Courts Asia's Q4 profit down 16.4%
Courts Asia's net profit for the fourth quarter fell 16.4 per cent, from S$7.8 million to S$6.6 million on the back of revenue dipping 7.0 per cent from S$207.0 million to S$192.5 million.
For the full year, net profit dropped 38.7 per cent from S$28.3 million to S$17.4 million while revenue slipped 8.6 per cent from S$830.3 million to S$758.5 million.
This was mainly attributable to the group's cost-efficiency initiatives, which resulted in a one-time impact of S$2.2 million, higher exchange loss of S$1.3 million from Malaysia and the S$5.0 million loss from Indonesia operations.
"As we approach festive seasons like Hari Raya or Lebaran Mudik, we expect that sales will pick up, compared to the sequential quarter. That said, given the general weak retail environment, we still expect consumer spending during this period to be fairly moderate in all our markets. As such, we continue to take a cautious approach, particularly for Malaysia when it comes to assessing growth opportunities," said Courts Asia's executive director, group chief executive officer and CEO of Courts Singapore, Terence Donald O'Connor.
The group is currently in discussion with various parties on different opportunities for entry into a fourth market, and Courts Mauritius is one of them.

Downey stars in Less Than Zero
On this day in 1987, Less Than Zero, a movie about a group of wealthy young friends in Los Angeles in the 1980s starring Robert Downey Jr., Andrew McCarthy and Jami Gertz, opens in theaters. Based on a 1985 novel of the same name by Bret Easton Ellis, Less Than Zero told the story of Clay (McCarthy), a college freshman who returns home for Christmas break to discover that his former girlfriend, Blair (Gertz), is involved with his flamboyant, drug-addicted high school friend, Julian (Downey). At the time of the film's release, Downey had already battled his own addiction to drugs and developed a reputation as a Hollywood bad boy. The dark-haired actor's substance abuse problems later generated numerous tabloid headlines and landed him in jail on several occasions; despite this, he managed to continue to turn in acclaimed performances in a variety of movies.
Robert Downey Jr. was born April 4, 1965, in New York City. As a child, he appeared in a string of movies directed by his father, an avant-garde filmmaker whose credits included Putney Swope (1971). After dropping out of high school to purse acting, Downey rose to fame in the 1980s with a stint on TV as a Saturday Night Live cast member from 1985 to 1986 and roles in such movies as Weird Science (1985), Back to School (1986), The Pick-up Artist (1987), Less Than Zero and Chances Are (1989). He received a Best Actor Academy Award nomination for his portrayal of the world-famous comic actor and filmmaker Charlie Chaplin in the director Richard Attenborough's 1992 biopic Chaplin. Other credits include Soapdish (1991), Robert Altman's Short Cuts (1993), Oliver Stone's Natural Born Killers (1994), Two Girls and a Guy (1997) and Wonder Boys (2000), which co-starred Michael Douglas, Tobey Maguire and Frances McDormand.
During the second half of the 1990s, Downey was arrested multiple times on drug-related charges, entered various rehab programs and served time in jail. After being released from jail in 2000, he landed a recurring role on the TV show Ally McBeal; his stint on the show ended, however, after he was arrested again in 2001. Put on probation, Downey later staged another career comeback with appearances in such films as George Clooney's Good Night, and Good Luck (2005), Kiss Kiss Bang Bang (2005) and A Scanner Darkly (2006). In 2008, he played millionaire-turned-superhero Tony Stark in the critically acclaimed box-office hit Iron Man. That same year, Downey also co-starred as a multiple Oscar-winning actor who has surgery to make himself look African-American for a role in a big-budget war movie in Ben Stiller's comedy Tropic Thunder.

Their works, along with other finalists were paraded at the runway during the Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week 2015 Ready To Wear (KLFW RTW) at Centre Court, Pavilion, judged by a distinguished panel of experts including AirAsia Berhad Chief Executive Officer Aireen Omar, KLFW RTW Founder Andrew Tan, renowned fashion designers Khoon Hooi and Jovian Mandagie; and EH! Magazine Editor Khairul Abidin Ishak.
The theme of the Grand Finale was Southeast Asian destinations and inspirations ranged from deep sea creatures and architecture to topical issues like haze and deforestation. Out of all 10 finalists, Ter Mei Ching clinched Second Runner Up as she impressed the judges with her design which was inspired by the Penang Bridge, reflected in structured dresses and shades of grey. She won a pair of return flights to Hong Kong and 33,000 AirAsia BIG Points!
The designer search reflected AirAsia's commitment to help young aspiring talents to fulfill their dreams, to support them and to provide them the highest form of exposure and opportunities available in the fashion industry.
According to Andrew Tan from KL Fashion Week, the competition wasn't just about discovering new talent and the glitz and glamour of the runway show but it's about ensuring these designers have a career that they will follow through with them.
With this in mind, the winners of this year's KL Fashion Week including Ter Mei Ching, will be returning for the next KL Fashion Week, but this time to showcase their entire collection. Andrew also hopes to create a capsule collection twice a year to be made available on the AirAsia site.
With bright futures ahead of them, these finalists are no doubt the up-and-coming faces of fashion to look out for in Malaysia one day.
"We are very proud of our students not just for making it Top 10 and have the opportunity to parade their creation on the prestigious Kuala Lumpur Fashion Week but mostly because they actively sought for opportunities to discover and explore themselves by getting exposed to the industry's challenges out there. They are indeed role models to all our students and in order to nurture skills to reach the par of international standards of excellence, this is a very important attitude to carry for the rest of our lives. Therefore, we congratulate our students for such outstanding display of success," said Tatsun Hoi, principal and founder of ESMOD Kuala Lumpur and The One Academy, one of Malaysia's top arts and design education institution.
Indeed, students of ESMOD Kuala Lumpur are always encouraged to challenge themselves by participating in competitions that expose them to real life industry practice to put to test what they have already learnt from ESMOD Kuala Lumpur, which is under the umbrella of the world's first and oldest fashion school in the world with over 170 years of history! As one of the leading fashion design institutions in the country, ESMOD Kuala Lumpur pledges to provide the best education programme and continues to nurture its students passionately through the world class intensive course of ESMOD Fashion Design & Pattern Making.

Becoming pregnant completely transforms a woman's body. Hormonal changes alter everything from her hunger levels to the flexibility of her joints. But she's not the only one that transforms: a growing body of research is showing that expectant fathers go through hormonal changes of their own.

Editor's note: This is one in a series on Book of Mormon translations and translators.
An article titled "Translation and Transculturation in the Pacific," by Lowell Bishop and Bruce Van Orden, part of a collection in the book "Pioneers in the Pacific," details the struggles of getting the Book of Mormon translated for members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Pacific Islands and Southeast Asia. The Philippines provide a prime example of years-long work.
The largest problem to overcome for many islands, especially the Philippines, was the permeating assumption that the members could get by on English.
"The Filipino Saints themselves kept the misconception alive since many believed that for them to serve in the church they must be able to speak and read in English," the article says.
It took a great deal of time and team effort to get the complete Book of Mormon and other church materials translated into Philippine languages. Bishop and Van Orden cited the 1981 announcement of the Manila Philippines Temple as a turning point.
"Realizing they would be expected to enter into sacred, binding covenants in a language they did not fully understand, the people began pleading for translation into at least three of the 14 major languages in spoken in their country."
"English is the most widely spoken and written language in the Philippines, but Tagalog has gained status as the national language," the LDS Church News reported in 1988, explaining the reasoning for the church's push for a Tagalog translation.
The Deseret News 2007 Church Almanac lists 1987 and 1988 as publishing dates for the partial text, with the complete Book of Mormon being published in 1998.
Selections of the Book of Mormon were published in Cebuano, another Filipino language, in 1992 and the full edition also was published in 1998.
Because of remote locations, combined with the complexity and amount of languages spoken in the islands, some translations, like Tagalog, took more time than European languages. But Bishop and Van Orden identified the misconstrued assumption about using English materials as the largest challenge.
The article quoted Elder John H. Groberg, popular Pacific Island missionary known for his work in Tonga, from a 1992 Ensign article, "City of Angels."
"Our prime role is not to teach people English or how to become American," Groberg said. "Gospel standards and the message of the Atonement and the Restoration don't vary from language to language."

Hello my lovelies!
Just a quick post to let you know I've moved!!
You can now find me on allyscraftytreasures.blogspot.co,.uk
Please pop over and say hi it would be great to see you
Nat xx
So this weekend I took a break from all things crafty and My Hubby, Brother-in-law and his girlfriend took a trip to Center Parcs in Longleat!
I was so excited to go but I did have visions of a Butlins in the woods but I was wrong!! (Sort of!!) They do a Friday to Monday thing and so we arrived to CARNAGE on Friday afternoon we had to queue for half an hour to actually get to the gate and found out once you had unloaded the car at the villa come cabin, which was a good twenty minute slow crawl from the gate in the car, you had to retrace your steps all the way back from where you were staying to the gate to park your car then make you way via the land train for another twenty minute journey back to the villa!!
Sounds exhausting!! It was!!! We started the unpacking only to find that the large majority of the utensils in the kitchen were filthy! So we were starting to wonder what our £400 was for!!
But the funny stories began and we arrived after the brother in law who told us about their lucky escape with a duck!! After leaving the patio door open to cool the place down they were surprised to find a duck in the living area!! Not just any duck….a fearless duck! After much shouting and flapping of arms and one pecked finger later the duck was finally exciled to the patio!
I soon realised we were going to enjoy ourselves this weekend!! On the Saturday we went to do the ONLY free thing in the park (apart from walking) and that was the pool! On the face of it it looked quite cool it had a lazy river, some slides and rapids! It was RAMMED full of people and there were queues for everything but we were excited to get going! We joined the queue for the rapids and went over the ledge into the toasty warm water and on to the outside world, all was going well until……I went over the first slide and smushed my face into the wall of the rapids and on coming up for air I turn to my brother in laws girlfriend with an astonished look on my face and an ominous gap where one of my front teeth had been!
Yes I snapped off one of my teeth! Now something you should realise about me is I am totally accident prone so but me in any situation where I can hurt myself, I will and this day was no exception! There was no quick exit from the rapids but they are thankfully short and after my DH guided me through the rest I went to the lifeguard who gave me some emergency dentist numbers and the advice of sticking som sugar free gum over the tooth….so attractive!! (I felt slighlty less stupid by the fact the when the others went back to the pool the next day they saw another two broken teeth and a broken nose!)
But in true me style the dentist couldn't see me and Center Parc policy is not to sell chewing gum!! But I soldiered on and we moved on to a £21 round of crazy golf!
Which was fab! We had a good laugh and we let the men win 😛 We then went onto a pedalo which has to be said was quite good value and even better that us girls didn't have to pedal around!!
All in all we did have a good chuckle and enjoyed our stay at Center Parcs but I think it was more down to the company an beautiful setting than the rather expensive activities and over crowded pool!! Despite ALL the moaning I've done we would go back to Center Parcs but after ALOT of Saving up!!
That's all for now folks

Today I will be mostly ranting so for those with a nervous disposition look away now….Just kidding 🙂
My rant for today is about Craft fairs, not the organisers who get up at a crack of a sparrows and spend hours advertising events. Or the stall holders who create their goodies with love, passion and hardwork. No I am writing about the lovely ladies, gentlemen, boys and girls who come to the fairs to see your wares (see i'm a poet and I don't know it!)
Now at this point I note the sharp intake of breath from my readers and I'd like to add a disclaimer. I am NOT talking about the genuinely lovely people who come along with nothing but praise and a genuine interest in what you do…no, I'm taking about all those….I can do thaters and the knock you down on pricers!
I've been to more fairs this year than ever before and it makes me sad when I see crafters all bright and optimistic at the start of the fair and by the end of it are mere husks of their former selves swearing that if they hear "I can do that" or (the worst) "That's easy" one more time they won't be held responsible for their actions!
Please believe me when I say no one can devalue what you do but YOU when you let these comments get to you! Take to heart the old saying…"Different strokes for different folks". Hold your head up high when you look at your stall and all your hardwork and the next time someone makes a misguided comment about what you do just smile and ask yourself are they worthy or you awesome handcrafted item anyway!!
So my rant is over and I promise to get off my box 😛
Take Care
Nat xx
Well helllllloooooooooo there!! It's been a while! I didn't realise how long until I looked at my last post!!
So I'll start with where I left off! Ted our garbage disposal terrier is all better and back to his cheeky self!
In fact he's rather annoyed that I'm sat here writing rather than paying attention to him and he's making his displeasure well known by try to lay across the laptop!!
So we're all good here it's been yet another busy few months….we're hoping one day that we'll actually get a bit of peace and quiet but then we'd probably be bored 🙂
I made the tough decision in June that Ally's Stationery was going to take it's final bow at the beginning of July but I would continue to run Ally's Crafts as deep down i love crafting more than doing the stationery so it was a good move for me!
We've just had some awesome news as well…Hubby has got the job he's been after for a while now so we will be on the move for our next adventure in December time! I'm looking forward to moving (I know you must think i'm mad) but I quite like the thought of starting a fresh every couple of years it certainly keeps life interesting!
On the crafty front I've been doing loads of craft fayres lately and DH has been coming with me to keep me company 🙂 He's good to me! We've had a great laugh but always tend to spend more than I sell 😀
Well I just wanted to pop in and say a quick hi and i must write more!!! I'm off back out into the garden to enjoy this awesome sunshine while it lasts!!
Hope everyone out there is happy and well 🙂
Nat xx
Well it has to be said that last week could have been possible the worst week of the year so far!!
Our poor little Ted who is a Doggy Garbage Disposal finally ate one gross thing too many and was poisoned last Tuesday morning!! To watch my poor little puppy fall so ill so quickly will stay with me forever the image of him unable to stand is burned into my memory!! They said he'd been poisoned by Organophosphate (I think I've probably spelt that wrong) which is found in pesticides or cheap fleaing products that you can pick up in the supermarket!!
But we were lucky and our little man is home!!
And straight into the garden to munch on a dead bird….basically no lesson learnt for Ted!! But after a few quiet days he's back to he usual self!
And now he's better it's time for me to manically sew for a fair on Saturday!! So on that note I best be off!!
Speak soon
Nat xx
Is it me or is it ridiculously difficult to work when the weather has been so awesome the last few days!! I can honestly say I can't remember when I did anything remotely productive since the good weather began!! But today I did have to pull the curtains and get down to business and managed to get two proofs of invitations finished (well nearly), I've had a clear out and listed a joblot of craft stuff that i don't use on ebay and did a bit of house work to!!
So i've made up for my lack of work ethic over the last couple of days and now i've actually put the garden furniture out it's bound to cause a change in the weather so i can get back to work!!
I've done quite a lot of sewing the last few days which is good as my next fairs on the 7th!! Here's the first finished one for a new home card!
This next one i was well chuffed with…until I got it out of the hoop to find that the rubber hoop that I used had marked the aida and I can't get it out!!! I've tried everything short of bleach! So I'm not sure what I'm going to do with this one!!! if anyone know's how to get dirty marks out of aida pllleeeeaaassseeee let me know!!
Well that's it for today! I'll post some more pics soon…but for now I think i've done enough working and it's time to make the most of the late afternoon sun!!
Nat x
So my family and friends are sick of me going on about it so I'm going to tell you lot! 🙂 Last week I fell down the stairs!!! The worst thing was I was actually watching where I was going for a change and STILL fell….I wasn't carrying anything or even checking my phone!!! So the long and short of it was I landed on my BUM and have spent the last week hobbling around whilst trying not to sit down and I've made sure everybody knows about it!!! 😀
Still that's no excuse for not posting for a while! I made a new years resolution this year (yes I know it's March!!) that I would try to do one craft fair a month….some months I've actually ended up with two a month! I also decided I would move away from papercraft and more into my latest obsession…cross stitch!
So with these two changes I suddenly realised I didn't have a lot of items to sell and have manically been sewing over the last couple of months to make sure I at least have some cross stitch to mingle in with the card stock i already had.
Last weekend I did my second fair of the year in Brackla Community Centre in Bridgend and I broke the don't spend your profits rule and I brought this….
I love this, I'm not normal a fan of plastic flowers but i'm fascinated by these! and it looks brill on my mantelpiece
My mum and sister also came down for a visit and a bit of sea air and came along to help and brought me and Nick a thank you gift
This is the closet i'm going to get to a well behaved Ted!! 🙂 Fresh out of the kiln the day before the fair….that's my favorite thing about fairs, the fact that you actually meet the person who made what you've brought!
Well that's all for today Nick's cooking meatballs for tea nom…nom…nom

In the good old days when the modern office was invented and a '9 to 5' was actually a '9 to 5' the idea of an open plan office was awesome. Computers were added to the office and everyone was able to start to work and communicate with each other across the open plan space….. Good times!
Fast forward 25 years and we still have the open spaces but that communication element has gone into overdrive. Working 9 to 5 has become working from the moment you wake up until the moment you pass out and it's not a fax machine sending messages, it's emails, blogs, vlogs, social media, text, instant message, push message, video message, instant recorded message…..! The list goes on.
A lot more noise has been added to people's lives and the capacity to absorb all of this information is in the red. To counter this people really need an off switch, this is becoming a real need rather than a nice to have. The work spaces we now design have silent areas, phone booths, no laptop areas, no phone areas, sleeping area's and even the odd Yoga studio.

Sometimes we forget that we have so much to be thankful for. It is nice on Thanksgiving to vocalize it and say all the wonderful things in our life we are thankful for. It was cute hearing the kids say that they were both thankful for their family and friends (and not all the toys they have).
I know what Fred is thankful for...that he gets to eat Turkey on Thanksgiving.
I am thankful we are all healthy and together. Here we are ready to eat. We always go to my parent's house for dinner and then my sister-in-law's house for desserts. That is another thing I am thankful for, our families are both in the same state.
Kids posing.
Some cute little crafts the kids made at school. Here is one from Evan.
And two from Lauren.
Love it! I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving too.

Non-smokers have no sympathy for smokers! – Why not?
"Stop Smoking King" - Freedom 4U Starts Now!
Non-smokers have no sympathy for smokers, but half of all smokers would quit – if they only knew how! There are roughly 45 million smokers just in the United States and nobody seems to feel sorry for them, at all. Research reveals that half of all smokers would quit, if they knew how, but more than 95% of smokers who try to quit without help will return to smoking within six months.
People who don't smoke all say the same thing about smokers: "They know how bad it is for their health, so they should quit." But quitting cold turkey is for only the super-strong willed, because if you want to climb a "mountain," you need the right shoes, some gear and a good guide. But most cessation programs are very BAD guides, in fact, they're not guides at all, but just gimmicks. Most quit smoking programs are sold to…

Mercy Meals Fundraising Nears $20K Benchmark
Reverend Russ Chamberlain says fundraising efforts for Mercy Meals and More have paid off during the past month.
The free breakfast program was in danger of closing it's doors for some time after a lull in donations deflated the non-profit's account to just several hundred dollars.
Reverend Russ tells WBSM's "Mid-Day Live" that's changed in the past four weeks.
The program also received a $5,000 grant from a Lutheran foundation in Wisconsin, as well as $4,000 from another anonymous donor. Several thousand dollars more were collected at various events including, 50's Night, the Whaling City Festival, and the Feast of the Blessed Sacrament.
More fundraising activities, including a skydiving event, are being planned.

Staff writer
In a surprise move during an executive session to discuss personnel at Monday night's city council meeting, Peabody City Administrator Shane Marler resigned. On return to open session, Marler read a letter of resignation in which he cited the negative effect the stress of the job has had on his health and family.
"After much consideration, I have come to the conclusion that it is time for me to move on," he said. "While there is never an ideal time to leave, I feel I am leaving you in a good position and poised for success. I want to thank each of you for the opportunity you have afforded me over the last 5½ years, but the time has come for a new direction."
Council member Tom Schmidt made a motion to accept the resignation with the appreciation of the city council for Marler's contributions. The resignation is effective Aug. 26.
"Shane's resignation came as a surprise to the entire governing body," Schmidt said after the meeting. "He has been an integral part of the city, first as Peabody Main Street director and this past year as city administrator and PMSA director.
"He has helped recruit businesses, helped them start up, assisted them in developing business plans and found funding through Main Street IWW funds or direct bank loans," Schmidt said. "He had vision, ideas, a great work ethic, and enthusiasm. He will be missed and we thank him for his above-and-beyond service."
Marler indicated he intends to stay on as Peabody Main Street Director, pending a decision by the Main Street board of directors. A date and time for that meeting has not yet been established.

Patrick Mennucci, deputy (PS) of the Bouches-du-Rhône and close to the former minister, says the "World" : "He is ready, but to consult still. "
A new entrant into the primary from the left ? According to a relative of Vincent Peillon, contacted by The World Wednesday, 7 December, the former minister of education is preparing to be a candidate. The member of the european parliament could announce his candidacy " in the coming days, ". The information was revealed by The Point and Le Canard enchaîné.
withdrawal from political life French national, became professor of philosophy at Neuchatel in Switzerland, and author of novels, Vincent Peillon would consider plunging into the bath socialist. the " It is considered that the current candidates don't represent the heart of the PS and do not allow to bring together widely. Arnaud Montebourg and Manuel Valls, it only represents the two ends of the omelet ", explains one of his friends.
" It is ready, but he consults again, specifies the World Patrick Mennucci, deputy (PS) of the Bouches-du-Rhône and close to the former minister. in He will announce himself a candidate and if this is the case, I would support him. " According to the elected representative in marseille, the issue of sponsorship needed to run in the primary would not be an obstacle.
A part of the socialist Party invites, however, a cautionary note : " the Dutch and The aubrystes are not behind him, Peillon wonders all alone, he was ready to support Holland, but has seen in his renunciation of the opportunity." Will go there until the end ? "I don't know. Peillon, it is a little Hibernatus, the man who disappears and then each time tries to come back ", provides the World this connoisseur of the mysteries of the PS.
last April, at the time of the release of his thriller Aurora, Vincent Peillon seemed determined to put his political career at a distance : " I have done twenty-two years of congress and national offices of the PS, elections, campaigns, small sentences… It is no longer my desire or my agenda ", gave the World.

bad news for Valls
according to The Point, " an operation is being conducted by Aubry, Moscovici, Taubira and Hidalgo to go " Vincent Peillon, today member of the european parliament. In its edition of Wednesday, Le Canard enchaîné also reports that Martine Aubry would be " picked up Vincent Peillon ", due to the lack of willingness to get in the race, the former keeper of the seals Christiane Taubira and the minister of social affairs Marisol Touraine. But the information has been denied by the mayor of Lille.
" I read for the second time in recent days in the press (…) that I would have asked Vincent Peillon to introduce themselves to the primary of the left. I just want to say that I have never had the intention, and that I had no contact with him, directly or indirectly, ", said the ex-first secretary of the PS in a short declaration to the Agence France-Presse.
Her nomination would be bad news for Manuel Valls, then, that the former prime minister began his campaign for the primary.
Read our article : Who are the candidates in the primary from the left ?
Seven candidates are currently reported : Manuel Valls, Arnaud Montebourg, Benoît Hamon, Marie-Noëlle Lienemann and Gérard Filoche (from the left of the PS), and Jean-Luc Bennahmias (ESU) and François de Rugy (ecologist Party). Nominations to the primary of the left are open until 15 December.
Application to the primary of the left, how to use it

Three months ago, I began my last week of my sophomore Spring Term, and I looked forward to the summer months that were ahead of me. It is now hard to believe that the summer I looking forward to was already here and is about to be gone.
I spent the majority of my summer away from my home as I had an internship in Indianapolis, Ind., in the Events and Entertainment department at the Indiana State Fairgrounds, which I landed with the help of the Career Center on campus. Through this internship, I had the opportunity to work with some truly amazing and talented people, and gained a lot of valuable experiences as I assisted in planning several big events, such as the Annual Queen Pageant.
The past month has been very exciting, yet exhausting. As of Tuesday, I will have worked 300-plus hours in 30 straight days. With my internship keeping me so busy, I have not had time to worry, or even think about anything else, and with the Fair just ending, I am beginning to comprehend what lies ahead of me. I have one major thing yet to prepare for: attending The Philadelphia Center (TPC).
TPC is something that I have been interested in since my freshman year. I remember hearing about this program during August Experience, but even though it was something that I wanted to pursue, I never thought it would actually happen. Now, two years later, I am about to begin the journey that I have been looking forward to since my first weeks at Hanover.
Just like the incoming freshman class is about to move into their new "home away from home," I, too, will leave my home and forced into a new, unfamiliar place where I will live for the next three months.
Looking back at my first year I remember how extremely nervous and terrified I was to move into my dorm. Once again, I am about to face this obstacle and will have to get used to a new environment. I will have to be willing to try new things and get to know new people. I will have to put myself out there, and step outside of my comfort zone.
Ultimately, I will have to accept the changes in my life. As I will have to do all of things as I adapt to a new place, I hope that the Hanover College Class of 2014 does the same during their first weeks on campus.
Overall, I am anxious, excited, and nervous about TPC, but I look forward to the people I am going to meet, places I am going to see and experiences I am going to have over the next three months. Even though my summer is coming to an end, I am ready to enjoy the journey that lies ahead of me!

A linkage analysis was also carried out. Principal Findings By focusing on variants of interest (benefits of quit codon, frameshift, non-synonymous and splice-site variants not reported in dbSNP130) present in the three affected relatives and not present in the control, we found 69 mutations. However, as WES was not uniform between samples, a total of 324 mutations had to be assessed in the whole family and in settings. Only one mutation (p.Glu227Lys in mutation was found in 25 other MODY-X unrelated subjects. Conclusions/Significance Beyond neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM), is also a MODY gene (MODY13), confirming the wide spectrum of diabetes related phenotypes due to mutations in NDM genes (and as affected carriers can be ideally treated with oral sulfonylureas. Intro Maturity-onset of the young (MODY) is an early-onset non autoimmune form of diabetes having a autosomal-dominant mode of transmission [1]. MODY represents less than 2% of all non autoimmune diabetes instances and it usually develops during child years or young adulthood [1]. This monogenic disorder is due to main dysfunction of pancreatic beta-cells and it is rarely associated with obesity that is not required for its development, in contrast to most common forms of type 2 diabetes [1]. MODY is not a single entity as at least twelve MODY subtypes with unique genetic aetiologies have been reported in the literature: MODY1-and very recently MODY12-non-synonymous and splice-site variants, benefits of stop codon or frameshift mutations, it remained between 7,925 and 11,632 variants, including 540 and 882 variants not reported Ispinesib in Ispinesib the database dbSNP130, respectively (Table 2). Subsequently, we recognized 839 variants of interest Rabbit Polyclonal to MCPH1 present in the three affected relatives (IV4, III5 and IV5, Figure 1) and not present in the non-affected family member (III6, Number 1), of which 69 were not reported in the database dbSNP130 (Table 3). Therefore, it was probable the causal mutation for MODY was included in this set of 69 mutations. However, we found that the depth of protection was not standard, depending on the DNA sample (and not only within the Agilent capture version). Indeed, for instance, we identified a total of 210 variants of interest (of which 34 were not reported in dbSNP130) in the affected member III5, which could not be called in the affected member IV4, as depth of protection was below 8 in the related loci (observe mixtures #4 and #6 in Table 3). Therefore, at this stage, we were not able to know if the affected member IV4 also carried this set of mutations. As the exome of the affected member IV5 was performed with the Agilent capture 50 Mb (instead of 38 Mb for the affected users IV4 and III5), we recognized lots of variants for this family member (2,625 variants of interest of which 209 were not reported in dbSNP130) that could not be called in the affected users IV4 and III5 (observe combination #7 in Table 3). Therefore, at this stage, it was also impossible to know if the two other affected users carried these mutations. Finally, by taking into account all the possible combinations in the three affected users, we identified a total of 324 putatively causal mutations Ispinesib for MODY (not present in the non-affected member III6 and not reported in dbSNP130) (Table 3). Table 2 Number of variants identified through the WES analysis of the four DNA samples. Table 3 Estimation of number of variants to be assessed by genotyping in the prolonged family and in settings. By using an Illumina GoldenGate assay, we assessed the presence of this set of 324 mutations in the whole family (23 additional DNA samples were available, Number 1) and in 406 Western adults (>47 years old), from your French D.E.S.I.R. study, which presented with normal fasting plasma glucose. Among mutations that were not present in the 406 settings, only Ispinesib one mutation (at a heterozygous state) was present in the eight relatives with overt non autoimmune diabetes (II1, III3, III5, III9, III11, IV4, IV5 and V1, Table 1, Number 1). This mutation was also carried by a prediabetic member (IV2), his non-diabetic brother (IV1) and two non-diabetic children (V3 and V4) (Table 1, Number 1). All the other nondiabetic users (III1, III2,.

The high school dropout rate among U.S. Hispanics has fallen to a new low, a decline that comes alongside a long-term increase in Hispanic college enrollment.
Educational attainment among U.S. Latinos has been changing rapidly in recent years, reflecting the group's growth in the nation's public K-12 schools and colleges.
Even though college enrollment rates among young people have risen in recent decades, a Pew Research Center analysis of U.S. Census Bureau data shows that females outpace males in college enrollment, especially among Hispanics and blacks.
A new U.S. Census Bureau report shows that after several years of gains, college enrollments in the U.S. fell between 2011 and 2012. But for one group—Hispanics—college enrollments were up, reflecting Hispanic population growth along with a growing share of young Latinos prepared for college. The new Census Bureau data also shows Hispanic students reached […]
As back-to-school time approaches, statistics show that projected enrollment is on the rise again after slipping a bit in recent years.
A record seven-in-ten Hispanic high school graduates in the class of 2012 enrolled in college that fall, two percentage points higher than the rate among white high school grads.
At the nation's four-year colleges and universities, Hispanics have reached a new milestone and are now the largest minority group, reaching a record 16.5% of the total college student enrollment. One-in-four public elementary school students are Hispanic.
The number of 18-to-24 year old Hispanics attending college in the United States hit an all-time high of 12.2 million in October 2010, driven by a single-year surge of 24% in Hispanic enrollment. Rising educational attainment was a dominant driver of the enrollment trends for young Hispanic adults, with the share of those completing high school and attending college on the rise.
Hispanics have a much higher high school dropout rate than do blacks or whites, but far fewer obtain GEDs. Among dropouts, however, native-born Hispanics are four times more likely than foreign born to have a GED, and as likely as African American dropouts.
Never before in this country's history has a minority ethnic group made up so large a share of the youngest Americans.

The Ohio State baseball team entered its Coastal Carolina trip with an unblemished record, sitting at 3-0-1 after a quick start to the season. That unbeaten start was abruptly put to a screeching halt, as Duke crushed OSU 8-1 Friday afternoon.
OSU's hitters were stymied by Duke's ace Bailey Clark. Over six strong innings, the 6-foot-5 right-handed junior recorded 10 strikeouts, while the Blue Devil offense was powered by sophomore center fielder Evan Dougherty, who smashed three home runs in four at-bats.
Redshirt sophomore pitcher Adam Niemeyer (0-1) was tagged with the loss for OSU, dropping the Buckeyes' record to 3-1-1. The righty from Minster, Ohio, threw 6.2 innings for the Buckeyes, allowing four earned runs and striking out seven, one shy of his career high.
OSU's only offense in the loss came from junior left fielder Ronnie Dawson, who hit his first home run of the season to center field in the bottom of the sixth inning.
Game 2
OSU quickly turned the page on its first loss on the season on Saturday to grab a 6-4 victory over the No. 19 Coastal Carolina Chanticleers, the host of the tournament.
OSU's offense was powered by the long ball, as the Buckeyes crushed three home runs, moving their season total to 10 through six games.
The first homer came from the bat of senior co-captain Nick Sergakis. The three-run blast to left-center field pulled the Buckeyes out of a 2-0 hole in the fourth inning. The Columbus native said he had a lot of emotions running through him as he ran around the bases versus the club he transferred to OSU from, but he was able to keep himself in check.
"Maybe if I was a little younger, and a little more pissed off at them, I would have shown it a little more," the third baseman said in a postgame interview posted to the team's Twitter account. "I tried to act professional because it was early in the game, and it only put us up at the time being. I knew what type of team they coach over there, and what type of players they recruit. I knew it was going to be a fight to the finish."
OSU's surge in the fourth was continued by freshman designated hitter Brady Cherry, who hit his first career homer to plate senior first baseman Zach Ratcliff, pushing OSU's lead to 5-2. Cherry would later add his second home run of the game with a solo blast in the eighth inning, which proved to be plenty of run support for junior ace Tanner Tully and the OSU bullpen.
In total, Tully fanned a career-high nine batters over 5.1 innings of work, earning his second win of the season (2-0). The combined effort of sophomore righty Seth Kinker and senior lefty Michael Horejsei protected the OSU lead into the eighth inning, where redshirt sophomore Yianni Pavlopoulos took over.
Needing five outs for OSU's fourth win of the year, the Homer Glen, Illinois, native picked off the lead runner, then stuck out four more batters to earn his first career save. In total, OSU's pitching staff combined for 13 strikeouts in the win.
OSU coach Greg Beals said he was pleased to see his team respond a day after experiencing something it hadn't in many months: a loss.
"It's a big win against a great program in their ballpark today," Beals said in a press release. "I really liked the fact that we did it on the heels after not playing very well yesterday. The character that we showed to bounce back — it was good to come in here and get a win.
"We did a lot of little things right today, too. We used a couple pickoff plays that we've been working on during the offseason and also had a big out on a bunt play. The home runs look great on the scoresheet, but we did the little things right this afternoon."
OSU is set to continue its trip in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, with two more games. The Buckeyes are scheduled to face Liberty on Sunday at 1 p.m. before a rematch against Coastal Carolina on Monday at 4 p.m.

Eye care - Cataract Operations
What happens if you don't test your eyes!
A Cataract close up
How I had a cataract removed
The gift of sight
Eyesight is a valuable gift. We see and hear from the time we are born and take it for granted.
At least I did until I read about Helen Keller. Helen Keller was rendered blind and deaf in early childhood by meningitis, but with the help of tutor Anne Sullivan, went on to become one of the most respected women in the although, as a child, effectively she could not communicate at all. This helped me "see" how important vision and hearing are.
As a child I had excellent eyesight and no one in my family evrer needed specs.
This continued to be so until early adulthood, when as a Junior computer operator, I started to suffer with headaches.
The music of the time was
The Dave Clark Five "Glad All Over" and Bits And Pieces"
The Four Seasons "Save It For Me" And "Big Man In Town"
The Beach Boys had "Fun, Fun, Fun"
The Searchers had "Needles And Pins","Don't Throw Your Love Away","When You Walk In the Room" and "Love Portion Number Nine"
And Beatles were really hot with 'I Want To Hold Your Hand" amonst other tunes.
I had an eye test. I had astigmatism. I needed hank B Marvin (Shadows – Dance on) glasses. They were horn rimmed heavy and green tinted. I hated them. They hurt my nose and got in the way. They made me look nerdy and reduced my opportunity window with the chicks. Glasses were not cool! I hated them (er I said that already.).
Now we did not have Google but I went a library and read about astigmatism and found out that "eye exercises" could go some way to relieving this problem. I got some books with small print and read these without specs, in poor light, forcing my eyes to focus. Welll after a few weeks I no longer need the specs and threw them away. A year later I had my eyes tested, my eyes were perfect and so I forgot about the glasses.
Fast Forward to 2007.
The top 5 radio plays are:
Sean Kingston - Beautiful Girls
The Cataract
Over the years my arms are getting shorter as I no longer have the reach to read without specs. I use readers from time to time in poor light or when text is in red or on a red background. I need to have my eyes tested. Guess what! I have a cataract in my right eye. And a budding one on my left.
According to Wikipedia A cataract is a clouding that develops in the crystalline lens of the eye or in its envelope, varying in degree from slight to complete opacity and obstructing the passage of light. Early in the development of age-related cataract the power of the lens may be increased, causing near-sightedness (myopia), and the gradual yellowing and opacification of the lens may reduce the perception of blue colours. Cataracts typically progress slowly to cause vision loss and are potentially blinding if untreated. The condition usually affects both the eyes, but almost always one eye is affected earlier than the other Apparently in the old days you had to wait until the cataracts became "ripe". That is you had to be nearly blind before these could be removed. But now apparently not. They can ber operated on and a glass lens inserted straight away. So I booked the surgery. One eye only for now.
Prior to the operation I had to have various tests at the Eye Institute. By the way the eye hospital is like a battlefield with people wandering about with Eye patches and head bandages. Quite scarey actually.!
The Operation
In any event ,the day of the operation drew nigh and I went in. First surprise, I had a local anesthetic! An injection around the eye and one into the eye! So far painless. Perhaps I should digress at this point and say that when I go to the dentist I refuse the injection because I can't stand the numbness and drooling and I hate that feeling! Well my eye area felt exactly the same. The operation was done with my eye open and it was a strange experience.
An hour or so later after having a patch put on my eye (Aargh Pete the Pirate Aargh) and being given a kit with drops and eye care instructions (no water in the eye from showering,no bumping, jolting or sneezing, no Gym for about a week)In addition I was told to return on the following day for a check up. I find using one eye a challenge. I bump into walls and pour coffee past my cup. So I reckon people losing sight in one eye have to relearn visual acuity. More appreciation for eyesight
The Aftermath
Next day the patch is removed and I am told no driving for 48 hours. Wait 3 weeks and get my eyes test for new specs. Initially I could see very well with no specs required but as the lens settled I needed specs. But as a result,I find that the astigmatism which had been cured by eye exercise is back. So now I need multifocals . I only needed reading glasses originally but since the cataract operation my vision is actually worse in that eye. Because of the glass lens I am not a candidate for corrective surgery, but I can have the lens removed and replaced with a corrective lens but I don't want to go down that route. I am now about to try contacts for the first time. So we will see. my long vision is perfect.
Using contacts at my age is not easy. Getting them in is easy but adjusting ids something else. My reading vision is perfect but now my long vision is a problem. However let's be patient , time will tell.
Good news for now is that I don't have to worry about the cataract on my left eye just yet!
Another great hubmob by Sixtyorso
I hope time will be in your favor with healing! I am very watchful and sympathetic to those with eye trouble. So Frustrating and life changing, how well I know with my mother's journey.
Best to you, how are your travels coming and your wife's back condition, is she doing alright?
I will be hoping for good eye health for you. If you can and your dr approves, try those supplements I mentioned. Omega3 fish oil helps eyes particularly, keep cells healthy, and the others help with inflammation everywhere. Let me know,....
Hi Sixtyorso, gee I've missed you!! I'm glad you had the eye taken care of, and I fear I might have something like that ahead of me...eeek, I'm such a chicken.
As you know, I've written many stories about my mom's blindness, and your story gave me courage. I've had a miserable 2 years suffering with horrible dry eye syndrome. Both eyes are affected, and have a couple of other problems, one of which was a thick oily production that probly could have plugged the leak in the gulf. I should have suggested it...
anyway, guess what? I was allergic to the "natural" tears the dr prescribed and none of us figured it out for months and months.
So, I did my own research, and discovered if I take fish oil, Vit A, Vit D3, and High Gamma VitE, my eyes improve. It's a lot of pills, but worth the result. Eyes still water at times, but the duration is shorter, less redness, and a good excuse for me to lie down with warm packs on the eyes and then cool...
sigh, eyes are precious, and we do need to be carefully pursuing good care !!
I loved your story, as usual!! Good to "talk" to you here on the hub, I'll write about my absence soon.
We moved from Florida to Oklahoma, and are now settled, no more crisis!!! (right? )
Sixtyorso, my husband had perfect vision straight after the op but it deteriorated slightly after that. He was disappointed because his mother had the op and has perfect vision. The surgeon blamed his astigmatism but my hubby was suspicious that was an excuse - so I'm pleased to read you had the same experience, sounds like it's genuine!
Thank you for this informative Hub.
nice tips for cataract patients. It is a common problem in India. Rated up!

Great hub as always Sixty. I am one of those lucky people who even at 39 have perfect vision according to the last eye teat I had, (above average apparently). However, I am not holding my breath on that lasting forever as I am so far the only one in my family not to wear any kind of glasses or contact lenses.
EGreat hub as a;ways there Sixty.
nice article, i enjoy it when i visit
Really enjoyed this, that girl lol, not sure who I felt sorry more sorry for lol.
Great hub, sixtyorso. Always enjoy your writing.
Good advice - I have been short sighted since my early teens I have contact lenses, reading glasses that I need to use for close-up work when wearing contact lenses, glasses for when I'm not wearing my contact lenses, ordinary sunglasses, prescription sunglasses, ordinary and prescription swimming goggles and ordinary and prescription snorkelling masks ..... such a palaver sometimes. Also, cataracts seem to run in my family - I've not got them yet, but I totally sympathise with you.
I am starting to use reading glasses. Mostly when I am tired, my eyes get tired. Happily, I can still read your hub. :)
My eye sight has been bad most of my life. I do need to try eye exercises!
It's amazing how music weaves thru all of our life experiences, where we were, who we were with, the highs and lows. Wonderful hub!
That's right, we take our sight and hearing for granted that it is difficult to imagine how we would cope without. I like the way you always make reference to the music at the time of things happening.
I hope you find a good solution for your problem. All the best!

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Carnival is over and Rio's streets are once again back to normal. According to COMLURB (Companhia Municipal de Limpeza Urbana), the state-owned garbage company managed to collect a total of 849 tones of trash during the five-day Carnival celebrations; a 12 percent increase compared to last year.
The cleaning was mainly done in and around the Sambódromo and on the streets where bloco parties took place. The entire cleaning operation there involved around 1,572 professionals, not including the day-to-day street cleaning, which took place as usual.
In five days 2,427 COMLURB street cleaners removed 317 tones of garbage. Being one of the bigger blocos, Banda da Ipanema generated 12 tones of waste alone, reflecting the record attendance at this year's Carnival.
Although COMLURB recycles the trash it collects, Brazil's waste pickers are really those who do the nitty-gritty work of searching for aluminum cans all over the city to sell to private companies. More so during Carnival, when the streets are crowded with hundreds of thousands of beer drinkers.
Brazil recycled 98.2 percent of the total number of aluminum cans for beverages sold and consumed in 2009, which amounts to 14.7 billion cans according to the latest reports released by the Brazilian Aluminum Association (ABAL).
Brazil is one of the world leaders in the recycling of aluminum cans, which as a result has accounted for R$1.3 billion in 2009. Waste picking has become an officially recognized occupation and has helped boost the economy as well as generating employment and income for thousands of Brazilians, who previously lived below the poverty line.
However, even though Rio's streets look clean there is a problem that has been plaguing the city increasingly from year to year; public urinating. During the Carnival period it has become so frequent that the government has been forced to take action in order to stop the disorderly behavior from both locals and foreigners alike.
Through the recently implemented policy Operação Choque de Ordem' (Operation Shock and Order) by Rio's mayor, Eduardo Paes, people have been arrested for dirtying public property, such as beaches, buildings and parks.
During this year's Carnival 777 law-breakers (including 26 women and 6 foreigners) were taken to the nearest police station and charged with committing an obscene act in accordance with article 233 of the Penal Code. The number of people arrested has more than doubled compared to 2010, when only 360 people were charged.
This has been the government's latest attempt to scare people off and force them to use public lavatories, which Alex Costa, Municipal Secretary for the Department of Public Order (SEOP) says there is no excuse for as there were three times as many portable toilets in the streets than last year, a total of 4,200. "The urinating and bad manners are still a problem. We are penalizing heavily", he told BBC News on Saturday.
In respect to how things will be dealt with in the near future, a further spokesperson for the SEOP said: "Besides the surveillance and detention of street contaminators, the SEOP will introduce a bill proposing executive fines to those who transform the streets of Rio de Janeiro into a large open-air urinal".

Coming approximately a month after "tax freedom day" and the same day that New Westminster residents paid their property taxes the News Leader ran a few interesting financial articles.
On p.A4 there was "Council Expenses Mount" which highlighted how our City's council expenses had "shot up more than $23,000 in 2009 compared to the previous year." Apparently most of the expenses were the result of 5 members who traveled to China/Japan.
Coun. Jaimie McEvoy topped spending with $10,307 in expenses, followed by Lorrie Williams ($8,727), Betty McIntosh ($8,514) and Bill Harper ($8,383), who all made the trip. Mayor Wayne Wright, who led the delegation, incurred $7,133 in expenses, and another $5,151 in expenses stemming from his role as chair of the New Westminster Police Board.
Then on p. A9 there were two more interestingly timed stories, one regarding the number of city employees making over $100K and the other about how the City (read New Westminster taxpayers) will pay for the pier park debt.Apparently we now have almost double the number of employees we had making over $100K in 2008. In 2008 we had 38 staffers making over $100K and we now have 70.
Also on this page was an article on how the City (taxpayers) will be paying for the future debt of the Westminster Pier Park. According to the News Leader, "residential taxpayers won't be on the hook-directly, at least-for paying down the debt, which will total more than $16 million." New Westminster council borrowed $8 million to buy the pier property and another $8.3 million to pay our share of the park construction costs. Supposedly the first loan will be paid back by 2014 using development cost charges, density bonusing and proceeds from the sale of city-owned land. Density bonusing permits developers to build higher density on a site in exchange for payments to the City. One has to ponder how much denser our City will become or how much land our City is going to sell off in the next four years in order for us to be able to raise $8 million. The second loan will cost taxpayers approximately $730,000 annually for 15 years. It should be noted that this loan is for the 'first-phase" of the park. At this rate by the time the vision for this park is fully realized our grandchildren will be paying for it.
