In the spring of 2005, cardiologist Barbara Natterson-Horowitz was called to consult on an unusual patient: an Emperor tamarin at the Los Angeles Zoo. While examining the tiny monkey's sick heart, she learned that wild animals can die of a form of cardiac arrest brought on by extreme emotional stress. It was a syndrome identical to a human condition but one that veterinarians called by a different name and treated in innovative ways.
This remarkable medical parallel launched Natterson-Horowitz on a journey of discovery that reshaped her entire approach to medicine. She began to search for other connections between the human and animal worlds: Do animals get breast cancer, anxiety-induced fainting spells, sexually transmitted diseases? Do they suffer from obsessive-compulsive disorder, bulimia, addiction?
The answers were astonishing. Dinosaurs suffered from brain cancer. Koalas catch chlamydia. Reindeer seek narcotic escape in hallucinogenic mushrooms. Stallions self-mutilate. Gorillas experience clinical depression.
Joining forces with science journalist Kathryn Bowers, Natterson-Horowitz employs fascinating case studies and meticulous scholarship to present a revelatory understanding of what animals can teach us about the human body and mind.
Zoobiquity; is the term the authors have coined to refer to a new, species-spanning approach to health. Delving into evolution, anthropology, sociology, biology, veterinary science, and zoology, they break down the walls between disciplines, redefining the boundaries of medicine.Zoobiquity explores how animal and human commonality can be used to diagnose, treat, and heal patients of all species. Both authoritative and accessible, offering cutting-edge research through captivating narratives, this provocative book encourages us to see our essential connection to all living beings.
"If common ancestors with worms, fish, and apes lie in our past, then Zoobiquity points the way to our future. The connections we share with the rest of life on our planet are a source of beauty and, in Natterson-Horowitz and Bowers luminous new account, the inspiration for an emerging and powerful approach to human health.Zoobiquity is a book that explodes barriers and myths all in the purpose of bettering the human condition." (Neil Shubin, paleontologist and author of Your Inner Fish)
"Zoobiquity is full of fascinating stories of intersection between human and nonhuman medicine fish that faint; dinosaur cancers; human treatments that cure dogs of melanoma; lessons from adolescent elephant behavior that explain human teenagers. I was beguiled." (Atul Gawande, M.D.)
"Centered on an insight rich with consequences, this beautifully written book is loaded with fascinating material that makes a compelling case for viewing human health and disease comparatively. We have more to learn from other species than I had ever suspected. Gripping and memorably engaging, it belongs in the hands of anyone with an ounce of curiosity about the biological sources of the human condition." (Stephen Stearns, PhD., Edward P. Bass Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Yale University)
"Fascinating reading about the similarities in both the physiology and behavior of people and animals." (Temple Grandin, Ph.D.)

Doesn't offer anything new, doesn't give credit wh
First off, I must admit that I have not yet finished the book. I'm only on the cancer section, and I'm not sure if I will finish it. Initially I was really excited to find this book (I have the kindle audio edition), because I'm a Laboratory Animal Veterinarian, so I encounter and appreciate comparative medicine on a daily basis. But almost immediately, I was turned off by the author's repetitive and nauseating writing style- overuse of adjectives, subjectivity, egotism, etc. Furthermore, this book so far has NOT offered anything new. I realize that most people may not realize this, because they are not in the field of comparative medicine. And I would have no problem if the author simply chose to present the information in a book that is accessible to the everyday person. The author does do this, but that is not all she does- she claims that she is taking a new, 'zoobiquitous' approach that few people if any have done before. In fact, this is not a new approach at all and is done every day through comparative medicine studies, namely animal research, which the author makes quite clear that she is opposed to. But it becomes obvious that in her opposition to animal research, she has failed to recognize the many benefits that comparative animal research has provided (although she does make reference to research findings, but does not mention that those findings came from animal research).
The entire book thus far exudes a sense of profoundness- as if the author is crossing uncharted territory. I feel like that is misleading to readers and does not give credit where credit is due- not only to the wildlife and zoo veterinarians, but also to the lab animal veterinarians who strive to uphold animal welfare while also contribute to the advancement of scientific and medical knowledge- in this case advancement that uses animals that have been selected as models of human diseases. The author paints a small picture of animal research as cold, uncaring, and unimportant. She portrays it as a field that uses genetically mutated animals that are completely unlike their natural counterparts. While research does use genetically engineered animals to serve as superior models of human diseases, animal research also uses natural animal models that include not only mice and rats, but dogs, cats, primates, frogs, birds, pigs, gerbils, snakes, horses- the list is endless. Many of her profound conclusions have already been concluded and put into practice in animal research.
It is true that MDs and DVMs need to work together to achieve a heightened quality of medicine that benefits both people and animals. But the author gives the impression that human and animal doctors are really not working together at all. But in fact, they are working together extensively in the field of research/laboratory animal medicine that the author chose to ignore. Not only does the author not incorporate this field in her writings, she explicitly expresses her distaste for animal research. I believe that in order to truly develop a zoobiquitous approach, you need to have an appreciation and understanding for all areas of scientific and medical advancement.
The author is correct about one thing though- that many MD's, especially specialists, have a superiority complex, inflated ego, etc. This complex is exemplified in her book.

About the Creator
I worked for longer than I should have in television as a leading video editor specialising in music programmes and concerts. I've always been a photographer and now that I'm freelancing I've had much more time to develop (no pun intended) my photography. I find that in many cases the video work and photography complement each other and I have had several photography commissions from clients which go hand in hand with the productions that I'm editing. I'm primarily a landscape photographer but reportage and portraiture are areas that I'm getting more and more into. I'm enjoying it all and after my first book with Blurb I'll have a rest until after Christmas and start thinking about the next one.

Yes, although in America most people get it right, they can tell that my family is from the British Isles (which is true, they are from Ireland). When I was in Japan though, some people had literally never seen a white person in person before and they had no idea what to think of it. I convinced one (poor) old man that I was actually Brazilian, and he didn't question it, even though I am one of the palest people in the world. I could pretend I was from just about any country on earth that wasn't East Asia and they would believe me. I told another guy I was from Nigeria, and proceeded to tell him that there is a large white population there, which is total BS, I dont know anything about Nigeria, I just know that its funny convincing people thats where I am from. When I ask them to guess most of them think I am French or German, which I guess is close, but there is a fine line between the British Isles and France or Germany. In China people always think I am Russian because I have blonde hair and blue eyes and according to them Russians are the only people with blonde hair and blue eyes (lol). Anyway its a good time messing with people about where I am from, most white people can tell right away, but other races, not so much. Which is understandable I guess, the Japanese and Chinese say we (white people) all look the same, so I suppose its more difficult to tell where we are from? I dont really know.00|00|0

Do you know the differences between the materials of the plates of the hair plates? Do you prefer ceramics, titanium or tourmaline? With or without ionizer? What width should your future hair iron have? And the temperature, what temperature suits you according to your hair type?
As you can see, buying hair irons is no easy task. As technology advances, new features and improved functionality are added to these devices – which we celebrate – but which, inevitably, make the purchase process more difficult.
It should not be like that. Buying the right hair irons, or making the wrong choice, can completely determine the appearance of your hair for years to come. Quality hair irons that, in addition, are the right and optimal for your type of hair will allow you to get the most out of your hair, in addition to maintaining the health of the hair.
So with the objective of not meeting another friend complaining about some plates because I did not know how to choose the right ones … Here it is The Definitive Guide to the hair irons 🙂
How does hair iron work?
Our hairs are made up of a protein known as keratin. Keratin is formed by a series of very rich sulfur amino acids which, among them, form disulfide bonds (or bridges), which are chains linking a sulfur atom with another that is nearby. The number and nature of such bonds which are formed in the keratin fibers are genetically determined.
The good news is that with enough heat we can break those disulfide bonds. By applying heat we deform and/or break the bonds that our hair presents naturally while keeping the hair tense, while we cool it when we stop applying heat, we force the new bonds to form at will.
The main problem we face is that there is no consensus on what temperature is optimal for breaking the disulfide bridges. Some studies indicate that they begin to break from 70ºC, others that depend on environmental factors. The GHD brand, for example, is known for having all its plates maintained at a fixed temperature of 185 ° C.
It is not true that at higher temperatures the hair smoothes faster. The reality is that lower but steady heat works better. Our research shows that the use of above-optimal temperature for hair ironing is detrimental to the same
Later we will return to the subject of temperature and our recommendations in this regard. For now, let's start with the guide from the beginning!
The materials and technologies of the hair irons
We dare to say that this characteristic is the one that is going to be the most determinant of all. The materials of the plates will be the point of contact between the plates and your hair, they will be in contact with this several times a week. It is important that it is a material capable of offering a stable and homogeneous temperature that behaves smoothly on contact with the hair and does not transmit static electricity. Let's see the best known and used:
1. The pottery
Pottery is the dominant material in most medium and high-end hair irons. For what is this? As the ceramic has a very low coefficient of friction (which means less damage to the hair), it is a good conductor of heat and has a high durability. In addition, ceramics tend to transmit negative ions, so it balances the static electricity charge of our hair and prevents frizz and hair snorting.
Of course, you must take into account that what is customary to sell as "ceramic plates" is usually an exterior cladding. Ceramics are usually used in conjunction with other materials. For example, the award-winning GHD V Gold Classic plates use a ceramic coating applied to aluminum plates. This material, as the brand itself, leads heat 4 times better than steel. Ultimately, what distinguishes good plates from mediocre ones is that they are able to conduct the heat well and distribute it evenly on the surface of the plates.
2. Ceramics with tourmaline
Tourmaline is a mineral of the silicate class, whose main property is pyroelectricity. More than 2,300 years ago this stone already caught the attention of the ancient philosophers, who realized that when it was heated it was able to attract straw, ash or small wood chips. What happened was that when heating the tourmaline an electric field is induced in the particles of the material, caused by movement of positive and negative charges at the opposite ends of the surface.
If such a pyroelectric property occurs when the material is in contact with our mane, what happens is that the negative charges generated by the tourmaline on heating tend to "jump" to our mane, which is full of positive charges after drying. The negative charges are relocated on the surface of our hair, producing a compensation of its electric charge.
In short, tourmaline charges our mane of negative ions, which results in fewer frizzes and a brighter and healthier appearance.
The most common are to mix with the pottery. When the ceramic coating is prepared, they crush and mix particles of this material which, however small, are already capable of producing the negative ionic charges of which we have spoken.
Some of the most recognized brands that use this technology are Rowenta, in its Liss & Curl Elite or Karmin plates, in its G3 Salon Pro model.

Heeey guys :3 I try to write more reviews, feel free to suggest me stuff I should review! 🙂
Sooo today I am reviewing Romantic Bear "Wow Long Lasting Lip Color" which is the cheaper version of Berrisom "Oops My Lip Tint".
It is a kind of liquid lipstick that leaves a bit of "natural" color after you peel it off and that should last all day even if you are kissing, eating..
My natural lip color is kinda beige with a bit of rose because of my really light skin color and I am addicted to lip balm and lipstick so I really wanted to test this. I guess you all have already seen them on instagram.
It feels like a skin mask. smells like fruit and may hurt a bit while it's drying if you have sensitive lips. But when you peel it off after 7-10 minutes (I always leave it on around 15 minutes) it takes off dried skin with it, which is kinda great. But leaving it on around 10 minutes without speaking, drinking, moving your lips.. can be annoying and it's really hard to put it on the first few times.. I am always putting it on with a brush after plumping but before I put on any other make-up..
And the result is a more like a natural light ombre color which is great, if you don't want to look like you are wearing lipstick or for a day on the beach. I am in love with dark and neon lipsticks so it isn't really my color but I am wearing Romantic Bear Cherry Red or Rose Pink everyday under my lipstick in case it rubs off. 🙂
So if you have patience and like natural lip colors it might be great for you, there are 6 colors and they are kinda cheap. 🙂
Have you tried them? If so, would you recommend them & what's your fav color? :3
I didn't got this product sponsored and it's just my honest opinion.

Brian Eno Net Worth
Brian Eno net worth: Brian Eno is a British musician and artist Brian Eno who has a net worth of $60 million. Brian Eno's impact on pop culture is indefinably vast. In addition to his net worth, he's acted as a creative muse or collaborator with some of the biggest artists in rock, such as David Bowie, David Byrne, U2, and more. He's also had a thriving and cultishly followed solo career that's spanned decades as well as multiple art forms. Eno's career as a professional musician began with the band Roxy Music. He started as a producer only, but eventually became a touring and performing member of the band, often putting on elaborate costumes for the shows. He quit the band after creative disputes, and started on a solo career both as a performer in albums like Here Come The Warm Jets and a producer and writer. One of his more famous works in this capacity is with David Bowie, with whom he wrote and contributed creatively to the "Berlin trilogy" of albums, which includes Low, "Heroes," and Lodger. Despite the fact that Eno wasn't technically a producer on these albums, they definitely evince what would later be known as the "Eno sound," with a lot of soaring electronic soundscapes and computerized "beeps."

I am troubled by today's Supreme Court ruling regarding the Voting Rights Act. The important work of protecting voting rights must continue, and it requires continued vigilance under the law. Our nation has made great progress in the last 50 years, but we must also acknowledge that those in power can too easily create obstacles for certain groups to exercise the right to vote. Native Americans who live in Arizona's District One understand this, as they and tribes across the U.S. have endured generations of discrimination and voter-suppression tactics. I call on my colleagues in Congress to take action and restore voting protections that have strengthened our country through the Voting Rights Act.

When you want to setup your Internet Marketing campaign, then it is imperative that you trust Facebook as your main social networking profile. Due to the widespread reach of this particular platform, and also due to its global audience, many of the Internet marketers feel that this is the ideal platform for the launch of the product. Moreover, they can target new markets, and do not have to spend a lot of money in the campaigning for to make the product get visibility. So, for every new product, Facebook automatically creates a fan page. If that fan page does not have any likes, then visibility is entirely zero. So, to make sure that the fan page can get the desired visibility, you need to inflate statistics by making sure of purchasing Facebook likes. If you buy facebook likes, then that particular fan page will be targeted, and the likes of that fan page will increase. This will help people to know about the existence of the fan page of the product, and also like the product and purchase it.
However, it is very important that you exercise caution when you buy Facebook likes. There are some questions that you need to ask the supplier of such Facebook likes, so that you can decide for yourself the person is legitimate or not.
Are the original fans and the likes from the people that are active? If the answer is negative, then it is not recommended that you go for such kind of Facebook likes, as Facebook will easily catch this particular inflation, and they will negate the likes that the fan page has accumulated.
Is there a one-time charge to get a specific pack of Facebook likes? The charges that you accumulate for a particular Facebook pack should always be a one-time charge, and not a monthly recurring charge.
Is there any method to provide emergency delivery of such services? It is entirely dependent upon the service provider, but if there is the presence of any emergency services, then it does prove that the service provider is serious about the business.
Can the order be customized according to the requirements? It can be very effective and useful if you could customize the requirements, instead of going for a specific set of Facebook likes on your fan page.
Is there any need to provide sensitive user account information for the order to start? The answer should always be negative. In case the service provider does ask for your user id and password, then make sure that you do not proceed with the order.
Is the network safe, and does not process any blacklisted Facebook profiles? The provider should always make sure that the network is safe, and not detected by Facebook as its blacklisted profile. If it is so, then you are going to have a very hard time trying to get such kind of Facebook likes to stick to your fan page.

A Housing Crash Redux?
Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Among the many steps the Trump administration can take is to immediately reverse course on a disastrous new housing policy that resembles the decade-old industry crash. The Wall Street Journal is sounding the alarm on "a booming corner of the lending industry called Property Assessed Clean Energy, or PACE. Such loans, set up by local governments across the U.S., are designed to encourage homeowners to buy energy-efficient solar panels, window insulation and air-conditioning units."
Here's the broader problem, explained by WSJ: "As the loans spread, so do problems that echo the subprime mortgage crisis. Plumbers and repairmen essentially function as loan brokers but have scant training and oversight. They often pitch PACE loans to help land contracting jobs and earn referral fees from lenders… Creditworthiness matters little to lenders, because loans are based on the value of a homeowner's property. PACE loans typically require no down payment, and the debt is added to property-tax bills as an assessment."
The Journal goes on to say, "Investors like the bonds' relatively high payouts, environmentally friendly reputation and lofty credit ratings. On the other hand, rating firms have said there aren't enough historical data on PACE loans to forecast potential defaults. Some local governments that embraced the loans as a way to bring clean energy to the masses didn't anticipate the messy consequences."
Numerous states are now scurrying to enact regulations to prevent defaults, fraud and deception marketing. More worrisome, "The industry could get a new growth spurt from a July decision by the Department of Housing and Urban Development to allow the Federal Housing Administration to purchase mortgages on homes with PACE loans."
Like the subprime mortgage debacle, the biggest problem here is that most people have no idea what they're getting themselves into. Only later do they find out they don't have the money. Theoretically, says the Journal, "That setup puts local governments in the awkward position of potentially foreclosing on their constituents. If that happens and the house turns out to be worth less than the amount owed by the homeowner, other taxpayers could be stuck with a loss on the difference."
This scheme works well for a while, particularly for those private entities promoting it, but it risks creating a massive bubble that will eventually burst. The question then becomes: Will its most ardent advocates argue it was worth it because it promoted "green" initiatives? Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

text: Magazine DB Focus | Published in December 2016 Next Generations' Plans How to keep a plan in place By John Keefe | December 2016 Art by Jon Han Corporate sponsors of defined benefit (DB) plans have been backing away from these plans for years. Since peaking in1983 at about 26,000, U.S. pensions with over 100 participants had decreased to a few shy of 9,000 by 2014, says the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL). While growth has, admittedly, been seen in the micro end of the market, midsize and large plan sponsors have given up on defined benefit plans. And for good reason—they can be expensive and, when not properly managed, inflict volatility on the sponsor's financial health. Still, compared with other plans, DBs offer the superior solution for retirees. "I often say that the worst DB plan is better than the best DC [defined contribution] plan," notes M. Barton Waring, retired chief investment officer (CIO) for investment strategy and policy at Barclays Global Investors, and author of "Pension Finance: Putting the Risks and Costs of Defined Benefit Plans Back Under Your Control." "A DB plan that is affirmatively stingy by historic standards—but perhaps, then, being more affordable—nonetheless probably does a far better job at providing meaningful retirement income than does a typical DC plan." While large corporate sponsors may not be starting new defined benefit plans, there are several important tactics at their disposal to help keep their current plans in place. Two techniques serve to reduce the size of a plan, by removing inactive or retired employees from the liability base. First, many firms have offered buyouts to terminated employees with vested benefits. Those individuals no longer accrue benefits, so their cost is not growing, but removing them from the rolls makes life simpler for the human resources (HR) department. It also reduces premiums owed to the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC), at a per-head charge that is now $64 and climbing, plus charges based on a plan's unfunded liability. "A buyout shrinks both the assets and liabilities, which reduces the potential risk of an adverse move in benefits or the portfolio," explains Jon Waite, chief actuary at SEI Institutional in Oaks, Pennsylvania. If the plan is underfunded, the tactic can take funded status even lower, he adds, "but, because the plan has become smaller, there's less impact on the sponsor's financial position." Moreover, after the buyout, a plan's retirees, whose liabilities are more predictable, account for a greater portion of the liability. A similar reduction in plan-scale effect can be accomplished through a purchase of annuity contracts to satisfy obligations to retirees (see "Annuity Providers," PLANSPONSOR, November 2016). "Again, you are reducing the size of the plan, and reducing your PBGC premiums as well. Depending on the size of the organization, the cost savings can be pretty big," Waite says. However, risk transfers such as buyouts and annuitization create their own problems, asserts Jeremy Gold, a New York City-based consulting actuary. "Paying out large amounts in lump sums, either to terminated employees or to people at retirement, impairs the DB plan's value in pooling risk," he says. The plan's investment portfolio offers another lever to pull toward reducing volatility of the plan surplus. Liability-driven investing (LDI) loads up on bonds and fixed-income derivatives so portfolio values will move more in sync with changes in liabilities. However, LDI strategies are most effective when a plan is fully funded, or nearly so—the lower returns to fixed income do little to make up a significant funding gap. A more sweeping change is overhauling the plan's design: converting a traditional defined benefit plan to a cash balance format (see "Blurring the Lines," PLANSPONSOR, January 2016). Sponsors contribute a percentage of employee compensation annually, and investment returns are based on results of the markets. "The investment crediting rate moves up and down, and it's the employee who has to bear that risk," says Kevin Wagner, senior consulting actuary in the Bloomfield Hills, Michigan, office of consultants Willis Towers Watson. "That's one reason cash balance plans work for many sponsors." Observers all note that DB pension regulation is far too intricate, but they offer little hope for relief. As Gold puts it, "It's hard to imagine ever unwinding enough of the regulation to create a favorable framework." Waite favors defined benefit plans—thinks they are worth preserving—but believes things would improve with a few design changes. "They deliver benefits in a way employees can't for themselves. Employers can buy annuities economically as a strong base benefit and better manage risk through the law of large numbers," he observes, "but the types of plans have to change—to present less risk to the sponsor, and share some of the risks with the employees."DB Developments of 2016 Sponsors of defined benefit (DB) plans may find the following of interest: • Actuaries are regarded as guardians of pension benefits and pillars of financial rectitude. Therefore, it was surprising when the Society of Actuaries (SOA) and American Academy of Actuaries tried suppressing a paper, made by their joint pension finance task force, on applying the rules of financial economics to public retirement liabilities. Using the low market rates of interest that financial economics calls for would have revealed, and did, that the finances of many public plans are even weaker than they look using the actuaries' favored higher discount rates. Logic would suggest that the actuarial community would encourage the most solid funding standards, but, instead, for public plans, they stick to high discount rates, which translate into minimal funding. The document made its way into the public domain nonetheless, and the societies' move drew widespread negative publicity. The groups reversed course and released it, but not before stripping out the authors' names. "Responsible actuaries, writing the nearly suppressed report, should be applauded for their courage in standing up to those who continue to insist on current weak funding methods," observes pension scholar M. Barton Waring. He adds, "Millions of pension beneficiaries trusted the actuarial community to use sober, responsible standards for ensuring adequate funding of their pensions." • A propos of public plan defined benefit investment strategy, several state pension funds moved to eliminate or scale back their allocations to hedge funds, for reasons of disappointing performance, high fees or both. For the hedge fund industry as a whole, eVestment of Marietta, Georgia, reports that third quarter 2016 brought a fourth consecutive quarter of redemptions, raising the year-to-date total to $59.9 billion and leaving the total assets in hedge funds at just over $3 trillion. • A third remarkable defined benefit development for the year, notes Kevin Wagner of Willis Towers Watson, was more of a nonevent, arising in the firm's annual review of the defined benefit ecosystem for companies in the Fortune 100. "We've been looking at large corporate DB plans for about 25 years," he says, "and this year, for the first time, there wasn't a decrease in the number of plans." That is hardly a sign of recovery, however. "There are just 2% or 3% of Fortune 100 sponsors offering newly hired employees the pension plans we knew as kids, and the rest are in DC [defined contribution] or cash balance plans," Wagner adds. "We may be at the end of the movement away from the traditional pension concept, but there is no hint at all that we are going back."

Goodrich Corp.'s (Charlotte, N.C., USA) Aircraft Wheels and Brakes site in Pueblo, Colo., has been chosen for the top environmental award from the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's Environmental Leadership Program (ELP). The "24 Karat Gold Leader" award recognizes one company, out of several leading companies, that demonstrates the most innovative environmental stewardship.
Goodrich was selected for the award based on its carbon recycling program. As a manufacturer of carbon disk aircraft brakes, Goodrich receives worn disks from airlines worldwide for possible refurbishment and reuse. Some disks do not meet the strict criteria for refurbishment. Rather than scrapping the disks, Goodrich worked with Evraz/Rocky Mountain Steel Mill in Pueblo to devise a method to allow disks to be used as a carbon raw material source in steel production. Furthermore, the team found a way to recycle the disks without any additional treatment, avoiding any associated environmental consequences. Over the last 12 months, more than 208 tons of post-consumer carbon disks from Goodrich were recycled for use in the manufacture of steel products.
Brian Brandewie, president, Goodrich Aircraft Wheels and Brakes, said, "Our team in Pueblo is demonstrating its commitment to continuous improvement and environmental stewardship. Keeping these used carbon disks out of landfills is the right thing to do for our community, and we will continue to seek innovative ways to use technology to reduce our environmental impact."
The ELP is a statewide environmental recognition and reward program administered by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment's Sustainability Program. The ELP offers benefits and incentives to members that voluntarily go beyond compliance with state and federal regulations and are committed to continual environmental improvement.
In other Goodrich news, the company's Aircraft Wheels and Brakes business has been selected by flydubai (Dubai, UAE) to supply wheels and carbon brakes for its new fleet of 54 Boeing Next-Generation 737-800 aircraft. The selection is expected to generate up to $22 million in revenue over the life of the contract, including aftermarket support. Aircraft deliveries with the Goodrich wheel and brake equipment are expected to begin in March 2010 and continue through 2013. The wheels and carbon brakes will use Goodrich's proprietary DURACARB carbon material, which will provide a weight savings of approximately 700 lb/318 kg per airplane compared to high-capacity steel brakes, and 550 lb/250 kg compared to standard capacity steel brakes.

This would be my suggestion. It is not only less strict but also informative. I didn't know what the description field in the Bodhi interface does until 2 months after I started packaging stuff, because I don't use PackageKit very often.

Correct. This is among the things, I am trying to address with this proposal.
* The description field in the bodhi interface is what the users will see on the PackageKit GUI regarding the significance of the update. This is not the same thing as the SPEC file changelog. It would be nice to include the release highlights in this field together with a URL to the upstream changelog, if there is any.

Leigh Creek Energy Limited (LCK) has located and has in its possession significant volumes of historic drill data in addition to that previously acquired. This additional data includes coal quality, geophysical and coal sample data, and coal retention samples.
This data brings forward gasification testing of coal samples (which have been appropriately stored) and likely permits an initial coal resource estimate to be performed ahead of the planned drilling program.
The intended drill program will be optimised following assessment of the new data.
Detail of Data and its Assessment
The data acquired pertains to drilling and associated geological investigations by ETSA (the Electricity Trust of South Australia) in the 1970's. ETSA was owned by the South Australian government at this time, with ETSA owning and operating the Leigh Creek Coal Field and the associated and captive coal fired power stations at Port Augusta 255 km to the South.

Could Climate Change Keep Kids Out of School?
By Lisa Palmer
Education is seen as a key tool for building resilience to climate change in the developing world. But new research shows that climate change could also make it harder to keep kids in school and ensure they get the best out of their time in the classroom.
Heather Randell, a postdoctoral fellow at the National Socio-Environmental Synthesis Center, a research institute funded by the National Science Foundation and the University of Maryland, studies the relationships between environmental change, development, and human health and wellbeing. Her research focuses on the social processes underlying migration, the links between development and rural livelihoods, and the social and health impacts of environmental change.

Why Not Join One of These 56 Educational Professional Organizations?
A great way for teachers to connect with one another is through a professional organization. The science teacher can share thoughts and ideas with other science teachers, the music teacher can share with other music teachers. Being a member of a professional organization will also look good on your resume if you are looking for a job. Organizations offer professional development, conferences, luncheons (
dinners too
) and meetings. What a great way to network with other people who are teaching in the same subject area as you. Here's a comprehensive list of those groups:

Positioning is everything in golf.
And at Harbour Town, where you can be in the fairway and still not have a clear shot to the green, it could be becoming even more of an issue.
For years, the MCI Heritage was believed to have one of the best spots on the PGA Tour, with a sense of timing as beneficial as its picturesque setting. The tournament has traditionally benefited from coming directly after the Masters, capitalizing on the golf high the season's first major championship creates while drawing from what almost amounted to a captive audience.
Each spring, several of the international players who had traveled to America for the Masters would extend their visits an extra week to play in the Heritage.
But now, with many of the world's top players having moved here to play the U.S. tour full-time, this might seem like just another week after a major for many of them.
Meanwhile, the ever-increasing interest in golf's four biggest events, along with the demand on players' time at them, seems to have taken a toll on their stamina and this tournament's field.
This year, none of the top nine and only nine of the top 30 players in the World Golf Rankings are here. An event that is usually notable for its names is suddenly conspicuous for who is not in it.
And something that has helped the tournament since the Heritage moved to the week after the Masters 22 years ago might actually have started to hurt the event.
But if there's a problem with the Heritage's date, a bigger one might be finding a solution.
Available weeks on Tour are finite. Attractive ones are even more difficult to find.
And you only have to look at the BellSouth Classic, which has become an afterthought since moving to the week before the Masters, to see how damaging the wrong change can be.
That's why, at the Heritage, they're not rushing to make one.
"We like where we are,'' said Steve Wilmot, tournament director of the Heritage. "I haven't heard any buzz out there, and MCI certainly hasn't asked about moving. We still get a great field most years.
"You look out on the driving range this week and there will be (representatives of) eight to 10 Tour events, hustling and trying to get players to come to their tournaments. That's something I still don't have to do too much of. When I show up at tournaments, players say, 'What are you doing here? You know people will be coming to your place.'"
This week still has many of the same advantages it always had for the Heritage.
Thursday's first round will come just four days after the most-viewed golf event of the season, the Masters' 10.3 ratings share up 41 percent from 2004. The Heritage can at least hope to ride that wave of interest.
And even if the rain that is seemingly a prerequisite for Tour play this season finds Harbour Town, there will still be a time by the end of the weekend when the sun shines, the grass seems an impossible shade of green and boats bobbing in the Calibogue Sound sustain the myth of an eternal spring here.
That is immensely important for Hilton Head tourism, which is driven by the Heritage and its broadcast.
The last thing this town needs is images going out to the world of golf fans huddled around the lighthouse with their hands pulled inside the sleeves of turtlenecks.
And that could undermine one of the few intriguing scheduling possibilities.
With the Tour once again considering moving The Players Championship to May, events would likely start lining up to take its late-March date, which is when Masters qualifying closes. And the Heritage, which would be a nice logistical fit after three Florida events, might have an advantage to get that week.
It just wouldn't have any more guarantee there than where it currently is.
"I think we can count on much better weather in April,'' says Wilmot. "Three weeks can make a big difference here.''
So it's a tough call for the Heritage and where its timing might be now.
Because the only bigger problem than staying in the wrong place would be moving to a worse one.

Well this sucked...
- I bought the Friday badge.
- I got the time off from work.
- I planned exactly how I was going to move about the convention.
- I even got one of my non-video game freak/fan friends to come with, so that makes it 2 badges.
- I got approval from parents......
...But, I didn't account for them changing their minds...
Thursday evening, after I got home from work, my parents were waiting for me to have a little discussion. the felt, that since they were going to Florida for the week(left Friday morning at 8am, won't be back until late Saturday/early Sunday), and I was going to be gone all day, that it wouldn't be right to our dog. He has an enlarged heart, common for his breed (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) as they get older, that cause fluid to build up in his lungs. He takes twice daily medication, to both keep the swelling down and to prevent fluid from building up, or at the very least slow the rate at which it builds up.
Funny thing is, when I originally got approval from them, I took that into account and planned accordingly. He was going to get his morning doses from my parents before they left anyways, and I was hoping to be on the road to Boston by then, trying to beat traffic. I figured, that by 3pm, maybe 4pm, I would've had my fill of AC3 and others, and come home, again trying to beat traffic. Home by 5:30pm, 7pm at the latest, I would've given him his evening doses, and everything would've been fine.
But on the medication, he has a tendency to go to the bathroom...A LOT...and drink lots of water. They were concerned that he would pee in the house if I was gone too long, especially since he hates it when we leave the house without him during the day for school and work. I had figured if he was alone 10 hours, it wasn't a problem. They didn't see it that way. Plus, they were concerned that even if I chose to travel before morning and afternoon rush hour, traffic would have still been very dangerous, because of Boston's heavy Irish-Catholic community, and it being Good Friday, with a lot of people on the road going to see relatives in Boston.
Unfortunately, I had to agree with them on that last one right away. I came around to the dog dilemma, realizing that in his old age, he needs constant supervision, to make sure no problems occur. That night, right after the conversation, I sold my badges to the friend of mine that was going to come with me for $50. I paid $70, so on top of not going, I lost money.
I was looking forward to getting a peek at AC3 through the demo and possibly even meeting Gabe (and punching him in the face for toppers, lol :P)!!! But in the end I didn't go, missing out on a wonderful opportunity and to possibly experience the fun of electronic/gaming conventions. I would meet other fans of not just the AC Universe, but Video Games in general. Yeah some of them would've been your typical 15yo basement dwellers, or creepy 30 or 40 something's still living at home with parents...in the basement. But there's always a few that show signs of sanity, decency, structure, self-respect, and above all cleanliness. An experience I hope to have next year, when Pax East 2013 comes rolling back.
But until then, I bid farewell. - DOP3, Le bugie sono intorno a te, ma la verità è dentro di voi 08:20, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

|Grazing and visitation data collected using motion sensing camera traps at anthrax carcass or control sites (camera= Carcass or Control), for springbok (AM), plains zebra (EQ), gemsbok (OG) or blue wildebeest (CT). "gap" refers to whether the paired camera from the site was functional or not when that particular photo sequence was recorded (N=no, there was no gap in the other camera, Y=yes, there was a gap, i.e. the paired camera was not functioning). Number_grazing is the number of individuals observed grazing during the photo sequence; number_in_rocks is the number of individuals observed within the rock-defined site during the photo sequence.

Regulations compliance
In what is called 'The EU Climate And Energy Package', European leaders agreed in 2007 on - and enacted in 2009 - a set of targets for Europe to become 'a highly energy-efficient, low carbon economy'. The package is binding legislation with three key objectives for the year 2020:
- Greenhouse gas emissions in the EU to be reduced by 20% from 1990 levels. The EU will increase this number to 30% if other major economies commit to bear their fair share of a global emissions reduction effort;
- The share renewable energy resources in our energy consumption to be increased to 20%;
- The EU's energy efficiency to be improved by 20%.
Several European Directives have been issued in support of this subject: the Energy Services Directive (2006/32/EC), the Energy Efficiency Directive (2012/27/EU), the ECO-design Directive (2009/125/EC) and the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (2010/31/EU), among others. Buildings can help in all three targeted areas: improved energy efficiency in buildings (new and existing) has a colossal savings potential. Plus, buildings can generate renewable energy, from solar PV cells or from wind turbines. And both of these, obviously, contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
The Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD 2002, strengthened in 2010), is key in this ambition. It requires all EU countries to enhance their regulations on construction methods, to reduce the energy consumption of buildings and to introduce energy certification schemes. All countries must have regular inspections of boilers and air-conditioners. The recast EPBD, adopted in 2010, presents extra tough challenges to the member states: new and retrofitted buildings should be nearly-zero energy by 2020 (2018 in the case of Public buildings), while a cost-optimal methodology for setting minimum requirements for both the envelope and the technical systems must be put in place.
In this context, it is important to know that solar shading will help substantially reduce cooling energy consumption and make better use of free solar energy in the heating season. ES-SO's mission is to ensure that all the relevant parties, from policy makers and politicians to architects and builders, are aware of the contribution solar shading.
The EPBD as a framework Directive has to follow the principle of subsidiarity. Nevertheless, the importance of solar shading is stressed and its considerations is made obligatory.

Former ACT Brumbies forward Ita Vaea will get the chance to revive his professional rugby career in France, joining Grenoble more than two years after blood clots on his heart almost killed him.
In a remarkable comeback, Vaea has flown to France and will train with Grenoble for the rest of the Top 14 season after being recruited as a "medical joker".
Fairfax Media can reveal Grenoble coach Bernard Jackman recruited Vaea to offer him a short-term opportunity, with an option of a deal next year if he proves he can get back to his best.
Vaea's blockbusting Super Rugby career was almost over in 2012 after scans discovered blood clots on his heart and in his calf. Had he continued playing and training, he could have had a stroke or died on the field.
"If he comes in and impresses, there's an opportunity to stay with us, or other clubs will really want him in France," Jackman said.
"It will be a second-chance for his career. It's an amazing story … it would be brilliant if he could make a comeback from it.
"For a guy who had that scare and wants to come back from it, it would be nice to give him an opportunity. People will still be worried about his health and the past, but we just want to look at him."
Vaea, who was once likened to Wallabies great Toutai Kefu, was told he may never play again, but received medical approval to start training again earlier this year.
He dropped 20 kilograms and started to regain match fitness playing for the Gungahlin Eagles in the ACT Rugby Union competition.
Vaea had no idea he was ill at Brumbies training at the end of 2012, but was sent for scans when his foot turned white after a pre-season session.
He was put on blood thinning medication and his physical activity was limited to walking at a "granny's pace" for almost 18 months.
It's understood French club Clermont were keen to sign the 25-year-old Tongan powerhouse before scans discovered his life-threatening condition.
The Brumbies were also keen to lure him back to Super Rugby after he started playing for NSW Country in the National Rugby Championships this year.
Grenoble has earned the tag of being the "French Brumbies, recruiting former ACT players Peter Kimlin, Ben Hand, Anthony Hegarty and Henry Vanderglas.
"I remember [Vaea] from 2011 with the Brumbies and I didn't know where he'd gone but I remember he was pretty influential," Jackman said.
"He's been out of the game for a long time and has put on some weight. But the Brumbies boys at Grenoble spoke about his work ethic and said if I give him a chance he'll work his socks off.
"He's pretty talented and he's tough, he's a different profile to the players we have here. It would be too big of a risk to give him a contract straight up, but when he was willing to come and trial we'll check him out."
Irish rugby was rocked this week with news that flanker Chris Henry suffered a blocked vessel in his brain and is out of the game indefinitely.
Jackman, a former Ireland hooker, was in Dublin for the Wallabies clash against Ireland on Sunday morning Australian time.

National Tennis: Women's prize money increased on Sania's suggestion
The winner's prize money for men was Rs. 1,50,000 while for women was Rs. 1,00,000. However, Sania Mirza, chief guest on the occasion, pointed this out to All India Tennis Association president Anil Khanna when the finals of the singles matches were going on at the R.K. Khanna Tennis Complex.
"Sania brought this to my notice today asking where is there a difference in the prize money between men and women when several international tournaments have the same prize money for both. We immediately decided to increase the prize money and bring parity," said Khanna during the presentation ceremony of the tournament.
"From now on we will see to it that all national tournaments have the same prize money for both categories."
Sania thanked Khanna for accepting her suggestion.
"I thank Mr. Khanna for accepting my suggestion so quickly," said Sania.
Prerna Bhambri and Jeevan Nedunchezhiyan won the women's and men's titles.

It has been great 2 decades since Nokia started serving people across the globe with wide range of products. From basic model to mid range to smartphones the company has established its brand identity in every segment in the mobile industry till date. Well, the company has decided to celebrate its 25th year of success by gifting some unique innovation for the customers across the globe. Yes; the latest innovative product is known as 'Nokia Gem' which is under the development stage.
Nokia Gem is a concept phone on which the Nokia engineers are working currently. In the recent future we may see traditional touch phones moving behind as Nokia Gem will stand ahead with this newest technology. In simple words, it could be described as a phone with touch screen from top to bottom. Well, that explanation may not be as simple as considered, so to avoid confusion it will be better to look into the concept in detail.
According to Nokia, the latest innovative technology will help people to use the entire phone as touch screen; that means from the front panel to the back panel, the sides and of course the top and bottom. Isn't that amazing???
The basic idea of the concept is an entirely customizable smartphone from top to bottom. That is, the user can decide himself or herself, where to place the buttons, where should the keypads be placed and much more. The user can also decide on the placement of widgets and many more. And one of the amazing facilities is that the user can anytime change the entire outlook of the phone by just capturing a picture and applying it as cover of the phone.
It is obvious that the new concept is an amazing one but what is confusing is that how will be the camera lens incorporated in it. Anyhow, Nokia might be planning on that too. But, will it be possible for Nokia to develop this concept on the Symbian platform? It will be not as easy as considered to enrich a Symbian platform with such high end technology. For the time being it is obvious that people around the globe are eagerly waiting for more updates on the concept. Moreover, since it is a concept right now, it will take time for the company to develop it completely and roll out to the market. So, we may be required to wait for some longer time to see Nokia Gem in the stores. To comment on the price of this phone; it is obvious that we need to wait for some more time.

From ThroneWorld
Also known as Alpha Scorpii. A brilliant jewel set within the Milky Way, Antares sits amid the Zodaiacal constellation Scorpius (or Scorpio), the celestial scorpion, one of the few constellations that actually looks like what it represents. The great star, a class M (M1.5) red supergiant gleaming redly at the scorpion's heart, has a color similar to Mars. Antares has the mass of about 15.5 times that of Earth's sun, and is 10,000 times as bright. The lifetime of a red supergiant like Antares is quite short, measurable in tens of thousands of years. Antares may have become a red supergiant as recently as 150 AD.
Antares has a smaller, whitish companion, (known as Antares B). However, in the red light of Antares this companion star appears green.
Prescot mentions that Antares is about 400 light-years from Earth. This seems to be based on the prevalent knowledge about Antares in the early 1970's (which would have been the time that Prescot's first tapes were made). More modern estimates place Antares at a distance of about 600 light-years from Earth.
Prescot believes that Antares is the Red Sun of Kregen, though he has little hard evidence to indicate this.

When Google My Business hit our computer screens mid-June it was an overnight change for many accounts. Minds were understandably boggled. For those who manage Google Places and Google Plus accounts, the new dashboard we saw come into play last year was bittersweet for many due to the length of time it took to roll out across the UK and beyond.
Social Media Managers, I feel your pain. I know how hard it is to push for a great presence on social media and the inclusion of Facebook advertising in a strategy may be the straw that breaks the camel's back for a number of you, especially when it means asking for more budget.

Malaysian Curried Prawns
Recipe by Bergy
The amount of curry paste in this recipe does not overpower the flavor of the prawns and the coconut milk gives the sauce a richness. I have put that this serves 4 but it depends on how large the prawns are and how much you love prawns. You can also serve this as an appetizer, with the rice and on a plate--then it would serve 8.
Top Review by PalatablePastime
This dish was heavenly! I used jumbo shrimp because that was what I had, but those tasted fabulous. I used a ready-made red Thai curry paste in my dish; I chose it to complement the colors in the tomatoes, and it tasted great. I did chop that onion! And I added the tomatoes just before the sauce started to simmer. I used a fresh tomato instead of canned; it's easy to peel tomatoes, just score the end, drop them in boiling water till the skin loosens (about 45 seconds or so), then plunge them into ice water- skin comes right off; halve the tomato, gently squeeze, and no more seeds! It's so easy! I also served this with Thai dragon chiles- it's as if the taste of the dish was made for them! The flavor was slighty sweet, typical of great Asian curries, not overpowering of coconut flavor, and not too spicy. All in all, a great tasting, easy dish, that is suitable for entertaining as well as everyday use. Thanks for the fabulous recipe, Bergy!

The opposition says that presence of police did not stop the people from flooding the streets.
At half past midnight the young crowed, amounting to thousands, gathering at Tehran Parkway, managed to release 15 youngsters from the police custody. They were arrested during the same protest.
Police forces in Tehran blocked all streets leading to the main television station preventing the crowed from moving forward using teargas.
In Isfahan and Kermanshah people shouted and demanded the release of political prisoners. Demonstrations in Isfahan lasted until early hours in the morning today.

Generic Name: Simvastatin (SIM va sta tin)
Brand Names: Zocor
Where to buy Zocor online?
Being manufactured by a prominent company since 1992, Zocor is a lipid lowering medication that is used to reduce hyperlipidemia (elevated lipid levels) together with exercise, diet and weight loss. The medicine is also used to prevent people who are at risk of heart disease, diabetes and people who have already experienced stroke or heart attack.
Due to its eminence, the medicine is listed as one among the important pills used in the basic health system in the World Health Organization's list of Essential medicines. The drug is also available in generic formulation. But one should consult a physician before taking branded or generic Zocor, because through the process they will know the usage instruction of the drug meticulously.
Medical Uses
Zocor pill is predominantly used in the treatment of dyslipidemia (abnormal amount of lipid in blood). The pill decreases the cholesterol level in blood by blocking the enzyme that is required to make cholesterol, in addition to increasing the quantity of low density lipoproteins.
It is utilized to reduce the risk of heart strokes or attacks by reducing the cholesterol levels. Also the pill is used to treat conditions caused by atherosclerosis (disease where plague builds up in side arteries). By heart protection study, it is found that people taking Zocor pill experienced 38% fewer non-fatal heart attacks and 25% fewer heart strokes and the overall mortality was reduced by 13%.
Dosing guide
The dosage of Zocor drug ranges from 5mg to 40mg a day. In general, 10mg of this pill is prescribed to be taken in the evening. For people who have more possibilities of heart disease the initial dose is 40mg a day.
People with elevated risk of muscular problems are prescribed with 80mg of Zocor pill which is given only if they have not experienced muscle problems by taking that dose for a prolonged duration of more than a year. In case of teens with ancestral high cholesterol, 10mg of this medication is prescribed a day.
