The annual Sports View International Meet has been renamed – it will now be known as Gaborone International Meet. The race organiser and former 800m great Glody Dube says the reason behind this is to attract international stars to Botswana who will use the race as a qualifier for big events. "This is now the product for the nation and it is going to be very big because this year it is international. We have upgraded it to that level," he said. Dube said the Ministry of Youth Empowerment, Sports and Culture has been brought as sponsor. "There will be the qualifying standards. We can even confirm that the stadium has already been booked for the 29th of April," he said. Dube said Botswana will be hosting athletes from all over the world in April, some of whom will be based at South African performance centres. They are making an arrangement to bring them to compete just from South Africa other than waiting for them to go back to their home countries. He said other sponsors have already come on board to support the event. He said that even local top athletes will be treated the same way as the visiting top athletes. "Sometimes local elite athletes are taken for granted, but during these competition we will give them the star treatment that they get even when outside," he said.
Now that he is not in the Botswana Athletics Association (BAA) he has avoided any issues that have been perceived as bordering on conflict of interest. As an Athletes Manager he has been having meetings in South Africa with other managers to see ways to improve and meet world standard. He has taken to grooming local athletes who have potential and has taken some them fully under his wing. He ensures that a medical doctor regularly checks his athletes. He had been working at ensuring their welfare. "After running no one helps them or even to teach them on how to use the money and that is why they end up not even having nothing to show off for their career," he said. According to Dube, even in his time there was no guidance but he had to guide himself to be a better man. He said local athletes should trust them as their managers because they understand the situation in Botswana and how it is like, unlike when they are managed by someone who is far. He said at the moment he even have athletes in different countries that he is working with.

Confrontations are like train derailments.
They are disasters in my book.
I do my best to avoid them
because I know
how things will turn out on my end;
not good at all.
I'll shut down and
paranoia will set in.
All I'll hear is the sound of my heart beating loudly
My voice will shake and go hoarse.
My voice of reasoning will be gone
because I'll be unable to think.

The "closed" scuba set design, often referred to as a rebreather, allows a diver to reuse the same gas. A diver's exhaled breath is passed through a chemical in one of the cylinders to be stored between breaths in a "counterlung". The carbon dioxide is being chemically restored and the diver then breathes it over again, with some of new oxygen being added automatically to compensate the consumed portion. This type of system allows the diver to remain underwater longer with no bubbles emerging to the surface. The rebreather's economic use of gas is typically 1.6 litres of oxygen per minute.
In fact, the closed scuba is an improved version of open scuba.

I am the Translational Medicine Lead within the Experimental Medicine division of NDM and a Research Fellow in Wolfson College. I am a member of the senior management group at the Translational Gastroenterology Unit. My responsibilities include the establishment of translational aspects of the unit (from bench to bed), facilitating the operation between the hospital staff and research laboratories and developing translational study protocols by implementing systematic procedures for translational studies. I also collaborate in several scientific projects in the unit and co-supervise students and postdocs in translational projects. My first degree was in Microbiology and my MSc and PhD in Immunology. My main interest is to translate basic research in mucosal immunology into treatments for inflammatory bowel disease.
As a bench scientist my hours have never been 9-5 since experiments would dictate the working times. However, when I became a mother I found I had to adapt my pattern where I could to fit the needs of my family and parental responsibilities such as school runs, school functions, doctor's appointments etc. I remained full time, but now work those hours at flexible times to allow me to meet both the demands of work and home.
At first I needed to be very strict with myself. As my work became more managerial, with grant writing deadlines and trying to fit meetings, the hours changed again. I don't always spend the whole time in my office but my phone has become an extension of my arm. This is an advantage but also requires discipline so that I don't make myself available 24/7.
My line managers have always been very supportive as they have similar working patterns as myself. As the department has developed with Athena SWAN no one looks at you strangely if you say that you can't attend a meeting at 8:00 a.m or at 6:00 p.m. This has had a huge impact on my quality of life. Most people in the department are aware of my flex time. They also know that I am very reliable and will get things done whether in my office or not.
My advice would be to be disciplined with yourself. Just because the technology is there it doesn't mean that you need to answer emails at 11:00 p.m. on a Saturday night or send emails to your team at that time. I am still working on that one!

US Cargo Ship to Depart International Space Staion
Endothelial Cells in Microgravity as a Model System for Evaluation of Cancer Therapy Toxicity (Angiex Cancer Therapy) examines whether endothelial cells cultured in microgravity represent a valid model to test effects of vascular-targeted agents on normal blood vessels. Endothelial cells are the tissue that form a single layer of cells lining blood vessels and the heart, and all other organs. Angiex was developed as a potential treatment that targets tumor cells, but a better model is needed for future testing. The study may facilitate a cost-effective method that avoids animal testing and can develop safer and more effective drugs to combat circulatory diseases.

University alumni raise six figures for performance dress sock startup
Two University of Michigan alumni, Gabriela de Araujo and Ben Yelian, who graduated from LSA and Ross, respectively, have recently completed a clothing startup campaign on the crowdfunding website Kickstarter and are preparing to further the development of their product: Stealth Sock.
Stealth Sock, is a high-tech dress sock that uses silver and carbon-infused fibers to suppress the bacteria responsible for causing foot odor and prevent buildup of moisture.
From its humble beginnings last year, the Stealth Sock has transformed into a $156,180 Kickstarter project with 2,227 backers and coverage by multiple media outlets. Maison Impeccable, the parent company, is now moving its focus to Indiegogo, another crowdfunding website. But the two designers are already looking further ahead.
Yelian and de Araujo, along with co-founder Kevin Shih of Northwestern University, were high school friends with a shared interest in fashion and spy movies. According to Yelian, the three found regular jobs right after graduating college, but by then their interest had transformed into a full-blown passion.
"I was always interested in entrepreneurship, having been active in MPowered when I was at Michigan, but never really knew what I cared about," Yelian said. "I realized I was spending so much of my free time checking out fashion sites and streetwear blogs, and was always discussing things with my high school friend, Kevin. We felt there was a gap in technical wear, the growing market for performance-infused, non-athletic apparel, and decided that if we spent so much time obsessing over it in our free time, we might as well try and make something of it."
The goal of their company — Maison Impeccable — whose name is a play on the name of the major spy-thriller franchise "Mission Impossible," was to create dress clothes that someone in a line of work akin to James Bond's would find comfortable to move around and fight villains in while dressed formally.
"People don't like dressing up anymore and can't wait to change into sweats because dress clothes aren't comfortable or practical," Yelian said. "That's because, despite new tech being everywhere, the clothes we wear to work haven't really changed in decades. We wanted to challenge that."
The idea to specifically create a sock came first out of pragmatism — as socks are cheaper and faster to design, as opposed to larger items — but also stemmed from Yelian and Shih's daily annoyances.
"As a business consultant and med student, we were putting in long hours in business wear; with all our running through airports and hospitals, it became painfully apparent how outdated and underperforming regular socks were, especially compared to what we'd wear to the gym," he said.
Once they launched the project, the entrepreneur trio's respective specializations helped facilitate the process — de Araujo an economics major, Yelian a Ross student and Shih an MD candidate.
"As a medical student, Kevin comes from a rigorous science background so reading research papers and understanding the implications of data comes as second nature to him," Yelian said. "For myself and Gabby, we both come from more analytical business roles, where a focus on data is just as important."
In addition to their education, Yelian pointed out other ways in which the University made Maison Impeccable possible.
"People crave comfort and practicality these days, and nowhere is that more obvious than your first lecture after a long weekend (or whenever, really)," Yelian said. "We always liked looking good, but we still lived in jeans and sweats as much as anyone else. It kind of got us going with the idea of, 'Why not make looking good more comfortable instead of just looking like we gave up?' "
De Araujo also noted how the University's culture helped her throughout the startup process.
"U-M gave me the tools and the confidence to be an entrepreneur," she said. "Graduating from a school where so many great leaders have come from gives you an incentive to do something just as groundbreaking."
The University additionally contributed in a number of other ways, including student athletes who participated in the first round of testing by comparing the Stealth Sock's moisture-wicking capabilities with those of top athletic-brand socks. The results from that time were positive, Yelian said, as the dress sock beat out some of the competition from athleticware.
"From here, we still have a long way to go. Kickstarter is just pre-orders, so the more important part is getting the products made well and fulfilled to our customers," de Araujo said. "As a brand, socks are really just the beginning."
Yelian added that he wants to develop Maison Impeccable into a comprehensive clothing line.
"We're currently researching cuts and fabrics for our next product, with the hopes of building out a full line of technical clothing with everything from suits to shorts," he said.
Looking back at her own experiences, de Araujo urged aspiring student entrepreneurs to make the best out of their youthfulness.
"Don't be afraid to do what others are not doing. Being part of a startup is a risk: you have many things going against you; but there is no better time to risk it all than now," she said. "You're young with nothing to lose and your whole lives ahead of you (especially those with a few years left of college to go) — balance school and your social life, but try something, and try it soon."
Yelian also encouraged student entrepreneurship, yet at the same time stressed the importance of finding one's passion first instead of rushing to reach for wealth and fame.
"I worked on projects as a consultant that had four or five more zeroes on the line than anything we're doing, but this has been way harder," he said. "Not because of the sheer complexity or analytical rigor, but nothing hurts and keeps you up at night like trying to get your own idea off the ground."

Earnings Outlook: What to expect from Kraft Foods' earnings
NEW YORK (MarketWatch) — Helmed by a new chief executive, Kraft Foods Group Inc. is scheduled to report fourth quarter earnings Thursday.
The company owns brands including Oscar Mayer, Maxwell House and Velveeta.
Here's what to expect:
Earnings: Analysts surveyed by FactSet are expecting Kraft KRFT, +0.47% to report earnings per share of 73 cents, up from 67 cents in the year-earlier period.
Revenue: Kraft is expected to report sales of $ 4.625 billion, above the $ 4.595 billion it reported a year ago. Its cheese segment is expected to bring in $ 1.125 billion and refrigerated meals, $ 777.5 million.
Stock Reaction: Kraft shares have gained 25% over the past year as of morning trade Tuesday, above the S&P 500, which has gained about 14%. In the last month, under a new CEO, Kraft shares gained about 4%.
What to watch for: Its chairman, John Cahill, succeeded Tony Vernon as chief executive at the end of December. Vernon will remain a senior advisor through March 31 and a director until the 2015 shareholder meeting, the company said.
This is change some investors view as "signaling future value creation," and eyes are on Cahill, formerly the CEO of Pepsi Bottling Group, to see what changes he may make to the company. But Deutsche Bank analysts aren't convinced it will help.
"We continue to see a tough environment and believe investors are overly optimistic on strategic options," the analysts said.
In December, the company said its sticking to its full-year outlook and expects to have earnings in line with expectations even with soft consumer demand.
In October, the company reported sales slightly below expectations as it had increases in cheese, refrigerated meals and beverages but declines in its meals and desserts, enhancers and snack nuts and Canadian businesses. It also had increased its prices due to higher commodity costs.

A boiling water tap is a much more permanent addition to your kitchen than a conventional kettle or plug-in hot water dispenser, as it needs to be plumbed in alongside or instead of your standard kitchen sink taps.
The main advantage is that they provide hot water much more quickly and easily than a kettle. They also make it much easier to add just the amount of water you need – you simply keep the tap on until your mug or pan is full, and no further – so there shouldn't be any wasted water. Manufacturers claim that boiling water taps use much less energy and water than a kettle and therefore cost less.

What do you think about Slovenia and Slovenian people? What are youre thoughts and experiences if you have ever been to Slovenia. I would like to hear yout thought about my country. From music, to differences between man and woman to food... EVERYTHING! :)) thank you.
What is Slovenia for me?
A/ Beautiful germanized slavic country, with a very old national history almost nobody knows about :)
B/ It is a pity some still are thinking about Slovenia as a Balkan country, which is not and has never been the truth - on the contrary, always belonged to Central Europe
C/ I remember the battle tanks X barriers at the border between Slovenia and Croatia in 1992
D/ One of the most beautiful lakes is Bledsko jezero
E/ In your (Slovenian) native language and my language we can say the same for: Slovenska filharmonija, or Slovenska zastava (Slovenian/Slovak flag)
F/ Architect Plečnik and his works in Prague
G/ An old manuscript more than 1000 years old written in Slovenian language (biblical content)
H/ Der Fuerst Pribina - I hope have you heard about?
I/ Small but very Italian pictoresque Slovenian Adriatic sea coast
J/ of course, Triglav mountain
K/ Not-so-sound economy in the last 10 years, but still doing quite well
Often, unless one lives on the border with Slovenia, would think that Slovenia and Slovakia are the same thing.
Small country, with strong Austrian influence. Hard to see the cultural differences.
Economicaly sound, but very lightweight in European continent.
It will be nice to visit it if one has a relative living there, or transit to Austria.
Kosovars have a specific bond with Slovenes and Slovenia. We will never forget Milan Kucan and his famous speech that he ended with "Kosovo, moja dežela". Laibach for us is the cult group, and we were very happy to have them in Prishtina in November last year with their "We come in Peace" tour, they were great.
I was in Slovenia long time ago and I repeated it this year. It is a wonderful country with a pristine nature. As for the people I think that they are lovely, a bit reserved but there are exceptions. I definitely see the resemblance of the old Illyrian tribe in many Slovenian men when you look at their noses, the typical one that the singer of Laibach has http://www.virtualnightangel.com/laibach_014.jpg as in this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Ha...rianCeltic.jpg. The resemblance amazes me.
I liked the food and prices were very reasonable. I think that Slovenia has a much bigger potential for tourism than it is utilizing it now.

Sugar Crush Detox
As you read the chapters that considered specific extreme environmental stresses (Chapters 3-6: desiccation, heat, cold, pH, osmotic stress etc.), you might have noticed that there were some similarities between the problems these caused to organisms. There are also some common physiological and biochemical solutions that organisms have developed to overcome these difficulties. Let us look at some of these problems and solutions.
Water is essential for the functioning of cells and any environmental stress that disrupts the cell's water balance is a serious problem for an organism. Exposure to desiccation is the most obvious cause of water loss, but water is also lost, or has the potential to be lost, during exposure to other types of environmental stress. Osmotic stress produces the movement of water, resulting in the loss of some water if the concentration of salts outside the cell is higher than that inside (since the concentration of water is lower outside than it is inside). Heat increases the rate of evaporation of organisms exposed to desiccation and this results in increased rates of water loss from the surface of terrestrial plants and animals. Mechanisms for cooling the organism (such as sweating, panting and transpiration) also produce increased rates of water loss. Water loss from cells is also a problem during freezing. Freezing of the liquid surrounding the cells raises its osmotic concentration. Salts are not incorporated into the ice and so, as water molecules join the growing ice crystals, the salts in the remaining unfrozen water become more concentrated. This results in an osmotic stress that draws the water out of cells (see Figure 5.1).
Problems with water may be reduced by restricting the rate at which it is lost and by measures that tend to retain it within the organism. The rate of water loss is reduced if the membranes of cells, or the skins or cuticles of plants or animals, have a low permeability to water. Many plants and insects, for example, have waxy cuticles and water loss is restricted to openings (stomata and spiracles) in their surface coverings. Water may be retained by animals by recovering it from the breath, urine and faeces before it is lost from the body. Desert organisms tend not to use the evaporation of water as a cooling mechanism, since they cannot withstand the loss of water that this involves. Instead, they either tolerate the high temperatures or they avoid them by retreating to refuges during the hottest parts of the day.
One way of reducing the problems with water caused by conditions which result in an osmotic stress is to accumulate substances within the organism or cell that reduce the difference between it and its surroundings. These substances are known as osmolytes since they take up space in a solution, thus reducing the osmotic concentration of water and balancing its levels inside and outside the cell. A variety of substances are used as compatible osmolytes (so called because they do not adversely affect the working of cells at the levels of concentrations to which they accumulate). Amino acids (e.g. proline, glycine, alanine and serine), substances derived from amino acids (e.g. glycine betaine and taurine), nitrogenous compounds (e.g. urea), sugars (e.g. trehalose, sucrose) and sugar alcohols (e.g. glycerol, sorbitol) are all used as compatible osmolytes by different organisms. Sodium, potassium and chloride ions are the most important solutes in cells. Changing the concentrations of these ions in response to osmotic stress gives a measure of control of water balance, but the extent to which this can be achieved is limited, since these ions are incompatible solutes and they are usually toxic to the cell in high concentrations.
Sugars, sugar alcohols and amino acids are also produced as antifreezes by freeze-avoiding insects and as cryoprotectants by some freezing-tolerant organisms (see Chapter 5). Although these substances play a number of roles in tolerating low temperatures, their ability to act as compatible osmolytes assists in dealing with the problems of water balance that result from exposure to subzero temperatures. Sugars are also produced by anhydrobiotic organisms in response to desiccation, protecting membranes and proteins against disruption as a result of water loss (See chapter 3). However, by raising the osmotic concentration of the body fluids, increased levels of osmolytes may also help slow down the rate of water loss from the organism. If the levels of osmolytes are high enough, the organism may even be able to absorb water from an otherwise desiccating environment.
Springtails (collembola) are common inhabitants of soil. They have very permeable cuticles which show little resistance to water loss. As the soil dries out, the springtail is at risk of losing water and of dying, since only a few springtails can survive anhydrobiotically. Folsomia candida is a common soil collembolan that can tolerate prolonged exposure to soils at 98.2 per cent relative humidity. The animal would be expected to lose water in soils below 100 per cent relative humidity. The springtail prevents this by producing high concentrations of glucose and myoinositol (a sugar alcohol). This raises its internal osmotic concentration sufficiently to arrest water loss to the environment. The springtail then starts to reabsorb water from the surrounding atmosphere. This enables it to remain active in the root zone of plants through a similar range of drought intensities tolerated by the plants themselves.
The accumulation of osmolytes is thus a common response to stress that involves problems with water balance. Trehalose, for example, is produced (by different organisms and under different circumstances) in response to desiccation, low temperatures, high temperatures and osmotic stress.
Maintaining the integrity of cell membranes is essential for the survival of an organism. The outer plasma membrane separates the cell from the environment and controls the exchange of materials between the inside and outside of the cell. Membrane systems within the cell (such as those of the endoplasmic reticulum, nucleus and mitochondria) play many important roles in the metabolism of cells. Cell membranes consist of lipids, proteins and carbohydrates. The lipid component, in particular, is important for maintaining the structure of the membrane and is susceptible to damage by changes in physical and chemical conditions.
Changes in temperature may produce a change in the state of the lipids and hence in the structure and properties of membranes. Membrane lipids melt at high temperatures. The membranes of thermophilic bacteria have a higher proportion of saturated fatty acids than do the membranes of bacteria that live at lower temperatures. This change in lipid composition makes their membranes more stable at high temperatures. The membranes of hyperthermophilic archaea are stable at even higher temperatures; their membranes have a different structure from those of other organisms, consisting of a monolayer rather than a bilayer (see Figure 4.4). This is responsible for their stability at extreme temperatures. Membrane lipids can also undergo a change in physical state and hence a loss of biological function as they solidify at low temperatures. The membranes of cold-tolerant organisms tend to have a higher proportion of unsaturated fatty acids than do those that live in higher temperatures (the reverse of the situation in thermophilic bacteria). Part of the cold-hardening process in plants involves an increase in the ratio of unsaturated to saturated fatty acids in their membranes (see Chapter 5).
The integrity and function of membranes is also threatened by desiccation. The structure of membranes is maintained by interactions between its lipids and water. As water is removed, the structure of the membrane changes and this can result in the fatal loss of cell contents once water returns. Trehalose (or sucrose in plants) is thought to replace water during desiccation, preventing changes in membrane structure and enabling organisms to survive anhydrobiotically (see Chapter 3). In plants, and perhaps other organisms, proteins (dehy-drins) may also be involved in stabilising membranes.
Both the structure and metabolism of cells depend on the functioning of proteins. In order to perform their roles in cells, proteins must maintain their correct folding or shape (conformation). A number of stresses disrupt the weak chemical bonds that hold the shape of proteins together, causing them to unravel, or otherwise change their shape, and lose their ability to function correctly (they denature). Denatured enzymes can no longer catalyse biological reactions and denatured structural proteins can no longer fulfil their roles in an organism. A stress which results in the permanent denaturation of a significant proportion of an organism's proteins brings about its death. Protein denaturation can result from high temperatures, low temperatures, desiccation, high pressures, high salt concentrations and acidic or alkaline conditions. Organisms have ways of preventing, or ameliorating the effects of, protein denaturation.
Molecular chaperones are a group of proteins that assist in the folding of other proteins, preventing them from sticking to each other and enabling them to attain a structure that allows them to function. These were first described as heat shock proteins, since they are produced in response to a mild heat stress (see Chapter 4). They are, however, triggered by every type of environmental stress that has been studied and they also function in unstressed cells. Protecting the conformation and function of proteins is a universal and ancient problem. Molecular chaperones are found in all organisms and must have arisen early in the evolution of life. It might be expected that molecular chaperones play a greater role in the biology of organisms from high stress/high variability environments than in those from low stress/low variability environments. As well as these molecular chaperones, other substances, such as trehalose, are involved in stabilising proteins and preventing their denaturation during exposure to stress.
Proteins that function as enzymes work best under a particular set of physical and chemical conditions. Where environmental conditions are outside the normal range, the enzymes must either be modified to function under these extreme conditions or the internal environments of cells must be modified to make them less extreme than those that surround them. Enzymes from organisms in cold, hot and high pressure environments are adapted to work under these conditions. These extremozymes are of interest for practical applications that require enzymes which function under extreme conditions.
Just like proteins, the nucleic acids that carry the genetic code (DNA) and those responsible for its translation (RNA) can be disrupted by exposure to various environmental stresses. Such changes are produced by, among other things, exposure to radiation, high temperatures, chemicals and oxygen radicals. Changes in DNA produce mutations that are usually harmful to the organism. Cells have a variety of mechanisms that limit or repair damage to nucleic acids and thus prevent the production of proteins that are malformed and useless. DNA molecules consist of two strands. If one of the strands is damaged, it will no longer pair up with the undamaged strand. The several different types of DNA repair mechanism rely on this lack of alignment between damaged and undamaged strands of the molecule. Enzymes called DNA repair nucleases recognise the altered portion of the molecule and separate it from adjacent unaltered regions on the same strand. A new copy of the damaged region is then made from the equivalent undamaged strand and inserted into the damaged strand to replace the altered region. These DNA repair mechanisms are particularly efficient in organisms that live in environments that are likely to induce high levels of DNA damage, such as in Pseudomonas radiodu-rans, a bacterium that survives in the cooling waters of nuclear reactors. As well as DNA repair, there are mechanisms that protect genes from damage and chromosomes contain proteins (histones) that bind to their DNA and help stabilise it.
Stress produces a greater rate of mutation, and of recombination (the process by which sexual reproduction produces new combinations of genes in the next generation by shuffling of genes from parents), which natural selection may act on to produce adaptation to stressful environments. Organisms exposed to stressful conditions thus tend to produce more variable offspring than those that are not exposed to stress. The increased variability may have a positive effect on the
evolution of the organism in stressful conditions, since evolution depends on there being variability for the process of natural selection to have its effect. Stress may also, however, produce mutations that are harmful to the organism and the overall effects of stress are not necessarily beneficial in terms of the evolution of an organism. However, if some of the mutations induced by stress produce adaptations that help the organism survive the stressful conditions, these will be selected for and the organism will evolve to become better adapted to its environment.
A physiological definition of extreme?
Organisms that live in extreme environments have specific physiological and biochemical solutions to the problems which confront them. Perhaps we could recognise an environment as being extreme by the presence of such adaptations among the organisms that live there. There is, however, the danger of producing a circular argument - an extreme environment is considered extreme because the organisms that live there have adaptations to live in an extreme environment. All organisms have adaptations to the environment in which they live. An enzyme of a polar fish that works at —1.9 °C, or of a hot-spring bacterium which functions at high temperatures, no more defines that environment as being an extreme environment than does the presence of an enzyme that functions best at 20°C in a tropical fish. Maybe we could recognise an adaptation to an extreme environment as being one that was not possessed by the organism's ancestors, which inhabited less extreme conditions. I will look for an evolutionary solution to the problem of defining extreme environments later in this chapter.

Excellent place! I came in with a sprained knee and the pain was vastly reduced. Needles don't hurt at all. I will definitely be back! Highly recommend it!
by Marie K.
Dr. Chong is extremely knowledgeable, caring, and patient: all the necessary skill set that a good doctor would need. He explains the cause of your illness and tries to solve it together with the patient in a holistic way, in addition to the excellent treatment he provides. I had a chronic insomnia, and he was the only one who was able to treat and cure it.
I'm afraid of needles. So seeking out an acupuncturist wasn't an easy choice for me since one bad experience could have turned me away for good. I ended up choosing Yedam for my acupuncture.
The receptionists (both of them) at the front desk are amazing and helpful. The place is very clean and has a good vibe to it. Dr. Chong is amazing and always has a wonderful attitude when you see him. He explains everything about the process as well as the goals of treatment. He cares about the patient and is very easy to talk to.
I've been going for 7 or 8 weeks now. If it didn't work or sucked I definitely would have stopped after the first time.
by Kyeong T.
I came here with my spouse who never experienced acupuncture. When we walked into the clinic, receptionists were very welcoming. We waited a few minutes and entered the therapy room. As we walked in, I could tell my husband was getting anxious until he spoke with Dr. Cheong! My husband was at ease once Dr. Cheong explained the differences between Western and Oriental practices and how it works. Needless to say, we loved our first experience at Yedam and can not wait to return. Thank you again!

I had lower back problems for many years. I've been gone to emergency and urgent care, but none of their treatments help. Since I started my 3rd treatments with Dr. Chong all my lower back pain is gone. Dr. Chong literally saved my back pains. I referred to my Dad who is 76-years-old. He's not a fan of acupuncture. After one treatment for his knee. He felt great and love it! He's definitely going back for other treatments. I really appreciate it Dr. Chong for what he have done to me and my family. I highly recommended.
by Lex L.
Dr. Chong is the best acupuncturist in NoVa hands down. I have been to many Korean and Chinese acupuncturists in my lifetime including the ones in Annandale. He spends time explaining your illnesses and the causes behind them. He has great bedside manners, is always smiling and is extremely empathetic, understanding & compassionate.
I have had acupuncture done here myself for my back pain by Dr. Chong- awesome! I have also been taking my elderly mother here and he has been the only one to make a difference in her health. She has bouts of dizziness, back pain and neuropathy in both of her legs and feet which are extremely painful. Dr. Chong has changed her quality of life. I bought 10 prepaid sessions and more for my motger
We have tried other Korean acupuncturists in Annandale but Dr. Chong is light years ahead of the rest although his birth age is younger than the others. He is a 3rd generation acupuncturist.
Dr. Chong is always busy with patients that are Korean, American and many other nationalities as he is bilingual. Even though his schedule is usually fully committed, the receptionists will always squeeze you in. Front desk team is always sweet, courteous and very helpful.
If you want the best acupuncturist for your pain or illnesses, you should definitely come here!
by Eleanor M.
I have been suffering with my lower back pain and sciatica. Last year it became worst. I had 3 epidural injections that did not work (waste of money), they recommended open back surgery ( of course not). I had been going to a spa where they are supposed to have an acupressure massage and another injection from a spine center. In short, i found Dr. Chong thru the internet for acupuncture, he is very good. He also did an acupressure on my back, with that said, finally i found someone who does an acupressure right, very knowledgeable. I will be seeing him more often.
by Yohannes Makonnen
Dr. Chong & Christine (receptionist) have the best customer service. They are so sweet. Dr. Chong listens to his patients. I have brought my mother, husband and myself here. Will bring my brothers and my in laws here. My mother & I have gone to other acupuncturists and none other has been able to treat my mother but Dr. Chong is a miracle worker. He is awesome!
Dr. Puramo Chong's medical practice is of a high order of sophistication and effectiveness. His methodology aims to directly tackle the root cause of illness – the root cause is more often than not to be found in imbalances in the "constitution." In my own case per Dr. Chong's constitution analysis, an intolerance to cold proclivity exists, leading to digestive/stomach imbalances and/or a slew of other symptoms such as chronic fatigue. I must report that his easy to consume herbal medicine treatments have much improved my overall health and sense of well being and have addressed various symptoms including digestive and fatigue related chronic conditions. I would strongly urge suffering folks to do themselves a favor and commence the journey into the world of Korean traditional medicine with this wonderful physician.
by pemapal
When you listen to good and honest people you get good and honest advice. In that regard I was doubly blessed. After having severe back pain where I couldn't move, turn around or even sit in a car. A good friend of mine suggested that I go see Dr. Chong which was the first part of good advice that I received. So I called up and made up an appointment to see Dr. Chong. After two visits I was totally healed, pain free, laughing once again. And now, if anybody has similar problem I give them my honest and good advice and say go see Dr Chong.

Frequently asked questions:
Why hammocks without a pole?
Anchorage bars are usually used for short hammocks. Hammocks without bars are more stable and can be used in a larger variety of situations. Also our hammocks can be stored in their small pouch, making them easy to carry around and the length of the whole thing insures that your shoulders don't feel crammed and overburdened.
How can I install my hammock at home?
The first step is finding two anchorage points that are sturdy enough to handle the exercised pressure. So from the word "go" things like: tubing, water pipes, gas pipes or pipelines of any sorts, simple nails in the wall (no matter how sturdy they might seem), furniture, etc, are out of the question. The most reliable way is by mounting conexpand-type screws with anchor bolt hangers in the two desired anchorage points. It is essential that you use walls that are reinforced (concrete); we don't recommend using brick walls for this. The rings of the anchor bolt hangers are quite small (so you won't have to worry about it making your walls look ugly), if you don't mind people noticing them know that it can even double as a hanger when not in use with the hammock.
2. If you want to install a hammock indoors but don't know how or you just need a little help with it, we might be able to come to your place and install it for you. Even if you don't have much free space in your house I'm sure we can find a solution.

What is the maximum weight a hammock can hold?
MinorSwing hammocks are made from waterproof nylon-type or microfiber-type material, being able to handle a maximum weight of about 120-140kg static force. The hammocks from the BigSwing and double series are made from thicker fabric materials and have reinforced stitching, thus the maximum weight it can handle increases to 200kg static force.
How do I take care of my hammock?
While they don't usually need extra care, it's not indicated to leave them exposed for too long to rain or sunshine. When it's not being used a hammock lives most happily in its compression bag. Also be careful how you wield sharp object around the hammock, lit cigarettes can also be an enemy of your hammock. The holes caused by them can actually lead to the weakening of the fabric, which in time can cause to even bigger tears that render the hammock unusable. They can be washed manually or you can use a washing machine set to 30-40°C.
What else do I need to know about installing a hammock?
Depending on how you want to install your hammock – in the classical horizontal way or as a swing- you must keep in mind to have a 4 to 6 m free space between the two anchorage points.
Can two people sleep in a hammock?
I always said that it's pretty hard for two people to be able to sleep in the same hammock… but a lot of people have succeeded! The answer is yes, two people can sit comfortably enough to doze off in a double hammock (they have an extra 1m material in their fabrication).
Can I have sex in a hammock?
Sure, as long as you can find a good position! We suggest you find two branches that are flexible and resistant enough though.
Other questions?
If you have any additional questions or issues of any kind don't hesitate to contact us!

When Farron announced that we were pushing for another referendum on Europe, I agreed with those who accused the Lib Dems of ignoring democracy because we didn't like the result. While I still sympathise with these criticisms, I have eventually come around to the party's position. Or at least – I think that there is a strong principled case for it (I still have some practical questions).
This case is based on accountability. Election results are not the be all and end all of democracy, they are part of a wider process. In a General Election, this process involves political parties making their case to the British people, and the public choosing which party they like best. Crucially, the people then judge how well that party has followed through with their promises, and hold them to account at the next election (as we know only too well in the Lib Dems).
Of course, I understand that you can't have referendums every five years, but there still has to be some mechanism of accountability to make a vote democratically viable. Otherwise, campaigners can just say whatever they think will get people to vote for them, whether it's achievable or not. The alleged "£350 million for the NHS" was the most infamous case of this, but Leave campaigners also hedged their bets wildly on the single market – much more significantly in my view. The Remain camp lied too (Osborne said that he would introduce an emergency budget after Brexit, Cameron said that he would stay on as Prime Minister) but as we lost anyway, these lies aren't as pressing from a democratic perspective, as we know they didn't change the result.
The bottom line is that democracy without accountability is not real democracy. Brexiteers like Gove, Johnson and Farage were not in power during the referendum campaign, and did not expect to be in power on the 24th of June regardless of the result. So they were able to say whatever they thought would win votes for Brexit, without worrying about the follow through. Maybe these lies and hedged bets tipped the referendum result – maybe they didn't. The only way to establish this is to have another referendum, once we know what kind of Brexit we are going to get. If the Remainers won that referendum, that wouldn't be an establishment stitch-up subverting the will of the people. It would be an indication that the form of Brexit which we've ended up with isn't what people wanted. It's called accountability – and it's completely legitimate.
As I said, I remain unsure about the practicalities of this. Would there be enough time for another referendum? Would the public buy into it? Would the EU give us a terrible deal to encourage us to vote it down? But, in principle, I have come around to the argument that a referendum on the terms of Brexit would not be a subversion of democracy.
I happen to think that the Brexiteers would win again – but perhaps recent political events have turned me into a pessimist.

From The Socialist newspaper, 8 August 2018
Northants Council in total collapse: for a citizens' assembly to draw up a 'needs budget'
Steve Score, Socialist Party East Midlands
The unprecedented financial crisis of Northamptonshire's Tory county council continues. The first council to go technically bankrupt for many years is slashing services even further.
But the crisis in Northants is only the first, with many more councils on the brink. East Sussex Tory council has also announced it will be cutting services down to the "core" of statutory services.
The children's commissioner for England has highlighted a national crisis. Councils are failing to meet their obligations to provide services for vulnerable children.
She said there were 1.5 million children in households where there were issues such as severe mental health problems and domestic violence who were not getting the help they need.
Protesters made their presence known once more outside the latest emergency meeting of Northants on 1 August. Councillors discussed a paper proposing up to £70 million of cuts to a budget that had already been devastated.
Even before these cuts, 16 of the 21 county libraries were being closed, along with children's centres, elderly services and subsidies for rural bus services. They say they aim to protect "core services" without detailing what they are.
As Paul Crofts from Save Northants Services said: "The papers talk about protecting children in significant harm. But what about those just at risk of harm? Will the council not intervene?" There is no doubt that vulnerable adults and children will suffer.
Questions have been raised about whether the council can even keep legally required 'statutory services' running because of the severity of its financial crisis. A second 'section 114 notice' has just been issued after the first six months ago, banning all new non-statutory spending.
As a model Tory authority, it outsourced services and made cuts. The huge debt from 'private finance initiative' (PFI) schemes alone costs nearly £50 million a year in repayments.
But let's be clear: this isn't just down to 'mismanagement' by local Tory councillors. This is also a result of the huge cuts made to council funding by the government nationally.
Save Northants Services and public service union Unison have called for an immediate, emergency injection of funds to avert the current crisis. However, they have no trust in the government, left to its own devices, to solve the crisis in a way that will help local services.
Commissioners sent in by the government have proposed dividing the authority. But no amount of reorganisation would solve the lack of money!
The Socialist Party supports the call made by Save Northants Services for a citizens' assembly, involving council staff, trade unions, community campaigns and others who support an anti-austerity agenda, to discuss working out a genuine people's 'needs budget'.
We need an alternative strategy. The cuts must be immediately reversed, services brought back in-house and PFI debt scrapped.
Campaigners are also demanding the council resign and force new elections to give local people a genuine alternative to Tory cuts. The Socialist Party supports this demand - but it is vital that any candidates aiming to replace the Tories adopt a no-cuts budget approach.
With or without an emergency election, a mass campaign needs to be built linking trade unions and the workforce - both direct and outsourced - with the community across Northamptonshire, to force extra funding from the government.
Communities across the county will undoubtedly suffer as a consequence of these cuts. Already in villages surrounding Northampton, bus services have been stripped right back with some ceasing to run altogether, leaving many residents without public transport.
The impact the proposed cuts will have on library services also cannot be underestimated. For several towns and villages in Northamptonshire, libraries are also community hubs, providing a place for jobseekers to search for work, for parents and their children to participate in holiday activities, and also providing bus passes and blue badges.
Without libraries and reliable bus services, residents across Northamptonshire are finding themselves in an impossible predicament, cut off from larger towns and unable to fully participate in social activities.
A proposed 'single-tier' structure to replace Northamptonshire County Council is also in the pipeline. Despite the fact the majority of residents oppose such a measure - particularly in Corby where 98% put forward an emphatic 'No' to a unitary authority - it is looking increasingly likely in the wake of the devastation of Northamptonshire Council's finances.
It is clear the county council is in serious trouble.

Coronavirus crisis - Finance appeal
The coronavirus crisis has laid bare the class character of society in numerous ways. It is making clear to many that it is the working class that keeps society running, not the CEOs of major corporations.
The results of austerity have been graphically demonstrated as public services strain to cope with the crisis.
The government has now ripped up its 'austerity' mantra and turned to policies that not long ago were denounced as socialist. But after the corona crisis, it will try to make the working class pay for it, by trying to claw back what has been given.
- The Socialist Party's material is more vital than ever, so we can continue to report from workers who are fighting for better health and safety measures, against layoffs, for adequate staffing levels, etc.
- Our 'fighting coronavirus workers' charter', outlines a programme to combat the virus and protect workers' living conditions.
- When the health crisis subsides, we must be ready for the stormy events ahead and the need to arm workers' movements with a socialist programme - one which puts the health and needs of humanity before the profits of a few.
Inevitably, during the crisis we have not been able to sell the Socialist and raise funds in the ways we normally would.
We therefore urgently appeal to all our viewers to donate to our special coronavirus appeal.

Opportunities for overall health information experts are diverse and challenging. The institution also consists of the UTHealth Healthcare School, UTHealth School of Dentistry, UTHealth School of Nursing, the UT Graduate College of Biomedical Sciences, and UTHealth School of Public Health. Almost all colleges and universities in the U.S. have IT programs so you will not have any problems discovering the proper certification, diploma or degree system for you.
Sometimes, we could use the data that we have collected to send you data about other items and services provided by University of Cincinnati, and updated details that may interest you. The IT jobs for felons that are in high demand include pc application engineers, network systems and information communications analysts, systems analysts, and network and systems administrators, once again according to the Division of Labor's report. We are actually founded on the principles of taking care of others, and this has led to a national reputation as the authority in health information education.
Beyond creating the technical skills, employers are searching for the capacity to build and maintain operating relationships, difficult yourself and other folks to focus on employing technology to improve information management for improved patient care. An IT specialist who holds a primary undergraduate degree (two.2 honours or larger) with encounter of functioning in a health care setting. UC provided the 1st bachelor's degree in nursing and the first Emergency Medicine coaching plan.
This program will evaluate the sub disciplines of clinical and computational informatics emphasizing the integration of personal computer science and the impact of clinical outcomes. E-Well being, or Electronic Overall health, is the usually the umbrella term that encompasses all elements of technology in the workplace that nurse informatics are quite familiar with. Students understand how to style an actual IT project structure and will receive hands-on experience using project management application.
Most nurses who are in the informatics field commence in a specialty region, such as the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Perioperative Solutions (OR), Med-Surg, Orthopedic Nursing, or Oncology, just to name a handful of, and work in that specialty field for an extended period. Their applications give the foundation for the design, implementation, and evaluation of well being policies and applications.

An incident towards the end of last month resulted in an emergency flight to a Fairfax County hospital for a person working on a construction site within the city of Fairfax. Preliminary reports from the Fairfax Police Department and the Fairfax County Fire and Rescue suggest that the construction accident happened close to midnight, as road workers within the county were engaged in their work at the intersection of Monument Drive and Monument Way.
Crash Between Alexandria Officer and Civilian Sends Officer to Hospital
A collision between a police cruiser with the Alexandria Police Department and a civilian vehicle resulted in the cruiser being shoved off of the road and into a building near the street early in April. The incident, which happened on Tuesday, April 3rd, resulted in the officer on duty in the cruiser being taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. An official report filed by the Alexandria police department states that the crash is still under investigation while the authorities attempt to discover just what happened to cause the two cars to ram into one another with such force.
Lamborghini Sheers in Half After Collision with Concrete Pole in Tysons Corner
Crash reconstruction units at work in Fairfax County are in the process of investigating a crash that happened early on Friday morning. Reports from the scene are so far incomplete, although it does appear that only one vehicle was involved in the incident and that the single occupant of this vehicle was treated for injuries. It is not clear if this person was transported to a nearby hospital, but we do know that their injuries were deemed to be minor. This fact is rather extraordinary, given the violence of the accident.

Introduction: The Perfect Chocolate Cake
Often times, cakes are only appealing to the eye. The taste is usually too sweet and/or dry. I decided to develop my version of the perfect chocolate cake. The perfect cake is moist, has both dark and milk chocolate, with berries and whip cream. It not only tastes great the first day but is even more delicious the next day.

Add a Teacher Note to share how you incorporated it into your lesson.
Step 1: INGREDIENTS
4 cup Heavy cream
24oz Semisweet Chocolate
2/3 cup Butter
2 tablespoon Vanilla
2 1/4 cup Flour
1 1/2 teaspoon Baking Soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 teaspoon Baking Powder
4oz Bittersweet Chocolate
3/4 cup Butter
1 1/2 cup Sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon Vanilla
3/4 cup Milk
Fresh strawberries
1-2 tablespoon Sugar
2 cup Heavy cream whip
Vanilla and Powder sugar
Step 2: CAKE
Preheat an oven to 350F. Butter three 9-inch cake pans. First mix all dry ingredients in medium bowl,flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder. Set aside.
In the top pan of double boiler of a heatproof bowl set over (not touching) simmering water in a pan, melt the chocolate stirring until smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
In a large bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium speed, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy, 3-5 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Then add the cooled chocolate and the vanilla and mix until blended. Reduce the speed and add flour and milk in small alternate batches.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pans. Tap them on a countertop to rid the batter of any air pockets. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of each cake comes out clean, 25-30 minutes. Transfer to racks and let cool int the pans for 15 minutes, then invert the cakes onto the racks and let cool in the pans for 15 minutes, then invert the cakes onto the racks to cool completely.
Step 3: FROSTING
In a heavy saucepan over high heat, bring the cream to a boil. Remove from the heat and add the chocolate, butter and vanilla, stirring constantly until both the chocolate and butter are melted and the mixture is smooth. Place the pan in the refrigerator and stir every 15 minutes.
Check every 5 minutes near this point for a spreadable consistency. (If the frosting becomes too thick, let stand at room temperature, stirring occasionally, until it softens to a spreadable consistency.)
Step 4: FILLINGS
Pre chill bowl and hand whisk(if you don't have a mixer). In mixer, or with a chill whisk; whip the heavy cream until it becomes whip cream. Add 1-2 tablespoon of powder sugar or 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla to add a little flavor if you prefer. Put cut strawberries and 1 teaspoon of sugar in saucepan over low heat. Heat 3-5 minutes. If your using frozen raspberries, drain well and set aside.
Step 5: LAYERING AND FROSTING CAKE
To frost the cake, place 1 cake layer, flat side up onto a cake plate. Spread the top with frosting and raspberries. Place second cake layer on top of first layer. Spread frosting on top. Add strawberries then whip cream. Place last cake layer on top of whip cream and quickly frost the whole cake with the rest of the frosting.
Refrigerate the cake for at least an hour before enjoying.

WOC CEO Emphasizes Vital Role of Business Community in EU Ocean "Blue Growth" Programs and Projects at European Maritime Day
Speaking at the opening day plenary of European Maritime Day, WOC CEO Paul Holthus stressed the importance of the private sector as a critical partner in EU maritime and ocean programs on science, policy, observations, technology, marine spatial planning, skills, innovation and other areas related to the Blue Economy.
Mr. Holthus highlighted the role of business in developing solutions to the challenges of responsible ocean economic development. He noted that cross-sectoral collaboration within the diverse ocean business community, as well as engaging with other stakeholders, is essential to addressing many of these challenges and securing the health of the ocean.
As an international, multi-industry alliance of ocean leadership companies, the WOC is a portal for facilitating industry participation in marine-related programs and projects of the EU and other government and inter-governmental bodies. For example, as a registered entity in Europe, the WOC is particularly well positioned to assist with industry involvement to shape the development and implementation of the proposed EU "Blue Economy Business and Science Forum".
The WOC facilitates private sector involvement in ocean sustainability, science and stewardship through collaboration in specific projects, such as those being developed through Horizon 2020. The WOC also encourages involvement in regional level collaboration, such in sea-basin scale efforts in the Mediterranean, as well as in broader initiatives, such as EU-US-Canada collaboration under the trans-Atlantic Galway Statement.
International ocean business community coordination and cooperation is often essential to effectively tackling the many Blue Growth challenges that are multi-sectoral, regional or global in nature.
About the World Ocean Council (WOC)
The WOC is the only international, cross-sectoral alliance for private sector leadership and collaboration in "Corporate Ocean Responsibility". Companies and associations worldwide are distinguishing themselves as leaders in ocean sustainability, stewardship and science by joining the WOC. Members to date include over 70 leadership organizations from a wide range of ocean industries: oil and gas, shipping, seafood, fisheries, aquaculture, mining, renewable energy, ocean technology, maritime law, marine environmental services and other areas. For the current list of WOC Members, click here. The WOC News Release is received by over 34,000 ocean industry stakeholders around the world.
