As probably the best known and most talked about vitamin, it is one of the most widely utilised supplements and is available in a number of forms. Here, we take a closer look at vitamin C and its importance in our diet, and discuss what you need to know when making your choice of supplement.
Most vertebrates synthesise vitamin C, or ascorbic acid, in the liver, from glucose; but humans, primates, fruit bats, guinea pigs and some other mammals cannot. Humans lost this capacity, as a result of a defective form of the gene for the enzyme, L-gulonolactone (GULO), which is required for the final step in the synthesis of ascorbate from glucose(1). Experts suggest that these mutations occurred approximately 40 million years ago. Therefore, for non-ascorbic-acid-synthesising mammals, including humans, vitamin C must be consumed through the daily diet(2). Indeed, the human diet contains both vitamin C (ascorbate) and its oxidised form, dehydroascorbic acid (DHA), which is actually the most abundant. DHA is also produced in the lumen of the intestines, due to the presence of oxidants(3), and is generated in oxidative reactions that are associated with normal cellular metabolism.
Ascorbic acid is water-soluble and one of the least stable vitamins, being easily destroyed by cooking, although it can be better retained when foods are steam-cooked. It is easily oxidised in air and is sensitive to both heat and light. Ascorbic acid was first isolated from lemons in 1932, although it was discovered much earlier, when sailors realised it to be a cure for scurvy. Other cultures around the world also discovered excellent sources, such as rosehips, as well as other fruits, because of their rich vitamin C content.
Absorption of ascorbic acid occurs in the duodenum, proximal jejunum and buccal mucous membrane(4), and usually leaves the blood again within three to four hours, hence the need for regular intakes, either within the diet or supplementally, at intervals rather than simultaneously. Transportation into and out of the intestinal cells occurs by facilitated diffusion using the GLUT1 glucose transporter, which is also the transporter of DHA. The reduced form of vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is absorbed by active transport via SVCT1 (a sodium-dependent L-ascorbic acid co-transporter). Once in the cell, the oxidised form is reduced back to ascorbic acid by glutathione or reducing proteins. Which process dominates is yet to be determined. At very high concentrations of ascorbic acid in the gut, the two main processes are likely to reach saturation, with simple diffusion becoming more significant to the total rate of absorption. This will result in a reduction of the overall rate of absorption. Theoretically, therefore, by reducing the concentrations of ascorbic acid in the gut, overall absorption should be heightened, which could be achieved by reducing the rate of movement of vitamin C into the intestine. This effect could also be enhanced by consuming ascorbic acid with food.
Absorption decreases as intake increases. At doses of up to 200mg per day, bioavailability of ascorbic acid is approximately 100% and at 500mg per day absorption can decline to less than 50%. In real terms, ascorbic acid competes for absorption with glucose, due to their structural similarity, which may explain why some studies have not always confirmed the benefits of vitamin C. The studies may not have taken into account dietary carbohydrate competing for ascorbic acid absorption.
Ascorbic acid is probably one of the most controversial and researched vitamins. However, despite sometimes negative press, its role as a powerful antioxidant and immune booster, as well as its role in growth mechanisms of all body tissue; especially in the formation of collagen (an important structural component of bones, teeth, tendons, ligaments blood vessels and skin), L-carnitine (important for the transportation of fat to the mitochondria) and in the conversion of dopamine to noradrenaline (a neurotransmitter playing a number of important roles in brain function and mood)(5); are now well accepted and understood. Vitamin C is a well-known, water-soluble reducing agent (electron donor) and antioxidant that quenches free radicals produced by normal metabolism(6). However, to function as an antioxidant, high levels need to be maintained in the body.
In addition, there has also been much research to support its important role in immunity. In a recent meta-analysis of randomised trials, published over a number of years, researchers concluded that although the evidence was preliminary, it was solid enough to recommend vitamin C supplementation for pneumonia, alongside conventional medicine(7). And, additional meta-analysis of 29 trials involving over 11,000 participants provided evidence that vitamin C has a small but significant effect on reducing the duration and severity of cold symptoms(8).
Ascorbic acid has been shown to stimulate the immune system by enhancing T-cell proliferation in response to infection. It appears that cytokines produced within the immune system stimulate B-cells to synthesise immunoglobulins, in order to control inflammatory reactions. It has been further shown that ascorbic acid protects T-cells and enhances their production(9).
It would seem that mammals who synthesise the vitamin produce more, especially when subject to stress, than the level normally obtained from the diet. It appears that recycling of vitamin C does not occur efficiently in those animals that synthesise the vitamin, which promotes the need to synthesise it in greater quantities. This evidence undermines the rationale for the mega dose approach of its proponents, such as Dr Linus Pauling. The basis for these doses was to try to achieve cellular vitamin C concentrations similar to those achieved by our vitamin C-synthesising counterparts. But these studies did not take DHA into consideration, which may be pointing to lower daily requirements of vitamin C(10).
A recent study suggests that humans may have also evolved a mechanism that enables them to utilise the ascorbic acid in the body efficiently by recycling dehydroascorbate into ascorbic acid, which can then be re-used by the body. The research in Cell(11) suggests a possible physiological adaptation. Humans produce red blood cells in plentiful supply. Human red blood cells strongly favour DHA over glucose and these cells express abundant GLUT1. This GLUT1 transports DHA into the red blood cells, which then enters the mitochondria and is converted to the reduced and antioxidant form we know as ascorbic acid. The red blood cells of other mammals can take up only very little DHA. This further explains the need for mammals that synthesise their own vitamin C to metabolise it in greater quantities. Indeed, it has been calculated that if humans were able to synthesise ascorbic acid, they would do so at the rate of around 2-4g per day under normal conditions and up to 15g per day under stress.
When asked why supplementation should be necessary, one should remember that the traditional hunter/gatherer diet was based on fresh, wild fruits and, therefore, our consumption of vitamin C was naturally much higher than it is today. These foods were likely to have a much higher vitamin C content than modern, commercially farmed foods.
Supplements of vitamin C are available in many forms, including synthetic ascorbic acid, mineral ascorbates, synthetic ascorbic acid with bioflavonoids and vitamin C presented in a fermented product. Interestingly, there appears to be no difference in biological activities or bioavailability between natural and synthetic vitamin C(12). In the ascorbate forms, mineral salts act as a buffer and are, therefore, less acidic than ascorbic acid and may help to reduce the incidence of gastrointestinal disturbances, as well as providing an additional source of minerals, for example, calcium or magnesium.
As we know, nutrients rarely work in isolation and, since vitamin C is frequently found in nature with bioflavonoids in fruits and vegetables, it makes scientific sense to produce supplements that are as near to food 'as nature intended'. Indeed, Albert Szent-Gyorgyi was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1937 for his work in isolating vitamin C from peppers and he believed that other plant substances protected vitamin C and worked synergistically with it. In addition, Vinson and Bose(13) showed that synthetic ascorbic acid with a natural citrus extract (containing citrus bioflavonoids, proteins and carbohydrates in the citrus extract) was absorbed at a slower rate and was more bioavailable than synthetic ascorbic acid. These flavonoids are found largely in berry and citrus fruits and exhibit potent antioxidant activity. Indeed, researchers at the University of Medical Sciences in Poland(14) recently investigated the effects of citrus flavonoids and found that they strongly inhibited white blood cell ability to generate the superoxide radical. In addition, researchers in Taiwan(15) were able to identify that citrus bioflavonoids have neuroprotective effects against H202 (hydrogen peroxide), even at low concentrations. Other potential benefits of flavonoids include a reduction in the risk of coronary heart disease(16).
Efficacy and absorption are key in any supplement and Higher Nature has developed a vitamin C product that is comparable in antioxidant effect to 1,000mg of vitamin C, while only containing 250mg, as well as other bioflavonoids and food-based nutrients. By adding vitamin C and citrus bioflavonoids to a completed fermentation of the food yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, enhanced absorption and bioavailability of all the nutrients is achieved. Fermented yeast is a whole food, in itself, providing a valuable source of vitamins, amino acids and other nutrients, in a form the digestive system recognises, which enhances absorption and bioavailability of all the nutrients present.
Many people are unable to swallow tablets or capsules. Therefore, liquid forms are ideal. The challenge for any supplement manufacturer is to produce a product that is palatable and contains an acceptable daily dose of the nutrient(s). Traditionally, effervescent vitamin C tablets are flavoured and sweetened with unnatural and potentially, harmful synthetic sweeteners and flavourings, in order to get the required taste. Sodium lauryl sulphate is used in numerous hair and personal care products, since it is inexpensive and is also an effective foaming agent, often found in effervescent tablets. However, it has also been found to be potentially carcinogenic, so one should be extremely cautious when looking at effervescent vitamin C products.
As with so much in life, it is not about quantity but quality.

Third Quarter Cruise News: R/V G.K. Gilbert
6/24-7/1: Transited from Murrel's Inlet, SC, to Lake Okeechobee in South Florida to examine the lake bottom and edges with sidescan and seismic surveys. The purpose was to test penetration and interpretability of single-channel seismic data in organic-rich sediments. The data were used to map the underlying strata and showed that the lake basin was not formed by a bolide impact, which had been proposed as a possible origin for the 35-mi-wide lake. Jack Kindinger conducted the survey with Dana Wiese.
7/20-7/30: Dry dock in St. Pete, FL, for annual maintenance to hull and jets.
8/3: Demonstrated how well a new high-resolution Chirp sonar works in 40 ft of water over a ledge 12 nmi off Tampa Bay as part of a reef-building investigation conducted by Dr. Gregg Brooks of Eckerd College's Marine Science Program.
8/4-8/18: Removed deck crane for sandblasting and painting, and cut out and refit new under-deck support structure.
8/19: Deployed a bottom current-sensing acoustic doppler profiler to assess the sediment transport off Sarasota, FL. The University of South Florida's Department of Marine Science's Coastal Ocean Monitoring Prediction System, under Dr. Robert Weisberg, uses several of these types of instruments along Florida's west coast (out to 80 nmi) to enable modeling of coastal water-circulation patterns.
8/22-8/30: Transited to Panama City, FL, to take 10 vibracores for the Office of Naval Research, then moved 45 nmi west and took 10 more off Destin, FL.
9/1: Recovered the acoustic doppler profiler system deployed on 8/19 off Sarasota, FL, and then picked up a deep-water instrumented buoy in Venice, FL, that broke free of its mooring 60 nmi offshore. The buoy was towed in by a local fisherman.
9/23: Took 12 Eckerd College Marine Science students out to St. Pete Beach to gain some hands-on experience with the vibracorer (see related story in this issue).

A Treatment Path for Advanced Prostate Cancer
Below is a suggested treatment route for those with advanced prostate cancer. It may not be applicable to every man, so it is always important to follow the advice of your medical professional.
LHRH analogue
|Abiraterone or Enzalutamide
Now that the first results of the STAMPEDE trial have shown the efficacy of using chemotherapy at the same time as first-line hormone therapy, men can now receive this with their LHRH analogue (e.g. Zoladex or Prostap). The PSA should fall dramatically to an acceptable level. Treatment with these hormone drugs will continue, either continously or intermittently, until such time as PSA begins to rise.
At this stage an anti-androgen such as Casodex may be used. The steroid Dexamethosone could follow, which can be used in conjunction with Radium-223. As steroids are only effective for a limited amount of time, newer drugs such as Abiraterone or Enzalutamide can follow; for some, but not all men, these may be very effective. Cabazitaxel, a more recent chemotherapy
treatment, may be used if the advanced drugs prove ineffective.
The programme above is flexible and can continue over many years. New treatments are being developed in many different countries. Keep optimistic.

Finding God in All Things
Before Pope Francis, James Martin was perhaps the best-loved Jesuit in American life. He's followed the calling of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit order, to "find God in all things" — and for him that means being a writer of books, an editor of Americamagazine, and a wise and witty presence on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. To delve into Fr. Martin's way of being in the world is to discover the "spiritual exercises" St. Ignatius designed to be accessible to everyone more than six centuries ago.

29 comments on "On the Edge with Charles Hugh Smith!"
Charles Hugh Smith: "A sick comedy" indeedy! Maybe we should grap those banksters and tattoo it on to their foreheads:
Charles Hugh Smith said it!
0 – FORCE MAJEURE! – Call Void All Bankster Bogus Derivative Debts! Because paying off these trough fraud induced debts have become a technical and practical impossibility.
Well college should be basically free, that's all I have to say. But I guess that only applies to countries that actually care to develop their people.
Charles Hugh Smith: http://youtu.be/81hcIhuBss8#t=19m20s at 19:20 m
"Blow off all that debt, simply refuse to acknowledge that debt, renounce all that debt"
'The way forward is, anybody that renounces debt. Just completely says we're not gonna pay it! It's gone! That would be the way forward and eventually that will happen everywhere either the currencies will go to zero, what people call hyperinflation, or the debt will be defaulted on"
a renouncement would be a far more ethical way to discharge the national debt as a mistake is implied , steve keens jublee just does not carry the same sentiment it sounds too much like a party with lots of deserts
also where the hell is the aclu on this student loan bullshit? the ONLY reason for americans to put up with them is so they can help out with crap like this! there is also an on going class action lawsuit involving law grads who feel there post grad placement prospects were misrepresented from the start and that the law school system defrauded them using cooked books on past placement of grads into lawfirms! from the story i read they had the goods on sevral big law schools. if this is endimic of the system as a whole this could be the biggest UGGLIEST bubble of them all

'The Hegelian Dialectic' (false flag)
"There has not been a war in the 20th and 21st century that does not follow the Hegelian Dialectic"
Drag the ball to minute 1:00:30 for an explanation followed by example after example (to finally 911) employed to start past major wars:
Here's your MSM, wake up:
We are grateful to the Washington Post, The New York Times, Time Magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected their promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subjected to the lights of publicity during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and prepared to march towards a world government. The supranational sovereignty of an intellectual elite and world bankers is surely preferable to the national auto-determination practiced in past centuries.
– David Rockefeller, Bilderberg Meeting, June 1991 Baden, Germany
Mr. Smith,
I respect your intellect but the ONLY place for gold as money is the private sector for the paying of private debts only. Nor should gold be the only thing allowed for the payment of private debts; anything should be so allowed. As for government debts, taxes and fees, inexpensive fiat is the ONLY ethical money form else we have fascist privilege for a private money form.
I'm surprised a philosopher such as yourself should have such a gross definition as to what is "real". Fiat is a lot more real than gold since fiat is required to pay one's taxes with and thus stay out of prison for tax evasion.
@fbeard you are an agent of opression
fiat (noun)
1) a comand or act of will that creates somthing without or as without further efort (from nothing)
2)an athoritative determination (a dictate)
3)an athoritative or arbitary order (a decree)
no mention of FULL FAITH AND CREDIT at all!!! wich is what is supose to be the ultamate source of value for U.S. curency NO MATTER THE MEDIUM USED AS COINAGE!!!(for god sake try to keep this part strieght) the banks have turned this inside out STEALING our "CREDIT"at birth and finacializing it as collatral to back the curency and now all this debt , and becaus they stole our credit from behind our backs at birth they dont need our "full faith" or even us as "us" at all (this all by its self scares the crap out of me) just our "corporate" identities to be added to the ponzi scheme.
do your self a favor go read the plato's "allegory of the cave" and then read up on the prussian education system to see "the cave " as it exists in the industrial age once you accept that you were deliberately miseducated and conditioned for the bankers benifit(why not it was there philanthropy that SWAMPED what we the taxpaiers could aford after they nationalized education) it gets eazer to see the lies for what they are.
you are an agent of opression kdt
Nope, I just refuse to replace one form of oppression with another.
I've always said that gold should be allowed for the payment of private debts so long as everything else is so allowed too.
As for Caesar's money, it has value because Caesar requires it for taxes. Any other backing is a waste and effectively adds to our tax burden.
you say she says fbeard
people are deluded .they day will come soon a bag of cash wont buy a gallon of milk
and your goverment will want gold for taxes
many will be opressed for not owning gold being fooled
i am not here to sell you on gold or quote scripture
but i do know this god sees all and this corruption is ruining many souls
the sooner the cash is worthless the sooner we can get back to reall assets as money
ill keep my gold and give gods what is his mysoul
this collapse will be one for the books
gold is money and money is gold
the goverment has already failed like rome the empire is finished corruption is king. and rights the laws
the man holding the last dollar is the sucker
keep eye on the sparrow
basicaly why would i want to give the goverment my gold when they can have thier worthless cash
,and the goverment cant have a gold backed system because then they would have to be accountable and would have to get a fookin real job
this collapse is coming and many will have a nice fema camp awaiting
really enjoyed that. 🙂
In the UK, at Common Law, all corporate debts are bogus and fraudulent.
UK law is based on CONTRACTS, and if a contract between borrower
and a corporate lender cannot exist, there is no debt.
A corporation is a piece of paper, it used to be called a charter, renewable
from time to time, and plainly cannot sign a contract.
Likewise, the corporate lender does not have any money, it gets
credits from a central bank amounting to the whole sum advanced
plus all the interest due over the term of the debt. By not telling
the borrower of this, the lender dishonours the contract, and makes it
unenforceable. There is a latin name for it, which I forget.
In time people will realise they can enforce their own Force Majeure.
Lord Acton said that one day, battle would commence between the
people and the banks, that day is here. The great fortunes will be broken
up, great and venerable institutions will be shown up as havens of fraud,
cant, and lies. Any banker who thinks otherwise, should remember
what happened to European Royalty, and the British aristocracy
between the wars. Vanished, and good riddance.
@fbeard and once again you make no efort to question your own preconceptions
I've always said that gold should be allowed for the payment of private debts so long as everything else is so allowed too. so you agree with rom paul??
you rely can not seperate these concepts? that the meidum must be REAL and that gold(silver and the rest) gets its"value" from this usage (and all the other usages we put them to)rather than that some "magic" from the gold giving the coinage it's value? had cesar had enuff gold to "simply print" unlimited gold coins the result would have been runnaway inflation. traders melting down the coinage to recover the bulk gold would have simlpy spread the inflation to other gold using cultures! inflation is inflation is inflation the curency musy ALWAYS be a direct 1to1 reflection of the REAL assets in the econimy it measures (this includes all of our colective"full faith and confidence" as a real asset , our life force providing the ultamate sorce of credit for investment in growth)
As for Caesar's money, it has value because Caesar requires it for taxes.
how does stating the obvious suport your position? that is exactly what jesus is refering to as to your interpretation past that (Any other backing is a waste and effectively adds to our tax burden)LOL if that were the case why would cesar bother to mint the coins in the first place ? AND your admiting that fiat is backed by the sword AND pretending the life force god has imbued us all with does not exist!! "he ain't goin ta like that"AT ALL bad bad Fbeard
the coins cesar took in in taxes were always more valuable than the cost of minting. if not your coinage has no purpose
@Beardo. like i said. everyone is money. all barter is the only way. save in rare metal or rare guitars. fuck taxes. you seem to think there is some fucking tax owed. if you have to plant food? suck it up. you and i got a set of different eyes. you actually think all these fat stupid fuckers can walk around texting and eating? you think i want to see jamie get any more free fucking duck? you hide behind a myth. but, Beardo, put in a good word for me if i,m wrong. 🙂
Charles Hugh Smith, i think? has an early 50,s LesPaul with humbuckers in it. may be a flame top? not sure. wonder if it still has the PAF,s?
The worst part about the student loan bubble is that it's perpetuated by a smaller subset of the "entrenched oligarchy" at the expense of the students. By this I mean: even as grants and loan limits go up, schools respond simply…by increasing tuition (or fees, or however they get away with it).
It's the administrations that screw over the students, and though I don't know that they're explicitly colluding with the bankers, it is clear to me that they certainly seem to have the same set of "values."
@Tracy. you should load up on some old fender guitars. the price is low. the 68-69 black logo tele,s is where the money is. maple caps are the best. 🙂
oh, and Tracy, the 67,s have the transition logo. most of them peeled off.
plus Tracy. if you see a JV strat under 600? buy it. best strat ever built. worth thousands.
Hi Max:
The interview with Charles Hugh Smith is perhaps the best ever. You guys were amazing! Many thanks!
Mike & Judy
Good show.
Why are people still going to college? Stupid. The jobs are gone, because growth is dead.
Kids these days should become beyond organic farmers. That will be the future.
Wake up people, the world has changed.
I know plenty of kids, entering college or getting out. Their folks paid for their education, and I'm sure the parents are hurting because of it. Then the kids get out to live at home or go into the military.
I also know some who have debt, and end up at home.
It's going to take awhile for mainstream American folks to wake up. Meanwhile, business as usual. Most will / ALL will be disappointed.
Get out of all debt NOW!
@Rick. no, this is the time to take on as much debt as you can get and use it wisely.
so you agree with rom paul?? kdt
RP tries to define what private money, so no. What should be done is the definition of fiat only. Private monies could then be anything else.

Generation OS13: The new culture of resistance (28m16s)
It's a credit to the brain washing techniques that people lying in the gutter days or hours from death are passive when the ruling class comes down to the gutter to stick it to you one more time.
Make a pledge to yourself now. "I refuse to die quietly in the gutter"
student loan debt = $870,000,000,000

The Chicago Blackhawks have the benefit of having just about every core member of the team locked up to long-term contracts, but if a report out today is true, then they could be in a world of trouble because of those deals.
According to Larry Brooks of the New York Post, the NHL salary cap, which was expected to rise by $5-6 million next season, could remain at $68.9 million instead because of two factors: the Canadian dollar declining in value and because players are still having 14 percent of their pay withheld because of salary escrow (a technique the league uses to ensure that its players receive the correct share of league revenues stipulated in the collective bargaining agreement).
Here is what Brooks said about what those two factors mean for the league:
"That might mean a stagnant cap in the $69 million range, which falls some $5 million to $6 million shy of previous optimistic projections. That would mean that clubs facing a cap crunch now cannot responsibly count on relief for next season. That has put a hold on extension negotiations."
To those curious about what this means for the Blackhawks, prepare for bad news. The team currently has 15 players signed to contracts next season (nine forwards, four defensemen and two goalies), and the total amount of money owed is nearly $65.8 million. If the salary cap stays the same, it would mean the Blackhawks would have just $4.1 million in cap space to sign five more players.
Of course, that would also mean that they would have to say goodbye to players like Brandon Saad and Marcus Kruger, who are both restricted free agents after this season. The more likely scenario would be that the Blackhawks would unload a pricy veteran contract or two to make room to keep guys like Saad. Patrick Sharp's $5.9 million annual contract and Bryan Bickell's $4 million deal would both be among those targeted for removal, and Brent Seabrook's contract could be removed as well, as he's due $5.8 million for one more season after this year concludes.
Even if the cap does rise, the Blackhawks were still going to face some questions because of the huge $10.5 million a year contracts that Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane signed in the offseason, but this news is most unwelcome as it would mean that the team's core would take a sizable hit, just like it did after the 2010 Stanley Cup championship.

Watch out! Here comes mommy
We have snow! Lots of it! It has been snowing for a while, but not until about a week ago was I able to take out my skis. Though it turned out to be a little early, and the skis have payed the price. The dogs love it. And it is a great way to tire them out and build muscle.
Bajnok, it turns out, is in excellent shape. Better than I'd hoped. He will pull and keep pulling, and nothing will show that he is getting tired. Derria is a healthy dog. She just needs to build some muscle. She will pull and give it her all for quite a while, but she will get tired and eventually her trot turns into a pace.
That's when I let her off lead and she gets to run all the way home.
One of our trips was to watch the lunar eclipse. I brought wood to make a bonfire, hot dogs, drink and was ready to watch something spectacular. We had an enjoyable evening, I got the bonfire going and the dogs were wooshing about the woods in -16 celsius, but it was too light and a little clouded over the mountains, so I didn't see the eclipse itself. Saw a fantastic return though. No pictures of it, unfortunantly, but enjoy a picture of a hot dog on the bonfire. That was the last ski trip until today.
It was very hard not putting on the skis when I headed out in the last few days, but I managed it. Today the dogs were happy to pull again.
We tried going a new place today. A tractor had driven there, so there wasn't heavy thick snow to get through, but rather tractor tracks to stick to. There were hills and no oportunity to put the skis in fish bone, but the dogs were pulling hard, so up we went. It was fun to watch Derria and Bajnok really digging into it. They stopped when I stopped at times, which ment me dangling on the edge and almost sliding backwards, but they soon understood that tension is the key. After they got that, it was smooth sailing. We climbed for a while before we took a break and I took something to drink. The dogs ran around, or rather, Bajnok ran around whilst Derria stood still. That dog has some strange things about her. As she understood that we weren't moving just yet, she to started to move about.
Bajnok adores winter and snow. Something sparks a devil in him and he turns into a little idiot. I love him for it, even though it is a little annoying.
It really was amazing up there. Not the best picture weather, but we got some photos. Some of which I really liked. After a short photo session it was time to head home. Since it was all downhill, both dogs were off lead. I wanted to focus on my feet, seeing as I had barely enough room for my skis.
Now, in these tractor tracks on skis downhill, I had no way of doing anything about my speed. No way of braking or ploughing.
When I sream "Watch out" I expect the dogs to move out of the way. For the first part of our time moving down, Derria was well ahead of me and Bajnok. She sprinted along and had fun. Bajnok ran along side me, and in front of me, and sometimes followed Derria. He's fast that little boy, you see. When I tell him "Watch out", he looks behind himself, weaves to the side, and places himself behind me. Very clever lad.
I fell a few times. The dogs were well in front by that time, but they turned back and Bajnok came with his tongue in my face every time I fell. However, when I was starting to get the hang of this, the fact that I had no brakes, Derria was starting to get really tired. She was no longer sprinting ahead. She was starting run with us, and straight in front of me. In the same track. She would sprint a little bit, then slow down to a trot. This is when I would catch up with her. I told her to get out of the way, and she did a couple of times. She then at one point jumped tracks in to my track, so I had to fall to stop and not crash into her. That's when my knee got bruised. I landed on a rock under the snow. Not two minutes later I was feeling very good about myself, skiing down a bumpy hill, still standing and keeping my balance when Derria comes trotting towards me. I try to tell her "watch out", but it ends with me on my arse and with a severely bruised pinkie. It is hard to use my mobile because of that. I then took off my skis and walked the rest of the way down. That dog does not know the command "watch out", somebody needs to teach it to her. Oh, right. That would be me.
When we got down to the road I put them back on pulling duty. They kept working all the way home.

.Net Framework Error
Buffer Overrun Error
A Buffer Overrun is actually a common attack on a computer that is designed by computer hackers. It is one of the most common forms of security risk, and it happens when unchecked external data is treated as trustworthy. These types of attacks are quite common with C and C++ coding that have poor coding practices in place.
Symptoms of Buffer Overrun
When a Buffer Overrun occurs, one of two things will happen. It could be that your application will abort with a core dump, access violation, or segmentation fault error message. That is unfortunately a best case scenario. In the worst case scenario a hacker can exploit weak files and add their own malicious code which can be hard to catch, until you realize your online security has been compromised.
Causes of Buffer Overrun
Malware can be the cause of Buffer Overrun, especially if the hackers have had their way with your computer's files already. However, another cause may be a registry that has become corrupt due to being unorganized and cluttered. Whatever the cause may be, it is important to root out a Buffer Overrun as soon as it is discovered.
Fixing a Buffer Overrun
Whenever a Buffer Overrun problem occurs the first thing that you should do when attempting to fix it is run a complete anti-malware scan on your computer.
- Locate the anti-malware software icon on your desktop or computer tray.
- Double-click the icon.
- Run a full system anti-malware scan.
- Allow scan to compete.
- Any malware that is found should be put in quarantine or deleted.
Restart your computer after these actions to ensure all changes take effect.
Execution Engine Error
An Execution Engine Error is one that is commonly associated with the program Event Viewer. This error message is one that might not be very prevalent, but when it does come up it can cause things on a PC to wrong in an awful hurry.
Symptoms of an Execution Engine Error
For the most part an Execution Engine Error is easily noticed when as any attempt to open the Event Viewer program results in an instantaneous crash with the following message:
".NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.3603 – Fatal Execution Engine Error (7A036050) (80131506)"
From there the only thing you can do is click on the red icon you see to get more information about the particular Execution Engine Error you are working with.
Causes of an Execution Engine Error
An Execution Engine Error can be caused by a couple of different things. The most common factor is one that Microsoft has already deemed important enough to make a fix for, which is program related. However, there may be an issue with a computer's registry in some instances. No matter what the cause is though, without addressing the problem right away it will only get worse.
Fixing an Execution Engine Error
Because Microsoft came out with their own "hot fix" for this problem it is the first solution that you should attempt.
- Go to Microsoft's help pages.
- Search for Execution Engine Error.
- Execute the hot fix as instructed.
- Restart your computer once the hot fix is completed.
- Attempt to run Event Viewer again and see if your system is fixed.
Entry Point Not Found Error
Entry Point Not Found errors are ones that typically happen when there is too much data overloading a PC. These errors can come up with various applications such as Windows XP updates and even more recently with Skype.
Symptoms of Entry Point Not Found Errors
When an Entry Point Not Found error occurs you are generally clued in by the way your PC acts. Your machine will likely slow and might even crash. The Blue Screen of Death is not even out of the picture with this error. Additionally, a pop-up style error message will likely appear alerting you to the problem.
Entry Point Not Found Errors Causes
Lack of maintenance to a PC is a common cause of an Entry Point Not Found error. When there is a lack of maintenance it is not unlikely that certain files will be broken and/or incomplete. This is something that only gets worse as time passes.
Fixing an Entry Point Not Found Error
To start with, try to determine what kind of Entry Point Not Found error you are receiving. If you can pinpoint it to a certain program then try uninstalling and then reinstalling that program. If that solution fails try to restore your computer to a time when there was no such error popping up.
- Start your computer in Safe Mode.
- Click on the Start Button.
- Click on All Programs.
- Click Accessories then System then System Restore.
- Click on a restoration date of your choice.
- Follow the prompts that are displayed.
- Restart your computer to allow change to take effect.
The Dreaded 100% CPU Usage Message
If there is one thing no PC user wants to see it is that their CPU usage is at 100%. When this occurs it signifies that there are major troubles ahead and it is an issue that needs to be addressed right away.
100% CPU Usage Symptoms
If your PC is letting you know that your CPU usage is at 100% you will likely know it. Because this means that all of your available memory is being used, your PC will slow dramatically. In some cases, if not attended to in a timely manner, this problem can lead to far worse consequences such as frequent freezes and/or crashes.
100% CPU Usage Causes
There are many factors that can attribute to your 100% CPU Usage troubles. In some cases it may be that your PC has very little, or even cheap, memory. However, it is more commonly a problem with the PC itself such as malware running in the background without you knowing or a registry that is disorganized and/or corrupted.
Fixing 100% CPU Usage
When you see that you are at 100% CPU Usage the first thing to do is to check your memory. If you find that the memory your PC contains is sufficient then you likely have malware issues that need to be attended to.
- Start your PC in Safe Mode by pressing the F8 key during startup.
- Find the anti-malware software icon located on your tool tray or on your desktop and double-click to open it.
- Scan the entire PC instead of just doing a quick scan.
- Delete any and all malware or other adware programs that are found.
Restart your computer for changes to take place.
Dealing with a .NET Framework Error
A .NET Framework Error can occur when a computer user is attempting to run a Windows Update, a Microsoft Update, or an attempted update of malware signatures with Microsoft Security Essentials is being attempted. So, this is a problem that is exclusive to Microsoft, but it can cause plenty of damage to your computer if left alone.
Symptoms of .NET Framework Error
Whenever a .NET Framework Error occurs you will be notified with one of two error codes. The first is "0×80070643" and the second is "0×643." The error code you receive will depend on what you were trying to do when the error took place.
Causes of .NET Framework Error
The main cause of this type of error is a mis-configuration of files. This can be due to files that are not updated properly and might even be due to a registry that is cluttered and/or corrupted. Another possible cause is a corrupted hard disk.
Fixing .NET Framework Error
When attempting to fix a .NET Framework Error you can try to do it manually or use an automated method from Microsoft.
Solution 1: Using Microsoft's Automated Wizard
- Go to Microsoft's help and support site.
- Conduct a search for the error you are receiving.
- Choose to Fix MSI software update registration corruption issues.
- Follow the Wizard when prompted.
- Restart your computer when finished.
Solution 2: Manual Attention to Repair .NET Framework
- Click the Start button.
- Type "Uninstall" in the Search box.
- Click Uninstall a program.
- Double-click where you see "Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Client Profile to launch .NET Framework 4 Client Profile Maintenance dialog."
- Select Repair .NET Framework 4 Client Profile to its original state. C
- Click Next.
- Click Finish when prompted.
To restart your computer Click Restart Now.

In the case of weed, there is plenty of scientific evidence of the potent medicinal properties of this plant: it relieves pain and stress, improves focus, accelerates metabolism, relaxes muscles, and so on.
It may seem that the words "sports" and "marijuana" cannot be in the same sentence, but they actually go hand in hand.
Every year, nearly 500 people run the 4.2-mile San Francisco Marathon as a part of the annual 420 Games, and half of them admitted to using medical cannabis before the race. The 420 Games is a series of sports events that combines weed and activism with health and wellness pursuits. It was organized in order to de-stigmatize medical pot and debunk the stereotype of marijuana users being lazy, unmotivated "stoners."
All this raises the question about marijuana's impact on your workout. Is it safe to use pot while working out? Does it help? How to use it for getting the best results?
There is nothing new for potheads in the fact that the human body stores the principal psychoactive ingredient of cannabis—tetrahydrocannabinol (or THC)—in fat tissue. However, a study published in Drug and Alcohol Dependence showed that exercise may elevate blood THC levels by releasing dormant THC from fat stores. That means that the storage process can give you an extra boost during a workout, even up to 28 days after cannabis consumption.
As the body begins to burn off the fat, some amount of the cannabis component is released into the bloodstream, which produces an effect similar to consuming a small amount of marijuana. THC blood levels increase immediately after the moderate workout by nearly 15 percent and is no longer present a couple of hours later.
The endocannabinoid system (ECS) is a group of receptors for interaction with the cannabinoids that the body naturally produces. This system creates a natural cannabinoid involved in a variety of psychological processes, including mood, appetite, memory, immune function, pain-sensation, and many others.
Numerous studies showed that the ECS is associated with physical activity, obesity, and the related metabolic disorders. When you exercise, the ECS releases the active components that can help you cope with the stress of physical activity. So, consuming weed before the workout can be your extra dose of these protective qualities.
Some athletes say that THC and CBD ease anxiety and increase the pain threshold, so they can push themselves during the training.
An endurance athlete may benefit from the pain-numbing and bronchodilatory effects of cannabis to successfully get through the training session, and a mixed martial arts fighter is actually able to experience a combination of pain relief, focus, and high concentration. However, it works positively only under the condition that the amount of consumed weed is moderated and is not more than 100 mg of THC. In other cases, the plant could become a recipe for disaster.
A lot of pot studies showed that ingesting or smoking marijuana decreased the reaction time, lowered attention, and disrupted perception and hand-eye coordination for up to 36 hours after usage. Thus, one could conclude that consuming weed before a complex game requiring fine motor skills like ballroom dancing or basketball game is not the best idea.
Everyone who has ever experienced a super hardcore training knows how painful the next few days could be. Luckily, athletes have something to help them survive this difficult time.
According to the study from the journal Sleep Medicine, marijuana helps athletes bounce back from a day of vigorous workout. Thanks to its relaxing and relieving effects, the small amount of plant can be safely used for a healthy performance recovery.
Smoking weed after working out means the end of the muscle pain. Moreover, it is definitely safer than swallowing a bunch of Ambien or Vicodin.

Some people love numbers, working with them, playing with them, and thinking about them. Other people do not. In my leadership roles I have found that many people do not even have a basic understanding of how to use numbers in their work. Concepts like types of numbers, percentages, slopes and trends are foreign to many American adults. A lot of people learned these things in high school or college, but have not used them since.
The MDH Institute exists to educate, to edify, and to entertain. Most of the things that we include are the direct result of problems that we have encountered in life and work. I have seen many teams fail and initiatives sputter because the action officers did not have the requisite numerical literacy to accomplish the mission. The attached article is intended to reintroduce workers and others to the uses of numbers, and help these people use them.

Frederick uses appointment and contact data to communicate effectively with your clients. Appointment data is tied to a single contact and errors can occur when they are 2 or more of the same email address or phone number within your booking management system. When Frederick comes across duplicates, only the first record will be imported and the 2nd ignored.
Here's an example:
A contact is listed twice in Booker
Record 1:
Name: John Smith
Email: email@example.com
Phone: 415-555-5555
Record 2:
Name: John Smith
Phone: 415-555-5555
Record 1 is the one that is imported in Frederick. If appointment data in Booker is tied to Record 2, then no appointment data will be imported into Frederick. This could cause a missed appointment reminder or a time-based campaign like Rescue Lost Customer to go out prematurely.
Troubleshooting Steps
- First check the Frederick's reports to see if they received an email or SMS reminder by click on Reports > Email History or Text Message History. Use the Search Box and filters to locate the email or text
- Check for duplicates. Search both the Frederick and management system database by phone number and email address to see if they're listed more than once.
- If duplicate is found in Frederick, unsubscribe one record from text and email.
- If duplicate is found in management system, merge the records or remove one of them.
Didn't find the answer you were looking for? Feel free to reach out to email@example.com and we'll be happy to check on a missing appointment reminder!

Device Grips, Bombs Away Café, 2527 NW Monroe Ave. 10 p.m.
Device Grips is… different. A mixture of hip-hop, blues, and psychedelia comes together with lyrical prowess to produce a groove that is unlikely to ever fall on even a single deaf ear. Excellent Oregon band + awesome food and drink… with no cover. If you're looking for something different (as in, excellent), this is your ticket.
Wild Hog in the Woods, Calapooia Brewing Company, 140 NE Hill St. 7:30 p.m.
Fifteen-plus year Corvallis stringband veterans Wild Hog in the Woods will be taking Calapooia Brewery by storm, and I'm thinking you should be there. If you're a fan of old-time music of any kind, you'll thank me later as Corvallis' finest pluckers fill you with the warmth of yesteryears.
Friday, 9
The Shy Seasons and Cambrian Explosion, Bombs Away Cafe, 2527 NW Monroe Ave. 9 p.m. $5 cover
Shy Seasons is a four-piece band that's about as psychedelic as they are alternative, sporting groovy electronic rock tunes with titles that remind me of songs titles I'd have come up with if I were on some sort of er, substance. Their stagemates, Cambrian Explosion, are also rooted in psychedelic rock, but are of a different breed altogether. Both bands hail from the far-off land of Oregon, and will undoubtedly make for an awesome double-header.
Shy Seasons: shyseasons.bandcamp.com & www.facebook.com/theshyseasons
Cambrian Explosion: cepdx.bandcamp.com & www.facebook.com/cambrianexplosion
The Low Down, Cloud & Kelly's, 126 SW 1st St. 10 p.m. 21+, No cover
From here on out, if you find yourself at Cloud & Kelly's on any given Friday night, your earballs will be treated to tunes tossed about by DJs Modesik and Sayhiro. This has been a test of the emergency bar scene system. Only it's not really a test, because this is real. Beep-beep-beep-beep-beep-beep.
Saturday, 10
Sam Densmore, Calapooia Brewing Company, 140 SE Hill St. 8 p.m.
To be honest, I cringe every time I hear about another folk/singer songwriter. Sometimes I ever barf up a bit of my last meal. My wife went through a phase where she only want to listen to The Lumineers and I almost divorced her. Now, Sam Densmore, yes he's got a guitar and writes songs in the folk vein. He also busts his ass, playing about 100 shows a year, and writes songs that I dig a lot and remind me of the best parts of R.E.M. and Wilco. Check out his show in Albany or I'll go ahead and actually divorce my wife, and it'll be your fault.
Blookie, Bombs Away Café, 2527 NW Monroe Ave. 9 p.m.
The band with the name that you want to say over and over and over until you piss everyone you know off, Blookie is a Green Day/Weezer cover band that pays tribute to both bands' better records (if you disagree, go to hell). This show? Oh, they'll just be playing Dookie and the Blue Album… and then some other great songs. No big deal.
Sunday, 11
Auditions for 'The Wizard of Oz,' Albany Civic Theater, 111 1st Ave. W. 7:30 to 10 p.m.
Everyone, at some point or another, has desired their time in the spotlight… on the grand stage. That's a total lie, but just roll with me. If you want to strut your stuff in "The Wizard of Oz" (the real thing, not the crappy one with Zooey Deschanel), this is your chance to break a leg. Today the 12-and-unders are welcome (and dogs…), while teens and adults are green lit for the 12th and 13th.
Blues Jam!, Calapooia Brewing Company, 140 NE Hill St. 4 to 6 p.m.
Blues Jam is, contrary to popular belief, not something you spread on wheat bread when you're sad. It's when a whole bunch of blues enthusiasts show up at Calapooia Brewing, dump beer down their throats, and then either rock the hell out or kick back and enjoy the tunes. Seriously, you've had to listen to Taylor Swift's latest yammering how many times recently thanks to your kid? Blues Jam is like a colonic for your music mind.
Monday, 12
Science Pub Corvallis, Old World Deli, 341 SW 2nd St. 6 to 8 p.m.
Beer, science. And then more of each. If you're into those two things and have yet to get on the Science Pub train, I have to ask… WTF, bro? The amazing speaker this time around is Sarina Saturn from OSU's School of Psychological Sciences. She'll be discussing the issue of science and gender, as well as how women fit into the scientific enterprise. No, not NCC-1791-D, sorry.
International Folk Dancing, 1180 25th Ave. SW, Albany. 7 to 9 p.m. $4
While they likely won't appreciate the kind of dancing I do while washing the dishes (and neither would you), the Hoolyehs, a group of international folk dance enthusiasts that have been cutting Corvallis' rugs since the 1960s, have a new recurring dance night. No partner necessary, every Monday, for a paltry four bucks.
Tuesday, 13
Community Movie Night with Ygal Kaufman, Darkside Cinema, 215 SW 4th St. 7 p.m. Free
The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934) starring Leslie Banks and Peter Lorre, directed by Alfred Hitchcock. This super-taut thriller is so good, Hitchcock couldn't help but remake it himself. His 1956 version with Jimmy Stewart and Doris Day is more well-remembered, but this first version has its own charms, including the magnetic legend, Peter Lorre, in one of his best roles. Hitchcock night at Community Movie Night is always mobbed, so be sure to get there early. Free admission and the old newsreels and cartoons before the feature make this one of the best cinema nights of the month.
Celtic Jam, Imagine Coffee, 5460 SW Philomath Blvd. 7 p.m.
When I think of Celtic Jam, I think of 30-year-old marmalade that has turned green. And that's sort of disturbing right now because I'm really hungry. Thankfully for you, however, this Celtic Jam is actually just a hell of an awesome treat to give your ears. Any and all are welcome, regardless of skill level.
Wednesday, 14
Mr. Bill's Trivia Night, Murphy's Restaurant & Lounge, 2740 SW 3rd St. 7 to 10 p.m.
I swear to the lord above (or over yonder, wherever said lord is), if you can resist something called Mr. Bill's Trivia Night, hosted by a slick dude in a mustache and tux, you are a better person than I am. He's been at it since 1984, there are prizes, and gadzooks, just stop reading this and pencil it in already.
'Joy to the World,' Benton County Museum, 1101 Main St., Philomath. 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Though it opened last month, this is a truly great exhibit that might help work off that holiday hangover. Running through Jan. 25, featured artists include Studio 262 owner Jennifer Lommers as well as award-winning artists Jan Maitland and Jan Roberts-Dominguez. Work will including everything from paintings to glass art, jewelry design, drawings, and more. And as always, the museum will be packed full of Oregon's history!
Thursday, 15
Rough Jazz, Calapooia Brewing Company, 140 NE Hill St. 7 p.m.
They're rough, they're jazz. The players are fantastic. Their performances are killer—I highly recommend enjoying a couple. If you dig the kind of jazz you can really just sink into, you'll thank me later. This is the real deal, folks!
Freerange Open Mic, Cloud & Kelly's, 126 SW 1st St. 8 p.m.
I had this thought the other day about peripheral vision and urinals, and how I might have been seeing all sorts of things that I didn't know I had been seeing… and then I thought hey, I should tell people. I should get on stage at an awesome local open mic and just let it all out. However, I'm not going to, so you can safely show up and do something awesome instead.

Fat chance
How far should we go in tackling the 'obesity epidemic'?
In the UK obesity is fast becoming public health enemy number one. Around one in ten five-year-olds and one in four 11-year-olds in England are obese, according to a survey carried out in 2012/13. Based on current trends, at least half of the UK population are expected to be obese by 2050. Obesity may already be the cause of more ill health than smoking in this country.
While few doubt that obesity is a health issue for individuals and society more generally, what can – or should – be done about it is less obvious.
Is it a matter for individuals? Or the government? Should the food industry take any responsibility?
Obesity is a deceptively complex issue. Our bodies have physiological systems to maintain body weight, with the hypothalamus playing a critical role in assessing the body's energy needs and regulating appetite and exercise.
Yet the body's response to weight gain – rare before the 20th century – is much less powerful than its response to weight loss.
Obesity's causes are simple enough – people consume more calories than they burn off. The obvious solution, then, is that people eat less and exercise more. Yet a strong genetic component to weight and a highly obesogenic environment make this solution far harder to achieve in practice than it sounds.
Some health experts have pointed out that it is actually very difficult not to put on weight in the current environment. The ready availability of food, much of it rich in calories and heavily marketed, together with reduced opportunities for physical exercise, have created an obesogenic environment. A 2014 report by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence suggested the government could be doing more to limit the availability of unhealthy foods.
Attitudes to obesity are generally negative – a judge on 'Dragon's Den' has publicly said that he would not employ a fat person, while a 2012 study found that employers rated obese job applicants' CVs lower when photos that were taken before weight-loss surgery were attached, as opposed to when post-surgery photos were attached.
NHS advice on obesity states that "while there are some...genetic conditions that can cause obesity...there is no reason why most people cannot lose weight".
But while exhortations to eat less and exercise more might be well-intentioned, there is a risk that they send negative messages to those struggling to contain their weight. There is already evidence that the overweight are stigmatised and discriminated against. Constant messages that obesity is a 'bad thing' run the risk of reinforcing negative attitudes.
Many people would argue that our weight is wholly within our power to control – we just need to exercise some willpower. The evidence all around us, and from biology, suggests this is an unrealistic and unreasonable presumption.

Insulation is one of the easiest ways to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, increase manufacturing productivity, control condensation and mold growth, and plenty of other benefits. But the only way to reap these benefits is by properly maintaining your insulation systems. It is estimated that between 10% and 30% of all exposed mechanical insulation becomes missing or damaged within 1-3 years of installation. That means that all of the savings projections will significantly decrease—unless a maintenance plan is implemented.
Mechanical insulation is generally very low-maintenance, but it requires regular visual inspections and routine upkeep to function the way it was intended.
Here are some tips and ideas to get started implementing a mechanical insulation maintenance plan in your facility:
- Start by educating decision-makers about the benefits of mechanical insulation systems and the risks of not actively maintaining them. Many decision-makers don't have detailed knowledge about why insulation is important, so getting buy-in from the top down is important.
- Use financial models and cost savings projections to influence decision-makers into allocating the attention and resources you need to implement your insulation maintenance initiatives. Insulation maintenance is an investment, not an expense. The damage and loss of cost savings that can be caused by a lack of maintenance can be significant.
- Some companies have someone in charge of recycling efforts or other green initiatives. Well, every plant, facility, or company needs an insulation "champion," too. This person needs to own the responsibility for making sure the maintenance gets done effectively and on time. That way there is accountability and this process starts to become ingrained.
- Make sure that best practices are being used across all departments/branches.
- Take into consideration any pressure from competing—and sometimes more "glamorous"—initiatives. Use your insulation champions to keep the ROI and cost savings top of mind.
It can be difficult to implement a mechanical insulation maintenance plan when there are so many other initiatives going on. But by providing a bit of education about the benefits of insulation, you can create champions who will help you impact the company's operations and bottom line.

Video released of Broward Circuit Judge Cynthia Imperato's DUI arrest
Imperato set for hearing on Dec 2
BOCA RATON, Fla. – The Boca Raton Police Department on Friday released the dash cam video shot the night that Broward Circuit judge Cynthia Imperato was arrested for DUI.
The video shows the judge initially refusing to exit the car during the November 5 arrest.
"I'm not doing anything until I talk to my lawyer," Imperato told the officer.
She also refused to submit to a roadside sobriety test and a breathalyzer test, which prompts a mandatory year-long suspension of her driver's license, before walking to the car in what appears to be an unsteady manner. She was then arrested.
After missing three days on the bench, Imperato was voluntarily transferred from the criminal division to work on civil foreclosure cases.
She is set for her first hearing on the DUI charge December 2.

Shahjaad Khan was born 8th of December 1986 in Bolton, Greater Manchester, England. He was more commonly known as "Amir Khan".
At the age of 18, Amir Khan became a professional boxer after beating Cuban Mario Kindelan to revenge his defeat in 2004' Olympic lightweight final. Amir Khan signed a three-year professional deal with promoter Frank Warren.
At the age of 17, Amir had three English School titles. He had three Junior ABA titles; a gold in 2003 Junior Olympics, gold in 2004 European Championships, gold in 2004 World Junior Championships in South Korea. He also won silver in 2004 Athens Olympics which brought him to fame.
He was previously the Commonwealth Lightweight champion, and was also the WBO Inter-Continental lightweight champion and the WBA International Lightweight champion.
Since Amir's return from the Athens, he was commonly known as a superstar. According to his agent, Asif Vali, the people's interest in Amir was phenomenal. Amir has been offered everything, from record deals up to roles in films.But behind every lucrative offer, he does not display even a hint of arrogance and his family still remains their feet on the ground. He is a well-known British Muslim which helps him encourage better relations between British Muslims to wider communities more particularly in his hometown of Bolton.

- CLARK COLVEN and his gay ladie, As they walked to yon garden green, A belt about her middle gimp, Which cost Clark Colven crowns fifteen:
- 'O hearken weel now, my good lord, O hearken weel to what I say; When ye gang to the wall o Stream, O gang nae neer the well-fared may.'
- 'O haud your tongue, my gay ladie, Tak nae sic care o me; For I nae saw a fair woman I like so well as thee.'
- He mounted on his berry-brown steed, And merry, merry rade he on, Till he came to the wall o Stream, And there he saw the mermaiden.
- 'Ye wash, ye wash, ye bonny may, And ay's ye wash your sark o silk:' 'It's a' for you, ye gentle knight, My skin is whiter than the milk.'
- He's taen her by the milk-white hand,
He's taen her by the sleeve sae green,
And he's forgotten his gay ladie,
And away with the fair maiden.
- 'Ohon, alas!' says Clark Colven, 'And aye sae sair's I mean my head!' And merrily leugh the mermaiden, 'O win on till you be dead.
- 'But out ye tak your little pen-knife, And frae my sark ye shear a gare; Row that about your lovely head, And the pain ye'll never feel nae mair.'
- Out he has taen his little pen-knife, And frae her sark he's shorn a gare, Rowed that about his lovely head, But the pain increased mair and mair.
- 'Ohon, alas!' says Clark Colven, 'An aye sae sair's I mean my head!' And merrily laughd the mermaiden, 'It will ay be war till ye be dead.'
- Then out he drew his trusty blade, And thought wi it to be her dead, But she's become a fish again, And merrily sprang into the fleed.
- He's mounted on his berry-brown steed, And dowy, dowy rade he home, And heavily, heavily lighted down When to his ladie's bower-door he came.
- 'Oh, mither, mither, mak my bed, And, gentle ladie, lay me down; Oh, brither, brither, unbend my bow, 'Twill never be bent by me again.'
- His mither she has made his bed, His gentle ladie laid him down, His brither he has unbent his bow, 'Twas never bent by him again.

Basics of Online Bingo
Basics of Online Bingo
Before you make up you mind to enter the online bingo arena, here are some bingo basics that you must learn in order to become a successful bingo player and enhance your gaming experience.
Before starting to play bingo online, the first obstacle that any player has to overcome is to find a legitimate and trustworthy online bingo site. The best way is to choose a site that has been around for a while and enjoys a good reputation among players. You might consider visiting various bingo forums and blogs, where regular bingo players post their playing experiences at various online bingo halls. These players share their opinions and warn new players of the fraud sites. Apart from this, you will also be able to know which sites offer good payouts, which sites give biggest progressive jackpots, which sites don't process timely payments to winners or answers to any other query you might have.
The next step is to browse the internet and find a reliable bingo site that suits your pocket and needs best. Make sure that the stakes are within your budget, the site is reliable and user-friendly and offer no deposit bonus to new players. Once you've found the desired online place to play, all you have to do is register, make a deposit and start playing without any doubts or hesitation.
New players please note that before making a deposit, do read all the terms and conditions on the site carefully. Begin with depositing a smaller amount so that even if you don't like the site after trying a few games, you are not obliged to continue playing and quit anytime you want.
Once you have registered at a bingo site and have made your first deposit, your next step is to buy the bingo cards and plunge into the action. Unlike land based bingo halls, most online bingo halls allow you to play with as many bingo cards as you want. There are several bingo rooms running back to back bingo games around the clock. There are new games being played every few minutes, so you don't have to sit around for hours waiting for your turn. All you have to do is buy your cards, join the chat room, sit back and watch your cards as the auto-daub marks off numbers on your card and calls bingo for you. In addition, most bingo sites have a chat room, where you can interact and befriend other players who are always agog to strike a conversation.
Other bingo basics include a broad understanding the bingo rules and the basic composition of a bingo card. The objective of any bingo game is to be the first player to complete the winning pattern and yell 'Bingo!'. A bingo card is the most important component of the game, without which the game cannot proceed. Typically, a bingo card consists of 5 rows and 5 columns i.e. 25 spaces including one free space right in the center of the card. The term BINGO runs across the top of the bingo card with each letter representing a separate column.

Animals in wartime are not only potential victims. Sometimes they are part of the military. For decades, not only dogs but dolphins and sea lions have been used by the military in the course of wars. In fact, the US NAVY actually has an entire marine mammal division and recognizes that it was already operational during the Vietnam War. People report that the USSR had the same sort of division in its time. The US NAVY says that the animals are only used for exploratory missions, to find objects (such as mines) and report back to the humans. Other say that animals are actually taking part in combat. In any case, these animals are part of the military and are deployed in combat zones. Which brings up a lot of questions of international humanitarian law.
To help us understand how international humanitarian law deals with these questions, I invited Vaios Koutroulis, a professor of International Humanitarian Law at the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB). While sharing a cup of tea, I asked him the following 5 questions :
Q1 – Are animals traditionally relevant in international humanitarian law in any way?
Q2 – What would be the statute of a minesweeper animal under international humanitarian law? Is the minesweeper dog or dolphin a combatant? A weapon?
Q3 – Would you say it is legitimate for a soldier of the opposite side to kill an animal that is used as a minesweeper?
Q4 – If the minesweeper animal is captured, is he or she a prisoner of war?
Q5 – What would be the statute of an animal used as a combatant? A dolphin that would carry explosive to sink a vessel for example.
If you are interested in the answers, please watch this short video clip:
