a new life-giving paradigm, one which encompassed
the fundamental principle that perfect health is more than just the
absence of disease. He began to envision a medical system based upon
the premise that health is a lively state of balance and integration
of body, mind and spirit. He is widely credited with melding modern
theories of quantum physics with the timeless wisdom of ancient cultures.
In 1992, he served on the National Institutes of Health Ad Hoc Panel
on Alternative Medicine.
Chopra is known as the prolific author
of over 43 books, more than 100 audio, video and CD-ROM titles which
have been translated into 35 languages with over 20 million copies
sold worldwide. His latest book, Peace Is the Way (Harmony Books)
won the Quill Awards and is in stores now. Some of his best-sellers
include The Book of Secrets: Unlocking the Hidden Dimensions of your
Life, The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire: Harnessing the Infinite
Power of Coincidence., How to Know God: The Souls Journey into the Mystery of Mysteries, Perfect Health; Ageless Body, Timeless Mind; The Seven Spiritual Laws of Success, Grow Younger, Live Longer: 10 Steps to Reverse Aging and The Path to Love. Chopra has published numerous books focusing on health issues that include Magical Beginnings, Enchanted Lives: A Holistic Guide to Pregnancy and Childbirth; The Chopra Center Herbal Handbook: Forty Natural Prescriptions for Perfect Health; Perfect Weight: The Complete Mind / Body Program For Achieving and Maintaining Your Ideal Weight; Restful Sleep: The Complete Mind / Body Program For Overcoming Insomnia; Quantum Healing: Exploring the Frontiers of Mind / Body Medicine and Creating Health. Popular audio books and CD-ROMS include Magical Mind, Magical Body; The Higher Self; Journey to the Boundless; and The Wisdom Within. Many know him from his regular work with PBS, which includes The Soul of Healing: Body, Mind, and Soul, Body, Mind and Soul: The Mystery and The Magic, one of the most highly viewed and successful fund-raisers in the history of the network; and The Way of the Wizard, Alchemy and The Crystal Cave.
Deepak Chopra's popularity as an international
presenter and keynote speaker is exemplified in an impressive list
of honorariums. As the keynote speaker, he appeared at the inauguration
of the State of the World Forum, hosted by Mikhail Gorbachev and
the Peace and Human Progress Foundation, founded by the former president
of Costa Rica and Nobel Peace prizewinner Oscar Arias. Esquire Magazine
designated him as one of the top ten motivational speakers in the
country; and in 1995, he joined the distinguished company of President
Nelson Mandela, Congresswoman Barbara Jordan, Tom Peters and Garrison
Keillor as a recipient of the Toastmasters International Top Five
Outstanding Speakers award. He participates annually as a lecturer
at the Update in Internal Medicine event sponsored by Harvard Medical
School, Department of Continuing Education and the Department of
Medicine, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in 1997. Chopra has been a keynote speaker at several academic institutions including Harvard Divinity School, Harvard Business School, and Kellogg School of Management. He is the recipient of the Einstein Award through Albert Einstein College of Medicine in collaboration with the American Journal of Psychotherapy. Along with Nobel Peace Laureates Oscar Arias, Betty Williams and others, Deepak Chopra is a founding director of the Alliance for the New Humanity. The Alliance for the New Humanity is committed to creating a critical mass of consciousness in the world for social justice, economical freedom, ecological balance and conflict resolution. He regularly mentors corporate and political leaders through his Soul of Leadership workshops.
Through The Chopra Center, Dr. Chopra
is revolutionizing common wisdom about the crucial connection between
body, mind, spirit, and healing. His mission of "bridging the technological miracles of the west with the wisdom of the east" remains
his thrust as he and his colleagues conduct public seminars and workshops
and provide training for health care professionals around the world.
Dr. Chopra is a fellow of the American College of Physicians and a
member of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists.
2006 - The Soul of
- Ten Ways to Reverse Biological Aging
The average age of a person living in
the US in the last century was 49 years. In the Roman Empire the
average age was 28 years. Today's the
fastest growing segment of the population in the Western
world is over the age of 100. Of course, a lot of this
has to do with the dramatic decrease in infant mortality, but
other factors are also at work. The best way to understand aging
is to look at the biological markers of aging. These include
blood pressure, body fat, muscle strength, auditory and visual
thresholds, hormonal levels, immune function, metabolic rate, temperature
regulation, bone density, skin thickness, skin wrinkles, cholesterol
levels, aerobic capacity, antioxidant levels, sex hormone
levels, sugar tolerance, muscle mass, muscle strength, immune
functions, etc. It is well documented that these biological markers
of aging are reversible. It is possible to reverse biological
aging by at least 15-20 years (as compared to chronological age).
