Chocolate Vanilla Raspberry Dream Cake!
- 1 cup buckwheat flakes (change to nuts if you prefer)
- 8 dates
Chocolate Dream
- 2 cups cashew nuts (soaked)
- 2 bananas (more if desired)
- 8 dates
- 3 big tbl coconut oil
- 1/2-1 cup raw cacao
- 4 tbl agave syryp (or other sweetener)
- 1 tbl vanilla / 1 vanilla pod
Vanilla Spread
- 1 1/2 cups of cashews
- 1/4 cup of water
- 3 tbl coconut oil
- 2 tbl agave syryp
- 1 tbl of vanilla / 1 vanilla bean
- a pinch of salt
Raspberry Cream
- 1 banana
- 1 cup frozen raspberries
- 1 lime
- Homemade peanut butter (optional)
- Raw cacao nibs
Start with making the crust by putting the ingredients in your food processor. Let ig go until you get a nice and crunchy texture. Divide it into your form. Put it in the fridge meanwhile you prepare the rest of the cake.
Now make the Chocolate Dream and put all the ingredients in your mixer. Blend until you get a nice and creamy texture. The more raw cacao you put in the more epic it will be. Cover the crust with your delicious Chocolate Dream paste. Put it in the freezer meanwhile you prepare next layers. Let it rest for at least 30 minutes before spreading next layer on it.
To make your Vanilla Spread simply put all the ingredients except water in your washed mixer. Add as little water as needed to make it smooth. Put it in a bowl and place it in your fridge.
You can make this cake in two ways. Either you want your Raspberry Cream liquid and prepare it when it is time to serve the cake or you make the Raspberry Cream now and add it to the cake and let the cake rest in the freezer unti it is time to serve.
Take out your Chocolate Dream and if decorate it with the peanut butter (optional). Cover the chocolate layer with Vanilla Spread.
Now make your Raspberry Cream by mixing the ingredients in your clean mixer. Spread it carefully over your cake.
Either you eat it directly or put it in your freezer and serve it later. Make sure to take it out a good while before eating, around 20-30 min.

New Osteoporosis Drug in the Making
April 30, 2014
Article's tools:
Warsaw researchers have teamed up with a pharmaceutical retailer to develop a new generic drug for osteoporosis. If the project ends in success, patients with osteoporosis will have a new drug available that will be cheaper than those already on the market, the researchers say.
The new drug is being developed by a consortium established by the Pharmaceutical Research Institute in Warsaw and the Pol-Nil company, a Warsaw-based pharmaceutical retailer. The project has been financed by the National Center for Research and Development (NCBiR). The research consortium hopes to go international with the new drug and is eyeing several European markets.
The drug will contain an active substance known as risedronate sodium that the researchers say will prevent changes in the bones of people affected by osteoporosis. The disease causes a decrease in bone mass and density, thus leading to a high risk of fracture and broken bones. About 30 percent of women over the age of 50 suffer from osteoporosis, accounting for about 80 percent of all those affected. Many of these patients have problems living normal lives even though they are highly qualified and want to continue their professional careers despite their deteriorating physical condition.
Prof. Łukasz Kaczmarek, director of the Pharmaceutical Research Institute, says the new drug will be cheaper than other osteoporosis drugs and will thus help bring about a situation in which more patients will be undergoing treatment. As a result, many patients will no longer be forced to give up their careers and the burden on their family budgets as well as on the government posed by the costs of treatment will be smaller as well, Kaczmarek says.
Both in Poland and throughout the European Union risedronate sodium is used in the treatment of osteoporosis—usually patients receive a weekly dose of 35 milligrams. The Polish researchers plan to introduce a drug with a larger content of the active substance, at 75 milligrams. This will make it possible to reduce the dosage to two pills—taken on two consecutive days—a month. The producer of the original drug, the Sanofi-Avensis company, has registered a 75 mg drug, but has only introduced it on some European markets. The 75 mg drug is unavailable in Poland and several other countries.
"Our project will result in the introduction onto the Polish market of a generic osteoporosis drug that will contain 75 milligrams of risedronate sodium," says Kaczmarek. "This will decrease the treatment costs for both the patient and the government. The lower price of generic drugs is because they do not have to undergo full clinical trials—they contain the same active substance that has already been tested in the past."
The Warsaw researchers have teamed up with the Pol-Nil company to develop the new drug. After Pol-Nil financed the laboratory tests with its own funds, the National Center for Research and Development provided more than zl.2.2 million for further research.
The detailed concept for the project was drawn up by Pol-Nil and the Pharmaceutical Research Institute. The research team is made up of process engineers and analysts from Pol-Nil and researchers from the Pharmaceutical Research Institute—more than a dozen people in all, in addition to the CEO of Pol-Nil, Marek Rafałowski. The MTZ Clinical Research center supports the consortium.
The safety and effectiveness of a generic drug must be confirmed by numerous tests. The most important of these is a bioequivalence test. It is based on comparing two products: the original drug, which had been put on the market with full clinical documentation, and a generic drug—a counterpart with comparable performance characteristics. The Pharmaceutical Research Institute's Department of Pharmacology has been conducting bioequivalence tests for several decades. More than 10 years ago it obtained a Good Laboratory Practice Certificate in this area.
If a generic drug passes the Pharmaceutical Research Institute test it can enter the market. Thanks to this, full clinical tests—which take a long time and cost a lot of money—are not necessary. Some tests, however, need to be conducted in order to measure factors such as the concentration of the drug in the blood.
Usually, a test group consists of about 30 healthy volunteers. However, in the case of the osteoporosis drug, more than 100 people were needed because of the fluctuating degree of assimilation of the active substance.
The costs and risk related to research are a major barrier for a drug before it can enter the market. If it wasn't for financial support from public funds, the project could probably not be carried out. "It's unlikely that other pharmaceutical companies are working on a similar drug. But R&D work is confidential, so we cannot rule out that large companies are in fact working on such a generic drug," says Kaczmarek.
The application received high ratings from the National Center for Research and Development on all counts. Supporting Polish business initiatives, particularly those undertaken by small and medium-sized enterprises, is in the interests of the Polish economy in terms of increasing its international competitiveness. That was also the main aim of the European Union's Innovative Economy 2007-2013 program, which was the source of funds for the research consortium and which were disbursed by the NCBiR.
The project is being carried out according to plan. The paperwork has been taken care of and clinical tests are under way. Soon the researchers plan to analyze the concentration of risedronate in samples of human plasma.
The process of preparing samples for analysis is complex because it involves the use of a highly toxic reagent. That is why the analysis procedure requires special protection measures for staff.
The risedronate concentration must be determined with an accuracy of less than one nanogram—one billionth of a gram—per milliliter. This can be compared to 50 drops of water in an Olympic-size swimming pool. In order to achieve the necessary level of precision, the tests require the use of a hi-tech analytical technique—mass spectrometry combined with high-performance liquid chromatography.
The project is due to end in the second half of this year. If the market entry process goes smoothly, the drug will be available in drugstores two to three years from now. The method developed by the consortium during work on the new generic drug will be submitted for patenting with the patent office.
According to experts, demand for 75-milligram risedronate is high. Several producers and distributors have voiced interest in obtaining the license and putting the drug on selected European markets.

Settlement patterns
Economic policies imposed during the Soviet era brought significant changes to both the countryside and cities. The pace of urbanization was dramatic, in part because Moldova was the least urban of all the Soviet republics. Industrialization spurred the growth of large and small cities in every part of the republic, but nowhere more so than in the capital, Chișinău, the economic, administrative, and cultural centre of the republic. The collectivization of agriculture during the Soviet period concentrated population in large villages, most of which have between 1,000 and 5,000 inhabitants. As villages assumed new economic and administrative functions, they became more modern in level of comfort and in the public services they could provide.
After independence the population of Moldova became even more urban as the movement from the countryside to the cities became continuous. At that time ethnic Moldovans were relative newcomers to the cities, and in the early 21st century they accounted for only about one-third of all urban inhabitants. The majority of the remainder of ethnic Moldovans reside in the rural areas in the centre and north of the republic. A majority of the Ukrainian population lives in urban centres, with approximately one-fourth of them living in the eastern section of the breakaway region of Moldova known as Transdniestria (Transnistria; Pridnestrovie), which is located on the east bank of the Dniester River. Russians constitute about one-fourth of Moldova's urban population, but thousands of them have resettled in Transdniestria.
Demographic trends
During the 1960s the population of the republic grew rapidly; however, starting in 1970 it increased at a steady but slower rate. Since independence, though, Moldova's population has decreased, largely owing to the emigration of Moldovans seeking economic opportunities elsewhere and to the virtual end of immigration from Russia and Ukraine, which had contributed to earlier population growth. Moreover, a sharp decline in the standard of living and in the quality and availability of public health and medical facilities in the early 1990s lowered life expectancy. Infant mortality and insufficient health care, especially in rural areas, were serious problems. The number of stillbirths and infant deaths, which had fallen significantly from the early 1970s to the early 1980s, rose in the late 1980s and remained high throughout the early 2000s. Although Moldova's birth rate remains low compared with the world average, it is higher than that of nearby Romania, Ukraine, and Russia.
During the communist era a diversified industry was established in Moldova, agriculture was modernized, and transport and the building industry were overhauled. Following independence, the government began the gradual transformation from a command (centrally planned) to a market economy, establishing a program to privatize many state enterprises primarily through distribution of ownership vouchers to the public. The transition has been slow and uneven because of corruption, lack of foreign investment, and other economic pressures. In the early 21st century Moldova was among the poorest countries in Europe.

RRCA Roads Scholar Wins Big Sur Half Marathon
A Family Affair at Big Sur Half Marathon on Monterey Bay as Husband-Wife Team Take Top Honors at 10th Presentation
A husband-wife duo took top honors at the Big Sur Half Marathon on Monterey Bay today on the Monterey Peninsula (an RRCA Runner Friendly Community). Arizonans Ben Bruce and his wife of only two weeks, Stephanie Rothstein-Bruce (RRCA Roads Scholar Class - 2009), packed a one-two punch to beat out a strong elite field under sunny skies and near perfect running conditions. Among the last elites to register just one month ago, the Bruce's were the first to finish their respective divisions. Ben won the men's race in 1:04:45 and Stephanie won the women's race in 1:12:19.
The men's race took shape quickly as a lead pack of five runners broke away from the rest of the field. Ben Bruce, Samuel Kosgei, Santa Fe, NM, Fred Tumbo, Santa Fe, NM, Joseph Mutinda, Santa Fe, NM, and Ryan Bak, Bend, OR, ran together most of the first seven miles. A 4:52 first mile gave this group of five a huge lead over Eddie Jones, Boise, ID, who was alone in 6th with no other runners in sight. Just prior to the turn-around point between miles 7 and 8, Bruce made a move and none of the others were able to respond. Running three consecutive miles under 4:50, he opened a 30 second lead by mile 10. The three members of the AmeriKenyan Running Club, Kosgei, Tumbo, and Mutinda ran in a pack of three but were unable to close the gap between themselves and Bruce.

4th International Cloud Expo Photo Album on Ulitzer
The past month has seen an unprecedented concentration of Cloud-related articles, events, tweets, and - above all - product launches, partnership announcements and M&A moves. So is Cloud Computing, after three years, finally coming to the boil? Here, by way of allowing you to judge for yourself, SYS-CON's Cloud Computing Journal brings you a timeline of the trajectory of the Cloud so far.
Jeff Bezos' Risky Bet - BusinessWeek publishes a cover article on Amazon's "Elastic Compute Cloud" (EC2) - a totally new on-demand, pay-as-you-go storage and computing service launched earlier that year, in August 2006. [From the article: "Bezos wants Amazon to run your business, at least the messy technical and logistical parts of it, using those same technologies and operations that power his $10 billion online store. In the process, Bezos aims to transform Amazon into a kindIBM (NYSE: IBM) unveiled plans for "Blue Cloud," a series of cloud computing offerings that will allow corporate data centers to operate more like the Internet by enabling computing across a distributed, globally accessible fabric of resources, rather than on local machines or remote server farms."]

We certainly live in interesting technological times. And no more interesting than the current competing IoT standards for connectivity. Various standards bodies, approaches, and ecosystems are vying for mindshare and positioning for a competitive edge. It is clear that when the dust settles, we will have new protocols, evolved protocols, that will change the way we interact with devices and infrastructure. We will also have evolved web protocols, like HTTP/2, that will be changing the very core of our infrastructures. At the same time, we have old approaches made new again like micro-services...

A Bit About Martha
About Martha Abbey Miller:
Though proud to call Westlake Village, California, home, Martha grew up in Minneapolis. A liberal arts degree from the University of Minnesota and an MBA from Avila University in Kansas City, Missouri, set the foundation for her successful career as a communications manager of global companies such as Hewlett-Packard. Martha retired in 2007 to devote her energies to writing, church, and community. Along the way, she more or less invented, accidentally, a second career as a dramatist.
Martha researches, writes, and performs one-woman shows, giving audiences a unique look at fascinating historical figures. Last year, she began her first book, the biography of Frances Landers, who left an incalculable legacy, ending illiteracy for thousands of children in the mountains of Haiti. As she performs her shows and writes her book, Martha increasingly is being asked to be a motivational speaker, helping others find - or rediscover - their passions.
Martha fills her time by volunteering at the local library, leading a weekly mentoring group for middle school girls, and doing mission work locally and in Haiti.
Above all, Martha delights in blending her passions and perspectives to enrich the lives of others.

The Buffalo Sabres have been a mess this season. They have had a complete front office change, and the on ice product is the worst in the NHL. But, it seems they are happy with Interim Head Coach Ted Nolan. Multiple media outlets have reported that Nolan and the Sabres are in the final stages of a three-year extension.
Ted Nolan's three-year contract extension with BUF in hands of lawyers. Contract language still being finalized. Not "done" quite yet.
— Bob McKenzie (@TSNBobMcKenzie) March 17, 2014
While Nolan's record this season is not much of an improvement; the team has shown they are willing to work for Nolan. So far this season the Sabres are 15-26-7 with Nolan behind the bench. It seems that if the report is correct Nolan will be the man in charge of turning this young team into a playoff contender. For Nolan this is truly coming full-circle. He was the Head Coach of the Sabres from 1995-1997.
Currently the Sabres are sitting in last place in the NHL, with little hope of moving out of the basement. I think having Nolan behind the bench is a two-fold move by the Sabres. The fans in Buffalo love they guy, and there are some players on the current roster that love playing for him. Moving into the future, Nolan will become the hero or the goat. But, for the time being the Buffalo Sabres have a coach that will not tolerate players taking nights off.

15. Bode Miller—Ranks second in people we'd like to party with at Derby (top honor goes to Kate Upton).
14. Lindsey Vonn—Would've ranked higher if it were a Winter Olympics year, but alas downhill skiing has another two years before we care about it again.
13. David Arquette—Any respect I had for him after his post-breakup calls to Howard Stern, bemoaning his lack of a sex life with ex-wife Courteney Cox, was lost when he signed on to Dancing with the Stars (possibly the only venue with a more liberal interpretation of celebrity than Derby).
12. Fred Willard—The most hotly debated ranking on the list amongst my colleagues. But do you know how much he can bench press? Truly among the best in this show.
11. Ice T—Crafted one of the all-time greatest Tweets.
10. Darryl McDaniels—It doesn't matter that he's a Derby staple who hasn't done much of note in the last decade. He's D.M.C. and I was a suburban white kid in the 1980s. "How'd ya do it Dee?"

7. Aaron Rodgers—AP Male Athlete of the Year in 2011, which isn't that far off from 2012.
6. Andre Agassi—Behind his wife, but hopefully he enjoys that view.
5. Steffi Graf—Possibly the best player ever in her sport, but alas that sport is women's tennis.
4. Kellan Lutz—A normally frigid female colleague yelled out, "I would tap his Twilight ass!" when she heard he was coming.
3. Kate Upton—Does the 2011 and 2012 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model merit this high a ranking? I had to Google her to find out who she was, so I might just be overcompensating (or trying not to catch gay).
2. Tom Brady—Giselle's dress-up doll is well versed in finishing a close second (please don't yell at me Gisselle).

There is a gap of 6 yrs betwqeen me & my sister. People call my parents as "too patient" for keeping such a gap. If they haven't undergone any permanent method(tubectomy/vasectomy) then how they might have delayed the pregnancy?
asked Nov 27 '13 at 06:57 elite_muslim 10●1●2
not sure about muslims, but the catholics claim the rythum method is effective. and coitus interruptus is allowed on newly accuired war booty. don't know if it's allowed with husband and wife?
(Nov 27 '13 at 11:27) mikejm4
Salaam dear brother / sister, I am wondering why you do not take the direct approach and ask your parents, as there is nothing wrong in seeking knowledge about something which is pertaining to life and will help you become better informed.
To answer your question, there is nothing specific to be found in the Quran or the Sunnah which prohibits use of contraceptives for Muslims.
Allah subhanahu Wa ta' ala says:
"Do not say falsely, 'this is lawful and that is prohibited', inventing a lie about Allah..." (Qur'an 16:116)
The ideas some people hold on the "intervention" of contraception with the destiny of Allah, is incorrect. The 'destiny of Allah' is a predetermination of every event and every human being to appear on earth from the beginning of time till the end of time - since Allah knows and controls all events. The use of contraception is also part of Allah's pre-determined sequence of events. Therefore, family planning as a result of the use of contraception is part of Allah's destiny and does not change what was destined by Allah. Contraception should be perceived as yet another blessing of Allah to human beings, and something to thank Allah by.
Thus, contraception is permitted if the husband and wife agree, as there is nothing in the Qur'an or Sunna to prohibit it; rather, the hadiths and practice of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) indicate permissibility.
It is not permitted to engage in contraception without the agreement of the spouse--for both husband and wife.
Contemporary forms of contraception, whether used by the husband or the wife, are akin to azl (withdrawai) mentioned in the hadiths, as is explicitly understood from the words of the Hanafi and other schools. Rather, they are superior, more natural, and less harmful.
It is not permitted to use irreversible contraception--such as sterilization.
And Allah knows best.
answered Nov 30 '13 at 09:27 stronghold ♦ 528●7
Salam bother, I was doing about this contraception thing in my school. My RE teacher say that condom is allowed in Salam becaus it will Provent people from STI or brighing unwanted child to this world because you are not ready to have a child, and she said that other kind of contraception is forbidden because it has chemical somer which then Change your body chemical and etc....plz correct me if I am wrong.
(Nov 30 '13 at 09:35) Bibi Amina ♦
Salam Bibi, I looked at numerous websites and making sur these are dependable sources so my response is based on a range of references. You are right that some forms of contraceptives are more chemical based such as the oral pill (hormone based) but in addition, there are coils and other options which do not have this. However, there was no mention of the pill being excluded, thus I did not make a special reference to it. But yes, the pill has been associated with possibly higher risk of cancer. I'm glad you brought it up. Salam
(Nov 30 '13 at 09:59) stronghold ♦
1) Permanent Contraception Any permanent form of contraception such as permanent sterilisation, the removal of ovaries, vasectomy etc is not permissible unless there is a risk of serious illness or death if it is not performed. The reasons for this are as follows:
A person is taking an unnecessary risk to their health by having such an operation or procedure.
A person is permanently changing the nature of the body from what Allah has created.
A person is taking away the right of any future husband or wife to have a say in whether a couple should try for children or not. Whilst the person may, in their current situation, choose not to have any more children, if their marriage were to break down or they were widowed and if they chose to remarry then their new partner has a right to a say in any future children they may or may not want.
2) Temporary/Reversible Contraception
Temporary contraception where it does not contradict the Shariah is permissible as long as both partners agree. It was a common practice of the companions of the Prophet (May Allah bless him and grant him peace) to perform 'Coitus Interruptus' (also know as `azl), meaning to withdraw from their partner just before ejaculation. Therefore, this was a form of temporary contraception.
Sayyiduna Jabir ibn Abd Allah (Allah be pleased with him relates that, "We used to engage in contraception (`azl) while the Qur'an was being revealed. Had it been something that was interdicted, the Qur'an would have forbidden it." [Bukhari (5209); Muslim (4220)]
Other Types Of Temporary Contraception Allowed:
Please note permission must be obtained by both husband and wife before these are used.
Condoms – These are permissible and can be used without any problems.
Pill/Injection – The use of the contraceptive pill for the purpose of contraception is also permissible. Scholars have advised that it should not be used just to 'delay' the period because of Ramadhan or Hajj etc.
Coil – This should be avoided as it involves the insertion of the coil into the female private parts.
Sheath – Also should be avoided due to the same reason as the coil.

salam. We wr using coils.after sometime there ws an infection in the womb. It caused high scale pus. My spouse felt inflamation and pain in the whole body.the matter got complicated and she hd to undergo a major surgery. By the grace of Allah swt she recovered and now we are extra cautious in this regard
1) they might not have deliberately delayed it. It is perfectly possible for someone to not conceive for a long period of time. People sometimes marry and it takes 10-20 years of trying before they finally have a child, and even then, they may never have another. it is perfectly possible that your parents were trying but Allah had decreed that another child should not be born, so it wasnt.
2) they were using temporary contraception like condoms
3) they were doing coitus interruptus - where the male pulls out of the female organ just before ejaculation.

HELENA, Mont. – The Carroll College cross country teams take on their biggest challenge to date when they travel to Orange, Calif., for the Biola NAIA West Coast Jamboree, Saturday.
Sixteen teams compete in the meet, including six ranked women's teams and five ranked men's teams. The race is held at the Irvine Regional Park.
The Saints women are ranked ninth and the men are ranked 18th in the latest NAIA Cross Country Coaches' Top 25 Poll which was released Wednesday.
David Thor leads the Saints men. In his last outing he placed third in the Montana Invitational, defeating the top runners from The University of Montana and Gonzaga.
Leah Esposito is the top runner on the women's side. She was the top small school runner in each of the last two meets.
The meet is the only competition outside of Montana for the Saints prior to nationals and it is an opportunity to see how Carroll stacks up nationally.
HELENA, Mont. – The Carroll College men's cross country team jumped four spots in the weekly NAIA Cross Country Coaches Poll after a strong performance at the University of Montana Invitational.
David Thor took fourth overall at UM to lead the Saints to a higher finish than Division I Montana and No. 17 College of Idaho.
The Saints overtook C of I and moved from 19 to 15 in the rankings.
The Carroll women also performed well in Missoula. Leah Esposito earned Frontier Conference Runner of the Week honors for her ninth place finish at UM.
Despite the strong performance, the Saint women fell one spot from fifth to sixth.
The Saints run again on the weekend of Oct. 24-25. The top runners will head to Biola University (Calif.) for an elite event on Saturday, Oct. 25. The rest of the team runs at the University of Great Falls on Friday, Oct. 24.
HELENA, Mont. – Carroll College harrier Leah Esposito was named the Frontier Conference Women's Cross Country Runner of the Week.
The sophomore from Helena, Mont., finished ninth out of 71 runners at the Montana Invitational with a time of 17:57 in the 5K. Esposito recorded the fastest time of the small schools participating.
MISSOULA, Mont. – David Thor took fourth overall and first in the small school division to lead the Carroll College cross country team to the small school championship and a victory over the University of Montana at the Montana Invitation at the University Golf Course in Missoula Saturday morning.
Thor was the highest finisher for the men and finished with an eight kilometer time of 25:19.73, ahead of the top finishers from Montana and Gonzaga.
Lyle Pocha also finished in the top ten with a time of 25:35.82, which was good enough for eighth place.
The Saints finished in fourth place overall with a cumulative place of 96; 23 places better than the College of Idaho and 27 places better than the Grizzlies.
The Carroll women were paced by Leah Esposito who finished in ninth place overall with a five kilometer time of 17:57.06. The time was the top time among the small schools competing.
The Saints took fifth overall with a cumulative place of 131.
Carroll next runs at the Great Falls Invitational on Oct. 24.

Matt Kindt Comes One Step Closer to Total Comic Industry Domination (UPDATED w/ Map)
- Written by ThanosCopter on Monday, August 05 2013 and posted in News with Benefits
Source: Comics Beat
Valiant has announced that Matt Kindt will be writing Unity, a crossover event series featuring characters such as Ninjak, the Eternal Warrior and X-O Manowar. Joining him will be Doug Braithwaite on pencils and Brian Reber on colors. The crossover event is Valiant's first line wide crossover since relaunching last year and marks the latest step in Kindt's attempt to completely take over the comic industry.
Here's a quote from Valiant editor Warren Simons describing the event, which centers on X-O Manowar attempting to conquer Romania.
There's a reason Valiant never had a team like this throughout its history — these characters aren't friends. They don't hang out in the penthouse of a high-rise waiting for the Valiant-phone to alert them to trouble. These are hard men and women. They're dangerous and a lot of them are killers, and putting them in a room together is a violent proposition.
Toyo Harada — a child of the bomb — has dedicated his life to achieving peace by any means necessary. He will not view X-O Manowar trying to conquer Romania — which is an event at the heart of Unity— as a good thing. And neither will the Russians.
With Kindt writing books for Marvel, DC, Valiant and Dark Horse, it appears that the writer is strategically positioning himself to strike on multiple fronts at once, hoping to conquer a vulnerable comic industry with one mighty blow. However, Kindt denied the claims in an exclusive interview with the Outhouse.
"I'm not trying to take over the comic industry," Kindt said, while leading an army of thousands towards New York City. "And if I was, I probably wouldn't announce my intentions to a comic book website read by hundreds."
"I actually am trying to conquer the comic industry," he whispered. "Just don't tell anybody."
A hawk suddenly flew down and landed on his outstretched arm. "Now, I must be away. I have a meeting with Joe Quesada and Dan Didio so that they might offer me tribute in exchange for their lives." He galloped off on a mighty horse, followed closely by his bodyguards.
We expect to report on the announcements of Kindt writing Forever Evil, Infinity and Image United later today.
UPDATE: The Outhouse has uncovered a chart detailing Kindt's rise to prominence in the comic book industry:
Obviously, the entire industry should be terrified.

Bi-facial does remove makeup decently. The bottle design is also pretty good as the top is unlikely to leak. The removing solution itself is incredibly oily, which my dry/sensitive skin does not need. The price tag is also extreme -- $28! I'll use up the bottle so I won't have wasted the money, but it was so not worth that price. I don't recommend this unless you are desperate for a remover that isn't 100% crap and you have deep pockets to cover the cost...
It's a really good eye make up remover but quite pricy.. I found a cheaper option from Nivea..
It is great at removing makeup but it's just to oily and expensive! I hate having to shake it up too. The exact same thing can be found at the drugstore for a much lower price.

I love this eye makeup remover. I love the pretty blue colour and shaking it up! I just soak a cotton pad with it and press over my eyes. It doesn't feel oily on my lids and is effective at removing eyelash primer, black mascara and eyeliner. Very happy with this product and will buy again.
I have had this for a long time. I received as a sample with other Lancôme purchase. I use to remove heavy eyeliner and mascara and gel waterproof eyeliner (which is tenacious). I am almost running out so I may repurchase but I understand it is expensive. I love it! I wear contacts and no issues even though it is oil-based. It has been a staple so I decided to review.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Absolutely brilliant. I wear quite heavy makeup on a day-to-day basis (i.e. strong foundation, concealer, eye shadow, thick black eyeliner, mascara, blusher) but feels great to use this at the end of the day as it removes everything completely. I would need 3-4 cotton pads to remove all my make up completely using this product, so what I do first is use a makeup wipe to clean off most of it, then use Bi-Facil to remove the excess/remains of make up. I used to get panda eyes in the morning as my eye make up would never come off properly! but now that I use this, I don't have any make up left on my face and no issues with excess make up in the morning. A must have

Got it from a friend, and it works really well, takes a lot to get it off but it works
this is such a great remover!!! it seriously removes everything. i like makeup removers that have an oliy residue because it tends to remove the makeup better and this is soo perfect for me because its not very oily and doesnt sting at all!! i wear gel eyeliner most of the times and it seriously removes everything in one swipe! it is expensive for a makeup remover but its definately worth the price
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I had used this for over 20 years as if on auto pilot. Nothing but Bifacil ever did much for me. Low on makeup remover, march myself to the nearest Lancome counter and pick up a new one. ( And fire up my credit card on other goodies while I was at it) It removed everything in a far superior manner to anything I had ever tried but it stings a bit when I get a little oil in my eyes from it ( especially toward the end of the bottle) but it was gone in a minute. Now I am a die hard Sonia Kushak eye remover gal. ( Thank you Makeup Alley!!! ) SK is better and cheaper for sensitive eyes.It is not too oily and not drying at all. I am only reviewing this because I received a sample bottle of it with a recent purchase and tried it again. Nope, I am done purchasing Bi Facil when I get better results with a drugstore brand at a cheaper price...but it is your wallet...do with it as you like!
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
The best. Neutrogena and Sonia Kashuk have eye makeup removers comparable to this, so I doubt I will re-purchase when it's gone. Money is the only downside to this product. Also, it may irritate your eye if you don't wash it out as soon as you remove makeup. The packaging is beautiful.
VERDICT: Will not repurchase because jojoba oil is cheaper, just as effective, and moisturizes/strengthens my lashes while removing. Easy choice for me.

With the Heat playing some of their best basketball of the season, they are a lock to win their 4th straight Southeast Division title. Beyond that, they will undoubtably claim the 1st or 2nd overall seed in the Eastern Conference. By doing so, the Heat are likely to square off against the Charlotte Bobcats or Atlanta Hawks in the quarterfinal round. Statistical chances of the Pistons, Cavaliers, or Knicks making a run for the playoffs still exist, but are incredibly unlikely.
While Heat playoffs tickets are already available on the secondary market, prices may change depending on the first round opponent. Last year, opening round tickets for the 2 games vs the Bucks at the American Airlines Arena commanded a resale price of $257, with cheapest ticket for either game being $62. Thus far, the average asking price for opening round tickets is $366 and cheapest available seat an even $100.
The Heat's regular season average price is $230. Games against the Hawks come at a 22% below that average, and games vs the Bobcats 27% below. With each regular season series being significantly below the regular season average, we can speculate Heat playoff tickets prices will fall by similar lengths. A 25% price drop will place the average price of tickets at $274. With the Heat expected to come across a stronger squad such as Brooklyn or Chicago in the second round, the opening sound will in all likelihood be the cheapest opportunity to catch playoff basketball in South Beach.

In Feng Shui, sharp edges pointed straight at you are considered Sha Chi — poison arrows directing dangerous energy your way. Some people will try to tell you that book spines fall in this category. Not true.
Reasoning#1 — If books were dangerous, all dorm rooms would be dagger dungeons and feel terrible. Obviously that's not true. Some rooms end up feeling pretty icky (for other reasons involving corn chips and socks!), but plenty of dorm rooms are beloved sanctuaries and NOT just the ones where the residents are book-less, drape covers over their bookshelves at night, or keep their belongings on the floor!
Reasoning #2 — Book spines aren't really sharp edges. Poison arrows are more like the edges of a triangle — sharp. Books are fatter and their spines are actually rounded.
Reasoning #3 — Books hold a highly treasured place in Feng Shui. They contain wisdom and joy. They are solid, trusted anchors.
That said, here are some practices that will enhance your books' impact on the energy of your room:
- Do not place books immediately near the head of your bed lest all those words and ideas rumbling around disturb your sleep.
The thing is, a lot of college students read in bed! It's your couch/armchair/bed all in one. And it's hard to get up and stow your book somewhere else as you pleasantly drift off into slumberland.
- If you have a drawer next to your head, keep it empty and reserved for the books you're actively reading.
- If not, invest in a rolling cart and use its drawers for that purpose. [No, we do not own stock in rolling cart companies! Yes, we recommend them for so many dormitory Feng Shui issues.]
- If there's no room for a cart at all, toss an extra pillow or throw blanket over your books before you nod off.
- Display only books you like.
Any objects associated with unpleasantness have no place in your room. Truly! If you have an Econ. book that you MUST use, keep it in a drawer.
No offense intended. Some of our best friends are Econ. majors:)
- Put books in the Northeast corner of any space. The Northeast (Small Earth) is home of self-knowledge, including study and meditation.
You may not be able to move your bookshelves, but you can always stack books on the northeast corner of both your desk and your dresser (no matter where those pieces of furniture are in your room). Remember you can superimpose a bagua map on ANY SPACE — including the top of your desk or dresser — and use it to enhance your life. If all your books fit there, maybe you'll use your shelves for other purposes — folded tees for example. Or a tidy display of your shoes or bags.
- Try to keep books out of the straight-up-North part of your space.
Don't store books in the northern "sector" of your desk or dresser.
Remember — Your primary Feng Shui space in the dorm is YOUR HALF of the room. So don't worry if your roommate's books are in the northern part of the overall room — just tend to your half as that's what will influence you.
>>If you really dislike the way your roommate's books or bookshelves (or anything else) are directed, screen the effect. Best bet (other than the rolling cart which you KNOW we have to mention): hanging a crystal with fishing line and a thumbtack from your ceiling. Preferably in the middle of the room. <<
If your shelves are on the northern side of your half of the room, it's best to move your books to a creative new location. Use your dresser drawers as library and your shelves for your clothes. (Well maybe not your private coverings — we don't want your Mom emailing us after Parents Weekend, ok?)
So don't abandon books. Not only do they help you by embodying and symbolizing a main focus of college (i.e. knowledge! Social life's up there too, we know, and we'll cover that in another post!) but also books will ground you in a way you'll treasure during this exciting roller coaster ride that is college. Kindles, iPads, and computers are nice, but books are your friends — always — and especially now.

Liberal Bill Scher and conservative Matt Lewis meet in the rancor-free DMZ to hash out the week's political events.
|fast audio
On The DMZ, Matt laments that kids these days are ignorant of the glories of '80s pop culture, and explains how movies like Red Dawn shaped Gen Xers' politics. So why has today's Hollywood abandoned appealing to conservatives? Bill argues that Rand Paul is playing loose with the facts and thus hurting his attempt to rebrand the GOP. Has 2016 reporting gotten out of control? They analyze the new Mother Jones story on New Mexico Gov. Susana Martinez that used leaked audio of private conversations to paint her as the next Sarah Palin. Plus: How should politicians navigate a privacy-free world?
Bill welcomes Matt back to The DMZ. Why have conservatives embraced Uber? Is technology destroying traditional retail, and is that a bad thing? Are dynasties like the Bushes and the Clintons a threat to democracy? What about the fact that every Supreme Court justice is an Ivy Leaguer? Plus: Matt defends the right of private businesses not to participate in gay weddings.
On The DMZ, guest-host Justin makes the case for Paul Ryan's new budget. Is Ryan secretly hoping that Obamacare works? Bill and Justin debate the meaning of the Affordable Care Act's seven million sign-ups. Bill condemns, and Justin defends, Ezra Klein's highly critical reporting on Healthcare.gov's early failures. Is balancing the budget without raising taxes the conservative version of the left's dream of single-payer health care? Plus: Is Ryan alienating the middle or shrewdly moving the "Overton window"?
On The DMZ, Bill and special guest Conn discuss the great Nate Silver/Paul Krugman schism. Conn plugs his new Kickstarter, Federal Baseball. Are the Democrats in serious trouble in the 2014 midterms? They consider Thomas Edsall's critique of the Democratic Party as polarized between corporate and populist wings, and compare how blue states and red states spend federal money. Plus: Harry Reid's crusade against the Koch brothers.
On The DMZ, Bill and special guest Justin discuss whether Democrats and Republicans can find common ground on Russia and Iran. Was Romney right about Russia being America's number one political foe? Bill argues that Putin's Russia should inspire liberals to embrace American exceptionalism, and Justin explores whether the libertarian wing of the GOP still does. How would Rand Paul's foreign policy positions play in the 2016 GOP primaries? Is Hillary Clinton running for president as a hawk? Is Paul Ryan's outreach on poverty and race going to convince anyone?
On The DMZ, Bill and Matt discuss the GOP special election victory in Florida and whether Obamacare has become a liability for Democrats. They evaluate Obama's decision to appear on Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis. What if Chris Christie had decided to play Bridgegate for laughs? Is CPAC good for potential Republican presidential candidates? Was this year's conference good for Ted Cruz, and is he a threat to Rand Paul? And what were the other big stories out of CPAC?
On The DMZ: Has Mitt Romney been proven right about Russia? Has the Ukraine crisis exposed Obama's weakness? Have conservatives rediscovered interventionism—or are they attracted to Putin? Does the crisis rekindle Rubio's 2016 hopes, or does Rand Paul's isolationism hold sway with primary voters? Did the GOP establishment strike back against Tea Partiers in the Texas primaries? Plus: How CPAC is like show business.
On The DMZ: McKay Coppins's caustic profile of Donald Trump causes a stir. Matt is impressed that Coppins didn't allow himself to be seduced by Trump. Bill argues that Bridgegate proves that MSNBC is now better than Fox News at pushing scandal narratives, but Matt wonders whether this is about anything beyond ratings. Matt makes the conservative case against a higher minimum wage, and Bill wonders whether the CBO report means that a deal to raise the minimum wage is now impossible.
On The DMZ, Bill and Matt react to NFL prospect Michael Sam's decision to come out of the closet. Are the debt ceiling wars finally over? Is immigration reform alive? Why is the Tea Party out to get Mitch McConnell? Plus: Is Chris Christie back with a defense of income inequality?
On The DMZ, post-game analysis of the boring Super Bowl leads Bill to wonder why we watch sports at all. Bill suggests that Mike Huckabee's lead in 2016 GOP polls shows that conservatives are obsessed with fighting political correctness. Why are Democrats better at keeping internal discipline? Matt and Bill review the risks and rewards for Hillary Clinton in riding the recent wave of '90s nostalgia. Could Republicans succeed by using economic populism against Clinton? Plus: Matt thinks the CBO's new findings on Obamacare and employment are more of a mixed bag than either side will admit.
On The DMZ, Bill and Matt make their Super Bowl predictions and discuss the Richard Sherman phenomenon. They then turn to new 2016 polling showing Christie down and Ryan and Walker up. Should the GOP take the lead on issues like immigration reform, or is doing nothing a viable strategy? Would legalization alone settle the immigration question, or are Democrats right to press for citizenship? Matt praises Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers, who gave the GOP response to the State of the Union. Plus: Is Reince Priebus's proposed boycott of MSNBC over an offensive tweet justified?
On The DMZ: Can Ezra Klein create an independent, high-brow news site that succeeds financially? Bill and Matt analyze Glenn Beck's apology for "helping tear the country apart." Should Beck be welcomed back into polite society? Why did former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell, indicted this week, throw away his career? Bill notes that President Obama managed to rise through Chicago politics untainted by corruption. Was McDonnell's sin striving to rise from humble beginnings?

(9 zeros)
| Eine Billion
(12 zeros)
| One billion
(12 zeros)
| One trillion
(12 zeros)
During the last two centuries there was a difference between American and UK understanding of the term "billion". In the UK the "long scale" numerical system defined one billion as 1,000,000 x 1,000,000 = 1,000,000,000,000 (a million million - 12 zeros, or 10¹²).
In the US the "short scale" was used, with one billion representing 1,000 x 1,000,000 = 1,000,000,000 (a thousand million - 9 zeros, or 10⁹).
In 1974 the UK government officially adopted the "short scale" numerical system to avoid any misunderstandings with "one thousand million" becoming a "billion". Adoption is almost complete although some residual uncertainty still remains in the UK (my Oxford Duden German dictionary still implies that the choice is optional).
|TIP! If there is any chance that your translation may be misunderstood then spell it out . For example, if your German translation includes an important, officially authorized figure, such as GDP, then you can happily say "35 thousand million euros" or "thirty-five thousand million euros" and avoid any potential confusion.
PS. Just a note to all those Euro nay-sayers and doubters: I do get so sick of all the negative Euro-publicity I hear on English radio (the UK is particularly bad). I haven't met anyone over here who isn't happy with the Euro as our Austrian and German currency! Austria is landlocked and even though only 3 of our 8 neighbours are Eurozone countries - you have no idea how much easier life has become with a single currency!
