New research reveals that high concentrations of resveratrol — a compound that is found in red wine and chocolate — can stop poxviruses from multiplying in human cells.
Researchers working at Kansas State University in Manhattan as well as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) tested various concentrations of resveratrol in human cells infected with the vaccinia virus.
This is a close relative of the virus that causes smallpox and it also formed the vaccine that eradicated the deadly human disease.
At high concentrations, resveratrol stopped vaccinia from multiplying itself in the early phase of infection, thereby preventing the virus from spreading to other cells.
The concentrations of resveratrol that the researchers used were much higher than those that occur naturally in food.
The team also found that resveratrol had a similar effect on monkeypox, which is a deadly and contagious poxvirus that has caused outbreaks in Africa.
These two sets of results suggest that resveratrol "has a good chance of inhibiting all poxviruses," says first study author Dr. Shuai Cao, who researches resveratrol and its effect on viruses in the Division of Biology at Kansas State University.
The authors report their findings in the journal Frontiers in Microbiology.
Resveratrol has many biological properties
Resveratrol is a compound that occurs naturally in many strongly colored food plants — such as grapes, cocoa beans, blueberries, and peanuts — and has been found to have antioxidant, anticancer, antiviral, and hormonal properties.
Scientists' interest in resveratrol began in 1992, when researchers suggested that the reason that French people had relatively low levels of heart disease despite enjoying a diet high in saturated fat was because of their penchant for red wine.
Since that point, thousands of studies have examined the "French paradox" and resveratrol has become widely known as the "red wine compound."
However, evidence about the health benefits of resveratrol is also conflicting. For instance, a 2014 study of a large group of Italians found that a diet rich in resveratrol neither increased lifespan nor protected against cardiovascular disease and cancer.
Resveratrol stopped DNA replication
In the new study paper, the authors note that while we know that resveratrol can either aid or block "replication of a number of viruses," we know little about its effect on poxviruses.
However, it would be useful to have such knowledge because, even though smallpox has been eradicated, other poxviruses "continue to cause serious diseases," and some forms are being developed to carry vaccines and to treat cancer.
"In order for a poxvirus to infect a host," explains co-author Anil Pant, a doctoral student in biology at Kansas State University, "it has to first enter a cell and make a lot of copies of its genome inside the host cell."
Their study showed that resveratrol stops vaccinia virus from replicating its DNA and genome.
The authors note that resveratrol's ability to inhibit the virus is not related to vaccinia's N1 protein, which is a potential "binding target" for resveratrol.
"Further experiments," they add, "demonstrated that resveratrol had little effect on [vaccinia virus] early gene expression, while it suppressed [vaccinia virus] DNA synthesis, and subsequently post-replicative gene expression."
Resveratrol likely inhibits other poxviruses
Dr. Cao says that many poxviruses "infect many species" and have "similar mechanisms to replicate their DNA."
Therefore, since their experiments showed that resveratrol can stop vaccinia and monkeypox from replicating, "it should be able to inhibit other poxviruses as well," Dr. Cao adds.
Vaccinia virus, which has proven its value in the eradication of smallpox, is not only an ideal model for studying in the laboratory; it is also being used in the development of cancer treatments and those that fight other viruses.
The researchers suggest that their findings will "prompt further investigation" into the effects of resveratrol on other phases of virus replication and clarification of the mechanisms involved.
"Our research may be a stepping stone to using resveratrol as a complementary treatment for viruses during a time of growing concern over drug resistance."

Package manager
From MythTV Official Wiki
[1]A package management system is a collection of tools to automate the process of installing, upgrading, configuring, and removing software packages from a computer. In such a system, software is distributed in packages, usually encapsulated into a single file. As well as the software itself, packages often include other important information, such as the full name, a description of its purpose, the version number, vendor of the software, checksum information, and a list of other packages, known as dependencies, that are required for the software to run properly. This meta-information is typically entered into a local package database.

A Plea to all Mothers
One of the most important aspects of being a writer, especially of children's books, is that you have a responsibility to help develop young minds. But these young minds rarely have credit cards or suitably large enough allowances to buy books because, hey, you could get twelve packets of crisps or a six-pack of Coca Cola for the price of a paperback and who wouldn't want that sort of sugar rush on a Friday morning after a hard week of learning your times tables, right?
And even if they did have the money and were forced to spend it in a bookshop how are they to know which book will provide the moral, social and mental stimulation a young mind needs? What book provides the essential vitamins to make a brain grow?
I have no idea. Probably something by Phillip Pullman. Or Jackie Wilson. Or maybe Jackie Collins. I forget which.
My book ('Ash Mistry and the Savage Fortress' or just place, yet dynamic, THE SAVAGE FORTRESS in the US) has been out and so far Mumsnet haven't added it to their essential reading list. This needs correcting.
Now, mothers of the world, I feel your pain. Life's busy and the little ones are growing fast and your husband, bless him, is working all hours at the office and, well, your son isn't getting the attention that he needs, is he? Be honest. You try your best but you are, after all, not a MAN.
I know it's the 21st Century and David Beckham is a role model to millions, but what does a growing boy need? You may think you have it under control, but do you? Really? Please, take another look at your son as objectively as possible. But first tell him to put the cat back down, it's not meant to be swung around like that.
1. Is your son into hair products?
2. Does he have a sense of fashion?
3. Does he listen to Alex Clare?
4. Does he have female friends?
If you answred 'YES' to any of these then I'm afraid your son may be...SENSITIVE. Unless you do something IMMEDIATELY then it could be worse, he may become...AN EDWARD.
I know. You thought it couldn't happen to your child, but it could, oh so easily. Why is he listening to soopy love songs when he should be listening to the lamentation of the women and why is he busy with his hair when he should be busy crushing his enemies under his sandaled feet?
"But, Sarwat, what can I do to prevent my son from becoming... *choked sob* an... *another choked sob* an Edward?"
Well, all I can say is 'calm down, Dear', the answer is at hand. Now, my book have been out for a while and in a report earlier this week scientists have discovered children (including boys) are maturing at an earlier age than before. I'm sure by the time the research is complete they'll discover that reading Ash Mistry makes a boy MANLY.
Yes! There are eight year old boys who, on finishing my book, have woken up the next day to find they now have CHEST HAIR and BEARDS! An entire generation of boys could be saved from the ignomy of being EDWARDS, but only if they read the right book (which is mine, BTW, incase the subtext is too subtle).
Simply put, reading Ash Mistry and the Savage Fortress/The Savage Fortress will make your son MANLY. We'll have your child out in the woods wrestling large carnivores and engaging in scarification rituals by the end of the fifth chapter. Or your money back*.
Next week I'll be reporting why Parvati, a half-demon assassin, is the ideal role-model for eight-year old girls.
*Terms and Conditions apply. Obvs.

Old Navy makes current American fashion essentials accessible to every family. From day one, Old Navy was a revolution. We were something the world had never seen - fabulous, affordable fashion.

Festival 42: seven billion new trees!
The 42nd edition of the Festival of the Trees is now live at Via Negativa. The title refers to a new initiative by Nobel laureate and tree-planting guru Wangari Maathai, and tree-planting forms the leitmotif for this month's festival. I was gratified by the response to my somewhat pathetic pleading last month for more participation, and I hope we're able to continue this trend in the months to come. Please remember to blog, tweet, Facebook (is that a verb yet?), or otherwise link to this new edition… and no, I'm not saying that because I want the link-juice, honest! It's all about the trees, and reaching more people with our message of appreciation and reverence for trees and forests.

Little things: a man waiting for a tow truck on the side of the road; a teenager juggling projects, driving tests, and prom plans all in one weekend; a line stretching around the block in front of a movie theater on opening weekend. Big things: the fight for gay rights; the imbalance between the 1% and the 99%; the news that leaps off the front page or the computer screen, sometimes in real time. There is so much to draw on, and it doesn't have to be a big climactic moment at all. A teacher once told me there is drama in brushing your teeth, if you approach it in the right way. Learning to open our eyes and ears (and noses and all the rest) to the small stuff is all part of world building. I want my characters to walk through a concrete universe full of the results of others' actions, surrounded by the people who make that world what it is, reacting to their world as if they are physically breathing it in and out of their bodies. The question of detail may mean the difference between a story that tugs fitfully at your trouser leg and a story that grips you by both shoulders and stares you point blank in the eye.
Another little beauty is that detail work can make character building easy, because the world is an active participant in who that person is or isn't, who he or she becomes. Noticing what my characters notice has been very instructive.
Random writing exercise: Take a character you've written or are thinking about... and change the gender, just for a day. Rewrite scenes, write new scenes, introduce this character to their other-gender self over coffee. Make your character genderless, if you want. Discover how much this changes your perception of your character. Get to know your character better.

Curriculum Matters: January 11, 2015
Primary/ Extended Day
We are so grateful that we are going out to recess when it is 15 degrees or warmer. This would have been a week with no fresh air, but with the new policy we actually were able to run, play and have fun outside a few times. It has been a peaceful start to the New Year with smiles and fun stories of winter vacations.In the Science area we have been studying the human body and nutrition.Next week we will begin our study of the physical sciences, a real favorite. Children will explore magnetism, reflection, refraction, energy and weight. We will do experiments to discover what things sink and what floats, what is magnetic versus nonmagnetic, and states of matter.In Geography we are continuing to enjoy researching the animals of the Arctic Region and trying to imagine how it would feel to live on a land that is extremely cold with little light. Frankly it isn't hard to imagine right now in Ithaca. We also love walking on the line in penguin slippers, balancing an egg safely on the warm fur. The stories of how the mother and father penguin work together to raise their young is heart warming.

* Data are not seasonally adjusted.
Additional years of data can be found in the Excel download.
Why is this important?
Employment growth is a general indicator of a region's economic vibrancy. Region-wide averages of job growth, however, sometimes fail to identify specific challenges and problems because job growth does not occur evenly across industry sectors. Job growth is a coincident or lagging indicator of the state of the economy because workers are hired as and after the economy improves and are laid off as and after the economy deteriorates. In addition, not all sectors of the economy lose or gain employment at the same rate. Some industries are, by nature, more cyclical than others, some are countercyclical, and some recessions disproportionately affect certain populations or certain sectors (like the dot-com bust in 2001–2003).[i] In the past, the economies of both the Portland MSA and Oregon have been very cyclical. Attracting and growing diverse sectors can stabilize the economy,[ii] and targeted investments in education and training can help prepare the public to enter growing employment sectors.[iii]

Rocky Mountain Helicopter Wedding
Vanessa and Nathan's wedding day was one of the most amazing experiences we have been a part of, with their wedding ceremony at the Mount Robson amphitheatre (360 degree mountain views!), reception at the Tete Jaune Hall, and a helicopter trip to Mount Terry Fox for their wedding portraits at the top of the Rocky Mountains.
The girls were getting ready at the Glacier Inn near Tete Jaune, with lots of laughs and happy moments throughout the morning. Shauna even got to share her love of vintage jewellery with Vanessa and her bridesmaids, as many of them had beautiful heirloom antique rings that Shauna was more than happy to take photos of for them.
Meanwhile, the guys were getting ready at the Valemount Retreat, but not before heading out to Mount Robson to put up the wedding signs to help make sure the guests could find the ceremony location at the Robson Shadows Amphitheatre. There was low lying clouds on the day of the wedding, so Mount Robson wasn't visible in the background, but it didn't take away from a truly amazing location with mountain views in all directions.
After their wedding ceremony we headed down the hill to the Fraser River for some bridal party photos which was a beautiful clear mountain green-blue – a fantastic backdrop for some wedding photos. From there it was a quick trip back to Valemount where we met our pilot at the Robson Helimagic helicopter base for the flight up to the top of Mount Terry Fox. It had snowed a few days before and while it had melted down along the highway there was still snow on the ground at our photo location, which only added to the beauty of it all. Other than the wind it was completely silent up there, and with views in all directions it was definitely one of the most amazing experiences we have been a part of. We all took a moment at the end to soak it all in before heading back down.
By this time all the guests had arrived at the Tete Jaune Hall for the wedding reception, and were waiting outside for the grand helicopter entrance as we descended upon the hall. From there it was time for dinner, and then on to the wedding speeches which involved a number of heartfelt moments during speeches along with a very entertaining freestyle rap from the bride's sisters. Before we knew it the dancing began and everyone had a great time dancing the night away. Here are some of our favourite photos from a truly fantastic wedding day. Thank you so much to Vanessa & Nathan for having us there to be a part of your day!

We all have a voice but seldom can we come together to sing in harmony. The BCC makes this possible literally and figuratively from as early as age 7 and continuing throughout high-school.
From over 100 zip codes in the greater Boston area, this group of 450 young singers meet each week to learn, rehearse and perform under the guidance of artistic director Anthony Trecek-King and executive producer Ben Hires.
This is part two of our conversation as we invited some of the young singers to the conversation and got their thoughts on the wonderful experiences they've had with The Boston Children's Chorus.
As Dr. Martin Luther King day approaches, the BCC not only prepares for their concert in Symphony Hall, they reflect on his legacy and the everyday impact of his message on their own lives and the city of Boston.
Song List:
Song 1: Pride (In the Name of Love)
Song 2: I Will Sing

We sat with Lisa Rodio, Tim Steiner and Fraser Gordon at their rehearsal space in the north of London and discussed why they do what they do and what we can expect from them in the near future.
When you mix musical melodies and rhythm with movement and communication, a dose of humor and shared emotion, the result can be nothing short of magic.
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, based in London, has been able to make this possible through the work of professional classical musicians along with music scholars, educators, therapists and healthcare providers.
They created this experience with amazing programs like Strokestra, and The Irene Taylor Trust 'Music in Prisons' through The Lullaby Project.
RPO continues to provide these special experiences to groups around the UK and beyond, as well as to schools with children with disabilities, centers for autism and more.
Check out our website for more information on both of these projects.

We made a trip up to Burlington, VT and ventured to the home of Ryan Miller, the Accidental Ambassador of the great state of VT.
Maybe you ran into Ryan in an apple orchard in Vermont, or possibly downtown Burlington. Perhaps you've heard him on the radio as lead singer and guitarist in the acclaimed group Guster.
Ryan has built a career in scoring for film and also hosts a PBS TV show aptly called Makin' Friends with Ryan Miller, where he travels the state of Vermont speaking with "high functioning weirdos."
We discovered that Ryan is a creative force in many ways when he kindly invited us to his home for a great conversation.
In this episode we include new songs from his upcoming film scores that are pretty amazing. See song list below:
Song one: Moving In - Tig soundtrack
Song two: One Man Wrecking Machine - Guster
Song three: Road Trip - The Fundamentals of Caring soundtrack
Song four: Goodbyes - Tig soundtrack
Song five: This Is The Only Time We Have - The Fundamentals of Caring soundtrack

Grammy nominated Folk and Americana singer-songwriter Alastair Moock became inspired by music at a young age when he first saw Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie in concert and has passed on that inspiration in his music and his educational programs in local schools.
He is a solo artist that speaks a language we can all relate to, whether age 5 or 95, and he is a quintessential collaborator with fellow singer-songwriters in the studio and on the stage.
We sat with Alastair to talk about his career transformation from adult folk to family music, what parenting did for his music and what it's like to write songs with your 5 year old daughter at her hospital bedside.

This is part two of our conversation with Blue Man Group. We sat with resident General Manager Jonathan Screnci, Blue Man Mike Brown, and drummers Kyle Harris and Kevin Asmus before a performance at The Charles Playhouse.
We come in just as Jonathan walked into the room to join us about an hour into our talk.

This award winning singer-songwriter, actor and artist is a force to be reckoned with. Ruby's deep, unique voice is surprising at first, but she soon pulls you into her resonant sound with powerful lyrics and amazing vocal range.
Ruby pays homage to Leonard Cohen, Andy Warhol and Roy Orbison in our conversation about singing, acting, writing, learning and growing.
So this is our 50th episode and Ronnie and I decided to have a State of the Conversation.
What an amazing year! We've been downloaded in all 50 states (again, a nice round number) and in over 50 countries (we sense a trend here...).
We can't say enough how much we appreciate our listeners and the positive feedback we've received. We've been fortunate to have some unbelievable talent on the show with unique stories and wonderful performances from all walks of music - classical, jazz, hip-hop, rock, singer-songwriter...it's becoming a long list.
We strive to introduce our listeners to local artists who have made their mark on the Boston music scene and at the same time bring nationally recognized artists to the conversation who have a connection to Boston in unique ways.
The rest of 2017 is filling up with more brilliant artists, performers and Boston movers and shakers - we hope you get a chance to discover what they have to offer.
Charles Haynes is a drummer, producer, musical director and strong believer in the power of listening. He learned this through constant gigging at one of Boston oldest family owned jazz clubs in Boston, Wally's Café.

At the time the agreement was signed, the wife's disclosure showed assets worth over £16m, together with further inheritance prospects and income. The husband claimed to have £600,000 in cash, £580,000 in business assets and income which, including royalties, was said to have been £280,000. The agreement stated that they would not to make financial claims against the other if they ever divorced.
The parties separated in 2012 and a bitter divorce followed.
Within the following proceedings, the husband claimed that he had never, in fact, generated any substantial income from his artistic endeavours. His income was a mere £6,000 and his royalties were not £80,000 per annum but just £8,000. The judge said that the figures the husband provided at the time the pre-nuptial agreement had been signed were "simply untrue" and that the husband had deliberately sought to mislead the wife and her advisers as to his financial status, so that he could be assured that the marriage would happen.
By this time, the value of the wife's assets was somewhere around £27m. This figure did not include her interest in the parties' London home, which had a market value of £4.5m. The judge assessed the matter and despite the husband's conduct, the judge had to take into account the husband's financial needs, concluding that he should be granted £1.7 million to buy a house, along with a lump sum payment of £215,000.
Emma Alfieri, family law practitioner, commented: "This case demonstrates that whilst an award of £1.9m may seem high given the husband's conduct, the court's overarching criterion remains to be fairness and therefore the husband's housing needs had to be met going forward. The pre-nuptial agreement did hold significant weight and it is likely that the husband's award would have been greater, had there have been no pre-nuptial agreement at all. For further information in respect of pre-nuptial agreements, please contact Steeles Law's family law team.

Hi everyone! I`m new to the forum. I have a funny story to tell you that I read somewhere.
A patient comes to a dentist with a tooth pain.
Dantist : Two of you teeth are inflamated and we need to remove them.
Patient: And how much will it cost?
Dentist: Seven hundred and fifty dollars for both.
Patient: What? Seven hundred and fifty dollars for 10 minutes of work?
Dentist: Well, if you like, I can pull them out slowly!

The Eagles, Solo Artist
The Fractal system is like having over 100 guitar setups in one...Different amps, speakers, and effects in every combination you could imagine. It is so helpful in the studio to recreate or redo a guitar part... No setting up, no microphones or tweaking to match sounds. It's just right there where you left it. I'm loving this unit and having a blast exploring all of it's possibilities.

Review by Danny Gaisin
It's quite understandable for this particular scribe to choose HIS GIRL FRIDAY as my first play enjoyed at this year's SHAW. I grew up with a relative of Ben Hecht's; my first job was newspaper associated; and finally, role reversal…I'm the 'Hildy' character to wife Terry's editing 'Walter! *Photo courtesy of David Cooper*
The original title was 'The Front Page' and comedically represented the male dominated printed media of the late thirties. Women might write about society events but beyond that, it was secretarial or schlepping coffee. Hecht & MacArthur were liberals well ahead of the cusp. The play was a success, so were the resultant movies and John Guare's adaptation picks the best of all three. Jim Mezon's direction manages to capture the essence of pre-computerized re-writes, copyboys and deadlines that permeated pressrooms of the time. His pace, switches of focus and blocking are perfectly suited to the atmosphere he successfully recreates. Interestingly, the dialogues between the two protagonists and even the support cast seem almost choreographic in synchronization, pause and zingers!
Walter is portrayed in a rather harried and physical manner by Benedict Campbell who has previously received numerous critical mentions in 'The Arts Review'. His timing is exquisite and even the shticks that may be somewhat telegraphed, still receive well-deserved guffaws. His foil is a dynamic Nicole Underhay who takes no back seat as Hildy. She's determined, she's liberated but most important – as she fervently declares…She's a newspaperMAN! She closes Act I with a two-word scatology that even the muse has been known to utter in moments of duress. Tom Allison's gangster and Ric Reid's 'Les Nessman-ish' "Bensinger" give more than just comic relief; their portrayals ring true. The five police-beat reporters and Peter Millard as the jail's gofer may be stereotypical but still contribute full measure and flesh out Mezon's interpretation.The only support-role weakness is Wendy Thatcher whose articulation fails to project, specially during her litany naming the period's women who write prose or poetry.
The set by Peter Hartwell definitely manages to evoke the ambiance of a newspaper office. I could almost visualize my own visits to the Montreal Star, circa 1959 usually for an editorial chew-out about syntax, phrasing and pedantic verbosity. The costumes are necessarily shabby and reflect the period. The stage props are a major contribution to the audience's feeling of being the proverbial fly-on-a-wall observer. The play is somewhat longish, but with its fast pace, never drags.
We'll be covering five of this season's offerings, if the next four are equally entertaining; O.A.R's TOP TEN will again be facing triage in order to select a SHAW recipient. HIS GIRL FRIDAY is at the Festival Theatre.

Please email firstname.lastname@example.com for all Autec Radio Remote enquires.
Autec industrial radio remote controls systems are designed and manufactured to meet the highest international standards for quality, safety and reliability. With 20 years of experience, Autec has become a world leader in the industrial radio remote controls industry.
All Autec industrial radio remote controls are "Fail Safe": if a failure occurs, this does not compromise their safety functions. Every product is subject to strict functional controls on a wide range of parameters carried out by automatic test equipment. The level of safety of the systems are independently tested and certified by TÜV Süddeutschland.
All electronic and mechanical parts of every radio remote control are designed and tested to resist heavy duty usage in extreme working conditions; temperatures from -20°C to +70°C, shocks and vibrations, chemical exposure to agents such as oils, varnishes and diluents, electromagnetic disturbance, dust and water). Every radio system comes with Autec's two year warranty.
Due to the flexible yet precise configurations, Autec's remote controllers are able to work for a broad range of industrial applications and are being increasingly utilised to control machines in the lifting and building industries, including: overhead cranes, tower crane, concrete pumps and forestry machines, however a radio system can be configured (layout, type and description of the command actuators) to adapt to the most varying application requirements and usage habits.
The primary safety function of a control system must be the ability to bring or maintain the machine to a safe state. Two safety functions (that is to say, failsafe functions) are needed to achieve this objective. One is the STOP function, that must ensure the possibility to stop the system in any moment, even if the reception of correct signals is difficult. The second is the UMFS function (Unintended Movement From Standstill) that protects the system "machine + radio remote control" from machine's motion enabled unintentionally due to radio remote control faults. This function constantly checks the movement actuators' rest position.
Each Autec industrial radio remote control system is therefore designed and manufactured by implementing at least these two essential safety functions.
Autec's industrial radio remotes have limitless applications, with an experienced team of technical engineers RHC Lifting & Autec can analyse your operation and draw upon an extremely versatile product range, a vast back project catalogue and has the ability to design new control systems, to recommend the right control solution to achieve the optimum benefits for your specific applications.

An imminent decision by the South Korean Air Force on the type of advanced radar system it will adopt for the upgrade of its 135 KF-16C/Ds will likely have a ripple effect in Taiwan as the latter mulls options for the upgrade of its 145 F-16A/Bs.
Up until recently, only one US defense firm, Raytheon Corp, had been cleared by the US government to export Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radars, one of the main components in the US$5.8 billion arms package for Taiwan notified to US Congress in September last year.
However, the US Department of State last month gave Northrop Grumman Corp a permanent export license (DSP-5) for its own version of the AESA radar — known as the Scalable Agile Beam Radar (SABR) — for the South Korean and Taiwanese bids.
Raytheon had obtained a DSP-5 for its Raytheon Advanced Combat Radar (RACR) in 2008, US-based Defense News reported earlier this month.
The DSP-5 license is the first step in the foreign military sales process and allows for the release of unclassified technical information and data to a foreign country.
With this decision, Taipei will now be able to choose between the two manufacturers as it negotiates the acquisition of the 176 AESA radars included in the notification.
Although the air force was informed by the Executive Yuan that it would only be given US$3.7 billion for the F-16 upgrade — US$1.5 billion less than the US$5.2 billion proposed in the notification — the Ministry of National Defense remains committed to obtain the advanced radar, a multifunction sensor that, among other things, allows for the targeting of multiple objects simultaneously.
Taipei has also not abandoned its plans to procure 66 of the more advanced F-16C/D, efforts that have been unsuccessful since 2007.
Reporting from the Singapore Air Show earlier this month, UK-based Jane's Defence Weekly said that the US Air Force, which announced a program on Feb. 10 to upgrade 350 F-16C/Ds by 2020, would likely pick the radar adopted by the South Korean Air Force. By doing so, the US Air Force would lower the price tag for its retrofits, as South Korea would be the one paying for the integration costs.
Taiwan is also likely to adopt whichever AESA system is picked by South Korea, the defense magazine said.

"Dear folks, if you have boyfriend, girlfriend, husband/wife just appreciate the love, take care of him/her, value your love ones and feel them the they're worth." - will do.ReplyDelete

siguro, it's not that we don't know what we've got until it's gone. truth is, we know what we have, we just didn't think na mawawala sa atin yung mga bagay na iyon. marerealize nalang natin na ganun sila kaimportante kapag hindi na sila sa atin. we get used to the fact na they're just there, kapag kailangan natin sila.ReplyDelete
ganun talaga. we can never appreciate too much. sa huli, dun tayo mag-a-assess. dun natin mapapagtanto kung sapat ba ang naibigay nating attention at pagmamahal sa mga taong nandiyan para sa atin. sabi nga nila, pag nagmahal ka, ibigay mo lahat. hindi yung paunti unti, hence, it's not loving at all.
learn to let go of the things that you thought you can hold on to forever. that's one way of moving on.
in a relationship, appreciation of the small things is a must. no matter how small those things are.. nasa huli ang pagsisisi kaya ngayon palang alagaan ng mabuti ang someone mo.ReplyDelete
such a nice post for feeling emo...ReplyDelete
love the music vid...
oh em! nag-uumenglish ang lolow ko. lolReplyDelete
Good points. it's reallt regretful when all comes to an end, the way you don't want it to be. That's life. sigh*
bimpo please!!ReplyDelete
yes i agree with you...treasure every moments that you share with your love one...co'z you'll never know what tomorrow may bring...
Agree. Don't just love the person. APPRECIATE the person. Even the littlest things count.ReplyDelete
Hay.. the problem with people is that they couldn't let go.
Acceptance is the very first thing to consider. Iaccept na lang na wala na. Kaya nagiging bitter at nasasaktan, kasi nage-expect pa. When both of you (or kung siya lang) decided to break up, it means it's over na. Accept it. No expectations. Go on with your life and SMILE. :) Trust me, I know. hehehe..
Amen.Kung di lang naman yan gagawin ma mundok ka na ng magisa ng walang sinasaktan.ReplyDelete
VERY WELL SAID! Grabe, nainlove ulit ako pero teary eyed din..hay. TRUlalu lahat to! na refresh ko sa relationship ko. thanks.ReplyDelete
agreeng agree ako sa post mo empi, pero mahirap din yung ikaw ang nagbigay ng lahat, di pa din nakuntento. galit?! hehe :)ReplyDelete
Ouch, hopefully things will brighten for you soon. :(ReplyDelete

Many canned tire inflators sold in the US still have butane & propane as the propellant to inflate the tire.These tire sealants or tire inflators with butane or propane can explode and cause serious injury, blindness, and even death to the tire worker and others. The customer who puts these flammable gases into their tire by using a canned tire sealant or tire inflator may also have additional risks or danger in putting butane in their tire and traveling a highway speeds with a flammable gas inside their tire.Further, many of these tire inflators state that it will permanently fix a flat. cording to tire experts, these tire inflators will not safely seal a hole or defect and in fact can cause damage to the tire and rim.
While trying to fix a flat, many tire workers and others can be blinded, maimed, or even decapitated when the tire explodes. Most of these tires had been previously filled with a can of tire sealant to fix a leak in the tire. The propellant in the tire sealant often times contains the butane & propane. When an ignition source is present a massive explosion is possible.
Many brands of tire sealant today STILL contain butane and propane as the propellant, which is flammable and highly explosive. Other companies either due to safety concerns or competitive reasons have switched from an explosive propellant to a non-explosive one. The problem is obvious, if a spark comes into contact within the contents of the tire, then an explosion is possible and serious injuries and deaths are likely.
One of the first brands of inflators to fix a flat tire, was named FIX A FLAT, made by Nationwide Industries. For many years, Fix A Flat was the dominant leader in this industry, but due to the flammable ingredients and tire explosions, many were severely injured and maimed by the Fix A Flat product. Fix A Flat though had competition, namely from Radiator Specialty company, that produced Puncture Seal, Johnsen's, Golden Eagle, S.T.P., Chief, C.S.A. Ltd, and others. After many lawsuits, Fix a Flat finally changed their ingredients and stopped using the explosive mixture. Fix a Flat continues to this day to only sell the non-flammable cans of Fix A Flat. Through the efforts and litigation of products liability actions, attorney, David P. Willis, has helped force or convince several other different companies to stop the sell and distribution of tire inflators that contain butane and propane.
The first such case involved a young man, Patrick Cherry of Houston,Texas, who was working at a Chevron gas station when the tire he was trying to fix exploded. The explosion threw him back some 15-20 feet away, causing massive bodily injuries. Cherry was Life-Flighted from the gas station and recovered after months of hospitalization and therapy. The ignition source that ignited the flammable gas mixture was the tire reamer causing a spark when it came into contact with a steel belt in the tire. The Willis Law Firm hired engineering and testing labs to duplicate the explosive and deadly force from tire explosion. After months of discovery, the defendants settled this case. The main defendant ceased to ever manufacture this type of product again.
The next case involved a retired mechanic in San Antonio, Texas helping a neighbor on a Sunday morning to try and fix a small pin hole leak in the rim of a mobile home tire. The neighbor had used a can of Puncture Seal made by Radiator Specialty Company in the tire in hopes that the slow leak would stop. Mr. Gaconnet inspected the tire and found the pin hole leak. After deflating the tire, he attempted to weld the pin hole closed, when suddenly the tire and rim exploded, blinding him in both eyes and maiming his hand and causing a massive loss of hearing. A spark from the weld ignited the flammable mixture. The tire did not explode due to an over heating of the contents of the air in the tire as was argued by the defendants. At the conclusion of the case, it was announced that Radiator Specialty Company was changing their formula, and was not producing anymore Puncture Seal with butane / propane as the propellant for the tire sealant.
Another similar case involved a woman from California that had a can of Johnsen's Tire Sealant stored underneath the seat of her pickup truck. Without her knowledge the can leaked out the butane from a faulty seal on the can and the butane puddled on the floorboard of her can. When she later lit a cigarette the entire car burst into flames. She suffered numerous 2nd and 3rd degree burns from the flash fire. Her case was settled by Mr. Willis within months after suit was filed for a confidential amount.
Other cases around the nation include, blindness, brain damage, severe lacerations and even a decapitation. These products with a flammable gas should have never produced and sold to the public. Never should a flammable / explosive gas be introduced into a closed container (tire), where it can stay for days, weeks, months or even years before it has the chance to maim, blind or kill. Most companies have changed their formulas, but a few still are subjecting this tire bomb to others. For these companies, punitive or exemplary damages are sought and many time awarded by outraged juries.
We are proud of the work we have done at the Willis Law Firm to help clean up an industry. Mr. Willis is routinely sought as associate or lead counsel by other attorneys on these cases to help in discovery issues in these products liability cases. Mr. Willis has been interviewed numerous times by many of the leading tire industry magazines and publications and has appeared on many NBC stations in the United States concerning the dangers of these tire sealants and helped bring this danger public.
If you or a loved one has been seriously injured, maimed, blinded or even killed as a result on one of these tire sealants or any other flammable or explosive products and you would like to know what can be done to protect your legal rights, then call a Trial Lawyer who understand aerosol / butane explosions, for a Free Confidential Consultation call 1-800-883-9858.

There are just about top 5 male Nigerian artistes who have always feed our crave for celebrity drama. They more often than not consciously or unconsciously life their lives in styles that inspire gossip and controversies.
Get familiar with these inevitable Nigerian music bad boys.
See them below;
1. Timaya
Egberi Papa 1 of Bayelsa as he is fondly acknowledged, is without an iota of doubt one of the most controversial male music acts we have.
Solely controversial for his headstrong persona and thuggish mannerisms. Timaya is one artiste we love to hate. He was described as one with an undesirable attitude who needed to enroll for anger management classes, by a Punch Newspaper correspondent. He has come under fire several times for his unorthodox lifestyle.
Surprisingly, Timaya garners over a million followers on instagram meanwhile he follows nobody on the social network.
2. Olamide
"Iyalaya anybody, street ti takeover", the infamous rant was done by YBNL honcho Olamide Adedeji during the 2016 Headies Awards when Lil Kesh failed to pick up the "Next Rated" award.
Olamide aka 'baddo' is well regarded as a street king is not new to throwing tantrums and exuding rascally acts. He can also be credited for popularizing the 'red cup' culture as always seen in his music videos.
As far as the story goes, Olamide who ascribes himself as one with the streets is surprisingly making razz the new cool. He is very much a present day pop culture influence especially with the biggest weapon at his disposable, his music.
3. Wizkid
Somebody say yea yea! Wizkid whose real name is Ayodeji Ibrahim Balogun plays in the top echelon of the Nigerian music industry. You already know back in 2012 he sang was the baddest boy alongside Skales and mentor Banky W, since then he is ever living up to the expectation.
Wizkid has played major roles in the industry's most controversial moments.
Remember Wizkid reportedly got into a fight with fellow colleague Dammy Krane in a club over song theft. Flashback to the fiasco from his second baby mama drama. And subsequently the spat with popular blogger Linda Ikeji which involved Lagos commissioner of police. Yet in all the star boy Wizkid has been winning on several levels with his music.
4. Burna Boy
Any list of industry bad boys without Burna boy, is that one a list? No way! Sensational dance hall act Burna boy is a good prototype for writing a book on "how to be a bad boy". In fact Burna Boy and his music thrives in the midst of contention. It all begins from the early days of his career when he was barred from gaining entrant into the UK for being part of a gang indicted for murder.
From exiting his former record label Aristocrat on controversial grounds to sacking his mum as his manager.
The singer has also been accused for non payment of work fees, staff emoluments, refusal to turn up for interviews and having unprotected sex with one Stella Uju. Burna Boy makes for an undisputed music bad boy, especially considering his lifestyle. In a these the Port Harcourt born artiste has a loyal following from his fans plus he is a good music export.
5. Davido
Who else deserves the number one spot if not Davido. The DMW boss is easily most talked about Nigerian music act at the moment.
Davido never avoids any opportunity to get into the news even if it may not be for very noble reasons. OBO easily gets mouths wagging with his flagrant display of cash especially foreign currencies and other ostentatious show off. One of the biggest highlights in music from 2016 was his altercation with his baby mama Sophie Momodu.
Another epic episode was when he dissed media mogul Dele Momodu and uncle to his baby mama in Humblesmith's "Osinachi" remix. He is one of the many artistes with more than one baby mama. His latest episode was his alleged altercation with Ice Prince in Warri during a concert both artistes were billed to perform. Well, Davido doesn't seem to care or give any thoughts about it so far as he is popping and he keeps churning out hits. True to his alias Davido is the 'baddest' of them all.

Propaganda: Obama has created 4.4M private sector jobs over the last 28 months. His policies are working!
- This propaganda actually appears on Obama's campaign website.
- Obama is counting jobs gained (happens at the end of every recession).
- Obama is not counting jobs lost.
- If you include jobs lost, Obama has a net loss of 500,000 jobs.
- At this pace, it will be 2016 before we're back to pre-recession employment levels.
- Obama promised to keep unemployment below 8% (see page 4 graph) if we enacted ARRA (stimulus bill).
- Unemployment has never fallen below 8% at any time during his presidency.
- Obama Advisors predicted unemployment would be 6% (see page 4 graph) by this time if we enacted ARRA.
- Today, August 3, 2012, Unemployment increased from 8.2% to 8.3%.
- Real unemployment ticked back up to 15% (U6).
- There has not been one day in the Obama presidency when as many Americans were working as they were when Bush left office.
- Fewer workers are being hired today than during 2007 and 2009.
More spin, more deceptive number crunching by Team Obama.
Really tragic news for the American Worker…

Meet Christine
Loaded question isn't it?
Yep, I hear you.
It's not an easy question to answer. Most people are expecting to hear "good" or "fine!" But all too often, we're far from it.
Maybe on those days, you'll join me here?
This is the place where I'll be blogging about all the less-than-fine. Where it's okay to join me in the gut-spilling, heart-submitting, and soul-revealing. The messy days have a place here. I have those kinds of days all the time.
But this is also a place for good news. Good news becomes fuel for my day when everything would like to propel me in much darker ways.
So I guess I'm a blogger on a mission.
I thought about using this blog for so many things. But the most important journey I've been guided to, right here, right now, is mood disorders and mental health. That's right, I'm a believer navigating a little something called chronic depression on a nearly daily basis.
Learning that although my faith may be affected by my Dysthymic Disorder, my Saviour is never sidetracked by it in the slightest.
That I can cling to the Life Preserver and ride out all the storms.
And when you're a blogger, a wife, a mom, a clutz, a 'Canadian' Green Bay Packers fan, and someone with a chronic mood disorder…
Well, there's plenty of storms to ride out, we'll leave it at that.
And the most important thing you need to know about me?
I hate when people go through their own storms alone.
This blog can be your community. I loathe the thought that other people are out there, thinking they are unseen, and misunderstood. You are not alone.
Will you hash all this out with me? Will you be transparent with me?
Will you cling to His promises with me?
Over a year ago now, a voice said, "Hey you, wrapped up in the Life Preserver…. hows about you reach over the side and grab hold of the first hand you find struggling to stay afloat on the sea of life?"
Hey new friend?
This is my hand.
Will you take it?
The Life Preserver will get us through, together.
You can find me all over social media, so let's connect.
And for the next month you can find me leading the
#SoulH2O Book Launch Team! Excited about the release of
"Soul H2O: 40 Thirst Quenching Devotions for Women"
by Author/Blogger/Speaker Sherry Stahl!

Problem #1:
- While tanking, my automaton continuously interrupts skillchains.
(Can add a beneficial effect in exchange for loss of WS)
- Create attachments that prevents automaton from weaponskiling
- Add manual execution as previously promised
Problem #2:
- Spiritreaver is irrelevent in today's content and pales in comparison to a Black Mage.
(Allow higher tier nukes if Skillchain effect is present)
- Add attachment that greatly reduces elemental magic recast times, but restricts spell levels to tier I/II
Problem #3:
Soulsoother/Stormwaker frames are rarely used and are irrelevant since the implementation of trusts.
- Allow Soulsoother access to Curagas, Esuna, and Sacrifice (used under water maneuver effect) giving it relevance as a healer in party/alliance content
- Allow Stormwaker access to Distract, Frazzle, Refresh, and Inundation as well as ability to buff others (under effect of water maneuver)
Other noteworth suggestions:
- Allow Automatons to be Trick Attacked
- Allow Automatons to be entrusted Indi- spells from GEO
- Allow Soulsoother/Stormwaker to cast Raise under the effect of water maneuver
- Allow Harlequin's melee attacks to be treated as "Hand-to-Hand" so it uses them both each round
- Add "Cover" Attachment
- Add "Ability"/AI-programming attachments

A week ago, 19-year-old Jordan Spieth (SPEETH) wasn't even an official member of the PGA Tour. But now, after Sunday's win the John Deere Classic in the Quad Cities, the Texan is in Edinburgh, Scotland, to compete in the British Open, with $828,000 in his pocket.
Barry Cronin, spokesman and Media Director for the John Deere Classic, first met Spieth at the 2011 Western Amateur Championship, which was held in Glenview, Illinois. On today's WVIK News Focus, Cronin tells us about the teenager and his victory at TPC Deere Run in Silvis. To listen, use the media player below the photo.
Jordan Spieth's tee time at the Bristish open on Thursday is 6:50 am Central.
