SHA-3 (Secure Hash Algorithm 3), a subset of the cryptographic primitive family Keccak (/ˈkætʃæk/, or /kɛtʃɑːk/),[1][2] is a cryptographic hash function designed by Guido Bertoni, Joan Daemen, Michaël Peeters, and Gilles Van Assche, building upon RadioGatún. SHA-3 is a member of the Secure Hash Algorithm family. The SHA-3 standard was released by NIST on August 5, 2015.[3][4]
On October 2, 2012, Keccak was selected as the winner of the NIST hash function competition.[1] SHA-3 is not meant to replace SHA-2, as no significant attack on SHA-2 has been demonstrated. Because of the successful attacks on MD5 and SHA-0 and theoretical attacks on SHA-1,[5] NIST perceived a need for an alternative, dissimilar cryptographic hash, which became SHA-3.
In 2014, the NIST has published a draft FIPS 202 "SHA-3 Standard: Permutation-Based Hash and Extendable-Output Functions".[6] FIPS 202 was approved on August 5, 2015.[7]
The Keccak algorithm (which NIST say is pronounced "catch-ack"[1] but Dr. Dobb's Journal says is pronounced "ket-chak"[8]) is the work of Guido Bertoni, Joan Daemen (who also co-designed the Rijndael cipher with Vincent Rijmen[9]), Michael Peters, and Gilles Van Assche.[8]
On August 5, 2015 NIST announced that SHA-3 had become a hashing standard.[10]
SHA-3 uses the sponge construction,[11][12] in which message blocks are XORed into a subset of the state, which is then transformed as a whole. In the version used in SHA-3, the state consists of a 5 × 5 array of 64-bit words, 1600 bits total. The authors claim 12.5 cycles per byte[13] on an Intel Core 2 CPU. However, in hardware implementations, it is notably faster than all other finalists.[14]
Keccak's authors have proposed additional, not-yet-standardized uses for the function, including an authenticated encryption system and a "tree" hash for faster hashing on certain architectures.[15] Keccak is also defined for smaller power-of-2 word sizes w down to 1 bit (25 bits total state). Small state sizes can be used to test cryptanalytic attacks, and intermediate state sizes (from w = 8, 200 bits, to w = 32, 800 bits) can be used in practical, lightweight applications.[16][17]
The block permutation[edit]
This is defined for any power-of-two word size, w = 2ℓ bits. The main SHA-3 submission uses 64-bit words, ℓ = 6.
The state can be considered to be a 5 × 5 × w array of bits. Let a[i][j][k] be bit (5i + j) × w + k of the input, using a little-endian bit numbering convention and row-major indexing. I.e. i selects the column, j the row, and k the bit.
Index arithmetic is performed modulo 5 for the first two dimensions and modulo w for the third.
The basic block permutation function consists of 12 + 2ℓ iterations of five sub-rounds, each individually very simple:
- θ
- Compute the parity of each of the 5w (320, when w = 64) 5-bit columns, and exclusive-or that into two nearby columns in a regular pattern. To be precise, a[i][j][k] ← a[i][j][k] ⊕ parity(a[0...4][j−1][k]) ⊕ parity(a[0...4][j+1][k−1])
- ρ
- Bitwise rotate each of the 25 words by a different triangular number 0, 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, .... To be precise, a[0][0] is not rotated, and for all 0 ≤ t < 24, a[i][j][k] ← a[i][j][k−(t+1)(t+2)/2], where .
- π
- Permute the 25 words in a fixed pattern. a[j][2i+3j] ← a[i][j].
- χ
- Bitwise combine along rows, using a ← a ⊕ (¬b & c). To be precise, a[i][j][k] ← a[i][j][k] ⊕ ¬a[i][j+1][k] & a[i][j+2][k]. This is the only non-linear operation in SHA-3.
- ι
- Exclusive-or a round constant into one word of the state. To be precise, in round n, for 0 ≤ m ≤ ℓ, a[0][0][2m−1] is exclusive-ORed with bit m + 7n of a degree-8 LFSR sequence. This breaks the symmetry that is preserved by the other sub-rounds.
Hashing variable-length messages[edit]
SHA-3 uses the "sponge construction", where input is "absorbed" into the hash state at a given rate, then an output hash is "squeezed" from it at the same rate.
To absorb r bits of data, the data is XORed into the leading bits of the state, and the block permutation is applied. To squeeze, the first r bits of the state are produced as output, and the block permutation is applied if additional output is desired.
Central to this is the "capacity" of the hash function, which is the c = 25w − r state bits that are not touched by input or output. This can be adjusted based on security requirements. The maximum security level is half the capacity.
To ensure the message can be evenly divided into r-bit blocks, padding is required. Keccak uses the pattern 10*1: a 1 bit, zero or more 0 bits (maximum r − 1), and a final 1 bit. The final 1 bit is required because the sponge construction security proof requires that the rate is encoded in the final block ("multi rate padding").
To compute a hash, initialize the state to 0, pad the input, and break it into r-bit pieces. Absorb the input into the state; that is, for each piece, XOR it into the state and then apply the block permutation.
After the final block permutation, the desired n number of bits is squeezed. For the SHA3 instances, r is always greater than n, thus there is never a need for additional block permutations in the squeezing phase. The leading n bits of the state are the desired hash. However, arbitrary output length may be useful in applications such as optimal asymmetric encryption padding.
Although not part of the SHA-3 standard, smaller variants of the block permutation can be used, for hash output sizes up to half their state size, if the rate r is limited appropriately. For example, a 256-bit hash can be computed using 25 32-bit words if r = 800 − 2 × 256 = 288 (36 bytes per iteration).
The NIST standard defines the following instances.
Keccak[capacity](M, d) is defined as the sponge construction using Keccak-f[1600, capacity], message M and output length d.
|Keccak[448](M||01, 224)
|Keccak[512](M||01, 256)
|Keccak[768](M||01, 384)
|Keccak[1024](M||01, 512)
|SHAKE128(M, d)
|Keccak[256](M||1111, d)
|SHAKE256(M, d)
|Keccak[512](M||1111, d)
The SHA3 instances are the drop-in replacements for SHA2, with identical security claims. SHAKE instances are so called XOF's, Extendible Output Functions. For example SHAKE128(M, 256) can be used as a hash function with 128 bit overall security.
Note that all instances append some bits to the message. Since 10*1 padding always adds at least two bits, in byte aligned libraries we always have six unused zero bits. Therefore these appended extra bits never make the padded message longer.
Throughout the NIST hash function competition, entrants were permitted to "tweak" their algorithms to address issues that were discovered. Changes that have been made to Keccak are:[18][19]
- The number of rounds was increased from 12 + ℓ to 12 + 2ℓ to be more conservative about security.
- The message padding was changed from a more complex scheme to the simple 10*1 pattern described above.
- The rate r was increased to the security limit, rather than rounding down to the nearest power of 2.
NIST announcement controversy[edit]
In February 2013 at the RSA Conference, and then in August 2013 at CHES, NIST announced they would select different values for the capacity, i.e. the security parameter, for the SHA-3 standard, compared to the submission.[20][21] The changes caused some turmoil.
In September 2013, Daniel J. Bernstein suggested on the NIST hash-forum mailing list[22] to strengthen the security to the 576-bit capacity that was originally proposed as the default Keccak.[23] In late September, the Keccak team responded by stating that they proposed 128-bit security by setting c = 256 as an option already in their SHA-3 proposal.[24] However, in the light of the uproar in the cryptographic community, they proposed raising the capacity to 512 bits for all instances.[25]
In early October 2013, Bruce Schneier criticized NIST's decision on the basis of its possible detrimental effects on the acceptance of the algorithm, saying
There is too much mistrust in the air. NIST risks publishing an algorithm that no one will trust and no one (except those forced) will use.[26]
Paul Crowley, a senior developer at an independent software development company, expressed his support of the decision, saying that Keccak is supposed to be tunable and there is no reason for different security levels within one primitive. He also added:
Yes, it's a bit of a shame for the competition that they demanded a certain security level for entrants, then went to publish a standard with a different one. But there's nothing that can be done to fix that now, except re-opening the competition. Demanding that they stick to their mistake doesn't improve things for anyone.[27]
There was also some confusion that internal changes were made to Keccak. The Keccak team clarified this, stating that NIST's proposal for SHA-3 is a subset of the Keccak family, for which one can generate test vectors using their reference code submitted to the contest, and that this proposal was the result of a series of discussions between them and the NIST hash team.[28] Also, Bruce Schneier corrected his earlier statement, saying
I misspoke when I wrote that NIST made "internal changes" to the algorithm. That was sloppy of me. The Keccak permutation remains unchanged. What NIST proposed was reducing the hash function's capacity in the name of performance. One of Keccak's nice features is that it's highly tunable.[26]
In November 2013, in the light of the uproar in the cryptographic community, John Kelsey of NIST proposed to go back to the original c = 2n proposal for all SHA-2 drop-in replacement instances.[29] These changes were confirmed in the April 2014 draft.[30] This proposal was implemented in the final release standard in August 2015.[3]
Examples of SHA-3 variants[edit]

By using these Responsive Design strategies, emails can come to life across a variety of devices and contexts.
In part one of my Responsive Design Guide, we discussed the importance of adapting email to an increasing variety or devices and contexts and covered the priming of our email canvas.
With that framework in place we can layer on the techniques that will make your emails come to life with Responsive Design.
Media Query Support
Responsive Design relies on media queries in the < style> section of your email. The most common method is to base your design on a desktop format and then use the @media query to serve different layouts or styles when a smaller screen size is detected. The biggest constraint with Responsive Design is that media queries are only supported by newer mobile operating systems. Gmail is the biggest offender -- Google does not support media queries in any of their apps or the Gmail Web client.
Not Supported
Width-Based Rules
Media queries will look for the width of your device or window. On a desktop, device width will change when you resize the window you're viewing the email on. On a smartphone, it will change when you change the orientation of the device.
The example below uses a max width of 320 pixels, applying styling to any device equal to or less than 320 pixels. This includes iPhones and many smartphones (in portrait view).
< style>
@media only screen (max-width
*/ Styling for smartphone */
< /style>
Min-width is used for the opposite purpose, setting a minimum screen size. This example applies styling to desktop or tablets greater than 680 pixels wide:
@media only screen (min-width 680px) {}
Unless you only have a single rule, you should always combine both min-width and max-width in your rules. This ensures that none of your rules overlap one another.
@media only screen (max-width: 320px)
@media only screen (min-width: 321px)
and (max-width: 649px) {}
Adding Styling to Elements
Once we've setup our layout with relative widths (see part one for a refresher) you'll be able to make your entire template adapt fluidly with just a few steps. The easiest technique is to change the values in your styling based on device width.
Making the width of content tables, the values of font-size, and padding responsive to device will make your content responsive as well.
In this example, the main content table's width and padding are resized based on device width. All tables nested within this one will respond fluidly as long as they have percentage-based widths. Additionally, the font size changes to make it more legible on a smaller screen. Make sure to declare !important on your values to ensure they are not ignored or overridden by the default values in your body section.
< style>
@media only screen (max-width
img[class="desktop _ image"],
td[class="cell" {
width: 320px
padding: 20px
p[class="text"] {
font-size: 40px
< /style>
When using CSS to resize the elements of your design, you can code the body of the email as a fallback. When device width matches the parameters called out in the media query, the layout will be modified. In cases where media queries are not supported, the fallback layout will display.
Render, Test, Repeat
Due to the wide range of rendering issues in different clients, you should test your design as often as possible during the production. Create a responsive skeleton and fully test it before inserting actual content.
Litmus and Email on Acid are two tremendous services that allow you to send a single email and view simulated renderings in most email clients and devices. These apps are immensely useful and a must-have for any email marketer.
That said, you should still use live tests in as many environments as possible. To make sure your design is universally compatible you should test them on as many devices and Web clients as you can. Viewing, scrolling (or swiping), and clicking in the actual client or device will give you a better idea of your opener's experience.

The ER dr. didn't know what triggered the hives and reaction but he did prescribe some anti-itching meds for my husband.
We are looking into sea salt bath to see if this will help. One thing I do notice is that when the symptoms are in the peak blowout, my husband's skin feels feverish!! Calamine lotion works but we will be trying Clariton D to work on the preventative. Any solution or any discovery of what the triggers for such hives are much appreciated.View Thread
We are going to try bath salt and he is going to seek medical help. Sometimes he will have the chest caughs that seem to block his airway - this happened a couple of times.
Nothing unusual occurs in our household that I suspect will trigger such skin irritation.View Thread

An autonomous country within the Kingdom of Denmark, the huge island of Greenland lies to the Northeast of North America. In recent years this country has opened up to tourism with several companies offering Greenland cruises. Small communities of indigenous people can be found by the water's edge, whose prosperity has relied on fishing, hunting and small-scale farming, but with a tiny population of about 60,000 this is the least densely populated country in the world. Due to the vast size of Greenland and the infrastructure the best way to take a Greenland holiday is by cruise ship.
All towns and settlements of Greenland are situated along the ice-free coast, with the population being concentrated along the west coast.
Cruises tend to focus on Disko Bay and the south and southwest, and their focus is on the traditional Inuit communities, historic Viking settlements, and stunning mountain scenery, with breathtaking ice formations, and rugged fjords and mountains.
Most Greenland cruises start in Kangerlussuaq, which is usually reached by a specially chartered flight. Expedition ships such as Silversea's Silver Explorer, a Hurtigruten vessel or Compagnie du Ponant's Boreal offer Greenland cruises in the summer months.
Sometimes expedition cruise lines will schedule a one-off Northwest Passage cruise from Greenland, aiming to find a route through the moving pack-ice to the Pacific Ocean and northern Alaska disembarking in Nome. This extraordinary journey (occasionally you will also see it scheduled in the opposite direction) is particularly exciting because you can never be completely sure the journey will be successful, although in recent years the ice has clearly receded.
Cruise ships monitor the ice closely, and can call upon ice-breakers to help them through the passage if necessary. This is one of the last true adventures, following in the footsteps of Amundsen, the first explorer to find a northern route from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
Day 1 - Fly London to Vancouver. Overnight stay Vancouver
Day 2 - Fly Vancouver to Nome, Alaska. Board Hanseatic
Day 3 - Point Hope & Barrow. Visit the whaling settlement of Point Hope and whale watch in Barrow
Day 4 - At sea
Day 5-14 - Travelling the Northwest Passage from the Beaufort Sea into Lancaster Sound. Spot brown bears on Herschel Island, learn about the culture of the Inuit in Holman, see the spectacular coastline of Johansen Bay and Ross Point. Take a tour of the heritage of the Norwegian Arctic explorer Roald Amundsen in Cambridge Bay. Cruise the narrow passage of Peel Sound. All the time be on the lookout for polar bears!
Day 15 - Resolute & Beechey Island . See Resolute, ancient settlement of the Thule. Visit Beechey Island the resting place of the missing John Franklin Expedition
Day 16 - Dundas Harbor. This marks your successful journey through the Northwest Passage
Day 17 - At sea
Day 18 - Uummannaq, Greenland. Visit the quaint town of Uummannaq in the shadow of Uummannaq Mountain
Day 19 - Ilulissat (Jakobshavn), Greenland & cruising Disko Bay. Hike to the Ilulissat Icefjord. See drifting icebergs whilst cruising Disko Bay
Day 20 - Sisimiut. The chance to see whales and seals
Day 21 - Cruising in the Godthabfjord & Nuuk, Greenland. Cruise Godthabfjord one of the world's largest fjordlands. Visit Santa Claus post office near Nuuk
Day 22 - Qaqortoq & Hvalsey, Greenland. See Qaqortoq historic buildings and modern art and visit Viking ruins in Hvalsey
Day 23 - Cruising Prins Christian Sund
Day 24 - Cruising Skjoldungenfjord
Day 25 - At sea
Day 26 - Arrive Reykjavik. 1 night stay Reykjavik
Day 27 - Fly Reykjavik to London
The only time to go is during the summer time when the ice has thawed!
The temperatures will be low even in the height of summer and we recommend thermal layers, good quality sunglasses and high protection sunblock. The area will be particularly appealing to wildlife enthusiasts and photographers – bring binoculars, and ensure you have plenty of supplies of whatever photographic equipment you need, as you may not be able to find replacements locally.

Sojourn Rodgers Creek Pinot Noir 2012
Pinot Noir from Sonoma County, California
Winemaker's Notes
Rodgers Creek Vineyard is well-suited for Pinot noir, sitting high on a ridge in the heart of the Petaluma Gap and taking the full brunt of wind and thick fog that defines this cool climate zone. Sojourn's blocks within the vineyard are western-facing with broad sun exposure. In the warm 2012 vintage, this exposure to the elements was a key factor in allowing the grapes to hang and achieve complex flavors and ripe tannins. The resulting wine is a fabulous expression of the vineyard site and unique soils. It is a showy wine - very expressive and forward, with smooth textures and a lingering finish. Familiar aromas of mushroom and soy overlay layers of red fruit flavors, earth and hints of rosemary.
Critical Acclaim
PinotReport - "Deep ruby color; bright, ripe cherry aromas with earthy notes; complex, deep, bright cherry flavors with earthy, forest floor notes; good structure and balance; long finish. Deep complex Pinot with great structure. "
The Wine Advocate - "Sojourn's dark ruby-hued 2012 Pinot Noir Rodger's Creek Vineyard comes from a site located in the icy cold Petaluma Gap region. Completely made from clone 777, and fermented with 100% stems, it exhibits notes reminiscent of cherry pie, plums, cranberries and a hint of wild strawberries. It cuts a broad swath across the palate, but it does not reveal a lot of weight, tannin or forcefulness. This beautifully rich, pure Pinot Noir offers abundant notes of cloves, apple skins and cherries. Displaying a striking similarity to a top premier cru from Burgundy, it can be drunk now and over the next decade. "
Tasting Panel - "Silky and smooth with bright cherries and cranberries and savory notes of spice and earth; elegant, pure and classic."

About Sonoma CountyRelated Links:
Twice as large as Napa in size, Sonoma County only makes about a half the amount of wine as her northeasterly neighbor. But Sonoma, with her size, is able to vouch for more diversity within her borders, including sub-AVAs that are climatically varied. The atmosphere of Sonoma is decidedly laid back and down home country style. But in wines, they are keeping up with the Joneses, or Napa-ites if you will. Grape varieties are more varied here, from Pinot Noir and Zinfandel to Cabernet Sauvignon and Chardonnay.
Notable FactsThe largest sub-AVAs of Sonoma include Dry Creek Valley, Russian River Valley, Alexander Valley and Sonoma Valley. Each sub-AVA, with its own micro-climate, is unique in its grape varieties and styles of wine. Dry Creek makes a mean Zinfandel while Russian River produces stand up Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. The Alexander Valley makes some of the better Cabernet Sauvignons in the county and Sonoma Valley creates excellent wines from all the above varieties. Other grapes found throughout Sonoma include Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Syrah.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country into itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

Alcohol By Volume GuideMost wine ranges from 10-16% alcohol by volume. Some varietals tend to have higher (for example Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon) or lower alcohol levels (Pinot Noir and many white varietals), but there is always some variation from producer to producer. Some wine falls outside of this range, for instance Port weighs in closer to 20%, while Muscat and Riesling are usually a bit below 10%.
Wine Style Guide
Light & Fruity
- Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Smooth & Supple
- Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Earthy & Spicy
- Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Big & Bold
- Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.

Kenny Chesney Releases 'The Big Revival' Album Artwork
Kenny Chesney has already dropped his upcoming album's first single and announced the release date. Now, he's ready to share the album's colorful artwork with his fans.
Kenny Chesney has already dropped his upcoming album's first single and announced the release date. Now, he's ready to share the album's colorful artwork with his fans.
Now that 'American Kids' has hit country radio, Kenny Chesney is ready to announce his new album.
Kenny Chesney proves he's not ready to give up his King of Summertime crown just yet with 'American Kids,' a funky new song from his upcoming album...
Kenny Chesney is preparing for his sixteenth studio release, and he's opened up about the lead single, 'American Kids,' which he recently previewed for fans.
Kenny Chesney fans got the best Monday morning wake up call ever today. The singer dropped a clip of his new single on YouTube, sharing that 'American Kids' will be revealed in full on June 20.
Kenny Chesney gave his fans some very good news on Tuesday. Even though he's taking a summer away from the road, he's staying busy working on another new album.
When George Strait took the stage for a final show in Music City on Friday night (March 21), he proved that the cowboy won't ride away quietly -- the King of Country is going out with a bang.
Kenny Chesney may be trading in his signature cowboy hat for snorkeling gear!
Kenny Chesney is all fun and games onstage, but when it comes to his business, he gets serious. That's why the singer filed a copyright lawsuit in federal court this week.
Surf's up!
Here's a sight you don't often see. Country superstar Kenny Chesney spent his New Year's Day surfing in Hawaii with a pal. He shared a photo of his NYD fun, sans his trusty cowboy hat.
Kenny Chesney has reacted to a video showing Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Riley Cooper making threats and using a racial slur at the country singer's June 9 concert.
Not only does Kenny Chesney have a huge heart and a pretty sizable bank account to match, but he also has good looks to add to his resume. Not just good looks, but really good looks -- he's recently been named the Hottest Guy of 2013 by People Country.

You should have watched Fox News report on this subject. The fact that parents, both mothers & fathers, are sacrificing their kids bodies and futures by forcing them to play sports so they don't have to pay for a college education. What a bunch of disgraceful parents in this country. To cheap to fork over the money to make sure their kids get educated instead of beaten up like tree pulp. Ever wonder why players didn't get hurt so much back when football uniforms were smaller in the 50's? Because violence is taught in sports, evidenced by the drugs taken by players. Take the NFL for one. Those players think they are above the law and they get away with drugs, and all kinds of moral issues that normal folks would go to jail for.
Blame the parents for putting their kids through all this. Do not blames others. You made those choices to allow this to happen so live with it.

Data Centre Transformations: Gaining Agility and Reining in Escalating IT Costs in Education and Government Agencies
Download Now
Date Added: Nov 2009
Format: PDF
As organisations grow and evolve, their data centres can quickly multiply to serve a myriad of needs. With computer rooms being established and managed by diverse groups across the organisation, it can be difficult to manage costs and quickly respond to individual user needs. This segmented approach to IT management leads to server sprawl - and inordinate costs for floor space, cooling, system management, and more. Moreover, this means exciting new initiatives can go unfulfilled. There's no easy way to bring applications online quickly to support these endeavours. To solve these challenges, organisations need a more strategic approach to data centre management. After all, a data centre is not mere space. It is the heart of the organisation. It's the people, processes, and technology that keep operations pumping.

TOS merch sells better. It would probably all be nuTOS if not for the strangely split movie/TV series rights between CBS and Paramount.
Nah, that's clear cut. CBS has the merchandising rights for
Trek (note both Star Trek XI and Star Trek XI in the listings).
It's up to the companies wanting to make & sell Trek merchandise to decide which incarnation of it they want to go with. If they have big enough wallets, they can do
of them.
So its companies like Diamond Select who think that TOS is a better bet. Not CBS.

I think if you want more DS9 stuff to be made buy the existing stuff.
I have.
I buy minimates and see on some forums that people complain there's not enough non-TOS characters there. I think they need more people buying the Janeway or Picard figures to get more of these. Jusr my opinion.
I don't like those things at all, too small and easy to lose.
If everyone buys more DS9 then more should be made, if you believe in the capitalist system. Unless say the DS9 actors/directors/makers get a bigger cut of the toy profits than TOS. I'm not saying they are but you never know.
I buy minimates because my son likes them to battle his Star Wars lego.

We have already talked about fitness secrets of Hollywood celebrities and their style tips to look great, but how to get a Hollywood body, as they call it in the world of entertainment. Well, a lot of the personal trainers to the stars have been spilling the beans on how most of the stars lose weight after pregnancy, stay fit, and always look beautiful. Of course, there are exceptions. Stars do get fat, and many of them opt for weight loss surgery to get rid of that ugly fat on the tummy. In any case, one of the books sharing these secrets is "6 Weeks to a Hollywood Body" by Steve Zim and Mark Laska. Zim, a Hollywood trainer, is also the author of Hot Point Fitness and has many celebrity clients and has trained Jessica Biel, Ashley Judd, and Layla Ali. (Related: How to get a celebrity body)
Zim's suggested program includes both fitness and nutrition. The first phase of 2 weeks is for initiation with a more rigorous diet and an intense fitness schedule. During the second phase, that lasts 4 weeks, the nutrition and fitness programs are tailored to your body type: whether you are an ectomorph, mesomorph, or endomorph.
There is something else that is intriguing about Zim's approach - "spot training" - it is not spot reduction per se, but training. What he is saying is that you can work each part of your body through exercises to create a more balanced and toned body. For example, if you want to make your upper body look more toned, you can weight train to develop the muscles in that zone.
What we like about this program? The book gives details on exercise programs for each body type and advice on an appropriate diet. The advantage of this program is that it uses affordable fitness equipment. The program suggests a diet, but it is not a rigorous diet, as say, South Beach Diet or Perricone Diet or Oprah Diet. This means you can be flexible and adjust it to your taste and lifestyle.
What we do not like? It is a somewhat complicated book so if you are new to dieting and fitness, you may not follow the book so easily. Sometimes you just want someone to tell you what to do, the way the Weight Watchers or eDiets does. You also have to like a lot of protein in each meal.
So what do we recommend? Not a lot of new things here, the way there is not a whole lot of newness in the Jerusalem Diet. It is still somewhat easy to follow and if you put just a little bit of effort, you can really get a great body, if not a Hollywood body.

The Corpus Christi Museum of Science and History will provide the perfect introduction to our coastal adventure on Friday afternoon with a private tour of their history, ecology and paleontology galleries. This evening a group diner will be hosted at Water Street Seafood Company for the best seafood in town, and a few blocks walk from our hotel. Saturday, the group will tour the Harte Research Institute for Gulf of Mexico Studies at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi before exploring Padre Island National Seashore, the longest barrier island in the world and Laguna Madre, the most famous hypersaline lagoon in the world, with Dr. Wes Tunnell. The evening will feature a behind-the-scenes look at the Texas State Aquarium with staff biologists. On Sunday, take a boat ride in Aransas Bay with a stop at Talley Island to assist in field work with Jay Tarkington of the Center for Coastal Studies.

Classic Paleontological & Geological Locations
Germany – Switzerland
September 19 – 29, 2015
Nestled in the mountains of Germany and Switzerland are classic fossil localities and important geology and natural history—created when Africa collided with Europe forming the Swiss Alps and the Jura Mountains. The Jura Mountains are the remains of a giant coral reef system that flourished during the Jurassic—hence the name Jura mountains. Each layer in a quarry is like a page in a natural history book.
In this once-in-a-lifetime paleontology adventure to fossil localities and museums, you can visit private quarries with HMNS and collect fossils that will be yours to keep.* These are sites where amazing fossils have been discovered! Many of the specimens in HMNS's new Morian Hall of Paleontolgy came from this area, and our local paleontologist guides were instrumental in helping these fossils make their way to Houston.
Our primary focus in Germany will be Jurassic sites and museums, however we will also have the opportunity to visit the remarkable Eocene site known as the Messel Pit. In Switzerland, in addition to the Triassic playteosaur site and unique sauriermuseums, we will experience the grand geology of the Alps. We will witness views beyond compare on gondola rides up mountainsides, an amazing hike behind a waterfall, and a trek through a glacier.
We are visiting areas not only rich in pre-history. We will also explore the interesting history of the area and visit several historical sites from different periods—Celtic, Roman, Medieval and Renaissance.
HMNS Members $5,225 per person (double occupancy)
Nonmembers $5,725 per (double occupancy)
Price does not include lodging or transportation to/from Germany/Switzerland.
This trip is limited to 28 participants.

The Royal Tour with Dr. Zahi Hawass
March 22 – April 2, 2016
Dr. Zahi Hawass, world-renowned Egyptologist, is hosting a trip of a lifetime for HMNS. Dr. Hawass will take you beyond the beaten tourist path to visit hidden archeological sites not accessible to the general public. This will include a private visit to the Great Pyramid interior and the great Sphinx in Cairo. While in Luxor City, our group will have an exclusive evening in the Temple of Luxor after the tourists have been cleared. Dr. Hawass will show you his most recent excavations on the Giza Plateau as well as the Valley of the Kings in Luxor. His presence is essential for the private access we will be given to these sites. Fadel Gad, your tour guide, is an Egyptologist who worked for the Egyptian Department of Antiquities and conducted excavations in Lower and Upper Egypt. Dr. Dirk Van Tuerenhout, HMNS curator of anthropology, and Tom Hardwick, HMNS curator of Egyptology will also accompany the group. We hope you join us in this unique opportunity to visit Egypt, one of the most fascinating destinations in the world.

Hey guys,
My goal is to lose about 140 lbs within 12 months. I am being very realistic about it, I have been eating healthy and doing cardio at the gym 3-4 times a week for the past 3 weeks now. I am in no way looking for any short cuts but, with a slow metabolism that results from a long family history of obesity, a boost would be very much welcome. I dont believe in diet pills and have never used any, but I learned about DNP and its biochemical properties in my Molecular cell biology class, how it was used as a dieting tool in the 30's and how got banned because of the amount of deaths caused by overdoses. That being said, I was still interested finding out more and have been researching it for the past week online. Everything I've read so far seems to indicate that it can be used safely BUT ONLY if using the proper dosage.
So, I am ready to give it a try but I still have many questions that havent been answered; Where does one get DNP? If you purchase it online, is it safe to assume that those caps contain the indicated dosage? If not, then where would it be safe to get some? Is there anything else that would give me the same results without being as potentially dangerous? These questions are the first ones that I need answered before continuing on and I would really appreciate it if I could hear from people who have successfully and safely been using DNP for an adequate period of time. Thank you!

I really dont know if 140lbs in 12 months is a realistic goal. I am by no means trying to discourage you or put you down, but that would be over 10lbs a month, which may not be very healthy. But it would be better to know that up front as to not get discouraged and give up later on.
I would recommend you adjust your diet first and see where that takes you. You will most likely loose a lot of your weight very quickly to begin with, but it will slow down as you go.
I dont really know anything about DNP, but a lot of people on here use the EC stack as a tool when they start to plateau.
You can read more about it here: http://www.hotnfit.com/ecstack.htm
If you are not exercising, you should start a workout routine and exercise with weights at least 3x a week. This will help you build muscle, which will greatly aid with the fat loss, as your muscles will burn a lot of calories each day.

Its not worth messing with. I have seen what it can do for people in regards to fat loss and its not worth it. It is also very very dangerous. It is poison. It can cook your insides like a microwave. And I wouldnt even consider the long term effects of this product.Multiple record hold in the USPF and USPA. World champion & best lifter with the IPL.

To deadpool9
I tend to always fall a little short on my goals which is why I set my mind to lose 140 lbs when I would really be happy with 100 lbs lol! I figure this way I'll strive for more without getting disappointed with less. I have changed my diet, not really dieting just eating lots of veggies, fruits and reduced fat stuff while also reducing my caloric intake and increasing the amount of times I eat throughout the day. As for exercise, I haven't moved on to the weights yet, kinda been sticking with lots of cardio right now because its the one that burns the most and I wanted to get through with it without the extra soreness of weight lifting. I was just curious about DNP but like shawnbellon said it seems a little too risky. Like I said before I dont really believe in diet pills but do any of you have any recommendations about any supplements that might help keep me on track?

Side Effects:
Discomfort and sweating - This is the single most noticeable effect of DNP use, both by the user and those around him/her. Even in the winter, while indoors at ambient temperatures, one may expect his or her shirt to be completely soaked through with sweat. Those with jobs requiring formal or semi-formal apparel are advised to consider other means of fat loss (or a new job, if preferred). Other obvious considerations lie in the areas of social life, personal appearance, etc. and the user must prioritize.
Insomnia - Second in frequency of reports to sweating and discomfort is insomnia this may be at least partially attributed to discomfort. Possible means of countering this include such supplements as Valerian root or melatonin. Alternatively, one may deal with this via prescription or OTC sleep medications or GHB-A precursors. However, these may be addictive if used on a regular basis and if their use may be avoided, by all means abstain from using them.
Yellow bodily fluids - Some don't notice this, but others find that all of their bodily fluids take on a yellowish appearance. Urine is a darker yellow, and even semen and vaginal secretions may be affected. According to current knowledge, this is not known to be harmful in and of itself.
Muscle Soreness - This is yet another thing that may be minimized via cerebral function. Dan Duchaine has recommended using a weight such as to allow no fewer than 15 reps per set of any weight training workout judging from anecdotal reports and personal experience, this seems to be good advice. Low levels of ATP are a cause of muscle soreness in and of itself the additional factor of encumbered recovery mechanisms make extreme soreness (and if not careful, catabolism) quite possible.
Allergic Reactions ?€" These are highly individualized but may be summarily discussed. Various reactions are common with DNP use, and approximately 10% of users will be extremely allergic to it. Allergic reactions can include hives, blisters, and/or inexplicable rashes. If you suffer any of these side effects, and they are extremely bothersome, it is the recommendation of the author to cease usage immediately. If so desired, another trial may be made at a later date with a lower dosage, but do not attempt to continue the drug cycle at that point.
Carbohydrate Cravings - To counter this, some methods will be touched on later. As with most diets, willpower is sometimes the single most important factor.
Overheating - There is no upper limit to DNP's body temperature increase, meaning that one may literally "cook from the inside" if they take too much. Dosage considerations will be given later, but even an overdose of 4-6 times the recommended dosage may be lethal. Much smaller overdoses may result in damage to the brain and/or other body systems.
Carcinogenesis - Phenols in general are reputed to be carcinogenic. Although 2,4-dinitrophenol has never been implicated in a cancer diagnosis, some are nonetheless concerned, and understandably so. In addition to the inherent carcinogenic potential caused by its status as a phenol, production of free radicals and the release of various compounds stored in adipose tissue stores during DNP's rapid oxidation of fat may also potentially be harmful.
Death - This is self-explanatory and has occurred with several bodybuilders who chose to use this compound."I am my own worst enemy, the only voice left taunting me is my own."

I agree that losing half of yourself in 12 months might be a bit difficult to do, don't take drastic measures if you aren't on pace to do that after you start, just stay consistent and motivated. I also agree that it is ok to not be doing weight lifting right now, though some might suggest it, I think it is an alright idea to just do cardio for a while before you start a weightlifting routine.
The product sounds kind of dangerous, I'm in cell bio right now but not far enough into it to know how DNP works yet, rather than risking it, just staying consistent in diet and exercise is bound to help you lose."Sorry I didn't make it to the beauty pageant"

are you kidding? It's a chemical THAT WILL KILL YOU! I promise that is the truth you are not a pro builder you have no idea of proper dosages etc etc! Getting you hands on the drug is not worth the hassle you might as well just call your local pd and let them know that you are looking for some illegal drugs and they can book you a room!!!!
Not to be a dick but serious drugs are not for anybody to play with! Clen is a drug as well, it does work but can also cause some pain in the ass side effects. You seem to have no idea where to . Diet and hit the gym. Dont be the guy that says i bust my ass everyday and it gets me nothing. BUST YOUR ASS and with a spot on diet the weight will fall off you!
Cardio does not burn more! Weight lifting burns up to 48 hours after a hard session of lifting! DUDE do your homework meals 2-3 hours protein good carbs good fats, weights followed by cardio, lots of rest and you will be fine!
You guys kill me lol
You're so DNP - dramatic. It won't kill you, you do some research and tell me how many people have actually died due to the USE of dnp - and i guarantee you'll find a handful at best.
Sure, the OP should NOT use DNP, but guys give me a break. DNP is only dangerous when abused - just like all drugs. And yes, I've used DNP before.
You guys are probably the same people that say "OH PITBULLS ARE DANGEROUS!!" lmao
Like they're really born that way. O_o
Stop being dramatic. It's not necessary.
Edit: And to the guy above me --- no wonder you're in the red. DNP isn't illegal to possess, its only illegal for human consumption. It's not illegal to sell either. lmao you guys...geesh.
Edit#2: And to DrPayne ---- you're 19 and you've used DNP before....now you're saying it's not worth it. You obviously hadn't done the research to use it in the first place. DNP is great if used properly. But it's not miracle pill.
Diet and training is still a must. But the benefits are great. One can easily do a 200mg/day regime for 30 days and experience extreme results with very very very low side effects. <--Fact. (might have to up the dose a few days out of the month to assess tolerance)

My goodness, people feel very strongly about this lol! I really do appreciate all of the heartfelt advice but, like I said before, I was JUST trying to get more info on the drug; using it blindly was NEVER my intent. I am familiar with its properties and all the inherent dangers associated with it, just wanted to hear from people who had actually taken the jump and used it properly and safely to have a better picture of it all.
As for busting my ass, I AM putting in the hours, eating right and exercising, its only been a month so of course I cant complain that it hasnt been working (and I havent by the way, complained). I think if you read my first post entirely, you'd see where I was coming from.
To deadpool9, glen666, AWhislyle and everyone else.
Thanks for the support guys. I am going to stick to the old school way and I'm sure it'll probably make even sweeter when I reach that 100 mark. You've provided me with some really interesting info, I'll keep it all in mind :-D.

Syrian expatriates rally against foreign interference
Sun Sep 2, 2012 3:27PM
And in the southern Turkish city of Antakya, near the border with Syria, demonstrators slammed foreign meddling in the Syrian affairs. The protesters voiced their solidarity with the Syrian nation, and chanted slogans in condemnation of imperialism.A large number of Syrians also staged a protest rally in front of the US Embassy in Moscow to denounce Washington's policies against Damascus, and its attempts to exploit Syria's resources. Syria has been experiencing unrest since mid-March 2011, with many people, including a large number of security forces, killed in the turmoil. While the West and the Syrian opposition accuse the government of the killings, Damascus blames outlaws, saboteurs and insurgents for the unrest, insisting that it is being orchestrated from abroad.

Sky F1 pundit expected Button to be more upbeat about pace
Last Updated: 12/10/12 11:03am
While World Champion Sebastian Vettel set the session's fastest time, both Jenson Button and Fernando Alonso consistently lapped a few tenths quicker than either Red Bull when the teams ran their Sunday specs at the culmination of Friday's action.
However, Button cut a surprisingly subdued figure when speaking to Sky Sports F1 afterwards - an impression not lost on Davidson.
"I was surprised by his answers," said Anthony. "I felt that he felt he had the faster car during the long runs - his engineer even told him as much during those long runs - but then he says 'I've still got pace to find'.
"To me, that was quite bizarre. I thought he would be a lot more confident than that."
After back-to-back victories in Singapore and Japan, there is certainly no shortage of confidence inside the Red Bull camp. Perhaps ominously, Vettel's table-topping effort was set on the third lap of his qualy-simulation run when, in theory, his tyres were already past their prime.
"The Red Bulls are looking very strong in qualy trim. Vettel made two mistakes on his attempts and set his best time on at least his third lap - which is very worrying for the rest," Davidson told The F1 Show.
Red Bull themselves though have attempted to play down their pace relative to their rivals' on the opening day with Christian Horner telling The F1 Show that he was expecting a tight battle for pole and victory.
Asked by Ted Kravitz if he thought the team would be as strong as in Japan, the Team Principal replied: "I really have no idea. It's a circuit of two halves: the first half is power dominated and then the second half is coming back through all the corners.
"Hopefully we can be competitive. We looked okay today but we can see both Ferraris look quick here, Jenson looked quick as well and I'm sure Lewis [Hamilton] will be there as well. So I'm sure it's going to be very tight."

Chinese baby 'sold by doctor to traffickers' is returned to parents, Human Trafficking
Chinese baby 'sold by doctor to traffickers' is returned to parents
Chinese health authorities have promised an overhaul in hospitals across the country following the arrest of an obstetrician for allegedly selling newborns to human traffickers, state media reports.
Police in Fuping County in China's northwestern Shaanxi Province said that the doctor in question, Zhang Shuxia, had allegedly sold other babies to traffickers in the past. Police were investigating 10 similar cases at Fuping County Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital, where Zhang was deputy director of the maternity department, reported state-run CCTV.
The latest baby was returned to its parents amid emotional scenes on Monday, after its identity was confirmed through DNA testing. As family members wept, the parents knelt to thank police for recovering their son, the state-run China Daily reported.
Fuping County authorities said the baby boy had been allegedly sold for 21,600 yuan ($3,527) by Zhang on July 17, the day after he was born. The baby was then sold two more times in ten days.
Police said Zhang had allegedly told the child's parents, Dong Shanshan and Lai Guofeng, that their son had contracted syphilis through the mother, and convinced them to surrender the boy into her care, reported the state-run People's Daily.
But when the mother subsequently tested negative for syphilis, she grew suspicious and reported what had happened to police. The infant was eventually found in a good condition in a town in neighboring Henan Province Sunday.
Zhang and five other suspects have been detained on suspicion of human trafficking, reported Xinhua.
CCTV cited six other alleged trafficking cases involving Zhang dating back to 2006, including a pair of twins earlier this year. Health issues cited by Zhang in convincing the parents to surrender their children included heart problems, cerebral palsy and missing genitals.
It reported that most of the affected families hailed from the village of Xue in Fuping County -- the home of Zhang and her mother.
Another couple from the area told CCTV Zhang had convinced them to give up their baby son at the hospital in 2008, after telling them shortly after the birth that the infant had stopped breathing.
"The whole delivery was around 10 minutes, natural birth. And then she came out and told me that the baby wasn't breathing," recalled Dong Pengfei, the father. "I was overwhelmed by that time, and I didn't have second thoughts. But after that I've been thinking why she would refer to it as a 'kid' if it wasn't breathing."
"I couldn't stop crying ever since I gave birth to my boy," his wife told CCTV. "I feel like crying when I see kids from other families."
China's state health commission has called for severe punishment for those involved.
"(The commission's leadership) see it as morally degraded, illegal and intolerable," said Mao Qunan, spokesman for the National Health and Family Planning Commission.
The commission vowed to impose stricter management of medical services and implement stronger ethics training across the country to prevent similar cases.
