Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Carbon monoxide poisoning occurs as carbon monoxide mixes and binds with hemoglobin in the blood to form carboxyhemoglobin (COHb). When carbon monoxide binds to hemoglobin, less oxygen gets transported to body tissues and vital organs such as the brain and heart. The bond between carbon monoxide and hemoglobin is approximately 250 times stronger than the bond between oxygen and hemoglobin.

Iron plays a crucial role in the survival, differentiation, and myelin formation of oligodendrocyte lineages. However, the regulation mechanism of iron homeostasis in oligodendrocytes remains unclear. Recently, much research has focused on Ferroportin 1 (FPN1), an iron exporter protein. First, about 95% pure primary rat O-2A progenitor cells were obtained by shaking methods in our laboratory. The expression of FPN1 mRNA and protein in O-2A progenitor cells were determined by reverse transcription-PCR and western blot. In addition, the localization of FPN1 at the cell membrane, in the cytoplasm and in processes was assayed by double-labeling immunofluorescence. A time-dependent increase of iron efflux from O-2A progenitor cells was confirmed by the calcein-indicated iron efflux assay. However, the same cells treated with FPN1 antibody showed no obvious change in iron release. For further confirmation, overexpression of FPN1 in O-2A progenitor cells was transduced with lentivirus. The release of iron in O-2A progenitor cells was dramatically increased by the overexpressed FPN1 when compared with that of the control group. Both ferritin (Ft) and transferrin receptor (TfR) are routinely used as indicators of labile iron pool. Cells pretreated with FPN1 antibody upregulated Ft and downregulated TfR protein level, while the opposite results occurred in the FPN1 overexpressing cells. Determination of Ft and TfR indirectly indicated that FPN1 might contribute to iron release from O-2A progenitor cells. We suggested that expression of FPN1 in O-2A progenitor cells might play a critical role in iron efflux from these cells. Anat Rec, 2013. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Shelterbelt Extends Its Horizons
In Praise of Metro Public Art, Vol. 1
The Metro's major force in area public art funding and support, the Iowa West Foundation, has commissioned the estimable American artist Mark di Suvero to create a sculpture for Tom Hanafan River's Edge Park to add to Council Bluffs' impressive collection of such.
Di Suvero's international reputation is based upon his massive steel sculptures that challenge viewer expectations in a style of abstract...

5 Reasons why Google Chrome is Better than Firefox for Web Design
Back in 2008, this didn't matter a lot. People were straight when the browsers came. And the web browsers didn't quite mean a big thing or much. Now they are something where people can live without. It can be rephrased as ' It's an integral part of our lives'. There are many things we can compare between chrome and firefox.
Few things you need to know about chrome:
Back in 2008, the google chrome was released and was well known for design, was suitable for every minimalist users out there. And later on, it distinguished itself by leading itself with impressive features like HTML 5 support along with some impressice proprietary tricks. It was fast and reliable. But later on, in summer 2014 with loads of updates when compared to the old chrome and lost its title ' The fastest browser'. As time flied, the competition caught up and wonder what? It's the most downloaded browser in the world with 1 Billion + downloads.
Few things you need to know about firefox:
Talk about coding, you can hear firefox. Talk about hacking, you hear firefox. Talk about security, you hear firefox. Literally talking, firefox is better on paper in various perspectives. But when it comes to the various perspectives considered, chrome wins. But other than that, firefox has its own features that only few will understand.
Firefox is an open source browser whereas chrome isn't and as flexible as firefox.1.
1.) Platform support
Both the chrome and firefox supports various range of operating systems and platforms and here's the list supported by chrome and firefox:
- Apple Mac OS X
- Google Android (ARM, x86)
- iOS
- Linux
- Microsoft Windows
- Apple Mac OS X
- BSD Unix systems
- Google Android
- iOS
- Haiku
- Linux-based systems
- Microsoft Windows
2.) Performance
3.) Memory
On paper, chrome uses more memory than firefox. And firefox relatively starts using as more tabs are opened. And as the firefox uses separate process per tab it's memory usage increases as more and more tabs are opened which is something you can see in internet explorer kind of stuff which should not be compared here.
4.) Start up
Talking about the start up, chrome claims to have a faster startup time than firefox but literally saying, firefox has faster startup. This is due to the fact that firefox has more built in features than chrome. Chrome and firefox both tend to get slower with more usage and with more extensions installed in it. Which makes the browser slow when more extensions are installed.
5.) Security
When security comes, its firefox definitely without any other words. Because google tracks each and every move. When logged in to your account, no need to say at all. Everything will be tracked unless you turn it off. Even when you turn it off, there will be many things that will be tracked even without your knowledge.
Firefox can emulate the behavior of some of these features including URL presentation to make phishing more obvious and firefox executes plugins such as flash or java in a separate process so a crash will not take down the browser and an exploit has less to work with.
Whereas in chrome, it lacks the ability to encrypt saved passwords with a master password so that they are always stored unencrypted on disks. On linux chrome uses the system password itself to keyring which more safer than any other password encryption. Moreorver, Chrome donot have errors such as dns_probe_finished_no_internet like its counterparts.
This decision depends upon the way you use the browsers. Chrome is more polished , Firefox is more customizable. Google has put a lot of work in to ensure to provide the best possible experience you can find. It has made it look neat and feel more reliable and polished than just an average browser. Due to this, you get a great experience out of the box.
But this doesn't mean that firefox is bad. If you want the content to be more secured, firefox it is.
This argument can be continued on and on. But on my opinion, Chrome wins.

Help me find the droids I'm looking for.
I am a dedicated iPhone user. But I took advantage of T-mobile's free phone offer for my two children. Now they both have a Samsung On5, and I'm lost. [more inside]
Using social media without giving up control of my (Android) phone?
I don't like the amount of access to my (Android) phone most social media apps want, so I mostly use sites like Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Reddit, etc. through a browser, which greatly reduces their access to my identity and personal data. But the user interface for a mobile website usually sucks compared with a dedicated app. Is there a better way? Are there any good 3rd-party apps for accessing these social media sites that don't demand access to my entire phone?
Which unlocked phone to buy in the US for use in Israel?
I'd like to buy a phone for around $250 or less that I can use now as well as with a new SIM card from an Israeli carrier when I move there this fall. Would the Moto G4 Plus allow me to do that? Is that a decent option? An older iPhone? Other? I'm open to anything Android or iOS, as long as I can post to Instagram and play Pokemon Go. :)
Need a QR Code scanner app that doesn't suck, and can export to CSV
So, I've been tasked with finding an app my co-workers can install on their phones for an upcoming event to scan people's QR codes on their badges. My co-workers are generally not technical people, so it should be very easy to use. Must work on iOS and Android. [more inside]
My number will not work on Sprint/CDMA?
I recently switched from Verizon (CDMA) with a Moto-X to Ting (T-Mobile/GSM) with a Nexus 5. [more inside]
What are "essential" apps for a new smartphone owner?
Okay, so I don't like recurring monthly bills. I've had a TracFone flip phone for a few years but they're discontinuing 2G service. Their upgrade program allowed me to get an Android smartphone for a decent price, so I've done that. I really am not wanting to use the phone for much, but I would like it to at least be a bit more augmented than it currently is. What apps should I consider? [more inside]
Auto-nag time tracker for Android?
Looking for an Android app that will let me track my daily activities. Oops but here comes a special boy: instead of having to remember to start/stop a timer manually, I would like the app to ping me every 15 minutes (or some customizable interval) and ask me what I'm doing. [more inside]
What's a good kid-friendly stop-motion animation app for Android?
My 7-year-old is interested in using her Android tablet to make stop-motion animated videos. There are lots of apps out there that can help do this - which one do you recommend? [more inside]
Electronic keepsakes are hard to keep
Can you help me back up SMS messages stored in Hangouts on an old Android Nexus 5? Difficulty: I've entirely forgotten the passcode for this phone. [more inside]
Minecraft on an Android tablet for $200-ish... Can it be done?
My seven year old has saved an amazing $200. He'd like to get his own Android tablet that can handle Minecraft PE. Can this be done? Currently he uses my wife's iPad 2. But the lag is driving him nuts. Would a tablet in his price range be any better?
Marshmallow Google PLay Services Permissions Question
I didnt think Google Play services should be granted permission to my phone, SMS, biosensors etc on my new Samsung S7. So I switched them off . Now however, when I open a Google app (gmail, camera, Keep, etc) I get a warning pop-up stating that "Google Play Services requires all requested permissions to be enabled. Please click App Setting and review app permissions". I can click cancel and use the app just fine so far, but it is mighty annoying to have to click cancel every time. Assuming i dont want to root my phone, anything i can do about this? Now maybe google play services are totally above the board, but I would rahter not leave it to that as trust seems pretty misplaced these days.
A good JIRA Mobile Client?
Are any of the Android mobile clients for JIRA worth a darn? I'd like to both have a bit of a smoother browsing experience on the phone than is provided by the mobile site, and to be able to submit issues without a lot of pain. (If there were a version of OctoDroid for JIRA I'd be delighted.) Gobs & gobs of money might be an object, but small sums are not. Thanks!
Making the move to Android from Iphone today
Obviously lots of web resources to help novices make this move... Are there any guides people found really well done to help a real technophobe?
Android phone, take dictation! No, not a vacation!
I write best while I'm walking, and for an upcoming project I'd like to streamline this using some sort of speech-to-text word-processing setup on my Google Nexus phone. Google's native voice recognition in Docs hates my voice and produces only large paragraphs of semipunctuated gibberish. What app(s) + accessories setup will give me accurate, extended voice-to-text transcription with minimal oversight, ideally also with good punctuation functionality? [more inside]
Unlocked Android for use with French prepaid SIM
How functional are android phones, using wifi for data, and purchasing prepaid cell service for calls in France? Previouly I had the iPod Touch, which worked very well, all the apps were available and worked as expected. A used unlocked Blackberry Bold 9900 I purchased as a replacement turned out to be useless.

a very important question about instagram
Hello. Is there an app for android that will allow me to make layouts with multiple photos (like Layout), but split diagonally rather than vertically/horizontally? This is proving strangely difficult to find. Thanks!
Sick of missing appointments due to quite Android Calendar
I missed an appointment today as I didn't hear any of the FIVE alarms I had set in my phone, despite it being on the desk right beside me at the time. It seems Android's version of Google' Calendar's reminder sound is a meek little beep. My version is a klaxon. Is there a way to fix this? [more inside]

Alternatives After Sunrise Sunsets

Where to buy a smart ring in the San Francisco Bay Area?
I'd like to buy a smart (bluetooth, Android) ring for my BF for his birthday, which is only a couple of days away. Google shows a few websites selling these but no actual shops. Anyone know of a physical location where I could buy one of these? Thanks!
Files on my phone that my PC can't see
I have a 3rd generation Moto G with Android 6.0. When I connect it to my PC with a USB cable, there are files that exist on the phone - mp3's and photos - that are invisible to my PC. There are other mp3's and photos on the phone that are not invisible. Why can't my PC see these files? Is there a way to make them visible? Is there a faster way to move these invisible songs and photos from my phone to my PC than copying them to Google Drive and then downloading them? [more inside]
Current closet organization apps for Android?

Spin workout app
a new study proposes that a 10 minute sprint interval training (SIT) routine provides benefits comparable to a 45 minute moderate-intensity continuous training (MICT) routine when performed 3 times a week. I like to try it, but it would be way easier if I could find an app for my phone which would let me enter the time intervals and intensity levels for the routine, as there are 7 intervals in the routine, 3 of them lasting only 20 seconds. Anyone know of an android app which runs user defined, timed routines? All the spin apps I've found want me to pay for a predetermined class.
I do not have any voicemails, Android. SERIOUSLY.
I have a Nexus 5 running Android 6.01. I have a notification that will not clear that says I have 5 voicemails. I have zero voicemails. The internet is positively lousy with advice on how to fix this. Not a drop of it works. HALP.
Looking for sturdier Kindle 7" case that can keep screen higher
...and then fold back close when I'm done. My 1st gen tablet had a more stiff cover so the bottom half would support the kindle. I could watch movies at a higher eye level while on a treadmill or elliptical. [more inside]
Which cheap Android phone/plan should I use, to work for Amazon Flex?
I got my onboarding notice for Amazon Flex. I need to be able to take this job, as I'm barely scraping by, and this pays about double what I'm currently making. Stumbling block: it requires an Android phone, I have an iPhone. I need to get an Android, but I'm going to have to borrow money to get one. So I need to know how I can get the cheapest phone that will work, along with a cheap data plan. [more inside]
Android App for Filming One-a-Day Stop Motion?
So I was thinking about doing one of those take-one-picture-a-day time lapse videos, but I wanted to also make it a stop motion video too. I'm kind of hoping that there's an Android app that would help me do this. So I'm going to describe what I think the perfect features would be for such a project, and hopefully someone will tell me if there's anything even remotely close to this. [more inside]
Quiet, cross-platform, local multiplayer phone games?

Why is my Android phone so slow?
I have an HTC One M8 (on Verizon), and it's exhibiting a number of strange problems. Over time, my phone has gotten slower and slower, to the point of occasionally becoming completely unresponsive. It's also developed a habit of spontaneously rebooting itself. Performing a factory reset or upgrading the OS seems to fix both of these problems for about a month, before they start creeping back. More details inside. I'm primarily interested in tracking down why this is happening, and identifying the root cause so I can make it stop forever. Technical answers/explanations are welcome.

Why is Gmail refusing to quote the text of the email I'm replying to?
Weird problem started showing up recently. I'm using Gmail on Android and it isn't including (quoting) the text of the email that I'm replying to. I've checked the box to do so, and the quoted text even shows when I'm composing the email, but then it isn't actually included when the email gets sent (only what I wrote is sent). What the heck?
Help me pick out an Android TV Box
I'm tired of having to reset my Netflix geo-unblocker constantly. I'm thinking of getting an Android TV Box. I don't know much about these, so though I can read the specs, I don't know how to pick one out. Which box should I get? [more inside]

Can I turn my phone into a weather station?
I have a gen 1 Moto G. It works fine, but the screen is heavily cracked (although still usable). I want to turn it into something that will tell me and also show me the weather conditions at the location it's sited at. Is this a thing that can be done? [more inside]

Reliable Android Smartphone?
Ms. Zombiedance's Samsung Galaxy SIII has recently died, and she's looking to replace it. She was happy with the Galaxy up until it stopped working, but the fact that it lasted only 3 years makes her hesitant to buy another Samsung (say, a newer Galaxy). Are there significant differences in reliability among Android phone brands, and if so, are there particular brands/models that are more reliable? [more inside]
View two parts of one PDF at once
I am looking for apps that will let me take handwritten notes in a file/on a PDF and also view two different (arbitrary) parts of those notes/PDFs at the same time. I need this functionality on a Samsung Galaxy Note 8, a Mac running OSX, and an iPad Pro. [more inside]
Have no money, need roboceptionist.
I'm looking for an app (iOS or Android or webapp, no preference) that displays the names (and ideally pictures) of the six people that work in my office, and when a name is tapped, an email is automatically sent alerting the person that they have a visitor. And it needs to be free. Explanations within. [more inside]
Anyone know of a replacement for Pulse (news app) on Android?
The new version is very different, all the recommendations I've found just don't work the way I like...various RSS readers mostly. Looking for something that has minimal tapping and swiping while being headline and source dense. The old version was a big grid. There was a similar question last year here but it was for iOS.

Programming Language for a Product Manager
My career has always been on the peripheral of more technical roles and I've excelled without getting to code-specific knowledge but in my job search everyone seems to want a product manager who can use code, even if it's not part of their job. What language should I learn? [more inside]
Why do these Android apps ignore my rotation settings?
Certain Android games ignore my OS-level screen rotation settings and will, at the drop of a hat, switch to portrait mode from landscape, often only momentarily before flipping back to landscape. Fallout Shelter and Adventure Capitalist are the worst, and will do this even while the phone is completely motionless and either lying flat or propped up in landscape orientation, while Bloons TD5 will, again without any provocation, flip to portrait and then instantly back to landscape. This occurs regardless of whether screen rotation is enabled and is extremely obnoxious. What gives? Can this be prevented?
Spatial Self-Mapping for the Scatterbrained
I am designing a project for about 10-20 undergraduate students (mostly traditional students but some non-traditional) where each will be asked to track their movements for a couple of weeks. Is there an easy, secure, mobile app for both Android and iPhone that will provide consistent location data in a reasonable format? Preferences would be for an app that doesn't drain the battery and one that allows you to set the interval for recording points. Nice but not critical would be some kind of reminder to record what they were doing at that time. [more inside]
I've switched to Android. Help me fix the one (really) annoying glitch.
A friend gave me his Moto X (with Android 5.1) to try out indefinitely. I'm glad I've made the switch (and I'm wondering why it took so long). However, there is one annoying glitch with the screen that keeps happening and is nearly a deal breaker. [more inside]
I need a new phone, and I need help deciding which Android to get.
I have a DROID Mini that I need to replace. I like the back button on the left and the active display, so I am leaning towards a Motorola phone. I am on Verizon, so that limits my choices. I want a good battery, decent camera, durability and price <$400. I mostly use my phone for email, text, web surfing, photos. I am nervous about buying a used phone since I plan to keep it for 2-3 years. I do not like the huge phones, but that seems to be the only option. I definitely need to be able to use it one-handed. What do you recommend? [more inside]
Android game filter: game with blocks and numbers...?
The blocks are pushed up every so often. The blocks are all non-descriptively gray, except some of the ones on top are colorful and have numbers. At the top, it shows what the next block dropped will be, and you can click on the column to drop it on. Then, depending on some unknown (to me) rules, the blocks will disappear, sometimes multiple groups of blocks will disappear in a chain reaction. Sometimes this will cause some previously gray and unnumbered blocks to now be colorful and numbered. [more inside]

If you've ever found somebody making a lot of passive income but couldn't figure out how they were doing it, then there is a good chance that they were using affiliate websites. A number of marketers are making lots of money because they're creating hundreds of small websites and generating passive monies from them. I was looking for online income reports and found Cloud Fortunes 2015 August Online Income Report. He talks a lot about the income that he makes from Amazon and stuff.
The reality is that it isn't too difficult to get started in this business. One of the best ways to do it is to listen to a mentor. You need to find someone who's already doing what you want to do and get a guide from them. This is highly beneficial because you'll be able to skip the learning curve. You can start making your affiliate sites and begin profiting within a few months. Choose the best examples of affiliate sites and run with them. Once you've found some great affiliate site examples, you can get the most out of them. We read the post Can You Rank Affiliate Niche Sites In Google In 2016? It's on the website Cloud Fortunes, and he talks a lot about Amazon stuff.
You have to understand that these things don't happen overnight, and affiliate marketing can be a long process. In fact, it can take several months before you start to see decent results. If you want to succeed doing this business, then you should know that actions that you take now won't provide fruit until some time has passed.
A major part of creating small affiliate sites is the time involved. You have to understand that you could end up spending several months before you see some tangible results.
This is the problem with many of today's marketers. They want to have everything now and don't want to put in the work to reap the benefits later. We recommend spending as much time as possible getting into the basics and delivering great product reviews.
When you're making amazon affiliate websites, you want to make sure that the product reviews are very helpful. If they're not very helpful, then you won't get the results that you're looking for. The good news is that it's very easy to make a review helpful. All that you need to do is spend some time making sure the reader gets some value from the content.
Providing Value with Product Reviews
The best way to make sure the reader gets some value is to actually review the product yourself. If you don't purchase and review the products, then you'll never really know what products are best. This is especially true when you're making smaller websites.
The goal of these websites is to look into the reviews and find the information that suits the reader. You should create many different sites and see which sites do the best. It's not very difficult, but it can take some time.

Spicy tofu noodles (gluten-free + vegan) + exciting news!
And just like that, the summer holidays are over. The kids are back at school, the house is quiet, the dishes are done and I have a spare moment to myself to gather my thoughts and write up this surprisingly delicious recipe. I say surprising because well, sometimes when you are inspired by dishes that traditionally use meat as the main ingredient and fish sauce as the seasoning and you go adding in tofu and soy sauce in it's place, lets just say things don't always turn out quite as you'd hoped.
This on the other hand, totally worked. As it was coming together I was happy enough with the flavours, even the 8 year old agreed! We sat down and ate dinner and it was only after I'd polished off my plate that I realised just how much I really did love it. So, being the food blogger that I am, I plated up another portion, stepped outside in the fading light and managed to snap a few quick, completely un-styled, but totally honest and real photos of this dish so I could share the recipe with you...
You guys already know the soft spot I have for noodles, of any kind, but this saucy little number has heat, texture and a beautiful depth of flavour thanks to the fermented tofu which I decided to add at the last minute. I know I'll be making them again, soon.
Spicy tofu noodles
I actually used half this amount of chilli so my kids would eat it too, but then added some of my homemade sriracha sauce on mine when I ate it to make mine hotter! You can find fermented tofu at your local Asian grocer in small jars, often with chilli. It stores indefinitely in the fridge once opened and adds a beautiful depth of flavour to vegetarian Asian dishes. If you're hardcore like my mother-in-law, you can also just eat it as is with rice. I cooked about 1/2 a packet of thin rice noodles which served 4 (just follow the instructions on the pack), any leftovers will happily store in the fridge for a few days.
Serves 4
3 tablespoons olive or peanut oil
1 onion, finely diced
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
2 teaspoons finely grated ginger
3 large tomatoes, finely chopped
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon chilli powder
300g firm tofu, crumbled
3 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
1 tablespoon fermented tofu* see headnotes
1 teaspoon unrefined raw sugar
cooked rice noodles, to serve
chopped roasted peanuts and finely sliced spring onion (scallion), to serve
Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic and ginger and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring, until tender and golden. Add tomatoes, tomato paste, turmeric and chilli and stir well. Cook 2-3 minutes or until the tomatoes start to break down, add 1/2 cup water and continue to cook for 10 minutes. Stir in tofu, soy sauce, fermented tofu and sugar. Add another 1/4-1/2 cup water if the mixture is looking a tad dry and season well with fine sea salt. Cook for a further 5 minutes, stirring well to dissolve the fermented tofu throughout the dish. Serve tofu hot or cool to room temperature and serve with cooked rice noodles, peanuts and sliced spring onions. Leftovers are just as good cold...
Inspired by a recipe for Shan Khaut Swe (Burmese spicy chicken noodles) found in the current issue of SBS Feast magazine.

The Quest Study Bible doesn't go as deep. I think it's perfect for someone who is just beginning to study the Bible and has lots of questions like those that are answered in the Quest Study Bible. However, that's not to say that I already know all the answers to those questions! ;-o It just doesn't go much deeper than those questions.
I have in front of me the NIV Study Bible and the Life Application Bible NIV. They are both excellent - either one would go deeper into the Word than the Quest Study Bible.
The obvious differences to me are as follows:
Text The Life Application Bible (LAB) has the text straight across the page - the NIV Study Bible has the two-column layout. I think I prefer the two-columns. It is easier to get through some of those Old Testament books such as 1/2 Chronicles! ;-o However, this is very much a matter of personal preference.
Notes The notes, while excellent in both Bibles, are different in tone. The NIV Study Bible notes are very objective and purely informational. One of the downsides to the LAB, for me anyway, is that sometimes the notes in the LAB get rather preachy and sometimes go far afield of the text. I'm not saying asking personal applications is a bad thing, but if you're doing a lot of reading in that Bible, it might get to be a bit much. The tone of the notes is is the reason I gave this Bible 4 stars instead of 5! A note might ask "Do you believe that God can help you?Read more ›
This bible is rich with maps so it is easy to see where the stories are located, how far journeys last and things like that. There are also summaries of the main characters and their roles in the stories -- a biblical "Cliff's notes" of sorts. Be careful though, as you might expect, your interpretation of a character's purpose in the story may be a bit different from that of the authors.
This is a great bible. Its ease of use has allowed me to increase my bible reading, without sacrificing accuracy or relevance to the original text. I can read more at one sitting without getting worn down pondering the meaning of Old English text.
One note of warning, however, an accurate, modern English translation of the 23rd Psalm (Ie. The Lord is my shepard, I shall not want. etc.,) falls absolutely flat. He doesn't "lay me down by still waters." He only "leads me by peaceful streams." Where the poet who wrote the King James bible would say "He restoreth my soul" this bible says He only "renews my strength." Yet, the care which is evident in other parts of the translation -- at least to a layman like me -- leads me to believe this is the more accurate translation, even if it is less poetic.
Enjoy this bible. It has become my friend.
But that's nothing compared with what you get: a set of concise book, event, and character outlines that are unmatched in current Bible publishing. The point of the LASB is to relate the Bible to our lives today, and not the way we lived 400 or even 2000 years ago; in other words, LASB's goal is to make the Bible directly relevant to its reader. It certainly succeeds.
Perhaps its least noticed but best feature is its one-column text format, giving the reader full verses. The poetry of the Psalms and within the prophetic books is retained and in metered format to distinguish it from prose and didactic sections. Loaded with footnotes explaining not only the what, where, who, but the why. The editors tell you WHO James is, and who his brother is, and give you hints to distinguish him from other Jameses. Each book is set up with an introduction, along with a "blueprint" model that gives the major themes of the book; a separate "megathemes" (meta is the proper word) section lays out the thematic significance of the book with explanation; and finally a "vital statistics" section that gives a quickview of the book's setting, key people, purpose, etc. The maps in the back are quite good, too.
So there's no reason you won't want this Bible, even as a supplement to more scholarly bibles like the New Revised Standard Version Oxford Annotated Edition. I highly recommend it.

Twenty years ago, when John and Thomas Knoll launched the first photo manipulation program they didn't imagine it would eventually lead to what Photoshop is today. Aside from enhancing a photo, correcting light and color, Photoshop is also excessively used in altering people's appearances, which raises a series of questions. First of all, why is it ok to alter a photo of a scenery and not one of a model? The sensitive answer would be because a tree will never look at another tree in a magazine and feel inferior, ugly, fat or develop body image issues and eating disorders. Secondly, what means to excessively photoshop a person? The moment in which a fifty-six year old woman looks twenty-something on the cover of magazines, Photoshop has been taken too far. When models claim they look almost nothing like their reflection in the glossy magazines, a sign of alarm should be raised. In today's world, when most consumerists know that the pictures they see in magazines are altered and they no longer represent real models, people should ask themselves, is there a point to it anymore?
The most frequent use of Photoshop is in order to sell something: an image, or one of the most common uses, a miracle product. Industries count on the naivety of the people to sell their products through both altered images and false advertising. Girls see pictures of impossibly skinny women next to miracle weight loss products, women see photoshopped pictures of an incredibly young looking Madonna next to anti-aging products and they believe it. Another example which is not related to miracle products is the advertising for the fast food industry. Have you ever received a Big Mac that looked exactly like the one in the pictures? I haven't. In a world where there are so many laws against theft and treachery, why do we still give these industries the power to trick us into buying products that will never work the way they falsely claim they do?
The first law to protect the consumer against manipulation came into effect in Israel on the first of January 2013. The "Photoshop Law", as people call it, states that when a picture is altered in any way, the magazine or whatever media outlet publishes it, must clearly mention that it is not the original picture and several modifications have been made in order for it to look like that. That way, less informed people who are not so much aware of what happens in the "backstage" of the fashion and advertising world can think for themselves.
While I am not saying that people don't generally think for themselves, I believe that they are quite easy to manipulate. Regardless of age or level of education, when it comes to striving to be better or even perfect, people put their hopes in falsely advertised products, which makes them a lot more gullible. From miracle weight loss pills to hair growth solutions, there are products targeted at every gender or age group, leaving none of us safe from manipulation and even possible scams. Unfortunately, there is no way (at least for now and the foreseeable future) that a law could ban photo manipulation, at least when it comes to advertising, completely. However, if more and more countries would adopt the Israel "Photoshop Law", the mass of the population would be aware of what is really going on in the advertising industry and, consequently, would be harder to manipulate. That would be crucial especially in raising awareness among older people. It's easy for teenagers to realize that what they see is most likely not going to be what they get when they have access to the internet and can search for reviews, inside stories and real testimonials, but what about the older population, who are the targeted audience of print press, magazines and the television? You will never see a newspaper or a TV show mention a disclaimer before or after promoting a product, confessing that the result pictures are photoshopped and it is most likely that the product will not miraculously fix their bald pates.
Another issue tackled by the "Photoshop Law" is concerning how the excessive manipulation raises unhealthy body image issues especially among young women. The law says that no model with a body mass index lower than 18.5 can walk on the runway. Most models are naturally slimmer than your average woman, but media considers that they should be even skinnier. Women in fashion editorials are photoshopped to perfection and that wouldn't be a bad thing if girls treated them as what they really are: beautiful pictures. Girls look at the images glossy magazines provide as real and treat unrealistic beauty standards as guidelines to what they should look like. While this beauty standard acts as a motivating factor for some to live a healthier lifestyle, to eat better and to work out more in order to look better, it's also what causes something as serious and dangerous as eating disorders. One might think that only some people would fall into such vicious circles, but as of recent studies, anorexia is one of the three most common eating disorders which affects teenagers.
In this case, even people who work in the media industry and are aware of how the excessive photoshopping works are still affected and strive to achieve the unrealistic beauty standards. There are dozens of models who have died from starvation, including eighteen year old Eliana Ramos and Anna Carolina Reston aged twenty one. If the media was a person, I would be very interested to know how the fact that such young people put their lives at risk and in some cases,even throw it away, makes it feel. While facing facts, unfortunately, we realize that the media actually is formed by hundreds of people who perpetuate these unhealthy standards while feeling no remorse at all. Last month, Australian magazine "Famous", put model Kendall Jenner on their cover and claimed she is "too fat for the runway" and that she should "lose eight kilos". Kendall, who weighs 54 kgs at 178 centimeters, is anything but too fat for the runway, so to make their story more plausible, they intentionally photoshopped cellulite on her thighs.
In a world where most media outlets do nothing but objectify and raise impossible beauty standards for women, it is important that there are laws which try to protect and prevent more unhealthy body issues from appearing, such as the Israel "Photoshop Law".Excessive photoshopping does not only affect models and young people, unfortunately. There are several editorials and pictorials with older protagonists which at least raised some questions, if not even caused protests.
Madonna's "Interview Magazine" editorial is one of the few that stayed with me for a long time after seeing it. The article consisted of 16 more or less half naked pictures of the singer, and as Dlisted.com put is best, "Here's A Whole Lot Of Photoshop That Sort Of Resembles Madonna Courtesy Of Interview Magazine". The first question that popped in my head, and I bet I am not the only one, is why would you make a beautiful fifty-six year old woman look like an artificial twenty-eight year old? If you take a look at the pictures, you can see that everything is retouched: her skin, her eyes, her body shape, even her hair. There is not a single bit of Madonna that was not retouched and after researching further, this is not an isolated case: all magazines make Madonna look thirty at most. For the ones who realize it's all Photoshop, the only issue that stands is, why do retouchers still do it? We all know she was born in 1958, we all know that there is no way she could look like that. We have all seen paparazzo photos and we have proof that neither does her skin look that perfect, nor her hair, nor her body. So for us, the question that still stands is: if the illusion is broken, do we need Photoshop anymore?
When editing or manipulating images with the help of Photoshop, people should bare in mind both questions of ethics and aesthetics. Ethics are a set of rules created by man, meant to help him to morally distinguish good from bad, to help men make the right decisions in certain situations. Each workplace has its own sets of rules, the same way each person has his or her own set of moral values. Aesthetics are also a set of principles that deal with the nature of beauty, art and taste. They dictate what is viewed as beautiful, as pleasing to the eyes of the viewer.
In today's world, there is almost nothing you can't do when manipulating a photo. An important issue to think about when doing so is, when does the pursuit of aesthetics violate our moral codes, our ethics? When the images we create and promote are in part the cause of so many people's unhappiness, isn't that a sign of alarm? Isn't causing issues as serious as eating disorders and mental illnesses wrong? People need to realize that their greed and well-being is not more important than the health of the ones they lie to and manipulate.
A little bit of Photoshop never hurt anybody. Some color and light correction, removing a few blemishes and imperfections indeed make a photo more beautiful and appealing, but it needs to stop there. With the help of Photoshop, today's media is able to falsely advertise products, manipulate the masses and create unrealistic body image standards that help fill their bank accounts and crush self esteems. It is high time excessive photoshopping called it a day and for the media to deliver real, unaltered beauty.
