text: Print Overview Colon and small intestineColon and small intestineThe small intestine and colon are components of your digestive tract, which processes the foods you eat. The small intestine and colon extract nutrients and water from the foods. What isn't absorbed by the small intestine and colon continues along the digestive tract and is expelled as stool during a bowel movement. Intestinal ischemia (is-KEE-me-uh) describes a variety of conditions that occur when blood flow to your intestines decreases due to a blockage, usually in an artery. Intestinal ischemia can affect your small intestine, your large intestine (colon) or both. Intestinal ischemia is a serious condition that can cause pain and make it difficult for your intestines to work. In severe cases, loss of blood flow to the intestines can damage intestinal tissue and lead to death. Treatments are available for intestinal ischemia. To improve the chances of recovery, it's crucial to recognize the early symptoms and get medical help right away. SymptomsSigns and symptoms of intestinal ischemia can develop suddenly (acute) or gradually (chronic). The condition presents differently in different people, so no one set of signs and symptoms indicates intestinal ischemia, but there are some generally recognized patterns. Symptoms of acute intestinal ischemia Signs and symptoms of acute intestinal ischemia typically include: Sudden abdominal pain that may range from mild to severe An urgent need to have a bowel movement Frequent, forceful bowel movements Abdominal tenderness or distention Blood in your stool Nausea, vomiting Fever Mental confusion in older adults Symptoms of chronic intestinal ischemia Signs and symptoms of chronic intestinal ischemia can include: Abdominal cramps or fullness after eating, usually within the first hour, and lasting one to three hours Abdominal pain that gets progressively worse over weeks or months Fear of eating because of subsequent pain Unintended weight loss Diarrhea Nausea, vomiting Bloating When to see a doctor Seek immediate medical care if you have sudden, severe abdominal pain. Pain that makes you so uncomfortable that you can't sit still or find a comfortable position is a medical emergency. If you have other signs or symptoms that worry you, make an appointment with your doctor. Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic CausesIntestinal ischemia occurs when the blood flow through the major arteries that supply blood to your intestines slows or stops. The condition has many potential causes, including a blockage in an artery caused by a blood clot, or a narrowing of an artery due to buildup of deposits, such as cholesterol. Blockages also can occur in veins, but they're less common. Whatever the cause, diminished blood flow within your digestive tract leaves cells without enough oxygen, which causes the cells to weaken and die. If damage is severe enough, infection, gangrene and eventually a hole (perforation) in the wall of the intestines can occur. If untreated, intestinal ischemia can be fatal. Intestinal ischemia is often divided into categories: Colon ischemia (ischemic colitis) This most common type of intestinal ischemia occurs when blood flow to the colon is slowed. It most often affects adults older than 60, although it can develop at any age. Signs and symptoms of colon ischemia include rectal bleeding and the sudden onset of mild, crampy abdominal pain. The cause of diminished blood flow to the colon isn't always clear, but a number of conditions can make you more vulnerable to colon ischemia: Buildup of cholesterol deposits on the walls of an artery (atherosclerosis) Dangerously low blood pressure (hypotension) associated with heart failure, major surgery, trauma or shock A blood clot in an artery supplying the colon Twisting of the bowel (volvulus) or trapping of intestinal contents within a hernia Excessive bowel enlargement from bowel obstruction caused by scar tissue or a tumor Other medical disorders that affect your blood, such as inflammation of your blood vessels (vasculitis), lupus or sickle cell anemia Some medications, especially those that constrict blood vessels, such as some heart and migraine medications, and hormone medications, such as estrogen Cocaine or methamphetamine use Vigorous exercise, such as long-distance running Acute mesenteric ischemia This type of intestinal ischemia usually affects the small intestine. It has an abrupt onset and may be due to: A blood clot (embolus) that dislodges from your heart and travels through your bloodstream to block an artery, usually the superior mesenteric artery, which supplies oxygen-rich blood to your intestines. This is the most common cause of acute mesenteric artery ischemia and can be brought on by congestive heart failure, an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) or a heart attack. A blockage that develops within one of the main intestinal arteries and slows or stops blood flow, often as a result of fatty deposits (atherosclerosis) building up on the wall of an artery. This type of sudden ischemia tends to occur in people with chronic intestinal ischemia. Impaired blood flow resulting from low blood pressure due to shock, heart failure, certain medications or chronic kidney failure. This is more common in people who have other serious illnesses and who have some degree of atherosclerosis. You may hear this type of acute mesenteric ischemia referred to as nonocclusive ischemia, which means that it's not due to a blockage in the artery. Chronic mesenteric ischemia Chronic mesenteric ischemia, also known as intestinal angina, results from the buildup of fatty deposits on an artery wall (atherosclerosis). The disease process is generally gradual, and you may not require treatment until at least two of the three major arteries supplying your intestines become severely narrowed or completely obstructed. A potentially dangerous complication of chronic mesenteric ischemia is the development of a blood clot within a diseased artery, causing blood flow to be suddenly blocked (acute mesenteric ischemia). Ischemia that occurs when blood can't leave your intestines A blood clot can develop in a vein draining deoxygenated blood from your intestines. When the vein is blocked, blood backs up in the intestines, causing swelling and bleeding. This is called mesenteric venous thrombosis, and it may result from: Acute or chronic inflammation of your pancreas (pancreatitis) Abdominal infection Cancers of the digestive system Bowel diseases, such as ulcerative colitis, Crohn's disease or diverticulitis Disorders that make your blood more prone to clotting (hypercoagulation disorders), such as an inherited clotting disorder or taking a medication such as estrogen that can increase clotting risk Trauma to your abdomen Risk factorsFactors that may increase your risk of intestinal ischemia include: Buildup of fatty deposits in your arteries (atherosclerosis). If you've had other conditions caused by atherosclerosis, such as decreased blood flow to your heart (coronary artery disease), legs (peripheral vascular disease) or the arteries serving your brain (carotid artery disease), you have an increased risk of intestinal ischemia. Being older than 50, smoking, and having high blood pressure, diabetes or high cholesterol increases your risk of atherosclerosis. Blood pressure problems. Having blood pressure that is too high or too low increases your risk of intestinal ischemia. Heart problems. Your risk of intestinal ischemia is increased if you have congestive heart failure or an irregular heartbeat such as atrial fibrillation. Medications. Certain medications may increase your risk of intestinal ischemia, including birth control pills and medications that cause your blood vessels to expand or contract, such as certain allergy medications and migraine medications. Blood-clotting problems. Diseases and conditions that increase your risk of blood clots may increase your risk of intestinal ischemia. Examples include sickle cell anemia and anti-phospholipid syndrome. Illegal drug use. Cocaine and methamphetamine use have been linked to intestinal ischemia. ComplicationsComplications of intestinal ischemia can include: Death of intestinal tissue. If blood flow to your intestine is completely and suddenly blocked, intestinal tissue can die (gangrene). Perforation. A hole through the wall of the intestines can develop. This results in the contents of the intestine leaking into the abdominal cavity, causing a serious infection (peritonitis). Scarring or narrowing of your colon. Sometimes the intestines can recover from ischemia, but as part of the healing process the body forms scar tissue that narrows or blocks the intestines. Death.

Over the past several weeks a number of people have asked me about specific practices though which they can connect with essence love -- that fundamental aspect of our nature that may be described in a number of ways: as a tender, unbiased openness toward every living being; as an unconditional kindness, gentleness, and affection; or as a very basic sense of well-being which, if nurtured properly, can extend to a kinship with all other living beings. Actually, one of the best, most vivid definitions of essence love I've heard recently came from a student of mine who is a grandmother, who described in terms of the experience of being in the presence of her grandson a radically joyous readiness to love, to laugh, to marvel at the absolute wonder of life expressing itself.
Certainly, there are a variety of meditation techniques that can help us connect with the radical joyousness, the readiness to embrace experience that characterizes essence love. You're probably familiar with some of them, such as mental calming methods and insight practices. However, in order to truly develop our connection to essence love so that it becomes more than just a nice sensation felt every once in a while in mediation but, rather, an unshakable basis of our perception and experience, we need look no farther than paying attention to our behavior in daily life. We do this, as discussed here over the past few weeks, through the practice of the paramitas, positive qualities or characteristics that we strive to practice -- or at the very least, to bear in mind as we go about our day.
We've already explored the first three of the six paramitas: generosity, discipline, and patience. The fourth paramita is often translated as "perseverance," "diligence," "energy," "effort," or, sometimes, "zeal." Its basic meaning lies in dedicating ourselves with joy and enthusiasm to our practices and to our aspiration to benefit others. Diligence resembles patience somewhat in terms of cultivating a willingness to bear adversity. But while patience involves not shying away from challenges, diligence implies an active commitment to taking on the challenges that arise when we commit to helping others.
Often involving some personal sacrifice of time, energy, and other resources, diligence may sound like a hard road. But tsondru, the Tibetan word used to describe this paramita, and virya, the Sanskrit word, both imply an invigorating sense of strength, calm, and focus in taking action that help others.
To use an example, a woman I know recently committed several weeks to staying by her aging father's bedside as he passed through the final stages of his life. It's never easy watching someone die, but she stayed by his bedside, holding his hand, talking to him, listening when he was able to speak. At the same time, she worked to soothe her mother, who suffers from obsessive-compulsive disorder and was frantic during those final weeks.
"But," she said, "however emotionally hard it was, my father's final hours were incredibly peaceful. My mother actually sat by his side, holding his hand as he passed. I'm so glad I was able to be there for him and for her."
Diligence also means taking small actions and appreciating the effect of our accomplishments. In my own case, for example, if I want to clean my kitchen I choose a small area to clean -- the stove or the table. I clean those areas and then I rest for a few moments (or maybe a little bit longer). Then I come back and look at the area that I've cleaned and say, "Wow, this area is really clean. I did a good job." This gives me the energy or enthusiasm to start working on another small area. This is perhaps a different approach from trying to complete a total cleaning, starting a little bit here, moving a little bit there, but never really focusing on one particular area. And appreciating the work that you've done in one small area gives you a kind of enthusiasm for going on to the next area. Without this sort of delight, diligence cannot be developed.
We approach our activities with the kind of forcefulness that can make us physically or emotionally tense. We feel, "I have to do this. I have to get this done right now, right away, altogether." And that kind of attitude can provoke physical and emotional stress.
That's my understanding of the appropriate way of approaching diligence: breaking down a large task into smaller pieces and then taking a little rest. But the most important part of the process is allowing ourselves a moment or two to really appreciate what we've accomplished. When we do that, our confidence in completing a big task begins to grow. We begin to feel, "Yes, bit by bit I can do this -- whatever this is."
So here's this week's challenge: As you proceed a little bit farther along the path of practicing essence love, pause every once in a while throughout the day to appreciate something that you've done. It doesn't have to be a huge undertaking. It can be something as simple as organizing your desk, or cleaning a room, or smiling at someone on the bus. When you take this time to appreciate what you've done, do you experience a bit more enthusiasm, a bit more energy to go on to the next step, the next task?
Take a look around you, too, as you practice. You might just see that your enthusiasm is infectious. Seeing the light in someone else's eye, a spring in their step, a hint of a smile on their lips is actually one of the signs that essence love is expanding within you, becoming a light that warms and brightens the whole world.

I'm not exactly fond of the amethyst colored piggy beads. They look good in the picture with the light shining through them, but without direct light they're a rather gray purple.
As I started with the embellishments I thought, done in Christmas colors, this design would make a pretty wreath ornament. I've finally found a source of piggies that actually had a good assortment and have ordered five more colors. The design still needs a little tweaking even on what I've already done.

Quick Reference
The protein encoded by the cro regulator gene of lambda (λ) bacteriophage (q.v.). The cro gene lies alongside C 1 gene, with its promoter to the immediate left. During transcription the host transcriptase moves to the right. Movement of this enzyme can be blocked by the lambda repressor (q.v.), which binds to an operator that overlaps the cro promoter. The cro repressor contains 66 amino acids. The monomers associate in pairs to form the active repressor, which binds to DNA via a helix-term-helix motif (q.v.). The cro repressor is required for the virus to enter the lytic cycle (q.v.). Since the cro repressor represses the lambda repressor, it is sometimes called an antirepressor. See Chronology, 1981, Anderson et al.; regulator gene.

Employment in Oslo
I am looking to move to Oslo, but am having a difficult time finding a job. I do not speak Norwegian, but I am currently in the process of learning it right now. Does anyone know of any companies that will hire someone who only speaks English? I am an American and have a business degree with a double major in Finance and Marketing, so I would prefer a "corporate" job, but am up for anything at this point. Any suggestions, ideas, or tips would be incredibly helpful.
Thank you all so much!

Using a thermal cycler of his own design(circuit below) Brian Blais of Bryant College was able to achieve successful pcr. It's important to note, because using a simple incandescent light bulb he got ramping of 1C/sec for heating and .25C/sec for cooling which is only about 3 times slower than lab quality PCR machines. Not to mention his cost $25 and most pcr machines are in the >$1k range.
If you are a diybiologist and are planning on adapting Brians lightbulb pcr for your home lab, I'd recommend you adapt the circuit to utilize an arduino (or any prototyping platform with an ADC), that way you wont need to dedicate a laptop to run your thermalcycler as Brian did. My other thought is that by adding a computer fan during the cooling cycle it might help to improve the cooling rate. Either way, if you try doing pcr using a lightbulb, let us know how it works and if you did anything to improve the technique.

I've been taking a look at the Sears website from a user experience perspective to see what the retailer does well online, and where it can improve.
I've highlighted some excellent features on the site that other online retailers could learn from, some relatively minor irritations that would annoy users, and problems that may make users abandon the site.
Overall, the site performs well and contains some excellent features, such as proactive use of live chat.
However, even with the best sites, there is always room for improvement...
The good
Nice big search box
One of the most prominent features on the Sears homepage is the large site search box, which is similar to that used by Amazon.
Since Sears has a large stock range, including some technical products with long titles and model numbers, this makes perfect sense.
The trend is for customers to enter longer search queries of two or more words, and those that are looking for the model number of a specific TV or laptop will also tend to enter longer strings. Larger search boxes suit these users.
With a smaller search box, as customers type longer queries in, then the text will simply disappear from view. This is no disaster, but having a longer search box makes it easier for customers to edit their search terms in case of misspellings and allows them to be more precise with their product queries.
A minority of people may use site search, but by entering product names and model numbers, they are indicating greater purchase intent than the average user.
Targeted use of live chat on product pages
Having looked at a product page for a dishwasher and clicked on the specifications link, I see this pop up box proactively offering live chat with an appliances expert:
I'm not seeing this on every product page, which suggests that Sears has cleverly targeted the more complex products and offered users some one-to-one assistance.
I suspect the average person hasn't a clue how to distinguish one dishwasher from another, so it makes sense to offer live chat here. I've also noticed live chat appear if you hit the back button during checkout.
Also, stats have shown that, when live chat is used, this can produce conversion rates ten times the site average.
Surveys for checkout abandonment
I bailed out of the checkout process while looking at the site, but before I could head for another webpage, I saw this message:
Some may find the pop up annoying, but if even a relatively small proportion of people complete the survey, then this could provide some valuable insight for Sears to reduce checkout abandonment in future.
Sending cart abandonment emails
Cart abandonment emails are a great way to revive sales that may have otherwise been lost. After abandoning the checkout process, I received this email within a few hours:
Offering emails for out of stock items
I have my doubts about whether unavailable items should be shown, of which more later, but Sears does at least offer to email customers when the item is back in stock:
The bad
Unavailable stock
A retailer such as Sears, with a large product range, will always have a number of items that are currently unavailable for purchase.
There are a number of ways to handle out of stock items, such as offering to email customers, which Sears does, but displaying products which are out of stock can be annoying for customers.
Sears could add 'show only available items' to its filtered navigation options, which would avoid any frustration, while still allowing users to use the email option.
It could also show alternative, similar products which may suit the customer's needs, or perhaps advise them where they can find the item offline.
Poor usability when zooming in to images
Zoom tools are great for seeing detail on products, things like the number of USB ports on a laptop, or in this case, the control panel on a dishwasher.
As you can see from the screenshot, the highlighted area on the left suggests I should be seeing a larger image of the control panel, but I'm not.
Cluttered product pages
While many of the key points of information are clearly visible, (price, product name etc) there is much that is lost in the clutter of the page.
Of course, products like laptops require plenty of detail but I think the presentation of information could be better here.
Calls to action unclear
This was the case on product pages and during the checkout process. The checkout pages are long, but this does mean that, once you have filled details in, you're looking for the continue link.
It is there, but since it's below the fold on most pages, this may cause confusion for some users.
Assuming in store collection
After adding this TV to my cart and heading for the checkout, it defaults to in store pick up:
It's great that Sears offers this, but I may well be too lazy to head to the store or, since it's six miles away, I may prefer home delivery.
I'd rather it assumed delivery, then provided store pick up as an alternative option. After all, a 42" TV isn't the easiest thing to carry.
The ugly
Unavailable pages
I encountered this page on a number of occasions:
Sears does at least handle this well, by apologising for the error and providing alternative such as site search and a range of contact options, but too many error pages reduce customer trust in a website.
If they see multiple error pages, they may wonder if there is a problem with the site and even whether it is secure.
An Econsultancy survey on reasons for abandoning online purchases found that technical problems would cause 54.5% of users to abandon the site.
Perhaps it's just me, but when trying to select categories from the left hand menu, I was instead shown recommendations based on my most recently browsed products.
On this particular session, I was unable to access the laptops category except by using the site search box. Errors like this could easily cause customers to abandon the site.
In conclusion...
In general, Sears is a very usable site, and one which does well to make it easy to navigate and select from a wide product range.
There are more positives than negatives on the site. There are obvious plus points I haven't mentioned, such as a smooth enclosed checkout process, and excellent site search.
However, there are always potential areas for improvement with any e-commerce site, and some of the problems i mention here, if addressed, should help to boost Sears' conversion rates by removing barriers to purchase.
Of course, user testing, intelligent use of analytics and multivariate testing etc will help any e-commerce manager to improve sales more than a single site review, but the points I've mentioned here will hopefully provide some food for thought.
I'd love to see your thoughts on the review. Perhaps I'm wrong on some of these points, or maybe there are issues I've missed...

Hi Graham
Great post, some solid points in here and I think the navigational errors (not able to access laptops, for example) are inexcusable - something so key should have surely been picked up in testing? And I would add that the content on the homepage, and subsequent landing pages, look messy, and misaligned. I work on a large screen and the site does not look like it's optimised for me. The site also doesn't work particularly well on mobile! On a plus side, the product photography is good, and the range is fantastic.
I would like to ask something - you mentioned that live chat can increase conversions by up to ten times the site average. Is this specific, in Econsultancy's experience, to certain industries? For example, I imagine that the technical industry would benefit from this far greater than the apparel industry? If you have any further insights, then please let me know!
Hi Lewis,
I don't have too many stats on that. I would have thought it applies to more complex, big ticket items. Certainly makes sense.
I'll post some stats if i find any.
I've noticed that there is at least one company selling on Sears marketplace that are taking Amazon FBA items, adding a mark up to them and then selling them under their own name on Sears. I know this because I've seen it with our own products - the listing was reproduced on Sears with our images and description only the price was close to doubled. I wonder if anyone else has noticed this practice?
I had a very bad experience with sears. They were supposed to install my countertop,cabinets, and disherwasher. They never finshed the dishwasher electrical work after months of waiting they didn't complete the job. I was not happy with there services and won't deal with them again.

The Wildflower Tiny House
If you are considering tiny house living, you'll want to take a look at "The Wildflower Tiny House," there are so many possibilities to what this place can be used for. Whether you are in need of a backyard studio, vacation getaway, artist studio, backyard office, or full time tiny house to live.
This wildflower tiny house is perfect for simple living, it has natural cedar siding and Integrity windows that creat a beautiful appearance with lasting quality. The one level tiny house has 136 square feet of living space, with 63 square feet in the sleeping loft. The tiny house is 18-20 feet long, and 8.5 feet wide. This tiny house sleeps one to two people. The base model of this tiny house starts at $39,900 and extras can be added to the house from an incinerator toilet, a propane heater, a Fakro skylight in loft, and a solar package. Tiny Green Cabins puts their tiny house interiors through a series of tests, ensuring that the electrical, plumbing and heating systems are all functioning properly, as well as safe for their customers. They also have adopted additional requirements to add safety features such as fire extinguishers, tie downs, smoke alarms and LP/CO detectors.
The small house movement also known as the tiny house movement, is a famous description for the architectural and social movement that advocates living simply in small homes. In the United States the average size of new single family homes grew from 1,780 square feet in 1978 to 2,479 square feet in 2007, and to 2,662 square feet in 2013, despite a decrease in the actual size of the average family. Reasons for this include increased material wealth and prestige. The tiny house movement is a return to houses of less than 1,000 square feet. Frequently the distinction is made between small between 400 square feet and 1,000 square feet, and tiny houses that are less than 400 square feet, with some houses as small as 80 square feet. Downsizing to a tiny house is a great way to do away with large mortgages, hydro bills and all the stuff that goes into a large house, and a way to live a more sustainable lifestyle. Reasons for downsizing can also include less cost for repairs, less insurance, less taxes, less interest paid, freedom, security and more freedom over the location you live in.
Some of the different types of tiny houses you will find include micro living, teardrop campers, bicycles, sheds, tree houses, car camping, van dwelling, gypsy vardo caravan, backyard offices; small living, small houses, apartments, cottages, park models, house boats, yurts, house boats, cob cottages, dome home; tiny living, tiny houses, cabins, tiny house interiors, house trucks, buses, RVs, travel trailers, cargo trailers, no loft tiny houses, tiny house vacations, laneway houses, gingerbread cottages and more.

Discussion Board Community Survey Results
We were pleased that 584 of you provided feedback to the survey we ran in November 2013. Thank you!
View the complete results here >>>
Of those who responded, 86% were registered members and 14% were not yet part of our community — but we hope they join! We were happy to find out that the BCO discussion boards are considered important to 89% of those who replied, and most (86%) were satisfied with the support they receive on the boards.
The most popular reasons for using or reading the discussion boards were to:
- be part of a community of people who share my problems
- see how other patients with a similar diagnosis are doing
- find information on coping with my condition
- get information about treatment options
What We Learned...
Our community is not only robust, it is also very active with 78% of you on the discussion boards at least weekly and 30% on the boards multiple times a day.
Our online virtual community fosters close relationships: 39% of you said you have formed at least 1 close relationship with a member of the boards, and of these, 11% of you have formed more than 5 close relationships. This is AWESOME!
Visitors to the boards span all stages of breast cancer. Of those who responded, 10% are stage 0, 19% are stage I, 15% are stage II, 12% are stage III, 24% are stage IV, and 21% either did not know yet or the question did not apply to them. About 53% who were surveyed are in treatment and 42% have completed treatment. This is why our site focuses on ALL stages of breast cancer and those both in and out of treatment.
As we know, breast cancer affects a range of ages. Of those who replied, we learned that 4% of our respondents are in their 30s, 28% in their 40s, 42% in their 50s, 23% in their 60s, and 4% in their 70s. About 31% of those who replied have postgraduate degrees.
You told us that nutrition, anti-anxiety medications, and exercise are important complements to your medical treatment. We have various threads on these important topics, but we are looking to expand on these aspects by providing a community recipe box, continuing to write sections and blogs on ways to cope with and relieve stress, and sharing our favorite exercises.
More and more of the visitors to the boards are gaining access through mobile devices (56%), which is why we consistently develop and improve mobile device access to the boards.
We will be running another survey in a few months. Please keep your eye out for it so you can help to continue to improve the community.

Cleveland Clinic's Cosgrove: Obamacare now 'part of the fabric' of the U.S.
Cleveland Clinic CEO Toby Cosgrove said at the PRWeek Conference in New York on Thursday morning that the pharmaceutical industry has a responsibility to manage drug costs without the government stepping in.
He also explained how the Affordable Care Act has affected everyone in the U.S. and changed the healthcare system, much like Social Security and Medicare did decades ago. Therefore, it's unlikely to be repealed, he added.
"The name of the bill is 'Affordable' and the key is to make healthcare affordable," he said. "It's virtually impossible to see this bill in any way repealed; its politically untenable. The Affordable Care Act has become part of fabric of the United States."

However, Obamacare also means that hospitals have to proactively communicate with the public about the effects of the healthcare-reform law.
"You have to go to the public, which has to understand the potential of the change, and go to the caregivers, who have to change how they deliver care," Cosgrove said. "Both require a tremendous amount of communication."
To reach the next generation of patients, Cleveland Clinic has adopted new technologies to give consumers access to its services. After receiving feedback from patients, the hospital created an app to reach more people without them having to travel or call, streamlined its emergency-room systems, and began offering same-day appointments.
"We've adopted a policy that you ought to be able to get your healthcare anywhere, anytime," Cosgrove said. "I envision a day when you have a hospital building with no beds, no exam rooms, and people looking screens all over the place."

He also noted the importance of keeping employees informed. With the hospital network expanding globally with new locations in Abu Dhabi and one planned for London, communicating with staff is crucial to running the system.
The network has 49,000 staffers around the globe, including 3,400 doctors and 14,000 nurses. It also has locations in Toronto; Las Vegas; and Weston, Florida.
"You can never communicate too much," Cosgrove said. "I don't think you can begin to move and change an organization without people understanding what you're doing and what you're doing it."

By Oliver Bazely, Contributing Reporter
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – On Thursday 6th July 1922, the Republican government of Brazil had heard the army was on the verge of revolt, and pre-emptively shut several army bases. One army base, Forte de Copacabana, remained in the hands of the revolutionaries, and the government told the men surrender or die.
After letting the enlisted men leave, the remaining eighteen Lieutenants, each carrying a piece of the Brazilian flag, left their stronghold at the Copacabana Fort, and marched towards Catete Palace.
They were intent on making their demands for social and political reform heard by the Executive Power, at any cost. Blocking their path were 3,000 Republican troops. By the end of the day, only two Lieutenants were left standing.
The Old Republic, which was dominated by members of the old coffee growing families, congratulated themselves on having quelled the rebellion. But the legend of the Lieutenants did not fade into history, and when Getulio Vargas finally overthrew the Old Republic in 1930, the 'revolt of the eighteen' was cited as a landmark event.
For those drifting tourists that do reach the end of Copacabana beach, it is possible to find out more about the revolt, and other aspects of Rio's military history by visiting the Forte de Copacabana. After paying the R$4 fee, visitors will have access to a museum, as well as some large mobile and fixed artillery pieces.
One the seaward side of the fort, visitors can enter the main defensive structure, built in the early 20th century. The primary weapon is a huge, double-barreled 305mm cannon, that was capable of firing a 445kg shell over 20km, although it has now been decommissioned. There is also a smaller, 190mm cannon that continues to function.
Neither weapon has seen much action, although the guide tells stories of an unsuspecting Nazi ship that was successfully sunk during the Second World War. The other exhibits include original furniture, workshops and rooms full of motors that powered the massive turret.
For the less military-minded, there are two cafes that offer peaceful views back towards Copacabana. One of these is a scaled-down Confeitaria Colombo, which serves reasonable lunches, but, more importantly, the same delicious pastries available in the main downtown restaurant. For some, the thought of a Pastel de Belem with sea view is worth the R$4 fee alone.
In addition to the coastal defenses, the fort includes a small military museum, where visitors can learn about the history of the military in Brazil. The display shows colonial explorers, clad in thick leather armor that must have been hellishly hot in the Brazilian summer. There are further uniforms from Brazil's history, such as those of the dashing Imperial officers and their ornate medals.
There is a small display about the Brazilian expeditionary force, which sent more than 25,000 Brazilians to Europe during the Second World War. Brazilian troops fought alongside the allies as part of the Italian Campaign. Although not reflected in the underwhelming exhibit, over 900 Brazilians died in the war, with infantry recording several victories in battles in the Po valley.
Finally, tucked away in a dark room on one side of a staircase, are portraits of the various presidents of the military dictatorship. These stern looking men were responsible for the economic miracle of the late 1960's and early 1970's, but also committed some heinous crimes against leftist subversives, leaving a dark stain on the national memory.
As you leave the museum, and head back out onto Copacabana beach, the laid-back Carioca attitude may seem less of a vice, and more of a finely-tuned adaptation to a tumultuous past.

Asdrubal Cabrera hit a three-run homer, Nick Swisher had a solo shot and the surging Cleveland Indians beat the New York Mets 9-4 on Saturday night.
Cleveland has won four in a row for the first time since it captured eight straight from July 24-Aug. 1. Swisher finished with two hits and two RBIs as the Indians stayed in the hunt for the AL's second wild-card slot.
Corey Kluber (8-5), the first of seven Cleveland pitchers, allowed two runs in five-plus innings. Kluber, pitching for the first time since Aug. 5 after being sidelined by a sprained right middle finger, was pulled after walking the leadoff hitter in the sixth.
Jonathon Niese (6-7) lost for the first time in six starts since coming off the disabled list on Aug. 11.

On June 1, 2017, President Donald Trump announced that the United States would withdraw from the Paris Agreement (the "Agreement"), describing it as "disadvantaging the United States" and indicating that the United States will "cease implementation" thereof, unless the United States can renegotiate its terms. While purporting to be a definitive statement of U.S. policy, the President's announcement raised more questions than it answered.
1. Where We Were
The Agreement was the culmination of a four-year negotiation among the 197 nations that are parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). The parties reached agreement on December 12, 2015, and the United States formally joined the Agreement on September 3, 2016. Former President Barack Obama did not send the Agreement to the Senate for ratification (as would be required for a treaty), but rather relied on existing authorities to support the United States' participation, including his authority under Article II of the U.S. Constitution, federal statutes (including the Clean Air Act) and the UNFCCC. Central to the conclusion that the Agreement did not require ratification by the Senate: its terms are aspirational rather than obligatory.
Before leaving office, President Obama took a number of steps to implement the pledges made in the Agreement. Under Article 9.1 of the Agreement, the United States must provide financial resources to assist developing countries with their obligations under the UNFCCC. Although the Agreement does not specify how the financial resources are to be provided, or in what form, the United States promised to contribute $3 billion to the Green Climate Fund (GCF)—an initiative designed to help developing countries meet their "mitigation and adaptation needs." During President Obama's term, the United States contributed the first $1 billion to the GCF.1 In addition, pursuant to Article 4.9 of the Agreement, the United States offered its first Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC), pledging "to achieve an economy-wide target of reducing *** greenhouse gas emissions by 26%-28% below *** 2005 level[s] in 2025 and to make best efforts to reduce *** emissions by 28%."
2. Where We Are
President Trump's decision to withdraw from the Agreement leaves these and other commitments in doubt. Although President Trump did not specify how he intends to remove the United States from the Agreement, reports suggest that the President will follow the terms of the Agreement providing for withdrawal. Under Article 28, the United States can withdraw from the Agreement no earlier than November 4, 2020—the day after the 2020 election.2
As such, the United States will remain a party to the Agreement for the next three and a half years, with a continuing duty to abide by commitments made thereunder. The extent to which those commitments require concrete action, however, is unclear.
During his speech announcing withdrawal from the Agreement, President Trump stated that the United States would make no further contributions to the GCF. However, this refusal is not necessarily a violation of the Agreement. Article 9.1 does not mandate that contributions to developing countries take a specific form or reach a minimum amount. Accordingly, it could be argued that the $1 billion contributed to the GCF during the Obama administration is sufficient to satisfy the United States' obligations under Article 9.1, even if falls short of the United States' pledge.
Similarly, under Article 13.7 of the Agreement, the United States must "regularly" provide information, including national inventory reports of anthropogenic emissions within the country and "information necessary" to track the United States' progress toward achieving its NDC. Like other provisions of the Agreement, however, these reporting requirements are open to interpretation. Specifically, the Agreement fails to identify a particular time for such "regular" communications, or a date by which at least one communication must be made. The UNFCCC, on the other hand, obligates parties to publish by April 15 of each year national inventories of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions, and to communicate climate change mitigation and adaptation measures. To avoid violating the UNFCCC treaty, the United States must therefore continue to submit reports for the next three and a half years and beyond.
In addition to fulfilling its UNFCCC reporting requirements, the United States would be expected (as a member of the Agreement) to send a delegation to the 23rd Conference of Parties (COP23), to be held in Bonn, Germany, in November 2017. Given its decision to withdraw from the Agreement, it is unclear whether the United States will participate in COP23. Notably, EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt participated in only a few hours of the recent two-day G-7 environmental summit held in Bologna, Italy.
Perhaps the most consequential question related to compliance with the Agreement over the next three and a half years is whether the United States will submit a new NDC. Article 4.9 of the Agreement provides that each party must create and communicate an NDC to the UNFCCC every five years. Although the United States submitted an NDC in 2016, that NDC was developed prior to the Paris Conference as an "Intended Nationally Determined Contribution" and was converted into an NDC when the United States formally joined the Agreement in September 2016. At the time the Agreement was adopted, the parties requested that nations like the United States, "whose intended nationally determined contribution *** contains a time frame up to 2025 *** communicate by 2020 a new [NDC] and *** do so every five years thereafter." Hence, the United States is expected to produce a new NDC prior to the date on which withdrawal from the Agreement could be effectuated. Failure to do so would flout that expectation.3
3. Where We Are Going
Further complicating this already thorny thicket, President Trump appeared to leave the door to future U.S. efforts to combat climate change open by indicating a willingness to "renegotiate" the Agreement. If he is serious about that intention, President Trump would have several options: for example, he could attempt to negotiate an entirely independent agreement, revise the existing Agreement or simply modify the commitments the United States made thereunder.
If President Trump attempted to negotiate a new accord or revise the existing Agreement, the path of least resistance would be to work within the UNFCCC treaty. That treaty provides an underlying framework designed to encourage international cooperation in combating climate change and has an established schedule of annual COP meetings during which negotiations could take place. However, even proceeding through the UNFCCC, any effort to negotiate a new or revised agreement would face significant hurdles. Several prominent European nations—including France, Germany and Italy—have indicated that they will not entertain discussions toward a new agreement on climate change. Furthermore, Chinese Premier Li Keqiang stated last week at the 12th China-EU business summit that "The Paris Agreement represents the broadest consensus of the international community." "All parties," he added, "need to jointly safeguard this hard-won outcome and work for its effective implementation." Given the public embrace of the Agreement and apparent commitment to its implementation even without the United States' participation, world leaders are unlikely to engage with the Trump administration on efforts to arrive at an entirely new agreement, or even to revise the existing Agreement.
By contrast, redefining U.S. obligations within the Agreement would be an easier task. To start, President Trump could modify the United States' NDC and establish less aggressive goals for reducing emissions. (As just noted, the United States is expected to submit a new NDC before 2020). Although Article 4.11 suggests that NDCs should be altered to ratchet emissions-reduction goals upward rather than downward, allowing parties to "adjust *** existing nationally determined contribution[s] with a view to enhancing [their] level[s] of ambition," downward adjustments are not expressly prohibited. The President might also redefine commitments by eliminating, or reducing, U.S. financial obligations, such as the country's $3 billion pledge to the GCF. Given the flexibility of the Agreement—as well as the fact that it was undertaken unilaterally by President Obama without approval by Congress—President Trump would have substantial latitude to make these changes.
If President Trump opted to modify U.S. commitments during the three and a half years prior to withdrawal and/or successfully propose amendments to the Agreement to make it more favorable to the United States, he could decide ultimately to remain in the Agreement, notwithstanding his recent commitment to withdraw. Indeed, this approach could have a significant political upside: by announcing a U.S. withdrawal from the Agreement, but later remaining within it, the President would be able to claim both that he kept his promises to leave the Agreement because it was a bad deal for America and that he successfully negotiated a "better deal," potentially appeasing some who have steadfastly disagreed with his initial announcement to withdraw. Arguably, that course of action offers greater potential political gains than withdrawing entirely from the Agreement and making no effort to replace it.
The President's stated intention to renegotiate the Agreement, the political benefits he might derive from doing so and the significant time lapse before withdrawal from the Agreement can be completed together present an opportunity for advocacy for stakeholders on all sides of the issue. Notwithstanding the administration's current stance on the Agreement—and on the fight against climate change more generally—advocates may find success in persuading the administration that remaining within the Agreement is in the country's (and the President's) interest.
1. The United States has contributed two $500 million payments, one in March 2016 and the other in January 2017.
2. Parties to the Agreement can submit notifications of withdrawal three years after the date on which the Agreement became effective, which, for the United States, was November 4, 2016. After submitting notification of withdrawal, the Agreement permits withdrawal after one year.
3. Of course, the Trump administration's effort to dismantle the regulatory programs that support compliance with the existing NDC—the Clean Power Plan and the Methane Initiative, for example—could also be seen as contravening the spirit of the Agreement (if not its plain terms) in the years before withdrawal.

How did you learn English as a child?
I suspect you will say that you learned it from your mother. Most of us learned it that way.
"Come here."
"Don`t touch that."
"That`s hot."
"Look at that beautiful flower."
"I love you."
Things like that. Our parents tried to teach us and keep us safe. We learned our native language and about the world that way.
TEFL in Japan - Japanese Parents
I find that Japanese parents, intelligent people in general, but naïve about how to learn a language. They expect that English teachers will teach their students in the same way as they learned Japanese.
We can`t however. We do not live with the family. We cannot be with the children everyday.
We see them at most once a week, and of course there are holidays that interrupt even that rare meeting.
We must use a different way to teach children, one that works for the situation we really face, which is meeting once a week.
If English is being reinforced everyday because mothers speak English to their children, then of course the kids remember the English. But for Japanese children this is not the case usually.
TEFL in Japan - Teaching Phonics
By teaching the children to read, you are giving them the ability to not only read books, but to be able to study English on their own at home.
The schools that teach English through songs, and chants, are not really teaching English well I feel.
Why not?
Because unless the children use English outside of the English school, they will soon forget the chant or the song. Even if they can remember it, little of the English learned will be usable outside of the English school.
Once children can read however, they can study the English that they will use. Indeed there is a connection between writing, reading and remembering English vocabulary and grammar. While chants and songs are valuable, basing your whole curriculum on them is not.
I am not just an English teacher. I am a father of three children, and it was very important to me that they be bilingual. As we live in Japan, I realized that it would be a difficult task to "create"bilingual children, but it was a goal I was very motivated to accomplish.
I won`t lie to you. I think it takes twenty years to create a bilingual child. I tell clients that too.
I have that information right on my Kevin`s English Schools homepage. I think parents should know the truth.
Some parents want teachers to teach English conversation from day 1. While I do that, my focus is on phonics. I believe in David Paul`s philosophy.
I have proven for myself that it works, and not only with my own children, but with hundreds of children who have studied at Kevin`s English Schools.
Masami, Hiromi, and Manabu all went on to study abroad at foreign universities after studying at our schools. The method we use at KES works! Mao is about to go off to school in the USA. He is fluent in English and has studied at our Anne school since he was a young boy.
However you cannot create a fluent English speaker in one year, unless they live in Canada or another English speaking country.
Again I recommend David Paul`s Finding Out series for children. There are five levels, level one being the easiest. To a lesser extent I recommend English Land. There are many levels for this course too. English Land helps with motivation as it features Disney characters.
Anything that motivates the children is great to my mind. I don`t feel English Land is as strong on phonics as Paul`s series of books, but it is stronger in terms of teaching English Conversation. If you use Paul`s series, Finding Out, you will need to supplement with some of your own speaking activities.
Either series is great for teaching children age 6-12. Both are highly recommended.

Ahn Jae Hyun and Sunny talk marriage
Actor Ahn Jae Hyun, best known for his role as Cheon Yoon Jae in the hit K-drama My Love From Another Star, recently sat down with Girls' Generation (SNSD) member and Roommate Sunny for a recent episode of her radio show FM Date to talk about his life and future plans.
After talking about his debut and revealing he originally refused the role in My Love from Another Star because of his lack of acting experience, Ahn Jae Hyun dove into to the topic of marriage and children. He revealed not only does he want to get married early, but he wants to have a little girl and wear matching outfits! He stated this during his interview with Sunny: "I want to go to a fashion collection with my daughter whose looks is similar to mine, wearing matching family outfits. I also want to try walking (as a model) while holding my child. It's going to be really fun."
See Joo Won and Shim Eun Kyung make beautiful music together in Tomorrow's Cantabile
Umm who besides me thinks this is the cutest thing ever and wants to hunt Ahn Jae Hyun down and force him to get married right away?!
If you're still on the fence about how your future baby with him might look, you can study his face in the recently released film Fashion King, also starring Tomorrow's Cantabile's Joo Won and To the Beautiful You's Sulli.

SIR – My daughter would heartily disagree with Caroline Crabbe (Letters, July 25), who says there is nothing that children like more than their parents singing to them, even if they sing a bit out of tune.
Her first stringing together of words was "No, Mummy. No," – her response to my singing in the car.
Sandra Miles-Taylor
St Albans, Hertfordshire
SIR – My baby granddaughter's favourite rhyme is Row, Row, Row the Boat. I sing a variety of songs, but she asks for this one continually by rocking back and forth and saying "row row" – her first words.
In Luxor I heard Egyptian children singing the same song, over and over. What gives this tune such appeal internationally?
Isobel Greenshields
Billericay, Essex
SIR – My husband enjoyed singing to our baby boy and was mystified when young Will started to make a "chk" sound during his renditions. We eventually worked out that he was making the noise of the tape recorder being turned off.

There is no better feeling than being back in your own bed after traveling. Okay, maybe I lied... It was almost just as good to be back in a real gym!
|My amazing gym that I appreciate so much more now!
Speaking of the gym, I was a dummie and left my keys at home when I left for my trip, so I ended up going straight from the airport to the gym to kill some time before B got off work. I had already eaten all the food I packed, (crazy, I know!) so I was forced to get food at the airport. I was plenty early for my flight (because I'm super anal and get the airport at least 2 hours before my flight...) so I did some exploring to see what my options were. I literally couldn't find ANYTHING. I ideally needed something with carbs and protein since it was going to be my pre-workout meal and there was just nothing that was going to work! So, as a last ditch effort I perused Jamba Juice's menu and saw that there was the option to add Whey protein to any of their shakes. They also have oatmeal, so I put two and two together and had them make me oatmeal with a scoop of protein powder, and banana's for quick energy. (The man working there did let me know no one had ever ordered their oatmeal that way... Thanks for making me feel like a weirdo!)
The only downside to this was 1. I have no idea what kind of protein powder they use and 2. the oatmeal was made with soy milk. Anyway, this is the best I could have possibly done, and it was a far better pre-workout meal than a burger and fries :) After the gym B's family and I went out to dinner at our favorite sushi restaurant (amazing), and today it's back to the grind! Can't wait to re-stock our empty fridge this weekend and get some 'real' workouts in now that I'm back in my wonderfully large gym!!

چکیده انگلیسی
Considerable scholarly interest has been shown in the relationship between market orientation and business performance. Although a number of environmental moderators have been postulated to influence the market orientation–performance link, extant findings are inconclusive. This study takes a different approach by conceptualizing product life cycle stages in terms of variations in competitive intensity, market and technological turbulence. Data collected in Hong Kong reveal that Atuahene-Gima's [Atuahene-Gima, K. (1995). An exploratory analysis of the impact of market orientation on new product performance: A contingent approach. Journal of Product Innovation Management, 12: 275–293] product life cycle measure successfully discriminates stages in terms of market and technological turbulence, but fails to capture variation in competitive intensity. Market orientation is also found to be more highly valued by firms in growing and mature markets than firms in introductory and declining markets. Finally, the link between market orientation and firm performance is found to be strongest for firms in the growth stage and weakest for firms in the introductory stage of the product life cycle.

SUP Paddleboards / Stand-Up-Paddleboards
Fat Yak Samos SUP Paddleboard
The Samos stand up paddle board from Fatyak is a brilliant board for all abilities. Stable, robust and available in a range of great colours it will ensure all paddlers will all have an enjoyable time.
Samos SUP is a rotationally moulded stand up paddle board, born
to bring something new to the exploding SUP arena. Traditionally,
epoxy and composite boards are the natural choice, although with
the growing adoption of inflatable paddle boards, we wanted to
bring a fresh new alternative to the market.
We had two main priorities in creating the Samos. Firstly, to combat some traditional problems found in rotationally moulded boards. Second, to create a feel that was comparable to more expensive options on the market, suitable for beginner to intermediate level paddlers. Typically, rotationally-moulded paddle boards have been problematic due to their evolution from a kayak design, making them impractical in shape and weight; often in excess of 25KG.
The innovative design of the Samos targets both these problems in one. The unique wishbone features on the Samos works by acting against the natural yarding as the paddler strokes. This keeps the nose pointing straight; splitting below the deck to give support for a natural stance. In doing so, this has allowed us to produce a much thinner board than many standard rotationally-moulded boards. This means at 20KG the Samos is one of the lightest rotationally moulded stand up paddle boards on the market! However, the Samos still manages to boast an all-rounder profile. This makes it great for all applications from day play, and exploring, to fitness and fun on the waves.
Samos includes a wide set of features as standard:
Carry handle grips and deck area,
Drain plug, bottle holder and paddle.
An all-rounder fin, and custom 10.5? fin box accepting all standard fins. So changing your fin is easy!
Front bungee storage
Free Mizu stainless steel water bottle with every purchase!
As always, you can be safe in the knowledge that its manufactured to Fatyaks high quality rotational moulding standards. This means no seams and no joints. As well as this, the Samos SUP is manufactured using high grade, high density UV stabilised polyethylene. Made in accordance with BS7852 as well as our own high standard procedures, in Somerset, England.
O'Shea Inflatable SUP Paddleboards
We are extremely proud to be retailers of the excellent range of O'Shea inflatable SUP Paddleboards. All OShea SUP Boards are CAD designed by surf legend Farrel OShea and draw on his 30+ years of board shaping experience.
O'Shea SUPs are made from Korean Mirasol drop stitch, which is widely regarded as the best performing SUP core construction that money can buy. This 4.75" thick drop stitch fabric is not unique to O'Shea but it is usually only found on the very top boards costing considerably more. This extra thickness (20% thicker than most) makes the structure approx 35% stiffer than nearly every other board both longitudinally and tortionally, which in turn leads to superior performance and stability that is second to none.
O'Shea SUP Paddleboards are extremely hard wearing thanks to the 1000D PVC with double rail lap, which is better than most other premium or high end boards on the market. The vivid colourways also enable you to be seen and stay safe out on the water.
O'Shea SUPs love being pumped up to 15-20 psi but still perform brilliantly at lower volumes of around 12-15 psi. This means that they can be pumped up perfectly well without too much effort via the high volume pump supplied with each package.
In our opinion, O'Shea SUPs offer the best blend of performance versus price and are therefore the best option for most recreational paddleboarders. We use them extensively at our own watersports centre and they are universally praised by everyone that uses them. In fact they are so good that even our Senior Instructor has bought one, which is high praise indeed.

The hot topic at U.S. Cellular Field this week, so to speak, has been the disappearance of the White Sox's home advantage that usually comes with warm weather.
File it under "cold case."
Not closed, but certainly cooled off after the Sox pounded 13 hits, including six home runs, in a 10-7 victory over the Dodgers, who statistically have the best pitching staff in baseball.

Monensin Enriched Urea Molasses Mineral Block on Feed Intake, Nutrient Digestibility and Blood Glucose in Cattle Fed on Wheat Straw Based Diet
De, Debasis; Singh, G.P.;
Twelve adult male crossbred (Sahiwal
Holstein Friesian) cattle were distributed into four groups of three each on body weight basis. Animals were given wheat straw as a basal diet. The animals of group I and II were supplemented with concentrate mixture and animals of group III and IV were supplemented with cold processed urea molasses mineral block (UMMB). Thirty mg monensin/day/animal was supplemented to the animals of group II and 35 ppm monensin were incorporated in the UMMB supplemented to the animals of group IV. Vit.A and D mixture was given to all the animals once a week. Dry matter (DM) intake (kg/d) through wheat straw was 19.0 percent higher in the UMMB (without monensin) supplemented group (group III) than those of the concentrate mixture (without monensin) supplemented group i.e. group I. Total DM intake (kg/d) was lower in the monensin supplemented groups than those of non-supplemented groups though differences were not statistically significant. Digestible dry matter, organic matter (OM), crude protein (CP) and total digestible nutrients (TDN) intake were similar in all the groups. Average block consumption for 45 d period in the group III (0.95 kg/d) and group IV (0.84 kg/d) did not differ significantly. DM digestibility (%) was significantly (p<0.01) higher in the group II (58.9) as compared to the group I (52.7) and group III (54.0) but similar to the group IV (57.2). OM digestibility was also significantly (p<0.05) higher in the group II (63.2) as compared to that of the group I (54.9) but similar to the group III (57.8) and IV (59.2). Ether extract (EE) digestibility was significantly (p<0.01) higher in the group I (76.9) and II (80.3) as compared to the group III (59.87) and IV (55.77). Nitrogen free extract (NFE) digestibility was significantly (p<0.05) higher in the group II (62.38) as compared to that of the other groups. Crude protein (CP) and crude fibre (CF) digestibilities were not affected either due to UMMB or monensin. Nitrogen balance did also not differ significantly among the groups. However, Ca and P balance (g/d) in the group III (3.1, 1.3) and IV (3.0, 1.4) were significantly (p<0.01) higher than those of the group I (0.6, 0.2) and II (0.4, 0.3). Blood glucose (mg/100ml) was significantly (p<0.01) higher in the group II (65.2) and IV (65.2) as compared to the group I (55.2) and group III (53.9). Plasma urea-N level (mg/100 ml) in the group III (19.0) and IV (17.8) were significantly (p<0.01) higher than that of the group I (10.5) and II (12.3). So, monensin supplementation either with cold process UMMB or concentrate mixture did not show any additional effect on feed intake and digestibility but increases blood glucose level in adult cattle.

Lee Kwang Soo, Jo Jin Woong, Lee Dong Hwi, and Park Jung Min become Seo Kang Joon's Entourage
In upcoming K-drama Entourage, Seo Kang Joon (Cheese in the Trap) plays a rising star trying his best to navigate the parties and perils of life in the Korean entertainment business. Luckily for him, he doesn't have to go at it alone, but is surrounded by his entourage made up of Lee Kwang Soo (Running Man), Lee Dong Hwi (Answer Me 1988), Park Jung Min (You Are All Surrounded), and Jo Jin Woong (Signal). The drama recently released character posters introducing us to each member of the hilarious bromance.
Seo Kang Jooon plays "the guy that has it all," carefree playboy Cha Young Bin. His poster reads, "Enjoying life to the fullest. That's what's going to improve my acting, know what I mean?"
Jo Jin Woong plays "the crazy guy," his suave, ball-busting talent agent. His poster reads, "After making him a real star, turning him into a real actor is my strategy. Punk!"
Park Jung Min plays "the relatively normal guy," his serious on-call manager. His poster reads, "I'm not sure if I'm working as a manager, or if I'm just cleaning up after a friend's mess."
Lee Kwang Soo plays "the has-been," an actor trying to hang on to his career. His poster reads, "During my heyday, I was on the same level as H.O.T. and Sechs Kies, okay?"
And Lee Dong Hwi is "the guy that just likes to party," his goofy best friend who has nothing else to do but follow around his superstar friend. His poster reads "I'm not unemployed. I drive Young Bin around and accompany him! Right?"
Here we see the whole crew together, hanging out and living the ultimate bachelor life.
And here we see the crew living large on the red carpet.
And feeling on top of the world!
Here's a cute behind-the-scenes video of the stars creating the posters:
Are you excited to see this fun bromance brought to life by such an excellent cast? Comment below!

Mission Statement
The Archives and Special Collections Department is part of the Northeastern University Libraries and has two distinct purposes: to document the University and to collect primary source material to support student and faculty research interests. The University Archives' goal is to document the teaching, research, community service, and administrative functions of the University and to document student life. This goal is accomplished by collecting the official records of the University, which are materials in any format that were generated or received by Northeastern's various administrative divisions and academic departments, in the conduct of their business. Special Collections preserves and makes available the records of private, non-profit, community-based organizations that document diverse and under-documented populations.
In the fall of 1998, the Northeastern University Archives and Special Collections Department began a two-year project funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission and the Frank M. Barnard Foundation to identify, locate, secure, and make accessible the most important and at-risk historical records of Boston's African American, Chinese, gay and lesbian, and Latino communities. Although the outside funding has been exhausted, the Archives is continuing to preserve and make available the records of social justice organizations that serve these diverse populations. See our website at www.lib.neu.edu/archives for more information about our work.
