Christmas is almost upon us, but before you plunge into your gifts with unabridled avarice, please take a moment to reflect on the carnage that was Black Friday 2011. We talk about an unfortunate incident here in Arizona where police bloody and bruise and then handcuff a poor old grandpa who was only trying to protect his grandson during a Black Friday Free for All. The video proof is below. Police say that they used standard police procedure, which included "sweeping the leg." Looks like someone trained at Cobra Kai Dojo.
The album art for this episode if you look at your iPod or media player is the sensai from Cobra Kai. But if you look to the right here, you'll see that our blog post picture is a lovely soccer mom. Yup, here is the picture we promised of this episode's Soccer Mom, in all her pharmaceutical glory. Gaze upon her.

Concept: Ulcerative colitis
Efficacy of Vedolizumab Induction and Maintenance Therapy in Patients With Ulcerative Colitis, Regardless of Prior Exposure to TNF Antagonists
The efficacy and safety of vedolizumab, a humanized immunoglobulin G1 monoclonal antibody against the integrin α4β7, was demonstrated in multicenter, phase 3, randomized, placebo-controlled trials in patients with moderately to severely active ulcerative colitis (UC) or Crohn's disease. We analyzed data from 1 of these trials to determine the effects of vedolizumab therapy in patients with UC, based on past exposure to anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) agents.
Smoking cessation induces profound changes in the composition of the intestinal microbiota in humans
The human intestinal microbiota is a crucial factor in the pathogenesis of various diseases, such as metabolic syndrome or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Yet, knowledge about the role of environmental factors such as smoking (which is known to influence theses aforementioned disease states) on the complex microbial composition is sparse. We aimed to investigate the role of smoking cessation on intestinal microbial composition in 10 healthy smoking subjects undergoing controlled smoking cessation.

Therapeutic helminth infection of macaques with idiopathic chronic diarrhea alters the inflammatory signature and mucosal microbiota of the colon.
- PLoS pathogens
- Published over 6 years ago
- Discuss
Idiopathic chronic diarrhea (ICD) is a leading cause of morbidity amongst rhesus monkeys kept in captivity. Here, we show that exposure of affected animals to the whipworm Trichuris trichiura led to clinical improvement in fecal consistency, accompanied by weight gain, in four out of the five treated monkeys. By flow cytometry analysis of pinch biopsies collected during colonoscopies before and after treatment, we found an induction of a mucosal T(H)2 response following helminth treatment that was associated with a decrease in activated CD4(+) Ki67+ cells. In parallel, expression profiling with oligonucleotide microarrays and real-time PCR analysis revealed reductions in T(H)1-type inflammatory gene expression and increased expression of genes associated with IgE signaling, mast cell activation, eosinophil recruitment, alternative activation of macrophages, and worm expulsion. By quantifying bacterial 16S rRNA in pinch biopsies using real-time PCR analysis, we found reduced bacterial attachment to the intestinal mucosa post-treatment. Finally, deep sequencing of bacterial 16S rRNA revealed changes to the composition of microbial communities attached to the intestinal mucosa following helminth treatment. Thus, the genus Streptophyta of the phylum Cyanobacteria was vastly increased in abundance in three out of five ICD monkeys relative to healthy controls, but was reduced to control levels post-treatment; by contrast, the phylum Tenericutes was expanded post-treatment. These findings suggest that helminth treatment in primates can ameliorate colitis by restoring mucosal barrier functions and reducing overall bacterial attachment, and also by altering the communities of attached bacteria. These results also define ICD in monkeys as a tractable preclinical model for ulcerative colitis in which these effects can be further investigated.
Analysis of the genetic basis of disease in the context of worldwide human relationships and migration
- PLoS genetics
- Published almost 6 years ago
- Discuss
Genetic diversity across different human populations can enhance understanding of the genetic basis of disease. We calculated the genetic risk of 102 diseases in 1,043 unrelated individuals across 51 populations of the Human Genome Diversity Panel. We found that genetic risk for type 2 diabetes and pancreatic cancer decreased as humans migrated toward East Asia. In addition, biliary liver cirrhosis, alopecia areata, bladder cancer, inflammatory bowel disease, membranous nephropathy, systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, ulcerative colitis, and vitiligo have undergone genetic risk differentiation. This analysis represents a large-scale attempt to characterize genetic risk differentiation in the context of migration. We anticipate that our findings will enable detailed analysis pertaining to the driving forces behind genetic risk differentiation.

Probiotics for human health -new innovations and emerging trends.
- Gut pathogens
- Published over 6 years ago
- Discuss
The role of the gut microbiome in human health and disease with a particular emphasis on therapeutic use of probiotics under specific medical conditions was mainly highlighted in 1st Annual conference of Probiotic Association of India (PAi) and International Symposium on "Probiotics for Human Health - New Innovations and Emerging Trends" held on 27th-28th August, 2012 at New Delhi, India. There is increasing recognition of the fact that dysbiosis or alteration of this gut microbiome may be implicated in gastro-intestinal disorders including diarrheal diseases, ulcerative colitis, inflammatory bowel diseases, life style diseases viz. Diabetes Mellitus-2 and obesity etc. This report summarizes the proceedings of the conference and the symposium comprehensively. Although, research on probiotics has been continuing for the past few decades, the subject has been currently the major focus of attention across the world due to recent advances and new developments in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics and emergence of new generation of high through put sequencing technologies that have immensely helped in understanding the probiotic functionality and mode of action from nutritional and health perspectives. There is now sufficient evidence backed up with good quality scientific clinical data to suggest that probiotic interventions could indeed be effective in various types of diarrheal diseases, other chronic gastrointestinal inflammatory disorders like pouchitis, necrotizing entero-colitis, allergic responses and lactose intolerance etc. This report makes a modest attempt to give all the stake holders involved in development of probiotic based functional/health foods an overview of the current status of probiotics research at the Global and National level. The most crucial issues that emerged from the lead talks delivered by the eminent speakers from India and abroad were the major focus of discussions in different plenary and technical sessions. By discussing some of these issues from scientific perspectives, the conference could achieve its prime objective of disseminating the current knowledge on the prospects of probiotics as potential biotherapeutics in the management of human health and diseases.
Long-Term Outcome of Patients with Crohn's Disease that Responds to Azathioprine.
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Little is known about the long-term outcomes of patients with Crohn's disease (CD) who have a complete response to therapy with azathioprine. We assessed the long-term effects of azathioprine in responders. METHODS: We collected data from the MICISTA registry (a database from the Rothschild and Saint-Antoine Hospitals in Paris, France) on consecutive CD patients treated with azathioprine 1987-1999 who responded to therapy (steroid-free clinical remission at 1 year); they were followed until 2011 (n=220; 86 male; median age 32 years; median follow-up period, 12.6 years). Data were compared with those from 440 matched patients with CD who did not receive immunosuppressants during the same period of inclusion (controls). RESULTS: The cumulative rate of sustained remission 10 years after treatment with azathioprine was 3%. Among patients exposed to azathioprine during a prospective follow-up period (1995-2011, 1936 patient-years), the percent of patient-years with active disease (flare or complication during the calendar year) was 17.6%. Compared to the control group, at baseline, responders were more often active smokers with significantly more extensive disease, perianal lesions, and extra-digestive manifestations. During follow-up, responders had a significantly reduced risk of intestinal surgery (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 0.69; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.52-0.91) and of perianal surgery (AOR, 0.36; 95% CI, 0.27-0.46). A significantly higher percentage of responders developed cancers, including non-melanoma skin cancers, compared with controls (9.5% vs 4.1%;P <.01). Survival rates after 20 years were 92.8%±2.3% of responders vs 97.9%±0.8% of controls ( P =.01). CONCLUSION: Based on a study at a single center, patients with CD that responds to azathioprine have a smaller proportion of patient-years with active disease, and are less likely to be hospitalized or undergo intestinal surgery, than patients with CD who did not receive immunosuppressants. These benefits, however, could be offset by increased risk of malignancies.
Anxiety in close relationships is higher and self-esteem lower in patients with irritable bowel syndrome compared to patients with inflammatory bowel disease
- European journal of internal medicine
- Published over 6 years ago
- Discuss
BACKGROUND: Previous research has suggested an interaction between personality factors and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) as well as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). We therefore aimed to elucidate differences in psychological and coping functioning between patients with IBD and IBS, and to assess the relationship of disease activity with these functions. METHODS: Seventy-four patients with IBD (mean age 43±17years, range 18-82years) and 81 patients with IBS (mean age 37±12years, range 21-66years) completed the questionnaires; Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Toronto Alexithymia, Experiences in Close Relationships, and Sense of Coherence. Disease activity was evaluated either by the Harvey-Bradshaw index, the Simple Clinical Colitis Activity Index, or the Visual Analogue Scale for Irritable Bowel Syndrome. RESULTS: The study revealed that patients with IBS had higher degree of anxiety in close relationships than patients with IBD (p=0.003), and lower self-esteem (p=0.001). No other statistical differences between the whole groups IBS and IBD or between subgroups were seen. CONCLUSIONS: The fact that patients with IBS seem to have higher levels of anxiety in relationships and lower self-esteem could influence the way the patient deal with the disease and how the communication with health care professionals works out. A higher awareness of the importance of past negative life events should be taken into consideration. Whether the disease or the personal traits are the primary event should be addressed in future research.

Just like old times at Jack's Place/
Just off of Millersport Highway is a quaint bar called Jack's Place. Nestled at the end of the plaza this place is pretty low key. A few friends and me used to always go here after our work events. So when asked last week to catch up with them there I couldn't pass it up. Jack's is a place where we'd go and have a few drinks, catch up and talk about how ridiculous some people were and still are.
A wide variety of people come in throughout the time your there, people in their 20's, to people in their 40's. If your lucky you may even witness a bridal party that comes in from across the street from the Marriott, keeping there wedding festivities going well into the wee hours.
At Jack's Place you can play darts, play your favorite songs on the jukebox and enjoy the company your with. You can even grab a bite to eat if you want. The next time your in that area stop in and see what its all about.

Boston-based jazz blues guitarist Mike DiBari began his studies at the Manhattan School of Music in New York City, studying classical guitar with Nicolas Goluses and Mme. Segovia. Inspired by B.B. King and Freddie King, amoung others, DiBari earned a bachelor's degree from the Berklee College of Music in Boston in 1994 and formed the Mike DiBari Swingtet. Upon completion of his studies at Berklee, he formed the Palomino Records lable and released his debut album, Jumpin' the Blues (1997). The album was recorded live at WJUL 91.5 FM in Lowell, MA, on the Blues Deluxe show with John Guregian and it showcased DiBari's grasp of jump blues and swing, garnering positive press in the process. His next two albums, Rotary Ahead! (2003) and Music of the Spheres (2007), featured the Mike DiBari Trio and showcased the range of his composition skills. Mike met luither Daniel Clark at the Orangeville Blues and Jazz festival in Ontario, Canada, during the summer of 2013. The two began work shortly thereafter on the creation of the Mike DiBari custom

I work in an industry where men are always hitting on my co-workers and me. It's just part of the package when you are a server. For some odd reason I can't get this one comment (supposed to be a compliment) out of my head.
Customer: "Julie you are a classic beauty". All I could think about was oh my God I am being compared to a Thunderbird! A 57 Chevy! A Mustang! (Ok well a mustang is not so bad, but come on!). My next thought was from Thumper's mother: if you can't say something nice then don't say anything at all. So maybe this guy thought he was being complimentary, however I don't care about cars and the word classic brings up all sorts of "old" images.
I smiled, went to the wait station told everyone what he said. We all laughed and I went on about my business. Today as I look into the mirror to put my make-up on, it popped back in my head. Why do we remember the garbage and forget the real compliments? Dumb people, really everyone should go to a social class before being let out into the world.
My only thought is more than likely that guy was single and remains single.

Hygenic Solutions efforts for a healthier, more environmentally-friendly world. For many professional cleaning companies green home cleaning is just another trend, one requiring some different products labeled "natural." For us, green house cleaning is an extension of what we already do on a daily basis—safeguard families.
we've protected our family and yours by using highly-concentrated house hold cleaners that require less to clean more. That means reduced exposure for our housekeepers and your family. These concentrated cleaners also reduce packaging and shipping, reducing the use of fossil fuels for a decreased carbon footprint.
As professional house cleaners we ensure efficient home cleanings by using the right products and the right amounts. Many inexpensive, diluted cleaners leave a residue and require more work to clean your home. Our concentrated cleaners do more by using less. Recycling is an important business practice too, and at Hygenic Solutions we embrace it as another element of our green home cleaning services. Reusing these cleaning bottles also allows to conserve the resources of our planet.
Using green home cleaning business practices just makes sense to us because it protects our residential maids, our customers, and our planet. And we're proud to share green home cleaning tips and practices that help our communities follow suit.
Many companies claim to provide "natural" or "green" home cleaning products and services. At Hygenic Solutions, we won't label a bottle of bleach "green" just because it's in a recycled container. We won't claim green cleaning products have disinfectant qualities, because we know organic cleaners don't kill harmful bacteria. Instead of "green washing", we educate customers on our products and business practices for a more balanced approach to green house cleaning services. Balancing the use of disinfectants like bleach with green cleaning products that don't contain ammonia, petroleum or other toxins, effectively cleans homes while protecting families and the environment.
Keeping germs and harmful bacteria away from your family requires using disinfectants. That's why Hygenic Solutions recommends allowing residential maids to use this concentrated house cleaner during your initial house cleaning. For some customers that may not be acceptable. It's your home and we'll clean it your way.
Our flexible green cleaning services take your preferences into account. Where available, Hygenic Solutions can use all green cleaning products. Or we could alternate the use of disinfectants and green house cleaners. For example, that could mean using disinfectants in your bathroom during your weekly cleaning service, or rotating the use of green cleaning products with disinfectants in that room, or any other room, of your home.

Our goal
In the long-term, we aim at the conservation of nature and the stimulation of sustainable development in the border regions of Bulgaria as contribution towards the implementation of the European Green Belt.
Our specific objectives are:
Ensuring broad institutional and public support for the conservation of nature in the border regions of Bulgaria – Green Belt will serve as a focal point of all efforts aiming at nature conservation and sustainable development in the border regions.
Conservation of wild nature and biological diversity – Green Belt will seek adequate solutions for the preservation of nature in the border regions. We will strive to arrive at consensus between the needs of nature conservation and the wishes of all stakeholders in order to achieve effective protection on both sides of the border. The establishment of large transboundary protected areas will be our main tool.
Establishment of models for the sustainable development of transboundary mountain regions – We will identify modes of economic development that harmonise with the conservation of local nature and we will evaluate their economic potential. We will stimulate the development of economic activities that do not harm ecosystems (organic farming, sustainable tourism, etc.) and preserve the beauty of the landscape.
What we do
In 2006 the Green Belt Initiative works on:
Making the Green Belt regions popular and ensuring the support of the general public for their conservation
Gathering of basic information on the biological diversity of the Green Belt regions
Establishing and coordinating the National Work Group on the Green Belt
Declaring Belasitza Mountain a Nature Park
Achieving consensus with respect to nature conservation and sustainable development in the regions of Osogovo and Kraishte
Initiating sustainable development projects in the Green Belt regions
What to expect
Within the next fife years we plan to achieve several main results:
Enhanced popularity of the border mountains and ensured support of the general public for their conservation
An international Declaration for the conservation of nature and the sustainable development of the Balkan Green Belt signed by the governments of the Balkan states
At least three transboundary protected areas established – West Stara Planina, Belasitza, Osogovo or other border mountains
Established local associations and product brands that foster the sustainable development of local communities
What is new
Green Belt will apply some innovative approaches towards the conservation and sustainable use of natural resources. More specifically, we will contribute towards:
Establishment of the first transboundary protected areas between Bulgaria and neighbour states
Management of protected areas according to the principles of the Sevilla Strategy (1995) of the UNESCO Man and the Biosphere Programme
Ensuring broad public and political support through intensive communication and lobbying
Search of alternative management modes, including sources of funding, of the protected areas (e.g. through the establishment of local associations and sponsoring)
Application in practice of the concept of economic valuation of ecosystem services
Rhodopes Mountain - opportunities for trans-border collaboration for biodiversity conservation and sustainable development
For over 50 years the border strip between Bulgaria and Greece was a forbidden area for people. This to a certain extent has contributed for preserving the nature in this particular territory. Nowadays this region is a part of the European Green Belt and gives opportunity for sustainable development of the frontier area combined with the nature conservation. The Bulgarian Biodiversity Foundation has a sufficient and long-term experience in declaration and management of protected territories in the region of the Green Belt. These areas are an important precondition for ecotourism development as well as provide opportunities for trans-border collaboration and sustainable development.
A 20 km wide "belt", which is situated along the border between Bulgaria and Greece, has been a forbidden area for people for more than 50 years. The borders between socialistic and a capitalistic country were strictly protected by minefields and barbed-wired enclosures. Furthermore, this frontier encloses the areas that are rich in biodiversity and difficult to access, which leads to slight human impact. Therefore it is not a surprise that in these border areas there are well preserved old-growth forests, as well as some of the steadiest population of species, which are vulnerable to human activities, such as the brown bear and wood-grouse Capercallie.
At the end of 1989, together with the falling of the "Iron Curtain" a gradual clearance of the borders from the barbed wires and the minefields begins. It is obvious that these regions have changed into valuable refuge for many threatened with extinction animal and plant species. In the course of almost 50 years nature resources of the border areas, which extend from Scandinavia to the Black sea and situated between the political systems of the West and the East, are hardly used by humans. This is similar to many regions which are used only by the militarizes.
With an investigation for Robert Bruner, making a research about the most important trans-border protected areas assigned by the European Council, arrives at the conclusion that the regions of the Iron Curtain are in fact of a great importance and with high conservation value. A green belt that is stretched form the Arctic Ocean to the Black sea could become an ecological spine of Europe. In the meantime the European green belt is also a symbol of the union between the East and the West - for the trans-border collaboration towards the preservation of nature and sustainable development. The European Green Belt unites the people regardless of the borders and shows that the united Europe has not only cultural but also natural heritage.
The European Green Belt is the only one of its kind ecological corridor which is 6800 km long and is located along the borders of the 22 countries from the ex Iron Curtain between East and West Europe. Therefore, one of the biggest environmental organisation in the world (IUCN) starts the initiative European Green Belt. A number of governments, nongovernmental organisations and business representatives stand behind the great idea which aims at the conservation of the valuable territories and stimulation of sustainable development in the border areas.
The Bulgarian-Swiss Biodiversity Conservation Program (BSBCP) starts in 1994 as an intergovernmental initiative for procurement and execution of the Swiss help for nature conservation in Bulgaria. Management Council included members of the Swiss Confederation, the Ministry of Environment and Water of Bulgaria, as well as Swiss and Bulgarian conservation organisations. One of the main tasks for BSBCP (nowadays Bulgarian Biodiversity Foundation) was to contribute for the development of the national network of protected areas and their efficient management. Over 15 protected territories were established with our support. We also helped the elaboration of management plans for some of the most valuable protected areas (Pirin National Park, Strandja Nature Park, Durankulasko Lake Protected Site, Shablensko Lake Protected Site, Atanasovsko Lake Reserve etc.).
From the very beginning of the Foundation's formation, the Eastern Rhodopes has been a prime work region. National Biodiversity strategy evaluates it as one of the richest in biodiversity and less studied Bulgarian territories.
In 1994 BSBCP started to finance large scale biodiversity studies in the Eastern Rhodopes.
As a result of this, by the end of 2002, 12 new protected areas were proposed and declared – most of them located in the very heart of the Rhodopes Mountains. Most of the Bulgarian populations of Griffon and Egyptian vultures, as well as Black storks inhabit this area. BSBCP supported the construction of the Nature Information and Conservation Centre Eastern Rhodopes(NICCER) of Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds in Madjarovo in order to protection of those species and providing opportunities for sustainable development of the region. Nowadays the Arda valley and its protected areas are one of most popular destinations for ecotourism in Bulgaria. More than 2000 people visited and spent the night in NICCER in Madjarovo in 2006. The incomes from the tourists represent a sizable part for the municipality's economy.
Fifteen years ago at Bulgarian South border with Greece there were 68 minefields along 71km line. Their removal began in 1992. However, due to the lack of funds merely 10% of the mines in this region were cleared by Mart 1998. After that the clearance accelerates and all the mines are neutralised by 31st of October 1999. Thereupon, BBF initiated scientific studies in the area of the hills Myglenik and Giumiurdjinski snejnik. A year later the hill Myglenik was proposed to be included in the future Nature park East Rhodopes and to be designated a protected site in the region of the hill Giumiurdjinski snejnik.
Due to the cooperation of BBF with the local communities, the structures of National Forest Board and the MoEW the area of Guimuirdjinski snejnik was declared as a protected site in 2003. Its total area is 1926,40 ha. Its goal is to preserve the last remained mixed old-growth forests of beech, fir and mountain sycamore in East Rhodopes, as well as habitats of threatened with extinction plant and animal species. The Giumiurdjinski snejnik is the furthest eastern distribution of Rhodopian Lilly. A part of the century old mixed woods have never been used. They keep a unique tree diversity and some places with Yew (Taxus baccata) and Holly (Ilex aquifolium) . Not long ago the natural character of the region attracted brown bears, which disappeared after the construction of the wind parks close to the Greek border in the neighboring hill Myglenik.
The protected area "Giumiurdjinski snejnik" is managed and guarded by the Forestry District Kirkovo. The profound studies, the fully evaluation of the biodiversity in the century old forests and treeless zone, as well as the elaboration of a Management plan are of the most important priorities. The protected territory touches the Greek Natura 2000 place GR1130012. The BBF studies in the area were used from Balkan Wildlife Society in order to determinate the borders of the protected zone East Rhodopes BG0001032.
In that way for the period of 9 years (1994-2003), the area of the protected territories in Eastern Rhodopes increased five times and reached 8478, 26 hectares in the end of year 2003.
Fig. 1 Map of the protected areas in Eastern Rhodopes.
During the period 2005-2007 BBF organised studies in the border areas of the Middle and West Rhodopes in the region of Myglenik hill to Trigrad with the aim to propose protected zones and territories. Our team found a couple of regions with century old woods and preserved nature which are inhabited by vital populations of brown bear, capercaillies , white-backed woodpecker, Rhodopean lilyand other rare and endemic plants and animals species. As a result 5 new protected territories were proposed for declaration and our documentation was used from Balkan Wildlife Society in specifying the borders of the Bulgarian Natura 2000 areas Cigansko gradishte BG0000372 and the West Rhodopes BG0001030.
The protected site "Dolen" is proposed for preserving century old oak forest. Although the area is below 100 ha, it is a unique territory considering the fact that some of the trees are at age over 130 years. The century old wood attracts several couples black woodpeckers, which is one of the favorite bird for observation to the tourist birdwatchers. The proposed protected area is located between village of Dolen and Zlatograd and it is also really appropriate for ecotourism.
The protected site "Marzian" is proposed with the purpose of conservation of the beech forests which are suitable habitats for capercaillie and brown bear. It will protect also the watersheds which ensure the drinking waters for the municipalities of Rudozem and Madan. This is the location of the most eastward population of the capercaillie on the Balkans. This population is unique also due to the fact that it inhabits beech forests. The proposedprotected site is spread at length over 10 km along the border with Greece. It borders with the Greek National Rhodopes Park in the south. At the region of the border line there are habitats of Rhodopean lily and other rare plant species. Both capercallies and brown bears inhabit the spit of land close to the frontier line and cross the border several times a day.
The protected area "Cigansko gradishte" is proposed in order to protect an old growth beech forest, the woodless zone, the populations and habitats of brown bears and capercaillies. Couples of bears inhabit the region of the boundary line and daily cross it. In the past the adjoining Greek rock formations were inhabited by Chamois. Nowadays, they appear periodically. Unfortunately, they are quickly shot at by Greek and Bulgarian poachers. Several habitats of capercaillies have been destroyed during timber harvesting activities. Therefore, one of the main goals of the future protected area would be the conservation of the capercaillie's population which inhabits the beech forests. The protected area borders with the Greek National Rhodopes Park and with the Natura 2000 place GR1120003 that is included in it. In the woodless zone there are peat swamps and Rhodopean lily.
A rock hill - "Kozite skali", located10 km north from the border and close to Rudozem, was proposed as Natural Monument. In the past those rocks have been inhabited by Chamois. The Natural Monument is small (about 300 ha) but it is extremelyinteresting because it would conserve not only the rock complexes but also one of the last preserved old-growth oak and beech forests in the region. In the future it could be an appropriate location for the recovery of the Chamois. A couple of black storks is been observed and it is presumed that it nests on the rock formation.
Our last proposal is the protected area "Gerzovica" which includes the homonymous area of the region of Smolyan to the village of Kesten as well as the region of Devin. It supplements from the North the Greek National Rhodopes Park and the included in it sites from Natura 2000 - GR1140001 and GR1140007. This particular territory is proposed with the purpose of conserving the habitats of trans-border populations of capercaillies, brown bears and Chamois. In 2007 a several small peat swamps were discovered precisely at the border. They would be studied during 2008. There is a great probability for these swamps to be proved to be a new type of habitat "Active raised bogs"- unknown till now in Bulgaria.
Fig. 2 Indicative map that consists three new proposed protected areas –Tzigansko gradishte Protected site, Marzian Protected site and Kozi skali Natural Monument.
A great number of the animals that inhabits these protected areas cross the border every day. The griffon vultures which nests along the valley of Arda river, regularly fly over to the National Dadia Forest Park in Greece and the GR11300012 site of Natura 2000. The colonies from the two countries are connected together and some pairs regularly nest one year in Greece, next year in Bulgaria. The only colony of Black Vultures inhabits the National Park Dadia Forest but the birds regularly seek for food and spend the night in Bulgaria.
One of the most stable populations of the capercaillie, brown bear and the Chamois are along the border line. Unfortunately, during the last years the poaching in some areas increase. A typical example is the regular illegal hunting by Bulgarian hunters for Chamois in the Greek National Rhodopes Park. The solution of this problem and as a whole the conservation of the biodiversity in the region would be impossible without the radical improvement of the trans-border collaboration.
These territories are important for long term protection of a number of rare and endemic species both in Bulgaria and Greece. The region has a great potential for the development of ecotourism. We have already been working with the tour operators for sustainable tourism development and more precisely for observation of bears, Chamois and capercaillies. With that purpose BBF organises promotion of the alternative tourism among the local communities and works towards building connections between local ecotourism suppliers and travel agencies.
With Bulgaria's joining to Schengen after 2 years, a great number of direct tourist tours would be made between Bulgarian and Greek protected areas.
We hope that during the future 5 years will be established several trans-border protected areas in the region. They will guarantee the conservation of the unique nature of the Green belt and would contribute to the local sustainable development on the both sides of the boundary line.

Google has just made changes to the Play Store between which it will now allow application developers and games to be more transparent to potential users when it comes to highlighting the promotional prices they have in those applications and games they have in sale.
In this regard, it will allow users to know the promotional prices through the purchase button and the savings they will get by placing at the top the prices that usually are.
In addition, they may also disclose the duration of promotional prices. According to Google, this new change in its testing phase has allowed developers to see an increase of installations by up to 20% in their promotional phases and also has made it possible to increase the number of installations after the end of the promotional phases. Of course, this new change comes with a number of restrictions to take into account.
In this regard, promotional prices will last at least a full day to a maximum of eight full days. In addition, the discount will be a minimum of 30% on the original prices and between promotional phases must pass at least 30 days from the end of the previous. Lastly, promotional prices will only be allowed by apps and games, not for subscriptions integrated in them.
In this way, users who want to purchase applications and payment games will have all the information they need to decide to acquire them on their mobile devices.
With the hike of 20% download for developers, this update could definitely benefit both the developers of the applications and the uses. Developers will get more downloads, while the users will have more transparency of what is being offered to them.
This is a very good step taken by the Google team, but keep in mind that it is still in testing phase which means it can take few weeks or months to officially arrive at the Play Store.

Allett Ultra Slim Original Wallet

The Allett Ultra Slim Original wallet is so thin that…
Source: tested or reviewed it for the manufacturer (I received a sample of this product for purposes of this review. Kept it.)
The Allett Ultra Slim Original wallet is so thin that you can hardly feel it in your pocket. Has all the slots and folds one needs for cash or credit cards. Recommended for all outdoor activities due to its light weight and slim nature, but be careful not to have cards fall out.
- Ultra slim
- Very light
- Full functioning
- Very light
- Credit cards may slide out
I received this Allett Ultra Slim Original wallet as a trial for test and review from the manufacturer. It is minimally stylish but considering its use during outdoor activities that is not an issue for me. It has four slots for credit cards, pictures, and business cards and each can hold multiple items. I like how they are oriented so that when the wallet is closed the cards cannot get out accidentally.
It is nearly imperceptible in your back pocket which is good and bad. I am often worriedly patting to make sure it is there, it is that light. I don't like a thick wallet in my back pocket as it is uncomfortable while sitting so I have adopted this wallet for everyday use.
The nylon fabric is very light and durable and is water resistant, although I have not exposed it to water. The rubber grip pockets seem to hold the cards but I am anxious about that so I am very careful. Love that they are made in the USA.
The wallet has separate slots for cash and receipts that is very helpful for organizing. It only weighs 0.6 ounces and is 3¾" x 5″ x ⅛" (9.5cm x 12.7cm x .3cm) and is able to hold euros, dollars, yen, pounds and many other international currencies.
$19.95 on the Allett website.
Disclosure: The reviewer received a sample of this product from the brand or its representatives in exchange for a review.
Where to Buy
The Allett Ultra Slim Original Wallet is not available from the stores we monitor.

In applications across the country, video as a tool for public safety and justice has increased officer safety, improved community relations, and supported convictions, and as a result, we see cameras cropping up all over – on buildings, in cruisers, on uniforms, and even on handguns. But adding new cameras, especially rolling out video initiatives across an entire department, can be expensive, and even if you can afford the cameras, the existing IT infrastructure may not support them. This is a common issue that can lead to chicken-and-egg discussions about upgrading infrastructure or buying cameras and can present a serious barrier to deploying the video tools you know will advance your public safety mission.Fortunately, there are resources available to help make your video deployment possible, without breaking the budget.Join Grants Office and special guests from the SentiVault team as we discuss a two-pronged approach to solving the budget-infrastructure dilemma. First, Grants Office consultants will show you how to find and access video-friendly grants to fund the purchase and deployment of cameras and the infrastructure they need to run optimally. Second, the SentiVault team will provide guidelines for planning and configuring a video initiative, so that it uses only the bandwidth and storage it needs and keeps operating costs down.If you're considering starting or expanding a video initiative this year, you won't want to miss this event!Special Note: Everyone who registers for this event will receive a PDF copy of the 2018 Guide to Grants that Fund Law Enforcement Video, full of information on video-friendly grants and tips for getting your video project funded.

Technology is playing in increasingly prominent role in literacy initiatives across the nation. While such initiatives are producing promising results, we often see those districts with the greatest literacy challenges experience the greatest struggle in paying for new technology solutions that could aid in improving student literacy. As these districts endeavor to make ends meet, literacy-supporting software and equipment take a back seat to things like curriculum development, teacher training, and classroom supplies. Fortunately, there are grants that can help these high-need districts find the funding they require to make their technology-enhanced literacy program a reality!The Department of Education's Innovative Approaches to Literacy (IAL) grant program is expected to open this spring, and supports high-quality programs designed to develop and improve literacy skills for children and students from birth through 12th grade in high-need local educational agencies and schools.Join Grants Office and special guests from Microsoft and Connection Public Sector Solutions for an in-depth look at this literacy-focused, technology-friendly grant program as well as some of the latest literacy supporting technology on the market. We'll also discuss tips for making your proposal truly competitive. If you're looking to upgrade your district's literacy program, you won't want to miss this fast-paced and informative webinar!

Every year, nearly $50 billion dollars in grant funds are awarded by private and corporate foundations – with many of these dollars going to support education initiatives. For those who have only considered state or federal competitive grant opportunities, this means that you could be missing out on a number of relevant funding sources. Foundation funders are often less constrained in their grant making, and as a result, can be quite technology-friendly as well. Further, foundation grants are a great way for staff at schools or districts with little to no grant-seeking experience to hone their skills.Join Grants Office and special guests from Microsoft and Connection Public Sector Solutions for a fast-paced review of tips for developing proposals in response to foundation funding opportunities, in addition to some of the most popular education technologies available to districts. Whether you're looking to fund a few devices for a single classroom or a larger education technology initiative spanning your entire district or school, this session will give you the foundation you need to find and compete for grants from a wide variety of foundation funders!
In ways we could only imagine a decade ago, technology is improving the delivery of services across state and local governments. Isolated systems can now work together, we have the capacity to capture and analyze data like never before, and information can be delivered into our hands exactly how and when we need it.
But all this advancement comes at a price, sometimes a steep one, and funding to support innovation can seem elusive. Fortunately, there are a number of federal and state grant programs that have been specifically created to support innovation in specific public sector applications, and learning about them is the first step in accessing them!
Join Grants Office CEO and special guests from NetApp for a fast-paced look at how leading communities have been able to fund innovation and the technologies that have dramatically improved outcomes across government. As a thank you for participating in this event, every government representative who registers will receive a free Grants Office Funding Opportunity Report, developed just for you with information you provide and detailing the grant opportunities that could fund your community's plans for innovation.
Increasingly, campus officials are seeking to employ video-based security initiatives to improve student safety and reduce crime across their campuses, and led by the Department of Justice's Grants to Reduce Sexual Assault, Domestic Violence, Dating Violence, and Stalking on Campus Program, a number of grantmakers are supporting their efforts.
Join Grants Office CEO Michael Paddock and special guests from NetApp for a look at how video is making campuses safer and what funding sources universities and colleges can access to help them pay for it. We will also cover some strategies for articulating a case for campus security enhancements based on the benefits that they will provide to the institution, it students and faculty, and the wider community.
Virtualization is being funded on campuses across the country. However, because there is no single "virtualization" grant program, universities that wish to obtain funding for the technology are required to articulate it either as an infrastructure project or as a part of a PI-led research project and evaluate prospective funders accordingly.
Join Grants Office CEO Michael Paddock and special guests from NetApp as we highlight the best funding sources for virtualization projects and discuss what they each will require in order to support them. We will also review best practices for integrating a technology like virtualization into a proposal so that it supports the objectives of the project and strengthens the case for support.

A question from reader Stan P. of Alexandria, Virginia:
I am planning to attempt the Rocky Mountain West section-hike of the Pfiffner Traverse in mid-July with a friend. Every summer we do a trip out West, so our gear is mostly dialed already. But we're uncertain if we'll need axes and crampons. Thoughts?
This is a great question, because the answer is both nuanced and consequential. A multitude of factors are at play, and you want to be right — or else you'll be carrying several pounds of unnecessary equipment, bailing off your intended route, or exposing yourself to excessive risk. This exact conversation is had each spring for other high routes and for standard thru-hikes, especially after heavy winters when early-season conditions will extend into the normal backpacking months.
Let me start with some background for other readers. The Pfiffner Traverse is a 77-mile high route in Colorado's Front Range, encompassed within Rocky Mountain National Park, Indian Peaks Wilderness, and James Peak Wilderness. It can be completed in its entirety as an end-to-end thru-hike (budget 7-10 days), or in sections using the nine recommended loop itineraries, the shortest of which can be completed in a weekend (or in a day by a very strong hiker/runner).
The Rocky Mountain West is the longest recommended section-hike, at 42 miles. It starts near Grand Lake, Colo., joins the Pfiffner Traverse a few miles south of Trail Ridge Road in Rocky Mountain National Park, and follows the Continental Divide (directly atop it, or on a pass-and-valley route to the west of the crest) to East Inlet, where it peels off the Pfiffner Traverse to return to Grand Lake.
Stan: Note that mid-July is a very popular season in the park for backpacking, so backcountry campsite reservations are strongly advised. The reservation system opens on the first Saturday in March; in 2018, that's March 1. If you wait for a day-of permit, you'll have to pick among leftover sites or recent cancellations; no permits are held for walk-ups.
Do you need an ice axe or crampons on the Pfiffner Traverse. The short answer is, "It depends." Some considerations:
1. Current conditions
Ideally, you would see a report from another Pfiffner Traverse hiker immediately before you go, like in a backpacking forum, on a social media platform (try #PfiffnerTraverse), or on this website. But I wouldn't count on it: hiker traffic is not yet heavy or steady, and only a fraction might post a report afterwards. Observations from even two weeks ago are of dubious value, especially when the snowpack is rapidly changing in June and July.
2. Time of day
Throughout the spring and summer, the snowpack is in a general state of melt. This trend is interrupted most nights, however, when radiant heat loss and colder ambient air temperatures cause the snow to firm up or crust over. When hard, even low-angle snow can be problematic or impassable without traction. By noon, these same sections will be unremarkable.
3. Winter snowpack and spring melt
About three-fourths of the annual precipitation in the Front Range falls as snow, mostly in the six months between November and April. The greater the snowfall, the longer it will linger into the summer. It sticks most persistently on high and shaded (i.e. north-facing) slopes, and on leeward slopes where it piles up. In the Front Range, windblown snow collects deepest on the eastern side of ridges.
Use SNOTEL data to determine whether it's an average winter, or drier or wetter than normal. After extremely dry or wet winters, "normal" conditions may arrive or be delayed by several weeks.
Summer conditions are further affected by spring temperatures and weather, too. For example, a wet and cold spring can rescue a below-average winter, putting conditions on a more normal timeline.
4. Individual comfort and skills
If you have prior early-season backpacking or mountaineering experience, you may need less equipment or less robust equipment than conventional wisdom would suggest. For example, on steep but soft snow, you may feel comfortable with just an axe, using it to self-belay while kicking steps.
5. Route
What sections of the Pfiffner Traverse (or its alternates or section-hikes) are most likely to be problematic? There are no glaciers or permanent snowfields on the route, and most of it is snow-free by early- or mid-June. In only a few spots will snow linger into July or August after a normal winter:
Product recommendations
An ice axe can be used for self-arrest and self-belay, and for cutting steps. For the Pfiffner Traverse, a simple lightweight axe like the Petzl Glacier Literide ($100, 11 oz) or CAMP Corsa Nanotech ($160, 9 oz) will suffice. Additional weight can be saved with the Sukluk 46 Ice Tool (4.5 oz, $175), but the product disclaimer concerns me. This guy had a good experience with it, but otherwise reviews are hard to find.
Crampons improve foot purchase, especially on firmer and steeper snow. For the most aggressive hiking crampon, go with the Kahtoola K-10 Crampon ($100, 22 oz) or Hillsound Trail Pro Crampon ($80, 24 oz). As a just-in-case option, consider the Vargo Pocket Cleats.
Several traction devices occupy the space in between: lighter but less capable than the K-10 and Trail Pro, and heavier but more trustworthy than the Pocket Cleats. Example: Hillsound Trail Crampon ($65, 16 oz). They perform best on crusty or packed snow, but they're not meant for steep slopes and they don't bite well into softer snow.

Archie Birch - ToonZA
This coming Saturday (3 December) District 6 Homecoming Centre in collaboration with AMAK (Azania Mania Art Kolektive) will be hosting a comic art workshop. All are invited to participate. If you are a comic artist, writer, or just slightly curios, join! The workshop will be exploring the past and the potential for future narratives, with D6 as focal hub for creative inspiration. It's the latest AMAK creative project and it's called D6 ToonZa. In the words of the organisers, here's some more info:
Q: What's D6 ToonZa?
A: Targeting young people of all ages who can't stop drawing, D6 ToonZa is a graphic time maching colllaboration between the District 6 Museum and AMAK. We plan to conceptualise, make, launch, promote, and distribute a comic anthology set In A World Not Too Far From Now. . . a collection of stories exploring the epic multilayered sag of District Six And The Deep Memory of Place.
Q: A world not too far from Now? Like when, then?
A: It's a graphic time machine: forwards or backwards in time, into alternate realities or parallel lives, exploring alien worlds or alienation in this world, with only one proviso: that our stories connect somehow - either time-wise, place-wise or concept-wise -with District 6 and the deep Memory of place.
Q: The deep memory of place?
A: Imagine a scrawny urban milkwood tree that stood in a vacant lot for a century or more, from before you were born until an unknown future. Imagine you got access to that tree's stories, past and future, and told them. That's just an example. Places have memories - accessing them is the fun part.
Q: And then what?
A: This workshop will introduce and test-drive our 2017 D6 ToonZA Saturday Sessions concept - to recruit participants and raise funds for a year-long weekly comics workshop to be held at the Homecoming centre.
Q: Who can attend?
A: Like we said, it's for young people of all ages who can't stop drawing: designed for people who already draw or write their own comics - or want to. It's a full-on non-stop immersion into our new ToonZa comiclab process, with lots of drawing, learning, talking, presenting - all to be documented in an ongoing stop-motion YouTube animation.
Q: Yeah, right, OK. But what's the point of it all?
A: Our immediate aim is to co-learn comics skills the ToonZa way, to produce original work, have an exhibition and launch our new comic book at Open Book Comics Fest in September 2017 - and get the ToonZa Saturday sessions up and running. Long-term? A montly local comics magazine, of course!
Q: Sounds awesome - How do I sign up?
