This chapter introduces the book "Naturally occurring bioactive compounds." The systematic study of herbal medicinal products and the investigation of the biologically active principles of phytomedicines, including their clinical applications, standardization, quality control, mode of action, and potential drug interactions have emerged as one of the most exciting developments in modern therapeutics and medicine. Healthcare practitioners and medical scientists have come to accept herbal medicinal products as drugs that are different from the pharmacologically active molecules that they may contain. The book presents to the scientists and clinicians the state of current knowledge in various fields of phytomedicine research, development, and use.

Medicinal plants are of great interest as starting material for identification of new biologically active compounds. A large number of low-molecular-weight compounds isolated from plants or microorganisms have already been identified as effective in diseases as diverse as HIV infection, herpes simplex, neuroblastoma, and breast cancer. Some drugs that emerged from this process are already in the late-phase clinical trials. The first step for the identification of bioactive compounds in the biomedical field is the screening of extracts from different tissues of several medicinal plants for a given activity (for instance, in vitro antiproliferative activity). To this aim, the method of extraction of bioactive compounds is crucial. The second step is the fractionation and the characterization of the plant extracts exhibiting the desired biological activity. This step takes advantage from several analytical and preparative procedures, among which preparative and analytic high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), several HPLC-based methods, such as HPLC/MS, gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), surface plasmon resonance (SPR)-based biospecific interaction analysis (BIA) employing biosensors. Applications of these methodologies to the screening, identification, purification, and characterization of bioactive compounds from medicinal plants are described in this review.

A downloadable PDF file of the poem "The Rainbow Bridge" is available on the Freckled Paws website. "The Rainbow Bridge," whose author is unknown, is a poem that is designed to help pet owners cope with the loss of a beloved pet. The poem talks about where a pet goes after its death, how happy it is now that its suffering has ended and how it is waiting for the owner in the afterlife.
The website Rainbow Bridge allows pet owners to create a living memorial to their beloved pet for a nominal monthly fee. Owners can select a memorial stone and an area where that stone can be placed on the Rainbow Bridge. Photos of the pet can also go there as well as icons representing items the pet liked, such as flowers and toys. The site states that a portion of the monthly fee is donated to animal shelters and rescue organizations in the pet's name.
As with any death, the loss of a pet is a difficult blow to its owners. As noted by the website, grief counselors Doctors Foster and Smith recommend positive actions to help relieve the grief that a pet's death brings, such as creating a memorial in the pet's honor. Others include framing photographs of the pet, planting a tree or flowers in its memory, creating a scrapbook featuring the pet or making a donation to a local animal shelter or rescue organization.

About Osugi Sakae
2014-06 Update: Hi, if you are reading this page, please understand that it is out of date. I can't bring myself to edit or remove it, so I have added a new About page at About Chris Spackman. After you finish this page, feel free to head over to the new page and see what I have been upto since coming back to the States in late 2008.
Osugi Sakae (大杉 栄 Ōsugi Sakae, January 17, 1885–September 16, 1923) was a radical individualist and anarchist. He published numerous anarchist periodicals, helped translate various western anarchist essays into Japanese for the first time, and created Japan's first Esperanto school in 1906. He, Noe Itō, and his nephew were murdered in what became known as the Amakasu Incident.
Text and image from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osugi_Sakae
I am not Ōsugi Sakae. My name is Chris Spackman and I studied Ōsugi Sakae's life and writings in school before coming to Japan. This is my personal website. (My history-related web stuff is at www.openhistory.org.)
I live in Kanazawa, Japan, a wonderful city of about half a million souls on the Japan Sea side of Honshu. My day job is "English Education Coordinator" for the Kanazawa City Board of Education. Basically, that means that my coworkers and I help run the English program for the 58 municipal elementary schools in Kanazawa.
I started using Linux in 1999 and was using it full time (not dual booting) by mid-2000. Haven't looked back since. Currently I run Gentoo with KDE at home on a home built AMD 64 box. I also have Fluxbox installed as a backup window manager and also have Gnome installed for my wife to use. Unfortunately, I am forced to use MS Windows XP at work.
Even before I started using Linux, though, I was working on a web site related to Japanese history. Originally it was published under an opencontent license – this was before the GNU FDL, Creative Commons, or Wikipedia even existed! Now I maintain OpenHistory and the encyclopedia and introduction to Japanese history text are published under the FDL.

A deadly oil pipe explosion killing at least 47 people in eastern China has caused China's shares to drop on Monday, following a 4 per cent slip in share-prices of the exploded oil-line operator Sinopec.
The incident, first reported on Friday evening, has knocked out crude oil pipe lines around Qingdao, in the east-Chinese Shandong Province, as the government of China ordered the pipelines to be inspected.
Qingdao is one of China's largest crude oil import terminals, supplying crude oil to two major Sinopec refineries - the Qingdao plant and Sinopec Qilu Petrochemical Corp. Both refineries have had their crude oil supplies cut off after the disaster, forcing them to switch to oil reserves to keep operations going.
According to Chinese state news agency Xinhua, the leaking pipeline has been in use since July 1986, with an annual oil transfer capacity of 10 million tonnes. It measures 71.1cm (28 in) in diameter and is about 250km (154 miles) long.
After the explosion the Huangdao oil terminal in Qingdao stopped operations, ship brokers and a port official said on Friday. The local government said oil had spilled into the port, which had also caught fire, but a port official said the port had not been affected.
The disaster appeared to be Sinopec's deadliest and was one of the worst industrial disasters in China this year. In June, a fire at a poultry factory in the northeast killed 121 people.
According to available information, the Qilu refinery, processing about 220,000 barrels per day, has not stopped refining nor reduced production but it was now drawing down its crude inventories, which will last about four to five days.
There was no information available regarding the situation at the second Sinopec-owned refinery Qingdao.
The explosion comes as authorities scrutinise possible corruption at China's leading oil companies. Former head of China National Petroleum Company, Jiang Jiemin, and other senior officials at Petrochina were placed under investigation in September.
Sinopec Chairman Fu Chengyu apologised to the people of Qingdao during a visit to the scene, the company's Weibo microblog said on Saturday.
"(We) will do whatever it takes to go all out in rescue, relief and rehabilitation work, coordinating with the State Council incident investigation group to find the cause," it said.
President Xi Jinping called on local authorities to "spare no effort to rescue the injured and strengthen safety to eradicate such incidents", state news agency Xinhua said.

|Brief Summary
|The objective of this study is to develop a structured and evidence-based self-management program to cope with cancer-related fatigue and to assess the efficacy of the intervention in cancer survivors.
|Detailed Description
Cancer-related fatigue (CRF) and its impact on patients quality of life has been an increasing subject of research. However, in Germany exists a lack of evidence-based interventions consistent with the multidimensional character of fatigue. The objective of this study is to develop and evaluate a self-management program for disease-free cancer patients to cope with CRF.
Based on evidence extracted from a literature review a curriculum for the self-management program was elaborated. The curriculum is currently being reviewed and validated by an expert group of oncologists, psycho-oncologists, nurses, social workers, physical therapists, health scientists, and patients. The modules will be pretested with a small number of patients, discussed in terms of feasibility and acceptance.
To determine the efficacy of the program a randomised controlled trial will be conducted: 300 patients will be allocated to an intervention or a waiting control group. Data will be collected before randomisation, after intervention, and after a follow-up of 6 months.
As essential subjects for the curriculum were identified:
The program aims at impacting on health-related self-efficacy by the training of problem solving, goal setting, and cognitive techniques as knowledge transfer hasn't proved sufficient to achieve changes in behaviour. According to this we developed a curriculum wherein detailed information for every module concerning objectives, background, didactic methods and materials are provided. Based on the curriculum train-the-trainer seminars are held in order to educate on moderation techniques, group dynamics, and clinical background of CRF. The program will be administered by qualified health professionals in groups of eight patients. It includes six weekly sessions 90 minutes each dealing with the topics listed above.
The results of the pre-test are currently being analysed.
Due to the fact that there are no comparable self-management programs for cancer survivors with fatigue the development of the curriculum has been complex. Therefore the critical appraisal by the experts was an important step to validate the program: their contributions have been integrated into the curriculum. The experts appreciated the program as filling in a gap of outpatient cancer care.

This charge is bogus. Plenty of real things to criticize him for. No need to make stuff up.
"Barry still could not get a real job, because he was still a fraud, even with his Harvard degree in hand he could lie and take the Bar exam, but he could not work as a lawyer for a major law firm without a back ground investigation and he would never pass one. So, Michelle got Barry a job at her law firm. Barry never filed a case alone and never filed a motion. He wrote lots of memos according to the law firm where Barry worked. (I think they know Barry is a fraud and don't want to be sued by previous clients) Barry rescinded his law licenses, so as not to be disbarred for fraud. The Bar knows Barry lied on his application. Michelle also had to turn over her law license for her involvement in corruption with the Chicago mayors office. "
They both obtained licenses to practice law, but were terminated without any explanation as to why or by whom. Would be very interesting given the fact that both of them were involved in some shady circumstances where hundreds of thousands of dollars changed hands with very little supporting evidence...
So, we have the first black President and First Lady - who don't actually have licenses to practice law.
And, both seem to lacking moral scruples as well. Nice job on your 2008 election selection, other half of America!
There are already a large number of law school graduates who haven't been able to find work as attorneys and have taken other jobs. If the Obama's had kept their law licenses, they would increase those numbers.
Michelle "voluntarily surrendered" her law license in 1993? That's only five years after graduating from Harvard Law!
Where I live, you have to renew your license every year and you must remain an active membership in the Bar. To keep the license, you must also complete so many hours of continuing legal education.
Since neither of the Obamas need a license to plunder and pillage this country, it makes sense for them to allow their licenses to lapse.
I read that her hospital job was a made up one to help the poor get proper healthcare...ha ha...but I digress.
Legal Counsel to the hospital?
She was???
For what it's worth.... I have no idea if this is valid.
President Obama graduated from Harvard Law School in 1991 and was admitted as a lawyer by the Supreme Court of Illinois on Dec. 17, 1991. Prior to being elected to the Illinois state Senate in 1996, he worked as a civil rights lawyer at the firm formerly known as Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Four days after Obama announced that he would run for president in February 2007, he voluntarily elected to have his law license placed on inactive status, according to Grogan. Then, after becoming president, he elected to change his status to retired in February 2009.
Michelle Obama graduated from Harvard Law School in 1988, and was admitted as a lawyer by the Supreme Court of Illinois on May 12, 1989. Following graduation, she joined Sidley Austin, a corporate law firm in Chicago. But a few years later, in 1994, while working for the Public Allies project in Chicago, Obama voluntarily had her license placed on inactive status.
But the claim that the Obamas surrendered their licenses to avoid ethics charges has no basis in fact. Neither of the Obamas has any public record of discipline or pending proceedings against them, according to the online public registration records of the ARDC. We also confirmed that with Grogan, who said that the Obamas were never the subject of any public disciplinary proceedings.
The Obamas havent said exactly what prompted them to change the status of their licenses. But Grogan said that it was fairly common for lawyers who didnt intend to continue practicing law to go on inactive status. It was actually one of the reasons, he said, that the rule was changed so that lawyers wanting to switch to inactive status no longer had to petition the Illinois Supreme Court to do so. In 2011, more than 12 percent of the states 87,943 registered attorneys were on inactive status (see Chart 2), according to the ARDCs annual report for that year.
In addition, prior to June 5, 2012, the Obamas would have been required to pay an annual fee of $289 (now $342), and take classes to satisfy the states Minimum Continuing Legal Education requirement, in order to keep their licenses active. Lawyers on retirement status, however, dont have to pay an annual fee or take classes. And lawyers on inactive status also dont have to take classes, but they do have to pay an annual fee of $105.
Perhaps one reason for these false claims is that the online registration record used to list Michelle Obama as being on court ordered inactive status. But that wasnt because of any wrongdoing. As previously mentioned, before 1999, an Illinois Supreme Court rule required active lawyers who wanted to change their registration status to do so by petitioning the court.
end snip
Many times, this is done with licenses that, for instance, require continuing education every year to maintain the license.
This is an option many choose when they move out of state and/or take a break from practicing law but still want to maintain their license for future uses. In other words, when the license holder does not want to or practically can not maintain the continuing education requirements.
Just googled her hospital job.
It was created for her and was called,
VP for Community and External Affairs.
It was eliminated after she left it.
Not a job as Legal Counsel, no way.
I'm not knocking all of your points or facts.
But there's no reason for the Obamas to maintain active law licenses as they haven't even claimed to practice law for many years.
Neither of these two free-riders ever put their law licenses to good use. Imagine Barry or Michelle not lying under oath. It's not easy, even if you try. So, it matters little if they really let their licenses lapse, or lost them. Either way, they are bums. ...Their friend Holder needs to lose his law licenses as soon as possible.
BambamKennedy is the law, no need for a license when one has become 'god'. Think Christ was not talking to this generation when He spoke of those who sit in Moses seat? The whole chapter of Matthew 23. Christ's words "to the multitude and to His Disciple, (2)Saying, "The scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat: The rest of the chapter reads like it describes all pillars of a supposed functioning society. Political, economic, educational, and last but certainly not least 'religious'. BambamKennedy picks and uses GOD (it is Written the WORD is God) when it suits his political purposes... He sure has the ability to rule from that 'bully' pulpit...
She wasn't legal counsel for the hospital.
Wrong. The article is invalid.
Moochelle's job at the U of C Medical Center did not require a law license, which she had let lapse. It needed only good connections, which she had kept up. She was appointed "vice president for community and external affairs" in 2005.
Apparently, her job at the non-profit hospital was to work to steer the poor uninsured away from its emergency room and dump them on community medical centers.
Wrong. The article is invalid.
Moochelle's job at the U of C Medical Center did not require a law license, which she had let lapse. It needed only good connections, which she had kept up. She was appointed "vice president for community and external affairs" in 2005.
Apparently, her job at the non-profit hospital was to work to steer the poor uninsured away from its emergency room and dump them on community medical centers.
SIAP but that is old news.
I don't doubt fraud is at the center but how do you know it's insurance fraud??
Good Posting!!
I read bloggs in 2009 that stated that Obama had to give his Law License up because on his application he checked "No Alias Names"
He was know as "Barry Soetoro" in Indonesia so this was False information!!
Michelle did some shady deals when working for the Wealthy Hospital.....
She instituted the program to have poor people transported to other hospitals instead of being seen at ER of this Wealthy Hospital..... Not sure if she lost her license before this. I did not know about the Insurance Fraud Charge!!..... Interesting!!
Something is definely "ROTTEN" here..... You do not surrender your Law License for no reason!!

Beef up your presence on mobile phones, a marketing expert told Inland restaurateurs on Wednesday.
"Facebook, where do they look for the future? They go to high schools, and the numbers are huge on mobile devices," said Mike Hooper, creative director of XCEL Creative, Inc., an agency based in Murrieta.
"So if your website is not on mobile, this is a great sign to make that step."
Hooper was speaking about the power of the social media platform Yelp at a food service seminar put on by the Corona Chamber of Commerce and the city of Corona. The event was in City Hall.
Yelp creates web pages about restaurants and other businesses, where its users post star ratings and reviews.
It has an average of 142 million monthly users, 23 million on mobile apps, 69 million on mobile web, and 73 million on desktops.
Of them, 41.9 percent are in the coveted 18-to-34 age group. And 46.9 percent have incomes more than $100,000.
"Yelp users are people you mostly likely want to come to your business," Hooper said. "You have the younger generation playing Pokémon Go and so forth come in, and you have people making over six figures."
Four out of five Yelp users visit the site when they plan to spend money, he said, often by asking Siri for restaurant information on their mobiles.
Many businesses are afraid of being smeared by Yelp reviewers, but Hooper said they can use the site to their advantage.
Here are some of his tips.
Claim your business: Set up a Yelp account and correct data the Yelp collects from public sources, such as phone numbers and addresses.
Provide photos: Hire a photographer to take appetizing pictures of your menu items, or at least take careful photos of your own. These images can neutralize any ugly ones that users post with their reviews.
Answer reviewers: Thank positive reviewers promptly and publicly. Research criticisms and craft a well-worded response to negative comments.
Request reviews: Ask diners to post reviews, especially those in the demographic that use Yelp. But be careful. Don't ask for a positive review and avoid any appearance of paying for a review.
Use free tools: Post deals on Yelp, check your Yelp web traffic. Use Yelp and other social media sites to mine data about your customers.
Don't forget Pokémon Go: Yelp has added a filter to help users find targets in the popular game.
"You can actually have a full advertising campaign if there's a Poke stop nearby," Hooper said. "Have this on Facebook with ads and so forth and really get it out there. Because they'll come from all over."

Amphiaraüs ăm˝fēərā´əs [key], in Greek mythology, a prophet, one of the ill-fated Seven against Thebes . He foresaw the disaster of the expedition, but Polynices bribed his wife, Eriphyle, with the magic necklace of Harmonia, to convince him to go. Before setting out he commanded his sons, Alcmaeon and Amphilochus, to avenge his death and to make a second expedition against Thebes. Amphiaraüs was also one of the Argonauts.

I hook rugs, I knit and I have a life - not always in that order. Hooking rugs in the traditional way is a passion. Knitting is a way of keeping those idle hands busy. In my life, I am a mother, partner, sister,aunt, friend and a happy grammy. I work with volunteers and seniors when I'm not doing those other things. I enjoy being creative - and often reinvent the wheel. Above all, I value things that are not only beautiful but useful.

Saturday Stash
I don't have much to show since I forgot to take photos of the last two soaker bibs for Gabby. Just for the record, the wicking effect of a wool bib is not a myth. it actually works. So, if you know a teething baby, this would be a great gift. Washable wool sock yarn held double works really well with Elaine Fitzpatrick's patterns. You can find oodles of these cute little critter bibs on her blog, Down Cloverlaine. Ooh! I just visited to get the link and she's created the cutest little dog - with a waggly tail. Take a look.
And here's half a pair of socks. These are Finchy Feet...can you see the colors of the pretty house finch? They will be for my grand-daughter who commented that she had outgrown all her Grammy socks. And winter is coming, you know. The patterned part is in Feather and Fan which I think is perfect for feet that fly like those finches.
And youngest grand-daughter needed a new sweater. She's growing, growing, growing. So, this is still in the bits and pieces stage. Just working on the hood now. Later, I'm going through the stash to find some fancy yarn to give this a bit of oomph! A little too plain for me.
Back to knitting...I have more unfinished stuff, I know. There are at least three projects that I'm not even talking about that sit quietly on the table and sigh with exaggerated patience. Soon, my dears, soon.

Those are great projects. I really love the colour of those socks and the little green sweater in your book. I think your pink sweater will look lovely when you are finished; especially when you add some fancy yarn. Happy knitting. I'm taking a break from my crocheting today.

Ooh, those socks are beautiful! She will love them! I love how she "hinted" that she needed new ones; kids are hilarious.
Can't wait to see Gaby's sweater made up, and what you create to enliven it. Happy Sunday Stephanie!

- Code: Select all
// TestArray.cls
Ubercode 1 class TestArray
type TStringArray[*:*] : array[*:*] of string[200]
public function main()
MyStrings : TStringArray[*:*]
call Redim(1, 4, MyStrings)
MyStrings[1] <- "Humpty"
MyStrings[2] <- "Dumpty"
MyStrings[3] <- "sat on the"
MyStrings[4] <- "wall"
call Msgbox("Test String Array", Str(MyStrings))
end function
end class
The program just shown declares a one-dimensional type TStringArray. The array is one-dimensional because it is declared using *:* for its size (the two stars represent the lower and upper bound of the one-dimensional array). The array type consists of strings with a maximum length of 200 characters per string. In function main a local array variable MyStrings is declared, based on the array type. The array variable is declared as resizable because it uses *:* for its size.
The code resizes the array to fit 4 strings (with a lower bound of 1 and an upper bound of 4), then the assignment statements copy 4 strings into the array. Finally the Msgbox displays the contents of the array.

The spectacle of our gaggle of beached seaplanes becomes evident when a local fellow walks up, mouth agape, points, and says with a thick Alabama drawl, "What is that?"
That is a Beech 18 on straight floats, and, yes, it alone is quite an unusual sight on Eufaula Lake in southern Alabama. In fact, because only about six are flying, it's quite a sight anywhere.
The 1944 radial-engine twin along with the other four seaplanes definitely has the attention of the few families picnicking and fishing along the shore on this warm, sunny autumn Sunday. Most have never seen a floatplane before, and certainly not one—or five—on this remote corner of their lake.
Five of us pile out of the old Beech 18, shoes off, pant legs rolled up, wading the last few feet to shore. I hand Nikali Pontecorvo (let's just call him "Nick") the anchor from the aft cabin and he shoves it in the sand while I tighten the line, keeping the 18 from drifting into the Cessna 180 on floats backed in next to us. Nick wades out, pops open the float compartment and begins unloading red plastic gas cans, hands them to me, and I hoist them up on the wing to AOPA President and CEO Mark Baker, owner of this polished aluminum gem. He hands them over the top to Greg Herrick, who begins pouring the 100LL into the softball-sized filler port on the right wing.
It takes a village to keep this 70-year-old flying.
Meanwhile, beside us, the pilots and passengers of the Cessna 180, Piper Super Cub, and Cessna 172 perform similar feats, although at a lesser scale than the lumbering Beech demands. Herrick adds oil to the big Pratt & Whitney radials by the gallon, after all.
One from our cohort, flying a Cessna 182 on amphibious floats, has landed at an airport of all places, to get his fuel; conveniently pumped out of a truck, no doubt. The rest of us, all on straight floats, don't have that luxury.
A cooler is dragged from the 18, sandwiches get made on the beach, and we take a break from our trek from cool and drizzly Minnesota to sunny Florida where the seaplanes are headed for the winter.
The caravan started two days earlier when we left Minneapolis, flying low over the Mississippi River to Le Claire, Iowa.
As we motor by, coveys of migrating coots and ducks form massive patches on the river, which looks like a north/south seam in the fabric of landscape. Barges long as a city block trudge up and down the massive waterway, seemingly hemmed in on each side by busy railroads and highways. Like stitches in the landscape, bridges span the river, linking Minnesota and Wisconsin, Illinois and Iowa. River town after river town passes our wing tips, streets lined with trees in full autumn glory. With names like Winona, La Crosse, Dubuque, and Clinton, it's like we're flying through an early explorer's notebook. Not a ripple of turbulence disturbs our airborne perch.
Just north of Moline and Davenport, Baker spots the dock at Le Claire and sets up for a fly by for the waiting media and townsfolk. Down river, he cranks the 18 around and heads north, expertly splashing the airplane onto the river, slowly taxiing up to the dock where Brian Schanche, pilot of the Cessna 180, is there to grab a rope from Herrick, who has stepped out on the float.
The other airplanes trickle in and line up along the dock as suitcases and gear empty from the airplanes. The two local TV reporters grab a sound bite from Schanche, the organizer of the seaplane migration. He owns Adventure Seaplanes, which trains seaplane pilots out of Surfside Seaplane Base near Minneapolis in the summer and out of Cherry Pocket on Lake Pearce south of Orlando in the winter. Schanche has done this trip before, but usually with just two or three airplanes. Our gaggle of five, especially with the classic Beech, amps up the dock appeal and, with 14 people involved, the logistics. Three of his airplanes are flying with CFIs in the right seat and seaplane students in the left, gaining valuable cross-country seaplane experience. Once in Florida, they will take their checkrides.
Longtime seaplane pilot and friend of Schanche George Millar and his wife Jody host us in Le Claire, where that evening we and the airplanes are the talk of the town.
Millar has rigged up a fuel tank on a trailer to fuel our fleet, and the next morning under bright blue skies we trundle off the water, headed southeast. The colorful leaves turn more rust colored as we progress, dropping into Green Turtle Marina at Grand Rivers, Ky., just south of Paducah, for another fuel stop.
The requirement to land on water—and water where you have a hope of finding fuel—definitely makes flight planning a challenge when flying cross country in airplanes with straight floats. The advantage of amphibious floats becomes obvious.
The red gas cans are dragged out of the float compartments and we're soon hoisting fuel up and over the polished wings on the Beech 18.
Soon, Alabama's Guntersville Lake scrolls into view, and with much coaching from Baker, I plunk the 18 onto the water, powering up for long taxi to an actual seaplane dock, which is located right off the end of the runway at Joe Starnes Field. Once again, a crowd awaits, delighted to see the airplanes on the sparkling lake under a golden sunset.
Airport manager Matt Metcalfe dons chest waders to help secure the flotilla. Metcalfe, the winner of an AOPA Flight Training Scholarship in 2012, is managing the airport's runway expansion project. An ATV pulls up, tugging a fuel tank on a trailer and the fueling begins again as the crowd watches. Sensing a future seaplane pilot, Baker asks Metcalfe if he wants a ride in the 18. He doesn't have to ask twice, and away they go.
The next morning, we set sights for Eufaula Lake in southern Alabama, our final fuel stop before hitting Schanche's place in Florida.
A hasty tailwind pushes us over flat Florida and I replay the last couple of days of flying in my head. While the seaplanes bring a whole new dimension to flying, what's the same are the people and small intersections between them in aviation. Thomas Walter, a German pilot for Lufthansa, is piloting his Cessna 182 on amphibious floats, making the trip simply because he enjoys the people he's gotten to know through Schanche. With him are Colleen and James Roberts, who answered an ad he placed to simply fill the seats on the trip. James Roberts is considering buying a 182 on floats to use in the Northwest and Alaska, so it was a chance to get some time in one. When stepping out of the office at Surfside before the trip started, they ran into Nick—owner of Key West Seaplanes. Nick flew up from Key West, just for the chance to get some stick time in the Beech 18 and to hang with his friends Herrick, Baker, and Schanche. But James and Colleen quickly recognize Nick as the pilot who flew them to a remote Key West island where they got married on the beach Dec. 12, 2012. In aviation, it seems like about two degrees of separation, not six.
We make a low pass down the runway at Fantasy of Flight just west of Orlando. Owner Kermit Weeks is standing on the wing of an airplane as we buzz by. He's friends with Baker and Herrick, who, like Weeks, is a collector of classic and antique airplanes.
In no time, we're set up for final on Lake Pearce, where Nick brings the 18 down to the water. We all peer outside, looking for one of the thousands of alligators that supposedly call the lake home—not a place to find yourself suddenly in the water.
We taxi up to the dock at Schanche's Florida operation, ending our seaplane odyssey, but only beginning relationships with newfound friends.

Eddie Redmayne: Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman are 'superhuman'
- Bang Showbiz
- 2 January 2013
Eddie Redmayne was impressed with his 'Les Miserables' co-stars Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman's acting skills
Eddie Redmayne thinks Russell Crowe and Hugh Jackman are "superhuman" actors.
The 30-year-old star was thrilled to work with the talented action veterans in musical drama 'Les Miserables' and says they were perfect to play the film's rugged male leads because they are the ultimate Hollywood superheroes.
He joked: "They're both superhuman men in real life. And Jean Valjean, Hugh's character, is massive - he lifts carts! Russell is Javert, a policeman who has a vendetta against Jean Valjean.
"In some ways the thread through the movie is, 'Who would win in a fight?' And I love the idea of, 'Who do you cast against Wolverine? Gladiator!'"
Eddie loved the freedom that Tom Hooper's innovative directorial style afforded the cast, who had to sing live, but he admitted the intense shoot was tough on everyone's vocal chords.
He told InStyle magazine: "You had no restrictions. You could change the tempo of a song instead of lip-syncing over what you recorded three months earlier. But we shot six days a week from 5 in the morning until 11 at night.
"The fear was you'd turn up one day to do your big number and have no voice. The poor crew constantly had to find humidifiers and make tea with honey and lemon for us. We were ridiculous."
'Les Miserables' is expected to feature on the Oscars nominations list when it is revealed on January 10, after receiving four Golden Globe nods including Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Anne Hathaway.

Servicemembers in Bahrain urged to be cautious ahead of election
By STARS AND STRIPES Published: November 20, 2014
MANAMA, Bahrain — U.S. officials are warning servicemembers stationed here about increased protest activity ahead of national elections.
Parliamentary and municipal elections are being held Saturday and Nov. 29 throughout the kingdom, which is home to the U.S. Navy 5th Fleet and about 8,200 U.S. personnel and family members.
The Al-Wefaq National Islamic Society, Bahrain's main opposition group, has questioned the legitimacy of the elections and promised to boycott them.
Bahrain has experienced sporadic unrest since February 2011 when authorities crushed the Shiite-dominated opposition movement, which took to the streets to demand greater political rights from the Sunni monarchy.
In an anti-terrorism force protection notice posted on 5th Fleet's Facebook page, officials also warned to be careful about suspicious packages, tire fires and clashes with police during the pre-election and election days. The message urged U.S. personnel to stay away from polling station areas, which include several popular venues, such as malls, that Americans typically visit.
Bahrain's security officials are expected to boost security around the country during the elections. Security personnel have prepared for various scenarios and will monitor groups and individuals who may try to disrupt the elections, the Interior Ministry said Wednesday in a news release.
On Tuesday, a taxi was gutted in a Molotov cocktail attack in a village in the eastern part of the island. No injuries were reported.

Public health officials used their strongest language to date in warning about a Zika outbreak in the United States, as the Obama administration lobbied Congress for $1.9 billion to combat the mosquito-borne virus.
"Most of what we've learned is not reassuring," said Dr. Anne Schuchat, the principal deputy director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "Everything we look at with this virus seems to be a bit scarier than we initially thought."
|CLICK MAPS to ENLARGE
As summer approaches, officials are warning that mosquito eradication efforts, lab tests and vaccine research may not be able to catch up. There are 346 cases of Zika confirmed in the continental United States — all in people who had recently traveled to Zika-prone countries, according to the most recent CDC report. Of those, 32 were in pregnant women, and seven were sexually transmitted.
But in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and American Samoa, the virus is now being transmitted locally. Of the 354 cases in the territories, only three are travel-related, and 37 involved pregnant women.
Schuchat said the virus has been linked to a broader array of birth defects throughout a longer period of pregnancy, including premature birth and blindness in addition to the smaller brain size caused by microcephaly. The potential geographic range of the mosquitoes transmitting the virus also reaches farther northward, with the Aedes aegypti species present in all or part of 30 states, not just 12. And it can be spread sexually, causing the CDC to update its guidance to couples.Read the rest of the story HERE and view a related video below:

This Buddhist temple was once called Puzhao Temple [Universal Grace Temple]. It was first built during the Tang Dynasty [618-900] and was later destroyed in the warfare during the Ming Dynasty [1368-1644]. During the reign of Qing Emperor Kangxi [1662-1722], a naval general ordered it to be rebuilt into a Buddhist Temple and named it Nanputuo Temple.
The temple covers 30,000 square meters with four main buildings on the north-south axis. The buildings include Devajara Hall [the Hall of Heavenly Kings], Mahavira Hall [Daxiongbaodian], Dabei Hall [the Hall of Great Compassion] and a Pavilion built in 1936 in which Buddhist scriptures, Buddha images from Burma, ivory sculptures and other works of art are stored.
The many rooms flanking the main buildings include dormitories, libraries and study rooms for monks:
Devajara Hall aka the Hall of Heavenly Kings [Tian Wang Dian] is the first Hall which you see as you walk-in. Here is the location of the statues of four ferocious Heavenly Kings. In the center of the hall stands a fat Buddha, Maitreya or Milefo. With a broad smile, bare chest and exposed paunch, Maitreya represents the Buddha of the future also known as the Laughing Buddha.
Mahavira Hall is built in 1921 and features the statues of the Trinity of the Three Ages [Sakyamuni - the Buddha of the Present; Kasyapa - the Buddha of the Past and Maitreya - the Buddha of the Future], Avalokitesvara - Guanyin Bodhisattva, the Goddess of Mercy and Avalokitesvara's disciples. Most of the attractive murals on the wall depict Buddhist stories and figures from India.
Dabei Hall - is an octagonal tower which was rebuilt in 1928. There are four Statues of Avalokitesvara enshrined on a lotus-flower base. The Bodhisattva with his arms crossed in front of his chest has 48 hands stretching out. Each hand features a miniature scared eye. Two banyans are planted on each side of the hall.
Sutra-Keeping Pavilion - was built in 1936 and houses thousands of Buddhist scriptures, Buddha images from Burma, ivory sculptures, wood sculptures, bronze bells, incense burner and other works of art. One particular porcelain Avalokitesvara in the Pavilion is said to be very precious.
Vegetarian food is also served in the temple. The dishes' unique colors, fresh tastes and poetic names make them popular with the tourists.
I did not managed to take photos in some of the halls because I was told not to especially those statues enshrined in the glass cases. Many other areas are under renovation during my visit.

Would you like to be an OAC peer assessor?
Do you know someone who would make a good OAC assessor?
Peer assessment is an important principle and practice for the Ontario Arts Council (OAC). Every year, OAC invites Ontario arts professionals (artists and arts managers) and community representatives (people who have experience on the boards of arts organizations) to serve as assessors. Assessors review applications and either decide or make recommendations on grant recipients and amounts, depending on the program. A new assessment panel is formed for most granting program deadlines. More than half of the assessors who assess applications to OAC's programs annually are participating in this process for the first time.
Assessors represent a broad range of perspectives and people with expertise in the arts. The composition of an advisory panel or jury represents the range of applications in the competition and includes arts professionals who are Artists of Colour, Deaf Artists and Artists with Disabilities, Francophone Artists, Indigenous Artists, New Generation Artists (18-30 year olds), and Artists Living in Regions Outside Toronto.
The OAC is committed to accessible participation. Assessors are paid a fee for their time and for reading applications. The OAC covers travel, meals and accommodation for assessors, and may support childcare costs. Accessibility expenses or supports that may be necessary to participate in a jury or advisory panel will be covered or accommodated.
If you would like to be considered as an OAC peer assessor please provide us with the information below. This information will be sent to the appropriate program officer to support the assembly of representative assessment panels. In any given year we receive more names than we can accommodate, so do not be discouraged if you are not contacted immediately. We will keep your information on file and contact you if an opportunity arises.
If you know someone whom you would like to recommend, please forward this form to them and encourage them to send in their information.

He is a multi-instrumentalist, playing guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, and vocals. He has compiled and recorded several of his original works in the Amber City Studios. Due to the large amount of interest generated by fans and friends, he is now making his original music available for downloading. Some of his music has been available at My Space. Jan has recently completed his first fully produced CD entitled "Hands of Time" with an All Star Cast of musicians. The CD was produced and arranged by Manny Moreira, long time friend and musician. In addition,legendary producer John Simon produced, scored and directed string arrangements on two songs "Artist" and "Hands of Time" CD. The CD is now available for sale on CD Baby. Individual songs are available for download at iTunes. Musicians such as Steve Holley, Vince Gericho, Leo Traversa, Mike Viseglia, Ted Baker, Rob Thomas, David Kuhn, Ray Marchica, Curt Briggs, Paul Woodill, Alejandra Maiave, Matt Goeke, Mary Gatchell, Matt Perri, Cliff Korman, Jonathan Peretz, Paul Shapiro all contributed to this musical production. "Hands of Time" encompasses a collection of songs of different genres ranging from retro-70's and 80's rock to jazz and fusion. We are currently in pre-production mode for Jan Wickline's second album featuring the Amber City Band. We are in the process of song selection and recording of demo tracks. We are also deciding on additional guest musicians that will perform on the album. Progress of the album will be updated on this website periodically. A release date has not been set as of yet. You can e-mail us at email@example.com for more information.
We have several fundraisers and charitable events in the works. No dates have been established as of yet. We will be performing our original music in concert at the Brentwood Public Library on October 4th, 2009 at 2 pm. Seating is limited so please come early.
I have spent the better part of my life as a songwriter and musician. At age 2, I started banging around pots and pans and anything else that made sounds or played music. When I was 3 years old, we had an uncle who came to live with us. He had a collection of music which seemed to me at the time to be odd and strange. He had everything from merengues to early blues, Louis Armstrong to Benny Goodman; calypso by Harry Belafonte to Serkovia; even a bit of American folk music such as the Kingston Trio. This early exposure to world music made a great impression on me. I was immersed in music even before my first taste of American rock and roll prior to the British invasion. When the Beatles opened the door for songwriters, it seemed as if the floodgates had been opened. With it, hundreds maybe thousands of artists wanted the exposure and a defining sound. I was only eight when the Beatles first appeared. Although I didn't own, let alone play an instrument except sing, I already knew what I was going to do with my life. I don't think I regretted my decision once in the last 40 years or so. The drive to perform and compose was so strong. As a kid growing up in Coney Island, if you had the time,I always had a song. I'd make them up on the spot and sometimes I'd get a nickel or a few pennies. Sometimes I got smiles from the girls living on my block. It wasn't the money or attention so much as what I did. Music to me is not just a profession but a spiritual path. It's my destiny, my love, my life. If I have something musically to say it must be said and there is no way around it nor do I want there to be. My compositions are written in several different styles, but I feel there is a common thread through them that defines them as my own. If you have a moment I would like to share my music with you. If you have a few minutes, I've got a song.
When I am asked what type of music I play, I am at a loss for words which is a problem that doesn't occur often in my life. I play rock, hard and soft, some metal, some folk, British early retro, art rock and fusion. Fusion is by definition more than one style such as jazz and rock. Today we have fusions of every kind of music and I believe it's only limited by your imagination. One can combine a little Eastern modal fusion with some Latin and African percussion layered over synthetic ambient pads of strings phasing in and out of time. Add an occasional key change and polyrhythmic division of the beat. Think of sounds as building blocks that you throw up into the air, and then neatly or randomly stack them into structures either big or small gluing them together. It's not easy to describe music in physical ways because it exists while it is occurring. It then goes into its place in the memories of those who choose to give it a home, or it rests silently always ready for a chance to vibrate. It then takes on a physical quality of pushing waves of sound and moving the air around it. When it reaches its destination, your ear, it is reconstructed into the impulses your brain can understand. There it is where the idea becomes a reality instantly and then returns to being an idea but not before imparting a physical memory to the listener. Okay I know I've gone far off the old beaten track. This much I can say categorically. I play All World Music- a little bit of this and that. There are some styles that I like more than others. I can't classify my music as it would be easier to listen to it. But if you need to categorize it, you can file it under All World Music.

The Swedish pop charts have been very kind to the rest of the world over the years. The most obvious band to mention here are Abba, shortly followed by Europe, The Hives and more recently Avicii. It's safe to say the Swedes have a great track-record when it comes to catchy tunes. AOR revivalists H.E.A.T. have a lot to live up to but they definitely don't disappoint.
Swedish Idol winner, Erik Grönwall, is the current front-man of H.E.A.T. He certainly earns his place by embodying other great front men in rock throughout the album. In most places Grönwall coan be compared to a young Jon Bon Jovi on tracks such as 'Inferno' and title track 'Tearing Down The Walls' which also has shades of Skid Row vocalist Sebastian Bach. Lead single 'A Shot At Redemption' sees Grönwall channelling the late Michael Hutchence (from INXS), in a very catchy crowd anthem which should be a favourite at festivals this summer.
It's easy to compare H.E.A.T. to fellow Swedes Europe in places. The soft-rock synths complement the guitar work nicely with Grondall's powerful vocal. It is also fair to compare the five-piece to KISS, especially as Grönwall sang one of their songs on Swedish Idol, but also as there is a sense of the band and audience as one unit - much like the KISS army.
I wouldn't put it past Sweden to ask H.E.A.T. to represent them in Eurovison one year as the 'token rock band' of the competition. It is no insult to say they also have a pop-crossover appeal in many areas, much like their countrymen (and women), Abba. 'Mannequin Show' definitely echoes Abba's 'dark' period and another side of H.E.A.T. we should see more of. Although the final tracks don't have the same oomph as the preceding tracks, this is definitely a solid pop-rock album with roots in the 70s and 80s but still very current. H.E.A.T. definitely have a long career ahead of them on the rock scene and will be played on the digital 'rock' stations for years to come.
Words: Neale McGeever
H.E.A.T are playing Newcastle O2 Academy 2 on Saturday 17th May 2014
Tickets for all four concerts are can be ordered from the official H.E.A.T website - http://www.heatsweden.com/

Don't worry, I won't forget about the blog, I intend to update it as often as I can. I love you guys and I want to keep giving you content as much as I can!

Like most states, South Carolina offers financial compensation to qualifying employees who are injured on the job.
That compensation system is formally known as the South Carolina Workers' Compensation Commission, but most people simply call it "workers' comp."
Workers' comp provides many attractive benefits to an injured worker (and, in some cases, to family members of employees who've been killed in the course of their job duties). Those benefits include:
- Reimbursement for hospital and medical expenses
- Compensation for lost earnings
- Disability benefits
- Payment for rehabilitation services
- Medication expenses
- Certain travel expenses, if related to the injury
- Future medical expenses related to treatment and recovery (in some cases)
…Those benefits are available, even if the employer wasn't at-fault for the accident.
That might sound like a good deal, but recovering Workers' Compensation isn't as easy as it sounds. The system is complicated and very difficult to navigate. Moreover, the laws governing that system are sophisticated and sometimes confusing.
Innocent victims with legitimate claims are often wrongfully denied or, alternatively, are approved but receive much less than they deserve. For most, the whole procedure is an enormous hassle and a huge source of frustration – often with disappointing results.
An experienced Greenville Workers' Compensation lawyer can change that.
Attorney Paul Hammack offers more than 17 years of experience as an aggressive advocate for South Carolinians. He understands that it is fundamentally unfair for a person to work hard for a company, suffer an injury on the company's behalf, and then have to pay for that injury out of pocket.
Mr. Hammack is dedicated to balancing the scales of justice in South Carolina Workers' Compensation cases, and he shares that mission with everyone working at the Hammack Law Firm.
We're here to fight for hard-working South Carolinians – and to get them the money that they're owed.
How We Can Help
When you choose Hammack Law Firm, you're hiring someone to take care of the entire Workers' Compensation process for you, from beginning to end. An experienced Greenville workers' comp lawyer can help by:
- Filing the Paperwork – The SC Workers' Compensation system is bogged down with mind-numbing red tape. Many people are denied simply because they can't figure out the forms or their confusing instructions. Hammack Law Firm will ensure that your paperwork is filed properly, strategically, and on time.
- Proving Your Injury – We are prepared to work with expert witnesses and outside resources to offer clear and compelling proof of your injuries (as well as the damages you've incurred, as a result of those injuries).
- Maximizing Your Compensation – Our legal team will look for every available source of compensation under the law. We will work diligently to prove the full value of your damages, which are often much greater than the victims initially realize.
- Working Outside the System – While Workers' Compensation is generally an exclusive remedy, meaning you can't seek additional compensation elsewhere, there are exceptions. We'll work closely with you to determine whether the facts of your case might entitle you to additional compensation outside of the SC Workers' Compensation system.
- Avoiding Mistakes – It's all too easy to make a critical error, miss a deadline, or accidentally make a misrepresentation while trying to navigate the choppy waters of a workers' comp claim. The wrong kind of mistake could land you in hot water. An experienced Greenville Workers' Compensation lawyer can help you steer clear of common pitfalls.
Leading Causes of Workplace Accidents in South Carolina
Millions of workers are injured on the job every year in America, and thousands lose their lives. Those workplace accidents are nearly as common in South Carolina as anywhere else.
Unexpected injuries can arise in almost any accident and with any job. The most common, though, involve:
- Job-related vehicle accidents
- Workplace violence (assault, battery, use of force, sexual assault, etc.)
- Dangerous objects (tools, falling objects, etc.)
- Slips, trips, and falls
- Fires and explosions
- Electrocution
- Dangerous commercial property conditions
- Repetitive motion injuries (carpal tunnel syndrome, etc.)
