This application is a Division of application Ser. No. 12/603,835 filed on Oct. 22, 2009. application Ser. No. 12/603,835 claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application 61/107,851 filed on Oct. 23, 2008.
The present invention claims the priority of provisional application Ser. No. 61/107,851, filed Oct. 23, 2008.
The present invention teaches a number of improved spinal vertebrae support implants. In particular, the present inventions disclose and include an ergonomically fitting and elevating jack insert, such as for insertion between succeeding lower lumbar vertebrae. In combination with selective cushioning implants and/or additional supporting/reinforcing structures established between the vertebra, the elevating jack inserts operate to establish a desired vertical spacing (as well as also optionally providing a further degree of lateral/torsional support) between selected lumbar vertebra. The provision of the insertable/elevatable jack insert also serves to prevent pain to the user (such as resulting from the pinching or contacting of nerves in the spinal column and due to spinal column misalignment, scoliosis and the like. Additional variants include the provision of both fixed and linearly extensible brace supports for installation about succeeding vertebral processes
The prior art is well documented with various examples of spinal column immobilizing and bracing assemblies. A typical example of a spinal brace includes a titanium or like metal plate screwed or otherwise affixed to any plurality of spinal vertebrae and for the purpose of fixing and immobilizing the vertebrae in a specified arrangement and in order to compensate for damage existing in particular along an interface between succeeding vertebrae. The downsides of such existing immobilizing techniques include the discomfort and pain associated with the implanting of the brace, as well as significantly limiting the individual's flexibility of motion.
The present invention discloses a jack insert for establishing a desired spacing between a pair of succeeding lumbar vertebrae having a body including a first extending end for supporting a first location associated with a first selected lumbar vertebrae and a second and opposite extending end for supporting a second spaced apart and opposing location associated with a second successively positioned lumbar vertebrae. Upon pre-positioning the body in an open space established between the vertebrae, an actuating input triggers an internal mechanism which causes the first extending end to displace outwardly relative to the second end and into contacting support with the vertebrae.
Additional features include the body being constructed of a plastic exhibiting at least one different durometer rating, and with the first and second ends further including cup shaped portions separated by an intermediate stem. In another application, the upper and lower halves can each further exhibit an outermost and softest durometer portion and an inner and hardened durometer portion. A key insert location within the stem actuator a length displacement rod to outwardly displace the cup shaped ends.
Other features include the plastic body exhibiting at least one different durometer rating and including an upper half and a lower half nestingly engaged in a closed position. The actuating input can further include a displacement mechanism established between the upper and lower halves and, upon actuating, causing the upper half to outwardly displace. The upper and lower half of the body can each further include a recessed seating configuration for engaging the opposing vertebral locations, with such recessed configurations each including at least one of serrations, ridges and grooves.
Other features include the displacement mechanism exhibiting a stationary rotatable drive screw contained within the lower half, a lift screw arranged in crosswise and upwardly displaceable fashion relative to the drive screw and for upwardly displacing the upper half. One or more inflatable and cushioning inserts can each include a hardened ring exterior and a biasing fluidic interior, such that the insert is supported at a location between the vertebrae additional to a mounting location associated with the jack insert body.
Additional contemplated features include the provision of clips for securing between the vertebrae and to prevent misalignment of the cushioning insert. Also, a mounting screw can extend from the lower body half to engage a lower selected vertebrae.
In another variant, a central supporting jack insert can also be positioned at a central location between the vertebrae, with a pair of auxiliary jack inserts engaging extending process locations of the vertebrae. Such a jack displacement mechanism can include, without limitation, any of a screw lift worm gear, a screw lift bevel gear, a screw lift ratchet, a rotating screw lift, a rack gear pinion lift, and a rack gear ratchet lift. The jack displacement mechanism may also include, without limitation, any of a step slot spring lift, a step ring spring lift, a screw scissor lift, a cam lift ratchet lock, a push in wedge block lift, screw wedge block lift, displaceable wedge or key hole, pump lift air compressor, pump lift filler plastic, pump lift hydraulic, and a balloon ring filter plastic lift.
Additional variants include the provision of spinal brace supports, these providing both upper/lower and side assembleable variants and which upon installation, operate to positionally support successive extending processes associated with adjoining vertebrae. The spinal braces can also be used cooperatively or independently with the various spinal jacks and either can be provided in a fixed or expandable construction.
Reference will now be made to the attaches drawings, when read in combination with the following detailed description, wherein like reference numerals refer to like parts throughout the several views, and in which:
As will be described throughout the following detailed description, the present invention discloses a variety of ergonomically fitting and elevating jack inserts, such as for insertion between succeeding lower lumbar vertebrae but not limited in application to any location associated with a spinal cord. In combination with selective cushioning implants and/or additional supporting/reinforcing structures established between the vertebra, such as including process supporting bracing assemblies, the elevating jack inserts operate to establish a desired vertical and dynamic spacing support (as well as also providing degrees of lateral/torsional support) between specified vertebra.
The provision of the insertable/elevatable jack inserts and process supporting braces as described throughout the succeeding views also serves to prevent pain to the user, such as resulting from the pinching or contacting of nerves in the spinal column and due to spinal column misalignment, scoliosis and the like. Also, and while again not limited to any specific vertebral installation, the various jacks and bracing inserts disclosed herein are particularly applicable to lower lumber vertebrae which will be illustrated in a number of the views provided herein.
As are also known in the prior art, lower lumbar vertebrae are the largest segments of the movable part of the vertebral column, and are characterized by the absence of the a foramen transversarium (this forming a portion of other spinal vertebrae most typically associated with the main thoracic vertebrae). Lower lumbar vertebrae are designated L1 to L5, starting at the top, and are very robust in construction, in that they must support more weight than other vertebrae associated with the spinal column. The lower vertebrae allow significant flexion and extension, moderate lateral flexion (sidebending), and a small degree of rotation. The discs between these vertebrae additionally create a lumbar lordosis (curvature that is concave posteriorly) in the human spine.
Typical vertebra consists of two essential parts: an anterior (front) segment, which is the vertebral body; and a posterior part, otherwise known as the vertebral (or neural) arch which encloses the vertebral foramen. When the vertebrae are articulated with each other, the bodies form a strong pillar for the support of the individuals head and body (or trunk). As is also known, the vertebral foramina (or bone aperture) constitutes a canal for the protection of the medulla spinalis (or spinal column). In between every pair of vertebrae are two apertures, an intervertebral foramina exists, one on either side, for the transmission of the spinal nerves and vessels.
Applying the above general explanation, a description will now follow of the several variants of spinal column jacks and spinal process support braes employed with any inter-vertebral interfaces, including again specifically lower lumbar vertebrae, and which function to provide a desired degree of supported and inter-vertebral spacing between succeeding vertebrae in order to establish dynamic support within limited ranges of motion. Advantages associated with the spinal jacks and braces includes the ability to install and maintain the components in any desired position relative to any number of vertebrae (as well as to install in a much less invasive fashion than associated with vertebral fusing plates of titanium and the like), this further such as to avoid pinching of spinal nerves associated with the spinal column as well as compensating for other structural misalignments in the spine, such as resulting from scoliosis or other deformities.
As will be further described in reference to the numerous succeeding views, a non-limiting objective of the present inventions is in providing for significantly less invasive inter-vertebral support at desired locations. This again, while retaining a desired (usually minor) remaining degree of inter-movable support between the associated vertebrae, allows for much greater range of motion than associated with absolute fusing or fixing techniques further associated with prior art fixed titanium plates and the like.
The above said, and referring now to
The main vertebral body of each lumbar vertebra, further shown at 26 for vertebrae 22 and at 28 for vertebrae 24, exhibits is enlarged relative to the other types of spinal vertebrae (see again

As will be described in additional detail with reference to the succeeding variants of the two piece jack, and upon pre-locating the jack 12 such as in the inter-vertebral process location identified in
As again illustrated in the variant of
In cooperation with the main/central jack 12, the secondary/auxiliary jack supports 14 and 16 are secured between the transverse process portions 18 and 20 of the succeeding lumbar vertebrae 22 and 24. The auxiliary jacks 14 and 16 each include intermediate extending and stem shaped bodies, of which opposite and arcuate (or cup shaped) ends engage associated locations of the selected process portions 18 and 20 of the lumbar vertebrae 22 and 24.
As with the central and main jack 12, each of the auxiliary jacks 14 and 16 includes a key insert location, see at 44 and 46 respectively in
As will also be disclosed in reference to succeeding embodiments throughout the description, it is also envisioned that the main jack 12 and auxiliary jacks 14 and 16 can be anchored to either or both of the succeeding vertebrae by any collection of drill hole and insertable fasteners, ring supports and the like. It is also envisioned that the exposed jack surfaces (such as again the concave patterns 31 and 33 referenced in

Also provided are end disposed and opposing/aligning dovetail seating portions established between intermediate mating locations of the upper 794/796 and lower 798/800 pairs of stems. As shown in
Referring further to
Pairs of lineal end springs, see at 856 and 858 are defined between extending inner guides (at 860 and 862) at projecting upper and lower ends of the inner supporting portions 832 and 834 and which bias against inner defined pockets 864 and 866 formed axially within an interior of each of the stem portions 824, 826, 828 and 830. In this fashion, inward displacement of the initially exposed surface portions 840/842 results in the lineal springs 856/858, such as coil springs, outwardly displacing the upper and lower assembled stems to the location at which the initially embedded and subsequently expanded surface portions 852/854 are permitted to outwardly reseat within the window openings caused by the opposite expanding stems relative to the support provided from inner portions 832 and 834.

Some reasons why A Permanent Solution is the best permanent hair removal clinic for you!
1. Highly trained and skilled Electrologist
2. Clean and professional environment
3. Individualized treatment plan set up just for you
4. Complimentary consultation in a private and confidential setting
5. Conveniently located in downtown Anchorage 6. Excellent results with a proven method of permanent hair removal
At A Permanent Solution, I offer a free consultation so you have the opportunity to have all of your questions answered before you begin.
Q. Is electrolysis really permanent?
A. Yes, it is the only proven method known to medical science which will safely remove hair permanently. Many clients are referred directly by their family physician or a specialist such as a dermatologist, endocrinologist, or plastic surgeon.
Q. Why are a series of treatments necessary?
1.) Stages of hair growth - Hair is in different stages of growth at any given time and electrolysis can only be performed on visible hair.
2.) A large percentage of hair are in the resting telogen stage of growth and I can only treat the hair as it breaks through the surface of the skin.
3.) Hormone imbalance - If there is an imbalance, follicles that previously did not contain hair may begin to produce hair.
Q . What causes the growth of extra hair?
A . Usually it can be traced to simple aging, or a hereditary or glandular disturbance. Some illnesses, operations and medications may also be factors. Normal changes include puberty, pregnancy and menopause.
Q . Will electrolysis cause scarring or permanent damage to my skin?
A . No. Electrolysis, when done correctly by a professional, will not cause any scarring or damage to the skin. Your skin should be just as beautiful after treatment as it was before.
Q . What areas of the body can I have treated?
A . Women: Cheeks, lip, chin, neck, eyebrows, chest, breasts, abdomen, legs, bikini, toes, fingers, hairline, underarms, etc.

Allergic Bronchitis is defined as a swelling of the bronchial tubes because of viruses or obstructions within the tubes that result in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Allergic bronchitis is an illness wherein someone has severe allergies that lead to a bronchial immune system reaction. Doctors can sometimes distinguish it from regular bronchitis by looking for other allergic symptoms in the patient. Allergic bronchitis will usually flare up due to seasonal allergies, so it is often a very short-term condition. In cases in which a person has lingering bronchitis caused by allergies, he will sometimes have to have an allergy test so the doctor can figure out what is causing the problem.
Symptoms of an allergic bronchitis outbreak generally include wheezing and coughing, and sometimes the cough might produce a lot of mucus. Since this condition is caused by an allergy, other air passages in the person's body may also become inflamed, so he may also suffer from nasal congestion problems and other hay fever symptoms. Allergic bronchitis looks so similar to normal hay fever that sometimes it can be dismissed as such in the early stages. Once someone's lungs become more severely effected, it may be more obvious, however.
Home Remedies for Allergic Bronchitis
Oregano Oil
Oregano oil is one of the strongest natural antibiotics on the planet. Its incredible antioxidant capacityoregano oil can be used to treat bronchitis makes it the go-to solution for flu prevention and natural bronchitis treatment. The active ingredient in this herb is carvacrol, a phenol anti-microbial and anti-inflammatory that eases chest congestion and eradicates disease. You can take oregano oil in capsule form (250 milligrams 2 times per day until symptoms subside) or liquid form. In liquid form, use 5-10 drops of pure oregano oil in a four-ounce glass of water twice per day until symptoms subside. Always use a straw to drink pure oregano oil even in water as the pure oil can burn your lips.
Turmeric Powder
Bronchitis is basically inflammation in the lungs. Turmeric is really a powerful and gentle anti-inflammatory. Simply mix two tablespoons turmeric in a glass of milk at night, and have your child drink it. Body fat in the milk amplifies the effectiveness of turmeric and also helps ease your child to sleep.
Information presented by Carrie Cross, a health specialist, via LiveStrong suggests that garlic is also a viable option for treating bronchitis. Garlic contains a compound known as allicin, which helps reduce inflammation and fight infection. The herb also contains nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin B as well as copper, iron, calcium, and selenium. Take 4 grams of minced garlic by mouth a day.
Onion is another powerful natural antibiotic you can use to treat your bronchitis. Chop up a bit of organic onion and mix it with raw honey. For added benefit, mix in cayenne pepper and oregano leaves. Swallow, don't chew the mixture. Use twice per day until symptoms subside.
Chamomile is anti-inflammatory in nature and hence good for inflammatory symptoms like this of bronchitis. Chamomile tea could be interspersed with green tea for much better results. It is also very soothing helping in relaxing as well when you recuperate.
The Medical Center also suggests using Echinacea to help prevent and treat respiratory issues. Echinacea helps support your immune system and fights infection to treat bronchitis and help prevent further development of the condition. You should take 300mg of Echinacea 3 times a day for the biggest health benefit.

When it's fine on Christmas Day we often go to Dunraven Castle at Southerndown in the Vale of Glamorgan to eat pâté and pickle sandwiches in the walled garden – our main meal of roast beef and Brussels sprouts is in the evening. This year the weather was good, with a cold, brisk wind that kept the cloudy sky interesting. (more…)

Throughout 2010 I am revisiting the little green nature book that accompanied my childhood and trying to tick off the plants and animals featured in its monthly sketchbook pages. I'm enjoying the journey – only one month to go now…
The book is "Wild Life Through the Year" by Richard Morse and it was published in 1942. You can read about earlier months here.
November 2010 in South Wales has felt very much like a bridge between autumn and winter. There have been clear, sunny days starting with a frost, heavy rain, strong winds and at the end of the month we are in the middle of an Arctic snap with below-freezing temperatures – we even had snow on November 27 (see my pictures here).
Nearly all the autumn leaves have fallen by the end of the month, with (more…)

During the past week, I attended E-volution 2011, an education and technology conference held at the University of Wyoming. At this conference, I had the opportunity to see how skilled instructors were using technology in their classrooms. One of the technologies demonstrated was Second Life, a virtual environment. I have used Second Life to attend conferences, but I really never used it as a focused educational tool. Rachel Watson, a lecturer for Molecular Biology at the University of Wyoming, and Mark Atkinson, a graduate student at the University of Wyoming presented interesting and powerful ways for using Second Life as an instructional tool.
Atkinson, who is also a director for the Wyoming Small Business Development Center, demonstrated how he used Second Life to conduct a staff retreat. He explained the steps he used to prepare staff to conduct a retreat in Second Life, activities to make staff comfortable, and the results of the event. Lots of great ideas.
Watson, who also posts to the blog "A Whole New World for Teaching and Learning," uses Second Life to hold office hours and walk students through molecules and cell structures. It was fascinating to look at various genome structures and cells. In one case, she "flew" into a cell to examine the various pieces. She has developed a collection of Second Life locations that focus on her discipline and personal interests. One of the more powerful details Watson presented was her Educational Possibilities in Second Life – a table summary. This is a great list of ideas for how to use Second Life in education.
After looking at their use of Second Life, I became excited and started to explore Second Life more closely. I wanted to put together a collection of useful sites related to Aerospace Education to help my Civil Air Patrol cadets. As a result of my explorations, this is what I have put together:
- Daden Apollo Tranquility Base – An educational simulation of the Apollo 11 Tranquility Base landing site.

29 charges
A landscaper who allegedly burglarized 29 homes between December 2015 and last month has been remanded to HMP Dodds.
Shaquielle Alonza Payne of Charnocks, Christ Church is accused of breaking and entering 16 houses in the District 'B' area and another 13 in District 'C' over the more than one-year period.
The 23-year-old who appeared before Chief Magistrate Christopher Birch in the St Matthais Magistrates' Court today, denied all District 'C' charges, but he was not required to plead to the District 'B" matters as those will be dealt with by the magistrate in charge of that jurisdiction.
In the District 'B' area, Payne allegedly entered the homes of Judith-Ann Gilkes, Alex Whitehead, Jacqueline Devonish, Michael King, Vishal Kumar, Patrick Moore, Alston Romeo, Janice Samuel, Keith Brathwaite, Marriet Blackman, Vinla Denny, Jeffrey McClean, Dondre Trotman and Tamara Straker and stole a range of items including electronics, travel documents, clothes, jewelry, weedwackers and beverages worth over $67,000.
It is also alleged that Payne burglarized the homes of Guntram Hospes, Shawhay Lorde, Connie Wheatley, Wayne Blades, Michael Whitworth, Clovine Price, Carol Sands, Christian Seman, Obed Greenidge, John Small and Sean Buckley, and stole over $32,000 in items. The residences of Small and Buckley were broken into twice.
Police prosecutor Station Sergeant Azel Skeete objected to bail because of the nature and seriousness of the offences and because the accused was jointly charged with two other men.
He also argued that Payne's "habitual nature" and "propensity" for such offences must be taken into account.
"Persons have the right to secure, leave and come back to find their hard earned property," Skeete submitted, adding that the accused "must be protected from society and society from him".
The prosecutor went on to say that the Crown feared that if Payne was granted bail, he would "continue along this path".
However, defence attorney Kamisha Benjamin told the chief magistrate that Payne was not known to any of the courts in the island and had no previous convictions, and the prosecutor's argument about his propensity for such offences therefore had no weight.
"He pleaded not guilty and is innocent until tried and tested in this court to prove otherwise," she argued, even as she pointed out that the Crown's representative had made no mention of being fearful that her client would either abscond if granted bail or interfere with witnesses.
"While these are serious accusations, my client maintains his innocence," Benjamin added.
After weighing the arguments from both sides, Magistrate Birch remanded Payne into custody.
He will appear in the District 'B' court on March 1 and District 'C' on March 20.

The Black Unicorn
(Critical Survey of Contemporary Fiction)
Landover, a magical kingdom brimming with fairies, trolls, dragons, and witches, is ruled by the passionate and courageous Ben Holiday, a former Chicago attorney who has purchased this wondrous world from Meeks. Meeks, half brother to Questor Thews, has sold Landover to various would-be kings, but each time his command of the black arts has forced the buyer to return the kingdom and forfeit the one-million dollar buying price. That is, until Holiday purchases it. Ben befriends Questor and, through the power bestowed upon him by a medallion--the key to the land's magic and the harness of the Paladin (an unbeatable armored champion and Holiday's alter ego)--manages to defeat Meeks, at least temporarily.
Meeks is not a wizard to be trifled with, however, and he comes upon the secret of the black unicorn, the highest magic of the land. Thus he uses the unwitting Holiday and company to do his bidding. It is only during a final scene in which Meeks is confronted by the sylph Willow, Holiday's ragtag band, and the majestic unicorn that the evil conjurer loses his prize. He is defeated, and the family of unicorns trapped within the books of magic are released. Readers are set up for a potential sequel when Willow muses that she will someday bear Holiday's child.
Brooks borrows heavily from several sources, including Lewis Carroll's ALICE IN WONDERLAND, Stephen Donaldson's Thomas Covenant series, and, most notably, J.R.R. Tolkien's LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy. Brooks's prose flows easily, but, for those seriously interested in the realm of fantasy, THE BLACK UNICORN may serve as little more than an in-flight or rainy-day diversion.

How does cancer develop in humans?cancer through point mutation.
- print Print
- list Cite
A point mutation is also called a single base substitution. A replacement of a base nucleotide with another one occurs. It can also mean that a single base is inserted or deleted. This type of mutation can occur spontaneously during DNA replication. It causes the DNA sequence to change and therefore the amino acid sequence in a protein may change resulting in a defective and possibly non-functional protein. Mutagenic agents can increase the chance of this occurring including X-Rays, U.V. radiation, chemicals, heat, environmental changes. If a mutation occurs in a key regulatory gene such as a tumor suppressor gene or a proto-oncogene, unregulated cell division can occur, resulting in cancer. These mutations can usually be repaired by DNA repair mechanisms, however, over time and as people age, the exposure to mutagenic agents and changes that could accumulate in a cell's DNA, could lead to a greater likelihood of cancer occurring in an individual.
when the cells of body divides to form an abnormal mass of cells called a tomor which invades and destroy neighbouring tissue but all tumors are not cancerious.two major classes of genes contribute to causing cancer.these are oncogenes and tumor supressing genes.oncogenes must be activated and tumor supressor gene must be inactivated to initiate cancer.
when X-Rays passes through human body in few cases break down the sequence of DNA this breakage of sequence leads to cancer.

This week I'm part of the Holiday Made Easy Series with several other bloggers sharing a full weeks worth of recipes, drinks, and crafts. For the first day of Holiday Made Easy, we are bringing you recipes. With that, I thought, what better way to make your holiday a little simpler than making an easy and delicious, homemade cranberry sauce, that has only three ingredients?
For the holiday season, one of our family's traditions is that we always have cranberry sauce. We have cranberry sauce with Thanksgiving and for Christmas dinner. Our family also has it for what seems like every day in between the holidays too. For years, we had been that family with the cranberry sauce that looks like it's still in the can. We all made jokes about it rolling off the plate & down onto the floor and away it would go. However, several years ago, we started making our own homemade cranberry sauce and what a difference. This is about as natural as it can get with just three ingredients. This cranberry sauce is the perfect combination of tartness and sweetness. The best thing that I like is that you can make this recipe a day or two in advance and refrigerate it. I have also frozen this cranberry sauce too and you'd never have known it.
3-Ingredient Cranberry Sauce Recipe:
- (1) 12 oz Bag of Cranberries
- 3/4 Cup of Sugar
- 3/4 Orange Juice
Directions: Put rinsed cranberries, sugar, and orange juice in a medium size pot. I used our 4 quart size. Mix it with a spatula. Bring them to a boil. Once you hear and see the berries popping, remove them from the stove. Let the cranberries cool for a little bit. Next, mash the cranberries with a potato masher till they are well mashed. Put them in a container and refrigerate untill chilled. Seving Amount: 10-12 (Varies depending on serving size. But, I will tell you it makes quite a bit!)
Make sure to check out the other Stress Free Recipes That Make You Look Good from the wonderful ladies below. These recipes are sure to be helpful and make your holidays a little less hectic!

I will not be at all original today. I was so intrigued by a compilation of announcements by the National Economic Ministry (Nemzetgazdasági Minisztérium) from January to December that I thought I would share the list. I really want to be the bearer of good news.
The cartoon below illustrates how at least some Hungarians feel about the government's communication.
First you have to exercise self-criticism (see 2/4 entry)
They have definite ideas about Viktor Orbán's truthfulness as well. One ought to read these success stories in that light.
January 14. The New Széchenyi Plan will be the answer to the challenges facing the country and it will ensure sustainable economic growth.
January 24. There will be great opportunities for Hungarian companies in Sri Lanka.
February 4. We expect self-criticism from the IMF. Its economists were completely wrong about the numbers in the 2010 budget. In addition, they called the liquidation of private pension funds "nationalization" when 97% of investors in these funds decided to switch to the state pension fund on their own volition.
February 9. More people want to work in Hungary.
March 4. Close to 700,000 families enjoy the advantages of the new system of taxation.
March 11. A new era for greater economic growth began in Hungary.
April 6. 17,500 new jobs in the auto industry thanks to the decisions of the government.
April 8. Hungary is on the road to success. The Hungarian reforms are in accord with the recommendations of the OECD.
April 18. The Germans appreciate the Hungarian government's efforts at reform.
April 28. 250 new jobs in Ózd.
May 4. Stronger ties with South America.
May 13. Here is the turning point. Hungarian economic growth at a four-year high.
May 18. The number of jobs in the private sector has been growing rapidly.
May 31. Increase in the manufacturing industry. Economic growth accelerates.
June 2. Record trade surplus. Rapidly growing exports.
June 3. New jobs will be created as a result of negotiations between the government and Jabil Circuit Kft. in Tiaszaújváros.
June 8. Widening economic relations with Indonesia.
June 15. Hungarian industry performed best in the region.
June 17. The number of employed grew again.
June 27. Strategic opening toward Saudi Arabia.
June 30. Record trade surplus. Change in foreign trade relations.
July 7. We managed to avoid bankruptcy thanks to our successful policies. It took only a year to bring the country back from the edge of bankruptcy.
July 14. It will be easier from September on. The administrative burdens of companies will decrease. The changes will result in a 400 billion forints savings.
July 26. Highest monthly growth recorded since January in the retail trade.
July 28. More and more people are working. The rate of employment is 55.8%.
August 3. Dynamically growing trade surplus.
August 19. The number of workers in the private sector has grown. Salaries are also growing.
August 24. In the region the Hungarian retail trade has slowed the least.
August 24. Hungary's falling behind the European Union average has stopped.
August 29. The number of employed people in Hungary is steadily growing.
August 31. In one year the investment in the manufacturing industry has grown by 20%.
September 2. Record surplus in foreign trade transactions in the first six months.
September 15. Growth in industrial production in every region of the country.
September 28. Employment has been dynamically growing all through the year.
October 3. Again a record surplus in foreign trade.
October 18. The government significantly lowered the country's sovereign debt.
October 21. Next year's deficit projections are well established and can be achieved.
October 28. The tendency is unbroken: in the last year employment has been growing.
November 3. A significant positive change in foreign trade.
November 10. Hungary won the first battle. A prognosis by the European Council that Hungary's deficit will be less than 3%.
November 11. The government disagrees with the opinions of Fitch. The 2012 budget figures will be held and sovereign debt will be lowered.
November 17. Hungary at the turning point. In the last year and a half we put the Hungarian economy on new foundations. To this end we had to sever all the old types of cooperation that restricted our economic independence. Now we have achieved this goal. The age of renewal is closed and the era of growth has arrived.
On the same day the government announced that it is turning to the IMF to negotiate a "safety net."
November 18. Wages have increased again.
November 25. Moody's evaluation of the Hungarian economy lacks any basis. Hungary considers Moody's move part of a concerted financial attack on the country.

A CEO friend recently told me that he asked three people to leave his company over the last few months. After they were terminated, there was a marked improvement in the overall morale and attitude of the other employees.
I had met these people in the past. Of the three, two were rats and one was a snake. Rats and snakes can wreak havoc with your culture and your strategy.
Introducing The Creatures…
Corporate rats are different from corporate snakes; however, both can be found in all levels of any organization, from significant investors to the rank and file employees.
Rats are Enablers. Even though you may see one or two at a time, there are usually multiple rats living together, many hidden from sight, gnawing and chewing on your culture day in and day out. If your company has rats, the situation has reached a stage where extermination can be difficult, but not impossible. Rats have a direct or indirect role in maintaining the status quo. If you are a change agent and are struggling to make your changes stick, perhaps your rat(s) are the ones resisting or blocking your efforts. Maybe they perceive you to be an intruder; the 'locals' don't fancy having outsiders mess around with their culture.

This is a review of the ALPS Mountaineering Lynx tent.
The Alps Mountaineering Lynx 1 person tent is both lightweight and protective, meaning it can be used for backpacking in from the brisk spring through rainy autumns.
Alps Mountaineering built the tent's walls partially out of mesh to bring the summer breezes in, the fly out of polyester for UV-protection, and the floor out of PU-coated taffeta for abrasion- and water-resistance. Two poles provide a quick and simple setup as well as sufficient head space, and one vestibule gives you plenty of room for your backpacking gear. Alps Mountaineering also included a gear loft, mesh storage pockets, aluminum stakes, guy lines, and repair swatches for your convenience.
- Polyester taffeta
Free standing, two pole design w/7000 Series aluminum poles
- Easy assembly with pole clips
- 75D 185T polyester fly resists UV damage and stays taut
Factory sealed fly and floor seams for best weather protection
- 75D 185T Poly taffeta floor w/2000mm coating
- Extra-large #8 zippers
Vestibule for gear storage and extra weather protection
- Weatherproof fly buckles on for maximum adjustability and protection
Half mesh walls increase ventilation
- Mesh Storage Pockets
- Gear Loft
- 7075 Aluminum Stakes and Guy Ropes included
Base Size: 7'6″ x 2'8″
- Center Height: 3′
- Tent Area: 20 square feet
- Total Weight: 3 pounds 15 ounces
- Packed Size: 6″ x 17.5″
If you're looking for a one person tent for backpacking, you'll want to consider the Alps Mountaineering Lynx.
This one person tent weighs just 3 pounds, 15 ounces, which makes it a good weight for backpacking.
It also packs up to be about 6 by 18 inches, meaning it fits into the tent spot on your backpack or could even go inside your backpack.
The tent is made of all high quality materials and the construction seems to be really good. You may not even need a footprint, although I would still recommend one if only to keep the tent in good condition longer.
The two pole design makes this easy to setup. The aluminum poles are high quality yet lightweight. I think they are preferable to plastic (the other lightweight option).
In terms of size, the tent is about 7 and a half feet long and 3 feet tall. That should be enough room for most people. It at least gives me the sense that you have some space and aren't being suffocated.
Plenty of reviewers can attest to this tent's weather proofing. It has been used in all types of weather, including rain storms, snow storms, and wind storms. There are some moisture issues, as with all tents like this. If you keep a window open, you won't wake up as sticky.
Overall, I recommend the Alps Mountaineering Lynx. The tent is lightweight, easy to use, of high quality, and it doesn't cost as much as some other backpacking tents.

ZURICH, Feb 8 (Reuters) - Power technology and automation group ABB reported an end to its almost two-year decline in order intake by posting a small increase in new business on Wednesday and forecast that 2017 would likely be dominated by market uncertainty.
The maker of products ranging from transformers to industrial robots said orders -- an indicator of future profit -- increased 0.2 percent to $8.277 billion in the three months ended Dec. 31 from the same period a year earlier.
The figure, which beat the average estimate of $8.129 billion in a Reuters poll of analysts, marked an improvement from the $7.53 billion in the previous quarter. That marked ABB's weakest period for orders in nearly seven years, when customers waited on the sidelines while ABB decided whether to keep its power grids business.

I had to delve into my childhood fandoms: Indiana Jones and Jurassic ParkGlad that you sampled a crossover. Yes, they are a challenge in themselves to write. The thing most authors miss is that they can't bring both (or all) of the series together. They make it too big of a story and choke on the details. And then there's the deal of the characters learning each other's universes (at least in how their partner(s) in the tale operates). Finally, after all of that, the writer has to introduce each character to the audience because the reader might be coming from one fandom, another one or frankly might be new to each one altogether.
Historical Perspectives on Increased Exposure to Velociraptors by escritoireazul
This had all of my favorite Jurassic Park characters in the aftermath of Jurassic Park III where Alan and Billy try to move on and heal. Ellie is there for them and remains a great friend. It's sweet and sad but excellent.
Indiana Jones and The Forgotten Jedi Treasure by Santheum
A crossover! A funny one too without being ridiculous as some crossovers are. Indiana Jones is in the Star Wars world doing what Indiana Jones does best when he stumbles across a meddling and mysterious 'kid'. This is a wip with one chapter. It's supposed to become romantic but the first chapter has enough gen to keep me happy. Very entertaining.
Anyhow that was a very intriguing comment you made. Just wanted to give you kudos and maybe embellish it a bit.

VIDEO: Top dollar US TV personality sent home over sexual harassment claims
One of the highest paid media personalities in the US, Bill O'Reily has finally quit Fox News after the network announced Thursday that it was cutting ties with him.
His contract was severed after mounting allegations of sexual harassment and inappropriate behavior forced the mother company -Fox 2oth Century to end his program, 'The O'Reilly Factor,' which aired at prime time on week days.
O'Reily, who has reportedly been earning over 20 million dollars a year is without a doubt the biggest star in Fox Network's its 20-year history.
"After a thorough and careful review of the allegations," parent company 21st Century Fox said in a statement, "the company and Bill O'Reilly have agreed that Bill O'Reilly will not be returning to the Fox News Channel," read as statement released by Fox.
O'Reilly's has had a long reign as the top-rated host in cable news.
On April 1st, The New York Times reported that the embattled talk show host or Fox had paid $13 million to settle five cases against him alleging sexual or other harassment.
Soon after, more than 50 advertisers withdrew from his prime-time show.
Fox News reported that 21st Century Fox thereafter asked a law firm to investigate a complaint from a woman who claimed that O'Reilly "disinvited" her from his show after she turned down his invitation to visit his hotel room.
On Wednesday, Access Hollywood reported that O'Reily had earned Fox over $400 million in a span of few years.
O'Reilly received the news of the termination of his contract while in Vatican, where, according to aphotoi posted by Reuters, he h]met with Pope Francis. Below is a copy of the letter sent to him by the Mr Rupert Murdoch, the owner of the Fox Company.
The letter terminating the network's most popular host in a letter on Wednesday afternoon was also signed by his two sons, Lachlan and James, who reportedly pressured their dad to take the action.
Soon after an unapologetic O'Reilly sent out the following message:
'Over the past 20 years at Fox News, I have been extremely proud to launch and lead one of the most successful news programs in history, which has consistently informed and entertained millions of Americans and significantly contributed to building Fox into the dominant news network in television.
'It is tremendously disheartening that we part ways due to completely unfounded claims. But that is the unfortunate reality many of us in the public eye must live with today.
'I will always look back at my time at Fox with great pride in the unprecedented success we achieved and with my deepest gratitude to all my dedicated viewers.
'I wish only the best for Fox News channel.'
Who is Bill O'Reilly?
William James "Bill" O'Reilly Jr hosted the political commentary program The O'Reilly Factor on Fox News (1996–2017). During the late 1970s and 1980s, he worked as a news reporter for various local television stations in the United States and eventually for CBS News and ABC News. He anchored the news magazine program Inside Edition (1989–1995).
O'Reilly is widely considered a conservative commentator, although some of his positions diverge from conservative orthodoxy. He is registered as a member of the Independence Party of New York and was formerly registered as a Republican. He is the author of over a dozen books and hosted The Radio Factor (2002–2009).

solidEquilibriumDisplacementFoam fails with nu>0
Dear all,
solidEquilibriumDisplacementFoam failed with the error given at the bottom of the message. The case is based on the beamEndLoad tutorial case provided with the OpenFOAM distribution for solidEquilibriumDisplacementFoam. I changed the case from a 2D to a 3D case by setting planeStress=no in mechanicalProperties and adding boundary conditions for the two additional surfaces. I also increased the mesh resolution to 60x10x10.
With nu=0 (as in the tutorial case), I get a maximum displacement of 0,0053 that is reasonably close to the value of 0,0054 that I get from an analytical solution. However, by just setting nu=0.3 the solver fails with an exception. During the run, the kinetic power and energy that are output every 5th iteration, grow excessively. I assume that the failure is related to this behaviour: For a test, I also set nu=1e-03. In this case, the solver does not fail, but kinetic power and energy still grow unreasonably high (kineticPower > 1e+20 after the last iteration).
Are there any other parameters that have to be adapted for nu>0?
Is there a working example with nu>0 for a 3D-case with solidEquilibriumDisplacementFoam?
Kind regards,

Hi Bernd,
I face the same problem as you described.
Have you solved this problem?
Thanks a lot in advance!
I did not find any solution for this problem. The method implemented in solidEquilibriumDisplacementFoam is described in Jasak, Weller "Application of the finite volume method and unstructured meshes to linear elasticity" (Int. J. Numer. Meth. Engng. 2000; 48:267-287). As can be seen on p. 267, the parameter lambda is proportional to nu. If nu is zero, one term in the governing equation is always zero. I think this is the deeper reason why OpenFOAM always fails for nu>0. My conclusion was that solidEquilibriumDisplacementFoam is therefore unfit for real world problems of structural analysis and I have stopped evaluating or using OpenFOAM.
Kind regards,

Singer blasts her ex and the media in epic Twitter rant
Iggy Azalea is not a happy camper.
While we're still getting over the shock of finding out about the (false) marriage claim by her former manager, Hefe Wine, the Work singer is making her feelings about the story known!
Having since denied the claims that she is married, Iggy went on to blast Wine and entertainment website TMZ for spreading the story.
Iggy took to Twitter to share her feelings on the matter, writing; "TMZ just asked me at the airport if I think my 'common law marriage' claim is a money grab. Yes, but it's TMZ's money he's [Wine] grabbing. Lol."
But she didn't hide her anger either, adding: "Press don't care that a story is clearly false, they just want you to click it. So they're happy to pay, and this person continues to make $."
Iggy finished her rant by tweeting: "The whole cycle is stupid and a waste of my time."
TMZ broke the story this morning, in which Wine claimed that he intended to divorce Iggy – and pocket the cash that would inevitably come with such a legal action.
Well, Iggy has put Wine – and TMZ – firmly in their place!

Tribe of Many Colors: Paintings by Prodip
Prodip is a Hong-Kong based painter, illustrator and graphic designer. Best known as the bassist of the controversial Cantonese hip hop group LMF, Prodip studied graphic design and has combined a career in music with experimental art. From the 1980s, working across media, Prodip designed underground concert posters, flyers and CD covers, later producing striking visuals for leading international and local brands, including 55DSL, OBEY and Fingercroxx. His artwork is peopled with tribes of hybrid aliens and draws on traditions of street art, cartoons, and pop subcultures that challenge the boundaries of conventional art-making. Prodip's distinctive figurative paintings and landscapes – rendered in acrylic on canvas, wood and paper – have a strong narrative dimension, celebrating the transformative possibilities of myth and Prodip's longstanding interest in the UFO phenomenon, abduction, and conspiracy. As the continuation of a project to explore extraterrestrial intelligence, witness cases, UFO sightings and cult groups, which he had begun in 2002, Prodip published Project After Dark (Hong Kong: Kubrick, 2009), a volume of his collected artwork.
Prodip has exhibited in the group show Metal Mad at Giant Robot New York (2010), and in 2011 he was commissioned to produce an art piece for the Amnesty x HK Honey exhibition, marking Amnesty International's fiftieth anniversary.
Exhibiting in the charming 100 year old annex out-house at the Hong Kong Musuem of Medical Sciences, Tribe of Many Colors was Prodip's first solo exhibition of paintings in June 2011. Over 25 works were displayed, showcasing his visions and explorations of the extraterrestrial world, most of them never seen publicly before.


text: Hello, I may have an opportunity to join one of the ORION Implementation Teams. I was wondering if there is anyone who is currently on one of the teams that could share some insight about the job. Do you like it? What are the main responsibilities, challenges, and demands? Where do you see yourself at UPS once your work on the team is over? How many hours do you work a week? Are you always home for the weekend? What kind of accommodations does UPS provide when traveling? Will I have my own hotel room? Meal expenses? How many people are on a team? Anything else I should know? ....as you can see, I have lots of questions. I am currently a part time OMS so the ORION Implementation Team would seem like a good move considering it would offer me full time hours and a pay raise. The biggest challenge would obviously be the time away from home since I do have a family. Good thing apple invented facetime! So before I make a decision I would like to know as much about the job itself as possible. Any information you can share will be much appreciated. Thanks!

Transformers Prime: The Game is a video game developed by Altron Corporation and NOW Production for the Wii, Wii U, Nintendo DS, and Nintendo 3DS platforms. This game focuses on the events of season 2 of Transformers: Prime cartoon, and involves the Autobots and Decepticons battling over a mysterious meteorite made of Dark Energon.
It's being published by Activision. This game got released on October 30,2012 for the NDS, N3DS, and the Wii and on November 18 for the Wii U.
The Decepticons discovered a large meteorite that contains Dark Energon. It is hooked up with The Nemesis. The Autobots have located the Dark Energon source and was almost successful in Megatron's plan, but he had a back up plan. Optimus dealt with his back up plan, succeeding and dealt with Megatron, but Megatron retreated. As soon as the Autobots tried to return to base, the meteorite broke up, sending the Autobots towards Earth, along with a piece of the meteorite with Thunderwings in it, which Megatron wants to use to defeat the Autobots.
Characters Edit
- Despite being around the time of Season 2 according to a producer at Activision, it is currently unknown why Smokescreen or Wheeljack were not in the game.
- Dreadwing, Starscream, and Airachnid appear together in the game, but not in the tv show.
- Thunderwing is made up of dark energon, very similar to Unicron in the show. The final Thunderwing battle zone is a volcanic area, also very similar to the beginning where Optimus fights Megatron of One Shall Rise, Part 1.

A friend sent me a link in which Lawrence O'Donnell seems to be under the impression that Libertarianism requires having no opinion on the morality of sex —or worse: that it requires a liberal inclination regarding the morality of sex. He quotes Penn Jilette and other libertarians (I count myself among them) who subscribe to the idea that "anything goes" regarding citizens' liberties surrounding consensual sexual acts. He then labels Ron Paul a fake libertarian because he is of the opinion that sex for pleasure is immoral (thus, according to Paul, the demand for the contraceptive pill is the product of immorality in our society). Apparently, disagreeing with Penn Jilette on the morality of sex somehow contradicts libertarian ideas, according to O'donnell's reasoning. Lawrence O'Donnell is, like a lot of people —many self-described libertarians included, I'm sure—, unequivocally wrong about this.
Seeking to further regulate and restrict the use of the pill would make Paul less of a libertarian, that's for sure, but having an opinion that people's use of the pill is immoral has no bearing on whether he is a libertarian or not. Libertarianism has nothing to say about personal moral convictions beyond that they should be kept out of government policy, because failing to do so would result in government intervention in the private lives of citizens, which is unbecoming of a free society. It defuses moral arguments by rendering them irrelevant to discussions about government. It doesn't matter to me that many self-described libertarians are extremely religious, socially conservative, and anti-science; it matters to me that, by virtue of the political ideology they claim to subscribe to, they do not wish for government to push those personal values onto me through policy.
Yet the Lawrence O'Donnells of the world often use licentiousness as a straw man in place of libertarianism. Namely, they portray libertarians as necessarily having to subscribe to liberal moral values because they believe government should not impose on the private lives of citizens. It's a strage sort of reasoning, if you think about it: "if you believe that government should not restrict my liberties regarding sex, then you must share my views on sex", and I suspect this is due to their inability to separate political ideology from personal moral convictions. They can't process a person willing to defend their rights to lead their lives however they wish while being opposed their lifestyle, because they themselves are incapable of making such a distinction between what they believe in for themselves and what they believe in for everybody else.
To put it succinctly: they don't expect anybody to respect and disagree at the same time because they cannot —or refuse to— do it.
This idea that we can —or should— only support government leaders who share our moral convictions (or even associate ourselves only with private citizens who do the same, which a lot of people seem to do these days) leads to polarization, an us-vs-them mentality and politics of outrage. It is the product of a worldview in which we are right and there is no place for the others (who are wrong), no chance for question, and no gray areas in between. It is the product of control-minded individuals who wish to make it their business to examine, mischaracterize and question other people's morality.
And their rhetoric reflects this. People like Lawrence O'Donnell who make a point of examining conservative moral convictions and painting them as inherently evil or wrong, as if it was anybody's business to begin with, are no better than the Santorums of the world. These people —both on the left and the right— wish to make a point that other people's views on subjective and personal matters are wrong, and that this wrongness needs to be addressed in a way that demonstrates the moral superiority of their own views. They believe the only world worth working towards is one where eventually their personal beliefs reign over the land.
This is dogma, and it should have no place in political discourse.

Been a long time since we did a dagger, so let's break out this badass stabby stick, just recently seen in the Sunwell Plateau.
Name: Crux of the Apocalypse (Wowhead, Thottbot, Wowdb)
Type: Epic One-hand Dagger
Damage/Speed: 164-247/1.80 (114.2 DPS)
- +18 Agility, +15 Stamina, which makes this a nice weapon for either Hunters or Rogues. Hunters will probably say it's best for them, and Rogues will probably say they deserve it, but no matter who's getting this weapon, it's top of the line period. Just look where it drops from.
- Red socket (perfect for a Subtle or Bright Crimson Spinel), +4 attack power bonus
- Improves haste rating by 27 and attack power by 56. No matter how you look at it, this is a very, very nice dagger.
- Just in case you're not up on your Latin, crux means cross, though it's also picked up another meaning in English as central or critical point. Either way, whenever you're stabbing someone with a central symbol of the Apocalypse, they're going to feel it.
Getting Rid of It: You won't -- at least not until most of the way through Wrath of the Lich King. But when do you sell it, a vendor will give you 15g 52s 99c for it, or you can disenchant it into a Void Crystal.
