Top 10 Global Health Issues to Watch in 2014
Thursday, January 30, 2014
Worldwide, our lifespans are expanding. HIV medications are more widely available than ever. And many countries are meeting their Millennium Development Goals. Ethiopia, for example, a country once near the top of the list for child mortality, reached its Millennium Development Goal 4 ahead of schedule in 2013, reducing deaths of children under five by a whopping two-thirds in less than 25 years.
But we also have a lot of challenges ahead.

Our roaster's latest accomplishment. Beans from estates in Brazil, Nicaragua, and Colombia are blended and light roasted for a cup that's flavourful without being too strong. It's a sparkly, citrus and tropical fruit blend with undertones of toffee that come out in the finish.
The trend in Melbourne coffee has certainly been towards citrus and fruit flavours. This coffee fits right in, but with a fuller body than most other fruity beans.

Red Vest Brigade
Welcome to the Red Vest Brigade! As I discuss in the video presentation below, there are at least 100 million Americans in our country who would oppose a Coup D'Etat in the United States of America. Despite the Deep State Media's negative portrayal of President Trump and his supporters, no American agrees with the unlawful tactics by which Marxists are attempting to overthrow our duly elected President.
Whether we like President Trump or not, We The People must stand in defense of the Presidency and in the same spirit we sent President Trump to Washington DC to "drain the swamp", we should stand shoulder-to-shoulder against the Deep State. We will do it peacefully, but with absolute determination.
Please join us in gearing up & letting our President know that if called to do so, we will go to Washington DC and protect him of the Deep State decides to remove him.

|News from WFCC
IMCAS Launches World Data Center for Microorganisms
Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (IMCAS) launched the WFCC (World Federation for Culture Collection) -MIRCEN (Microbial Resources Centres) World Data Center for Microorganisms (WDCM) on May 17, 2011 in Beijing.
Prof. SUGAWARA, former president of WDCM, officially transferred the host of WDCM to IMCAS and Dr MA Juncai becomes the new president of WDCM. IMCAS won the bid for hosting WDCM in October, 2010 and will undertake its development in the coming years. It is the first world data center in the field of life sciences settled in China and will help China's microbial research better involve in international research and promote to establish a data-sharing platform of global microbial resources.
Microbial resources are one of the most important natural resources in the world, which is the scientific basis to support the development of biotechnology and life sciences. Louis Pasteur once stated the importance of microbes "the role of the infinitely small is infinitely large". For example, they are source of critical metabolites such as antibiotics, enzymes, probiotics, etc. Culture collections are like the libraries of these living microbial materials. A hub which can combine these culture collections in different countries becomes a necessity.
As new president of WDCM, Dr. MA states that his research group plans to do more research on analyzing the function of microbial resources and make the information available in the database. Although multiple functions of microorganisms have been explored to produce food and medicine, protect environment and transform energy, the functions of a large number of microbes still remain unknown. If their efforts count, research institutes and companies may find it much easier to search for the right microbial resources with the help of WDCM.
WDCM, the heart of World Federation for Culture Collection (WFCC), once hosted in Australia and Japan, plays as a hub providing a database of microorganisms, analysis of its function and a platform of communication. WFCC is the community of those long term conservation and research facilities that brings together almost 600 collections in 68 countries. It is concerned with collection, authentication, maintenance and distribution of microorganism, cultured cells and all related data and information.

Thought leaders conclude that by 2023, nearly half of dev organizations will have switched from multiple point solutions to VSDPs.
New Regulations, New Opportunities for Developers
The federal government's new cybersecurity executive order leaves a lot to unpack.
The SolarWinds Breach and Securing the SDLC
This highly publicized security breach has negatively impacted many businesses. As firms review their software development process to prevent a similar situation, we provide our thoughts.
Most Enterprise Devops Transformations Fail for This One Reason
Search amazon.com for books with the keyword "devops" and you'll have 970+ to choose from.
Is fear of change preventing your devops transformation from getting off the ground?
It all begins with an idea.Having led and consulted on a number of enterprise DevOps transformation initiatives over the past two decades, there are four key behaviors to enable success (beyond looking at the software development lifecycle as an end-to-end value chain) that are commonly undervalued or overlooked when executing transformations.
Innovation Requires Trust
I've worked with some of the most innovative companies in the world and I've interacted with some of the least innovative companies in the world. What I've learned is simple: innovation requires trust.
Devops Tools Are Growing Up
In a recent talk at QCon, Yevgeniy Brikman asserted that the DevOps industry is in "the stone ages." That's a bold statement, and we generally agree, but not completely.

No, you will not see this cat on any of the local trails. But you may see one at The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens in Palm Desert, CA. The Cheetah is a large cat approximately the size and build of a Great Dane. They have a beautiful spotted coat and distinct facial markings. With the ability to reach speeds near 70 mph, this cat is built for speed and is the fastest mammal on land. Their lungs are also adapted to support high bursts of speed. And their vision is adapted for wide angle viewing - handy when they make a quick turn and need to quickly see what's ahead of them when changing direction.
The Living Desert Zoo and Gardens houses the Cheetahs in a spacious enclosure large enough for a short run. They are often difficult to see. But sometimes they lie in the shade on a high point of the enclosure and treat you to a fantastic viewing of them.
Family: Cat.
On one of our visits we were fortunate enough to get within a few feet of the Cheetah while the cat was being walked to the zoo hospital. VERY COOL!

The Flywheel Command-Line Interface (CLI) is a tool for uploading existing data into Flywheel and downloading data from Flywheel to work with offline. The Flywheel CLI is also required to start jobs and build gears. This article explains how to download and install the Flywheel CLI.
This article explains how to update your Flywheel CLI to the latest version. If you haven't installed the Flywheel CLI, see our article to learn how to download and install the Flywheel CLI.
To download the Flywheel CLI:
Log in to Flywheel.
In the upper-right corner, select your account menu, and select Profile.
Go to the Download Flywheel CLI section, and select your computer's operating system.
A zip file with the following name is downloaded to your computer:
Linux: fw-linux_amd64.zip
OS X: fw-darwin_amd64.zip
Windows: fw-windows_amd64.zip
Follow these steps to download the newest version of the Flywheel CLI and replace your older version.
Open the Terminal app.
Unzip the file.
If you are using macOS 10.15 Catalina release (or later), you need to add the Flywheel CLI as a security exception. If you are using an earlier macOS version or Linux, continue to step 4.
To add the Flywheel CLI as a security exception:
Right-click on fw, and click Open.
Click Open on the warning prompt.
In Terminal, navigate to the Flywheel CLI. For example:
cd ~/Downloads/darwin_amd64
cd ~/Downloads/fw-linux_amd64
(Optional) Enter this command to add the CLI to your PATH:
sudo mv ./fw /usr/local/bin
This makes it easier to access the Flywheel CLI later on. It is not required to add the Flywheel CLI to your PATH. If you do not to add it to your PATH, you must either enter the file path where fw resides in the commands below or run the commands from the same location as the Flywheel CLI.
Enter your password when prompted.
fw-windows_amd64to unzip the file. You should see a
fw.exefile inside.
Open the Command Prompt utility as an administrator.
From the start menu, Search Command.
Command Prompt appears as one of the results.
Right click on Command Prompt, and choose Run as Administrator.
In the Command prompt, navigate to fw-windows_amd64.
For example,
cd C:\Users\[username]\Downloads\windows_amd64
(Optional) To make it easier to access the Flywheel CLI later on, you can add it to your PATH (If you want to learn more about the PATH variable, see this article by Oracle ). You don't need to add the Flywheel CLI to your PATH. However, if you do not add it, you must either enter the file path where fw.exe resides each time your enter a command or you must run the commands from the same folder as fw.exe.
Enter the following command to add the Flywheel CLI to you PATH:
setx path "%path%;C:\your_path"
For example:
setx path "%path%;C:\Programs\fw.exe"
Close and reopen the command prompt utility for the new path to be recognized.
To verify that you are using the newer version of the CLI, enter:
$ fw version
Or if you have not added the Flywheel CLI to your PATH, include the file path where the CLI resides. For example:
C:\Users\[username]\FlywheelCLI\windows_amd64\fw.exe fw version

How does a place become a place? How does it become the de facto capital of a thing, a happening, a zeitgeist, an ethos? At what point does a place become synonymous with a lifestyle? When it comes to action sports, Orange County's designation as its epicenter can be traced back to a small group of young men and the companies that came to define both them and us.
The Natural
If one had to pinpoint the birthdate of the action sports industry, a case could be made for 1951, when a teenaged Hobart Alter announced that he didn't ever want to wear hard-soled shoes or work east of Pacific Coast Highway. Three years after high school graduation, Alter opened a little hole in the wall in Dana Point, California. While surfing had long been a mainstay of Southern California culture, Hobie's Surf Shop was the first storefront establishment where one could purchase surfboards, as opposed to having one made or making one yourself.
Hobart Alter, aka Hobie, spent his early surfing days atop a 50-pound slab of wood that didn't do much except float. In the summer of 1950, a chance encounter changed his life.
Walter Hoffman, one of the best surfers in Southern California, had noticed Hobie's skills and offered to let him try out his board, a balsa construct that was almost half the weight of Hobie's. Hoffman knew immediately that he was watching a natural. He offered to make a board for Hobie or to teach him to make one himself. Hobie chose the latter and, just like that, the action sports world entered its nascency.
Hobie's surfboards became must-haves. In 1954, after honing his craft in his parents' garage for almost four years, the young entrepreneur took a leap: He dumped his own savings and a small loan from his father into the surf shop.
In 1958, along with close friend Gordon "Grubby" Clark, Hobie revolutionized the surf industry by inventing the polyurethane foam surfboard. Lighter, faster and easier to ride than anything on the water, the new boards could, amazingly, be shaped in under an hour.
Within a year, wood boards had become obsolete. Interest in surfing and the surf subculture, on the other hand, surged, thanks in large part to the popularity of the movie "Gidget." Hobie Alter was perfectly positioned to make the boards that everyone wanted to ride.
"Surfing spread to every stretch of coastline on the planet because Hobie's boards outperformed everything in the water," said Mark Christy, owner of local retailer Hobie Sports and Hobie's longtime friend, business partner and, through marriage, relative. "They were easier to make, transport and ride, and less expensive to buy. I would argue that Hobie Alter is the father of modern surfing." But Hobie wasn't finished. In the mid-1960s, he imagined a sailboat that could be launched by one person. By 1968, a doodle in the sand had morphed into the Hobie 14, an affordable catamaran for solo sailors. Unlike other sailboats, the Hobie "Cat" could be transported by car and launched from the sand. In 1970, with the introduction of the two-person Hobie 16, Hobie became an international sensation, sparking what would be known as the "Hobie" way of life and turning the water sports world upside down.
In spite of the company's wild success and the widespread personal acclaim, the man who eschewed hard-soled shoes and a life far from the ocean never left his home base. Only five retail Hobie Surf Shops exist, and all are located in Orange County. The surfboard factory can still be found in Dana Point, and while the Hobie-Cat factory migrated to Oceanside, it was only because it outgrew its original Dana Point location.
"This isn't just a retail operation; it's the home base of a lifestyle," said Christy. "We want to keep it real and to maintain Hobie's unwavering commitment to innovation, authenticity and quality. Real surfers, watermen and lovers of the beach culture know the difference. That's why you'll never find a Hobie Surf Shop in a shopping mall or more than a stone's throw from the sand."
Off the wall, Off the charts
On March 16, 1966, brothers Paul and Jim Van Doren, along with partners Gordon Lee and Serge Delia, opened the Van Doren Rubber Company in Anaheim, California. Unlike most shoe brands at the time, Vans, as they would come to be known, were manufactured on site and were of better quality and, perhaps most importantly, durability, than other rubber-soled footwear.
Vans' first product, the #44 Deck Shoe, now called The Authentic, boasted superior materials and construction: 10-ounce canvas, four-stitch backstays and vulcanized rubber soles. It was this construction that would grab the attention of an unanticipated audience — skateboarders — and set the course for Vans. By the mid-1970s, skateboarding phenoms like the Z-Boys of Santa Monica and Venice, or "Dogtown" were sporting these trendsetting kicks.
"Dogtown skaters Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta asked Vans to create a shoe to help them skate better," said Bobby Gascon, global marketing director for Vans. "We did, and the world's first skateboard shoe was born, as was the tag 'Off The Wall.' Vans knew then that the birth of this culture was not a passing trend, but a true alternative lifestyle." In 1995, after almost 20 years of ups and downs, including a Chapter 11 filing, Vans made a strategic decision to reach beyond its action sports "shoe of choice" status. It became the title head sponsor of the Warped Tour, the largest traveling music festival in the United States.
"Many Vans athletes were also musicians or had friends in bands who ended up being featured in skate or BMX videos," said Gascon. "The action sports culture often works in sync with music culture, pulling trick and style inspiration from one another."
A year later, Vans sponsored the inaugural Triple Crown of Skateboarding, and subsequently purchased the Triple Crown of Surfing. By 2000, the Triple Crown series encompassed skateboarding, BMX, surfing, wakeboarding, snowboarding, freestyle Motocross and Supercross.
"Vans has always been a part of the action sports culture rather than just a sponsor of it," said Gascon. "We saw early on that these athletes needed platforms to advance their sport and to make a living and grow the culture. Vans made a commitment to them."
In addition to backing high-visibility action sports events around the world, Vans made good on its commitment by opening "House of Vans" skatepark/ art gallery/music venue/ indie film house locations in New York, Chicago and London.
Even as these hybrid venues continue to spread the gospel, Vans has not abandoned Orange County. This past summer, the headquarters' 500 employees moved into a new, 182,000-square-foot building in Costa Mesa replete with dart boards, billiards and drum sets. And, with annual revenues at $2.3 billion and rising, the 14-acre plot leaves plenty of room to grow.
Neither its runaway success nor its corporate acquisition in the late 1980s has affected Vans' core ethos of personifying action sports for the youth, skate and street cultures. "We remain Southern California originals, and believe that we are still at the epicenter of action sports," said Gascon. "There's no other place where you can surf, ride the Vans Skatepark, skate the Combi Bowl and snowboard." All before bedtime.

We're on a mission
To transform the way data is used in education
Our expertise in education means we're uniquely positioned to support you with using data effectively to improve pupil performance.
We're here to organise your data in a way that keeps it simple and makes it actionable, helping you improve your teaching strategies and unlock your students' potential.
Brett Griffin
Founder and Chief Executive Officer
After 12 years as a dedicated teacher and five as an Assistant Principal, I'm passionate about supporting teachers to maintain a healthy work/life balance and providing students with the tools they need to impact their own results. There are too many teachers struggling to cope with their workload and too many students falling through the cracks as a result of educators juggling so much. I've experienced this first hand, and that's why I founded Pupil Progress.
I'm here to support you to empower your students to make progress and increase the opportunities available for them and their lives – and that requires meaningful data. Data isn't just numbers on a page or screen – it's powerful knowledge. It tells you precisely what a student has achieved and what skills they need to further develop. Effective use of data has the potential to change lives for the better, and that's what gets me out of bed in the morning.
Barnaby Grimble
Co-founder and Chief Product Officer
Throughout my 12 years as a leader in three schools, I've seen an inextricable link between meaningful, accurate assessment data and impactful teaching and learning.
There's no hiding from it, I'm a data geek. Although it's not the data itself I love, but the knowledge that harnessing the power of your data will have a huge impact in the classroom. Behind every piece of data is a student – and the data is there to tell us their story so that we can provide the best support to them.
I want to take the confusion, pressure and wasted time out of assessment analysis for you. I'll develop the tools you need to rapidly identify underachieving groups and curriculum areas, so you can focus your time where you will have the most impact on your students' progress.

If you are being threatened with the foreclosure of your home, it might be time to consider filing for bankruptcy protection. As soon as you file your bankruptcy case, the automatic stay is effective. The stay prohibits any collection activity, including a foreclosure action, from continuing. The two main types of personal bankruptcy filings are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. You should meet with an experienced New Jersey bankruptcy attorney to discuss which type of filing is best for your individual circumstances. Both types of filing can provide you with help you need in dealing with your foreclosure action. A Chapter 7 case will temporarily stop the foreclosure action. This buys you extra time to remain in your home as well as time to negotiate with your mortgage lender. However, if you are significantly past due on your mortgage payments, your lender will likely seek relief from the automatic stay in order to continue with the foreclosure proceedings. In a Chapter 13 case, the debtor must propose a feasible Chapter 13 plan for repaying the creditors, including the mortgage lender (if you intend to keep your home). Your ability to create a feasible plan depends on a variety of factors such as your basic living expenses and the amount you are past due on your mortgage payments. If the plan is successful, a Chapter 13 filing can stop a foreclosure action. Foreclosure can be one of the most unsettling occurrences for your family. Before you walk away from your home and allow it to be foreclosed upon, meet with an experienced bankruptcy attorney at Levitt & Sflakes. If you are interested in learning how filing a bankruptcy case can benefit you, contact Levitt & Slafkes, P.C., at 973-323-2953. You can also reach us by filling out our online form.

Review: Egyptian magic all purpose skin cream
It's used as an anti-aging skin rejuvenation to maintain radiant, healthy, smooth and glowing skin. This product seems to lighten the scars as well and evens out your skin tone.
Packaging & Price
It has a very plain white jar, it only has a sticker on it and that's it. Lol, it really looks like a cheap product, but it's quite expensive. It's around $30 USD on Ebay for a 4 oz, 118 ml. jar and this will last for approximately a year if you only use it on your face. They also sell it on their website for 36$ including shipping: http://www.egyptianmagic.com.
Texture & Scent
It looks like a yellow/white wax, but when you rub it on your palms it will become oily. The scent really makes me think of vaseline (the original one).
How to use
Take a small amount of magic cream and rub it in your palms until it takes the form of oil. Apply it gently on your skin and let this absorb on your skin for 30 minutes. I recommend to use this before you go to sleep, because it's way too oily to use it in the morning.
The good thing about this product is that it's made of 100% natural products. The ingredients are olive oil, beeswax, honey, pollen, royal jelly, and propolis extract.
My opinion
I really like that this product is made of natural products. I'm using this product for a while now and it really helped with my dry and flaky skin. It feels so moisturizing and my skin feels very soft and smooth when the product is absorbed. So yeah, I'm very positive about this product. I really recommend this to people with dry skin. The only downside about the product is the price =/ is it really worth the $30 USD? I would say no... There are many moisturizing products which are less expensive than this one.
♥ Very moisturizing, gives me a soft and smooth skin
♥ Made of 100% natural ingredients.
♥ It doesn't break me out
♥ You can use one jar for a long time.
♥ Works on all skin types.
♥ The high price!
♥ It's very oily at first and it takes quite a long time to absorb (30 minutes).
If you have tried or seen this product let me know and tell me what you think about it :).

Oooh, I've heard about this maybe once before.. The texture sounds really interesting! I don't think it would work for my super oily skin though :(ReplyDelete

Matt 7:1-6
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. "Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you wil…l see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye. "Do not give dogs what is sacred; do not throw your pearls to pigs. If you do, they may trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces…"
Many use Matt 7:1 as a blanket prohibition of all judgment completely ignoring the whole counsel of the Word of God concerning this very important issue. Judging and discernment is so important for without, the church suffers much in many ways and the most dreadful is having agents of the enemy as her leaders and false teaching prevails.
What the Word of God warned here is about unrighteous judgment such as fault finding. In Matt 7:6, Jesus even told us to judge those who are violent towards the gospel so surely Matt 7:1 cannot be a blanket prohibition. Our Lord clearly stated in John 7:24 that we do not judge by appearances but judge with righteous judgment.
Take a look at the whole counsel of the Word of God and decide whether we want to be fully obedient to the Word of God or choose what we are comfortable with.
We do not judge :
1. Appearances or motives. Jn 7:24; Jas 2:1-4
2. Matters of conscience. Rom 14:1-5.
3. Service of another brother. 1 Cor 4:1-5.
4. In speaking evil of another brother. Jas 4:11-12.
But we should judge :
1. False teaching and error in teaching. Matt 7:15-20; 1 Cor 14:29; 1 Jn 4:1.
2. Serious sins in the church. Matt 18:17; 1 Cor 5:9-13.
3. Disputes in the church. 1 Cor 6:1-8.
4. Qualification of elders and deacons. 1 Tim 3:1-13.
5. In admonishing the idle and slothful; and discern and help the faint-hearted and the weak. 1 Thess 5:14.
6. In not being unequally yoked with unbelievers. 2 Cor 6:14.
Any one walking in the will of God need not be bothered by judging because he or she knows his conscience is clear. Only those who are in error or sin usually are the ones who cry foul of judging, and it is so comical that they also commit the very same act of judging which they denounce by judging the motive of those who judged.

Know What You Are Made Of
Body composition analysis is essential to completely understand health and weight as traditional methods of assessing health, such as BMI, can be misleading. Going beyond your bathroom scale, body composition analysis breaks down your body into four components: fat, lean body mass, minerals, and body water.
What is Body Composition?
Body composition is a method of describing what the body is made of. It includes fat, protein, mineral and body water. It also describes weight more accurately than BMI. Body composition analysis can accurately show changes in fat mass, muscle mass and body fat percentage. This can help validate services like personal training and physical therapy.

Head and Neck Cancer Studies Suggest Alternative Markers More Prognostically Useful than HPV DNA Testing
Reporter: Aviva Lev-Ari, PhD, RN
NEW YORK (GenomeWeb News) – The presence or absence of human papillomavirus DNA on its own in an individual's head or neck cancer does not provide enough information to help predict a patient's survival, according to a pair of new papers in the journal Cancer Research.
Two research teams — headed by investigators at Brown University and Heidelberg University, respectively — looked at the reliability of using PCR-based HPV testing to determine which head and neck squamous cell carcinomas were HPV-related and, thus, more apt to respond to treatment.
Previous studies have shown that individuals with HPV-associated head and neck cancers tend to have more favorable outcomes than individuals whose head and neck cancers that are not related to HPV infection.
"Everybody who has studied it has shown that people with virally associated disease do better," Brown University pathology researcher Karl Kelsey, a senior author on one of the new studies, explained in a statement.
"There are now clinical trials underway to determine if they should be treated differently," he added. "The problem is that you need to appropriately diagnose virally related disease, and our data suggests that people need to take a close look at that."
For their part, Kelsey and his co-authors from the US and Germany assessed the utility of testing for the presence of HPV by various means in individuals with head and neck cancer. This included PCR-based tests for HPV DNA in the tumor itself, tests aimed at detecting infection-associated antibodies in an individual's blood, and tests for elevated levels of an HPV-related tumor suppressor protein.
For 488 individuals with HNSCC, researchers did blood-based testing for antibodies targeting HPV16 in general, as well as testing for antibodies that target the viral proteins E6 and E7.
For a subset of patients, the team assessed the tumors themselves for the presence of HPV DNA and/or for elevated levels of the host tumor suppressor protein p16.
Based on patterns in the samples, the group determined that the presence of viral E6 and E7 proteins in the blood was linked to increased survival for individuals with an oropharyngeal form of HNSCC, which affects part of the throat known as the oropharynx.
A positive test for HPV DNA alone was not significantly linked to head and neck cancer outcomes. On the other hand, when found in combination with E6 and E7 expression, a positive HPV16 test did coincide with improved oropharyngeal cancer outcomes.
Likewise, elevated levels of p16 in a tumor were not especially informative on their own, though they did correspond to better oropharyngeal cancer survival when found together with positive blood tests for E6 and E7.
Based on these findings, Kelsey and his team concluded that "[a] stronger association of HPV presence with prognosis (assessed by all-cause survival) is observed when 'HPV-associated' HNSCC is defined using tumor status (HPV DNA or P16) and HPV E6/E7 serology in combination rather [than] using tumor HPV status alone."
In a second study, meanwhile, a German group that focused on the oropharyngeal form of the disease found its own evidence arguing against the use of HPV DNA as a solo marker for HPV-associated head and neck cancer.
For that analysis, researchers assessed 199 fresh-frozen oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma samples, testing the tumors for HPV DNA and p16. They also considered the viral load in the tumors and looked for gene expression profiles resembling those described in cervical carcinoma — another cancer associated with HPV infection.
Again, the presence of HPV DNA appeared to be a poor indicator of HPV-associated cancers or predictor of cancer outcomes. Whereas nearly half of the tumors tested positive for HPV16 DNA, just 16 percent and 20 percent had high viral loads and cervical cancer-like expression profiles, respectively.
The researchers found that a subset of HPV DNA-positive tumors with high viral load or HPV-associated expression patterns belonged to individuals with better outcomes. In particular, they found that cervical cancer-like expression profiles in oropharyngeal tumors coincided with the most favorable outcomes, while high viral load in the tumors came a close second.
"We showed that high viral load and a cancer-specific pattern of viral gene expression are most suited to identify patients with HPV-driven tumors among patients with oropharyngeal cancer," Dana Holzinger, that study's corresponding author, said in a statement.
"Once standardized assays for these markers, applicable in routine clinical laboratories, are established, they will allow precise identification of patients with oropharyngeal cancer with or without HPV-driven cancers and, thus, will influence prognosis and potentially treatment decisions," added Holzinger, who is affiliated with the German Cancer Research Center and Heidelberg University.
In a commentary article online today in Cancer Research, Eduardo Méndez, a head and neck surgery specialist with the University of Washington and Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, discussed the significance of the two studies and their potential impact on oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma prognoses and treatment.
But he also cautioned that more research is needed to understand whether the patterns described in the new studies hold in other populations and to tease apart the prognostic importance of HPV infection in relation to additional prognostic markers.

In Jefferson, Adams, and Broomfield County, men and women charged with burglary are accused of unlawfully entering a home, business, facility or locked structure with the intent to commit a crime. This crime element is what separates this crime from simply trespassing. The person charged must intend to commit an underlying crime and most typically that involves allegations of intent to commit theft, but it could be any underlying crime like vandalism or assault. The degree or severity of the offense depends on the type of facility that was entered unlawfully and the underlying crime.
3rd Degree Burglary – No House, No Building
Third Degree Burglary is the least serious and lowest degree of this charge. It involves allegations that a person broke into a vault, safe or locked container. In this case, the underlying crime is almost always theft. Typically, Third Degree Burglary is a class 5 felony in Colorado and carries potential penalties of 1-3 years in the Department of Corrections. If the allegation is that the intent was to steal drugs, then the crime is elevated to a class 4 felony carrying a potential sentence of 2-6 years in the Department of Corrections.
Lawful Conduct Can be Charged as Burglary
The broad nature of the word "locked container", makes this crime applicable in many circumstances where you would not normally think of burglary. Imagine the case where a boyfriend is trying to get his things following a breakup. He tries to unlock a cabinet where his things are stored, only to find his ex has changed the lock. If he breaks into the cabinet, he can be charged with this felony crime. As with many of our crimes today, this crime is often charged where a person had no intent to steal, but crossed a definitional line in trying to do a lawful act.
With the complexity of the Burglary statutes, C.R.S. 18-4-202, 18-4-203, and 18-4-204, in Colorado, you need a criminal defense lawyer in the Denver metro area to protect you. So, if you or a loved one have been charged with a crime, be smart, exercise your right to remain silent, and call us at 303-731-0719. Together, we can protect your future.

After many days of contemplation and few days/nights of sewing..., I pulled together a small handmade gift for FB! He liked it and I loved the process so I think it was an win-win:)
I would love to take you through the little narrative of the gift and its opening ceremony!
our shop!
This is how the pencil holder looks when it's ready to be carried! I used a piece of vintage linen from an apron which was made by FB's mother many many years ago! I also rescued a patch of stenciled initial painted on the linen from the apron and turned it into a small pocket!

Welcome to the Biggest Fits of the Week, a roundup of the strongest, wildest, and simply biggest celebrity fits from across the globe.
Alton Mason
Yes, Cannes is home to the renowned film festival—but the festival itself is also an excuse for the famous and fabulous to get together, get dressed up, and have a good time (and maybe even raise some money for a good cause). So if you're young hotshot model Alton Mason and you find yourself in the south of France with the amFAR Gala to support AIDS research on your dance card, you know what to do: dress with utter abandon. And while Mason's look isn't for everyone—nobody needs to see your sternum at the wedding you're attending next weekend—he reminds us that even formal eveningwear can be approached with a sense of joy. And really good shades.
John Mayer
Mayer's new album Sob Rock pulls sonic inspiration from the neon-sprayed '80s. So what better to wear to a listening party for the record than a T-shirt tucked into drapey black pants?
Joey Badass
Underrated suiting accessory: a cigar.
Jason Sudeikis
GQ's August cover star paid tribute to the English national team's three young stars at the second-season Ted Lasso premiere.
Devin Booker
The Suns star continues to dress for serious NBA Finals business.
Bill Murray
The double-wrister turned up to another Cannes premiere in a tropical fit worthy of his legendary status.
Alexandre Mattiusi
It's hard to wear all black and not look like a minor Sopranos character. The Ami designer makes it look easy.
Winston Duke
A silky shirt, fancy sweats, and Gucci slides: excellent talk show outfit, this.
Lars Eidinger
Giving a little glitzy '70s rock star at Cannes.
Bobby Portis
"Crazy Eyes" Portis rocking a fit that'd make eyes pop in Nolita.

With the Titans down for the count in 2010, Clay Travis runs his 'Jeff Fisher Must Go' piece. Look for more columns and posts along this theme over the next few months than you can count. It's pretty much beyond arguing that Fisher is gone after the end of the year, which in all honesty has me feeling a little sentimental at the moment. I've been feeling it ever since the NFL Network reported before the game that Fisher's theme for the week was to play 'like the old Titans teams'. Instantly, I remembered how much I miss Steve McNair.
Linkless thoughts from last night:
• We didn't play well enough to win either game, but the games against the Texans and Colts this year have featured the worst officiating performances I've seen in years. Simply inexcusable to miss that many crucial calls. You'd think the NFL passed a rule automatically giving the Colts 6 shots every time they got within the 10 yard line.
• What'd I say all last week? If your defense can hold a team to 17-20 points a game you should win most of the time. They didn't, so we didn't.
• That may be the second truly terrible snap of Ken Amato's long tenure with the Titans. He's a great long-snapper who is just playing for a snake-bit team.
• Never, ever believe anything Jeff Fisher says related to Jared Cook's playing time. Ever.
I'm sorry Randy. I really am. By all indications you're trying hard enough, we just have no intention of throwing to you for reasons that defy logic. I do appreciate that you've been on your best behavior publicly, but this has to be as bad as any stretch in Oakland was for you.
The Titans once again proved to be the ultimate slump buster for everyone else in the NFL. Can't pound he ball on the ground, throw efficiently, convert third downs or stop turning the ball over? Wait till you play us, you'll get it fixed then.
Kenny Britt came back and instantly revitalized the offense. Despite his brutal fumble and bad 3rd down drop (during which he was getting completely mugged, but whatever), Britt played better than any other receiver we've had all year, even if his number's weren't spectacular. Britt also sported a towel with the number 10 on it for the first half. Meh.
After beginning the game with the penalties, 3-out and mistakes we've come to expect over the past month and a half, the offense started rolling and reeled off 28 points on the way to making a game out of this one. Chris Johnson looked especially inspired as he totaled more than 170 yards in total offense against a Colts team that has almost always shut him down. The offensive line was surprisingly solid for most of the game as well.
Just for the record, punting on 4th and 1 in that situation, at least vaguely close to mid-field, is almost always a terrible idea. If you don't have a play for that situation, then you should probably just punt it every 3rd down just to be safe.
The NFC West may have us by just a hair at the moment, but there's certainly an easy argument to back up Lopez's assertion that the AFC South is the worst division in football.
The Titans' final touchdown may have been the sweetest, because at least it screwed over everyone who put money on the damned Colts.

The ad-blocking feature, which could be switched on by default within Chrome, would filter out certain online ad types deemed to provide bad experiences for users as they move around the web.
Marshall also notes that Google pays to be part of the "acceptable advertising" program and might actually block all ads on sites with the shady ads instead of just the shady ads.
They control a major web browser, (47.4% market share in US) and they rely on ads for profits. Now they get to decide which of those ads people who use Chrome can see, by default. If you think for one moment Google is going to block Google ads, then you are wrong. This is a smart business play, but fucking devious.

"This book actually does not only contain a series of reports, both narrative and investigative. More than that, it was intended to inspire the emergence of truly synergistic movements to carry out a gigantic work: upholding justice and peace in Land of Paradise. This book, thus, intends to motivate the fellow activists to uphold justice and peace that must be fought for in the Land of Papua /Tanah Papua.
Perhaps it is not too much to say that this book also seeks to deliver an approach: understanding Papua from the perspective of Papuans with their special characteristics. Without understanding Papua from their perspective, it seems difficult to look into the heart of Papuans. Therefore, I hope this book will open our horizons so that we are eager to learn from the rich repertoire of Papuans. Why? Because the abandonment of Papua as the heavenly land, undoubtedly, is a serious violation of the enforcement of the values of noble human dignity.

This book is also the result of the at least three years of hard work of SJP colleagues throughout the Land of Papua. In the midst of countless storms and challenges, with the financial support that sometimes stagnates and even uncertain, finally various reports regarding human rights in our beloved Papua are gathered. Again, thanks to the willingness to hold regular and alternating meetings every year in Agats, Jayapura, Merauke, Sorong and Timika, concluded with a strong determination to publish this collection of reports in book form." (Introduction, p. 7)
"The first part is about the Secretariat of Justice and Peace (SJP) throughout Papua and its efforts in fighting for justice in the Land of Papua. SJP is a representation of the Catholic Church which takes an important role in voicing humanity and the tragedy of violent conflict that never ends. The Catholic Church becomes a foothold and as a perspective in interpreting various human rights situations in the Land of Papua.
Part Two, describes numbers of incidents regarding human rights violations in Papua during 2015-2017. The events presented are gathered from SJP reports in each dioceses, partners and SJP networks throughout Papua as well as records of several print and internet media.
Then, in the third or the final part, it has presented conclusions, recommendations, and solutions. From data analysis and various events gathered by the SJP Team throughout Papua, the Writers provided critical notes and in-depth reflections to help readers see and interpret the situation in Papua. In addition, readers and the public understand how the Catholic Church in the Land of Papua addresses these problems." (Foreword by the Author, p. 8)

As we move into the roaring 20s in less than a week, the Pacific Ring Of Fire is putting on a spectacular show with 5 major quakes in the last 36 hours.
Another major quake struck, west of Port Hardy, British Columbia last night making it 3 major quakes in just over 24 hours in the area where Canada's largest historical earthquake- a magnitude 8.1, occurred on August 22, 1949. 3 large aftershocks have been registered with one, registered at magnitude 5.7
Yesterday a magnitude 6.0 rocked Colombia and a magnitude 6.0 struck Argentina.
The recent quakes bring the December total to 11 major quakes (mag 6 or higher) and 143 for 2019 so far, the no of major quakes so far this decade is 1494. The decade started
The decade began with an immense disaster in Haiti, already the poorest country in the Western hemisphere. A devastating, 7.0 magnitude earthquake hit the island on January 12, killing hundreds and thousands of people (220,000 according to Haitian Government figures), and causing severe damage to buildings. UN News
The decade saw the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan, and the fourth most powerful earthquake in the world since modern record-keeping began in 1900. The earthquake triggered powerful tsunami waves that may have reached heights of up to 40.5 meters (133 ft) in Miyako in Tōhoku's Iwate Prefecture and which, in the Sendai area, travelled at 700 km/h (435 mph) for up to 10 km (6 mi) inland. Residents of Sendai had only eight to ten minutes of warning, and more than 19,000 were killed, many at evacuation sites, more than a hundred of which washed away. The earthquake moved Honshu (the main island of Japan) 2.4 m (8 ft) east, shifted the Earth on its axis by estimates of between 10 cm (4 in) and 25 cm (10 in) increased earth's rotational speed by 1.8 µs per day and generated infrasound waves detected in perturbations of the low-orbiting GOCE satellite. Initially, the earthquake caused the sinking of part of Honshu's Pacific coast by up to roughly a metre, but after about three years, the coast rose back and kept on rising to exceed its original height.

TC has the breakdown.
In Case You Missed It, Some Parts of Google *Didn't* Grow Last Year
TC has the breakdown….
Thoughts on the intersection of tech, business, and society.
TC has the breakdown….
TC has the breakdown.
Can you please get access to the same stats for Yahoo…
to make a comparison. It would be interesting to compare their news and maps to Google's.
Also, could you get some stats for YouTube, to compare their growth to Google Videos' decline.
Interestingly, Google took the video link off the homepage
just for the holidays, and replaced it with the drastically declining Shopping (products)
The change in Google product search is interesting, but not surprising, as they appear to be attempting to bury that feature together. At one time it was 'froogle' but it was renamed to 'goolge product search'. I believe even for a brief moment they removed it from the more link. However, I can't say this is a bad thing, as the results are not very good, and never have been. I do wonder why they've avoided this potential market place, as one would assume the potential referrer revenue could be quite substantial, if it performed well. I suppose that the potential for conflict of interest / results may have steered them away from that market. Either way, it's a disappointment, as the sheer volume of data goolge has could be quite beneficial to actual product search. Think of all the variations of product search's you could create;
product news, blog reviews, pricing info, where to buy.
I am most surprised by the 268% growth in igoogle. It appears that this surge in popularity may be a sign of a continued desire for more personalized services. On the opposite side of the spectrum, Google Product search seems to be floundering. This too caught my by surprise, because it would seem more likely that with a 20% growth in Google web search, an increase in product search would seem to come hand in hand – yet this is certainly not the case. I'd be interested in seeing Yahoo's stats as well to see if the patterns are the same.
I was just at an event with a staff member from Google who tells me that ComScore has some of their numbers wrong. I'd double check on these.

Pierre Cardin to fête founder with Paris show on January 28
Pierre Cardin will stage a grand runway come-back by holding a major tribute show in honour of its eponymous founder. The show was initially scheduled on December 29 2021, exactly one year after Cardin died, aged 98, on December 29 2020, and has been postponed to January 28, right after Paris Haute Couture Week, which is set to end on January 27.
This "exceptional runway show" will be held on "Friday January 28 2022 at 7 pm CET at the Le Bourget Air and Space Museum" outside Paris, as the label announced in a press release. Pierre Cardin picked this unique venue in homage to the renowned couturier's spectacular shows. The event, "wished for and masterminded by [Cardin's] nephew Rodrigo Basilicati-Cardin, now at the head of the group, will feature the style and codes that have made the label's success," added Pierre Cardin.
The event will showcase the last models created by the eclectic designer, and will also present the new collection by the Pierre Cardin design studio. In a press conference held in March 2021, Rodrigo Basilicati, who has now added 'Cardin' to his surname, recalled the long hours he spent with Cardin during the pandemic: "he gave me plenty of ideas. He also left many sketches for new models, which will be developed for our next show. It will be a huge show, a tribute to [Pierre Cardin's] memory."
Basilicati, Cardin's spiritual heir, also said that "we can keep the Pierre Cardin ready-to-wear line alive without parroting it, but simply respecting [its heritage], which is very clear, with instantly recognisable products. We want to keep the conversation about [Cardin] going without completely changing the line's identity, as is done at other labels." Basilicati himself has taken charge of the label's augmented design studio.
The show, featuring women's ready-to-wear looks and also a number of menswear ones, will unveil several hitherto unseen Pierre Cardin creations, as well as new models designed by the label's studio, inspired by Pierre Cardin's monumental archives. The latter include nearly 30,000 items and are all held by the group. For the first time, new models created after Pierre Cardin's death will be presented. It will be a significant first step in enabling the label to promote the continuity of its heritage.

A resident of the Veterans Home of California in West Los Angeles tested positive for COVID-19 and was taken to the West Los Angeles VA Medical Center for treatment, authorities said Saturday.
"My thoughts are with our resident and his family as we pray for a full recovery," said CalVet Secretary Vito Imbasciani MD. "Our top priority is the health and safety of our residents, staff, and the wider communities associated with our homes. For many weeks CalVet has taken aggressive steps to protect against the virus and we will continue to work closely with county, state, and federal health officials to mitigate the spread," he said.
CalVet was working to identify anyone in the home who may have come in contact with the infected resident, including staff, Imbasciani said. "We are doing everything possible to continue to protect our other veterans and their spouses, along with our staff members who care for them at the home."
CalVet announced March 31 that two staff members at its Redding home had tested positive for COVID-19, but no other residents or staff in CalVet's eight homes statewide have tested positive, officials said.
Since March 15, CalVet has restricted visits to the homes, except for hospice patients, officials said. Every employee is screened before entering the home and cleaning and sanitizing of all spaces has increased. Family members can get in touch with loved ones on dedicated phone lines and staff have assisted with video calls.

Cirsium scariosum is a species of thistle known by the common names bird's nest thistle, meadow thistle, elk thistle and dwarf thistle. It is native to much of western North America from Alberta and British Columbia south to Baja California. There are also isolated populations on the Canadian Atlantic Coast, on the Mingan Archipelago in Québec.
This is a variable species grows in a variety of habitat types. It is made up of several geographic races, most of which have been previously classified as species. The races intergrade but their morphologies can also be quite different. This is generally a biennial or perennial herb. It takes three main forms, a stemless, flat rosette with a cluster of flower heads in the center, a mounding form with a short, erect stem, or a fully erect form reaching up to 200 cm (79 in) in height. When there is a stem it is usually fleshy, ridged, and woolly in texture. The leaves are sharply toothed or cut into toothed lobes, lined with spines, and up to 40 centimetres (16 inches) at their longest near the base of the plant. The inflorescence holds several flower heads, each up to 4 centimeters long and 5 cm wide. The flower head is lined with phyllaries which may have spines and teeth and filled with white to purple disc florets but no ray florets. The fruit is a compressed achene a few millimeters long topped with a pappus which may be 3 centimeters in length.

Contraband Camps and the African American Refugee Experience during the Civil War
Contraband Camps and the African American Refugee Experience during the Civil War
- Chandra ManningChandra ManningDepartment of History, Georgetown University
In May 1861, three enslaved men who were determined not to be separated from their families ran to Fort Monroe, Virginia. Their flight led to the phenomenon of Civil War contraband camps. Contraband camps were refugee camps to which between four hundred thousand and five hundred thousand enslaved men, women, and children in the Union-occupied portions of the Confederacy fled to escape their owners by getting themselves to the Union Army. Army personnel had not envisioned overseeing a massive network of refugee camps. Responding to the interplay between the actions of the former slaves who fled to the camps, Republican legislation and policy, military orders, and real conditions on the ground, the army improvised. In the contraband camps, former slaves endured overcrowding, food and clothing shortages, poor sanitary conditions, and constant danger. They also gained the protection of the Union Army and access to the power of the US government as new, though unsteady, allies in the pursuit of their key interests, including education, employment, and the reconstitution of family, kin, and social life. The camps brought together actors who had previously had little to no contact with each other, exposed everyone involved to massive structural forces that were much larger than the human ability to control them, and led to unexpected outcomes. They produced a refugee crisis on US soil, affected the course and outcome of the Civil War, influenced the progress of wartime emancipation, and altered the relationship between the individual and the national government. Contraband camps were simultaneously humanitarian crises and incubators for a new relationship between African Americans and the US government.

First, Judge Kim found that instead of using audiologists to conduct the audiological evaluations mandated under the settlement, IDOC improperly used licensed hearing instrument dispensers ( LHIDs ), who lacked the necessary training to properly conduct the audiological evaluations. Although IDOC argued it has now discontinued using LHIDs, the judge still found IDOC violated the settlement agreement by improperly using LHIDs for approximately a year. He ordered IDOC to allow class members who were evaluated by a LHID to receive a new audiological evaluation by a licensed audiologist by August 28, 2020.
Second, the judge found that the wait-times deaf and hard of hearing prisoners were experiencing before receiving audiological evaluations ( in some cases, up to 8 months ) were excessive. He ordered IDOC to provide the mandated evaluations within 90 days going forward.
Third, because of IDOC's failure to comply with the settlement agreement, the judge extended his jurisdiction over the case for an additional year. He also awarded sanctions against IDOC, requiring IDOC to pay plaintiffs' reasonable attorneys' fees and costs relating to investigating and litigating the violation.
"Audiological evaluations are a crucial first step for our clients, as they determine whether class members have hearing loss and need hearing aids. As a result of IDOC's excessive delays, our clients have had to wait months to get the tools they need to help them communicate," said Rachel M. Weisberg, attorney at Equip for Equality. "The Court's decision recognizes the seriousness of the issue and makes clear that IDOC's excessive delays and settlement violations will not be tolerated."
"We fought hard for the rights and accommodations provided under the settlement agreement, which are so important to the daily lives of our deaf and hard of hearing clients," said Robert Michels of Winston & Strawn. "We are glad that the Court's order requires IDOC to comply with the settlement terms, and to timely provide key rights afforded under the settlement."
"Prisons are terrible places for anyone. For someone unable to hear what's going on around them, prison is unimaginably terrifying," said Alan Mills, executive director of Uptown People's Law Center. "Illinois prison officials were making people who are hard of hearing wait for up to eight months before getting the hearing aids they needed to hear what was going on around them. The judge quite properly found this unacceptable."
"The IDOC has long neglected the communication needs and rights of deaf and hard of hearing people in their prisons, and continues to do so long even after the filing of this case in 2011 and settlement in 2018," said Howard A. Rosenblum, CEO of the National Association of the Deaf. "The latest Court order found that the IDOC is continuing violations, and compels immediate change. Deaf and hard of hearing people have communication rights that do not stop at the prison door and must be respected."
The class action was filed May 4, 2011 and alleged, among other things, that IDOC systematically failed to provide American Sign Language interpreters and other alternate forms of communication. Without these accommodations, deaf and hard of hearing prisoners were endangered and deprived of meaningful access to healthcare, religious services, educational and vocational programs, telephones, televisions, library services, disciplinary proceedings, grievances, and pre-release programs. A settlement agreement mandating enhanced hearing screenings, and audiological evaluations and assessments for deaf and hard of hearing prisoners was approved on July 26, 2018.

Quercus rubra L.
Northern red oak, champion oak, red oak
Northern red oak is a common native of eastern North America.
Identification: Trees reach 90' (27 m), exceptionally 165' (50 m). Trunks are usually 20-40" (50-101 cm) around, but they can reach 6' (1.8 m). Leaves are 5-8" (12-20 cm) long. While leaves of white oak typically have rounded edges, red oak leaves have 7-11 lobes with sharp tips. Leaves are shiny and very durable, remaining intact through the winter. Acorns are about 1" (2.5 cm) long, with shallow caps that cover about a fifth of the nut. See the Quercus comparison table.
This robust hardwood is often used for furniture-making, along with white oak. White oak has finer pores than red oak. Both are durable, strong woods, with good dimensional stability.

Last week, Lending Club announced Lending Club Open Integration, which will benefit the retail p2p lending investment community. This launch expands their application programming interface (API), adding to what online advisors and broker-dealers can do on behalf of their clients. The existing API allowed access for third parties to automate investments, submit orders and retrieve balances. New functionality is being introduced with this announcement and the ecosystem is taking notice.
The reason for this new integration is due to the previously cumbersome process of managing Lending Club investments when using third party tools. Previously, users were required to first create a Lending Club account on their website. Users then had to link an API key to the third party, something that is confusing for many people. In addition, any money transfers required you to login directly to your Lending Club account. This limitation meant juggling between LendingClub.com and a third party site and resulted in a poor customer experience. Lending Club is now opening up their systems and two of the third party providers have already announced plans to integrate.
Earlier this week, NSR Invest announced through a press release their plans to participate in the Lending Club Open Integration. NSR Invest targets the financial advisor market, offering a portal for a financial advisor to manage hundreds of p2p lending accounts. They are also currently working on integration with leading portfolio management systems and data aggregation services.
With the new Open Integration, Lending Club account creation and money management can all be done within NSR. The integration will offer a seamless experience for financial advisors and individual investors.
Michael Phillips, Co-Founder and Chief Architect of NSR Invest had this to say about the recent announcement:
We've led the industry in a long series of firsts, beginning back in 2011 when we developed the first-ever independent third-party analytics and investment tool for Lending Club investors. We are building an essential solution for financial advisors who want intelligent access to investment opportunities across the p2p landscape. NSR Invest's proprietary loan selection and order management system sets the standard for stability, speed and responsiveness.
LendingRobot, a third party provider focused on individual investors announced today their participation in the Lending Club Open Integration. LendingRobot describes itself as a robo-advisor for marketplace lending. They offer algorithms and high-speed order execution to enable their clients to have a hands-off investing experience. Investors will be able to create a Lending Club account, fund their account and execute orders directly through LendingRobot.com.
Emmanuel Marot CEO and Co-Founder of LendingRobot had this to say about their plans to leverage this integration:
Increasing ease of use and promoting more entrants into the marketplace lending universe is our core mission and works to everyone's benefit. The simpler we make it for new investors to come online, the larger the marketplace lending industry will grow helping borrowers and lenders alike.
It's nice to see Lending Club's continued focus on retail investors. Lending Club is no longer going to rely on investors only using LendingClub.com. The Lending Club Open Integration is solving a problem many investors faced. This process was confusing to newer investors and most investors don't want to be this hands-on. Additionally, a majority of investors want someone else managing their investments and with this asset class it hasn't been easy until now. This integration, along with the partnerships with third parties will make it easier for investors to access this asset class. As more third parties come on board, Lending Club is sure to increase their individual investor base, which was announced to be over 100,000 in their most recent earnings call. Hopefully we will see Prosper follow suit, which will allow for the complete management of multiple marketplace lending platforms on one site.

text: When you manage a website, having a backup is something very important, specifically if you have important data or you have invested money and time in creating the Internet site. There are different scenarios why you could need a backup - if you update a script and something fails, if you erase a file or a whole folder by accident, and so on. Having regular backups will help you avoid any loss of information or at least minimize the damage, which is still better than losing the entire site. You may download a copy of your content on your personal computer once in a while, but as you cannot do that after each change, you need to rely on the backups your hosting provider generates. Since that's something really necessary, you need to ensure that they keep up-to-date backups, considering that a backup performed once every one or two weeks will not do any good if you run a website such as an online store or a holiday accommodation booking website.
