We are happy to announce our eighth grant recipient Ms. Jackie Jackson. Jackie is the last grant recipient to be approved from our first grant cycle that ran from August 15 of 2011 until December 31st. Like many, Jackie's struggled to gain access to weight loss surgery with no success. Like many her insurance exempted any medical treatment for obesity. Jackie's bariatric surgeon Dr.John Oldham referred Jackie to our grant program and told us how Jackie regularly attends their monthly support meeting and had never given up hope of getting surgery. We are so pleased to welcome Dr. Oldham and Bluegrass Bariatric Surgical Associates the into the WLSFA network of care.
In Jackie's own words…
My name is Jackie Jackson. I'm 36 years old. I live in Louisville Kentucky. I am a hardworking mother of two children one of which has special needs.I am currently employed at Josephs Salon and Spa were my profession is manicures and pedicures and I love my job! I am currently pursuing a vertical sleeve surgery with Dr. Oldham at Baptist East Hospital. It has been four years and counting that I have been fighting to get this surgery done. Unfortunately I have an exclusion in my insurance plan. I went through several appeals to try and get my weight loss surgery approved with no success. I felt like there was no place left to turn. I had exhausted all of my options. I was out of ideas and trying not to give up hope. I was surfing a website called obesityhelp.com and came across the WLSFA and the story of the twin sisters who had gone through many of the things I was going though trying to get weight loss surgery. I learned that Connie received a grant from the foundation. I thought what are the chances of me trying this? So I applied for a grant after my Dr. Referred me to the grant program. Little did I know I would be approved for a grant! With the help of the WLSFA, Dr. John Oldham and Karen Sparks the bariatric coordinator at Baptist East Hospital. I will achieve my goals. It's all about the support and how determined I am through my journey. With the help of the WLSFA, I never would have dreamed in a million years I would be were I am at today. I look forward to the time when I can reap the benefits from this surgery. I want to thank everyone who has supported me from the beginning and continues to support me throughout this process. I'm thankful to have helped alot of people now and will continue to help others through my new journey soon to come. I know this surgery will save my life. It doesnt stop here! Sincerely Jackie Jackson

Indianapolis Colts' offense regains its health in time for Titans rematch
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – It's been nine games of mixing and matching, plugging in this guy here and that guy there.
The Indianapolis Colts offense, which came into the season with so much anticipation, has searched for its identity because it too often lacked healthy bodies.
Until now.
When the Colts deal with their latest must-win game – Sunday against the Tennessee Titans at Lucas Oil Stadium – they'll do so with their offensive personnel intact and eager. Their starters and top backups should be available for the first time since the season opener.
"Right now we've got a lot of guys coming back that are healthy,'' rookie center Ryan Kelly said Wednesday. "That's good news for us.
"Every other week we were just playing with somebody new at a different spot.''
Six offensive front-liners have missed at least one game and five have missed at least two. A fractured scapula sidelined wideout Donte Moncrief for five weeks. Three of the opening-day starters along the offensive line – left guard Jack Mewhort (triceps), right guard Denzelle Good (back) and right tackle Joe Reitz (back and concussion) – have missed time and forced quarterback Andrew Luck to play behind six different starting combinations.
When the Colts whipped the Titans 34-26 last month in Nashville, Luck passed for 353 yards and three touchdowns, T.Y. Hilton caught seven passes for 133 yards and one touchdown and Jack Doyle contributed nine catches for 78 yards, both career highs, and the go-ahead 7-yard touchdown with 1:55 remaining.
It was a crisp, efficient offensive performance, but one missing Moncrief, Phillip Dorsett, Dwayne Allen and Mewhort.
"I hadn't thought of that,'' Luck admitted. "The mindset that we have as players, coaches in this building is – healthy, whatever – we're playing ball and we know we can go out there and, if we do our best, we'll have a chance to win.
"It's great to have everybody healthy. You've still got to go out there and make plays against a really good Titans defense.''
Having the offense intact, offered Dorsett "is going to be kind of fun. It's something we really haven't had the whole season. We're ready to go out there and let it fly.''
Coordinator Rob Chudzinski has done a creditable job of patching the necessary holes. His offense ranks No. 13 in yards per game (359.9), No. 12 in passing (261.9) and No. 7 in scoring (26.5).
However, the constant changes along the offensive line have contributed to Luck being sacked a league-high 33 times. He's also been hit on another 68 occasions, according NFL.com.
The offense flashed its potential in the 31-26 win at Green Bay, then headed into its bye week which allowed several players to recover from nagging injuries.
Sunday offers an opportunity to build on the success achieved at the expense of the Packers.
"Green Bay was a great showing and definitely a confidence booster for us in the way we went on the road and were able to execute,'' Allen said. "Now we get the opportunity at home to do the same thing.
"It's been unfortunate that it's taken until week 11 for us all to be healthy and on the field, but that's the way it is some years. We have the opportunity to be healthy. But it does no good for us all to be healthy if we don't go out there and do our things.''
Luck honored:
Luck has been chosen the Colts' recipient of the 2016 Ed Block Courage Award in a vote of his teammates. The award annually recognizes one player from each team for courageous play, and those individuals are honored at a banquet in Baltimore each March.
"It's a very special thing,'' Luck said. "When you play a team sport, the respect of your teammates, of your peers, has always been a special part of being on a team. So anytime they recognize for something, I feel like it's an honor.''
'We'd like to be that team:'
While Luck and his teammates are regrouping at halftime Sunday, the Colts will recognize more than 40 individuals from their Super Bowl XLI team.
"I was in high school. I remember watching the game,'' Luck said. "I think it's great. This building has an incredible story.
"It's great for the fans. It's great for those guys.''
Perhaps the 10-year anniversary of the world championship will serve as motivation.
"We'd like to be that team 10 years from now, 15 or whatever it is,'' Luck said.
The '06 gang's back:
Although the appearance of a few players remains uncertain, the team expects the following to be on hand: Joseph Addai, Josh Betts, Rocky Boiman, Gary Brackett, Kory Chapman, Dallas Clark, Ryan Diem, Mike Doss, Bryan Fletcher, Dylan Gandy, Matt Giordano, Tarik Glenn, Tyjuan Hagler, Kelvin Hayden, Marlin Jackson, Tim Jennings, Charlie Johnson, Cato June, Freddy Keiaho, Dan Klecko, Ryan LaCasse, Ryan Lilja, Peyton Manning, Rob Morris, Keith O'Neil, Dexter Reid, Darrell Reid, Dominic Rhodes, Jeff Saturday, Bo Schobel, Hunter Smith, Justin Snow, Jim Sorgi, John Standeford, Brandon Stokley, Josh Thomas, Matt Ulrich, Ben Utecht, Reggie Wayne and Terrence Wilkins.
Coaches expected to be on hand include Richard Howell, Gene Huey, Ron Meeks, Pete Metzelaars, Howard Mudd, Mike Murphy, Russ Purnell, John Teerlinck and Jon Torine.
Long time president Bill Polian also will be at the game.
The team is hopeful Marvin Harrison will participate. He and former coach Tony Dungy will receive their Pro Football Hall of Fame rings at the Nov. 24 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Dungy's duties as NBC analyst will keep him from participating in Sunday's ceremony.

Ah, 80's glam electronica, you always know how to put a smile on my face and Gnarnia VIPs and dark pop geniuses, Love Cop, oblige with a cassette of lofi dreamgaze with a heavy tote of perverted pop. With clear nods to the best moments of Television Personalities, The Clean, and Factory Records bands like Joy Division and New Order, Eat Yr Heart Out is bursting at the seams with fuzzy guitars, jangly guitars, crunchy guitars, dance beats, rock beats, witchy vibes, stoner vibes, and maybe the kitchen sink (why not?).
Signed copies were available at their performance at Gnar Tapes SXSW Showcase on March 15th, 2013 but never fear, you can still get your not-as-special unsigned copies through the friendly folks at Gnar Tapes. So pop on the album through bandcamp (or better yet, the cassette itself), open up the windows, and ignore your responsibilities. Love Cop's got the soundtrack to your dysfunctional narcissism.

"I'm going with hope and apprehension !"
That phrase was said to me by one of our bishops who are on the way to the Lambeth Conference. It is a summary of the very real feeling of all bishops who will attend the first Conference of the 21st century, whose agenda will be marked by the pursuit of a better equipment for the mission. Every effort was made by the Design Group toward better facilitate the coexistence, the study and sharing of experiences among participants, thereby avoiding the character of plenary discussions and votes on divisive theological disputes.
Of course, present issues such as sexuality, environment, women in the episcopate, bioethics, among others will not be left aside. Facing this agenda is part of the challenge that the Church has to interact within the global society. What we hope in this Conference is a change of method and the spirit in which the reflection and the dialogue will be developed .
Certainly, Canterbury is not a place to find victory or defeat. There is not a place for express power and influence. There will not be a place to see who else occupies the spotlight.
We all, in every Province and every diocese around the world, are praying for our bishops. And wishing some very important attitudes from them: firstly, they must listen to the voice of the Spirit. Secondly, they must listen to the world and their pastoral needs. And thirdly they must listen to their own hearts in the presence of God. None of them is demanded to anticipate what each of them interprets about God's will. Canterbury must be a place for hear God's voice!
Usually, bishops tend to be very fast speakers. The charge demands. Statements, guidelines, opinions about everything are demanded from who have the role of supervision. This is part of episcopal ministry. That pressure, however can lead to a difficulty to hear. And therein lies greatest risk to the Church and for society. The risk to be talking about what is not being asked.
This conference is an opportunity to listen much more than to talk. Our prayers for all bishops who will be seeking the strengthening of their offices. Our hope is that the Anglican Communion do not need to become a map where you can see who is more or less orthodox. Our wish is that the Anglican Communion continues to be a beautiful mosaic of colors, sounds, smells and great humility to listen what God is trying to say us about his unconditional love for the humankind!

Snapchat added just five million daily active users in the final three months of last year, down from at least 10 million added in each of the previous four quarters. Facebook's fierce competition with Snapchat has also heated up in the months since Snap's IPO. Facebook has since launched Snapchat-like camera features in Messenger, WhatsApp, Instagram and its flagship app.

now I thought i posted this last night (UK time) but cant find the post - it should have been moved to another forum if it wsnt applicble here but to just remove it without letting me know - but perhaps i didnt press send either way i apologise.
the problem is that every so often our server (powering the apps) goes down for few minutes. and i am not sure how to debug this? I have looked at all the logs at /var/log/nginx but cant see anything to say why it went out -
the most i see is a connection timed out in some of the logs..
my server is also behind a load balancer.. not sure if that makes a difference?
finally i am running nginx but there is no forum for that or a general server forum..

Pandemic Legion won this weekend, a feat that should come as no great shock to anyone following the tournament teams. While their victory was far from assured, few teams are on PL's level when it comes to tournament prep, which includes: theory-crafting, practice matches, meta-game intelligence gathering and good piloting.
This makes PL's third win in a row, matching BoB's record from the days when TWD was around. What I found surprising was how many people seemed unaware of the history of the tournament. To me, the Star Fraction v. BoB match was one of the most exciting matches of all time, but newer players might be totally oblivious. For many U.S. players, the last 3-peat they saw was in the Shaq & Kobe era (or possibly the USC title which was recently stripped).
The final match shaped up to be a really great throw-down. If anyone could beat PL, I believed fully that 2 of the 4 semi-finalists could do it (Darkside and Hydra). Both of these alliances are used to small-scale fighting where, unlike most combat between large 0.0 entities, your individual piloting choices have a huge impact on the outcome.
Hydra is made of of pilots whose individual feats are on-par with anyone in PL, especially considering Gobby (one of the game's most innovative fleet commanders) is now with them. What PL brings to the tournament (and Eve warfare in general) is a level of seriousness about victory. Hydra will self-destruct ships, bring the same setup repeatedly and rely more on educated guesses to determine what they will face.
PL does not take such a casual approach. From what I have seen, PL practice as much or more than any other team. Moreover, while others will setup random people from the alliance to play with them on the test server, PL can draw from a deeper pool of competent tournament-level pilots who will simulate real match conditions.
Finally, while it is not always a factor, it's also worth mentioning that PL's intelligence gathering/meta-gaming is second to none. Last year, PL forum posts indicate that they knew exactly what their opponents were undocking (before transport to Polaris) for each and every match. That level of preparation ensures you not only bring a good setup, but it also prevents fittings mistakes (such as improper racial ECM or fitting TDs against a missile-spam team).
I think that PL deserved this win and the reality is that everything they did (practicing with various setups, bringing quality pilots and monitoring the opposition) can be replicated by anyone motivated to compete on their level. Hydra came close this time, bringing a setup that could have been dangerous for PL, and I would be lying if I said they did not also approach the tournament seriously. All I am suggesting is that, for the moment, Pandemic Legion appears to be on a totally different level than everyone else in-game.
Then again, wasn't that what everyone thought about BoB's team in 2007?

Chloe Neill introduces readers to a very different New Orleans than we're used to seeing in this first installment of her new Urban Fantasy series, Devil's Isle. It's been seven years since paranormal beings tore through the veil into this world, kicking off a bloody war with humanity. The veil is closed and the war is over, but the aftermath lingers on. The earth is scorched. Resources are scarce. And magic has bled over into some unsuspecting humans, turning them into Sensitives. They are hunted and interned on a nearby island unless they hide their magic. And hiding has become Claire's specialty.
Claire is a Sensitive who runs her late father's mercantile store. She keeps her life small intentionally, with even her good friends Tadji and Gunnar unaware of what she can do. Everything is going ok until she chooses to use her telekinesis to save a woman under attack by wraiths… sensitives who have lost control of their magic. She quickly meets Liam, a wraith bounty hunter, who recognizes what she is –and offers to help her learn to control her magic before it can control her. From there, things get only more complicated, as Claire learns new truths about the so-called enemy; deals with a maybe-romance with Liam; and squares off with the group making new wraiths in the commission of an even more devastating plan.
I liked the world-building here. Born and raised in the New Orleans area, I always appreciate being able to picture the area in context of a book. (Even if I did blink twice at Liam saying he went to Xavier, an HBCU.) Neill did a good job setting the stage for the current condition of the city and if there is anywhere on earth that people would stick it out and stay in their communities despite the wreckage, it would definitely be NOLA.
The characters were ok. I felt like I knew and understood Claire pretty well, but I didn't feel super-connected to her. Liam… even a little less so. Maybe that will change as more of their history and whatnot is revealed in future books. But here, they were just alright. And their almost-romance was pretty lackluster. The secondary characters were almost totally flat, which is a shame because there was potential there; it was just never realized.
The book ends with some unanswered questions: specifically about how the wraiths were becoming more sentient. And while there is no cliffhanger, Neill sets up an easy path to follow for future stories.
While I didn't love this book, I did like it ok. I think I will give book two a try. I hope it will grab me more than this one.

Atlantic Roofers
Over the course of more than four decades, Atlantic Roofers has been serving general contractors and property owners with a range of value-oriented roofing services. Arthur Allain established the company in 1972 after working for another roofer in Toronto. In 2013, he sold the business to colleagues, marking a change in management. While the leadership team is different, many things have stayed the same. Atlantic Roofers still focuses on quality, innovative roofing solutions for customers throughout the Canadian Maritimes.
Yves Bradet currently serves as the company's CEO and general manager. He oversees the operation of six roofing locations, including the headquarters in Cocagne, New Brunswick, as well as branches in Fredericton and Saint John, New Brunswick, Elmsdale, Nova Scotia, Winslow, Prince Edward Island, and Mount Pearl, Newfoundland. Five of the six operate under the Atlantic Roofers name, with the location in Newfoundland operating as North Shore Roofing, to distinguish the business from another regional company with a similar name.
"One thing that sets us apart is that we have six locations – more than anyone else in Atlantic Canada," explains Bradet. "In our peak season, we employ as many as 130 people, with little more than half that staff in the offseason. We have a wealth of experienced people here who have worked with all kinds of roofing systems in a variety of conditions. We also have strong knowledge of the local market."
Diverse services
Atlantic Roofers provides appropriate service at any phase of a roof's life span. The team performs new construction installation, full replacements, repair work and maintenance for a variety of customers. The companies target market includes industrial, commercial and institutional applications. Atlantic Roofers works for general contractors, private companies, government municipalities, hospitals, and energy customers throughout Atlantic Canada.
"Our work does not vary significantly day-to-day," Bradet notes. "There are always new challenges, but the projects themselves have become run-of-the-mill for us." With an experienced team, these projects run efficiently. Despite the similarities between projects, Atlantic Roofers can work in just about any medium from PVC membranes to metal cladding.
"A recent large project was a new system we installed last year on a civic center in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia," says Bradet. "We installed a PVC roof membrane that is mechanically fastened and the membrane is adhered to the top plate with induction equipment. Basically you heat the metal plate with induction equipment and it softens the membrane so it sticks. This method has become popular because of the ease and quickness of installation and the durability of the finished product."
The team also recently completed a full metal recover in New Brunswick, using a polyurethane adhesive to adhere the cladding to the membrane. Atlantic Roofers recently launched its new Atlantic Metal Clad division for metal siding and metal roofing. Established in 2014, the division will help Atlantic Roofers bring new services to industrial, commercial and institutional clients. Bradet says the first year of operation has been a success.
Maintaining a steady market share
Though Atlantic Roofers continues to grow, Bradet says the company faces challenges like any other business. "We were affected by the economic downturn and then we had a really tough winter last year," he says. "Business was slow due to the weather at the start of 2014. Harsh winter weather is always a concern and my biggest worry is keeping everyone working."
Fortunately, the company's reputation, flexibility and broad capabilities saw Atlantic Roofers through the recession. Outside of the boom years, Bradet notes that roofing is fairly recession-proof. "A roof problem is something you have to take care of," he explains. "Although when the economy is down, the market still changes. Instead of doing a full replacement, customers want repair work and they replace later." By owning this flexibility and catering to the needs of customers when money was tight, Atlantic Roofers has drawn repeat business that has allowed the company to continue to grow throughout the recovery."
The company also maintains good relationships with suppliers and subcontractors. "Those relationships are very important to our success," says Bradet. "We don't need subs on every project, but when we do, we work with plumbers, electricians, masons and mechanical contractors. People tend to think of roofing as very simple, but in our market, other components come into play quite often."
With lasting relationships with both partners and customers, Atlantic roofers is maintaining a trajectory of steady growth and will continue to provide quality, service-driven roofing services throughout the Canadian Maritimes.

However, a change in attitude is yet to be achieved as the focus of the use of phyto-based products should emphasize, as does TCM, on a holistic approach, thus focusing on the analysis of the entire body functions, performance and health rather than on focusing on disease treatment.
When one tries to read and analyze the multitude of scientific reports written about the topic, the major challenge is to understand which of the phytogenics' properties - flavoring, antioxidant, antifungal, antiviral, antibacterial, antidepressant, immune modulating and physiological, amongst others, is responsible for their performance-enhancing effect in animals. Moreover, the fact that most of these reports are written with basis on data generated by the use of specific commercially available blends of ingredients rather than on single active substances makes it difficult to ascertain which exact component is responsible for which effect.
Comparisons and conclusions are only possible if trials are performed with the same blend of ingredients, thus, this document summarizes information gathered by different trials performed in poultry which show the effects of BIOMIN's specific product line of phytogenics – Digestarom® PEP - at different levels.
Gut microflora modulation – Antimicrobial action
The well-known antimicrobial mode of action of botanicals is considered to arise mainly from the potential of the hydrophobic essential oils to intrude into the bacterial cell membrane, to disintegrate membrane structures and cause ion leakage (2). Modulation of microbial activity is of great relevance. It reduces pathogenic microbial pressure in the gastro-intestinal tract thus limiting the competition between the animal and the microbes for nutrients. In turn, production of digestion by-products, such as ammonia, is reduced. Besides its great negative impact on the environment, ammonia is considered the most harmful gas in broiler chicken housing as it irritates respiratory airways and predisposes chickens to respiratory infections, causes keratoconjunctivitis and reduces bacterial clearance from lungs (3). Likewise, endogenous biogenic amines, known to decarboxylate limiting essential amino acids thus rendering them unavailable for growth and performance, are not desirable digestion by-products. Similarly to the results obtained in piglets (4) the use of Digestarom® PEP in poultry reduced total VFA, amines and ammonia were reduced in relation to an antibiotic growth promoter (AGP)-supplemented group (Figure 1). Such results were accompanied by a statistically significant (P<0.05) reduction of the FCR in comparison with both the negative control (-11 points) and the AGP group (-9 points) (data not shown).
Figure 1: Results of a scientific trial conducted at the National Chiayi University in Taiwan. 80 birds/treatment (20 birds/replicate; 4 replications/treatment). 3 treatment groups as follows: Negative Control; Positive Control (OTC 50 ppm and CTC 50 ppm); Digestarom® PEP (125 g/t).
Other tests further confirm the anti-microbial effect of the product against specific bacterial oral challenges. Besides greatly reducing the mortality of birds, intestinal clostridia levels and intestinal lesion scores were significantly lowered by the supplementation of the phytogenic product in Clostridium perfringens challenged broilers (Table 1).
Table 1: Results of 3 trials conducted at USDA, Food and Feed Safety Research Unit, USA. 50 birds/treatment in a total of three treatments, as follows: Negative control; Positive Control (C. perfringens at 1.5 ml of 107 CFU/mL); Trial Group (C. perfringens at 1.5 ml of 107 CFU/mL + Digestarom® PEP (125 g/t)).
Specific impact of phytogenics in gut functions - Stimulation of endogenous enzyme activity
There is evidence that phytogenic feed additives may favorably affect gut functions (optimize passage rate of ingesta, activity of digestive enzymes and nutrient absorption) (2). Preliminary results generated from a research project with an acknowledgeable European research institute show that BIOMIN's phytogenic product line improved maltase, sucrase and amino peptidase activity by 27 %, 26 % and 27 %, respectively, in comparison with the non-supplemented group (scientific report to be soon released). These enzymes have important roles both in carbohydrate and protein digestion.
Growth promoting efficacy - Enhanced digestibility
Following the ban of antimicrobials as growth promoters in animal diets Kroismayr et al. tested Digestarom® PEP in piglet diets as a potential antibiotic growth promoters (AGP) replacement (4). His findings on improvement in apparent digestibility of organic matter and crude protein were later on confirmed in poultry diets (Figure 2-3). Phytogenics performed better than the mixture of the two synthetic antimicrobials improving final body weight and FCR of birds (data not shown).
Figure 2-3: Results of a trial conducted at UNIOESTE University in Brazil. 384 birds/treatment (24 broilers/replicate; 16 replicates/treatment). 3 treatment groups as follows: AGP (Enramycin 10 ppm + Salinomycin 125 ppm); Digestarom® PEP (125 g/t); Negative Control.
Effects on gut morphology
Changes in gut morphology may be especially important when animals are challenged with very costly diseases such as coccidiosis and/or necrotic enteritis. Typically, infected enterocytes turn over more quickly and therefore are not able to fully differentiate, a fact that severely impairs digestive enzyme secretion thus reducing digestibility of nutrients and rendering animals more susceptible to osmotic and secretory diarrhea (5). BIOMIN's phytogenic product line increased villus length:crypt depth ratio in broilers challenged with Paracox-5® vaccine (Figure 4). Concomitantly, the number of goblet cells was significantly increased (P<0.05) (data not shown). These factors are proof of the increased absorptive surface and of the improved protection of the gut provided by Digestarom® PEP both reflected on the higher final body weight and on the improved FCR of supplemented animals (6).
Figure 4: Results of a trial conducted at BIOMIN's R&D station in Austria. 165 birds/treatment (32 broilers/replicate; 8 replicates/treatment). Birds orally challenged with Paracox-5® vaccine. 2 treatment groups, as follows: Challenged group; Challenge + Digestarom® PEP supplementation.
Anti-inflammatory effects
There is a lack of knowledge on the exact mechanism of AGP. Most arguments point toward an anti-inflammatory role of AGP, which reduces energy waste and spares energy for production (7). Based on this, effective alternatives for AGP should share similar properties. The impact of Digestarom® Product Line components on intestinal epithelial cells was investigated by challenging them in vitro with TNFα (Tumor necrosis factor α), a cytokine involved in systemic inflammation. Results showed a down regulation of intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1), interleukin-8 (IL-8), and monocyte chemo-attractant protein-1 (MCP-1), all circulating inflammatory mediators (Figure 5). Conversely, Digestarom® up-regulated anti-inflammatory Cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1), Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1), uridine diphosphate glucuronosyltransferase (UGT1A1), all target genes in intestinal cells involved in cell protection (Figure 6).
Figure 5: Results of in vitro scientific studies at Giessen University, Germany. Caco-2 intestinal epithelial cells were challenged with TNFα and the expression of the different pro-inflammatory mediators was studied.
Figure 6: Results of in vitro scientific studies at Giessen University, Germany. The Nrf2-Keap system, one of the major cellular defence mechanisms against oxidative and xenobiotic stresses, was studied.
Further considerations to the use of phytogenics
Further considerations for the use of phytogenics include nutrient sparing effects, increase of total antioxidant capacity of meat and increase juiciness of meat as per sensory quality panel evaluation (data available but not shown). The first is an interesting possibility either for feed mills wanting to manage their costs by down-specifying their diets or for producers who would like to increase the animal's final weight while maintaining the formulation. The latter ones will reflect on a longer shelf life of meat originating from supplemented birds and on better acceptance of the final product by customers.
Giving a definite answer on the exact mode of action of phytogenics in animals is probably as difficult as replying to the famous, still unanswered question, "which came first, the chicken or the egg?". Nonetheless, one cannot dismiss the variety of data available showing very positive impacts of carefully selected and blended phytogenic components on animal performance and health. As basic needs of the world population are met, consumers will become more focused on the quality of products they ingest. Products providing similar results to antibiotic growth promoters in terms of performance - without their acknowledged negative impacts on bacterial resistance – will be imperative for a sustainable production.
Digestarom® Product Line has proven to achieve and even to exceed AGP results with regard to animal performance. Complementary to that, the combination of plant-derived substances brings extra beneficial parameters which certainly cannot be obtained with the use of synthetic substances. Finally, if you dare to think holistically, make sure you choose a product which is fully backed up with sound technical information and which obeys to proper quality control standards.
To maximize space available, only selected data were presented in this article. Full data regarding individual trials mentioned through the article are available upon request.

Wastage of hard earned money
What's good in spending thousands of bucks on fireworks that burst and make noise and boost pollution level and also burn a hole in your pocket. Seeing the current scenario of the environment and how badly it is already ruined, causing more harm to it just seems impractical. While bursting fancy crackers has become a status symbol, it is time to put an end to this idiocy as responsible citizens.

Local derbies rarely go according to the form book and so it proved on Saturday at Dennis Harvey Park where Larne Tech Old Boys, on the back of two successive defeats, grabbed all three points against a Barn United side, unbeaten in their last seven league outings.
As Tech boss Johnny Hastings remarked: "It just shows how competitive a league 1A is.
"Barn are on a good run, although the two defeats we had at UUJ and Crumlin United were really close, they could have went either way.
"There was nothing between the sides. We had more of the ball and played some good stuff, but didn't work their 'keeper and the only two saves in the match came from our own Keith Wilson.
"Probably a true reflection of the game was that the only goal was a scrappy own goal. But it's nice to get the three points. All good!"
Opposite number, Jim Pherson, agreed: "There was absolutely nothing in it. I thought we shaded it in the first-half.
"The Tech had a lot of possession but we restricted them to a couple long-range efforts that weren't even on target, whereas their keeper made two excellent saves in one-on-ones against Mark Tweedie. Generally, both defences were on top.
"It wasn't the full-blooded contest of old – maybe because the pitch was in great nick and both sides tried to play a bit of football – but it wasn't a great match."
The all-important goal came on 65 minutes, with the only real chance the Tech had. Defender Andy Hall, slashed a dangerous Lee Thompson right-wing cross into his own net.
Five minutes later, the Tech were reduced to 10 men when Aaron Mulvenna saw a second yellow turn to red; the Larne boys claiming a case of mistaken identity in that the real offender for the harmless enough looking tug was fellow midfielder Gary Montgomery.
However, as Barn boss Pherson lamented: "It meant the Tech were content to keep it tight and just hit us on the break and we didn't have the imagination to break them down. We didn't do enough and just ran out of ideas."
Matthew Devine and Reece Moore were certainly impressive at the heart of that defence, while Lee Thompson was always an outlet up front.
On Saturday, the Tech travel to Orangefield, while Barn are back in Larne, at the Cliff to meet St Patrick's YM.

Vin Diesel recently shared a new photo of himself and Paul Walker on his Facebook page.
In the still, Diesel is seen wearing a white T-shirt while Walker is sporting a blue shirt. Both Diesel and Walker seem to be in a pensive mood, and it is clear that the shared picture is photoshopped.
The picture has got as many as 1,677,517 likes, and is shared by 22,627 people so far.
Diesel has been regularly updating his Facebook page and is sharing stills from the upcoming movie Furious 7.
The actor will reprise his role as Dominic Toretto in the upcoming film.
Paul Walker, who played Brian O'Conner passed away in a tragic car accident on 30 November, 2013.
Diesel, in one of his interviews said that it was not easy to shoot for Fast & Furious 7 without Walker.
He told Access Hollywood, "It was, needless to say, the hardest movie I've ever done. I remember when the tragedy happened, my mother said to me, it's not fair that you have to mourn in front of the world,"
Plot details
According to plot spoilers, Toretto and his gang members will go in search of Han's killer. Han was killed in Fast & Furious 6.
According to reports, the seventh sequel is aimed at bringing a full circle to the series, and is also the last film involving the late Paul Walker.
The seventh edition will pick up from the death of Owen Shaw (Luke Evans) at the end of Fast & Furious 6.
His brother Ian (Jason Statham) will go on a killing spree to avenge his brother's demise, resulting in the death of Han (Sung Kang) in Tokyo Drift.
The death might occur in the middle of Tokyo's own version of race wars, bringing the series back to its roots for a few minutes.
Inquisitr reports: "Things are going to get a lot more dangerous, and Vin Diesel's Dominic Torretto decides along the way that the safest place Brian O'Conner can be is home with his sister Mia (Jordana Brewster) and their child. Family means enough to Dom that he's willing to leave his friend out of the action by the end of the Fast & Furious 7 plot in order to protect them."

Our dance club
UEL's Dance Club has been running for four years. It's a popular club with a fantastic atmosphere and is always encouraging those wanting to dance. The club competed for the first time in 2016 at the National University Dance competition and placing first. The Wednesday weekly sessions are run by Kloe Dean who is a passionate and unique hip hop dancer, choreographer and freestyler from London and is part of one of the UK's leading street dance companies, Boy Blue Entertainment.
The Dance Club encourages members to socialise and if you wish to practice routines and moves learnt in the weekly class, members can book the studios in SportsDock and at USS with other members. The club encourages members to attend performances or be part of other performances outside of the UEL club, to build confidence.Training takes place every Wednesday from 2pm – 5pm in the Studio at SportsDock, which is located on the Docklands Campus.
Facilities and Training
The Dance Club train every Wednesday afternoon at 2pm in a studio in UEL SportsDock, located on Docklands campus. The studio at UEL SportsDock is fully air conditioned with spring wooden flooring and a fantastic sound system to help keep a comfortable atmosphere that is perfect for learning different styles of dance.
There are great benefits to partaking in dance classes, ranging from increasing your amount of daily exercise to making new friends with shared interests. Dance also offers an activity for people who may not consider themselves as 'sporty'.
The benefit of dance provides members to participate in an art form, which is routed in technique, giving the opportunity for a creative outlet. The confidence gained through achievements in dance helps to build social skills, increase self-esteem and the ability to communicate well in a group. These skills once built up through participating in dance can lead to a variety of career routes.

Colossians 3:12-17 Revised Standard Version (RSV)
12 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, lowliness, meekness, and patience, 13 forbearing one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. 14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in the one body. And be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teach and admonish one another in all wisdom, and sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

Gold drops more than 1 per cent as dollar rally continues
[LONDON] Gold fell more than 1 per cent on Tuesday as the dollar extended gains following stronger US inflation data and comments from Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen that reinforced the central bank's tightening bias on monetary policy.
Spot gold dropped to a two-week low of US$1,192.60 an ounce earlier and was down 1 per cent at US$1,193.73 by 1003 GMT.
US gold futures for June delivery were down US$10.40 at US$1,193.60 an ounce.
The dollar continued its strong run, up 1 per cent against a basket of leading currencies, after Fed Yellen said on Friday that interest rates will be raised this year as the US economy was set to bounce back from an early-year slump. "The dollar is back in vogue, it's turned after last week's strong CPI data, Yellen comments, and there should be more strong data this week," Societe Generale analyst Robin Bhar said. "For the dollar to weaken again, you're going to need some pretty dire US data and the risk is that data is going to get stronger because we are out of the winter season." A stronger dollar makes gold more expensive for holders of other currencies, while higher US interest rates would dent demand for the non-interest-paying metal, increasing the opportunity cost of holding it.
Gold's inverse correlation with the dollar has started to strengthen again, and weaken against yields, Barclays said in a note. "We maintain the view that the third quarter is likely to be the weakest quarter for gold, given that we expect the Fed to start increasing rates in September, but the potential downside is likely to be limited," it said.
Bullion traders will be keenly eyeing US economic data due later in the day, including durable goods for May and consumer confidence for April, for clues on the strength of the economy and how it would impact the Fed's monetary policy.
The focus was also on Greece, which said on Monday it needed aid urgently to be able to pay a loan instalment due next week.
Any worsening of the Greek debt crisis could potentially trigger demand for gold coins and bars. The metal is usually seen as a hedge against political and financial risk, although the impact on demand for metals from wider political worries is usually short lived.
Silver fell 2.1 per cent to a two-week low of US$16.70 an ounce. Platinum dropped 1.7 per cent to US$1,128.50 an ounce and palladium slipped 0.6 per cent to US$781 an ounce.

Ask, answer and talk about our products
I have a 2011 65 inch Panasonic smart TV through which I have been accessing the internet wirelessly via a Netgear Wireless Adapter WNCE2001. I had been doing this without issue for some years but recently changed my internet plan to an TPG NBN plan. AS part of this change I received a new Huawei HG658 gateway modem and now my TV can no longer find my internet connection or communicate with the new modem, despite using the Netgear adapter.
Can you advise if there is some other Adapter I require to enable me to communicate with the NBN network or any other advice you can give me to enable me to connect with the NBN? I've tried everything I can think of and your help would be most appreciated urgently.
Thank you
Hi @brooksys,
Welcome to TPG Community!
Have you tried the troubleshooting on this link?
We don't want you to buy a new wireless adapter right away since it was working fine before. You can also try to activate the hotspot of your mobile phone, then try to connect your TV to make sure that the adapter is still working. If it is able to connect to it, then try the troubleshooting on the link that I provided. If not, that maybe the time to upgrade your wireless adapter.
Please keep us posted on what will happen.
Hi @brooksys,
Thank you for the update. We did confirm that it's your wireless adapter that needs to be changed.
All wireless adapters should work as long as it can detect the Wi-Fi connection that your modem is broadcasting. You can look into the reviews of the brand and model that you are looking to purchase. Customers' experience on the product should help you decide on what to buy.
Should you need any assistance, please let us know.
indeed you need to change the adapter, it's so obvious. Still i am happy you got the solution.

Yesterday, while skimming through the Huffington Post, I caught this piece about Reverend Samuel Rodriguez. Yes, he's the crazy pastor I blogged about nearly two years ago who referred to us like this, "We Hispanics are emotional people. We are telenovela, Ricky Martin, J Lo, salsa and habañero chiles." Uh, stereotype much?
Well, now Rev. Rodriguez is back in the news, this time he's working with right wing Christian groups to infiltrate the Democratic Party, and he's also being called the "Hispanic Karl Rove." I find Rev. Rodriguez's fire and brimestone rhetoric to be offensive at best, but I also see his workings into the Democratic Party being symptomatic of the GOP's continued shunning of the Latino community. He sounds like a television evangelist ready to fall on the floor and start speaking tongues. Listen to how he manage to offend gays, Muslims, Oprah Winfrey watching Christians in this clip:
Now I am not completely against coalition building with progressives and Christians, but this screaming and stomping about gays and Muslims is not a good way to go about achieving that end. This kind of rhetoric is yet another reason why I firmly believe in the separation of church and state. I don't think our community needs a "Hispanic Karl Rove" in the likeness of Rev. Samuel Rodriguez. I still think that education and more civic engagement, while learning multiple sides of issues, will serve our community better in the long run. What do you think?

This is the second book in the Gideon Crew series (following Gideon's Sword) and I liked it as much as the first one.
Gideon's Corpse picks up almost where the previous book left off. Eli Glinn convinces Gideon to help the FBI when a former colleague of his from Los Alamos, Reed Chalker, has gone insane and is holding a family hostage for a ransom. Gideon tries to talk him down but is unsuccessful in ending the situation without someone getting killed. In the aftermath of the investigation, as the CSI crew are processing the crime scene, it is discovered that Chalker had been irradiated with a high dose of uranium. It looks like he was attempting to put together a nuclear bomb. Suddenly it is alphabet soup as member of the FBI, CIA, NEST, ATF, DOE, NYPD and others try to stop an attack against the United States. Gideon is right in the middle of things, helping his FBI partner Stone Fordyce, until he suddenly becomes a prime suspect in the plot he was investigating! Now he really has to find the mastermind behind this scheme.
This new novel has everything the first in the series did, and more. Fast paced, with lots of action, shoot outs, love affairs and bombs! It kept me reading late into the night as I navigated all the twists and turns in the story.
On the down side, if you are expecting a Pendergast type hero or story, this will be disappointing. The Gideon Crew series is more like Clive Cussler and Ted Bell than Preston & Child's series with Pendergast. That said this is an excellent series so far and it's another entertaining instalment!

The housing market may have hit "rock bottom," Charles Schwab's Liz Ann Sonders says in a new report on the industry this week.
Sonders, chief investment strategist at the firm, sees two big themes for the coming year: 1) a reversion to local market movements versus national market movements and 2) the preference to rent versus buy.
In her report, she sees further downside risk to prices. But she remains optimistic. Most metrics used to guage the markets are pointing to an upturn, she says.

Tanya and Kurt decided to elope instead of waiting until they could get married in Prague
"I would just like to thank Roma Sposa for everything! They were absolutely incredible to deal with. So friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. I didn't feel any pressure when I was trying on dresses and they helped me find the most perfect one. Dress shopping is both fun and overwhelming and they made it such a pleasurable experience. I would highly recommend them to any bride who is searching for a fabulous dress and looking for a great experience!"

What you need
Bottles, Jars, Containers
Printed Labels
Mod Podge
Embellishments: Jewelry, Ribbons, Buttons, Twine, Beads
Halloween is just around the corner and if you're planning a party… I've got some recycling ideas to make your serving table funny and spooky! By using bottles, jars and cans, with glued on labels and other embellishments, you can make Halloween table decor much more fun!
Check this out:
bottles, cans, jars, actually any kind of containers… even wooden fruit crates! Then decoupage over the labels.
These recycled bottles can used for punch, juice, cider, water or whatever your choice beverage is.
Here are my other funny spooky containers.
A can wrapped with the "Scarecrow Stuffings" label and twine glued on is awesome for pretzel rods, lolly pops, twizzlers, etc.A painted peanut butter jar decorated with rope and an old clip on earring can hold m&ms, candy corn or other treats.
And a spice jar with a satin ribbon tied on can hold tiny candies… like cinnamon buttons.
This cut bottle has "Bat Wings" for a label. It could hold tortilla chips or jerky. The olive jar is labeled with "Eye of Newt" and would be fun with chocolate chips in it.
And the salsa jar is recycled into a "Dried Rat Tails" container… maybe some small pretzel sticks would be funny!
There are so many different types of containers to use for decor too. You can try salad dressing bottles to make "potions"; ketchup and mustard containers, jam and jelly jars, coffee creamer bottles, and even wicker baskets to hold popcorn, etc.
The ideas are endless.

Zen Cart Reports
It's important to stay up to date with the overall performance of the business. In Zen Cart reports section allows a store owner to view information about customers' behavior on the website.
The following articles describe how to work with different kinds of reports:
- Zen Cart General Reports
- Zen Cart Additional Reports
- Zen Cart Custom Reports
- Zen Cart Reports Over Time
All reports in Store Manager for Zen Cart can be customized, you can change report layout, insert pictures (logos), add and remove fields etc.
Every report consists of two major parts:
- Report template
- Report queries
Report templates stored in .fr3 files they contain report layout information. Report queries stored in .sql files, they contain SQL queries to retrieve data required for report.
You can find report files under "Application Data" directory shortcut:
Start -> All Programs -> MagneticOne -> Store Manager for ... -> Application Data.
By default Store Manager "Application Data" directory looks like this:
Report section helps by automatically calculating hourly, daily, weekly, monthly and yearly data for your store.
Four types of reports are available in Store Manager:
- General Reports,
- Additional Reports,
- Custom Reports and
- Reports Over Time.
These two types are almost identical, the only difference is that custom reports can be modified within Store Manager, you can add new custom reports or remove existing, whereas default Zen Cart reports should be modified with external program called Report Tool (rptviewer). You can find Report tool in application program group along with other program shortcuts:
To edit one of report templates run Report Tool and open appropriate file.
Default report templates are stored in Start -> All Programs -> MagneticOne -> Store Manager for ... -> Application Data -> Reports, English sub-directory in .fr3 files.
Remember that every report besides of its template needs some data to be displayed. To customize data for a report you have to modify its .sql files. SQL files are stored in Reports\SQL sub-folder.
Download User's Manual to learn more about editing Zen Cart reports.
By each report name you can identify its purpose and information it contains. Comparing reports' data allows you to see if you need to make any changes in pricing or description. For some reports you need to specify the report dates before the report is generated.
Once you open the report, the following options are available: print, save, see the report outline, thumbnails, choose page settings and edit page (report). There are also numerous export options available. You can save current report as an image file, PDF file or a table and open it later using some application. This can be a big help when it comes time to fill out your tax report, since you can import it directly into an Excel spreadsheet.
There are many ways to customize a specific Report. Just go to Edit page by clicking corresponding icon. There you'll see "Designer's" toolbar, "Standard" toolbar, "Text" toolbar, "Frame" toolbar, "Align" toolbar. Download User's Manual to get a complete description of this page.
If you have any suggestions on Zen Cart Reports, you're welcome to contact our support team.

By now many readers have seen our Share Willard Beach signs popping up in neighborhoods all over South Portland. Over the past week, I have been walking around my own neighborhood in Meetinghouse Hill, delivering yard signs to the many people who have requested them. It's been an incredibly heartening experience – drivers give me thumbs-up, people pull over and ask where they can get a sign, and several people have asked me how much it costs to buy one. At this point our biggest challenge (a good one to have) is that we're running short on signs, and we have to say no to people who want one.
The Save Willard Beach group has characterized those of us who enjoy Willard with our dogs as a selfish minority supporting an unpopular cause. In my experience, people supporting an unpopular cause generally don't put signs on their yards, canvass door-to-door in neighborhoods all over the city (as our wonderful volunteers have done), donate without being asked, or add their names to a long list of supporters on a Web site. Isn't it obvious whose cause is the unpopular one?
This referendum question has united people from all over the city, who appreciate the beauty of the beach, and the community and fellowship they find there. I am confident that South Portlanders will agree that they want to continue to share Willard Beach with those who use it in a safe and respectful way, and will vote against the ordinance on Nov. 3.
