Hong Kong Stocks Play Catch-Up With Shanghai Share Gains
Hong Kong stocks rose, chasing gains in Chinese shares after a two-day holiday, as a report showed profit at mainland industrial companies rose.
Guangzhou R&F Properties Ltd., a builder in the southern Chinese city, rose 0.8 percent. China National Building Material Co., a cement maker, gained 0.5 percent amid speculation the government's urbanization plan will support demand. Shipmaker China Rongsheng Heavy Industries Group Holdings Ltd. tumbled 7.4 percent after saying it may report a full-year loss.
The Hang Seng Index gained 0.4 percent to close at 22,619.78. About three stocks advanced for each that fell on the 50-company measure, with volume 29 percent below the 30-day average. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index of mainland companies increased 0.7 percent to 11,348.50 The Shanghai Composite Index gained 2.8 percent in the two days through yesterday.
"The A-share market was doing good while Hong Kong was in holiday for two days and that's stimulating the market," said Linus Yip, chief strategist at First Shanghai Securities in Hong Kong. "Hong Kong remains firm. But it already surged a lot in the past two to three months because of hot money coming in. There may be some profit taking but the selling pressure isn't too strong."
Hong Kong's benchmark index advanced 22 percent this year through Dec. 24 as central banks from Europe, the U.S. and Japan announced asset purchases.
The city's de facto central bank bought more than $13 billion to defend the local currency's peg to the U.S. dollar since the U.S. Federal Reserve began a third round of so-called quantitative easing. The Hong Kong dollar strengthened as investors poured stimulus-driven funds, "hot money," into the city.
Relative Value
Shares on the measure traded at 11.9 times average estimated earnings yesterday, compared with 13.7 for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and 12.7 for the Stoxx Europe 600 Index, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Chinese industrial companies' profits rose in November. Net income gained 22.8 percent from a year earlier to 638.5 billion yuan ($102 billion), the National Bureau of Statistics said today in Beijing. Profits gained 20.5 percent in October.
Real estate companies and makers of building materials gained on government plans to boost development in smaller cities. Guangzhou R&F rose 0.8 percent to HK$12.98, while Shimao Property Holdings Ltd., a developer that gets all its revenue from China, advanced 1.3 percent to HK$14.52.
Smaller Cities
China National Building Material gained 0.5 percent to HK$11.38 and Anhui Conch Cement Co., China's biggest maker of the construction ingredient, climbed 0.4 percent to HK$28.30.
China's largest cities including Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou will limit population under a new urbanization plan, while smaller cities and towns will loosen controls on residency, the Shanghai Securities News reported, citing an unidentified person. Urbanization is expected to spur 40 trillion yuan of investment by 2020, the Southern Metropolis Daily reported on Dec. 25, citing a draft plan by the National Development and Reform Commission on urbanization.
China Rongsheng Heavy was among companies that dropped on disappointing earnings forecasts. The shipbuilder dropped 7.4 percent to HK$1.25 after forecasting its first annual loss in four years.
Yuanda China Holdings Ltd., a curtain-wall maker, and frozen juice maker China Tianyi Holdings Ltd. dropped after saying they expect lower full-year profit. Yuanda slid 8 percent to 92 Hong Kong cents, while China Tianyi sank 1.7 percent to HK$1.16.
Futures on the Hang Seng Index climbed 0.5 percent to 22,666. The HSI Volatility Index gained 5.7 percent to 16.81 indicating traders expect a swing of 4.8 percent for the equity benchmark in the next 30 days.

Tax Competition and Partial Coordination
To determine the welfare effects of tax coordination, it is often assumed that one tax is jointly increased and all other policy instruments are held constant. This paper, in contrast, analyzes partial coordination in the sense that each country can still adjust another tax, which is not subject to coordination. In a model with capital and labor taxation, we show that under plausible assumptions the welfare effect of coordinating the capital tax only is then still nonnegative. For a partial coordination of the labor tax, however, the results become ambiguous and depend on the labor-supply elasticity.

"Let us run with endurance the race that lies before us." Hebrews 12:1
April 30, 2003, will always be a day that sticks out to me as a reminder of God's goodness. After five years of severe headaches, it was discovered I had a brain tumor. Not just any tumor but a golf-ball sized tumor creating ten pounds of pressure on my brain. Doctors literally found it just in time, surgery was performed, and I recovered well with no problems whatsoever. Everything seemed to fall into place as the Lord worked out every detail, even things I didn't even think of. I still am amazed at all God has done for me.
Since 2006 I have run three marathons: San Francisco, Chicago, and Kansas City, and I ran the half marathon in Atlanta in 2010.
For those of you who may not know, a marathon is 26.2 miles. A marathon takes months of training, hard work, time, and determination! Now you might be asking, Why on earth would anyone want to run a marathon? Well, let me give you my reason—it's more than running a marathon, I am running it for a cause!
Not many people are familiar with the disease Neurofibromatosis, also known as NF. This disease attacks the nervous system and causes tumors in or on the body at any time or place. I was born with NF, and one of the reasons I run is to raise money for a cure. (Currently there is no cure for NF.) Check out my story at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i35LwrbvqAs
If you want to make a donation to help find a cure for NF, send you donations to:
Children's Tumor Foundation95 Pine Street - 16th floorNew York, NY 10005
Thank you, and the Lord bless you!

"Let us run with endurance the race that lies before us."
Although born with Neurofibromatosis (NF), I am training for my 4th marathon! You heard right! That's 26.2 miles times 4!

Athlete: Peyton Manning
Team: Denver Broncos
Position: Quarterback
College: Tennessee
Remarks: Peyton Manning is the Super Bowl MVP from Super Bowl XLI as well as being named to the NFL 2000s All-Decade Team. He has won the AP NFL MVP in 2003, 2004, 2008, 2009, and 2013. He has a long list of NFL records including most passing yards in a season and most touchdown passes in a season.
The Peyton Manning - Fathead Jr: This Peyton Manning - Fathead Jr features an action image of Manning scanning the field for an open receiver just like a REAL.BIG. but in about half the size (measuring at 11"W x 32"H). Since it's from Fathead, this small Peyton Manning wall decal is removable and reusable without leaving residue on your walls or peeling paint. You even get a bunch of additional Denver Broncos decals that are licensed by the NFL, so you can put on doors, fridges, windows, tables, dorm rooms, anywhere they fit. The Peyton Manning - Fathead Jr makes a great complement to REAL.BIG. Fathead wall decals and stand outs in any Denver Broncos room or as the focal point for your smaller space in need of Broncos decor.
What It's Made Of: This Fathead Jr. Wall Graphic is a high definition image made of tough high-grade vinyl that's tear and fade resistant, so you can be assured your eye catching Fathead will stay strong. And if the thought of taking down your Fathead makes you tremble, worry no more, because it uses a low-tack adhesive that can be easily moved and reused without any damage to your wall. As if it couldn't get any better, your Fathead comes with free separate smaller images (made of the same stuff) to go with your awesome new wall graphic.
Suggested Uses: We know once you've got your brand new, authentic Fathead, you'll be so excited that you'll want to stick it to the first wall you see. But stop for a just a minute and make sure you apply it to a clean, smooth, interior surface, your Fathead loves them and you'll love the way it sticks. We recommend putting it somewhere where everyone can see it since there's no better way to tell everyone you're a fan. Fathead Juniors are the perfect fan decor for smaller spaces such as doors, fridges, windows, desks, tables, dorm rooms or any other interior area with a smooth, clean surface.
Where Not To Stick It: So we've told you where to put your Fathead but we haven't told you where not to. Fatheads do not like textured or bumpy surfaces, it may stick at first but it will likely not stay there for very long. Lastly, you don't want your Fathead to stick to itself becuase your Fathead will not let go without a fight.

According to Howard Gardner, adolescents and adults reflect eight different intelligences, all differing in value in American culture. Gardner's work has opened the door to a school of thought that encourages and accepts varying types of intelligence and to foster improvement on these skills in the classroom. Oftentimes, standard classrooms reward specifically linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligences.With Gardner's theory, teachers can reward all intelligences in order to encourage a career path in the child's most fitting intelligence field. Considering adolescents are beginning their career path, Gardner's work is especially important to guide teens into a field they will excel in.
Below are the eight different intelligences that Gardner identified in his research:
|Example of Behavior:
|Ability to control one's body skillfully
|Plays sports, can learn dance routines
|Ability to notice subtle aspects of other people's behaviors
| Perceiving mood of others, detecting unspoken thoughts
|Awareness of one's own feelings, motives, and desires
| Using self-knowledge to relate to others,
understanding emotions and their differences
|Ability to use language effectively
| Writes effectively, gives persuasive speeches and arguments
|Ability to reason logically, especially in mathematics and science
|Solves math problems quickly, creates and tests hypotheses easily
|Ability to create, comprehend, and appreciate music
|Playing an instrument, reading music, defining pitch
|Ability to recognize patterns in nature and differences among natural objects and life-forms
| Able to detect flavor differences, identify different species, classifying natural forms
|Ability to notice details of what one sees and to imagine and manipulate visual objects in one's mind
| Draws realistically, sees things and learns visually
Daily educational planning and home-learning activities should encourage all 8 different types of intelligence. For example, in addition to a math lesson, consider adding a creative project such as a collage that can connect back to classroom learning. By making activities like art, cooking, and exercise mandatory for all students, it is more likely that the student will find their best-fitting intelligence. Although it is difficult to sway away from activities that focus around logical-mathematical and linguistic intelligences due to state standard expectations, try to create time where students can exercise their different intelligences.

News American Beauty
posted by May 27 at 10:56 AMon
And it don't stop…
Perugia, May 27 - The defenders of Lumumba Diya, known as Patrick, will now "defend him as offended party, presumably denouncing Amanda Knox for slander. After 7 months the musician from Zaire is no longer suspected of the murder of the British Meredith Kercher in Perugia last November, as established by investigating judge Claudia Matteini signing the closure of file. Lawyers Carlo Pacelli and Giuseppe Sereni are pleased with this fact and announced they will ask for compensation for unjust detention. Lumumba Diya was arrested in November, five days after the murder, together with Raffaele Sollecito and Amanda Knox. The American student had indicated the musician and manager of the pub 'Le Chic' in the centre of Perugia as possible murderer. Lumumba kept claiming to be innocent giving the investigators an alibi (he said he was in his pub the whole night, and brought witnesses of this, some coming from outside Umbria), but stayed in the prison of Capanne for two weeks until November 20 (the day Rudy Guede was arrested in Germany), after which he was released for lack of evidence.
Enter the scandihooligan:
A new suspect has emerged in the murder case of Meredith Kercher, the British student murdered in a frenzied attack in Perugia last November.
Witnesses have said that a man was seen near the scene of the crime covered in blood and screaming: I killed her, I killed her.
He is described as blond with blue eyes, aged about 30, and wearing a fleece decorated with the Norwegian flag and a white woollen hat. Paramedics who found him wandering around, dazed, say that his hands, clothes and shoes were all bloody.
The emergence of another suspect raises further questions about the police investigation.
The murder of Meredith Kercher is a hole that only knows how to be a hole. It knows no end.

Acoustic guitar strings are available in a variety of gauges ranging from extra light to heavy. Typically, string sets are named after the lightest string in the pack; 011s, for example, contain a 011 gauge for the 1st (high-E) string and are labelled "Custom Light: 011/052". 011 gauge acoustic guitar strings are among the lightest available and are excellent for beginners because they are very easy to play and bend. This section is loaded with string sets that feature the 011 gauge; from Martin to D'Addario to Elixir, all the big brands can be found here.
For a better idea of which 011 gauge acoustic guitar strings are best for you, it helps to understand the sound characteristics of the various materials used in their creation. Phosphor bronze strings are among the most popular; they are favored for their dark, warm tone and the phosphor itself adds to their durability. There are many top-selling phosphor bronze string choices here, including the D'Addario EJ26 Phosphor Bronze Custom Light Acoustic Guitar Strings. Designed with computer-controlled wrapping around a hex core, these strings are consistent and long-lasting.
Aluminum bronze strings are another option to consider - this string type produces very crisp highs and pronounced lows and exceptional clarity. Need a suggestion? Go with the Ernie Ball Aluminum Bronze Light Acoustic Guitar Strings. Crafted from a blend of aluminum and copper, these strings have greater projection compared to other string sets of a similar gauge.
Now for all you technically-proficient finger players and folk guitarists, silk and steel strings are the way to go. They have a soft, delicate sound, and the Martin 1400 Marquis Silk and Steel Custom Acoustic Guitar Strings are a perfect example of this material type. In addition to their amazing tone, these strings have silk-wrapped ball ends to reduce wear on the bridge and bridge plate (ideal for valuable, vintage acoustic guitars).
And there are many other string sets with the 011 gauge, including nickel-plated steel and polymer-coated strings - so have a look around. Sets that contain 011 gauge acoustic guitar strings are very common on today's music market, so you'll have no problem finding a pack that suits your tastes and playing style.

Engineering Program
Download the Engineering Major Handout
Franklin College maintains a cooperative "3+2" program with the Purdue University School of Engineering and Technology at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). Students in this program earn a B.A. degree from Franklin College in Applied Mathematics and a B.S. degree from Purdue University in one of three engineering fields in the span of five years.
The engineering degrees available through this program are:
- Computer Engineering (B.S.Cmp.E.)
- Electrical Engineering (B.S.E.E.)
- Mechanical Engineering (B.S.M.E.)
Students pursuing one of the above Engineering degrees will declare a major in Applied Mathematics and follow that degree program as stated in the catalog.
Students following the 3+2 program will be required to make certain selections in their liberal arts core and for major courses currently listed as electives in order to satisfy the engineering requirements at IUPUI.
For students intending on pursuing Computer, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering degrees and who are therefore majoring in Applied Mathematics:
- The courses indicated in the tables above satisfy the "12 additional credit hours" requirement for the major as well as the Natural Science category course requirement for the liberal arts core.
- CMP 130 (Introduction to Computing) and PDP 200 (Professional Development) are both waived as requirements for the Applied Mathematics degree for students in the engineering program.
- INT 261/SNT 489 may be satisfied by an internship in engineering done through IUPUI if the student chooses.

Japan Stocks Gain on Stimulus, Machine Orders
Japanese stocks climbed, with the Nikkei 225 Stock Average reaching its highest in two weeks, on speculation policy makers in the U.S. and China will announce plans to stimulate the world's largest economies and as machinery orders in Japan beat expectations.
Fanuc Corp., Japan's biggest maker of industrial robots, gained 2.2 percent. Canon Inc., a camera maker that relies on the Americas for 27 percent of its revenue, advanced 2.6 percent. Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. gained 0.9 percent. Oki Electric Industry Ltd. slumped 11 percent to lead declines on the Nikkei 225 after saying accounting irregularities would cut profit more than previously expected.
The benchmark Nikkei 225 gained 1.7 percent to 8,959.96 at the close of trading in Tokyo. The broader Topix Index rose 1.3 percent to 741.82, with more than four stocks advancing for each that fell. Stocks rose ahead of a Federal Reserve policy meeting.
"We're going to see something coming through from the Fed," said Chris Weston, a Melbourne-based trader at IG Markets Ltd. "The signs that we got from China that they'll meet their targets are also positive. The market's being supported by central banks and there's some juice left in these markets."
The Topix dropped 15 percent from this year's peak on March 27 through yesterday on concern Europe's debt crisis is deepening and as growth slows in China and the U.S. The gauge trades at 0.9 times book value, compared with 2.2 for the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and 1.5 for the Stoxx Europe 600 Index. A number below one means companies can be bought for less than the value of their assets.
Fed Meeting
Futures on the S&P's 500 gained 0.2 percent today. The gauge rose 0.3 percent in New York yesterday before the Federal Open Market Committee starts a two-day meeting today to discuss additional measures to stimulate the U.S. economy. Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said on Aug. 31 he wouldn't rule out steps to lower an unemployment rate he described as a "grave concern."
Shares also rose on prospects for easing in China. The nation still has "ample strength" in either monetary or fiscal domains to propel economic growth, Wen said yesterday at the World Economic Forum in the city of Tianjin, adding the government has 100 billion yuan ($16 billion) in a fiscal stabilization fund.
"We will appropriately use that for preemptive policy and fine-tuning to propel stable economic growth," Wen said, reiterating the country will continue to place more emphasis on ensuring stable growth.
Fanuc climbed 2.2 percent to 13,170 yen. Canon gained 2.6 percent to 2,640 yen.
Machinery Orders
Japan's machinery orders rose more than estimated in July even as weakness in exports and waning subsidies for auto purchases threaten to stifle economic growth. Orders climbed 4.6 percent gaining 5.6 percent in June, the Cabinet Office said today in Tokyo. The median estimate of 29 economists surveyed by Bloomberg News was for a 2 percent increase.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd. gained 1.3 percent to 324 yen.
Oki Electric slid 11 percent to 89 yen after the communications-equipment provider said improper accounting at its Spanish unit will cut profit by 30.8 billion yen ($395 million).

Na Son Nguyen, Associated Press
HANOI, Vietnam — Nguyen Huong Giang loves to party but loathes hangovers, so she ends her whiskey benders by tossing back shots of rhino horn ground with water on a special ceramic plate.
Her father gave her the 4-inch (10-centimeter) brown horn as a gift, claiming it cures everything from headaches to cancer. Vietnam has become so obsessed with the fingernail-like substance it now sells for more than cocaine.
"I don't know how much it costs," said Giang, 24, after showing off the horn in her high-rise apartment overlooking the capital, Hanoi. "I only know it's expensive."
Experts say Vietnam's surging demand is threatening to wipe out the world's remaining rhinoceros populations, which recovered from the brink of extinction after the 1970s thanks to conservation campaigns. Illegal killings in Africa hit the highest recorded level in 2011 and are expected to worsen this year.
This week South Africa called for renewed cooperation with Vietnam after a "shocking number" of rhinos have already been reported dead this year.
China has long valued rhino horn for its purported — though unproven — medicinal properties, but U.S. officials and international wildlife experts now say Vietnam's recent intense craving, blamed partly on a widespread rumor that rhino horn cures cancer, is putting unprecedented pressure on the world's estimated 28,000 remaining animals, mainly in South Africa.
"It's a very dire situation," U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Director Dan Ashe said by telephone. "We have very little cushion for these populations in the wild."
Although data on the global rhino horn trade is scarce, poaching in Africa has soared in the past two years, with American officials saying China and Vietnam are driving the trade that has no "significant" end market in the United States.
Wildlife advocates say that over the last decade, rhino horn has become a must-have luxury item for some Vietnamese nouveau riche, alongside Gucci bags and expensive Maybach cars.
Between 2006 and 2008, three diplomats at the Vietnamese Embassy in Pretoria were linked to embarrassing rhino trafficking scandals — including one caught on tape. In February, U.S. agents busted an alleged interstate rhino horn trafficking syndicate with Vietnamese-American ringleaders.
According to a court affidavit obtained by The Associated Press, Felix Kha, one of the alleged traffickers arrested in the recent U.S. bust, allegedly traveled to China 12 times between 2004 and 2011 and to Vietnam five times last year.
"There are still horns going into China but Vietnam is driving the increase in poaching for horns," said Chris R. Shepherd, deputy regional director for Southeast Asia at the wildlife advocacy group TRAFFIC. "Vietnamese authorities really need to step up their efforts to find out who is behind horn trafficking ... and put them out of business."
The rhino horn craze offers bigger payoffs than other exotic wildlife products such as bear bile or tiger bone paste. American officials say the crushed powder fetches up to $55,000 per kilogram in Asia ($25,000 per pound) — a price that can top the U.S. street value of cocaine, making the hoof-like substance literally as valuable as gold.
The drive is so great, thieves are now pinching rhino horns from European museums and taxidermy shops, sometimes smashing them off with sledgehammers before fleeing. According to Europol, the European law enforcement agency, 72 rhino horns were stolen from 15 European countries in 2011, the first year such data was recorded.
Poachers in South Africa are also using chain saws to rip rhinos' horns off, mutilating the hulky animals while they're still alive and leaving oozing bloody cavities in the heads of those lucky enough to survive.

In no branch of medical literature is the atavistic tendency more dominant than in textbooks of gastro-enterology. The same exposition of a sharply crystallized body of doctrine appears over and over again modified, perhaps, by the teachings of some physiologist who for the moment is approved by the gastroenterologic group. There seems to be a curious imperviousness of these books to outside influences; one suspects that there even exists a proscribed list of writings which challenge traditional concepts. It is with interest, therefore, that one approaches Arafa's recent book; one hopes that under the title of "Newer Aspects of Gastro-Enterology" one may find that the house has been cleaned and the cobwebs swept away. Dr. Arafa's work shows all the earmarks of a sincere effort; clearly he has labored industriously in producing this compilation. But the same old outline is followed, and for the most part there is presented only

I have a web application that processes events and audio received from a specialised microphone. The audio is processed by a Java applet that runs in the web page, but other events (microphone connected, microphone disconnected, microphone button pressed) are handled by an ActiveX object.
The ActiveX object traps these events and calls JavaScript code to handle them
<!-- Load the ActiveX control -->

// Call JavaScript code to handle the microphone disconnected event
function PhilipsSpeechMikeCtrl::SPMEventButton(deviceID, eventId) {
// Call JavaScript code to handle the microphone button pressed event
I'm not entirely sure how to go about implementing the solution I've proposed above, any suggestions?
Update: I realise the solution I've proposed above would still be IE dependent, that's fine. My immediate goal is to support all browsers on Windows.
It has been suggested that instead of using ActiveX, I could use JNI (or JNA) to access the DLLs underlying the ActiveX object. However, I don't actually want to call the functions in the DLLs, I want the DLLs to call me, i.e. register an event handler.
Thanks, Don

I like to hack things together in LISP (clojure at the moment) and java in my spare time. I'm interested in intelligent CMS solutions, AI, data mining and much more. I usually tend to be attracted to topics/technologies which present me with a challenge. If you have ideas which do fit my interests then feel free to contact me on arold (dot) adam (@) gmail (dot) com.
While not at the computer I like to play drums, pick locks and run around in airsoft fields with guns blazing.
I also created the unicorns tag on meta.

Expiration Date
The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

Two family farm organically grown ancient whole grains, USA high plains kamut and high altitude Andean quinoa in fork friendly twists.

Would not order again

To me these taste like whole wheat pasta - grainy and weird.
Healthy and worth the price.

Put these in a chicken soup and did not account for how BIG they get. Had to add more water to the soup but it was still delicious. Good pasta like texture with a definite taste of its own. Will re-order and try with sauce next time. Definitely a great heart healthy substitute for regular pasta.
Great pasta

Use it mostly for soups. Great taste, will keep buying them.
Good Texture

Really nice brush to use. Sometimes gets my hair in knots, but that's to do with my hair dryer being too poweful! This brush has a lovely feeling, a nice hold and great to use when you want to rough dry your hair.

I have a lab of iMacs (21.5 Mid 2011) that primarily run Windows 7 X64 via Bootcamp. The issue that they have been seeing since installation, is on the Windows side, anything to do with accessing internal network services via Active Directory (printing, network shares) runs incredibly slow. Adobe CS5 products also run slow.
The problem that makes this issue hard to resolve is that the issue occurs on random computers and different times. For example, computer 10 may have the mentioned problem today, but tomorrow morning it may act fine.
So far, I have:
- Disabled the wireless adapter
- Erased the computers, and created a fresh image which was applied to each of them
- Ensured Ethernet Drivers are up to date
- Ensured Boot Camp drivers are installed
- Disabled RDC from Add/Remove Windows Features
- Unbound and Rejoined AD domain
- Network, switch, ports have been checked and no issues found
However, nothing seems to work. When a traditional PC is introduced to the environment, the issues don't appear to persist, so it is something either on the image/computer, or how the image/computer connects to the network/domain. Interestingly, iMacs in other rooms that are one generation older so not have the issue - it's only on this specific model.
Has anyone come across this issue, and/or could offer any suggestions I could try? If I have not been specific enough, or more information is required, please let me know and I will give you what I can.
Thanks in advance

Higher birth order is associated with a smaller risk of allergy (birth order effect). The purpose of this study was to compare the significance of the birth order effect on the prevalence of specific allergic diseases [bronchial asthma (BA), atopic dermatitis (AD), allergic rhinitis (AR), allergic conjunctivitis (AC), and food allergy (FA)] among schoolchildren. A questionnaire survey dealing with the prevalence of allergic diseases was administered to the parents of 14,669 schoolchildren aged 7–15 yr. Based on the data, the prevalence of each allergic disease was compared according to birth order (1st, 2nd, and 3rd or later). Multiple regression analysis was performed to test the significance of the differences.
There was no significant difference in the prevalence of BA or AD according to birth order. The prevalence of AR, AC, and FA decreased significantly as birth order increased. The prevalence of FA among those with 1st, 2nd, and 3rd or later birth order was 4.0%, 3.4%, and 2.6%, respectively (p = 0.01). With respect to symptoms in infancy, the prevalence of wheeze increased significantly and that of FA and eczema in infancy decreased significantly as birth order increased.
The present data show a significant birth order effect on FA. The effect was also observed for the prevalence of FA and eczema in infancy. These data support the concept of early, non-allergen-specific programming of IgE-mediated immunity.

Anaerobic digester plan for Gwynedd food waste approved
- 22 November 2010
- From the section North West Wales
A plan to build a plant to treat food waste has been given the go-ahead by Gwynedd councillors.
The council anaerobic digester at Llwyn Isaf near Clynnog will deal with 15,000 tonnes of food waste collected in the county.
As part of the process the digester will also produce electricity, which can be exported to the national grid.
Local people protested when the Llwyn Isaf site was reopened as a "temporary landfill" tip in 2009.
Councillors were told that the landfill would continue until the end of 2013, and it was intended to run the digester by the end of 2012.
They were also told the bid "satisfies the requirements in terms of access, character, design, ecology, community safety and environmental sustainability".
'Residents' concerns'
Clynnog Fawr Community Council said it had no objection in principle based on the fact that recycling was much better than landfill.
The council added: "But there is a need for an appropriate monitoring and management plan for the site, as a result of concerns raised by local residents".
Other comments come from the Countryside Council for Wales (CCW), because the site could have an impact on Cors Eifionydd European Nature Conservation Area, and the nearby Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
CCW said assessment should be made to ensure there will be no significant impact on Cors Eifionydd.
In conclusion the report noted that food waste accounts for about 50% of all organic domestic waste.
"There are substantial environmental advantages available should it be possible for it to be collected and treated," it added.
Councillors approved the development with conditions including the site working hours, and that noise, dust, and odour are monitored.

To promote the sort of broad adoption that benefitted TSA, BI vendors have been talking up "pervasive BI" and "operational BI" in recent years. Yet these buzz phrases fly in the face of ongoing complaints about their software; in fact, "complexity of tools and interfaces" and "cost of software and user licenses" were ranked first and second by survey respondents as impediments to success.
Vendors have responded to demands to make BI more accessible and user-friendly with Web-based options, including visual dashboards and key performance indicators, that can be embedded within portals or applications. But when it comes to grassroots use of BI, no option has been more deployed than integration with desktop applications, with Microsoft Excel usually the tool of choice. More than half of all respondents, 57%, say they've implemented desktop integration, with 70% of "very successful" companies having done so.
Desktop integration projects are typically one-way, supporting automated and on-demand delivery of pre-set metrics, alerts, and reports. Those can even include raw data extracts from a central repository, generally a data mart or warehouse but sometimes an operational data store or system of record, such as ERP.
Truly interactive tools have been slow to come. Within the last year, vendors including Microsoft and SAP's Business Objects unit have added two-way integration functions that let authorized users edit or revise information in Excel and then update the central repository. The latest integration advances also allow for refreshing data in linked Excel-, Word-, and PowerPoint-based reports and presentations when they're opened, so users don't have to manually update their documents. Oracle became the latest to add this capability with a BI platform upgrade announced in July.
But the real art in exploiting desktop integration, as well as dashboards, is coming up with user-friendly presentations that help people make better decisions. At Esselte, a $1 billion-a-year manufacturer of office supplies, that meant creating visual, dashboard-like presentations formatted for Excel. "The last thing we wanted was for people to see spreadsheets with tons of data," says Luis Becerril, a director who oversees reporting at the company's plants and distribution centers.
Esselte pulls data from more than 300 legacy-system reports using mining software from DataWatch that then delivers, via e-mail and the Web, customized Excel-based charts and dashboards geared to specific roles. Becerril says standardization eliminates the problem of "people developing unique reports and coming up with different conclusions in different plants."

PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Nearly 40 years after a Philadelphia record
company released the O'Jays' hit song "Love Train," there actually was such a thing in the City of Brotherly Love.
One adventurous couple got married on the elevated train as it passed by dozens of love-themed rooftop murals.
Krisy Plourde (KRIS'-ee PLURD') and Tom Golden said their vows aboard the Market-Frankford line on Sunday, just ahead of Valentine's Day.
The subway car was packed with friends and relatives and festooned with white garlands. Philadelphia Mayor Michael Nutter performed the ceremony.
Other cars on the special El were filled with visitors taking a narrated tour of the "Love Letter" murals, which parallel the train tracks in West Philadelphia.

2008 Letter from the Blur
posted by November 3 at 15:53 PMon
Nothing is really that compelling about my voting story (it was done absentee at the Peoples Pub in Ballard). The real story is what is going to happen tomorrow. I hop on a plane at 8:30 am and will end my day at Grant Park in Chicago. I do happen be one of the 65,000 who have tickets to get beyond the gates. Why I bought the plane ticket? How I found out to email about attending the celebration? It is all a blur. I bet the next 48 hours will be the same. Right now my feelings are nausea, sugar-fueled panic and tense glee. Why am I doing this to myself?

Hillary Clinton wins historic presidential nomination; husband relates their storyWednesday, July 27, 2016 07:28 AM
PHILADELPHIA —The woman who aspires to break the ultimate glass ceiling and make history as the 45th president was hailed here Tuesday night as uniquely qualified by the 42nd president, her husband. Making his 10th consecutive address to a Democratic national convention, Bill Clinton worked his rhetorical magic, spellbinding delegates with a personal perspective that only a husband could relate hours after Hillary Clinton was nominated by acclamation.

If Hillary wins, what will Bill do?
PHILADELPHIA — If Hillary Clinton wins the presidency, Bill Clinton will not become a regular at Cabinet meetings, his wife's advisers say. He will not be invited into the Situation Room. He will step away from his family's foundation work and may not even have an office in the West Wing, given the undesirable optics of a former president and husband looking over the shoulder of the first female commander in chief. But the steps Clinton aides are planning to shape his new life do little to address a potentially thornier problem: Historically, when Bill Clinton does not have a job to do, he gets into trouble.

Tax Credit or Income Transfer?Written by Laurence M. Vance
It is a good thing when taxes are reduced. But when refundable tax credits provide taxpayers with more money than they paid in, that's a subsidy, not a tax cut.
Time and again, when taxes have been raised on the rich, the poor suffered the greatest detriment. And when taxes were lowered, the poor saw most of the benefit.
Russia's presidency of the G20 is coinciding with some very disturbing plans to implement Soviet-style controls over the global economy
When President Obama announced a proposed hike in the federal minimum wage rate in his State of the Union address last week, the reaction was swift. House Speaker John Boehner spoke for most Republicans in condemning the increase (from the current $7.25 an hour to $9.00), reminding his colleagues that "when you raise the price of employment, guess what happens? You get less of it."
Unmentioned in media reports of the recently concluded G20 summit of finance ministers in Moscow is the fact that the meeting advanced the globalist program to destroy the dollar and transform the IMF into a global Federal Reserve with a global currency.

It is the beginning of December. Oak fires are burning in the stately flickering hearths of Nideck Point. It is Yuletide. For Reuben Golding, now infused with the wolf gift and under the loving tutelage of the Morphenkinder, this Christmas promises to be like no other ... as he soon becomes aware that the Morphenkinder, steeped in their own rituals, are also celebrating the Midwinter Yuletide festival deep within Nideck forest. From out of the shadows of the exquisite mansion comes a ghost - tormented, imploring, unable to speak yet able to embrace and desire with desperate affection ... As Reuben finds himself caught up with the passions and yearnings of this spectral presence and the preparations for the Nideck town Christmas reach a fever pitch, astonishing secrets are revealed, secrets that tell of a strange netherworld, of spirits - centuries old - who possess their own fantastical ancient histories and taunt with their dark, magical powers.

The origin of Seckel pears is somewhat unclear, but many people believe they are the only true American pear variety. Seckel pears are thought to have originated in the early 1800s as a wild seedling near Philadelphia.
