AMENDED[1] - Antitrust: Commission fines banks € 1.49 billion for participating in cartels in the interest rate derivatives industry - frequently asked questions
See IP/13/1208.
A) The products and benchmarks concerned
What are financial derivatives?
Financial derivatives are financial agreements (i.e. contracts) between two counterparties that derive their value from the level of an underlying asset, index, benchmark interest rate, etc.
What role do derivatives play in the European economy?
Derivatives are contracts traded on financial markets that are used to transfer risk. They are of key importance for the European economy. This is because they serve as insurance against price movements and reduce the volatility of companies' cash flows, which in turn results in more reliable forecasting, lower capital requirements, and higher capital productivity. Derivatives have in recent years developed into a main pillar of the international financial system and are an indispensable tool for risk management and investment purposes. Derivatives contribute to improve the operational, information, and allocation efficiency, thereby increasing the efficiency of financial markets. They help lower the cost of capital and enable firms to effectively invest and channel their resources.
What is the interest rate derivatives market? What is the importance of this market?
The most common basic interest rate derivatives are: forward rate agreements, interest rate swaps, interest rate options and interest rate futures. Interest rate derivatives may be traded over the counter ("OTC") or, in the case of interest rate futures, exchange traded.
According to the Bank for International Settlements' statistics on OTC derivatives, interest rate derivatives constitute the largest segment of all OTC derivative products. In other words, of all financial derivatives, interest rate derivatives represent the largest asset class.
Interest rate derivatives products are used by corporations, financial institutions, hedge funds, and other undertakings to, among others, hedge their exposure to interest rates fluctuations.
What are Euro interest rate derivatives ('EIRD')?
EIRD products are interest rate derivatives denominated in Euro. The main benchmark interest rates to which EIRD products are linked to are the EURIBOR rates. Another important benchmark interest rate to which EIRD products are linked to is the EONIA rate.
What are Yen interest rate derivatives ('YIRD')?
YIRD products are interest rate derivatives denominated in Japanese Yen. The main benchmark interest rates to which YIRD products are linked to are the Japanese Yen LIBOR rates. Other benchmark interest rates to which YIRD products are linked to include the Euroyen TIBOR rates.
What are EURIBOR and EONIA? How are they set?
The EURIBOR is a benchmark interest rate intended to reflect the cost of interbank lending in Euros which is widely used in the international money markets. The EURIBOR is defined as an index of the rate at which Euro interbank term deposits are offered by one prime bank to another prime bank within the euro zone and it is based on the panel banks' individual quotes of the rates at which each of them believes that a hypothetical prime bank would lend funds to another prime bank. Indeed, according to the European Banking Federation's Euribor Code of Conduct, panel banks provide daily quotes of the rate that each panel bank believes one prime bank is quoting to another prime bank for interbank term deposits within the euro zone.
The EURIBOR is calculated on the basis of the submissions of panel banks (44 banks at the relevant time) sent on every trading day between 10.45 am and 11.00 am Brussels time to Thomson Reuters, which serves as the calculation agent to the European Banking Federation ("EBF"). The highest and lowest 15% of all the panel bank submissions collected are eliminated. Each panel bank has submitters which are responsible for proposing the quote submissions on behalf of the given panel bank. Submitters operate normally within the treasury department of the given panel bank. The EURIBOR is determined and published at 11.00 am each business day Brussels time (10.00 am London time). Each panel bank provides a contribution for each of the 15 different EURIBOR interest rates (one for each maturity ranging from one week to twelve months – referred to as "tenors").
The EURIBOR does not have an overnight tenor. This role is taken by the EONIA which is an overnight interest rate computed with the help of the European Central Bank as a weighted average of all overnight unsecured lending transactions of certain banks in the interbank market. The banks contributing to EONIA are the same as the panel banks contributing to EURIBOR.
What are the Japanese Yen LIBOR and the Euroyen TIBOR? How are they set?
The JPY LIBOR is set by the British Bankers Association (BBA) and the Euroyen TIBOR is set by the Japanese Bankers Association (JBA). The rates are set daily for different maturities on the basis of submissions from banks that are members of the JPY LIBOR and Euroyen TIBOR panels. These banks are asked to submit each business day, before a certain time, estimates of interest rates at which they believe they could borrow unsecured funds in a reasonable market size on the London interbank money market (in the case of JPY LIBOR) or estimates of what they believe to be prevailing market rates for transactions between prime banks on the Japan offshore market (in the case of Euroyen TIBOR) for various maturities. The BBA and JBA then calculate, on the basis of an average of these submissions, while excluding – at the relevant time – the 4 (in the BBA's case) and 2 (in the JBA's case) highest and lowest submissions, the daily JPY LIBOR and Euroyen TIBOR rates for each maturity. The resulting rates are immediately published and available to the public each business day.
B) The cartels and the Commission's investigation
What is the scope of the two cartel cases?
The conduct established by the two decisions relates to anti-competitive conduct of traders in financial derivatives products tied to the respective benchmark interest rates.
Are banks liable for the behaviour of their traders under EU competition law?
Banks, like any other undertaking, are liable for the behaviour of their employees under EU competition law. The EU's competition rules concern the conduct of undertakings and not that of individuals and on this basis, no express instructions by the banks' management are necessary for an undertaking to be liable for the conduct of its employees.
What is leniency? What are the benefits of the Commission's leniency programme?
The Commission's leniency programme is its main and most effective tool to detect illegal cartels. All major competition agencies have a leniency programme and its optimal functioning is considered to be paramount to the success in the authorities' fight against cartels. Because most cartels are operated in secret, detecting cartels is a major challenge.
Leniency programmes allow authorities to grant full immunity or a reduction in the penalties that would otherwise have been imposed on a participant in a cartel, in exchange for freely volunteered disclosure of information on the cartel and continuous cooperation in the authority's investigation.
As cartels are extremely harmful to the economy and consumers, already their termination can significantly contribute to consumer welfare and a more competitive economy, even though a company that is the first to report a secret cartel to the Commission escapes fines. Moreover a company that receives immunity from fines is not exempted from compensating cartel victims for the damages caused by its participation in the cartel.
Leniency is a successful and powerful tool to detect and terminate cartels. By creating incentives to provide information to competition authorities, well-functioning leniency programmes can also destabilise existing cartels and prevent the creation of new cartels. The operation of a leniency programme by the European Commission since 1996 has significantly improved the Commission's track record in its fight against cartels. Since that time the Commission has sanctioned more than 500 undertakings and imposed more than 16 billion euros in cartel fines.
Why is the Commission acting in a field where financial regulators have also been active?
The Commission has the responsibility to enforce the EU antitrust rules, in particular Article 101 of the TFEU and Article 53 of the EEA Agreement which prohibit cartels, in all economic sectors, including the financial sector.
In contrast to the actions undertaken by regulatory agencies, the Commission focuses solely on breaches of competition rules – in this case collusion between competitors in derivatives markets.
This means that the Commission has looked at the conduct of the relevant bank in respect of financial benchmarks from a different angle. Financial regulatory agencies tackling the possible manipulation of benchmarks may for instance focus on the conduct of single banks rather than a number of banks. By contrast, the Commission has detected and sanctioned cartels.
Participation in a cartel is a very serious infringement of EU competition law for which the Commission, as the EU's antitrust authority, must impose a fine sufficiently deterrent to ensure that other undertakings refrain from engaging in such conduct.
The Commission understands that benchmark manipulation is also being investigated by other authorities or that such authorities may have already imposed fines on some of the undertakings involved in these cases, but none of these cases concerns the enforcement of competition rules in the European Economic Area (EEA). Investigations of other regulators do not relieve the Commission from its responsibility to also ensure that the rules of fair competition are respected in the banking sector.
What is the Commission doing to enforce competition rules in the financial sector?
In the field of interest rate derivatives, the Commission also has an on-going cartel investigation in relation to products denominated in Swiss Franc.
The Commission is also investigating other financial products and sectors, such as Credit Default Swaps (see IP/13/630) and the foreign exchange markets.
The Commission has carried out inspections concerning possible collusion to manipulate benchmarks in the field of oil and biofuels (MEMO/13/435).
[1] By decision of 6 April 2016 the Commission amended the fine for Société Générale. The amended fine is based on amended value of sales data provided by Société Générale in February 2016 after the bank realised that it had initially provided incorrect data to the Commission.*
* - In fact, the bank brought to light an inconsistency in the data submitted to the Commission. [amended on 23 November 2017]

Bare EscentualsReviewing: Bare Essentials Get Started Kit | Rating:
The Bare Escentuals Get Started kit fincludes 2 powder foundations (one light color for the winter and one dark color for summer when you're tanned), 1 warmth, 1 mineral veil, 2 foundation brushes (one for light coverage and one for fuller coverage), and a concealer brush.
Their motto "Swirl, Tap, and Buff" is really that easy. You take the cap off the foundation container, put a little powder on the cap. Using your foundation brush, swirl to make sure you get all the powder on the cap, tap away excess powder, and buff your face! One coat is enough for day and maybe 2 coates for night time. It's oil-free and long lasting! Use the same powder for concealing, which surprisingly will cover up those zits that may come up ocassionally. Warmth is used to add a little pink to your face with the mineral veil finish. I didn't think it would match up to liquid, but it's so much better! It feels so light, it doesn't even feel like you're wearing anything.
It definately takes some getting used to, especially if you use liquid foundation every day. It will feel like you need to use more because you're so used to the cakey feeling. But once you try it for a few days, you'll know that a little goes a long way.
Try it out for yourself - for $75 for the whole kit (worth over $180), you can't go wrong! Available at Sephora or online at www.sephora.com. Sign up for their membership and you get free samplings!

Fabulous Foods For Tailgating
Short ribs, smoked cheese, and gourmet sausage recommended by Central Market's executive chef.
Short ribs
(Serves 4)
1 large, bone-in short rib (ask the expert meat cutters at Central Market to determine pounds needed)
½ cup ginger, fresh, ground
½ cup garlic, peeled, minced
½ cup pomegranate syrup
½ cup pickling spice mix
¼ cup fennel seed
¼ cup fenugreek seed
Preheat oven to 200°. In a hot, dry sauté pan, toast the pickling spice mix until aromatic. Be sure to keep the spice mix moving to ensure even toasting. Set aside and let cool. In the same sauté pan, reheat the pan and repeat step one with the fennel seed and fenugreek seed. Set aside and let cool. Combine the toasted pickling spice mix, fennel seed, and fenugreek seed and grind in a blender until coarse. Combine the ground spices with the fresh, ground ginger, minced garlic, and pomegranate syrup to create a paste. The paste should lean toward a more wet consistency. Add more syrup as needed. Season the short rib with salt and pepper and sear in a broiler just enough to seal in the moisture of the short rib. Cover the short rib generously with the spice mix/ginger/garlic/pomegranate paste. Try to pack the paste onto the seared short rib as much as possible. Wrap the short rib tightly in plastic wrap and then wrap tightly with aluminum foil. Place the wrapped short rib in a roasting pan and cook in the oven for about six hours. Pull the short rib out of the oven and let rest for 10-15 minutes. Then pull the bone out. The bone should come out easily, leaving behind the tender meat. Cut the remaining meat against the grain and serve immediately with grilled asparagus and roasted seasonal root vegetables.
About the expert:
Central Market executive chef Patrick Tarantino is a Dallas native. Perhaps you've heard of a little place called Tarantino's? But he left town for about four years—he and his wife spent some time at Cornell University. She studied hotel management; he served as a senior executive chef. After she graduated, they moved back to town, and he joined forces with Central Market. What drew him there? "They're all about local and regional products," he says. And he has big plans going forward. "We're about to redo the cafe menu and catering, too."

The most important action to remember in an earthquake is to Drop, Cover and Hold in a safe place.
- Drop to the ground somewhere close to you, no more than a few steps or less than three metres away, to avoid injury from flying debris.
- Cover yourself under a strong table or next to an interior wall, away from windows that can shatter and cause injury and tall furniture that can fall on you.
- Hold on to the table legs to keep it from moving away from you. Protect your head and neck with your arms.
- Keep in mind that in modern homes, doorways are no stronger than any other part of the structure and usually have doors that can swing and injure you.
Before an earthquake
- Getting ready before an earthquake strikes will help reduce damage to your home and business and help you survive.
- Develop a Household Emergency Plan.
- Assemble and maintain your emergency survival Items for your home and workplace, as well as a portable getaway kit.
- Practice Drop, Cover and Hold.
- Secure heavy items of furniture to the floor or wall.
- Identify safe places within your home, school or workplace.
- Check your household insurance policy for cover and amount.
- Seek qualified advice to make sure your house is secured to its foundations and ensure any renovations comply with the New Zealand Building Code.
- Visit www.eqc.govt.nz to find out how to quake-safe your home.
During an earthquake
An earthquake can strike anywhere at any time and you may find yourself in many different situations.
- If you are inside a building, move no more than a few steps, drop, cover and hold. Stay indoors till the shaking stops and you are sure it is safe to exit. In most buildings in New Zealand you are safer if you stay where you are until the shaking stops.
- If you are in an elevator, drop, cover and hold. When the shaking stops, try and get out at the nearest floor if you can safely do so.
- If you are outdoors when the shaking starts, move no more than a few steps away from buildings, trees, streetlights, and power lines, then Drop, Cover and Hold.
- If you are at the beach or near the coast, drop, cover and hold then move to higher ground immediately in case a tsunami follows the quake.
- If you are driving, pull over to a clear location, stop and stay there with your seatbelt fastened until the shaking stops. Once the shaking stops proceed with caution and avoid bridges or ramps that might have been damaged.
- If you are in a mountainous area or near unstable slopes or cliffs, be alert for falling debris or landslides.
- After an earthquake.
- Listen to your radio - emergency management officials will be broadcasting the most appropriate advice for your community and situation.
- Expect to feel aftershocks.
- Check yourself for injuries and get first aid if necessary. Help others if you can.
- Be aware that electricity supply could be cut, and fire alarms and sprinkler systems can go off in buildings during an earthquake even if there is no fire. Check for, and extinguish, small fires.
- If you are in a damaged building, try to get outside and find a safe, open place. Use the stairs, not the elevators.
- Watch out for fallen power lines or broken gas lines, and stay out of damaged areas.
- Only use the phone for short essential calls to keep the lines clear for emergency calls.
- If you smell gas or hear a blowing or hissing noise, open a window, get everyone out quickly and turn off the gas if you can. If you see sparks, broken wires or evidence of electrical system damage, turn off the electricity at the main fuse box if it is safe to do so.
- Keep your animals under your direct control as they can become disorientated. Take measures to protect your animals from hazards, and to protect other people from your animals.
- If your property is damaged, take notes and photographs for insurance purposes. If you rent your property, contact your landlord and your contents insurance company as soon as possible.

Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman
Robert K. Massie, 574 pages, Random House
They don't make biographers like this anymore. Usually these days the ability to write clear English is much less and the tendency to promulgate unsupported speculation is much greater, than in the last decades of the twentieth century. That was when Massie published the bestseller which made his name, Nicholas and Alexandra.
The same qualities that propelled Massie to the top then are evident in his prose now. He may not be a great writer of lyrical sentences. Consider his description of the day that Catherine usurped the crown of Russia from her husband Peter III: "That afternoon at Peterhof was warm and sunny, and the lesser members of Peter's entourage remained on the terraces near the cool spray of the fountains or wandered through the gardens under the cloudless summer sky."

Hooked: The Impact of the Underwater Drone
"I've spent time in streams and lakes; I've stepped on enough hooks and felt enough fish against my leg to know there's more underwater than meets the eye. Now, I'm determined to find it."
Danny Vessels and two other Hope College alumni have banded together to develop one of the first underwater drones for personal use. The Fathom One drone, available for purchase at $499 following a Kickstarter campaign launched over the summer. My personal communication with them over the past few years is detailed below and summarized on their website.
The drone incorporates the human desire for adventure, 3D printing design and engineering, and qualities of Web 2.0 to create a product that looks and moves like a fish, handled directly from your smartphone or device.
Controlled by an app, a cable cord attached to the device allows the drone to move within reach and maintain control of the drone for the user. If the drone were to lose battery or malfunction, it would be easily retrieved from the water.
Starting with an entrepreneurship program during their undergraduate career, Danny, Matt and John spent two years creating a model for the drone after agreeing their Michigan summers spent on the lake growing up were full of dreams of shipwrecks, mermaids, and other underwater adventures. Most summers, an artifact would wash up on the shores near their cottages.
While the Fathom One drone fulfills this dream of discovering what lies below the surface, customer surveys also conclude there are opportunities for education, fishing, and marina use.
School teachers in Alaska agree an underwater drone would revolutionize the way students learn about the ocean and the creatures within it. With the capacity for the drone to work at-freezing temperatures, even during cold weather students would be able to experience the ocean live in the winter.
Fishermen's reviews conclude that the capacity to view water in live-time would help with discovering fish and areas that would allow for fish to thrive.
Use in marinas would be applicable to keep humans out of the water in open AC environments. In the case of lost keys or boat accessibility, employees could place the drone in the water to locate the missing items or diagnose the issue of the boat.
Once the product is launched in Summer 2017, more opportunities will arise to determine uses for the drone, and more innovative qualities will become evident as time passes.
Their video provides more detail in regard to their research and customer base.

GAT Engine offers a unique and novel approach to numbers prediction for lotto play. Regular winning has never been so close as it is now with the introduction of the fascinating and revolutionary GAT prediction technology, not to mention boosting chances to get the big prize on your favorite lottery!
Over the years lotto players have been "bombarded" with Hot/Cold/Due systems, analytical processes such as least square methods, numerology, astrology, artificial intelligence - anything you can think of. You may also be one of those people who say lottery number prediction is impossible based on the belief that lotto draws are completely random (are they really?). More or less, all these systems and game play approaches seem to cause no improvement in reward and cannot provide anything regularly to maintain ones interest. So, why is it that yet another prediction engine becomes available? Well, the fact is GAT can offer good and frequent prediction success, compared to either picking numbers randomly, or in our opinion, over any of the above tried but poor reward methods. And GAT is not just a bit better, it can only be described as significantly better!
Don't believe it? GAT gives feedback of its prediction performance of your lotto game and dares to say "I can do way better than anything you have used so far". Just see it for yourself!
Want to gain regular reward from your favorite lotto game or disappointed at not hitting any numbers? Keep on reading then... you are on the right place!
LATEST DEVELOPMENT: We introduce a new online service, tightly related to the original GAT Engine software. Visit GAT Engine Lottery Numbers Prediction Online Service to check it out!
My objective is to provide lotto software with excellent fully featured functionality to enable regular reward. Explore this web site and find out why GAT engine will be the clear product leader!
We hope that you will enjoy using GAT as much as we enjoyed developing it. Be luck less in your lotto no longer!

D. E. Osterbrock (UCO/Lick Obs.'UCSC)
As the first astronomer turned historian of astronomy relatively late in life to receive the LeRoy Doggett Prize, I am especially grateful to its Committee for this high honor. I knew LeRoy well and worked with him when he was Secretary`Treasurer of the HAD before his untimely death. I will begin my lecture by paying tribute to my mentors who encouraged and helped me to become a historian of astronomy, Mary Lea Heger Shane, Owen Gingerich, Helen Wright, and William G. Hoyt. Then I will speak briefly on why I think astronomers are interested in the history of their science, buttressed by quotations from Ecclesiasticus, Henry Ford, Thucydides, and Herodotus. Basically it is because we are interested in our roots, just as members of a family are interested in its roots.
I will talk briefly about the Mary Lea Shane Archives of the Lick Observatory, and what a resource it is for my specialty, American Astronomy in the Big-Telescope Era. Its Curator, Dorothy Schaumberg, has helped me and hundreds of other historians of astronomy tremendously.
I believe it helps anyone who wants to understand the history of astronomy to know and understand astronomy. History must be based on facts, which archives, scientific papers, and books can provide. Immersion in a field like astronomy makes one better qualified to understand what others have done in that field, and how they did it, as Ibsen, Hemingway, Tuchman, and Grisham have all stated and proved by example.
Finally I will give a progress report on my current project, the life and scientific career of the early American astronomer and solar physicist Charles A. Young (1834-1908). Astronomy was very different in his ``small-telescope era," but there are many modern resonances in his problems and their solutions.

Do you ever wonder where your honey bees go to collect nectar and pollen? I do. I spend hours watching my bees come and go from my beeyard. I still don't know where they go, but I know what direction they head when they leave and what direction they come back from. My hives are surrounded by trees. I can look up at a certain tree top at a certain time of day and see hundreds of bees a minute whizzing past one another like cars on a freeway. That particular tree, which happens to be a single dog berry tree in a thick ring of spruce trees, seems to be a visual marker for the bees that says, "This is home." It's a hub of honey bee traffic. But I digress.
I don't know exactly where my bees go to get nectar and pollen, but a free online tool, that came to my attention via Happy Hour at the Top Bar, allows me to map out the potential forage area of my bees. Let's cut to the chase:
Go to FreeMapTools.com and click the link for "Radius Around Point," or the map underneath it that looks like this:

VSAVI CBD Oil 1500mg, High Grade Hemp Extract
Regular price
Strongest CBD Oil. Sublingual
Vsavi CBD Oil Drops are produced using 100% pure organic olive oil using Co2 extracted CBD resins. Our CBD oil tongue drops contain no artificial colours or flavouring, it contains pure clean organic CBD.
- No Additives
- 100% Organic
- Laboratory Tested
- CO2 Extraction
CBD Base: Olive Oil
For sublingual CBD oil consumption ie. CBD tongue drops, we believe pure olive oil represent the safest and most efficient medium. The 2013 study by Leiden University in The Netherlands concludes that "Of all the solvents tested, this leaves olive oil as the most optimal choice for (CBD) preparation… As an extraction solvent, olive oil performs much better, extraction of all the terpenes and cannabinoids tested very efficiently"
CO2 Extraction of CBD
There are several alternative methods of extracting CBD from hemp to manufacture CBD hemp oil, in the past the main stream trend has been the use of solvent based extraction however using CO2 extraction (dry ice) ensures the CBD is maintained in its natural state. CO2 extraction methods now have an important role in industrial chemical extraction. For example, Caffe Nero uses the CO2 method in order to produce their decaf coffee. The CO2 method is non-toxic and unlike solvents, has low environmental impact. All of the extracted ingredients including CBD are not denatured during the CO2 extraction process because of the low temperatures involved.
Our Sublingual CBD Oil
Our pure CBD oil is available in 10 ML bottles and in 5 different CBD strengths: 300 mg, 400 mg, 500 mg, 1000 mg and 1500 mg. 1500 mg is the maximum CBD strength.
CBD Sublingual drops are one the most popular and versatile forms of CBD oil. It is easy to use and easy to control. You simply put the required number of drops under your tongue. Finding the right CBD strengthis a personal journey and will require starting off on a low concentration, increasing the strength and numbers of oil drops until you find the dose that works for you.
The Mayo Clinic has some useful guidelines on what they recommend. The Mayo Clinic is long established and internationally respected in the medical and scientific community.
Please note that after decades of research there is no established lethal dose of CDB but as always it is better to start this journey in a measure and responsible fashion. Best results are obtained when the drops are used consistently as it takes a while for your body to adjust to the chemical compounds found in CBD.
All our CBD Oil products are:
- Natural
- Produced in a clean room
- Tested in a fully equipped laboratory under strict control of chemical experts
- Cleaned from contamination
- Contain no THC or any other harmful cannabinoids
- Organic

As stated by a young Clark Kent, "All those things I can do, all those powers. And I couldn't even save him." kind of sums up the feelings that many in the healthcare industry have these days. Research and studies are happening all the time to further the knowledge base, and thus the possibilities for helping and healing patients. As such, there have been many medical precision advances that have aided in the progress of healthcare and its outcomes.
More advances have been made in this last couple of decades than in centuries before. Each innovative concept has given just a little more power to doctors and other health professionals to save someone or to make their life a little better, or to even prevent an illness from taking someone's life. All of these steps forward are part of an arsenal of medical precision advances that are being added to each day, and being refined for more specific uses.
Precision Medicine
One differentiation that should be made is that precision medicine is somewhat related to personalized medicine but there are some significant variances: Studies are not to make medicine for each person, but to be more specific based on a person's genetic makeup. In this respect, it is almost more about knowing the specific subset of a disease and matching a person's genetic framework to it and the treatment that coincides. Many healthcare professionals see what they are doing each day as personalized medicine because they are working with patients one-on-one, thus being a personal relationship that may or may not have anything to do with medical treatment.
Precision medicine could really be seen more as a gateway to much more in-depth and specific medical processes, treatments, preventative measures, and medicine. We are only now being to define the parameters to it, and yet it is expanding every day in its potential and coverage. The government sees the importance of it, medical professionals see the capabilities of the future, and we all will feel the effects as more knowledge is discovered and applied to our healthcare routines.
Human Genome Project
We have known about the existence of DNA since 1869 when Friedrich Miescher was able to isolate the structure. But it took until 2003 for scientists to finally outline the sequencing and be able to better understand the possibilities that lie within its information.
The reason that this would be considered an advance to medicine is that physicians are using the information held inside the DNA to care for patients with personalized medicine; medicine that takes into account identified traits with their strengths and weaknesses. Specifically, right now, doctors working with cancer patients are able to isolate and use drugs that are better suited for an individual patient rather than treating all patients as equal. The result has been that many more patients have beat cancer more quickly and have eliminated the guessing game of what type of treatment might work best.
Stem Cell Research
Along the same lines as personalized medicine, the utilization of stem cells to help regenerate organs and tissue, along with prospective cures for diseases, stem cells help physicians to work with each patient individually. Though still in its infancy, stem cells hold great possibilities of making sure that each one of us could disregard diseases and illnesses that currently plague our world. The medical precision advancement isn't readily used or completely understood, yet the journey to full discovery is well on its way.
Chemotherapy and radiation have been very effective at eradicating the growing cancer cells in a body, but they also damage healthy cells in the process. Targeted or individualized molecular cancer drugs work much differently; they target only the cancer cells by blocking the cells from replicating and dividing. The way that this is possible is that the targeting drugs go after the specific proteins within the cancer cells. In this respect, no other cells are damaged but the doctors need to know the specific proteins to which they must target. This is individual to the patient and very much a part of the medical precision care effort.
None of this would be possible without a vast amount of collected and analyzed data. This data is being created is stored in a sort of genetic registry where specific details can be looked up and added to. The registry allows doctors to match their patient with someone else with identical or similar characteristics, and then follow a more explicit plan of care. The removal of one-size-fits-all medical mentality is replaced by more precise and effective care for each individual patient. The outcomes are more positive, the elimination of wasted time and energy works to benefit patient and professional, and the ability to focus on needs at hand instead of playing a guessing game are all factors why the healthcare industry is putting so much emphasis on something that isn't fully understood. Precision medical advances may be slow to make it to your local doctor's office or emergency room, but they are making great headways into better treatments and improved care.

Be a part of the Troubadour legacy
http://thefoolishobsession.com/fathers-day-2014-gift-guide/ http://agustinmgomez.com/?x=viagra-for-women-testostrone Tristan Lawson
real viagra from canadian pharmacy The Troubadour, UWF's annual student literary journal, produced by the Department of English, is now accepting submissions for the 2015-2016 issue. For those hoping to break into the world of literature or creative writing, or who are just looking for a place to showcase their art, this could be an opportunity to be published.
http://jenksgirlssoccer.com/?x=cardinal-drugs-ranbaxy-viagra In the archives located in the UWF library, one can find issues of the Troubadour dating back to 1993. Throughout the years, the magazine has been influenced by a new group of writers and artists each semester. Student editors, professors and designers work hard compiling content, laying out pages and designing the format. All of this hard work results in a small booklet showcasing the work and growth of writers and artists improving their craft here on campus.
http://unitingfreshfoods.com.au/?x=viagra-without-prescription John Fink is an English professor and serves as the adviser to the magazine, but says that all of the work is student-written and student-edited.
viagra online us The Troubadour accepts submissions of art, poetry, fiction, and nonfiction from undergraduate and graduate students at UWF. "The writers do not have to be English or Art majors. Any student can submit," said Fink via an email interview.
go here Fink has overseen this creative writing project for more than 10 years. "Troubadour has existed prior to my time here. At least 15 to 20 issues have been published, at a rate of one per year," said Fink.
watch The Troubadour is truly a UWF tradition, and many students enjoy the experience and opportunity.
"It was fun. I got one poem in and I was really excited about that," said Brittany Soder, senior English and Communications double major. "My family was ecstatic. I had to bring three copies home that summer."
"I was published a few different times in high school, and I wanted to keep getting those bylines for creative writing in college," Soder said. "And this is just an easy thing to do. I mean, it's not easy to get in, but it's local to the university and university students, so it made sense to just do it."
Fink said, "Many of the students featured in the journal have gone on to professional careers in teaching, law, medicine, etc." So, not only is it a great creative experience, but also can be used as a vehicle to build a creative writing portfolio or to just get your work out there.
The deadline for submission is midnight Oct. 31, so students still have time to look through sketchbooks and journals to find the right piece to submit.
"I have a few stories I need to look over and maybe a few poems," said Soder, who said she plans to submit some of her work again this year.
There seems to be a lot you can take away from the experience, and the rich history of student writers shows that the Troubadour is a champion for creative writing at UWF.
"Creative writing classes challenge writers to think creatively, independently, and complexly about the complicated world in which we all live, and creative writing as a discipline demands rigor, persistence, nuance, and grace — four characteristics which will serve students well in their personal and professional lives" said Fink.

I originally sent this out on the 7th, but it doesn't seem to be in the archives. From Michael Mahan's message to XMLP, it appears we may already have such a proposal. If so, the proposal below is redundant, but I must have missed the original. If not, here's something to at least get the ball rolling for use case 1. Attached is a strawproposal for SOAP one-way MEP, which I produced by genetically modifying the existing request/response MEP in section 6.2 of SOAP 1.2 Adjuncts. Several caveats: * This is aimed at an abstract SOAP one-way MEP. I haven't taken on how to bind it to HTTP, thereby sidestepping questions like how to use HTTP POST for one-way and what response code if any to use, or whether a cell phone polling a server for a request constitutes a one-way message. The hope is that just defining the abstract MEP at all would be an incremental step forward. * I'm deliberately vague on faults here. In particular, I'm trying to cover the non-robust WSDL MEPs. My guess is that robust MEPs would have to be treated separately. * I took all this from the XMLP page, and munged it with CuneAForm, which I had never used before. The formatting looked OK on my screen but may not on yours. Any not-immediately-visible information, such as anchors or other attributes, is probably nonsense. I didn't draw a new state diagram, though to be fair I don't think the state diagram would have added as much here. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6. SOAP-Supplied Message Exchange Patterns and Features 6.4 SOAP One-way Message Exchange Pattern This section defines the message exchange pattern (MEP) called "One-way". The description is an abstract presentation of the operation of this MEP. It is not intended to describe a real implementation or to suggest how a real implementation should be structured. 6.4.1 SOAP Feature Name This message exchange pattern is identified by the URI (see SOAP 1.2 Part 1 [SOAP Part 1] <imap://firstname.lastname@example.com:143/fetch%3EUID%3E/Sent%3E204?part=1.1.2&filename=SOAP%20Version%201.2%20Part%202%20%20Adjuncts.htm> SOAP Features <http://www.w3.org/TR/2003/REC-soap12-part1-20030624/#procsoapmsgs>): * "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/mep/one-way/" 6.4.2 Description The SOAP one-way MEP defines the exchange of a single SOAP message between a sender and a receiver. In the absence of failure in the underlying protocol, this MEP consists of exactly one SOAP message. In the normal operation of a message exchange conforming to the one-way MEP, the message is first transferred from the sending SOAP node to the receiving SOAP node. Abnormal operation during a One-way message exchange is be caused by a failure to transfer the message. Such failure might be silent at either or both of the sending and receiving SOAP nodes involved, or might result in the generation of a SOAP or binding-specific fault (see *6.4.4 Fault Handling* <imap://firstname.lastname@example.com:143/fetch%3EUID%3E/Sent%3E204?part=1.1.3&filename=SOAP%20Version%201.2%20Part%202%20%20Adjuncts.htm>). Also, during abnormal operation the SOAP nodes involved in the message exchange might differ as to whether the message exchange completed successfully. The scope of a one-way MEP is limited to the exchange of single message between one sending and one receiving SOAP node. This pattern does not mandate any correlation between multiple messages nor specific timing for multiple messages. Implementations MAY choose to support more complex patterns of interaction. 6.4.3 State Machine Description The One-way MEP defines a set of properties described in *Table 3* <imap://email@example.com:143/fetch%3EUID%3E/Sent%3E204?part=1.1.4&filename=SOAP%20Version%201.2%20Part%202%20%20Adjuncts.htm>.

Such properties are initialized according to their own feature specifications. Once the message exchange context is initialized, control of the context is passed to a (conforming) local binding instance. The diagram below shows the logical state transitions at the requesting and responding SOAP nodes during the lifetime of the message exchange. At each SOAP node, the local binding instance updates (logically) the value of the |http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/bindingFramework/ ExchangeContext/State| property to reflect the current state of the message exchange.

The new technology is from the University of California at San Diego, where Joseph Wang and fellow researchers have devised a way to extract electrical power from body sweat.Researchers were able to create smart tattoos by embedding lactate sensors onto temporary tattoo paper that is attached to the skin during exercise. The strip contains an enzyme that strips electrons from lactate compounds.In general, the more intense the exercise, the more lactate the body produces. During strenuous physical activity, the body needs to generate more energy, so it activates a process called glycolysis. Glycolysis produces energy and lactate, the latter of which scientists can detect in the blood.Of course you can't just sweat enough. The tattoos are only capable of extracting 70 microwatts per cm2 of skin, hardly enough to power any of your smartphones, tablets or fitness gear. In order to be economically viable, the team will need to develop a better battery."Right now, we can get a maximum of 70 microwatts per cm2, but our electrodes are only 2 by 3 millimeters in size and generate about 4 microwatts — a bit small to generate enough power to run a watch, for example, which requires at least 10 microwatts. So besides working to get higher power, we also need to leverage electronics to store the generated current and make it sufficient for these requirements," said Wenzhao Jia, Ph.D. Sharehttp://adweek.it/2k7qkYw copy Adweek Adweek

I have been having excruciating breast pain on one side only for a year and half. I have been to many doctors and many tests. A neurologist thought it may be neuropathic pain, but we can not find the cause of the neuropathy. I recently had a breast mri and spoke to a breast surgeon who told me the mri was normal. I asked her to help me figure out what it was because it effects the quality of my life. I have been keeping a log for over a year. It is NOT related to my menstrual cycle. It is pretty much every day, some level of intensity, from 1-9. Above a 7 it feels like I should go to the ER. The pain is NOT RIGHT and there must be some scientific cause, but no one has come up with one. the breast surgeon said it may be time to consider it's non cyclic breast pain, and she even told me she has done double mastectomies on some women for it. I was dumbfounded. I am looking for other women that have same experience, because it just doesn't seem possible pain so bad can have no known cause.
pain description below.
right breast, under breat, side of breast. Multi layered. heavy deep constant burning type of pain, coupled with slow shooting jabbing stabs of pain that come and go. Some times every 30 seconds. Sometimes the shooting part isn't there at all and it's just the heavy, deep contstant pain. There are no triggers and nothing helps.
does anyone have similar problems????:(

Signs and Symptoms of HPV Vaccination
In most cases, infection with human papillomavirus does not cause symptoms. People who are infected with genital HPV often do not even know that they are infected and that they might be spreading it to their sexual partners.
In other cases, HPV infection poses a serious health risk. Certain types of HPV are more likely to cause genital warts, cervical cancer and other types of genital cancers (e.g., penile cancer, vaginal cancer), anal cancer, and oral cancer.
HPV infection may cause abnormal cell changes and warts (benign skin growths). For example, genital HPV can cause lesions or bumps in the genital area. An abnormal Pap test (also called a Pap smear) that shows changes in cervical cells (cervical dysplasia) may be a sign of early cervical cancer.

Tabletop Tuesdays - Changing Things
What a thrill that the wonderful Barb @ Grits And Glamour is hosting a new meme called Tabletop Tuesdays. This is where we all get a chance to see the gorgeous table vignettes that everyone creates. This is not my strong point at all, so I am so excited to be inspired and learn how to create a truly fabulous vignette. So be sure to visit her and see what wonderful vignettes she creates and a list of all the other participants.
With Christmas all packed away, I wanted to change things up a little, so I decided to use a couple of my latest GW and DT finds and create a new vignette for the end table in the living room.
Some figurines, books, a plate and planter and this is what I came up with.
Since my lamp isn't really as tall as I would like, I usually place it on a stack of books. Today I decided to also place my little girl and bird figurines on a couple of books to elevate them a little.
She's such a sweet little girl holding a tiny little bird on her finger. I found her at GW and the tiny little bird beside her was a gift from my good friend Ceekay.
My cute little boy is a recent find at the GW and the darling little sheep came from the DT.
Isn't he just the cutest thing sitting in the tree eating a slice of watermelon.
I really like the two together, and with all the cold weather everyone is having, it's just a little reminder that warmer weather will be on the way soon.
Also just a reminder to grab the buttons on my sidebar and spread the word about the wonderful Valentine's Party that Laurie is having on Feb. 12th and that our next "Cloche Party" is coming up on Feb. 19th. Help spread the word so everyone can join in all the fun.
Thanks so much for stopping by, I always look forward to your visits and I hope you will come by again soon.

These guest rooms were designed as part of an annex to a membership resort hotel in Toba in Ise-Shima, where the 2016 G7 Summit was held. Arranged in an authentic Japanese style, the building is situated in a prime location overlooking the waters of Ise-Shima, with a traditional Japanese-style garden and a large pond that lends an impression of continuity to the sea. The interior was designed in a basic Japanese style that pursues new and modern expressions.
The overall building concept, TeiokuIchinyo (a Japanese expression representing the exquisite harmony between the building and the garden), was applied to the interior concept as well, with the floor plan and spaces designed with an eye on the connection of the rooms to the outside view. The guest rooms project traditional Japanese appeal, designed under the concept of IneiRaisan (lit. In Praise of Shadows), which reaffirms the existence of the traditional beauty of the country in the time-honoured light environment of Japan.
Against this frame, the features of Japanese architecture, original settings, and traditional materials have been arranged in various places with the use of traditional colours, to create a uniquely new Japanese space. Asymmetrical planes that conform to nature and sliding paper doors that divide spaces and cloisters are used as coherent spaces connecting the indoors and outdoors. Headboards are designed as bedside screens to protect against the wind.
An overlapping, twelve-layered, nesting method is used on walls where television storage boards are arranged, lending an impression of art with the use of overlaying panels.
Watermark techniques are also used with traditional Japanese paper screens and lattices through which the light and breeze can pass through gently.
Furniture has been arranged with a low center of gravity, focusing on a low line of sight, and thought has been put into the concept of low lighting with the use of paper-framed lamps. Traditional wood, paper, gilt leaf, and lacquer are frequently used.
Gold, silver, and copper have been added to the traditional Japanese colours of vermillion, indigo, and mustard-yellow to create a unique Japanese style.

Almond Milk Made from Almondie is Simply the Best: Learn More
Read what our satisfied customers have to say about Almondie:
My doctor recommended I cut out all dairy products and switch to almond milk. I did a bunch of research on all the milk substitutes available. From what I found out, most of the almond milks you can buy are full of added sugar and preservatives. I also found out that there's not a high concentration of almonds in most of these almond milks; the ratio of water to almonds is very high and there is food coloring added to make it look white. The thought of having food coloring and all sorts of preservatives in my morning coffee grossed me out. I was so happy to find Almondie because it has zero preservatives and is chemical-free. It's nutritious and delicious with a pure, all-natural taste.
Gabby F., Chicago, IL
I tried half a dozen almond milks from the grocery store until I found Almondie almond butter. Almondie makes the best almond milk ever! I was amazed at how easy it was to make pure almond milk. It took only 30 seconds to make, and you can play with the ratio of almond butter to water, depending on how thick you want it. The almond milk I make from Almondie is so tasty, and I love that it only has two ingredients: 100% pure almond butter and water! I usually blend in a date to sweeten it. No preservatives whatsoever; just pure almond milk. I get jars of Almondie delivered to my house every few weeks - I tell all my friends to buy it!

Book Review
To watch me talk more about what I thought about this book you can watch my youtube video here:
Who saw this book coming? Not me.
If you have somehow missed out on hearing about this book, in a nutshell, it is Twilight told as if all of the female characters were male and all of the male characters were female.
To be honest not much of the plot has changed because of this. I was expecting some more changes to be made throughout it but it remained faithful to the original story for the most part.
There were some changes made but I won't talk about those because they are more fun if you don't see them coming.
I want to say firstly that I enjoyed this version of the Twilight story much more than the original. I feel like this version would have been much better received in general as well.
In this version the protagonists are Beau Swan and Edythe Cullen.
The names of the characters were all similar to the original. At times this could be interesting and other times it made it a little difficult to separate the new characters from the old ones in my mind.
It was interesting to see the story, that is now so well known, in a new perspective. It was fun to read it again with new eyes.
If you were a fan of the original I would recommend giving this one a try.
4 Stars

Bank of England holds interest rates and quantitative easing
Governor Mark Carney believes much of the current 2.7% inflation rate can be blamed on one-off shocks
The Bank of England has rejected calls for a rise in interest rates despite a strong run of surveys showing the economy is recovering at its fastest pace since 2010.
In a widely expected decision, the central bank's interest rate setters kept the base rate at 0.5% and the level of its monetary stimulus to the economy, known as quantitative easing, at £375bn.
Some analysts have called for a rise in interest rates in response to the improving economic picture and a recent jump in housing market activity.
However, the bank's monetary policy committee has agreed to maintain its current policy stance until the unemployment rate falls to 7%. It expects to reach this milestone in 2016 after 750,000 jobs have been created.
Governor Mark Carney believes the economy remains weak and much of the current 2.7% inflation rate can be blamed on one-off shocks.
The bank is known to be extremely concerned at the level of business investment, which has continued to fall this year despite the pace of recovery picking up since the spring and many commentators describing it as a well-advanced and sustainable expansion of economic activity. Without a return to healthy rates of business investment, senior Bank staff fear the economy will be forced to rely on consumer spending to maintain growth.
Philip Shaw, UK economist at Investec, said the positive momentum of the economy made more QE unlikely.
"The key question surrounds the possible timing of the first interest rate hike. This is some way off and the likelihood is that the UK faces a long period of steady policy. Nonetheless markets and ourselves are sceptical that this move will occur as far in the future as the second half of 2016, as the Bank of England's guidance implies," he said, adding that the debt markets expect a rise in early 2015.
Peter Dixon, UK economist at Commerzbank, said: "As far as the immediate future is concerned, the BoE is expected to remain on the sidelines.
"Although the economy can be expected to lose momentum relative to recent trends, we look for a self-sustaining recovery with GDP growth in the region of 2% next year. This is not an environment in which additional policy activism is required, implying no more QE as well as no rate moves."
Howard Archer, chief UK economist at IHS Global Insight, said: "The already limited likelihood of any further QE appears to have waned further as the good news on the UK economy has been largely sustained – notwithstanding a few blips such as the surprise marked drop in industrial production in August. Meanwhile, any change in interest rates is clearly a long way off whether or not unemployment ends up falling more rapidly than the Bank of England currently expects."

DUBAI, Oct 11 (Reuters) - Saudi Arabia's stock index tumbled more than 3 percent in early trade on Thursday, led by petrochemicals and blue-chip banks.
The index was down 3.1 percent at 7,594 points after 25 minutes, confirming a break below the 200-day average, now at 7,871 points — a negative technical signal.
Weakness in emerging markets generally and an overnight drop of over 2 percent by the Brent oil price pushed the Saudi market down. Top petrochemical producer Saudi Basic Industries lost 4.1 percent and National Commercial Bank sank 3.6 percent. (Reporting by Andrew Torchia)

Nick Cave & Typewriters.
So, the Nick Cave film '20,000 days on earth' is coming out soon, and the promotional dance has begun. The trailer has a significant amount of typewriter and writing love. I spotted two typewriters in the trailer, but there may be more.

I once made a coffee for Nick Cave. Man, he's tall!ReplyDeleteReplies
Ha ha ha. I oddly don't remember how tall he is! But he certainly seemed to carry himself with some kind of presence.Delete
I love the look of his office - especially the teetering stacks of books. Mine aren't quite so precarious, but similar.ReplyDeleteReplies
I know how that feels Right now I have boxes packed in a similarly precarious manner, which may topple at any moment.Delete
First I heard of the move or Nick Cave. I need to keep a look-out for the movie. Another office that looks quite similar to my radio room.ReplyDeleteReplies
It reminds me more of my bedroom as a teenager than anything else.Delete
I'd love to add Cave to my list of writers and their typewriters, if we can figure out what machine he's using. Could it be a Tippa S?ReplyDeleteReplies
The unused typewriter to the side of the desk is a Olivetti Lettera 25. However, I can confirm that Nick isn't writing on a Tippa S. The construction is too different. It is definitely plastic with black keys. But I can't identify it.Delete
Ah hah! I've got it!Delete
It is a blue Silver Reed.

I've always liked his music (with the Bad Seeds), but wasn't aware he was a writer. Seems to me Fred Negro is a f***wit!ReplyDeleteReplies
He'd probably be proud of being called a f**kwit. And, he is. He's also a great artist in his own right, but yes. He's a dick - and proud of it.Delete
Richard, Cave's own typewriter was an exhibition here in the National Library a few years ago, along with that which had belonged to Patrick White and others. It's an Olivetti Lettera 25, in a pale grey.Delete
oh hell, I didn't know Cave used a machine! That might explain some of the mannerisms of '...And the ass saw the angel'. In fact, I feel better knowing he's a typerman, considering he's also old-school about his Muse and Protecting his Muse from the influences of cleaners, sycophants etc. Looking FW to film even if I don't have many of his discs.ReplyDelete
