The Control Study for the Multidisciplinary Approach to the Study of Chronic Pelvic Pain (MAPP) Research Network has been established to focus on a broader approach to the study of Interstitial Cystitis (IC)/Painful Bladder Syndrome (PBS) in men and women, and Chronic Prostatitis (CP)/Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS) in men, than previously undertaken.
Participants with no Urologic Pelvic Pain Syndromes as well as participants with specific conditions (Fibromyalgia (FM), Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)) are being recruited for the Trans-MAPP Control Study. These participants will act as a reference/control group for the Trans-MAPP Epidemiology & Phenotyping (EP) Study.
As with many chronic pain disorders, IC and CP are poorly understood, and treatment is often not helpful. The goal of this study is to better understand how pain is felt in people with IC or CP. The MAPP Control Study is an observational study that will enroll participants from 6 Discovery Sites and 3 Satellite Sites across the U.S. The investigators will ask questions and gather information about the health and life of the participants for research purposes. The investigators hope that this study will lead to improvement in the treatment of IC and CP.

text: A Science Fiction Pioneer, Available in English for the First TimeCharlie Jane Anders4/05/12 10:59amFiled to: BooksPublishingJhrosnyainemichael dirdatranslations3EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink J.-H. Rosny aîné is one of the most important French science fiction authors, but he's best known in the United States for writing the 1911 novel that became the movie Quest for Fire. Now, at last, three of his novellas have been translated into English and collected into one volume by Wesleyan University press, and they take us from the dawn of humanity to the end of the world. Advertisement One story involves primitive cave people encountering weird creatures — bluish, translucent cones — which have strange, almost magical powers. The second story narrates the early life of a young mutant, in a world that also features strange, almost godlike creatures. And then the third story takes place in the far future, after life is almost extinguished on Earth except for a few lingering humans — and weird creatures called the ferromagnetics.Over in the Washington Post, Michael Dirda praises the beauty and audacity of Rosny's writing: Advertisement Never having encountered any of his fiction, I was unprepared for the power and beauty of "The Xipehuz," "Another World" and "The Death of the Earth." There's nothing hokey or dated about these startling visions of Otherness, although they were first published more than a century ago. You won't read better science-fiction stories - or even better stories - this year... These brilliant works by Rosny underscore how often American readers - and I include myself - simply neglect the artistically ambitious and exceptionally entertaining science fiction written in languages other than English.[Washington Post]Reply3 repliesLeave a reply

Omar Khan's research and practice address responsiveness and performativity in architecture.
In 1995 in collaboration with Laura Garofalo he established Liminal Projects, a practice that has developed performance spaces for artists, interactive and responsive installations, domestic interiors and award winning competitions. Their work has been exhibited at The Kitchen, NYC; The Whitney Annex, NYC; The Urban Center, NYC; The Storefront for Art and Architecture, NYC and The National Building Museum, Washington DC among others. They were winners in the Architectural League of New York's Young Architects Forum 1999. Prof. Khan has received grants from the Rockefeller Foundation, New York State Council for the Arts and the Department of Education and is a 2008 fellow of the New York Foundation for the Arts. He serves on the Steering Committee of the Association for Computing Aided Design in Architecture (ACADIA), and the Information and Computing Technologies Strategic Strengths Committee at UB. Prof. Khan is a past editor for the Journal of Architectural Education (JAE) and currently a co-editor of the Situated Technologies Pamphlet Series published by the Architectural League of New York. At UB he co-directs the Center for Architecture and Situated Technologies (CAST) where his research includes transitive materials, responsive architecture and situated technologies.

I was a little under the weather yesterday with flu type symptoms. The last thing I wanted to do was carry a gun around with me. I know a lot of people here carry 24/7. But I was wondering, when you are sick are you carrying?
Preparing for the Zombie Apocalypse or Rapture....whichever comes first.
I do. I figure that would be a perfect time to be seen as a victim. At 6' 230ish I don't normally look like an easy target so this would be one time.
"Don't hit a man if you can possibly avoid it; but if you do hit him, put him to sleep." - Theodore Roosevelt
Yes I do.
The only exception might be if I am sick enough to be on some serious drugs, then I'd be home in bed anyway, with gun at bedside.
Its so much easier now days, to "Love and honor" my wife, when she is armed, and shoots a better group than I do. (Till death do us part, eh?)
The way you get shot by a concealed weapons permit holder is, you point a gun at him, the Sheriff said.
I guess if you think that predators wouldn't ever target a sick looking 'weak' guy, you'd be good to go...
For me and mine, I carry whenever not in school...sick or not.
Stay armed...healthy or not...stay safe!
Proverbs 27:12 says: The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it.

Of course.
I carry to protect myself and my family. I'm no less concerned with our safety when I'm sick than when I'm well.....
"Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, because they live in a grey twilight that knows not victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt
Sick now, but still have my .45 IWB......I don't think the BG's would wait until I got better to pop me or my wife if they had the chance.
The first time you aren't armed and prepared may be the last time you wished you were.
If I am to sick to carry I am to sick to be out and about.
Ditto. For me, if I'm well enough to be out and about then I'm well enough to be armed. If out: armed always.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
Sick or not I'm carrying. If I'm sick enough that I've gone to the doctor and I'm on some heavy drugs, I'm not going to be out and about anyway.
Freedom doesn't come free. It is bought and paid for by the lives and blood of our men and women in uniform.

There was a thread on this one time about "if I'm all doped up on cold meds, etc. should I carry."
Moping around sick, if anything, makes you more vulnerable.
If I leave the house then yes. If I'm sick at home, chances are no but my 1911 wont be far away. I rarely stay home when I'm sick, unless, I cant get away from the bathroom. YMMV
"Government is not the solution to our problem; government IS the problem". - Ronald Reagan 1981
Today I'm suffering through some sinus bug....feaver, stuffy, grumpy, etc....and I'm not in a mood to pack my sidearm around. I did just get back from the grocrey store with my young'un and I removed my sidearm as soon as I got all the bags in the house. Now I'm gonna just sit around, flip through some of the college games, and just be a sick, unarmed slug. My firearm is very close by, but I'm just not of a mind to lug it around feeling like I do.
If I am "sick" then I am not going anywhere from the home. If I am inside the house during the day and "sick" then I will keep the house secured. Hence, I do not need to carry although the weapon is nearby.
If I am on meds then I DO NOT carry or have the weapon around where I am at. If I am on meds I am not in my normal mind and not fully congnizant and should not have access to any firearm.
If I'm out and about or "up" then I am not "sick" and I carry.
Of course! I seem to get some sort of ailment maybe once or twice a year. Wash your hands whenever possible, take your vitamins, and drink lots of orange juice!Do you carry when sick?

Always assume that your students are interested and enthusiastic. It helps them become so. Be patient. Remember that students like to be appreciated. Operate on the principle that no answer to one of your questions is uninteresting, even if it is irrelevant. If students raise points out of turn come back to them later on. Remember that your students may be meeting rather mature ideas (about politics, social questions, sex, etc.) for the first time. Be prepared to explain these to them, without showing either amusement or irritation at their naiveté and without making a display of your own sophistication. Remember that your students have fathers and mothers. Don't insult the old folks when you are confronted with ideas of theirs with which you do not agree. I In the same way, respect your students' former teachers, even when you must take issue with what are cited as their views. Be honest: Don't be afraid to admit that you don't know or that you have been wrong; but correct the deficiency and don't allow this sort of thing to happen frequently. Don't be afraid to be angry --(students admire honest emotion) --but be sure that lour indignation is justified and that it will serve some purpose. Avoid sarcasm. Don't make individual students the butts of your jokes. Never give a student the impression that you are trying to humiliate him or her before their fellow students. Avoid tired wit, off-color stories, and the use of profanity for emphasis. Avoid over-familiarity. You are not one of the gang. Watch your personal appearance. Your students will do so. Remember your calling.
to maintain perspective on the course; to assist cadets in integrating material; to provide continuity by highlighting certain themes of the course or of a group of lessons; to plan and organize instruction better by doing so for a group of related lessons; to teach the lessons better by making student assignments and arranging special teaching techniques and aids in advance; as well as to allow time to clip newspaper articles, etc., that you can use; to allow for lead times in such things as print plant support, arrangements for television tapes or movies to be shown during class, etc.
By cross-referencing and by discussion questions in class, as well as in course notebooks. By emphasis in the classroom and readings on basic themes and methods common to many courses. By instructors' thorough familiarization with subjects taught in other departments. Frequent visits to the other department, and visits to this Department by officers of other departments, are encouraged. By frequent voluntary attendance at special guest lectures of other departments. By interchange of instructors between courses within the Department, semester-by-semester, and in individual lessons where subject matter and personal expertise permit. By visits of new instructors to lesson conferences and classes of other Department courses.

The study, published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, examined the association between running and mortality risk using a database of 55,137 men and women (ages 18 to 100). Those adults visited the Cooper Clinic and Cooper Institute in Dallas for medical exams and completed health questionnaires that included questions about how they exercise (e.g., if they regularly ran and how far and fast they ran). Advertisement Advertisement The researchers followed up 15 years later to check the participants' death records and found that those who said they were runners had significantly lower risk of death compared to the non-runners. From the abstract:During a mean follow-up of 15 years, 3,413 all-cause and 1,217 cardiovascular deaths occurred. Approximately 24% of adults participated in running in this population. Compared with nonrunners, runners had 30% and 45% lower adjusted risks of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, respectively, with a 3-year life expectancy benefit. The researchers adjusted for overweight or smoking factors as well—but even overweight smokers who ran were less likely to die earlier than those who didn't run.Even more important, running even at slow speeds (under 6 miles an hour) for 5 to 10 minutes a day was also associated with reduced risks of premature death and heart disease. Sponsored Talking to The New York Times, Timothy Church, who co-authored the study, says that it's probably not running in particular that matters, but the high intensity exercise:Anyone who has never run in the past or has health issues should, of course, consult a doctor before starting a running program, Dr. Church said. And if, after trying for a solid five minutes, you're just not enjoying running, switch activities, he added. Jump rope. Vigorously pedal a stationary bike. Or choose any other strenuous activity. Five minutes of taxing effort might add years to your life.Tl;dr: If you want to stick around a little longer, no more excuses. Get moving! It doesn't have to take long.

Security and trust have always been a core focus for our product and infrastructure teams at Box. One of the big investments we've been making lately is around content protection – how we identify, control and protect content from both malicious and unintentional actions. These kinds of controls will play a key role in the rising security transformation that I discussed in my last post.
Some history: Over the past 40 years we've been dealing with unstructured content in a distributed technology landscape. Unfortunately, while this has created immense agility and opportunity for business and IT, we've also lost the ability to effectively identify, control and protect that content from malicious and unintended actions. In parallel, addressing these challenges with traditional security methods has dramatically increased the costs to try and apply old controls in a distributed environment. Security threats have been exploiting this lack of security capability for many years, resulting in a consistent pattern of breaches and data thefts.
This is one of the most significant risks we have in industry. However, by moving the unstructured content to a centralized service, such as Box, we have an incredible opportunity to implement long-standing security models that have weathered the test of time.
At Box our Trust Vision is to change the very nature of computing by solving one of the most important security problems in our lifetime: the secure exchange and collaboration of unstructured content between known and unknown parties from any device anywhere at anytime.
Box's Trust Strategy is supported by five strategic themes that go to the heart of security. Investments in these areas will fulfill our vision and drive our solutions.
Content Protection: To ensure our customer's content has confidentiality, integrity and availability (CIA) applied
- Automatic and dynamic identification and application of owners data classification policy
- Ability to extend that policy to known and unknown users on managed and unmanaged devices
- Highly secure encryption for the entire ecosystem. From the device to cloud, from at rest to in transit
- Ability to share content with 3rd parties and predetermine revocation of access (time based sharing)
- Ability to share the content as "view only" and not allowed to download
Transparency: To enable our customer's complete visibility and assurance in all aspects of Trust
- Deep security certifications for all industries and levels
- Near real-time Trust dashboard for customers to view compliance and availability
- Ability for customers to pull all activity with their account and content to include into their own SEIM or log analysis infrastructure
Account Protection: To drive a protective ecosystem of our customers account and activity to ensure their safety
- Facilitate identity from personal to enterprise and the secure exchange of information based on it.
- Provide a wide degree of authentication to ensure strong authentication capabilities
- Enable advanced analytics to identify compromised accounts with a global awareness to ensure our customers content confidentiality
Application Protection: To provide an industry leading Trust assurance in all aspects of Box's ecosystem of applications and platforms
- The assurance that all platforms and 3rd party applications are free from vulnerabilities and contain all appropriate security features and comply with industry application security standards
- Driving the security model to the application layer, from the device, with security API's that extend account, device and content security
Device Protection: To provide a complete "control to assurance" model of Trust to any device, at any time
- Advanced global telemetry to identify compromised or malicious devices prior to authentication or content access
- Ability to ensure content access based on managed vs. unmanaged devices.
- Ability to extend policy to unknown devices to ensure appropriate controls are in place
- Ability to maintain a "high security" model with integrations into 3rd party mobile device management solutions to ensure device assurance and content protection
Clearly, Box will play a key role in content protection, and we're already working with customers and partners whose sole focus is protecting applications, devices and data.

Tweets are individual posts on the popular social networking and microblogging service Twitter. Tweets, also known as Twitter updates, are usually less than 140 characters and are updated in real-time.
Any user who has subscribed to a Twitter feed would be able to view the Tweets of that particular Twitter feed on their Twitter home page. Although Twitter does enable a user to hide their Tweets from the public timeline, and one can also send direct Tweets to others which would make those Tweets invisible in their Twitter subscriber's feed.
A Tweet can contain characters, ASCII codes and/or numbers. Tweets sent to a particular user usually begin with @username, direct Tweets usually begin with the letter d. The collection of a user Tweets and the Twitter feeds they have subscribed to is called a Twitter stream. Tweets can be viewed through the Twitter website or with various desktop or smartphone applications, and then others usually rely on SMS messaging.
With the phenomenol growth of Twitter users, Tweets have become an important channel for communication.

SignalSilence® MTAP siRNA II from Cell Signaling Technology (CST) allows the researcher to specifically inhibit MTAP expression using RNA interference, a method whereby gene expression can be selectively silenced through the delivery of double stranded RNA molecules into the cell. All SignalSilence® siRNA products from CST are rigorously tested in-house and have been shown to reduce target protein expression by western analysis.
Quality Control
Oligonucleotide synthesis is monitored base by base through trityl analysis to ensure appropriate coupling efficiency. The oligo is subsequently purified by affinity-solid phase extraction. The annealed RNA duplex is further analyzed by mass spectrometry to verify the exact composition of the duplex. Each lot is compared to the previous lot by mass spectrometry to ensure maximum lot-to-lot consistency.
MTAP is an enzyme that is essential for the salvage pathway for both adenine and methionine synthesis. MTAP catalyzes the cleavage of 5'-methylthioadenosine into adenine and 5-methylthio-D-ribose-1-phosphate. Adenine is then used to generate AMP whereas 5-methylthio-D-ribose-1-phosphate is converted into methionine (1,2). MTAP is expressed in all normal cells and tissues, although frequently lost in different human tumors including pancreatic adenocarcinoma, neuroendocrine tumors, non-small cell lung carcinoma and breast carcinoma. MTAP is usually codeleted with p16 (cdkN2a/ARF) (3-5). MTAP overexpression in breast cancer cells inhibits their ability to form colonies in soft agar, thereby implicating its function as a tumor suppressor (6).

NBC's prime-time Olympics host, who had to take a six-day absence after coming down with viral conjunctivitis in both eyes, contracted the infection after a Botox procedure to smooth out wrinkles prior to the Olympics. Our source said, "Bob's eye infection was due to botched Botox. This isn't the first time he's had it."
NBC strongly denies that Costas — who arrived to host the games in Sochi with a forehead smoother than the Olympic luge track — developed the infection from a Botox procedure.

Citizen Lab, an Internet research group based at the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs, has released a report documenting the use of American-made Internet surveillance and censorship technology by more than a dozen governments, including some with rigid human rights policies like Syria, China, and Saudi Arabia. Citizen Lab researchers state there is a need for national and international scrutiny of how countries are implementing these technologies to ensure they are not used to violate human rights. The report, supported by MacArthur, is intended to make the public aware of the growing amount of surveillance and content-filtering technology on the Internet.

Apple Judge Orders Monitor for E-Book Antitrust Case
Bob Van VorisApple Inc., the world's biggest technology company, was barred from entering into anticompetitive contracts with electronic-book publishers, two months after a judge said it played a "central role" in a conspiracy to fix prices.
U.S. District Judge Denise Cote in Manhattan also will appoint a monitor to review Apple's antitrust compliance policies, according to an order made public today that narrows many provisions sought by the U.S. government. Cote last week said the order would rest "as lightly as possible" on how Apple does business.
"Apple shall not enter into or maintain any agreement with an e-book publisher where such agreement likely will increase, fix, or set the price at which other e-book retailers can acquire or sell e-books," Cote said in the order.
Cote rejected government requests that she give the monitor broader authority over Apple's business practices, order changes to how Apple sells e-books through electronic applications, and regulate content sold by Apple other than e-books, including digital music.
Cote said the order will expire after five years instead of the 10 years requested by the Justice Department. Apple plans to appeal the order, spokesman Tom Neumayr said.
"Apple did not conspire to fix e-book pricing," Neumayr said in an e-mailed statement. "The iBookstore gave customers more choice and injected much needed innovation and competition into the market."
The U.S. is pleased with the order, Assistant Attorney General Bill Baer said in an e-mailed statement.
'Restore Competition'
"Consumers will continue to benefit from lower e-books prices as a result of the department's enforcement action to restore competition in this important industry," he said.
The U.S. sued Cupertino, California-based Apple and five book publishers in April 2012. After a trial, which began June 3, Cote ruled July 10 that Apple violated antitrust laws in its contracts with five of the six biggest book publishers.
Apple was found liable to 33 states that joined the Justice Department in the suit and faces a separate trial on damages sought by the states. The Justice Department didn't ask for money damages in its case.
The case is U.S. v. Apple Inc., 12-cv-02826, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

lily SymbolismIn religion and art the lily symbolizes purity, and as the flower of the Resurrection and of the Virgin it is widely used at Easter. The lily of the Bible (Cant. 2.1) has been variously identified with the scarlet anemone, Madonna lily, and other plants; the "lilies of the field" (Mat. 6.28) probably means any wildflowers, perhaps the iris.

Shelter - Keeping out the elements.
Staying warm and dry, and keeping a roof over our heads, is one of the most important things we accomplish in our life. There are many methods of using renewable resources in the construction of our homes. Important goals are Energy Efficiency, Security, and Weather Resistance.
The Underground (earth bermed and sheltered) Home Web Site - http://www.liquefaction.com/berm/ - I have found very little information on the web about underground (Earth berm and sheltered) homes or houses. When I search via yahoo for "Earth berm" I get poor links, when I search for "underground homes" I get underground construction or underground music sites. There are numerous sites dealing with alternative power and computer control but only the Earthship sites come close to conventional underground homes. However, the Earthship pages deal with making house with tires and other throwaways. I only want info on making energy efficient houses for cold and hot seasons. Searching for "Earth sheltered" homes does appears to get some very interesting finds.
The Nature of Form: A Layman's View of Organic Architecture - Eric Hunting: Introduction: In his book "The Millennial Project" author Marshal Savage notes the use of 'organic architecture' as an important feature of the Aquarius marine colony. Other futurists have also mentioned this form of architecture as being important to the design of future habitation and the Nexus marine colony, proposed by architect Eugene Tsui, also makes use of this style. But what exactly is this organic architecture? A search through the architecture section of the typical library is unlikely to provide a single title that even mentions this phrase. Our only clues to its nature are often found in the works of futurists and science fiction writers and rarely adequately described or illustrated.
http://www.millennial.org/~hunting/tnof/tnof.htmlThe Monolithic™ Dome is the most disaster resistant building that can be built at a reasonable price without going underground or into a mountain.
A wind of 70 miles per hour blowing against a 30 foot tall flat walled building in open flat terrain will exert a pressure of 22 pounds per square foot (see sidebars). If the wind speed is increased to 300 miles per hour the pressure is increased to 404 pounds per square foot (psf). Wind speed of 300 MPH is considered maximum for a tornado. It is far greater than that of a hurricane.
[Cars can be parked on 100 psf. The side pressure on the building could equal the weight of cars piled 4 high. No normal building can withstand that much pressure. Many Monolithic Domes are buried up to 30 feet deep. They must withstand pressures up to 1 ton per square foot (2000 psf)].
Against tornado pressure a Monolithic™ Dome 100 feet in diameter, 35 feet tall would still have a safety margin of nearly 1½ times its minimum design strength. In other words, the stress created by the 300 mile per hour wind would increase the compressive pressure in the concrete shell to 1,098 psi. The shell is allowed 2,394 psi using design strengths of 4,000 psi.
The fact is the Monolithic™ Dome is not flat and therefore never could the maximum air pressure against it of 404 pounds per square foot be realized. Neither is the concrete only 4,000 psi. It is always much greater. The margin of safety is probably more like three or four. http://www.monolithicdome.com/
Since 1994 the Monolithic Dome Institute has had hundreds of students attend and complete a Monolithic Dome Builder's Workshop.
With so many new builders, it is obvious that there is a need for a resource to bring everyone together and create a way for efficient networking for-- and advancement of-- each new builder.
This website is a place for Monolithic Dome Builders to find the supplies they need, get their questions answered, and advertise to potential customers. Monolithic Dome Builders

There is a hint of the mad scientist about Pliny Fisk III. Take his teacup experiment. Had you first seen him on the day he discovered a substitute for concrete you might have dismissed him as a wacky chemistry professor. Picture Fisk, an animated fifty-one-year-old, with steel-rimmed glasses, a walrus mustache, and shoulder-length hair receding on top, stirring a couple of spoonfuls of water into a teacup filled with fly ash from a coal-fired power plant.
Back in his kitchen (or "earth lab" as he calls it) Fisk's teacup of ash soup set up nicely. "In twenty minutes the fly ash turned into something you couldn't break with your hands, so we took it seriously and made a proper mix and tested it," he recalls. The result was a substance so hard that it broke his compression tester. This experimental material later tested out at 6000 psi (pounds per square inch), about twice the strength of Portland cement. Eventually Fisk came up with a recipe for his alternative cement that he now makes out of 97 percent recycled-content materials: fly ash and bottom ash from aluminum smelters mixed with a dash of citric acid, borate, and (unfortunately, he adds) a chemical in the chlorine family for which he is seeking a substitute. Fisk promptly registered this new substance under the name AshCrete. Pliny Fisk III: The Search for Low-Impact Building Materials and Techniques
I am the Director of the Development Center for Appropriate Technology, a 501(c) 3 non-profit organization, in Tucson, AZ. Much of our work is in the area of energy- and resource-efficient building technologies. Thus my comments are related to the climate change aspects of buildings, materials and systems of construction, and building regulation. Some reflect the huge potential for using agricultural residues as very energy-efficient building materials which also act as carbon sinks. Others relate to finding lower-impact ways of building and changes in codes. To address the impacts of building requires a comprehensive approach that identifies technical, institutional, economic, and cultural barriers to needed changes and addresses them. Here are my suggestions: Sustainable building ideas

Richard Feynman's FBI Files Released 181
v3rgEz writes "The FBI files of noted physicist, esteemed author and all-around geek Richard Feynman have been released. Feynman and the FBI had an extended encounter after the Bureau discovered he had been invited to speak at the USSR, which set off a flurry of investigations into his loyalty — even as he pestered the State Department for guidance on whether he should or shouldn't go, guidance they only gave belatedly. Of particular interest to the FBI was his avid devotion to the art of lock picking, his high school membership in a socialism club (for social reasons, he swore), and the fact that he was a godless scientist who loved his bongo drums. Original documents are available. One other element? A seven-page letter detailing a conspiracy theory that Feynman was a sleeper agent for enemies unknown, but probably communist ones."

Mr Roberts: You are correct. China is a huge market with many opportunities. SeerPharma is in discussions with some groups in China and looking at the pluses and minuses of establishing our training programs there. We believe there are similar opportunities there as in India. The difficulty in China as compared to India is, of course, the language. We see India as a better short-term opportunity because we can essentially take our existing offerings into India with very little reworking.
What are the future plans of the company?
Mr Roberts: SeerPharma intends to build on its reputation as Asia Pacific's premier quality assurance and compliance consultancy. To maintain this reputation, we need to increase our presence in emerging life sciences markets, particularly in India, China and South Korea. It is our intention to capitalize on the expansion of the life sciences industry in these markets. Our future focus will be on developing relationships with partners in each of these markets.

A Great Surprise!
By John H.

About Me Health Conscious, Tea Enthusiast

Comments about The Coffee Bean Gunpowder Green Organic Limited Edition Tea:
We received a tin of the gunpowder green in our Conscious Box this month and I am quite pleased overall. I have generally found pre-packaged teas to be lacking in quality and was expecting this here; however, I was pleasantly surprised! The leaves appear of high quality, steep and resteep very well, and are portioned in each tea bag appropriately. The taste and aroma of the tea is on par with what I expect in a quality gunpowder. My only qualm is with pre-packaged teas in general: the waste generated with synthetic tea bags. However, for those who do not share a deep concern for waste or for those looking to convert another into the world of tea, this is an excellent choice. (An aside: the graphic design is quite pleasing. A great choice of layout, fonts, colors, and presentation.)

The first relief train left Omaha via the Harriman lines April 19 at 5:19 p.m., on passenger schedule, but the first car was Chicago and Northwestern No. 1090, which left Omaha within twenty-
Within twelve hours after the disaster the Southern Pacific and related lines under the direction of President [Edward] Harriman were turned over to the work of relief. Everything else, by direct orders to the different general managers and vice- Up to the night of May 3 the Southern Pacific had handled free into San Francisco 1,409 cars of freight, totaling about 35,000 tons, for the benefit of the sufferers. A better idea of quantity is gained when it is said that this would represent in weight four sacks of flour for every person living in San Francisco before the fire.
The Harriman lines the Southern Pacific and the Union Pacific handled all this free, with expedited service, and turned over to the Government here, without charge, its fleet of ferry-
All sorts and conditions of articles were represented in the relief supplies. Eleven cars of water, three cars of ice and three cars of coffee were among the unusual items. There were 183 cars of flour, 94 cars of potatoes and 67 cars of canned good, indicating clearly what the opinion of most people constitutes the necessities of life under unusual conditions. The contributions of syrup, sugar and honey reached twelve cars, of fresh fruit twenty cars, of fresh meat twenty-
There were forty- The supplies reached San Francisco from all directions via the Southern Pacifics various lines; 534 cars were delivered at Mission Bay, 94 cars at Vallejo street, 296 cars at Oakland pier, 37 cars at 4th and King street, 95 cars at Oakland wharf, and the rest at no less than seventeen supply depots around the bay. When the long roll of friendship for San Francisco is called there will be many towns that can reply... .
On California San Francisco leaned most heavily. Sixty- The South and other sections responded generously in cash, and therefore are not represented in the relief shipments largely. The figures above given do not include the Government material, which according to the present Government reports, aggregate fully a hundred cars.
If these cars of mixed supplies had been handled as commercial freight instead of free by the Harriman lines, the charges would have aggregated nearly a half million dollars. |

Response From Federal Agency Exposes Obama Administration's Intent To Consider Any Tourism To Be People to People Exchange, Says Ros-Lehtinen
(WASHINGTON) –U.S. Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FL), Chairman of the Middle East and North Africa Subcommittee, made the following statement in response to the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) letter on the Cuba trip by Beyonce and Jay-Z. Statement by Ros-Lehtinen:
"If the tourist activities undertaken by Beyonce and Jay-Z in Cuba are classified as an educational exchange trip, then it is clear that the Obama Administration is not serious about denying the Castro regime an economic lifeline that US tourism will extend to it. That was a wedding anniversary vacation that was not even disguised as a cultural program. As more human rights activists engage in hunger strikes, I don't think they will see any evidence of how this scam endeavor will help them become independent of the regime."

7.1: Ratios and Proportions
Learning Objectives
- Write and solve ratios and proportions.
- Use ratios and proportions in problem solving.
Review Queue
- Are the two triangles congruent? If so, how do you know?
- If \begin{align*}AC = 5\end{align*}
AC=5 , what is \begin{align*}GI\end{align*}GI ? What is the reason? - How many inches are in a:
- foot?
- yard?
- 3 yards?
- 5 feet?
Know What? You want to make a scale drawing of your room and furniture for a little redecorating. Your room measures 12 feet by 12 feet. In your room are a twin bed (36 in by 75 in) and a desk (4 feet by 2 feet). You scale down your room to 8 in by 8 in, so it fits on a piece of paper. What size are the bed and desk in the drawing?
Using Ratios
Ratio: A way to compare two numbers. Ratios can be written: \begin{align*}\frac{a}{b}\end{align*}
Example 1: There are 14 girls and 18 boys in your math class. What is the ratio of girls to boys?
Solution: The ratio would be 14:18. This can be simplified to 7:9.
Example 2: The total bagel sales at a bagel shop for Monday is in the table below. What is the ratio of cinnamon raisin bagels to plain bagels?
Type of Bagel | Number Sold |
Plain | 80 |
Cinnamon Raisin | 30 |
Sesame | 25 |
Jalapeno Cheddar | 20 |
Everything | 45 |
Honey Wheat | 50 |
Solution: The ratio is 30:80. Reducing the ratio by 10, we get 3:8.
Reduce a ratio just like a fraction. Always reduce ratios.
Example 3: What is the ratio of honey wheat bagels to total bagels sold?
Solution: Order matters. Honey wheat is listed first, so that number comes first in the ratio (or on the top of the fraction). Find the total number of bagels sold, \begin{align*}80 + 30 + 25 + 20 + 45 + 50 = 250\end{align*}
The ratio is \begin{align*}\frac{50}{250} = \frac{1}{5}\end{align*}
Equivalent Ratios: When two or more ratios reduce to the same ratio.
50:250 and 2:10 are equivalent because they both reduce to 1:5.
Example 4: What is the ratio of cinnamon raisin bagels to sesame bagels to jalapeno cheddar bagels?
Solution: 30:25:20, which reduces to 6:5:4.
Converting Measurements
How many feet are in 2 miles? How many inches are in 4 feet? Ratios are used to convert these measurements.
Example 5: Simplify the following ratios.
a) \begin{align*}\frac{7 \ ft}{14 \ in}\end{align*}
b) 9m:900cm
c) \begin{align*}\frac{4 \ gal}{16 \ gal}\end{align*}
Solution: Change these so that they are in the same units. There are 12 inches in a foot.
a) \begin{align*}\frac{7 \ \bcancel{ft}}{14 \ \cancel{in}} \cdot \frac{12 \ \cancel{in}}{1 \ \bcancel{ft}} = \frac{84}{14} = \frac{6}{1}\end{align*}
The inches cancel each other out. Simplified ratios do not have units.
b) It is easier to simplify a ratio when written as a fraction.
\begin{align*}\frac{9 \ \bcancel{m}}{900 \ \cancel{cm}} \cdot \frac{100 \ \cancel{cm}}{1 \ \bcancel{m}} = \frac{900}{900} = \frac{1}{1}\end{align*}
c) \begin{align*}\frac{4 \ \bcancel{gal}}{16 \ \bcancel{gal}} = \frac{1}{4}\end{align*}
Example 6: A talent show has dancers and singers. The ratio of dances to singers is 3:2. There are 30 performers total, how many of each are there?
Solution: 3:2 is a reduced ratio, so there is a number, \begin{align*}n\end{align*}, that we can multiply both by to find the total number in each group.
\begin{align*}\text{dancers} = 3n, \ \text{singers} = 2n \ \longrightarrow \ 3n+2n &= 30\\ 5n &= 30\\ n &= 6\end{align*}
There are \begin{align*}3 \cdot 6 = 18\end{align*} dancers and \begin{align*}2 \cdot 6 = 12\end{align*} singers.
Solving Proportions
Proportion: Two ratios that are set equal to each other.
Example 7: Solve the proportions.
a) \begin{align*}\frac{4}{5} = \frac{x}{30}\end{align*}
b) \begin{align*}\frac{y+1}{8} = \frac{5}{20}\end{align*}
c) \begin{align*}\frac{6}{5} = \frac{2x+5}{x-2}\end{align*}
Solution: To solve a proportion, you need to cross-multiply.
Cross-Multiplication Theorem: \begin{align*}a, b, c,\end{align*} and \begin{align*}d\end{align*} are real numbers, with \begin{align*}b \neq 0\end{align*} and \begin{align*}d \neq 0\end{align*}. If \begin{align*}\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}\end{align*}, then \begin{align*}ad=bc\end{align*}.
The proof of the Cross-Multiplication Theorem is an algebraic proof. Recall that multiplying by the same number over itself is 1 \begin{align*}(b \div b=1)\end{align*}.
Proof of the Cross-Multiplication Theorem
\begin{align*}\frac{a}{b} &= \frac{c}{d} && \text{Multiply the left side by} \ \frac{d}{d} \ \text{and the right side by} \ \frac{b}{b}.\\ \frac{a}{b} \cdot \frac{d}{d} &= \frac{c}{d} \cdot \frac{b}{b}\\ \frac{ad}{bd} &= \frac{bc}{bd} && \text{The denominators are the same, so the tops are equal}.\\ ad &= bc\end{align*}
Example 8: Your parents have an architect's drawing of their home. On the paper, the house's dimensions are 36 in by 30 in. If the shorter length of the house is actually 50 feet, what is the longer length?
Solution: Set up a proportion. If the shorter length is 50 feet, then it lines up with 30 in, the shorter length of the paper dimensions.
\begin{align*}\frac{30}{36} = \frac{50}{x} \longrightarrow \ 1800 &=30x\\ 60 &=x \quad \quad \text{The longer length is 60 feet.}\end{align*}
Properties of Proportions
The Cross-Multiplication Theorem has several sub-theorems, called corollaries.
Corollary: A theorem that follows directly from another theorem.
Below are three corollaries that are immediate results of the Cross Multiplication Theorem.
Corollary 7-1: If \begin{align*}a, b, c,\end{align*} and \begin{align*}d\end{align*} are nonzero and \begin{align*}\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}\end{align*}, then \begin{align*}\frac{a}{c} = \frac{b}{d}\end{align*}. Switch \begin{align*}b\end{align*} and \begin{align*}c\end{align*}.
Corollary 7-2: If \begin{align*}a, b, c,\end{align*} and \begin{align*}d\end{align*} are nonzero and \begin{align*}\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}\end{align*}, then \begin{align*}\frac{d}{b} = \frac{c}{a}\end{align*}. Switch \begin{align*}a\end{align*} and \begin{align*}d\end{align*}.
Corollary 7-3: If \begin{align*}a, b, c,\end{align*} and \begin{align*}d\end{align*} are nonzero and \begin{align*}\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}\end{align*}, then \begin{align*}\frac{b}{a} = \frac{c}{d}\end{align*}. Flip each ratio upside down.
In each corollary, you will still end up with \begin{align*}ad=bc\end{align*} after cross-multiplying.
Example 9: Suppose we have the proportion \begin{align*}\frac{2}{5} = \frac{14}{35}\end{align*}. Write three true proportions that follow.
Solution: First of all, we know this is a true proportion because you would multiply \begin{align*}\frac{2}{5}\end{align*} by \begin{align*}\frac{7}{7}\end{align*} to get \begin{align*}\frac{14}{35}\end{align*}. Using the three corollaries:
- \begin{align*}\frac{2}{14} = \frac{5}{35}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}\frac{35}{5} = \frac{14}{2}\end{align*}
- \begin{align*}\frac{5}{2} = \frac{35}{14}\end{align*}
Corollary 7-4: If \begin{align*}a, b, c,\end{align*} and \begin{align*}d\end{align*} are nonzero and \begin{align*}\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}\end{align*}, then \begin{align*}\frac{a+b}{b} = \frac{c+d}{d}\end{align*}.
Corollary 7-5: If \begin{align*}a, b, c,\end{align*} and \begin{align*}d\end{align*} are nonzero and \begin{align*}\frac{a}{b} = \frac{c}{d}\end{align*}, then \begin{align*}\frac{a-b}{b} = \frac{c-d}{d}\end{align*}.
Example 10: In the picture, \begin{align*}\frac{AB}{XY} = \frac{BC}{YZ} = \frac{AC}{XZ}\end{align*}.
Find the measures of \begin{align*}AC\end{align*} and \begin{align*}XY\end{align*}.
Solution: Plug in the lengths of the sides we know.
Example 11: In the picture, \begin{align*}\frac{ED}{AD} = \frac{BC}{AC}\end{align*}. Find \begin{align*}y\end{align*}.
Solution: Substitute in the lengths of the sides we know.
\begin{align*}\frac{6}{y} = \frac{8}{12+8} \ \longrightarrow \ 8y &= 6(20)\\ y &= 15\end{align*}
Example 12: If \begin{align*}\frac{AB}{BE} = \frac{AC}{CD}\end{align*} in the picture above, find \begin{align*}BE\end{align*}.
\begin{align*}\frac{12}{BE} = \frac{20}{25} \ \longrightarrow \ {20(BE)} & = 12(25)\\ BE & = 15\end{align*}
Know What? Revisited Everything needs to be scaled down by a factor of \begin{align*}\frac{1}{18} (144 \ in \div 8 \ in)\end{align*}. Change everything into inches and then multiply by the scale factor.
\begin{align*}\underline{\text{Bed}}: \ 36 \ \text{in by}\ 75 \ \text{in} \ \longrightarrow \ 2 \ \text{in by}\ 4.167 \ \text{in}\!\\ \underline{\text{Desk}}: \ 48 \ \text{in by}\ 24 \ \text{in} \ \longrightarrow 2.67 \ \text{in by}\ 1.33 \ \text{in}\end{align*}
