Fugro Acquires DCN to Boost Share of Middle East Offshore Market
Fugro, the Netherlands-based geotechnical, survey, subsea and geoscience service provider, announced that it has reached agreement to acquire DCN Global LLC (DCN Global), a company specializing in the provision of subsea engineering and diving services to the offshore civil and oil & gas industry, primarily in the Middle East.
Over the last four decades Fugro has firmly established itself as the leading player in the offshore survey and geotechnical markets in the Middle East. In addition, Fugro provides underwater support to oil and gas companies with a modern fleet of ROVs (remotely operated vehicles). To an increasing extent, our clients in this region combine their ROV and diving inspection needs into a single contract. With the acquisition of DCN Global, Fugro significantly strengthens its ability to offer an integrated offshore service package of survey, geotechnical and IRM (inspection, repair and maintenance) services.
DCN Global, headquartered in Abu Dhabi, began in 2010 and has an excellent track record based on its engineering capabilities and the quality of its staff. The company employs 39 people onshore and has up to 170 contract staff offshore at any one time. Fugro has already cooperated with the company on joint projects for the past two years. DCN Global has enjoyed rapid recent growth of its business and is expected to generate revenues of approximately $30 million in 2013. The company has worked for oil & gas, dredging and construction companies throughout the Middle East region including Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
DCN Global will move its activities to Fugro's offices before the end of this year. The current management team will stay on to continue to work for Fugro.
Completion of the sale agreement requires standard regulatory approval which should be completed shortly.

The Works of ONEQNovember 14, 2012
View Gallery
Japanese illustrator ONEQ melds Japanese and American art styles in her manga-inspired works. Her hyper-saturated portraits of voluptuous women take a cue from a number of influences, from Japanese pop artist Rockin' Jelly Bean to American comic artist Simon Bisley. ONEQ lives and works in Kumamoto, Japan.

found this really nice site this morning,
some lovely attention to simple shape and very clean detail.
I love the form of the chair, & the clean lines and corner detail on the blocks.
The elegance of the shape underneath this table particularly caught my eye, the flow of the two lines is beautifully done, but it jars a bit against the weight and material of the top, like two different tables that have been mashed together. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I'd love to see this with a transparent top or wooden framed aperture so you could see through to the shape underneath and explore from more angles.
But that's just us being picky.

Jillian Michaels' 6 week 6 pack - anyone want to (re)start with me?(235 Posts)
I've just done Shred and had great results.
Am now starting 6 week 6 pack - does anyone want to start or restart with me?
hopeful smile
Did Blast Fat Boost Metabolism this evening, gosh I was sweaty after! Started off ok but was struggling at the end, don't think I would have had a chance if I hadn't done shred first!
Think I'll wait until the weekend for another 6w6p session now- fancy a rest day tomorrow.
Hi everyone. Welcome wriggle
I have had the last 6 days off due to bad cold and chesty cough. Not just me but DC as well. It's been miserable.
Hoping to get back to it by Sunday or Monday.
I think I want to do Ripped in 30 next. But I could just save my money and 6w6p again!
Argh decisions.
Trucks. Hope your back mends soon.
I can see what your chiropractor means about side lunge with a bend.
But then you can hurt yourself doing almost any exercise if you are not careful.
Trucks the exercises you copied for me for diastisis recti are the ones I have been doing with the physio. I've had extensive physio after both DC. Not just for the DR but also a problem with my SI joints (hip joints at the back). If I hadn't had that intensive physio, I would be in a wheelchair by now. Many with SI injuries end up in wheel chairs.
We had to pay for all my physio both times. The NHS offered me a wheel chair and opiate painkillers. And help with an application for a Blue parking badge!! Quite literally!
It's all fixable with physio (very expensive. We spent about £5k on physio). But hey it beats a wheel chair.
My stomach gap isn't there when the muscles are working. They come together completely. However because the gap was so large (8 fingers), then the membrane which holds both sides of the muscles together (towards each other) when the muscles are not working, has been torn completely around my belly button and one inch above and below.
This is what makes me look pregnant and makes my belly much bigger in the centre.
And it's getting to me!!
I know it shouldn't. But it does.
Am going to a 40th tomorrow and if a single person asks me if I am pregnant or congratulates me. I will not be happy. In fact I wish DH would go alone and I would stay at home with DC as I'd rather have a night in then the constant "oh congratulations or when are you due".
I must repeat: "I am a size 12 and not fat"!! And try not to cry
Thanks for the welcome MrsF. Shocking that the nhs were no help at all with physio. Pregnancy is an absolute horror for the body for some people. Hope the coughs and colds are getting better now too.
L1D3 yesterday evening. I can do most of the exercises at intermediate level now but any crunches I struggle with. Planks I find ok, but I can't imagine ever being able to do the spider plank with a push up! I really need to work on push ups- I'd love to be able to do more than a couple of proper push ups.
I fancy Ripped in 30 too after this too. Hopefully a bit of variety can help keep it interesting. I like the look of this collection. I can see me ending up with a Jillian library at home! I just love how she motivates you- I always thought home DVDs were easy but certainly not these! Might try someone else's too- anyone got any recommendations (but not Davina- she annoys me too much).
Perhaps one day I'll work up the nerve to try Insanity!
Wriggle. I attempted a spider plank with a push up and fell flat on my face. 2 yo DS laughing saying "oh no mummy fall down".
May need to work on that!!
Had a look at ripped in 30. Hmmm. Interested.
Mrs F it's so awful to hear how hard you've been having to fight to get your middle sorted post DC. I hope the party is lovely and people tell you how fit you look. And that cough clears up.
Wriggle the spider thing is impossible with push up! That whole last sequence is v hard on shoulders but really works!
I skipped today as no time - went out last night to a gala and had fun with sore abs after starting l1 again. Will do it tomorrow and have pole class booked for tues: hoping back holds out.
L1D4 done this morning. Was up with DS at 5.40, so had a quick drink of water then put on my exercise gear (that I had put downstairs yesterday evening) and got on with it. Had to pause a few times to put slippers back on DS, fix toys etc, and some exercises were done with a toddler on my stomach! It's nice that it's done now though.
I think I'll do 15 lots of L1 before I move onto L2- she says 5x per week so 15 would be three weeks worth. 3-4 times a week is plenty for me!
Well done wriggle! That's hardcore so early in the morning.
Cough and cold gone so no excuses left and I need to get back into it today.
Trucks. Pole dancing sounds good. Bet it's really hard. I've tried it once and I was really bad at it.
No one seemed to notice my tum at the party. I think they were too busy looking at my wardrobe malfunction!
Wore a pair of trousers I've not worn for 5 years. Turns out they were too big and kept slipping down. I spent much of the night showing my knickers. It was a NSV but not really the sort you dream of is it!
Still though a pair of size 12s falling off your back side isn't bad. I will temper it by saying the were by Day, Birger eat Mikkelsen and their sizes are Danish and generous. And a sort of a legging type jodhpurs trousers and elasticated waist. Still they were 12s and fell off.
That is certainly a NSV MrsF!
I'd love to try pole dancing too, but I suspect I'd be awful.
A further NSV. I tried on my very small 7 For All Mankind skinny Roxanne in size 29. And they fit!! I had actually put them in the pile for chucking as there was no way I would ever wear them again. But no they fit.
Last time I wore those was August 2008 (pre DC and pregnancy). So over 5 years.
I did weigh about 5.5kg less than I do now. But I was less fit and most def had less muscle. All that lugging DC around and pushing heavily laden stroller over and up a gravel road every day (several times a day more like) and of course a few rounds of shred and 6w6p.
I actually cannot quite believe it. Even last autumn when I was just a little (circa 2kg) heavier than now, I couldn't even pull those jean over my thighes.
I know I am hogging the thread and going on and on but feck me. This is seriously amazing.
Am going to try lots of other clothes on from the "will never wear because I will never be that slim again" pile! Ooohhh. Wonder what else fits ?
Yay! Yay! Hooray!
It has happened!
The moment MrsF gets her fab wardrobe back!
I have been excited about this moment coming since the summer when you posted about all the lovely clothes!
Really genuinely pleased for you!
Well done on dawn Jillian session wriggle!
I'm doing yoga meltdown later when DS in bed because something still not right with ribs and need to be careful for pole tomorrow. I love pole and did it for years before DS was born.
Go on as much as you like MrsF- what an achievement! Certainly proof you should judge results on inches lost rather than weight . And very jealous of your posh clothes- I've been buying my new jeans from Primark and New Look! Maybe when the boys are bigger and my clothes don't get so trashed I will splash out on something amazing!
Sorry to hear you're still sore Trucks, take it easy until you feel better. Jillian will be ready when you are .
<awaits update on which clothes fit and which are now a bit big>
Agreed, come on MrsF- we want to hear how you managed to fit into every single item in the 'too slim' pile!
Did No More Trouble Zones earlier- what a workout!
Trucks and wriggle. Didn't get that far! Last night I got roped into one of DHs "chores". He wants a new tv. Apparently ours is technologically out of date. Hmmm. It shows actual tv has free view and DVD player so what's the issue?
Anyway needless to say the tedious musings over which ridiculous monstrosity he wants took my evening and I am yet to try on the "clothes I will never be thin enough for again" pile.
But it's winking at me and the DC go to their beds in a few moments. I sadly have to remove DS poo from bath first and sterilise yuk.
But you didn't want to know that.
I did my L1 6w6p today. I am following Bashira. I can almost do a spider plank and push up. Admittedly push up is a pathetic slight arm bend but its there and I am using 3kg weight (6.6lbs?). And using the weight for lever crunch and get up too. Proud or what
Very excellent well done mrs f and wriggle!
Pole turned out to be fairly advanced technical class: we spent an hour doing mounts and dismounts and inversions which was a bit of a shock after 4 years off. I vaguely thought we'd just do a few beginner twirls.
Covered in bruises.
Signed up 2x week for 5 weeks
Get trying those threads mrs F!
(Once you're no longer covered in poo, obviously).
I've had ( having) a week from hell and didnt realise this thread was still going..
I have been running 5 k nearly everyday instead of gw 6w6p for a change, and its my tummy which is stubbornly refusing to go! Not helped by the copious amounts of wine I am drinking at the moment either..
I'm going to download yoga meltdown as GM does seem to know what she is doing
Mrs f, that sounds wonderful, I am so pleased for you
Trucks, have you aired the bikinis yet
Hello and welcome back lavender! Well done on running, sorry to hear of hard week. Good luck with yoga meltdown
Yes, bikinis have been aired [sucks in tum]
L1D5 today, gosh I'm sweaty! It was hard as I'm still slightly sore from NMTZ on Tuesday but I got there (apart from completely collapsing during the second lot of mountain climbers)!
Hi everyone.
So I have now reclaimed the majority of the "I will never be slim enough again to wear that" pile. Including but not limited to:
Several pairs of 7for all mankind size 29 jeans. Size 10 hobbs top, size 10 DKNY silk top and trousers, 3 Max Mara dresses (12s), size 10 LK Bennett silk and linen coat, various size 12 skirts from Jigsaw hobbs LK Benett, trouser from Nicole Fahri, several Jigsaw, LK Bennett and hobbs suits (all 12s but 10 years old so small 12s). Plus dresses from Whistles, Jigsaw, Milly.
I am beyond happy (shallow and vain). But I seriously didn't think I'd get anywhere near my smaller stuff in a million years. I have just over half a stone to go so I have lost almost 5.5 stone since DS was born 2 years ago.
Not only did I weigh the same after each pregnancy, I had physical problems (SI hip joints and diastisis recti) preventing lots of exercise, I was recovering from GD, and the DC were less than 2 years apart. AND I have just turned 40!!!
So in a moment of middle aged madness, I went out and bought a pair of All Saints Biker Leather trousers in Oxblood colour (size 12
Obviously ).
DH won't be happy I spent ££££ on those trousers when I have just reclaimed an entire wardrobe. But he didn't have to wreck his body to have the DC AND then put it all back together again. So there.
You guys (MN in general) are such fab support and clearly Jillian Michaels and her workouts rock.
Off to admire self in leather trousers.....
Mrsf that's fantastic! I am so pleased for you after your post ages ago ( not that long really) about how you felt.
Have you just been doing the 6p6w everyday? My tummy is bulging(!) and I can't get it down, even with loads of running. I am about the download the yoga meltdown having watched it on YouTube. Gillian looks quite tense at all the feathery strokey stuff, then replapses quite quickly back to her normal self
Come on, motivate me, please. I am a size ten, with a tummy. Not a good look for me.
Lavender. I have just been there. Got down to a size 12 but with a tummy. I tried doing 4:3 but I ended up failing as I was too hungry.
So I tried carb cycling. Body builders do a version of it to maximise fat loss. The body builder version involves complex calculations of how much carb to eat and when against your body weight and when you work out.
I did a simple version which was low carb (under 30gnof carb a day) for two days a week. Still 5:2 and 16:8 except weekends when I eat dinner later with DH.
The fat loss in the tummy has been amazing!!! And quick too. Not so much weight loss but that may be down to doing 6w6p with much heavier weights.
Also been doing lever crunches and diagonal getups with weights has added muscle to the belly. You can actually feel and see that. And quickly too.
Mrsf thanks I am lc and have been since jan- I have had a bad week and have drink more wine this week than possibly all year so far, which I think doesn't help.
Its half term so I haven't been finding the time for any exercise. Back to it in a few days. My body is a temple ... Of doom
At temple of doom! That's what I've been like for the last few years.
Sorry about all the boasting on your thread Trucks. Hope you don't mind.
Back to making dinner for DC.

Success in politics is considered by some to be among the greatest achievements possible. Signifying the respect of your fellow mortals, it offers one an increased level of power over and responsibility for the members of whatever organization you hold a position of power in. It is no coincidence that every mortal who has Ascended has led one of the great cities.
Broadly, positions in governing bodies fall into three categories:
1) Elected representatives
Examples of these positions are guildmasters, city-state ruling councils (Archons, Viziers, etc.) and the leader of democratic clans.
Qualified members of the organization vote and can contest the leadership in elections.
2) Bureaucrats
These are people appointed by the leaders of organizations. Examples are guild secretaries, and the headers of the various city Ministries, as well as the aides to those Ministries (War, Security, Chancellory, etc.)
3) Autocrats
These are people whose positions cannot be contested. They include the heads of non-democratic clans, and the heads of Orders, who may only be appointed by a God, and whose position cannot be challenge by other mortals.
For more extensive information on politics, see the help files.

A RECORD 17,500 applications from 27 different countries were received to fill 1,800 volunteer positions for next year's Ryder Cup at Gleneagles.
The successful applicants were all notified yesterday, with 50 per cent of them living in Scotland and the majority coming from Perthshire, Lanarkshire, Stirlingshire, Fife and Aberdeenshire.
"I am delighted to welcome each and every one of the 1,800 people who have volunteered to be part of the experience at Gleneagles next September," said European captain Paul McGinley. "No golf tournament could exist without volunteers, and that is especially true in terms of a competition of the size and magnitude of the Ryder Cup, so I thank them all for their participation."
Successful applicants will pay £75 for the food, drink and clothing they will be given at the event as they fill roles such as scoreboard carriers, safety marshals and buggy drivers. Each will get a guaranteed half day of viewing time on the course during each day of competition.

Skip to comments.Another Obama project lands in toilet
Posted on 05/07/2014 3:22:08 PM PDT by Steve Peacock
Public outcry follows WND report on plans for U.S. military
An Obama administration plan to have U.S. military personnel oversee the construction of latrines for a Kenyan girls school has come to an abrupt halt, after WNDs exclusive report on the diversion of defense resources.
The U.S. Navy had been tasked with carrying out the project, which would have involved the construction of a building containing 16 female dry-pit latrines for the Mpeketoni Secondary School in Kenya, President Obamas home country, as first lady Michelle Obama once publicly put it.
The Naval Facilities Engineering Command on Tuesday terminated the project without explanation, issuing a notice simply declaring, This solicitation is hereby cancelled.
WNDs article prompted an outcry from readers, thousands of whom redistributed the piece via Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest and other social media. Many sent article links to their elected representatives, demanding congressional action on what they characterized as a misguided endeavor inappropriately and wastefully assigned to the U.S. Navy.
The report simultaneously came under attack from leftist groups such as People For the American Way.

Shouldn't Bammy just be turning the girls over to the local Islamists?
The State Department will still be supplying Constitution toilet paper....
So.. besides posting your own stuff...
Support Free Republic much?
The loathsome 0bama continuing to show disrespect for our military.
I think I just figured out something after reading this article. Obama may be leaving after his term is up. Then he plans to run for president of Kenya. After that chief of the U.N.. Kind of makes sense in a way. If so we may see the backside of Obama after all, without having to go to Chicago and visit, think it was called Men's World, his former hangout.
To president Zero, US Marines are for holding umbrellas for illegal immigrants.
US Navy swabbies are for digging latrines for Obama kinfolk in Africa.
It looks like the only ones Obama wants fighting and making war are Homeland Security, the BLM, ATF, IRS, EPA and other alphabet agencies he sics on Americans.
"...he plans to run for president of Kenya."
You might have something here...
"Latrine Building Around The World"
I think I read that. FSM 213.5BS?
Yup. I'm certain of it.
I suspect he actually does, but we just haven't found out about it yet.
I wouldn't put anything past this bastard.
Just showing yet more of his kind of "RESPECT" for our military personnel. What a piece of excrement he is.
If you can shed light on what is wrong with me providing FR with easy access to articles that clearly are of interest to its readers — an interests that I base on the responses of everyone except for, well, just you — I'd like to hear it. A logical explanation is welcome.
Just a guess, but Mr. Gunner's objection might have something to do with the multitudinous ads that you see along with the article, and the dozen or so trackers that you don't see (but are there nonetheless) on the WND site.
First, the articles are excerpted, driving traffic to a site where you are paid per hit.
You are USING Free Republic as free advertising. Not cool.
articles that clearly are of interest to its readers
If things that interest readers here were a consideration in your postings, you would maybe at least once note an article NOT WRITTEN BY YOURSELF as being of interest.
But no.. you merely use us for self promotion and free advertising.
Id like to hear it. A logical explanation is welcome.
Well, there you go.
For a reason.
As I've explained before, WND does not pay me per hit; I am a freelance journalist that sells my articles and I receive the same compensation regardless of whether a particular report gets six or 6,000 hits. Additionally, FreeRepublic itself actually blocks posters from uploading more than an excerpt from WND.com, as it respects WND's rightful embrace of protections that copyright law offers.
Best wishes, humblegummybear. Please see my latest WND article — or should I say excerpt and link — which I am about to post right now.
A blog is still a blog.
And excerpting a blog is still a scumbag move.
That means "blogger" apparently.
I receive the same compensation regardless of whether a particular report gets six or 6,000 hits.
Guess you'll knock off excerpting then.
Please see my latest WND article or should I say excerpt and link
There you go pimping again. What a scummy fruitloop you turned out to be.

Wayne State represents Michigan in EcoCAR 2 national hybrid engineering competition
January 1, 2013
Engineer Idan Regev loves the feeling he gets when things he builds perform well. As a part of the Wayne State University team participating in the "EcoCAR 2: Plugging in to the Future" competition, the Huntington Woods resident says all his sleepless nights will be worth it if he gets that feeling again these next two years. The event - a three-year marathon exploring electric drive vehicle technology - builds upon 23-year history of the U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Vehicle Technology Competitions, AVTC, that utilize professional partnerships to give students valuable real-world experience in hybrid engineering. The Department of Energy, along with General Motors Corp., asked universities to apply to participate in the North American competition. While the sponsors targeted 400 universities for proposals, only 15 were chosen.

Revised: 28 January 2012
28 January 2012
A joint Australia New Zealand Therapeutic products regulation scheme moved one step closer today when Ministers from both countries met in Melbourne for the first meeting of the Australia New Zealand Therapeutic Products Agency Implementation Ministerial Council.
The meeting, chaired by Australian Health Minister, the Hon Tanya Plibersek MP and comprising the Hon Tony Ryall MP, New Zealand Minister for Health, the Hon Craig Foss MP New Zealand Minister for Commerce and the Hon David Bradbury MP, Australian Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasurer, discussed and agreed on key elements to establish a joint Trans-Tasman therapeutic products regulator.
Over a period of five years the new regulatory Agency will replace Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and the New Zealand Medicines and Medical Devices Safety Authority (Medsafe) with the objective of ensuring that consumers have access to safe, quality medicines and medical devices which are brought to market through a single approval process for both countries.
Resources will be shared to ensure rigorous evaluation and that there is surveillance of products once they are available on the market. Streamlining Trans-Tasman regulation will also further economic integration and benefit industry in both countries.
At the meeting today Ministers noted the Statement of Intent signed by the Australian and New Zealand Prime Ministers in June 2011; approved the Terms of Reference for the Ministerial Council; approved the governance framework for the implementation of the joint scheme and the high level project plan for the establishment of ANZTPA. It also noted progress on projects currently being undertaken jointly through Australia's TGA and Medsafe in New Zealand.
In particular, Ministers agreed that an information website containing advice on adverse reactions to medicines will be available to the public in both Australia and New Zealand by 30 June 2012. This provides enhanced access to safety information and improves transparency. Ministers noted that work will continue on developing a common streamlined, but rigorous process to evaluate and assess the safety, quality and efficacy of over the counter medicines before they are brought to the market.
Ministers today also agreed on a number of initial joint TGA/Medsafe projects that will maintain momentum for the establishment of the joint agency and provide early gains for consumers and industry through enhanced safety and quality processes. There are five joint projects currently being undertaken:
Paul Perry, Minister Plibersek's office, 0427 249 435
Peter McCardle, Minister Ryall's office, 0212 439 067
28 June 2011
On 20 June 2011 the Prime Ministers of New Zealand and Australia announced that the New Zealand and Australian Governments have agreed to proceed with a joint scheme for the regulation of therapeutic goods (for example, medicines, medical devices, and biologicals).
The creation of a joint regulatory scheme across both countries will safeguard public health and safety, while encouraging economic integration and benefitting industry in both countries.
Over time, the joint arrangements will be administered by a single regulatory agency, the Australia New Zealand Therapeutic Products Agency (ANZTPA), which will absorb the current regulators - Australia's Therapeutic Goods Administration and New Zealand's Medsafe.
New Zealand is introducing a separate scheme to regulate natural health products in the New Zealand Market.
A three-phase and staged approach over a period of up to five years will be adopted to progressively achieve the establishment of ANZTPA.
From July 2011, both countries will immediately begin to share resources, expertise and information, building the regulatory capacity in both countries.
A Transition Agency will be established to oversee implementation of the joint arrangements for medicines, devices and biologicals. This Transition Agency will advise a select Ministerial Council on the joint scheme, which will include the Australian and New Zealand Health Ministers and other relevant ministers.
Following a review of progress and final confirmation of arrangements, the separate national regulators will be absorbed into a new joint agency.
The new ANZTPA is expected to be operational within five years.
This approach to implementation will deliver prompt and progressive benefits for consumers, industry and governments.
A single regulatory framework will provide health benefits for consumers, reduced regulatory costs for industry and greater efficiency for governments.
The new world class scheme is expected to enhance the reputation of New Zealand and Australian therapeutic products on the world market.
Agreement for a joint regulatory scheme was first reached in 2003. However, the joint scheme was not able to proceed as New Zealand was unable to pass enabling legislation.
Negotiations between the countries were suspended in July 2007. However, the Treaty between Australia and New Zealand remained in place and allowed both countries to resume negotiations at any time.
The 2003 Treaty envisages a common regulatory framework for all therapeutic goods.
The 20 June 2011 announcement by the Prime Ministers of New Zealand and Australia acknowledges that the New Zealand Government will introduce a separate scheme to regulate natural health products in the New Zealand market; and that the establishment of ANZTPA is not dependent on natural health products being part of the joint regulatory arrangements. In the future, should both countries agree, it would be possible to include natural health products within the joint scheme.
A review of this proposed New Zealand scheme for natural health products in five years' time will consider whether or not to maintain a separate scheme for certain natural health products in New Zealand.
Until a common regulatory framework is agreed, all therapeutic goods to be supplied into the New Zealand or Australian markets will still need to meet the standards in these markets.
Each country will be responsible for meeting the costs associated with the early phases of this joint ANZTPA work programme. Over time, the cost of regulation will be integrated into the cost recovery arrangements with industry. At this stage, TGA and Medsafe will continue their usual cost recovery arrangements from industry.

The combination of baking soda and lemon is among the healthiest things for our health. According to experts, the mixture can treat numerous ailments including cancer, and is said to be more effective than chemotherapy!
Several studies have confirmed that the mixture of lemon and baking soda can kill cancer cells 10 000 times better than chemotherapy. However, you won't read about this in the media – this fact is hidden from the public on purpose, as it may hurt Big Pharma's profits.
Lemons are fruits with powerful anticancer properties that can treat a variety of diseases and conditions. The lemon peel is the most effective part of the fruit due to the presence of compounds such as d-limonene which possess anticancer properties and has shown promising results in animal trials. On the other hand, baking soda is an alkalizing ingredient that can regulate your pH levels and prevent the cancer from spreading.
According to scientists, consuming at least 150 gr. of citrus fruits a week is essential for proper health. Citrus fruits are rich in vitamin C and other beneficial compounds which can strengthen your immune system and help you fight different ailments. Studies have shown that lemons can reduce colon cancer by 18%, stomach cancer by 31% and oral cancer by a whopping 51%! Lemons work by inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, which, combined with baking soda's alkalizing properties, is said to work 10 000 times better than Adriamycin, a common chemotherapy drug.
Experts recommend to mix ½ a teaspoon of baking soda with 2 teaspoons of lemon juice and consuming the mixture regularly in order to defeat cancer and neutralize the effects of chemotherapy.

Intraoperative MRI-guided resection of recurrent glioblastoma
Search Medline for
|May 21, 2013
Objective: Intraoperative MRI (iMRI) is an appropriate tool for influencing surgical radicality and outcome of patients with contrast-enhancing brain tumors as shown by a randomized trial. Our own institutional data as well as pooled data from the Neurooncological subspecialty section of the DGNC suggest that the extent of resection also influences the survival of patients with recurrent glioblastoma (rGBM). Our aim was to analyze the clinical results of intraoperative MRI (iMRI) guidance for patients undergoing resection of rGBM.
Method: 25 unselected patients with histologically proven rGBM underwent tumor resection with iMRI guidance. Early postoperative MRI was used to define the extent of resection. Complete resection was defined as absence of any residual contrast enhancement. All patients had adjuvant treatment following surgery.
Results: Intraoperative MRI detected residual contrast-enhancing tissue leading to continued tumor resection in 6 cases (24%). In five patients, residual tumor tissue was deliberately left because of the risk of inducing neurological deficits. A complete tumor resection was finally achieved in 20 patients (80%) and confirmed by early postoperative MRI. The complication rate was acceptably low with only one patient (5%) experiencing a disabling neurological deficit due to surgery. Median overall survival following surgery for rGBM was statistically significantly better for patients undergoing complete (52.6 weeks) vs. incomplete tumor resection (26.0 weeks, P=0.023).
Conclusions: Patients with rGBM undergoing complete resection of contrast-enhancing tumor have a better prognosis than patients with residual tumor. Intraoperative MRI also helps to improve the extent of resection in these patients. Resection of rGBM should be offered to patients with surgically amenable lesions, and the use of an intraoperative resection control is justified in achieving best possible results.

Daily I Ching ~ November 1st
51: Shock
Saturday, Nov 1st, 2014
One hears thunder unexpectedly! First comes fear, then a sharpening of one's vision. Recall a close brush with danger — a falling branch, an automobile accident barely avoided, an escape from a potentially violent confrontation. Such incidents arouse every nerve fiber in your body in a brief wave of terror, but soon, once the danger has passed, give way to a heightened awareness of the world. The same process also occurs with other types of shock — the loss of a job, the sudden departure of a loved one, business failure and so on.
The lasting impact of a major shock can either be stimulating or debilitating, depending upon one's strength of character. The critical factor is the ability to shake off fear, thereby transforming anxiety into a laser-sharp perception of the world around you.
When overtaken by crisis, the wise search their hearts for inner strengths in order to face their life with courage. This often means daring to take an unexpected path — to bounce back quickly and self-confidently after failures, to have faith in the eternal when confronted with death.
We tend to think of shock only in the context of unpleasant events. We can also be jarred, however, by the sudden release of tension that comes with unexpected joy or success. To keep your bearings in the aftershock of either trauma or victory, it is essential that your inner compass be aligned with 'true north', that magnetic force which guides you toward fulfillment of both your deepest desire, and your highest destiny.
For A Deeper Meaning
I-Ching Hexagram 51 – Chen – the Arousing (Shock, Thunder)
the trigram above – CHEN – the Arousing, Thunder
the trigram below – CHEN – the Arousing, Thunder
from The I Ching or Book of Changes by Richard Wilhelm, Cary F. Baynes, Hellmut Wilhelm and C. G. Jung
The hexagram Chen represents the eldest son, who seizes rule with energy and power. A yang line develops below two yin lines and presses upward forcibly. This movement is so violent that it arouses terror. it is symbolized by thunder, which bursts forth from the earth and by its shock causes fear and trembling.
Shock brings success.
Shock comes – oh, oh!
Laughing words – ha, ha!
The shock terrifies for a hundred miles,
And he does not let fall the sacrificial spoon and chalice.
The shock that comes from the manifestation of God within the depths of the earth makes man afraid, but this fear of God is good, for joy and merriment can follow upon it.
When a man has learned within his heart what fear and trembling mean, he is safeguarded against any terror produced by outside influences. Let the thunder roll and spread terror a hundred miles around: he remains so composed and reverent in spirit that the sacrificial rite is not interrupted. This is the spirit that must animate leaders and rulers of men – a profound inner seriousness from which all outer terrors glance off harmlessly.
THunder repeated: the image of SHOCK.
Thus in fear and trembling
The superior man sets his life in order
And examines himself.
The shock of continuing thunder brings fear and trembling. The superior man is always filled with reverence at the manifestation of God; he sets his life in order and searches his heart, lest it harbor any secret opposition to the will of God. Thus reverence is the foundation of true culture.
Nine at the beginning means:
Shock comes – oh, oh!
Then follow laughing words – ha, ha!
Good fortune.
The fear and trembling engendered by shock come to an individual at first in such a way that he sees himself placed at a disadvantage as against others. But this is only transitory. When the ordeal is over, he experiences relief, and thus the very terror he had to endure at the outset brings good fortune in the long run.
Six in the second place means:
Shock comes brining danger.
A hundred thousand times
You lose your treasures
And must climb the nine hills.
Do not go in pursuit of them.
After seven days you will get them back again.
This pictures a situation in which a shock endangers a man and he suffers great losses. Resistance would be contrary to the movement of the time and for this reason unsuccessful. Therefore he must simply retreat to heights inaccessible to the threatening forces of danger. he must accept his loss of property without worrying too much about it. When the time of shock and upheaval that has robbed him of his possessions has passed, he will get back again without going in pursuit of them.
Six in the third place means:
Shock comes and makes on distraught.
If shock spurs to action
One remains free of misfortune.
There are three kinds of shock – the shock of heaven, which is thunder, the shock of fate, and, finally, the shock of the heart. The present hexagram refers less to inner shock than to the shock of fate. In such times of shock, presence of mind is all too easily lost; the individual overlooks all opportunities for action of mutely lets fate take its course. But if he allows the shocks of fate to induce movement within his mind, he will overcome these external blows with little effort.
Nine in the fourth place means:
Shock is mired.
Movement within the mind depends for its success partly on circumstances. If there is neither a resistance that might be vigorously combated, nor yet a yielding that permits of victory – if, instead, everything is tough and inert like mire – movement is crippled.
Six in the fifth place means:
Shock goes hither and thither.
However, nothing at all is lost.
Yet there are things to be done.
This is a case not of a single shock but of repeated shocks with no breathing space between. Nonetheless, the shock causes no loss, because one takes care to stay in the center of movement and in this way to be spared the fate of being helplessly tossed hither and thither.
Six at the top means:
Shock brings ruins and terrified gazing around.
Going ahead brings misfortune.
If it had not yet touched one's own body
but has reached one's neighbor first,
There is no blame.
One's comrades have something to talk about.
When inner shock is at its height, it robs a man of reflection and clarity of vision. In such a state of shock it is of course impossible to act with presence of mind. Then the right thing is to keep still until composure and clarity are restored. But this a man can do only when he himself is not yet infected by the agitation, although its disastrous effects are already visible in those around him. If he withdraws from the affair in time, he remains free of mistakes and injury. But his comrades, who no longer heed any warning, will in their excitement certainly be displeased with him. However, he must not take this into account.

The most recent study of the nonprofit Ethics Resource Center concluded that an investigation process viewed as procedurally fair "substantially increases the chances that reporting employees will accept the [company's] outcome."
Earlier this week, I wrote a post about the research and also spoke with Sue Reisinger at Corporate Counsel about the implications of the research, suggesting that it is time for companies
- to rethink how they handle internal compliance complaints; and
- develop protocols and training curriculums that help translate the precepts of procedural fairness into daily practice.
Tips for Employers
Here are a few communication strategies and practical "how to" recommendations companies can use to increase the likelihood employees will first use internal reporting tools and that the reporting party will accept the results of the company's internal investigation and refrain from raising the concern to third-parties on social media or to the government or adversarial counsel:
- Humanize the reporting experience: Selection of the person(s) who will receive complaints is critical as appearing approachable and accessible is a key component of procedural fairness. Share the bio and picture of the person who will receive compliance reports with company employees. Tell your employees why they can trust this person to receive their complaints and concerns. Ensure that employees can make reports in their native language.
- Explain what you're doing and why: For many employees, making a compliance report can be a traumatic event. The jargon and procedures can be confusing and intimidating and many will fear retaliation. Use simple terms to explain the process and reassure reporting employees that retaliation is prohibited for raising a concern in good faith.
- Manage expectations. If an investigation is warranted, explain how the investigator will be selected and the anticipated timing of the investigation. Establish a process to "check-in" periodically with the reporting employee.
- Carefully select a well-trained and neutral investigator. Research shows whether the reporter trusted the investigator was critical to whether the reporter perceived the investigation as procedurally fair. When communicating with the complaining employee, the accused employee and witnesses, the investigator needs to make eye contact and use body language that conveys respect.
- Close the loop with the reporting employee, accused and any witnesses interviewed. Even in situations where confidentiality concerns preclude the ability to share the results of the investigation, closing the loop with everyone who participated in the process is critical. Closing the loop, gives the opportunity for the company to assure the participants that the company works hard to apply its compliance policies in a consistent manner. One strategy for doing this where confidentiality precludes sharing the actual results any corrective action or the results of the investigation is for the company to provide an overview of the company's neutral, fact-based, and unbiased decision-making process.
- "Market" your reporting and compliance programs. Develop a communication plan and consider periodically sharing high level and appropriately sanitized summaries of compliance investigations and/or the types of numbers of reports being received and resolved. Where appropriate, thank the reporting employee and the employees who participated in the investigation."

I wont feel better until the ps4 I'm getting Friday has a playable version of COD for it. Right now it looks like that will be next year. I see two consoles hooked to my TV in my future.
What makes you think the next COD game would even have the modes you like?
Oh boy.
You know you could simply sell the game and move on to another since your so disgruntled. I hope for your own sake you stopped playing the game.
Of course I quit playing it. Nothing to play. When Activision denies my claim I am taking it to Gamestop and will be happy to get 5 bucks for this garbage.
DUDE!!! CONSIDER YOUR CLAIM DENIED!!!! You have no claim…Did you even bother to read the Warranty Terms? No manufacturer would provide a refund to people that just sucked at playing their game…WOW!!!

Go to craigslist you can probably get 30.00 right now for it.
You know he won't. He'd rather play an unplayable game. He will buy it for ps4 and then cry more.
I am almost willing to bet 5:1 that he is playing it right now.

Writing this novel has been a ten-year journey of research, hard work, conversation, and reflection, especially on the subject of identity. I'm a white American whose own identity was profoundly shaped by moving from New Hampshire to South Korea in 1960, when I was seven years old. Korea, where my parents worked as medical missionaries, was our family's home base for twenty-one years.
I speak fluent conversational Korean, spent my junior year of college at a Korean university, and have returned to Korea many times throughout my adulthood. Korea is "home" to me, even as my connection remains that of an outsider-insider. But prior to this book, my sphere of personal knowledge, experience, and interest in Korea had never included the North. Even when I was a child and teenager in South Korea, the country occupying the other half of the peninsula seemed unknowable, foreign and menacing — a feeling exacerbated by the bellicose threats and posturing of the DPRK, and its 1968 assassination attempt on South Korean President Park Chung-hee.
Ten years ago, a chance interview question about reunification led to the idea for a novel about two American kids on the run in North Korea. I did some reading and daydreaming, but I felt uncertain about my connection to the material until I met Reverend Peter Yoon, a member of the Council on Korean Studies of Michigan State University. In 2007 he had traveled into the DPRK from China by train and had an hour and a half of video footage of the countryside between Sinuiju and Pyongyang. The images were spellbinding, and to my surprise, they were familiar.
Rural North Korea in 2007 — wide plains filled with rice fields, farmers planting in flooded paddies, people pushing carts and riding bicycles, clunky concrete apartment buildings painted pink and blue — looked exactly like the South Korean countryside of the 1960s where I grew up. I realized the DPRK was not unknowable and foreign; despite its government, it was part of a land I knew and loved. Over the years of research and writing that followed, North Korea came into focus more and more as a place of enormous complexity and contradiction, and most of all a place full of real people.
Indeed, contrary to the popular image of a country shrouded in mystery about which we know almost nothing, I've found an extensive amount of information available about the DPRK.

Bioavailability (BA) is a term used in pharmacology and nutritional and environmental sciences. In pharmacology, it refers to the degree and rate at which an administered drug is absorbed by the body's circulatory system, the systemic circulation.

Bioavailability is an essential measurement tool since it determines the correct dosage for non-intravenous administration of a drug. In clinical research trials, the bioavailability of a drug is a key factor to be measured in Phase 1 and Phase 2 trials.

Determining the absolute bioavailability of a drug is done through a  pharmacokinetic study. The plasma drug concentration is plotted against time and measures concentration vs time after intravenous and non-intravenous administration. Non-intravenous applications include oral, rectal, transdermal, subcutaneous and sublingual.

The measurement of bioavailability is represented by the letter f or F if expressed in percent. Relative bioavailability is a measure used to assess bioequivalence (BE) between drug products.

In order to gain FDA approval for a generic drug, the drug sponsor must show a 90 percent confidence interval of its product to that of the branded drug.

Bioavailability is one of the essential tools in pharmaceutical drug development since bioavailability must be considered when calculating dosages for non-intravenous routes of administration based on absorption.

The percentage of the drug absorbed is a measurement of the drug formulation's ability to deliver the drug to the target site.

"Amount absorbed" is conventionally measured by one of two criteria, either the area under the time-plasma concentration curve (AUC) or the total (cumulative) amount of drug excreted in the urine following drug administration," according to the Boston University School of Medicine. "A linear relationship exists between "area under the curve" and dose when the fraction of drug absorbed is independent of dose, and elimination rate (half-life) and volume of distribution are independent of dose and dosage form. Alinearity of the relationship between area under the curve and dose may occur if, for example, the absorption process is a saturable one, or if drug fails to reach the systemic circulation because of, e.g., binding of drug in the intestine or biotransformation in the liver during the drug's first transit through the portal system."

Factors That Affect Bioavailability

When administered by a non-intravaneous route, the bioavailability of a drug varies from person to person. It may be affected by physiological and other factors including whether the drug is taken with other drugs or with or without food, and the presence of a disease that affects the gastrointestinal system or liver function.

Other factors affecting a drug's bioavailability are its physical properties, the drug formulation, such as extended release or immediate release, an individual's circadian rhythm, drug interactions, food interactions, rate of metabolism (the effect of enzyme induction or inhibition by other drugs and foods), health of the gastrointestinal tract, age of the patient, and the disease stage.

When a drug is administered intravenously, it has a bioavailability of 100 percent (F

If a drug is taken orally, it quickly reaches the stomach, dissolves and some of it is absorbed by the small intestine. From the small intestine, it travels to the hepatic portal vein before it reaches the systemic circulation. Some of the factors that may prevent the drug from reaching the systemic circulation are the drug's properties and the patient's physiological state.

A drug such as benzyl penicillin cannot withstand the stomach's low pH which destroys it. Digestive enzymes can destroy insulin and heparin.

Drugs which are highly hydrophobic may not be readily absorbed because they are insoluble in body fluids, while highly hydrophilic drugs – which have an attraction for fluids – cannot cross lipid-rich cell membranes.

For Beirut's young creatives living in a capital of radical contrasts, youth is a time of unique intensity. Finding your place as a designer, stylist, musician, architect, director or producer, male or female, is tough, and climbing the ladder is even tougher. Can you work and create, rebel and be free, force change and even lead in Beirut, right now, today? These up and coming stars don't have all the answers but they won't let that stop them trying.
Meet Beirut's new generation of young creatives, shot up close and personal by one of their own brightest new talents, 23-year-old photographer Myriam Boulos.
Gerges, 28, is a musician in the indie-pop band Mashrou' Leila, currently in the middle of a world tour. He's also a passionate architect. When the band started nearly eight years ago, no one could predict how events would unfold. "Quite naturally we started singing about sensitive subjects like gender, social taboos and unconventional love stories," he says, which may have contributed to them gaining recognition as "the voice of the generation." It is a flattering title that "motivates the band to remain socially and politically engaged." He continues: "Communicating with a vast and varied audience and seeing that the youth respond, relate and react to the lyrics and music is what pushes us to come back to Beirut, to our roots, seeking inspiration and new stories to tell."
What does it mean to be young? "Youth is the appetite for adventure experimentation and discovery, it's the naivety to believe that everything is possible. It is what makes me fearless today. It makes me push my boundaries and pursue my childhood dream of making music." mashrouleila.com
"Constantly adapting to new approaches and different perspectives, that's what youth means," says Ellaik, "which ironically comes with age." The 29-year-old Mar Mikhael resident should know – his debut album Dream Kids Never Sleep has just been released. "You know in the music field, it's often about experience – and not just creative experience – but experience dealing with the industry in general. As you grow older you learn to manage expectations and to take a few blows. That's why it might seem harder when you're young: your enthusiasm will bite you." As to whether he represents his generation, Ellaik is circumspect. "I never thought about it that way. I represent myself first and foremost, but maybe the fact that I belong to a generation makes me represent it automatically."
Where do the kids of Beirut hang out these days? "I can't really say. I have a couple of bars I go to and that's about it. Damn. I sound old already." soundcloud.com/kidfourteen
Hardworking and innovative young TV and freelance video director, Bawab, first made a name for herself with soulful appearances on The Voice and today the 27-year-old is close to launching a brand new album. Growing up she wishes, "I would have known not to worry so much about trying to look older – after all one day you will actually be old." The way she stays young is, "by doing whatever I feel like doing. When you're young you never have to say "No" to anything because it is the time for experimentation. If I could, I would love to stay young forever." Bawab can't say what's influencing Beirut's new up-and-comers because, "truthfully, I'm part of only one clique." She can say this though: "The young people of Beirut are crazy."
On the spirit of Beirut's youth: "Revolutionary in every sense. No one here is accepting or settling for what they have. Everyone is striving for more." @ingridbawab
Singer/songwriter and producer
"I love asking questions," says the 23-year-old Mexican-Lebanese Fiefer who's making some of the most innovative Hip-Hop, Trap and Alternative Pop coming out of Beirut today. Of her new single and video, Jukebox, she says, "It's a commentary about what people expect from you locally – to be a jukebox. That if you pay the right amount of money you will do what's asked of you. That it's not about what you want to offer but what is wanted from you." It's an issue she cares about deeply, "…You can do things differently than that. I'm proud of what I've done. To be able to say I made this because this was my vision, that's real for me. I wrote this, I produced this, I directed this. And it stinks of me."
On living in Beirut? "I'm trying to see things as part of a larger picture in order to see the smaller picture. I ask, 'How can I one day contribute to the country where my mom loves to live?' And I wonder whether I can do that from here. I'm asking."
Art Director/DJ
The first thing Tala Mortada would tell her child self if she could go back in time would be not to be too tough on yourself. "It's hard to be inexperienced but the more you are the master of your trade, the easier it is to get your message across. Some people were taking advantage of my age to get me to work on big projects for free for "exposure," but you learn how to deal with these situations." At 28, with regular gigs across Beirut and forthcoming musical collaborations with the likes of Etyen, that's all changed. Coming of age in a place like Beirut isn't easy but "personally, I guess it means working out how to find happiness and serenity in a loud messed up place."
How do you stay young? "I know 50 year olds who are younger than me. It's all about how you perceive life and how you live it daily." talamortada.com
Creative Director
If you've ever been to one of Beirut's legendary Cotton Candy pop-up club nights you'll have definitely seen Francis (not his real name). The 34-year- old creative director is a founding member of the Cotton Candy events team, as well as a partner at creative agency Interesting Times where he directs advertising concepts designed to appeal to Beirut's youth. That, of course, means living the dream. "I was always one of those kids who just couldn't wait to grow up. I would tell myself something like: Chill dude, you're never gonna grow up. I am Peter Pan." He wishes he was a writer and foresees himself running a psychedelic retreat somewhere, "a sort of retirement home for young people." What does it mean to be young and successful in advertising? "In this field, you have to reinvent yourself on a daily basis. You have to stay young, or get old trying."
On kids today? "In one word, it would have to be 'wasted.' You know sometimes words have two meanings." interestingtimes.me
Muralist/street artist
22-year-old Halwani is a muralist and street artist known for his innovative use of Arabic calligraphy and abstract portraiture. He is seen here before his largest-scale mural of the late Lebanese singer, Sabah, in the heart of Hamra. "It is nearly impossible to represent the voice of a whole generation simply because of the heterogeneity that exists within a whole generation," he says, deliberating on what messages he provides through his work. "This is true of my generation or any other." Yet his murals, both regionally and internationally, make enormous impact on those who witness them. "All I can do is represent my views and perspectives and hope they will echo someone else's views and perspectives."
His approach to art and to life? "Don't hesitate. When you have a plan or a sketch, work until the work is done. Then take a step back to look at things from afar and keep working from there." @yazanhalwani
Illustrator/Visual Artist
At just 26, Badaro-dwelling Merhej has quickly made a name for herself, her work appearing in numerous books and independent publications across Beirut, and is currently working on a new project in the world of fashion. Is it tough to be creative and successful in this city? "I see a lot of incredible creativity around me, but sadly there is a rarity of institutions both governmental and otherwise that appreciate this talent and look to nurture it. Lebanon is driving our talent away or forcing people to be more conservative to survive in our society instead of giving them the means to push new boundaries." Does that include being discriminated against for being young? "Yes, a lot. People nowadays are not used to someone being so accomplished at such a young age – for the more conservative older generation, it's something they are afraid of. But the fact is I could be half your age and know more than you, and someone could be half my age and know more than me."
Any words of wisdom? "Sometimes things seem much worse in your head than in reality." cynthiamerhej.com
Business partners Ghaith Abi Ghanem and Jad Melki, 26 and 27, got their start with the Starch Foundation before setting up their eponymous practice – how does their work represent this generation? "Generations crystallize in hindsight; for now we conceive of our work outside of a specific year or moment, but rather as part of an unfolding process that issues from our collaboration." So what do they think it is that interests the young of Beirut then? "Young people here are mainly interested in experiencing the city around them. We constantly try to discover new areas and infuse life into them whether it is of cultural nature or entertainment. This mélange of both creates an energetic dynamic that attracts the people to interact and get inspired from one another."
What is youth? "Youth to us is exploration, experimentation and even mistakes. It is an eye-opening opportunity that offers a personal understanding about your individuality and strength for you to build on it." ghaithjad.com
Stylist and Creative Director
When Nasr, 24, came back to Beirut last summer it was the revolutionary spirit of the city that caught her eye. "When I was younger, I always said that nothing would make me come back to live here. I waited for the time to be proven wrong and – deep down I guess I was hoping to be proven wrong – and then I was. I met all these new people and I couldn't believe that such a good scene had been growing – it is such an exciting time to be here today. And the garbage crisis was happening and everyone was like, "You decided to stay in Beirut while the garbage crisis was happening?" And I said, "Maybe it's exciting. Maybe I feel like this place is finally alive in a different way." And it's that spirit but in a nostalgic way she incorporates into her work. "I look at the 60s and 70s – where there was a revolution in a different way – a sexual revolution and an ideological one. And I dramatize that."
What advice would you give your younger self ? "To ask more. To be more curious. To not be afraid of needing that. Not to feel fulfilled by what you think you know." pamnasr.com
