Non-Allergic Cat: Soon A Pet To Get
From the hypoallergenic cat to herbal tabs for asthma, to testing for allergy from birth, Allergic Living investigates what's in the research pipeline.
Idea: Hypoallergenic Cat
What's Involved: Genetically engineering a cat that doesn't have the gene that makes Fel d 1 protein, which causes the majority of allergic reaction. Once a colony of hypoallergenic cats is established, kittens could be bred using "traditional" methods.
Where We Stand: In 2006 a company called Allerca Inc. claimed to have bred the world's first hypoallergenic kittens and Time magazine hailed them as one of the best inventions of the year.
But the company and its founder have been the subject of controversy, with the media and a dedicated website questioning whether the firm, now called Lifestyle Pets, really has sneeze-free cats.
But this is not the only company in the hunt for the hypoallergenic kitty. Dr. David Avner, an emergency room physician in Denver, has been working with molecular biologists on silencing the Fel d 1 gene for years, and so far has come up empty-handed.
This past summer his team thought they had successfully knocked out the gene, which could lead to the breakthrough they've hoped for.
While Avner admits to being "optimistic" in predicting when his company, Felix Pets, will have cats on the market, he says there's little doubt that in 10 years, a hypoallergenic cat will be in people's homes.
"Without question, someone is going to do it. It's too obvious an application of the technology, and the desire for people to have allergen-free cats is too high for it to go unrealized."
Idea: Herbal Tablets for Asthma
What's Involved: The Antiasthma Herbal Formula (ASHMI) is a tablet containing three traditional Chinese herbs. A study of patients in China shows it improves lung function and reduces use of bronchodilators.
Where We Stand: Dr. Xiu-Min Li at the Mount Sinai School of Medicine and her colleagues continue to study ASHMI in mice and people, comparing it to using corticosteroids. New, unpublished data show that eight weeks after mice stop taking the corticosteroids, their asthma symptoms return when they are exposed to triggers.
However, the mice on the herbal formula are still protected eight weeks later. Safety studies in humans have been completed, and Phase 2 efficacy studies are continuing.
One of the benefits to using ASHMI, instead of a steroid, is that there are fewer side effects, such as weight gain. However, Li says corticosteroids will be the standard treatment for asthma for years to come.
"The practical protocol will be to have a herbal remedy that will reduce the steroid's side effects and help to maintain the protective effect," she says.
Idea: Quick-Acting Allergy Shots
What's Involved: Currently, immunotherapy to environmental allergies such as trees, grass, ragweed and cats, sometimes called allergy shots, requires numerous needles over several years. The shots also carry the risk of anaphylaxis in some individuals. Now, a few companies are developing therapies to make the treatment process far shorter and also safer.

Let me start by saying I am obviously not a pro. I bought the multimatic last year and did some steel and it went pretty well but I definitely need more time with it.
But: I wanted to do aluminum and I am definitely doing something wrong in a major way. I have the spoolgun 100, 100% argon, I was trying to welding a 3/8" solid aluminum rod to a tube frame which is 1/16". Previously I had the same problem I will describe so when the results came out the same, I know I am missing something.
I used the regulator that came with the MM kit and have et it to between 10-20CF per hour.
Power was on 25volts and wire speed around 350.
The minute I lite up, it looks like gun is shooting a green flame, I never really can even properly see the arc or much of anything and it sounds like its breathing fire. I am doing electrode +.
The welds don't penetrate well at all, they are nearly instantly filthy and black soot all around.
I am not sure what I did wrong, when I learned on steel I could see some improvement, but I have tried this maybe 6 times now and I can't even get one single clean weld, they do penetrate some but they are about the worst I have ever seen.
I would appreciate any help you can give that could let me see what I have missed.

Aluminum Mig Welding with Spoolgun Multimatic problems, please help!!!
Turn your gas up to 25-30cfh. Angle the gun so you are pushing at about 15* instead of pulling. Try on some flat pcs. first. You will almost always get soot but when everything is set right you won't get much.

What size wire? I would say you have the dreaded cold start being that the rod is 3/8 and the other tube is thinner. Not sure on the voltage as my welder doesn't have a meter but i would say you need some practice on some tube the same thickness on both parts...BobBob Wright, Grandson of Tee Nee Boat Trailer Founder

Your aluminum might be anodized. You may not be getting adequate gas. Your argon may be contaminated.

If aluminium surfaces are anodized it become harder than aluminium but it have low resistance that can be improved with the increasing of thickness and also by applying suitable sealing substances.

It's definitely not anodized and I cleaned it up quite a bit with a new scotchbrite pad. The wire is .030 I believe, and from the notes here I am thinking the gas flow might be too low, I will try to crank it up some, it was very odd since I knew about pushing and not pulling and even when the weld first starts, its like its an instant mess, so the gas could be the ticket I hope. I will try again and let folks know.
Any other ideas definitely let me know. Thank you!

Your volts are too high and/or your wire speed is too low.
For an .030 wire (and I will guess it is a 4043) you should be starting out at about 22 volts and 450 wire speed on the low side, then make adjustments from there.JIM

I welded for a while and when the Al gets hot I needded to change but thats normal. I tried some other scraps and noticed I had some problems again and minor changes to the power and speed got me back in business.
At least now the welds looks *remotely* like welds and not justa complete disaster. Thanks again, now I just need more practice and getting used to this machine.

Program Overview
The Leaders in Health (LIH) program strengthens community nutrition and physical activity initiatives through introductory training in public health research and science. The goal of the Leaders in Health program is to build the capacity of our community partners by providing participants with an introduction to the fundamentals of community-based participatory research (CBPR) and nutrition, physical activity, and obesity prevention among children and youth. Individuals who live or work in Boston and are currently involved with a nutrition- or physical activity-related program or project (on either a work or volunteer basis) are eligible to apply. Participants attend interactive training sessions, complete assignments, and receive support to create an action plan to enhance their current work.
The HPRC, the Boston Collaborative for Food and Fitness (BCFF), and Harvard Catalyst's Community Engagement Program piloted the first LIH program in spring 2011 and sponsored the second in spring 2012. All three organizations work with community partners who provide invaluable knowledge of local issues as well as communication and organizing skills essential to the implementation, effectiveness, reach, sustainability, and dissemination of public health work.
Through our conversations with community partners working to improve nutrition and physical activity, many organizations have asked for a program that will help them understand and use the public health approach, community-based participatory research methods, and the science underlying effective evidence-based obesity prevention strategies. This program benefits our work, the work of our organizational partners, and individual program participants. Through working together we can have a more significant impact on improving nutrition and physical activity and reducing overweight among Boston residents.
Topics covered during the Leaders in Health Program include:
- Public Health Principles & Practice
- Community-Based Participatory Research
- Health Equity
- Nutrition & Food Systems
- Physical Activity & Built Environment
- Project Development, Implementation, & Evaluation
- Public Speaking & Policy Advocacy
Between charismatic guest speakers, delicious (and nutritious) lunches from the Haley House, and compelling stories from participants, there is never a dull moment at Leaders in Health. During the first few weeks of the program, members identify a nutrition- or physical activity-related project that they are working on and think could be enhanced by LIH principles. Then, over the second half of the program, participants create action plans, construct logic models, and examine evaluation and implementation strategies to help translate their knowledge into practice.
During the final week of the program, LIH participants give a presentation that outlines key components of their projects, such as specific aims, target population, activities, outcomes, and LIH concepts that they applied.

Anna Fenninger managed to adjust to the new snow conditions on the shortened "Karl Schranz" course in St. Anton to take third place in the World Cup Downhill. With overnight snow that had also caused the final training run to be cancelled, many of the racers explained that the conditions were hard to adjust to. With just sixteen hundredths separating Fenninger from a Downhill win, the HEAD World Cup rebel was still happy with the result. Alice McKennis won her first World Cup race with Daniella Merighetti in second.
"Today was much softer than in the training course, it has made it extremely difficult to keep the curves closely," explained Fenninger, whom was "reasonably satisfied" with her third place, adding: "A place on the podium is always good."
Lindsey Vonn placed sixth in her first race back after taking a six race break yet struggled with getting into the rhythm of the course she explained before adding that she was really happy to be back on the World Cup.
With the race held up for a while due to a nasty high-speed crash, Julia Mancuso, felt the effects of this yet managed to recover her thoughts to place 15th. Mancuso managed to post the fastest split time before two mistakes cost her any chance of the win.
After the race, Fenninger explained that the difference between the training run and the race was "extreme," the racers had to deal with hard and icy in training to a bumpy racecourse with soft new snow.
Lizz Goergl pulled out of the race after the second training run was cancelled as she is struggling with her set up. Goergl is the defending Downhill and Super G World Champion from 2011. "I definitely know that I have not forgotten how to ski. But I also know that I still need a few things. I am seeking and will keep looking and hopefully will find the feeling. I believe that is not missing much, but it is still the crucial. We'll see in a few weeks if I have found it," she explained.

The current fixed calendar works in such a way so that the first day of Rosh Hashana can never fall out on a Friday, but this is the very day on which the first Rosh Hashana fell! What gives?
Take the 2-minute tour ×
Mi Yodeya is a question and answer site for those who base their lives on Jewish law and tradition and anyone interested in learning more. It's 100% free, no registration required.
The Talmud in Rosh Hashanah (20A) explains that Yom Kippur shouldn't fall out on the day before or after Shabbat, since two consecutive Shabbat-like days could be problematic. If Rosh Hashanah were to fall out on Friday, Yom Kippur would fall out on sunday. Two reasons are given (see the gemara there for a discussion of these two reasons):
I would argue that these reasons weren't really applicable the day man was created, since there was no death in the world yet (until Adam sinned).
It would be interesting to see what Adam's observance of Yom Kippur would have been like, had he not sinned. Would he even fast? Would it still be day of Atonement?

Evidence: The Work of Robert A.M. Stern Architects
Architect Robert A.M. Stern examines over 40 years worth of his acclaimed firm's buildings in his latest book.

The Bucs (22-10, 11-6 A-Sun) were outhit 12-6 in the contest by the Bruins (18-17, 7-9 A-Sun). Junior John Long (Anderson, S.C.) was tabbed with his fourth loss of the year after giving up seven runs (four earned) in 5.2 innings of work with five strikeouts.
Chase Brookshire went 6.0 strong innings for Belmont as he improved to 3-2. Brookshire limited ETSU to one run on five hits with six strikeouts and four walks.
The Bruins jumped out in front 4-0 in the bottom of the first scoring four runs on an RBI single by Judah Akers and a three-run homer by Tim Egerton.
ETSU cut the Belmont lead to 4-1 in the top half of the second. After Dylan Pratt (Johnson City, Tenn.) and Kerry Doane (Ft. Lauderdale, Fla.) both reached to start the inning, sophomore Derek Niesman (Wellington, Fla.) brought Pratt home on a sacrifice fly to right.
The Bucs threatened in the top of the sixth as both Derek Trent (Kingsport, Tenn.) and Pratt got on base to lead off the inning. In the next at-bat Doane roped a ball to left, but Belmont's Derek Hamblen would make a great catch against the wall to rob Doane of extra bases. Brookshire then retired the next two batters to end the threat.
In the bottom half of the frame, with two outs Nate Woods increased the Bruins advantage to 7-1 as he crushed a three-run homer to left.
Belmont ended the game in the bottom of the seventh as the Bruins plated four runs on two hits and two Buccaneers highlighted by a two-run triple by Hamblen.

The iPad has the cool feature of being able to rotate the home screen (screens) with apps on them, I was wondering if this is possible for the iPhone's as well? If so, how do I do this. My iPhone is Jailbroken so using a Cydia or equilvalent app is possible. I'm also looking to auto rotate the lock screeen as well.

The CA Brumbies have announced their leadership group to guide the side through the 2010 Investec Bank Super 14 season.
Stephen Hoiles will again captain the side after taking over the reins from Stirling Mortlock for the 2009 season. He will be joined in the five-man leadership team by Stephen Moore, Mitchell Chapman, Justin Harrison and Matt Giteau, who returned to training this morning along with fellow Wallabies Rocky Elsom, Adam Ashley-Cooper and George Smith.
The leadership group represents 337 Investec Bank Super Rugby caps and acts as a go-between for the playing squad and coaching staff as well as providing input into playing and training styles.
CA Brumbies Head Coach Andy Friend says he's pleased with the group selected to lead the CA Brumbies in 2010.
"There's no doubt we've got an abundance of leadership credentials in the side this season but we wanted to make sure that there was a good balance in the [leadership] group," he said. "We're fortunate enough to have a number of other key players within the squad, not least of which are three Wallaby captains, and their contribution will still be extremely important to us this season while giving them the opportunity to focus on their rugby.
"Steve [Hoiles] did a tremendous job in captaining the side – under what were at times difficult circumstances last season – and there was little doubt he'd be entrusted with the role again this year.
"In his first season with the side Stephen Moore was an out-and-out leader within the pack. His performances were consistent and he provided a lot of valuable input throughout the year and we thought it appropriate to give him a recognised role within the side. Similarly, Mitch has been a strong performer for the CA Brumbies over the past two seasons. He's got a mature head on his shoulders, he's an experienced campaigner and he was a player we believed would be able to represent the playing group well.
"Justin's leadership ability has been one of the strengths of his game over what has been a long career. The amount of intellectual property he holds after almost 15 years of professional rugby is unsurpassed and he's been one of the key individuals in each squad he's been a part of.
"Matt Giteau's credentials are well known and he's been a key component of the Wallabies backline for a number of years. He's very pleased to be back in CA Brumbies colours, he's keen to be involved and we're very keen to let him be involved."

Discussion in 'Large Art' started by Roma, May 11, 2012.
idk, not really that happy with the way this turned out to be
I really like that you can see the "hair" on the middle of the leaf...
Well it is because the leaf as a frame to see the other side is small but I think shooting reality as it is still something despite of the better scenes we want to see.
The concept though is good and I like the dreamy light plus the dark parts on the side that are combined makes a moody and unique image. Warmth with darkness are perhaps the words to describe it. I'm having some difficulty in expressing what I see...but I want to assure that the image is great
I know Maffe have lots of surprises and it is not something to wonder anymore why his sight is so sharp in a microscopic level. ;D
Well thanks
How is that a microspocip vision lol, the hairs are quite visible imo ;D
What really bothers me personally is all the dirt on the leaf but i couldn' t just clean them off and editing it out was too much work. Yeah I guess that' s the reality shots you were talking about
How did you get this shot?
Well I just set the camera on macro, focusing the region around the main hole and did everything else in GIMP.
These are really really nice. O: I haven't had much experience with GIMP yet, but it's similar to Photoshop as I'm understanding.

Gallery: LEED Platinum Vancouver Convention Center has Canada's Largest...
Led by Seattle based architecture firm LMN, the most extraordinary addition to the center is the 5-acre living roof that is landscaped with more than 400,000 indigenous plants and grasses, and provides a natural habitat to birds, butterflies, insects, small mammals, and bees. These bees (about 240,000 of them) live in four hives that produce honey to be used in the center's kitchen. The layers of the structure act as an insulator, reducing heat gains in summer and heat losses in winter, as well as contribute to the building's stormwater utilization. The underside of the roof is lined with beautiful Douglas Fir slats, a locally harvested material. It is also notable that the convention center roof has flexible space meeting rooms and an exhibition hall. You can see a detailed plan of the roof and other areas of the building, in the VCECE's really cool online 3D floorplan application.
The renovation, waterfront improvements, and new west facility expansion were a project of the BC Pavilion Corporation (PavCo). At almost double the original estimate, it was upwards of $800,000,000 (USD), but the final design includes significant sustainable benefits that are sure to earn back the expenditures over time. The building's foundation has a five-tiered artificial reef and 1500 feet of marine habitat that will be home to barnacles, mussels, seaweed, starfish, crabs and various fish species. In addition, the on-site black water treatment and desalinization systems that are projected to reduce potable water use 60 to 70 percent over typical convention centers. An integrated heat pump system takes advantage of the constant temperature of the adjacent seawater to moderate heating and cooling. The building design considers natural lighting and ventilation, in addition to the energy efficient fixtures and advanced energy management systems. The interior is clad with locally harvested materials, including Douglas fir and Hemlock wood finishes, and the flooring is low-VOC.
When the games end later this month, the VCEC will continue to function as conference, meeting, ballroom, and exhibition space. Even those that visit the site for leisure purposes will be able to take advantage of the wonderful views, and the 400,000 square feet of walkways, bikeways, public open space and plazas. "The design goes far beyond the big box functionality and experience of a traditional convention centre," says Mark Reddington, FAIA, LMN partner. "Instead, it offers a new vision of sustainability and a rich public experience by weaving together the natural ecology, local culture, urban context, and building program in a unified whole that functions literally as a living part of both the city and the harbor."

Ten Classic Songs New Artists Should Remake
Fun. does Bruce Springsteen's "Dancing in the Dark"
Few artists represent the American common man like Brucey boy. His relatable tales of love, angst and growing up have served as the soundtrack for people for over four decades. For today's fast-living generation, NYC-based trio Fun. sums up their experiences with stirring anthems like "Some Nights." Frontman Nate Ruess could reinterpret the lyrics with his emotionally charged vocal chops as his cohorts put a modern minimalist spin on the '80s heavy composition.
1. Ten Classic Songs New Artists Should Remake
Whether about a night of hooliganism or being up in da club, an anthem can transcend age, culture and geographic barriers. While genre labels make it easier to categorize music you simply can't pinpoint why a song resonates with people on a deep emotional level. Suburban-ites who get down at karaoke night to Tupac's "California Love" can't necessarily identify with being a West Coast baller but that doesn't take away from their attraction to the song's infectious chorus and funky beat. Now just imagine Kendrick Lamar reinventing it--generations collide. It's a combination of many ingredients that all come together to make a classic anthem. With that in mind we have decided to get all back-to-the-future by pairing up some of today's finest hit-makers with classic anthems that deserve to be rediscovered and reimagined. We bring to you Ten Classic Songs New Artists Should Remake.
2. The Roots do DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince "Summertime"
Summer is a season tailored made for anthems. In 1991 future movie superstar Will Smith and his underappreciated partner laced many a BBQ with this timeless hit. With their unparalleled musicianship fellow Philadelphia natives The Roots are the perfect candidates to bring out the cruisy vibes of the Kool & The Gang-sampling beat, while Black Thought could exude effortless cool on the mic.
3. Pharrell Williams Does Stevie Wonder's "My Cherie Amour"
The music of Stevie Wonder stirs up many emotions and continues to be beloved the world over. Much like his one-man-band forefather, who has written, produced and performed his own material from a young age, Pharrell Williams is a musical virtuoso. The producer-singer has the falsetto to pull off the emotional tone of the song while tapping into a new level of musicality and melody with an uptempo rendition.
4. Jay Z, Justin Timberlake & Jimmy Fallon Do The Beastie Boys, "No Sleep Til Brooklyn"
Cited in the mid-to-late-'80s as the bad boys of hip-hop and rock music, the Beastie Boys were always about having fun. The unofficial ambassador of Brooklyn, Jay Z has proven his vocal ability to be both playful and authoritative. Meanwhile, his showbiz pals JT and Jimmy Fallon have demonstrated their skill for reinterpreting old school rap classics and could truly bring the party vibe. Add Rick Rubin behind the boards and you've got yourself an anthem.
5. Florence Welch Does Cyndi Lauper's "True Colors"
The world of music has been home to many bombastic personalities and true individuals. In the neo-tinted '80s Cyndi Lauper was the pied piper. A fellow fiery redhead, Florence Welch has carved out her own place as a one-of-a-kind artist. Welch has both the artistic sensibility and outstanding vocal skills to give this ballad the epic feel it deserves.
6. Bruno Mars Does The Police's "Don't Stand So Close to Me"
The sensitive bad boy has long been a staple of pop music dating back to the days of Elvis. In his day Sting could very well be recognized as the poster boy, while Bruno Mars certainly has many of the qualities to be today's equivalent. One of The Police's signature anthems, this song's ebbs and flows could really play to Mars and his love of emotional, stylised vocal delivery and reggae-tinged beats.
7. Pink & Adam Levine Do Eddie Money & Ronnie Spector's "Take Me Home Tonight"
Many music purists might scoff at power ballads for being too syrupy. These same hard-shelled people can probably be found playing "Total Eclipse of the Heart" on repeat. In the decade of emo anthems, Eddie Money teamed up with girl-group legend Ronnie Spector to produce the undeniably catchy "Take Me Home Tonight." Putting a gender-bending twist on the song, duet queen Pink would be ideal to fill in for the husky voiced Money, while Levine could help sweeten the chorus with his slinky voice.
8. Emeli Sandé Dos Aerosmith's "Crazy"
At first listen you wouldn't associate arena rock gods like Aerosmith with a young female British crooner. However, listening closely to emotive efforts such as "Next to Me" and "Suitcase" you could be singing a different tune. The genre-fusing Sandé undeniably has the vocal breadth to really cut to the heart of Aerosmith's bluesist ballad.
9. Robin Thicke Does Michael Jackson's "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough"
No strangers to filling the dance floor and being under the media glare, MJ and Robin Thicke draw from a similar energy and inspiration. Responsible for his own brand of soul-infused pop anthems, Thicke could add a coat of hot candle wax to this hit with his seductive vocal style. Calling on his buddy Pharrell for production duties would be the icing on the rhythmic cake.
10. Adele Does Elton John's "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me"
The UK is responsible for blessing the world with countless gifts, with musical talent being possibly its greatest contribution. We'll give them a pass for Hugh Grant. Dating back to the '70s, Elton John has arguably been the king of anthems. An epic anthem such as this calls for an epic talent, so enter the monumentally gifted Adele. If anyone can do the original justice while adding their own presence it's this heralded singer-songwriter. Even the famously hard-to-please Sir Elton would surely extend his endorsement for this rendition.

Wan-Deuk's life takes a turn when he gets to know his annoying and weird teacher Dong-Joo. Dong-Joo gradually changes from an enemy to a friend as the two get to know each other. Learning to express his anger at the world by taking on kickboxing, the unlikely hero experiences emotional growth and what it means to have a dream.
