|Mike Hoare
Mike Hoare (1919 - ) was born in India of Irish parents on 17 March, spent some of his early days in Ireland and was educated in England. He served in the British Army for seven years and was demobilised with the rank of major. He qualified in London as a chartered accountant after World War 2 and emigrated to South Africa.
In 1961, Hoare commanded a unit of mercenary soldiers in Katanga, and another in the Congo in 1964 and 1965. After working as an accountant in the Far East he sailed a 100-ton Baltic trader around the Mediterranean Sea for three years with his family as crew.
Extract from Congo Warriors.
I woke Hans and Mark Forrester. We jeeped down to the palace and walked the hundred metres or so towards the cathedral. It was a stormy night. Heavy monsoon clouds careered across the sky at great speed, chased by a half gale. From time to time a full moon would break through to shine brilliantly, painting everything with a silvery glow. It was bright enough to cast a solid shadow. Near the great west door I could make out a small group of men, clustered together. Round them was another ring of people. One of them was the bishop. I could see his purple sash. I stopped close behind him. He said nothing but pointed to the inner group. I looked. The moon came out strongly at that moment and filled the yard with an unnaturally bright light. I felt a hand grasp my left elbow. It was Hans. Another gripped my right. It was Mark.
In the middle of the circle of black men a white girl was standing, her hair matted, her clothes torn and dishevelled. On her face was a look of unutterable sadness as one by one each member of the group came up to her, knelt at her feet and kissed the hem of her tattered skirt. She placed her hands gently on their head and spoke to them in turn, words of loving kindness. Now they knelt in a semicircle, in prayer, as she bade them goodbye. She spoke so softly I could hardly make out what she was saying. The bishop translated. "The Lord bless thee and keep thee. The Lord make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: the Lord lift up his countenance upon thee and give thee peace." Farewell, my dear, dear friends. I shall never forget you. Never. And thank you.'
They withdrew one at a time into the darkness of the passage by the west door. My heart was thumping.
Nobody moved. I found it impossible to look away from that beautiful alabastine face, filled as it was with compassion and suffering, while the bishop told us the story. The villagers had brought the young girl in barely an hour ago. She was the only survivor of a truck that had been blasted from the air. They had found her wandering in the bush last November, three month ago. They had taken her to their village, looked after her and protected her from the rebels. Now they heard the rebels had gone, they had brought her back.
It was a heroic story. My first impulse was to meet the men, to reward them, to help them in some way, to repay them for their deeds of kindness. I walked quickly over to their leader, a tiny, shrivelled man, standing in front of the others in the darknesss of the stone passage leading to the great western door. They all held their cloaks in front of their faces.

Family affair
Owners of venerable Troy meat company that makes Helmbold's know their field
Published 12:56 pm, Wednesday, July 31, 2013
Sitting in his son's office amid photos and awards, Mark Shuket, president of Old World Provisions, reminisces about the first time he tasted a real smoked hot dog. He was visiting his great-grandfather at a New York City smokehouse, where the Shuket family got their start. He remembers how the hot dog was smoked to perfection with a firm casing and robust and juicy flavors. The moment set the stage for a lifetime of dedication to the industry.
"As we like to say, 'Pickle water runs through our veins,'" Mark Shuket says.
Ross Shuket, Mark's son and the company vice president, adds "Smelling like cured meats is a prevailing memory of my childhood."
The Shukets lead a trio of brands — Old World Provisions, Helmbold's and New York State National. Helmbold's, a Troy mainstay acquired by the Shuket family in 2008, is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.
But the Shukets' dedication to the deli industry runs deep, too.
It begins with great-grandpa Sam Shuket, who started in the meat industry in the early 1930s and went on to own one of New York's most reputable delis.
Fast forward to 1983, when Mark Shuket and his father, Joe, started their own meat business in New York City. Eventually, they moved their business to Albany, merging with State National Provisions to become Old World Provisions. They acquired Helmbold's of Troy and continued on with the Helmbold's and Old World Provisions brands.
The family involvement doesn't stop with Mark and Ross. Seth Shuket, Ross' brother, is head of operations.
While the brothers had other passions, it seemed natural for them to stay within the company.
"(Seth) and I both tried to get some life experiences before returning back to the business," Ross said. "We thought about working elsewhere, both in the industry and out of it, but ultimately decided that if we were going to be helping a business grow that we wanted it to be our family's business."
The Shukets attribute their success primarily to the quality and overall consistency of their products over the years. "We've kept everything the same, our community-known product is authentically Troy," Ross said.
It all starts with quality meat, they say, priding their product as "the high end of a low-end category."
The process starts with fresh pork, beef or ham and is worked into an emulsified product. Unique seasoning and all-natural hickory-smoked wood chips add to the quality.
The recipes haven't changed since they acquired the company. The Shukets once considered making changes they believed would improve the products, but fans of the company begged them not to change anything. The family opted to continue with the traditional Helmbold's recipes.
Gus's, Hot Dog Charlie's and Famous Lunch in Troy are just three of the companies who use Helmbold's products, which are also carried at Price Chopper. The company delivers around the country, catering to individual customers.
"We overnight ship to people all over the country, as far as Arizona, Michigan, Florida," Ross says. "We have some very loyal fans who miss their Helmbold's and want to show off their hometown hot dogs to their friends wherever they may live now,"
Through Facebook and social media, they've been able to keep track of their followers all over the world.
"It's a true testament to how the Helmbold's iconic little hot dogs from Troy, N.Y., have impacted generation after generation. One of my favorite parts of this side of the business is hearing about how they used to come into the store with their grandparents and how those are still some of their favorite memories," says Ross, who said some customers who have left the area make a point of returning to the Troy market with their children, who can sample the free mini hot dogs that have always been offered to visiting kids.
Their State National Brand is well known for products such as pastrami, corned beef, roast beef and turkey. A Troy mainstay for a decade now, Helmbold's Market boasts truly authentic New York deli-style meats.
"The retail store is our culinary experiment center; it's vital to the company," Mark says. "It's a great platform for us to test new products and to see how the customers react. Most often, those products only go as far as becoming regular items in the store, but sometimes, it can lead to reaching our wholesale customers."
The best example of an item that started as a test and wound up a regular staple in the store is their line of beef jerky. "We started with just a couple flavors, to see if our customers would enjoy it; after only a couple months, we began prominently featuring up to 10 flavors at a time and struggle to keep some of the more popular flavors in stock," says Ross. The store also features a full butcher shop and everything the brand has to offer, including specialty items.
In seven years, Helmbold's has grown in sales, despite what the family describes as "roller-coaster like ups and downs."
The family legacy, Mark says, is "to ultimately continue the authentic and high-quality business."
It's something you can bet future generations of Shukets will be behind.
Colette Del Favero, a Times Union intern, will be a senior at SUNY Oneonta in the fall.

So who is really going to go see a game. Just curious on what other people think about this minor league arena football team.
Toledo Bullfrogs
Comments ... #
I might go to a game or two just to check it out. I've seen it on TV, though, and it doesn't look very promising. If the tickets are cheap enough, it might be a fun thing to take the kid to.
Oddly enough, I love the name. Go figure that I hate the Walleye name, but will probably go to more hockey games than I will football.
posted by TheTalentedMrC on Nov 25, 2008 at 10:37:04 pm #
either way, Hopefully it will be good for Toledo and downtown
I like the name, can't figure it being a huge success, but I hope the best for it.
I'm open-minded about it. I don't know much about arena football ... I guess the rules and play style are different from what I'm used to watching?
OK I just went looking for a "study guide" of sorts for people like me! Here's the Wikipedia entry for arena football: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arena_football
Went to buy season tickets the other day when they went on sale, and the idiots will only sell you a seat for a full season of hockey and football. You can't buy just football. Newsflash...hockey sucks. So, until they sell just the football tickets, count me out.
posted by ShonuffisDead on Nov 26, 2008 at 06:35:01 am #
That is retarded that you need to get both. Arena Football is fun, and Toledoans should embrace having another sports team in town. However, it seems most really don't care for anything new.
posted by JustaSooner on Nov 26, 2008 at 01:14:16 pm #
Hockey sucks? You won't buy tickets for something you want to watch(football) because you think hockey sucks, might just be the reason the football team might not work out.
If you can afford it, buy the tickets, post the games you don't want to use and maybe someone will buy them and spare you the agony of watching one of the fastest, most talented demanding sports in the world.
I agree that forcing you to buy something you have no interest in stinks, but I'm a hockey fan and I'd even consider going to watch arena football to be supportive.
We'll probably go to many, my husband can't wait. He loves arena football.
Hey Hockey fan, you buy the season tickets, and I will pay for the football tickets, and you can have all the hockey tickets. Sound good.
posted by ShonuffisDead on Nov 27, 2008 at 08:31:49 pm #
I wish I had the money or I'd do it. I bet if you post on Craig's list or somewhere like that, you'll find a person to deal with.
Anyone know if you can get hockey tickets w/o the football or is it the same for both? That would suck as I love Hockey, and little interest in what seems to be a minor league of a minor league of a minor league.
Wish Toledo had a real football team though. Ohio is neat in that we have the Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals. Just wish we had a local one.

We had the Ohio Cannon a few years back...went to most of the games. It was a blast, even saw Dick Butkus at one, as his nephew played for the Cannon. I just love the sport, and enjoy going to games, same reason I had Mud Hens season tickets till I moved out to the boonies. As for hockey, I tried, but I just can't get into it.

Oct 20, 2009 - WUPW - Bullfrogs future in question - "Toledo researching possibilities"
The Toledo Bullfrogs arena football team was to start play in the new Lucas County arena in 2010, participating in the AF2 or arenafootball2 league. The AF2 was the development league for the Arena Football League, which shut down in 2009 after 22 seasons. So what's the point of a development league if the main league no longer exists? Well, a new AF1 league may launch, and the Toledo Bullfrogs will either remain in the AF2 or jump up into the new AF1 league or disappear altogether.
From the WUPW story:
As of now, 16 teams have officially been named as a part of AF1. Four of them have AFL ties, while the other 12 are either present or past AF2 cities. Toledo has not been included on this list, but is reportedly one of 11 cities being considered to join the new league.Bullfrogs President and General Manager Joe Napoli couldn't say much, but he said enough where it's clear the future of the franchise really isn't in AF2. In the last two months, four AF2 franchises, those in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton, Boise, Corpus Christi and Peoria, have shut down their operations for the 2010 season.
If the Bullfrogs don't emerge from the swamp, it's only eight home games or arena dates that will be lost, so the arena owners should be able to find other events as replacements.
I bought season tickets for the Walleye,but had no interest in arena football.I still bought the complete package because there was little difference in the price by adding arena football.I think it was only forty dollars more per seat to add arena football.I am with hockeyfan.I also love hockey and saw three exciting games over the weekend,not to mention the beautiful arena that the Walleye play in.What a nice venue!Also, the parking was a pleasant suprise.I had a much easier time getting out after the game than I did at the old sports arena.

Booo...that stinks...I was looking forward to going to Bullfrog games. I hope the team actually comes to fruition...but I had a feeling all along it would go the way of the once great OHIO CANNON...
posted by ShonuffisDead on Oct 21, 2009 at 10:39:37 am #
Im looking forward to checking out the Bullfrogs play in the new arena. I wish they would get a developmental NBA team.
I don't think the NBA has any plans of bringing a developmental team to Toledo. It would be nice but I don't think it's going to happen, at least that's what my cousin told me the last time I talked to him. That may change down the road though.
posted by lfrost2125 on Oct 27, 2009 at 03:11:57 pm #
Honestly I don't plan to go. Perhaps once just to see what the differences are between it an regular NFL/college football.
More psyched for the Walleye. Do plan to go to as many games as I can afford in money or time.
posted by INeedCoffee on Oct 27, 2009 at 04:42:40 pm #
Maybe Toledo can lobby to bring over NBA/Detroit Piston's farm team the Mad Ants from Indiana. It would make more sense to have them here than Fort Wayne...I know its highly unlikely, but it would be nice.
>>>Maybe Toledo can lobby to bring over NBA/Detroit Piston's farm team the Mad Ants from Indiana.<<<
I can mention it to my cousin and see what he says about it. Like you said I highly doubt but it never hurts to ask, and see if there is anyway he can get the ball rolling.

A 10-day architectural workshop hosted by the AA Rome Visiting School entitled Form as (Dynamic) Unknown will be held 8-19 May 2013 and will be an experimental laboratory in which kinetic interactive structures are researched and designed. International students will develop novel solutions, building upon the experiments of great Italian innovators.
Drawing on the work of Leonardo Da Vinci, participants design robotic systems inspired by nature. Projects will transform by adapting to environmental conditions and social behaviours happening at real and virtual levels. The internet, similar to the SuperSurface prophesied by SuperStudio, is considered as the virtual layer of data-exchange cutting across Rome and the rest of the world.
By the end of the workshop students will have developed their own interpretation of the future of architecture. Advancing design strategies that embrace the complex and unpredictable nature of the city will lead to forms as '(dynamic) unknown'.
The workshop is structured into three main stages with the aim of achieving innovative solutions to the many design themes proposed by the tutors. Lectures on current mainstream and academic research are integral to the whole workshop
- The first phase of the course includes a series of tutorials regarding digital parametric modelling with Grasshopper and robotics with Arduino board
- In the second phase, based on the methods acquired, the students develop in groups their projects, using analogue and digital techniques
- In the last phase they join experiments based on physical models to development of algorithmic tools and robots. Customized parts of these machines get digitally fabricated

Most Helpful Reviews
Its amazing! - I'm in preaching school and it's a real convenience, especially if you have to compare translations. I recommend this app!
Stopped working - It was really wonderful when it worked but won't even open now. I can't attribute the problem to any one situation on my computer. It's too bad, too, because it's a wonderful app. I contacted support but can't get a response. I used this app for my job and it's a real inconvenience not to have it. It was an alternative to a much more expensive program. I guess you get what you pay for.
More Reviews for Current Version
so-so - Appreciated all the bible versions & languages. Thought the search feature was inadequate. Needs more flexibility as in "advanced search" of other programs Also, needs better layout of search results (would have returned product if it weren't such a hassle, but that's an Apple issue, not an app issue).
Its amazing! - I'm in preaching school and it's a real convenience, especially if you have to compare translations. I recommend this app!

STATE employees actively furthered and facilitated the loyalist murder of Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane but there was no over-arching conspiracy, a Government-commissioned report has found.
Sir Desmond de Silva's review of the 1989 murder of the Catholic father of three found that collusion by the state went beyond a failure to prevent the crime.
Sir Desmond examined the role of two British agents in the murder and found that another man involved was later also recruited as an agent even though he was suspected in the UDA murder of Mr Finucane.
While the QC accused successive UK Governments of a "wilful and abject failure" to implement an appropriate legal framework for running agents within paramilitary groups, he said no minister was aware of the plot to kill the solicitor.
Prime Minister David Cameron told the House of Commons the murder was "an appalling crime" and said the degree of collusion exposed was "unacceptable".
And he said, in a message to the family: "I am deeply sorry."
The widow of murdered Belfast solicitor Pat Finucane today dismissed the report into his death by Sir Desmond de Silva as "a sham... a whitewash... a confidence trick", telling a London press conference: "This report is not the truth."
Renewing her call for a full public inquiry into her husband's 1989 death, Geraldine Finucane said that the British Government had suppressed the truth and attempted to throw all blame on dead individuals and disbanded organisations while exonerating ministers, serving officers and existing security agencies.
Mrs Finucane said: "Yet another British government has engineered a suppression of the truth behind the murder of my husband, Pat Finucane.
"At every turn it is clear that this report has done exactly what was required - to give the benefit of the doubt to the state, its Cabinet and ministers, to the Army, to the intelligence services and to itself.
"At every turn, dead witnesses have been blamed and defunct agencies found wanting. Serving personnel and active state departments appear to have been excused.
"The dirt has been swept under the carpet without any serious attempt to lift the lid on what really happened to Pat and so many others.
"This report is a sham, this report is a whitewash, this report is a confidence trick dressed up as independent scrutiny and given invisible clothes of reliability. But most of all, most hurtful and insulting of all, this report is not the truth."

(PRWEB UK) 10 March 2014
At "La Triennale di Milano" exhibition hall, CITIZEN will presents "LIGHT is TIME", an inspiring art installation made from 80,000 "ground planes", the structural device that supports all of a watch's components. The visionary concept was developed by Tsuyoshi Tane of DGT, a renowned Paris-based architects studio, together with CITIZEN's in-house Design Team.
Among other highlights, a pocket watch from the 1920s and the latest model will also be on exhibit. Combined with a selection of the best watches and the art installation, the entire exhibit will allow visitors to better understand the Citizen Design allure and the unique watchmaking craftsmanship that fosters excellence and creativity.
DGT was selected by Icon Magazine among the "20 essential young architects" in 2008 and won the Red Dot Award in 2013.

TMZ is reporting that Courtney Love has lost guardianship of her daughter with Kurt Cobain, Francis Bean. The court appointed Kurt Cobain's mother, Wendy O'Connor, and sister, Kimberly Dawn Cobain as her new guardians, citing "a long period of unstable conduct" by Love. I don't know what they mean.
How will this ultimately affect my childhood dream of marrying Francis Bean and starting a rock band? Only time will tell.

Take-Two Responds To EA's NFL Deal
While sports games in general are an important part of Take-Two's product diversification strategy, the licensed NFL game we distributed on behalf of Sega this year was not a material contributor to our profitability to date, nor was it expected to be a meaningful contributor in the upcoming year. We remain committed to continued diversification of our product portfolio, including sports."
"We believe that the decisions of the National Football League and PLAYERS INC to grant an exclusive license for videogames do a tremendous disservice to the consumers and sports fans whose funds ultimately support the NFL, by limiting their choices, curbing creativity and almost certainly leading to higher game prices.

Polish designer Szymon Hanczar managed to squeeze all basics of a proper living space, such as bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, office, longing area, storage, all in this small, unadorned 140 sq ft apartment. And the place looks quite airy too. Pretty amazing. The apartment even includes a washing machine, skillfully hidden inside the built-in closet. I also like the idea of a hammock as a couch substitute. Practically, the same level of lounging, achieved without blocking the view and cutting the floor space in half. See more photos after the break.
This tiny moveable house concept by Polish architect Tomasz Zabłotny, is envisioned as an answer to the unused post-industrial spaces. These houses, each taking a smaller footptint than a parking spot, could fill abandoned rail yards and other open spaces and serve as temporary accommodations for people working at music events, festivals, or involved in other artistic activities. These nomadic shelters fold down when not in use, and unfold, when the occupant is inside. They include all the necessities, such as sleeping area, desk, kitchenette, toilet and shower, as well as some basic storage. Check out the images after the break for a full tour.
This hidden kitchen made me look. Even though it is a small part of an otherwise spacious apartment, designed by DontDIY, it is such a cool idea in itself. Every tiny studio out there simply begs for it.
Architecture firm Elii introduces this project as "refurbishment of a minimal space in the centre of Madrid". Susaloon (the name is drawn from the owner's name, Susanna) combines kitchen, hall, bathroom, storage room, lounge, drawing room, bedroom, all within the 252 sq ft footprint. The secret is in the fold-down furniture, which can be stored away completely for the moments when Susanna entertains or practices yoga. Check out the video after the break to see multiple uses of this fun space.

I love this fun video of a tiny guest house, capable to accommodate three (!) people. The garage sliding bed is my favorite feature. The bathtub in the basement is another one. Available for rent here.
(Thank you, Kelly)
This clever micro loft is a prototype for a hotel room, created by Amsterdam based studio Concrete for the hotel brand Zocu, who will unveil it to their customers this fall. Zoku, which is Japanese for family, tribe, or clan, will disrupt and create a new category in the hotel industry. The place will have the services of a hotel and the social buzz of a thriving neighborhood, envisioned as a relaxed place to live, work and socialize with like-minded people while getting wired into the city. I love the flexibility of the space, and inventiveness of the hidden elements (with the retractable staircase as my absolute favorite). Check out the photos after the break for a complete tour.
Architects Braden Caldwell and Michael Chen of MKCA studio (the creative force behind such brilliant project as Partywall and Unfolding Apartment), unveiled a new inventive New York micro dwelling. Five to One apartment contains the necessary functional and spatial elements for living, working, sleeping, dressing, and entertaining, plus kitchen, dining, and bathing spaces, all within 390 square feet. This was made possible thanks to a motorized sliding storage element, that glides from one end of the room to the other, revealing and exchanging spaces between daytime and nighttime zones. As the moving volume pulls away from the wall, it opens a dressing room zone with built-in dresser drawers and clothing storage. Fully extended, the space for a queen-sized fold-down bed is created. The TV set rotates 180 degrees for viewing from the seating area, or the bed and dressing rooms. When the bed is closed the bedroom space is returned to the living and working spaces of the apartment. A pair of white sliding doors open up either the desk or the entertainment area. A dedicated dining area, large enough for four people, was created adjacent to the living room. In spite of the modest size of the place, the kitchen is quite spacious and contains generous storage. The crisp whiteness of the walls and other structural elements of the apartment contributes to the illusion of a much bigger space.

This studio in Manhattan, NY, is only 340 square feet. Designed by Allen + Killcoyne Architects, it is an epitome of pragmatic approach to space. In spite of its modest size, the place looks airy, all thanks to the clever color scheme and thoughtful space-saving accents. The kitchen is angled around the bathroom unit, and it actually boasts some counter space – a true luxury in shoebox living. And so is storage, which is also plentiful here. Floor-to-ceiling closets and multiple built-ins take full advantage of the ceiling height. See more photos and a floor plan after the break.
This minimalist 45 square meter apartment in Rome used to be the building's water deposit area. The architect Camila Ormond converted it into a studio with a terrace. The focal and functional center of the apartment is the bookshelf. It hides a dining table on one side and a desk on another side, provides privacy to the bedroom area and gives perspective and depth to the space. To create an illusion of airiness, Ormond used a unified color throughout the interior. The kitchen hides behind what appears to be a closet door, another visually streamlining trick. See more views and a floorplan after the break.

The words "luxury" and "tiny" rarely go together, but this house in Aurora, Oregon, amazingly combines the two notions in one clever package. The creator of a house, Chris Heininge, was inspired by his travel to the East, especially to Japan. He tried to implement the same principles of beautiful and simplified living, the Japanese are so good at. The result is an American take on an Eastern idea. The house features everything one needs for comfortable existence: fully equipped kitchen, queen size bedroom, lots of hidden storage, and even spoils like fireplace and jacuzzi tub. Oversized windows provide enough light for it to feel cozy but not claustrophobic. The asking price is 70K. See more photos after the break.

Ethoxyquin is a synthetic antioxidant added to chili powder, ground chili, and paprika as a preservative to retain color. This is the only major function that ethoxyquin use has gained approval for as a direct food additive for human consumption. And according to the FDA, it cannot exceed levels past 100 ppm (parts per million). Ethoxyquin is a yellow liquid with molecular weight 217.3. It is insoluble in water, but soluble in organic solvents and has a boiling point of 123°C to 125°C. As a preservative, it works as well or better than BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole, the synthetic antioxidant used to retard rancidity in foods), yet it is not considered natural or clean-label friendly (can be included on a clear, understandable list of non-artificial ingredients and no added chemicals). Some studies have shown ethoxyquin to be effective in crawfish meal and fish oils as an antioxidant. It works especially well in conjunction with lecithin when preserving oils or fats. It will also inhibit, in bacon, nitrosamine formation at very low levels. These are currently not approved uses in the United States per the Code of Federal Regulations.
Ethoxyquin is also used in animal feed and as a pesticide to control scalding in pears (scalding is an abnormal condition where a fruit's skin is discolored and wrinkled due to excessive sunlight, gases, etc.) The EPA regulates its use as a pesticide, and the FDA regulates its use in animal feed.
For animal feed, ethoxyquin has restricted usage levels. These are based on the amount ethoxyquin remaining in or on the animal or animal product for livestock and also the total amount of ethoxyquin allowed in pet food. Some of the limits are not more than 0.5 ppm in uncooked muscle and not more than 5 ppm on uncooked fat of meat products, excluding poultry. In poultry the residual level allowed is 3 ppm.
Ethoxyquin is used in pet food. There has been controversy on the usage of this in pet food due to related health issues including thyroid and kidney problems, reproductive problems, and cancer. Due to these findings, the FDA lowered the level permitted in pet food to 75 ppm.
As a pesticide, ethoxyquin is an anti-scalding agent and is used on pears to prevent brown spots. The EPA considers ethoxyquin to be a minor-use chemical because production is less than 25,000 lbs per year. The amount of residual ethoxyquin allowed per FDA on pears is not to exceed 3 ppm.
There are no major health concerns with ethoxyquin when consumed at certain levels. It is only permitted at very low levels in food and does not appear to affect health in a negative or positive manner. On the other hand, ethoxyquin is an irritant and can cause dermatitis when handled. It is also an eye irritant, so special precautions should be taken when working with or handling the chemical. Some studies have shown ethoxyquin to cause kidney damage in rats, so it should not be consumed alone or in levels higher than those accepted per the FDA due to its toxicity at high levels.
Ethoxyquin is a synthetic compound and can be prepared a few different ways. One way to produce it is from p-phenetidine-acetone. The ethoxyquin is synthesized by reacting the anil via heat with p-phenetidine and toluenesulfonic acid. This reaction has an 85% yield of ethoxyquin. Ethoxyquin was introduced as a pesticide in 1965 as an anti-scald agent for pears and apples. Originally, ethoxyquin was developed by Monsanto in the 1950's as a stabilizer. Monsanto is a biotechnology company that still developing and selling high performing pesticides.

- The donor gives assets to a trust and receives income for a designated period of time or until death. After that time, the remaining assets go to the Mount.
The donor creates one of two types of irrevocable trusts:
- A Charitable Remainder Annuity Trust pays a fixed dollar amount -- not less than 5 percent -- to the donor, or one or more beneficiaries, leaving the remainder to the Mount.
- A Charitable Remainder Unitrust pays a fixed percentage -- of 5 percent or more of the net fair market value of its assets -- to the donor, or one or more beneficiaries, leaving the remainder to the Mount.
The trust must pay a fixed percentage or dollar amount annually for a term less than 20 years, or for the life, or lives, of individual beneficiaries.
When payments to the individual terminate, the remainder of the trust is transferred to the Mount.
- The donor can give a larger gift for the ultimate benefit of the Mount and still retain a lifetime income.
- With a unitrust, the donor or other individuals receive income that increases as the trust assets appreciate (although if the value depreciates, income will decrease).
- With an annuity trust, the donor is guaranteed a fixed income from the trust.
Tax Consequences
- The donor receives a current income, gift, or estate tax deduction for the present value of the charitable remainder interest.
- The donor avoids capital gains tax if the gift is made with appreciated property.

Outdoor recreation is what Big Sky is all about. It's what drew the first outdoor enthusiasts here in the early 1970s, and what still brings folks out today for vacations and well-rounded living. Although known for legendary skiing and easy access to Yellowstone National Park, today there are more ways than ever to truly enjoy the Big Sky area and immerse yourself into the great outdoors. Whether it's escaping into the solitude of the backcountry wilderness on horseback or by foot or experiencing adventures in the front-country on area rivers, there are so many ways to spend your day in Big Sky in both summer and winter.
Skiing & Snowboarding
Located in Southwest Montana, Big Sky is lucky to be its own ski town. There are many activities right in town and at Big Sky Resort – hint skiing and snowboarding. Big Sky is home to THE BIGGEST SKIING IN AMERICA with 5,800 acres of skiable terrain and 4,350 feet of vertical spanning across four different mountains, plus we're known for no-wait lift lines! You can take in the view of 3 states and 2 national parks from the top of Lone Peak at 11,166 feet. Take the mid-mountain tram up and either ski down or enjoy the scenic ride back down. Big Sky Resort has the best mix of terrain:
Nordic Skiing
Big Sky is home to Lone Mountain Ranch, voted the #1 Nordic Ski Resort in North America by Cross Country Skier magazine. With 85 kilometers of groomed trails and a trail system that encompasses 2,200 vertical feet, there is terrain for all abilities and enough space to feel a sense of quiet alpine solitude without having to bust your own trail. Lone Mountain Ranch has Professional Ski Instructors of America (PSIA) certified instructors to teach all levels, guided tours and gear rentals. Both season passes and day tickets are available.
Along with Lone Mountain Ranch's groomed trails, there are a number of backcountry trails to explore throughout the Gallatin National Forest, ranging from mellow gliding to more rigorous terrain. Some popular trails include Porcupine Creek, Teepee Creek, and Beehive Basin, among many others. Area outdoor shops can recommend trails with the best ski conditions.
Trek through the snow and experience the tranquility of the winter backcountry at your own pace, with snowshoe excursions on many miles of Big Sky trails. Explore on your own, or travel with a guide to learn more about the winter wildlife and the Big Sky environment. Lone Mountain Ranch has 18 km of trails for snowshoeing! Snowshoe rentals and trail info is available at many of the outdoor shops.
Ice Skating
An ice skating excursion can top off a perfect winter day in Big Sky. Big Sky's Town Center features a full-size hockey and ice-skating rink. Ice skate rentals are available at EAST SLOPE OUTDOORS and GRIZZLY OUTFITTERS in Town Center.
Fly Fishing
Big Sky, Montana is surrounded by blue ribbon trout fishing, with rivers, alpine lakes and mountain streams, making the area a fly-fishing paradise. The legendary Gallatin River, where scenes from "A River Runs Through It" were filmed, flows right through Big Sky's Gallatin Canyon. Throughout the winding canyon are numerous fishing holes and walk/wade access for all experience levels, along with spectacular scenery.
There are a number of fly-fishing shops with guide services, offering trips on the Gallatin, Madison, and Yellowstone Rivers and sometimes to more remote alpine lakes and spring creeks. For those new to fishing, experienced guides can teach you everything from how to tie knots to the perfect casting techniques and for those more experience, you can learn about the best fishing holes and which flies to throw during that time of year. Lucky for us, fly fishing isn't just a summer activity. You can fish anytime of the year!
Whitewater Rafting
Interlaced with rivers and streams, fly fishing isn't all that Montana waterways are known for. Winter run-off and brisk currents provide lots of exciting whitewater rafting as well. You can float through rollicking whitewater or gentle riffles, equipped with the safest gear and a knowledgeable guides. The northern Yellowstone Park area is an incredibly rich ecosystem of wildlife and wild terrain. And wild rivers... Rafting the Gallatin River through the canyon can be one of the most fun and exciting things you may do.
There are many opportunities for road biking, mountain biking, or just cruising around town in Big Sky. A well-maintained bike path travels from the popular Ousel Falls trailhead passed the Big Sky Town Center through the Meadow Village, down to the Canyon and south along Highway 191 to Ophir School. Big Sky area bike shops can provide trail maps and all the gear you'll need, to rent or for purchase.
Road bikers can travel the scenic mountain roads and highways, choosing routes through the twists and turns of the Gallatin Canyon/Highway 191 from the Bozeman area into the boundaries of Yellowstone National Park and on to West Yellowstone. Some pedal right from their door to the Big Sky Spur Road, for a 10-plus mile journey that heads up from Big Sky's Meadow Village to the Big Sky Mountain Village and on to Moonlight Basin.
Slay the singletrack and pedal your way to some mountain peaks and great views with numerous well-maintained trails and mountain bike friendly dirt roads around the Big Sky area. The mountain bike terrain ranges from mild to rigorous with most trails leading to some of the best views in the Rockies. Some popular trails include: Porcupine, Garnet Mountain, Ramshorn Lake, Mica Creek and many more. Some of the best single track and downhill mountain biking can also be found on Lone Mountain at Big Sky Resort, with lift access and a well kept trail system with terrain for all levels.
Tee-off right in the heart of Big Sky's Meadow Village, with a backdrop of the towering Lone Peak at the Arnold Palmer-designed BIG SKY RESORT GOLF COURSE. This scenic 18-hole, par-72 course is at an elevation of 6,500 feet, with sweeping views, long drives, and the occasional deer, moose, or elk crossing the greens.
The Big Sky Golf Course has a full-service pro shop with gear sales and rentals along with golf lessons, clinics and tournaments throughout the summer.
Horseback Riding
There's nothing like exploring Big Sky Country on the back of a horse. Not only is it the quintessential Western way to travel, but it's also an exciting way to get further into the backcountry. Hop into the saddle with one of the area's outfitters, and head out for half or full-day journey into the wilderness in both summer and winter. With trails for all skill levels, experienced wranglers can explain the basics to beginners and explore more exciting terrain with advanced riders.
Imagine standing on a peak, looking out over the sprawling Rocky Mountains at many more peaks looming in the distance as far as the eye can see. Big Sky, Montana is cradled between the Spanish Peaks and the Gallatin Mountain Ranges, with the Madison Range in the distance. The abundant hiking opportunities in Big Sky include trails for all levels, from meandering wildflower walks to more rugged climbs, and everything in between. No matter your ability or location, you should always carry bear spray with you!
Many of the more popular hikes lead to amazing destinations, making each journey well worth the effort, with high mountain lakes – Lava Lake, Hidden Lakes, Beehive Basin and Ramshorn Lake – and towering lookouts at Cinnamon, Garnet, and Storm Castle. Many outdoor shops in the area have trail maps, hiking books and experienced hikers on staff to lead you towards a trail that's perfect for your skill level.
The boundary of Yellowstone National Park is just 15 miles south of Big Sky. There are many options for day hikes or overnights within the Park.
Warren Miller Performing Arts Center
The mission of the Warren Miller Performing Arts Center is to establish and maintain a clear and stable artistic infrastructure to grow a community of confident performers and inspired audiences. The Warren Miller Performing Arts Center (WMPAC), is located in Big Sky's Gallatin Canyon, at Big Sky's Ophir School campus. The Center's namesake, ski movie icon Warren Miller, and his wife Laurie spend half of their time in Big Sky. The Arts Center was named in honor of Miller in part due to his involvement in the community, and also because his legacy demonstrates a bridge between skiing and the arts. Along with national acts, the WMPAC hosts art events and education within the local community, including The Big Sky Community Theatre program for all area adults with a passion to perform and the Big Sky Community Chorus for those who enjoy singing. Ophir School students also benefit; during the school day, students fill the center with their ideas and talents under the supervision of a faculty of drama, visual arts and music professionals.
Big Sky Arts Council
Wants Big Sky to remain a beautiful place where the expression, enjoyment and education of the Arts will inspire and sustain a healthy and vibrant community. The Arts Council of Big Sky provides residents and visitors and artists with premier events, education and creative opportunities in the Arts. Events Include: Music in the Mountains free summer concert series; Big Sky Classical Music Festival; Shakespeare in the Parks; Madrigal Dinner; annual 'Nutcracker' performance; Auction for the Arts Fundraiser Gala; Telluride MountainFilm on Tour; and many more!

Raymond Stock, a literary researcher here, told me that an Arab friend summed up the mood this way: "Iraq is like a plane that has been hijacked. If the American commandos can free the plane without harming the passengers, then most people will be relieved."
Then why is George Bush so intensely disliked? In part, it's because people feel he and his team have stopped talking to the world. They only growl at it now. But the biggest factor remains the Bush team's seeming indifference to making any serious effort to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict when so much killing is going on. The administration's refusal to apply any creative imagination to defusing this conflict, and even belittling it while calling Ariel Sharon "a man of peace", has embittered the Arab public. This now clouds everything the US does in the region. Invading Iraq is cast as a war to protect Israel. Democratisation is cast as a way to punish the Arabs.
Yes, official Arab newspapers and TV have nourished Arab anger towards the US and Israel for decades and still do. And one regime after another has exploited this conflict for political purposes. But when you sit in a room at the US ambassador's house with 30 bright young Egyptian entrepreneurs, mostly US-educated, and this issue is practically all they want to talk about - or American studies students at Cairo University tell you that many students in their class refused to play a simulation game of the US Congress for fear of being tainted - you feel there has to be something authentic in their anger about this open wound.
Until it is sealed, it will remain a well for the "thoughts of mass destruction" that will energise every radical anti-American group in the region. I am convinced that much of the anger over US policy is really a cry of help from people who know what they have to do - to democratise, liberalise their economies - and who know they will be lost for another 50 years if they don't, but can't do it because these ideas are promoted by a power they feel is indifferent to their deepest hurt.
I am not talking about what is right or what is fair or even what is rational. I am talking about what is. And if we ignore it, if we dismiss it all as a fraud, we will never fully harvest the positive changes that could come from regime change in Iraq. The Egyptian playwright Ali Salem says: "We have an Egyptian proverb: 'The drunk is in the care of the sober.' You are the sober. Don't forget that."

The national media continue to tout Georgia's soon-to-be-open U.S. Senate seat as one that could end up going Democrat in a year that otherwise seems to look great for the GOP.
The outlook for Tuesday's contest might tell us a great deal not only about Georgia but about trends developing across the nation.
In a crowded field, three candidates have emerged.
But none of the three fits the "right wing extremist" category that Democrats were hoping to see win the Republican nomination.
The Democrats' candidate, Michelle Nunn, daughter of former Sen. Sam Nunn, is waiting with strong polling numbers, plenty of cash and a virtually guaranteed nomination against marginal Democratic opposition.
The good news for the Republicans is that the three individuals who are pressing to make an almost certain runoff in July are considered attractive candidates and strong conservatives in a state where moderate-to-conservative views still dominate.
Businessman David Perdue leads in the polls. He has been successful in the private sector and has the active backing of his cousin, former Gov. Sonny Perdue.
U.S. Rep. Jack Kingston has the backing of the state's business community.
He is locked in a battle for second place in the polls with former Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel.
She came close to edging out Nathan Deal in a GOP runoff for governor in 2010.
But Handel's campaign tactics against Deal rubbed some, including Deal, the wrong way.
Deal is now governor.
Fortunately for Handel, Deal can hardly play kingmaker this year, given that his approval ratings are anemic and he faces a tough re-election battle against state Sen. Jason Carter, grandson of former President Jimmy Carter.
But the damage and ill will created in her race against Deal have left Handel cut off from big money.
And that's where this story gets interesting.
Based on all estimates, turnout for the primary will be tepid.
That means that television commercials designed to air to the masses won't have as big of an impact as they did just four years ago.
That's helpful to Handel because she is airing her TV spots primarily through social media.
The lackadaisical attitude of voters toward this primary should give Republicans pause for concern.
Is it possible, with President Barack Obama's approval ratings creeping up, that the GOP could be bitten by the same "turnout bug" that bit Mitt Romney in 2012?
As many or more Georgia voters identify themselves as Democrats or "independent voters" as Republicans.
Much of the national media is convinced that Michelle Nunn, who is currently running ahead of each of the potential GOP nominees in the polls, is set to take Georgia's Senate seat and provide a possible barrier to a Republican Senate takeover.
But Nunn has yet to face the attacks to link her to Obama and other liberals.
Even if Nunn outperforms her Republican opponent in November, she must win a majority of the vote to avoid a runoff.
She would stand little chance of winning that runoff.
Republicans need to examine Georgia's unenthused Republican electorate and determine if "the turnout bug" could bite them again this year.

Signs and tips from the Centers of Disease and Control Prevention for protecting yourself and others from the flu:
People who have the flu often feel some or all of these signs and symptoms:
*It's important to note that not everyone with flu will have a fever.
The single best way to prevent the flu is to get a flu vaccine each season. There are two types of flu vaccines:
About two weeks after vaccination, antibodies develop that protect against influenza virus infection. Flu vaccines will not protect against flu-like illnesses caused by non-influenza viruses.
The seasonal flu vaccine protects against the three influenza viruses that research suggests will be most common.

For Patients & Caregivers
How It Works
Ginkgo does not improve memory or cognitive functioning in healthy people. It was also found ineffective in decreasing the occurrence of dementia or Alzheimer's disease in elderly individuals.
Scientists have found that ginkgo dilates blood vessels in the brain in animals and humans, thereby increasing blood flow to the brain. This enables the body to handle ischemic (low oxygen) conditions, which can help prevent tissue damage. In animal studies, ginkgo showed a beneficial effect on smooth muscle tone found in arteries, maintaining their appropriate dilation and constriction. Experiments have also revealed that ginkgo can reduce inflammation and calm muscle spasms. As an antioxidant, it can also neutralize free radicals in the body, which cause cellular and DNA damage. Laboratory and animal experiments suggest that ginkgo can help prevent infections. Ginkgo also inhibits platelet-activating factor, which is important for blood clotting, and therefore has blood thinning qualities.
Ginkgo supplementation may increase risk of stroke.
Purported Uses
- To reduce stress and anxiety
There are no data to back this claim.
- To treat asthma and bronchitis
A single study supports this use.
- To manage heart disease
There is no scientific evidence to support this claim.
- To treat circulatory problems
Studies in animals and humans have shown that ginkgo can increase blood flow, but clinical trials do not support this use.
- To treat sudden hearing loss
Several clinical trials support this use.
- To treat tinnitus
There are no data to support this use.
- To prevent memory loss
Although clinical trials support this use in patients with dementia, recent studies suggest that healthy adults may not benefit from ginkgo.
- To treat dementia and Alzheimer's disease
Results from clinical studies are inconclusive.
- To treat Raynaud's disease
Laboratory studies show that ginkgo can calm muscle spasms and maintain the tone of arteries, but these effects were not observed in human clinical trials.
- To treat sexual dysfunction
An herbal mixture containing ginkgo was found effective in treating sexual dysfunction.
- To treat acute mountain sickness
Data are conflicting on ginkgo's ability in treating acute mountain sickness.
Patient Warnings
Do Not Take If
- You have a blood clotting disorder.
- You have a history of seizures.
- You are at risk for stroke (Ginkgo may increase this risk.
- You are taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO-Is) (Ginkgo may have additive effects).
- You are taking warfarin or any other blood thinner (Ginkgo may have additive effects, increasing the risk of spontaneous bleeding).
- You are taking antipsychotic medication or prochlorperazine (Ginkgo may cause seizures when combined with these medications).
- You are taking insulin (Ginkgo can alter insulin secretion and effect blood glucose levels).
- You are taking trazodone (In one case, ginkgo extract was associated with coma in a woman with Alzheimer's disease who was also taking trazodone. Use with caution and ask your doctor).
- You are taking Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) (Ginkgo can have additive anticoagulant/antiplatelet effects).
- You are taking drugs that are substrates of Cytochrome P450 3A4 (Ginkgo may increase the risk of side effects of these drugs).
- You are taking drugs that are substrates of P-Glycoprotein (Ginkgo may increase the risk of side effects of these drugs).
- You are taking Efavirenz (a antiretroviral drug) (Ginkgo may reduce its effectiveness).
- You are taking drugs that are substrates of UGT (Uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase) enzymes (Ginkgo may increase the risk of side effects of these drugs).
- You are taking Amlodipine (a calcium channel blocker): (Ginkgo leaf tablet, a multiherbal formula containing ginkgo, may increase the risk of side effects of this drug).
Side Effects
Case reports:
- In a few patients who were predisposed to seizures or on medications that lower the seizure threshold (e.g. prochlorperazine, chlorpromazine, perphenazine, etc.), ginkgo may have induced seizures.
- A few cases of spontaneous bleeding, including hematomas (collections of blood in organs or tissues due to a broken blood vessel) and hyphema (hemorrhage within the eye), have been reported.
- A patient with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency developed acute hemolytic anemia after receiving an injection of G. biloba for dementia. Her symptoms resolved following intravenous fluid infusion and discontinuation of G. biloba.
For Healthcare Professionals
Clinical Summary
Ginkgo biloba is one of the oldest living tree species. It is cultivated around the world for its medicinal properties and aesthetic value. The seeds and the leaves have been used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat respiratory diseases, circulatory disorders, sexual dysfunction, and loss of hearing. Ginkgo extracts exhibit anti-infective (1), chemopreventive (2), anticancer (3), and cytotoxic (4) effects in vitro. Supplementation with ginkgo improved cognitive performance in healthy adults (5), and in patients with dementia (6) although data are conflicting (7) (8) (9) (10) (11). In a study of older adults with normal cognition or with mild cognitive impairment (32), gingko did not slow down cognitive decline. And findings from the Gingko Evaluation of Memory (GEM) study, the largest trial of ginkgo for dementia to date, indicate that ginkgo is ineffective in decreasing the incidence of dementia or Alzheimer's disease in elderly individuals (30); another randomized trial reported similar findings (43). However, ginkgo may be effective as a short-term treatment to improve memory in Alzheimer's patients, although taking ginkgo supplements regularly does not prevent dementia (55). In other studies, it was found less effective than standard treatment for ADHD in children (37). Ginkgo may also reduce the severity of acute mountain sickness, but the evidence is mixed (25) (26) (27) (28). More studies are warranted.
Ginkgo's anticancer potential has been explored as well. It has been implicated in reducing the risk of ovarian cancer, although based only on epidemiological and biological data (12). Orally administered capsules of ginkgo exocarp polysaccharides reduced the tumor area in patients with gastric cancer (4). In another study, an injectable form of ginkgo extract and 5-flurouracil were administered to patients with advanced colorectal cancer. Data suggests benefits of the combination therapy (13). But data from the GEM study, in which cancer was the secondary outcome, do not support gingko's effectiveness in reducing cancer risk (38). Ginkgo supplementation was also reported ineffective in preventing chemotherapy-associated cognitive dysfunction in a randomized controlled trial of breast cancer patients (45).
Interestingly, high doses of a ginkgo extract showed carcinogenic effects in a murine model (44). However, dietary supplements in use today have much smaller concentrations of ginkgo.
Purported Uses
Mechanism of Action
Ginkgo interacts with several cytochrome P450 enzymes. Pretreatment with G. biloba extract was shown to induce the expression of CYP3A protein and mRNA, and increased CYP3A activity (34). It also inhibits CYP2B6 catalytic activity and bupropion hydroxylation (36). In other studies, ginkgo was shown to play a role in decreasing high-glucose-induced endothelial inflammation via inhibition of interleukin-6 activation (49), and repeated intake of Ginkgo enhanced cell proliferation and neuroblast differentiation (50). The flavonoids present in ginkgo extracts were found to inhibit estrogen biosynthesis via aromatase inhibition, decrease CYP19 mRNA, and induce transcriptional suppression. These findings suggest a role for ginkgo as an adjuvant treatment for breast cancer (56).
The present study demonstrated that three flavonoids synergistically inhibit estrogen biosynthesis through aromatase inhibition, decrease CYP19 mRNA, and induce transcriptional suppression. Our results support the usefulness of flavonoids in adjuvant therapy for breast cancer by reducing estrogen levels with reduced adverse effects due to estrogen depletion
The chemopreventive ability of bilobalide, a terpene trilactone, is thought to be via alterations in cryptal cell proliferation and drug-metabolizing enzyme activities (2). The exocarp polysaccharides from ginkgo were shown to affect the expression of c-myc, bcl-2 and c-fos genes, which can inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis and differentiation of human gastric tumor cells (4).
Adverse Reactions
Case reports:
Seizures were reported in patients predisposed to seizures or on medications that lower the seizure threshold (e.g. prochlorperazine, chlorpromazine, perphenazine, etc.) (17).
Spontaneous bleeding (18), including hematomas (15) (19), hyphema (20), and cerebral bleeding (41) have also been reported.
A patient with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) deficiency developed acute hemolytic anemia after receiving an injection of G. biloba for dementia prophylaxis. Her symptoms resolved following intravenous fluid infusion and discontinuation of G. biloba (53).
Herb-Drug Interactions
- Monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAO-I): Ginkgo may potentiate the effects of MAO-Is.
- Anticoagulants / Antiplatelets: Ginkgo may induce spontaneous bleeding possibly associated with reduced platelet aggregation resulting from inhibition of platelet activating factor by ginkgolide components (21).
- Antipsychotics / Prochlorperazine: Ginkgo may cause seizures when combined with medications that lower the seizure threshold (17).
- Insulin: Ginkgo can alter insulin secretion and affect blood glucose levels (22) (23).
- Cytochrome P450 substrates: Studies show that ginkgo can inhibit and induce the CYP450 1A2, 2D6, and 3A4 enzymes but data are conflicting (24) (34) (35) (36) (39) (40).
- P-Glycoprotein substrates: Ginkgo inhibits P-glycoprotein and can therefore interfere with drugs that are transported by P-glycoprotein (33).
- Trazodone: Ginkgo extract was associated with coma in a patient with Alzheimer's disease who was also taking trazodone (21).
- Nonsteroidal Anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS): Ginkgo can have additive anticoagulant/antiplatelet effects (31).
- Efavirenz: Ginkgo may inhibit its effects (40) (51)
- UGT (Uridine 5'-diphospho-glucuronosyltransferase) substrates: Ginkgo modulates UGT enzymes in vitro and can increase the side effects of drugs metabolized by them (42).
- Amlodipine: Ginkgo leaf tablet, a multiherbal formula containing ginkgo, was shown to inhibit the metabolism of amlodipine in a rat model (57).
- MATE1 substrates: Isorhamnetin, a compound present in ginkgo was shown to be a strong inhibitor of the human multidrug and toxic compounds extrusion transporter 1 (hMATE1), responsible for the excretion of various drugs in the kidney and liver (54).

I must try some of these tips.
Really awesome photos!! Great tips!!
Visiting from the 5M4M power team.
I like no. 8 Give a sense of scale. That's a good technique for nature photos and beyond.
I'm so glad that the ineerntt allows free info like this!
