Thank you for submitting your review! It will be reviewed by our staff before it is posted.After having used it for a little over two months, I have to say it is the first time I can actually see improvement! I don't think it's just the high percentage of retinol, it must be the formula that makes it work so well. Skin is overall smoother, brighter and signs of ageing are less prominent. I experienced NO irritation at all and it's the first retinol I am able to use on my neck and decollete area without feeling itchy (I have tried various retinols in the past). I now use it every night followed by moisturizer.
I also wish you could do a comparison with the new one with 2% Bakuchiol.I have combi skin, sensitive. I tried this tretment 2 times (2 days in week) and ended up with irritation and dehydration. It is VERY ACTIVE. You really need to know how to use this one retinol product. It is very important to start from 1 time per week with this treatment. And see 7 days after reaction of your skin. No exfoliating, no active creams/serum before applying this tretment, even in the morning. It is very delicate when you apply on the face, nice texture, would never say that it can be so agressive. But it will give surprise to you if you will start to use it more than 1 time per week. So, it is necessary to be very carefulThis product has made a huge difference in my cystic acne, which I especially get between my eyebrows. I find that my breakouts disappear more quickly when using this product, and the frequency of new breakouts is greatly reduced. Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment has been a staple in my nighttime skincare routine for over a year now.I read a lot of other reviewers mentioning this product was recommended to them by their dermatologist. I'm wondering why they don't just use a prescription product then as that is a more potent and effective product. Retinol isn't as effective, but still delivers results. The first time I used this PC product my face was SO RED. It reacted angrily and I felt sunburned. My skin adjusted though and it did look smoother, The problem is, a lot of other PC products I use contain a bit of retinol in it and I felt my face was getting overloaded by it. It got red and angry whenever anytime was applied to it- which is a sign to me I was overdoing it. I use the bottle I have now once every week or so to give my face a break. It packs a punch though and does improve the look of my skin. I would recommend it to anyone looking to improve the look and texture of their skin. The pump is easy to use. However the bottle is opaque and it's hard to tell when you're running out of product. I'm taking off a lippie for that.I was a bit hesitant in the beginning after reading the instructions of gradual use in order to avoid irritations; I used it every other day for the first week and then every day- no redness, no irritation whatsoever and at the same time visible results in skin appearance and firmness- a must haveFirst I bought a trial size and I liked the results. I have plenty of whiteheads on my jawline and neck that give me cystic acne and nothing would help with that. Ever since I started using this treatment my jawline is smoother and smoother, my bumps disappear and my face looks so much more fresh and even-toned. I have kissed goodbye my painful aweful cystic acne! This is one of my favorite products from the brand. It is worth every cent!It's a product that works wonders if you wish to smooth out your skin, whether it's scars from acne or enlarged pores. It also feels as if it gives a healthy overall glow to your entire face. Though you should follow instructions carefully and let your skin adapt. If you overuse it your skin will flake and dry out - balance (and a good moisturiser) is the key. Personally I shall continue using this at nighttime with a day or two space inbetween treatments.I am 32 with oily skin, some blackheads (nose), a couple of closed comedones (one every couple of months) and extremely rare breakouts (less than one inflammed cyst a year).
I have been using a complete PC Regimen for about 6 months, and I have been delighted with all of the products so far (Cleanser, Toner, Liquid Exfoliant, Multi-Correction anti-aging treatment and Resist moisturisers, Oil absorbing mask, eye cream, etc...).
The liquid exfoliant kept blackheads to a minimum and the entire regimen helped my skin look fresh, bright and wrinkle free!
A few weeks ago I decided to try the 1% Retinol Treatment... and it was a big big mistake! I strictly followed all of the advice regarding the product, using it every other three nights for 3 weeks, no BHA or AHA on the same days, etc. At first my skin was ok, even glowing, but after a week it started getting very congested, especially around my nose and chin. Two weeks later, I broke out in about ten inflamed whiteheads around the nose and upper lip, and about as many on my chin... I had never experienced that before, even as a teenager! Needless to say, it was quite embarassing getting such a massive breakout all of a sudden at 32... I wasn't sure what was causing the reaction, but as the only thing that had changed in my skin care routine was the Retinol treatment I thought that might be it. I stopped using the treatment and went back to the basic 5 step PC skin care regimen I was doing before and my skin started to improve. Now, two weeks after stopping the Retinol Treatment the skin around my nose and upper lip is back to normal, except for a few red post-breakout marks, but I am still dealing with the clogged pores, whiteheads, blackheads and red marks on my chin. I can't wait for my skin to get back to the way it was before introducing the Retinol treatment.
So, I love all of the other PC products I have tried so far, but I wish the Retinol Treatment wasn't recommended for all skin types or breakout prone skin, or at least came with a word of caution...I have been using this for a year now. Just got my second bottle today. I've never seen ANYTHING that not only can change how your skin looks, but how it works as well. There were side effects yes. There was peeling and flaking specially in the eye area even though i never applied it directly there, and my concealer the morning after couldn't stay in place. Also, the weirdest side effect i experienced was that everything else i applied on my face burned like hell. Moisturisers i've been using for years, serums, sunscreen, everything. Not the product itself but everything else. I was patient and after a month or two....wiiiiii!!!!
I'm 27, normal to combination skin,with hormonal breakouts once a month that took forever to go away, heavy smoker, and from a beautiful but extremely sunny country. I started using a pump only at night and once a week after cleansing and toning. I followed with a serum and/or paula's face oil and my moisturiser. No BHA Liquid (LOVE OF MY LIFE) with it in the beggining, as the directions said. After a month i went to two applications per week. Still side effects, no bha. And after a while, my skin calmed down. Nothing burned, nothing bothered me. I added my bha. So cleansing,toning, exfoliating, clinical, serum, moisturiser, facial oil.
Well... I started waking up with beautiful radiant almost perfect skin. Also, did you notice the past tense when i said "they TOOK for ever to go away?" My breakouts went from 5 to 1-2. I still get one or two, but they fade immediately with no extras (tea tree oil solutions, blah blah blah). Just on their own. They can't survive for more than two or three days. A year has passed, and i'm on two or three times per week with no problems, only benefits. Only a pump. This thing lasts and works.
Bottom line : all i know is that i had three expression wrinkles on my forehead and fine lines under the eyes and now i don't. THANK YOU! I won't have to quit smoking any time soon! :D (kidding)....(no i'm not)I am 33, with mature acne and first sign of ages. For me it is the best product I have ever used.It really works. My skin glows, looks healthy, heal faster. This product resolved a lot of my skin problems.I bought this product in combination with other PC products to establish new skincare routine. I followed the instructions and slowly introduced it into my routine, despite that I still experienced irritation and slight burning in first couple of seconds, followed by redness. I kept using it thinking that my skin will get used to it, the side effects did dial down but I saw absolutely no benefit or change on my skin after more than one month of using it. It did not plump my fine lines at all (I am 24), it caused flakiness which I expected, I was okay with getting some side effects, given that it would help with my fine lines and premature wrinkles, as well as acne but it did not do anything for me. Disappointed.
Customer Care: Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that this product did not work for you. Please contact our customer care team for further assistance with a recommendation.While I have been using this product for a short, I am so pleased with the results. I am very family with retinol, as for years I used only retinol on my skin when going to a doctor. For years I have looked for a product such as this, and I am extremely happy.I've been using the retinol 1% for 1 year and I can confidently say that this is the PC product that gave me the most dramatic and "across the board" results.
My skin appearance is better overall : my skin is even-toned, brighter and feels plumper. Fine line have been reduced, pores are smaller, dark spots faded (not gone but smaller/lighter).
It also seems to have normalized my skintype : one year ago I had very dry skin and now it's more normal-dry.
How it went :
I'm 43, have sensitive skin and some products I can not use : strong vitamin C serums, daily 5% AHA (I use the 10% liquid once a week and only started using it once my skin was ok with using the Retinol 1% every night)... So I knew I had to introduce the Retinol 1% slowly if I didn't want to get red angry skin.
I started using the Retinol 1% only once a week (Sundays) for 3 weeks, then twice a week (Sundays and Wednesdays)for 1-1.5 month, then every other night for 2-3 months.
I then went to every night but mixing the Retinol 1% with a drop of oil every other night (1 night undiluted/1 night mixed with oil). Now I use it undiluted 5 nights a week (Sundays are 10% AHA night now) on my face with no irritation.
Routine :
I use 1 pump for the face, I dot it around and then spread it.
I use 1 pump for my neck also BUT I still can't use it every night there so it's 3 times a week tops for now or else my neck gets red patches and itches.
I apply the Retinol 1% at night only, 15 minutes after cleansing/toning. I then apply the Skin Recovery Antioxidant Serum around my eyes (best eye cream ever !). And I top it all with few drops of oil (PC's or regular Jojoba oil).
Most importantly : I never forget to use sunscreen during the day ;)
Customer Care: Thank you for your review. We are delighted to hear of your journey with this product and what a success it is. We are also happy that you were patient with building up the use. Enjoy!Tried this all over my face with a jojobaoil on top. Nothing happened. So I then tried it one night without anything on top. Two days later my face was bright red, like a baaaad sunburn and it hurt so much! I couldn't use any cleanser or moisturizer or sunscreen, only face oil. It started to peel and looked awful (couldn't wear makeup and had to look this way at work) for over a week. I don't really have sensitive skin, my skin is perfectly fine with aha and bha and the paula's choice retinol cream. I thought it would at least leave my skin looking great after but...nope. Nothing. It doesn't look any better after all that peeling than before. I'm afraid to use it again. All that pain and then no result? Not sure.
Customer Care: thank you for sharing your experience with us - we're sorry to hear this didn't work as expected for you! Please contact a member of our Customer Care team for further advice.This is an awesome product on so many levels, but first and foremost because it works and does exactly what it claims to do. The ingredients are top-notch, the quantity of retinol pretty high (something seldom found in Western Europe), and the results really impressive. Now don't expect this little wonder to make you look 20 years younger, because it won't... but I personally think that 5 to 10 years is a pretty good compromise! One last thing, I did experience a little peeling and redness here and there during the first month of using it, but nothing a good moisturizer/facial oil couldn't handle.I love this product. It is working like on descriptions. The product make a baby skin. This size is perfect to test the product for more times and is very easy to take for a holidays or travels. Thank you.I have extremely oily, sensitive skin.... I've just been using it 3 times a week
and I skip BHAs on the days I use it.. this product is amazing my skin is glowing

What should I do if my skin reacts too strongly to Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment?
If your skin reacts too strongly (resulting in red, scaly or dry skin) use Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment less frequently or mix one pump of Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment with your favourite Paula's Choice serum, Resist Moisture Renewal Oil Booster or night cream. If the skin continues to react, stop using the product. Protect skin daily with a moisturiser containing a broad-spectrum sunscreen rated SPF 30 or greater.
What is the difference between Resist 1% Retinol Booster and Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment?
The Resist 1% Retinol Booster and Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment have many similarities. Both of these contain 1% retinol, peptides, a large amount of antioxidants and substances that prevent skin irritation. The difference is mainly in texture, usage and skin type (although they are both suitable for all skin types).
Resist 1% Retinol Booster has a thinner, fluid texture, so it can be easily mixed with your favourite serum or night cream. It is ideal for normal to oily and breakout-prone skin. It is also a great choice if you are looking for a higher concentration of retinol. You can blend Resist 1% Retinol Booster with your serum or night cream for a milder effect or more frequent use.
Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment has a creamy lotion texture that is ideal for normal to dry skin. It is an intensive treatment with a high concentration of retinol. This product is suitable for when you are used to retinol treatments, and are looking for more powerful results. It is best to add this product to your skincare routine gradually - initially no more than every other day.
Are there any products that I cannot combine with Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment?
You can combine the Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment with any other skincare product. If you combine the product with 'active' products such as AHAs, BHAs, products for acne-prone skin, products with retinol or with prescription retinoids, it is important that you monitor how your skin reacts, and then adapt the usage accordingly.
Can I use Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
The percentage of retinol in Clinical 1% Retinol Treatment is comparable to the strength of some prescription retinoids (which must not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding). Because of the relationship between retinol (cosmetic variant of vitamin A) and retinoids, we advise you not to use this product if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, unless your doctor has given explicit permission. Although there is no direct evidence that cosmetic retinol can be harmful, we'd prefer to err on the side of caution.

Galileo died on Christmas Day, 1642 — the day of Newton's birth. The further consideration of the grand field of discovery opened out by Galileo with his telescopes must be now postponed, to avoid discontinuity in the history of the intellectual development of this period, which lay in the direction of dynamical, or physical, astronomy.
Until the time of Kepler no one seems to have conceived the idea of universal physical forces controlling terrestrial phenomena, and equally applicable to the heavenly bodies. The grand discovery by Kepler of the true relationship of the sun to the planets, and the telescopic discoveries of Galileo and of those who followed him, spread a spirit of inquiry and philosophic thought throughout Europe, and once more did astronomy rise in estimation; and the irresistible logic of its mathematical process of reasoning soon placed it in the position it has ever since occupied as the foremost of the exact sciences.
The practical application of this process of reasoning was enormously facilitated by the invention of logarithms by Napier. He was born at Merchistoun, near Edinburgh, in 1550, and died in 1617. By this system the tedious arithmetical operations necessary in astronomical calculations, especially those dealing with the trigonometrical functions of angles, were so much simplified that Laplace declared that by this invention the life-work of an astronomer was doubled. Jeremiah Horrocks (born 1619, died 1641) was an ardent admirer of Tycho Brahe and Kepler, and was able to improve the Rudolphine tables so much that he foretold a transit of Venus, in 1639, which these tables failed to indicate, and was the only observer of it. His life was short, but he accomplished a great deal, and rightly ascribed the lunar inequality called evection to variations in the value of the eccentricity and in the direction of the line of apses, at the same time correctly assigning the disturbing force of the sun as the cause. He discovered the errors in Jupiter's calculated place, due to what we now know as the long inequality of Jupiter and Saturn, and measured with considerable accuracy the acceleration at that date of Jupiter's mean motion, and indicated the retardation of Saturn's mean motion. Horrocks' investigations, so far as they could be collected, were published posthumously in 1672, and seldom, if ever, has a man who lived only twenty-two years originated so much scientific knowledge. At this period British science received a lasting impetus by the wise initiation of a much-abused man, Charles II., who founded the Royal Society of London, and also the Royal Observatory of Greenwich, where he established Flamsteed as first Astronomer Royal, especially for lunar and stellar observations likely to be useful for navigation. At the same time the French Academy and the Paris Observatory were founded. All this within fourteen years, 1662–1675. Meanwhile gravitation in general terms was being discussed by Hooke, Wren, Halley, and many others. All of these men felt a repugnance to accept the idea of a force acting across the empty void of space. Descartes (1596–1650) proposed an ethereal medium whirling round the sun with the planets, and having local whirls revolving with the satellites. As Delambre and Grant have said, this fiction only retarded the progress of pure science. It had no sort of relation to the more modern, but equally misleading, "nebular hypothesis." While many were talking and guessing, a giant mind was needed at this stage to make things clear.
7. SIR ISAAC NEwton — LAW of UNIVERSAL GRAVITATION
We now reach the period which is the culminating point of interest in the history of dynamical astronomy. Isaac Newton was born in 1642. Pemberton states that Newton, having quitted Cambridge to avoid the plague, was residing at Wolsthorpe, in Lincolnshire, where he had been born; that he was sitting one day in the garden, reflecting upon the force which prevents a planet from flying off at a tangent and which draws it to the sun, and upon the force which draws the moon to the earth; and that he saw in the case of the planets that the sun's force must clearly be unequal at different distances, for the pull out of the tangential line in a minute is less for Jupiter than for Mars. He then saw that the pull of the earth on the moon would be less than for a nearer object. It is said that while thus meditating he saw an apple fall from a tree to the ground, and that this fact suggested the questions: Is the force that pulled that apple from the tree the same as the force which draws the moon to the earth? Does the attraction for both of them follow the same law as to distance as is given by the planetary motions round the sun ? It has been stated that in this way the first conception of universal gravitation arose."
* The writer inherited from his father (Professor J. D. Forbes) a small box containing a bit of wood and a slip of paper, which had been presented to him by Sir David Brewster. On the paper Sir David had written these words: "If there be any truth in the story that Newton was led to the theory of gravitation by the fall of an apple, this bit of wood is probably a piece of the apple tree from which Newton saw the apple fall. When I was on a pilgrimage to the house in which Newton was born, I cut it off an ancient apple tree growing in his garden." When lecturing in Glasgow, about 1875, the writer showed it to his audience. The next morning, when removing his property from the lecture table, he sound that his precious relic had been stolen. It would be interesting to know who has got it now!
Quite the most important event in the whole history of physical astronomy was the publication, in 1687, of Newton's Principia (Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica). In this great work Newton started from the beginning of things, the laws of motion, and carried his argument, step by step, into every branch of physical astronomy; giving the physical meaning of Kepler's three laws, and explaining, or indicating the explanation of, all the known heavenly motions and their irregularities; showing that all of these were included in his simple statement about the law of universal gravitation; and proceeding to deduce from that law new irregularities in the motions of the moon which had never been noticed, and to discover the oblate figure of the earth and the cause of the tides. These investigations occupied the best part of his life; but he wrote the whole of his great book in fifteen months.
Having developed and enunciated the true laws of motion, he was able to show that Kepler's second law (that equal areas are described by the line from the planet to the sun in equal times) was only another way of saying that the centripetal force on a planet is always directed to the sun. Also that Kepler's first law (elliptic orbits with the sun in one focus) was only another way of saying that the force urging a planet to the sun varies inversely as the square of the distance.

The Ferrets started out in Maidstone, Kent, in 1978 but they soon settled in Manchester while parlaying academic careers in Manchester, Portsmouth, Nottingham and Preston into appearances all over the U.K.: John Peel once lamented that every gig he deejayed there seemed to be a Ferret there "clutching a demo tape in its sweaty paw".
There's a touch of The Fall and the TV Personalities, a little garage and Beat, hints of the rhythm-propelled sounds of the Monochromes, Feelies, Beefheart, Gang of 4/Delta 5 or Diagram Brothers, and a dry wit that had more to do with the Ferrets' favorite authors and comedians than anyone from the class of '77, but the Ferrets' response to D.I.Y. was all their own.
no one told us collects 28 tracks from 1980-82, including their lone Peel-championed 45. They also released two cassettes (perhaps 200 each) and 300-odd copies of their self-titled LP. After two years in Manchester the Ferrets wound down when two of them ended up in Miaow with Cath Carroll, another took over the editorship of Manchester's legendary City Fun, and a fourth got a doctorate in immunology. The complete saga's in the 12-page booklet, along with photos, artifacts, and almost 80 minutes of the Ferrets' finest on the CD.

Do you drink decaffeinated coffee in an effort to limit, or possibly eliminate, the amount of caffeine in your diet? Well, a recently published study suggests that decaffeinated coffee is not the same as caffeine-free. If you drink a caffeine-free beverage, you can be sure there's no caffeine, because if they don't add it, there can't be any. But coffee inherently contains caffeine, and it has to be processed in order to remove it. And there's usually still some left. In fact, just two cups of some decaffeinated coffee contain as much caffeine as would be found in a 12-ounce serving of Coke or Pepsi!
The researchers collected 10 samples of decaf from a variety of outlets and found them to contain anywhere from 0 – 13.9 mg/16 ounce serving. In addition, brewed decaf in six samples obtained at a Starbucks coffee shop contained 12 – 13.4 mg/16-ounce serving. Last, one shot of decaffeinated espresso from the Starbucks shop contained between 3 and 15.8 mg/shot (again, six samples were studied). The researchers picked Starbucks, I assume because it is widely available, however, I doubt that results would be different at any other specialty coffee shop.
Looking at the above numbers, we can approximate an average of about 10 mg of caffeine per 16 ounce serving of brewed decaf or per one shot of espresso. Let's try to put that figure into perspective. A 16-ounce serving of regular brewed coffee would contain about 260 mg of caffeine, and one shot of espresso would contain about 40 mg. A 16-ounce serving of Coke or Pepsi would contain about 48 mg of caffeine.
So we can see that decaf is definitely lower than regular coffee or cola, but, other studies have shown that caffeine doses as low as 10 mg can produce consistent behavioral and subjective effects in sensitive individuals. This means that if you are supposed to be on a caffeine-free diet because of illness or medications, even one serving of decaf could be enough to produce unwanted effects.
What's the bottom line? For most people, the amount of caffeine in decaf coffee will not be a problem, assuming they don't drink more than a few cups a day or aren't particularly sensitive or on an extremely restricted diet. But for some people even one cup may be too much. If your doctor tells you to cut down on caffeine, you should ask: "Do you mean cut down or eliminate?" You can easily eliminate caffeine from your diet by avoiding all coffee, tea, caffeinated sodas and all "energy" drinks. But "cutting down" by drinking decaf may be a little more tricky since you can't tell how much caffeine is still in the drink, and you can almost be certain that there is some caffeine present.

One book I watched with interest was The Adventures of Ook and Gluk, Kung-Fu Cavemen from the Future. I received a review copy prior to the bookfair and wanted to gauge popularity. While the book wasn't one of our top sellers, we did sell several copies over the course of the book fair. The book is written in a graphic novel style and written and illustrated by Dav Pilkey, the author of the Captain Underpants series. (To clarify, the books are written and illustrated under the names and from the perspective of George Beard (age 9-3/4) and Harold Hutchins (age 10), the made-up child creators of Captain Underpants.)
In order to save Caveland, two caveboys, Ook and Gluk, living in 500,001 BC, must fight the evil chief Goppernopper and his descendants from the future. Using a time machine, Goppernopper and his descendants are stealing natural resources from the caveman days to supply their evil, greedy corporation in the year 2222. The Goppernoppers' enslave Ook and Gluk along with their friend Lily the dinosaur and drag them to the future. The caveboys manage to escape, remain in the future and take kung-fu lessons for seven years from the wise Master Wong. After intensive training in both fighting and philosophy, they embark on their "heros jerney" as grown men.
At first glance, I can honestly say that I wasn't sure what to think of Ook and Gluk. Graphic novels really aren't my thing, and I'm not sure my oldest (a kindergartner) is ready for this story. The book looks and reads like something a 10-year-old boy would write, and thus it contains several intentionally misspelled words and uses words like suckas, barf, pee-brain, dumb head and diaper breath. So I sat quietly at the fair, watching and observing this one book, waiting for someone to comment. And, low and behold, one mom that I know and respect spoke up. She told me that while her oldest son, a sixth grader, loves to read, her second-grade son is just the opposite. Ook and Gluk happens to be one of her second-grader's favorite books. He thinks it is hilarious. She also said that while it might not be something she would pick out, she was glad to encourage any interest in reading, despite the misspellings and the cavemen-speak (cavemonics).
The reluctant reader appeal is exactly what Pilkey intended when developing this book. He excels at creating books kids will want to read, even if they don't like to read. Just look at the success of the Captain Underpants series ... Ook and Gluk carries on this legacy. The book is filled with plenty of action and lots of silly moments. Plus, it might inspire young authors to write their own graphic novel. My advice to parents with this one is to decide what is and is not appropriate for your child and age level - if your kid wants to read it, maybe read parts of it together, talk about the misspellings, the wise Master's advice and the environmental themes, but most of all, make sure to have a little fun with it. I found Flip-O-Rama pages in each chapter surprisingly entertaining and quite clever. From what I hear, they are a huge hit with the kids as well!

Internet of Things: Hype or Reality?
Nearly 15 years ago, RFID technology pioneer Kevin Ashton coined the term Internet of Things (IoT). He believed that this idea had the potential to change the world "if we had computers that knew everything there was to know about things."
That is as powerful a statement today as it was when it was first used. It was a vision for the future that is now becoming a business reality. However, the meaning behind "Internet of Things" is still somewhat a mystery even though it's a phrase being used more and more.
The discussion around it typically has been about the possibilities — the big "what ifs," particularly as it relates to consumers. There are many interesting ideas that will offer new conveniences and life-changing applications. We talk about "what if" we could connect the Internet to the things in our everyday life. At the 2013 International CES last week, we heard a lot about Internet-connected crockpots, washing machines and other home appliances. In a nutshell, it's about using data to make objects smarter and more responsive to our needs.
But I also see Internet of Things as a way to address important business challenges and critical global issues. "What if" we could connect the Internet to the things in a hospital — such as medication and expensive, critical equipment — to improve patient safety and ensure the right tools are available when doctors needs them. Or, to the things we eat, ensuring we can track food from the farm to the shelf to the home or restaurant, dramatically changing the outcome of food recalls.
These are big ideas. But are they really possible? Yes, they are, and we are already making strides to address big issues like patient safety and food traceability through IoT solutions.
Let's unravel some of the mystery that remains around this term: How do companies define Internet of Things, are they implementing or thinking about implementing related technologies and what benefits and challenges do they see in such solutions?
Possibilities Defined
First, based on the definition shared in the survey "Building Value from Visibility: 2012 Enterprise Internet of Things Adoption Outlook," 85 percent of organizations surveyed agree that Internet of Things solutions are made up of smart interconnected devices that provide more visibility into the organization's operational events.
With the premise that all devices connect to each other and trade info without human interaction, what does that mean for business?
If we look at what is happening today, organizations across the globe are striving to do more with less and to be more nimble and efficient. To do so, organizations need more visibility into operations in order to make smarter business decisions and unlock potential within the value chain.
Every day, events occur in a business: Assets are used, transactions take place and employees move about. Events constantly happen and those events constantly create data. What if you could harness this information and form new insights to solve a business challenge or drive innovation? The Internet of Things technologies will make this possible. Consider the following business challenges IoT could solve:
- The CDC estimated hundreds of thousands of vaccine doses are thrown out each year because of poor refrigeration at clinics, hospitals and doctors' offices. With barcodes, RFID and sensors, real-time temperature monitoring could be made automatic and save billions.
- Or, think about the possibilities of addressing recalled items, including food, drugs and parts. Lot numbers used to provide a broad idea of recalled items. With real-time locating solutions, organizations can hone in on very specific items that may be at issue, and potentially send automatic mobile alerts to organizations and consumers, reducing inventory loss, saving money and helping quickly redeem consumer or business trust.
Whether you are gaining deeper insight into existing events and transactions or discovering new information about things you never knew were taking place, that knowledge, that illumination, can fuel big transformations like a new way to drive customer loyalty or a new line of business. For example, an automotive manufacturer placing sensors in their products could help generate data that helps identify new services offerings, such as proactive maintenance. The opportunities are endless.
Path to Adoption
While I sometimes hear or read that the Internet of Things is hype, the reality is, it's real. In fact, we are at the tipping point for broader IoT adoption with 53 percent of organizations planning to implement an IoT solution in the next 24 months. Organizations in Asia Pacific and Latin America are more aggressive with 69 and 60 percent, respectively, planning to implement over the same time period, according to "Building Value from Visibility."
The market for Internet of Things is said to be in the billions of dollars, and that estimate largely looks at just the technology needed to enable an IoT solution.
How did we get here? It's been an evolution that started with barcodes, telling you what it is. Then, with technologies such as GPS and real-time locating solutions, we can now know where it is. For example, on the floor of an aerospace manufacturing plant, such technologies can, in real time, pinpoint the precise location of an expensive and critical tool. And finally, with sensors, we can know how it is. Consider a truck full of produce that is about to spoil. With sensors monitoring the temperature of the fruits and vegetables, the food distributor can get real-time alerts about the condition and re-route the truck to a different location if needed.
Benefits and Challenges
Global enterprise decision-makers are familiar with the Internet of Things term and most have a positive perception of it, according to "Building Value from Visibility." Also in the study, global IT decision makers noted big benefits: Supply chain optimization, cost efficiencies and improved customer experience in the next one to two years.
While momentum and interest is strong for IoT adoption, as with any new technology implementation, it's not without its challenges. IT decision makers note there are a number of technical challenges including system integration and data analytics. Additionally, they face internal challenges, such as facilitating stakeholder adoption of new solutions and implementation complexity.
It's important for organizations to prioritize implementations within their organizations. They should identify areas of the business where they can see a quick return on their investment from IoT solutions. For example, some organizations are breaking the supply chain into sub-segments to illuminate operations in one part vs. the entire supply chain. There isn't an offering today that provides end-to-end visibility. By providing complete visibility into a portion of the business, there is immediate ROI today that can eventually translate to an entire business as technology continues to evolve.
Additionally, it's important to identify solutions providers and the right solutions that help the business make smarter business decisions for that part of the supply chain.
A Vision That's Becoming Reality
The vision Kevin Ashton had almost 15 years ago — having the ability to know everything there was to know about things — is very real today. Enterprises positively view a more interconnected world, with some already using IoT technologies and many more with short- and long-term plans to implement solutions.
While we need to consider some of the more practical aspects of IoT, including technical and internal challenges, let's try not to lose the possibilities the Internet of Things will bring to business. This week at CES, technology leaders announced an Internet of Things Consortium to foster and support the growth of Internet-connected devices for consumers. While the focus may be different from tracking tools in a supply chain, these types of initiatives are important to encourage dialogue and collaboration and spur new ideas. By talking about "what if," we can keep our focus on the innovation, and I can't even imagine what other business and societal problems we might solve. The sky's the limit.

Joining Zebra in 2007, Gustafsson is evolving the company from a trusted, reliable manufacturer of barcode printers to one that offers technologies that enable smart operations and supply chain management.

Nickelback Concede That They'll Never Make Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
In a new interview, Nickelback singer Chad Kroeger comes to terms with the fact that his band will probably never be inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame or pick up any Grammys.
Nickelback may be sitting on a pile of platinum records larger than that of most artists in the game today, but they are one of the most intensely detested bands by music critics. After over a decade in the limelight with Nickelback, frontman Chad Kroeger has accepted that his band may never be destined for critical praise.
"We may be dead by then, but I think the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame will probably show up the same time as our first Grammy," Kroeger tells Canada's Post Media News of the band's chances at making it into the hallowed halls of the Cleveland mecca of rock.
Whether they're being publicly skewered by Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney or by Detroit Lions' fans — who gathered about 40,000 signatures in an effort to prevent them from playing the Thanksgiving day halftime show in 2011 — Kroeger has always been a good sport about the criticism garnered by his band. "When the whole thing was going on with the petition and, you know, the NFL was calling us twice a day going, 'Oh, my God, we're so happy," laughs Kroeger. "The viewership just went up by 15 million."
Nickelback have even began shrugging off insults hurled at them on the Internet via their Twitter account. We're just laughing while we do it," reveals Kroeger. "I mean, it's just like when you got guys all sitting around together, you know, we'll hear about something and, you know, we laugh. You know, whoever comes up with the most comedic thing, it's like, `Oh, that's good. We have to tweet that.'"
Nickelback is currently knee-deep in their expansive tour behind their latest release, 'Here and Now,' along with Seether, Bush and fellow Canadians My Darkest Days.

Launch of MetOp-A postponed
After a series of failed launch attempts, the launch of the MetOp-A satellite has been postponed until further notice. The third attempt to launch the satellite onboard a Soyuz/ST launcher was aborted yesterday 3 minutes and 5 seconds before the scheduled lift-off due to a problem with the Soyuz ground support system at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
The satellite and the launch vehicle will be returned to the launcher integration facility, and a new operations plan will be developed to determine the new launch date.
The first launch attempt on Monday, 17 July, was aborted due to an incorrect parameter value on the ground system of the launcher. The error was corrected and verified on a reference platform. The second launch attempt on 18 July failed shortly after the fuelling sequence of the launcher was restarted. Unexpected telemetry readings resulting from the partially fuelled configuration led to this second interruption of the launch sequence.
The full press release is available on the EUMETSAT website.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Littlewood conjecture' tag.
Let be an element of the unit circle, let , and let . We define the (rank one) Bohr set to be the set
where is the distance to the origin in the unit circle (or equivalently, the distance to the nearest integer, after lifting up to ). These sets play an important role in additive combinatorics and in additive number theory. For instance, they arise naturally when applying the circle method, because Bohr sets describe the oscillation of exponential phases such as .
Observe that Bohr sets enjoy the doubling property
thus doubling the Bohr set doubles both the length parameter and the radius parameter . As such, these Bohr sets resemble two-dimensional balls (or boxes). Indeed, one can view as the preimage of the two-dimensional box under the homomorphism .
Another class of finite set with two-dimensional behaviour is the class of (rank two) generalised arithmetic progressions
with and Indeed, we have
and so we see, as with the Bohr set, that doubling the generalised arithmetic progressions doubles the two defining parameters of that progression.
More generally, there is an analogy between rank Bohr sets
and the rank generalised arithmetic progressions
One of the aims of additive combinatorics is to formalise analogies such as the one given above. By using some arguments from the geometry of numbers, for instance, one can show that for any rank Bohr set , there is a rank generalised arithmetic progression for which one has the containments
for some explicit depending only on (in fact one can take ); this is (a slight modification of) Lemma 4.22 of my book with Van Vu.
In the special case when , one can make a significantly more detailed description of the link between rank one Bohr sets and rank two generalised arithmetic progressions, by using the classical theory of continued fractions, which among other things gives a fairly precise formula for the generators and lengths of the generalised arithmetic progression associated to a rank one Bohr set . While this connection is already implicit in the continued fraction literature (for instance, in the classic text of Hardy and Wright), I thought it would be a good exercise to work it out explicitly and write it up, which I will do below the fold.
It is unfortunate that the theory of continued fractions is restricted to the rank one setting (it relies very heavily on the total ordering of one-dimensional sets such as or ). A higher rank version of the theory could potentially help with questions such as the Littlewood conjecture, which remains open despite a substantial amount of effort and partial progress on the problem. At the end of this post I discuss how one can use the rank one theory to rephrase the Littlewood conjecture as a conjecture about a doubly indexed family of rank four progressions, which can be used to heuristically justify why this conjecture should be true, but does not otherwise seem to shed much light on the problem.
The final distinguished lecture series for the academic year here at UCLA is being given this week by Gregory Margulis, who is giving three lectures on "homogeneous dynamics and number theory". In his first lecture, Prof. Margulis surveyed some classical problems in number theory that turn out, rather surprisingly, to have more or less equivalent counterparts in homogeneous dynamics – the theory of dynamical systems on homogeneous spaces .
As usual, any errors in this post are due to my transcription of the talk.

Legend of the road
The Volvo FM has a bold new design. Its soft curves, aerodynamic lines and distinctive grille make quite an impression on the road. It's confident. Likeable. And every inch a Volvo.
It's a friendly, safe and hard-working truck
Exterior Designer, Volvo Trucks
Urban design
It's powerful. Aerodynamic. And built for the road. But the Volvo FM is also at home on city streets. It's less assertive-looking than some of its stable mates. Less tall too. So it's easy for pedestrians, cyclists and car drivers to make eye contact with the driver. And that means happier – and safer – journeys all round.
Part of the family
Re-thought. Re-drawn. Re-shaped. And more familiar than ever. With its aerodynamic lines and V-shaped headlights, the Volvo FM is definitely part of the family. Yet it's retained the characteristics that made the previous model so popular. And judging by the brave new grille – a bit of attitude has been injected too.
360° Exterior overview
Below is an interactive overview of the cab. Click on the text boxes to read more. Click the "Full Screen" for an even better experience. Described features and functions are general and might vary from your specific truck.
Our Cabs
Day cab
Day cab (FM-DAY) with comfortable and ergonomic driver area. Interior height 157 centimetres: 114 centimetres on the engine compartment cover.
Sleeper cab
Sleeper cab (FM-SLP) with comfortable overnight accommodation for one person. Interior height 157 centimetres: 114 centimetres on the engine compartment cover.
Low sleeper cab
Low sleeper cab (FM-LSLP) with lowered roof provides added load space above the cab. Interior height 147 centimetres: 104 centimetres over the engine compartment.
Choose from over 650 colours. All green.
Save time and money by not having to visit a separate paintshop – just have your Volvo cab delivered in the colour you like. Choose from over 650 different hues, tints, and shades. And if you don't find the one you're looking for, we can virtually mix any colour for you. Want a preview? Use the cab colouriser below.
Please note that a computer monitor cannot fully do justice to the colors. To view actual paint samples, please visit your Volvo dealer. Please also note that not all colours are available on all models and markets. The image shows a truck with the highest possible paint level. This colorizer contains all colours available in the sales system. Many of the solid colours are also available with a clear coat layer. If you cannot find your requested colour please contact your Volvo dealer.

It hasn't even been a week and I already desperately miss Jack Donaghy.
"Good God, I can see every line and pore in your face. It looks like a YMCA climbing wall."
And while Tina Fey and the writers were the creative genius behind his acerbic, WASPy insults, the delivery was all Alec Baldwin, who epitomized a charismatic and amoral one percenter.
In interviews, Baldwin is much like Jack: charming and cutting, witty but not try-hard funny. He's also incredibly self-righteous and temperamental and has long had a contentious relationship with the paparazzi, telling one he got into a skirmish with just before his wedding, "I know you got raped by a priest or something." (Source)
How… what… huh? But the man can sling an insult, we all know this. Alec's neighbours say he was incensed that the paparazzi were harassing people in his building, and when Alec's been set off there's no turning back: he was kicked off the plane because he refused to stop playing Words With Friends. He left one of the most infamous voice messages of all time for his daughter, Ireland. (Incidentally, she's now a beautiful teenager and has a very funny Twitter feed. Click here to enjoy it.)
So Alec Baldwin is a hothead who can't stand to be photographed on the sidewalk.
But announcing his baby news on Extra (where his wife Hilaria is a lifestyle correspondent) – that's within the Baldwin realm of acceptability. They even shared the pregnancy test reveal. Something about shouting and her not telling him (because why would you ever tell your husband you bought a pregnancy test? That would just ruin the reveal!). Gender reveal parties were really big for a minute, but I swear we will soon be invited over to our friends' houses for brunch but really to look at their pee sticks.
So thanks to this little interview, we know where they were, what she said, what he said…
What is amazing about someone as smart and droll and painfully self-aware as Alec is that he can say that celebrity is a sham, fame is a joke, and "Actors are treated like suppositories that are inserted into cavities of the movie-going public" and then turn around and appear on Extra to talk about his young wife's pregnancy.
Because while so talented, and so likeable when he wants to be, he's also so completely insulated by celebrity that he can't recognize when he's acting like one.
Yesterday he was on TV talking about his wife's pregnancy, today he'll get into a fight with a paparazzo on the street (I'm trying to think of a Baldwin-worthy insult but I lack the talent) and next week he'll go on Letterman (because Baldwin gives great talk show) and tell a funny anecdote about the whole thing. Sure he looks like a hot-head, but not an asshole.
And the older and more indignant he gets, the more entertaining his little flare-ups are. Yes he's contradictory (hypocritical seems a little heavy) but with so many bland, generic movie stars (especially among the men) who reveal nothing significant and seem to never have any fun, good or bad, he is what so many of them are not – entertaining. When was the last time you were entertained while watching an interview with Tom Cruise or Gerard Butler or Will Smith or Ryan Reynolds? Laughed at their anecdote? Rolled your eyes at their political grandstanding?

The Prefecture of Chania (also spelled Haniá) is the western most division of the island of Crete. The Prefecture of Rethymno forms its eastern border, whilst sea lap its remaining areas. The inhabited islands of Gavdos and Gavdopoula, which are located at a distance of 20 miles south from Chania, in Liviko Sea, also come under Chania.
The major cities of the prefecture are Chania, the capital of the prefecture, and Kastelli in Kisamos. Among the most important villages are Paleochora and Kantanos in Selino, the Chora of Sfakion in Sfakia.
The Prefecture of Chania provides tourist services and activities of all kinds, satisfying all the choices. The city of Chania maintains unaltered all of its characteristics, from the time of the Venetian Rule up until today.
The region of Chania is dominated by the impressive White Mountains (in Greek: Lefká Óri) and its famous National Park, which occupy the largest part of the region.
The White Mountains' National Park, expanding around Samaria Gorge, is the biggest and most imposing gorge in Greece. You need about seven hours to cross it but the rich landscape and rare flora and fauna will definitely reward you. There are also many other smaller gorges for you to hike (Aradaina, Agia Irini, Imbros and Polyrhenia) as well as beautiful walking trails (from Hrysoskalitissa to Elafonissi, from Palaiohóra to Souyiá and from Ayia Rouméli to Hóra Sfakion), which make Chania a beloved destination among nature enthusiasts from all over the world. On the edge of a gloriously scenic turquoise lagoon lies the islet of Elafonissi with its ancient-old Cedar Forest.
Need more action? Go mountaineering on White Mountains (there are 4 shelters), climbing on the amazingly vertical slope of Mt. Gigilos, or canoying down the Kládos, Sapounás and Thérissos gorges.
Turquoise waters lap against the white sandy beaches, that lie to the west of the city: Hrissi Akti, Ayia Marina, Áyioi Apóstoloi, Máleme, Kalathás, Stavrós, Plataniás, Kolympári, Falássarna, Ayia Rouméli, Souyiá, Ammoúdi, Fínikas, Vótsala, Loutró, Áyios Pávlos, Pahiá Ámmos, Fragokástello and Gávdos are only some of the beaches where you can bask in the sun. On the islet of Elafonissi, a beach with crystal clear waters and white sand dunes will take your breath away! The whole area forms part of the NATURA network.
A plethora of religious and cultural festivals take place all year long, inviting both locals and visitors to experience the Cretan way of celebrating. Local products have their own prominent position in Chania's cultural life: participate in the Chestnut Festival in Élos, the Rosewater Festival in Foúrni, or the Wine Festival in Voúves. In May takes place a glorious commemoration of the Battle of Crete in all the municipalities of the region. The Agricultural August is an exhibition of Cretan agricultural products and folklore artefacts. Also, several festivals, conferences or sport events (Venizeleia athletics competition) are organised between May and September, most of which are hosted at a beautiful outdoor theatre located in the east bulwark of the Old Town ("Anatolikí Táfros").
No visit to Chania is complete unless you have sampled traditional local specialties: eggs with stáka, Cretan kalitsoúnia (sweet mini cheese pies), lamb served with spiny chicory, dácos (the traditional hard Cretan bread accompanied with tomato, mizithra cheese and plenty of virgin Cretan oil), snails boubouristí(popping fried snails), haniótiko bouréki (patty from Chania, a vegetable specialty), kserotígana (honey dipped spiral pastries) wedding cookies, dry bread wreaths, yraviéra cheese (full fat sheep's cheese with appellation of controlled origin), sweet smelling anthótyros from Sfakiá (fresh, soft, white cheese made of either sheep's or goat's milk), fresh stáka butter (the cream of the butter) for the Cretan wedding rice (rice cooked in meat broth), roasted goat or sea food delights – special ingredients blended in delicious sea-urchin salads, or divine fish soups! Accompany your dinner with a glass of deep-red Cretan wine, the divine marouvás, or drink after your meal an ice-cold rakí, a traditional Cretan spirit distilled from pomace, with a delicate aroma of ripe grapes.

"Polygender" Eagle Scout Speaks Out About Upcoming Boy Scout Vote
COLUMBIA - The Boy Scouts of America will vote this month on a proposal that would allow gay youth membership, but ban gay adults--a vote that has divided conservatives and liberals, religious and gay groups.
The vote could potentially allow gay scouts to earn their Eagle Scouts award, but have it taken away when they turn eighteen.
The proposal was announced on April 19. The Boy Scouts initially planned on lifting the ban on both gay scout masters and gay members, but conservatives and religious groups objected.
In Columbia, Boy Scouts of America Great Rivers Council executive Doug Callahan said the discussion will continue regardless of how the votes go.
"I doubt it will resolve everything," Callahan said. "The Boy Scouts have been in the largest listening phase or listening process than we've been in our history that started back in February."
Jeffrey Stevens, who is gay, said the proposal is outrageous.
"It's really prejudice," Stevens said. "There's this hidden assumption that grown, gay men are going to molest small children."
A Gallup poll taken in October 2012 indicates 3.4 percent of U.S. adults identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender (LGBT). The poll was taken among 120,000 Americans. The Gallup Poll also indicated younger groups are more likely to identify as LGBT, with 6.4 percent of Americans aged 18 to 29, identifying as LGBT.
The poll also highlights young women as being more open than young men, with 8.3 percent of women and 4.6 percent of men indicating they are LGBT.
For Columbia resident and Kansas City native "Buckey" (who would not give his real name), the vote is not permanent. Buckey has been a Boy Scout ranger and identifies as a poly-gender--a person who is born one gender, but thinks he should be the other gender.
"Regardless of whether or not it passes now, my generation and the generations to come, it's eventually going to pass," Buckey said. "Once my generation starts becoming the upper leadership that makes all these rules, the values will change."
Buckey grew up doing Boy Scouts. He earned the Eagle Scouts honor in Kansas City and worked for two years in New Mexico.
According to the Boy Scouts of America, the Eagle Scouts honor has always been special. Only five percent of all Boy Scouts earn the award.
"One of my fears in coming out and kind of living as trans or poly-gender is that this award that I worked so hard for, the Eagle Scout award, will simply be taken away," Buckey said. "I spent years of my life working for this and I don't want somebody else to be able to say 'No, all of this stuff that you worked so hard for, that you did, means nothing now because you believe this one small thing.'"
Buckey mentioned his childhood leader as being opposed to gays. He said that leader was his biggest mentor despite his open disapproval of gays.
As for Callahan, he said the Boy Scouts of America have a very diverse membership within its Boy Scout troops.
"Seventy percent of our units are represented by various religious organizations and all different kinds of religious organizations are within scouting," Callahan said. "So we have a lot of folks within the scouting program that would support a change in our policy and we have a lot of folks that wouldn't support a change in our policy."
Gallup polls also indicate a higher percentage of Americans do not think the Boy Scouts should allow openly-gay adults to serve as Boy Scout leaders--with 52 percent opposing gay leadership.
Buckey said his fear of coming out strongly exists in his native area of Kansas City.
"There is definitely the possibility that our leaders would say 'No, we don't want your bad influence, we don't want you to contaminate the rest of the scouts," Buckey said. "So get out."
Buckey said he spent eighteen years working for the award. He also said he has considered giving up his award because of the scouts' disapproval.
The vote will face the National Council in Dallas on May 20. If approved, the new policy will take effect on January 1, 2014.

I have owned this for 12 years, It works beautifully. The dial is an amber in color when on, inside the dial it has 4 settings:
Shortwave, Standard Broadcast, Mega Cycles & Kilo Cycles, I have no idea what all those mean and cannot find any info on this piece, I would love to know what year this was made and some history on it. The tag on the inside of the cabinet says Model 211, I have searched the internet with no such luck.

That's enough insanity for one day. I'm giving up and going home.

Pandora plunges on talk of Apple launching rival serviceOctober 25, 2012: 4:06 PM ET
Shares of Pandora plunged nearly 18% Thursday, following a news report that said Apple was planning to launch a rival Internet radio service next year.
Thursday afternoon, Bloomberg reported that talks between Apple and major music labels had intensified recently. Citing people familiar with the situation, Bloomberg said a deal to launch an ad-supported Internet radio service could be reached by mid-November, with a potential launch date sometime during the first quarter of 2013.
The news triggered a single-stock circuit breaker, which is intended to limit violent swings in stock prices. Within five minutes, Pandora's stock resumed trading only to trigger a second circuit breaker just minutes later. The stock started trading again at 3:40 pm ET.
Shares of Pandora (P), which were barely changed for much of the day, ended down 11.7%.
Related: iPad mini launched at Apple event
Earlier this week, Pandora's stock got a boost after Apple executives made no mention of a competing service when they announced the iPad mini and a new lineup of Macintosh computers. Pandora's stock rose 8% that day.
After the closing bell, Apple (AAPL) posted mixed fourth-quarter earnings. The company's forecast for next quarter, however, was a blockbuster. Apple said it expects sales of around $52 billion, up 12% from last year's holiday quarter.

You could create variables like
gen yxmiss = missing(y) - missing(x)
gen long obs = _n
scatter yxmiss obs if missing(y, x)

DETROIT – In May of 2013, the United States Marshal led Detroit Fugitive Apprehension Team (DFAT) netted its 15,000th arrest.
In July of 2004, U.S. Marshal Robert M. Grubbs of the Eastern District of Michigan wanted to begin partnering with local and state law enforcement as well as other federal agencies with the goal of working together to take violent offenders off the street.
"We wanted to partner with other agencies and work together to take the worst of the worst off our streets and protect southeast Michigan communities" commented Grubbs.
The goal was to pool resources, manpower and experience between participating agencies to more efficiently accomplish this task. Local, state and other federal agencies agreed and partnered with the Marshal Service to form DFAT.
Today current members of DFAT are: Michigan State Police, Wayne County Sheriff's Office, Oakland County Sheriff's Office, Macomb County Sheriff's Office, Detroit Police Department, Livonia Police Department, Sterling Heights Police, Dearborn Police Department, Hamtramck Police Department, Michigan Department of Corrections, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, CBP Air and Marine, Flint Police Department and the Michigan Air National Guard. The officers and agents from these agencies work closely with Deputy United States Marshals to accomplish the task force's goal of arresting very dangerous fugitives.
The benefit of pooling resources, manpower and experience was evident from the beginning. In June of 2004 Timothy Berner murdered a Sterling Heights Police Officer, and DFAT worked on the case, eventually making it a United States Marshals Top 15 Most Wanted. Through an intensive manhunt, task force members worked together and tracked Berner to Jacksonville, Florida. Surrounded with no chance of escape, Berner took his own life with the officer's gun.
"I believe it was at this point other agencies saw the benefits of what could be accomplished by working together" commented Grubbs.
DFAT has not only promoted the pooling of resources, manpower and experience, but also the use of the United States Marshals Service's far-reaching authority to bring fugitives to justice back in Michigan.
Like DFAT, other USMS offices have begun task force operations in their states, and even in other countries. These task forces work together in an effective network to track down and arrest dangerous fugitives.
No case exemplifies the reach of USMS task forces like the one of Juan Cruz. Cruz was wanted by the Detroit Police Department for a murder in 1989. DFAT worked with the Marshals Service field office in Mexico City, Mexico. By following developing leads, DFAT arrested Cruz in May of 2012 and brought him back to Michigan to face his charges. DFAT demonstrated that you cannot seek refuge by running to another state or country.
Another example was the recent case of Rocky Marquez. Marquez switched wristbands with another inmate and was erroneously released from the Wayne County Jail in January of 2013. He fled west and DFAT worked with Marshal Service task forces in Arizona, California and Mexico. He was captured in Mexico in February 2013 and is now facing multiple charges.
DFAT is currently working on another U.S. Marshal Top 15 Most Wanted case. Corey Deshawn Gaston is wanted in Michigan by the Detroit Police Department and the U.S. Marshals for failure to appear on the original charges of rape (1st and 2nd degree criminal sexual conduct/person under 13), kidnapping, home invasion, and child enticement. He is also wanted federally for unlawful flight to avoid prosecution.
"With the Adam Walsh Act the Marshals Service has a very strong interest in bringing child sexual predators to justice," said Grubbs. "We captured Gaston once, I am very confident that we will be able to bring him to justice a second time."
In all of its endeavors DFAT has become one of the region's most productive task forces.
"You can see that since its inception in 2004, DFAT's arrests have grown exponentially" commented Grubbs. "We have really built a model of what a task force should be. I can only see it getting larger and becoming more efficient in taking violent offenders off the streets of southeast Michigan. Our main goal is to protect our communities and to keep citizens safe."
Detroit Fugitive Arrest Team Arrests by Year
2004 276
2005 728
2006 1757
2007 1049

2009 1869
2010 1706
2011 1893
2012 2451
2013 1394 (January to present)
The United States Marshals Service is America's oldest federal law enforcement agency.

(CNN) - An endangered Sumatran tiger was mauled to death at the London Zoo on Friday just moments after it was introduced to a potential mate for the first time.
Melati, a female tiger and long-term resident of the zoo, was introduced to male Asim, who had recently been acquired by the zoo. Zookeepers said they hoped that the pair would breed in the future.
The London Zoo acknowledged that while introductions of big cats are always considered "high risk," experts had observed "positive signs" and deemed it to be the "right time" to introduce the pair.
Unfortunately, the interaction quickly became violent.
"Zoo staff did everything they could to try to distract and separate the pair, using loud noises, flares, alarms, water hoses and fire hydrants, but devastatingly Asim had already overpowered Melati," the zoo said in a press release about the incident.
The zoo said a tranquilizer wouldn't have helped because of the difficulty of targeting the right tiger and the time it takes for the drug to take effect.
Asim was also injured in the confrontation, the zoo said.
The Sumatran tiger subspecies is found only on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Fewer than 400 Sumatran tigers exist, the World Wildlife Fund said. Its populations are threatened by poaching and habitat loss.

An easy to read literate spy novel with a sense of humour, this clever little suspense story is full of entertaining twists and turns. It's almost like a spoof, playing on the fact that in the spy world, people seldom know whom they can trust, and must be ready to respond to anything at any time.
George and Charlie, two seemingly normal and average guys, work together in a small photo kiosk in Oxford Circus underground station. All normalcy is left far behind though, when they each discover that the other is not who he first appeared to be. Two friends very quickly become lethal enemies.
Creator of British spy drama Spooks (MI-5 in the US), Wolstencroft knows the spy world and knows how to weave a marvellous tale.

This tent by artist Andre Hasler wins the award for World's Goriest Tent, hands-down. Even people who would normally opt for comfort and protection from the great outdoors would probably opt to sleep outside of it, because it's really too grotesque for words. You could say it's literally a pile of raw, bloody, gunky-looking goo.
Well, that and the fact that it's made from sculpted fiber glass that's coated with wax, because what's the point in freaking yourself out if it isn't comfortable at all? Hit the break for more pics of the tent.
