We can help. You can overcome drug addiction and have a better life than you ever thought possible!
There are lots of drug rehabilitation facilities possibilities open to individuals living in the Miami region. You should recognize all the types of rehabilitation options that are available in Miami, AB., to be able to find the ideal treatment option for yourself or a loved one. Selecting the proper drug and alcohol treatment program in Miami is the central element in the treatment of drug abuse, drug addiction and alcoholism. This data will assist you to understand your various rehabilitation possibilities allowing you to have the best probability of an ideal final result.
Let's examine the different drug and alcohol treatment centers in Miami, Arizona possibilities that coincide with the condition of the individual seeking rehabilitation.
Inpatient alcohol and drug rehab in Miami, AB. is often a rehab option ideal for many who need medical intervention in the course of rehabilitation or clients with considerable drug abuse histories. People will experience physical and mental dependence to drugs even after a brief amount of time, so inpatient drug treatment in Miami is considered the most effective rehabilitation possibility in nearly all cases. Because of dependence and addiction, men and women will often not be able to recover with the limited services provided by outpatient treatment programs in Miami, Arizona where alcohol and drugs continue to be readily available when they leave the outpatient program. Likewise, individuals in rehab who take part in outpatient rehab instead of inpatient alcohol and drug rehab in Miami continue to be vulnerable to detrimental relationships and situations which may get in the way of their recovery process. If an individual lives with an abusive partner or continues to maintain associations which involve drug use, any rehabilitation activities in outpatient rehabilitation are done in vain. For this reason in-patient alcohol and drug rehabilitation in Miami, AB. is going to result in more fruitful results that can prove lasting in contrast to an outpatient drug and alcohol rehabilitation program where advantages are often very limited and acute.
In Miami there is both short-term and long-term inpatient drug and alcohol treatment. Short-term is a 30-day facility, while long-term inpatient drug rehab in Miami, Arizona is much more in depth and treatment lasts 3 to 6 months on average. It is deemed an ideal setting for clients since it is a secure drug free environment where they are able to recover both mentally and physically without interruptions. Ideally, men and women will continue within a long-term in-patient alcohol and drug treatment program in Miami for the maximum stretch of time permitted, in order to deal with anything which might cut across their sobriety when they depart rehabilitation. Because of the fact that detoxing and becoming physically stabilized can require 2-3 weeks by itself, the 3 to 6 months in long-term in-patient drug and alcohol rehab in Miami is going to be time wisely spent and much more efficient than short-term centers.
The most crucial factor of all if you or a loved one is struggling with a drug abuse or addiction problem is to do something about it, call someone and seek the advice of skilled addiction specialists and get an evaluation and rehab possibilities to guarantee the greatest chance for a full recovery.

|Storage proxy write latency is too high
|Thu, 01 Oct 2009 22:51:08 GMT
Hi, I have the following puzzle: Storage proxy write latency ~235ms CF write latency <1 ms I have 3 nodes in the cluster, Cassandra v.0.4. Tokens evenly distributed. The client connects to a node and inserts a key with ConsistencyLevel.ONE If it happen to be a local write operation is fast, same speed as in one node setup. JMX shows write latency <1 ms If it happens to be a remote insert StorageProxy sends it to a proper node. This operation is slow. JMX shows write latency ~ 235ms. In the same time, on remote node JMX shows same <1ms write latency. So it's not remote node being sluggish, it's something else. There are no pending tasks on remote node - JMX counters are always zero, network is 1Gb, idle. So I can't blame it. I profiled Cassandra server in JProfiler, could not find a thing. All this extra time is spent inside QuorumResponseHandler waiting for the condition to signal. Which should happen as soon as response is received. There is one pooled TCP connection open to remote host. Hardly a bottleneck, ThreadPoolExecutors looks OK. Any ideas why write latency it is so high?

The bandaged foot (缠足 – chánzú) was a popular practice in some parts of China until the twentieth century. Activists against bounded feet educated practitioners by telling them the perception of the outside world of this trend as a barbarity, and teaching them the advantages of normal feet. With all this, the practice was nearly eradicated, but some families continued this tradition until it was banned by the Communist government in 1949. Continue reading
The purpose of this post is to compare how is gender in China, and connected with that how Chinese women feel that they are inferior than mens.
Chinese women are discriminated against in society and grow in an environment where the listener negative comments about their role in society, its capacity, its value … This creates it as a way of thinking that makes you feel incompetent, submissive and without values.
Famous people from China.
Could you say that you know some famous from China? Have you ever think how many famous people are from china?
It is to said that nowadays, famous people from China are not as well known as they could be the ones who are from America. Due to this, we should bear in mind that not all the famous are from America. Everyone should at least know five famous who have been born in this beautiful country called China and have succeded in the famous world.Lets go ahead and find out who are the five most popular people in China.

Mid-Autumn Festival is the festival more adapted to our period of the year. The day is also known as the Moon Festival, as at that time of the year the moon is at its roundest and brightest.
On the festival day, family members gather to offer sacrifice to the moon, appreciate the bright full moon, eat moon cakes, and express strong yearnings toward family members and friends who live afar. In addition, there are some other customs like playing lanterns, and dragon and lion dances in some regions.

Weapons of the Weak
Everyday Forms of Peasant Resistance
James C. Scott
View Inside Price: $24.00
September 10, 1987
392 pages, 6 1/8 x 9 1/4
Also Available in:e-book
This sensitive picture of the constant and circumspect struggle waged by peasants materially and ideologically against their oppressors shows that techniques of evasion and resistance may represent the most significant and effective means of class struggle in the long run."A major contribution to peasant studies, Malaysian studies, and the literature on revolutions and class consciousness."--Benedict R. Anderson, Cornell University
"The book is a splendid achievement. Because Scott listens closely to the villagers of Malaysia, he enormously expands our understanding of popular ideology and therefore of popular politics. And because he is also a brilliant analyst, he draws upon this concrete experience to develop a new critique of classical theories of ideology."—Frances Fox Piven, Graduate Center of the City University of New York
"An impressive work which may well become a classic."—Terence J. Byres, Times Literary Supplement
"A highly readable, contextually sensitive, theoretically astute ethnography of a moral system in change…. Weapons of the Weak is a brilliant book, combining a sure feel for the subjective side of struggle with a deft handling of economic and political trends."—John R. Bown, Journal of Peasant Studies
"A splendid book, a worthy addition to the classic studies of Malay society and of the peasantry at large…. Combines the readability of Akenfield or Pig Earth with an accessible and illuminating theoretical commentary."—A.F. Robertson, Times Higher Education Supplement
"No one who wants to understand peasant society, in or out of Southeast Asia, or theories of change, should fail to read [this book]."—Daniel S. Lev, Journal of Asian Studies
"A moving account of the poor's refusal to accept the terms of their subordination…. Disposes of the belief that theoretical sophistication and intelligible prose are somehow at odds."—Ramachandra Guha, Economic and Political Weekly
"A seminally important commentary on the state of peasant studies and the global literature…. This enormously rich work in Asian and comparative studies is… an essential contribution to participatory development theory and practice."—Guy Gran, World Development
James C. Scott is professor of political science at Yale University.

Curso voltado para a precificação de ativos diversos, como ações fundos, swaps, etc... Houveram poucos exemplos durante as aulas, o que torna as provas bem difíceis.

This class is a total waste of time and money.
1-The presenter's English is not up to code, so to speak.
2-The examples are purely theoretical and lack any kind of real numbers. Greek characters proliferate unnecessarily, adding to confusion.
3-The course materials make no effort to explain formulas in a clear and concise manner.

I think the way it is taught is not very insightful, the lecturers clearly just read a script and make it difficult to follow. They assignment questions are often hard to understand.

This course effectively provides an introductory overview of the basic concepts in financial engineering world (arbitrage, discounting, fair pricing etc). I would have prefer more mathematical insight, but indeed the use of basic mathematical tools was pointed out as intentional in the course presentation. Exercises at the end of each module are really helpful to clarify the concepts exposed during the lessons. Considering the limited amount of hours devoted to such complex arguments, this course fulfills its promises.

Challenging course but I've really got a good sense of the mechanics of main financial instruments such as bonds, options, futures, swaptions, etc. Being able to do all the exercises in Excel is pretty convenient. Exercises are difficult because there is no feedback - it's either right or wrong.
by Michael A R•

Good introduction to term structure modeling, arbitrage and other similar topics, quizes were challenging and required independent thought. Good course overall, the lack of guidance on incorrect quiz questions except for through the forum is the only reason for a loss of star.

The course provides a very thorough introduction on the basic models and mechanisms by which various financial products are priced. One issue I had, was that the quiz questions sometimes used terminology or jargon for which the link with the material covered in the videos was not always immediately obvious. Also, the course, especially the later modules, heavily relies on Microsoft Excel, which some people might not be willing to pay hard cash for. It is possible to pass by doing the assignments with e.g. Python, but it's a lot of work, and not for the faint of heart.
by Tatsunari W•

The course is very elementary and basic. It should be a good intro 101 for those who have never studied mathematical finance. You can also practice using Excel if you have never used it before. It could be more challenging and fun if there were more modeling questions.

3 of 5 people injured at NC State Fair still hospitalized, one in critical condition. Here is a Video link from 2008
RALEIGH, N.C. — A complaint that was made about a ride that malfunctioned at the N.C. State Fair Thursday night was reveled by Fair officials in a press conference Friday.
The incident that injured five people happened around 9:17 p.m. on a ride called the Vortex.
Wake County Sheriff Donnie Harrison said an initial investigation showed the ride had stopped and people were getting off when it suddenly started up again.
He said two people suffered serious injuries and three others had minor injuries. Some of the people injured may have been family members. A ride operator was also among the injured.
All the victims were between the ages of 14 and 39 years old, according to the Sheriff Donnie Harrison. Authorities said they requested their names not be released.
WTVD reported that as of Friday morning, three of the victims were still at WakeMed Hospital, with one person in…

The other morning, after waking up from having a nightmare inside of a nightmare, I realized a something. I have been spending too much time pushing in the wrong directions. Some of it is business related, some of it is personal, but what it comes down to is the need to pull back.
The internet is a strange place--it is so easy to believe that in order to be known in "the world" you have to spend all this time putting yourself out there on the internet. I am trying to find a balance. And in order to do so, I need to focus.
I need to be making, exploring, living. Not in this virtual world, but outside. I have to pull back in order to push forward (like a slingshot). I have to let things go, focus on others, and move forward. Mostly, I need to simply live in the real world for a while.
I hope you are living, making, and exploring as well, because there is a whole wide world out there just waiting for you. Go get it.

Case Study:
The Srebrenica
Massacre, July 1995
[See also the case study of Bosnia-Herzegovina, and the Gendercide Watch photo gallery of the events surrounding the massacre.]
In the Bosnian silver-mining town of Srebrenica in July 1995, one of the most notorious modern acts of gendercide took place. While the international community and U.N. peacekeepers looked on, Serb forces separated civilian men from women and killed thousands of men en masse, or hunted them down in the forests.
The background
The events at Srebrenica mark the climax of the war in Bosnia-Herzegovina, the most vicious and genocidal battlefront in the Balkans conflict. The conflict in Bosnia-Herzegovina began in 1992 and featured largescale genocidal and gendercidal atrocities from the first. These are dealt with in a separate Bosnia case study. One of the largest massacres of the early part of the war took place at a gymnasium in the village of Bratunac in April 1992, when an estimated 350 Bosnian Muslim men were tortured to death and massacred by Serb paramilitaries and special police. Bratunac lay just outside Srebrenica, and would again serve as a killing ground when the city fell to Bosnian Serb forces in July 1995.
Although the Serbs seized Bratunac, they were not able to take Srebrenica itself. The city was defended by Naser Oric, a Rambo-like figure whose troops (and associated squads of civilian torbari, or "bag people") inflicted a number of smaller atrocities on Serb villages around the Srebrenica pocket. Eventually, in April 1993, Serb forces closed in for a final crushing of the town and Oric's forces. Serb General Ratko Mladic made it plain that he held a special grudge against the menfolk of Srebrenica, armed or unarmed. In scenes that gripped the attention of the world, hundreds of women and children were evacuated from Srebrenica before the Serb noose tightened and shut off all refugee flow. The plight of the city prompted the international community to declare Srebrenica one of five "safe areas" in Bosnia (the others were Zepa, Gorazde, Tuzla, Sarajevo, and Bihac in northwestern Bosnia). The meaning of the ambiguous term "safe area" was never properly defined, and sufficient forces were never committed to ensuring the safety of the Bosnian inhabitants. As events at Srebrenica two years later so grimly demonstrated, "the safe areas were among the most profoundly unsafe places in the world" (Silber and Little, The Death of Yugoslavia, p. 274.)
The gendercide
In June 1995, Bosnian Serb forces, pushing for a resolution to the ethnic "anomaly" of the Muslim enclaves, closed their noose around Srebrenica and the other "safe areas." In Srebrenica, mass panic took hold of the civilian population. Women and children gathered at the U.N. base of Potocari, together with about 1,700 men,while most of the "battle-age" males — mostly unarmed non-combatants — took to the hills in a desperate attempt to flee to Muslim-held territory to the west. At Potocari, Dutch troops meekly allowed the Serbs access to the camps and the refugees they held. Then, the following day — July 11 — some 1700 men, disproportionately the elderly and infirm, were separated from women and children. The peacekeepers "stood inches away from the Serb soldiers who were separating the Muslim men, one by one, from their families" (Sudetic, Blood and Vengeance, p. 306). At Serb command, the Dutch drew up a registry of 242 Bosnian men remaining in the camp, again mostly elderly and infirm. Then they handed the men over to the Serbs. Not one of the 242 men is known to have survived. The children and women were bused, with isolated exceptions, to safety in Tuzla. Men, almost without exception, were carted away to their deaths. (Note: Other sources cite 239 as the total number of men named on the list; for an account of how the 242 total was eventually arrived at, see the letter from Hasan Nuhanovic posted to the Women of Srebrenica website. The letter also gives a harrowingly detailed account of the separation of men and boys from the remainder of the population at the U.N. base, and the blatant Dutch complicity in the process. Thanks to Kate Myers for bringing this source to our attention.)
Satellite photo of Nova Kasaba mass graves.
Many of the men were killed in the school gymnasium in Bratunac that had already served as the site of a gendercidal massacre in the Bosnian war. Many hundreds more were massacred at a football field near Nova Kasaba, the worst killing ground of the entire five-day slaughter. Human Rights Watch recorded the testimony of one eyewitness to the gendercidal massacres at Nova Kasaba. The Serbs, he said,
picked out Muslims whom they either knew about or knew, interrogated them and made them dig pits. …During our first day, the Cetniks [Serbs] killed approximately 500 people [men]. They would just line them up and shoot them into the pits. The approximately one hundred guys whom they interrogated and who had dug the mass graves then had to fill them in. At the end of the day, they were ordered to dig a pit for themselves and line up in front of it. … [T]hey were shot into the mass grave. … At dawn, … [a] bulldozer arrived and dug up a pit …, and buried about 400 men alive. The men were encircled by Cetniks: whoever tried to escape was shot." (Quoted in Mark Danner, "The Killing Fields of Bosnia", New York Review of Books, September 24 1998.)
A great many of the men who had sought to flee through the hills to Tuzla were doomed as well. The Bosnian Serb commander, Gen. Radivoj Krstic, in a radio transmission intercepted by western eavesdroppers, told his forces: "You must kill everyone. We don't need anyone alive." (Mark Danner, "Bosnia: The Great Betrayal", New York Review of Books, March 26 1998.) Serb forces took special pleasure in isolating trees where men had sought to hide, and riddling them with shrapnel from anti-aircraft guns.
Trapped in the hills under Serb bombardment, sleepless and thirst-maddened, men succumbed to hallucinations, paranoia, and despair. "The psyches of the men ruptured. Muslims mistook other Muslims for infiltrators. They threw hand grenades and fired their automatics at one another. … Men shot themselves hoping the Serbs would show the wounded mercy" (Sudetic, Blood and Vengeance, p. 301). Many committed suicide. Thousands finally surrendered to Serb troops along the "Ring of Iron," who lured them with the sight of captured UN vehicles and promises of safe passage. All of those captured were taken to nearby fields and warehouses, executed, and buried in mass graves.
Summarizing the catastrophe in 1997, David Rohde — who as a journalist with the Christian Science Monitor won a Pulitzer Prize for uncovering the first mass graves around Srebrenica — offered a blistering critique of the moral lapse on the part of the "safe area's" alleged guardians: "The international community partially disarmed thousands of men, promised them they would be safeguarded and then delivered them to their sworn enemies. Srebrenica was not simply a case of the international community standing by as a far-off atrocity was committed. The actions of the international community encouraged, aided, and emboldened the executioners. … The fall of Srebrenica did not have to happen. There is no need for thousands of skeletons to be strewn across eastern Bosnia. There is no need for thousands of Muslim children to be raised on stories of their fathers, grandfathers, uncles and brothers slaughtered by Serbs." (Rohde, Endgame, pp. 351, 353.)
How many died?
The Red Cross lists 7,079 dead and missing at Srebrenica. Other estimates range as high as 8,000 or 10,000. David Rohde notes that the massacre "accounts for an astonishing percentage of the number of missing" from the brutal Balkans conflict as a whole. "Of the 18,406 Muslims, Serbs and Croats reported still missing … as of January 1997, 7,079 are people [men] who disappeared after the fall of Srebrenica. In other words, approximately 38 percent of the war's missing are from Srebrenica." By any standard, it was one of the worst and most concentrated acts of gendercide in the post-World War II era — and the worst massacre of any kind in Europe for fifty years.
Who is responsible?
Chuck Sudetic writes of the Srebrenica massacre that "the men who carried out the executions were reportedly under orders handed down by General [Ratko] Mladic and Radislav Krstic, a colonel in the Bosnian army who was promoted to general and named commander of the army's Drina corps by Mladic within a few days of the killings. Among the units that took part in the killings was the Tenth Commando squad, which answered directly to Mladic's headquarters … Men from Srebrenica, Bratunac, Kravica, Milii, Visegrad, Bajina Basta, Loznica, Zvornik, and other towns also participated." (Sudetic, Blood and Vengeance, pp. 317-18.)
In 1996, the International Criminal Tribunal indicted Mladic and Krstic for crimes of humanity committed at Srebrenica. Joining them on the list of indicted war-criminals was Radovan Karadzic, leader of the self-styled "Republika Srpska" or Serb-controlled territories in Bosnia. Karadzic was intimately involved in planning the "endgame" in the Bosnian war, for which Srebrenica was to serve as a centerpiece. In July 1999, the Tribunal found that these mass murderers had been operating under "a direct chain of military command" from Belgrade and the Serbian President, Slobodan Milosevic. For the first time, the Tribunal defined the Bosnian war as "an international conflict," recognizing both Bosnian independence and Serbian aggression . As yet, however, Milosevic remains unindicted for the atrocities he directed in Bosnia.
The United Nations must shoulder a large share of responsibility for allowing the massacre to take place under the noses of its troops. In November 1999, the UN released a highly self-critical report on its performance, stating that "Through error, misjudgment and the inability to recognize the scope of evil confronting us, we failed to do our part to save the people of Srebrenica from the Serb campaign of mass murder." (See Barbara Crossette, "U.N. Details Its Failure to Stop '95 Bosnian Massacre", The New York Times, November 16 1999.)
The blame surely extends to the member states of the United Nations — perhaps especially to its most powerful member, the United States. As The Economist magazine has noted,
The received version [of events] … is that Bill Clinton and Al Gore vowed to "bomb the Serbs" and end the war when they were shocked to learn that thousands of Muslims had been massacred at Srebrenica. But, the reader cannot help asking, was news of this impending massacre — the worst in Europe since 1945 — really not available to America's two most powerful figures beforehand? At earlier stages in Bosnia's war, when Muslim strongholds like Gorazde or Bihac had been on the verge of falling, America had worked (without the promise of ground troops) to galvanise its allies — insisting that battle-plans be drawn up, and threats of bombing be issued, so as to warn off the Serbs. Yet in the final days and hours of the advance on Srebrenica, which American intelligence could monitor closely, Washington fell strangely silent. Srebrenica duly fell, with consequences which were unspeakable in human terms, but not inconvenient diplomatically.
Perhaps it is conspiratorial to assume that America's tardy reaction to Srebrenica reflected calculation rather than negligence. But the question needs asking … ("Inside Out," The Economist, September 8, 2001).
The aftermath
Extensive forensic investigations of the Srebrenica massacre sites has so far turned up some 3,000 bodies. Only a few have been successfully identified. They are held at a combined memorial and mortuary in Tuzla (see photo at the top of this page). The forensics teams who worked on the Srebrenica and Vukovar sites gathered vital experience in their exhumation of the graves, and were able to employ their skills anew in the Kosovo gendercide four years later. (See Stover and Peress, The Graves: Srebrenica and Vukovar.)
The memory of Srebrenica's men was kept alive by their womenfolk. They stormed Red Cross offices in Tuzla in early 1996 to protest the stalled investigations into the fate of their missing men, and did so again on the fourth anniversary of the massacre in 1999. Organized as "The Women of Srebrenica," they have recently launched their own website (www.srebrenica.org). The group's list of primary demands reads as follows:
- The full facts of Srebrenica should be revealed and publicised.
- All graves should be exhumed and bodies identified without delay.
- Any survivors of Srebrenica held prisoner in Republika Srpska [Bosnian Serb territories] or the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia should be released immediately.
- The people of Srebrenica should be enabled to return to their homes.
- There should be a full & open international investigation into the failure of the UN to protect the Safe Area of Srebrenica.
- All indicted and suspected war criminals, including Radovan Karadzic, Ratko Mladic and Slobodan Milosevic, and all those complicit with genocide, should be arrested and brought to trial.
In Spring 2000, General Radislav Krstic, "the highest-ranking Bosnian Serb commander before the UN War Crimes tribunal in The Hague," stood trial for the genocidal atrocities at Srebrenica. (See "Peacekeeper Tells of Serb Massacre", The Sydney Morning Herald, April 8, 2000.) In August 2001, Krstic was convicted and sentenced to 46 years in prison.
In March 2003, the first 600 identified victims of the Srebrenica massacre were returned to the town and buried in a powerful ceremony (see "Srebrenica Finally Buries Its Dead", BBC Online, March 31, 2003.)

Ashgrove Pedigree Herefords
In 2002 we established our own herd of Pedigree Horned Hereford cattle, a local breed native to the county, which thrives on our long-established rich pasture.
Unlike imported continental breeds, we do not need to provide extra feed, and so the diet of our herd is only supplemented in winter by hay from our own fields. Traditional managed in this way, Hereford cattle produce the finest beef for which 'Olde England' was justifiably famous.
Our herd has been founded on Westwood bloodlines, and we would like to thank Clive Davis for all his help and advice. Our Westwood foundation cows are supplemented by Longville heifers and we look forward to a 2006 crop of calves sired by Longville Waratah. Currently we have for sale strong, dark, well marked young bulls by the very successful sire Dieulacresse Ralph, seen in the top picture who also features on the label of our Orchard Bull bottled cider. Group reared at grass these young bulls have good confirmation and temperament and offer an excellent prospect as future herd sires.
In 2005 we started showing the best animals in our herd, and we were delighted to make a prize-winning start in a debut year. The highlight was 2nd prize at the National Horded Hereford Cattle show for our bull, Ashgrove Arthur.
Visitors are always welcome to view our herd and sample our range of traditional ciders !

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) - Evidence that the Fed could soon end its cycle of interest-rate hikes propelled markets forward from Wall Street to Europe Wednesday, lifting Europe shares listed in the U.S. higher for second consecutive day.
The Bank of New York Europe American Depositary Receipt Index was last up 1.46 points, or 1%, to 139.55. The overall Composite Index advanced 1.42 points, or 1%, to 140.06.
Earlier, the German DAX 30 ended up 1.2% at 5,523, the French CAC 40 index added 1.3% to 4,838 and the U.K. FTSE 100 index climbed 0.6% at 5,714. See Europe Markets. See London Markets
Among the index's volume leaders, Nokia NOK, -2.72% shares rose as much as 2.1% to $19.12. Elan ELN, +0.00% shares added as much as 2.8% to $14.41. Shares of ASML Holding ASML, -3.90%, a Dutch maker of semiconductors, climbed as much as 1.4% to $20.77.
Oil and gas shares lagged the broader index's performance after a pair of downgrades. Shares of French refiner Total TOT, -2.77% and BP BP, -1.81% rose 0.2% and 0.7%, respectively, after Morgan Stanley cut its ratings on the companies to underweight from equal weight.
Morgan Stanley said the oil heavyweights should underperform the industry this year.
Shares of Norwegian refiners outpaced the oil sector's limp gains. Norwegian gas was delivered at nearly record high volumes during the recent natural gas dispute between Russia and the Ukraine, said Citigroup in a research note.
However, those levels should return to normal since an agreement between the two formerly Soviet states ended the dispute.
Statoil STO, -7.41% shares advanced as much as 2.3% to $24.68. Norsk Hydro NHY, +0.00% shares grew 1.7% to $109.80.

Remember when I was having trouble with a horrible buzzing sound on the other end of calls from our 2012 Honda CR-V? We got it fixed. And it wasn't a software glitch, electronic interference, or anything else they tried to blame.
I recently updated the Google app on my iPhone and I have to say… Google Now is pretty cool. Cool enough that it's now sitting in my launch bar. That being said, I've discovered an annoying bug with respect to Bluetooth integration.
Over the past week, I've had three people tell me that they're hearing a horrendous buzzing sound when I talk to the over the Bluetooth connection on my 2012 Honda CR-V. This after six months of flawless performance. Perplexed, I investigated.
As a followup to my article about installing a roof rack on a Honda Odyssey, I wanted to address a question that I received via e-mail: How long does the installation take? Sure, you can save a ton, but is it worth the time invested?
I recently installed a cargo rack (roof rails + cross bars) on our 2012 Honda Odyssey. I thought about having it done at the dealer, but their price was ridiculous. Thus, I decided to do it myself. What follows are some notes on the installation.
In the past month, we've bought two new vehicles — a Honda Odyssey EX and a Honda CR-V EX. As we always do when we get a new vehicle, we also bought custom floor mats to protect the carpet from our four kids.
As I've noted previously, I recently bought a new 2012 Honda CR-V EX with 2WD. This vehicle is rated for 23 mpg in the city and 31 mpg on the highway, and I've been very pleased with its real-world performance.
Having just bought a 2012 Honda CR-V, I wanted to share a tidbit that I first discovered on the test drive… This vehicle now sports an "expanded-view" driver's side mirror which is actually kind of annoying.

text: I had an amazing time at RTMS!!! I gained so many friendships. I got to meet so many new people and teachers. I feel as if I've gained a lot of knowledge, not only academically but also socially. I feel as if I'm a whole different person now, and I'm a lot more mature compared to what I was when I started. Of course, I faced some hardships as well and I lost a few friendships. I had some bad experiences and some fights. But everything always worked out in the end. I'm so happy to have been at RTMS. It's an amazing school and I will definitely miss the times here.

It is sunny; in creeps the night
To create the time, we call Twilight.
A time to reflect upon events today,
Some we will remember, most go away.
Posted by MFish
It is sunny; in creeps the night
More by MFish
I was looking at her.
She looked my way.
I know not her name
Or if she wanted to play.
I loved her brown eyes
On this clear sunny day.
I walked over to talk
And ask of her name.
Would you go for a walk?
Would that be too lame?
A romantic interlude?
Oh I think not,
For our rendezvous
Was a grassy lot.
I rubbed behind her ear;
She liked it, I thought.
I patted her back,
It was so soft and dear.
I looked at her face
And her sad, lonely eyes
Knowing at a glance,
There was no reprise.
I loved this small dog,
For this did endear,
A love of this girl
Who was meant for me.
Playing soccer, many years ago.
I received a pass and off I'd go.
Dribbling the ball, I planted my foot;
Turning my body, my right foot in the air,
going to pass the ball downfield to my
mate, when I was hit in the back
by a defender, who was late.
My right foot was coming down,
the toe hit the ground; I heard a "SNAP",
fell to the ground and probably said "Crap".
I hobbled off the field to the sidelines again,
sat down with a number of friends.
My right foot was hurting, I unlaced my shoe
and the sock on that foot started to swell.
It puffed up and hurt real bad,
so some of the boys, helped me to my car.
An automatic, helped me a lot
and I drove home, staying in the car.
I honked the horn, my wife came to see
why I was honking. I said I think I broke
my leg. Our neighbor was an Orthopedic Doc.
My wife went and talked to Dr Bill. He came
to the car. He drove me to his office
and put me in a U shaped cast to allow
room for the swelling. He gave me a prescription;
we went to the drugstore and got some crutches.
There is more to tell about this adventure of mine
but I will wait until another time.
Playing with my Cousins,
in our Grandfather's yard.
Running fast, on bare feet,
for it was our thing,
Then I stepped on something.
Ouch! A Bee sting.
Down to the creek; mix up some mud.
Put it on the sting in a big gob.
Laying in the Sun, the mud baking hard.
That was just another day in the yard.
Go back to the creek, wash off the dirt,
test out your foot, it no longer hurt.

Transfer Window: January Shopping list for Europe's Top Clubs
Liverpool's £75 million ($100 million) splurge on Southampton's Virgil van Dijk indicated that the English Premier League will again be where most money is spent in the January transfer window.
Philippe Coutinho (Reuters)
Paris: Liverpool's £75 million ($100 million) splurge on Southampton's Virgil van Dijk indicated that the English Premier League will again be where most money is spent in the January transfer window.
But some of Europe's top clubs will be active this month looking to strengthen their squads for the run-in. AFP Sport looks at what to expect in the continent's biggest leagues after the window opened on Monday.
Spain: Kepa set for Madrid
La Liga leaders Barcelona could say they already have their big January signing with Ousmane Dembele close to a return having injured himself shortly after his big-money move from Borussia Dortmund at the start of the season.
That will not stop speculation that the Catalans will go back in for Liverpool's Philippe Coutinho after failing in their bid to sign the Brazilian in the summer. But strengthening at the back might be of more immediate importance with Javier Mascherano set to depart. A move for the giant Colombian Yerry Mina of Palmeiras could be completed imminently.
Atletico Madrid can finally register new players with a FIFA-imposed ban now having ended. That means Diego Costa and Vitolo can make their debuts after agreeing deals to move to the Wanda Metropolitano from Chelsea and Sevilla respectively in the summer.
Real Madrid are likely to make moves too. But if there is to be only one signing it should be that of Kepa Arrizabalaga, the Athletic Bilbao and Spain goalkeeper. The 23-year-old's contract expires in June, but Madrid could pay his 20 million-euro buyout clause to get him now.
Italy: Sales at Milan?
Juventus could splash some cash as they chase league leaders Napoli and they have been linked with a move for Liverpool's Germany midfielder Emre Can. "We know that he is a good player and a good opportunity but nothing more," Juve CEO Beppe Marotta told Premium Sport on Saturday.
Already out of the Champions League, Napoli are desperate to win a first Serie A title since 1990. They want to reinforce their attack this month, and have been linked with a 25 million-euro move for the Bologna striker Simone Verdi.
There could be sales at AC Milan, who are in financial difficulty and struggling in mid-table. Most headlines, though, currently surround the future of goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who has been linked with a move away but said on Saturday that he was "happy" at San Siro.
The window in Italy opens on Wednesday.
Germany: Goretzka Bayern-bound
Bayern Munich are on course for another Bundesliga title. They are top, 11 points clear of Schalke, at the season's halfway stage. And they are set to add insult to injury for their rivals by making a move for Schalke star Leon Goretzka. The 22-year-old German international is out of contract at the end of the season and Sport Bild reported on Sunday that he would sign a pre-contract agreement this month to move to Bavaria in the summer.
There is likely to be movement at Borussia Dortmund, with Andre Schuerrle being linked with West Ham United. They will also have to deal with inevitable speculation as to the future of star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who is under contract until 2021.
France: PSG to trim squad
There will almost certainly be departures from Paris Saint-Germain as they look to raise funds to comply with financial fair play. Javier Pastore is reportedly keen to leave to boost his chances of making the Argentina squad for the World Cup and could be Italy-bound. The out-of-favour Lucas Moura will depart too, while PSG are also hoping to bring in a midfielder, although they look to have missed out on the Brazilian Wendel, who is set to join Sporting Lisbon from Fluminense.
Elsewhere, Monaco will trim their squad, and English clubs could come back in for Thomas Lemar, the target of huge bids from Liverpool and Arsenal in the summer.

We went to the Peabody Essex Museum first and were all so enthralled that the witches will just have to wait for another day. If you know Charlotte, you know that missing witches is a big deal, so I was pretty thrilled.
Charlotte wanted most of all to explore the Maritime Art collection. She was mesmerized by paintings of boats on the ocean, pictures of pirates, and questions of attribution. Charlotte has been learning about perspective and volume in art class this year, and especially the notion of making things look real. She was particularly impressed by this painting:
Thomas M. Hoyne, New Ways on Banquereau, 1981, Peabody Essex Museum
MassPoetry was sponsoring its fourth festival of poetry in honor of National Poetry Month. We were mesmerized by the poetry performance of David Zucker. You can read more about that performance over at Culture Bean. Here I want to share Charlotte's enthusiasm for the performance in the pictures Philippe snapped and in her haiku inspired, on the spot, by Zucker's performance of haikus:
A Haiku by Charlotte
I love summer its
so fun! You get to play out-
side. I see fairies!
It may be the last day of National Poetry Month, but it certainly isn't the last day to enjoy poetry. We'll be reading more and more of it.

Microsoft Corp. said on Thursday it may offer a free, advertising-supported version of its basic word processing and spreadsheet software, in an apparent bid to fend off a nascent challenge from Google Inc. in the business software market.
Microsoft, which dominates the market for desktop computer software through its Windows and Office franchises, has long resisted offering its software online.
But it faces a growing pack of web-based competitors -- led by Google -- that is offering similar technology for free with a business model that makes money off advertising.
The world's largest software maker is now mulling how it can move Microsoft Works, a basic suite of business software that often comes preloaded on inexpensive consumer PCs, onto the web as part of its growing stable of free online services.
Microsoft continues to roll out new online services under the Windows Live brand and it started testing Office Live, a software for small businesses to create email accounts, websites and collaborate on projects.
Alan Yates, general manager of Microsoft Information Worker Business Strategy, said the company will consider many options to woo entry-level users.
"We're also thinking about how we might take advantage of new business models like advertising and other payment models, as well as new forms of distribution," said Yates.
Revenue from software licenses for Office and the Windows operating system accounts for a bulk of Microsoft revenues.
The challenge for Microsoft will be to make sure a free or, possibly, a subscription-supported version of Works won't hurt sales of its dominant Office software, which accounted for a quarter of the company's $44 billion in sales last year.
Microsoft expects its new version of Office, due out in early 2007, to spur another round of demand. Office includes Outlook email, PowerPoint presentation software, Excel spreadsheets and Microsoft Word.
Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft sells the latest version of Works, which includes a calendar, word processor, spreadsheets, Web Browser and e-mail, for $50.
Last month, Google said it created a free software platform to run a set of business software programs including e-mail, scheduling and communications. A paid, premium version will be available later this year with an ad-free option.
At the time, Google also said its online spreadsheet and word processing software were candidates for bundling into its business software platform.
Google acquired word processing website Writely.com in March and began testing Google Spreadsheets, which allows users to create, store and share spreadsheets on the Internet, in June.

Where will Elvis take us next??

>…on the magical mystery tour?…hee heexxpinks
>Thanks for the comments so far:) Corky, was it a Doors song?? ;)Angela, the year was 1955. Elvis was only 20 years old when he recorded this track… And, Lora, I WISH I had gotten to see Elvis perform… I DO remember watching a lot of his movies at my Grandma's house when I was a kid, though. She LOVED him, and I can see why=;)
>That is so weird that you picked Elvis. I've had this whole Elvis strangeness going on around me lately. I even said something about it in my post yesterday. I saw Elvis in concert when I was about 9 or 10. I've been to a few concerts in my day but nobody is like him. When he started singing it was like he cast a spell. My proof is that my mother screamed like a school girl when he sang her favorite song. Be safe…
>This is gonna be a fun ride!
>Great job! Elvis sounds younger in this one. Do you know what year it was?
>My husband is singing all day long Doors songs!
>I thought about you as I was walking through the pouring rain back to my car from work. Can you guess what song was going through my head?

{The kind folks at GroVia/The Natural Baby Company provided me with this AIO Diaper and a Magic Stick, however all thoughts and opinions in this review are honest and my own}
I was extremely excited to have the chance to try out the GroVia AIO (all in one) & the GroVia Magic Stick. I have just recently found the love for AIOs after being a die hard pocket lover with DD#1. I have to admit I was a bit intimidated by the side snaps (like many) but once you get used to them after a few times they are just like any other diaper. I actually like the side snaps now as they make the front of the diaper so much less bulky and better fitting under clothes! I truly liked this diaper a lot for many different reasons so here we go:

Stone details, traditional terracotta barrel-shaped roofing, and wrought-iron balconies add to the home's ageless quality. Hand-hewn beams, antique fireplaces from Europe and reclaimed stone floors complete the timelessness of this multi-generational home.

my plane song
Im back in the UK after a truely inspiring tour around South America which i think just might be my favorite continent. Obviously it was hot over there, t-shirts vest and shorts my main day wear for the past 10 days….hot as well were the men, oh if only i'd dipped my biscuit in the wonder of it all. How fitting then that this song came on my ipod en route home and stayed there on loop whilst i snoozed sandwiched between Russian holiday makers on an Air France flight back to winter….
subgrave sauna!
Little sneaky peak at want went on in the sweat box also known as K Club in Sao Paulo, seriously it was the hottest i've ever been on stage….dont let the fan fool you it was spitting out hot air, next time i suggest a pool party in bikinis and obviously without the pool!!!!! Big shouts to the crowd who were amazing and of course, DJ Andy for getting me over there and showing me the real Sao Paulo and all the Subgrave crew, cant wait to come back

Colors of the Southwest
Posted by limedragon | Filed under knitting, yarn stash
Recently, my mom traveled to Tucson on a business trip. She stopped in at Purls East (Knitter's Review article) on her last day and got me a couple things in great desert colors.
The 3 skeins on the left are Brown Sheep Handpaint Originals, and the cotton is Peaches and Creme in Painted Desert. Maybe I should knit an Arizona washcloth?
Interestingly, the Brown Sheep colorway is named "New England Fall" which I find amusing. These oranges, browns, and greens seem more Southwest than New England to me. Perhaps I'm influenced by the rustic appearance of the yarn (70% mohair)—it reminds me of Navajo rugs. Thanks, Mom; these will be perfect for mittens.
Coming tomorrow, a sock post!

That's the kind of yarn I like to rub on my nose before I buy it. I love the soft appearance.
Kelly Says:

I guess I see some New England fall in there. I do think the blue throws it off a bit!
Tracey Says:
May 24th, 2007 at 12:00 pm
Um yeah, that's not New England colors at all. Definitely south west influence. Someone's confused…but very pretty!

That yarn doesn't make me think of New England at all. Not even in the fall. Like Kelly, the blue really throws me off and makes me think of something more Southwest. It's beautiful nonetheless!

Definitely a Southwestern dishcloth! Shaped like Arizona, of course. ;)

Huh. I'd think of all brown dust shades with a spot of dingy green now and again (for the southwest, I mean). Now, the sunsets are beautiful – but those aren't the right colors for that either. Great colors, though! And I'm going to go check out Purls East now – never been there (what's wrong with me?!).

Drogyn's suggestion would work too, but it's not quite as clean.
However, Russell's example might not work for you because, when your variable is an element of an array, you need to concatinate it like this:
<?php echo "User"; ...note that the variable is inside of ". and ." Or you can put the variable in {} like: echo "User"; But the way Russel showed you would work if you were using a simple variable like: echo "User";
<?php echo "Read more..."; OR <a href="template.php?aid=<?php echo $aid; ?>">Read more...

5 Shoe Trends For Spring
From comfy to a bit off-beat, we've found 5 styles of shoes we love this spring!
From comfy to a bit off-beat, we've found 5 styles of shoes we love this spring!
With spring's official arrival, we are now focusing on the best ways to transition our skin from the dryness of winter to the lushness of spring.
We cannot think of a better way to welcome spring than to share the quintessential motif of the season: modern florals!
A thorough regime of skincare from Dr. Dennis Gross helps Editor Stephanie Duncan combat holiday stress and extreme weather changes.
We have found comfort and support we never knew was possible in the impeccable fit of ThirdLove bras.
Backless or fitted with ankle straps, simple or topped with tassles, these are our favorite casual-chic shoes to wear right now.
We scoured the web to compile a guide to this season's new looks in everyone's favorite classic textile: denim. Check out the top cuts that range from boot-cut to straight-leg to turtlenecks and more.
We asked two Clementine staffers, both with access to off the grid locations, to tell us how they get centered and prepped for winter while exploring (and working) the farmlands they love. First up, Social Media Manager, Taylor Meadows.

The phenomenon known as hypnosis has existed since the beginning of recorded history, and in recent years has become accepted as part of our everyday healthcare, although it still has some of that strange and mysterious air about it.
There are many misconceptions surrounding hypnosis. One common belief is that some people cannot be hypnotised – however we all go into hypnosis many times each day – whilst driving or watching television for instance. Anyone can be hypnotised providing they are motivated and have a positive attitude towards hypnosis.
Many people worry about losing control or "blurting out" secrets. This is probably the biggest worry – and the biggest misconception! Whilst in hypnosis you will experience extreme relaxation, but will remain conscious of your surroundings and in full control of your own actions and speech. Research has proved that a person cannot be made to do anything that is outside their own moral code or against their own nature whilst in hypnosis.
Modern clinical hypnosis can provide relief from an amazing range of problems – even long term worries or chronic pain. It has the power to aid positive change and unleash your untapped resources to enable you to go for what you want!
Just a few of the issues that can be helped using hypnotherapy:

Your hosting company will need to provide either a SAS70 or Systrust certification. If they don't have one, discuss the situation with your auditors. The auditors advice may be non-specific, but essentially tell you that your hosting environment is under scrutiny for lack of controls. You, as the owner of the data, will need to show how you control your data, and that necessary mitigating controls are in place to handle the lack of procedures at your hosting center. It's a bit of extra work to do so, but the cost/benefit is basically around:
cost of datacenter with SAS70/Systrust vs. cost of you writing the docs and staying where you are at. An oversimplification is to choose whichever is cheaper and less disruptive to your business.

text: First civil union registered on Friday Malta Independent Tuesday, 17 June 2014, 09:15 Last update: about 7 years ago Kristina Galea Cavallazzi and Clara Borg became the first gay couple to register their union last Friday. In a poignant ceremony held in Gozo, Kristina and Clara vowed mutual respect and pledged to take care of each other as a married couple in the presence of family and friends. The civil union rites were exchanged in Mgarr ix-Xini followed by a reception at Ta' Cenc Hotel. On her Facebook page, Kristina shared her joy of her union with Clara, daughter of former European Commissioner Joe Borg. When President Marie Louise Coleiro Preca signed the bill into law in mid-April, The Malta Independent had reported that the first civil unions were expected in mid-June. Once all the relevant legal notices were published, gay couples started to apply for their civil unions and banns were later published, just like what happens in a marriage between heterosexual couples. Banns have to be published at least six weeks prior to the ceremony. Once a couple formally applies for civil union, a procedure starts with the banns being published. In the case of Maltese citizens, only ID Cards of both partners are required. As regards foreigners, a birth certificate and a free status certificate is required. These both have to be legalized. The couple has to wait for a period of six weeks from the publication of banns.

Room 101 is a weekly feature here on Random Thoughts Of a Twenty Something. The concept of Room 101 was first coined by writer George Orwell who penned the idea of a torture room in his novel Nineteen Eighty-Four which reputedly contained "the worst thing in the world". The idea of the Room 101 has later been developed into a place in which you would want to lock away your every day annoyances or phobias by the popular BBC programme of the same name. Every Sunday I will be sharing something with you that I want to put into the Random Thoughts Of A Twenty Something Room 101.
Last week I shared with you why I wanted to hide away escalators from the world but this week I want to share my thoughts on something more frustrating than scary.
A cancelled TV series.
We live in a time when binge watching television programmes and box sets has become the norm for most households. Television allows us to see things we would never otherwise see and can allow us to immerse ourselves in alternate realities so we don't worry about our own lives. We have all been there though when it comes to finding a TV show that we really enjoy or starting a box set that has the power to prevent us from being able to turn the screen off even though we are desperate for sleep. Just one more episode we tell ourselves. But then that one more episode doesn't exist or that new series never arrives! Our favourite sy-fy show has been cancelled and all our beloved characters have been left on permanent cliffhanger storylines or our education has been stopped in it's tracks when our most craved for documentary series has it's funding cut meaning it won't be returning to our screens again.
It's so blumming frustrating to get caught up in a series only for it to unexpectedly come to an abrupt ending and our questions about the shows are never to be answered!
So that is my argument for why I am putting cancelled TV series' into the Random Thoughts Of A Twenty Something Room 101; what do you think would you put it in too?

For a Generation, Kobe Was 'Our Michael Jordan' →
Shaun Powell writing for NBA.com:
Kobe Bryant is now 37 and ready for retirement, and plenty has been said about Kobe in the two decades in between. He even summed up his profile in a pre-packaged, marketable two-word assessment: "Hero/Villain." Feel free to choose your side, or accept both. What is undeniable, though, is how he elevated himself a notch above the many great players in this aspect: Only a select handful managed to cast a spell over an entire generation.
I won't miss the arrogance and selfishness. I will miss those moments where he did the impossible, close a game like no one else could. An era in basketball has ended.

Hennessey Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
Hennessey Performance has announced their range of upgrades for the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1. Hennessey's Camaro ZL1 is available in four versions: HPE650, developing 658 bhp at 6,200 rpm, HPE700 with 707 bhp at 6,300 rpm, and HPE800 with 800 bhp at 6,200 rpm.
The top of the range Hennessey Camaro ZL1 is the HPE1000, which outputs no less than 1,021 bhp at 6,400 rpm. Take that Veyron! The HPE1000 is powered by a 427 cid LSX engine, featuring forged crank, pistons and rods, as well as other modifications. The Hennessey Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 HPE1000 also features an upgraded fuel system, twin ball bearing turbochargers, dual wastegates and an electronic boost controller. An air-to-air intercooler and a high-flow K&N air filter are also required. The standard transmission of the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 can not take the 1,000 hp of the HPE1000, so Hennessey has to replace the original clutch with a Centerforce Dual Friction one.
Apart from the incredible power increase, Hennessey's HPE1000 package for the ZL1 also includes various badges and serial-numbered plaques on the dashboard and engine. The HPE1000 kit for the Chevy Camaro ZL1 comes with professional installation, engine calibration, and a 1 Year / 12,000 Mile Limited Warranty.
Hennessey did not disclose the price of their HPE1000 upgrade for the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1.

It's a Z-thing: dressing up while playing in the house.
"You'll never know what I'm gonna do next."
There's another new playground inaugurated last April 19, 2015, here in Milan, Italy. I guess it's not really just for the kids, but for adults as well. There are two great "murales" painted by the writer/artist Millo (Francesco Camillo Giorgino). The place is called "Giardino delle Culture", located at Via Morosini corner Bezzeca, Milan. It's not that far from the city center. Maybe around 10 minutes by bus or tram.
Opening Hours:
October 1 to March 31
10am to 5pm
April 1 to September 30

Kitsuné - Baseball and Reebok Classics collab
Never far from exciting ventures that span the realm of fashion, art and music, Kitsune continues its global invasion — following recent outposts in Hong Kong and New York. The brand's latest venture sees a follow-up from its Parisian-inspired Reebok Classics collaboration, unveiled in February. Teaming up again with the longstanding sporting imprint for 2015 fall/winter, the two brands worked up a capsule collection inspired by baseball. We recently traveled to Tokyo to catch up with Kitsune co-founder Masaya Kuroki, who shares with us his love for coffee, and further explains how this affinity contributes to the brand's overarching aesthetics in the often ambiguous realm of "lifestyle." He also lets us in on how the Reebok Classic collaboration came to fruition and sheds light on his Japanese heritage.

Metallothioneins have a high content of cysteine residues that bind various heavy metals\; these proteins are transcriptionally regulated by both heavy metals and glucocorticoids.. 再加上,我们可以发Metallothionein 1E 抗体 (30) 和 Metallothionein 1E 蛋白 (7)和数多这个蛋白质的别的产品。
Showing 2 out of 6 products:
In clear cell renal cell carcinoma (RCC) MT1E, MT1G and MT1M expression was higher than that noted in other histological tumor subtypes (all P<0.0500). In addition, some associations were observed between metabolic syndromerelated clinical parameters and promoter methylation or gene expression
Forced MT1E expression rescues both hypersensitivity of CDKAL1 mutant cells to glycolipotoxicity and pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction in vitro and in vivo.
MT1E can enhance the migration and invasion of human glioma cells by inducing MMP-9 inactivation via the upregulation of NF-kappaB p50.
Our results reveal that menopause influences the adipose tissue expression of many genes, especially of neurexin 3, metallothionein 1E, and keratyn 7, which are associated with the alteration of several key biological processes.
MT1E is a potential tumour suppressor gene, whose loss may promote resistance to apoptosis-inducing therapies.
Increases in MT gene expression and intracellular zinc levels may contribute directly to maintenance of an immune-activated monocyte by mediating an increased resistance to apoptosis during active HIV-1 viremia.
Eight MT genes were up-regulated after treatment of T-ALL cells with 0.15 and 1.5 microg/mL of metal ores. Heavy metal ion transporter activity.
analysis identified genes known to be associated with cell invasion such as versican, and novel ones, including metallothionein 1E (MT1E) and nicotinamide N-methyltransferase (NNMT)
High frequency of hypermethylation of MT-1E was found in endometrial carcinomas.

The PhD Council offers PhD scholarships within educational research that focus on the Danish primary and lower secondary school system. The PhD projects must concentrate on practice-relevant research, with the goal of improving learning outcomes for all pupils. The applicants must be able, both during their studies and subsequently, to teach at university colleges and to engage in research and development in the educational field. It is important to ensure a close coupling with practice and the PhD projects must therefore be conducted as a collaboration between at least one university and one university college.
You will find the call, guide for applicants and budget template to the right (under Important Documents).
The overall objective of the PhD in Educational Research is to improve the learning outcome of all students in primary and lower secondary school and, in this way, their prerequisites for further education and employment. An improved learning outcome of the primary and lower secondary school can e.g. be achieved by strengthening the subject-specific didactic knowledge and capacity and through increased educational and social-pedagogical competencies. The PhD projects may cover issues relating to subject-specific didactics as well as general didactic and educational topics. In 2019, the PhD council will take particular interest in applications within the didactics of specific subjects, literacy and Bildung, parental cooperation, assessment, tests and exams, segregation and inclusive learning environments, organization and leadership in relation to education as well as inter-professional collaborations. Applications in other areas will also be welcome.
The application is evaluated based on the following criteria:

Worthy Daily Devotional »
Take up your mantle!
When Elijah went up to to heaven, Elisha took up his mantle and walked in the power of Elijah. The Hebrew word for mantle is "aderet". It's root word is "adir", which means excellent, gallant, glorious, mighty, noble and worthy! Elijah was a man with these qualities. The mantle that Elisha received from Elijah meant a calling which was powerful. Elisha had earned it. When the two first met, Elisha had slaughtered the oxen he was plowing with, and burned them on the wood of their yoke as an offering. Then he followed and served the prophet until the day Elijah was taken miraculously to Heaven....continue reading this Christian devotional
