Oh. My. God. A clip of Barack Obama swatting an annoying fly during an interview with CNBC has become an instant internet hit. Watch it. It is literally the closest thing to a miracle the modern world will ever see. His method is outlined below, along with more earthbound alternatives for us mere mortals.
1. The Barack Obama method
Brush the buzzing irritant that is not Hillary away and try to continue with your task. When the fly persists, stop. Gather your thoughts and energies. Focus. Bring the fly to land on your left hand by sheer force of will.
Fascinate the fly with your charm and charisma. As it gazes at you with its red compound eyes, raise your right hand and slap it down upon the enthralled insect. Sit back in silent acknowledgement of the fact that you are not just part-black, part-white, part-messiah but also part zen-freaking-master.
2. Mr Miyagi method, as seen on the Karate Kid
Sense the fly. Know the fly. Be the fly. Catch the fly between your chopsticks. A variation on the Obama method, only slightly less difficult.
3. The traditional method
Roll up a newspaper. Chase the flying insect around the house, swiping futilely for 20 minutes. Give up. Embark on methods 4-8.
4. Buy fly swatter
Chase the flying insect around the house, swiping futilely for 20 minutes. Realise that a flattened aerated spatula probably does not have quite the edge over a rolled-up newspaper that you were hoping. Break the fly swatter in frustration.
5. Buy fly papers
Hang them around the house. Congratulate yourself on being ecologically sound and keeping the house free of harmful chemicals. Watch as the house fills with flies instead.
6. Buy fly spray
Reason that an occasional burst of toxic chemicals and a good airing of the room afterwards will do no real harm to anyone. Spray at flies for 20 minutes. Get one. Watch as the tiny, germ-ridden carcass falls to the floor. Dance with pleasure. Hear the blood singing in your ears and finally understand that man is and always remains a hunter.
7. Buy electric fly killer
When you tire of sweeping up dead flies from the windowsill, and the kids' lungs have become dangerously congested, invest in a trap that lures musca domestica to its crisp-fried doom.
8. If you can't be Barack Obama or Mr Miyagi, be Simon Chamberlain
I was at school with him and once witnessed him swatting and,killing a fly in mid-air with a rolled-up newspaper. He raised the weapon, arched his body backward and then launched the hammer blow. It was the single greatest application of force I have ever seen by a human being and it worked. For this, and for once buying me a surprise Creme Egg from the school canteen, sir, I commemorate and salute you here.

Continuing issues with Google imagery access
First Australia, then Korea, now the Dutch. However, for the first time I see someone has mentioned the USGS's National Map. While the National Map focuses on the US and does not have the smooth interface that AJAX offers yet…it does offer better overall imagery throughout the US.

toEat.com: online restaurant services
This is a service that uses the Google Map API (as usual) that allows you to look for restaurants by zip code. Once you are zoomed into your chosen zip code restaraunts are grouped by street so that if you zoom in again you will see the location of the restaraunts themselves. Now if they would add a randomizer they could help people decide where to eat 🙂
Another nation with Google Earth issue
This time South Korea has concerns regarding Google Earth's information. For some reason they are complaining to the US government…I am not sure what they think the government will do.

GeoMedia 6 is probably shipping
Intergraph's GeoMedia 6 is the next in their line of products. In my opinion GeoMedia is probably the sad victim of ESRIs dominance. They had the better web mapping product for the longest time and they have had an interoperable system that doesn't require an extension for years. If our updates are still coming then I will give a review once it arrives. If we aren't receiving GeoMedia updates it is becuase I need to submit paper.

Continued from page 1
Take two tablets and call me.... confused
That said, branded, less-expensive phones will still leave Microsoft in third-place in smartphones for the time being, which is exactly where it sits in tablets. And the convoluted Microsoft tablet story just gets worse. With the release of Intel's new Haswell chips, it's now possible to have a full-blown PC that runs 12 hours on a single charge. Apple's Macbook Air has even gotten 15 hours in some tests. That's terrific news for Microsoft, which is obsessed by the idea of combining tablet and PC functions into a single device. Microsoft's $899 (but really $999) Surface Pro seems tailor made for Haswell, since the battery life has disappointed, especially compared to the Surface RT, which costs half as much.
Now, about that Surface RT. When running the snazzy new Windows 8 desktop, the two tablets look the same. But, again, the Pro runs all the old Windows 7 apps, while the RT runs apps that are made for it. Think of RT apps as iPhone/iPad apps: Same basic software but formatted for different screens. Importantly, though, Pro and RT share a fundamental similarity. When apps are optimized for the touchscreen, Surface RT and Pro feel like a tablet. Perhaps not an iPad, but certainly a tablet, just one built by Microsoft. There's a lot of good there (and a lot to get used to, even for experienced Windows users). When apps aren't optimized -- like your old Windows 7 apps -- the touch experience is awful and the Surface experience is like using a so-so notebook PC that isn't a good value for the money.
If that last paragraph is confounding, in many ways it's a clearer and more honest assessment than you would get at the Microsoft Store and a far better rundown than you get at Best Buy. I've tried both as a mystery shopper. How is anyone supposed to buy these things when Microsoft is selling two entirely different computing platforms that look almost the same with a 2:1 ratio in pricing? (The Surface Pro at $999 is the much better choice because the $899 model has too little free space for a Windows PC.) And once you realize the cheap one is a bit "crippled" by lack of apps and choose the expensive one, you then face the reality you are buying what amounts to two operating systems in one box.
Microsoft is sure that people can't get real work done on tablets, so you have to have one of these convertible tablets with a keyboard so that it's also a computer. It has spent 90% of the time advertising the Surface reminding us that it has a keyboard. Except the whole point is that it's a tablet and probably fewer than 1% of iPad users have a keyboard attached. Ballmer went on again about these hybrid machines and how much we all need them, but Gartner forecasts them taking <1% of the market next year. At GigaOm, Lauren Hockenson suggests Microsoft should build a great convertible and yet they didn't announce a Haswell-based Surface Pro at Build. Are they worried about the inventory they already have? Newsflash Steve: No one is going to buy them either way; just keep giving them away. Microsoft seemed content to leave this portion of the market to OEMs, with Ballmer touting a Lenovo model he enjoys using. Perhaps it can afford to given how small it is.
The possibility exists that the convertible market has been waiting for a great convertible and that's why it has failed over and over. But the problem runs deeper. Even with Haswell solving the battery issue, any convertible is going to be compromised. Most good laptops have screens of 13" or larger; nearly no tablet does. Microsoft's Surface keyboards are adequate, but my last two HPs and Apples obliterate them for actual typing. And the tablet ergonomics are never appealing. Because a convertible needs to place all the guts of the PC in the screen, it becomes a top-heavy laptop. And a tablet like that already feels dated. I regularly use a third-generation iPad, but have grown tired of holding it because of weight. But at least it feels good in the hands. The Surface Pro feels awful. It's far too thick and the edges seem like they were designed as a low-grade torture implement.
When the next generation of large-screen tablets comes out from Apple and Samsung, they'll be lighter and have smaller bezels. The tablets from convertibles will still have the issue of either having a keyboard folded around the back and/or the extra thickness from supporting a more capable computer. Sure when you need that more capable computer, you'll be grateful it's there: One device doing the job of two. But there's a strong reason why Apple refuses to go that route, refuses to make one operating system for mobile and traditional computing. So far, no one has gotten it right. Nothing in the recently announced Windows 8.1 suggests that's going to change, yet here we go again.
In the meantime, Microsoft continues to hedge its bets by offering a tablet-only experience with Windows RT, which has so far been ignored by consumers. At least it plays in the "pure tablet" market; the one Gartner, et al. have forecast to eclipse PCs (and Ballmer's beloved hybrids) by early 2015. So which is the future Ballmer? Is Microsoft going to be great at building something or mediocre at building a lot of things? The mixed messaging has run its course and it's time to find a new messenger.

Within the USAID/Higa Ubeho program, orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) in Rwanda are receiving education support in the form of tuition and learning materials. In addition, the program helps to build life skills through peer-to-peer approaches such as Abahizi Clubs.
Abahizi is a Kinyarwanda word used to describe people who set goals and achieve their goals through hard work and honest effort. Through the clubs, members are encouraged to set personal goals that are linked to the broader themes of 'higa ubeho' – another Kinyarwanda word that emphasizes 'living with determination'. Abahizi Clubs offer participants coping tools and provide a safe place for youth, especially vulnerable adolescents, to share their hopes for the future, to discover their talents, and to exchange information and ideas for achieving a better life.
Abahizi Clubs are a new initiative in Rwanda, building on the lessons from the school-based clubs introduced by the Forum of African Women Educationalists (FAWE). Since May 2011, Rwandan Partner Organizations (RPOS) in USAID/Higa Ubeho have worked with OVC enrolled in secondary schools in 10 Districts: Gicumbi, Rulindo, Rubavu, Nyabihu, Nyamagabe, Nyaruguru, Nyarugenge, Gasabo, Busegesera and Gatsibo to establish 80 clubs. During meetings within Abahizi Club members, and school administrators, the program has learned about changes in self-esteem, more positive outlooks for the future, and more supportive relationships being established among young people.
In the photo above, members of an Abahizi Club at Bon Conseil Secondary School in Byumba in Gicumbi district are planting a fruit tree as a reminder to take care of themselves in order to achieve a future that bears fruits. These groups to help participants realize their potential and gain crucial life skills. Bon Conseil's Abahizi Club, formed in May 2011, has an active membership of 80 students who help each other in academic matters through group discussions, debates, and peer support. The students explain that their performance in school is improving as a result of the support they receive and provide to each other in their Club. Members enforce discipline amongst themselves, feel able to speak out about day-to-day school problems, and they refer bigger problems to teachers or the school administration. The Director of Bon Conseil has seen improvement in academic performance and attitude among members; and Club members are sometimes called to mentor other students.

March 11, 2012 Road Atlanta Miata Crash - NASA HPDE 2 group
This 2003 Miata Shinsen Edition was a brand new build by OPM Autosports in Cumming, GA. They installed cage, seat, Schroth 6 point harness, SPA AFFF 6 nozzle fire suppression system, radiator, brake lines, tow hooks and much more. They also oversaw the painting of the interior and hard top. Their workmanship is beyond reproach. It really was the coolest looking track Miata I had ever seen -- which makes this story so sad (OPM also did ride height, corner weights and alignment for Spec Miata class and provided track side support for this NASA SE event). I was in HPDE 2 group (one step above beginners). I waited three months for the build to complete. I promised myself I would not wreck on the very first weekend I had the car back but ... I did. I hit the inside wall after T3 pretty hard. Personally, I think I went to full throttle too soon at T3. If I had just waited a few tenths longer until the right rear tire had cleared the curbing before mashing the throttle, I think I would have been ok. It's a painful lesson. Here are pics of car after repairs - better than new!! https://picasaweb.google.com/106213036764439306024/2003ShinsenSM

Academic Paper
|Language Assessment Policy in Iran
|Hossein Farhady
|Hora Fatemeh Hedayati
|Linguistic Field:
|Applied Linguistics; Sociolinguistics
|Despite its geopolitical reputation, Iran has been quite underrepresented in studies of its sociopolitically dominated religious educational framework and its language teaching and assessment policy. In the aftermath of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, major restructuring was planned for foreign language teaching and assessment to accord with Islamic values. However, due to political obstacles, including the long-lasting war between Iran and Iraq, most of the plans could not be implemented until years after the revolution. Since high-stakes language tests including university entrance examinations are developed, administered, and scored by the government agencies, independent researchers do not have access to test data. A critical review of the language assessment policy in Iran requires research-based data, which is, in many cases, lacking or sporadic. This article is an attempt to provide some basic documented information about the educational system, foreign language teaching, and assessment in Iran.
This article appears IN Annual Review of Applied Linguistics Vol. 29, Issue 1.

"Wouk makes commanding use of the epistolary form, and what emerges is an entertaining addition to his literary canon. It's clever without being too cutesy, revealing a writer who - at 96 - shows little sign of slowing down."
"[I] n some essential way, this book about a movie about a book is also about the very act of writing books. Wouk reminds us of the eternal value of storytelling while he shows 30- and 50- and 80-year-old whippersnappers how it's done."
""Read this one. You'll smile all the way through."
"Readers will undoubtedly marvel at the ability of a ninety-seven year old author to produce a book with such an unusual format. Regardless of their opinion about the book's design, anything written by Herman Wouk is worth reading and The Lawgiver is no exception."
"An engaging comedy/love story about present-day Hollywood."
"Honest, highly readable, entertaining."
"…The Lawgiver is a combination of sweet romantic comedy and sly Hollywood satire, and it is as much fun to read as it seems to have been to write….Wouk excels in channeling distinctive voices."

A five-alarm fire with flames shooting two to three stories high burned for hours at a South Jamaica scrap metal yard owned by Victoria Gotti's Three Sons Real Estate Group Monday morning, according to fire officials and city records.
A spokesman for the Fire Department said a call reporting the blaze in Liberty Scrap Metal at 95-49 Tuckerton St. in South Jamaica came in at about 9 a.m., but it took until about 1:15 p.m. before the fire was considered under control.
However, the FDNY spokesman said at 2:45 p.m. that the area was still "an active scene."
Records with the City Register show the property is owned by the Three Sons Real Estate Group. The company shares an address that several websites identify as the Westbury, L.I.,, home of Victoria Gotti, daughter of the late Gambino family mob boss John Gotti.
In total 44 units with about 200 firefighters were brought in to fight the fire, fire officials said.
Thick white smoke could be seen as far away as 150th Street and Liberty Avenue at about 10:30 a.m.
Workers from the Liberty Scrap Metal and other surrounding businesses said they heard several explosions, and one man said a police officer broke his ankle after one of the explosions.
The spokesman for the FDNY said three people had been injured in the blaze — two police officers and one firefighter — but he did not have details of their injuries.
One worker described the flames as between two and three feet high, reaching to almost the height of the storage facility next door.
"It was just horrific. The flames were out of control," said Liberty employee James Gray, who said he arrived at the scene after the fire had already started. "It was a lot of flames, a lot of black smoke."
Gray said no one had been at the business when the blaze began, but he thought it might have started with a car battery in the yard.

Concerning Webware installation; it will be somewhat better in the next release. I think the main problem with Webware from the beginning was that is was too much focused on being a "suite" of components with its own plug-in architecture. It would have been better to concentrate on the core component (WebKit) and add extensions as ordinary Python libraries, using the standard Python installation mechanisms. If Webware would be installed as an ordinary Python library, there would be no need to declare the "/path/to/Webware" everywhere and things would be a lot easier. Maybe we can re-package Webware sometime after version 0.9. -- Christoph

Yahoo Releases Astra Open Source Library
The Yahoo search engine's developer team today released a new Open Source program library for Flash and Flex.
Astra provides software tools for the proprietary programs Flash and Flex by software vendor Adobe. The library is based on the object-oriented ActionScript3 scripting language and was released along with the source code by Yahoo under the BSD license. According to the developers Astra still does not have much in the line of samples, components and documentation, however Yahoo is intent on pushing Flash application development.
The Internet company is devoting much attention to the Flash platform and has assigned a separate team to promote development. The Yahoo User Interface (YUI) Library is another product by Yahoo's internal developers, and is written in JavaScript. The YUI Library provides tools and software for the development of interactive Web applications and was also released under the BSD license. Both Astra and the current 2.3.0 version of YUI are available as downloads from the Yahoo Flash Development Center.

On July 24, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission issued temporary no-action relief to harmonize the implementation of the CFTC's Position Limits for Futures and Swaps (the Position Limits Rule) with the proposed changes to the aggregation provisions of the Position Limits Rule.
The Position Limits Rule establishes a position limits regime for 28 exempt and agricultural commodity futures and options contracts and the physical commodity swaps that are economically equivalent to such contracts. The Position Limits Rule generally requires a person to aggregate its positions with the positions of any other entity in which the person has an ownership interest of 10 percent or more. In May 2012, the CFTC issued a notice of proposed rulemaking (Aggregation Notice) seeking public comment on proposed changes to the aggregation provisions.
Market participants must comply with the Position Limits Rule 60 days after the further definition of "swap" is published by the Federal Register, which is expected shortly. Because the CFTC may not have taken final action on the Aggregation Notice by that date, the no-action position provides that, upon the compliance date for the Position Limits Rule, market participants may comply with the aggregation requirements by either:
1. complying with the Position Limits Rule as if it were amended to include the provisions
proposed in the Aggregation Notice; or
2. compliance with the Position Limits Rule, except that the person does not aggregate any
positions in Referenced Contracts (as defined in the Position Limits Rule) held by another
entity that the Position Limits Rule would require be aggregated with the person's positions,
i. the person believes, based on advice of counsel, that information sharing with that
entity would result in a reasonable risk of violating federal, state, or foreign law, rule,
or regulation;
ii. the person has a 50% or lesser ownership or equity interest in that entity and has
taken reasonable steps to ensure independence between the person and that
owned entity, which may include but need not be limited to compliance with the
current standards for independence set forth in 17 C.F.R. Section 150.3(a)(4)(i) or
in Section 151.7(f)(1); or
iii. the person acquires a 50% or lesser ownership or equity interest in that entity in the
normal course of business as a broker-dealer registered with the Securities and
Exchange Commission or similarly registered with a foreign regulatory authority.
The temporary relief will remain in effect until (i) 60 days after the CFTC publishes a rule finalizing changes to the CFTC's aggregation policy, (ii) 60 days after the CFTC issues an order declining to take further action on the Aggregation Notice, or (iii) December 31, 2012, whichever occurs first.
Any entity that intends to rely on the temporary relief must provide prior notice to the Division of Market Oversight in an e-mail to: firstname.lastname@example.com. The notice to the Division of Market Oversight must: (i) state that the entity is relying on such relief, and (ii) state the names of any entities holding positions that it is not aggregating.

- " Great hostel. Excellent value for money. Wasn't sure about this hostel when reading the reviews but needed to stay on a budget so I decided to book it. Was a very pleasant surprise and I am really glad I stayed here! "
- 08 Jan 2017 Anonymous Australia
- " Very tiny halls and rooms, almost no space to turn. Noisy 3 storie beds. Kitchen and common room in the basement - no windows. Helpful and friendly staff! Breakfast included, kitchen is well - equiped. Nothing to stay for long - but for a night it is allright if you don*t bring too much luggage. "
- 23 Dec 2016 Jana Germany
" The convenience of location was great and the front desk staff were very friendly. That's where the good stuff ends though. The room smelled, the rooms were very loud and parties were going on all night, there was some bodily fluids (snot or cum) on the privacy curtain of my bed, there was a moldy something between the bunk bed and wall and there was a mouse trap under the bunk. The bathroom for women was very limited. Also super small lockers for locking personal items. "
Owner Comment

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has revolutionized the management of ophthalmic diseases with the precise anatomic information it provides with non-invasive imaging. The high-resolution cross-sectional tissue details make OCT a natural complement to ophthalmic surgery. Intraoperative OCT (iOCT) has the potential to provide real-time feedback to surgeons thus improving surgical care and outcomes. This research activity will focus on translating OCT technology into the operating room and will be led by Justis P. Ehlers, MD, of the Cleveland Clinic Cole Eye Institute. Dr. Ehlers is a highly trained retina surgeon with extensive experience in the field of iOCT. His immediate career goals include developing his skills as a clinician-scientist through focused educational endeavors while establishing a clinical framework for the use of OCT in the operating room. The three aims of this research activity reflect these goals and include (1) completion of a comprehensive prospective study utilizing iOCT during ophthalmic surgery, (2) design and testing of OCT- friendly surgical instrumentation, and (3) development and implementation of iOCT software platforms.
The first aim will provide a rich database for the utility of iOCT in various procedures (e.g., cataract surgery, corneal transplantation, macular hole surgery, epiretinal membrane surgery). Based on the initial feasibility study, multiple condition-specific studies will be carried out to refine the use of iOCT.
The second aim will address the problems with current instrumentation and the associated poor light transmission and limited OCT-visibility. Novel materials and instrument prototypes are being tested for their optical properties to develop OCT-friendly instruments that allow for visualization of the underlying tissue and the instrument.
The third aim will address the shortcomings of current software packages. Novel software algorithms are in development for this research activity that will provide automated real-time analysis of subtle changes in the conditions of the eye during surgery (e.g., macular hole geometry alterations). In the long-term, Dr. Ehlers plans to develop comprehensive disease-specific platforms for the application of iOCT to surgical eye care in order to improve patient outcomes and test these indications in a multi-center clinical trial. In addition to the research activity, Dr. Ehlers will enroll in the Clinical Research Scholars Program at Case Western Reserve University to further hone his research skills and develop a foundation for a successful career as an independent clinician-scientist. Dr. Ehlers has assembled an outstanding mentorship team (Drs. Peter Kaiser, Cynthia Toth, and William J. Dupps). The mentors'experience in instrument design, biomedical engineering, translational OCT research, software development, and iOCT greatly enhances the strength of this research proposal. Dr. Ehlers has also developed strong partnerships with collaborators in instrument design (Peregrine Surgical), software development (ImageIQ), and OCT technology (Bioptigen). These partnerships also greatly strengthen the foundation of the proposal and the likelihood of both short-term and long-term success.
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is an imaging technique that provides invaluable information regarding the anatomy of the eye and the presence of disease processes, such as scar tissue or edema. Currently, OCT is used in the office setting, but the anatomic information that OCT provides is a natural complement to surgery. This research activity's focus is the integration of OCT into ophthalmic surgery in order to improve visualization of surgical maneuvers, enhance understanding of the completion of surgical objectives, and improve surgical outcomes for patients.

Crisis Management Guide
Convention Services Manager
Let's face it: the Internet is a crowded place. Meeting marketers must determine how to rise above the noise to make sure that prospective attendees recognize the value in paying their registration fees. As you work to attract new audience members, it can be easy to fall into the trap of simply relying on social media channels for engagement.
However, a new LinkedIn survey of B2B marketers underscores the importance of diversifying your marketing tactics to ensure that your message is popping up in front of more eyeballs. The research also highlights one method that may have made its way to your backseat: blogging. According to the survey, 76 percent of marketers still use blogs. Here are three reasons why you should, too.
The search engine giant craves content - - it's what keeps the Internet going. As Google indexes an endless number of pages, its algorithm rewards websites that are constantly offering fresh content with higher page rankings. As you work to attract new prospective attendees, writing daily blog posts can help your website stand out from similar meetings.
Want bonus points from Google? Have your authors create Google+ profiles.
SEE ALSO: The Biggest Meeting Marketing Mistake
A 140-character minimum isn't exactly conducive to sharing the most groundbreaking insights. While maintaining an active social media presence is essential for every meeting marketer, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram represent opportunities to share quick and easy-to-digest bits of information, and your audience wants more than short snippets.
Remember your attendees are looking to your meeting for education, and you can kick off those learning lessons with long-form blogs that raise questions and start conversations among your community members.
SEE ALSO: Why Your Meeting Marketing Strategy Shouldn't Go Paperless
Looking for potential new revenue streams? You don't have to look far. Here's a simple equation: frequent blog posts + more website traffic = more advertising potential. An increase in blogging will typically lead to an increase in visitors and time spent on your site. Use that data to show exhibitors why they should consider paying for banner ad placement on your URL.

DEVELOPMENTAL CORE There is an urgent need for advances in neuroAIDS research that may lead to improved diagnostics and patient care. Such advances require an interdisciplinary approach with participation of investigators in basic, behavioral and clinical research. The major goal of the Comprehensive NeuroAIDS Center Cores (CNACC) is to facilitate interaction between basic science, behavioral research and clinical medicine by providing a mechanism of support for translational investigations through infrastructural and financial support, as well as mentorship. Toward this end, the Developmental Core will provide support for pilot investigations, progress evaluation, guidance, and mentorship. This core application describes the experience of the Core Leaders, the process to recruit and review innovative project applications, and the role the Core will play in mentorship of clinical and basic science faculty and trainees at various levels. It is anticipated that this core will play a pivotal role in enhancing and ensuring the success of neuroAIDS investigators, the advancement of neuroAIDS research and patient care, and the CNACC mission.
To advance the field of neuroAIDS, there is an urgent need to establish new avenues of investigation that bridge the gap between discovery in basic science and promoting improvements in patient care. The Developmental Core will serve to bridge clinical and basic science by promoting pilot projects which are predicted to have high impact and at the same time promote the mentorship and training experiences for investigators at various levels

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/forum.php)
- Beginner Freshwater Aquarium (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/beginner-freshwater-aquarium/)
- - Ugh! The snails! (http://www.tropicalfishkeeping.com/beginner-freshwater-aquarium/ugh-snails-84808/)
Ugh! The snails!
I bought a plant that shipped with a tiny snail on it. I didn't think much of it except, "cool, another snail" at the time. I have a large tiger nirite snail in the tank anyway.
Little did a know that the tiny little snail would soon turn into 2, then 4, and last I counted 11. So now I have 11 tiny little snails creeping around.
I don't mind a whole lot, except that I have a 10 gallon tank. At this rate, it won't take long before they've overtaken it, right?
I've read some tips on how to get rid of them (vegetables in the tank overnight=snail magnet), but my question is....what do I do with them then?
I feel kind of bad just flushing them or squashing them. Should I feel bad? I would feel bad killing my nirite snail (in fact I did kill a mystery snail by accident once, and I felt awful).
My thoughts is that any snail is a good snail. Some have very good attributes. Like MTS burrow through your substrate keeping it aerated and breaking down matter that the bacteria can then easily use. Bladder/pond snails will also help with this but they never burrow into the substrate. They will keep your tank clean though in ways you can not. Don't over feed and the population won't get any bigger then what food source is there for then already. I really don't know what to tell you to do with them as most people usually kill them in some way. I could never do such a thing unless they are for a food source like my Dwarf puffers but I don't kill them per say I just stick them in the tank and they do the rest. Depending on what type they are there are lots of people who want them in their tanks especially the MTS so you could sell them or give them away. Just a thought.
The samething happend to me. They're a little help to me, they eat a bit of algae and so on.They're also fun to watch. I killed some of the bigger ones and let the small ones stay. Today I killed a bunch by mistake, I boiled my dwiftwood oops :/

- Release Date: Mar 29, 2011
- Critic score
- Publication
- By date
Apr 18, 2011The second Yelle album is essential for anyone who appreciates dancefloor-friendly European synth pop.
Mar 28, 2011As it is, Yelle will have to settle for having made a merely awesome album instead of double awesome one, which is still pretty awesome when you get right down to it.
Apr 26, 2011The group who has created a sense of hype surrounding their sound did not deliver in comparison to past material that was praised so fondly for their vintage synth-pop sound.
Mar 28, 2011Yet due to the combination of the singer's delicate voice and the insistent distance these songs puts across, itself partially a consequence of the language barrier, Budet never seems to develop a definite personality.
Mar 28, 2011Julie Budet chirps exclusively in French, which helps her Auto-Tuned singsong remain vaguely mysterious, even if her childlike melodies are far simpler than the subtly finessed synths.
Q MagazineMay 18, 2011Que Veux Tu and La Musique cannily mesh memorable pop hooks and dancefloor energy, but Budet's international aspirations may be offset by her brave, if commercially questionable, decision to sing entirely in French. [May 2011, p.127]
UncutApr 13, 2011Julie Budet's breathy vocals may be a little too Vanessa Paradis, but producers Jean Francois Perrier and Tanguy Destable keep the grooves shiny and the beats sweet. [May 2011, p.103]
Mar 31, 2011Safari Disco Club is unlikely to find itself in the speakers of many dance parties on this side of the Atlantic in coming weeks.

This revised application proposes to renew R01 AG030146, "Genetic Epidemiology of Cognitive Decline in an Aging Population Sample". Cognitive decline in older age and its most severe manifestation, Alzheimer's disease, are public health problems of enormous magnitude that are projected to become much larger with the continued growth of the oldest population groups. We propose to build on our previous work to further the understanding of the genetic architecture of these important and common phenotypes through an integrated consideration of both epigenomic variation and genomic variation. The proposed work offers substantial potential for increasing our understanding of these phenotypes among African Americans (AAs). An integrated approach to genomic and epigenomic variation may be especially relevant in a study comparing results among AAs and European Americans (EAs) because of the different average exposures to life experiences and environments of these two racial/ethnic groups. The plasticity of the epigenome makes it an excellent place to search for long-lasting traces of past events such as midlife or earlier social and experiential disease risk factors that may be important to understanding racial/ethnic differences in disease risk. We will initially conduct a multi-ethnic meta-analysis of these phenotypes in existing genome wide association scan (GWAS) data from seven cohorts of AAs and EAs representing a large portion of available GWAS data for AAs. We will obtain additional genomic data for a large sample of 5000 AAs and 5000 EAs from these cohorts to characterize the relation of the class of genomic variation in the 0.001-0.05 frequency spectrum to cognitive decline by interrogation of coding and splicing variation throughout the human genome. We will then assemble a comprehensive picture of possible causal genomic variants and of their interconnections using integrated functional dissection of phenomic, transcriptomic (RNA and miRNA), and epigenomic (DNA methylation and H3K9Ac profiles) data available for two of the biracial cohorts. Finally, we will generate DNA methylation profiles and miRNA from 100 AA brains (50 with Alzheimer's disease and 50 controls) from these same two cohorts ) to perform targeted investigations of the role of DNA methylation and miRNA in susceptibility loci of AA subjects and compare these results to those obtained from EA subjects.
This application investigates genetic, epigenetic, and other factors affecting cognitive decline among older people of African and European ancestry. Cognitive decline is of high public health importance as its occurrence is continuing to increase rapidly with the growth of the oldest population age groups in the US and all other developed countries.
